From the performance of Matou Kariya after he discovered him, Emiya Kiritsugu felt that Matou Kariya had no awareness of being a participant in the Holy Grail War.

If Emiya Kiritsugu and Matou Kariya were swapped, after discovering that he was exposed, Emiya Kiritsugu would definitely choose to use the Command Spell to summon Saber to his side to protect himself.

And what about Matou Kariya?

After being exposed, he was just like an ordinary person, not very vigilant about his appearance.

If he shot Matou Kariya at this time...

Such a thought flashed through Emiya Kiritsugu's mind.

But soon, Emiya Kiritsugu threw this tempting idea out of his mind.

Before defeating Archer, the existence of Berserker is necessary.

In this Holy Grail War, apart from Berserker, Emiya Kiritsugu didn't know which other Servant could resist Archer.

In addition, Matou Kariya's naive behavior is definitely the most suitable ally for Emiya Kiritsugu.

After defeating Archer and forcing Tohsaka Tokiomi to leave the stage, it would take less than three seconds for Emiya Kiritsugu to feel that he could kill Matō Kariya several times.

"Don't be nervous, Lord Kariya."

"I have no ill will towards you."

In order to show that he really had no ill will towards Matō Kariya, Emiya Kiritsugu put the pistol on his waist on the ground in front of Matō Kariya and raised his hands high.

"Who are you?"

Seeing Emiya Kiritsugu's actions, Matō Kariya felt a little relieved and asked again.

"Lord Kariya, I am Saber Master Irisviel's husband, Emiya Kiritsugu."

At this time, Emiya Kiritsugu still had no intention of exposing himself.

And because Emiya Kiritsugu was wearing a black leather glove that exposed his fingertips, the Command Seal on the back of his right hand was covered.

"Saber Master's husband?"

Matō Kariya glanced at Emiya Kiritsugu, then at Saber who was fighting with Ayrin, and stepped back a few steps belatedly, and stopped only when his back hit the wall of the balcony.

Perhaps it was because of Kiritsugu Emiya's previous act of putting the pistol on the ground that made Kiritsugu Matou have some trust in Kiritsugu Emiya.

However, even so, Kiritsugu Matou's body was bulging with visible bumps, and something could be seen swimming inside Kiritsugu.

This was Kiritsugu awakening the imprinted insects in his body, allowing him to use insect magic to fight Kiritsugu Emiya at any time.

"Tell me, Saber's husband, what do you want to say to me?"

"Sir Kariya, I am here to form an alliance with you on behalf of my wife Irisviel."

Since the decision had been made, Kiritsugu Emiya naturally abandoned the murderous intent he had for Berserker and Kiritsugu because of Maiya's death.

In other words, before letting Archer leave, Kiritsugu Emiya would hide his murderous intent well.

Only after Archer was killed would it be the time for him to take revenge on Berserker and Kiritsugu Matou.

It is undeniable that Berserker is indeed very powerful.

But with Saber's current performance, it is not impossible to delay Berserker for a while.

This time is enough for him to kill Matou Kariya several times.

Without the magic power provided by the Master, Berserker would not be able to wander around in the world at all. He would be sent back to the Hall of Heroes after his magic power was exhausted.

"Alliance?"

Matou Kariya was stunned for a moment, but then he suddenly realized.

In the Holy Grail War, the winner can make a wish with the Holy Grail first.

Not only the Heroic Spirits have wishes that need to be fulfilled, but also the magicians who come to participate in the Holy Grail War have wishes that they want to realize.

Since it is in the name of "war", it is normal for the weak to form an alliance to fight against the strong in the battle.

However, Matou Kariya shook his head and rejected Emiya Kiritsugu.

"I'm sorry, Berserker and I have no intention of forming an alliance with anyone."

"Please leave."

"Otherwise, I will attack you immediately."

"Since you are the husband of Master Saber, you should know that in front of a magician, ordinary people like you, even if you have a gun in your hand, are of no use at all."

If it is said that before killing Matou Zouken and before he knew that his physical condition could be healed by Berserker, Matou Kariya did have expectations for the Holy Grail.

But now, Matou Kariya feels that his wish has been fulfilled by Berserker for him.

The reason why he did not let Berserker restore his body now is because if he recovers, there will be no magic power to maintain Berserker's existence and fighting.

