Chapter Forty-Eight, First Blood
“RuleBreaker!? Do you want to—"
"Whew, it's strange that I haven't liberated my real name in front of you. Not counting the previous one, this should be the first time I've officially used it in front of you. But why do you seem familiar? Where did you get the name RuleBreaker? It's funny, you seem to be hiding more than I see. ”
The black-robed magician giggled, as if he had found a great toy
"Now that you know about RuleBreaker, you must know what it does, right? Do you remember? What I said last night -- I said, "One day I will definitely make you pay for my shame tonight." Hehehehe, although I had expectations, I never thought that the opportunity for revenge would be so soon. Should it be said, is this the so-called fate? ”
"Female Fox...... If it weren't for Lancer and Rider's obstruction, how could you have a chance to scream in front of me with a third-rate product like you!! ”
"Huh." Rider snorted coldly and put the blindfold back on
"Huh? Can you still speak? I'm really sorry for my level of goodness. Hehehe, what about you? Your Excellency Hero? Whatever you say, your defeat is already doomed here. I'll take your scolding as a compliment. ”
The teeth were almost crushed, and blood was spilling from between the teeth.
If it's not Rider...... If it weren't for Lancer!!
Mordred gritted her teeth and watched as Caster drew closer and closer, finally standing entirely in front of her, raising her hand holding the dagger aloft
On the other side, on the Master side
Emiya Shirou stared at Caster
"What's going on...... The Noble Phantasm—"
Just by looking at it, you can feel the filth and ominousness contained in it
The aura attached to the deformed lightning-like dagger made people feel disgusted to the point of vomiting
"Red Saber!!"
I rushed out
No, absolutely not, it's over if you get stabbed by that
"I've warned you not to mess around, Boy!"
"Who cares about you!!"
Although I don't understand the essence of that thing, I somehow understand what it does
It is an unclean blade that breaks all magic
Caster prepares to snatch Red Saber away with that dagger. No, she must have taken the Red Saber and then went to attack the Blue Saber.
The current blue Saber simply has no means of defense
If she gets a two-mounted Saber, then she has the strength to rival Berserker
So she's going to do it
"Wait, wait! Shirou!? Ahh No matter what!! ”
Behind him, Tosaka's complaint was heard, followed by pitch-black magic bullets like repeating pistols
It's the so-called Gandr Strike, and the magic contained in Tosaka's Gandr is so strong that at first glance it looks like a bullet.
I apologized in my heart, and explained to her in detail, and then apologized no matter what, but now I had to stop Caster
Caster stretched out his right hand, and the circle of triple rings blocked Tosaka's attack
"[Gandr]? A little trick born out of the Nordic Lune magic. Interesting, little girl, let me teach you about the so-called Gandr and the gap between us. ”
Don't you think we can be a threat to her at all?
Caster was not in a hurry to stab the short knife, and with considerable ease, Caster pointed his finger at Tosaka
"How—"
I can't even hear the phrase "how is it possible".
The same burst of magic bullets
A pitch-black rain made up of Gandr
That's undoubtedly Gandr, but it's not Gandr
The so-called Gandr is a non-lethal magic technique that originated in the Nordic region
Pointing at the subject and firing a magic bullet like a pistol to curse others and destroy their health
And Caster's [Gandr] is something different. Its magic composition is no different from that of [Gandr], but the magic power contained in each shot is enough to kill the attack
If Tosaka's [Gandr] is a bullet, then Caster's [Gandr] is probably already at the level of a burst of shells or explosives
Both in terms of quantity and quality, Caster is superior
If you get shot by that [Gandr], even if you get lucky enough to hit your hands and feet, you'll be cursed
[Roar!!] 】
Stopping her was Berserker, the black giant who shielded Tosaka with a stone sword - not Ilya in her arms.
Pitch-black magic bullets struck the steel body like rain
"Well done Tosaka! If you stay there like this, Caster's magic won't hurt you! ”
"Cut, do some tricks."
I rushed up, keeping an eye on Rider as I headed for Caster's position
"Huh? Close combat? Interesting. Hehe, it's fine. I just think it's a bit boring to end like this...... Since you're stupid enough to kill yourself, I'll treat it as a special show to have fun with you. Rider, what do you think? Do you want to come along? ”
"I'm exempt. I'm not in the habit of playing with my prey, and the Master doesn't give any other orders, so they're as you like. ”
"Ahhh~ What a pity. Then you're welcome, I'll play with you very gently—don't die too soon, right? ”
Fingers pointed at me
Since Tosaka is under Berserker's protection, I'm the only one under attack
Pouring down magic bullets
I dodged as best I could
If you are shot, you will be over, and if you are hit, you will die
"Whoa!!"
It struck on the left shoulder like a pickled iron cone
The pain of the magic bullet touching the area as if it had been ignited
But that was just the first reaction, and the next second he completely lost the sensation in his left shoulder
It felt like that part didn't exist anymore
"Is it going to be like this just by wiping it?"
I didn't hit, in fact I just brushed it off
If you stop any later, your entire left arm will be knocked flying
"Idiots, you guys!! One idiot and Caster are playing magic, and another idiot is rushing up like this?! Kamikaze, you ?!! ”
"W---isn't it because you useless Servant lost?! Why do you think I, as a Master, would risk my life? Is! We're here to save you! ”
Tosaka shouted, but didn't stop his movements
Gandr hits Caster's right hand in the circle
It didn't work, but thanks to her interference, I was able to barely dodge
But no, you can't connect to Caster like this
"Who wants you to save it!? What else do humans want to do?! ”
"Huh?! You're so embarrassed to say that you stupid Servant who only has an immortal nature!? Who was so full of words before, but was easily knocked down? If you have the heart to say cool words, it's better to think about how to get out!! ”
"It's useless."
