Chapter 35: The Second Master's Confidence
"When!!" Xue Qiong's crotch did not suffer after all. A shuriken that flew out collided with the weapon thrown by Rider in the air.
In Xue Qiong's detailed plan to disguise himself as Caster's Master, Minette's identity is set as Xiao Yun's friend, a magician from across the ocean, and he also has a certain knowledge of hidden weapons.
So Minette's casual shuriken didn't make people pay much attention, and although Rider's attack was temporarily blocked, he still rushed towards this side steadfastly.
But...
“Rider! What are you doing!! Shinji snarled at Rider, who suddenly fell to the ground on all fours and retreated to his side, but Rider didn't say a word.
Because the situation is already obvious ...
Between the two of them and Xue Qiong, in this small area, the cement pavement was cut into pieces by some kind of black line.
At the same time, a young man with blond hair and a tuxedo appeared in the middle of the net of black lines, and saluted the opposite side with grace.
Nicholas didn't know when it appeared, and under Minette's control, he used Nicholas's advanced application, the Shadow Spider Silk Array!
[Successfully interact with the protagonist of this world "Medusa" for the first time, and reward 480 points.] 】
Xue Qiong's face changed when she heard the prompt sound of the beacon.
(Wait!) Four-eighty-zero? What's going on? Isn't Rider just a character who plays soy sauce and sends experience in the original game? Why is there a meet-and-greet reward equivalent to 6% of the exit point? Could it be that she is in the cherry blossom line... )
“Archer!!” Rin Tosaka's impatient soft shout interrupted Xue Qiong's thoughts.
The red Heroic Spirit did not appear in front of everyone, but a thin golden light seemed to fly from the sky, with a speed like lightning, and shot towards Rider and Shinji Makiri!
"Boom !!" A large crater was blown out of the ground. After the smoke cleared, the two people who had been there were gone, but there was a twisted sword in the middle of the pit, and then the sword gradually disappeared...
Archer didn't know where to hide, and launched a ferocious sniper attack with the projected pseudo-spiral sword!
It may have been because Archer's attack blew up the buried cables, and at the same time as the explosion occurred, all the street lights in the area were extinguished, and the streets were completely darkened.
"Over there." Xue Qiong lit a cigarette and pointed to his left front with his other hand, his enhanced night vision and ability to sense magic came in handy.
Nicholas raised the tome in his hand, and saw that in the direction that Xue Qiong was pointing, a flash of lightning appeared in the air, and then a purple spider covered in spikes and the size of a man fell out of thin air.
"Smack!" The large spider that fell smashed out another flash of lightning, and then the spider disappeared into thin air again.
Archer didn't know when he came, his tone was solemn, but he said with a relaxed expression: "Rin, it seems that we have met an opponent who is more capable of running..."
"Run, run," Xue Qiong exhaled a puff of smoke, "Anyway, didn't you say that you should first maintain the current state where all the seven servants are alive?" ”
"Haha, haha, hahahaha!! Miyamoto-sensei, Tosaka, it turns out that you are all ..."From the darkness in front of Xue Qiong, there was a burst of crazy laughter.
In the eyes of Xue Qiong, Minette and Archer, three people with better night vision, Shinji Maki was held in Rider's arms, as if he was not injured... It's just that there is a short blood mark on his face, and his clothes also have some burnt marks, it seems that even if Rider hugged Shinji Maki for the first time and dodged, he still rubbed some edges, was scratched in the face by the flying clods of dirt, and was torn by the electric light emitted by the smashed Ekloso.
Shinji jumped out of Rider's arms and dusted off his body, but it didn't seem to have any effect.
Then Shinji Maki noticed that his face was a little painful, reached out and touched it, and took the bloodstained hand in front of him to take a look...
"Smack!" Shinji Maki slapped Rider hard in the face.
"Rubbish!!" Shinji Magimi roared, "I can't even dodge such an attack, what do I want you for!! ”
Rider covered his face, lowered his head, and didn't speak.
"Jumping clown." The bald head put the high-frequency katana that had been pulled out and put it back into its scabbard.
"It seems to be a paper tiger entirely..."Xue Qiong mocked, "Jian Tong-san, should you... In fact, since participating in the Holy Grail War, he has never fought with other Servants? And even the specific strength of his own Servant is not particularly clear ... I don't think I haven't even seen any other magician, right? I guess, judging by what you've said before, your mindset is just... From the hands of your old man, I got a humanoid toy that is more powerful than ordinary people in combat power, and she looks and has a good figure, and she is also used for personal vendetta... Ah, thinking about it this way, the beautiful Ayako-san who shouldn't have disappeared was just caught by you and had a good time, right?! ”
"Ah, yes!" Shinji Maki straightened up and walked towards him step by step, Rider walking beside him, "Mizu, I've been able to stay awake until now, and I'm in good health... Looks like we can play for two more days..."
