Chapter 11: Caster Exits
On the way back, just in case, Misaka split up a clone and said to her, "You go to the highest place and wait for my signal." After listening to it, he disappeared immediately.
When he returns to Illya's house, he finds that Soichiro Katsugi, Caster, and her Dragontooth Soldiers have surrounded the two masters, while Yuu Uemura is lying on the side with serious injuries, and Illya and Rin Tosaka are using their magic to protect him from the Dragontooth Soldiers' attacks.
There was also a huge magic array on the ground, and this magic array she recognized was the magic array that Gao Qi used to invalidate his spell and could not summon Wang Yue.
Seeing this, she roughly understood what was going on, and as soon as she left, the Dragontooth Soldiers began to attack Illya and them, and because of the magic array on the ground, she was unable to summon herself with the Spell.
Originally, the dragon tooth soldiers could not pose a threat to the three of them, but as soon as caster and her master killed Lancer's master, they used space magic to come here, and in the face of the sudden appearance of the two, Uemura Yu was defeated in an instant.
Seeing Soichiro Katsugi slowly walking towards the three Illya, who were surrounded by the dragon tooth soldiers, Misaka immediately released countless thunderbolts from his body, easily eliminating the dragon tooth soldiers surrounding them.
Knowing that Caster had been able to interrupt the contract between the Heroic Spirit and the Servant, Misaka, who didn't know what the conditions for her activation were, landed in front of them and prevented Soichiro Katsugi from continuing to approach them.
"Archer!" Rin Tosaka, who thought that everything was over, couldn't stop calling out in his heart when he saw Misaka falling in front of him.
"archer!?" Compared to Rin Tosaka, Caster was both surprised and displeased by Misaka's appearance, and then said disdainfully, "Lancer, can't even be solved by a mere archer?"
She was very dissatisfied that Lancer didn't solve Misaka.
The face under the cloak could not be seen clearly, but her disdainful attitude made Misaka suddenly angry, and he sneered, "Lancer is much better than you betrayed witch." β
Hearing Misaka's words, Caster sneered, "Betrayal? β
Their alliance would have only come together because of the convergence of interests, whether it was last night or now. If given the opportunity, no one will miss the opportunity to kill the opponent directly.
After laughing, he pointed to Misaka and said to Soichiro Katsuki, "Kill her, Soichiro-sama." β
"You plan to let your master fight the Heroic Spirits?" Rin Tosaka and Illya both looked at each other at Caster's actions, in their eyes, humans should be unable to defeat the Heroic Spirits, let alone guardians with special bonuses to humans.
"It should be Caster who strengthened Mr. Gemu, after all, Mr. Katsugi is already very strong. Illya speculated as she looked at Caster's fearless face and Soichiro Katsugi's face without any emotional fluctuations.
"But even so, it's not so big as to think that you can fight the Heroic Spirit. "No matter how strong it is, there is a limit, that is, there is an upper limit to the ability to improve, and Rin Tosaka doesn't think that if you improve your ability, you can fight with the Heroic Spirit.
Looking at Soichiro Katsuki's posture, he understood that the other party was a person with senior combat experience, and he also understood that Caster was the kind of person who would not fight uncertain battles. Although I don't understand where she got the confidence to think that her master can fight with the Heroic Spirit.
Worried that he would involve the two behind him later, or that Caster would use a circle to cut off the contract against Rin Tosaka, Misaka said, "Master, you guys get out of here first. β
"......" looked at Misaka, who looked nervous and didn't have any carelessness at all, Rin Tosaka was surprised and didn't know how to answer, and the whole person was stunned.
Soichiro Katsuki, who was focused on the front of him, found that Rin Tosaka didn't make any moves, thinking that she wanted to stay and fight side by side with him, Misaka said, "Caster has a way to break the contract with the Servant, if you stay here and she takes advantage of the opportunity, Wang Yue and I will be in danger." β
Rin Tosaka, who was stunned, understood that she was worried about this after hearing her words, nodded and helped the seriously injured Yu Uemura back to the house with Illya, and did not forget to let her be careful before leaving, "Archer, you must win." β
"Don't worry, I won't lose that easily. Misaka smiled and nodded in response.
