Chapter 213: Assassin Appears
(Ticket!) I want a ticket! Recommended Ticket! Free Referral Ticket! Ah yes, to answer a book friend's question, about the True Ancestor, in fact, the True Ancestor is not only a general term for the race, but also an honorific title for the powerful bloodsucking species, in other words, as long as it is a powerful lifeform with bloodsucking performance, it may be listed as the twenty-seven ancestors. The big white dog follows the owner to suck blood, so it is listed as the true ancestor, and it is true that Hei Ji is a mixed race, but the words of the true ancestor, to be honest, do not distinguish all strange mushrooms so obviously. )
The feeling of being woken up by someone in a deep sleep is unpleasant, and Shinji Makiri has a direct understanding of this truth. But he muttered at most, "Really, I didn't come sooner" and followed Karna out of the gas station. He looked left and right on the side of the highway, but apart from the sound of insects at night, he didn't even hear the shadow of a vehicle, or even the sound of an engine.
"Hey! Lancer, did you misunderstand my words? At this moment, Shinji Maki was even more upset, and turned to glare at Karna.
"Didn't I tell you that people would wake me up when they came? What about people? ”
Without saying a word, Karna's expression was as calm as water, and he raised his hand to the end of the highway.
Shinji Maki was slightly stunned, his brows furrowed in dissatisfaction, and he looked in the direction he pointed, only to see a hazy light appearing in the corner that disappeared at the end of the field of vision, which was the headlights.
Soon, the car stopped in front of them, and the windows slowly rolled down.
"Yo, you're the owner of the goods."
The lion said hello, and although it was a smile full of kindness, the scar on his face, his beast-like gaze, his muscular physique, and his black jacket sewn from the skin of a monster. In addition, because he galloped on the battlefield as a free man who ate bounty rice, his whole body was filled with the thick smell of blood and gunpowder.
Shinji Maki subconsciously took a step back. As if sensing his gaffe, he said with an unnatural expression: "Are you the client sent by the Magic Association?" It's slow. ”
"Ah, you can't blame me for this, the main thing is that the enchantment is a little troublesome, but anyway, it's delivered to the door, so there's nothing to worry about, right?"
Hearing the other party's clever defense, Shinji snorted coldly and did not continue to speak.
The lion grinned, looked around, and proposed:
"Let's get in the car first. It is said that this place is quite far from the city. It is definitely not convenient for you alone and Mr. Servant over there to handle this shipment, so let me give you a ride. ”
"The people in the association also surprisingly have a good talking side."
"Hahaha, make no mistake. I'm a mercenary commissioned by the Clock Tower, and they can't afford to waste their good manpower on such a dangerous task. Maybe there's still a chance of a splash. I'm already used to this kind of work anyway. ”
After all. Necromancy is magic that develops with corpses. The magic of bringing back a simple corpse (zombie) or a monster born from it necessarily requires a large number of corpses.
Where can I get a lot of corpses? It's not a cemetery, it's not a morgue, it's a battlefield. As a result, the top necromancers chose to go to the battlefield instead of going to the graveyard. Mass murder in the event of a revolution or a coup d'état. They will be ecstatic to collect dead bodies, which can be said to be the fate of necromancers.
Since ancient times, wars have never stopped. Necromancers have always lived with danger. Magicians will even conduct experiments that endanger their own lives. Sometimes they have to fight summoned creatures because they go berserk. However, not many magicians are willing to join the unreasonable battlefield.
Lion Robbery - The Lion Robbery family, born in the extreme east where magic is not flourishing. The incense has been passed down for seven generations. The sixth-generation Lion Robbery Lamp Gui's paper was highly regarded by the clock tower, and its sub-Jieli was also taken for granted to follow the path of a clock tower researcher. However, he took a leave of absence from the clock tower after less than three years of study.
Later, it is said that he collected corpses on the battlefield and defeated lost heretical magicians, embarking on a path to make a living from bounties.
