Chapter 49, Breaking the Game
The attacks were carried out simultaneously
The left hand is no longer sentient, so the only way to cut it down is to use a special way
Twist your body as much as you can, using it as a rag and twisting it
Then let the left hand "flick" out like a whip
“────!”
The twin swords slash from Caster's right shoulder to the left half-open—an oblique slash known in swordsmanship as the "robe slash".
The naked eye did catch the bloody wounds on Caster's body
Cut it!
It's just a Caster who isn't good at melee, but that's also a Servant. If so, you can win.
"Whew, it hurts! Stay back!! ”
Caster flailed his arms and backed desperately
She's just an ordinary person. I'm sure
If you are cut, you will bleed, and if you are hurt, you will panic
Aside from his mastery of magic, Caster's spirit is indistinguishable from that of ordinary people
Hands were shaking, and eyes under the robes were filled with fear
So, you can win.
Ignoring the tearing pain in his right hand, he desperately pressed its limits and stabbed hard at Caster's chest
☆
The war between the Servants is a war of intelligence
Based on the information gained from the battle, the seven masters make the most appropriate tactical arrangements to achieve the goal of defeating the opponent
The most intuitive example of this is weaving at this moment
Seduction, a powerful skill that crosses genders and ignores men and women. Upon learning of the enemy's Servant, the eyes were immediately specialized. Either masking, or modifying the written optical data.
Immortality, no matter how badly damaged, can still be resurrected BUG ability. It was also targeted after exposure. Lancer tries to kill with a curse, but Rider chooses to turn Oriori alive into a stone statue.
These are all adjustments made by the enemy after the leak of intelligence. No matter how powerful a monster is, it is possible to defeat it when all its information is in front of you. This is the most important point of the battle -- intelligence.
Even powerful modern warfare can be as small as destroying an entire city or as large as destroying a country. No matter what kind of battle, intelligence is always the top priority.
"You know what I've said so much, right? Mordred.' Weaving hugged his chest and said in the space of consciousness. The icy tone revealed dissatisfaction with Mordred
"Shut up."
The lengthy statement was met with nothing but Mordred's disregard. Like weaving, but different, Mordred is also a figure of extreme ego. This means that she does not easily listen to anyone's admonition, even if it is the same root and origin "herself" speech
I already knew her character, and I didn't particularly care about it. Just staring at the "self" frozen on the ground on the big screen of consciousness space and unable to move, "It's strange, we should be the same person and share the same memories. In terms of intelligence, there is no one in this world who has surpassed me—I mean the intelligence of the Holy Grail War. But why, a battle-hardened warrior has no defense against Rider's Petrified Eye?'
"Are you an idiot? Just interfere with my judgment, and it's okay to be alone in front of two Servants. But isn't that a complete failure!?' Weaving roared, but her eyes flashed with a blade-like coldness
"......" Mordred did not answer. Either she couldn't say right, or she wasn't listening to what Ori was saying
Taking advantage of Saber's serious injury, she forcibly confuses Ori's judgment and allows her to manifest. Unlike Ori, Mordred is a warrior who rolls in a sea of corpses and blood, and she should theoretically be invincible, but
"Strange, really weird. Theoretically, you are a warrior who is countless times stronger than me, and your understanding of combat is also countless times stronger than mine. So why—why are you defenseless against Rider's MONOCULUS?"
"Are you carried away by anger because of Saber's injury? Or do you say—──'
"You don't have any memory of this at all?" Ori said lightly
“……”
Considering this is inevitable. In this [Mordred Personality], Mordred's composition is only 60%, and the remaining 40% is himself. The remaining 40% can't be complete in any way.
The erosion of the projection personality is not [joining] but [transforming], changing the part that was originally [weaving] to [Mordred]. In the process of change, the total amount of personality does not change. It's like dripping paint into a cup filled with plain water. It is inevitable that you will lose your original color while changing your color.
