Rin won the fight against Caster, but she didn't win the entire stand-up fight.
Because Kuzuki took action.
Unlike Caster who is not as good as a chicken in close combat, it is not easy for him, who was born as a killer, to deal with a jack of all trades like Rin.
With just one move, Soichiro Kuzuki subdued Rin.
"What a shame, you were so close to winning."
Caster looked confident of victory, she raised her hands triumphantly, ready to finish off Rin and Shirou—
"Trace On——!"
Something strange happened.
The appearance of Archer broke the deadlock, and Caster and Soichiro Kuzuki, who were only one step away from victory, were ambushed by him.
In order to protect his master, Caster died under the projected rain of swords.
Next, he faced Kuzuki, who was unwilling to quit after losing his Servant and planned to continue the challenge even though his fists had lost their enhancements.
Archer fulfilled his wish and sent him to meet Caster underground.
Relying on the advantage of attack distance, Ge Mu was defeated without even having a chance to get close.
Afterwards, Archer turned his attention to the person he could never forgive in his life - Shirou Emiya.
Although Saber, who regained her freedom, blocked Archer's sneak attack for Shirou, she didn't know why Archer treated Shirou like this.
This confusion is not only shared by Saber, but also by Shirou, Rin, and even most of the audience.
Why is Archer still so obsessed with Shirou when Caster has obviously already dealt with what needed to be dealt with?
Under Rin's questioning, Archer confessed like a villain.
It turned out that all of this was his plan. Ever since he participated in this Holy Grail War, he had only one goal, which was to kill Shirou Emiya.
He betrayed Caster because it was the only way to remove Rin's Command Seals and free himself from being bound by them.
Because Archer knew very well that as long as he was Rin's Servant, he would never be able to kill Shirou.
As for the reason for killing Shirou, Archer didn't want to say it. His mind was now filled with the idea of getting rid of the person first and then talking nonsense.
In order to prevent Rin from getting in the way, Archer used swords to form a cage and locked Rin up.
This way he could slowly deal with Shirou by himself. Saber was already half dead after losing her Master anyway, and couldn't save Shirou a second time.
Even if Shirou wanted to re-sign the contract with Saber, with Shirou's half-baked magician level, he thought Saber was still a rookie unless she took off her pants and added magic on the spot.
Archer's idea was indeed beautiful, but he forgot one thing.
Shirou is not the only Master without a Servant at the scene, and replenishing magic is not only for men and women, but also for yuri...
Pooh.
As an orthodox magician, Rin doesn't need to resort to tricks like replenishing magic.
She only needs to sign the contract properly to restore Saber's fighting power.
And Rin did the same.
While Shirou was fighting Archer with his half-baked projection magic, Rin found Saber, who was only breathing her last breath.
"——Declare! Your body is under me, and my fate depends on your sword."
In the church, Tohsaka Rin's voice echoed clearly in the room.
"If we obey the call of the Holy Grail, this will, this principle—"
"It's a contract!"
Because the plot twisted too quickly in a short period of time, although the audience understood what happened, their brains did not fully react.
But now it's different. When Rin uttered those iconic words, everyone who knew the plot of Fate knew what she was doing.
Many of the audience members recited along with Rin, but even more of them clapped loudly while letting out meaningless howls.
"I swear in the name of Saber! You are my master, Tohsaka Rin!"
A fierce hurricane swept through the church, and the once world-famous king finally took back the power she deserved.
This should have been the contract from the beginning, the Master that matched him, and the king finally got it.
"Ohhhhhhhhh!!!!"*N
Seeing the majestic Knight King on the screen, countless fans shouted excitedly. This was their cry for the return of the king in their hearts.
In order to highlight the difference between Saber at this moment and before, Nanaya made some special image processing here.
Lily's whole body was illuminated by Nanaya's soft light, which made her look as holy as an angel.
At the same time, under the special effects processing, the silver-white armor on Lily's body seemed to be on fire, and transparent flame-like heat waves continued to emerge.
In comparison, the injured Archer looked like a sick chicken.
Poor, weak and helpless.
