Diarmuid of the Radiant Face.
Compared to the highly renowned King Arthur, his fame was naturally much lower.
Therefore, his appearance did not elicit the same level of disbelief from the masses as Saber's did.
However, many people were still curious as to what kind of existence could injure the legendary Once and Future King in combat.
Conan Edogawa: "Diarmuid Ua Duibhne. In Celtic mythology, a peerless warrior raised by the gods of love and the sea, and the foremost champion of the Knights of Fianna in Ireland."
L: "Though his renown does not match King Arthur's, he is still a knight of considerable prestige in history."
Eriri Spencer Sawamura: "I'm still curious, is he actually stronger than King Arthur?"
Hachiman Hikigaya: "It's not that he's stronger, but that King Arthur was too impulsive. Otherwise, Diarmuid wouldn't have defeated her so easily."
Yukino Yukinoshita: "Although it feels wrong to say this... this King Arthur is completely inconsistent with her legend... It's as if... as if she's just a little girl acting without any thought for the consequences."
Yukino Yukinoshita's comment hit the nail on the head. Indeed, Saber's actions had been too impulsive, completely unlike the conduct expected of a king.
So... was the truth really as Yukino had said?

[In the video, Lancer listened to Saber's words, chuckled, and said, "No, the honor should be mine. Anyone who has transcended time and ascended to the Throne of Heroes would not fail to recognize that Sword of Gold."
"To be able to cross swords with the world-renowned Knight King, and even to have given you some trouble, it seems I have some skill after all."
But Saber revealed a smile. "Given me some trouble, you say?"
Lancer was taken aback, not understanding why Saber would say such a thing. In his view, the situation was already clear; Saber had already lost this battle.
At that moment, Saber nonchalantly moved closer to Irisviel and touched Irisviel's body with her injured hand. In the next instant...
A miraculous power within Irisviel took effect. The curse on Saber's wrist was instantly purged, and the wound healed rapidly.
This scene astonished everyone, including Irisviel who had been touched.
An expression of disbelief appeared on Lancer's face. He was supremely confident in his Noble Phantasm. Logically speaking, it was impossible for Saber's wrist to heal so easily.
Witnessing all this, Elysia spoke with pleasant surprise, "Oh, so that's how the scabbard is used?"
She had arrived... the true protagonist had made her entrance. Having observed the entire battle from the start, her eyes constantly fixed on Irisviel, Elysia now decided she would no longer remain a mere bystander.
"...The scabbard?" Diarmuid was momentarily stunned. The scabbard... that's right. No matter what, Saber was the legendary Once and Future King.
And the scabbard of that golden holy sword would naturally also be a type of Noble Phantasm. That scabbard... was it a healing-type Noble Phantasm?
"...You... How did you..." How did you know Saber's scabbard was inside my body?
It would be one thing for Saber to know, as the scabbard belonged to her. Moreover... she and Kiritsugu had used that very scabbard as a catalyst to summon Saber.
And over the past few days, she and Saber had been in frequent contact, so it was normal for Saber to know the scabbard was with her. But how did Elysia know?
Faced with Irisviel's questioning gaze, Elysia gave a mysterious smile. "Hehe~ It's a bit of fey magic, you know~"
In truth... from the very beginning, the first time Elysia saw Irisviel, she had sensed the object shaped like a scabbard inside her body.
No matter how you looked at it, she was the Second of the Flame-Chasers, a warrior whose abilities rivaled Kevin's. If she couldn't even detect something special about an ordinary person, she would be far too much of a failure.
Why would an 'ordinary person' have such a magical scabbard inside her body?
In her own world, all powerful weapons, such as the Divine Keys, were forged based on Honkai Energy. Yet, she had not sensed any trace of Honkai Energy in this world. The power enveloping that scabbard was definitely not the Honkai Energy she was familiar with.
Combined with the fluctuations of magical energy produced when Saber and Lancer fought, Elysia had grown curious about the wondrous powers of this world.
"Fey magic?"
Saber was no stranger to the fey. In the era she came from, fey were not uncommon creatures. The Knights of the Round Table even had many indescribable connections with them.
But... that was in her era. In a modern city, a Phantasmal Species like the fey should have completely vanished.
However, to be able to sense her scabbard so easily, and with those fey-like ears... could it be... she was truly a fey?]

Utaha Kasumigaoka: "A reversal! A reversal! I knew it! King Arthur shouldn't be some brute who relies only on hot-blooded courage."
Conan Edogawa: "I thought the epic of King Arthur was just mythological exaggeration, but now it seems it was real. Still, to be able to place a scabbard inside a person's body is truly magical. Is this also an effect of magecraft?"
Kiana Kaslana: "Whoa! Mei, look! Elysia really is a fey!"
Raiden Mei: "I thought 'fey' was just a descriptor, but... that King Arthur has actually seen a fey before? Aren't they just legends?"
Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Phantasmal Species have been gone for millennia. To think one could see a legendary Phantasmal Species again in modern society."
With Elysia's self-proclamation and King Arthur's speculation, the comment section once again lit up with activity. Speaking of which, the protagonist of this video was supposed to be this fey maiden.
It was just that... everyone now seemed to be completely captivated by the Holy Grail War and King Arthur's heroic figure.
Phantasmal Species... in many worlds, such races existed. However... not every world could accept the existence of such a race.
Riku Dola: "The Fey-kind... are they also a race created by the Old Deus?"
Eren Yeager: "She's not even human..."
Kurumi Tokisaki: "Ara, ara. To think that a race similar to Spirits exists in other worlds as well?"
Kevin Kaslana: "..."
Elysia is a fey? Since when? And the key point is, so many people actually believe it.
It would be more believable if you said she was a Herrscher. But to say she's a fey... aside from the pointed ears left over from the MANTIS surgery, there isn't a single thing about her that resembles a fey.
However... in truth, that person, Elysia, probably enjoys being called a fey, doesn't she? After all, that's just the kind of girl she is.
In many legends, fey were a race that resembled humans, with long, beautiful ears. Coupled with a mischievous personality and actions that were always unexpected...
Elysia naturally loved it when people called her a fey.
