In the forest.
Rin Enosaka and Shiro Wei were moving forward steadily.
The barrier that was originally set up here had disappeared because there was no one to maintain it. It didn't cause any trouble for them, so they were moving forward quickly.
King Arthur, who was a Heroic Spirit, and Wei Gong, who was a Lancer, had both chosen to spiritualize and followed the two.
The young man and the young woman looked tense as they walked toward the castle without saying a word.
Although there were various other situations as well, their worry for Ying's condition overwhelmed their other emotions, causing their hearts to feel heavy.
Rider only told them that they could go to Ainzbelen Castle to find Sakura after an hour, but he didn't say what kind of enemies would be there.
But Rin Enosaka was very smart.
From the fact that Ryuga chose to leave Lancer to help instead of letting the two of them go by themselves, she guessed that "Rider must know that to find Sakura, there must be a fierce battle."
Just as the two of them were deep in thought, the tall castle in the distance quickly entered their line of sight.
They had wanted to sneak in from the back of the castle and rescue Ying first, but the huge phenomenon at the castle gate made them stop in their tracks.
"… What is that?"
Rin Enosaka only felt that her voice was trembling.
At the entrance of the castle, there was a sea of curses filled with ominous curses. The mud-like pitch-black substance covered the surroundings of the castle, making people flinch at the sight of it.
That was a genuine ocean of curses. Not to mention ordinary people, even a great magician would be cursed to death by that amount of curses.
Considering that the curse came from the Great Holy Grail, if a servant touched it, they would be in danger of being contaminated.
"If that's the case, there's no way to get into the castle!"
Rin Enosaka looked at the sea of curses and gritted her teeth.
“Archer，Lancer！ Do you two have any way to get us into the castle? "
The dark sea of curses surrounded the castle without leaving any gaps. Even the inside of the castle seemed to be contaminated by the mud-like substance. There was no place to stand.
"My East Stalyn can fly in the sky. He should be able to cross that black sea."
Lancer appeared beside the two of them. He looked at the Black Sea in the distance and pondered. "But I'm afraid we'll need to make two trips to send all of you in."
If there were any enemies inside, it would be terrible if they split up.
"If that's the case, let me do it."
Archer also appeared at the side, looking at the vast sea of Black Mud in the distance as he walked forward.
Under the astonished gazes of the other three, he estimated the distance between the two sides and then silently closed his eyes.
"— — Traceon (projection begin)!"
As he chanted the incantation, a rain of swords suddenly fell from the sky in front of him, hitting huge nails on the sea of black mud one after another.
"Boom!"
Then, a huge sword that was at least ten meters long, like a double-edged broadsword, suddenly fell from the sky and set up on the nails, forming a long sword-shaped bridge.
One end of the bridge was under everyone's feet, and the other end landed on the walls of the castle, perfectly avoiding the sea of black mud below.
"You really surprised me, Archer, you still have this trick up your sleeve!"
Rin Enosaka could not help but cover her gaping mouth. She looked at Archer with a new look in her eyes.
"I hope you don't underestimate me, Rin."
Archer heard this and could not help but show a helpless expression. "I'm not bad, but there are too many unexpected characters in this Holy Grail War …"
That's right, it was really unexpected. It was completely different from what he experienced in his life, so much so that he almost could not recognize this place.
"That huge sword, could it be the God-made Armament known as the Mountain-slaying Sword in Sumerian mythology?"
Even Lancer could not help but cast a surprised look at him. It was obvious that he had a new understanding of Archer.
"Don't think too highly of me. I can't recreate that kind of Noble Artifact."
Archer shrugged and spread out his hands. "At best, it's just an empty shell. Although you can't see it from the outside, it's actually an empty shell. However, it's still of quality. It was just a flash of inspiration to use it as a bridge. Alright, let's go!"
Wei Gongshiro looked at the huge sword not far away, and his eyes could not help but be a little dazed.
He did not know why, but he felt like he could understand the structure of the sword … Was it his illusion?
They did not stay there for long. Soon, they stepped on the bridge made by Archer and rushed in the direction of the castle.
However, as they stepped on the bridge, there seemed to be a figure on the other side of the bridge that took the initiative to welcome them.
"I see. I didn't expect there to be such an unprecedented way of invading. It's admirable."
It was a figure covered in a shabby black cloak. There was a white bone mask on his face and a few small knives in his hands as weapons.
"But a path created using this method would cause too much of a commotion. Anyone would be able to detect it!"
Along with the voice, a few silver knives flashed in the air and attacked in the direction of Rin Enban and Wei Gongshiro.
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
The moment he appeared, both Archer and Lancer were aware of his attack. They quickly stood in front of the two players and raised their weapons to deflect the dagger.
"That is …?"
Rin Enban's gaze fell on him and he activated his master's privilege.
Profession Rank: Assassin
Real Name: —

…
"Assassin's servant?"
Rin Enban was suddenly shocked. "Wait a minute, the number of servants doesn't match at all! Could it be another servant left behind from last time? "
"No, I'm afraid that's the real Assassin."
Lancer heard this and speculated thoughtfully.
"In theory, although there are seven servants summoned this time, according to Rider, the snake monster Gorgon summoned by Tong Ying is actually an Avenger. In other words, the real Assassin has never appeared!"
Sword Rank King Arthur, Archer Rank Heroic Spirit Wei Gong, Spear Rank King Arthur, Knight Rank Ryuga in disguise, Arcane Rank Solomon, and Berserker Rank Hercules.
The last Knight was Gorgon the Avenger. In other words, the Assassin Rank had never appeared.
In theory, this was the real last Knight. Gorgon was the one who appeared randomly.
