A crimson light was all she saw.

Without any warning, the shot goes straight into Saber position cutting through the air and space in a straight line with a bright red color trailing behind it.

The sky in front of Saber was filled with a color as red as blood while Hrunting moved in a supersonic speed that almost reaching Mach 10, in a matter of seconds the arrow had reached in front of Saber. A sense of dread filled her as the projectile coming closer to her.

Instinctively she felt the need to move out of the way, but unfortunately she can't. How can she moved knowing that behind her, her master is vulnerable to Berserkers attack. The sound of wind shredded comes even closer while Saber stare intently at the coming attack.

No! Now is not the time to get distracted, if she wanted to protect her master and survive herself she needed to do something!

Lowering her knees to get into a ready stance, Saber prepared her sword at her side, power was gathering into her lithe body as wind is gathering into her presence, ready to be unleashed.

Now, all she needed was the right timing, looking at the coming arrow, Saber prepared to strike.

!

Now, strike!

A bursting roar come out, the sound of air collapsing in the air can be heard, deafening those that hear it. If Saber was not a servant it would be a dangerous situation for her.

Unfortunately, she doesn't have the time to think for now.

While Saber managed to block the arrow shot at her, it does not mean that she stopped it. Unfortunately, Berserker's Noble Phantasms did not lose their lethality simply because they were blocked.

That's right, even though Saber had blocked the shot, the arrow keep pushing away at her. The shot was heavy, Saber felt as if she is push by a meteorite as she gritted her teeth while trying to overpowered the attack. Her heels is digging deep into the ground due to the force of the attack she blocked.

"Haa!!" Saber shouted.

In a burst of magical energy Saber finally overpowered the arrow, with a shout she finally managed to throw the arrow to the side in two pieces. While the pieces is thrown away, the magical energy stored inside of them is detonated in a large explosion.

BOOM!

Its destructive power was enormous, even Saber couldn't help but flinch at the explosive power of this shot. The road surface was blown up like it was hit with an explosive blast, and the scene was shrouded by the dust of the asphalt pulverized into particles, unintentionally covering Saber vision.

Before Saber could even breathe in relief, her instincts forces her nerves to stand ready. A second later, the second arrows pierce the smoke cover and flies towards her face with more power packed inside it.

Gritting her teeth, Saber get into another stance to recieve the attack.

Watching Hrunting goes straight into it's target, Berserker frowned for a second after seeing Saber master, before his expression turned neutral. Berserker truly intent to kill Saber, without even seeing the result of his first attempt he's already take the second arrows at his side, filled it with energy and shoot it towards Saber, ignoring her master - Kiritsugu - who is currently hiding in the alley near her.

This is not a conscious decision, for some reason Berserker felt hesitate to harm this particular man. Despite having a clear sight of the man taking cover behind a building, Berserker felt no desire or intent to snipe him.

The problem was, for some reason, everytime Berserker saw Saber master he felt intense irritation and annoyance as if the man presence offended him beyond reason. But, at the same time, despite his ill feelings for the man he had no desire to harm him.

Such contradicting reaction confuses Berserker, and unfortunately he had no idea what caused such feelings, so he double down on Saber instead.

After all, he can always ask the man himself as to why he felt such reaction from his presence after he killed Saber and captured him.

The sword-arrow in his hand glowed crimson red as Berserker filled it with energy, before aiming at his target.

Reaching for the third arrow in his hand, Berserker shot it at his target.

First thing first, get rid of Saber.

On the other hand things wasn't great for Saber.

Granted, her situation is already bad in the first place.

With Berserker managed to gain the upper hand in initiative, position, and other things.

At the current situation she wasn't sure she can protect herself mush less her own master.

Facing the coming shot was not easy for Saber due to her unable to recover her stable stance after parrying the first arrow. So, now she must block the second attack with less stable footing and balance. And as she expected blocking the second wave is harder than the first one.

When her sword met the arrow, Saber couldn't help but marvel at the shot. Somehow the second shot was heavier than the first one, she attributed it to her unsteady stance, once again her legs digs deep into the ground from the sheer force.

Gritting her teeth Saber gather power to her arms and throw the arrows away from her, it exploded as it meets with the walls of a building, demolishing part of the structure. A testament of its power.

Boom!

Yet, just as Saber managed to throw the second shot, the third shot was coming at her immediately afterwards, not giving her any time to breathe.