"Your guess is really accurate..."Rin Tosaka said to Xue Qiong, "I just said yesterday that Mitsuki Ayako must have been implicated in something related to magic, and today the initiator jumped out on his own..."
Xue Qiong didn't reply to Rin Tosaka's words, but continued to smile and said to the second master: "Your 'yes' word, in addition to the matter of beautiful Ayako, I also admitted my previous words?" Oh, there's really no way to take an honest child like you, thanks to you, my God's prophecy has been verified again..."
"You!!" Shinji Maki seemed to be really annoyed, waved his arm forward, and yelled, "Rider!! Kill them all for me! ”
But Rider didn't rush up this time.
Seeing that Rider was unmoved, Shinji Maki became even more angry, and said angrily: "What are you doing! Rider! I'll let you go and kill them all! ”
“Master。” A beautiful woman with long purple hair, Rider said lightly: "The other party may be two groups of fighters who have formed an alliance, and it is really unwise for them to fight hard when they have two Servants..."
"Hahaha!!" Xiao Yun listened to the conversation between the two and couldn't help laughing, "Did you hear that?" Your own Servant is despising your IQ~~"
“Rider! Less nonsense, give it to me!! It seems that the second master was indeed burned by anger, and took out a small notebook from his pocket and slapped Rider's face, "Do you have to let me use the spell?!" ”
(Spell?) Xue Qiong's eyes were attracted by what Shinji Maki took out, (By the way, I remember that in the original work, Shinji Makiri's spell was such a small book...) But now that I think about it, is it really scientific to have a spell in this form? It's like it's ready to be handed over... Is there any problem here that wasn't in the original? )
Thinking of this, Xue Qiong changed her mind. Originally, after he met Shinji Makiri, and found out that Rider's meeting point was 480, he thought that because of the plan to save Ilia and the possibility of greatly affecting the plot after killing Rider, he decided to just drive Rider away... But now, Xue Qiong suddenly thought that it seemed to be a good practice to snatch this spell book over.
Seeing that Shinji Kiri's sanity had basically disappeared, Rider had no choice but to rush towards Nicholas and Archer.
Seeing this, Xue Qiong suddenly shouted: "Bald head!" Minette! Let's rush up together! The purpose is the spell that the guy is holding!! ”
Then Xue Qiong drew his black dagger and rushed forward with the bald head and empty-handed Minette who had redrawn his high-frequency katana.
"Hey?! Why didn't you call me? Seeing this, Xiao Yun complained and followed.
Nicholas's Shadow Spider Silk Array was still open, and Rider originally wanted to bypass the wall next to her, but now after Xue Qiong and a few people rushed up directly, she could only change her tactics, and just resisted the attack and sluggish effects of the Spider Silk Array, and still forced her to sprint to this side while slowing down a little.
Xue Qiong, who rushed to the front, turned on the super wave shield to block Rider's attack, and then rushed towards Shinji Jian without stopping, still shouting in his mouth: "Minette!" There should be no problem with some low-level necromancy! Bareheaded! Try your knives and knife skills well!! ”
"Understood!!" The bald head shouted angrily, and the high-frequency katana in his hand vibrated at a frequency that human senses couldn't feel, and then slashed at Rider on the head, and at the same time blocked Rider's route to pursue Xue Qiong!!
After hearing Xue Qiong's words, Minette stopped, chanted something in his mouth, and saw that there were a few more white bones spinning rapidly next to Minette, Bald Head and Xiaoyun's bodies, protecting them.
Necromancer Skill, Bone Shield!
The bald head relied on the protection of the bone shield, and the incomparably sharp high-tech katana in his hand, and jerkily used a few knife techniques contained in the cold weapon mastery, barely blocking Rider's attack, and at the same time preventing Rider from pursuing in the direction of Xue Qiong.
At this moment, Minette came behind the bald head like the wind and shouted to dodge!
The bald head didn't know what Minette wanted to do, so he instinctively jumped to the side.
At the moment when Minette was exposed to Rider, Rider saw a white ball of light appear on Minette's wrists and two hands, and then flew towards her at high speed...
Rider finally didn't have time to dodge this time. After the light cluster touched Rider's body, it exploded into dozens of small light clusters, and then ran wildly around the range of only a few steps, and every time the small light group touched Rider's body, it would bring away some flesh and skin. At the same time, these small light clusters that move irregularly at high speed also restrict Rider's movements, and Nicholas takes the opportunity to summon a large spider again and smash Rider on the head!!
Heroic Minette, once again as an arranged magician, has used a necromancy spell that has been circulated among the dark elves, and the Hundred Ghosts are nocturnal!
