Chapter 233: Kenneth Strikes!
Lancer looked at Saber with a complicated gaze and said, "Listen? I hurt your left hand. Uncle Ben alone has the right to take advantage of the disadvantage of your one-handed hand. So, you can only be defeated by me. Before, your fight with Caster was so ugly that it was simply unforgivable. The delusional idea of leaving aside my own Dilumudo and defeating the 'one-handed Saber' will never be allowed! Rather than popping up some other heroic spirit to defeat you like this, I should finish you off here......"
Saber smiled and nodded, "It's like a real knight as I know...... However, I am not easy to defeat. Especially - in the event that you lose the Noble Phantasm. ”
Lancer laughed and said, "What if you don't have a Noble Phantasm? Look at my pair of guns......"
With that, Lancer held up his brand new weapon to Saber and introduced, "This is a magic dress that my Master specially contacted the clock tower and urgently transported from there. This pair of guns is far inferior to my Noble Phantasm, but it is enough to defeat you. ”
Lancer also holds a pair of twin guns, but in terms of style, it is completely different from his Noble Phantasm, which is a pair of black guns. Luckily, they weren't all spears, and it seems that two guns, one long and one short, were deliberately chosen according to Lancer's situation, otherwise they would not be suitable for Lancer.
Of course, it seems that the same guns are black, but in fact the two guns are not the same set at all, but two separate guns.
For Kenneth. It is not easy to find out such a pair of guns through the relationship of the clock tower.
Every magician has their own needs for magic dresses, and magicians who use guns are quite rare. If it weren't for the clock tower, the heritage is really deep. It doesn't really have to meet Lancer's requirements.
Being able to deliver things to Kenneth so quickly also shows that the Clock Tower, that is, the Magicians Association, is actually quite interested in this Holy Grail War.
Kenneth also needs to prove that Lancer is still strong even if he loses his Noble Phantasm, otherwise Lancer will be the easiest target to target if he excludes the injured Saber.
Only by showing great strength can other magicians and heroic spirits be suspicious. The Kenneth and Lancer duo will be able to go even further.
Therefore, the battle between Lancer and Saber can be said to have to be carried out.
……
Kenneth. Al Meloy. It was a fluke that Achipolud caught Emiya Kiritsugu in Fuyuki City.
The man seemed completely flustered. I didn't even know if I found out.
How could Kenneth not know that it was Emiya Kiritsugu who attacked him before.
Kenneth is also very scruples about this magician killer.
He watched as Emiya Kiritsugu's car drove right towards the mountains far from the city. Kenneth snickered at the chance of revenge, but began to hesitate when he realized that his destination was the Forest of Einsberen.
During the investigation, I had already heard about the territory of Einzbelen near Fuyuki. Since it is the territory of magicians. Then there is a corresponding enchantment. It is difficult for others to be the place where advantageous battles are fought. Having said that, Caster, who had made a special expedition to this place before, put aside the reason for the first time - the intention to challenge the forces of Einzberen was obvious. In that case, there might be an opportunity for the battle. Coupled with the reason of revenge on Kiritsugu Emiya, Kenneth made up his mind and stepped into the forest with Lancer.
The only thing that surprised him was that the battle between Caster and Saber ended too quickly, and Kenneth's plan could not be fully achieved.
But. Even after the fight, Saber is still outside, and even if Emiya Kiritsugu returns, it has not changed. And Saber's Master still hasn't appeared. Probably judging that since it is in its own territory. Even if you don't stay with Servant, you can stay alone. So I decided to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight in the rear stronghold.
So Kenneth decided on his course.
Give Lancer an order to attack Saber.
For Kenneth, who had already consumed a Command Spell and Lancer had lost his Noble Phantasm, the current situation couldn't have been worse.
If he can snatch the extra spell through Saber's master's hand, he will be able to regain some advantages.
It even makes more sense than taking out Saber!
