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
