Chapter 45: Counter-Killing
"That's it~~~ Then even if you die here~~~ You won't complain~~~ Caster's Master !!"
"Whew!" Saber slammed out of the forest!
“Saber!” Rin suddenly lunged at Caster and threw a gem.
"Boom~~~~" The jade smoke of the explosion obscured the vision.
"Please stay Saber!" Four purple magic circles began to charge.
"Take care of yourself first!" The boy rushed to Caster.
"Are you crazy?!" Caster looked at the magician in disbelief.
"Hmph~~~" The corners of the young man's mouth raised slightly, and the sword swung down!
"Click, click, click~~~~~~" The four magic arrays were all annihilated by the golden light.
"Win!" Both "Servants" were attached to the enemy, and a triumphant smile appeared on Rin's face.
"How dare you underestimate me...... Saber! ”
Saber's great sword was actually caught by Kudzuki!
"Whoosh~~~~" Kuzuki, who had strengthened himself with his magical powers, quickly circled behind Saber and smashed his fist into the back of his neck.
"Uh......" Red blood soaked the back of Saber's neck, and for a moment, everyone else froze.
"Whoosh~~~~" Saber flashed Kazuki's punches in succession.
"You dodged it, I see, it's not that you have good eyesight, but you have a sharp instinct~~~~~~" Katsuragi's offensive momentum suppressed Saber, who was only in a passive state of being beaten.
"Bang!" Kazuki's fist slammed into Saber's left arm, and his left arm, which was paralyzed for a moment, swayed weakly.
"That guy...... Did you strengthen your fist with magic......" Emiya's startled whisper woke up the boy standing beside Caster.
Like Caster beside him, Kamiya was only one position away from him, but he was attracted by Katsumi's upset battle with Saber.
"Rin! Caster, please! Kamiya, who ran towards Saber, gently took Tosaka, who was also stunned.
"......Shh This kind of thing can't be pushed to others by talking about it!! ”
"Bang Bang Bang~~~~~" Three streams of magic shot out.
“Acht! (Eight)" Rin threw three emeralds.
"Ding Ding Ding ~~~~" The flow of mana was bounced off by Rin's gem barrier.
"Wait!" Caster aimed the regenerated magic circle at the departed boy.
"Chirp tweet~~~~" The three Gandr passed by.
"Your opponent is me!" Rin raised his hand, and it was three more shots......
"Da~Da~Da~" The approaching footsteps attracted Ge Mu's attention.
"Whoosh!" A golden sword shadow grazed Kudzuki's chest.
"Sneak Attack...... Is it more about the results than the process...... It's really your character, Kamiya......"
"Boom!" A fist mixed with magic struck.
"Laas (life) Yah (seeking) Nir (hunting)
Tiid (time) Klo (sand) Ui (eternity)"
The hourglass of "~~~~~" time seems to have stopped forever, but the thinking continues.
"This ......" looked at everything that had completely stopped, and Kamiya was shocked at this moment.
"I ...... What did I do? "I have used similar abilities unknowingly before, but teenagers treat them as special functions, whether it is X-ray vision that can recognize life and death, or "superpowers" that can instantly enhance speed, all of which are within the acceptable range of common sense, but now...... This ability gradually reveals its extraordinary side.
After a moment of hesitation, the boy found that the trajectory of Kudzuki's fist was marked with a red line in his eyes, this ability had been there before, but the boy had always classified it according to the ballistic calculation function of the brain.
"It's not a straight-line attack...... Is it a slanted line change attack...... That's why Saber can't be guarded......" I didn't have time to think about it, and the boy could only pass the current level first.
"Huh~~~~" When the flow began again, Kazuki's attack was dodged sideways by the boy......
"What!?" The crowd, including Caster, was stunned again.
"Can you see through my attack trajectory with just one hit......"
"Knock~~Knock~~~" was accompanied by bland words, and several punches struck.
"Whoosh~~~When!" Dodged two punches, and the third punch was tentatively blocked by the boy with his sword.
