“……Rider？”
Luo Men cried out in surprise when he saw the shooting star in the sky.
He didn't show any mercy when he punched Rider, so she must have been severely injured. But even so, she still forcefully used her Treasured Artifact.
Luo Men didn't understand why she was risking her life to this extent. On the other side, Caster gritted his teeth.
"That woman! I let her stay on the mountain because she said she had no hostility…Lord Soichiro, it's time for us to leave!”
"Wait, Caster."
Roman raised his hand, and numerous lightning spears appeared behind him, all aimed at Caster.
Rider's relic was about to arrive, and Caster knew that it would be a large-scale attack that would send the entire mountain flying. Now was not the time to deal with Roman.
Thus, this was the best opportunity for Luo Men:
"Caster, let go of Saber. If that's the case, I'll let you go and protect Liudong Temple from being destroyed. There's no harm to you, right?"
"…Why should I believe you?”
"Because if you don't believe me, we will all die here.”
Roman fired a bolt of lightning at Caster's feet. This was to tell her that he was not joking. Rider's magic power was getting more and more concentrated in the sky. There was no time for her to hesitate.
The black-robed witch gritted her teeth and told Geki Soichiro to let go of Saber. She released Saber's string and pushed her towards Asura.
Luo Men heaved a sigh of relief and went forward to support Saber.
"-Woo!"
At that moment, Caster stabbed Saber's back with his dagger. Saber let out a mournful cry, and the magic power on his body quickly faded away.
Saber's armor disappeared instantly, and he fell limply into Luo Men's arms, like a puppet that had lost its strings.
“Caster！”
"Hmph, I returned her to you.”
Caster revealed a smile as if his scheme had succeeded. He then used his large cloak to cover Suichiro. Luo Men immediately fired his lightning spear, but it only hit her phantom.
She used the teleportation spell that she had prepared beforehand to escape with Master.
This demoness didn't trust Luo Sect at all, nor did she care about the lives of the people of Liudong Temple. To her, it would be best if Roman and Saber died here. Even Luo Men didn't expect his personality to be so bad.
At this moment, Ling and Shiro climbed up the stone steps and rushed over while shouting their names.
Luo Men didn't respond to them, but frowned and stared at Rider in the sky.
“--Rider! Why must you kill me? Tell me the reason!"
“……”
Rider remained silent in the sky as he rode his pegasus down. The dazzling golden light transformed into a line, moving at a speed of over 300 yards per hour.
"Thunder of Judgement!"
Roman, who was holding Saber in his arms, immediately extended his right hand. Dazzling lightning gathered and shot out.
Boom!
A ferocious magic vortex swept through the surroundings the moment Pegasus and the lightning came into contact. Ling and Ayamiya Shiro fell to the ground, unable to breathe as if they were in a hurricane.
Luo Men and Rider were in a stalemate. However, if this continued, Ling and the others would die in less than a minute. Rider's Pegasus was also roaring, ignoring its burnt wings as it charged forward.
At this moment, Luo Men suddenly understood what Rider was doing. Everything she did was in the hope that he would kill her, so in the end, she deliberately used such an obvious Treasured Artifact to hit him.
"That's why women are so ridiculous!”
Rider had no intention of stopping. If this continued, Ling would die very soon. Luo Men had no other choice. He roared and increased the output of his magic power. The lightning in his right hand instantly enveloped the Pegasus.
“……”
Under the destructive lightning attack, Rider revealed a faint smile, and his slender body disappeared in an instant.
After burning the Pegasus to ashes, the lightning beam broke through the clouds and lit up the sky. There were no traces of Rider's existence left.
It was as if nothing had happened at Liudong Temple. It was so calm that it was funny. After all that had happened, the monks in the temple still hadn't come out. It seemed like Caster had put them under a sleeping spell or something.
"Oh…"
After a while, Ling, who had recovered from the chaotic flow of magic power, stood up while shaking his head.
"Luo…Luo Men? What's the situation now?"
She frowned as she looked at Saber in Roman's arms. Saber was unbelievably weak, and his mana was very weak. It felt like a Heroic Spirit had turned into a spirit.
Luo Men speechlessly picked up Saber and looked at Ling and the pale-faced scholar.
"Anyway, let's go back first.”
===================================================
Half an hour later, the four of them returned to Wei Gong's house. Luo Men asked Shi Lang to prepare the bedding and let Saber, who had a high fever, lie down in the room. After that, the three of them returned to the living room.
Luo Men briefly explained the situation at Liudong Temple to them.
He told them that Assassin (Kojiro) was guarding the gate of Yanagi Toji Temple, that Rider's sudden attack, and that Caster's Master was a teacher at Hogunhara Academy.
By the way, it was only at this moment that Ling recalled the existence of Shinji Makirito. When they left Liudong Temple, that guy was no longer at the door. He probably ran away on his own.
However, these were all small matters. Luo Men had no interest in that clown. The main point was:
"Saber was stabbed by Caster's relic, and his contract with Master has been canceled. Emiya Shiro, you can feel it, right?”
Luo Men turned to Shi Lang and nodded heavily.
Although he was a half-baked master who couldn't even provide magic to Saber, he still had a connection through the command spell, but it was now broken.
Normally, as long as he and Saber re-establish their contract, they would be able to restore their relationship…But Roman sighed softly.
"I'm sorry that Saber got into this situation because of my suggestion. Saber's mana is very low right now. Even if you re-contract with her, you'll probably die very quickly.”
"…No, I should apologize for my immaturity.”
Emiya Shiro lowered his head deeply. If Ling and Luo Men weren't here, he would have died several times already. Therefore, it was his own fault that he couldn't save Saber this time.
However, he still had to think of a solution. To sign a contract with a heroic spirit, one needed a command spell. If Shiro could not do it, he could only ask him to give the command spell to someone else or find someone else who had the command spell. Therefore, Ling raised a finger and suggested,"
"In that case, Emiya-san, let me sign a contract with Saber first. Although I had never seen a Master with two Heroic Spirits, I swore that I would never use Saber as a sacrifice. In the future, it's up to her to decide whether she wants to terminate the contract with me. What do you think?”
" Wait, Ling, do you think you can sustain the power consumption of two heroic spirits?”
Luo Men immediately rejected this suggestion.
Luo Men could feel that the magic power he had consumed in the battle at Liudong Temple had completely emptied Ling. Even though she was holding on, she should be in a rather weak state. She couldn't bear the burden of Saber.
Thus, Luo Men took a deep breath and prepared himself for being scolded by her.
"Let Saber be mine.”
