It was already noon when they returned to Ainsbern's castle. Since the first day of the Holy Grail War, they had been fighting every day, and today was no exception.
Asker was prepared to completely finish off Gilgamesh tonight.
He had let him off the last time because his trump card, the Guai Li Sword, had given Aske a huge surprise. Aske had also not expected Gilgamesh to have such a powerful weapon.
Although he could use the high-speed particle cannon to offset the strong wind pressure produced by the Guai Li sword, the aftershock was not something that the people in the castle could withstand.
Therefore, he had no choice but to expand the defensive range of the barrier to cover the entire castle. This also caused him to expend too much magic power, which was why he let Gilgamesh off.
This time, Asker, who already knew Gilgamesh's trump card, did not intend to let him off.
It was a pity.
If he killed Gilgamesh, he could use his gift, Allforone, to seize the ability of his King's Treasure, but he would not be able to seize the Guai Li Sword.
This was because not only did one have to kill or steal the mana of others, but one also had to analyze the ability of others.
If he didn't release his spirit lattice, Aske wouldn't be able to see through Guai Li Sword.
Therefore, he could only give up on this weapon that even Aske was amazed by.
As for Gilgamesh's position, there was no need to worry about it.
The proud Hero King wouldn't move his base just because his master had been killed. After all, this was no different from running away to him. Therefore, he and Yanfeng Qili continued to use the Tosaka family and the Holy Church as their base.
However, before the battle at night, Asker planned to adjust his condition and prepare well.
When he walked into the ward, he realized that the person lying on the bed this time was not Amiya Qitsuki, but Alisfer.
Asker understood that with the three followers leaving, Alisfall was almost unable to hold on.
"How are you feeling, Allie?"
Alice was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. When she heard Asker's voice, she slowly opened her eyes.
"Asker, huh? There's always an indescribable sense of powerlessness.”
“......”
Asker was silent for a while. At the same time, he gestured to Alisfall, who was about to sit up, to continue lying down and rest. There was no need to force herself.
"I'm going to make a move on Archer tonight.”
"Is that so? Don't worry about me. Just do as you want.”
Alice forced a smile. Everyone present knew that if another follower left, Alice would fall unconscious, and her personality would gradually collapse and disappear.
"I understand, Allie. Rest well. Saber will stay behind to protect you.”
Just as Asker was about to get up and leave, he was stopped by Alisfell.
"Aske, I lied to you last time. I'm sorry.”
Aske turned his head and pretended to be puzzled.
"Last time? What is it?"
"It's just... No, it's nothing. You have to be careful.”
Just as he was about to say something, he saw Asker's gentle smile and understood that Asker was just asking the obvious. He did not mind that Asker had lied to him last time and said that Amiya Qichitsu did not use Avalon.
She knew that Asker no longer cared about that matter. Thinking about it, it made sense. She was not good at lying at all. Her acting skills could be easily seen through, not to mention that the other party was Asker.
Therefore, Alisfall did not insist on accepting Asker's kindness. She was very grateful.
"Got it, Allie. I'll be leaving first.”
Aske stood up and walked out of the door. Just as he was about to close the door, Amiya Qietsu, who had been sitting silently beside him, spoke.
"Thank you again, and I'm sorry.”
Aske smiled and did not say anything. He closed the door and left the room.
Asker, who was walking in the corridor, revealed a smirk. He knew that he had successfully gained the trust of Emiya Qitsuki, and that apology was for him doubting him.
He went to his room with Saber.
Saber had completely let go of the knot in her heart. She only wanted to stay by Asker's side and help her win the Holy Grail War.
Now, she was no longer a king, but a young girl in love.
"You're back, Aske."
Saber sat quietly on the sofa like a wife waiting for her husband to come home.
"Are we just going to sit here? Leah."
"No, I just had lunch. It's not suitable for exercise. I'm digesting it now.”
Asker suddenly remembered Saber's other unique characteristic, which was that he could eat.
Before coming to Dongmu City, Asker was shocked by his daily appetite.
"Aren't you afraid of getting fat if you sit after eating?”
Saber looked at Asker angrily, looking especially cute.
"Heroic spirits don't get fat."
He sat opposite Saber and suddenly became serious.
"Tonight, I will make a move on Archer.”
Hearing Asker's words, Saber was also nervous.
"That Hero King? That final precious artifact of his is truly astonishing.”
"Ah, indeed, but don't worry, he's not my match yet.”
Saber nodded in agreement.
"If it's just you, there's really no need to be afraid of him.”
"Yes, but I'll have to rely on you to guard this place tonight. Don't worry about Rider, I've already made an appointment with him to fight tomorrow. What worries me is Archer's new master.”
"New master?"
Saber didn't understand. He didn't know that Archer's master was dead.
"The reason Archer escaped that day was because his master was assassinated.”
"Assassination!"
Saber looked at Asker with ill intentions, making him feel uncomfortable.
"I did it. I arranged for the master of Berserker to do it. There was an irreconcilable hatred between them.”
Saber was unhappy, not because Asker's actions were despicable, but because he didn't tell her about it before.
" Didn't I tell you now, Leah? I was too busy before."
Seeing Saber's dissatisfaction, he smiled awkwardly.
Saber sighed helplessly.
"Forget it this time, at least tell me earlier next time! Asker."
"I know, I know."
Seeing that Saber wasn't angry, Asker became more casual and continued,"
" After Archer's master died, he found a new master. He's the representative of the Holy Church, Yan Fengqili. And I talked to him before."
Seeing Saber's gradually dissatisfied expression, Asker quickly explained,"
"I bumped into him on the street. This wasn't part of my plan. Talking to him and enlightening him was also to make it easier for Berserker's master to kill Archer's master.”
Saber stared at Asker with a sharp gaze, like a volcano that was about to erupt.
"How much of your plan are you hiding from me?”
"Well, let me think. There's not much left. The rest are probably unimportant things.”