Like a hammer from the heavens, a shot of magical power fell from the top, dispersing the dust and speeding towards Saber. Racing at impossible speed and glowing bright crimson with an abundance of magical energy it contained through, the arrow crashed into the Saber with all the might of a meteorite.

And once again Saber pumped her body with mana to face this assault with all of her strength.

The might of the attack slightly pushed her backwards, but Saber accepted it before pushing out with equal force.

Boom!

The third arrow is thrown to another side, and with it another explosion of magical energy occurred.

Now, Saber started to feel the strain of facing such attacks multiple times, her muscles began to ache, a feeling fatigued and sore had finally reached her mind.

Unfortunately for her, Berserker didn't relent in his attack, with the fourth shot already shot from his bow and flying straight at her.

Readying herself Saber met the shot head on, and was punished for it.

Her joints, especially in the wrists, elbows, and shoulders, were under immense strain, threatening to give way under the pressure. With each passing moment, stiffness set in, limiting her range of motion and serving as a constant reminder of the physical toll taken to block this attack.

Yet, still she pushed herself to face this attack!

With a powerful swing she throw the fourth arrow away from her, creating another explosion from it.

Boom!

But, due to the momentum of her swing, Saber goes out of balance and stumble to the ground in her place.

Now on her knees, Saber could only looked up in despair as another crimson light of destruction flying straight at her being.

Thankfully, someone else already take an action for her.

"By the power of this command seal, I command Saber to..."

Kiritsugu was by all means shivering in his hidden spot.

With how close he was to death embrace, such reaction was normal for a human. If it wasn't for Saber quick reaction he would be done for, right then and there.

In fact, even now Saber was still protecting him from Berserker's projectile shot at them. Yes, even Kiritsugu notices that everytime Saber parried the arrows she always make sure to throw it away from him. As expected from a king of the knight her foresight even in this situation is superb.

Still it doesn't change the reality of their situation.

Wave after wave keep coming at their location, the crimson light that promises destruction, no matter how many times Saber defended against it more just keep coming. It was only a matter of time until Saber get overwhelmed and defeated, to prevent that its up to him the master to take an action and turned the table.

And thus, with a shudder, Kiritsugu looked upon the battlefield to analyze a way to victory.

The first thing he notices was the source of the arrow, it wasn't hard to notices the attacks were coming from the highest point of Fuyuki city, the question is how to get there?

Clearly walking there is not an option, Berserker wouldn't allow it happen, that means his option is, teleportation? Looking at the command seal on his hand, Kiritsugu consider his option before changing his mind. Teleportation is a good way to corner Berserker, but it will leave him defenseless, even if Saber managed to get Berserker by teleporting to his blind side, it meant little if Berserker attack hit him instead.

Kiritsugu had no doubt about his survival chances if Berserker attack hit him, none.

There must be another way to corner Berserker without leaving him defenseless, but how?

Unfortunately for Kiritsugu he had run out of time as he saw Saber fall to her knees and another arrow is flying towards her.

Panic started to take over Kiritsugus mind, if Saber were to fall then not only his battle for the Holy Grail ended even his life might not be safe anymore.

Yet, as panic spread to his mind, an idea started to appear in his mind.

Flying?

In his haste to salvage the situation, Kiritsugu immediately use his command seal to order Saber with such absurd command.

"By the power of this command seal, I order Saber to..."

"...Fly towards Berserker!!"

Just as Kiritsugu finished his command, wind started gathering around Saber lithe body.

Hearing her master command and feeling power course through her body Saber uses all of her might to push herself out of the ground.

A roaring sound was heard as Saber jump into the sky with a push of her leg, flying straight into the crimson light blocking its path.

But Saber wasn't worried whatsoever, with the speed she's flying and her natural strength dealing with a projectile wasn't a problem anymore, a well time strike is all she needed.

In the first place, her dire situation was caused by her lack of ability ot counterattack Berserker multiples long range assault. But now, the situation has been reversed.

As she is closing towards the arrow, Saber timed her strike and repel the shot by cutting it into two, the remains exploded mid-air before they even touch the ground.

Boom!

Boom!

Now, nothing is in Saber path towards Berserker, readying her sword she is prepared to ended this battle right here right now.

Of course, the sight of Saber flying straight to him, didn't escape Berserker eyes. Saber blatant attempt to end the war could be felt even from his position, snorting, Berserker dismiss his bow and put out his right hand.

Power is gathering in his right hand as he called out his next move.

"Rho Aias."
