Chapter 54: Rider Exits
The Templar Church in Fuyuki City is both the overseer of the Holy Grail War, and at some point it can be transformed into the biggest cheater in the Holy Grail War.
Not to mention anything else, just the special secret method of the Church, which can be removed as a magic crystallization by psychic surgery, determines the objective existence of this matter, and in the past three Holy Grail Wars, there will always be a curse that has not been used up, and it has fallen into the hands of the Templar Church.
For example, in this Holy Grail War, after Baichang Hassan was directly out, Yan Feng Qili also took the initiative to withdraw from the competition for the Holy Grail War, and the spells that had not been used at all were also taken the initiative to be removed, and handed over to his father Yan Fengli for safekeeping-
Of course, now it is estimated that even the previous ones have fallen into the hands of the great filial son of Yanfeng Qili, and the conservative estimate of the number of spells is definitely more than ten strokes, and these spells have become Gilgamesh's magic resources at this time.
After all, the spell not only represents the master's absolute command over the servant, but also its essence is also the crystallization of magical power. When using the spell, even teleportation such as close to magic can be achieved, so there is no reason why it is impossible to amplify or recharge the servant's treasure.
In other words, Gilgamesh now has the right to fire almost infinite firepower, even if it is "obedient sword · EA" is an EX-level over-spec Treasure Piercing Treasure, which can also be fired in bursts, or even more than 10 times in one go......
This one is very murderous, at least for now, that thing does have the ability to end the Holy Grail War overnight, and by the way, completely destroy the entire city of Fuyuki.
Of course, judging from Gilgamesh's arrogance, it is impossible for him to send ten treasures in a row, but the problem is that he has so many magical resources, at least he solves his worries-
In the past, when he was always completely enraged, the mongrel king would want to recklessly liberate the Treasure Ultimate, but now it is different, he doesn't need to think about other problems at all, because even if he misses once, there are still many opportunities.
This change in mentality is the most dangerous.
It's just that in response to such a very likely situation, Xia Ran did not think about countermeasures, and after the Holy Sword Scabbard Avalon taken out of Alice Phil's body was returned to the original owner and returned to Saber, it was the countermeasure he prepared for this.
Anyway, according to the worst-case scenario, the final death will only be Gilgamesh, there is no difference. Enemies who are equipped with supergods and whose abilities are supergods themselves are the kind that are so terrifying that they are suffocating.
As for Gilgamesh, forget it...... If only "Obedient Sword · EA, "King's Treasure" or something in automatic combat, Xia Ran would still feel quite tricky, but since there was also a Gilgamesh who was trying to drag down those superb equipment, then he felt that there was nothing to be afraid of.
"Want to use Avalon? …… Why? ”
Saber's expression changed slightly, did she need to use Avalon's Noble Phantasm to be able to cope with it?
Could it be that Gilgamesh's hole cards are very, very terrible, and even this magician feels that he needs to be cautious?
"How can there be so many whys, isn't ease of use the biggest reason?"
Xia Ran stopped checking the old priest's body and confirmed that there were no traces of himself around, so he waved his hand directly, turned around and walked outside the door of the church. He didn't really bother to explain the idea of "Obedient Sword · EA", because there is no need for that.
"Anyway, when the time comes, I will give you an order directly, Saber, all you have to do is to release the scabbard and receive the opponent's treasure without hurting your face, and then liberate the holy sword to give him a backhand......"
There is no need for any tactics at all, defend and then counterattack, just seize that exact opportunity to kill Gilgamesh directly, Xia Ran is not too willing to bother with such a simple matter, and he doesn't want to make a plan that is not useful.
“……”
“……”
The knight girl pursed her lips and silently followed without saying a word, without saying anything. She neither agreed nor objected.
This is because she doesn't feel that she really wants to work for this magician, and she doesn't want to follow the other party's instructions, she doesn't really regard Xia Ran as her master from beginning to end, and now she is just a helpless burden of humiliation and seeking skin with the tiger......
However, there is no need to directly oppose it, it is not a wise choice to cause a conflict between herself and the other party at this time, so she can only choose to remain silent, at least until it is confirmed that Alice Phil has been rescued.
Just when she said the words of the scabbard, she still subconsciously swelled up with deep worry in her heart-
Saber was subconsciously overjoyed after the precious scabbard was recovered, but then began to worry about Alice Field's problems.
After all, there is a very simple question, what kind of situation does it take for Avalon to maintain his physical condition?
King Arthur's scabbard is a treasure, not only her strongest treasure, but also a holy relic that has existed to the present day.
The scabbard is known as the ideal place away from the world, and the passive ability is immortal, with the ability to heal the bearer's injuries and stop aging. The active effect is even more targeted at individual combat, as if it were a "mobile fortress".
