Chapter 148: Expediency
"Ahh
"Illyah!"
The screams of Illya and Miyu pull the pensive Saber back to reality. Even if she was far enough away from the sea devil, in the face of the tentacles that suddenly broke through the water, Illya could only use all her magic power for physical defense, and she didn't have time to dodge at all.
The strong force of the tentacle directly sent Illya, who was staying in mid-air, flying, and Miyu, who witnessed this scene, was also entangled by the tentacles due to a momentary distraction, and slowly dragged towards the place where the giant beast in the sea was.
"Illya!
Shirou, who saw this scene on the riverbank, couldn't calm down anymore, threw the bow in his hand aside, and rushed out directly.
"Do you want to be unguardable?"
Although they haven't been together for a long time, Illya and Miyu, who are as kind as sisters, are already important people who must be protected in Shirou's eyes. The two who were about to die at this time reminded Shirou of Illya, who had died in front of his eyes.
"No, Illya and Miyu, I'll take care of it!"
Shirou, who took a firm step, roared and stretched out his right hand as if he was about to grab the petite figures of Illya and Miyu.
"Trace On!"
The magic power activated the twenty-seven magic circuits in his body, and turned into a surging blue lightning bolt that formed four giant swords and eight swords and spears around the boy's body.
"What?!! Are they all treasures?"
Lancer looked at Shirou's back in shock, as a Servant, Archer had a large number of multiple treasures, which was already beyond the specifications. But as an ordinary, no, half-magician, Emiya Shirou has displayed a technique that is enough to project multiple treasures.
It's not just Lancer who is shocked, but also Alice Phil, who is also a magician. Although he knew that Shirou had the ability to project treasures, he didn't expect to be able to reach this level. This made Alice Phil even more sure of her determination.
γβ¦β¦ If it's him, he can definitely protect it!"
The sword and spear that flew through the air painted a blue light and shadow in the air, tearing apart the tentacles that wrapped around Miyu with a destructive power no less than that of the golden Archer, leaving a terrible wound on the sea devil's massive body.
"This is ......"
"Well, that's amazing!"
Under the shocked gaze of Saber and Rider, four giant swords fell into the river one after another, and the broad sword body created enough path for Emiya Shirou. With firm determination, Shirou jumped several meters high and stopped Illya flying upside down with one hand. Then he accelerated and hugged Miyu, who fell along gravity because he got rid of his tentacles.
"Brother!"
"Brother... Brother!"
The sound of the two petite figures in his arms didn't put Shirou at ease, because the matter wasn't over yet. Three giant swords fell from the sky again, clinging to the lake upside down, and Shirou, who had stepped on the hilt of the sword, quickly returned with his strength.
In the next second, the thick tentacles directly smashed the three giant swords into pieces, but at this time, Shirou had already returned to the flat sword safely with Illya and Miyu.
"Illya, Miyu, are you alright?"
Shirou, who came to safety, hurriedly cared. And Miyu blushed a little shyly because of the behavior that she had just been held in Shirou's arms.
"No... It's okay. γ
"Well, it's just a little disgusting. γ
With a disgusted expression, Illya poked the part that had just been touched by the tentacles, only to see that there was still some disgusting transparent mucus left on it. And Meiyou is even worse, because she has just been wrapped around her whole body by that tentacle, and it can be said that most of her body is stuck with that disgusting mucus.
"Let's retreat for now. γ
"Yes, yes!"
"Hmm. γ
ββββββ Dividing Lineββββββ
"Hey, Saber! It's not a way to go on like this. Retreat for now. γ
A call to the Rider in a vehicle overhead. Saber said angrily.
"What a stupid thing, if you don't stop it here......
"That's what I said, but there's nothing we can do! Listen to me first, and retreat. I have my own way. γ
As a last resort, Saber threw a blow with all his might, and as Rider retreated to the shore where Lancer and Alice Fell were, the three of them had returned to the riverbank.
As Saber jumped back into the water, Rider's chariot landed from the sky to the ground with a thunderous roar.
"Okay guys, no matter what you want to do in the future, you have to buy time first. γ
Without delay, Rider said straight to the point. Even the famous King of Conquest is not as calm and relaxed this time as usual.
"I'll use the King's Army to drag that guy into the enchantment first. But even if I do my best, I'm afraid I won't be able to solve it, at most I will trap it in the inherent barrier. γ
"What do you do after that?"
To Lancer, who had questions, Rider replied very simply.
"I don't know. γ
However, as you can tell from his serious expression, Rider is no joke.
The expediency of buying time, even if it was a secret strategy to conquer the king, could only go so far now.
"After dragging something that big inside, my barrier will only last for a few minutes at most. Be sure to come up with a winning strategy during this time, O Immortals. Boy, stay here too. γ
Before he could finish speaking, Rider put Webb off the driver's seat.
"Hey, hey!"
"Once the barrier is opened, I can't understand the outside world. Boy, if anything, concentrate on calling me, and I'll leave a herald for you. γ
Even though it was the time of the alliance, Webb thought it was extremely dangerous folly to split up with his own Servant in front of two other Servants. Having said that, in this case, no matter how much you are now on guard against the betrayal of the allies, it really won't help. Despite the trembling inwards, the boy nodded reluctantly.
"Saber, Lancer, and the boy, please. γ
"Hmm. γ
"Understood. γ
"Don't worry. γ
Although the three of them all agreed, their faces were very ugly. Everyone present understood that Rider's decision could only be an emergency and would not solve any practical problems.
Even so, Rider trusts the Heroic Spirits he has his eye on. Once the decision was made, he did not hesitate at all, and drove the chariot towards the huge sea devil without looking back.
