Chapter Seventy-Four: A Sharp Turn
“Duang!” Suddenly, Kamiya kicked the fence that was in front of him.
"Ryudong Temple............" Saber had already chased in, and Kamiya was still muttering at the door.
"Trap............ Considering that he can't get out of touch with Saber too much, Kamiya also walked in.
The wooden hallway of the temple is quite dark, and every step makes a "click" sound.
"Sure enough, it was calculated, and the other party came prepared." Kamiya instantly realized that in such an environment, the sound of wooden planks would mark his bearings, and that it was an excellent battlefield for the Assassin.
"Saber, come back." Sensing that something is wrong, Kamiya wants to recruit Saber back to his side.
"I'm about to catch the Assassin, I'll be able to tell the winner with one blow, please don't go too deep until then, Master!"
"Isn't that good...... Saber is too confident. Kamiya had some foreboding.
"But will the other party misestimate Saber's combat effectiveness...... Even if you are prepared, there is a risk of underestimation...... And I don't know what the other party has prepared, that is, is the current win rate a five-five......"
"If Saber comes back with a spell...... The enemy shrank directly...... I can't afford to ...... like that," said Ueya in the center of the temple's atrium.
The light dimmed, and the moonlight shining on the main hall was obscured.
A stench of rotten flesh hits, accompanied by the "buzzing" of insects.
"Are you here......" Kamiya, who has already entered the state, is naturally very sensitive to this abnormal smell.
"Come out! I'm not going in. Kamiya shouted at the main hall, if the other party wants to sneak attack him in the house, it is right to quickly dispel his luck and pull him to the light.
"See you again, boy." A short, bald old man on crutches came out of the darkness.
"You!" Shanggu was stunned for a moment, isn't this the old man who sold himself cheap old goods before? At that time, I thought I was taking advantage...... He turned out to be a Master! So would it be ...... for him to sell his own books?
"Hehehe, don't worry, it's also a good idea for the old man to contact you." The old man laughed, but somehow, that smile always gave people a sense of disobedience.
"You're the Master of Assassin?" Knowingly, Kamiya also wanted to probe his bottom.
"Yes, that's obvious." The old man's eyes sparkled.
(This old guy is not easy to deal with.) Seeing this old man, Kamiya secretly gritted his teeth.
"Your Servant ability is very good, and the Assassin is probably not a one-man enemy, so do you want to kill the old decay, or do you want to chase after the Servant? In any case, if you don't take action, you're just wasting time here. "Beside the old man, there was something that was about to move, a dark shadow, blocking the moonlight and moving.
"Bug ......" followed by a little moonlight on the edge of the darkness, and Kamiya still judged what was on the other side. It was a black, dense swarm. Every wall of the main hall is crawling with dense insects.
"Okay, the old man can wait, Saber is so good, he must be back in a while." The old man laughed "hehe".
"You're here to fight me?" Kamiya didn't know where the old man's confidence came from, but he didn't rule out the possibility that he pretended to be calm and deceived himself, but the winning rate of five or five will not change.
"Speaking of which, I haven't introduced myself yet, and the dirty inkstone is the name of the old decay." The old man's eyes returned to what appeared to be blind again.
"Dirty inkstone...... Kiri!? You are!? "The mind of the person in the state of alert is very active, and Kamiya connects everything in an instant.
"Yes, Shinji and Sakura are both old grandsons." The old man said with a smile.
..........................................At this moment, Kamiya had already understood the fact that the old man in front of him had decided that he didn't dare to touch him.
Ryudong Temple, backyard
Saber burst out of the hallway, cornering the Skull Mask. From being ten rooms away, now it's only three or five meters away. That's the distance at which a skull mask can be cut in two with just one step.
However, the enemy also understands this.
As long as he is leaned in, he has to distinguish the winner and loser, so his throw is to not be leaned in and retreat. Although the skull was not as fast as Saber, who was running at full strength, he stepped back at the speed of a beast. It's like gliding down a narrow corridor, moving at any speed without slowing down even around corners.
The Servant, the Assassin in the Skull Mask, kept a distance from Saber as if he were chasing a mirage.
"Ding!" Another throw was ignored by Saber.
Swiftly and swiftly threw three short swords, but they didn't do much to Saber. Because Saber has a patience for shooting weapons. Saber reads the track with the sound of cracking wind and his own intuition. For her, "invisible attacks" are no longer a threat.
Because in front of her, "an intelligible but undefensible attack" is the ultimate means to kill each other.
"Hiss~~~Ding~~~~" The last weapon slashed across Saber's armor with a spark, and the Assassin finally stopped.
At the same time, Saber, who was in pursuit, also stopped.
It was supposed to be a chased enemy, but he stopped. Something must be wrong, Saber felt an ominous aura around the Assassin.
"Things have changed!" Although confident in his own strength, Saber did not attack blindly.
"Have you given up? Assassin...... "Although it was the best judgment right now, Saber stepped back slightly.
She couldn't go any further, and the instincts she had cultivated over a long period of battle now gave her the maximum warning - she couldn't keep going! You can't go any further than that dark place!!
"Ahh It's all here...... I'm also aware that I'm going to be cut down with a blow, but why don't you lean over anymore? ”
"He's seducing me......" Saber didn't respond, often with Kamiya, and was naturally immune to Assassin's ridiculous childlike tricks to lure enemies.
"The distance between the sword and the enemy is only seven meters, and if you want to cut it down with one sword, you will have to take two more steps, but if you liberate the Wind King barrier......" Saber raised his sword, mentally calculating how to destroy the enemy in front of him.