However, according to this theory, Ori always felt that something was not quite right
"Break down the original building, collect its scraps, and build your own building with a completely different structure...... Probably. Well, it's okay to know what the situation is. But at least for now, you idiot give me down!! Achilles!'
"Okay!" As the words fell, Achilles kicked Mordred out of the surface of consciousness.
Mordred had no resistance, and even if she wanted to, there was no way to do it.
Achilles' degree is 80%, which means that it is possible for him to have a complete monopoly on this body if he wants to. Weaving alone or that 60% Mordred can't stop it at all
It is easy to understand the woven body as a large weapon that needs to be manipulated inside, such as EVA or Gundam
The consciousness space is the driver's lounge, and the consciousness surface is the cockpit. And Weaving, Mordred, Achilles are the drivers
Previously, only one person was operating the turnip, but after mixing into Mordred's consciousness, it was equivalent to forcibly stuffing another pilot in the single cockpit. Normally, only Ori and 60% Mordred are crammed into one cockpit to operate. As a result, on this day, an 80% ace driver, Achilles, kicked the two of them into the lounge.
The metaphor, while somewhat inappropriate, is well understood.
"You're special! What the!! You're weird, hey! Wrong! When are you two going to get together!!' Mordred, dressed in armor, roared and clenched her sword
"Get out of the way! I haven't dealt with those bastards yet, so if you don't want to die, get out of the way!'
"Got a piece or something...... Oh, yes, that's ugly. But it is impossible to get out of the way. In any case, we are just borrowing guests, and it is better to be honest with the landlord. If you don't want to be kicked out.'" When he said "get out", Achilles was somehow extremely serious.
"Huh? Kicked out? What stupid things are you talking about. Just kill her here—'
The rest of the story didn't listen, she had more important things to do.
☆
When I took over the body again, the situation was not very rosy
Both yourself and the masters
"It's miserable. Caster。 ”
"Ri, ahem!"
Just as Emiya Shirou was about to deliver the final blow to Caster, he kicked him in the abdomen with a swift whip kick, and his body floated
The sword turned into pieces the moment it was released, and its body flew like an arrow for more than ten meters, landing at Berserker's feet
It feels like being hit by a heavy truck
"Shirou ?!!"
Embraced in Rin's arms, although it was faint, Ori could indeed feel his breath
"Tsk...... There is no one left with this defense. ”
Is it A, vlon, who can still be alive after being kicked away for a distance of more than ten meters
Failure is inevitable. He didn't expect Emiya Shirou to succeed in counter-killing
Caster was the only one, and there were Riders standing next to him. In this case, it's better to wash and sleep
I tried to move my body
"Tsk, can't you......"
The physical condition is much more serious than expected
In addition to the head, the phenomenon of petrification has spread throughout the body, and it is impossible to move no matter what. It's like a stone statue like Aphrodite of Minos. Can the immortality that can be forcibly restored against Lancer's curse, but it can't delay when facing the petrified MONOCULUS?
Rider's MONOCULUS is exactly what she says, and it will be unconditionally petrified when its mana is below C-level. Grade B students are exempt from the test to determine whether they have been petrified. A-level people will only feel the pressure.
Then come on.
────A Servant with the highest level of projection magic
The goal is,
Jenny Dark!
“Traceon.”
The familiar incantation was pronounced, and the body began to switch
"Huh?"
It doesn't feel the same
No response
It should be said that there is no feeling of physical function being mobilized.
In the past, as long as you pronounce this line, which is both familiar and unfamiliar, the magic circuit will naturally be stimulated. Retrieving drawings, constructing skeletons, filling in magic, and giving shapes – a series of processes that are as natural as breathing and blinking an eye
But now
【Oh oh! The magic circuit has been prioritized! This magic trick is a bit interesting, as if it has its own consciousness, and it will prioritize attacking key parts to prevent counterattacks. Crimson Longsword commented
What────
That means,
It's dead
Weaving heart sank,
No
Wrong
If you think about it, it's not like there's no way out
The Noble Phantasm is still there.
