Chapter 469
The scene was suddenly chaotic.
"Archer, Lancer, Rider, if possible, I hope you will participate in the battle."
Amakusa Shirou looked at the Red trio and said: "I wonder if the two of you are not allowing yourselves to do this because of the dignity of Heroic Spirits? Lancer, what do you intend to do?"
"... I have no interest in accusing others of despicable behavior. If I must take action here, I will do so."
Karna stared at the door and said: "But Priest, I'm afraid this wish of yours cannot be realized."
Outside the door, a crimson lightning bolt rushed in, directly hacking several golems to pieces.
Needless to say, it was Mordred.
Rin Tohsaka: "Oh my, this is somewhat unexpected."
Amakusa Shirou: "It seems we have still reached opposite sides, Saber team."
Mordred: "You guy, aren't you just talking nonsense?"
Shishigou Kairi: "Shirou, don't forget, you were the one who started it. If I hadn't been more vigilant, I'm afraid I would have met the same fate by now."
"So that's how it is."
Amakusa Shirou smiled, because Mordred wasn't wearing her helmet, and he had already seen her data.
"Red Saber, so it was you. The Knight of Treachery, Mordred, who ended the glorious legend of King Arthur."
Mordred: "Hmph! Stop shouting my name around here!"
Semiramis: "Saber, do you intend to betray us!"
Mordred: "Are you an idiot? It's not us who betrayed! Didn't you use treacherous schemes earlier to try and kill my Master! From that moment on, you became my enemies!"
Mordred didn't hold back, slashing down with her sword; the powerful sword energy split the entire hall in two, directly separating Amakusa Shirou and Jeanne's sides.
Immediately, two smoke bombs were thrown in, turning the hall into a 'fairyland', and Jeanne and the others took the opportunity to escape.
Semiramis: "Hmph, it seems you aren't stupid either."
Shishigou Kairi: "Miss, I'm a bounty hunter; if my brain wasn't working well, I would have died somewhere long ago."
The opponent's forces were strong, so naturally, retreating first was the best policy. As for why they risked saving Jeanne and the others, it was naturally to keep a few future allies.
The enemy of an enemy is a friend, right?
When the smoke cleared, before Amakusa Shirou could even speak, Avicebron volunteered to take the golems to chase after Jeanne and the others.
But not long after Avicebron chased them out, he contacted Roche via magic. Roche, unaware of the situation, followed the other party's request and went to the basement to bring out the 'core' of the other party.
Rin Tohsaka: "Good grief, a spy within a spy."
Waver: "Core? What exactly does this guy Avicebron want to do?"
After Jeanne and the others escaped the palace, Mordred left directly, while Jeanne followed Chiron toward the edge of the Hanging Gardens, preparing to return to the Yggdmillennia castle.
The Black Faction suffered heavy losses in this battle, and Jeanne also had to deal with Amakusa Shirou, so both sides intended to form an alliance.
Of course, the cooperation was only Chiron's wish for now; he would still have to convince the others later.
Chiron didn't know yet that the Black Faction was now left with only him as a lone survivor.
And Jeanne wanted to deal with Amakusa Shirou, not just because the other party wanted to kill her.
Amakusa Shirou said he wanted to save all of humanity, but Jeanne could feel that what he wanted to do was very terrifying.
Jeanne: "Amakusa Shirou, what wish do you want to realize using the Holy Grail?"
Amakusa Shirou: "This question, let's wait until I get the Holy Grail. Or you can wait a few days; I think you'll be able to see the end in a few days."
On Mordred's side, this guy jumped directly from the Hanging Gardens with Shishigou, making Shishigou think he was almost dead.
Avicebron, who was in hot pursuit, also returned to the ground riding a golem, but he didn't continue the pursuit, instead going to rendezvous with Roche.
Roche had been waiting for a long time with the 'core', which was a huge barrel-shaped key.
He was very excited because he had already guessed what Avicebron was going to do.
The other party was preparing to use their Noble Phantasm to summon that golem, the work that Avicebron and he had secretly created in their spare time.
