Chapter 294: A Battle Between Saber and Rider!
The chase between Saber and Rider continues, and after a tug-of-war back and forth, it finally ......
For Rider, this was definitely an unexpected surprise. He had always proudly used flying treasures in the sky, and he never thought that there would be enemies on his head.
Taking advantage of the gap in the vehicle's slowdown, the maximum acceleration created by the V-MAX's turbocharger, and the use of the slope formed by accident as a springboard, Saber finally found the Rider's hole.
And the position is still the position above the head of the enemy who has an absolute advantage when the white blades intersect, this is really the grace of the goddess of victory to the sword-wielding heroic spirit, this is a chance to win,
"Rider, you should die!"
The Wind King Enchantment, which had the courage to throw everything into the air, was held high - at that time, he hesitated a little and stopped.
Rider held up his sword of love to block it. The swords that collided together were in terms of power, because Saber had an absolute advantage in position, so it stands to reason that she should have a better chance of winning, but the result was evenly divided. The Wind King Enchantment was unable to break through Rider's defenses and was eventually bounced off.
There was no chance for the halberds to intersect again between the falling V-MAX and the driving Kamui wheels. Saber slowed down the speed gained by the instantaneous release of mana, and managed to maintain the balance of the car in mid-air, and the rear wheels hit the ground, absorbing all the impact by the rubber tires and suspension.
The perfect chance to win was lost, but Saber was unsure for something else.
"Ainzbelen isn't here?!"
Absolutely not mistaken. When V-MAX jumped, the only person in front of Rider was the Master except for the Rider.
That being the case. Where did Alice Phil, who was taken from the cellar, go?
Saber pressed the brake brake with all his might, controlling the body of the car, which weighed more than 300 kilograms. The tires slid on the ground, stopping the furious wheels. She kept chasing Rider without any hesitation. But now the suspicion in my chest has emerged.
Where exactly does the Rider target the Mercedes?
Heavy thoughts and doubts rose from Saber's heart.
The truth was still unclear, but Saber had a strong premonition that he had been tricked. This feeling made her restless. While Saber is chasing Rider, the culprit blamed on the King of Conquest may be fleeing with Alice Phil.
Can't stay here anymore. It is necessary to return to the new capital as soon as possible to find Alice Phil.
But—while that judgment was correct, Saber didn't move. The whole body was filled with the tense atmosphere of the mountain rain and the wind filling the building, and all useless movements were not allowed, staring intently at the crisis in front of him. Get ready to give it your all at any time.
At a distance of about 100 meters, it was discovered that Rider's chariot had also stopped. And the direction has also been reversed. Saber had always been brave enough to keep Saber in desperate pursuit, but now he turned around, and the eyes of the two sacred cows and their master, the King of Conquest, were overflowing with the joy of battle, and he looked at Saber with a breathtaking gaze.
There was no need to speculate, his intentions were clear - Rider intended a duel.
There was no trace of intrigue in his eyes, he had indeed been framed, and the eyes of the conquering king were blazing with rage. It's like a demonstration that how you stabbed me, I'm going to do the same thing.
If Rider had been heading east for the purpose of challenging Saber, he would have had no objection to the situation in front of him, unlike Saber, who had been designed into a trap.
Because of this. Now, if you let go of Rider and return to Fuyuki City, it will mean taking a blow from Rider on the back without any preparation.
Only now is the decision to be made immediately - there is no choice. The moment you have to make a choice quickly.
Saber's hand gripping the hilt of his sword creaked.
……
And Rider is ready for everything to fight Saber.
"Glory is on the other side of the world - conquer! Distant World Domination (Distant Ravage)!! ”
The real name that was finally liberated. The chariot of the sacred cow that suddenly burst out with thunder. When Berserker was trampled under the hooves of the cow in the first battle, the majestic scream of the sacred cow was almost incomparable.
"--Wind, come!"
Seeing his opponent rushing over, Saber hurriedly drew his sword under the protection of the wind pressure.
Unravel the whirlwind of the reverse roll. The golden light shone brightly, as if to show the royal way of the knight. The magic is tumbling endlessly.
“AAAALaLaLaLaLaie!!”
With the roar of the king of conquest, he stomped his foot on the asphalt. The hooves of the bull rushing forward desperately. Although overwhelmed by that domineering attitude, Webb still tried his best to keep his eyes open so that he would not faint like last time. In the direction of progress, there is the strongest Castle Treasure that will be released immediately, and in order to seize the opportunity, Rider desperately rushes away, absolutely unwilling to give up the opportunity to defeat Saber.
The conquest king's frontal assault sent a shudder down Saber's spine. Under the galloping of the sacred cow, the distance of 100 meters was instantly reduced to zero. In the blink of an eye, the power of the Kamui Wheel was already on display.
But as long as the hilt of that precious sword is still in his hand, he is absolutely sure of victory. The only thing that could be shouted at the splendor of the raised gold was his real name.
"The Oath—"
The moment when the avatar of Thor was about to step his hooves on Saber's diminutive body-
"Sword of Victory!"
It was like a golden flash of light that radiated countless comets, making the night as bright as day.
The vision is taken away and dazzled. Weber, who couldn't help but turn around, understood a truth through extremely calm thinking in the midst of the fierce impact.
See the light of Saber's Noble Phantasm with your own eyes. That means...... Before the final step of the Kamui Wheel arrived, the Knight King preempted the result of the attack.
