Chapter Seventy-Five: A Deal in the Dark (1)
Just as Lancer's piercing Deaththorn Spear pierced Sakura's heart, Archer, who was hundreds of meters away from the roof of the building, also unleashed a long-contained blow.
"Spiral Sword...... Broken_Fantasy (Fantasy Honkai)! ”
This time, the targets are still Li Qiuyin and Saleh, but the slight difference is that this time Archer is using a more powerful spiral sword, once it is pierced by this magic sword, it can basically be equivalent to death. Not to mention that Archer also used the illusion of Honkai which is equivalent to liberating his real name.
The speed of the spiral sword firing was higher than that of the Akahara Hound shot by Archer before, and the spiral sword had already arrived before the sound of breaking the sky arrived.
It's just that since Li Qiuyin knew that Archer was carrying out a vertex strike from a distance, how could he not prepare at all?
"The flying stream is straight down 3,000 feet, and it is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen for nine days!"
A waterfall opened in front of Li Qiuyin and Saleh, and the moment the spiral sword sank into the waterfall, the power of the fantasy collapse also burst out, and the huge explosion almost covered the entire playground, and the power of this blow was at least ten times stronger than the previous Akahara Hound!
At the same time, before the explosion dissipated, another sword flew through the air, and Archer used a series of arrows this time, and he also saw through the biggest weakness of Li Qiuyin's ability, that is, the interval of time......
The kind of ability that Li Qiuyin casts is almost like a "spirit of words", and every time it is activated, there must be a chanting part, which is a necessary precondition for casting spells. Although Li Qiuyin sings very quickly every time, it is not surprising that he must ensure the rhythm of the chanting, many magic tricks require chanting, and rhythm and rhyme are also very important in magic spells. Therefore, from this point of view, no matter how fast Li Qiuyin's spell is, it will still be unavoidable for some time. Then, most importantly, he had to wait for the end of the spell before he could cast it a second time.
After seeing through this, Archer finally figured out a way to deal with Li Qiuyin, that is, to launch a rapid and continuous attack, so that the opponent could defeat him before chanting the poem for the second time!
Archer's second sword is the Akabara Hound, which is mediocre in power, but has the ability to track the enemy until they die.
For situations that are now obscured by smoke, this sword could not be better.
The sword flew out like an arrow, which may seem awkward to say, but it was exactly what it was.
True to its name, the Akahara Hound is like a true hound, using its keen sense of smell to find and tear his throat to the enemies hidden beneath the smoke!
The smoke cleared...... Archer had enough light for his vision to work in the moment the smoke cleared slightly, and the result was ......
"Broken_Fantasy (Fantasy Honkai)!"
In an instant, there was another explosion, not that Archer had special feelings for the explosion, but that ...... The moment the smoke cleared, he saw the white mercenary, a guy named Saleh, grabbing the Chiyuan Hound with one hand, and the Chiyuan Hound was already less than ten centimeters away from Li Qiuyin's face.
"I wish you were dead......" Archer prayed sincerely, he was helpless against such a difficult enemy, and it would be nice if he could just kill them like that.
It's just that Archer actually understands in his heart that this possibility is not high, first, this time is enough for Li Qiuyin to use the ancient poems of the Celestial Dynasty that are similar to Yan Ling to chant again, and second, the other party is a guy with rich combat experience and cautious care.
As long as these two things are in place, it is not impossible to deal with Archer's Akabara Hound.
That's when Archer turned his attention a little bit back to the battle next door, uh, next to it......
Lancer gulped blood, almost staining his body red, and in front of him, Berserker put on an eight-pole fist stance, but he didn't take advantage of Lancer's vomiting blood to attack, but waited quietly, waiting for Lancer to adjust his state.
And Lancer waved his hand, and the red magic spear that was originally worn on the heart of the cherry blossom disappeared and reappeared in Lancer's hand, Lancer casually wiped the blood from his mouth with his sleeve, and said to Berserker:
"Keeping you waiting...... I'm so sorry. ”
Berserker's eyes were indifferent and he no longer spoke, but the momentum of his whole body was getting stronger and stronger, and it was conceivable that the next blow, Berserker's attack was bound to be as amazing as thunder.
And just as Lancer and Berserker are preparing for a life-and-death showdown, Saber and Emiya Shirou seem to have solved the crisis. Because of Archer's attack on Li Qiuyin, Li Qiuyin had to give up his continuous spell on Emiya Shirou, so now the place where Emiya Shirou and Saber are located is no longer the unbelievable mire with strong suction, but has turned back into solid ground.
It's just that the part that sank into the ground can't come back.
"Shirou, wait a minute, I'll get you out!" When Saber saw that the ground had returned to its original state, he immediately judged that it was Archer's fault, and although some of his feet had sunk under the ground, it was nothing.
Urged by the magic, Saber pulled hard, his feet shattering and breaking free from the ground. Then, Saber thrust the holy sword in his hand into the ground, and suddenly, ber controlled it very well, only using the magic power of the Wind King Enchantment to shatter the nearby soil, but did not hurt Emiya Shirou.
Then, Saber hugged Emiya Shirou and pulled him out from under the ground.
Before he had time to think about it, Emiya Shirou hugged the blood-stained Sakura Makiri.
Sakura...... Cherry!!!! ”
Tears of remorse, unspeakable heartache, as if this shot was pierced in one's heart.
And Rin Tosaka was also half-crouching next to the blood-stained girl at this time, holding the gem tightly in her hand, but none of them could allow her to achieve the miracle she had completed again.
"Shirou ......" Saber really didn't know how to safen him, although it was only a few days, Saber also liked this gentle and considerate little girl, but, Lancer......
Saber knew that the battle was not over, and Archer didn't know if the attack had succeeded in killing the enemy, and Lancer ...... Although Saber is now full of murderous intent towards Lancer, Berserker seems to have seen Lancer that he will not be able to sneak up and besiege a badly wounded enemy by following the way of a knight.
"What's wrong? What happened? ”
At this time, a figure rushed to Emiya Shirou's side from outside the campus, and when he saw the sad look on Emiya Shirou's face and the blood-stained Sakura Makiri, he was also taken aback.
Sakura...... Sakurata...... "Emiya Shirou also saw the comer clearly, it's a latte." He finally arrived. But...... It doesn't seem to be of much use either.
Sakura...... was stabbed by Lancer's treasure ......" or Rin Tosaka briefly explained the situation, obviously the pain in her heart was no worse than Shirou, but her long-term self-consciousness as a magician still made her temporarily suppress her grief in her heart and use cold reason to the outside.
"Senpai......" Sakura called weakly.
Sakura...... Cherry...... I am here...... You're going to be okay...... You'll be fine......" Emiya Shirou was acting like a helpless child at the moment, because he really couldn't find a way to save her.
"Get out of the way!"
At this time, without waiting for Kirizakura to say anything, the latte pushed Emiya Shirou away, and then took out an elixir that exuded cold air.
"Hurry up...... Eat it! Latte looked serious and stuffed the elixir into Sakura's mouth.
Perhaps subconsciously, Sakura Makiri's throat shook and she swallowed the medicine that the latte had taken out.
Then, a faint chill emanated from Sakura Makiri's body, and Emiya Shirou could feel that the body of the girl in his arms had stiffened......
"Sakura ——!!"