"Hmph, do you have nothing to say to people like me...... Forget it, it's your freedom to say it or not, and talk about it when you want to. The Assassin's crisp voice was completely out of proportion to his appearance.
"Anyway, in the end, Assassin can't really fight with Heroic Spirits with strength. Originally, our assassins were lurking in the shadows. Therefore, our duty is only to assassinate. The abilities held cannot deal with the Heroic Spirit Servant, and can only be used to kill the Heroic Spirit of the Human Master. So, I'm just targeting one person. ”
"What?!" Saber woke up suddenly.
"Got it, Saber? All of my actions are for the purpose of destroying your master. ”
"Miss. Your master will be entertained by my master. ”
"Despicable villain!" Saber's sword glowed with a dazzling golden light, and its body took on its original form. Saber is still honest, and as soon as he hears that his master is calculated, he immediately becomes anxious. Throw all of his Master's super physical combat power and IQ combat power back to Britain.
"Oh...... It's the wind that hides the sword. I see, if it was that kind of wind pressure, I would have been cut off even if I was there. "As soon as the black clothes sank, if Saber could cut off the Assassin without approaching, then the Assassin would have to approach Saber to catch her.
"It's reversed, Assassin. This Wind King enchantment, you can step into it thoroughly. “
"What a cruel woman~~~~~~ isn't this just a way to throw people into a swarm of locusts? Still, if you continue, you'll let out the roar of a dragon, which is really hard to retreat. The Assassin, crouched down in the hallway, climbed up the wall like a spider.
The atmosphere, compressed into a vacuum vortex, is now preparing to shoot at the Assassin.
"So. It looks like it's all the last. I have something to say to you before that, Saber. The trepidation and fear on Assassin's face suddenly vanished.
“Saber…… Don't talk about the fact that you're going to win one-on-one with me. ”
Saber raised his sword alal, his eyes fixed on the Assassin. Even if he can move the space, he must cut the Assassin before he transfers to determine the winner.
"Lead you away from your master, my master is right." In the face of the blow that was about to be slashed, the Assassin tightened his body even more.
"The question now is, can you protect yourself?" On the other side, there was a heavy question from the Assassin.
"I'm still in a hurry to get back. Goodbye, Assassin. Saber didn't talk to him too much, and answered directly with a slash.
The liberated Wind King's enchantment devoured the skull mask in the hallway, and the snake body turned into a spiral and swung over.
In the whirlwind, Assassin was not only not swept up, but suddenly appeared!
"Whoosh~~~~" Saber dodged the blow with a tilt of his head, and the black coat brushed right above her and landed behind her.
"You!" Saber quickly turned around and slashed in the back.
But there was no Assassin anymore, and the black coat had long since jumped farther away.
At the same time, the "ominous aura" she felt just now covered the soles of her feet. The sludge-like shadow spread rapidly, gradually soaking into her silver armor.
"So. You've got two places where you're out of luck, Saber~~~~~~" said the Assassin as he stood in the distance.
"One is attributes. The spell of avoiding the storm is necessary for those who walk the desert, and the only magic I know of is the art of avoiding the wind. “
“Assas…… sin…… You...... The...... Guy......" Saber concentrated his magic on the sludge, completely ignoring the Assassin on the other side.
"That's right, Saber. And then there's why I chose this place as a place to fight. There's something very bad inhabiting here, don't you feel it~~~~~~"
"Yes...... Evil ......" Saber realizes that this shadow is something that devours the Servant. The body hates the mud more than the blurred consciousness.
"Ahh The shadow is now only at his feet. The rest of the magic must be used to get out. Now, if you use your best strength to shake it off, it's still too late. Even if he lost most of his magic and two feet, he could only desperately escape from that shadow now.
"That's not going to work~~~~ You've got to disappear here, Saber." Realizing her intentions, the Assassin gradually walked over.
"Uh...... ...... from the beginning"
"You said you'd win one-on-one, Saber~~~~~~~ yes, but you're wrong~~~~~~ you're alone, and I'm more than one here~~~~~~~ I just need to cut your attention."
"Hmm...... Yes...... Woohoo! "The shadow kept invading Saber's body, starting from the soles of his feet, and the corruption began to spread.
"That's something the Servant can't resist. Not to mention that you're still a true Heroic Spirit. Even me, who is relatively close to it, will be robbed of its magic if it is touched. Pure you, as long as you are touched, you will be unconscious. "The Assassin continues to faithfully carry out his mission.
"But it's a pity. Destroying you so easily will not serve my purpose. Give me your heart. “
"What...... You want...... My ......" Saber couldn't go on after only half a sentence.
The hitherto faint amount of magic was concentrated in the Assassin's right arm, which turned into a rod. Odd-shaped arms that don't even have palms are not used as arms. The bones shattered and bent, and the skull's arms fluttered like oddly shaped wings.
"If that arm is stretched out, you can literally pluck out your heart." Saber coldly realized this.
Faster than the shiver that spread throughout his body, his arm fluttered.
"Whoosh~~~~!" Saber's sword severed the Assassin's wrist faster than the arm could pull out the heart.
"Twing" came from under the skull mask.
The arm that stretched out in the straight line turned red.
"Twitter, twitter, !!!twitter, From his strangely shaped elbow, it was completely broken.
"I ...... It's mine...... You guy...... They're all dying...... Still! “
"Whew...... Call...... Ah......h
The ominous aura she felt had begun to emanate from her. The shadow that invaded the soles of the feet and stretched to the waist kept climbing up......
