Hearing this, Arthur froze as if he hadn't processed it.
He had been skeptical when Lancer said it before, but now that his own Master, Irisviel, had confird Lancer's claim, it was most likely true.
Knowing his Master wouldn't say such a thing without reason, although a trace of lancholy and loss flashed through Arthur's heart, he didn't feel any sense of unacceptance. After a brief mont of adaptation, his expression was rely a bit complicated.
On the other side, however, Waver, who had also received the ssage, couldn't help but voice his doubts after reading the letter.
"Although it says here that the Grail was corrupted due to an accident in the previous Holy Grail War... what if this is a conspiracy between you and the Church..."
His voice trailed off as he spoke. Waver couldn't believe he actually had the guts to raise a skeptical opinion in this situation.
Although he had originally joined the Holy Grail War just to prove his own abilities, and had already thought about withdrawing after learning his supervisor, Kayneth, was still participating, after spending these few days with Iskandar, he could clearly feel the man's heroic spirit and magnanimity. He didn't know if he had been influenced by it, but that was why he had suddenly spoken up.
I must be crazy. I should just quit this dangerous ritual...
Feeling like crying but having no tears, and feeling the gazes of everyone on him, Waver's body subconsciously began to tremble. This made El-lloi II, standing beside Rin, sigh as if disappointed in him.
However, before Waver could force a laugh and take back what he had just said, Iskandar had already gotten up and co to his side. He clapped him on the shoulder and laughed heartily.
"Well said, boy! That is a possibility! And you, Saber's Master, although this King doesn't know how you believed Lancer's story so quickly, it's not so easy to convince this King!"
So it would turn out like this...
El-lloi II frowned in frustration. He was just about to prompt Rin on how to persuade the King of Conquerors, but at that mont, Gilgash, who had been watching from the side, took a sip of wine and chuckled.
"Stop clinging to unrealistic expectations, mongrels. This King can prove that what the boy says is true. After all, before coming here, this King went to the central hub of this ritual to confirm this 'surprise.' The magical energy there is, to put it mildly, nauseating."
"However, boy, in this King's opinion, you should have told these mongrels about this a little later. To learn this fact just as they are on the verge of success... their expressions would surely be more comical, hahaha!"
As if having enjoyed a decent play, Gilgash glanced at the slightly changed expressions of Arthur and Iskandar, a smile in his eyes.
"There is no aning in doing that."
Rin didn't understand why Gilgash would find joy in such a thing. He shook his head and continued.
"Also, I believe you all have learned about the matter concerning Caster from the Church's notice. However, please allow to explain a few more things."
After telling the others in the courtyard Caster's True Na, his general abilities, and his actions, Rin added at the end.
"Of course, this assistance is rely a request, not mandatory. But if possible, I still hope you will lend us and the Church a hand."
"...If he is such a villain, then he indeed cannot be allowed to harm the people of this era any further."
Having composed himself, Arthur looked at Irisviel in the distance, as if seeking her opinion.
After recovering from her daze, Irisviel also nodded with a slightly complicated expression.
"You can do what you want to do, Saber."
"My deepest thanks, Master."
In response to the King of Knights' thanks, Irisviel gave a wry smile in her heart.
Honestly, this Holy Grail War had lost its aning. And if the Holy Grail was corrupted, it ant the Einzbern family's wish could not be fulfilled.
For her, who was the Lesser Grail and was ant to be "sacrificed" for this ritual, she couldn't tell if this was good news or bad news. Her heart was in turmoil.
"...I never expected this kind of developnt. To think this King believed he could compete with heroes from all walks of life in this Holy Grail War, only for it to end like this. But since there's a problem with the Grail and it can't descend, why don't we just decide the winner of this ritual by seeing who can take down Caster first?"
Iskandar had been shaking his head in disappointnt, but suddenly, as if thinking of sothing, his interest was piqued and his eyebrow raised.
"Hah, this King has no interest in participating in such a ga of cat and mouse."
Gilgash sneered. The only reason he had co to this banquet tonight was to enjoy the "comical expressions" of Saber and Rider. Now that the play was over, even the slight interest he had in this Holy Grail War had mostly dissipated along with the ritual's aning.
"Oh? Don't tell you're afraid you'll lose, Archer?"
Iskandar provoked him without holding back. In his view, the more people, the rrier.
"A low-level taunt. Do you think this King will fall for that, mongrel? This King is the one and only king between heaven and earth. I have no need to prove myself."
His pride was so absolute it left one speechless. Faced with a Gilgash so firm in his self-identity, Iskandar knew that further provocation would likely not get him to join his proposal. He could only shake his head with so regret.
In that case, this should end smoothly...
Although Saber and Rider hadn't explicitly said they would help, Rin understood that at this point, a basic cooperation had been established, which made him sigh in relief.
However, before he could even think that everything related to the Holy Grail War would be wrapped up by tomorrow at the latest, the ground suddenly trembled without warning.
"This tremor... it seems to be coming from sowhere else..."
Arthur frowned warily. He subconsciously felt that there might be sothing wrong with this unnatural tremor and imdiately moved to Irisviel's side.
And the mont the tremor hit, Rin also seed to sense sothing. He instantly snapped his fingers, created paper wings on his back, and flew into the sky.
His paper cranes and crow-eye mask simultaneously looked towards a certain direction.
"Looking" at the giant monster that had inexplicably appeared at the mouth of the bay, Rin muttered with concern.
"What... is that?"
