Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Magic Sword and the Magic Spear are destined to be bento
On the roof of a tall building five kilometers away from the Civic Center, Emiya Kiritsugu paced nervously back and forth—the connection between the two Heroic Spirits was broken, and the battlefield was shrouded in chaos by an enchantment.
The only thing to be thankful for was that he could still sense the existence of the two Heroic Spirits through the Spell.
Suddenly, a faint light pierced the night sky and rushed straight towards Emiya Kiritsugu.
"That's ...... Wright's elves? And also?! The magician killer's eyes widened, and his voice unconsciously raised: "What's the matter!" ”
Lu Feisi, who was holding the Knight King in one hand, did not answer, but reached out and pointed at the center of Emiya Kiritsugu's eyebrows, and then the whole person turned into light, and the blonde girl covered in blood immediately fell to the ground - she didn't even have room to put the Knight King down.
Emiya Kiritsugu was stunned for a moment, and his cloudy eyes returned to clarity...... The magician killer, who had already learned the cause and effect from the memories transmitted by Lufit, glanced at the unconscious Knight King with some regret, and then suppressed his mana supply to her to the minimum, and without hesitation, he took his assistant lover down the tall building and threw the unconscious Knight King here.
In the mind of the pragmatist Emiya Kiritsugu, the Heroic Spirit was originally a tool for the Holy Grail, and the Heroic Spirit who had lost its combat effectiveness was useless garbage - of course he understood that Artoria's injuries could be recovered, but judging from Lufis Memory, the Holy Grail was about to come, and he had no time to wait.
So Emiya Kiritsugu decided to take a desperate gamble, even if he realized that Wright was dead in battle and that he had to confront the Heroic Spirit with his flesh and blood, he would not back down...... Because this was his only chance to fulfill his wish, he was already ready to sacrifice everything.
It's just that what he didn't know was that not long after they went downstairs, the knight Wang Xiu who was lying on the rooftop trembled slightly.
……
As an A+-level defensive treasure, the defensive power of the Sacred Barrier is undoubted, and even in the A+ rank, it is one of the best. Even though Wright was deeply injured at this time, and the power of the Holy Light was almost exhausted, the supply of Emiya Kiritsugu's magic power had never been cut off, and with his state at this time, even if Mo Wen and the others were present, it would take a lot of effort to defeat this defense.
――It may be better than survivability, mobility, and the heavenly sky with miraculous protection, but in terms of frontal defense, the knight is the No.1 well-deserved.
It's a pity that he met Xu Ming.
In the Holy Grail War, everyone has hole cards, and mages are no exception.
Use your inherent skills to temporarily increase your magic attribute to Ex level, and then use all your strength to unleash a spell that has been sublimated into a treasure - the power of this blow has exceeded the upper limit of the sacred barrier.
Not to mention that the attributes of the final light still have a faint restraint on the holy light.
Cold and cruel, like the extinguishing light of the stars when they fell, it pierced the unpretentious giant shield and shattered the knight's spirit core, and with a smile of regret, Wright dissipated the light.
"Hoo ......"
After killing the knight, Xu Ming took a breath, although he was still in a bad mood, he had calmed down.
【Remaining Heroic Spirits...... There are only four left?! Long Aotian is also dead...... Did it really turn into a decisive battle? After perceiving it carefully, Xu Ming turned his head to look at the golden "Holy Grail" on the altar mountain next to him.
Although it still emitted a faint golden light, Xu Ming noticed that in the center of the cup, a faint trace of black qi continued to impact outward, but it was blocked back by a layer of golden light.
"......" [Sealing, is this a bit difficult?] When Mo Wen comes back, he will go to Liudong Temple to deal with the evil of this world. Xu Ming took a deep breath. [Before that, while the magic of the Ex level was still ...... Just let me seal you once! 】
……
Gilgamesh...... Defeated? Yan Feng Qili, who was lurking not far from the civic center, suddenly felt a palpitation, and then he found that the spell on the back of his hand had lost its previous luster.
[Even so...... The answer sought in this life is only one step away, how can you give up! 】
The vicar of the church stood up with a blank face.
……
"......" [really...... What about the hard battle] Mo Wen tore off his old robe, stood up straight, and then activated the jade pendant around his waist, and the emerald green Dao light slowly enveloped the monk's body, turning the hideous wounds into faint scars.
"Are you alright?" The little devil pulled Bai Qiong and trotted over, his eyes wandering: "I didn't expect you to have such a crazy side......"
