Chapter Eighty-Eight: Yan Flashback
What is it?
Saber frowned, the magic was raging in the Liudong Temple, and she knew by feeling that the battle was fierce, much more spectacular than her battle with the Assassin.
"No, you have to get through."
Saber held the invisible holy sword, quite seriously, but the enemy's technology was too good, and she was underneath, if it was flat ground, it shouldn't be like this.
After Saber retreated, the Assassin did not move, and for Kojiro Sasaki, the battle was nothing more than goalkeeping.
There was no need for him to force himself to pursue the retreating Saber, and it was impossible for him to abandon his advantageous position.
"Worthy of Saber, I'm glad to have blocked so many of my attacks, if it were an ordinary swordsman, the first blow would have killed me. You can do this with your petite body, and you must have been trained all over the body. Since there was no need to pursue, the Assassin leisurely observed Saber, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
The blade hung down weakly, but he couldn't take it as a flaw and move forward, the man didn't have a stance, and if he couldn't swing the knife in any position, he couldn't use the long knife.
"Assassin, now that I already know that an unknown danger is looming, I will do my best to defeat you."
Whoosh β
Saber rushed forward, swords and swords darling again, another series of strikes, and the result was still not much different from before.
"The blade is more than three feet long, about four inches wide, and the shape is almost the same as the name of Saber, which is a typical Western sword." Assassion said lightly, what a gaze it was, and he could judge the full picture of the Invisible Sword just by virtue of a few battles.
"I didn't use any magic, I didn't even have a real confrontation, and even then I could guess my sword?" Saber grew more and more surprised.
"Surprised? It's just a street performance technique, because I'm an evil swordsman, and that's what I'm good at. The Assassin shook his hand absently.
"I see, your fight is not to take my blow head-on, but to cut away. Is the evil swordsman also named because of that evasive attitude? Saber asked.
"Huh? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but forgive me for not going head-to-head with you. Anyway, this long knife will definitely break if it goes head-to-head, and although strength is the key to victory or defeat for you, I can't do that. I can't compete with your sword. β
"A sword is something like that, a Western sword that cuts through objects with its weight and strength. However, my knife uses speed and skill to cut through objects. It makes sense that we can't meet in battle. β
"However, I'm interested, this is a good opportunity Saber, it's almost time for you to stop hiding your strength."
"I'm not hiding my strength." Saber replied that in fact she just couldn't play to her full strength, and she wasn't hiding.
"I don't know what you're going to do, but if putting the sword in the sheath isn't a hidden strength, it's a contempt for me. Do you think I'm not serious enough for you to get serious? The Assassin frowned slightly, and said, "Well, since you are reluctant to give it your all, then let you see my stunt to force you to get serious." β
After announcing this, the long-sword swordsman slowly descended to Saber's side.
"You-"
Saber was puzzled that to the Assassin, giving up the advantageous position above was tantamount to defeat. While the Assassin is indeed a good swordsman, it is only because of the terrain that it is so obvious.
Saber's strength and speed are much higher than the other party's, if you fight on the same foothold, Saber has an absolute advantage, and the Assassin knows it, but, why...
"Lift your sword, or you'll die, Saber." Saber's instincts reacted to the Assassin's indifferent voice. The other party did not lie, and the reason why he went down the stage will definitely not be beneficial to himself.
Saber never takes her opponents lightly, having been through too many battles, her instincts are accurate.
Saber hurriedly lifted the invisible sword, there was no time to hesitate, before the Assassin swung the long knife, he just had to block it with his own sword.
The distance between the two was less than three meters, and the Assassin took a stand in front of Saber, who was about to shorten the distance for a moment.
That was the posture of a swordsman that had never been seen since the beginning of this battle.
"Secret Sword βββ"
Saber stepped forward, the long knife had lost its meaning, since it was close, the length was an obstacle, but...
"βββ Yan flashback!"
That kind of common sense didn't exist in front of this swordsman.
A bolt of lightning, far faster than Saber's, the Demon Strike fell in a straight line.
However, Saber was not undefensible to such a blow, and quickly used the sword he raised to defend himself, deflecting the full force of the Assassin's blow.
Even if the Assassin is bounced off with the blow just now, there will definitely be a flaw before he regroups.
In less than half a second, Saber struck the Assassin in the abdomen.
But in this instant, completely with a sudden intuition, Saber rolled down the stone steps.
Saber fell down the stairs, falling to dodge, completely unprepared to land, just desperately trying to make his body fall, and just fell down the stairs.
Saber stood still, propped himself up, and on the other end of his line of sight, there was only a long swordsman standing leisurely.
"Oh.... Have you dodged my secret sword? It's Saber, it's different from the level of the swallow. The Assassin chuckled leisurely.
"I can't believe it, just now, it's going to be..."Saber's eyes showed a deep sense of surprise, and when he remembered the other party's attack just now, cold sweat broke out in his palms.
"It's nothing, it's not a great technique, it's just something that you naturally learn if you want to cut a swallow once in a while." The long knife was raised slightly, as if to depict the action of the magic sword that had just struck Saber tremble.
"Do you see Saber, the swallow, able to withstand the wind and dodge the blade. It doesn't matter if it's fast or slow, no matter what kind of knife it is, there's no way to swing it without vibrating the air, right? They feel the vibrations and change the direction of flight.
Therefore, no matter what kind of blow you can't cut off the swallow, the knife is just a line, and it makes sense that you can't catch the swallows that come and go in the air. β
"But in that case, just surround its retreat. One knife attacks the swallow, and the other blocks the retreat of the swallow that is dodging with the power of the wind. However, they are very sensitive, and this long knife cannot catch up with the second knife. If you want to succeed, you have to do it in an instant, and you can do it almost at the same time, but that's not the realm of human beings anymore.
I knew it wasn't going to happen, butβ"
"Unfortunately, I don't have anything else to do. That's what it was all about, and it was already like that by the time I noticed. The boring idea of wanting to cut off the swallow has become a secret sword of prison made with multiple sword lines. β
The Assassin said indifferently, and Saber shook his head inwardly.
No, the knife technique just now is not so simple.
Almost at the same time? How is it possible, those two knives are completely simultaneous.
Assassin - Sasaki Kojiro's long knife, at that moment, there were indeed two, and two were swung at the same time.
β... Multi-dimensional twists and turns... It's useless to do any magic, and with only sword skills, he has reached the Servant in the field of Noble Phantasmβββ "This is what should be the most amazing, Saber clearly understood because of the blow just now, Sasaki Kojiro does not have the "Treasure" of the Heroic Spirit.
All he has is a magic sword that has reached the realm of the gods.
That's why this man can compete with a heroic spirit armed with a treasure with a human body!!
"In the absence of a treasure, only the Assassin rank came to have such a sword skill, if summoned with the Saber rank..."
King Arthur, who has the strongest holy sword in human history, although she is not in a good state now, she has to admit that the man named Kojiro Sasaki in front of her has a far more understanding of the sword than she imagined.
