Chapter Seventy-Three: Shinji VS Red Rider

Pull back the time to the moment when Red Archer shot "Burst" Siegfried, at that time, Shinji was actually capable of helping Siegfried dodge a sudden arrow - others didn't know about the existence of Red Archer, how could Shinji not know? He had been waiting for this round of long-range strikes.

There are two main reasons why he didn't make a move and allowed Ziegfried to get injured.

First, the "Evil Dragon Blood Armor" is a damage reduction type immortal, even if it is broken through, it will reduce the damage, that arrow is not aimed at the vital point, it is impossible to kill Qi Gefei.

Second, and most importantly, Shinji has a chance to sneak up on the Red Rider. And the best time is for the rider to charge up and prepare for the moment when Siegfly is ready to take the result in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Shinji did not move, whether it was Siegfried and the Red Rider's mutual temptation, or Siegfried fell to the ground with an arrow, or Fiore's questioning, he did not move, but just waited for the opportunity and asked for reinforcements to prevent Gold from causing trouble for himself - if the fat man came to order Siegfried to use the Noble Phantasm during the sneak attack, it would be a lot of fun. One who did not make sure that the enemy was safe and sound, but he died by the sword of his allies.

Knowing that Fiore had already taken care of Gold, Shinji no longer had any worries, and when Rider was about to unleash his full blow, he used his signature "Treasure Burst".

Indra's thunder is in front, and I am holding the Ishtar spear behind, one on the top and one behind, pinching the red rider.

At the critical moment, the red rider was not panicked. The moment the unfamiliar Servant's aura and magic power fluctuated appeared, he did not hesitate to give up the target in front of him, and threw the reverse throw with great power with one hand to block the enemy's Servant's surprise attack and destroy the momentum of the flanking attack, and with the other hand, he switched weapons and withstood the unbridled thunder with his shield. By the time Shinji bypassed the throwing gun and charged again, Rider had already set up a defensive posture.

Although Shinji used all his strength, he used the maximum power of the "magic release" to only force the rider back and fly, without causing substantial damage.

If it weren't for the speed of the lightning strike that was faster than the rider switching weapons, and caused a certain amount of damage before the shield appeared, this sneak attack would have been a complete failure.

didn't kill the rider, and didn't even do it with a heavy injury, but Shinji didn't feel that it was a pity. He knew the identity of the Red Rider, he was a big hero on the same level as Siegfried, and he was not so easy to deal with.

Of course, there is no fear or anything. Since you can't kill a sneak attack, then you are just front-looking, and you are not the only one who has backup, I also have it. As long as you don't run, I'll kill you today.

Therefore, in the face of the menacing provocation of the rider, Shinji also fought back with the same fierce attitude.

The Red Rider looked at the wound on his shoulder, trembling all over. Not out of shame, but out of joy.

"Great, that's great, you guys have something over there that can hurt me. ”

The unrestrained rider vented his inner emotions with laughter, as he just said, he is the kind of hero who laughs wantonly on the battlefield.

Another hero, who had a similar physique to him and had the opposite personality, also recovered from the sneak attack, and he casually pulled out the arrows on his body, and silently set up his greatsword, ready to continue the battle.

"Two-on-two? That's not bad, let the horses come, Black Saber, Black Assassin. ”

"It's two against two, but it's not in that form. Shinji took a few steps sideways to block in front of Siegfei, "Saber, rider leave it to me, you go deal with archer." ”

Siegfried asked Shinji with his gaze.

Shinji glanced at the "eyes" in the sky: "If I'm not mistaken, his immortal body needs the power of the gods to break." You were on the defensive just now, and you instinctively felt his restraint on you. ”

To say that he is a guess is actually a sure thing, because he knows the real name of the Red Rider, and he just doesn't want to arouse suspicion.

Saber nodded in agreement.

Seeing this scene, and hearing Shinji's analysis conveyed by Fiore, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Gold's forehead.

I almost wasted the spell, but fortunately there was Fiore.

"Uncle, I think you should trust Saber a little more. Fiore let go of her clenched hands, a relieved smile on her face, "Just like I trusted the Assassin." ”

Gold didn't speak, and as he pulled out his handkerchief to wipe his sweat, he remembered what he had done, and inexplicably he thought of what the Assassin had said.

"It's true that the Servant is attached to the Master, but the Servant is not a puppet, and has great power and his own will. ”

"To exert maximum power, master and slave must reach a consensus. Otherwise, even the best job placement saber, the strongest hero, will not end well. ”

Am I really wrong?

The Master's thoughts, Siegfried didn't know. Finding that he had no way to take the rider, he chose to trust his companion and go to find another enemy.

Whispering "Be careful" to Shinji, Siegfei rushed out in the direction the arrow was coming from - he wanted to find the archer who didn't know where to hide.

"Don't thinkβ€”" How could the red rider let Saber go, and he raised his shield and slammed it straight over.

Shinji inserted the spear in his hand into the ground, and through the power released by the spear, it shook the earth, tore the surface, and blocked the red rider's footsteps.

"Your opponent is me!"

"Just an assassin?" the red rider glared at Shinji with a fierce expression, making no secret of his murderous intentions.

"Assassin is enough, haven't you heard of Kill Rider?" Shinji stared at the Red Rider without giving in.

"It's just one or two god-made treasures, so it's not arrogant!" Rider, who was provoked to anger, threw his gun and roared and launched an attack.

It was a very different style from the spearmen encountered so far, without the whimsy of Dilumudo, without the dizziness of Karna, and without the subtlety of Skaha.

Red Rider's marksmanship is as simple and unpretentious as his gun, with no tricks or disguises, and all the action is just to kill the enemy - this is a true spear honed for the battlefield.

This kind of gunsmithing may not be pretty, but it is practical enough.

Of course, there are also shortcomings, and the spear technique that only kills people is destined to be impossible to be both offensive and defensive like other spear skills, and its defense is relatively weak as the price of pursuing lethality.

However, this weakness was not a problem for the Red Rider, who had a shield and a stronger body than most Heroic Spirits - not only immortality, but also the most basic physical qualities such as strength and durability. On top of that, he also has an unrivaled movement speed, which makes even Skaha, who was strengthened with the original Rune in the battle with Artoria, weaker.

With the guarantee of speed and defense, the red rider does not have to worry about defense at all, he just needs to attack, attack, and keep attacking.

This unrestrained style of play brings even more pressure than against Karna. In just a few rounds, that simple throwing gun had grazed Shinji's vital point three times, each time closer and harder, and the most recent one almost cut Shinji's throat.

While the red rider kept attacking, he kept taunting.

"Hey, didn't you say you were going to be my opponent? ”

"What about your momentum, or do you just say that you can't do it at all?"

"Really, it provoked my blood, that's all I have to do, and sure enough, the assassin should hide in the shadows and fight some kind of frontal battle - I'm really boring. ”

"Forget it, let's end it quickly, although an assassin is a bit of a loss, it is not without results. ”

As he spoke, the red rider put away his shield, held the spear with both hands, and the whole person turned into a meteor and rushed towards Shinji.
