Or, why don’t you find another savior?

Then, without any hesitation, she was picked up by Nightingale again and evacuated from the hill.

But Karna didn't even look at them, he just stared at the master and disciple in front of him: "With you master and disciple as enemies, this battle will be flawless."

That being said, Shiomi doesn't think that Karna is the only enemy they have, as Helena and Edison may join the battle at any time.

Therefore, his goal was not to kill Karna here, but to stop him and the two Casters together, leaving Kallen and the others enough time to retreat.

"Don't hold me back, Master." Xijian joked.

"How dare you say that—"

As they talked and laughed, the two guns separated and turned into two red lights, heading straight for Karna.

Chapter 51: Perfect

The same spear cut through the air, striking the golden spear and shoulder armor, emitting a dazzling burst of fire.

In terms of speed alone, Karna is no worse than the master and disciple in front of him, but since they both have the same agility, if he dodges one of them, he will be stabbed by the other.

Then use armor to defend yourself. This was Karna's instant judgment.

"He made the most appropriate decision in an instant... He is worthy of being the hero praised in epic poems."

Shiomi's spear hit the shoulder armor and bounced off. Karna caught the tip of his spear and held up the golden spear with his other hand to block Scathach's attack.

"I am the one who should express admiration. I never thought that thousands of years in the future, there would be such a tragic warrior." Karna said.

He tried to take advantage of this opportunity to take away Shiomi's weapon, but their strength was equally matched and they remained in a stalemate. He could not be considered an ordinary human magus at all.

"Hero of charity, have you forgotten something?" Scathach chuckled.

She stepped back half a step, and the force of the two golden and red spears against each other suddenly weakened. Shiomi seized this momentary imbalance, and he rotated the spear caught by Karna, causing a series of sparks in the opponent's hand.

The two spears advanced again, flanking Karna in the center.

"drink--!"

Karna shouted, and flaming magic instantly ignited, filling the air with a slight smell of burning. The pale hero moved his spear vigorously, spun his body, and set off a storm of fire, forcing the master and disciple to retreat.

Edison and Helena, who were still nearby, also distanced themselves at this time to avoid being involved in the battle.

Both of them are Casters, and they are not good at hand-to-hand combat. Even if they want to intervene, they should use long-range means. But it is obvious that this battle is not a situation they can participate in.

Coming as a Lancer class meant that Karna would live up to his reputation as a world-renowned hero in spearmanship.

However, he is not the only one who possesses the spear skills that can reach the divine realm.

Although the owners of the two red spears were temporarily forced back by Karna's fire-type magic, they immediately rushed forward again like a tide, stabbing, sweeping, and slashing, each spear faster than the last.

Even though Karna blocked every attack smoothly, his counterattacks and defenses began to show flaws due to the perfect cooperation between the two.

Scathach and Shiomi's attacks were extremely coordinated. When Karna defended against Scathach's spear, Shiomi would seize this moment to attack, and vice versa.

The two men did not give Karna any time to breathe. His defense circle was shrunk step by step, as if it was compressed to the extreme by two red tornadoes. Even the smooth use of the golden spear in his hand was hindered.

Karna's counterattacks were always unable to be fully exerted due to the limited distance, but he was also unable to increase the distance.

At this moment, Shiomi took a firm step forward and with the smallest movement deflected Karna's counterattack with the spear, thrusting directly at Karna's vital points, aiming to cut his artery and pierce his forehead.

As it should be.

However, Karna dodged the attack with a slight movement at the last moment, and the blade only grazed his pale face, leaving a shallow scar.

But it was not a pity, because Scathach had already turned to hold the middle of the spear and stabbed it towards Karna's heart from the shortest distance.

As expected, although he took advantage of the rare flaw to hit the target, he failed to penetrate the body.

"The golden armor doesn't cover as little as it looks." Scathach exclaimed in a low voice.

This is a defensive treasure that Karna's mother asked his father, the sun god Surya, for when he was alive. It is made of light itself, so even the gods cannot destroy it.

"I never thought I would be pushed to this point. Even the enemy is admirable." Karna said, and the magic power of the fire wrapped around his body surged.

He brandished his spear, and when the two men's attack failed and the next attack had not yet begun, he flicked the two spears away again. A fireball appeared in his left hand, and the moment it was crushed, it turned into dozens of smaller flaming missiles, rushing towards Shiomi and Scathach.

