Final Tick Act 3: Scarim
Act 3: Scarim
Caster's will returned, and it did not notify its lord March in the first place.
"A martial artist, and he is loyal to the empire, so it's not suitable for me to play...... Pretending to be injured, he asked for more mana supply, and secretly built a worm hive, leaving behind the power to insert the Demon God Pillar......"
"As long as the Demon God Pillar is still there, I can maintain the current realm, but I really can't do it, and it's not difficult to control a knight as a master with worms. β
The compound eyes of the flying insect reflected everything, and the unknown rank of the Judgment Herald in his thoughts still brought a strong sense of excitement and crisis. That's definitely the case of a guy who is even more out of the ordinary than himself......
"Alas, when I have planted the pillars and built the hive, I will have the confidence to fight against anyone. β
......
In front of the city gates, the three reached the end of the long procession.
"Before we get to the front, I'll say it first. β
Wei Xiu squatted down, grabbed the two girls and instructed, "It's impossible for me to go straight with this body." Such large parcels are also not suitable for mixing in with refugees. I'll jump in just looking for weak defenses, and you'll go through the front door to see what signs the refugees are going to have. Take these rune stones. β
Wei Xiu took out the rune stone that he had rubbed out with little magic power, and there was a faint light on it: "Concealment magic aura, flash, stealth, electric shock...... Not very strong stuff, mainly used to support until I arrived. Don't be stingy with the spell when you're in danger, just call me out. β
"That's it, I'll jump in first. I'll come to you when you're in. β
Petra and Nala nodded obediently, consciously dressed as refugees: tattered clothes, few parcels, dirty marks......
Lancer took advantage of his speed and jumped up one of the surrounding rivers.
"The guards under the war are still quite strict, but the level of mortals is still not enough to keep up with the speed of the servants, not to mention that I still have hidden runes. β
But this inspection procedure is quite serious, huh? Do you focus on checking your hands...... Hands, spells?
"Ah, it seems that there is a person who can influence the defense of the city and summon the servant, who could it be?"
Also, how do you hide it, or don't hide it?
Since the other party is acting so blatantly, it is either confidence, stupidity, or some kind of signal...... A signal of cooperation and alliance.
Lancer crouched on top of a brick house inside the city gate, wrapped aside, and himself an agitated observer of the city walls.
"If you're planning an alliance or going to war, you'll at least scout. At my level as a detective, unless I'm an Aura Blocking A-level assassin or higher, I'm going to be the first to strike...... Well, found it. β
Not having been spiritualized, or even hiding her form, the girl with the sword was closing her eyes, only to open her emerald green eyes when she felt Lancer's gaze.
Gray-haired, blue-eyed, like a girl, wearing a pitch-black armor, I don't know which heroic spirit it is.
βSaber...... Yes. β
"Exactly. β
Wei Xiu's whispering was caught by the other party and replied.
The girl leaps off the wall, and on the small roof, Saber and Lancer meet.
"By the behest of my master, unknown servant, I extend my goodwill to you and to your master. β
Aren't you here to go to war......
Wei Xiu's mood was a little solemn, the best rank was not exaggerated, just from the black sword that had never been hidden, he could feel the heavy pressure, at least it was also an A-level treasure.
"I, on behalf of my lord, accept it. So, Saber, right, do you have any demands?"
"I have the honour to convey the words of my Master: Show kindness to a servant who has good intentions, and destroy a servant who does not say that he goes to war, and obey at least the minimum of the laws of Scarim. If you want to form an alliance, you can come to the Church of the Holy Fire. If you come with kindness, I will return the favor. In addition, there are currently three known servants in the city, including you and me. β
β...... Understood, then please at least don't embarrass my master. β
Saber, a gray-haired and black-armored girl, nodded harshly: "I'll convey it." People with red marks on the back of their hands will pass directly. β
"Thank you. Also, my name is Wei Xiu, a pioneer in judgment. β
"My name is Ash, my title: the best knight under the night sky, the cloud elves. β
Oh roar, another gamer. But what's the deal with this character...... It's weird. Does the person who participates in the "game" or other creatures create such a personality?
......
"Yo, Petra. I've found a place to stay, and I'm not going to see what you mean. β
The Petranara sisters, who had successfully entered, were picked up by Wei Xiu and discussed while walking aimlessly.
"In the Sacred Fire Church, there is a master, and the servant is Saber's appearance, at least the servant's character is good. β
Petra was a little at a loss, she was completely unprepared to give orders: "That, this, teacher, what is your opinion?"
Wei Xiu smiled kindly, "While I am still in the realm, you can ask for my advice." But sooner or later you will need to support your world, and sooner or later you will need to take care of your sister. My opinion doesn't really matter, sooner or later I need to be hostile to the other side. But for now, living inside is also one of the options, but it's not good. β
"With my tactics, the most appropriate way is to find a spiritual vein, defend the city, and participate in the battle through long-range attacks. Replenish mana, seize the location, and protect the master......"
