(Scene: Fourth Holy Grail War Timeline)
Looking at this scene on the screen, Irisviel, who was riding on the motorcycle with Saber, couldn't help but be deeply moved.
She could see that Saber had held back at the critical moment because she knew Illya was her daughter.
At this moment, Irisviel was filled with conflict.
Of course, she hoped Saber could win. After all, after spending this time together, her relationship with Saber had become very close.
However, Saber's enemy was her daughter, Illya, and she didn't want Illya to lose either.
Defeat in the Holy Grail War... could cost one their life.
But when she thought about her own life, Irisviel felt even worse.
Because her daughter, Illya, on the screen was just so small, still a little person, a child.
Yet, she herself only had about a year left to live...
Artoria noticed the change in the mood of the person beside her.
She knew exactly what Irisviel was thinking, but she had no solution.
She could only sigh and, like Irisviel, turn her gaze to the screen in the sky.
[On the screen, simultaneously]
["ROAR!!!" Berserker let out a deafening roar. The axe-sword in his hands carried world-shattering power as it fiercely smashed towards Saber.]
[BANG! With a loud crash, even using all her strength, Saber could not resist this blow. She was sent flying, blood spraying across the sky.]
[Saber, covered in blood, barely supported herself with her sword and stood up again. Her eyes revealed determination and defiance.]
[Live Chat/Comments]
[Gawain]: The King was defeated by a mere Berserker?
[Galahad]: We are merely at a disadvantage! The final outcome of the battle has not yet been decided!
[Mordred]: Anything is possible before the battle is over.
[Gilbert]: But why does Saber seem to have lost so much power?
[Kotomine Kirei]: It's because Saber's Master, Emiya Shirou, possesses insufficient magical energy.
[Tōsaka Tokiomi]: Correct. Although the Servant's own strength is important, if the Master's magical energy is insufficient, the Servant will naturally be in an awkward position where they have power but cannot use it fully.
[Bedivere]: It is so heartbreaking to see the King like this... injured twice in two battles. I suspect there is no effective way to heal her this time, just like last time.
[Knights of the Round Table]: Eh...
(Back to the screen)
[The battle between Berserker and Saber continued.]
[Illya was slightly surprised to see Saber target her, only to finally reveal a flaw due to hesitation.]
[However, Illya didn't have so many reservations!]
["No need to hesitate, Berserker! Finish her off in one go! Cut off her head!" Illya giggled, but her voice carried cruelty and resolve.]
[Emiya Shirou's eyes were wide with desperation as he stared at the scene, his heart filled with anxiety and helplessness.]
(Scene: Fourth Holy Grail War Timeline)
Emiya Kiritsugu looked at this scene on the screen and couldn't help but light a cigarette.
Illya looked as cute as he remembered.
However, her actions and personality were far beyond what he had expected.
His heart felt as if it were being squeezed, suffocating and painful.
Not only that, Emiya Kiritsugu also felt guilt towards Saber.
After all, the experiences of his own Servant weren't great. After becoming his adopted son's Servant, she had to fight his daughter.
And now she was injured by his daughter's Servant.
"I'm truly sorry..."
After taking a deep drag from his cigarette, Emiya Kiritsugu could only offer an apology to the Saber on the screen.
[The battle on the screen continues!!!]
[As Berserker charged, just as Saber was about to be struck, Tōsaka Rin moved!]
["Vier, Stil, Erschießung (Four Stances, Shooting)!" At the critical moment, Rin Tōsaka threw the magic gem in her hand. The raw jewel transformed into thousands of magical bullets shooting towards Berserker.]
[However, these magical bullets didn't even make Berserker flinchophan, let alone cause damage. Rin Tōsaka continued her attacks, but Berserker ignored them completely, heading straight for Saber.]
[Live Chat/Comments]
[Tōsaka Tokiomi]: As expected of Rin. Your talent as a magus truly lives up to my expectations.
[Waver Velvet]: But it seems useless, uncle.
[Tōsaka Tokiomi]: @Waver Velvet, that's easy for you to say! Rin's young age is one thing, but most importantly, Rin's opponent is Berserker! It's already amazing to have the courage to face Berserker head-on!
(Back to the screen)
[The battle on the screen continues!]
[Saber stood up again, staring at the Berserker before her, ready to receive another heavy blow.]
[CLANG! With a resonating sound, Saber was knocked down again, rolling on the ground several times. Her blood stained the road, her cheeks, and her armor.]
[With perseverance that came from nowhere, Saber slowly climbed up again. The blood on her forehead kept dripping down, and her figure looked unsteady.]
[Sure enough, Berserker swung his axe-sword again, sweeping towards Saber.]
["You, bastard!!!" Emiya Shirou suddenly shouted at that moment. Unarmed, he ran towards Saber with all his might, leaping into the air, obviously trying to push Saber out of the way.]
[However, the next second, the axe-sword slashed directly at Emiya Shirou's waist!]
[Swish! Bright red instantly spread across the entire screen. Shirou let out a hysterical scream, and then was cut in half... The scream vanished instantly.]
