Chapter Fifty-Eight: Let's Duel!
Artoria is said to be a tyrant. Although I don't know what others think, Xie Xie feels that this sentence is probably correct. Her yard is probably as big as her own garden, and it seems to have everything in it. This kendo arena is also about the size of a football field.
Xie Xie sat on a chair with his calves dangling, and Gilgamesh was standing beside him with his chest crossed, exuding an air of "don't talk to me".
Anyone who sees their friends being provoked will probably not be very happy, especially Gilgamesh's tsundere. Although Artoria said that Gilgamesh didn't seem to like her very much, Xie Xie couldn't see that she didn't like her at all. This is already a relationship that is moving in the direction of lily, right?
Estes stood casually, his hands on his hips, his smile provocative, his knight's sword pointed diagonally at the floor. This sword is probably a personal item by Panel Jun, anyway, Xie Xie didn't see this sword last time when he strengthened it.
In her hand, Artoria was holding a tabula rasa sword provided by Xie Xie. Although it was not the first time she had held such a real sword, the cold touch and heavy weight of her hand seemed to remind her all the time that this was not practice.
Estes seemed to feel a little bored waiting like this, raised the sword in his hand, and said somewhat casually: "It can be attacked from any side, come on, let me see if you have something worthy of that guy's attention." ”
Artoria didn't answer, but after taking a deep breath, she snorted softly and slashed at Estes with a sword in both hands. A very ordinary starting move, no matter how Estes responds, he can easily connect to the combo.
The smile on Estes' face widened, and he didn't mean to move at all. For her, in fact, there is no difficulty in defeating, or even killing the little girl in front of her. As Xie Xie's biggest cheater, she has a hundred ways to get Artoria to die without knowing how.
Looking at the long sword in Artoria's hand, Xie Xie's expression moved, and he suddenly remembered that the sword seemed to be a little familiar.
By the way, hasn't that thing been stuffed in his backpack as a whiteboard sword for beeping~ artifacts? He remembered that it seemed that it was indeed as if he had thrown this thing into the reinforcement last time when he was perfunctory to strengthen it. But does it really work......
Xie Xie looked at the whiteboard long sword that had not changed at all and had no bright spots at all, neither the seven-colored light emanating from it, nor any special attributes that were so sharp that they would be injured just by looking at it, as if it had not changed at all.
Xie Xie touched his chin. Although Panel Jun is very black-bellied many times, what should be given will not be less than him. This enhancement must have its reason when it is taken out, and it can only be strengthened once, so there should be some special bonus, right?
No matter what Xie Xie thought, the battle between the two was still going on.
Artoria swung the long sword in her hand steadily, each sword pointed at the vital point of Estes, and from time to time made some upward movements, but they were all defused by Estes one by one. Although it seems that Artoria has been attacking, forcing Estes to defend, Artoria knows very well that the person in front of him is probably still releasing water.
After Xie Xie's strengthening, her physical fitness was already barely able to keep up with Estes's movements. Yes, keep up with Estes's movements. Whenever one of her swords was swung, Estes would always precipitously parry the sword in advance where she wanted to attack, and at the same time follow her own attack, forcing herself to continue attacking.
If you don't attack, I'm afraid that your side will collapse in an instant. She knew it was tantamount to a slow death, but she had to do it.
The attack and defense of the two were very fast, and Estes's small movements were also quite hidden, so Gilgamesh on the side didn't see anything at all, only Xie Xie sighed.
Sure enough, it was a little too reluctant to let Artoria and Estes, who are still just ordinary people, fight. If Estes was serious about killing Artoria, I'm afraid Artoria would have died long ago.
Suddenly, Artoria forced a twist and made a wide sweep with the sword in her hand.
Estes frowned, but still raised the long sword in his hand in front of him, slashed the sweep in his crotch, and just watched Artoria quickly retreat a few steps.
Artoria clenched her sword in both hands, gasping slightly, in stark contrast to Estes, whose breath was still calm.
Estes shook her head, she was a little taller than Artoria, lowered her head slightly to look down at Artoria, and said calmly, "Too weak." Is this your power? Are you going to use this to convince me? ”
Artoria gritted her teeth and didn't answer, just swung her sword again and rushed forward, starting a new round of Gong Attack. This time, Estes changed his strategy, and instead of defending passively, he fought against Artoria with a wide open and wide open.
