Chapter XVII: The Knights of the Raid
Saber Artoria's blow kicked Lohia away, and then, her small body flew over, with the blessing of the magic release, Saber Artoria's already excellent data will become even better, that is the powerful ability to forcibly withstand Surut's flames, and forcibly fight with the fire demon god, and even, Saber once had the upper hand.
With this kind of combat power, it is impossible for Lohiya to compete with her. If the greatest guerrilla advantage is lost, then there is only one conclusion, that is, Lohiya will be crushed, killed, and may not even resist, and will turn into a spirit child and return to nothingness.
If the Servant is the incarnation state of the Immortal, the Servant is killed and will return to the Immortal Seat.
But what about yourself?
A fictional heroic spirit, when it dies, will have nothing.
There is no place to go back, then, only the present, only [now], is something that Lohiya can grasp.
So...... The only thing she could do was to get the Holy Grail and make her [now] satisfied.
Not......
The air in the lungs was forced out by Saber's kick, and there was no strength in the whole body, and along the chest, the sharp pain of Saber's kick spread throughout the body. I have to say that Saber is worthy of being the best servant, even if he doesn't use a sword, the power of this kick alone is scary enough.
Lohia gritted her teeth and recklessly ripped off her cloak, the wide, dark green cloak that was the symbol of Robin Hood swung as she swung it, forming a barrier that blocked Saber's vision.
Lohia's ability is [Espionage Operation], which is an excellent ability comparable to the Assassin's Breath Blocking Skill, but unfortunately, this is not a Breath Blocking after all, it is not so powerful, first of all, this espionage operation cannot let Lohia himself reveal flaws.
For example, now, with such a large weapon in her hand, it is impossible for her to hide with the forest. Well, you might as well throw this one away!
The wide robe suddenly blocked Saber's vision, Artoria frowned, the tip of the sword in her hand shook, and the power penetrated, tearing the dark green robe to pieces at once, and through the shards, Artoria urgently captured the figure of Loshia.
Under the dark green robe, she was wearing a white tracksuit, the bright color of this set of clothes made it impossible for her to blend in with the forest at all, but Lohia was not prepared to change her clothes.
This outfit was chosen for her by Tsukahara Mingshi, and in this last battle, she wanted to fight with this memory until the end no matter what.
Can't lose, absolutely, can't lose to Saber.
Because...... Which boy chooses clothes for himself is so simple and kind. He's the kind of person who will ignore his heroic identity because he's a girl, and he's the kind of person who will stand up for the happiness of others. He's the kind of ...... Lohia wants to serve the Lord with all her heart.
Unlike Carl, who is a pure magician, Lohia trusts Carl because their interests are aligned. When interests are not aligned, both know that the other is their enemy. That's why Lohiya chose Karl as the first kill target after Surut retreated.
Compared to Saber and Shirou, she judged that Carl was the biggest enemy!
However, this is also the reason why Carl chose Lohia, because this guy is a guy who can convince her to ally as long as he has common interests.
Absolutely rational people, that's it, they don't do things according to their sensibility. Their mode of action can basically be summed up in the word "interests".
For this reason, Carl and Lohia will probably become the most tacit comrades-in-arms. However, they cannot be masters and servants who are in harmony with each other.
Only Tsukahara is the only reliance on Rohiya. This man is the only person he wants to fight for and win.
Tsukahara Mingshi is his own master. A Holy Grail War that must be won even if all intrigue is exhausted.
This was the sole purpose of Lohia's battle.
Using her cloak, and taking advantage of the only remaining glory of Robin Hood's name, Loshia won a moment when Artoria couldn't capture herself, and she took advantage of this opportunity to jump into the air and aim at Saber, and it was a shot!
The trajectory of this shot was slightly offset, I don't know if it was because of the hasty jump, her muzzle was slightly offset. If you have ever played with a toy gun, or have hit a target, you should know that as long as the gun is a weapon that deviates a little bit, the deviation of the bullet will be very huge under the amplification of the distance.
Although it was only a little offset, the blue beam would not have been able to hit Saber.
(Good chance...... Misalignment...... Not true!)
Saber was just about to rush forward, suddenly, her heart was filled with uneasiness, she didn't react, she felt that she had saved her several times, and this time, she still chose to believe her instincts.
Since it told itself that it was in danger, Saber wouldn't be suspicious.
Before the brain could draw a conclusion, the body moved first, and in a completely different direction, Saber retreated.
Yes, in the face of a battle without danger, she retreated.
