The Warrior of Love

"DPS?" Mashu accompanied the Master on the mountain path. "I remember this should be a term in the game, right?"

"Yeah, Mashu is a standard MT. Not only is she reliable, but she's also cute... but we lack a powerful output method."

Li Xiang raised a finger and said excitedly: "My brother said that a good team has a healer, a tank and damage! Now we have a tank. As for healers, although Mashu is not good enough, Da Vinci is quite good, but he has no damage, so we still hope to summon a capable hero. The Mr. "Sorry" I met in France last time is quite good. "

"Although I don't understand a lot of what you said, Mr. Siegfried should also be specialized in defense, right?"

"But he can fire a flare cannon."

"By the way, I always hear you talk about your brother."

Mashu said curiously, "To be praised so highly by the senior, he must be an outstanding person."

"Hey? My brother?"

Ritsuka looked strange, "Well, it's not wrong to say he's outstanding... To be honest, even though we're a family, he and I have only been together for a little over a year, and he often travels far away, so I can't say I really know everything about him."

"Sorry, I think I asked something I shouldn't have asked." Mashu knew the general situation of Ritsuka's family, and perhaps she felt that she had touched Ritsuka's heart.

"It's okay..." Ritsuka didn't care and said in a nostalgic tone, "But that person is really special... Different from everyone I've ever met."

"is it?"

"If I hold the sword, I can't hug you. If I don't hold the sword, I can't protect you." He is the kind of person who can say those chuuni lines seriously, even though he is already a senior in high school. "

Ritsuka seemed to have thought of something, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"In his works, the flavor of Chuunibun is overflowing, but it is precisely because of this unconcealed youthfulness and innocence that his works are so popular."

"Senior said that your brother seems to be a writer?"

"Light novels, animation scripts, movie scripts, game copywriting... That guy is a genius. He is about the same age as me, but he has already made his name a popular culture in society.

Oh, Mashu may not know about this because she has been staying in Chaldea, but in my hometown, almost everyone knows about [Warrior of Love O Urobuchi]—although not in a good way.

"That's amazing. Hearing the senior say that, he is really amazing." Mashu seemed to have a great yearning for the person who existed in Ritsuka's words.

"But after all, he's just an adolescent boy. He'd be at a loss and blush when he sees me getting out of the bath, hehe."

"I think it's the senior who is too casual." Mashu forced a smile. After all, she had suffered a lot because of Ritsuka's innocent nature.

Moreover, this person is simply a femme fatale who ignores gender. In the French singularity, she even conquered the villain Dragon Witch...

"I'm so tired, haven't you arrived yet?"

After walking for an unknown amount of time on the long mountain path, Lixiang suddenly spoke in a deflated tone.

Mashu encouraged him, "Come on, senior. Once we get over this hill, we will reach the earth vein node."

Find the earth veins and build a summoning array, sign a contract with the summoned heroic spirits, and then you will have enough confidence to explore the singularity.

When they were in Fuyuki, because they only had Mashu as a sub-servant, they were almost wiped out by the enemy. Fortunately, they met the wandering Castero Cu Chulainn, who helped them turn the defeat into victory and capture the singularity.

Since then, every time I go to a singularity, I always put summoning heroic spirits first.

However, finding ley lines is indeed hard work;

"We can't help it. According to the detection results, the ley lines of this era have been polluted for some reason. They seem to be mixed with some negative energy. They can't directly power the summoning circle. If we force it to be built, we can only summon anti-heroes and evil spirits-like servants... It's too dangerous for you, senior."

Mashu explained: "The doctor said that the leyline ahead is the only uncontaminated one within a hundred miles. We have no other choice."

"No way... OK!" Ritsuka let out a long breath and cheered up, "Let's get to the target location before the sun sets, Mashu!"

-

As the sun gradually set and the shadow of the moon appeared in the sky, the two girls finally arrived at the designated leyline node.

