Chapter 11: Saber - Stronger than the Heroic Spirit
When the tip of the sword was less than a palm's distance from Xia Na, a bright light swept through the dark night sky, like a meteor flashing, and hit Kirito's sword hard.
A huge force came from the sword, and Kirito could only barely pull back the long sword, flying in the air a few times, and retreating to the top of a building before unloading the force that came.
"Who is ......" Kirito turned his head to look in the direction of the light, and saw that at the edge of the seal, a young man with short red hair was holding a longbow and shooting an arrow at this side.
"Is it the other party's master?!" Kirito took a slight breath of cool air and frowned slightly.
Although the fear of the opponent's master's strength is partly the reason, the reason why he frowns is because his own master once said that if the caster's master appears, he must retreat and not engage him.
So Kiritoro plans to get rid of Caster as soon as possible, so as not to catch up with the other master. But I didn't expect this caster to have such a strong strength, even if he used the Starburst Air Flow Slash, he didn't succeed in hitting the opponent's body with a sword, but was barely parried by the opponent with a knife, until it was dragged to the present.
"Forget it, let's retreat according to the plan." Kirito shook his head helplessly, and just wanted to turn away, but the fire in front of him rose to the sky, and several flames arced straight towards Kirito.
After Kirito swung his sword and directly split all the incoming flames, he looked at Xiana who was flapping her wings of flames and flying up.
"You guy, do you want to escape!?" Xia Na shouted with an ugly face, and then recoiled, swinging down at Kirito with the flame blade.
Kirito raised his sword in his right hand to steadily block Xia Na's blow, and at the same time, his left hand suddenly slashed several swords to his side, slashing through all the several rays of light that suddenly shot out.
In the afterglow of the explosion, Kirito glanced at it and saw that the other party's master had shortened the distance by half.
"Kirito-kun, please get out of here quickly!" Sakura's anxious shouts rang out in my head for a moment.
Kirito glanced up at the flame blade pressed against his long sword, and in the increasingly strong firelight, he smiled bitterly in his heart: "I think, it should be too late." ”
In Xiana's loud shout, the flames almost formed a huge pillar of flames, drowning Kirito with a bang, and also blasting the building under Kirito into a large hole that ran through the end.
Kirito floated in the collapsed building, slightly embarrassed.
Although Xana's simple burst of magic power seems to be huge, it is actually not comparable to the condensed and formed free method, so after Kirito was directly hit, he did not suffer much damage under the additional anti-magic power of the rank.
However, after Xia Na's delay, the short-haired red boy also came nearby and appeared on the top of a building not far from here.
"Xana! Are you okay!? The short-haired boy shouted at Xana in the air, but the person was still on the top of the building, making Kirito realize that the other party's master might not have the ability to fly.
"Kirito-kun, if it's Shirou and Caster, you won't be able to win." Sakura urged anxiously, and at this critical juncture, the name she unintentionally revealed made Kirito stunned.
Then Kirito subconsciously looked at the short-haired red boy, and suddenly felt a deep pressure enveloping his body.
Suddenly, Kirito's eyes also changed, and an unprecedented serious color slowly emerged from the bottom of his eyes, clenching his swords and facing the short-haired red boy in front of him.
It was precisely because Kirito used a sword and learned how to use the essence of a weapon to the fullest, so he could clearly feel how powerful this person standing not far away was.
If he closed his eyes, Kirito believed that what he felt was not a person in front of him, but a sword that had been unsheathed, and it was a myriad of terrifying swords.
This kind of huge pressure, which can only exist when single-handedly taking on some final boss, actually comes from a teenager who is not much different from him, which makes Kiritoro's heart faintly rekindle a trace of irrepressible fighting intent.
However, it seems that the master has a lot to do with the person in front of him who should be called "Emiya Shirou", so he doesn't want to fight him openly, so if you fight, maybe you have to wait until next time.
Kirito shook his head regretfully, then ignored the two in front of him, and decisively turned around and swept out of the Dao Phantom, rushing towards the outside of the seal.
At this time, Shirou Emiya and Xia Na over there also finished communicating superficially, and when they saw that Kirito turned around and flew away, the impatient Xia Na immediately rushed into a rage and chased Kirito.
But faster than her, there were more than ten bright lights that suddenly pierced out behind her, all shooting towards Kirito who was rapidly leaving.
Kirito heard the sharp sound of breaking the air behind him getting closer, turned his head to take a look, and then his speed skyrocketed again, and he swooped towards the ground.
In the complex terrain full of obstacles near the ground, Kirito easily continued to move irregularly around or over the clearing, leaving behind all the light that was chasing him, causing a loud explosion.
In the full-speed flight between Kirito and Xana, he quickly threw the slightly slower Emiya Shirou away for a long distance.
Suddenly, Kirito dodged and turned into a small alley between two buildings, and after Xia Na subconsciously rushed in, she couldn't help but stop in a hurry.
I saw Kirito standing on the ground, and the street lights of the alley were shining in, and the edge of light and darkness was behind him, and if he took a step back, he would disappear into the light.
"Didn't you run away?" Xia Na landed slowly, put away her flame wings, and waved the sword in her hand coldly.
As long as she delays a little time, Emiya Shirou will arrive, and when the time comes, with the strength of the two of them, they can definitely leave Saber in front of them.
Kirito shook his head, scratching his head like an ordinary boy, and said, "Today's battle was really good, but my master wanted to retreat, so he had to go first...... If you win, wait until the next meeting. ”
"You can't escape!" Xia Na took a step closer, trying to force the other party to take a fighting posture, but the other party shrugged, and the double swords turned into points of light in his hands and dissipated.
Then he took a step back, and his whole body disappeared into darkness.
"Don't run!" With a fierce swing, an arc-shaped flame blade rushed out, but when it lit up the darkness in front of her, Kirito's figure was gone.
"What's going on!?" Shana stepped forward in shock, but there was an empty silent alley in front of her, and Kirito was nowhere to be seen as if it had never existed.
"Could this be the reason why the other party followed us but never found out?" Arastre's tone was very confused, "I can't detect how the other party left, and I can't feel the other party's breath at all." ”
When Xia Na was also puzzled, the footsteps of Emiya Shirou were heard behind her.
"Xana, how's it going?" Emiya Shirou walked up to Xana's side with a hint of worry on his face.
Xia Na shook her head slightly: "The other party escaped, and I don't know how the other party escaped at all......"
Then she paused and said in a low voice, "...... It's like being swallowed up by darkness. ”
"Engulfed in darkness!?" Emiya Shirou frowned suddenly, turned his head and looked at the dark depths of the alley in a daze, was silent for a long time, and whispered softly, "Could it be you......"
“…… Cherry? ”