Although his motives are unknown, his personality and the magic he uses seem to be a perfect fit for the bounty hunter profession. In another ten years, the name of the Lion Raider will resound among the magicians lurking underground.
But that doesn't mean he has no connection to the clock tower. I'm afraid that next time, they will hire lions with high remuneration or other things.
"It's all right. I don't want to stay in this desolate place forever. ”
Shinji said with a look of disgust. I couldn't help but look around, the night ruled by shadows, the gas station stood alone, surrounded by only the dark forest and the creepy chirping of insects, if it wasn't for Lancer by his side, he would have gone back early. It's just a big deal to be reprimanded, and the responsibility is not his.
However, at this very moment.
It is as if a miserable picture is painted in the dark night, and a strange and cold atmosphere that penetrates people's hearts spreads. Even though the headlights can't illuminate the surroundings in a dimly lit environment where you can't see your fingers, the lion robber, who is a magician, can still catch subtle movements.
In fact, someone is even faster than him.
I saw a flash of white light piercing through my right hand, and it was a gun of astonishing length, and its gorgeous and exquisite appearance could not help but remind people of a god-made weapon.
Needless to say, Karna stood with his spear in his hand, like a sleeping lion suddenly opening its eyes, and the magic emanating from the inside of his body easily resisted the strange aura around him.
"Does this smell ghoul?" The smile on the corner of the lion's mouth was slightly unnatural.
When it comes to 'material magic associated with death', he's an expert. As for the slightly rancid smell in the air, if he couldn't recognize it, he would smash the sign.
However, the 'smell' he was referring to was not the stench of ordinary rotting corpses, but a unique kind of magic.
"But this number is too exaggerated, isn't it twenty-five on the left, fifteen on the right, and seventeen on the right, and tsk in the front? How many people died here. Even if it's [Kurohime], it's too abnormal to make such a big move. "The lion robber uses his sense of smell and perception. He could only vaguely judge the approximate number of ghouls around, and when the number exceeded two hundred, he finally couldn't help but curse.
“Lancer!”
Shinji Maki didn't even have time to be angry, and turned his head to give orders to Karna.
"Clean up all the garbage."
"Wait! Don't be impulsive. ”
The lion robber hurriedly stopped him.
"With such a huge number, I don't bother to think about how many people died. In short, you can't completely do it by relying on the Servant alone, and after killing a batch and a batch, the endless number will only drain your magic power. ”
"Okay."
Hearing that the magic power of the meeting was exhausted, Shinji Maki could only endure it, he knew very well that his current magic power was not enough to support Karna to kill all sides. If a Heroic Spirit loses its mana supply, it is not the case with the exception of a Heroic Spirit that is 'acting alone'. I'm afraid the other Immortals won't be able to roll back to Valhalla in less than a day.
Karna is strong. There is hardly anyone stronger than him in this Holy Grail War, but his mana consumption is terrifying. If it weren't for Ling Yi's transformation, Yan Feng Qili would have squeezed his potential as much as possible and improved his physical fitness. Shinji Maki has passed out.
"That being the case. Lancer opens the way right in front of you. ”
Shinji Maki thought very well. With Karna's strength, it is easy to deal with those ghouls that stand in the way, and the mana consumption can be greatly reduced.
And yet—
"I'd love to say 'yes,' but Master, it's better to think about it again."
"Are you questioning my orders?!"
"Boy, look ahead."
Compared to Shinji Makiri, the face of the lion robbery can be said to be gloomy and dripping.
"We're in trouble."
Huh? Shinji Maki followed their gaze. Out of nowhere, a torrent of magic blew in, something no one expected. The shadow silently appeared on the horizon, wrapped in magic that was more cloudy than night, as dark as darkness, as black as hell. It burned like a flame. It clenched a blood-red spear in its right hand, without so many carved marks, and looked like an enlarged version of an arrow.
"Berserker is actually at this time."
Although it was a little far away, Shinji Maki recognized the other party's identity at a glance. This is the power of the lord at work.