This attack could only be considered a small test of his skills, but it allowed Karna to distance himself from the other man as they swung their spears to knock down all the flaming missiles.

"Since they are weapons of the same type, there is no advantage for me." Karnataka stood with his spear.

Shiomi glanced at his master on the other side, who was holding the gun with both hands and holding it horizontally in front of him: "Your marksmanship is sharp and your fighting spirit is clear. You are definitely not someone who fights for your own selfish interests. Since you are a hero who will leave your name to future generations and carve yourself into human history, you should understand the consequences of Edison's words!"

"That man's behavior is indeed tantamount to rebellion against human history, but I cannot betray my friends. If your behavior is correct, our paths will eventually cross again." Karna calmly acknowledged Shiomi's accusation, but also rejected Shiomi's persuasion.

"So how do you plan to deal with this, Karna?" Scathach turned the magic spear and hid the weapon behind her. "If I were alone, I wouldn't say I could take you down, but now that I have my beloved disciple by my side, this place might become your burial place."

Karna closed his eyes slightly, smiled quietly, and thrust his spear into the ground:

"The tussle of weapons is but a prelude. A true hero kills with his eyes—!"

As he spoke with confidence, magic power suddenly accumulated in Karna's head and his left eye began to burn.

Then, a laser beam suddenly shot towards Shiomi.

"Tsk——!"

Shiomi raised her gun to block it, and the laser landed squarely on the gun, splashing out in all directions, causing a series of explosions, and burning Shiomi's body the moment it landed.

The Noble Phantasm, "O Brahma, cover the earth."

But it was far more than just one attack. Karna turned his head slightly, and the second laser turned into a thin sharp blade, sweeping towards Scathach's neck.

Scathach bent backwards and barely avoided it, but her long hair that was blown by the wind was cut off a little, leaving a burnt mark on the end of her hair.

The laser swept across the ground, melting the soil and hard rock into lava.

When Scathach stood up again, Karna had already approached with his magic power and dropped a spear wrapped in flames. This attack was unavoidable. Even if it didn't kill her, it would still cause damage.

Karna took advantage of the gap left by Scathach in an unexpected way and launched an attack.

But Scathach is not the only one on the battlefield. When you attack one of them, you will inevitably be targeted from behind by the other.

The vines broke out of the ground and densely rushed towards Karna's body, wrapping him up, but they could only block him for a moment before being burned into ashes by the released magic power.

This was enough, and when Karna's spear fell, it only hit the ground.

Chapter 52: Bold and Fearless

Looking at the shattered land and the vines that were burned to ashes, Karna turned his head.

Xijian held Scathach in one hand and landed about ten meters away, and with the other hand he stuck the gun into the ground to stop his sliding.

"You reacted quickly. If you were a little slower, I would have been seriously injured." Scathach touched the end of the burnt hair and cut off that part casually.

"It's obviously just some minor injuries, but you insist on describing them as serious." Xijian let her go and raised his gun to prepare to meet the enemy.

"Then why did you come to my aid? You could have taken this opportunity to activate your Noble Phantasm from behind and at least hurt Karna to some extent," Scathach asked.

"It's hard to say. The golden armor bestowed by the sun god Surya is definitely not something that can be penetrated so easily." Xi Jian shook his head. "Besides, if I fight alongside Master and Master gets injured first, even if it's not a serious matter, I will have nightmares."

"The other party has activated their treasure, and we have also prepared magic." Scathach laughed after hearing this and said, "Nightingale and your daughter have gone far away. We can retreat at any time."

Shiomi raised her eyebrows: "Will he let us retreat so easily? Besides, there are two servants watching this side."

"That's right." Scathach nodded in agreement, "Looks like we have to change our tactics."

"Master, please first——"

Shiomi said this half-jokingly, but rushed out to fight against Karna who was coming to kill him.

This time the offense and defense were switched, and when Shiomi fought against Karna alone, he felt that this guy's strength was surprisingly strong.

It's probably not just because of his extraordinary physical strength, it should be related to his unique release of fire-type magic.

Shiomi raised his gun to block, watching the burning golden spear getting closer and closer. His eyes widened with anger, magic power flowed through his arm, and then he stretched out his right foot and stomped on the ground.

Several runes quickly lit up, surprising Karna.

