Chapter 733 The Tight String
Magicians and heroic spirits have limited abilities to perceive magic.
But the collision is like a natural disaster, and the power is like destroying the world. Even a beginner who has a trace of magic power by chance can clearly understand it, and be shocked and trembled by it.
The violent explosion and the terrifying sense of oppression in the Einzbern Forest in the west have already plunged the entire Fuyuki City into chaos. The residents were suspicious and frightened. Could there be another natural gas explosion or a power station being struck by lightning? There have been too many disasters in Fuyuki recently, right? Where is it this time? !
And those who knew about it remained silent.
Aozaki Orange had finished smoking half a cigarette before he shook his head in wonder and said: "They beat them, you compete with each other."
The location she was in at this time was the port that had been used as a battlefield last night. It had been blocked originally, but with just a few simple hypnosis in front of Aozaki Orange, she could pass through without any obstruction.
In her eyes, since this place has been beaten to pieces, it is suitable to be used as a battlefield. As for what reasons the church wants to use to explain to ordinary people, that is none of her business.
And of course she didn't just come here by herself.
In addition to the heroic spearman Diarmuid, opposite her stood the black master and spearman.
Bazett and Cu Chulainn.
This was a battle last night, but it was disturbed by an accident before it started. However, Aozaki Orange has no interest in participating in the core battle tonight, even if there is a flower there, he is not interested.
Opposite him, Bazett raised his face and looked in the direction of the forest. After a while, he looked at his idol ancestor Cu Chulainn and whispered: "What should we do if we want to fight the King of Heroes?"
"What should we do?" Cu Chulainn smiled and shook his head: "My suggestion is to wait for death."
"...Huh? Why is this like this? Even if you can't, I can still try to defeat his master. How can you give up so easily?"
"What kind of reward did the Magic Association give you, an idiot girl? Is it worth your efforts?" Cu Chulainn sighed, and then said: "Forget it, you may not have a chance to fight, and you still have to ignore the opponent in front of you. how long?"
"Ah... I'm sorry!" Bazett, who came to his senses, quickly gave a half-bow to Aozaki Orange and said: "I'm very sorry, Aozaki Orange-senior, then let's follow the previous agreement, Lancer and Lancer will compete, and then I will ask you for magic advice …”
Aozaki Orange was startled, threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, and said: "The first part is indeed an agreement, but the second half? Why don't I remember that you said you wanted to ask me for magic?"
"...No?" Bazett thought for a while and apologized again: "Sorry, Senior Chengzi, your name is very familiar among us, the designated executors of the seal. I have always regarded you as the imaginary target of the seal... Oh no, Just...please give me some advice!"
Aozaki Orange looked at Bazett silently for a while, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
This smile disappeared as soon as she took off her glasses. It was like she was a different person. She changed from the confidant sister wearing glasses to the cold sister in seconds, staring at Bazett coldly: "Is this so?"
"Since you are not afraid of death, then come."
…
A pair of masters and servants started fighting, and on the other side, Emiya Kiritsugu was also preparing for action.
He was holding a sniper rifle that had been updated ten years ago, and was using his familiar to determine the target's location and look for a sniper point.
The appearance of the second Black Berserker, Arjuna, was indeed astonishing in its power and the true power of the King of Heroes. However, Emiya Kiritsugu, who had experienced the storm, was only briefly dazed before formulating an action plan for tonight.
It’s time for Hercules to appear!
He previously refused to let Hercules show up, firstly to hide his power, and secondly because he was concerned about the temperament of the Hero King that he knew - in Emiya Kiritsugu's view, the Hero King would not be constrained by rules or camps at all. When he discovered that Hercules If Si Bing is interested in its power, it is possible to kill him directly.
But now that Arjuna has appeared and the King of Heroes is already fighting fiercely, there is one less thing to worry about.
His target was the Pantel brothers.
Or to be more precise, it’s Xabiku Pantel, the elder brother of the Pantel brothers and the master of Black Rider Achilles!
Regardless of whether these two people were plotted by someone or became someone's pawns, the power they possess at this moment is somewhat powerful. It would be okay if Arjuna died in the hands of the King of Heroes, but if not, it would be enough to affect the Holy Grail War. towards.
Outside Shabiku, Arjuna's master Dimlet Emiya Kiritsugu did not want to move, because the best result he wanted was for Achilles to withdraw and Arjuna to balance the King of Heroes.
——Emiya Kiritsugu, whose familiar couldn’t get too close, didn’t know about Arjuna’s situation.
