The infinite sword system has been mastered, and you say this is the dragon clan?

Chapter 272: Emiya, use your invincible high jump
"No, even if the individual container disappears, there should be a specific executor to control these branches..."

Even if Star Maria no longer exists, if God's will calls these branches to kill people, there must be a specific commander to execute the order!

Emiya wanted to say something else, but he suddenly realized that Rigidreve beside him had been silent for some time, her face was pale and her body was stiff.

...Not good!
I had just been in the computer space for a long time and didn't feel anything special, so I subconsciously ignored the dangerous nature of this place -

Ordinary humans cannot stay in this computer space for a long time and will be dissolved into data!

"Leave, warrior, it's not suitable to stay here for long."

Therefore, Hildurde took the opportunity to warn again.

"Well, it seems that this exploration ends here."

Emiya carried the already fading Rigidreve on his back, her soft white hair hanging warmly against her back.

But there's a problem with this...

Emiya looked up at the computer space. The fire escape that originally led down had completely collapsed due to the aftermath of the battle. What should he do now if he wanted to go up?
Don't I have to use high jump and jump directly up there?

Emiya felt a little overwhelmed for a moment. Given the weight of Susanoo, if he really jumped on it, there would be a high probability that he would fall back again because he would destroy the floor when he landed.

Emiya thought about it for a while, and when he saw the pair of glowing wings behind the Valkyrie, he suddenly came up with an idea.

You can jump high, but you may need to change your jumping method.

"One last question," Emiya raised his arm while manipulating the Susanoo mecha.

A fierce gale swept through, and countless lightning bolts gathered to form a purple-black longbow at the front end of the huge arm armor.

"You, weren't summoned by the so-called will of God? The appearance of other Servants is understandable, but you..."

Emiya had just heard Xia Mi say "the Valkyries created by Odin". If the King of Earth and Mountains was not just talking nonsense, the origins of these three Alteregos were probably not simple.

Because in this world, the Valkyries are simply Odin's creations. Before the appearance of these Valkyries, it is very likely that the servants that can be summoned from the Throne of Heroes do not include the Valkyries of Valhalla.

In other words...what Hild just said is not the whole truth.

"...You are now obeying the mastermind who controls the branches. Then, originally, were you servants of Odin's people?"

"this……!"

For a moment, Hildreth was speechless. Clear waves surged within her, her pupils narrowed slightly, and her fingertips subconsciously clenched around her spear and shield handles. Slud and Ortlinde's reactions were almost identical...

Emiya raised his longbow. Their behavior meant that his guess was most likely true.

"Sorry, I forgot to explain! Odin and I are not ordinary enemies. We have long been mortal enemies. So, if that is the case, the divine thunder summons--"

A terrifying arrow formed by a large amount of Indra's thunder erupted with a majestic aura. Then, as soon as Emiya loosened his hand, the electronic ocean instantly opened up huge waves, and the exploding thunder swept across everything!
"No! Cooperate with me!" Ortlinde reacted the fastest. She quickly activated Shikoti's ability to cut off the things that were not conducive to their future development, thereby preventing the sisters from being hit by the super AOE attack.

The thunder roared with a frenzy of divine might, and the thick, dense purple lightning emanating from the arrows was as dense as a sudden rainstorm. Shikoti's power quietly took effect before Indra's divine thunderbolt, repeatedly slashing away the thunderstorms that threatened to strike the Valkyrie, transforming them into gentle breezes that brushed her face.

But after Ortlinde exerted her power for half a day, she only waited for Hildurde to cooperate with her. Hildurde was a little slow to react, no... Hildurde was caught by the huge lightning gauntlet because she was closest to Emiya!
"Oh no!" Ortlinde and Hildre's faces changed. Their rhythm was just disrupted by Emiya's words and sudden change of attitude.

It wouldn't have been dangerous in the past, because the Valkyries have always been accustomed to fighting in coordination and cooperation - to what extent?

