Chapter 41: The Scourge of Madness
Having taken over a weapon that was enough to hurt the Servant from the hands of the assassin who didn't know the details, the Berserker has now turned into a moving calamity, and Yagi Yukisai feels more and more that it was a very wrong decision to feed him before and not solve him in the first place.
The Black Knight grabbed Barrett's rifle with both hands, hugged it at his waist, and pulled the trigger fiercely, and the rapidly condensed magic turned into a sword-like brilliance, and stabbed towards Artoria.
The strong recoil of Barrett's rifle, even if berserker has A-class wrist strength, can not fully resist, it is obvious that his upper body can be seen to exaggerate the backwards, and then, from the muzzle of the gun sprayed a sharp beam sword, forcing Artoria to flee with Alice Field, one to carry her body, as if carrying a bucket or a noodle pocket, one flying, Saber's body quickly ran along the walls on both sides.
And in this way, it will be difficult to hurt the building that has been pierced by the blade of light, and with the sizzling sound of the steel and concrete being instantly melted by the magic power, the screams of human beings can be clearly heard from the pouring building.
Artoria originally wanted to save people, however, she really didn't have any room to spare, and she was being chased by the berserkers, and now she really didn't have anything to spare.
Yagi didn't hesitate, the red spear in his hand flashed, and he attacked the black knight.
However, the Black Knight was not in love with fighting at all, and jumped back sharply, and in the previous battle of the rooftop, he already understood the attack distance of Yagi Yukisai. Although he is not capable of complex thinking, the experience he has accumulated over the years is enough for him to instinctively deal with all kinds of battles.
Like now, for example.
Quickly open up the distance and use your weapon's long range to engage in long-range combat.
Can't catch up.
Yagi's weapons simply do not have such a long range.
It's the same with Artoria.
Moreover, there is an unknown assasin in it.
Who is his target?
Yukisai Yagi? Or Alice Fair? Or is it both?
In the current situation, it is impossible not to make a decision here.
Previously, Ermelo II said that this Holy Grail War should leave at least 3 horsemen. As a caster, he and Yagi as a lancer, this occupies two places, that is, they have to protect an additional servant.
Saber, berserker or rider. To be honest, even giving up Saber here isn't too much of a problem.
Merely......
That's it......
Saber and berserker both fall, and they must win the approval of the rider.
The question is......
Would that big man really agree?
Sure enough, it should still be ...... Well...... Slightly ...... Leave one more way?
Yagi Yukisai had a battle between heaven and man in his mind, and finally decided......
βsaberοΌ You go get his attention and buy me twenty seconds. I want to liberate the Noble Phantasm. β
ββ¦β¦ Got it, Lancer. Thanks a lot. β
Artoria immediately understood what he was going to do, and couldn't help but thank him.
In the Holy Grail War, exposing one's treasure is basically exposing one's weakness and true name. After liberating the treasure, a short-term sense of powerlessness will put him in an extremely dangerous situation.
In particular, there is now an assassin hidden in the shadows. Liberating the Treasure is even more dangerous!
But the problem is that if she doesn't liberate the treasure, the black knight is obviously chasing Artoria, and if she doesn't do it, she can't count on it, as soon as she stops to release the holy sword, the other party will definitely snipe first!
You have to gamble on yourself, so Yagi wants to gamble on her chivalry.
The faceless assassin had previously shown obvious hostility towards himself......
"In a moment, you will have to take responsibility to protect me."
Yagi Yukisai said, put away the golden sword, and replaced it with the holy sword that was deeply imprinted in his spiritual base, liberating the wind outside, revealing the holy sword of gold and silver.
Saber Artoria couldn't help but look at the sword a few more times.
Although it is different from the Sword of Oath Victory she holds, there is no doubt that the temperament of that sword, which is the Sword of Oath Victory, will never be wrong.
Sure enough, this person is also the one who has received the inheritance of the fairy in the lake......
Or maybe someone who got the Arthurian legacy.
Artoria's heart warmed up.
Her hope for the Holy Grail is to return to the day of the election of the king and re-elect the king. She didn't want her Britain to be destroyed because of herself. If it weren't for a little girl like herself who didn't know anything about the world to inherit the throne, would it be different?
When I see Yagi Yukisai, I have a kind of ...... I also have the feeling of a successor...... Unexpectedly, a little reassuring.
Especially......
(Really, this man used to call himself Mordred...... If only my son really was such a person...... Yes...... It's probably going to be nerve-wracking...... οΌ
Originally, I thought that it would be better, but after reflecting on it, it turned out that although Yagi's character was a little better than Mordred, it definitely didn't meet Artoria's requirements for the successor.
With a chaotic thought in her mind, Artoria quickly dodged the Black Knight's bullets, and she jumped as high as she could, luring the Black Knight into shooting into the air and preventing his bullets from harming the surrounding buildings.
Yagi Yukisai took advantage of this stall and raised his holy sword high.
In my head, the voice of the woman I was used to hearing sounded as a matter of course. At the same time, there are voices that seem to be called by name.
Divine golden particles surged high from his blade, turning into razor-sharp blades of light.
"Excalibur Sword of Oath Victory" !!
With the boy's shout, a torrent of light rushed through the streets.
If the enemy is too flexible, then use ultra-wide area attacks to make him unavoidable.
The figure of the Black Knight was swallowed up by the torrent of light and disappeared completely.
ββββββββββββββββββ
(Sure enough...... Liberation of the Treasure. It is indeed he who liberated. Same as scheduled. οΌ
With this speculation in mind, the assassin, who had been watching the battle in the shadows, calmly took out a bullet and pushed it into his beloved pistol.
It was a single-shot pistol originally used for competition or hunting, but after being modified many times, it had been transformed into something similar to his magic dress.
This gun is particularly difficult to use as a firearm.
The first is the problem of range, and the second is that this pistol can only shoot single, and it will not automatically unshell, making it difficult to fire continuously.
These are all places that are extremely inconvenient for combat.
However, the Servant still chose this weapon.
It can only be said that he has absolute trust in this gun. Only one hit is enough to solve the target.
A powerful pistol that can be used to break through enemy defenses.
As long as your own bullet hits the enemy's body...... Then it's over.
That bullet is a treasure for magicians.
Even if the enemy is a Servant, it can inflict a huge amount of power that can destroy the Servant.
As long as one serve, it is enough to distinguish the winner from the loser.
Now, without hesitation, he loaded the bullet into his pistol.
"Khronos Rose ......"
He whispered the name of his treasure.
For a moment, it was as if time had changed somehow.
In his body, the flow of time, changed.
The speed of the body increases dramatically, and the frequency of the body's metabolism, including breathing and mana pulsations, decreases dramatically.
This is his exclusive treasure, an inherent enchantment that uses the body as a medium.
It can only affect the time within your own body.
Use [Acceleration] and [Deceleration] at the same time to increase the speed of the body and reduce the rhythm of the body to reduce the sense of presence.
This is his trump card.
In the whole world that has become strange, the hooded assassin clutches his knife and pistol, rushes out of the alley at an accelerated pace, and takes advantage of the moment when Yagi Yukisai releases the treasure and swoops towards his back.
