"Ahem"
Zhao Yun, who was hit by the lightning-like red shadow of the gun, was half-kneeling, covering his wounded and bleeding chest with one hand, and holding the long sword stuck in the shattered ground with the other, spitting blood.
Gae.Bolg
Irish Child of Light, Noble Phantasm of Cú Chulainn.
The 'Piercing Deaththorn Spear' - a cursed spear that is sure to pierce the target's heart when fired.
No, that's not quite accurate, but if it is, there was already a 'stab in the heart' before the spear was stabbed - and the result was only before the spear was stabbed - so perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a causal weapon.
To contend with, or even dodge it, requires not a high level of agility, but instinct and luck - and perhaps magic.
Fortunately, Zhao Yun has some of these conditions.
All of them have reached B-level for magic, intuition, and luck, although they seem a bit mediocre compared to other A-level base attributes, but the combination of the three is enough to make him develop a certain resistance to curses and general 'law of cause and effect' weapons.
None of that's the most important thing, though.
Unharmed General: A
In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhao Yun has never been hit when facing an enemy's flying hidden weapon, and he has never been injured. As a manifestation of this legend, Zhao Yun will not be hit by any throwing weapon that appears within his sight (similar to Cuchulainn's 'Arrow Dodge Protection'), nor will he be affected by negative status effects such as curses, bleeding, and aging attached to enemy Noble Phantasms or abilities.
This skill up to A-rank is the biggest reason why he was not hit in the heart by Gae.Bolg.
The Piercing Spear is a Cause and Effect Weapon, but it is also a throwing weapon and a curse, so it is also within the defense range of the Innocent General.
However, the Noble Phantasm is a Noble Phantasm after all, and under the liberation of his true name, even this skill can only allow him to dodge the mortal blow to the heart, and the magic spear still pierces his chest, causing him a lot of damage.
Even if he has A-level durability, it is difficult to heal in a short period of time without the Master's healing.
"Lancer, go up and kill Saber."
While he was trying to persevere, Director Ken, who was hiding in the shadows, gave Lancer another order.
Hearing this order, Dilumudo, who was already shocked, was stunned, and then showed a serious expression that did not match his handsome face, and announced:
"My lord, the battle with Saber is my Dilumudo. Audi's battle of honor! I beg your pardon for taking advantage of people's danger."
"No, you can't!"
Mercilessly interrupted the exclamation of the enthusiastic Lancer, who commanded in a more cold tone, decisively and calmly:
"Curse, Lancer, kill Saber."
With this voice, an invisible force took effect on Lancer's body—a great magic spell that the Servants themselves could not control, allowing them to break through even the limits of their physical bodies.
“…… Saber…… Sorry ......"
Lancer, who was pained, angry, helpless, and sad with these feelings in his face and eyes, said these words with difficulty, and walked towards Zhao Yun slowly but resolutely.
"Ahem, it looks like you've met a master in a hurry! Dilumudo. In such a dangerous situation, Zhao Yun seemed to be very happy and teased, as if he did not take his dangerous situation to heart at all, although he was still coughing in some pain. At the same time, he also swayed and stood up very unsteadily: "However, even if I am attacked by that big dog, I will not simply be caught, cough cough"
Lancer did not speak—he was forced by the Curse to carry out such a humiliating order, and he was ashamed, neither willing nor ashamed to speak to the righteous and noble knight.
――Perspective Conversion Dividing Line--
"It seems that with the cooperation of the two Lancers, this powerful Saber is about to retire from the stage of the Holy Grail War."
In the basement of the Winterwood Church, fifteen kilometers southeast of Warehouse Street, where the battle was taking place, an old gramophone was placed on a table. From its brass horn came the calm, calm and calm voice of a man.
Unlike the usual gramophone, underneath the phonograph is not a disc and stylus for the record, but a metal wire attached to a large gemstone.
There is no doubt that this is a magical item.
"Ah, that's true, Sensei - if Saber's master doesn't use the Spell."
Sitting in front of the gramophone, a young man in a black priest's outfit with a serious and stereotyped expression (a young man of twenty-seven or eight?) He replied in his unheaving voice.
This seemingly boring young priest is none other than the Lord of the Assassin Heroic Soul in this Holy Grail War, Yan Feng Qili. At this point, he was observing the battle between Saber and Lancer through the shared perception provided by his Assassin Heroic Spirit near the battlefield, and using this device to pass this information to Tosaka Tokitomi, Archer's lord and teacher, on the other side.
"Well, you're right, the Rite - it's more important than a spell, or the Heroic Spirit. However, in this case, Saber's master will be in a more disadvantageous situation, but Lancer's true name and treasure have been revealed, so this spell is still worth it - Saber's master must think so. ”
"Yes, teacher."
"So, if you wait for Saber to be diverted away with the Command Spell, let the Assassin follow Lancer and see if he can find his master—that's fine, Kirley?"
"No problem, teacher."
The young priest replied without sorrow or joy, and his voice sounded very reliable, without any ups and downs
"Need to snipe Lancer's master?"
From the communicator in Emiya Kiritsugu's ear, the voice of his partner Maiya Kuyu was heard.
He is now in the container yard on Warehouse Street, and the figure of the suspected spearman master is in his sniper vision. As soon as he pulls the trigger, the other party will die instantly, and Lancer, who is armed with two guns, will also return to Valhalla because of the loss of the Master. Zhao Yun's crisis seems to be able to be solved because of this.
However, it is only a appearance.
Lancer is not the only Heroic Spirit nearby.
The Assassin who is located in the crane, the sneak attack on Zhao Yun, it is very likely that Lancer's Heroic Spirit, and even his own Heroic Spirit King Arthur are also at the Winter Wood Bridge, in this case, even if he succeeds in sniping Lancer's master, he cannot guarantee that he can leave safely.
And if he is wiped out, the other King Saber Arthur will return to Valhalla, and it is even better to watch quietly.
However, if this is not done, the only way left is to summon Saber - with her combat power, she should be able to protect Zhao Yun's safe retreat.
But in this case, it will expose the fact that you have two Sabers.
And as a former and excellent general, Emiya Kiritsugu didn't think he would be blind to the danger he was in now—not to mention that Alice Phil, who was certainly secretly observing, didn't use the Command Spell
If you look at it from this aspect, the situation is not necessarily so urgent.
But if Alice Phil is waiting to do it herself
“――!?”
Just as he was thinking this, a loud thunderclap suddenly sounded, and along with it, there was a lightning bolt that was so bright that it shone into the night!
PS: It's late, but I'm still cheeky enough to ask for collections, recommendations, and clicks for the sages of the other world.
[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, and it must be better! 】
