Chapter 1132: Chapter 775 Winter Forest_3 Chapter 1132: Chapter 775 Winter Forest_3 “Alright.”
For Duanmu Huai, this matter had come to an end.
But the battle in the dead of night was far from over.
“Who… exactly are you?”
Rin Tohsaka clenched her teeth, enduring the pain as she got up from the ground and stared down the opposing Servant, who remained silent, simply watching her.
Being attacked was something Rin Tohsaka had anticipated. Together with the Master of SABER, they had been rushing around Fuyuki City, seeking the hidden hand behind the disappearances. In Rin's view, it surely was the doing of a Master or a Servant, and as the caretaker of these lands, she would never overlook such actions.
Rin had believed that, with her own ARCHER and the opposing SABER, even if they encountered an enemy, they would be more than capable of putting up a fight. However, the reality proved otherwise.
In just a brief encounter, SABER, who was their main combat force, was defeated… No, Rin couldn't even be certain what had actually happened. All she saw was something that suddenly emerged from the shadows, and then, without SABER getting a chance to struggle, she and her Master were silently devoured. Rin had been saved by ARCHER just in time, hastily dodging the attack.
This Servant should not have been difficult to deal with, but… why? Why was there such an ominous premonition?
“Rin.”
Just as Rin was contemplating her next move, ARCHER spoke without looking back.
“Leave this to me, you need to evacuate immediately.”
“ARCHER?”
“The opponent is not one we can handle right now. You've felt it too, haven't you? That immense Magic Power…”
Rin Tohsaka bit her lip, remaining silent. She knew exactly what ARCHER meant. They were trapped inside this office building, and the enemy had even set up a Barrier. They were completely confined. And then there was that strange Shadow that could even consume Servants…
“Watch out!”
At that moment, Rin suddenly heard ARCHER's voice and, in the next instant, she was pushed away by ARCHER. It was then that Rin shockingly saw a black tentacle-like appendage, resembling a ribbon, lashing towards her, attempting to pierce through ARCHER's body!
“Bang! Bang! Bang!!”
However, just then, a series of gunshots rang out. Bullets, sparkling with the light of gunfire, shattered the glass and concrete walls. The ribbon-like Shadow also broke apart and exploded. Dust filled the room, obscuring the view as if a smoke grenade had been detonated.
“Ugh…”
Rin instinctively raised her arms, but at that moment, a hand suddenly appeared, grabbing her arm. At the same time, an unexpected voice reached her ears.
“Run!”
Rin was momentarily stunned by the voice but she knew this wasn't the time for hesitation and quickly backed away following the direction given.
Subsequently, Rin felt her body as if submerged in icy seawater, shivering violently.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself no longer in the eerie office but on a nearby mountain, with ARCHER standing before her, Double-edge in hand.
“Huh…”
In this moment, Rin also let out a sigh of relief. Then she turned her head to look at the girl behind her–her own sister.
“Thank you, Sakura.”