Soichiro Katsugi clenched his fists, and in the next second he disappeared in place, appearing in front of Misaka, and slammed his fist straight at her.
Faced with the sudden appearance of him, Misaka was first surprised by his speed, but immediately returned to normal, and by the way, at the same time put his arm on his chest, intending to block the opponent's fist and stun it by the way.
The moment the arm touched the fist, the flesh on the surface did not react, but the bones inside sensed a powerful force and squeezed it heavily.
Has the fist been strengthened to this extent?
I noticed the condition of the bones, and knew that if I continued like this, I was afraid that my arm would be broken immediately. While being surprised, Misaka twisted his body to remove the other party's strength and prevent his arm from breaking.
Although a lot of power was removed, the power did not disappear, and it still hit Misaka's arm. The pain that ordinary people can't tolerate is nothing to her.
But the bones in her arm cracked, and the affected nerves made her hands no longer as agile and nimble as they used to be, causing her to miss the best moment to fight back.
Another fist followed, and this time Misaka didn't intend to block it, choosing instead to avoid the attack.
The sound of breaking wind was transmitted in my ears, and it continued to echo one after another. In the end, Misaka's mind reverberated with a buzzing noise.
Due to the noise, Misaka's body began to feel a little uncomfortable, and he could no longer avoid the fierce fist that broke the wind as easily as he did just now. In order not to allow himself to be hit by a fist, Misaka had to hurriedly retreat.
As soon as she landed on the ground, she felt that her body was staggering beyond her control, as if she was going to fall at any moment.
"Voice?" Misaka's dizziness as things in front of her kept spinning, and everything was upside down, making her immediately understand what was going on, "You're using sound to make my brain dizzy..."
"Hiding well, not relying on my own eyes, but relying on my fighting intuition, I avoided all my punches. Soichiro Katsugi walked over to the stumbling Misaka and praised her for the performance she had just performed.
"You're right, I'm using sound to make your brain feel dizzy. β
Raise your fist and swing it down hard, hitting Misaka's shoulder, whose brain can't judge things.
Although his brain couldn't tell about an approaching crisis, the cells of his body told him that a crisis was coming, and Misaka immediately jumped back, dodging a fist that was enough to shatter his shoulder.
"Actually surrendering his body to experience!" Seeing that Misaka was still stumbling as before, knowing that she had just avoided her own attack was just a sense of self-protection in her body, a trace of imperceptible surprise appeared on her face, but then disappeared.
With his palm in the shape of an eagle's claw, he quickly rushed towards Misaka, hitting her throat like lightning. Misaka's body moved slightly to the side, avoiding the fate of being choked by the throat.
But the moment Soichiro Katsuki withdrew his hand, a violent current of air pulled her slender neck into his palm.
Under Misaka's painful expression, the hand that clenched her neck gradually exerted force, making her more and more painful.
"Your experience won't save you a few times. Looking at Misaka, whose eyes were rolling, Soichiro Katsuki's emotionless voice sounded again.
Just as he was about to strangle Misaka, there was a sudden crackling sound in his ears.
Blue and white lightning stretched from Misaka's feet to the ground, and a black sword made of iron sand scurried up from the ground and flew into her hand. Grip the sword of iron and sand, and use all his strength to slash at Soichiro Katsugi, who is exerting his strength.
Look at the vibrating iron sand, like a blade like an ultra-high-speed chainsaw. If you are beheaded, even if you don't die, your body will be split in two.
Soichiro Katsugi immediately let go of his hand to avoid getting hurt.
Misaka, who lost his support, fell to the ground from mid-air. But before her foot touched the ground, a sharp pain came from her abdomen, knocking her whole body into the air, knocking the wall straight out of a hole in the smoke.
"Archer!" Rin Tosaka's incredulous voice came from the billowing smoke.
"It's... How is this possible?"
After the smoke cleared, Illya, who was carrying Shinji on her back, stood there stunned and looked at Misaka who had fallen to the ground, and like Rin Tosaka, she couldn't believe that Misaka had lost to a human.
"In your mind, the master should be the rear support. Soichiro Katsugi ignored the shock on their faces and said in his emotionless voice, "But there are exceptions, and there are masters like me. β
"Indeed. There is indeed such a charging master. Misaka, who was spitting blood from his mouth, reluctantly stood up and deeply agreed with his words.