At this point, Gilgamesh had already seen that Artoria was probably already in a full-fledged disadvantage, and couldn't help frowning, snorting coldly, and raising his hand as if he wanted to do something. Suddenly, a small pink hand gently pressed her.
She glanced at Xie Xie, who was standing in the chair and stopped her, as if asking Xie Xie why he was stopping her. She already felt that this battle was not fair, even after Xie Xie's strengthening, it was completely impossible for an ordinary person to match the battle-hardened Heroic Spirit. The absolute gap in experience and Noble Phantasms only makes people despair.
Not to mention that Artoria's swordsmanship has not yet reached the level of supernatural power, and even if she has that level, it is impossible to defeat Saber, who is a Heroic Spirit. Saber is the strongest rank, and its existence is also the strongest existence among all servants. If the master can defeat the servant, then why do you need the servant?
In Gilgamesh's opinion, Artoria was able to fight like this, and it would be out of place to continue, but it seemed that her servants would continue. I don't even look at her as a master!
Xie Xie shook his head lightly and said, "Let them solve it themselves." If she doesn't solve it, she won't stop. ”
"Hmph, do you want to stop me?" Gilgamesh snorted coquettishly and said with an unkind face: "That servant is too unsightly, I must let her know who is the master." ”
Xie Xie smiled indifferently: "It doesn't matter who it is, does it." When you start using this spell, you lose the war. Ever heard this phrase? ”
Gilgamesh frowned. She had never known that there was such a rule in the Holy Grail War. Although she is a magician, she doesn't know much about this Holy Grail War, and probably only knows what it is. Her friend Artoria, although also from a family of magicians, has no interest in magic at all, but is extremely keen on swordsmanship.
Thinking back to all the details of the Holy Grail War recorded in the book, she suddenly calmed down and asked Xie Xie, "Caster, tell me what your purpose is. Every Heroic Spirit that is summoned should have a wish. And Saber, since you know her well, you should know what she wants. ”
"Do you want it......" Xie Xie muttered, a look of remembrance suddenly appeared on his face, "What I want, it can't be given to me." No matter how almighty the wishing machine is, it is impossible to achieve the wish of my heart. As for Estes...... I guess I want to get stronger. ”
"Impossible." Gilgamesh asserted, "There is no wish that cannot be fulfilled by the Holy Grail." As long as it is a wish to exist, then it will be fulfilled. ”
Xie Xie suddenly smiled and asked, "What if I make a wish and make it impossible to fulfill this wish?" If it helped me achieve it, why couldn't it be achieved? If not, how can it be achieved? An almighty wishing machine can never exist. ”
Gilgamesh snorted coldly and said, "Crooked. I ask you what your desire is. ”
The expression on Xie Xie's face became even more ethereal. He shook his head suddenly, regained his calm face and said, "I don't know either." ”
"Huh?" Gilgamesh looked at Xie Xie with the eyes that looked like an idiot, "Are you kidding me?" ”
Xie Xie smiled nondeniably, pointed at Estes and Artoria over there, and said, "They are about to decide the winner." ”
Although Gilgamesh felt that Xie Xie was just perfunctory to her, she still looked back at the two of them in the battle.
Now Artoria has fallen into a complete disadvantage, and can only constantly parry and block, being pressed and beaten by Estes, and constantly retreating. And...... She seemed to have no way back, and if she went any further, she would reach the edge of the field.
The expression on Artoria's face was extremely serious, and she watched every movement of Estes with full attention, the sweat had soaked every part of her body, and even a large puddle of obvious water stains appeared on her clothes, and her hair was hanging weakly, only the spell indicating her identity in her hand was faintly flashing bright red.
Estes, who was completely shaken, laughed arrogantly, and the sword in his hand slashed heavily at Artoria's sword, bringing out one muffled sound after another, and if he didn't swing a sword, it would make Artoria take a step back.
She also noticed that Artoria would soon have no way back, so she simply increased the pace of her attack and sneered, "What's wrong? Isn't that going to work? ”
Artoria still didn't speak, silently fending off Estes' attack.