It took a bit of time, but there was nothing that could be done about it. After all, unlike Mashu who had transformed into a sub-servant, Ritsuka was just an ordinary girl. Her strength was only above average, and her speed was not that fast.

But now that the qualified ley lines have been found, setting up the summoning circle is actually quite easy - just let Mashu take out the shield.

Perhaps even the Sub-Servant girl herself didn't know why she could summon Heroic Spirits with her shield. She just followed the doctor and Da Vinci's advice. In her opinion, perhaps the shield was connected to Chaldea's summoning system.

However, the reality is that her cross round shield is the real core!

"Declaration——"

The spell that she had spent a lot of time memorizing came out of Ritsuka's mouth skillfully, and as the words were woven, pure magic power rushed through the girl's body along the circuit, and the Command Seal emblem on the back of her hand became hot.

pain……

Even though it was not the first time, every time she summoned a Heroic Spirit, her Magic Circuit would produce a burning pain. Doctor Roman said that this was a sign that her Magic Circuit was establishing a connection with the Servant.

However, the pain today is particularly vivid...

"Hehehe! It has come as expected, it has come as expected, the Lord's prophecy was correct!"

Just as Ritsuka was summoning, a cold and evil voice interrupted her chant.

"who is it?!"

Mashu immediately stood in front of Ritsuka, looked in the direction where the voice came from, and subconsciously shook her hand. Then she realized that the shield was not in her hand, and she couldn't help but sweat.

Of course, now is the right time... The timing is so bad.

"Hehe, don't be so nervous, little girl."

The sun set, the moon hung high, and a huge and deformed body slowly emerged from the shadow of the earth.

"I am very gentle."

A spider, or more precisely, a monster with a bison's head but a spider's body. Its size exceeds that of a wyvern, and the aura it exudes is incomparable to that of a monster.

This is a demon that is close to the level of a servant, and he doesn't look like a good person at all.

"Senior, please be careful and be ready to fight at any time!" Mashu looked serious, ready to recall the shield at any time, but Ritsuka's summoning ceremony had not yet been completed...

Fortunately, the enemy in front of him is not too strong. If it is just of this level, he can be dealt with even with bare hands.

"You don't look that scared of me, the devil."

The demon who called himself Niu Gui chattered, "Well, you do look very unusual, but the black-haired girl next to you is different, right?"

Mashu's expression changed: "Don't even think about attacking Senior!"

"Huh? Don't do anything?"

The Ushigami suddenly burst into laughter: "What are you talking about? I have already completed the attack."

"Ugh?"

As soon as the words fell, the ground where the two girls were standing suddenly opened up, and strands of almost invisible spider silk shot out, binding the two girls from all directions and angles.

Mashu's hands were entangled at the first moment, and she didn't even have time to summon a shield.

This is not an attack launched by the Niu Gui now, but a trap that has been set long ago!

Caught off guard, even Mashu, a sub-servant, was entangled in the spider silk, not to mention Ritsuka, whose limbs were almost unable to move.

"It's been a long time since I've come across food that looks this delicious, and it's one that the master specifically designated to be destroyed... ahhh, I'm welcome!"

A huge shadow fell, and the cow ghost opened its ferocious mouth towards the two bound girls.

Ritsuka stretched out the only hand he could move and shouted the final words to the shield on the ground.

"The three great words of the Spirit of Heaven are coming through the Wheel of Restraint, Guardian of Libra!"

hum!

A dazzling light burst out from the shield, and circles of light spread out, causing the two girls to close their eyes involuntarily.

Clang, clang, clang——

The spider silk broke one by one with a crisp sound, and the two girls were immediately free. The cow ghost that pounced on them was also cut in the mouthparts by the sharp blade, and retreated with a shrill howl.

"Err, yeah, yeah--"

After they slowly opened their eyes, a tall, dark figure appeared in the place where the light gradually faded.

"Servant Rider: The distant mountains and rivers have responded to the call and rushed here from across the realm. Let me ask you - are you my Master?"

