Stray Chapter 29: Catch the turtle in the urn
Saber is not a blunt person. She had doubts before, and now she follows her instincts and confirms that the black knight in front of her is definitely someone she knows.
Or someone who knew her!
Whether it was a short battle in the waterfront park before, or it has been proved now, the thrust she just made was of course not perfect. The posture, speed, and timing were all perfect.
But as a Saber class Servant, this is definitely a sword in line with strength, even if it is a hasty attack.
However, this black knight doesn't care at all. This is not only a matter of martial arts, but it seems that the other party has directly seen through the blade trajectory within the invisible wind king barrier. Saber's holy sword has always been bound by the wind king. protected by the world.
By wrapping several layers of wind and changing the refractive index of the light to cover the enchantment of the sword body, it cannot enhance the attack power, and through this enchantment, the enemy can't recognize the sword move at all. distance and orbit to attack.
At least at first sight, this Noble Phantasm similar to magic would give Saber an advantage, but all of this would no longer exist in front of the black knight in front of him.
If the opponent is not able to see through the wind king's barrier, then he knows everything from the shape to the length of Saber's oath victory.
Artoria suspected it was the latter, which meant that the other party knew her before becoming a Heroic Spirit. She had a cold war because of this terrible thought, and doubts that could not be ignored once again surged in her heart.
Because there are many candidates selected based on such conditions, but their identities are very sensitive... The biggest possibility is that the other party used to be a knight of the round table under her command. Only in this way can it be possible to use her weapon against her. And fighting styles so know.
“urrrrrrrr!!”
It seems that because of the enemy's questioning, the body of the black knight paused slightly, but then he let out a roar without any specific meaning, and the machine guns in both hands sprayed the flame of red lotus again! Aber can only put the shock and anger in his heart behind him, and raise the invisible sword in his hand to face it.
……
……
At this time, laner has left the battlefield in the courtyard, and he did not win the honor of laning with beerker, because it is obvious that beerker chose saber as his opponent.
From the beginning, the hail of bullets was mainly chasing after Saber, and Laner was only affected by the side...
So he is also very decisive. When Saber took the initiative to reverse the offensive to entangle with the Black Knight, he made a breakthrough from the side and rushed into the building deep in Liudong Temple very easily.
The furious black knight didn't pay attention to him at all. A shuttle of bullets passed by, and he stopped chasing when he found that he couldn't stop it.
Through the precise grasp of the breath, laner is sure that his goal is ahead. As long as he controls the two fragile masters, he can end this battle... Although it is indeed a bit unreputable, but this time he He was summoned to make up for his regrets and be loyal to the lord.
So even if Kenneth is very utilitarian, and he still doesn't believe his statement, and recently because of the problem of his fiancee Sora, there has been a clear rift between the master and the slave...
laner still hopes to do his best to help the opponent win this Holy Grail War, so this kind of thing still has to be done. He has no way to refuse, nor can he secretly delay time or something.
The next moment, however, Laner realized that he didn't need to worry about such a thing at all
"Sorry, you two! If you don't want to be hurt... just come with me."
Roughly destroying the sliding door, standing in the corridor outside the door, the two-gun laner looked at the Japanese room inside, and saw the two "Masters" hiding in Liudong Temple without any accident. He said so with a cold face.
The language is threatening, after all, this is not the time to be polite and polite.
Two calm people in the Japanese room sat opposite each other, not saying a word, as if they were not in the mood to speak at all, just waiting heavily and calmly for the battle outside to end, and then there was good news or bad news. Come in.
One of them is a woman dressed as a typical magician, wearing an indigo hooded cloak and purple robe, her true face hidden by the hood, revealing only her fair jaw.
The other is a handsome man with a long dark blue ponytail and his temples down to his collarbone. He wears a long gown and kimono.
The two masters should have known what was going on outside, but they didn't do anything. They just sat here quietly, drinking tea and waiting for the commotion outside to end.
Of course, that's not a problem, even very bold in a sense.
laner doesn't think there is anything to blame for this. After all, magicians as masters are often very fragile, and they will only play a dragging role on the battlefield where servants are fighting.
Since you can't do anything when you go out, it's better to stay in a safe place, at least it won't make it easier for the enemy to solve the problem.
laner rushed in all the way, spending mana at almost no cost, simply and rudely destroying the unknown defense and counterattack spells and enchantments set along the way, and finally came here, so overall protection Actually there is no problem.
This is indeed a safe place. As a servant, it takes him about a minute or so to be able to cross the short straight-line distance of dozens of meters, which is already a proof.
Ordinary magicians are absolutely unable to move an inch here, and it is estimated that they will die within two meters in the corridor.
It's just a pity that caster didn't come back for the time being, the deployed position was not able to play its full role, and this time the surprise attack was that he and Saber attacked Liudong Temple together.
Even if one beerker gatekeeper is left, but when it is dragged, the other one can go straight in without hindrance, and go straight to Huanglong...
Of course, thanks to the precise timing, the two Masters probably didn't expect the situation to get so bad in a short period of time, so they didn't have time to make up their minds to use the precious Command Spell and cast the caster outside directly. pull back.
After all, if the Servant is the only designated weapon in the Holy Grail War, then the Command Spell is the only trump card that controls this weapon. There are only three strokes in total. It is used once less and with the reduction of the Command Spell, the Master The hope of winning the Holy Grail War itself would also fade rapidly.
Let the Servant transfer space at a critical moment to avoid disaster...