The answer is that they are like robots with interconnected minds, sharing thoughts and intelligence with each other and having a high degree of identity. Different Valkyrie individuals are like the limbs of the same individual, that is, "homologues", and it is easy for them to cooperate with each other to use incredible tactics.

However, due to the stitching of the spirit base caused by Alterego, although the strength has increased significantly, the coordination between them has also decreased significantly.

The alteregoized Valkyries cannot connect to each other and can only rely on conventional methods to achieve relatively mediocre coordinated combat.

Therefore, Ortlinde and Hilde were unable to know what had just happened in that short period of time and could not provide timely assistance to Hilde.

So, what exactly happened?
They couldn't understand why Slude, who had the ability to interfere with past events, was caught.

Due to the distance between them, Ortlinde and Hildreth were blocked by the lightning and could only watch as the purple giant grabbed Hildreth and threw him upward at a high speed, just like a pitcher throwing the ball in human sports games.

Whoosh-!
A strong wind cut through the atmosphere, and the moment they saw the golden light dancing, Emiya, carrying Rigidreve on his back, instantly grabbed the wings on Slud's back.

They seemed to be holding onto a golden glider, following the lone Valkyrie's upward throw, flying up from the sea of ​​electrons together and quickly disappearing from sight.

At the same time, the Susanoo armor, having lost its operator, dissipated into invisible magic power on the spot, and the thunder storm caused by Indra's arrow completely dissipated.

The super thunder move that was originally intended to be a finishing move ended just like a huge joke played on them.

"..."

Ortlinde and Hilde looked at each other in bewilderment as they watched the clouds dissipate, the rain stop, and the lightning flash.

Were they fooled just now?

In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland.

Boom!

Emiya grabbed Slude's tight back and graceful long legs under her flowing blonde hair. The small and gorgeous light wings had a flexible texture, but seemed to be very strong. They landed in the crew accommodation area above with a high profile, and when they fell to the ground, they made close contact with the metal plate, making a dull impact sound.

"Woooo..."

With his wings and body grabbed, Slude had apparently become not only a makeshift glider, but was now also forced to act as a meat cushion. After being thrown and dropped suddenly, he seemed a little confused and made inarticulate protests.

"A-choo!" Emiya sneezed.

As he carried Regiereve on his back and flew up from below, he was hit in the face by Slud's flowing blond hair behind him, and then sandwiched between Regiereve's soft white hair on his body, which made his nose a little itchy. "Ah, really, to make such a mistake..." Slud quickly came to her senses.

However, the one who moved faster than her was Emiya. He grabbed the long sword "California Kiyomitsu" that had accidentally fallen from his hand and aimed it at Slude who was turning over and preparing to take off again.

"I'm sorry if I offended you just now."

Slude, who got up a step late, had no choice but to raise his round shield and sharp spear, his eyes burning, "How did you do that just now..."

"Hmm?" Emiya waved the famous sword Kashuu Kiyomitsu in his hand. "Are you talking about how to resist your ability to interfere with past events?"

"Indeed... Could you please tell me, my exceptional warrior, how did you execute that irresistible sword move? Rest assured, our Valkyrie's non-hostile stance remains in effect."

To show his sincerity, Slude released his straight, shining spear.

"It's just a cheating three-stage attack." Emiya shook his head.

"Three-stage attack?"

"You saw the moment I decided to launch a surprise attack against you using 'California Clearing Light', intending to undo this established fact of the past. However, you overlooked the fact that my sword contained multiple attacks and could not be defended against."

Emiya explained it rather briefly.

In fact, in detail, Okita Souji's treasure "Three-Stage Explosion of Ignorance" is a contradiction caused by the saturation of phenomena.

This thrust consisted of one, two, and three thrusts, all occurring simultaneously in the same location. However, Slude's ability could not be activated three times simultaneously, making it seemingly undefendable.

Emiya lowered his sword again, saying, "Of course, I have no intention of actually fighting you. I just thought your wings were pretty good, so I'm using this trick as a cover to use you as a hang glider."

