Backup plan?
What backup plan? Where did the backup plan come from?
This was actually the first thought that ran through Tohsaka Rin's mind, but she did not dwell on these minutiae at this time. Instead, she decisively followed the other party's suggestion and nodded vigorously.
It doesn’t matter where the backup plan came from, as long as you have such a plan!
If it were normal times, the girl might still be a little dissatisfied. As a master, no one had told her that she had other plans...
But the situation at the moment was completely different. Deafening explosions and roars continued to come from behind, and violent winds and shock waves swept through the mountain forest, causing the trees on the surrounding mountain roads to wail.
This movement was like a hurricane passing through. It was not as exaggerated as the end of the world, but it did have a sense of imminent disaster.
Under such circumstances, she could not help but feel a sense of panic and despair. Faced with a predicament that suddenly became so dangerous, she subconsciously wanted to seek help from someone she could rely on.
It's a good thing that a servant has a backup plan...
How could you still be in the mood to worry about anything else at this time?
But even though the girl acted so decisively, she was still shocked by the other party's outspoken plan. Was this person going to use the Command Seal on him and order him to control the power of the Great Holy Grail?
"you you……"
Tohsaka Rin subconsciously widened his eyes and looked at the other person with his mouth agape, and then a lightning-like thought penetrated his mind like a flash of lightning.
"Wait! Do you think you have remembered it? That trump card of yours?!"
She subconsciously thought of this aspect, thinking that this guy had recalled his true name and could use the ultimate method of the servant - the power called the Noble Phantasm.
But to say that you can directly control the power of the Great Holy Grail is a bit outrageous, right?
Tohsaka Rin subconsciously wanted to question.
However, the roar behind him was so thunderous and continuous that even the mountain seemed to be shaken, and the ground surface trembled slightly.
This shows that the powerful Noble Phantasm offensive of the foul-mouthed guy is still going on furiously. Waves of it are slamming down like a torrent, like a never-ending meteor shower of Noble Phantasms. No matter in terms of the way it is used or the way it is used, Judging from the amount of squandering...
——They are undoubtedly a more absurd challenge to common sense.
——If this Holy Grail War is a game, then that golden guy’s Noble Phantasm value is definitely filled with his feet.
Tohsaka Rin relied on his basic understanding of the Servant's Noble Phantasm to deeply understand the incredible and extreme impossibility of this scene. In fact, if it were not for such an exaggeration, the original advantage of our side would not be shaken so easily.
Facing the deafening explosion and impact behind her, the girl bit her lower lip tightly, and suddenly she felt that she had no doubts about her servant's Noble Phantasm.
——So outrageous things have happened...
——There’s nothing unacceptable about something that’s just a little outrageous...
"Yes, that's my trump card..."
Xia Zhi pulled the girl quickly through the forest and said this without looking back.
This is his trump card, but it's definitely not a Noble Phantasm, and strictly speaking, it's not ready yet. Otherwise, he wouldn't need Miss Master's command spell to even the gap and make up the necessary values. .
Mainly because I didn’t expect the enemy to be so exaggerated. It was as if the father of the God of Creation had come down to earth just to show off. To a normal heroic spirit, a precious phantom was just thrown around for free...
Fortunately, he was mentally prepared when he got involved in this Holy Grail War.
Faced with the concept of a Servant that he did not understand, and considering the countless possibilities of the heroic spirits in the past, he would rather overestimate his opponent to the maximum extent than make the mistake of underestimating the enemy...
So it was the same just now. When she realized that Gilgamesh came here specifically to play in the gym, Xia Zhi suddenly raised her vigilance to the highest level. After all, the opponent is still so arrogant and arrogant when they look at Liudongji's lineup...
In addition to the possibility of being mentally disabled, it cannot be ruled out that the other party really has that confidence, no matter where that confidence comes from.
"That, that's good!"
Tohsaka Rin panted and nodded repeatedly, and was pulled along the dark mountain road. Hearing the affirmative answer from his servant, he felt a little at ease in his heart, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
Of course, what's more is uncontrollable panic and bitterness.
If this guy hadn't been very cautious, I'm afraid that our side would have already suffered the fate of catching everyone in Liudong Temple at this moment. This development really took a turn for the worse, like a roller coaster, which made her feel a little depressed.
Just now, she was still immersed in the heroic ambition of having four heroic spirits and seemed to have firmly controlled half of the Holy Grail War. She even had the illusion of being able to strategize freely...