“…… I'm not an ice cube, so there's always a time for blood. Mo Wen stretched out his hand: "Hurry up and do the right thing...... The battle isn't over yet. ”
"Cut ......" [this guy's ......] Lias wrinkled her little face, and reluctantly put her hand on Mo Wen's hand.
Xiaobai also made the same move.
A faint light poured into Mo Wen's body from the two little girls, and the monk's pale face improved slightly.
After ......the ceremony, Mo Wen let out a sigh of relief, closed his eyes and asked Sakura about Xu Ming's state through the spell.
[The ceremony was successful, the Holy Grail was successfully separated, but Long Aotian and the sky were both killed? In addition to us, there are two Heroic Spirits still alive, one of whom is the mortally injured Artoria...... And Xu Ming's state doesn't seem to be very good] Mo Wen frowned, digesting the information he had just gotten.
"Why do you look like this?" The little demon who had just transmitted back the spiritual power that Mo Wen had stored in her body asked.
"The situation is delicate...... "The monk sighed, then turned to look at Webber in a daze, "Go back, young man, your Holy Grail War is over." ”
"I ......"
"Remember what you've learned in the past few days, and don't let that big guy live up to what he expects of you." After leaving this sentence, Mo Wen took the two little girls into the air with Edgeworth, and then disappeared from Webber's field of vision.
……
"Teacher, they're already on their way back." Sakura opened her eyes: "But the Liudong Temple is a little far away from us......"
"Knowing ......" After sealing the evil of this world with all his might, Xu Ming's forehead was slightly sweating: "Let's move over there too, and we can meet early......
"You don't have a chance......"
Kenneth's smug voice rang out, and the liquid mercury turned into a dozen thin lines and slashed at Alice Phil, who was still asleep, and Sakura, who was defenseless.
"Despicable!" Xu Ming was shocked, and hurriedly returned to defend himself, unfolding a magic barrier to protect everyone.
The defensive barrier unleashed by the Ex-rank magic easily blocked the menacing silver line, but it was easily pierced out of a hole by a red spear poking out of the oblique stab, and then pierced Xu Ming's shoulder.
"Teacher!"
Sakura, who reacted, did not hesitate to activate the spell, and the figure of the monk appeared in front of the little girl for the first time.
"Holy Grail!" Seeing that another heroic spirit appeared, Kenneth decisively adopted another plan, and when Dilumudo heard this, he picked up his gun with his backhand, and the chalice on the altar not far away jumped up and fell into Kenneth's hands accurately.
"Spell. Strengthen Lancer's power! ”
"Spell. Remove rank restrictions from Lancer. ”
"Spell. Lancer, you're going to do whatever it takes to keep them all here! ”
Director Ken, who had received the Holy Grail, was overjoyed, and after three spells in a row, he drove the Moon Spirit Essence to liquefy into a strangely shaped vehicle and carry him out of here in a hurry.
"Don't try to run!" Mo Wen, who had just been summoned by the Spell, raised his long sword and was about to stop it, but suddenly felt a palpitation - the monk turned his head to look and found that Dilumudo had two more long swords at his waist at some point, and at this time he had already put down the red spear and grasped the hilt of one of the swords.
“Mor.alltach!”
With the liberation of his true name, the spearman unsheathed his sword, and a blood-colored fan-shaped shockwave swept through the streets.
……
Mor.alltach, the blade of rage, was a magic sword given to his lover Angus by Manano, the god of the sea who ruled the sea and fairyland in Celtic mythology, and was later given by him to his adopted son Dilumudo, who is said to have killed thousands of warriors with his sword.
Having been freed from the constraints of rank, the 'Radiant Appearance' naturally regained possession of this infinitely powerful Noble Phantasm.
"Whew...... What a powerful sword. After joining forces with Mo Wen to block the violent blow, Xu Ming, who was holding his shoulders, looked around at the swept away buildings: "Thank you for your mercy just now." ”
"......" The gunman did not reply, but silently lowered his head.
If Kenneth hadn't forced him to attack, Dilumudo wouldn't have made that kind of move anyway.
"Don't ask, I have two messages, one good and one bad, which one do you want to hear?" Seeing that the spearman didn't reply, Xu Ming turned his head to look at Mo Wen—the mage who had successfully rescued his wife from that tragic fate didn't seem to be in a hurry.
"Is it okay for the Holy Grail to be snatched away by that guy?"