Sure enough, as Saber retreated, the sharp laser beam in mid-air cut to the position where Saber was standing before as if it had been controlled!
Will the beam be deflected? Of course not, unless it is bounced off by a special medium, and that's how the beam rushes straight through. But now, the beam is deflected.
It seems like...... Yes, if you have to give an example, it's like in the Fifth Holy Grail War, Lancer Cúchulainn's Noble Phantasm [Piercing Deaththorn Spear]! The trajectory of the bullet shifted in mid-air, and it deflected along an impossible trajectory, almost piercing Saber!
From the location of that blow, it was inferred that if Saber insisted on rushing forward, he would have his legs cut off. Considering the fact that this weapon does not regenerate by damaging enemies, Saber loses his legs and is unable to resist the next blow of the Archer.
Pinching a handful of cold sweat, Saber swallowed his saliva carefully, really startled.
As soon as she looked at the ground, she understood. I see, at the moment of throwing the cloak, she first calculated her position, fired a shot at the ground, and then jumped, and then deliberately missed to give herself a flaw!
As if she had played tennis before, she deliberately made a feint to deceive herself. It's a pity that on the battlefield, once there is a crisis, the intuition will remind Saber Artoria, otherwise, something really will happen.
"Isn't it going to be so easy? Your intuition is really a troublesome skill. ”
"I think it's even more troublesome that I can't recover from the injury. ”
The two were separated by a distance of about three hundred meters, talking in the air.
Archer stood on the treetops, Saber stood on the ground, after the vigorous exercise just now, Saber Artoria's shoulder was stained red with blood, and the blue turned into dark red, sticky to the shoulder, fortunately, the wound was not deep, which did not affect his strength.
When Saber fought with Lumudo, she suffered this loss, and it was her wrist that was scratched, and she couldn't hold her sword with all her strength, and this time, it was good.
As a result, the distance between the two has widened. For Saber, naturally, he wants to bring this distance back. However, for Archer, close warfare is equivalent to a dead end, so sure enough, Archer's next step should be guerrilla warfare and continue to play the specialty of forest warfare.
Saber predicted this, his legs tensed, ready to pounce, if Archer runs, then he will have to catch up as soon as possible.
The problem is to see in what direction she is running first......
Archer took a deep breath, and Lohia poked his rifle aside, and began to tidy up his clothes.
“…… What tricks to play!"
Saber snapped and asked.
"Tricks, Saber, take a good look at yourself, do you want to meet our final battle with such a sloppy gesture?" Lohia's words made Saber stunned, not understanding what she wanted to do.
"What the hell are you trying to say?"
"At this distance, my lord can't come here, you don't have to worry. Moreover, your sabotage operation just now also destroyed my intended route, and there are no traps here. So, here, you don't have to worry about falling into the trap. ”
“…………”
"So, I asked for an intermission. I'm going to fix my hair and my clothes, and no matter which of you or I wins, we shouldn't use this gesture to meet the final end, right?"
“…… Listen to you, do you want to fight me here?"
Saber sneered and raised her eyebrows: no wonder she doesn't trust Archer, she has just been yin so many times in a row before, and she continues to believe that the other party is not called knighthood, that is stupid.
"That's it. As you know, my lord is a very weak lord, he can't hold on for long, and I can indeed continue to wear it out with you through guerrilla warfare, but then the lord can't hold on. The long war is too bad for me. So, in the next blow, let's decide the winner. ”
"Huh...... All right. If you're just tidying up your clothes, that's fine. ”
Saber slammed her sword into the ground to see what medicine she had bought in her gourd. Although he couldn't heal his wounds, BER reconstructed his spirit body, and immediately his whole person was [renewed].
Looking at Lohia again, she seemed to have lost the ability to become a spirit, like a normal human being, packing her clothes, dressing herself, dressing herself, and carefully wiping the dust and leaves off her face with a small mirror.
"Okay, no?"
Seeing her like this, Saber felt even more that something was wrong, but she couldn't say anything wrong, after all, her intuition was not reciprocated.
"Well, soon. Sorry, Saber...... I'm a fictional Heroic Spirit, and I'm ...... Whether it's the end of the battle or returning to the Lord after the victory, I hope to make the best impression on him. ”
“…… Yes. ”
I don't know how long it took, but it would be no more than three minutes at most, and Lohia straightened her clothes, combed her hair, and picked up the rifle again, and Artoria drew her sword. The two are back in combat mode again.
“saber…… I'm not going to run away this time, it's right here, let's fight it out!"
"Just what I wanted!archer!"