Let the Servant instantly recharge at the critical moment and release the Noble Phantasm continuously...
A coercive order was given to the Servant at a critical moment, forcing him to do something he was unwilling to do...
What's even more extreme is that after winning the Holy Grail War, there is only one Holy Grail, but there are two Masters and Servants. Both of them want the Holy Grail, so how should they be distributed?
Then you need a Command Spell to guarantee the bottom line, and give an order like "Suicide! Laner" at a critical moment.
The Command Spell is so precious. If you don't really see a golden opportunity, or a particularly critical moment, the Master is often reluctant to use it easily, and tonight's surprise attack is based on this incident. On the basis of this, the opposing Master must not react.
At the beginning, they didn't have time to make a decisive decision and pulled the caster back directly from the outside. When they discovered the seriousness of the problem later, they would never have such a chance again
laner held two magic spears, one long and one short, in his hand, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he stared at the two masters in the Japanese room. If the two of them had any uncooperative behavior, he was ready to use them. If there is a command curse, he will shoot without hesitation.
"This is really funny... The master was very merciful, and wanted to let you live a few more days of carefree life, just live like this until the last moment, but you can't wait. Take the initiative to lead to death..."
The purple magician finally spoke, his voice seemed to be blowing through the night wind, with a hint of laziness.
"Wait, what master? Aren't you the master yourself?" The man with two brushes felt something was wrong.
The seven riders have already appeared. What master does this woman have? Is she also a Servant?
"I'm not obliged to answer your question. Maybe this boring war will end sooner because of your actions tonight..." The purple magician chuckled and looked at The man in the long gown and kimono opposite, "assassin, your shift tonight is unfortunately canceled."
assassin?
Wait, isn't assassin dead? Right in the midst of the thunderstorm that night!
laner was even more stunned, feeling that the direction of the plot was completely beyond his expectations. He also decisively swung a long spear full of murderous aura, and smashed the tatami in front of him with one foot. Shred the whole room.
The lights went out instantly, and the narrow space was suddenly plunged into darkness.
Although laner can't figure out what's going on, it's not right! There was absolutely nothing right, so a decision had to be made decisively, and the original plan could not be carried out at all.
But if he is not decisive, he intuitively feels that he is afraid that he will not even have a chance to fight back!
However, the long knives circulated, drawing a brilliant silver-white arc in the darkness.
In an instant it was a short battle, and violent sparks burst out in the air, briefly illuminating the darkness, but this was meaningless, no matter which one of the three people present did not need to rely on sparks dim light to aid vision.
As a result, Laner could see clearly, and his heart suddenly became cold.
At the critical moment, this man in a long gown and kimono picked up a long sword more than five feet from the side. The blade of the magic gun!
Is this really a servant? ! Eighth servant? !
If the purple magician next to him is not deceiving him, doesn't it mean that nine servants participated in the Holy Grail War this time?
Four of them are in Liudong Temple, and the five outside are divided into several forces to attack each other? No, there are no more five outside, the previous assassin is really confirmed to be dead.
In other words, this Holy Grail War has eight servants participating in the war, four of which belong to the same faction, and the other four belong to four different factions. ...
Nima's! Why?
How do you fight this? Who will tell him how to fight this? !
"What a disrespect, laner. Although I have no loyalty to this female fox..."
The man in the long gown and kimono said in a pleasant tone, and his voice sounded in the dark space.
"But no matter how you say it, it was she who summoned the servant, so you definitely can't let your Excellency act so blatantly in front of the servant..."
"Humph! Assassin, I don't care about your rudeness for now...but you know, I have decided to take care of this matter before the master comes back to Liudong Temple."
Being called a female fox face to face, Medea raised her eyebrows and snorted quite displeasedly
"These jumping clowns don't need the master to take action, and as a servant, it is too embarrassing to keep the master in the front all the time... Not only is I going to show it, this is also your first battle , if there is neither loyalty to the master nor proof of your worth to the master, let you disappear now."
"Oh, I'm really sorry. Although my life is as trivial as a mayfly, disappearing now will trouble me."
The swordsman sighed, but still filled with an elegant old-fashioned demeanor.
laner gritted his teeth and said nothing. The waving long spear drew a terrifying attack range, and the waving short spear frequently occupied tricky angles, and the guns in his left and right hands were perfectly matched. What kind of research is needed to learn such a powerful trick?
The air let out a nervous scream. If it wasn't for the strong defensive magic of this room, it would only be ravaged and destroyed by the frantic storm at the first time!
However, in this narrow space, such an impeccable double-gun combat technique failed to exert any effect, and was blocked by the natural flow of the long sword, which was the key to the connection of ingenious direct strikes. , disrupting the rhythm of the spearmen.
The swordsman on the opposite side is unimaginably powerful. In terms of swordsmanship alone, even facing the saber outside is at the level of crushing. If it weren't for the low parameters such as strength and speed, he would not be able to take any advantage!
But it was too late to rejoice. At the next moment, the moment when the fire broke out, the huge force actually blasted the laner into the corridor outside.
"Huh?" The swordsman also seemed to be making a puzzled voice.
"Is it very strange? Liudong Temple is my position. I can do things that are similar to magic when I am in it. How difficult is it to strengthen you..." Medea snorted angrily. a sound.
"So..." The swordsman smiled and shook his head in the darkness.
But the laner who was hit and flew out had a huge wave in his heart. Is this woman the master of the position?
caster? !