But in an instant, all the sweet dreams were shattered, and the enemy came like a violent storm, devastatingly disintegrating one's side's position and forcing one's side into a desperate situation.
However, Tohsaka Rin was still tough enough. She took a deep breath and quickly regained her mentality. She even thought of something, and subconsciously gasped and asked: "By the way, how is that guy Emiya?" Already?"
"It should have been transferred directly, probably thrown to the other side of the mountain... It depends on his luck."
Xia Zhi still replied without looking back. He could guess what Medea did. Maybe the Witch Lady didn't care about Emiya Shirou's life or death, but in order for Arturia to cooperate willingly, she couldn't just watch. The other party died in Liudong Temple.
Otherwise, just a second ago he said that he wanted to ensure the safety of the other party's former master...
The next second, he discovered that the former Master was pierced by thousands of arrows and smashed into pieces in front of his eyes...
Even if she knew that the culprit was Gilgamesh, Saber still couldn't accept such a thing... And since the vibrations and explosions in the rear were still continuing, it meant that Miss Witch was still trying to deal with it.
It was only possible that Artoria was actually cooperating with the Witch Lady in her fight, and that she could persist until now.
"That's good--"
Tohsaka Rin gasped and said that even in such an emergency, she still didn't want Sakura to have any possibility of being sad.
However, at this moment, she suddenly felt a strong force coming from the opponent's hand, which caught her off guard and was thrown half a circle. Her body seemed to be ejected instantly and fell heavily to the side!
That is, the tip of the spear like lightning.
The point of the gun fired to pierce the heart is beyond the reach of human eyes.
It's like a beast hiding in the darkness is waiting for an opportunity to move, and it can bite the girl's heart accurately just a little bit.
However, it was precisely because of that little difference that he failed to achieve his wish. The heroic spirit of the gun in blue armor could only helplessly watch his confident blow miss, and at the same time he could not stop the backhand fist of the young man from opposite him from going straight. own face.
He only had time to raise his spear, and then a huge force hit him!
Ping ping ping pong——! !
Like a dense symphony of gold and iron, the continuous impact sound erupted countless times in just one second, and seemed to be compressed and merged into the same deafening sound in the same second, so sharp. It seems to penetrate a person's eardrum.
Under the cover of this shocking and huge sound, several crackling sounds that were almost insignificant in comparison quietly sounded.
On the other side, the girl with black hair and twin tails whimpered in pain, but her reaction was also extremely quick. She gritted her teeth in an instant and chose to be strong without saying a word.
Using both hands together, she tenaciously grasped the soil and scattered gravel on the mountain, and stood up again at an amazing speed. She distanced herself while looking back, just in time to see the two sides finishing the first wave. Confrontation, moment of separation.
Blood dripped on the ground.
The air between the two parties seemed to be frozen!
The young man who seemed to have just become familiar with him was standing there as if he was a stranger at the moment. The expression on his face was no longer the usual careless look, but revealed something strange and out of place from the inside out.
Tohsaka Rin opened his mouth, unable to describe the feeling, but vaguely felt that the other party seemed to have torn off some kind of shell-like disguise and replaced it with another person.
In other words, not a human being.
She was not the only one who felt this way. The blue spearman opposite also frowned in surprise and looked at the strange servant opposite. His left arm hung unnaturally, showing a twisted angle.
Because when he missed the first blow, he had to withdraw his gun to deal with the opponent's attack. And because of this, he did not have a perfect defense against all the opponent's attacks.
Faced with the blow that was like a city-breaking hammer, he could only raise his left arm to block it, thus preventing the part above his neck from being directly blown away...
His eyes subconsciously glanced at the fists of the young man opposite. Seeing the bloody fists, the blue spearman frowned. The opponent's fists were indeed not noble phantoms. They should have relied on some kind of strengthening magic to achieve such performance. .
It is undoubtedly an extremely advanced strengthening magic, which can even directly make the fist have the power and hardness comparable to ordinary treasure phantoms.
——Is this really Assassin?
——You don’t even need to reveal your Noble Phantasm, but just by meeting him, your head almost flew off? !
The blue spearman took a deep breath. While he felt that his face was dull and even a little humiliating, he could not help but feel that his blood was boiling. As a warrior, he was looking forward to fierce battles with other heroes. Isn't this what a warrior should do? A way of survival?
