Chapter 28: The Crusade (2)
The huge monster, the sea devil, towered over the Sueyuan River, waving its tentacles, dragging its huge body slowly towards the houses on the shore, and the huge commotion woke up the people on the shore, and such a strange thing happened in front of everyone's eyes, of course, it would cause a commotion. Thankfully, due to the dense fog obscuring the view, there were only a few places where the monster could be seen. The panic of the inhabitants is also confined to a specific area.
"I underestimated this guy...... I didn't expect him to summon so many monsters. Saber wrinkled her delicate little face and gritted her teeth as she looked at the huge sea demon in front of her, regretting that she hadn't made a quick move at the time, and that she had asked Caster to summon such a tricky sea devil.
"No, no matter how powerful the Servant is, there is a limit to the 'grid' of the demon it can summon and drive - but if you don't consider the 'drive', there is no such limit." Alice Phil, who had always been calm, also showed a frightened expression at this moment, and her voice began to tremble.
“…… So, that monster is not under the control of Caster? "Saber has a headache to death at the moment, and uncontrolled monsters are the most dangerous.
"I think so." Alice Phil was surprised because of this fear that only a magician could understand, and she trembled and explained to Saber: "The so-called magic refers to the 'magic of magic', but the real 'magic' that can't be understood in such a small concept. The whole body is full of gluttony, devouring the product of this desire and materialization. The act of summoning such a thing itself can no longer be called a 'technique'. ”
"So, who is this monster not trying to challenge?" Saber clenched his fists in anger, thinking of the magician's madness.
"Yes. It's just an invitation to eat. Such a town will be swallowed up by it in a few hours, and there will be nothing left. Alice Phil's affirmative answer made Saber's heart sink to the bottom.
"Hey, Knight King, it's a nice night...... That said, but it doesn't seem like the time to say hello. Suddenly, a familiar voice came into Saber's ears, and Saber turned his head. Holding the reins in his hand, the big man Servant, who was about to land the glittering Kamui chariot in the park square where the two of them were, smiled extremely disrespectfully.
"King of Conquest...... You still don't know what to do, are you just here for fun? Saber looked at Rider vigilantly, and at the same time faintly protected Alice Phil behind him, staring at Rider and questioning.
"Don't do that. There will be a truce tonight. If you leave that big guy alone, I won't be able to fight you with peace of mind. I've called out just now, and Lancer has responded. It should be right away. Seeing such a vigilant Saber, Rider waved his hand to indicate that he was not here to fight her.
“…… What about the other Servants? Saber put away his stance, but kept his eyes firmly on the rider just in case.
"The Assassin has been killed by me. Berserker, I didn't run into it. Archer - I haven't run into each other either, so I'm supposed to be with Berserker now, right? Rider touched his beard and said with a smile on his face.
"What do you mean by Rider, Archer and Berserker together?" Saber asked, confused.
"Hahaha, they ........."
"It's rude to talk about other people's things behind your back, rider." Rider laughed a few times, with a look on his face that you know, and was about to say something when a gentle but exasperated voice interrupted him. I saw Ashmida appear beside everyone in a golden light.
"Hahahaha, little brother, you're here!!" Rider patted Ashmida's shoulder and put his face in front of Ashmida: "How is the little girl of the Hero King, why didn't she come." ”
"I really didn't see you gossiping so much." Ashmida reluctantly turned his face away and turned his head to Saber: "Saber, this time we will stop fighting, if we don't solve this demonic way, we won't be able to let go of our hands and feet to fight." ”
"Yes, I see, I have no objection to fighting with you. The King of Conquest, Berserker, may be a temporary alliance, but let's take an oath together. Saber's face was full of sternness, but there was a hint of appreciation and relief in his eyes.
"Huh...... You were pretty sober when you were fighting...... Well? What, does the Master have any objections? Rider shifted his gaze to Alice Phil, startling Alice Phil.
"I don't mind. I, Einzbelen, promised a truce! Rider Master, what do you think? Alice Fell stiffened for a moment before replying, the pressure of being watched by the rider was not the slightest bit.
“…… Einzbelen, do you have any strategies? Rider just heard about the battle with Caster, isn't it the first time? Hearing Alice Field's call, Webber nodded reluctantly, and then he looked stern and asked Alice Fell about what to do.
In any case, it can only be solved quickly. The monster was still sustained in the present realm by Caster's mana, and if it started foraging for food on its own, it wouldn't be able to cope with it. Caster must be blocked before that. Alice Fell shook her head and said with a solemn expression.
"That guy's, that magic book. The Self-Discipline Summoning Mana Furnace, the "Snail City Textbook" - this unconventional treasure has now become the heart of the Sea Devil along with Caster. Saber then added.
"I see. He must be dealt with before he goes ashore to forage for food. But—" Rider looked at the dark green behemoth with a sad face, "What should I do if Caster is in the center of that pile of meat?" ”
"It's very simple, just blow it up." Ashmida shrugged her shoulders with a relaxed expression.
"I didn't expect that I had just arrived and heard someone make such a bold statement." Suddenly, Lancer appeared beside everyone with a smile on his face, and he looked at Ashmida with some confusion: "Berserker, you mean you can solve this big guy alone?" ”
"Yes, Berserker, are you really okay?" Rider asked with interest as he touched his beard.
"Don't worry, it will be solved soon, but I need some time." Ashmida's expression became solemn, the reason why he was so confident was because of his trump card, which was a new ability that he only discovered after becoming the heroic spirit of the wild goose, but it was the first time he used it, so it took a little time, and the magic consumption was also very large. He turned his head to look around at the crowd: "My defense will be minimized during use, can I leave my back to you with complete confidence." "This is Ashmida misleading their MASTER, giving them the illusion that Ashmida's trump card has a fatal heel and making them take it lightly.
"I'll keep your back firmly guarded, in the name of the knight." Saber held something up as if he were holding a knight's sword, and solemnly swore an oath.
"Little brother, don't worry, I will help you buy time, and I will also protect your back." Rider punched himself in the chest and swore to Ashmida.
"I swear in the name of the knight that I will guard your back." Lancer swore solemnly.
"Well, please help me stall for a while." Ashmida solemnly bowed to everyone, then raised his right hand, stretched out his index finger to point to the sky, slowly, countless golden-red points of light converged from all directions to Ashmida's fingertips, Ashmida slowly said with a solemn expression: ".................."
