Chapter 7: Calling in the Midst of Danger

Actually!

The relics have been destroyed!

Tsukahara didn't expect this kind of thing!

However, if you think about it carefully, this is not the legendary Nibelungen ring, but just a gold ring made by Carl himself, which will be shattered by a blow from the Heroic Spirit, which is also normal, right?

Ignoring the sharp pain of the shattered bones in his shoulder, the sorrow that welled up from his heart devoured Tsukahara Mingshi's body and mind from the inside out. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's all broken like this...... I'm afraid it has also lost its qualification as a holy relic, right?

If it's genuine, you might even be able to summon it...... However, it is only a golden ring...... If it's broken, it can't be related to the Nibelungen Ring.

Although Tsukahara wants to gamble his luck and summon the Heroic Spirits casually - if there are no holy relics, the summoned Heroic Spirits are usually people with similar behaviors to the Master.

But...... Tsukahara didn't dare to bet.

Because there are also those who are good at fighting and those who are not...... If you're unlucky......

Moreover, if you take 10,000 steps back, even if you are lucky enough to draw a powerful Heroic Spirit, with your own magic power...... I'm afraid it's going to be a big discount too.

The young master's dark eyes, which were as dark as the night sky, repeatedly wandered between the golden ring and the spell on the back of his hand......

Unlike the panic of ordinary people, Tsukahara Mingshi is in a very calm mood now.

Neither fear nor anger was felt, and he was so calm that even he felt strange.

Unbeknownst to him, he had already obtained the most important hole card to win the Holy Grail War.

A quality called "Crisis Peace".

When ordinary people are driven to a dead end, they will either be sad and angry, or they will collapse, or they will be excited, or they will fight to the death. And there is a kind of person, the more dangerous, the more calm, in the moment of life and death, they will even give up all complicated emotions, the heart is like water.

This is the quality of being at peace in a crisis.

This is innate, the quality of a fighter.

When Tsukahara was cornered by the assassin, he finally discovered the most powerful power buried in his heart.

No longer hesitate, the broken relic has no value, he no longer looks at it.

It doesn't make sense - reason tells him.

He snatched the holy relic that Carl had thrown at him earlier, Robin Hood's oak branch.

Legend has it that Robin Hood met his companions under the oldest and tallest oak tree in Sherwood Forest, and the foliage of the tree was deliberately intervened in the bonds of the sacred and ancient, simple and pious oak oath.

(Why...... Why don't you throw two relics together?)

(Sure enough...... Carl, did you think of the worst in the first place?)

"I am the one who accomplishes all the things in the world, and I am the one who inherits all the evils of the world."

Unable to help but say, Tsukahara Mingshi copied the oak branch and continued his incantation. Thankfully, the spells summoned by the Heroic Spirit do not change depending on the Relic.

Perhaps, Karl will blame later. Perhaps, this will cut off the chances of these two immature magicians in the Holy Grail War.

But......

If we don't continue, our lives end here!

Tsukahara Mingshi was clear in his heart: Assassin is not the kind of good doer who will let the two of them go. He understood.

Listening to him continue to chant, the Assassin knew it was bad. Although he has good frontal combat power, as an assassin and a ninja, he is always proficient in covert operations, and if he confronts other heroic spirits head-on, I'm afraid ...... And......

Must be before the call ends!

The assassin threw seven or eight throwing knives from his arms, and his figure turned, like a pitch-black fluid, sliding towards the back of Tsukahara Mingshi.

A+ level agility, which is an agility level that far exceeds the speed of human reactions. If you are human, let alone deal with it, even your eyes will not be able to catch the figure of the enemy.

The Assassin knew that there were still several bars left in the spell to summon the Heroic Spirit, and before the black-haired magician could finish the last spell, his blade would cut the artery in his neck.

"- What is the rest!My life!Our Holy Grail War cannot end here!Respond to me!Archer of the servant!Win for me!"

Tsukahara gave up the boring, lengthy and jerky mantra, gave up the unfamiliar English, and shouted out his mood with all his might in his own blood-related mother tongue.

Don't want to lose.

To win.

Don't want to die.

To win.

Wanted to do something for Carl.

Holy Grail, it's mine!

In the Holy Grail War, summoning the Heroic Spirit is the most sacred thing to do.

