Chapter 157: Unconventional Racing Race
The concentration of darkness that permeated the mountain road was no longer comparable to that of dusk, and it seemed that it was already night.
The darkness as black as ink could not be seen, and the light of the headlamp tore through the darkness. Saber is still desperately driving the Iron Beast.
This road was used to take Einzbelen out of the city. Alice Phil drove when she went, and Saber grabbed the steering wheel of a Mercedes Benz to confirm the route when she returned. It's only two round trips, but it's enough for Saber. Saber has an excellent memory, whether it is the width of the road, the slope of the road, or even when she needs to turn a corner, she can remember it clearly.
Saber saw Rider's "Kamui Wheel" descend from the sky and land in the distance. The King of Conquest did not know for what purpose he did not continue to escape, but landed on the ground, as if intending to respond to Saber's challenge to compete in riding on the ground.
His heroic spirit doesn't seem to be compatible with the sneak attack to kidnap Alice Phil, but this may be the conflict between Rider and his Master. It is not surprising that the actions of the Servants, bound by contracts, often lead to many contradictory results.
This is exactly what Saber himself learned through the conflict with Emiya Kiritsugu.
In this kind of duel, Rider can decide according to his own intentions, which is something to be happy for Saber. Between these two high-speed galloping mounts, Kiritsugu can't help it even if he wants to. For Saber, this is undesirable.
The crux of the matter is that the vibration of the clenched handlebar sends a dangerous message.
As a man-made machine, the V-MAX has used its full strength. But the sad thing is that there is a speeding treasure that is beyond common sense. Although the V-MAX has been pulled by the inner magic of the rider Saber, there are certain limits to the strength of its materials and its own construction.
Engines and drivetrains, which continue to perform at their maximum capacity from the city all the way to here, are already showing signs of collapse. Saber's masterful driving allowed her to grasp the interior of the car as if it were an extension of her own flesh. I can already clearly hear the muffled screams that are about to reach the limit.
"If it goes on like this, it's going to be bad!"
If you slow down with the load on the body, there is nothing to say, but if you want the motorcycle to continue to drive at high speeds, the car will disintegrate and collapse within a few minutes. If nothing is done to enhance the performance of the car itself
Saber himself had a hard time judging whether the countermeasures that flashed through his mind were feasible, but he couldn't hesitate any longer. Saber made up his mind and entrusted everything to all the possibilities he was granted as a Servant.
The silver armor she wore during the battle was now not draped over herself, but with a strong telekinesis to make it rematch with the V-Max's car. It is similar to horse armor that protects horses on the battlefield. With the sense of oneness of riding as the pillar, this time you must make this steel beast that can't speak into your own hands and feet
Her magic is constantly unleashed, the V-MAX's vital parts that can guarantee extreme speed are completely covered and protected, and the flexible yet powerful armor enhances the performance of the motorcycle.
"Great!"
It was a surprising effort, but Saber's skill made it possible. The V-MAX is covered in brand-new silver armor, which is gorgeous and spectacular. This hard body is no less powerful than that monster super horsepower, and the mechanical lion has finally become an authentic monster this time, and the exhaust pipe roars.
Saber unfolded the Wind King barrier in the shape of an arrow directly in front of him, completely covering the front of the body. The V-MAX, which reduces wind resistance to zero by means of a compressed air pressure umbrella, is finally freed from air resistance.
The needle of the speedometer had long since broken and could not be used. Due to Saber's magic, he has traveled beyond the laws of physics, and has exceeded his speed of 400 kilometers per hour. Using the pressure of magic to press the rear wheels firmly against the concrete floor, Saber did not let go of the throttle valve even when cornering, and twisted the car violently.
If that were the case, the slightest hope of victory, which could be grasped with great difficulty, made Saber very excited.
The distance between it and the Kamui Wheel in front of it gradually decreased, and what originally looked like a point of light was now clearly visible as the car was making a sharp turn while roaring with thunder and lightning.
On the other hand, Webber, who had been sitting in the Gojo's seat since landing, had been watching behind him, and when he saw the light of the headlights of the motorcycle that was suddenly speeding over, he couldn't help but hold his breath and hurriedly tugged at Rider's cloak.
"Rider, if we keep going like this, we're going to catch up! Hey, stupid, keep an eye on you!"
Hearing Webb's panicked voice, Rider sneered through his nose. As a heroic spirit who appeared in the real world with the throne of cavalry, he didn't have to look back to clearly feel the aura of Saber approaching.
