"Pitch Black."
That was the first impression Rozen had when he saw Saber.
Her skin was white, and it was an extremely unhealthy paleness.
He wore a rather heavy set of armor. The armor was pitch-black, the exact opposite of his skin. It covered nearly ninety percent of his body and shone with a frightening luster.
On the other hand, he wasn't very tall. In fact, he could even be described as short, thin, and weak.
However, that extremely thin and frail body exuded a terrifying magical power that was enough to make one shudder in fear.
The fierce magic power was like a dark wave that swallowed people's hearts, filling the whole big hole.
This incomparably ferocious magic now originated from the Servant in front of him, Saber.
Before that, Rozen had already prepared his heart.
He was ready to face the most terrible enemy.
The opponent was the existence that he regarded as absolutely invincible, even Berserker couldn't defeat.
Not only that, the Saber job class required a Heroic Spirit with the highest level of abilities other than mana, apart from being a Legendary Knight of the Sword. That was why Saber was often viewed as the trump card of all servants. In the Holy Grail War, Saber was viewed as the job class most likely to be the champion. It was unquestionably powerful.
In fact, in Chaldea's record, the winner of the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City in 2004 was a servant of the Saber class, which showed how powerful it was.
However, in the face of this enemy, Rozan Can found that his psychological preparation was not enough.
The opponent was definitely more terrible than he thought.
And what surprised Rozen even more was …
"It's actually a woman …!?"
Yes.
Even Berserker couldn't defeat Saber, the terrible enemy that everyone was shocked after knowing her real name, turned out to be a slender girl.
"That … that one is actually a girl …!?"
"The legend is not reliable at all!"
Even Mashu and Olga Marie screamed, and their hearts were shaken. On the contrary, Caster, who had met him before, took it for granted, which made people hate him.
Under such circumstances, Saber stood on a rocky platform that rose from the ground like a cliff, looking down at the crowd with disdain.
"Is this the powerful enemy that forced you to retreat and couldn't even hold the front line?"
Saber's light and cold voice was heard again.
However, this sentence was not said to Rozen and the others, but to a servant that appeared behind him.
"They are a group of powerful enemies that cannot be underestimated." Archer stood behind Saber and said in a deep voice, "Even if it's you, if you don't pay attention, you may be defeated."
"Really?" Saber didn't show any anger. Instead, she looked at Rozen and the others as if she was evaluating their value.
When she saw Caster, Saber didn't show any abnormality, she looked quite indifferent.
When she saw Olga Marie, Saber didn't even look at her, as if she didn't put her in her eyes at all.
When Saber saw Mashu, her gaze stopped on the shield she was holding, and her eyes flashed with a hint of doubt and hesitation.
When she saw Rozen, Saber's eyes narrowed.
"So that's it."
Saber opened her mouth and said something shocking.
"Are you the last master of Chaldea?"
As soon as she said that, everyone was shocked.
"She … she knows about the existence of Chaldea …!?"
Matthew was surprised.
"What the hell is going on!?"
Olga Marie was shocked.
Saber obviously knew about the situation of Rozen and the others.
That alone was enough to surprise people.
After all, Rozen and his party weren't from this era, yet the other party knew so much about them. No one would believe it if he said there was no problem.
Rozen, on the other hand, had already expected this.
There were two reasons.
One was what Archer said when they retreated.
"I'm here to see if you have the ability to save this era and the people of this world."
Archer, who said such a sentence, obviously knew the true identity of Rozen and his party. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said the theme of "saving people" that only existed in Chaldea.
If Rozen didn't guess wrong, Archer should have learned something from Saber.
As for Saber, she learned these things from the person behind the scenes who gave her the Holy Grail.
Rozen suppressed all of that in the bottom of his heart and looked at Saber with a smile.
"To be honest, after knowing your real name, I really didn't expect that you would accept the Holy Grail given by the person behind the scenes to do evil in this era."
After suppressing the fear of Saber's terrible magic in his heart, Rozen first adopted a dialogue.
Dialogue was the best way to get information, and Rozen always thought so.
Moreover, through dialogue, it could also form such effects as deterrence, relief, confusion, and even deception. In the face of an almost invincible enemy, as long as you don't want to escape, dialogue is the only way to find a chance to win.
Therefore, only at this time, Rozen was happy to delay time, at least to buy time for Matthew and Olga Marie to change their mentality and deal with the situation seriously.
And Rozen's plan seemed to be a little successful.
Saber responded to Rozen's question with a blank expression.
"The judgment of good and evil can't be determined by one aspect." Saber said indifferently: "My purpose is only to maintain this era, that's why I accepted the Holy Grail's gift after knowing that everything is irreversible. Whether this is good or evil, it's up to the world and history to decide."
There was too much information hidden in those words.
"Maintain this era?"
Matthew was slightly startled.
"Everything is irreversible?"
Olga Marie was even more startled.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
Caster was also keenly aware that something was wrong.
Even Rozen had many thoughts in his mind because of that sentence.
After those thoughts collided, converged, and summarized, Rozen gradually learned a fact.
And that seemed to be noticed by Saber, and her gaze on Rozen became sharp on the spot, which made Rozen's heart suddenly thump.
"It seems that you are indeed very smart, Master of Chaldea." Saber said with a blank expression: "But ignorance is sometimes a luxury, and knowing too much is a misfortune."
Saying so, Saber slowly walked toward them.
"Om!"
At that moment, the air began to hum.
That was a phenomenon caused by the surging magical power.
The pitch-black magical energy gathered in Saber's hand and eventually turned into a sword.
The whole body was dark, the sword was covered with red lines, and it exuded a terrifying atmosphere.
No, it was not a magical sword, but a holy sword in a different form.
Everyone knew about it. Even Berserker died under its brilliance. Even Caster was stiff, and he was on guard as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
"Master of Chaldea, do you want to save people?"
Saber raised the dark holy sword in her hand and pointed it at Rozen.
"Then let the sword in my hand determine whether you have this qualification or not."
So, the violent magical power turned into a substance.
Bathed in that magical storm, Rozen understood.