After three steps, she suddenly felt a subtle difference in the place under her feet.
It's to the edge.
At this moment, Artoria's heart was calm and did not waver in the slightest. After blocking Estes's sword again, Artoria still chose to take a step back and stepped on the wooden wall in order to relieve her remaining strength.
Estes smiled, the sword in his hand slashing at Artoria mercilessly.
Will die......
Artoria's turquoise pupils shrank, her eyes widened slightly, and she held the long sword in her hand with both hands, and she slammed it against Estes's sword, and at the same time, her leg on the wall used all her strength to pour all the force it received into the blow.
The deafening sound of gold and iron echoed in the empty kendo hall, and Estes looked at the knight's sword broken in two in his hand with some surprise, and couldn't help frowning, and re-condensed a cold sword in his hand and swept towards Artoria. This kind of reaction was not allowed in her, so she had to suppress her surprise in the shortest possible time to respond.
What she didn't expect was that this long sword, which had been with her for a long time, would be broken like this. Even in the battle with Xie Xie, this sword was just picked off. Although this sword is not as good as a god, it is far harder than an ordinary longsword, because it is made with almost the hardest punch in the empire.
Artoria didn't expect that her blow would be able to directly cut off Estes's sword, but after a brief moment of stunnedness, she quickly spun down and slashed against Estes's icy sword.
This time, the long sword, which was only made of cold ice, was not as resistant as the iron work, and was easily cut in two by the sword in Artoria's hand. Estes was not annoyed, and once again condensed a long sword and stabbed Artoria in the abdomen.
Only this time...... She miscalculated.
As if Artoria hadn't seen the long sword, the sword in her hand still slashed straight at Estes's neck, with the momentum of dying together. Estes sighed and stretched out his left hand to block it, attaching a thick layer of ice to his hand and opening the space-time freeze.
When Artoria realized that she seemed to have been cut hollow, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her neck, and then her eyes went black, and she fell to the ground unconscious.
Estes silently looked at the wound on his hand that was rapidly healing, and looked down at Artoria deeply.
Xie Xie ran to her with a snap and asked with a smile, "Are you qualified?" ”
Estes frowned, then sighed, and said with some reluctance, "Qualified." ”
Xie Xie just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Estes: "It's just that I haven't fully recognized her yet." She's still too weak for even a black pupil to kill her easily. She is still too weak like this. After saying that, Estes lowered his head and lowered the brim of his hat, covering his face so that Xie Xie could not see her expression.
Gilgamesh walked up to Artoria and confirmed that Artoria had only been knocked unconscious, before glancing coldly at Estes and saying, "I'd rather have Caster as my servant than you." ”
Estes smiled indifferently and said, "Whatever." It's not bad, is it? ”
Gilgamesh gave Estes a deep look, and with a flick of his hand, several shackles crossed and lifted Artoria on the ground, and left the kendo with Gilgamesh.
Estes picked up the whiteboard sword on the ground and touched it carefully before saying, "There is something wrong with this thing." The various attributes are abnormal, and are much higher than normal. With that, she glanced at the markings on the hilt of her sword. She was familiar with the logo, the symbol of the Imperial weapon.
Xie Xie didn't know where to find a long sword that was exactly the same as the one used by Estes, handed it to Estes, and said, "Try it." ”
Estes was not surprised by this, took the sword that was too familiar to be familiar, first stroked the sword body gently, and then slashed a few times in the air at will, and muttered: "It is probably 140% more than the original." And if I'm not mistaken, there should be a permanent property. ”
Xie Xie nodded faintly and said, "The exact value is forty-four percent, although this number is not very auspicious. After being buffed, it has an indestructible attribute and can only be strengthened by weapons. ”
Estes nodded with satisfaction, inserted the newly obtained long sword into the scabbard at his waist, and walked out of the martial arts training ground without looking back, just teasing in his mouth: "The door of my room is open at any time, I am waiting for you to come to attack at night Xiao Xie Xie." ”
This woman ......
Xie Xie, who was still looking at the map, couldn't help but grit his teeth and look at the panel hanging in front of him.
