Chapter Eighty-Four: Expectation
The sky was sliced by the light. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
By the time the light shone brightly, most of the park had been reduced to rubble, and the concrete floor had been turned open to reveal parts of the dirt. The remains of the lionmon's corpse were also evaporated, and the scene looked like it had been attacked by a bomb.
But - failed, in terms of results, it was a failure. The Assassin was not hit, which was the end that no one expected, and the duel between the assassin and the swordsman ended.
"Didn't hit? What a quick response, that young man...... It's different from when we first met.,I didn't expect it to be an unusually decisive guy.ć ā
Saber shook his head in disappointment, and re-entered the Wind King's enchantment.
It was only three precious magic spells that bound the Heroic Spirit. If used lightly, it may even lead to the betrayal of the Heroic Spirit. In fact, the abort of the First Holy Grail War was due to the fact that the system of spells had not yet been completed.
Also, in order to complete the final step of the Holy Grail...... For that purpose, the Master would need to keep the spell as much as possible anyway. It can be said that the people who use the Command Spell rashly are either fools who simply don't understand the Holy Grail War, or they have no intention of getting the Holy Grail at all, or they believe in the bond between themselves and the Servant.
If you can really establish a bond in just a few days, it is really an enviable master. Saber himself and Illya get along well, but nowhere near the level of trusting each other from the bottom of their hearts - just as Saber was feeling about it, he heard something fall behind him.
He turned around, only to find that Illya was lying on the ground, her condition was unusual, her pale face was sweating profusely, her breathing was painful and rapid, and her lips were abnormally slightly purple.
Saber hurried forward, and with a keen eye, he quickly noticed the small stab in Illya's neck that had been stabbed by the Assassin.
- What is this? Poisoned?
- I see, that Assassin, I should have thought about it, is there poison on her knife too?
Remorseful, Saber disarmed himself from fighting and was about to take Illya to the hospital. But the question that immediately came to mind was, would modern medical technology have an effect on the poison inflicted by this heroic spirit?
The situation was critical, presumably a poison similar to a neurotoxin, which had already flare-up so quickly that Illya had passed out in less than a few seconds. However, worthy of being the king of a country, Saber began to quickly calm down at this time, thinking about countermeasures.
This poison is not something that the doctor can solve, but Merlin or Guinevere are the best at solving it. And in modern times, who magician would want to save Illya?
Rin Tosaka? No, even if it's a temporary alliance, they are enemies after all, and there's no guarantee that she won't do anything harmful to Illya. Emiya Kiritsugu? Saber hates this guy, but he won't hurt Illya.
No, isn't there another person to whom he can turn to?
"Don't move! Raise your hands and slowly walk away from that girl! ā
Two red and blue police cars blaring sirens roared up, and several police officers rushed out of the cars, raising their stun guns against the rioters at Saber. Saber immediately understood the reason, it seemed that the movement and destruction caused by the use of the Holy Sword made the police think that there was an explosion attack here, and that he and Illya were the only ones at the scene, and no matter how they looked at it, they were all prisoners.
"Immediately put your hands behind your head and crouch on the ground! Move slower! ā
Seeing that Saber did not move, the police issued another warning. At the same time, he suspiciously glanced at the temple of light floating in the air. They also suspected that Saber had something to do with the floating object in the sky, so they would take such a tough attitude.
It doesn't take seconds to take down the cops, but Saber comes up with a better way to deal with it. He obediently complied with it, and defended it in a serious, awe-inspiring tone.
"I'm Seba from England, and I live in the East Wood Church, where I have my identification. I can testify that the person who destroyed this place is not this girl, she is now infected with a neurotoxin and the situation is dangerous, only the priests of the Togi Church have this serum. ā
That's right, the priest of the Togi Church, Shirou Tsunomine, who had previously protected Illya under Berserker. In this regard, he can be trusted, and in addition, he is better at healing magic than Rin Tosaka and Emiya Kiritsugu.
Maybe Saber's attitude is too dignified, or maybe it's because of his kingly temperament. These words were heard in the ears of the policemen, and they were incredibly shocked with real feelings, and their eardrums and hearts.
While carefully handcuffing Saber, they contacted the Togi Church to verify his identity and called an ambulance for Illya. Although there was no way to expel the toxin for Illya, seeing that she had calmed down under the first aid, Saber quietly stepped into the police car.
*******************************************
"I'm sorry, my lord, but it looks like I failed this time."
In the face of irrefutable facts, the Assassin lowered his head and looked at the dagger in his hand. It's rare that our lord spent a lot of effort to buy and make this magic costume for himself, but he didn't kill Saber's master.
A magic costume is a prop used as a support for magicians when they perform magic tricks. In fact, most of the treasures held by the Heroic Spirits are magic costumes with limited functions. However, the general magic costumes and the treasures held by the Heroic Spirits are too powerful, and they are derived from legends and are regarded as pairs with the Heroic Spirits, so they can become [Treasures].
It's just that, for this young [Genius], Vlatt Escaldes, it seems that it is not too difficult to create a magic costume that can be used by the Heroic Spirit.
"No, you're not hurt."
Vlatt stepped forward with a smile, his eyes tenderly staring at the Assassin, gently caressing her face.
"I ...... My lord? ā
Flatt's unexpected actions caused the Assassin's face to flush and his neck to shrink. Few men touched her during her lifetime, but she never felt so shy.
"I've met a lot of people, some of them are mediocre, some of them are less accomplished, and some of them are outstanding. However, I have never met someone as glorious as you. ā
The earnest-speaking Flatt exudes the charm of a prince, with a handsome face, a deep voice, and a calm and elegant attitude, which is lethal to women. The turquoise eyes seemed to capture the soul of the Assassin with his gaze alone, and there was undisguised pity in his eyes.
"Listen carefully, I have never loved a person until ...... I met you. ā
However, the Assassin finally realized that something was wrong.
āā¦ā¦ Lord, isn't this the movie you just watched? ā
"Ah that's right, wouldn't the girls be happy if the actor in the movie said this just now? That's why I want to imitate it like this...... How's it going, have you calmed down? ā
Calm or something, it's actually beating faster than just now, even when I was almost killed by Saber, my heartbeat wasn't so nervous. Assassin couldn't help but sigh and said, "Thank you for your kindness, by the way, Saber just said something about England or something, and we also saw the appearance of the sword, this is probably a clue to Saber's real name, right?" ā
"Ah, Saber just now? It's so handsome, probably His Majesty the King. However, isn't it better to reveal your true identity as late as possible? That's what makes it interesting! So let's leave that alone and find the next target. ā
His eyes sparkled, and his tone was full of anticipation.