"Shirou, take Saber out of the battlefield!" The aftershocking sword and numb hand tell Ueya that the enemy in front of him is not easy to deal with.
"Ah...... I know! Emiya came back to his senses and walked back with Saber.
"Do you want to run away...... "Kazuki still had no emotion in his words.
"Rin~~~ Cover !!" Kamiya also shouted, if Rin had this magic, it would be good, but if he didn't, there was no way.
"Close your eyes!"
"Whoosh~~~~" Rin threw something.
"Bang!" The dazzling white light obscured all vision.
"Smack~~~~" A small hand pulled up and ran to the valley.
"Whoosh~~~~~ Several streams of magic diffuse from the bright light.
Rin reached for his hand in his pocket and touched it, but it was empty.
"Whew!" A purple stream of mana shot straight through.
"Ah......" Rin was close to death, and Rin's eyes were straight.
"Bang~~" An arm wrapped around Rin's waist, and a sword shining with countless golden lines blocked her eyes.
“…… Eden.porta (Gate of Eden)" Rin only heard these characters.
"Boom!" A huge stream of mana smashed the golden triangle, but behind the golden light curtain, Rin didn't even feel the slightest heat.
"What...... This is ......" Just a thin curtain of light is the absolute realm that separates life and death, and Rin's brain is already blank at this time.
Fuyuki, crossroads
The crowd who came out of the road were all lying on the railings on the side of the road, panting, but fortunately, the sparsely populated streets provided them with perfect cover at night.
Uetani-san...... What was that just now? Rin gasped and questioned Kamiya, who had been completely left behind by his waist or something.
"Defensive technique, ah~~~~~" Kamiya said as he drank cold water.
"Of course I do...... A long-lasting self-disciplined defense that is perfect for both completely blocking the strength of Caster's mana shots and the duration for which they can be switched on and off freely...... This is also seen from the book? Rin's tone seemed to say, "This is definitely not something that can be learned from books."
"Ah, yes." Kamiya completely ignored Rin's questioning.
".................................................................." Rin held her breath in pain.
"So what did Saber call you Master just now?"
"You heard me wrong."
“…………………………………………………………”
"Whew~~~ Okay...... That's all for today, and thank you for the help just now. After holding it for a long time, Rin finally gave up, but what she knew would never be easily forgotten.
"But since things have come to this point, Katsuki will never leave Yanagiji Temple again......" Rin looked at Kamiya as if waiting for his answer.
"So Rin~~~ Are you going to give up your crusade against Caster right there?" The recovered Saber is desperate to regain the knight's reputation.
"Caster can't be left alone, right~~~ Kamitan-san?" Rin stared at Kamiya closely.
"Anyway, I'll promise Sakura to go home with me tomorrow, and maybe we'll go shopping together or something, although 'the sister of the former marriage partner, the current love partner' is also important, but if it's important...... Sure enough, the current love object is more preferred, right~~~~ Sister Tosaka ~~~~~"
"Ex-betrothed partner...... The older sister of the current love interest...... What~~~~ Kamiya, you're hiding it from me again~~~" Enomiya, who had come to his senses, came over.
"Oh~~~ This is ......"
"Arrive—this—for—stop!!" Rin loudly stopped Kamiya's explanation.
"In order to prevent you from talking unpredictably, you have to go home with me today!"
"Smack~~~" took Ueya's hand, and Rin dragged him away.
"Wait~~~~ Sakura is still at Senior Emiya's house, but I went to your house, senior sister, and I left my current love partner alone but went to the 'former marriage partner, the sister of the current love partner', this is not good!!"
"It's my sister, so I'm going to review it for her~~~~~~"
"What kind of censorship is it called to bring home your sister's love interest! Misunderstandings will definitely happen, okay!! ”
"I'm not afraid of what you're afraid of~~~~~~ but if Sakura misunderstands, then you can only trouble yourself to explain it to her~~~~~" Rin smiled like a little devil on his face.