"Ilia, are you ready?"
Emiya Kiritsugu, who climbed onto the rooftop of a 16-story building and set up his sniper rifle, contacted his daughter on the phone: "Did you successfully lock the target?"
"Yes!" A clear and lovely girl's voice came from the other side of the phone: "Don't worry, Kiritsugu, Illya can do it well. But you should pay attention to your safety. I have the strongest Berserker."
"Okay." Emiya Kiritsugu responded lightly: "Don't hang up the phone, wait for my prompt."
"Okay~"
Emiya Kiritsugu aimed his sniper rifle at a suburban service road with little traffic in the distance, waiting for an opportunity.
…
A few kilometers from his aiming point, the Pantel brothers were driving closer to the Western Forest.
At this time, both brothers were a little hesitant, and they were both happy and sad. Because even Tohsaka Rin was a little uncomfortable because of Gilgamesh's extraction of magic power, Dimlett felt that the magic circuits in his body were creaking, as if they were going to be scrapped.
Fortunately, as a middle-aged magician who had experienced many battles, he could still hold on for the time being, and he was happy because of this - the new Berserker Arjuna really withstood the attack of the King of Heroes!
That kind of natural disaster-like power is terrifying, but it is so exciting to have one of them on their side... Even if Arjuna behaves strangely, it is probably worth their effort to fight for it, because the connection between the Command Spell and magic power cannot be faked!
The reason why Arjuna has not been recalled yet is because they want to see what kind of surprises he can bring to the King of Heroes, and even whether there is a chance to win the battle... The Command Spell is used at the critical moment, which is a combination of kindness and force.
"Don't be careless, Dimlett, that guy gives me the feeling that he might really kill the Master." In the driving workshop, Shabiku, as the brain between the brothers, did not forget to remind.
"I know. We can't be stingy with the Command Seals. Just keep one." Dimlet nodded and said, "Brother, you should also let Rider be more vigilant."
"Yes."
"Stop! Master! Be careful!"
As soon as Achilles was mentioned, Achilles suddenly appeared in the back seat to warn.
Shabiku reacted quickly. After the harsh brake sound, the car stopped more than ten meters away. Without asking the reason, they quickly opened the car door and jumped out of the car to dodge!
Bang-the next moment, a huge stone axe that seemed to appear out of thin air crushed the car. In the magnificent firelight, their modified bulletproof car exploded directly like a toy!
The impact was blocked by Achilles. He picked up one in each hand and quickly pulled away from him by dozens of meters. He looked up to be alert to the attacker, but was stunned.
"No, no?"
The Pantel brothers stood back on the ground and saw the huge figure of more than two meters tall on the opposite side. The dark face was even more oppressive in the night!
"Red Servant?!"
"I haven't seen it before, is it a Berserker?"
"Who is this guy?"
"Hercules..." Achilles spat out the name with a sour look in his teeth.
"...Who?"
It's not that he didn't hear it clearly, but the situation was really absurd. Achilles is actually not weak. As a Greek hero who is famous all over the world, if he hadn't faced the King of Heroes last night, he shouldn't have been so weak and looked so weak.
You know, he is called the hero second only to Hercules in Greek mythology!
Yes, second only to Hercules.
And now he's here, right? !
At the same time, on the top of a tall building in the distance, Emiya Kiritsugu seized the opportunity at this moment!
Taking advantage of the absurd tension of Achilles facing Hercules, using the appropriate sniping angle brought by the car smashing just now, borrowing the silenced sniper bullet, it is enough to kill with one shot!
The crosshairs have locked onto Shabiku, and the trigger is about to be pulled. Emiya Kiritsugu, who has experienced hundreds of battles, smelled the breath of death at this moment.
There was no delay.
Or rather, the body's instinct acted earlier.
Gathering the magic power of the whole body, Emiya Kiritsugu instantly activated the time magic that has been studied by the Emiya family for generations and passed down through magic seals.
"Inherent time control, three times!"
Completed a small inherent barrier in the body, and through methods such as accelerating blood flow and hemoglobin burning speed, let his own physical skills reach a level that is impossible to achieve under normal circumstances. The surrounding space seems to be suspended relative to him.
Then quickly rolled to the side.
Pah——
Amid the sound of bullets hitting the wall behind him, Emiya Kiritsugu hid behind the bunker and gently touched his right cheek. The wound cut by the bullet wind was bleeding.
