Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

Just after Xiuer said this, Ruler discovered that the golden meteor that was originally hanging in the sky had secretly crossed the sky above their heads and fell to the ground in front of them.

Deafening noises and violent earthquakes were transmitted here from far ahead on the road.

Xiuer ignored the vibration of the ground and stood steadily on the ground, but Ruler was not so lucky. The amplitude of the vibration was too large, making it difficult for her to keep her body steady. She had to half-squat on the ground to avoid falling.

A beam of white light appeared in the distance on the other side of the field, and the rich magical power immediately attracted Ruler's attention.

"That's, a Noble Phantasm!?"

At the same time, Ruler saw that the item on the head of the person in front of her, which she originally thought was a [headdress], suddenly unfolded, and a colorful ring suddenly appeared on the girl's head.

The wind was howling, and the originally windless environment was suddenly filled with chaotic airflow, and Xuer's position was the center of this strong wind that appeared out of nowhere.

At this time, Ruler, who had already noticed something was wrong, had already retreated a distance, leaving his luggage on the side of the road, his eyes fixed on the other party's every move.

However, the storm was so fierce that she couldn't open her eyes. She had no choice but to cover her eyes with her hands to see a little. Her golden hair kept flying in the turbulent airflow.

Her original attire had long since changed from casual clothes to a set of semi-covered armor.

Being able to change between casual clothes and armor at any time is an essential skill for all servants.

A flagpole appeared in Ruler's hand, but she was blinded by the airflow and could not find the other party immediately.

At this moment, she also realized that the visitor had ill intentions.

Just as she was trying to dispel the influence of the airflow, an object suddenly hit her side.

She quickly turned her head to check, and saw a strange white-haired man in golden armor and tights standing out from the pit that had just been dug.

Ruler looked at the newcomer out of curiosity, and the newcomer also noticed his gaze and looked over.

At this moment, their eyes met, and they recognized each other's identities.

"You are the Lancer of the Red Team?!"

......

At the same time, while Ruler was surprised by the newcomer, Shuul also welcomed a newcomer.

"[Reminder] Number 1, your progress is a bit slow."

Listening to the words of the visitor, "Xiul" just shrugged.

"[Rebuttal] Tonight isn't the 'end', and 'we' don't need to be too focused on efficiency, No. 4."

After saying that, "Xiul" turned around and looked at the figure next to him, who looked exactly like him.

......

Chapter 13: Useless Ruler

“…can’t argue with that.”

After listening to what Number One said, Number Four thought about it and finally gave this response.

"right."

Seeing that Number One also agreed with his point of view, a happy smile appeared on his face.

"Besides, hiding your identity is completely unnecessary in this world, right? You guys are just like me, always wearing a stern face and even using a specific tone when you speak..."

As if he had opened a chatterbox, after the initial communication, No. 1 began to complain.

But it was obvious that No. 4 didn't want to continue listening. He directly interrupted No. 1 who was still chattering.

"[Reminder] If you have anything to say, you can communicate directly in the [channel]. This is a battlefield, and the mission takes priority."

After leaving behind these words, Number Four disappeared from the spot. At the same time, a roar was heard again from the Lancer in front. It was the sound of Number Four engaging in battle with Karna again.

The two collided, and because No. 4's initial kinetic energy was extremely high at the time of contact, Karna's body was also pushed off the ground by the opponent, and was forced to fly far behind with No. 4.

Here, only Number One and Ruler were left. Number Four's departure did not affect the size of the hurricane. Ruler was still in a mess in the wind, and the sound of the previous conversation was not heard by Ruler because it was integrated into the storm.

She didn't know who the figure that arrived here in the wind just now was. She only knew that the person came here chasing the red team's Lancer.

Moreover, the other party seemed to know the person who told him a lot of information.

During the brief exchange between No. 1 and No. 4, Ruler was not idle either. After discovering that the person who hit her was Lancer from the red team, she immediately asked him about the whole situation.

However, Lancer did not resolve her doubts, because even Lancer himself did not know what had happened.

Just when Ruler wanted to find out more, the person on the other side moved. The person who had chased Lancer here flew away with Lancer.

Although the strong wind that had originally blew her so hard that she couldn't see through it had weakened a lot with that person's departure, and although its scale was still as exaggerated, fortunately, Ruler could now stand firm in such a storm.

And at this moment, she also deduced the general whole story from Lancer's experience.

"Who are you and why are you disrupting the Holy Grail War?!"

Ruler raised her lance and took a fighting stance. She stared at the figure in the hurricane and asked this question.

Who are you?

This was the third time Ruler repeated these words in less than an hour.

The result this time was the same as the previous two times, and "Xiul" No. 1 did not respond to this question.

"Why are you all the same as me?"

At this point, Number One shook his head with a helpless smile on his face.

"[Reminder] Number One, stop wasting time."

At this moment, a voice sounded in the Channel No. 1 at the right time. There was no doubt that it was the voice of Xuer himself.

This sudden remark made Number One stunned for a moment, and then he put away his leisurely attitude.

"Okay, now that I've spoken."

As he said this, a ball of blue energy emerged in his palm. It was a tiny energy condensate with a radius of less than half a centimeter.

Because of the hurricane, Rulrr didn't see his movements clearly, but she still noticed the movement that seemed like magic.

"[Correction] It doesn't matter who we are... and our purpose isn't to disrupt the Holy Grail War."

