Stray Chapter 54: Rider exits

The Church of the Holy Grail in Fuyuki City is not only the overseer of the Holy Grail War, but can also be transformed directly into the biggest cheater in the Holy Grail War at some point.

Let's not say anything else, just the special secret method of the church, the ability to remove the Command Spell as a magic crystal through psychic surgery, determines the objective existence of this matter. In the past three Holy Grail Wars, there will always be The Command Spells were not used up, they all fell into the hands of the Holy Church.

For example, in this Holy Grail War, Kotomine Kirei also voluntarily withdrew from the Holy Grail War after Hundred Majesty Hassan was eliminated, and all the Command Spells that were not used at all were also voluntarily removed. He kept it for his father, Kotomine Rizheng—

Of course, it is now estimated that even the old one has fallen into the hands of Kotomine Kirei's filial son. The conservative estimate of the number of command spells is definitely more than ten strokes, and these command spells are all at this time. Become Gilgamesh's magical resource.

After all, Command Spells not only represent the absolute command power of the Master over the Servants, but at the same time, its essence is the crystallization of magic power. When using a Command Spell, even teleportation such as approaching magic can be achieved, so of course there is no reason why it can't be done by boosting or charging the Servant's Noble Phantasm.

In other words, Gilgamesh now has the power to fire with almost unlimited firepower. Even an ex-level super-standard anti-world Noble Phantasm such as the "Deviated Sword ea" can still fire the Noble Phantasm in bursts, and even It's more than ten times in a row...

This is very cruel, at least for now, that guy does have the ability to end the Holy Grail War overnight, and by the way, completely destroy the entire Fuyuki City.

Of course, judging from Gilgamesh's arrogance, it's impossible for him to release the Noble Phantasm ten times in a row, but the problem is that he has so many magical resources, at least to solve his worries——

When he was always thoroughly provoked before, the **** king would want the ultimate liberation of the Noble Phantasm, but now it's different, he doesn't need to think about other issues at all, because even if he misses a single hit, he won't be able to. There are many more opportunities.

This change in mentality is the most dangerous.

It's just that Xia Ran didn't think about countermeasures for such a situation that was very likely to occur, and the holy sword scabbard Avalon taken out from Irisviel was returned to Saber after being returned to the original owner. , is the countermeasure he prepared for this.

Anyway, considering the worst-case scenario, Gilgamesh will only die in the end, it makes no difference. An enemy with superhuman equipment and superhuman abilities is the kind that is terrifying to the point of suffocation.

As for Gilgamesh, forget it... If only "Deviated Sword·ea", "King's Treasure" and so on were fighting automatically, Xia Ran would still feel quite troublesome, but since there is still another Gilgamesh was trying to drag down the best equipment, so he didn't think there was anything to be afraid of.

"Want to use Avalon?...why?"

Saber's expression changed slightly. Could she be able to cope with Avalon's Noble Phantasm?

Could it be that Gilgamesh's trump card is so terrifying that even this magician thinks he should take it seriously?

"How can there be so many whys, isn't ease of use the biggest reason?"

Xia Ran stopped examining the old priest's body and confirmed that there were no traces of herself left, so she directly waved her hand, turned and walked outside the church door. He didn't really want to explain about the "Deviated Sword·ea", because there was no need for that.

"Anyway, when there is a chance, I will give you an order directly to Saber. All you have to do is to release the scabbard and pick up the opponent's Noble Phantasm without hurting your face, and then release the holy sword to him with your backhand. Just a moment..."

There is no need for any tactics at all, defend and then counterattack, seize the exact opportunity to kill Gilgamesh directly, Xia Ran is not too happy to bother with such a simple matter, and does not want to specially formulate a strategy Not on the plan.

“…”

“…”

The knight girl pursed her lips and followed silently without saying a word. She expressed neither agreement nor disapproval.

This is because she doesn't feel that she really wants to work for this magician, and she doesn't want to follow the other party's instructions. She never really regarded Xia Ran as her master from beginning to end, and she is just helpless now. Under the humiliation and heavy burdens, it is nothing more than seeking skin with a tiger...

But it is not necessary to express opposition directly. It is not a wise choice to cause a conflict between herself and the other party at this time, so she can only choose to remain silent, at least until it is confirmed that Irisviel has been rescued.

Only speaking of the scabbard, she subconsciously felt a deep worry in her heart——

After the precious scabbard was recovered, Saber was subconsciously delighted, but immediately began to worry about Irisviel's problems.

After all, there is a very simple question, what kind of situation does Avalon need to maintain his physical condition?

King Arthur's scabbard is a treasure, not only her strongest Noble Phantasm, but also a sacred relic that has truly existed in modern times.

