Artoria charged, her invisible sword flashing in the moonlight. Shiro barely had time to react, drawing his own spear and leaping to meet her.

For a moment, it seemed like time itself had stopped. Then, Artoria disengaged, her sword vanishing into thin air. Shiro stood panting, his chest heaving with exertion.
The outcome of the battle was far from certain, but one thing was clear: Shiro had met his match in Artoria Pendragon.
Artoria's thoughts turned inward, her mind reaching out to Illyasviel. "Master, I request that you allow me to unleash my full power in battle," she said, her voice clear in Illyasviel's mind.
Illyasviel's expression turned hesitant, her eyes narrowing slightly. "Artoria, I'm not sure... If you unleash your full power, it could reveal your true identity," she said, her voice cautious.
Artoria's determination remained unwavering. "I understand the risks, Master. But I believe it's necessary if I'm to defeat this opponent."