It can be said that the existence of the scabbard itself is equivalent to "magic", which is no exaggeration, and it is more valuable than the holy sword itself.
It's just that Alice Phil doesn't want to tell Saber what her situation is, and Saber doesn't notice any unhealthy things about her body - Einzibelen's alchemy is very advanced, and the technology of artificial humans has long been developed to a fairly mature and reliable level.
For example, Alice Phil has found the perfect balance between performance and coordination, and she is even healthier and more perfect than most people's natural people-
At least until enough Servant souls were absorbed so that she was activated from the beginning by the designed functions and inevitably headed for collapse, it was indeed the same thing.
Saber is not a professional magician, so there is no way to find more detailed problems, and she can only confirm that Alice Phil is actually very healthy from the physical signs on the surface, but because of this, she is more and more suspicious.
Hopefully, there won't be any problems, but she swore with her sword that she would protect the other party.
If the country had just fallen not long ago, and the courtiers, subordinates, and friends had not been able to protect it, now they finally came to this era, became the knight of Alice Field, and swore to protect her, but they still failed to keep their oath......
Then this is a very huge blow to Artoria.
Walking out of the church, Xia Ran glanced at Jian Tongyan Ye, who didn't know what blow he had received, and the whole person seemed to have become more sluggish than before, and his reaction was more than a beat slower, and he was a little curious.
Is it really love and kill each other? Tosaka Tokitomi's death was so unacceptable for this man?
He pondered for a moment, and was about to say something, but suddenly stopped, and looked in a certain direction across the city: "Rider seems to be leaving......"
"What?" Artoria was stunned for a moment, and then she only felt that her whole person was not good.
- Rider is out?!
Didn't Emiya Kiritsugu say that he had found a helper and would come to rob people tonight? Both Rider and Lancer are certain candidates, after all, it is impossible to find anyone else to help them.
But now the magician suddenly told her that Rider was gone? If you think about it, it's just after nightfall, and it's just after seven o'clock in the evening, which seems to be the time when the plan to rob people is implemented......
Could it be that something is wrong, and that this magician is warning himself about something?
Or is this a trap at all, and the Liudong Temple has already laid a net of heaven and earth, so Emiya Kiritsu's plan is simply to lose his wife and lose his troops - the literal one?
"Plans can't keep up with the changes...... Let's go check it out. Xia Ran looked at the space prompt and confirmed that only Rider's name was mentioned, and couldn't help but sigh, which he didn't expect.
If Gilgamesh went directly to attack Yanagito Temple and killed Sasaki Kojiro without warning - because Sasaki Kojiro couldn't leave the mountain gate too far, Medea herself had a means similar to spatial transfer, and it was okay to take people away, but Sasaki Kojiro didn't even have the possibility of teleporting through the spell - he might not be so surprised.
But who would have thought that the first to be hit by the "obedient sword· EA", and then the regretful exit was still the Rider of the King of Conquest.
Should it be said that his luck is not too good, or is the inertia of the plot too strong, and fate is still tenaciously self-correcting after suffering a deviation, hoping to return to the original world line by adjusting the law of cause and effect?
After all, who knows what Gilgamesh is thinking, no matter how you look at it, his first target should be Xia Ran.
"What the hell is going on? Why did you know that Rider was out? Artoria clenched her silver teeth, stepped forward to block in front of Xia Ran, stared at him and asked.
"I don't know what's going on, I just have some means to determine the exit of the servant......" Xia Ran shook his head and said sincerely, "As for what happened and what the situation is, I have to find out for myself to be able to know." ”
“……”
In the knight girl's emerald green eyes, the tension eased slightly.
It seems that the person is not trying to warn himself about something, but does not yet know what is happening...... But it's not good at all, if what the other party said is true, Rider has already left......
Then even if it wasn't at the Willow Cave Temple, there must have been something wrong in other aspects, at least the plan must have gone bankrupt, and even Alice Phil could be in danger.
“Laas-Yah-Nir——!!”
At this time, Xia Ran opened his mouth softly and whispered something softly.
For a moment, Saber was keenly aware of the magic in the air around him, and was pushed and vibrated by a special "wave".
It was as if a stone had been dropped on the surface of the water, causing ripples and ripples, spreading rapidly in all directions.
Before she could understand what was going on, Xia Ran seemed to understand something, and exhaled softly, forming a white mist in the snowy night-
"The battle is supposed to take place on the Fuyuki Bridge, and the aura of the King of Conquest is dissipating...... What remained on the scene was Lancer's breath, as well as the mongrel king's breath, and as for the more specific situation, I think I might need to go over and take a look. ”
