Chapter Twenty-Nine: Gambling
High in the sky in the unknown land, Artoria, who was anxiously waiting for Mordred, saw the crimson glow that pierced the night sky.
"It's Mordred!"
She immediately took out her holy sword, Culiber, and released the golden light of the star.
Mordred, who was looking for Artoria, also saw the starlight, which was incomparably conspicuous.
"Found it!"
Mordred stepped up and flew over with Clarant's squirt magic.
As she watched the crimson light get closer and closer, Artoria couldn't help but smile.
But a black and red light also appeared in her sight.
"That's it!"
Artoria's eyes widened, and she hurriedly shouted at Mordred, "Mordred! Behind! You're behind! ”
"Huh? What is she shouting? ”
High in the wind, Mordred couldn't make out what Artoria was saying.
However, the light of the stars illuminated Artoria's face.
From her face, Mordred saw the anxiety.
Anxious? Could it be ......
Mordred jerked his head back and saw the black meteor that should have been slain by himself.
Can this guy be resurrected? Or is it just a matter of splitting the body in two that is not fatal?
But either way, it's quite a headache.
After confirming that the mana reaction was the same as before, Mordred turned around and condensed the mana into his voice.
"Father! King! You go first! This guy! I'll fix it! ”
Hearing Mordred's words, the worry on Artoria's face grew even heavier.
"Trust me!"
Mordred looked at Artoria steadfastly.
Their eyes met in the sky.
This glance seemed to have passed a long time, and it seemed that only a moment had passed.
Finally, Artoria nodded heavily and pulled the tab of her parachute pack.
Seeing the parachute open, Mordred couldn't help but smile.
But the next moment, Mordred withdrew this smile and quickly observed the situation behind him with his peripheral vision.
Mordred then stopped the mana jet.
At the same time as the propulsion disappeared, Mordred quickly turned to face the black meteor, and at the same time turned the direction of the sword in his hand.
After a brief disappearance of crimson magical light, it sped in the opposite direction with an even more intense light.
In the sky, Mordred turned into a red meteor, and its posture rushed towards the black meteor with unprecedented speed.
"Give it to me! Die!!! ”
Two meteors, flying towards each other at a speed that is difficult to observe with the naked eye, and then ......
Crashing together mercilessly.
Rumble!!!!!
The vast amount of magic gathered in a tiny point exploded after a momentary stalemate.
The brilliance of its bloom is like a blazing sun in the night sky.
The sun-like brilliance quickly dissipated after a brief manifestation.
Then two figures, one black and one red, fell from it, like fragments scattered after a meteor had shattered.
The icy night wind whipped through Mordred's air-exposed skin like a knife.
Mordred, who had lost her mind for a short time in the collision just now, gradually recovered herself with the help of the night wind.
Pat yourself on the face to make your brain a little clearer.
Mordred re-ejects mana with his sword, slowing down his fall while adjusting his body stance.
While Mordred was still adjusting, the black meteor had already adjusted itself and was killing again.
"So fast!"
Mordred visually measured the distance between himself and the other party, and it was too late to dodge, attack, or defend.
What to do!? What to do!?
In this life-and-death crisis, Mordred's brain began to think faster than ever.
With only ten meters left, Mordred made the decision.
I saw her aim the tip of her sword at the sky, and spray magic upwards to accelerate her fall!
Under the dual effect of gravity and propulsion, Mordred's falling speed skyrocketed.
With the help of this displacement, Mordred dodged the black meteor's charge, and by the way, let the magic sprayed out bewitch the other party's face.
After dodging the attack, Mordred quickly turned around, adjusted his form, slowed down his fall, and prepared for the next attack.
After being slapped with magic by Mordred, the black meteor also turned around and rushed towards Mordred again.
Looking up at the meteor that struck again, Mordred took a deep breath and forcibly resisted the urge to fight the other party
She knew very well that she was at an absolute disadvantage in the air, and she was able to split the other party before, but she was purely caught off guard, and now that the other party was on guard, it was almost impossible to try again.
So you have to get down to the ground as soon as possible.
Mordred's eyes were fixed on the rushing meteor, and a very bold plan gradually came to mind.
If this plan can be successful, it should be a win.
The meteor struck, and the pitch-black sword slashed down, and Mordred raised his sword in front of him.
When!
Mordred's falling speed, which had slowed down a bit, increased again, this time with a black meteor pressing her down.
"Hmm!!"
Gritting his teeth, a huge force came from the sword, and a tearing wind pressure came from behind him.
One after the other, Mordred endured it all in silence.
The armor on her body had shattered from the previous impact, and now she had no protection on her body.
The strong wind pressure continued to wash over Mordred's back, and even blood flowed from the skin, but it was quickly blown away by the strong wind.
They are falling faster and faster.
One-third the speed of sound, two-thirds of the speed of sound, one time the speed of sound, one point five times the speed of sound, twice the speed of sound......
I don't know when the wind can no longer be heard, and the only thing left in front of me is this black sword.
Mordred didn't look back at the scenery behind her, because she was afraid that the other party would be suspicious.
All she didn't know how long she was left before she landed.
At this time, it was a big gamble, Mordred planned to get out of the opponent's attack atmosphere at the moment before he landed, and at the same time slightly slow down himself and fall behind the opponent, and launch the Noble Phantasm at the same time when the opponent had no time to slow down and hit the earth, so that he could slow down himself and cause secondary damage to the enemy.
But the premise of all this is that Mordred can seize that momentary opportunity.
If it's fast, it will give the other party time to slow down and fail to achieve the desired effect.
If you are slow, you will let yourself hit the ground directly at this extreme speed, and the consequences will of course be shattered.
So, it's a big gamble.
Mordred is betting on her reaction speed.
The wind was still howling, but the sound of the wind had disappeared, and the pain in his back was no longer felt.
His eyes were fixed on the enemy in front of him, and he didn't know what was going on behind him, but the guy in front of him knew!
Mordred was carefully feeling the speed of her fall, as she felt the acceleration of her fall slow down.
She knew the time had come.
The adrenaline rushed in a straight line at this moment, and the magic in the body boiled without any reservations.
Everything is elevated to the extreme!
The crimson thunderstorm roared like never before, and it was time for the Rebel Knights to fight back!
Mordred holds the sword in her right hand and releases her left hand.
In an instant, she reached into the meteor and grabbed the other's arm.
Mordred then pulled down hard, using the reverse force to bring herself behind the other party.
Began to struggle, but at the moment when Mordred came behind her......
She's already lost.
"I am not a king, but a man who is behind him. For the king's safety, expel all enemies - [Rebellion against Duanli's My Father (Clarent Blood Arthur]!! ”
The crimson thunder light penetrated the heavens and the earth.
