Arturia let out a yelled "Very well!" in response to her Master's message, her voice carrying over the din of battle as her sword cut cleanly through a wolf's flank, sending it to the ground with its legs kicking. It wouldn't be much further before they reached the enemy Lancer! Defeating her before that black corruption spread even further was absolutely necessary, and so that was the chief goal on the blonde knight's mind. Another wolf leaped at her, but she stepped back and caught it between its jaws with the edge of her blade, hacking the top of its head off of its body in a single stroke and letting its bleeding corpse hit the ground behind her, hard, crimson staining the white snow. It wouldn't be much further now, and Siegfried had joined her!

But before he could finish his suggestion, he was forced to defend himself from the sudden strike of a brilliant spear! Immediately, Arturia's eyes traveled to the source of thrown weapon... and given how the attacker addressed the crazed Lancer, and the appearance of the girls in the air, there was now doubt in the nature of the many Servants before them.

Valkyries.

However, not a single one of them seemed to exhibit any kind of corruption. They were speaking without madness, as well. In that case...

"The Elder Sister you speak of," Saber began, stepping forward, "Is not herself. Her body and mind are being corrupted by some kind of dark influence. Do you truly wish to allow her to be debased like this?"

If she could convince them to stand down, they could push forward to the real threat!

In an instant, her undead giant had been annihilated.

Skuld's eyes widened. Their enemies... the undead had been completely purged, but the girls filling the air couldn't be mistaken for anything else. This was dozens and dozens of valkyries, a massive swarm of them. There was no question of it. There was nothing that her undead could do to an army of valkyries. Even most of her spells couldn't touch them! The ones that could took an insurance that she wouldn't be targeted while casting them... Even with the use of divine words, it wouldn't be so fast that they couldn't respond. Why... why did it have to be such a huge swarm of valkyries!? Fighting off enemies like that...!

"... Aaah... d-damn it, this isn't fair! Master!" Caster almost immediately turned to the man, "This isn't fair! It's not fair at all!"