But even so. The touch of the thick arm that continued to the shoulder did not disappear anyway.
Understand the fact that your own defeat also means that you are still alive and conscious.
Webb cautiously opened his eyes and saw the horrific scene on the battlefield.
As a result of the blow of the "Sword of Victory of the Oath", the road surface was burned to the ground in an instant, and even the distant trees were blown away in an instant, and the road and extension line were engraved with huge traces of the word "One". When the asphalt reached its melting point, it emitted a foul-smelling smell that was so pungent that Webb's body seemed to float in the universe...... Wrong. It was carried on the shoulders of a strong man. You don't have to ask who the young master is holding like a little luggage.
"Ah...... Failed. ”
Rider whispered as if with remorse in his heart. However, given the current situation, it is too much of an understatement.
It looks like Rider wasn't hurt either. However, the chariot he was riding in, as well as the two sacred cows, had disappeared. The Noble Phantasm "Kamui Wheel" has completely absorbed the power of the "Sword of Victory of the Oath", so not even a single dust is left.
At the brink of death, Rider, who knew that he had failed, quickly carried Webb from his throne and escaped from the attack on the castle treasure at the last moment. The two of them can really be said to be nine deaths, but the price is big enough. The Flying Chariot, which the Rider had relied on as the main weapon, was destroyed at the last moment.
But. It didn't end - Weber immediately used the will to fight to drive away the frustration of defeat. Even if the "Wheel of Divine Might" is taken away, the King of Conquest still has a real trump card.
“Rider! Use the 'King's Army'—"
Rider shook his head softly, but firmly, at Webber as he said this. At the time of the break, about the foresight of the second half of the war. The King of Conquest doesn't seem to be intent on overthrowing yet. With Saber as an opponent, at best, use a tank. The Call of the Guard, which can only be activated once, must be saved until the final showdown with Archer.
However, no matter how strong Rider is, he will not admit defeat. Engage in white-knuckle combat in which you lose your mobile power. It's clear that Saber has an absolute advantage. Although the two are very different in physique, this is a war between Servants who are beyond common sense. Saber looked weak and skinny, though. However, she has the ability to fight like a monster, and Webb has been fully aware of it through the battles so far.
Apparently Rider is well aware of her strengths. But the conqueror still did not show any fear. He confronted Saber with his sword in his hand, and he didn't show any signs of backing down.
In this desperate match, it was Saber who lost first.
She put the wind-wrapped sword into its scabbard. Then let go of the throttle valve and slide the rear wheel to reverse the direction of the car, and speed away with your back to the Rider.
Instead of selling the flaw to Rider, Saber accelerated again as he slid the rear wheel, leaving behind a huge exhaust roar and sped towards the streets of Fuyuki City.
Of course, it was a surprise to Webb, Saber had to hurry to find Alice Phil now, and there was no time to fight Rider. She must find the culprit who led her to fight Rider and then reclaim Alice Phil from that man's hands, and for this purpose, she must retreat as quickly as possible, even if the duel with Rider is put aside.
……
The result of Emiya Kiritsugu spending several hours breaking through the protective barrier of the Maki family turned out to be in vain, which really made him grit his teeth and express remorse.
Even if I know that my wife has a "talisman", but without actual verification, I always can't help but worry.
And, crucially, it's important to figure out who is calculating yourself.
For this reason, he hit the Maki family, and then met Maki Tsuruno, who anesthetized himself with alcohol and was completely decadent, and immediately determined from this person's performance that this matter had nothing to do with the Maki family.
Then, there is the Tosaka family.
In order to enter the next target, the Tosaka Mansion, Kiritsugu spent less than three hours breaking through the magic defense array.
With a vigilant mentality, Kiritsugu who entered the Tosaka family found something unexpected.
Upon stepping into a dark room, Kiritsugu's sense of smell smelled something that couldn't be ignored.
The smell of blood. Not a long time has passed. There is no doubt about that.
Focus your magic on your eyes and use night vision. You can immediately see the interior design clearly. It looks like a living room. The tea set on the table is also a two-person set.
A large amount of blood was evident in the center of the luxurious carpet.
Empirically, it can only be thought of as a bloodstain left by someone who has been stabbed.
When I arrived at the basement workshop without much difficulty, my premonition turned into conviction. Needless to say, if you are at home, even if you are not at home, the magician will not allow others to step into his workshop at will. It seems that Shi Chen is not only not at home, but is also in a state where he can't even grasp the existing condition of his own house.
Through blood tests conducted everywhere, it was confirmed that Tosaka was either dead or missing.
Plus, there were no signs of a fight in the room. The two teacups placed here indicate that it was for the sake of entertaining guests. Shi Chen must have been seriously injured or fatally injured after talking freely with the person he was entertaining as a guest in this room. It seems that revenge on magicians is not the exclusive domain of Kiritsu alone.
But what was the Servant doing at that time? How can you sit back and let your master do nothing?
All this vaguely points to one possibility: Shi Chen, as a Master, has lost its use value for Archer. Archer conspired with the next contractor to kill Shichen......
Archer's new Master has now regained the Spell - that is, someone who has lost the power of the Servant in the past, and is still alive.
Don't think about it, there's only one person. And if you get a new Senvant and participate in the Holy Grail War again, it is a matter of course to kidnap Alice Phil and take control of the "Holy Grail Weapon" in your own hands.
Just like that, Kiritsugu finally understood that a showdown with Kinmine was inevitable. (To be continued......)