The Silver Arm and Mordred's sword. Although these two Noble Phantasmas cannot be used directly, they can make them explode
As long as you can kill Rider in one fell swoop, the petrification will naturally be removed
But...... Is this really a good choice
Just as weaving was about to put it into practice, an idea popped into place
Isn't it bad to be captured by Caster?
Ori pondered
Compare the benefits of Rin's men with those of Caster
Rin Tosaka, a human, is only a human with high magical talents.
Caster, Servant, a genius witch, can compete for the top five in the world by magic, can parse the Holy Grail system, and has almost infinite magical power
In this comparison, it seems that Caster is a better choice
The purpose of weaving is only to survive in this world, and in terms of strength, Caster is obviously more suitable
If she takes refuge in Caster, with her magical power and her own unlimited projection, I am afraid that it will only take one day to win the entire Holy Grail War
And she can easily afford her own consumption after the Holy Grail War is over
It's good
Determination in the ruby eyes
As long as you can survive in the end, it doesn't matter who the Master is.
As long as you can win, the Master is just a prop that can be replaced at any time. Whether it's Rin or Caster, there's not much difference
However, I am afraid that I will inevitably suffer a meal after that
Then ask Caster to let Rin go.
Ori didn't want Rin or Shirou to die here, and she liked them more after getting along for the past few days. But, one yard to one yard
"Huh? Do you want to change masters? I don't like Medea that woman. The little girl named Rin Tosaka likes it a lot, well, then again, I don't have a problem with it.'"
"I don't agree...... That bastard, that female fox actually teamed up with Elijah to plot Arthur and cut her to the brink of death! Obviously, it's supposed to be my job!! Dare to be the first, dare to run ahead of me!!"
Shut up! Isn't there enough trouble?!
"I don't do it! I don't do it! Don't! I don't want it!!'
The brain began to fog
The part of consciousness that belongs to Mordred is awakening
She's forcibly intervening in the "cockpit"
Judgment is interfered with, rationally deflected
'You, give, me, shut up!!' ’
"You bastards!!"
Hey?
This sentence is not shouted by Ori
Weaving twisted her neck, the connection between flesh and stone gave her the feeling that her neck was being severed
Then, she saw a human running
Rin ran in this direction
Leaving Berserker's protective range, he rushed towards his side
"Do you say!"
Ori's face finally changed
"Idiot! What do you want! Go back!! ”
No way. Weaver's face is full of incredulity. Rin is still rushing here after obviously losing, is he trying to commit suicide?
She clenched her fists, holding her remaining six gems inside
"What the hell are you thinking! Isn't Emiya Shirou's lesson enough? Don't always think about facing the Servant as a human being!! ”
Rin's answer was just to throw a gem
“────SechsEinFluB,einHalt……!” (Number Six, River of Winter......!) )
That can't be explained by stupidity
It's like suicide
Rider quickly jumped out of the way, swinging his arm to dodge the attacking colleague
Bang bang
Harsh metallic sounds
The chains enclose Rin in the middle like a wandering snake, as if choosing where to start the mouth
I can't understand it, I don't understand it at all
However, Rin's actions were entirely her fault
There is a soul connection between the Master and the Servant due to the contractual relationship. As a result, the Master was able to give orders without saying it, and even if he didn't want to, he would see the Servant's memories in his dreams. Sometimes, through this connection, the Master can even see through the thoughts of the contract partner to a certain extent
Rin sensed Ori's thoughts
In her eyes, Weaving's mental fluctuations have always been extremely chaotic. or violent, or calm, or tame, or arrogant; However, just now, she felt the peace of weaving.
Weaving gave up
Giving up is also a matter of course. After all, you don't have any cards to play, and it's already the end of the "general".
It's just a matter of giving up
Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and Rin is not arrogant enough to think that he will never fail. She was mentally prepared before participating in this ceremony, whether it was to kill or to be killed
However, what Rin felt was not so simple as giving up
Her Servant hadn't given up on the ceremony
Instead, he gave up on himself as a Master
That is
I was no longer recognized by her
I am not recognized as a master
"What a has!"
