Chapter 290: The Spearmen Exit
After carefully examining his idea, Zheng Shu felt more and more that it was worth trying.
The most important thing is that, according to his idea, almost no one will suffer in this incident.
According to the original book, Dilumudo was finally killed by Kenneth after the crusade against the Sea Devils, and was tricked by Emiya Kiritsugu to make Kenneth use a spell and order him to commit suicide.
The biggest impact of his death was probably that Emiya Kiritsugu exposed his character in order to be able to kill people, which made the conflict between Emiya Kiritsugu and Artoria reach its peak, but this still did not affect their subsequent battles.
To put it simply, although it hurts, the only impact that Dilumudo had in the original book is probably that Artoria did not go so smoothly when she was crusading against the Sea Devils. Of course, the hotel where Kenneth was staying was blasted by Emiya Kiritsugu, which can probably be regarded as a loss point.
If Zheng Shu lets Dilumudo leave here, then at least Kenneth's life will be saved.
While Kenneth would be ridiculed by his colleagues for "failing a third-rate country magic ritual" upon his return to the Clock Tower, it wasn't too much of a problem for his own life.
And because Kenneth lost the target of Emiya Kiritsugu, the place where he lived would not be attacked, and the various magic costumes he rented, including the magic furnace, would not be destroyed.
You know, when Webb became Ermelo II, Kenneth lost these magic costumes and was in a lot of debt, so much so that he had to work day and night.
It was a good thing for both Kenneth and Webb to be able to return to the Clock Tower alive and not suffer much damage to his property.
As for Dilumudo......
If Zheng Shu remembers correctly, this buddy's wish to come down from Valhalla is to be able to truly serve his monarch once again.
In other words, the moment he was summoned, his wish could basically be regarded as fulfilled, but because he was targeted by the Emiya Kiritsugu and was persecuted by his own master, he returned to Valhalla with reluctance.
If Zheng Shu kills him now, although Di Lumuduo himself will feel unwilling, he will not be so angry, at most he will only be a little regretful.
Of course, having said so many reasons, the most important thing is that if he can really change such a big plot, Zheng Shu feels that he may get the biggest impact factor so far.
On the other side, after discussing the matter about the Assassin, the three servants also fell silent at the same time, watching Berserker standing motionless and becoming vigilant.
In fact, even the most upright Artoria has the idea of retreating, it is obvious that the strength of the opponent's defense is not something that the three of them can break through, and Artoria even suspects that even if it is her own treasure, it may not be able to cause any damage to the other party.
After all, Iskander's ox cart had even been destroyed, and the state of Dilumudo's magic spear was also seen by both of them, knowing that the other party's treasure was not too far from being destroyed.
Although both Iskandar and Artoria still have their own hole cards, it is unacceptable for them to expose all their hole cards only on the second night of the Holy Grail War.
That being the case, there is no point in simply spending it here.
The three of them exchanged a look with each other, and they all confirmed the retreat in everyone's eyes, but the initiative was not on them, but on the Berserker in front of him, who suddenly fell silent for some reason.
"Berserker, get rid of one and go home to sleep." At this moment, Sakura's voice suddenly came.
The pupils of the remaining three servants all shrank suddenly, as they noticed that after the Master's words fell, the momentum on Berserker's body not far away suddenly rose again.
How can it be?! Can it still be improved? How could such a young child have such amazing magical powers?!
With an aura of terror, Artoria suddenly noticed Berserker's golden eyes looking at her.
In the next moment, the figure covered in black mist had already descended in front of Artoria, without any special movement skills, just relying on pure power to propel speed.
Dangerous!
The almost predictable future instinct frantically transmitted the message to Artoria, her pupils contracted violently, and at such a critical juncture, Artoria's body instinctively moved faster than her mind.
The Sword of Victory of the Oath had been blocked in front of her, blocking Zheng Shu's fist.
Rumble!
With a simple punch, Artoria was once again sent flying.
Even though she was prepared in advance this time, the terrifying force still made her body keep retreating, sliding deep gullies on the ground and falling into the sea of the harbor.
Fortunately, under the protection of the lake spirits, Artoria can move freely on the water, but even so, she still keeps retreating on the surface of the sea like a swimmer, looking extremely embarrassed.
"I'm coming!"
With a roar of rage, Iskandar brandished his short sword and rushed forward, stopping Zheng Shu, who wanted to pursue.
Although he was quickly repelled by Zheng Shu's punch, relying on this short time, Artoria regrouped his posture again and launched a charge at Zheng Shu from a distance.
Looking at the people who were already in battle, Dilumudo waved the magic spear in his hand and was ready to join in.
"Lancer, take advantage of this opportunity to retreat!" Unfortunately, Kenneth's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, stopping Dilumudo from wanting to take a step.
"But, Master......" Dilumudo's expression struggled a little.
"I say, retreat! Do you want to disobey orders?! Or do you want me to waste a spell? Kenneth's voice grew harsher.
Dilumudo's dark color changed a few times, and finally chose the latter among his personal thoughts and the lord's orders, after all, the reason why he came down from Valhalla this time was to fulfill his regrets in life.
"Yes! Master. Dilumudo glanced apologetically at Iskandar and Artoria, who were being beaten by Zheng Shu.
For him, this kind of behavior is not conducive to abandoning his comrades and running away.
However, his master's order was absolute, so Dilumudo could only retreat slowly, preparing to retreat into the darkness before spiritualizing and leaving here.
Just as Di Lumuduo was about to retreat, Zheng Shu, who had been pressing the two of them to fight, also glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally.
Sure enough, everything went according to his expectations.
Whether it is Kenneth or Dilumdo's character, he has grasped it accurately through the original book.