That was the voice that Number One deliberately guided into Ruler's ears on the wind. Number One was finally willing to answer Ruler's question.

The power of the wind spirit should be able to do this kind of thing.

As he spoke, Number One's body slowly rose into the sky accompanied by a hurricane.

But such an answer could not convince Ruler, because the other party's actions were completely intended to intervene in this Holy Grail War.

No matter what, even for the sake of his own job, Ruler must eliminate those unstable factors that disrupt the Holy Grail War.

In this case, the only option is to fight.

Without waiting for No. 1 to make the next move, Ruler took the lead in launching an attack

She exerted force with her feet, leaped high from the cracked ground, and the powerful thrust allowed her to ignore the ubiquitous strong wind, and rushed towards the one that had already floated high in the sky at a rapid speed.

Ruler understood that in this situation, simple words would not be enough to convince the other party, and the only way was to fight.

No matter what the other party's purpose is, as long as they want to disrupt the Holy Grail War, she will do her best to defeat them in order to maintain the stability of the Holy Grail War.

Wow, he actually offered it to me on his own initiative.

Not paying any attention to the Ruler who was rapidly approaching from below, Number One in the air just calmly retrieved the information about Ruler.

Of course, before the action, the information about the characters had already been made public on their channel, and all the clones had obtained the information provided by the original body.

As for Number One assigned to Ruler, he had naturally recorded all of the other party's information before setting off.

Real name: Joan of Arc.

Job Description: Ruler

Strength B

Durability B

Agility A

Magic A

Lucky C

Magic Resistance EX, True Name Discovery B, Divine Judgment A.

Revelation A, Leadership C, Saint B.

......

All the information about the opponent is in Shul's hands. It must be said that as a Ruler, the skills possessed by the opponent do have an extraordinary advantage in servant battles.

True Name Recognition can directly identify a Servant's true name and all information, unless the Servant has a similar Noble Phantasm that hides its own information.

Divine Judgment is aimed at the passive ability of the Servants. This ability gives Ruler the right to strike two Command Seals on all Servants participating in the Holy Grail War. Of course, this is calculated separately from the Master's Command Seals. The two are not the same and cannot be replaced with each other.

And the data on the panel is also good enough.

But to be honest, to Shuel, Jeanne d'Arc is far less attractive than other servants in this Holy Grail War.

His goal is the [Noble Phantasm].

And Jeanne d'Arc's Noble Phantasm was dispensable to him.

The Noble Phantasm [Luminosite Eternelle] and the Noble Phantasm [La Pucelle].

The effects of these two are really good.

[My Lord is Here] converts EX-level magic resistance into physical defense of the same level. This means that after using this Noble Phantasm, the target granted by the Noble Phantasm will gain nearly invincible top-level physical and magical resistance.

In contrast, the [Saint of Crimson Lotus] is even simpler and more brutal, and can release attacks that destroy everything, but the price is that after using this treasure, Joan of Arc will also lose her life.

To be honest, regardless of the specific damage of this [Destroy Everything] attack, Xuul himself has various powerful attack methods.

To put it more bluntly, my lord here is just a treasure that enhances defense. Although the intelligence says that it is equivalent to invincibility, Xuer is also convinced that this so-called "invincibility" is not as good as his own "No Passage".

The Ex-Machina's original No Passage skill is a powerful defensive skill, and it also has the property that the smaller the coverage area, the stronger the defensive ability.

After the system was strengthened, even if Xuer completely covered his entire body with it, it would be enough to withstand any attack.

So in the end, this Joan of Arc was worthless to him.

The reason why he sent his clone to contact her was simply because of her status as a Servant.

Speaking of which, unlike other servants, Joan of Arc's [body] at this time is also somewhat special. Her body is real flesh.

She was summoned in the form of someone else's body, which means that under the "skin" of this Servant, there is an innocent ordinary person.

Although it is known that when the Holy Grail War ends and Joan of Arc leaves, or if Joan of Arc dies on the way, the body of this innocent person, no matter how much damage it has suffered, will be restored to its original state and forcibly transferred to a nearby safe place.

Simply put, no matter what Joan of Arc suffered, it would not affect the original owner of this body.

But even so, Xuel had to take this issue seriously, so he specifically instructed No. 1, who was responsible for Joan of Arc, to be gentle.

After all, although it can recover any injuries, Xuel's attack is beyond the reach of this world.

After all, driven by his conscience, Xiuer didn't want to harm innocent people.

At this moment, Joan of Arc had already arrived. She stretched out one hand and raised the gun with the other, ready to stab, as if she wanted to shoot Number One down from the air.

Faced with this situation, Number One's actions were indeed calm and unhurried. He just moved casually and directly dodged the opponent's throwing skills.

Looking at Joan of Arc who was free falling because of missing the target, Number One immediately threw the energy ball in his hand at the figure falling to the ground.

You are lucky because your special situation prevents you from suffering too much.

Number One thought so in his heart.

"—[Dian Kai]—[Binder]—"

The blue sphere that flew towards Jeanne d'Arc gradually lengthened along the way, eventually transforming into a pitch-black chain with a diamond-shaped blade at the front.

This pitch-black chain flew towards Joan of Arc in a snake-like trajectory, and in the latter's astonished eyes, it wrapped around the other's arm holding the flagpole.

Chapter 14: The Same Person Appearing in Everyone's Eyes

midnight--

An urgent female voice was heard from the Black side's fortress.
