Chapter 155: The Chase

Rider's escape is clearly in the direction of Xindu.

Perhaps because of the constant jumping from one height to another, Saber constantly sees Rider's back appear on top of the mixed apartments and advertising towers. The reason why he didn't deliberately hide his whereabouts may be because he completely looked down on the foot strength of Saber, who was tracking.

In that case, he's underestimating the enemy.

As Saber's fighting spirit surged, the two-wheeled beast let out a brave roar as the throttle valve that had been completely loosened. The roar of the V-shaped four-cylinder L400cc engine, like a steel lion, resembled a large carnivore that roared wildly, violently shaking the silence of the night.

Presumably in order to maximize Saber's riding skills, Emiya Kiritsugu prepared a mobility tool that was not four-wheeled but two-wheeled. Rather than a maneuverable motorcycle, which is seated in a seat and restrained by a seat belt, it is easier to control the center of gravity and fully exploit the Servant's enhanced technology by riding a motorcycle with its body fully exposed.

Of course, it doesn't matter if the Servant is used as a servant that surpasses the limits of ordinary operators. Originally, it was a ridiculous plan for the construction of a car body that didn't seem to have any practicality, but Kiritsugu actually put this design into practice.

The base body is the YAMAHA.VMAX, which is currently the most powerful drive available. The performance of the l200cc engine, which was originally designed to maximize its performance, has been further enhanced, and the drive system has been completely strengthened to turn it into a xenomorph monster with an output of 250 horsepower, which is the silver mount that Saber is now riding.

Of course, after all the excessive reinforcements, the structure of the two-wheeled vehicle can no longer be expected to function properly. Due to the excessive torque, the tires cannot produce enough friction with the ground, so they can only rotate constantly. As soon as the brakes are pressed, the front wheel jumps, potentially tipping the person riding on it over.

Saber is perfectly driving the physically uncontrollable horse at full speed. The secret to how well she can handle this motorcycle is the combat skills she's always been proud of, as well as the sheer power of her magic. A jet of magic from Saber's back drove the frantic hull down the road, putting all the horsepower into acceleration.

It's not so much a trick as it's closer to subduing the beast with more force. For the diminutive Saber, a super-heavy motorcycle with a total of more than 300 kilograms as his opponent, he could only maneuver in a thrilling position. Saber was almost lying on top of the engine covered by the resin pressure pump, holding the steering wheel while being forced to endure the violent vibrations caused by the large exhaust volume. It was like a child desperately lying on the back of a beast.

However, the ordeal was not particularly painful for Saber. The more difficult it was to tame this steel beast, the more it stimulated the fighting spirit and excitement in her body.

The feeling that drove Mercedes-Benz is nothing compared to the feeling of driving at such a high speed now. Right. The feeling is really close to the feeling of riding a horse.

Although driven by the products of modern technology, her spirit has now returned to the nostalgic ancient battlefield, and she has recovered the spirit of a knight who charges at the enemy with a spear.

If it's that speed, I can't say for sure

The distance from the Rider in front of it slowly widened. This is the gap in the route that jumps between buildings and buildings and the route that travels only on the road surface.

But there is no need to be anxious. Indeed, in terms of instantaneous acceleration and maximum speed, the Servant's agility is above that of this V-MAX. But this steel beast can maintain its speed as long as there is fuel left. If it's a long-term tracking battle, this is a big advantage.

The streets of Fukayama Town are a big shackle for those who are driving on the ground to track them. In addition, the V-MAX has been completely modified to pursue extreme acceleration, and its walking characteristics are no different from those of cars in the straight-line short-distance car acceleration race, and it has almost no rotation. However, Servant's superior technology even overturns the physical theorem of inability to turn at high speeds, which makes no sense to them.

Saber had mastered the characteristics of the machine, and when it was about to turn, instead of slowing down, he opened the throttle valve, injecting all the excess torque into the wheels behind. Just like this, the moment when the rapid acceleration that even the entire body of the car was about to collapse and the front wheels floated, Saber used the instantaneous explosive force released by the magic to force the car to tilt, thus completing the change of direction, as if using a strong force to reverse the direction of going straight.

Rider seems to have crossed the Weiyuan River and entered the new capital, and he is no longer visible. However, Saber did not panic, but looked into the night sky to search for the other party's whereabouts.

Rider must have known that Saber wouldn't give up easily. Now that he was holding Alice Phil, he couldn't hide through the spiritualization of his body. From the moment he fled to the new capital, Rider had only two options. Either hide to avoid Saber's tracking, or ride the Kamui wheel to instantly increase the distance between you and the tracker. Judging by Rider's personality, Saber thinks he would choose the latter. So even if he is not found now, there is no need to be anxious. Because if it was a flying treasure such as the Kamui Wheel, it would emit a huge amount of magical power, so it would be impossible to escape from under Saber's nose.

The crux of the matter is that tracking from the ground is disadvantageous

It would be better to guess the destination of the Kamui wheel based on the direction of its flight as soon as it appeared, and then get to that place first. It's not so much a game of manipulation as it is a test of the tracker's sensitivity and tracking skills.

Everyone on the road was watching in amazement as the V-MAX was speeding faster than the car in front of it at breakneck speed. Saber didn't care about the gaze of the people around him, focusing all his attention on the old enemy overhead. Obstacles that hinder travel can be perceived through the direction of the air flow. Even with your eyes closed, you don't have to worry about hitting something.

"Found it!"

Saber's spiritual power, which was close to the beast's vision, sensed the fluctuations of mana in the air. As if to avoid the attention of ordinary people, Kamui wheels did not make a thunderous sound, and their speed slowed down. But there is no doubt that the feeling is the magical oscillation caused by Rider's Noble Phantasm.

The bearing is east. It seems that he was planning to escape through Shinto and outside Fuyuki City.

Saber thinks the other party is a fluke. In that case, let's make the most of the acceleration of the machine by using the wide national highway.

Jumped over the bridge in one fell swoop and came to a six-lane road. Saber opened the throttle even more boldly, driving VMAX forward.

As a result of this unscrupulous driver's drive, the tachometer pointer has exceeded six thousand revolutions, and at that moment, the engine makes an unexpected sound.

The furious bass of the engine suddenly changed to a deafening high, and the sound became even more violent, violently tearing through the silence of the night sky. The acceleration is a world away from what it was just now.

Flying at such a speed, Saber and the hull of the car turned into a projectile, and the surrounding night scene slid by like a meteor.

That was the moment when the true magic awakened hidden within the steel beast. Using a modern high-tech design, the V-shaped propulsion structure can be changed to a two-cylinder engine structure when the high-speed rotation limit is reached, and the suction volume is instantly increased to a large extent to obtain the maximum acceleration, which is the special structure of VMAX. It would not have been possible to have such a structure with two turbochargers, but this design is completely beyond the scope of a motorcycle.

Bearing the air resistance close to the water pressure, Saber couldn't help but smile as he desperately clung to the hull.

The car clearly goes beyond the basic principle of the machine, which is the tool of man. This is a freak born of developed modern technology. The loneliness and the sadness even make people feel a sense of empathy that goes beyond sympathy.

To make this machine fully exploit its value, the kind of thing that only a non-human Servant can do. This car must have come to life for Saber to drive it tonight.

"Okay, then you're going to run to the point where you're going to burn out!"

Saber roared loudly in the howling wind, then let go of the throttle further.

The speedometer has exceeded its speed by 300 kilometers per hour and is still slowly climbing.

The light of the headlamp does not look like the light that should be on the ground, and it can even shine high in the sky.