Of course, this was directly hidden by Kenneth and did not tell Lancer the truth.
For Kenneth, Lancer is nothing more than a tool for him to get higher honors, especially Lancer's attraction to women, which fascinates Kenneth's fiancée and makes Kenneth disgusted.
In addition, Lancer had to waste a spell because of his disobedience before, which made him even more resentful.
Such a violation of Lancer's principles naturally cannot be known to this heroic spirit.
Kenneth decided to leave Saber in the hands of Lancer and infiltrate the city of Ainsbelen on his own. If you want to monopolize Saber's head, you don't even need Lancer's victory, just eliminate Saber's Master.
In Kenneth's opinion, even if he faces Saber's Master Alice Phil and her helper Emiya Kiritsugu at the same time, he may not be without opportunities as a brilliant magician.
Enomiya Kiritsugu, who had just rushed back, had obviously undergone a certain amount of consumption, which was a fact that Kenneth had secretly seen in person.
The only trouble is the magic trap in the castle of Einzberen, but Kenneth is not without hole cards, so ......
Despite the bold challenge, Kenneth was unwavering in his self-confidence. No matter what precautions Einzbelen did, he bet on Rhodes. The name of Elumerois shatters its consciousness. I want to make up for the shortcomings that I was accused of by Sora last night. You can't do without showing this level of courage. For Kenneth, getting his fiancée to withdraw his insult to himself is his most important issue right now.
Kenneth tumbled with a boiling fighting spirit as he made his way into the depths of the forest. Although the Forest of Enchantments was cast with illusions. However, Kenneth's rare knowledge and intuition allowed him to make precise guesses and simply locate the center of the enchantment. The prestige of the séance department is one of the best.
"If Einzbelen's magic is only to this extent, it will be clear how the city is guarded."
Kenneth had the poise to snicker. Although many of the magic guides brought from England were lost due to the collapse of the hotel, the "ceremonial dress" as the strongest trump card was always carried with him. So he doesn't feel that his combat power is insufficient.
The trees that obscured the view suddenly disappeared, and the antique stone city appeared before Kenneth's eyes. I see, he is worthy of being a famous magician of the North. As far as the relocated castle is concerned, it is a scale that is out of the ordinary. However, Kenneth is also the son-in-law of the famous Aqipolud. Even if his majesty could overwhelm others, he only sneered at it.
"It's not bad. After cleaning up Einsbelen, it would be good to take this city as a new stronghold......"
Kenneth, who lost his suite at the Hyatt Regency, now uses the abandoned factory in the suburbs as a temporary secret base. Hide Sora there. Of course, the fiancée's mood was extremely bad. After all, Kenneth's self-esteem could not tolerate the environment.
If this is the case, the damage to the building should be kept to a minimum.
Kenneth smiled and placed the ceramic vase he was holding under his arm on the ground. One left his hands. The bottom of the bottle sank heavily into the ground. This bottle is carried by a weight-saving technique. The actual weight is close to one hundred and forty kilograms......
“Fervor。 meisanguis。 (Boil, my blood)
As soon as he chanted the spell cast by the magic, the contents of the bottle spilled slimy from the mouth of the bottle. The liquid that radiated a mirror-like metallic sheen was a large amount of mercury. The mercury, which has a capacity of about 10 liters, flows out of the bottle like a self-disciplined protist, vibrating and forming a spherical shape.
It was the "Moon Spirit Fluid" that Rhodes' Elomeroy was proud of—the strongest of the many dresses he had.
"Automatoportumdefensio (self-regulatory defense); AutonlatóporIunlquaerere (automatic enemy claim); Dilectusincursio (automated attack). ”
With Kenneth's whispered chant. The lump of mercury rustled and shook on the surface as if in response, and followed him at his feet as he approached the castle gates.
Kenneth has the dual attributes of "water" and "wind", which are rare even for magicians. He is very good at the technique of "fluid manipulation", which is common to both of them. The result is a unique battle outfit that allows him to use mercury filled with magic as a weapon and manipulate it at will.