In the previous battle, he actually had the energy to set up runes on the battlefield.

A light blue light suddenly appeared and enveloped Karna's body, wrapping up his body wrapped in flames, and enveloping both him and the fire.

Karna was bound and had lost his ability to attack, so he was fixed in place, and Shiomi retreated.

He knew that this great magic could not cause effective harm to Karna, and that the restriction on his actions was only temporary.

The frozen ice has begun to crack.

"Well done." Scathach stretched out her hand, her palm facing the frozen Karna.

The next second, Karna's flames cracked the ice that wrapped his body, but several lightning balls fell from the sky. Karna was unable to dodge and decisively relied on his magic power and golden armor to withstand it.

The explosion dug a big hole in the hill. Karna stood in the hole with white smoke coming out of his body, but there was not even a stain left on his golden armor or white hair, and the wound on his face had disappeared.

"He is not just a warrior, but also a top magician." Karna jumped out of the pit and landed on the other side. "I see, the legend of the Shadow Kingdom is true."

Shiomi frowned and looked at Karna with mixed feelings.

This man is indeed too difficult to deal with, and he is not as careless as Gilgamesh. If Shiomi and Scathach want to kill Karna here, they will have to pay a heavy price.

And more importantly, the situation is not yet irreversible.

Only Edison clearly expressed his intention to use the Holy Grail to realize his ambitions. Neither Helena nor Karna nodded in agreement.

This means there is still room for maneuver.

Forcibly killing such a top servant here would not only incur heavy costs, but would also result in the loss of someone who could be a great help in repairing the fifth singularity.

"Planning to retreat? Then let me cover your rear." said Scathach.

"What?" Xi Jian was stunned. He didn't expect that his master had already guessed his thoughts.

"After you retreat to a safe distance, use the Command Spell to transfer me." Scathach gave another plan, "I know you love talent and are reluctant to give up that man's power, so I plan to take a long-term approach."

"That's not the way to put it. Master's wording is so strange." Xi Jian took a half step back. He agreed with his master's plan.

With the Master blocking the way, Shiomi was able to use teleportation magic to quickly retreat to a distance where he could not be pursued, and then activate the Command Spell.

"So--"

Scathach raised her voice, raised her left hand, and five magic spears floated above her head, ready to be fired at Karna at the command.

At this moment, a series of explosions occurred on the hill, stunning both sides.

Then a huge carriage without horses was seen flying out and heading straight towards Karna.

Without any hesitation, Karna raised his hand and the golden spear cut the carriage in half.

The problem then arises, this is not just a carriage, it is filled with barrels of explosives, which were cracked by Karna's blow and exploded after landing.

By the time Karna swung his spear to disperse the thick smoke and dust in the sky, Shiomi and Scathach had long disappeared, leaving only a few crow feathers floating in the wind.

Karna raised his hand to borrow one of the pieces and said calmly, "It's a very precise time to retreat."

"You let them go." Helena walked over briskly and said to Karna.

"No, I can't keep them anyway. Besides, there's a third person helping out. In terms of magic alone, that young man is far superior to you."

"This is really good news. After all, we can't persuade Edison on our own." Helena laughed and looked at Edison.

The President is now furious that someone has set a bomb in the field where the phalanx is stationed. Although no one inside was hurt, many mechanical soldiers were temporarily unable to move.

Deep in the forest more than ten kilometers away.

"They didn't catch up." Scathach looked in the direction of the battlefield.

"Even if we want to catch up, it's not that easy at this distance." Shiomi raised her hand and touched Scathach's hair hanging on her chest. "It was burned a little just now, but Master is a servant, so he will recover soon."

"You noticed that Karna's face was scratched by you," Scathach said, "Even if this gun doesn't release its true name, it still carries a certain degree of curse, but that man was able to remove it."

"Karna's golden armor..." Xijian patted his body, "It's another extraordinary treasure."

The Noble Phantasm burned through the Chaldea battle uniform and left wounds on Shiomi's skin, but he was almost there, and the wounds had healed long ago.

"It's almost time to meet up with Kallen and the others—" He was about to discuss the next steps with Scathach.

An Indian shaman with a green cloak in his hands walked out of the woods.

"As for those two, they are on their way to our camp. Don't worry, they made their own decisions at this time." The shaman explained in a gentle and rational tone and introduced himself, "Geronimo, a Caster-class Servant."