He's still a master after all.
It's just that I met two servants who are not bound by the rules, but have one who is even favored by the rules.
As far as he knew, Berserker, Saber, and Assassin were all servants who did not belong to their side, in other words, they were Servants of Eltruki.
If Berserker is here, doesn't that mean that-
"The plan has revealed what went wrong, and it is impossible for Berserker, who has lost his mind, to act alone, so it must be Erte Luqi's order."
Shinji Maki stood in place, his mind a mess.
Even though he has the strongest Servant, he doesn't have the confidence to deal with the pet of Alt Luki, who the teacher said that 'at least three Servants can compete head-on'.
If you include the combat power of Elt Luqi and the remaining two servants, Lancer alone will only die in battle.
What to do? That's right, ask for support.
But whether it can catch up is a question.
"Don't be stunned, boy."
Suddenly, a voice broke his almost frozen thoughts.
It's the uncle who looks vicious, and is even more dangerous than the ruffian hooligans who are running around in the new capital.
"Take a look around."
Hearing this, Shinji Maki subconsciously looked around.
Waves of ghouls appeared on the side of the highway at some point, and they had unimaginable madness at night, and the psychological pressure on ordinary people from the distorted alien posture was undoubted.
Even a soldier with excellent psychological quality may have a psychological breakdown in the face of this ghoul who keeps crawling out of the roadside all over the mountains.
"If you continue like this, you're going to be doomed, if you don't want to die, just calm down and think about what to do."
As he spoke, he closed the car door with a bang, holding it in his hand if he was not mistaken. It should be one of the modern technological products called 'firearms'.
It was a horizontal two-way cut shotgun with no manufacturer's signature. The butt and body of the gun are shortened for easy carry-on and indoor use. But the effective firing range is extremely short.
However, for the necromancer Lion, there is no connection between the use of the gun as a weapon and the original performance of the gun.
"Come, devour."
Against the ghoul, Lion Raid pulled the trigger at random. He hadn't intended to aim in the first place. The important thing is to hold the gun in your own hands. The gun he was holding had a spell on the firing pins and other parts. But the key is not so much the gun as the bullet.
See the ammunition he's loaded. Whoever you are is going to shudder. A bullet machined from a human finger. It's not a matter of bad taste anymore.
In the Norse rune magic, there is a magic technique known as the Yin Qi (qi) bullet. It is said that this magic trick can be used to curse the other person just by pointing his finger at him. If you weave it with strong magic, you can use a physical attack like a bullet. This finger bullet is combined with necromancy. At best, the speed can only reach the speed of sound. But. Like a snake, it senses the body temperature in the direction it is heading and corrects its trajectory.
(I suddenly wanted to complain about the setting of mushrooms, and when it comes to runes, there are only two of the most famous.) Norse Rune and Ancient Ireland or Ogan, in addition to Rune is another translation of Lune, as the demigod hero of Ireland, the big dog let Ougan not learn, and ran to learn Norse Lune. Also, the Yin Qi (qi) bullet is said to be from the Nordic rune, but one of the eight elements of the rune 'all rune spells are only limited to [carving] to cause effect' spit on the mushroom's brain hole, I'm also drunk)
Then, the bullet that enters the body will break the curse when it reaches the heart. It's a one-hit magic bullet.
The bullets unleashed depicted soft curves, and in the blink of an eye, several ghouls were killed. After two rounds, reload immediately. As if aiming at this good opportunity, the ghouls invaded in a big way. The Lion Raid stopped his reloading operation for the time being, and pulled out a strange object from his arms. It was a somewhat shriveled red-black ———— magician's heart.
The Lion Raider threw the object in his hand towards the ghoul crowd. With a click, the heart fell beside them. The next moment, the thing swelled and burst rapidly. The magician's teeth and nails are embedded deep in the ghoul's body. They struggled as if they had drunk poison, and they died immediately.
Although there are many necromancers, the only combat type that can process the bodies of magicians and beasts so dangerously is Lion Tribulation.