“Fünf,Drei,Vier……! DreiRichtungenDerDurchbruch────!” (Five, Three, Four......!) Three-way breakthrough! )
If it's Caster, it's just a matter of doing this kind of magic
But it's Rider who has to face this attack
"What!"
The gems that broke through from three directions accurately blew off Rider's chains
Every shot is a big magic trick that is equivalent to an A-grade
Each hit can inflict fatal damage on Berserker
Rider's chain is not a Phantasm, it is indeed a weapon that appears with her summoning, but it is not as strong as a Phantasm
However, that doesn't mean Rin has a chance to win
There are two reasons for this
For one, there are only two gems left. If you want to reserve one for Rider to deal a fatal blow, then she only has one available
Second, Caster, who had been knocked down, stood up tremblingly. She activated her magic, and the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It's not one-on-one anymore. It's a pair of two
What's worse is that now Rin is too close, even if he changes his mind and wants to save her, if he blows himself up at this distance, he will obviously involve her
"What the hell are you thinking! Just human!! ”
"No Road Race!! Shut up! ”
"What?!"
"I said I don't want to talk about [humans, humans] or anything all day long? I'm your Master, and I'm also a companion in the Holy Grail War, aren't I? Why can't you give us more trust! ”
"It's just humans talking!"
"It has nothing to do with humans or Servants or anything like that! I stand here with you, standing on this battlefield. Indeed, I am weak, and you Servants can be defeated with just one finger if you are serious. But so what!? Can't you fight because you're weak!? ”
"A small junior high school."
"Shut up and listen to me! Now it's not your turn to speak! I'm none other than Rin Tosaka, one of the seven masters of the Holy Grail War, and yours! It is also the one who wants to take the Holy Grail in his hands and win the victory in the end! ”
As she spoke, Rin showed the last spell on the back of her hand
"Commanding with a spell—"
"Are you crazy?! That's the final spell! ”
"Well, that's why this proves my resolve—command, Red Saber, not to take everything on your own shoulders, and trust me more, more!"
P.s: Done. Hawkers, I've been making up things lately. So it hasn't been updated.
P.s2: Alright! Let's talk about interesting things in this chapter. The first is Sister R's petrified magic eye.
In fact, many people have a misunderstanding. I thought that the petrified MONOCULUS was resisted by [Magical Power].
But it's not.
Sister R's petrified magic eye judgment is actually [Magic]. It's [Mana] that is under heavy pressure in A-rank. [Magic] is exempt from luck at B level. [Mana] is unconditionally petrified at Rank C. Instead of [against mana]
[Magic Power] Even if it is EX, it is impossible to block the Petrified Magic Eye. Because she's right about [magic]
This is a misconception of many people.
P.s3: Well, Jenny Dark. That's Joan of Arc. A lot of people like to call Joan of Arc Dalke, which is a very stupid name. Because the name "Joan of Arc" itself is a translation of the Chinese character for the name Jenny Dark
In the early days of Chinese translation, there was a habit of forcibly translating foreign names into similar Chinese names. It is a translation of the entire name, surname, and name into two Chinese characters, "Joan of Arc".
For example, let's make the name "Emiya Shirou" the same translation as "Joan of Arc" and become "Guardian".
So now, do you want to add a [Guard] after [Guard]? [Guardian Guard]?
The name Joan of Arc is already an abbreviation that includes a first name and a last name. So the name really can't be followed by a [Dark].
Joan of Arc Dalke is as stupid as Guardian Guard.
In the past, this way of translating the name was very popular, such as the famous "Gone with the Wind", the heroine is named Scarlett O'hara. According to the current translation, it is "Scarlett O'Hara". However, at that time, the Chinese side translated it as "Hao Sijia". If you add a surname, it will become "Hosgar O'Hara". Well, something important to say twice?