Although Berserker is so powerful in the battle with Saber and Lancer now, only Matou Kariya knows that Berserker's current battle is just using A++ level kendo to fight, which is not Berserker's true strength.

After all, if Berserker uses magic power, magic power will also be consumed on his side.

Although they had only been together for two short days, Matou Kariya felt that if necessary, he would let the Crest Worm in his body devour more of his flesh and blood to transform it into magic power to support Berserker in battle.

At that time, Berserker's strongest state would be enough for Berserker to defeat all Servants and obtain the Holy Grail.

When he was absolutely sure of winning, Matou Kariya did not want to form an alliance with anyone to tie his hands and feet.

He might even have to guard against allies who might stab him in the back at any time.

Moreover, even if he wanted to form an alliance, Matou Kariya would not agree privately, but would seek Ailin's opinion.

Matou Kariya would only agree if Berserker agreed to the alliance.

"Rejected?"

Matou Kariya's refusal was beyond Emiya Kiritsugu's expectations.

He did not expect that Matou Kariya would actually refuse to form an alliance with him.

This gave Emiya Kiritsugu a bad feeling.

There are only two possibilities for refusing the alliance.

One possibility is that Matou Kariya thinks Saber is too weak to be worthy of an alliance with him.

The other possibility is that Matou Kariya has absolute confidence in his Servant.

Even though he saw some of Archer's strength last night, he still felt that Berserker was sure to defeat Archer and win the Holy Grail.

Now, Emiya Kiritsugu can only hope that Matou Kariya's unwillingness to form an alliance is the first reason.

Otherwise, he would have to kill Matou Kariya here and make the Berserker team withdraw.

But in that case, what should he do when he meets Archer?

Archer's Master, Emiya Kiritsugu, learned from the information of the Einzbern family that he is one of the "Three Great Families" who created the Greater Holy Grail together with the Einzbern and Matou families.

The so-called "Three Great Families" refers to the three families that created the "Holy Grail" together hundreds of years ago.

Among them, the Tosaka family, the administrator of Fuyuki City, provided the ground veins of Fuyuki City, allowing the Greater Holy Grail to connect to the "Hall of Valor" by absorbing the magic power in the ground veins.

The Einzbern family used the "Winter Saint" Yustiza as a container and made it into the "Great Holy Grail" that can connect to the Hall of Heroes with huge magic power.

The ancestor of the Matou family, March Zorgen, who has now changed his name to Matou Zouken, engraved magic that can summon the clones of the Heroic Spirits inside the Great Holy Grail and created the "Command Spell" that can forcibly control the Servants.

As the host of Fuyuki City, the head of the Tousaka family of this generation, Tousaka Tokiomi, will never leave the Tousaka House during the Holy Grail War.

After hundreds of years of operation by the Tousaka family, the Tousaka House is full of countless traps.

Didn't you see that one of Assassin Hassan's clones encountered many traps when entering the courtyard of the Tousaka family last night.

Even so, Tousaka Tokiomi wanted to show the power of the Hero King Gilgamesh and closed many traps.

Otherwise, even if Hassan's clones have abilities that are incomparable to humans, it would be difficult to invade the Tousaka family.

Anyway, Emiya Kiritsugu didn't think he could invade the Tohsaka family and kill Tohsaka Tokiomi.

If he wanted to make Tohsaka Tokiomi leave, he had to defeat Archer head-on.

"Sir Kariya, please don't reject me so quickly."

"It is undeniable that your Berserker is indeed very strong, but you should have felt it from yesterday's battle, right?"

"In this Holy Grail War, the strongest Servant is undoubtedly Tohsaka Tokiomi's Archer."

"Saber on our side, although judging from her performance in the current battle, is indeed much weaker than Berserker."

"But, Sir Kariya, Saber's true identity is King Arthur of Great Britain, and her Noble Phantasm is A++."

"The Noble Phantasm accounts for the vast majority of a Servant's strength."

"If Saber releases her Noble Phantasm, how can your Berserker deal with it?"

"A++?"

Hearing what Emiya Kiritsugu said, Matō Kariya was secretly shocked.

If he hadn't seen the level of Berserker's inherent barrier, he would probably have been frightened by the A++ level Noble Phantasm.

But now, Berserker has an Ex level Noble Phantasm, and the A++ Noble Phantasm is not enough to make Matou Kariya change color.

Of course, Matou Kariya also knows that if the power of the A++ level Noble Phantasm attacks Berserker, it will be enough to cause fatal injuries to Berserker.

