Barrel Tower Battle

I'm picking up lots of enemies throughout the tower! Hornets, Coloraturas, and even Super Chimeras!

Heh, that sort of thing isn't even going to slow us down anymore!

On the contrary, if we let our guard down we could die very easily. Remember the difference in numbers!

I know that!

Here we go, Master. We're about to climb the tower. I trust you're ready!

Good. ...Then let's be on our way!

Hahaha, how reassuring!

By the way Altria, I should remind you that Fujimaru is MY chum, so I'd appreciate you letting go of him!

？！

I'm detecting a Servant behind you.

It's definitely Emiya Alter! I can tell from its Spirit Origin pattern!

Damn! The Archer...! I'll hold him off. You two keep going!

...Hm? Hang on, he's not moving at all.

What's going on?

I'm not totally sure why, but I recommend you keep going straight up the Barrel!

...Hmm. Well, let's keep going. We certainly don't want to find ourselves surrounded!

Here comes the next group of enemies! They seem to have a similar Spirit Origin to the King Lears...

Wait, what!? Something a like King Lear...here, in this narrow tower!?

Ugh, fine! We'll just have to fight them as carefully as we can. Come, Master, let us see this through!

It matters not who we face. Our task remains the same...!

I am Macbeth! Before me, none can stand!

And yet tomorrow and tomorrow I am doomed to see the way to dusty death!

It calls itself Macbeth! And it's obviously very confused!

S-still, he may be the same type as a King Lear! Be careful, Master!

He can't be invincible all the time! Good luck!

Well, he wasn't exactly weak...but overall, rather unimpressive!

Between old Mac-B and the star-crossed lovers, it sure feels like they're cranking these things out.

It may have been difficult to get Macbeth just right, since he actually existed and could have appeared as a Heroic Spirit.

Lucky for us that Shakespeare guy is such a hack! Hahaha!

Is it just me, or was that thing an amalgamation of pure malice!?

Shakespeare IS a rather classic example of a writer in love with his own work.

If you want to insult someone like that, you'd better be prepared for him to hate you forever!

Incidentally, Hans Christian Andersen is nothing like that.

He's not in love with his own work. Instead, he uses his work to express how he wishes the world was.

You can see that in the affection he shows toward Fujimaru.

Shakespeare may think highly of you, but only because he thinks you'll inspire great new stories.

He dearly loves anything out of the ordinary, be it tragedy or comedy.

Whereas Andersen helps you, even reluctantly, because you remind him of the ideals he held while writing his stories back when he was alive.

He may hate the world, its people, and even himself, but he can't completely give up what love he still has.

Even though they may both be looking at Fujimaru, they see very different things.

I see. ...By the way, Da Vinci.

?

Master and the others are about to fight again, so make sure you back them up right away!

Oh, right. My bad.

？！

Ha ha, sorry about that. I guess I got a little carried away.

Before, he would have ...You know what, never mind.

...At any rate, according to your coordinates, you're almost at the top floor.

I'm detecting Servants there too. Please be careful, Master!
