037: The Servant's Battle

The moon hung high in the sky, and on the uninhabited ramp near the church, the two servants stared at each other, and the battle spirit and fighting spirit on their bodies were intertwined, making the atmosphere begin to become a little sinister.

Saber had already taken off the raincoat he was draping on, and although he didn't show his weapon or magic power, his eyes were staring at Bai Hua tightly, obviously ready.

Rin Tosaka stepped aside slightly, leaving space for Saber, after all, she was not the main force of the battle, but she also held several gems in her hand that shimmered with magical brilliance.

She did not choose to be a spectator, but took the initiative to become a participant.

Even if you are not the main combatant, this courage is worthy of admiration.

Only Emiya Shirou was alone, looking at Bai Hua at a loss, and then at Saber.

In all fairness, he and Bai Hua have known each other for more than a month, and they have only known Saber for a few hours, so in their hearts, they are actually more inclined to Bai Hua.

Of course, he could tell the difference between friend and foe, and wouldn't let Saber get hurt.

So, Emiya Shirou intends to stop it.

This inexplicable battle, isn't it?

Although they are all masters and servants, there are four other groups, and they don't have to fight at this moment.

Moreover, the murders or accidents reported in the news recently should be the so-called of the servant, with the character of Mr. Arthur Doyle, he will stop it when he knows it, and there is no need to fight.

Shirou Emiya, who doesn't know the life of a magician and doesn't know the cruelty of the Holy Grail War, naively thought so.

So, he opened his mouth to try to persuade him to stop this dangerous battle.

“······”

Alas!?

The moment he opened his mouth, Emiya Shirou was surprised to find that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make any sound, as if his body was out of the control of consciousness.

How so?

Could it be magic... Far board classmates, or ······

Reluctantly turning his eyes, looking at Rin Tosaka, who was full of solemnity, and Illya, who always had a light smile, Emiya Shirou was sure that this was not magic.

But, why?

It wasn't until he looked at Bai Hua and Saber that he finally understood that the source of everything was because of the two people who confronted each other.

The aura emanating from the two of them made the air solemn.

The memory engraved in the genes of the creature was awakened, and Emiya Shirou slowed down the pace of his breathing, and even the frequency of his heartbeat was suppressed by instinct.

This is an instinctive reaction to fear in the face of an aura that is too strong.

"Knock-knock-knock-"

Every beating of the heart is clearly audible.

Emiya pursed his lips, knowing he couldn't stop the fight.

At this time, Bai Hua finally spoke, breaking the deadlock.

"Then, Servant Assassin, Baihua Arthur Doyle." Vigilance flashed in Bai Hua's eyes, and after thinking about it, he said: "In the words of the assassin, here, the assassination operation will be launched!" ”

He didn't speak like an assassin at all.

After all, no Assassin would say 'I'm going to assassinate you right now' in front of his target, right?

can be said from Bai Hua's mouth, but there is no sense of disobedience.

In an instant, the sinister atmosphere directly became tense.

"Saber the Servant, fight." Saber suddenly raised his attention and put on a posture.

But there was still no sign of the weapon in his hand.

It's not that she gave up, it's not that Saber doesn't use weapons, it's that she already has them in her hands.

It's an enchantment that borders on magic, compressing a large amount of wind and attaching it to a weapon, twisting it into invisibility.

In his hand is an incomparably sharp shadowless sword.

Perhaps, this is an extremely troublesome ability for other servants, but for Bai Hua, it has no effect at all.

As a warrior and a warlock, he could clearly perceive the aura of magic in Saber's hands, and even the sharp chill on the Shadowless Sword.

Indeed, in the world where Bai Hua is located, it is extremely troublesome for warlocks to cast spells, but it does not mean that warlocks are powerless.

Otherwise, this profession would have been eliminated long ago in the world where the power system exploded.

When all warlocks are apprentices, they will practice the 'Three Arts', the foundation of all techniques, and the foundation of warlocks.

The three arts are, blessing, mindfulness, and exploration.

Each of these items is very easy to learn, but to master them, ordinary people can't do it in a lifetime.

Coincidentally, Bai Hua's talent is extremely good, and he is proficient in three skills at the same time.

So, with probing, the shadowless sword in Saber's hand was easier to judge in Bai Hua's eyes.

"So ······"

"-Bang!"

With the explosion of magic power, Bai Hua's figure disappeared in an instant, and suddenly appeared in front of Saber with a speed beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

At this moment, the divine sword was already in Bai Hua's hand and swung it down fiercely.

Such a swiftness and control of timing is worthy of the name of Assassin.

Indeed, unlike traditional Assassins, there is no hiding in the dark, nor is it exploiting blind spots. On the contrary, it is above board, but it is also based on its own ability, before the picture information is fed back to the enemy's brain, a strange way of stealth, as if traveling through time.

This is really an assassination.

This kind of assassination is the most horrific for any conscious life.