Chapter 105: The Four Heavenly Kings

Oh, a Kamen Rider was summoned... No, a Rider was summoned.

Great, it looks like he can fight, now we are saved.

Oh, by the way, what did he say his name was?

"Ugh?"

Ritsuka's eyes turned into small eyes like a cartoon character.

"Far, far, far away mountains..."

Because she was too shocked, the girl's brain circuit seemed to be unable to turn around, until the familiar voice came out from under the dark mask again.

"Don't be so surprised. I'll tell you later."

The knight in black armor drew a scarlet sword from his back and faced the dragon-sized demon without fear.

"Get rid of this monster first!"

While Ritsuka was still confused, the black-armored knight had already rushed out like a cheetah.

The cow ghost's hideous mouthparts had been cut by the Undead Slash. The wound, which could have been easily healed, was now bleeding profusely, making it extremely frightened. Facing the knight who came with ill intentions, it naturally did not dare to take it head-on and had to temporarily avoid the attack.

Whoosh!

The spider's half body jumped slightly, and its pairs of limbs burst out with a power far different from that of wild beasts. It retreated dozens of meters in an instant. The speed exceeded the limit of human eye's capture and even had a bit of the charm of "shaving".

However, it was not the only one that suddenly accelerated. Almost at the same time as it moved, the running Black Knight disappeared in the sonic boom, and appeared in the air above the bull ghost's head the next moment.

No... Jiang Liu seemed to have arrived "a blink of an eye" earlier, and was waiting for the bull ghost to fall into the trap, as if he had predicted its actions.

The scarlet blade light cut through the night sky, and without even a decent resistance, the bull ghost had his head chopped off.

The battle was over. Jiang Liu casually glanced at the demon corpse on the ground and turned away.

"Be careful!" Mashu screamed.

The giant spider body that had lost its head actually crawled up again, and squeezed out a new head covered with mucus from the wound on its neck.

However, this time it looks like a real spider, not a bull's head.

"You didn't expect that, human!"

A whistling wind came from behind, poisonous fangs stabbed at the black knight's back, and a huge shadow covered the river again.

"The Ushi-ki's head is just a disguise, my true form is a Tsuchigumo—"

Jiang Liu, who should have been defenseless due to the sudden attack, turned around calmly, clenched his right fist and smashed it down like a meteor hammer, hitting the head of the earth spider that was rushing up. The smaller one was extremely powerful, and the brute force directly shattered the shell of the demon and hammered the earth spider's head into the ground.

"evil!"

The earth spider let out an unpleasant groan and was unable to get up again. The spider silk and venom that it was good at were of no use at all.

It was all because Jiang Liu was too fast and fought too ferociously. This demon, which was obviously quite powerful, was suppressed the entire time and couldn't show its strength at all. It was like a poor soldier.

"Damn you humans... But don't be happy too soon. Even if you defeat me, there are still the stronger Four Heavenly Kings of "Ghosts and Monsters". They will definitely -"

"puff!"

Tears of thanksgiving penetrated Tsuchigumo’s forehead, and Jiang Liu curled his lips.

"Such a cliché line..."

After shaking off the disgusting liquid on the Immortal Slash, Jiang Liu put it back into the scabbard behind him.

The "Demon Armor" can undergo some detailed changes as needed. It is easy to make a scabbard or something like that, which is really convenient for Jiang Liu.

"Um...thank you for saving us, Mr. Rider."

Mashu came over with Ritsuka, and now she had her shield back.

Although Jiang Liu, dressed in black, looked like a villain, Mashu was not afraid since he was a servant with whom she had signed a contract and had just saved them.

Li Xiang looked doubtful, wanting to say something but hesitant. He looked at the mask and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Ah……"

He took off his helmet, revealing a strong and handsome young face. Jiang Liu looked at Lixiang with three parts of helplessness and three parts of tenderness on his lips.

"Long time no see, Ritsuka."

"Brother." The young lady stared at the face that had appeared in her dreams several times, and her breathing involuntarily stopped.