Take a coin from your pocket and flick it upwards to make it spin in mid-air.
"It's... Kill Berserker's Noble Phantasm. Looking at the spinning coins in the air, Caster, who had seen her kill Berserker, whispered, "But now's physical condition... Can I let her use it?"
If she had used it at first, she might have been scared, but now that she was dizzy and seriously injured, using the Noble Phantasm in this situation was just a waste of magic.
Caster, who thought that the other party was just struggling meaninglessly, and that victory was already waving at him, said to Soichiro Katsugi, "Master, you can do it yourself." β
Soichiro Katsugi stepped out of his own footsteps and slowly approached Rin Tosaka, who didn't know what to do.
Railgun
The coin in the air returned to Misaka's finger, and an orange-red beam of light shot out with a loud rumbling sound.
But instead of shooting at Caster or Soichiro Katsugi, it flew straight into the sky, turning into a very dazzling brilliance in the air and disappearing.
"Hahaha..."Caster couldn't help but laugh out loud as he looked at the vanishing brilliance, "Are you cheering for me and my victory?"
Just as she was laughing at Misaka, a blue-white electric light streaked across the sky, leaving a comet-like trail in the air, shooting straight at the caster who didn't notice it.
When Caster noticed it, he immediately opened the barrier in an attempt to block it out, but how could he easily block the deliberate attack.
Arrow?
It was clear that it was an arrow formed by a blue-white electric current that attacked him, and that its arrow was still spinning at high speed, ready to make a hole in its own barrier.
The originally sturdy barrier began to slowly break through in the face of the arrows that rotated at high speed and resembled drills.
Damn it.
Caster, who thought that victory was already in his hands, looked at the arrow that was about to break through the barrier, and couldn't help but curse.
Squeak β
The barrier was cut open by an arrow, and the bolt of thunder that broke through the hole flew towards Caster's heart.
I thought I would be shot through the heart by the Thunderbolt, and then my death dissipated and I withdrew from the Holy Grail War.
But the imaginary death did not come, but was gently embraced, and he fell on his strong chest.
"Zong... Soichiro-sama..."Knowing who was holding her, the corners of Caster's mouth raised an incomparably meeting smile, but seeing that the other party's shoulders had been penetrated, the muscles had been scorched, and the air was filled with a smell of burning, she couldn't help but be nervous and worried.
βγ Soichiro Katsugi didn't pay attention to her worries and nervousness, and it was still the same as before, and a voice without much emotion came out of his mouth, as if such an injury was nothing.
Caster glared angrily at Misaka, who couldn't even stand still, and although he wanted to break her into thousands of pieces and cut her with a thousand knives, she was worried about Soichiro Katsuki's injury, so she had to nod and leave.
"Finally left. Caster's departure made Illya and Rin Tosaka breathe a sigh of relief at the same time, and at the same time hurriedly left here with the injured patient, after all, this place can no longer stay.
That damn archer dared to let Soichiro-sama suffer such a serious injury, I will.... saberοΌ...
Caster, who had just returned to Liudong Temple, was thinking about how to make Misaka feel pain and suffering, so she withdrew from the Holy Grail War, but when she found that her position had been destroyed, and Wang Yue stood in front of her, she immediately stood on guard, and at the same time prepared magic to prepare for battle with him.
Whoa...
Puff puff...
Before Caster could react, several swords pierced her and her master.
"Soichiro-sama...."
Caster's own master, whose cheeks welled up in his cheeks, before he finally disappeared.
Soichiro Katsugi disappeared from the caster, ignoring the pain on his body, stood up with the last of his strength, and limped towards Wang Yue.
"Your servant is dead, and you have withdrawn from the Holy Grail War. Fighting is pointless to you. β
Watching him walk towards him, Wang Yue spoke.
Ignoring Wang Yue's words, Soichiro Gemu just walked forward silently.
Looking at his resolute eyes without any wavering, the corners of Wang Yue's mouth raised a smile, "Is it?
Pulling out the dragon sword at his waist, he walked up to him and wiped it on his neck, ending his life.
After burying Soichiro Katsuki, follow the direction of the contract and go to Illya's location.
