041: The Fool's Master
"Bah-bah-bah!"
The symphony of steel continued to sound, and Bai Hua, who had entered the realm of divine speed, almost turned into a streamer, and launched a continuous, storm-like attack on the blonde-haired knight girl.
In the middle of this hurricane-like onslaught, Saber reluctantly raised his sword and slashed.
That's how Saber came along.
No, it's said that it's a battle, but it's better to say that it's unilaterally insisting that you don't lose.
She just relied on her intuition to defend against the next blow every time Bai Hua's attack came.
But even so, Saber's injuries are getting worse and worse, and gradually, even the sword that blocks Bai Hua can't do it, and when they collide together, they will also leave wounds on her body because of weakness.
At this time, this resolute knight girl had large and small wounds all over her body, and blood was constantly flowing out.
The half-covered armor on his body was mostly shattered, and there was a wound on his forehead, and the blood ran through his eyes, staining his vision scarlet.
“Saber!”
Emiya Shirou cried out anxiously, trying to step forward and dissuade Saber from escaping.
With Saber's state, it is impossible to compete with Bai Hua.
He, a layman, saw this.
He clearly noticed that when fighting against Bai Hua, Saber stopped his movements several times because of the wound on his left chest and the wound on his waist.
The former is the wound Saber left behind when he was just summoned to fight Lancer, the curse of the magic spear.
And the latter is a deep wound that can be seen by the divine sword when he fought with Bai Hua.
The magic spear's attack carries a curse, needless to say.
But the slash on the waist, with the servant's body made of magic power, as long as the spirit core is not destroyed, if the magic power is used, this injury should have recovered a long time ago.
However, there has been no cure for a long time, and the root cause is that Emiya Shirou can't provide enough magic power.
After being told this by Rin Tosaka, Emiya Shirou blamed himself even more.
If it weren't for him, even if Saber wasn't Bai Hua's opponent, he wouldn't be so embarrassed.
"Saber, get out of the way or ······"
Before he could say anything, he was stopped by Saber's raised hand, and his steps forward stopped.
Saber is sending a message to his master, 'Don't come, it's dangerous, the battle isn't over yet'.
The girl who pressed the shadowless sword against the ground and tried to stand up also told everyone present that she had not given up and would continue to fight!
Ah, this is also a matter of course, the so-called heroes, aren't they such people?
After sublimating into a heroic spirit, the injury can be recovered with magic power, and until the end of the inability to move, even the body can't move, and he won't give up fighting.
Looking at Saber like this, Illya spoke impatiently.
"She can recover, cut off her head, the final blow, Assassin!"
Bai Hua's mood was also heavy, and he didn't care about the rudeness in Illya's words at the moment, and slowly walked in front of Saber.
"Saber, you are an excellent warrior, if our masters are exchanged, I should be the one who will be killed."
Bai Hua said solemnly, his eyes full of appreciation and regret for Saber.
There are not many warriors with such beliefs, even in his world.
But···
"If we meet on another occasion, I really want to have a good exchange with you, I'm sorry, Saber, in the Holy Grail War, we and other servants only have the right to fight each other."
After speaking, Bai Hua raised his left hand and gently hammered it three times on his chest before pointing at Saber.
This in his world, is the oldest etiquette to express respect and admiration to the warriors.
Immediately, the Excalibur was raised high by Bai Hua.
In an instant, Emiya Shirou's pupils shrank to the extreme.
What you can't win, you can't win against Mr. Arthur Doyle.
If she continues like this, she will be killed, so Saber should run away, and she should be able to escape easily if she has this kind of thought.
However, the truth is that Saber is still standing still.
Yes, this kind of thing, she knows better than anyone else, but she won't run away!
Excalibur - fell.
At the same time, Emiya Shirou's brain was running rapidly, his spirit was unprecedentedly stable, and his body was tense to the limit.
Immediately afterward, he made a move that surprised everyone.
"Jump-"
"Poof—"
"Woo!"
Three voices rang out.
Saber was knocked out of the way, and Emiya Shirou took her place, a wound in her back that ran from her right shoulder to her roots.
The air suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the figure that had fallen to the ground, unconscious and fainting, like a corpse.
"Taxi... Shirou! ”
After being stunned for a few seconds, Saber hurriedly rushed forward, checking Emiya Shirou's injuries while being wary of Bai Hua.
"No... No way!? ”
Rin Tosaka's voice was full of surprise and puzzlement.
The master rushed to protect the servant, but I haven't heard of it, has this guy's head been burned?
In the end, the eldest lady froze in place at a loss.
“··· Emiya boy! ”
Bai Hua suddenly let go of the divine sword in his hand and stepped forward anxiously.
Ignoring Saber's angry lion-like gaze and tearing open Emiya's clothes, the magic on his body works in a strange way, and his injuries are treated in an emergency.
"How stupid is this guy? It's all been said that the slave is a dead soul that does not exist in the world, why is it still ······"
Bai Hua could conclude that if he hadn't withdrawn his strength at the last moment, Emiya Shirou would have been directly cut into two pieces.
It was precisely because of this that the look in Bai Hua's eyes began to waver.
He had sworn that he would never kill the good and the weak, but now he could break that vow.
"Obviously not a warrior, but he has to break into the battlefield."
When Emiya Shirou rushed up desperately to save Saber just now, he showed the faith of a warrior, but he didn't have the ability of a warrior.
Compared with a few people, the reaction of another girl was beyond expectations.
"Liar... Why? ”
Illya instinctively backed away.
As the master, she has always maintained calm and elegance, but at this moment, she showed incredible shaking and nervousness.
She has always believed that Emiya Kiritsugu left her as a daughter, betrayed Einzberen, and adopted a child in Fuyuki City, that is, Emiya Shirou.
Her nominal brother-in-law should be the same person as Emiya Kiritsugu, a despicable betrayer, and a villain driven by profit.
Originally, it was supposed to be like that.
However, in that case, how can Enomiya Shirou's actions just now be explained?
If you think about it like this, then the Kiritsu is actually ······
The panicked look flashed, and it was masked by Illya.
"Count... It's so boring, let's leave them alone today, let's go Assassin! ”
After giving the order, Illya turned and walked in the opposite direction.
It's just that the tremor in her voice gives people a sense of panic like a girl is actually running away and wants to get out of here as soon as possible.
Bai Hua glanced around at the remaining three and let out a long sigh.
"The injury of the young man of the palace is just an emergency treatment, and when the magic dissipates, it will deteriorate again, deal with it quickly, otherwise he will lose his life."