Wei Xiu said at length, but it was very simple to summarize: "The most direct reason is that the sacred fire is conducting a witch hunt, so it is not credible." β
"Well, we ......"
"Around, there is a node of a spiritual vein on the sea. I'm going to gather some supplies and stick to the sea ......"
......
As the most prosperous city in the north, Skarim is naturally the largest seaport.
The stony harbor extends out into the sea, where ships of all sizes anchor or anchor. Even if the north and the south are at war, they still have to go through trade, after all, the days go by, if the war does not burn here, and the actual controllers of the city do not stand in line for a day, the city will not change much.
The money Wei Xiu saved by exterminating those bandits along the way came in handy, buying a lot of things from the market that looked messy, but if you look at it from a wizard who is good at rune craft, you can see that these are the materials for making rune stones.
There is also a part for drawing, which has been used up.
Lancer isn't good enough to tread water, but he can travel offshore with a little landing, such as a plank or something. At the slightest risk of the Master's being threatened and spending a spell, she was ready to take advantage of the fact that the other guys were still watching when she first entered the city gates.
At this moment, there are at least three horsemen in the city, and it is not advisable to stay for a long time, Wei Xiu plans to leave that night.
"Petra, take Nala and pinch the runestone. I have already laid it out at sea. β
"Hmm!"
Wei Xiu, who had already brought the package to the sea stronghold, traveled lightly at this time, and had no intention of viewing this pearl at all, and they wanted to leave in a hurry after arriving less than a day.
However, how can Lucky E not have some twists and turns?
"What's the matter with such a hurry?"
As far as possible along the alley, the three people who walked through the shadows unknowingly came to a certain house, and the closed back door opened sooner or later, I don't know whether they were prepared or reacted on the spot.
Lancer stretched out his hand to protect the Master's sisters, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he was already in a fighting stance!
β...... The situation is still unclear, and who knows the rules of this holy war?"
The other party walked out of the dim room, tall figure, purple hair almost down to the ground, covered eyes but stared at Lancer as if they had no effect, black clothes wrapped in a figure far beyond the sum of the three daughters of the Lancer group, no weapon in his hand, no rank, let alone depth.
Another figure hid behind the purple servant, shrouded in shadows and unable to see - even the detective's powers of observation could not be seen clearly.
Capabilities for counter-reconnaissance...... Is it the servant, or the master's?
The great detective subconsciously reasoned and integrated the information: Caster is the Ned camp and should still be in the Will Wilderness, Saber seems to be the Scarrim City camp, or the Holy Fire camp, and I am the outcast camp, so there seems to be no pattern......
The information of the Servant in front of him is unknown, but it does not conflict with the gray Servant, and it seems to be reasonable...... Or is it that the other side has already formed an alliance and wants to eat us?
Lancer's silence did not stop the other party, the purple servant blocked one side of the alley, blocking Lancer's progress, and the master hiding in the shadows spoke in a soft tone, but said cold words:
"War, just fight and kill. If you don't show enough strength, your little master will be my trophy along with victory. Hehehe, if you look closely, it's pretty beautiful, but it's too shriveled. β
Wei Xiu glanced at the surrounding terrain and calculated his location: the back alley of the pink lantern......
"It turned out to be the owner of the pink lantern. It's rumored that you're a half-elf, a goblin, or something, but I didn't expect you to be a night demon. "Love Literature Network
The female night demon pretended to panic in her voice, and retracted into the shadow with her hands on her chest: "Oops, I was seen through." β
Then his voice turned cold and he gave the order: "In that case, kill her, Rider!"
Cavalry......
Wei Xiu only had time to have a flash of thought, and he was attracted by the whirring sound of breaking the air. The thrown weapon had a massive impact, tearing through the air and nailing it to Lancer's eyebrows, and the purple phantom that followed behind it was not slow at all, kicking its long legs, leaving a large crater and sending itself out like a cannon chamber, forming a combo.
"Master, stand back. β
Wei Xiu was in danger, his right hand summoned the holy spear to remove the spikes like a poisonous snake Xinzi, put his left hand on his waist, and opened fire with a distant call, forcing the purple phantom back two steps.
The silver servant's dual weapons and the night demon who watched the battle frowned, is it Lancer or Archer?
And Rider, who was in the game, did not hesitate at all, avoided the muzzle of the gun, and made all kinds of unbelievable changes with the help of the chain like a spirit snake behind the spike, launching a surprise attack from above, rear, and side, any direction!