Seeing Matou Kariya's expression, Emiya Kiritsugu's heart sank.

After hearing about the A++ level Noble Phantasm, Matou Kariya's expression did not change much, which proves that Berserker should also have an A++ level Noble Phantasm.

Otherwise, Matou Kariya would not be so calm.

However, although the threat of Berserker in his heart increased significantly, Emiya Kiritsugu remained calm and continued to say to Matou Kariya: "Sir Kariya, I also saw the battle between Berserker and Archer last night."

"As long as Berserker can hold out against Archer, Saber can release the Noble Phantasm and defeat Archer with one blow, forcing Tōsaka Tokiomi to leave the field."

Originally, after knowing Saber's trump card, Matou Kariya was not interested in forming an alliance with Emiya Kiritsugu, but when Emiya Kiritsugu said the name of Tōsaka Tokiomi, Matou Kariya's heart trembled.

Yes, how could he forget that he was the culprit who caused Sakura to suffer torture and transformation by Matou Zouken in the Matou family, but he has not learned his lesson yet.

I think if this guy is allowed to enjoy the defeat of the Holy Grail War, it will be a big enough blow to him, right?

If this is not enough, let Berserker let go a little during the battle. If he is injured or killed by the battle between the two Servants, it will be even more refreshing.

Thinking of this, Matou Kariya did not reject Emiya Kiritsugu at the first time.

"I know, I will consider your suggestion."

Although Matou Kariya's heart is already inclined to form an alliance with Saber, he still needs to discuss it with Berserker.

If Berserker feels that joining forces with other Servants is beneath his dignity, then although he will feel regretful, Matō Kariya will not let Berserker feel that his reputation is tarnished because of his own evil thoughts.

Hearing Matō Kariya's answer, Emiya Kiritsugu narrowed his eyes slightly.

He had said so much before, and Matō Kariya's attitude was very tough.

But after he said the man's name, Matō Kariya's attitude changed.

It seems that there is an intersection between Matō Kariya and Tōsaka Tokiomi that he doesn't know about.

After returning today, I will check it carefully to see what happened between Matō Kariya and Tōsaka Tokiomi.

Perhaps, this will be the best breakthrough for me to completely impress Matō Kariya and form an alliance with me.

"Shua!"

Ailin slashed with a sword, and Artoria turned sideways. Suddenly, a slash of dozens of meters long passed in front of Artoria, cutting the ground and extending a hundred meters into the sea.

"Swish!"

Diarmuid leaned back, and the slashing blow whizzed through the wound on the tip of Diarmuid's nose, directly cutting the container behind Diarmuid in half.

After analyzing the treasures of Altria and Diarmuid, Aylin's understanding of Altria and Diarmuid was no less than their own.

Under such circumstances, Aylin's two Zanpakuto easily suppressed Altria and Diarmuid.

Under the strength of each slash of Aylin, which was comparable to Altria's "Wind King Hammer", Altria and Diarmuid were beaten by Aylin without temper.

For a long time, both Diarmuid and Altria felt that their martial arts had been tempered by countless wars and had reached the pinnacle of perfection.

After becoming a heroic spirit, they were blessed by countless legends, which sublimated their martial arts to a higher level.

Mind and intuition are the products of their own characteristics sublimated.

But in front of Erin, they know what kind of swordsmanship can be called "the pinnacle".

Without the sublimated mind and intuition, they simply could not last so long under Erin's attack.

But even so, they also feel that if there is no accident, perhaps tonight will be their time to leave.

However, being able to fight with a swordsman like Erin, they also feel that they are right to participate in the Holy Grail War this time!

"No, no..."

On the Xindu Weiyuan River Bridge, Iskandar, who was dressed in a red flag, suddenly stood up from the steel frame of the bridge.

"What's wrong, Rider?"

After seeing Iskandar's actions, Weber asked in confusion.

Although Weber is a magician, his eyesight is no different from that of ordinary people.

And he himself does not have any magic to increase his eyesight.

Therefore, from this bridge, Weber can't see the battle happening in the distant port at all.

What he could see was one powerful slash after another that shattered the containers at the port, or even slashed the sea.

That terrifying power made Waver's face turn pale with fear.

Could his Servant withstand such a powerful attack?

If even Rider was defeated, would he be killed by the Master of this powerful Servant? (End of this chapter)