Because, unconsciously, without even reacting, the assassin's blade will appear on the neck.

No, this can no longer be called an assassination technique, but a real instantaneous killing technique.

Technology that surpasses human capabilities.

Naturally, Saber, who is a servant, didn't react for a while.

But something wonderful happened.

With a sense of it, Saber swung a sword to the left.

"-Boom!"

The earth shattered, and Saber was directly knocked out of the way, but he blocked the killing move.

"Is that why you became an Assassin!?" Saber gritted his teeth and retreated, reassured.

Although Bai Hua's speed is extremely fast, and the grasp of the timing makes Saber unable to guard against it, he still can't escape her skills.

- Intuition (A)

Born with a sixth sense that can even predict the future.

As long as you have this skill, no matter what kind of sneak attack, even if it is beyond Saber's perception, it will not be successful.

However, did Bai Hua become a hero with such ability?

Apparently not!

By the time Saber looked in Bai Hua's direction again, there was no one there.

Above, dangerous!

The intuitive foreknowledge made Saber make an instant judgment, and as he looked up, the shadowless sword in his hand met him.

Above it, silver light fell on the blade.

"-Boom!"

One blow and again crotched.

But the power from the gap is absolute.

Bai Hua's strength value, with the blessing of Illya's massive magic power, was directly promoted to A, if it weren't for unknown reasons, a part of the magic power was diverted, I'm afraid that the level of his strength value would soar to A+.

Saber, on the other hand, is much weaker.

A third-rate magician like Emiya Shirou is simply not enough to supply the demonic power that exists in the Servant.

Even if Saber is summoned at this moment, its various attributes are reduced to varying degrees.

tendon strength, even fell to a pitiful B level.

At this moment, because the speed of Bai Hua's attack was too fast, Saber didn't have time to use all her skills, and only unloaded a small part of her strength, and she undoubtedly rolled out with the upturn of the earth.

If this continues, even if he has the help of his intuition and can crack Bai Hua's rapidity, under the continuous battle, Saber will be defeated sooner or later due to the difference in tendon value.

Everyone present saw this.

People outside the field also saw it.

Bai Hua's figure fell to the ground, and the red rain of light followed one after another.

It was a streamer of light made of magic arrows, and the attack of Archer, who had been staring at Bai Hua with his eagle eyes in the distance.

Sixteen arrows fell almost simultaneously in just two seconds.

Due to his own attack, his body was covered by the dust rolled up, and Bai Hua's vision was a little blurred, but his perception was unusually clear.

As a result, the divine sword turned into a cold light in an instant.

"Ding Ding !!"

A series of sounds, arrows were crotched, and the instant battle made the three masters stunned.

They all underestimated the quality of each other's servants.

"Archer's attack just now should be a surprise attack outside the range of consciousness! This can all be blocked, is he a monster!? ”

Rin Tosaka gritted her teeth and glanced at Illya deliberately, her eyes flashing, but in the end she gave up with a sigh and helplessness.

Regardless of Illya's own magic skills, just the treasure given by Bai Hua, this eldest lady had to weigh whether she could compete with the Servant-level battle before she started.

"Mr. Arthur Doyle, is it so powerful?"

Emiya Shirou was dumbfounded.

It can be said that he was the weakest and most surprising of the few people present.

Today, for Emiya Shirou, there are too many things that have happened, enough to subvert his perception of things.

He was first killed by Lancer once in the school, and then inexplicably resurrected, but was chased and killed by Lancer, and accidentally summoned Saber at a critical moment to save his life.

Later, he found out that the same level student as himself, Rin Tosaka, who was known as the flower of Kaolin, turned out to be a magician and master.

In the church, he learned that he was involved in the Holy Grail War, and it was not easy to convince himself to accept this fact, but he learned that Bai Hua, who had always been regarded as a friend by him, and that person seemed harmless to humans and animals, turned out to be an Assassin, and had such strength?

Emiya Shirou felt a pain in his skull.

Ordinary people can't encounter one of these things in their lives, right?

And he, in just one day... No, to be precise, it was half a day, all experienced once, and it can no longer be described as pure luck or bad luck, if you have to describe it, it is probably - fate.

The stimulation came too suddenly, and at that moment, Emiya Shirou covered his chest, very uncomfortable.

Oops, this is especially the feeling of a myocardial infarction.

"Huh~? Saber was a good guy to be able to hold out under the Assassin for so long. Illya spoke softly, and her expression was surprised rather than appreciating an interesting play.

"Rin's Archer, on the other hand, is really disappointing, that kind of attack is useless against the Assassin."

The girl smiled gracefully.

Of course, Illya would never admit that when Archer's arrow rain hit, she sweated in her heart because Bai Hua had lost her Aegis.

Quietly relieved, Illya turned to look at Rin Tosaka and sighed in disappointment.

The expression is clearly saying, 'Look, your Archer is just as useless as you're
