Chapter 63 Artoria
Leaving Einzbern's castle, Dun, Illya and Bazett rushed towards the Holy Church that was destroyed a week ago.
Because of Emiya Shirou's special characteristics, Illya specially sent a white crane knight to monitor him. Unexpectedly, he actually became the master of the last servant.
Emiya Shirou, who summoned Saber, successfully fought off Cu Chulainn, and as soon as he went out, he bumped into Red A and Tohsaka Rin, who had previously fought Cu Chulainn in the school.
Now, Emiya Shirou and Tohsaka Rin, who have temporarily stopped fighting, are heading to the church where Kotomine Kirei is.
Regardless of the small actions behind Kotomine Kirei's back, at least on the surface, he is still an absolutely neutral monitor of the Holy Grail War.
Now that Gilgamesh has retired, only Cú Chulainn, the riding servant, is left, and it is difficult for Kotomine Kirei to do anything big.
However, one cannot be careless, so Du En specially brought Bazett with him.
Bazett should be able to protect Ilia while he fights enemy servants.
However, even though the church had been destroyed by the battle between Dun and Gilgamesh, Kotomine Kirei did not leave there.
When Du En saw the ruins, the isolation zone surrounding it, and the tent in the isolation zone, Du En burst out laughing.
"Pfft, haha, you actually live in a tent? You really have the style of that priest."
Apart from anything else, at least in terms of pretense, Kotomine Kirei can be said to be at the level of an actor, otherwise he would not have survived to the end in the Fourth Holy Grail War.
Seeing the three figures in the tent, Bazett beside Du En couldn't help clenching his fists, and his severed arm seemed to still be in pain.
He did not act rashly. Since he had promised Duen to protect Illya, Bazett would work hard to carry it out, just like the Celtic warriors in ancient times.
That's why Bazett summoned Cu Chulainn, not only because she was a descendant of the Red Branch Knights where Cu Chulainn was alive, but also because she had a very similar personality to Cu Chulainn.
If Bazett and Cu Chulainn were paired together, they would definitely be among the top three masters in terms of hard power.
Emiya Shirou and Tohsaka Rin were faster than Duen and the others, and entered the church about five minutes ago. There were two servants staying outside, one of whom was the archer Duen met and fought yesterday.
Although the archer turned into a spirit child and lurked in the cemetery in front of the church, he was not an assassin, so how could he hide it from Du En's eyes.
The other servant, the moment Du En, Illya, and Bazett appeared, he stared at them intently.
Regardless of the Holy Grail War, if the influence of the Master's magic power is excluded, the Saber class servant must be the strongest among the Seven Horsemen.
Standing outside the isolation zone, wearing a yellow raincoat, a servant with the rank of saber looked at Dun and others without saying a word.
Hidden under the hood is a face as white as snow, even without the rouge, it is very handsome and beautiful.
With blond hair and a pair of green eyes, the beautiful girl stood in front of Duen, Illya, and Bazett like a resolute knight.
Seeing this blond girl with blue eyes, Illya's expression rarely changed.
"Do you remember? Einzbern!"
She subconsciously asked this question, but in the next second, Illya denied it herself.
"No, even if it is the same Heroic Spirit, it is impossible to remember what happened before. In the final analysis, servants are just clones of the Heroic Spirit. As long as they return to the Heroic Spirit Seat, they will forget everything."
That's what he said, but Du En knew that the girl in front of him was different.
Artoria Pendragon, this is the girl's real name. Compared with her real name, perhaps another name is more widely known.
Arthur Pendragon, the most legendary king in Britain, the protagonist of the Arthurian legend, and the leader of the Knights of the Round Table.
King Arthur is a well-known legendary figure in Britain, Europe, and even the world, and his popularity is even as good as Hercules, the great hero in Greek mythology.
Unlike Cú Chulainn, who is only well-known in Europe, even in this country in the Far East, the legend of King Arthur can be heard. King Arthur's stories and picture books are also widely circulated around the world in different ways.
For heroic spirits, their strength during life is important, but their reputation after death is also a part that cannot be ignored.
If two heroic spirits with the same strength in life appeared as servants at the same time, the winner would most likely be the one with the highest reputation.
Moreover, this is not the first time that King Arthur has appeared in the Holy Grail War. In the Fourth Holy Grail War ten years ago, Arturia was summoned as a servant of Einzbern.
With such a powerful heroic spirit, victory should be guaranteed.
Unfortunately, due to personality differences, Artoria was unable to advance together with her Master, Emiya Kiritsugu.
Moreover, in the end, Emiya Kiritsugu, who was supposed to win the Holy Grail War, did not make a wish with the Holy Grail, but ordered Artoria to destroy the Holy Grail with a Command Seal.
Therefore, neither the Einzberns nor Artoria were able to obtain the Holy Grail and realize their wishes.
Because of this incident, Emiya Kiritsugu was called a traitor and was always rejected and hated by Einzbern.
This hatred even spread to Illya, the daughter of Emiya Kiritsugu.
In this Holy Grail War, in addition to Gilgamesh, if there is another opponent that Dun can call a strong enemy, then the only one in front of him is the King of Knights.
However, Illya was wrong about one thing.
Although it was the second time she was summoned and ten years had passed since the Fourth Holy Grail War, Artoria still remembered what happened ten years ago and her memory was not erased by the Holy Grail.
Because Artoria is different from ordinary heroic spirits. In essence, she is in a similar state to Duen.
Artoria's body did not actually die, but stayed in the moment before death.
The Holy Grail only helped Artoria build a complete body, but she only had one consciousness.
Therefore, even if Arturia withdraws from the Fourth Holy Grail War, she will still remember what happened in the Holy Grail War.
However, when faced with Illya's question, Artoria did not answer, but assumed a hostile posture.
No matter what happened in the past, the fact that they are enemies now will not change.
"He who comes is stopped!"
The invisible long sword was held in the girl's hand, pointing directly at Duen and the others.