"Well, the good news is that I sealed the Holy Grail, and those guys couldn't do it for a while if they wanted to, and I used my hind hand to temporarily cut off the connection between that guy and the Master, and although the spell still works, Kenneth can't provide magic power, let alone use the spell to heal or summon." The mage spread his hands: "The bad news is that I just used the forbidden move, and within half a day, I will be a battle scumbag, and although I have sealed the Holy Grail, I don't know how long it will last...... The rest is up to you. ”
"Even so...... It's a tough task. Mo Wen looked at his luck as the other side, sighed, and raised the cloud shadow at the knight with both guns and swords.
Dilumudo gripped the Red Rose tightly.
It's a battle between Lucky E.
……
"That guy was summoned by Sakura......" The little devil pouted: "It seems that something big is going on over there, let's hurry up!" ”
"No opinion, meow......" Bai Qiong frowned her little face: "But people can't fly." ”
"Turn into a cat ......" The little devil patted his chest that had only shown sharp horns, and spread his dark demon wings: "I'll take you fly!" ”
"Okay!" The little white shapeshifter leaped onto Lias's shoulder.
"Let's go!"
"Sister Leah, you're in the wrong direction, and the master's breath is over there......"
“……”
……
Is this the Holy Grail...... It's such a beautiful work of art. The senior lecturer of the clock tower in the gallop carefully studied the small and delicate amphora in his hand. 【Fulfill all wishes...... How should I use it? 】
As he pondered, the piercing sound of gunfire pierced the silent night sky.
"Automatoportumdefensio" (Auto Defense!) )
Director Ken reacted immediately, and the mercury instantly extended, accompanied by a crackling sound and several exclamations from passers-by, and sparks and steel cores scattered all over the ground.
In order to save mana and maintain a certain speed, Kenneth did not launch the exorcism enchantment, but only added misleading magic to himself, but fortunately, he had already approached the Fuyuki Pier all the way south, and it was getting late at this time, and there were few passers-by.
【Master with a gun...... Wrong! It's the rat's men! Kenneth quickly spotted Maiya Kuyu with a machine gun in hand, but instead of returning fire immediately, he vigilantly cast a spell to scan the surroundings.
Because he knew that the professional killer who had terrified countless magicians was absolutely lurking around, ready to deal him a fatal blow when he revealed his flaws.
In fact, it wasn't just Kiritsugu Emiya who was lurking in the shadows—just around the corner not far away, the vicar of the church regretfully put away the black key between his fingers.
[Let's get rid of this annoying woman first! ] The two of them, Kiritsugu Emiya and Kiri Yanmine, succeeded in hiding Kenneth's magic tricks with their extraordinary latent abilities, and the senior lecturer of the Clock Tower, who was in vain, had to point the pier at Kuyu Maiya on the bright side.
A series of translucent ripples rippled by, and the female assistant with the gun instantly collapsed to the ground.
- Although she has completed many assassination attempts with Emiya Kiritsugu, she is still as fragile as a baby and unable to fight back against a 'brilliant' magician like Kenneth.
At the same time, the Magician Killer pulled the trigger.
……
On the other battlefield, the monk's situation was quite bad.
The lucky attributes of the two have been pulled to the same level at this time, and Mo Wen's strings of fate are useless. In terms of treasures, although Cloud Shadow is incomparably sharp and indestructible, it does not have any special abilities as a weapon, but it is Di Lumu who relies on the demon-breaking power of the Red Rose to completely abolish Mo Wen's offensive and defensive Dao skills, forcing him to have to deal with his white blade.
To be honest, although Mo Wen's hand-to-hand combat ability is not a shortcoming, it is still a little worse than a battle-hardened heroic warrior like Dilumudo.
The most important thing is that the monk who had just fought with the Conquest King did not recover his full state, and the combination of various disadvantages finally made Mo Wen fall into an absolute disadvantage in this battle.
【…… One report and one report. Wandering between the blade of the gun and the blade of the sword, Mo Wen couldn't help but smile bitterly. [I've been ridiculing others for being lucky E, but I found out that I couldn't beat others when I was lucky E, it's really ironic......]
[This kind of high-sensitivity enemy, the little devils can't intervene at all, and the ones who can help are still in a state of waste wood...... But I heard that guy say that Dilumudo is not strong enough in magic? So fight a war of attrition? 】
[No! As soon as this thought came up, Mo Wen dispelled it. [Not to mention that the effect of the Red Rose's Treasure Phantasm is a permanent state, and the mana consumption is negligible, so I will lose if I repay this mentality...... If you keep it for a long time, you will lose it! 】
[Then how to win......]
……
“…… Don't ask if the situation is not good. Xu Ming, who was holding his beloved wife, bit his lip.