The scabbard is named after Avalon and is known as an ideal land far away from the world. The passive ability is immortality, which has the ability to heal the owner's injuries and stop aging. The active effect is aimed at individual combat, as if it were a "mobile fortress".

It can be said that the existence of the scabbard itself is equivalent to "magic", which is no exaggeration and is more valuable than the holy sword itself.

It's just that Irisviel didn't want to tell Saber what was going on with her condition, and Saber didn't notice anything unhealthy about her body - Einz Belen's Alchemy It is very advanced, and the technology for artificial humans has long been developed to a very mature and reliable level.

An example like Alice Phil has found a perfect balance between performance and coordination. She is even healthier and more perfect than most natural people——

At least until she absorbs enough servant souls to activate the functions she was designed from the beginning, and inevitably lead to the fate of collapse, it is indeed a matter of saving.

And Saber itself is not a professional magician, so there is no way to find more detailed problems. Only from the superficial signs, it can be determined that Irisviel is actually very healthy, but because of this, she is healed. Feeling apprehensive.

I hope there won't be any problems, but she swore with her sword that she would protect the other party.

If the country had just collapsed not long ago, and none of the courtiers, subordinates, and friends could protect it, now I have finally come to this era, I have become a knight of Irisviel, and I swore to protect her, but I still can't. Keep the oath...

Then this is definitely a huge blow to Artoria.

Walking out of the church, Xia Ran glanced at Matou Kariya, who didn't know what kind of blow he had received. The whole person seemed to be more sluggish than before, and Matou Kariya's reaction was slower than a beat, and he was a little curious.

Is it really love and kill each other? Tohsaka Tokiomi's death was so unacceptable to this man?

He thought about it for a while, and was about to say something, but suddenly stopped, and looked at a certain direction opposite the city: "rider seems to have left the stage..."

"What?" Artoria was taken aback for a moment, and then she only felt that her whole person was not well.

——rider is out? !

Didn't Emiya Kiritsugu say he found a helper and came to rob someone tonight? Regardless of whether it is a rider or a lancer, it is a definite candidate. After all, it is impossible to find other people to help.

However, now the magician suddenly told her that rider had left the stage? If you think about it carefully, it's not long before night, it's just after seven o'clock in the evening, which seems to be the time for the implementation of the robbing plan...

Is there something wrong that the magician is using to warn himself?

Or, this is a trap at all. The Liudong Temple has already set up a net of heaven and earth, so Emiya Kiritsugu's plan is simply to lose his wife and break the army - literally?

"The plan can't keep up with the changes... Let's go and have a look." Xia Ran looked at the space prompt and confirmed that only the name of rider was mentioned.

If Gilgamesh went directly to attack Liudong Temple and killed Sasaki Kojiro without warning - because Sasaki Kojiro couldn't leave the gate too far, Medea itself had a means similar to space transfer, bringing people along You can leave, but Sasaki Kojiro doesn't even have the possibility of teleporting through the Command Spell—he may not be so surprised.

But who would have thought that the rider who was first hit by the "Deviated Sword ea" and then regretted leaving the stage was still the King of Conquerors.

Should it be said that his luck is not very good, or that the plot inertia is too strong. After the fate has suffered a deviation, he is still stubbornly self-correcting, hoping to return to the original world line by adjusting the law of causality?

After all, who knows what Gilgamesh is thinking, no matter how you look at it, his first target should be Xia Ran.

"What's going on? Why did you know that rider had left the stage?" Artoria clenched her silver teeth tightly, stepped forward to block Xia Ran, stared at him and asked.

"I don't know what's going on, I just have some means to be able to determine the Servant's exit..." Xia Ran shook his head and said sincerely, "As for what happened, how is it? I have to personally go and find out about the situation before I can know.”

“…”

In the emerald green eyes of the knight girl, her nervousness eased slightly.

It seems that this person is not trying to warn himself, but he still doesn't know what happened... But this is not to be thankful at all, if what the other party said is true and the rider has left the stage...

Then even if the halberd is not broken at Liudong Temple, there must be something wrong in other aspects, at least the plan must be bankrupt, and even Irisviel may be in danger.

“laas-yah-nir—!!”

At this time, Xia Ran spoke softly and whispered something.

In an instant, Saber was keenly aware of the magic power in the surrounding air, and was pushed and vibrated by a special "wave".

As if a stone was thrown on the water, ripples were splashed and radiated rapidly in all directions.

Before she realized what was going on, Xia Ran seemed to have figured out something, and let out a light breath, forming a white fog in the snowy night—

"The battle should have happened on the Fuyuki Bridge, and the aura of the Conqueror King is dissipating... What remains at the scene is the aura of the lancer, as well as that of the **** king. As for the more specific situation, I think it may be necessary to go and see Just do it."