Lancer was able to keep up with Rider's movements as she pulled out her spear, but she was slightly irritated by the fact that she never collided with herself. With the same agility, he has to protect the master behind him, if the other party really has the intention to dodge and consume, he really has no good way!
What's worse is that, as far as Wei Xiu knows, the female night demon itself has average magical power, but she can absorb a man's energy to accumulate magical power. Next to her is the other party's base camp, how much magic does the female night demon store...... Wei Xiu didn't want to know at all, because that would only make her envious!
Wei Xiu, who has no magic power and can't blame his own master, secretly gritted his teeth and planned to make a hole for the other party!
Mana Doha! See how much mana you spend to repair your Achilles!
For the Servant, the only real fatal wound is the spirit core located in the heart, after all, it is a body woven by magic. But if you have a broken hand or a fatal wound in the sense of another mortal, you need to consume mana to repair it, otherwise you still have to die. In other words, in the face of wounds, servants have more options than mortals to repair them with magic.
Lancer's right hand clamped the hideous spear that stabbed whoever was cracking, and the magic power fluctuations around him violently stirred, and the magic power converged on the ability of the "famous detective", bursting out with a near-predictable calculation ability!
"A shot is here, and then the other party's evasive route is...... Intercept...... Multiple Interception ...... The ultimate opportunity is in ......"
It's just a shaking effort, the fluctuation of magic power has subsided, and Lancer, who is sure in his heart, smiled proudly and said provocatively: "Come again, this time to defeat you!"
The Purple Servant seems to have some nothingness, and in the face of provocations and possible traps, he still tries to raid according to the predetermined route and established tactics, like a delicate machine.
The spikes and chains in his hands writhed strangely, scattering in the middle of the alley to form a foothold and a grab point, and Rider swirled and flew in the air like the best gymnast, dodging the magic bullets as if agreed, and quickly moving around Lancer without entering the range of the holy spear.
It's like juggling, and it's in crisis everywhere.
However, after a few seconds, Lancer realized that something was wrong, before the provocation, the other party would always try to break into the range of the Holy Spear, but now he simply swung around, as if sensing that Lancer was about to kill with the Holy Spear.
Hiss...... That's a sharp intuition, isn't it?
Wei Xiu was a little helpless, what he was most afraid of in the tactical change on the spot was the opponent's intuition, and there was the possibility of countering the general's army, but the intuition superman had no chance.
"So you can only fight hard?"
Wei Xiufa refuses to engage in melee combat from the bottom of his heart, just wielding the holy spear has a good consumption, and the chain is very unfriendly to the weapon of the holy spear, and it must be covered with magic to ensure that it can be opened as soon as it is locked...... But Wei Xiu is poor! He has no magic power! He can't make up for his demons!
At this point, you can only reveal one hole card, and it is a card that does not violently consume your own magic power!
Wei Xiu, who was in a hurry, burst into a burst of magic power, and set off a violent wind pressure with the holy spear as the center, and Rider retreated cautiously, but the alarm bell rang loudly in his heart!
Worst!
Subconsciously stay away from the magic of the rolling servant This is common sense, and the good fighter will turn this common sense into instinct. It was by harnessing this instinct that Lancer was able to make a surprise attack on the spiders!
The already deep atmosphere of the alley is even more depressing, and bursts of waves ripple out of thin air, like the folds of space sounding. The black arthropod poked out silently but with great speed, piercing straight into Rider's flank!
This is the result of Rider's best efforts to roll over on his side!
The spider retreated with a single blow, and Lancer took the opportunity to withdraw the holy spear and call from afar, picked up Sister Petranara with both hands, jumped high, no longer concealed her whereabouts, and went straight to the docks!
"Hmm!"
Rider who fell to the ground snorted in pain, the spider's poison had begun to spread, and if he didn't have the ability to resist poison, he might be able to harvest a human head with just one blow.
But the Reapers weren't the plan for tonight, and delaying time for this would put the cart before the horse. As long as he arrives at the spiritual veins on the sea, Wei Xiu has magic power to attack and defend, and then harvesting is the best strategy.
The next moment Rider was injured, the Daredevil turned into a shadow and returned to the pink lantern - this is her shop, her restaurant, and her position!
It was a moment late, and a few shadows turned into tentacles to drag the paralyzed Rider back.
The alleys then returned to tranquility, with only the pits of magic bullets and a small pool of blood proving the fight.
......
Lancer's speeding through the harbor was not stopped by Saber or any other servant, much to her mixed joy.
Glad that the plan went smoothly. This plan is one of the safest strategies, and it is not impossible to deal with any situation.
It has been a while since the start of the holy war, but Scarim, one of the central points of the war, has only two servants whose original place is here, and the other servants are afraid that they will be able to gather together, and they don't know how long this war will span.