“…… Master was restrained. The black god stared at the middle of the field tightly, and at this time, Dilumudo had completely suppressed Mo Wen: "If you want to break the game, I have a way...... But the success rate is not high. ”
“…… Tell me about it? ”
"Didn't the magician use the Spell to order that Heroic Spirit to keep us here at all costs?" A cold light flashed in the eyes of the black god: "...... What if we leave now? ”
"It's dangerous...... But give it a try! Xu Ming gritted his teeth and handed his wife in his arms to Sakura: "I'll come!" ”
"No, together!" Moe Xiang interjected: "The three of us are going in different directions! Sakura, you stay here to take care of Mrs. Xu. ”
"Yes." [I, I want to help too......] Looking at the partners who were preparing to act, and recalling the advice that Mo asked her before the battle, the little girl secretly made up her mind.
……
"It's really impeccable swordsmanship...... "After a long time of attacking, the spearman finally stopped: "I have to admit that I can't defeat you just by virtue of martial arts." ”
"Next, I'm going to get serious!" The chief warrior of the Knights of Fiona withdrew his red magic sword, and then slowly drew a pale green dagger.
Beag.alltach, the Judgment of Wrath, is a sword from the divine realm along with the Blade of Fury, and although it is slightly less powerful than the magic sword, it also has magical powers.
[The legend of this sword...... All he knew was that he used the hilt of this dagger to kill the demon pig that killed him. The monk raises the limits of perception. [There is no doubt that this sword is a treasure for small-scale combat with the Yellow Rose, which will be destroyed......]
"So...... Hugh away! The spearman smiled slightly, and suddenly his face changed drastically, and he dropped his spear and grasped the hilt of the magic sword.
【Opportunity!】 The monk accelerated instantly, and the spiritual power of his whole body poured out without reservation.
"There is no catastrophe for the withering glory!"
The endless wood spiritual power turned into a decaying wind of decay and roared towards the spearmen - this move was Mo Wen's full strength, and after the increase of cloud shadows, the power has exceeded that of ordinary A+ grade treasures, not to mention Di Lu Muduo, whose magic resistance is only B, even the knight king who resists magic A will inevitably be hit hard by this blow if he does not use the ideal country far away from the world.
At the last moment, the spearman used his foot to provoke the red rose that broke the demon in front of him, and the red magic spear easily cut through the gray-black storm, but the spearman who passed through the storm felt weak, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.
Even though he had broken the Dao Technique head-on, the wind of decay that had escaped still robbed him of a lot of life.
[Take advantage of his illness and want him to die!! Mo Wen was unforgiving, holding his sword in both hands and slashing at the spearman with all his might.
Bite!
The red magic spear fell to the ground, but before Mo Wen could show a smug smile, the spearman threw the pale green short sword at the monk with his backhand, regardless of his own vital points.
But the monk who knew that this treasure had a greasy nature would naturally not choose to exchange his injuries, and drew his sword and slashed at the flying treasure - in Mo Wen's opinion, no matter how powerful the Slightly Angry Judgment was, it would not be Yun Ying's opponent.
In fact, the result was not much different from what he expected, and even exceeded his expectations, the pale green treasure was simply cut in two at the moment of handover with Cloud Shadow, and then shot at the monk's head and chest, respectively.
It's obvious...... It's a trap.
Mo Wen had even smelled death.
……
The bullet pierced the silent night sky and disappeared silently into the flowing mercury.
With Kenneth's magic skills, the little trick that Emiya Kiritsugu did on the bullet was really not enough to see, but just as Kenneth was dealing with Emiya Kiritsugu's sniping, the priest lurking not far away finally saw a flaw, only to see him silently come behind the magician like a ghost, take out Azoth's sword and stab it fiercely.
It's a pity that although he concealed Kenneth's perception, he touched the self-discipline protection of the Moon Spirit Liquid - because the use of magic power will inevitably be discovered by Kenneth, and the Church's agent uses purely physical power to deliver this blow, and the destructive power is not great, even if most of the Moon Spirit Liquid is concentrated in resisting the sniping of Emiya Kiritsugu, the remaining small part is enough to take this blow.
"Despicable sneak attackers!" Kenneth couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat after perceiving the close Yan Feng Qili, and saw that the substitute of the church took out the black key, and the magician who was at a disadvantage resorted to the last resort.
“Lancer!”
However, the spearman did not respond to his call.
Without the slightest hesitation, the pure magic power weaved through the hilt of the sword, and the bright white blade tore through the mercury shield and stabbed Kenneth's heart.