After giving Sakura a signal to give her the order to attack, Zheng Shu took the initiative to attack, but he did not choose Dilumudo as the first target.
Because with Kenneth's character, after confirming that Zheng Shu could not be dealt with by the strength of these people alone, if he found that his servant was listed as the main target, it was very likely that he would directly launch a spell to teleport away.
With Kenneth's decisiveness, such an action is still quite possible.
However, if Zheng Shu chooses the other two as the main targets, according to Kenneth's personality, it is very likely that Di Lumudo will be evacuated on his own according to the most rational idea.
After all, the spell is still quite precious, and it is of course a good thing to be able to use one less shot.
And with Dilumudo's character, it is easy to follow such orders that do not go against his own ideas, so the current situation will arise.
However, both Kenneth and Dilumudo overlooked one thing, in a sense, Dilumudo was out of touch with the other two when they retreated.
That is, he is now "isolated".
Zheng Shu looked at Dilumudo, who was about to hide his body into the darkness, and his hands violently pushed Iskandar and Artoria away who were entangled.
As soon as his body turned, a glow of magic burst out from his legs, and in an instant, he used his magic power to greatly increase his movement speed.
"What?!"
"Not good!"
Artoria and Iskandar also understood Zheng Shu's thoughts, in fact, they had already discovered the fact that Dilumudo had quietly retreated, but everyone was actually in a hostile state now, so they had no position to blame the other party for such behavior.
However, they did not expect that Berserker, who had always been regarded by them as completely irrational, would suddenly behave like this.
But it was too late to find out, and Iskander and Artoria could only shout feebly, trying to warn Dilumudo.
"Damn it!" Looking at Berserker, who had only appeared in front of him in an instant, Dilumudo also understood his current situation.
You can't run at this distance, but it's enough for Dilumudo to carry it. Whether it's waiting for his master to use the spell to make him move in space, or waiting for the support of the other two servants, it only takes a short time to complete.
Looking at Dilumudo's defensive posture, Zheng Shu also understood what he was thinking, but Zheng Shu only raised his fist silently.
“!!!”
The high-pitched dragon text was read out of Zheng Shu's mouth, although it was not on his servant panel, Zheng Shu could still use the spirit of words.
Ordinary half-breeds need to chant for a few minutes, but Zheng Shu relies on his three-generation-level dragon bloodline to compress it into a syllable using a chanting method similar to a high-speed divine word.
At the moment when Zheng Shu just raised his hand, his words had already finished chanting, and the surging flame elements quickly converged on his arms and fists, mixed with Zheng Shu's own magical light, making his arms exude an almost distorted black-red brilliance.
Instead of releasing the flame element triggered by the spirit into a light cannon, Zheng Shu chose to condense it on his arm.
The high-intensity flame element combined with Zheng Shu's own magic power made his arm look like a combination of a plasma cutter and a 100-ton hydraulic press in a short period of time.
Seeing the terrifying energy erupting from Zheng Shu's arm, Dilumudo gritted his teeth and raised his two magic spears in front of him.
On the other side, after discovering that his servant had been stopped by the Berserker, Kenneth could only curse and raise his hand to use the spell.
Zheng Shu's eyes moved slightly, and he could already feel the magic around Dilumudo's body begin to fluctuate, which was a sign that the spell was starting to work.
It seems that Kenneth is quite decisive, but unfortunately, it is a little too late now.
Punch!
Zheng Shu's fist was waved down decisively, and without sparing any force, traces of a sonic boom cloud even briefly appeared directly in front of his fist peak.
Boom! Click!
Zheng Shu's fist easily crushed Dilumudo's yellow short spear, which was already full of cracks, and then the fist bombarded the red spear, and the hot flame energy and surging black magic power worked together, directly shattering the intact red magic spear at the moment of contact.
Burst!
Even after the reduction of the two treasures, Zheng Shu's arm still carries a lot of power.
The fist carrying the remnants of strength struck Dilumudo in the chest, piercing his skin and bones.
"Ahem!" Dilumudo's movements stopped suddenly, and he could only cough up a ball of blood weakly.
In front of his chest, Zheng Shu's fist had already sunk into his body, revealing from his back - Zheng Shu's punch directly pierced his body.
"You ......" Dilumudo looked up into Zheng Shu's eyes, being able to make such a decision showed that the berserker had not completely lost his mind as they had understood at the beginning.
However, the moment he saw Zheng Shu's eyes, his intuition as a god warrior began to play a role: "You are ...... Help me? ”
Hearing his words, Zheng Shu's eyes became surprised for a moment, unable to understand how this guy came to such a conclusion, but then he smiled, and his smart appearance did not look like a person who had lost his mind at all.
Dilumudo didn't understand what he was reading, but he chose to trust his instincts.
"It's not clear...... But thanks, just a little bit of a pity...... Didn't tell each other their names. Dilumudo's gaze dimmed, and the power of the return of light quickly withdrew from his body.
Looking at Di Lumuduo, whose body had already begun to turn into a spirit son, Zheng Shu pulled his arm back, and the blood on his arm also dissipated along with Di Lu Muduo's body as a spirit son.
After being silent for a while, Zheng Shu walked in the direction of Sakura Makiri.
"Berserker, you're not hurt, are you?" Sakura also ran to Zheng Shu's side, grabbed his palm and examined it carefully.
"Who can hurt this guy!" This is the inner complaint of everyone present.
Zheng Shu didn't pay attention to the guys around him, just looked at Jian Tong Sakura and shook his head slightly.
"Okay, then let's go back today." Sakura's expression immediately became very happy.
Zheng Shu nodded, reached out and took Sakura's hand, and left here with her.
The others present looked at the departing figures, one large and one small, and fell silent for a while.
