The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 217 Bait
"Saber, now is not the time to fight." Irisviel's voice rang in Altria's mind.

The two communicated directly through their mental power. This special way of communication allowed them to communicate without being noticed by others.

Irisviel's voice was filled with worry and reason; she knew now was not the best time to fight.

Altria nodded slightly, indicating her agreement with Irisviel.

"Let's go back first." she said softly.

The two of them slowly retreated, their movements cautious and careful, always keeping alert.

Altria's eyes never left Weiss.

When they disappeared into the crowd, Weiss still stood there quietly, showing no sign of taking action.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault..." Matou Kariya lowered his head, his face full of apology.

"No, my identity will be exposed sooner or later," Weiss said in a relaxed tone, suddenly remembering something, "By the way, from now on I am Caster."

"???" Matou Kariya's face was full of confusion, "Aren't you Berserker?"

His eyes were full of confusion, not understanding why Weiss suddenly changed his identity.

"My Taijutsu is far inferior to other Heroic Spirits, so I'll be discovered quickly. Since I've already dealt with Caster, there's no problem in impersonating him."

Weiss said nonchalantly, a confident smile on his face.

This is just a small strategic adjustment that won't have a big impact on their plans.

Matou Kariya held his forehead and said helplessly, "As long as you are happy."

He knew he couldn't change Wes's decision and could only accept it.

"Don't worry, victory will definitely belong to us." Weiss's voice was firm and powerful, full of confidence.

On the other side, Altria was driving her car fast on the road.

A-level riding ability ensures safety even in a constant flow of traffic.

The car was like a cheetah, speeding across the road, leaving behind a blurry shadow.

"Saber?" Alice, who was sitting in the back, looked at the group of cars outside the window worriedly.

"I have a bad feeling." Altria's voice was low and serious, and there was a wary glint in her eyes.

As a heroic spirit, she has a very sharp intuition and can sense the danger around her.

"You mean," Alice's voice trembled slightly, "that guy will catch up."

Altria dialed Emiya Kiritsugu's number and handed it to Alice.

After a while, Alice hung up the phone. "Okay, I got it."

Her voice was filled with helplessness and worry. "Kiritsugu said we should pin him down if we have the chance."

Altria slammed her right hand on the steering wheel, making a dull sound.

"Is that guy going to use his wife as bait?" Her voice was filled with anger and dissatisfaction.

In her opinion, Emiya Kiritsugu's behavior was not advisable and irresponsible to Alice.

"Saber, Kiritsugu is just..." Alice tried to explain for Emiya Kiritsugu, but her words seemed so weak.

She knew that Emiya Kiritsugu's approach was the right choice, and in order to achieve ultimate victory, they had to make some sacrifices.

Altria remained silent, her heart filled with contradictions and struggles.

As a Heroic Spirit, her mission is to fight to fulfill her master's wishes.

But in the process, she also had to face some difficult decisions.

In the end, Altria decided to follow the instructions.

She drove the car into the forest, hoping to take advantage of the forest's terrain to contain Wes.

The car shuttled through the forest, raising a cloud of dust.

Wes, who was floating in the sky, saw it and followed it. He could guess that it was a trap.

But he was not afraid. In his view, this was just a contest of wisdom and strength.

Now it would depend on their own methods to determine who was the oriole and who was the mantis. The car rushed into the forest and gradually slowed down.

The rugged road surface is like a winding python, full of bumps and obstacles, and is not suitable for high-speed driving at all.

The wheels bumped over the bumpy ground, making a dull sound.

Countless light bullets shot down from the sky like meteors. They carried powerful force and instantly pierced through the branches and trees.

The originally thick branches were broken one after another by the impact of the light bullets, and the leaves fell like snowflakes.

The big tree was riddled with holes and wood chips were scattered everywhere.

Artoria drove the car, moving flexibly, trying to avoid the dense light bullets.

Her eyes were focused and calm, her hands tightly gripped the steering wheel, and she kept adjusting the direction.

However, the light bullets were too dense and hit the car one after another.

The body of the car was shaking constantly, emitting thick smoke, and it could explode at any time.

Altria made a quick decision, picked up Alice and quickly jumped out of the car.

Their figures were as light as flying birds, and they left the car that was about to be scrapped in an instant.

After landing, Altria ran into the depths of the woods without hesitation.

Alice snuggled tightly in Altria's arms.

However, a stone wall suddenly rose up in front of them, blocking their way.

"Behind!" Irisviel reminded loudly.

Her voice was filled with fear, as if she had seen something terrible.

Artoria quickly turned around and saw black flames behind her about to hit the two of them like surging waves.

A sword suddenly appeared in Altria's hand, and the scabbard shone with a mysterious light.

A barrier quickly protected Irisviel, and she drew her sword without hesitation and split the sea of fire.

The flame instantly split in two under her sword and spread to both sides.

Weiss's figure slowly appeared, a faint smile on his face.

"As expected of you, Saber, or the King of Knights." His voice was filled with admiration.

[The identity was revealed.]

The two women looked at each other, their hearts filled with surprise.

They didn't expect the other party to see through Saber's identity so quickly.

Altria pointed the holy sword Excalibur at Weiss, her eyes full of vigilance.

"Send your name."

Her voice was firm and powerful, full of authority.

Weiss spread his hands, a helpless smile on his face. "I'm not a knight."

Altria frowned.

"What a picky person," Weiss said, suddenly launching an attack.

"Disarm your weapons."

The spell instantly hit Altria, but it had no effect at all.

Altria possesses the power to neutralize magic circles and instantaneous contract magic. Modern magicians are basically unable to harm her.

Magic below A will be negated.

Combined with her Saber class, she's a complete magician killer.

"This is more interesting." Weiss held the wand in his right hand.
