Although Rin had figured out the situation of Jalter's summoning, she still had questions plaguing her.
'What exactly was the situation of Jalter's birth? If Jalter is truly a member of the Throne of Heroes, then it proves my creation plan succeeded, at least the first half. But is this timeline reliable? Or did the Singularity, after we left, enter a quantum state and become hidden without proper human history observation? And why did Black Saber appear in this world?…'
The more Rin thought, the more questions arose, and she cried out in exasperation.
"Forget it, I don't care anymore! The boat will naturally straighten itself when it reaches the bridge!"

"god ra is protecting us, stop her!"
Several Egyptian soldiers, holding their scimitars, took firm steps and swung their scimitars at Black Saber.
A chilling sword light cut through the air. These few Egyptian soldiers only felt a flash at their necks, followed by their vision spinning.
"Is that my body?"
The headless bodies, still propelled by inertia, stubbornly approached Black Saber a few steps, then blood bloomed from their necks like fireworks, and they soon fell to the ground.
Black Saber raised Excalibur in her hand and performed a knight's salute to the corpses of the Egyptian soldiers on the ground. Then, she scanned the city wall, and after confirming that there were no other standing creatures on the wall besides herself, she turned her head to look below the city.
Below the city, thousands of Egyptian soldiers were locked in a fierce battle with Black Saber's Royal Knights, and it seemed it would take a while to determine the victor.
Black Saber pouted in dissatisfaction, but she also knew that facing enemies several times their number, it was already quite good for these human Knights to fight to a stalemate.
Boom!
A figure, silver and red, slammed heavily into the city wall next to Black Saber, kicking up a large amount of rubble.
"Arthur?"
Black Saber calmly looked at the familiar figure in front of her, tapping the ground with the tip of her sword.
"Mordred, why do you not kneel before your King? Do you wish to rebel again!"
After Black Saber finished speaking, magic power surged around her again, causing the air to become agitated.
"This form! Hahahahaha, you—I don't acknowledge it!"
Mordred's face showed a wild smile, and the greatsword in her hand, like a meteor, directly slashed towards Black Saber.
Black Saber effortlessly dodged Mordred's slash, and at the same time, she thrust her knee upward. Her holy sword in her right hand flipped, and both the sword and her knee struck Mordred's stomach and back heavily.
Mordred, as if struck by lightning, spat out a large mouthful of blood, clutching her shattered armor over her stomach in disbelief, staggering back a few steps from Black Saber.
Black Saber let out a contemptuous snort, standing still and speaking to Mordred, who could barely stand.
"Is this all you amount to? Is the trash created by that bitch Morgan using my bloodline only this weak? I might as well kill you!"
Black Saber walked up to Mordred, extended her left hand to grab Mordred's hair, and slowly plunged Excalibur into Mordred's abdomen.
"Wah!"
Mordred, her entire abdomen pierced, vomited a large mouthful of blood. With blurred consciousness, she weakly looked up and said to Black Saber.
"Monster!"
Black Saber's expression changed, a hint of cruelty in her eyes, as she slowly twisted the hilt of Excalibur in her hand, causing Mordred to let out a tragic scream as if in a final burst of life.
"Ahhh~!"
"Let go of Mordred! avalon!"
At this moment, Lily, who had caught up to Mordred and rushed onto the city wall, quickly threw out avalon, protecting Mordred and forcing Black Saber back.
Black Saber looked with interest at Lily, who was nervously protecting Mordred with a golden sword in one hand and Excalibur in the other, and a very strange smile spread across her lips.
"Different, are we? Your Excalibur is quite interesting!"
"I am Artoria, still undergoing my kingly training!"
"Another naive me?"
With that, Black Saber suddenly accelerated and appeared before Lily, gripping Excalibur tightly with both hands, and with an upward slash, she tossed Lily into the air.
"Bang!"
Black Saber's steel battle boot made intimate contact with Lily's chest as she was flung into mid-air. Lily, as if struck by a heavily loaded truck, was sent flying over 10 meters with a crash, slamming heavily into the city wall and collapsing a section of it.
"Father!"
Mordred, whose consciousness had slightly recovered thanks to avalon's self-healing properties, looked at Lily, who had been kicked away, let out a roar of fury, struggled to her feet, raised Clarent, and activated her Noble Phantasm.
"Rebellion Against My Magnificent Father!"
"Hmph! Ridiculous!"
Facing Mordred's extremely weak attack, Black Saber's magic power instantly erupted in vast quantities, and the magic power surrounding her body blew away the incoming red lightning. At the same time, she swung Excalibur with full force at the avalon shield in front of Mordred.
Even with avalon's protection, the immense kinetic energy still sent Mordred flying like a baseball, causing her to crash right into Lily, who had just climbed out of the rubble, and they rolled into a heap.
Looking at Mordred, who had withstood her full-power attack with avalon, Black Saber spoke unhappily.
"Troublesome thing! EXcalibur~!"
Seeing the torrent of magic power erupting from Black Saber's Noble Phantasm, Lily and Mordred's expressions changed, and they simultaneously looked towards avalon.
"Father!"
"avalon! Protect Mordred!"
Knowing that avalon could only protect one person, both sides wanted avalon to protect the other, but in the end, avalon prioritized Lily's command, unfolding a barrier in front of Mordred, while Lily, propped on her golden sword, calmly prepared to face death.
"My Lord is here!"
"Ah~!"
Just at this critical moment, Jeanne and the others sent by Rin finally arrived in time. Mash, holding a giant shield, appeared in front of Lily with determined eyes, shouting as she unfolded her shield.
At the same time, Jeanne also unleashed her Noble Phantasm. A sacred barrier unfolded around Jeanne, enveloping Mordred, Lily, and Mash, converting her EX-rank magic resistance into defense against physical attacks.
With Jeanne's Noble Phantasm and Mash's efforts, Black Saber's unleashed Noble Phantasm was deflected, flying diagonally an unknown distance before a violent explosion occurred.
Mash, who had just blocked the attack, quickly turned her head and shouted towards the sky.
"King of Conquerors!"
"Alalalalala~! Far-reaching Ravage Domination!"
King of Conquerors, hiding in the clouds, roared excitedly as he burst out like a comet, gripping the reins of his chariot and crashing into Black Saber with thunder.
At the same time, Dion, seemingly out of nowhere, leapt onto the city wall and unleashed his Noble Phantasm, scattering Lily petals, symbols of France, all around. Within this flurry, he performed an exquisite sword dance to mesmerize his opponent, reducing their Strength, Endurance, and Agility stats, then seizing the opening to deliver a fatal sword strike.
This was Dion's Noble Phantasm, Sword Dance of Scattered Lilies!
