Chapter 808: Medea Holds Sakura and Alicefil Hostage?
Chapter 808: Medea Holds Sakura and Alicefil Hostage?
Gilgamesh was forcefully recalled by Faruzuki Tokito using a Command Spell, and when Yecheng turned to look at Lancer again, he realized that this guy had also retreated without hesitation under Kenneth's command.
After Gilgamesh and Diarmuid's successive retreats, the only remaining Heroic Spirits on the field were Berserker and Saber.
Unlike Archer and Lancer, whose Masters were by their sides, they couldn't just leave whenever they wanted.
If they were on their own, they would have a high chance of leaving safely, but with a burden, they had no confidence against Caster's demonstrated strength.
"Is it a one-on-two situation next, or a three-way battle?"
Looking at Yecheng holding two swords, Saber's face showed caution, and she instructed Alicefil behind her to leave as quickly as possible when they fought.
To be honest, even Saber didn't have much confidence when facing Yecheng.
But since it was only the first night of the Holy Grail War, she didn't want to fight Yecheng to the death. As long as Alicefil was out of danger, she would also retreat from the battlefield as soon as possible.
Compared to Saber's clear objective, Berserker, who had been a spectator for a while, namely Lancelot, had a much more complicated mood.
He first looked at Yecheng, who was enthusiastically playing a costume role, and then at the Silly King on the other side. Lancelot's face beneath his armor showed a conflicted expression.
One of the parties before him was his current Master's teacher, and the other was his former King. If a fight broke out, which side should he take? If he helped the Knight King, what would his recent declaration of loyalty to Sakura mean? But if he helped Yecheng against Artoria, wouldn't he be betraying his former King once again?
"Ding—!"
While Lancelot was still struggling internally, Yecheng and Saber had already started fighting.
To be fair, in terms of pure strength and combat skills, Saber's abilities were inferior to Lancelot and Diarmuid.
But Saber had an innate skill that Yecheng found quite troublesome—the A-Rank "Intuition."
This skill allowed Saber to anticipate danger in advance and make quick judgments, and with her all-A parameters, she was able to hold her own against Yecheng for a while.
As Lancelot watched the ongoing fight between Yecheng and Saber, he stopped hesitating. He picked up a piece of iron from the nearby Ferris wheel to use as a shield, broke off a steel pipe from a support, and with the Immortal Knight's Unyielding Grasp, he charged towards the two.
Lancelot had made up his mind. He wouldn't help either Yecheng or Saber; instead, he would join the fight as a third party.
After all, he was a Berserker, and as a Mad-ranked Servant, overthinking would only hinder his combat effectiveness. Charging in without a second thought was the way to go!
On Alicefil's side, due to Saber's previous instructions, when Saber and Yecheng started fighting, she immediately turned and ran away without hesitation.
When she saw Sakura still standing there in a daze, Alicefil's maternal instincts kicked in, and she couldn't help but remind her, "Berserker's Master, you should also leave here as soon as possible. The battles between Heroic Spirits are far more dangerous than you can imagine.
Once they unleash their full power, Berserker might not have the strength to protect you."
There was no choice; Sakura looked even younger than her daughter Illya, so Alicefil kindly offered her a warning.
However, just as she finished reminding Sakura and was about to evacuate, she was completely unaware that a figure in a black cloak with a curvaceous figure suddenly appeared behind her and held a dagger to her throat.
"Thinking of leaving now, don't you think it's a bit too late?"

A Draconic Soldier, a magic construct, appeared before Medea and quickly seized the bewildered Sakura as well.
"Berserker and Saber, if you don't want your Masters to be in danger, I suggest you listen to me right now."
Medea's voice, coming from not too far away, immediately distracted the three who were still fighting. When they saw what Medea was doing, Saber's expression turned grave, and even Lancelot and Yecheng were filled with astonishment.
Lancelot was surprised because he knew Yecheng was an ally, and he also knew that Yecheng was not the real Caster.
The identity of the woman in the black cloak who suddenly appeared was unknown to Lancelot, but it was clear from her actions that she was working with Yecheng, and it was highly likely that she was the real Caster.
So, the question arose: Isn't Sakura Yecheng's disciple? Weren't they supposed to be so close that they wore the same pants? Why would Yecheng's Servant hold Sakura hostage to threaten him?
Not only was Lancelot bewildered, but Yecheng was equally perplexed at this moment. However, remembering that he might not have had a chance to mention his relationship with Sakura, he quickly calmed down.
Taking women and child Masters hostage as a threat was indeed very much like Medea's style...
"Caster, I never expected a heroic spirit like you, who is so straightforward, to resort to taking women and children hostage!"
S
Saber had previously believed that Yecheng was a warrior with a sense of knightly spirit, but now she felt betrayed by his actions.
"I am just a Servant, Saber. I think you should understand that in the Holy Grail War, not all summoned heroic spirits can have a good compatibility with their Masters."
Yecheng's words made Saber recall her own relationship with Shirou Emiya, and she quickly realized that the hostage situation might be a tactic of Caster's Master.
"Caster's Master, as the Master of Caster, don't you feel ashamed?
While Caster, the warrior, continues to fight the enemy, you choose to use such despicable means to restrain us. Don't you think that this behavior will only bring shame to Caster's knightly spirit?"
M
She was the infamous "Betrayal Witch," known for her unscrupulous methods to achieve victory.
Despicable? Shameful? How much is that worth? As long as she could win, she didn't care what means she used.
