Chapter 42 A good hand is played poorly
Illya was genuinely scared.
She knew about vampires, and vaguely knew that this race was real, but she never imagined that such a fantastical existence would appear in front of her, and she saved herself and her mother.
"Big, big sister, she, are they vampires?"
Skaha smiled and explained, "Yes. From a vampire's point of view, they are still very young and belong to the nascent vampires. The recovery ability is not as strong and requires blood to stimulate regeneration. β
"What should I do?"
This question also shows that Illya has made a decision. Although it hurts to bleed, and she is a girl who is afraid of pain, they saved themselves and their mother, and they can't leave them alone.
"Cut open the vein, drop blood into their mouths, and I'll tell you when it's time to stop. Be careful not to let their teeth touch your body, or you will become a vampire too. β
"Well, I see, thank you, big sister. β
Hearing Skaha's explanation, Illya nodded firmly.
However, before she could use her magic to make a blade and cut her wrist, the woman in the trench coat who fell to the ground suddenly struggled to sit up and shook her head at Illya.
"Don't, don't do it, we're not going to suck your blood. β
"Why?" asked Illya, puzzled, "isn't my blood good?"
"No, no, yes. The woman looked incoherent, "Yes, your blood doesn't work." β
"Why? Illya's little face fell, and her little mouth suffocated, "Big sister." β
Skaha continued to take on the role of solving doubts, "It's not that your blood doesn't work, it's just that they don't want to suck your blood." However, your current state, if you don't replenish your blood in time, I'm afraid you won't last long. β
"Even if I die, I won't suck her blood. The other woman said weakly, "It's more painful than death." β
"I've been persevering so far, and it seems that your determination is really strong. Shinji walked up to the two of them, picked up the pistol of the woman in the trench coat, and said thoughtfully, "Although there are still many mysteries that have not been solved, for Kiritsuke's sake, I can't let you die like thisβSister R, please go to their place and bring all the blood bags in the refrigerator." β
Medusa had only been knocked away by Hercules before and was not injured, but at this time, like Shinji, she stepped aside. She shook her chin in the direction where Hercules was, a slight hesitation in her tone.
"This ......"
"It doesn't matter. Shinji waved his hand, "Alice Field's treatment is over, with me, Artoria and the master here, Berserker can't make waves, and I've found a way to deal with him." β
"Listen to my brother, Rider, go and get back quickly, be careful on the way. β
"Understood. β
Hearing Sakura's order, Medusa no longer hesitated, and even Cu Chulainn, one of the fastest spearmen, was willing to bow to the wind and disappeared into the night like a phantom.
"......" The woman in the trench coat looked at the place where Medusa disappeared, a little confused, "She knows where we live?"
"Of course I do. During this time, she has been monitoring your every move, when you go out, where you go, and how long you stay. β
Shinji looked at the woman in the trench coat with a smile, and the latter's body shook, then lowered his head and whispered.
"It is worthy of being the only escort recognized by Her Royal Highness 'Bai Ji' for eight hundred years, and His Excellency the 'Blue Knight' is really powerful. I thought we were hiding well enough, but you found out. I wonder what the flaw is in, when we haven't sucked anyone's blood directly. β
"Don't underestimate the sensitivity of a professional vampire hunter to vampires, I'm not naΓ―ve enough to let two vampires hang around under my nose and know nothing - gossip later, deal with this raging big trouble first. β
As he spoke, a new change took place on the battlefield not far away.
Distanced enough to make sure it wouldn't affect the wounded, Artoria finally let go and began to exert her strength.
Hercules' attacks were still so ferocious, like a hurricane, raging wildly, destroying everything it came across. Trees, stones, walls and buildings were swept up and crushed by the fierce hurricane.
Artoria is no longer a warrior who faces the hurricane and fights the hurricane with his own strength. Her steps became erratic, taking advantage of her petite body, transforming herself into a dexterous petrel, sometimes flying with the force of the wind, sometimes through the gaps of the hurricane, to the eye of the storm.
In the whirlwind of waving and the raised clods of earth, the knight maiden stepped out of her armour, and handed a sword to the giant's neck.
The giant was wounded.
Although the wound was not deep, although it healed quickly under the giant's strong restorative power, he was indeed wounded by Artoria, without anyone intervening, one-on-one.
Ignoring his wounds, the giant slashed back with his axe and sword, and the slightest touch of the furious force would break bones. But Artoria, who was in the midst of it, did not hesitate at all, and danced steadily in the storm.
Seeing such a scene, even if he has the ability to kill gods, Skaha, who has been out of the world for many years, can't help but light up his eyes.
"Compared to ten years ago, her swordsmanship has improved dramatically. That way, even if I hadn't done that last time, she wouldn't have been able to win. It seems that she has no time to spend in the sea of stars. It's good, so it's worth fighting. β
If it was Artoria during the last Holy Grail War, even if Hercules was in a state of madness, it would not be so easy for Artoria to injure him. Although King Arthur, CΓΊ Chulainn, and Hercules are known as the "Three Shines of Europe", but purely comparing martial arts, Artoria "in life" is still much weaker than the other two.
However, after 1,500 years of time, everything has changed, and now there are no dead ends in Artoria, no matter which aspect is worthy of the name of "Europe's Three Shines", and Skaha has to take it seriously.
Then, the Queen of the Shadow Nation sighed regretfully at one of the other "Three Flares".
"Berserker is a shame in comparison. With such a strong physique, the skills he practiced, and his extraordinary fighting instincts, he was able to capture even Saber's 'invisible sword', but it was difficult to use it due to the limitations of his position. If you can, I really want to have a duel with him in a sober state, and it will definitely be very enjoyable. β
With her eyes, she could see how powerful Hercules could be for a sane Hercules, a warrior who was more pure than both Cuchulin and Artoria, and the opponent that Skaha wanted to fight the most.
"That's why I'm saying that Yahad is an idiot, that Einzberen draws a good hand every time and plays a bad hand every time. β
Shinji scoffed, making no secret of his contempt for the patriarch of Einzbelen.
PS: Silly Hair, Big Dog, and Uncle Hai are tied for the "Three Shining Europeans" not only because these three are strong enough, but also because they will get a huge bonus in Europe. Think about it, Uncle Hai's twelve trials + twelve glory, the big dog adds the chariot castle sleepless protection, etc., and the dumb sword scabbard may even add a Camelot - so many sub-species of Holy Grail wars in the FA world will evolve into a battle for holy relics, because the victory or defeat is prepared before the war starts.