And Artoria's powerful posture is Saber's true posture, the sword hero spirit known as the strongest Servant!
Beautiful, powerful and edible.
Archer, unwilling to give up, tried to bypass Saber and attack Shirou, but was beaten back by Saber in one round.
It was obvious that Saber, whose whole body was filled with magical energy, could completely crush Archer who had lost his Master.
In a hand-to-hand combat, Saber could easily crush 10 half-crippled Archers without even taking a breath.
But just like Archer said, as an archer he has his own way of winning - cheating.
"I am the bone of my sword."
As the spell that appeared countless times in the trailer sounded, the audience's appetite was whetted.
The plot of UBW was completely beyond their expectations. They were eager to know how the plot would develop next and why Archer wanted to kill Shirou.
"So as I pray, Unlimited Blade Works."
Boiling flames were running around in the camera, and something like a white line was constantly moving on the ground.
In just a moment, Archer, Saber, Shirou, Rin, and everyone in the Holy Church were surrounded by flames.
The scenery of the original world was suddenly replaced by the scenery of the desert.
A ruthless iron foundry appeared in everyone's sight.
Flames were roaring and gears were spinning in the air.
In this endless wilderness, there are only endless swords extending to the end of the horizon.
These swords are the composition of this world and the essence of Archer.
The Gan Jiang and Moye, the Hrunting, and the pink shield that Archer had used before were all woven out of this world.
Just by seeing this scene, Shirou understood everything.
The white-haired man standing in front of me is me.
"This is... an inherent barrier?!"
Rin and Saber both expressed surprise, because they never thought that Archer's trump card would be this.
"Could it be that...Archer, you are..."
Saber looked at the former Master whom she was protecting. She already had the answer in her heart, but this answer was too crazy for her to accept.
Archer himself was very satisfied with the expressions of everyone present.
"Did you guess it?"
"But why? This is really ridiculous, you would... You are obviously Shirou, why would you kill yourself?"
Then Lily told a fact that everyone present had guessed, but most of the audience was still unaware of.
"What The F**k?!"
This news was so shocking. Although many people had a rough guess about Archer's identity before, no one was willing to believe it when it was actually revealed.
The audience hoped that Archer would deny it, but what they got was an affirmative answer from the red Servant.
"Yes, I am the result of this boy's ridiculous ideal, a ruthless executioner."
Archer answered Saber with disgust, "This is what I got at the end of that ideal, a grave with only swords and a life with nothing."
Archer took out the same holy sword as Saber and threatened her: "Don't get in the way, Saber. If you dare to move, I will use your holy sword to destroy everything around!"
It must be said that Archer was indeed persistent in the matter of Emiya Shirou. In order to prevent Saber from interfering, he even said: "Once I kill that brat, I will have completed my mission and will be out of the game. By then, you and your Master will almost certainly be victorious."
Archer's proposal was very tempting. If it was FZ's Artoria, she might have nodded in agreement.
Unfortunately, this is not a story written by Gen Urobuchi, and Artoria's master is not Kiritsugu Emiya from the Fourth War.
So Saber directly and righteously rejected Archer's proposal.
She said that she was King Arthur, the leader of the Knights of the Round Table, so of course she wanted both the new and old masters.
Then, Rin was captured.
After all, there was something wrong with Saber's positioning when she said this.
She shouldn't have stood in front of Archer and said this, but should have pushed Archer into a corner and then acted like this.
After all, she had two Masters, one behind her and the other behind Archer.
Now, Archer grabbed Miss Lily's current Master and ran away after saying something like "See you on the school playground after school."
Saber and her former Master were left staring at each other, their faces filled with confusion and bewilderment.
"What a pity."
Lily, who was sitting below, said unhappily, "It would be nice if they just ignored you, and you would just fend for yourself in the deserted castle. Unfortunately, reality is not acting."
"Yeah, that's a shame."
Rin cooperated solemnly, "If acting were reality, Shinji and I could kiss each other in the castle and discuss how to give birth to little Rin."
Lily pondered for a moment, then she slapped the armrest: "Damn, it's true!"