In case it becomes a continent-wide war...... Lancer is not a Rider again, it doesn't have that much maneuverability!
Out of caution, Lancer scattered his little spiders close to the harbor as a guard, but no one approached the harbor until the three of them boarded the ship and arrived on an ultra-small island not too far away.
"Alas...... Forget it, I'd better solve the problem of magic and the safety of the master first......"
In order to avoid this feeling of mediocrity, Wei Xiu decided to farm with peace of mind, ignoring the battle within dozens of miles, and pounced on the access point that arranged the Demon Net Deep Hell!
"Holy Lance!"
Lingzi condensed a holy spear like a round tower, and nailed the tail of the spear into the node of the spiritual vein like an anchor as the cornerstone and fixation, and arranged a small formation of accumulating magic power with the rune stones that had been prepared in advance.
This move caused Wei Xiu to temporarily lose the means to invoke the holy spear, and could only use it as Archer. Moreover, the magic power consumption of hand-rubbing rune stones also made Wei Xiu very congested, and the remaining magic power did not want to be liberated by a single treasure, and it was currently equivalent to a super soldier who was sealed with a big move...... Even the spiders can't continue to summon them except for the ones they have already summoned, and the spider lord is cooperating with the arrangement in the deep hell of the magic web, and has no spare energy.
"I hope to get through the most dangerous moments...... Regardless, it's a big deal to consume the spell to restore mana, and it's wasteful, but it's worth it. β
Servant Information!
Rider Medusa (close to the monster), monster camp.
Tendon B, Agility A+, Durability D, Mana B, Lucky D.
Rank Skills:
For magic B, it's very strong for magic!But the magic that can't resist the spell is basically a decoration......
Riding A, you can ride almost anything. But it has been weakened because of the monstrosity.
Skills:
If you act alone, you can survive for a day even if you lose your master. If you suck blood, it's even longer. (Wei Xiu can also extend it if he absorbs the magic power of the Demon Net Hell, or if he prepares a formation to gather magic power in advance, but the servants who do not have the master as an anchor point are consuming a lot of magic power all the time.) οΌ
Strange force B, explosive power.
Petrified MONOCULUS A+, which can petrify the terrifying MONOEYE of the Servant who lacks mana, and unconditionally petrify the Servant below Mana B, and it is possible that petrification will put heavy pressure on the Servant with A-level Mana B. Restricted by "Self-Sealing Dark Temple".
Divinity E-, a divinity that has almost disappeared due to its approach to monstrosity, is of little use.
Noble Phantasm:
Self-Sealing Dark Temple, Treasure for People C-, the form is an eye patch, the effect is to limit the onset of the Demon Eye, usually used on oneself, and can also dominate the consciousness of others to a certain extent. But at this moment, it also has the effect of limiting its own monsterization.
The Seal of the Other: Blood Temple, Enchantment Noble Phantasm B, unfolds an enchantment like blood, and continues to absorb the magic power of the creatures in it to supply its own Noble Phantasm. Due to the severe damage to the leylines, it is almost impossible to use it twice in the same location.
Riding the reins of the Hero, the Treasure Phantasm of the Army-, the Treasure Phantasm that was abandoned due to its close to monstrosity. The summoner's strange operation caused the original mounted Medusa mount to be sacrificed in exchange for another Noble Phantasm......
Snake Hair Witch,Enemy Treasure Ex,Turn yourself into a monster.,Have melee combat ability beyond the mad rank.,Liberation of the treasure will automatically destroy the Dark Temple.,Activate the Blood Temple with itself as the center.,And immune to the control of the spell.,Carry out indiscriminate attacks.γ In other words, after liberating this treasure, Medusa can only appear in the realm for more than a day (acting alone).
As a servant in the original system, but under the strange operation of the female night demon, it has become an existence similar to the mad level or the hatred level, but there are already people in the mad rank, so it has become this posture of not going up and down.
She is like the sea devil summoned by Marshal Big-eyed Moe, the cat tea who unleashed the wild boar of divine punishment, and the ghost general who protected the country and the grand duke who unleashed the inheritance of blood...... To put it simply, you will definitely die, and there will be no plot to destroy the world.
The value of Medusa, who did not activate the last Phantasm, but thus lost the reins of the powerful Phantasm, decreased slightly, but was still strong in small heads-up, such as Petrified MONOCULUS, Petrified MONOCULUS, and Petrified MONOCULUS...... A+ level, hey, no servant who has no magic power A is qualified to stand in front of her, and this is a range skill, in case the master is also nearby, the battle situation will explode.
Oh, and aside, a certain Demon God Pillar's "Full Power of this World" is probably similar to that of the Medusa.
......
Don't you think there's something missing? Yes, the gray and black cloud panel is not yet ready to be announced.