Rider said lightly
"Even if you're immortal, it's useless. These eyes are not meant to kill your body, but to turn it into a rock. You will be alive and turned into a stone statue. ”
Flying magic bullets hit the ground, scorching out one pit after another
"What's wrong Boy? Why stop? It's not an option to dodge, right? Come on, let me see what you junior magicians are capable of. ”
That's impossible
Caster's attack is an endless rainstorm.
As a magician, I can see how exaggerated this "magic" is.
Not to mention approaching, even escaping is an extravagant hope
But there is hope
[Humanity will never be able to defeat the Servant.] These Heroic Spirits are fighting with me with this idea. In the face of us ordinary people, she doesn't even use more than half of her strength
This is not only their self-confidence, but also our opportunity
Just show weakness, wait quietly for your opportunity, and break through Caster's defenses in one fell swoop
Staring wide-eyed at her movements
The pistol must have an aiming process, and the only thing that is fast is the bullet after it is discharged
"Huh? Have you become more flexible? So how about I add a few more chips? ”
As soon as the words fell, the number of magic bullets doubled
"This bastard!!"
Yes, even the best at dodging can't dodge in the rain
If there is not a breakthrough
Breakthrough...... If there is a breakthrough!
"Tosaka!!"
I don't have any hope, but Tosaka is different, she is an orthodox magician, completely different from a half-person like me, an eldest lady from a serious magic family
"Ahh It's really hard to get to work this time! Zehn……!” (Number 10......! )
Rin Tosaka throws out the gem
It is numbered "ten", and it is also one of only ten gemstones
The gem shattered the moment it was thrown, and the huge magic power inside it instantly exploded
I've heard of it
Tosaka excels in what is known as gem magic
Infuse the gem with magic power to make a simple magic mark, and then release the magic inside instantly when you use it
To take a less accurate example, that is a bomb
But it can do more than just explode
The storage magic in that gem was her amount in a year, ten in all, adding up to ten years
In order to cope with this fierce battle, she took out all ten gems in her vault
"Huh~? There's really a set, it's much smarter than I thought, Miss. ”
The gem shattered Caster's right defense, but she still smiled and used [Gandr] to cancel out the remaining magic
Caster with almost infinite magic to use.
She uses gems as amplifiers to fight against.
The difference in strength is clear at a glance.
With just ten years of magic, it would be impossible to defeat Caster.
I'm closer to Caster
There are about ten meters left
"So? What's next? Is there no drama anymore? Boy over there? You're just as helpless, aren't you? ”
There is no stopping magic bullet at all
As natural as breathing, Caster reopened his defensive circle in his right hand
These ten meters are like a moat
"Cut, Tosaka!!"
"Ahhhh No matter! After that, I will definitely ask you for reimbursement of the loss!! Neun,Acht,Sieben────! Stilschie?tBeschiesenErschieSsung────! (Nine, eight, seven, all throw, annihilate the enemy......!) )
The Spear of Ice that Descended
Unleash several gems in a row, and compress the magic power into the ice spear that can easily destroy a house!
"It's useless."
The purple-robed witch gently raised her right hand
Yes, it didn't work
Even if a hundred gems were stacked on top of each other, Tosaka's magic wouldn't hurt Caster
So
“Ver?nderungExplosion!” (Change, burst!) )
The ice gun exploded before it could make contact with Caster
"What!!"
Taking advantage of the magic explosion, I finally jumped in front of Caster in front of the gap, which my eyes couldn't see for a while
Yes, that wasn't about breaking through Caster's defenses at all
Three gems, three years of hard labor, just to captivate Caster's eyes for a moment
Three years, just for this moment, there is no more extravagant use
So what's to do after that?
What can I do?
will die.
Intuition speaks
If only Caster could react, it would be over
I'm just a third-rate magician. Do I have a way to defeat Caster?
"Idiot! Even so, what can be done?! Don't run yet! But a third-rate magician, are you trying to kill yourself!? ”
Red Saber's voice echoed in his ears
However, this is not the case
The means were held from the beginning.
If this person is a magician
It stands to reason that it is not itself that fights, but something created by magic!
“Trace────”
“On!!”
Don't have a weapon?
Then create.
What do you want?
Axe?
Spear?
Halberd?
Dagger?
Definitely. All I need is a sword
And the sword of demon breaking. Ah, yes, I seem to have seen it in a trance, the weapon that Red Saber had taken
Success is unquestionable.
Recovery doesn't start with a basic structure.
From that concept, the creator's ideology, moral beliefs, and beliefs, we can trace its origin itself.
Therefore, it is a projection rather than a restoration, and it is the same shadow that falls from the real thing.
It doesn't matter what kind of divine karma it is.
As long as it is something that has been in shape at one time, there will be no obstacle to reappearing!
"Huh, lie!?"
That scene.
Ensaka spoke it out on my behalf.
In both hands there are the twin swords that Red Saber has held.
The yang sword is a general, and the yin sword is not evil.
It seems that it should be shorter, like a double-knife weapon
But in Red Saber's hands, it is as narrow as a Japanese sword
It was as if his hand was about to be broken.
I didn't feel it, but I heard the sound of nerves being cut one by one.
Hands will probably be wasted
But before that
"Oh, ah, ah, ah!!!"
Slashed hard at Caster's body
