Whether it was confusion around the value of the question itself or her masters intent, it was pretty hard to tell. It wasn't as if Caster herself was a Magus, even if she had the general fundamentals more or less expanded within this container. She had been relying on Merlin this entire time, and she imagined her true instruction would begin whenever it was time to sleep. [color=#c0c0c0][i]". . .You are wrong.

[/color][/i] Artoria immediately cut off the thought as her scouting familiars were killed by an overwhelming pressure she could feel through their shared link. It was enough to stop her for a moment, though in truth that was more in reaction to enemies. It certainly hadn't been magecraft. An enemy ability or Noble Phantasm, then? It wouldn't make a difference to her either way. Without any hesitation, she increased her own resistance against mental attacks with a spell. Whatever it was, her own abilities had limited the effects greatly. There was no telling what it could do to someone else, though. Caster took a brief moment to direct her Master to a safe hiding spot, then moved on her own to confront their opponents. A powerful aura ability like that was dangerous for even an experienced Magus. Until its limitations and nature were verified, she couldn't risk exposure for Charlie. However, she wasn't going to obstruct them from fighting; there was something abnormal about Casters Master. Her contemplation only lasted for the briefest moments before she crossed the short distance left required to reach Tokyo Tower. While traveling she prepared self targeted spells to improve her overall speed, for flight, and to create a flexible barrier of wind around herself. When she finally did arrive, Caster made sure to extend a larger barrier around the park to discourage any attention. The area was dominated by a small park full of trees. Obstructions like that would be a terrain advantage to consider in the coming battle, and concealment would be a lot simpler. She had initially worried that this area would've been open ground for an Archer to snipe into, but that would probably only be an issue if Caster committed to aerial combat. The Holy Grail War was full of oddities, however. She would have to be on guard for the likes of Archer or Assassin interfering. [i][color=#c0c0c0]"Master. For now, just watch through our link. The [b]opponents ability is too dangerous[/b] for your fighting style."[/color][/i] When she finally reached the scene, a battle between two opponents had already begun. This was a struggle between a Tyrant with an overwhelming aura and a pure white Knight. In other words in front of her were two superb opponents. Rather than attacking from the shadows, she elected to reveal herself whilst conjuring up a contingent of Men-At-Arms to her front. Archers were positioned to her sides and back(with a clear line of exit behind herself), and for now she elected to not use aerial combat.

The male opponent was obviously a King, and most likely a Tyrant at that. The pure Knight was a different story, but she had clearly pushed him onto the defensive. With just the tiny demonstration she had been shown, Artoria was already impressed by both. But then again, this was the Holy Grail War. Perhaps all of her opponents would be this majestic. For a few precious moments, she watched their exchange of blows. If neither had a word to speak in that time, she would doubtless begin her attack. It would've been nice if she could've spoken with them, but introductions were a luxury in mortal combat. Moments later, she unleashed a ray of searing blue light from her scepter directed at both Saber and Berserker. It was a mere probing attack and wouldn't do a great amount of damage, but it would test their magical resistance. After that, the real battle could begin. More importantly it would work well with her archers to suppress an enemy charge.