"Hahahahahaha, it's rare..."
At this thought, he couldn't help laughing out loud——
"I originally thought that following orders and standing guard outside would be a boring thing, but I didn't expect to meet such a skilled opponent. Let's do it again!"
Quickly taking two steps back, the blue spearman raised his spear with his good right hand, full of blood and heroic spirit!
"..."
"..."
Trouble...
As expected, none of the heroic spirits are simple.
Xia Zhi stared at the blue spearman in front of him indifferently, and thought quickly, just like every time in the past, the predator was in the hunting ground of time, based on the intelligence obtained so far, breaking the situation, making plans, and finally Complete the prey target.
It's just that this time the situation is obviously more troublesome, and there are no more options.
At that critical moment, he was sure that he had accurately grasped the flaw caused by the other party's attack on the Master, but even so——
After this confrontation, it was only possible to destroy one of the opponent's arms.
It seemed that the result was good, but if it failed to completely break the opponent's arms and head, it was considered a failure of the strategy.
Medea's strengthening magic is better than expected. After many times of strengthening, she can even make her fists comparable to the Noble Phantasm for a short time. However, this effectiveness has its limits. The head-on confrontation just now almost exhausted the strengthening magic. The effectiveness of...
The proof was that his fists also became bloody.
Unless I use Tohsaka Rin’s Command Seal next——
Treat the injuries and recharge the enhanced magic...
But once the command spell is used, it is very likely that the ultimate plan will not be implemented.
His thoughts were racing like lightning. In a split second, Xia Zhi seized the current slim chance of survival and decided to kill the opponent by force here first, and then consider the final plan. Otherwise, he would not even be able to cross here, and it would be meaningless.
"Master..."
Opening his mouth to call to the girl behind him, Xia Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the blue spearman in front of him, preparing to say the next words.
Bang bang bang——
The ground suddenly shook.
It seemed as if some heavy beast was approaching this place.
"Oh my, big brother, what are you doing here...it seems so lively?" An innocent laughter as clear as a copper bell rang out, sitting on the shoulders of the great Greek hero, swaying his white and tender little feet, the girl with white hair and red eyes. Li emerged from the shadows of the forest.
She also noticed that there was such a big movement in Yuanzang Mountain and rushed here just now.
Unexpectedly, while big explosions were happening on the top of the mountain, there were also two contestants confronting each other on the mountain road outside.
This immediately made Loli's eyes light up. Could it be that she was so lucky today that she could kill multiple enemies in one go? ——She doesn’t care what happened specifically, and firmly believes that her Berserker is the strongest heroic spirit.
"What is this guy's background..."
Facing the huge giant that suddenly appeared, the blue spearman subconsciously showed fear. He turned slightly sideways and held his spear horizontally on guard.
Little did he know that his subconscious actions were clearly visible to someone across from him.
——Variables appear!
——The space available for operation is suddenly available!
Xia Zhi raised his eyebrows. He originally thought that the situation was very bad. This giant was also an ally on the opposite side. Tonight, they wanted the coalition to attack and destroy the forces of Liudong Temple... But now it seemed that was not the case.
I carefully thought back to what I said and did when I first met the white-haired and red-eyed Loli.
Regardless of whether it's disguise or acting, at least on the surface, she seems to be very obsessed with the guy named Emiya Shirou, as if she has some deep hatred... Yes, this is an entry point!
In an instant, she made up her mind, and Xia Zhi's expression changed quickly, and she spoke as if she had no choice but to say:
"I didn't expect you to have made so many preparations. You have already secretly joined forces. It seems that we did not lose unfairly..."
Blue Lancer: "?"
The unlucky spearman was still instinctively wary of the terrifying giant, and turned around in shock upon hearing this.
What is this man talking about?
Are you talking to yourself?
"Even the escape route has been calculated. You must have captured Emiya Shirou just now..."
"No, what are you talking about-" The blue spearman frowned, but his words were cut off as soon as he opened his mouth.
"I know!"
The young man clenched his bloody fists hard and continued with an angry look on his face: "Looking at that shiny golden guy who is so interested in Saber, and looks like he is determined to win, he must be planning to use Shirou Emiya to coerce her into giving in, right? !”
The acting skills are on point, the words are plausible and the words are serious.
At the same time, he casually used his previous plan as a shit basin and directly put it on the opponent's head.