"Saber, this guy. I have to praise that machine for being able to catch up with this alone. But."
The corners of Rider's mouth crooked as he growled, revealing an innate and somewhat hideous smile.
"I'm sorry, I'm a chariot. Now I can't honestly play the game of race speed with you anymore!"
Rider then slid the huge hull sideways to the side of the road.
On both sides of the Kamui wheels, which are much larger than ordinary trucks, are fixed with oversized scythes that cut a dangerous arc. On both sides of the national highway where the Rider is speeding is a dense primeval forest that almost covers the road. If you move the wheels to the very edge of the paved road, the blade of the scythe will surely plunge into the lush woods
"Saber, you're right behind me!"
The forest is crushed by electrified wheels as easily as paper cuts, and Rider begins a brutal deforestation.
Although the trunks of the trees are thick, they are like sawn wood for a sharp sickle that maintains a rapid speed of 400 kilometers per hour. The tree trunk that was broken in an instant bounced up and was swept into the air. It's like shredding sawdust, but it's a nightmare scene that's hundreds of times more spectacular.
Seeing this powerful scene of destruction, Saber couldn't help but hold his breath.
"Damn!"
The target that was swept up in the air and landed like a rain of trees was of course Saber's head, which was chasing after him. Not to mention a direct hit, at the current speed, even a gentle scrape of the steering wheel can mean the difference between life and death.
Slowing down is impossible. It is not a test that can be avoided by taking a step back. There is only one way to live, and that is to rush forward.
Saber made up his mind, and after being fully mentally prepared, he rushed into the rain of trees without any fear.
It's like an avalanche that keeps falling to the ground. The V-MAX bends forward like a snake, weaving through the gaps of a thousand shots. Saber thought it was foolish to brake to stop the bike, so instead of slowing down, she used the momentum of acceleration to make the front wheels lift off the ground and hang in the air, relying on the rear wheels alone to maintain balance, performing a magically controlled stunt of driving a motorcycle. The flamboyant two-wheeled dance made Webb completely forget his fear and stare intently, and Rider had a satisfied smile on his face.
"Hahahahaha! Great! You deserve to be a knight king with great self-esteem! You deserve to be called the flower of the battlefield!"
Rider laughed as he continued to glide sideways with agility, approaching the next object to be cut down.
"I'm here again, followed by a rain of stones!"
The next prey of the scythe turned out to be the hard asphalt concrete that covered the road surface. Stone is much denser and harder than the trunk of a tree. But the scythe still mercilessly smashed the stone into rubble, scattering like droplets, blocking Saber's path.
A deadly rock baptism much more powerful than a tree trunk. But the corners of Saber's mouth, which was staring at the brave forward ahead, suddenly showed an invincible smile.
"King of Conquest, you underestimate me too much!"
The reason why stones are considered more dangerous than tree trunks is that they must be "hit". If you can dodge everything, whether it's a rain of rockets or a hail of bullets. Saber entrusts his hopes of victory to the V-MAX, in which he trusts completely, and uses his bravery and flamboyant driving skills to make his way through the cracks in the concrete and stone.
On the other hand, due to sweeping the road with a scythe, Rider's vehicle has lost its ability to accelerate. Concrete is much more difficult to cut than trees, so it's a resistance that can't be ignored for the cow.
Saber's sixth sense had a premonition of a wonderful chance of victory. From now on, if we pass the next few tests safely, we will definitely have a chance to come back to life
Huge concrete blocks that had fallen from the pavement blocked the V-MAX's path. The huge, flat stone block, which is more than two meters long and wide, resembles a stone screen.
Saber didn't waver in his eyes when the front was blocked in his path, and he drove the V-MAX forward, then lifted the Wind King Barrier over the top.
"Rush, ahhhhh
With a loud shout, the mass of air pressure swung with the momentum of sweeping thousands of armies slammed into the concrete block with the support of the release of magic, and it looked like at least several tons of concrete stones were easily thrown into the air. The girl's thin wrists were able to accomplish such a feat, completely contrary to the laws of physics, which is an unreasonable magic skill that only a Servant can do.
As it spun rapidly in midair, the concrete stone fell in a deadly parabola straight ahead, aiming just above the chariot in front of it. Hearing Webb's screams, Rider turned around. Raising his sword, his round eyes glared at the stone above his head.