At the same time, it is also the least necessary thing to worry about.

Because, summoning heroic spirits is not a magic that humans can do, it is a realm that is close to magic. It is the Holy Grail that completes the Call of the Immortal, not the Master.

The Master's spell and séance array were only done to get the Heroic Spirits they needed more accurately, because the Lord's mental state would also affect the quality of the Heroic Spirits.

In fact, in the Fourth Holy Grail War, Emiya Kiritsugu summoned Saber with a very rudimentary magic séance array, and Ryunosuke Yusheng didn't even pronounce the spell correctly, and revised it vaguely and repeatedly, and he didn't figure out the number of times [Yingman] alone, and still summoned the caster. Shirou Emiya, the master of the Fifth Holy Grail War, didn't even make a formal summoning spell, and still summoned the best saber.

It can be seen that the summoning spell is not one-size-fits-all.

What connects the Lord and the Heroic Spirit is a strong desire.

Ryunosuke Yusheng had no education as a magician, and he didn't recite the spell correctly, and the talisman he drew was also drawn in human blood according to the ancient book. He was able to summon the Heroic Spirit only because he had a strong desire to see the demon and confirm its existence...... It is also because of his strong desire to live that he summons the Heroic Spirit in a crisis. Because there is a holy relic called Avalon buried in the body, it will attract the strongest saber rank.

At this time, the same is true of Tsukahara Mingshi.

The strong thought of "I need you" was clearly conveyed to the Holy Grail.

The storm roared.

It was a rush of magic.

That's the proof of the contract.

The darts thrown by the assassin were all disturbed by the storm, and the forward force was trapped by the uncertain wind, and lost its exaggerated speed.

And in the midst of that storm, the sound of the bowstring was clearly discernible.

It was the clarion call of battle that transcended the wind, beyond the roar, and was clear and unambiguous.

Feathered arrows flew, and in the wind, seven or eight feathered arrows quickly tore through the blue smoke and dust, and shot down the assassin's darts with unmistakable precision.

Not to mention anything else, just because of this unmistakable control, the one who was summoned was undoubtedly the Heroic Spirit of the Archer Rank.

The rank of Archer must be related to [Shooting Technique] or [Projectile Treasure], and in general, Archer will have quite excellent Noble Phantasm abilities.

With this in mind, the Assassin did not dare to respond to the enemy, fearing that too deep a pursuit would lead to his own defeat, and if he was forced too quickly and was used by the other party, then he would be more than lucky.

Unfortunately, although the Master can see the numerical level of the Servant at a glance, the Servant does not have this ability, and the Assassin does not know what the Archer's Noble Phantasm level is. B, or A, or even ...... Is it EX?

The unknown gives birth to fear.

Assassin didn't want to die.

The first meaning of ninja is "loyalty".

Sometimes dignity must be sacrificed for the sake of loyalty.

If it is a samurai and a knight, perhaps because of [Bushido] and [Knight Dao], they would rather die than give in. But for a ninja, this is the stupidest way to die.

Dead people are worthless.

Staying alive, offering as much information as possible to the Lord, murdering as many enemies as possible for the Lord, and obtaining as many victories as possible for the Lord, this is the loyalty of the ninja.

If you die here, you're just causing trouble for the Master—it's just a matter of solving a master, and it's not worth it at all!

The Ninja Heroic Spirit did not hesitate and decisively set the goal of his escape: to tell his master that the enemy had summoned the Archer. Moreover, one person has already been killed...... In this way, half of the goal is completed.

In the blue smoke and dust, two more feather arrows flew out, and the target was the heart of the Assassin!

Quiver!

The sound of wood.

The feather arrow is right in the heart of the assassin...... No!

At some point, the Assassin was gone!Archer's feather arrow hit a stake! The yellow-brown dry outer wall was an exaggerated ninja nightwalking suit!

This is one of the mythical ninja [Ninjutsu]: [Stand-in].

The smoke screen gradually dissipated, and Tsukahara Mingshi barely opened his eyes from the strong wind.

Before the retina recaptured the light, it was crisp and pleasant, as if the forest was stretching, and like the slow movement of the stream, the woman's voice echoed in his ears boldly and solemnly, dispelling the tinnitus caused by the storm.

"Archer of the Servant, I am here at the beckoning - are you my master?"