There is no mercury of a certain shape. It can also be molded into any shape -
“Scalp!” (Chop)
At Kenneth's drink, part of the mercury ball suddenly turned into a long, thin ribbon that extended upward. Then, the ribbon of mercury slammed like a whip towards the gate.
Just as it was about to hit it, the whip of mercury suddenly compressed into a thin plate with a thickness of only a few microns, becoming a blade as sharp as a razor. As a result, under the sharp blade of mercury, the heavy latch was cut in half like sliced tofu, and the door fell inward with a heavy sound.
Mercury is a very heavy liquid substance at room temperature, and when it moves at high speed under high pressure, it has powerful movement energy. In addition, mercury can be freely transformed into various shapes such as whips, guns, and knives. Its sharpness can even surpass that of a laser ray.
Maybe it's with the confidence that you will succeed, because in Rhodes. In front of Elumeroi's Moon Spirit Liquid, no matter how strong the defense was, it was useless. Whether it's titanium alloy or diamond, nothing is cut.
After clearing the obstacle in front of him, Kenneth walked leisurely towards the halls of the city. The crystal chandeliers in the hall shine brightly, and there is not a single blemish on the very smooth polished marble floor. The air was also eerily quiet, with only Kenneth alone in it—of course, no one came out to greet him.
"The ninth-generation heir of the Aqipolud family, Kenneth . El Meloy see! ”
The majestic Kenneth proclaimed loudly in the deserted hall.
"O magician of Einsbellen! For the sake of the Holy Grail you seek, stake your life and honor and come out to meet me! ”
Although Kenneth made a provocative declaration, no one responded. It was as if he wasn't looking forward to a duel with Kenneth. Kenneth sighed contemptuously and walked towards the center of the hall with heavy steps.
Just as Kenneth reached the center of the hall, the four vases placed in the four corners of the hall burst open with a loud roar. But what flew out of the explosion was not shards of porcelain, but countless metal beads. These metal beads flew like bullets towards Kenneth.
The trap was not set up by magic at all, and Kenneth was unaware of any magic activation. Well, this must be the mechanism set up in the vase by Emiya Kiritsugu. THIS IS A MAN-IN-PERSON MINE KNOWN AS CLAYMORE, A BRUTAL SETTING BOMB. Each bomb explodes at the same time as it releases more than 700 steel balls with a diameter of about one or two millimeters. All of these balls are fired in a fan-shaped pattern, and it is said that this is a terrifying weapon invented to destroy the infantry group in one blow. At the time of its explosion, everything present will not even have time to escape, and the targets in the center will only be beaten into a sieve.
――Of course, this is when the target is not a magician.
The moment the two thousand eight hundred steel balls shot at Kenneth's side, the place where he was standing was encased in a silver semicircle. The block of mercury that had been entrenched at his feet turned into a semicircle in an instant.
Kenneth is surrounded by a watertight film of mercury, which is less than a millimeter thick, but with the power of magic, the tension of the film can reach the strength of a steel plate. THE RAIN OF BULLETS FROM THE CLAYMORE MINES DIDN'T HIT KENNETH EVEN A SINGLE SHOT, BUT ALL OF THEM BOUNCED BACK INTO THE HALL, LEAVING ONLY ONE OF THE CITY'S FACILITIES TO PIECES.
This is the "Auto-Defense" mode of the Moon Spirit Liquid. This pre-programmed magic will automatically react when Kenneth is threatened, instantly opening up a powerful defensive membrane. That kind of reaction speed can be defended against even bullets. When the Hyatt Regency collapsed, Kenneth and Sola were protected by the same defense system created by the Lunar Essence Fluid. Mercury can be used as a complete weapon for both offense and defense, and can be used as both Kenneth's sword and Kenneth's armor. (To be continued......)