Although the ghouls maintain a certain combat effectiveness, it is just a piece of cake in the eyes of the magician lion robbery who eats the bounty meal.
Of course, only on the premise that the quantity is average.
Seeing the Lion Tribulation fearlessly attacking, Shinji Maki also felt that he couldn't go on like this.
"Lancer, that guy is over to you."
While giving orders to Karna, he moved his neck and warmed up at the end of his life.
"I'm not going to force you to 'kill that guy in a few minutes,' but I hope you'll help me get the teacher's task done before I run out of magic and fall. In any case, the goods must not be damaged in the slightest. ”
Otherwise, even if you die here, there is no point.
The lion glanced at him, and a light-hearted smile appeared.
"That's the way it is."
Karna bowed silently, his face was as calm as water, and his grip on the spear increased a point.
Instantly entered the state of spiritualization.
It is more useful to deal with such an irrational enemy than to attack head-on, or to launch a surprise attack in a stealthy state.
"Well, let's get started, too."
"Boy."
"Don't scream boy, although you are older than me, I am also a magician."
"It's obviously a half-ass, so don't be prestigious. Do you think I can't see it? ”
"What!? OKOK, isn't it half-baked for you to see. ”
Shinji Maki didn't get angry but laughed.
"Well, there are enemies in all directions, I can't take care of that many on my own, we have to not only survive but also ensure the safety of the goods before your servant can get rid of the other party, how about it? Feeling the pressure? ”
The lion tribulation suddenly said with a smile.
"Hey, it's alright."
Shinji Maki clenched his fists, having said that, there must be tension, but only by turning all the emotions that affect the state into battle spirit can it be possible to overcome everything - so is what the teacher said.
No matter what kind of enemy you face, if you lose your fighting spirit first, no matter whether you have an advantage or a disadvantage, any tactics are empty talk.
But you can't waste too much magic right now, so that's the only way to go.
Although it hurts a little bit -
Shinji Maki took out something wrapped in cloth from his pants pocket, and when he opened it, he saw that it was a silver knife.
This is one of Ling Yi's achievements, and it is named - Combat Use. The Sword of Holy Farewell.
This knife is engraved with a technique that specializes in dealing with combat situations where magic is insufficient.
But, how to say it.
This is a disposable, and when it is used up, the silver knife used as a carrier will be completely crumbled.
"I, speak, arouse. (IDOINVOCATEANDCONJURETHEE)”
With the sound of this incantation, the silver knife suddenly underwent an unimaginable change, and from the outside, it looked like it had changed into a cross sword.
The handguard, the hilt, and the blade are not so much a perfect combination as a trinity.
Shinji Maki waved it a few times, and it felt good, as if it was tailor-made.
No longer hesitating at the moment, relying on his outstanding physical fitness, he launched an attack on the ghoul who climbed the highway on the other side.
Although he is better at archery, he doesn't know anything about kendo. But in the end, the sword he held in his hand was not on the same as a Japanese sword, but like a Western sword. Therefore, he didn't bother to pay attention to those, and with the combat awareness cultivated during this time, he couldn't suffer a loss by slashing indiscriminately.
The Lion Tribulation seemed to be at ease with Shinji Makiri, ignoring the situation on his side and concentrating on blasting away the tireless ghouls with his shotgun.
But then again, isn't it possible that after being in a high position for a long time, it is easy to treat the enemy lightly? Only one servant is sent over, even if a large number of ghouls are added, it will not be able to annihilate the enemy for a while, and it is easy to go wrong.
If the goal is 'total annihilation', then it is prudent to send at least one more servant to play a decisive role.
But in the end, there is only this kind of - Alt Luqi's move is inevitably somewhat
As he was thinking so, he suddenly noticed movement behind him, and he couldn't help but look back.
I saw a figure appear on the roof of the car, whether it was strange clothing or that illusory sense of existence, all pointing to one answer - the servant. (To be continued......)