"That disgusting guy has indeed been coveting Saber for a long time..." Upon hearing this question, the blue spearman frowned and subconsciously answered.
What the other party said was so convincing that he felt a little less confident.
Could it be said that there is really such a plan?
next moment--
Feeling some bad premonition, the blue spearman suddenly turned his head back and saw the white-haired and red-eyed Loli staring at him fiercely.
Based on the scene in front of her, she subconsciously figured out the truth, thinking that after Emiya Shirou was rescued by the mysterious servant before, he came to Enzo Mountain to form an alliance with the contestants here.
However, the alliance did not even last long. The position of Enzangshan was attacked by other enemies together, and Shirou Emiya was also kidnapped by the other side.
This realization made Illya immediately change the target of hatred!
She is indeed very dedicated to Emiya Shirou, but it is not because she wants to protect Emiya Shirou, but because she is unwilling to let others take away the right to kill the guy herself. Whoever dares to do so is her enemy! !
"Berserker——!!"
After giving the order, the terrifying giant immediately let out a meaningless roar, brandishing a huge ax and charging towards the target. The land along the way was directly blown away, and the big trees blocking the road were broken! !
"Wait! What are you going to do..."
The blue spearman's eyes widened, and he knew almost immediately that he had been tricked. However, there was no room for him to explain at this time, and the terrifying figure like a tank rushed in front of him in the blink of an eye.
He could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and hurriedly raised his spear with one hand to fight.
Berserker's hand-to-hand combat ability was at a superb level that surpassed all the servants. The blue spearman was already in poor condition and had temporarily lost an arm in the previous raid, so he was no match for him.
Although he is also highly skilled in martial arts, he will lose in a long battle. He did not fight for too long. He made a mistake and exposed his flaw.
next moment--
The violent giant stretched out his hand as big as a cattail leaf, grabbed the blue spearman's ankle, lifted him up, spun him around at high speed, and finally threw him away! !
The screams of the spearmen echoed in the windy mountain forest.
————
————
"This is it, Master!"
After playing a strategy of driving away tigers and devouring wolves, Xia Zhi took advantage of the two sides to fight, bypassed the battlefield as quickly as possible, and finally led Tohsaka Rin to the node on the mountain.
Nodes that belong to "tumors".
It is also the place where the spiritual power of several earth veins meet, and it is one of the nodes of the magic center of Enzang Mountain.
"Understood……"
Tohsaka Rin didn't waste any time. She had already made up her mind. She raised her right hand and the three tattoo-like markings on the back of her hand lit up.
"In the name of the Command Seal——"
"Assassin, control the power of the Great Holy Grail and win me victory!"
An engraving disappeared instantly. At the same time, with the clear command, Xia Zhi felt that huge magic power suddenly followed the connection of the contract and came to his body, causing his ability value to soar a lot in an instant.
It may only be a very short-term temporary enhancement, but the improvement obtained by consuming an absolute command power will be very effective during the duration.
Moreover, there is more than just one Command Seal.
The girl with black hair and twin tails did not hesitate, and then followed the same steps, superimposing and strengthening three command spells on the young man in the form of the same command.
After using these three command spells in one breath, the girl's strong momentum suddenly dropped. She pursed her lips, stared stubbornly at the guy in front of her, and repeated the words again: "Assassin, control the Great Holy Grail. Use your strength to win for me!"
"..."
"..."
"As you wish, Master!"
Xia Zhi felt the powerful increase in her body, bowed directly to the girl, and then stretched out her hand. The magic power spread deep underground, quickly dissipating along the earth's veins to the surroundings like light.
The magic circle arranged in advance was activated by his magic power, and began to operate powerfully and unscrupulously.
Tohsaka Rin bit her lower lip tightly and watched as light began to bloom on the ground from the young man's palm, which seemed to be overflowing with light.
The light wanders...
The lines are connected...
Like an undulating dragon and snake, it quickly swam towards the entire huge mountain!
The next moment, it was as if the earth was rumbling and shaking, and the heaven and earth seemed to be overturned. A storm of magic shot up into the sky, the sky and the earth were vibrating, and Tohsaka Rin seemed to be pulled into some kind of illusion. .
She seemed to see in a trance——
It was an extremely huge "alchemy furnace" rising from the ground, standing between heaven and earth...
Like a burning calamity fire rumbling with high temperature, behind the "Alchemy Furnace", there is a huge hazy figure, out of reach...