Slude also put down his shield, looked at Emiya, and said something that was not sure if it was a compliment:
"You've revealed such a rare martial art to me, only to have it be used for this purpose... Warrior, you seem a little special."

"Especially? ...You had your wings grabbed by a human, and fell in such a posture. Shouldn't you feel humiliated and angry?"

Emiya was a little puzzled. Even a Valkyrie should have a complete mind and a fairly high level of intelligence.

"you misunderstood."

"Even if I'm angry, it should be directed at my own low strength and inadequacy. We Valkyries can't fully utilize our expertise when fighting alone. On the contrary, your bravery and wisdom during combat are worthy of praise."

"On the other hand, we Valkyries are excellent weapons and tools, not living beings. Our mission is to find the traces of warriors and guide their souls to join us. Although I was designed as a beautiful mortal woman, warrior, you don't have to think of me as a woman."

Slude's red eyes were pure and calm.

Without the gun and shield, the Valkyrie seemed to have shed her slightly mechanical warrior identity and simply looked like a woman with gorgeous clothes, a cold and unattainable temperament.

"Really? You've been transformed into alteregos, no longer tools under Odin's command, right? And judging by your behavior, you don't seem to be willing to obey the will of that god. Does this mission really exist?"

"To be honest... I don't know." Slude was silent for a few seconds before speaking.

"In fact, originally, the three of us sisters were summoned here to participate in the Holy Grail War, but due to the advent of an unknown god, the Master was replaced..."

"Holy Grail War? Who was your original Master? Wasn't it Odin?"

Emiya's attention was drawn to it. One of the reasons why he attacked Slude was to collect necessary information. Now it seems that he really got something out of it.

The Holy Grail War being held in this place, could it be a virtual electronic Holy Grail War in computer space?
"No, no, the original master was a human with a similar aura, named... Friedrich von Long," Slude told the whole story without hiding anything and continued.

"But he's no longer the Master. Our contract with the Master was taken away by that God, and his spiritual components were altered, making him lose his original form of existence... I'm completely lost. What's the reason to continue fighting?"

"If you're so conflicted," Emiya said as he helped Regirev up from the side, "how about finding a new reason and redefining yourself?"

"Redefine...myself?"

"So, this is why you brought the enemy back, Lord Emiya?"

Xia Mi, who was busy at the survivors' base, ran over to greet Emiya, but saw a Valkyrie behind him and suddenly his vision went dark.

"They're not enemies, they're just enemies on the surface, understand? On the surface." Emiya signaled Xia Mi to lower her voice, "In other words, they're captured hostages—"

"It's a trophy, right?"

Slude behind him suddenly spoke, startling Xia Mi, "Warrior, no matter how you use tricks, you are the winner of the battle and you should take everything from the loser."

"Possess?" Xia Mi opened her eyes wide. It turned out that you, Emiya, brought back a new concubine?
"...No, can't our values ​​be more modernized? What you said is like the Viking pirates from ancient times." Emiya waved his hands quickly. Of course, his purpose of carrying it back was not for this.

"Modernization..." This time, Slude finally fell silent in confusion, as if he had touched upon his own blind spot in knowledge, and his words no longer seemed shocking.

Xia Mi looked at Slude and saw that he really had no hostility. Her eyes lit up. She pulled Emiya aside and whispered in his ear:
"Emiya-sama, Emiya-sama, you are very capable. I think there is something going on."

Emiya was confused by what Xia Mi said, "What's going on?"

"Think about it, doesn't Norse mythology record the love story between the Valkyrie Brynhildr and the human Sigurd? Lord Emiya, you should also use your love expertise to influence the Valkyries and make them serve you wholeheartedly!"

My specialty in love?

Emiya pointed at himself and thought to himself, Xia Mi, are you okay?
"Xia Mi, Xia Mi, your idea is indeed very powerful, but it still requires too much operation. Is there any simpler and more direct method you can recommend?"

I am indeed good at using love to influence people, but I think my specialty is using love (physical) to influence people!
