In Fate/stay night season 1 episode 11, titled "Blood Fort Andromeda," Shirou and Saber continue their fight against Caster and her summoned Servant, Assassin. However, Caster has a new trick up her sleeve as she activates her Noble Phantasm, Blood Fort Andromeda, a powerful magic circle that drains the blood of all living beings in its vicinity to replenish Caster's mana.
As the bloodbath begins, Shirou and Saber are forced to dodge and defend against the spells and attacks of their powerful opponents. Meanwhile, Rin and Archer are on their way to the battlefield to assist Shirou, but they are intercepted by Kuzuki, Caster's Master. The two engage in a battle of their own, with Rin struggling to keep up against Kuzuki's incredible strength and skill.
Back at the blood fort, Shirou is injured and Saber's mana is depleted, leaving them both vulnerable to Caster and Assassin's attacks. In a desperate move, Shirou uses a Command Seal to order Saber to perform an all-out attack on Caster, hoping it will be enough to defeat her and end the blood fort's influence. Saber obliges and unleashes a devastating attack, but it is not enough to defeat Caster.
Just when all seems lost, Rin and Archer arrive on the scene and launch a surprise attack on Caster and Assassin, catching them off-guard. With Rin's powerful spells and Archer's deadly accuracy, they are able to turn the tide of the battle and ultimately defeat Caster and her Servant.
However, their victory comes with a steep price. The blood fort's influence has taken a toll on Shirou and Saber's bodies, leaving them both severely weakened and on the brink of death. Rin and Archer race to their side and use their magic to heal their injuries and save their lives.
As the episode comes to a close, Shirou reflects on the events of the battle and realizes just how much he has to learn and grow if he hopes to survive the Holy Grail War. With only a few Servants and Masters remaining, the competition is more intense than ever, and Shirou knows that the real battles are yet to come.
