Fate: Why Don't you Find Another Savior

The sea near Fuyuki City, which had been calm originally, was now turbulent.

Artoria's figure rose and fell with the waves as she looked at Morgan not far away, panting.

When she was alive, Artoria had never had any combat experience with her sister Morgan. To her, Morgan's magic and spearmanship were all unfamiliar.

From a combat level alone, Morgan was obviously more comprehensive than Artoria.

Morgan's skill in applying magic on the battlefield might even surpass Artoria's teacher, Merlin.

As Saber pondered in her heart, Morgan's voice rang out.

"Be honored, Artoria. I mean it."

Artoria couldn't help but be extremely alert. Her magical power was used to the extreme, and she even strengthened her body's defense to avoid being hurt by the same attack a second time.

When the white magic light in Morgan's hand condensed to the maximum, it suddenly flew out of her hand and disappeared into the sky.

Artoria was on full alert.

"Saber! Up there!"

Irisviel's delicate voice came from the coast, anxiously reminding Artoria.

Unable to guess the form of the next magical attack, Artoria prioritized her attention on protecting herself and watching Morgan's every move, inadvertently ignoring her surroundings.

She looked up suddenly.

Right above Artoria, thick ink dripped into the space and the water surface, dyeing them pitch black while creating ripples.

Bluish-white magical light spots appeared on the "water surface" and slowly rotated around the center of the ripples.

A strong magical power emerged from "under the water."

The sharp tip of a spear slowly emerged and began to spin.

Not good!

Artoria's intuition gave her a strong warning. She instantly released the "Wind King Barrier" that concealed her weapon's appearance, revealing the sword shining with golden light, and swung it upward with all her strength to meet the magic spear.

The treasure collided with magic, and the immense power caused the already turbulent sea to sink deeply with Artoria at the center.

There was no time to release the weapon's true name, so she could only fight back with her Noble Phantasm's original form.

The enormous magic power forced Artoria, who was standing on the sea, to bend her legs down, using all her strength to block the magic spear that fell from the sky. As her strength reached its limit, the Knight King let out a high-spirited battle cry.

"Drink aa ..."

The two forces canceled each other out, and the sea surface was pushed down several meters again by the wind pressure. After a moment of silence, a hurricane strong enough to tear a person apart spread in all directions.

Irisviel fell to the beach on the shore and instinctively lowered her body to resist the aftermath of the battlefield.

Also affected were Emiya Kiritsugu and Hisau Maiya, who rushed to the seaside park following the signal from the transmitter that Irisviel carried with her.

The innate instinct developed from long experience on the battlefield allowed the two to hide behind a thick tree trunk immediately.

A gust of wind swept through the tree trunks, blowing away fragile leaves and branches, and the forest in the park made a surging sound.

The battle broke out directly in the seaside park. The nearest commanding height in this area was the Bayside Warehouse District, which was hundreds of meters away and had cranes and high towers.

Having no choice but to approach secretly through the woods, Emiya Kiritsugu came to a place very close to his wife Irisviel.

"Kiritsugu, there seem to be other people fighting nearby," Maiya's voice came from the headset of the wireless communication device. "The two sides fighting seem to be Berserker's Master and Lancer's Servant, and the location is moving towards the Wangan warehouse area in Fuyuki."

Kiritsugu could not help but feel deeply shocked.

The Holy Grail War only has a rough rule that it should not be fought in public, and it is up to the Masters and Servants to decide who to be enemies with and who to ally with.

However, the Master and Servants fighting on their own was beyond Kiritsugu Emiya's understanding of the Holy Grail War.

Could it be that Berserker lost her rationality due to frenzy and abandoned her Master, causing the Master to be attacked by other Servants?

If that's the case, why not use the Command Spell to summon the Servants to defend?

Is it too late? Kiritsugu had a further question.

"I've spotted Irisviel, Kiritsugu," Maiya reported again. "She seems to have fallen on the beach due to the aftermath of the battle between Saber and Berserker."

Kiritsugu tightened his grip on the Walther sniper rifle and made a decision, "Maiya, go pick up Irisviel. I want to see who is fighting with Berserker's Master."

"Understood."

After giving the order, Kiritsugu immediately set off, passing through the trees and bushes of Fuyuki Seaside Park and heading straight for the Wangan Warehouse.

He had no intention of showing up to join the battle and rescue anyone. Saber and Berserker were fighting hard. If Saber was in danger of losing, Kiritsugu would choose to snipe Berserker's Master directly from the dark.

He ran quickly along the dark east side of the port, climbing over the neatly stacked containers with his bare hands, looking for a suitable surveillance position.

The most ideal place was the gantry crane at this location, which is the highest point in the entire Bayside warehouse area.

But if that is the case, someone must have already occupied that place in advance, using it as the best lookout tower to monitor Masters and Servants approaching this place from any direction.

In that case, it would be necessary to avoid routes where they might be observed and get closer to this "second battlefield."

Soon, Kiritsugu found a position from which he could monitor other Masters who might be on the gantry crane and overlook the battlefield in the warehouse street. He held his gun and used the night vision scope to look for the warring parties.

After seeing the battle situation clearly, Emiya Kiritsugu thought he had seen it wrongly. He moved away from the sight, used magic to enhance his vision, and looked at the battlefield.

"How can this be..."

Originally, Kiritsugu thought that the battle situation that Maiya noticed was caused by Berserker's Master avoiding Lancer's pursuit.

In fact, it went even further than Emiya Kiritsugu had expected.

On par.

Although the unarmed Berserker Master Tatsuya Suzuki had been dodging Lancer's attacks, there was no sign of disorder in his movements and responses, and he was even able to counterattack.

Sometimes he resorted to fists and feet, and sometimes he performed magic that he may have prepared in advance.

The ground and the containers on both sides were all covered with rugged icebergs. Lancer even had to prioritize maintaining balance several times because of the icy ground.

"A water-attribute magician?" Emiya Kiritsugu narrowed his eyes.

The information about Tatsuya Suzuki was very limited. All he could gather from his prior investigation was that Tatsuya belonged to the Magic Association and had some connections with Aozaki Touko, who analyzed the Primordial Rune and restored the basics of Rune magic.

However, there were very few specific records of Tatsuya performing magic. Basically, they were recorded as special tasks undertaken by the Magic Association and were sealed up according to regulations after the execution.

"What a tricky guy."

Kiritsugu Emiya gave up on sniping Tatsuya Suzuki because his sniper scope couldn't capture that person at all.
