Eighth Crown

If even the Demon Eye of Death can't kill him, then Liu Xia really can't help him, either wait for him to disappear, or go to the magician behind him.

"That was...?"

As soon as Liu Xia's eyes recovered, she suddenly heard a very familiar voice from the side.

A girl with long black hair in a double ponytail came to the vicinity at some point, her black miniskirt fluttering in the night wind.

Tohsaka Rin stared blankly at the direction where the shadow disappeared just now, not knowing what he was thinking, and couldn't return to his senses for a long time.

Beside her, the red Archer was standing there.

Behind them, Emiya Shirou and Saber-class King Arthur were running towards them.

There are still some scars on Saber's body, which should have been caused by the battle with Lancer, but it doesn't look like there was a fatal injury. There must be credit for the support of the red Archer, after all, Lancer's strength is far above Saber.

"Rider, what happened just now?"

Speaking of Cao Cao's arrival, Lancer didn't know when, riding the snow-white horse, he came to Liu Xia's side, looking at the direction of the disappearing shadow, his beautiful brows were also wrinkled.

"Under that golden light, a third Servant seems to have appeared. I was worried that there would be an accident here... But it seems that it is not just the Servant who entered the chaos. What is that shadow just now? It gives me the feeling It's very bad, it feels like meeting a natural enemy."

Because he was worried about an accident here, Lancer gave up the chance to decide the outcome with Saber, and took the initiative to run to Liu Xia's side.

"That thing, on the surface, is a creation of imaginary numbers, but it has the ability to pollute Servants, and it should be a completely formed curse in essence..."

Lucia was also lost in thought.

This curse ability seems to be quite suspicious when you think about it.

Curses that can even be tainted by followers are rare, even if you look at myths around the world. If they appear in Fuyuki City, there are basically only two possibilities.

One possibility is that the imaginary creation is the ability of a certain Servant.

In the current Fuyuki City, except Assassin, all the other Servants have already appeared.

And Assassin, if nothing else, was summoned by the Matou family, that unknown monster, after all, there are candidates for other classes.

Because Liu Xia couldn't find Assassin with his future vision, he felt that the monster might also have magical skills comparable to Semiramis, so it was not impossible to create this imaginary number creation.

However, there is another possibility.

That shadow may be the appearance of the Great Holy Grail on the outside.

The Great Holy Grail, which was polluted by a lot of negative emotions, itself had a functional disorder and became the Black Holy Grail, filled with a lot of curses.

And because the Servant is also the crystallization of the ability of the Great Holy Grail, it can be said that it has the same origin as the curse, so it makes sense that the shadow can contaminate the Servant.

But then, a new problem arose.

The Great Holy Grail does not have the ability to show itself in the outside world. It does not have that kind of wisdom and function. If the Black Holy Grail can really show itself in the outside world, it must be through a certain medium.

"Hey, Patriarch Tohsaka."

Thinking of this, Liu Xia suddenly raised her head and looked at Tohsaka Rin beside her.

"Since you are the manager of this land, do you know if there are magicians with imaginary attributes in this city?"

If that shadow is really the manifestation of the Great Black Grail in the outside world, then it must have used a magician with an imaginary number attribute as a medium.

"Imaginary attribute...imaginary?"

Tohsaka Rin couldn't help but froze for a moment when he heard the words, and then his eyes darkened suddenly.

"...No, I don't know. This kind of thing is always a magician's secret, and no one will inquire about it ignorantly."

She looked away, not looking at Liu Xia.

Although it looks very natural, Liu Xia, who has high eyesight, can see through her insincere nature at a glance.

She must have known.

But he didn't want to tell Lucia.

Is it because of a family secret, or something else?

"...Forget it, that thing will pop up on its own sooner or later."

Liu Xia thought about it for a while, and finally shook her head and gave up pursuing the shadow's true body.

After all, the purpose of his participation in this Holy Grail War did not include playing puzzle games.

Whether it was Assassin's creation or the manifestation of the Black Great Grail in the outside world, it had nothing to do with him.

Anyway, when the dragon came out of the Black Holy Grail, he also completed the task of defeating the Servant, and then he destroyed the Great Black Holy Grail with one shot, what GrandCaster, what imaginary creation and the curse of the polluted Servant, all forced to end.

"Lancer, what are you going to do?"

Liu Xia looked at Lancer beside him, "Do you want to continue to decide the outcome with them?"

As soon as he said these words, the atmosphere that had just eased a little, suddenly became heavy and chilling.

Saber's eyes looking at this side contained complex emotions such as confusion, unwillingness, depression, etc. Even the dull hair on his head became wilted at some point.

"...Sorry, Rider."

Lancer met her complicated eyes, her mouth filled with resolute words that somehow became unutterable.

"Can you give me another day? I want to take this opportunity to completely reverse the unrealistic desire in her heart."

Whether it was Saber or Lancer, in the end, it was herself.

Since it is her own words, then the wrong desire in the other party's heart, she must not ignore it, she must find a way to correct her thoughts.

"It's only a day or two, it's nothing."

Liu Xia glanced at her, and said indifferently: "However, when the Master wakes up later, you can explain it yourself."

"I see, thank you."

Lancer said nothing, thanked Lucia, and then looked at Saber on the opposite side.

The two looked at each other.

The firm eyes and the shaken look formed a sharp contrast.

"Get ready, I'll find you tomorrow morning."

Lancer didn't say too much, just left such words to Saber.

Immediately, she clamped the horse's belly and let the horse's hooves under her crotch step into the void, flying into the sky, and flying towards the distant Shenshan Town.

Liu Xia followed closely behind, and the flames spewed out from under her feet, and she also left from the open space.

Within half a minute, the two of them completely disappeared from the sight of the four here.

Only Saber and Tohsaka Rin, who didn't know what they were thinking, Emiya Shirou, who didn't know what to say, and Hero Emiya, who looked at the direction where the shadow disappeared, had a dark expression on his face.

The four of them were very busy, and the group fell into silence.

So far.

The second night of the Holy Grail War ends.
