Chapter 453

Waver: "Sure enough, in the end, we still have to decide the winner with a Noble Phantasm."

Astolfo: "Who won?"

Siegfried: "Can't tell, have to wait for the smoke to clear, but..."

Xiang Junior Feng Xi: "Both sides are evenly matched, but Mordred has the blessing of a Command Spell and a Master as backup; I'm afraid Sieg can't compete with her."

Astolfo: "Ah! No way!"

Rin Tohsaka: "What are you panicking about? Haven't we already known that this battle will be interrupted?"

Astolfo: "Ah, right."

【The earth was plowed flat, dust rose, and after the smoke cleared, Sieg was seen kneeling on one knee, while Mordred was jumping with anger.】

【In the contest of Noble Phantasms, Mordred had the upper hand, but she was clearly dissatisfied.】

【"You guy, why are you still alive!"】

【She was actually evenly matched with a fake; this was simply a great humiliation in Mordred's heart.】

【And she had the blessing of a Command Spell, which made her even more angry.】

【"I'm going to kill you, Black Saber, stay there and don't move!"】

【Mordred walked over violently, intending to Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take Sieg's head.】

Xiang Junior Feng Xi: "Sure enough."

Siegfried: "Looking at Sieg, although he hasn't returned to his original form, he has no strength to fight anymore."

Waver: "Although the battle was interrupted, strictly speaking, Mordred still won."

Mordred: "Hmph, a mere fake, how could he be my opponent."

【On the other Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side, the Hanging Gardens, a few minutes ago.】

【Kirei Kotomine, who had returned, was watching the battle with Semiramis and Shakespeare.】

【Semiramis: "Hehe, Master, is this situation also in your calculations?"】

【Kirei Kotomine didn't answer, just watched the monitor with a very grave expression.】

【Shakespeare: "What, what, the Black Saber has actually resurrected! Oh my, this is a great miracle that even a saint would be startled by! It's simply 'to hell with magic or whatever'!"】

【Kirei Kotomine: "No, that's not a resurrection; how should I put it, it's similar to possession."】

【Shakespeare: "You said possession?"】

【"Among Servants, there are types that can have a strong influence on the Master's body."】

【Kirei Kotomine explained: "Usually, the relationship between a Master and a Servant is the same as that between a master and a familiar, but there are also Servants who possess skills that allow them to share a body with the Master. In this case, the Master becomes an existence close to immortal. Of course, that is only for the short duration of the Holy Grail War."】

【"More importantly, it doesn't bring about an improvement in combat ability, so it can only be used as a countermeasure against Assassin."】

Waver: "This is the first time I've heard of this theory."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "I haven't heard of it either. Kirei Kotomine, where did you learn this theory?"

Kirei Kotomine: "This, it can be considered my own research."

Rin Tohsaka: "This situation sounds a bit familiar."

Waver: "It's not familiar; isn't there an example in the group right now?"

Rin Tohsaka: "Ah! Right, it's Jeanne!"】

Jeanne and Laeticia are now somewhat similar to Kirei Kotomine's theory, but there are still some differences.

【Semiramis: "Wait a minute, even from my point of view, that's not the case at all. That guy is not a Master; he is undoubtedly a Servant."】

【Kirei Kotomine: "That's why I said it was possession; it's probably summoning the Black Saber through the massive magic power of a Command Spell."】

【"Of course, even with a Command Spell, it's impossible to do this under normal circumstances; that homunculus is an exception; he carries something related to the Black Saber on him."】

【"Only, although I don't know if it's a part of the body or a catalyst, in short, he uses that as a medium to let Saber descend onto his own body."】
