At this moment, Kotomine Kirei's sudden appearance shocked everyone present except for Tia and Lancelot.
No one could have imagined that Kotomine Kirei, a human, could still be alive after being hit by Gilgamesh's treasures. Upon hearing the reason why Kotomine Kirei was still alive, everyone's faces became even more unpleasant.
At this time, Lancelot took the initiative to step forward.
After all, Lancelot and Tia had personally purified the evil of this world, so purifying Kotomine Kirei here was not a problem at all.
And so...
"Kotomine Kirei, do you think you can fight me now?" Lancelot said, while also starting to gather an arrow in his hand.
"Of course not, I believe I could never be a match for the Knight of the Lake. Therefore, I specifically chose someone as your opponent," Kotomine Kirei said. Then, Cú Chulainn suddenly appeared. In the next moment, the Gáe Bolg, the spear that pierces with death, appeared in Cú Chulainn's hand. The treasure effect attached to the spear, the beast that devours and shatters life, was also activated, and Cú Chulainn transformed into a black dog.
"Come, Knight of the Lake," the black dog said to Lancelot, "One-on-one, this time I won't lose to you!"
With that, the black dog attacked Lancelot.
Lancelot didn't have time to finish forming the purification arrow, and was forced to summon his Arondight, the "unfading light of the lake", and began fighting the black dog.
Unfortunately, battles in the Holy Grail War are never fair one-on-one fights.
"Berserker! Go! Crush him!" Illya ordered Heracles to attack without hesitation.
Just at that moment, Kotomine Kirei suddenly attacked Heracles.
With a bang, Kotomine Kirei was knocked away by Heracles in an instant and slammed heavily into the wall.
"Hmph! Kotomine Kirei, did you think that just because you were tainted by the mud and are no longer human, you could deal with my Berserker?" Illya snorted coldly.
"Yes, I naturally cannot be a match for Heracles, but..." Kotomine Kirei said, a strange smile appearing on his face.
At that moment, a magic circle suddenly appeared under Sieg's feet.
"Cú Chulainn! Retreat!" Kotomine Kirei shouted. In the next moment, Kotomine Kirei disappeared first.
Immediately afterwards, Cú Chulainn also used the force of Lancelot's attack to make himself fly away, landing right into the magic circle under Sieg's feet.
In the next moment, the magic circle took Sieg and Cú Chulainn away together.
"Long-range teleportation magic circle!" Illya exclaimed.
"They actually have this ability! Who did it!" Irisviel said in disbelief.
"They shouldn't have this kind of ability, this is almost magic," Emiya Kiritsugu said.
However, Tia had a bad feeling in her heart at this moment. This kind of long-range teleportation magic circle, there was someone who could indeed do it, and that was Medea. But Medea should have died in the magic blast.
However, even Kotomine Kirei had been resurrected, so it was hard to say that Medea hadn't died as well...
Tia's face immediately turned ugly.
"It seems that it must have been done by that Medea," Lancelot said directly at this time. "I knew she might not be dead. After all, during the previous treasure attack, I had a feeling that after the magic blast hit the target, the target wasn't gradually destroyed by the blast, but suddenly disappeared in the blast."
Tia was stunned: "How didn't I sense that?"
"Master, after all, you haven't personally fought, it's normal not to sense it," Lancelot said.
Tia pouted.
"Medea isn't dead either?" Emiya Kiritsugu frowned. "No wonder, but shouldn't she be Rider? With the Hundred-Headed Dragon, why is her magic level still so high? This level of magic is basically on par with Caster. The Matou Family's Caster is probably no match at all."
Yes, if only Medea's magic level was considered, Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald definitely wasn't a match. What's more, Medea also had a Hundred-Headed Dragon.
Now, the two great generals that they thought they had lost had actually restored their strongest combat power to them.
But there was no need to worry. In the first battle before, they were completely crushed by them and were completely no match. They wouldn't be able to defeat them later either.
However...
Tia suddenly felt a little worried.
To be honest, the strongest fighters on their side are actually all here. Apart from Red Archer having some strength, the two from the Matou Family are just dead weight. In this Holy Grail War, they can't really do much for them. It's only that they managed to hold off Black Dog before, but Black Dog still got knocked away with his treasure attack.
What if they suddenly attacked the Matou Family?
Tia thought to herself, but didn't say it out loud, because Tia was worried that if she said it, everyone would take action, which would be like alerting the enemy. Maybe they wouldn't attack the Matou Family, and instead attack the Tohsaka Family, which would be a big problem.
Therefore, Tia didn't say anything, and that was how the night went.
Everyone went back to rest without saying anything.
As for Tia and Lancelot...
"What's wrong? Aren't you going to rest?" Emiya Kiritsugu said.
"It's okay... I can meditate," Tia said.
"Alright, let's go to sleep too. If you want to meditate, you should go back to your room to meditate," Emiya Kiritsugu said, "Let's go."
With that, Emiya Kiritsugu led the way.
Tia kept her head down, pretending to be meditating, but in reality, she had no idea which room was hers.
Suddenly, Tia bumped into Emiya Kiritsugu.
"Shirou, you've arrived at your room, wake up, stop meditating," Emiya Kiritsugu said.
Tia pretended to wake up.
"Oh..." Tia nodded and went back to her room.
"Phew~~" Tia sighed in relief.
She had finally completely fooled them.
Tia thought to herself.
"Master, what's next? When will we secretly go to the Matou Family?" Lancelot said in Tia's mind.
"Wait a minute, I'm still planning to talk to Heracles," Tia also said to Lancelot in her mind.
"Is that so? Are you planning to have Heracles join us too? He's not very easy to hide," Lancelot said, "He's too big."
"No, I want to go to him to learn the Demon Hunting Flame Blade, so I can unlock the next Holy Sword seal."
"That's right, the Demon Hunting Flame Blade is related to him."
And so, Tia and Lancelot rested for a while and then came out again.
However, this time, Lancelot entered Tia's body, and Tia was covered with a cloak of invisibility, so no one could detect that Tia had left the room.
