Chapter 24 Attack on Liudong Temple

"There must have been a lot of traps on the positive path, there is no doubt about it. Standing under the long steps of the Liudong Temple, Rin Tosaka stared at the mountain gate that was faintly floating in the dark night in the distance for a long time, then turned his head and said, "Although we can find out one by one and then attack it." But that would take a lot of time -- you know, time isn't on our side right now. NEITHER OF US KNOWS HOW LONG SABER WILL LAST, AND AS A MAGICIAN OF THE GODS, SHE HAS A LOT MORE KNOWLEDGE OF MAGIC THAN WE HAVE NOW, AND IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT IT WILL TAKE US MORE TIME TO DISMANTLE ONE THAN THE OTHER PARTY MAKES - AND I CAN'T BE SURE IF I CAN DO IT ALL, AFTER ALL, THE OTHER PARTY HAS GONE MUCH FURTHER THAN ME ON THE DEMON PATH. ”

"Then let's get around these traps. Almost the thought process does not exist, Emiya Shirou said, "This road can't be taken, so let's go the other way, isn't this reason very simple." ”

"yes, it's as simple as your knee-high brain. I DON'T KNOW WHEN HE CLIMBED TO THE TOP OF THE BIG TREE ON THE SIDE, ARCHER WHO WAS STANDING ON A BRANCH AND GUARDED THE SURROUNDINGS GLANCED AT EMIYA WITH DISDAIN, AND SAID WITH SOME SNORT, "IDIOT, DO YOU THINK THE OTHER PARTY IS MORE STUPID THAN YOU?"

"You!" Emiya's eyes widened, and he wanted to say something, but Sakura on the side grabbed his arm.

"It is true that it is very unwise to choose a detour now. Zhao Mian said as he put the Safras pestle that had been on his shoulders on the ground, and his voice came from under the helmet that completely covered his cheeks, buzzing and looking very low, "What we can imagine, the other party must be able to think of." What's more, I had already used the surrounding woods to carry out a surprise attack two days ago, and it was a fool's dream to hope that the other side would not set up defenses in the woods at this time. Moreover, have you thought about the palace, although the Liudong Temple is located in a relatively remote place, but this mountain road still has a lot of people passing by every day, and I haven't heard anyone missing in this vicinity in the past few days, which means that the other party's defense measures should be closed during the day, or it is very likely that it was rearranged after nightfall today. ”

"So I chose this path. Tosaka looked at the path in front of her with some thought, and then reached out and released a magic orb that hit some kind of barrier shortly after leaving her hand and dissolved into the air, "But you also saw it. IT'S ESTIMATED THAT THERE WILL BE A LOT OF THINGS LIKE THIS ONE, AND WE WON'T BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH THEM ALL - THAT'S TOO TIME-CONSUMING, AND WE'RE NOT IN A RACE AGAINST CASTER RIGHT NOW, BUT AGAINST SABER AND TIME, AND IF WE CAN FIGHT BEFORE SABER IS COMPLETELY CONTROLLED, THEN WE STILL HAVE A BIG CHANCE OF WINNING - AND YOU ALL KNOW. ”

"But if there is no way to get rid of it, do you have to go over one by one?" Wei Gong asked with a frown, he looked up at the long mountain road, the corners of his eyes twitched a little, "I really can't imagine how many injuries we have on our bodies when we rush to the top of the mountain, and we may not have any combat strength left, and we can only be treated as a good meal delivered to the door." ”

"There are ways to solve it, and it's very simple. Tosaka sighed, "But none of that we can do right now - there are some that we wouldn't be able to do now, even if we were able to do it now. For example, if the magic power of this place is temporarily withdrawn, most of the things like the magic circle rely on the great source of the world to operate, and it is basically impossible for a summoned heroic spirit like Caster to be able to get an item that can supply the magic power of the magic circle, so after draining the magic power of the entire place at once, these magic circles will naturally stop working, and we can pass. But obviously, we can't do this kind of thing for the time being. ”

"Then pierce it. Zhao Mian said, he looked up at the moon that had just been obscured by the clouds - judging from the direction, the time was not too early, and it should be bright in a while, "Since it can't be lifted, let's just pierce it." Quite simply, since we can't get through the minefield, let's blow up a path with grenades or something, and get over to them after all the obstacles that stand in our way. ”

Ignoring the stunned crowd, Zhao Mian went straight to the front of everyone, he put down the war hammer in his hand with a "bang", a little bit of holy light condensed on his body, he half-knelt on the ground, and pulled out Grosag from his space bag with both hands and inserted it into the ground - well, should it be said that it was destroying public property?

"Where I stand, it is a holy place. From the blade of the great sword, a burst of light spread, and the shadows disappeared everywhere it passed, like the sound of a balloon being punctured, coming from a place not far in front of Zhao Mian - those obstacles were dissipating.

"The sword I hold is the holy sword. The light on the ground faded away, but the blade of the sword gradually lit up, and finally appeared in front of Zhao Mian like a small sun, and from Zhao Mian's back, it was almost as if he was holding the light in his arms—and the light gave him wings and crowned him.

"What my sword points at is justice!" Zhao Mian suddenly pulled out most of the grosag that had submerged under the ground, and the light on the blade dimmed, but on the tip of the sword, a little bit of light made it impossible to look directly - just a curious gaze, and the archer with excellent eyesight was temporarily blinded.

"Well, one shot should be enough. Zhao Mian squinted his eyes and glanced in the direction slightly, and then he waved the big sword in his hand - as if he was thrown out, a little light was suddenly elongated in the air, and then a huge beam of light appeared under the night sky, and in an instant the darkness of the night was expelled, and the light descended into this world.

Then, everything was calm - except for the entire mountain path that had been completely wiped out by the intense Holy Light, after the end of the Holy Grail War, it was estimated that the Liudong Temple would need a major overhaul, both for its mountain path and the outer wall of the temple.

"Well, that should be pretty much it. Zhao Mian looked at the scene in front of him, nodded, and then turned his head to look at the four people in a daze and said, "Okay, now those traps and things are estimated to have completely disappeared, but we estimate that we will have to wash our shoes after we go back - especially the cowhide shoes in Tosaka, that thing is not easy to clean." ”

"Bastard, what did you do?!!!" Hearing someone say her name, Tosaka was the first to wake up, she pointed at Zhao Mian with a little trembling and said, "You guy, do you know how much money it took to build this place?!!! you actually destroyed it like this! Who is responsible for this matter! You servants will return to Valhalla after the Holy Grail War! And those defeated and outsiders will be responsible, they will definitely run away! Do you want me to help you pay the bill! I tell you, it is impossible to !!!"

There was silence for a while, and Tosaka's roar still echoed in the night sky - during which Emiya Shirou shivered twice because he didn't know why he wasn't wearing much.

Zhao Mian thought for a while, took out a money bag from his space bag, and then handed it to Yuansaka's hand, "There are three thousand gold coins in this, I think even counting your mental damage fee is enough." ”