ββββββ Dividing Lineββββββ
While there was some initial interest in this new way of playing, Archer finally grew tired of the monotonous aerial combat after several back-and-forth battles between the Noble Phantasm and the Missile.
After a few rounds of maneuvering, Archer's Vimana is now closely following Berserker's F15, and just a little shorter distance is an excellent position to attack. Sensing this, Berserker unleashed a jet acceleration at maximum power in order to escape the pursuit, while using gravitational acceleration to dive vertically.
"Less useless struggles. γ
Archer chuckled to himself and sped away in Vimona, effortlessly following Berserker's trail. In an instant, the two pierced through the clouds and fell towards the brightly lit ground of Fuyuki City.
"How about you just dive headfirst into that pile of filth? mongrel. γ
Archer unfurled the Noble Phantasm in a surrounding position, pinning down Berserker from all sides while blocking his retreat. In this way, the only way out left for Berserker was the Distant River directly below, and according to this track, it was bound to crash straight into the sea demon who was aiming at Caster, who was wriggling at the embankment.
In order to minimize the impact of the collision, the F15 erected all its flaps to violently hold the atmosphere and try to slow down as much as possible.
At this moment, the huge mass of flesh that was winding and crawling suddenly disappeared.
Rider shouted at close range and unleashed the King's army, sucking the sea devil's massive body into the inherent barrier that unfolded with his subordinate Servant. Naturally, Archer and Berserker have no way of knowing this fact. However, Archer clearly did not want to let the proud Noble Phantasm stain it with a little more dirt, and disembodied the Noble Phantasm at the moment of the collision. Berserker obviously wouldn't let go of this opportunity, not hesitating to let the costume F15 body creak, but bent the nose that looked like it was about to plunge into the river, and drew an almost right-angled track to avoid falling.
The body roared against the water, and two curtains of water were rolled up on the left and right. At the moment when the black F15 passed by the servants watching the battle on the riverbank, the heroic appearance of the knight king wearing silver and blue armor was deeply imprinted into the eyes of the crazy black knight.
In the depths of the black helmet, the eyes that had precipitated countless resentments burned violently like the fire of the red lotus at this moment.
In Tosaka's view, this battle was not a magic duel at all, but a comical farce.
Shi Chen only silently maintained the defensive formation, and did not make any moves that could be called an attack. Despite this, the night of the wild goose on the other side is already in a state of dying.
This is completely self-defeating. For the current wild goose, the act of using magic is a fatal act of suicide in itself. Presumably, as a party concerned, Yan Ye also knew it very well, but he still did not hesitate to continue to use techniques beyond his own limits, and as a result, he could only reap the consequences.
The current appearance of the wild goose night is simply miserable. The capillaries all over the body ruptured, and blood foam splattered everywhere. His own crumbling figure, which was completely unable to stand upright, seemed to be drowned in a cloud of blood. The face that rolled its eyes because it was too painful made it impossible to judge whether the person was still conscious.
"Is it so virtuous to say so loudly and unashamedly?"
And the saddest thing is that no matter how much Yan Ye harms his life to mobilize his magic, his attack has never been able to hurt Shi Chen's hair.
Moths to fire, and the current situation is simply a reproduction of this old idiom. The swarms of beetles rushed straight towards Shi Chen's flame array, but they never managed to break through the defenses, and they were all burned without a trace. As an emissary, the act of confronting the flames head-on is extremely stupid in itself. Despite this, the wild goose night's attack did not relax in the slightest, cutting its own life and driving the bugs to charge in vain, turning into bursts of flying ash.
It's a sight that makes people laugh at it. For this extremely weak enemy, Shi Chen had already surpassed the limit of contempt and began to feel a little pity for him. Soon, the flames will burn all the insects in the wild goose night. And at that time, it must be that Yan Ye himself will die of anger because he can't bear the pain. Shi Chen only needs to pay attention to maintaining his spells and watch from the wall leisurely. Under his impregnable defense, the winner will naturally be decided.
But for Shi Chen, who followed the noble devil's way, it was the greatest displeasure to continue to expose the ugliness of the misguided and depraved magician in front of his eyes.
"Intensiveeinascherung"
With Shi Chen's second verse chanting, the fire snake of the defensive array slowly meandered towards the wild goose night. The wild goose night is not even defended. For this magician, who is now learning and selling, it is doubtful whether he has the knowledge to fight against attack spells.
"Kill you, you are dirty!"
Although it was burned alive, the wild goose didn't even scream, just kept repeating the curse in a low voice. His body, which had been eaten by insects from within, may no longer feel pain.
Just as the wild goose night writhed in pain to shake off the flames that wrapped his body, he accidentally broke the guardrail. Just rolled off the eaves and fell into the darkness of the alley.
In the end, Shi Chen swept away the insects that were still entrenched around him with flames. He lifted his defenses and sighed as he straightened his clothes.
There was no need to identify the body. Even if the other party is still angry, he will definitely not live long. Next, just wait for Berserker, who has lost his Master, to disappear naturally.
According to Shi Chen's original prediction, the Jian Tong family will give up this Holy Grail War and stay on the sidelines. But now, the other party suddenly sent Yan Ye, a laggard who had long been expelled from the house, as a temporary master, which is really puzzling. Until the end, Shi Chen failed to understand the reason for Yan Ye's participation in the war.
Not wanting to be bothered by this victory, which had no sense of accomplishment and only an unpleasant aftertaste, he simply forgot about it and turned to the river to observe the battle that had begun at Caster.
