Chapter 877: Rin: Is Night City Really Human?
Chapter 877: Rin: Is Night City Really Human?
"Are we really going to collaborate with them? Don't forget that the last time we were here, we almost didn't make it back."
After the battle at the Einzbern residence, Shirou Emiya and his companions held a brief strategy meeting.
In the current Holy Grail War, there were essentially only three factions left: Kiritsugu Emiya's faction, the Einbern Clan, and the three of them.
Since they were unaware that Gilgamesh had been defeated by Night City, Rin Faruzuki and her group still considered Kiritsugu Emiya and the Church to be the most formidable force.
Next in line was Night City's faction, which included the Heroic Spirits Medea and Medusa, and Night City's own formidable power. They were fully qualified to compete with Kiritsugu Emiya's group.
Lastly, there was their own group. How should they put it? If the Heroic Spirit Emiya hadn't been defeated, they would also have the qualifications to stand alongside Night City in a three-way stalemate.
But now... Saber, having regained her former glory as a King with all A-rank attributes, was incredibly powerful. Even during the Heroic Spirit Emiya's temporary appearance, Saber had taken the scabbard of the sword of the promised victory, Excalibur, from Shirou Emiya. This was an EX-rank Noble Phantasm—Avalon.
With perfect ability parameters and a powerful Noble Phantasm, Saber was well-rounded and nearly flawless, even surpassing previous levels of strength.
In Rin Faruzuki's opinion, even if the current Saber were to face the great hero Hercules, her chances of victory would be considerable.
Defeating the traitorous witch Medea and the mythical monster Medusa in a one-versus-two battle was not impossible.
However, Saber, having regained her memories from the Fourth Holy Grail War, was well aware of the situation. Admittedly, her current strength far surpassed that of her past self, and if placed in a previous Holy Grail War, victory would have been all but guaranteed.
But this time was different, and they would not discuss the unknown Heroic Spirit summoned.
Saber was well aware that the truly formidable opponent was not the Heroic Spirit summoned in this Holy Grail War but Night City himself, who was not a Heroic Spirit yet far surpassed them in strength, and Gilgamesh, the greatest cheater in the Holy Grail Wars, having survived the previous war.
The former was almost unfathomable, and Saber felt that if Night City were to get serious, he could even take on more than five Heroic Spirits single-handedly.
As for Gilgamesh, Saber believed she could defeat him after finding 'Avalon.' However, she also understood that the current Gilgamesh with a physical body was entirely different from his previous Heroic Spirit state.
After much hesitation, Saber still suggested that Shirou Emiya and Rin Faruzuki seek cooperation with Night City.
Only with Night City's power did they have a chance to defeat the formidable Gilgamesh and the unknown Heroic Spirit.
After dealing with the threat of Kiritsugu Emiya's faction, they and Night City would be on the same side in their desire to destroy the Holy Grail.
If the traitorous witches still wanted to resist, Saber believed that suppressing Medea and Medusa with her and Night City's strength would be a breeze.
It was because of Saber's suggestion that they returned to the Einbern Mansion. However, before entering the Einbern Clan's territory, Shirou Emiya couldn't help but express his concerns.
After all, during their last visit to the Einbern Clan, Rin Faruzuki had confidently assured him that there wouldn't be any problems, even claiming that Sakura Einbern was her sister.
(End of Chapter)And so, what was the final result? If it weren't for the sudden intrusion of Hercules, they almost couldn't have returned that day!
"Don't worry, there's definitely no problem this time. If Night God Yecheng is here, he will definitely restrain the witches," said Saber.
Upon hearing Saber's words, Rin Tohsaka and Shirou Emiya couldn't help but feel curious. Ever since Saber regained her memories, she seemed to highly regard a magician named Night God Yecheng.
Seeing the curious gazes of the two, Saber did not hide anything and began to recount some of her experiences from the Fourth Holy Grail War.
After listening to Saber's story, Shirou and Rin were utterly astonished. They also understood why even the powerful Saber of the present considered Night God Yecheng a formidable opponent.
Disguised as a human, he fought against multiple Heroic Spirits in the first battle and emerged victorious.
During the decisive battle, he relied solely on his physical strength to defeat tens of thousands of Heroic Spirit soldiers. With his martial arts prowess, he directly crushed the legendary Radiant Form and repeatedly overwhelmed the Most Ancient King, a human. Even the familiar he summoned casually was of the mythical beast level.
Moreover, in addition to his formidable strength, this magician named Night God Yecheng possessed an exceptionally vast knowledge.

After hearing about Night God Yecheng's deeds from Saber, Rin Tohsaka and Shirou Emiya, the two young ones, couldn't close their mouths in astonishment.
Shirou Emiya was slightly better off, as he had some exposure to the magic world and had been drawn into the Holy Grail War not long ago. Although he felt that Night God Yecheng's accomplishments were impressive, he didn't have a deep sense of how remarkable they truly were.
However, Rin Tohsaka was different. Born into a family of magicians and hailed as a genius, she was well aware of how outrageous Night God Yecheng's achievements.
At this moment, she blurted out, "Are you sure the Night God Yecheng you're talking about is a human and not some god's offspring? No... We seem to have met him before, although we knew he wasn't an ordinary person, I never imagined he would be such an extraordinary existence!"
Indeed, Rin Tohsaka had not seen Night God Yecheng during the Fourth Holy Grail War, but they had encountered him before.
It was when they were fighting against Berserker; Night God Yecheng happened to pass by.
Later, they specifically visited Night God Yecheng. To be honest, at that time, Rin still thought he was just a skilled gamer. But she never expected that during the Holy Grail War ten years ago, Night God Yecheng would shine so brightly!
As they walked and talked, they eventually reached the gate of the Einbern Clan. It was still Rin Tohsaka who stepped forward to knock on the door.
After learning from Saber about the experiences Sakura had endured within the Einbern Clan, Rin Tohsaka felt even more guilty towards Sakura.
