Back at the Tohsaka Annex, Rin had already used Healing Magecraft to recover from all her injuries. At this moment, apart from being a bit dirty like a little kitten, Rin had no injuries left on her body.
Rin pouted, glared at Gilgamesh behind her, and said aggressively.
"I'm going to take a bath. And you, if you dare to hug me like that next time, just wait for your treasury to hemorrhage again! Hmph!"
After speaking, Rin left the back of her head to Gilgamesh, then turned and walked towards her room.
Gilgamesh looked at Rin's angry retreating figure, shrugged indifferently, flashed with gold light to change back into casual clothes, then walked to the hall, opened a bottle of red wine casually, and lay on the sofa to savor it carefully.
Rin returned to her room angrily, walked into the bathroom, filled the water, and lay in the bathtub with a hint of exhaustion.
Looking at the bathroom ceiling with lifeless eyes, she muttered to herself.
"I'm sorry!"
Soon night fell. After the fierce battle during the day, the whole city was silent. Every household kept their doors closed. The ordinary people dared not go out anymore and could only pray to the gods in their hearts in vain.
And the Servants of God, the church personnel, appeared in a rare group. Over a hundred church personnel walked openly on the street, ignoring the Magus and familiars monitoring them.
Walking at the very front was a white-haired girl holding a violin-shaped gun-shield. She was the leader of the Heresy Inquisition Knights, known as the "Saint of the Citadel," "Saint Shield Knight," and "Mediator of Music and Law," Litz.
Litz stopped, turned her head to look at Kirei Kotomine beside her, and pointed to a typical Japanese-style residence in front.
"Kirei, is it there?"
"Lord Leader, this is indeed where that pair of Masters is located."
Litz nodded to Kirei Kotomine, then waved to the Agents and Inquisition Knights behind her.
Soon the Agents scattered, surrounding the entire courtyard in a siege formation, while the knights took out their weapons and gathered into an offensive formation at the main gate.
Then Litz walked to the front of the knight formation and punched the courtyard gate without hesitation. Litz, with amazing arm strength, used her fist, which could strike with an average of two tons of force, combined with magic power to form air fists, instantly blasting the gate in front of her to pieces. Then the knights behind Litz raised their shields and advanced steadily into the courtyard. The nearby Agents also simultaneously leaped onto the courtyard walls, constantly throwing black keys inside.
Having long noticed someone attacking, the Lion King and Martha did not disturb the sleeping Shirou Kotomine and Caren. After Martha set up a barrier in Shirou Kotomine and Caren's room, she nodded to the Lion King and rushed out of the house without hesitation.
Just as she rushed out of the house into the courtyard, Martha was immediately faced with black keys from all directions. Martha smiled at these 'juniors', coolly flicked the sun hat off her head, leaped gently, dodged the incoming black keys, and arrived behind an Agent on the wall.
Martha extended her finger, tapped the Agent who was still scanning and looking for her, then saw the Agent turn around with a confused expression, smiled sweetly, and struck down with an iron fist without mercy.
The knocked-away Agent flew out like a cannonball, knocking down several other Agents.
Then, with speed beyond ordinary people, Martha quickly began to continuously attack the Agents on the wall.
Kirei Kotomine held his chest, fell to the ground, and looked at his unconscious companions, not understanding why the Servant in front of him was showing mercy to him.
Of course, Kirei Kotomine did not know that it was from the fist technique that Kirei Kotomine used when resisting just now that Martha saw the shadow of Rin's fist technique.
Just when about one-third of the Agents were knocked down, the Knights also broke into the courtyard. Litz frowned as she looked at the Agents lying on the ground, turned to nod to her deputy, and then charged at Martha with her shield-gun.
"Leave this Servant to the Leader, you guys come with me to grab those two Masters!"
The deputy looked at Litz, who was in contact with Martha, and shouted to the knights behind him and the nearby Agents.
Martha punched Litz's shield, causing Litz to crash embarrassingly against the courtyard wall.
"I don't suggest you go in! The one inside won't be as merciful as I am!"
Litz rubbed her aching chest and swung her shield to slap Martha, who had her back to her.
"Don't worry about her, hurry in and grab the Masters!"
Martha sidestepped to avoid Litz's attack and hit Litz's chin with an uppercut.
"Disobedient 'juniors' need to be properly 'cared for'!"
Sure enough, the Agent who rushed into the house let out a scream, and then, with a large hole appearing in his chest, he was thrown out of the house like a cannonball. Then the Lion King appeared at the door of the room, holding the holy spear. After waving the spear a few times, a wind blade appeared, drawing a line on the ground outside the door.
"Martha, anyone who crosses this line is my enemy!"
Martha traded a punch with Litz, then turned her head to look at the Lion King at the door and nodded.
"Understood! Thank you, Artoria."
Martha knew that it was already the limit to keep the Lion King from attacking the juniors in the courtyard. Now, Martha only hoped to defeat these juniors as quickly as possible so they wouldn't go to their deaths anymore.
But these stubborn people in the mystery world would never understand Martha's good intentions. Several knights looked at each other, raised their shields, and began to charge at the Lion King in front of the door.
The moment these knights crossed that line, the Lion King gently waved the holy spear in her hand, and the upper and lower bodies of the knights were instantly separated.
Litz watched her dead companions and shouted in grief and anger.
"Damn it!"
Then she gritted her teeth, used all her strength to hold off Martha's punch with her shield, raised her head, and headbutted Martha.
Litz, covered in blood and dizzy, raised her head, first looked at Martha, who was recovering after rubbing her head indifferently, then turned to look at her companions who were constantly trying to break through the Lion King and dying one after another, and shouted an order.
"Retreat!"
The nearby Agents and knights looked at Litz in surprise, then the church personnel showed their strict discipline, silently helped up their unconscious and injured companions, and began to evacuate the courtyard in an orderly manner.
When the church personnel retreated from the courtyard, Litz's deputy came to Litz and asked.
"Lord Leader, are we really just retreating like this?"
"No! Help me notify Narbaleck, tell him I need support, it's best to send that guy Meilian Solomon!"
At this moment, on a hill not far away, Zouken Matou turned to look at Black Saber beside him and said.
"Hehehe, Your Majesty! The farce below is over, is it time for you to make your entrance?"
Black Saber waved her hand at Zouken Matou and Kiritsugu Emiya.
"You guys keep that fist woman busy, I am very interested in that person holding the spear!"
After speaking, Black Saber changed her casual clothes into a suit of full-body armor, held the 'magic sword', and charged at the Lion King in the distance.