"I was almost shot in the head. Was it a sniper?" Emiya Kiritsugu murmured, "Is it the building at seven o'clock? When I was targeting others, I became someone else's prey without realizing it. There is a master."
He exhaled softly, picked up the phone and dialed, "Illya, if there is an accident, you should ensure your own safety. Let Hercules play with Black Rider for a while. It is best not to force him to recall Black Berserker."
"Kiritsugu! Are you okay..."
"Well, don't worry about me." Emiya Kiritsugu said, "Do as I say. If the Black Berserker returns, evacuate immediately!"
...
"It seems that everything is getting lively."
At Weber Base, Lion Jie Jie Li was lying on the sofa and picking his teeth with a toothpick. He observed all directions through his familiar and said such words.
Weber on the opposite side controlled the clairvoyance magic to switch the angle of observation, nodded solemnly, and touched his stomach with his hand.
Over there, King Arthur and Mordred hadn't eaten yet and were still in a fierce fight.
The King of Conquerors was drinking by himself and asked Ji Xing, who was cleaning the table, if he could make wine. His interest in this was greater than his interest in the battle tonight.
Weber had become accustomed to ignoring it. The Lixing meal and the Hero's Tomb were already unchangeable facts. Even he himself didn't want to start working without eating, but he believed that those people would still be reliable if he really encountered a situation.
"The serious Hero King is so powerful that he said that he was careless and lost ten years ago. It's not just a face-saving argument."
Even so, even if the Hero King was serious ten years ago, Weber still felt that Tong Yuan would win... The strong can't beat the evil.
"As for Arjuna, the great Indian demigod hero who fights the King of Heroes... something is wrong."
It's not that the strength is wrong, it's that the method and function of being summoned are wrong.
Last night, Dimlet's Berserker was instantly killed by the King of Heroes and retired. Today, he got the Command Seal to summon the Heroic Spirit again. It can only be the church controlling all this behind the scenes.
The church gave him a command spell and a holy relic, allowing him to summon the powerful mad-level Arjuna. Judging from the conversation with Lord Marisbili during the day, this was a real 'move' by the church.
But ‘making a move’ should not just muddy the waters.
It was clear that Arjuna could become the ace, but he was left as cannon fodder to the Pantel brothers. Being able to fight the King of Heroes does not mean that you can win. In any case, you may lose more.
So why do this? It can't possibly be to call out a qualified opponent who can cooperate and embody the power of the King of Heroes, right?
"What is the real goal...?"
Weber's brain was running at high speed, and he suddenly raised his head in horror and said: "Lion Jie, do you think the Holy Grail system can summon more heroic spirits?"
"More? No way. Counting this new Berserker, a total of 16 people will appear in the Fuyuki Holy Grail War this time, which is quite astonishing..." Shishi Jie responded, becoming solemn thoughtfully: " Is it the limit?”
Ji Xing, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, turned his head. Weber's little head was really smart. Even he only thought of the real purpose of the spoiler in the middle of the meal.
But it's okay, don't pay attention to it, it won't work.
But...his palm stirred up the water.
The newly developed 'forbidden spell' magic is not yet mature, but it may be used tonight.
…
The magic base beneath the prison.
Faldius was also observing the outside world through clairvoyance magic, with a smile on his face.
The time is about right.
Which one is more likely to break, a loose string or a tight string? Even if you find a junior high school student, he will give you the answer of "tight string".
There are only four spiritual veins in Fuyuki City, and the Holy Grail has only accumulated 60 years of spiritual power.
Starting the Holy Grail War and having 15 heroic spirits appear is already the limit. The 16th heroic spirit is the last straw to put more pressure on the Holy Grail!
The string is too tight.
Especially Ruler, who can directly use the magic power of the Holy Grail, Astraea also experienced a fierce battle and used a lot of magic power. The fierce battle between Arjuna and the King of Heroes did not all use the magic power of their masters!
At this time, as long as a little external force is applied, the string will snap and break!
"Okay, it's time to take action." He instructed the other end of the familiar.
Give this string the last bit of pressure and let the Holy Grail system malfunction and break!
All the redundant heroic spirits will be withdrawn, leaving only those with the ability to survive on their own! Choosing the magician Medea to capture is not random!
"Ha, how many will be left? Let the situation be clear, magicians~"
Two updates 7k3. There are so many characters that it would be impossible not to write about them, so we can only add more and overdo it. There will be two more updates tomorrow, and the climax is about to begin. Ji Xing will go on a killing spree, and after exiting the scene, the plot will be concise and clear.
