Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

Chiron raised his longbow, put an arrow on the bowstring, and pointed the arrow straight ahead. He was aiming at the black figure fighting fiercely with Saber in the field.

The next moment, a beam of light shot up into the sky, standing out in the darkness.

"What is that!?"

Fiore's surprised voice echoed in Chiron's mind.

He also saw the beam of light and knew what it was at a glance.

"It's a Noble Phantasm. Saber used it."

Neither Saber's situation nor the magic power contained in that beam of light revealed an answer.

"Archer, I'm counting on you for support!"

"Um."

As Fiore's voice fell, Chiron released the bowstring that had been drawn long ago.

The next moment, with the sound of a sonic boom, an arrow cut through the air. This arrow that broke the sound barrier arrived at the battlefield where Saber was in the blink of an eye.

It flew straight towards the back of the black figure who was about to take the Noble Phantasm head-on...

......

Did you win in Chapter 16?

Dust flew up, and under the strong impact, the sound of iron colliding resounded throughout the wilderness.

This ultra-long-range attack should have exceeded the expectations of those present. Coupled with the power boosted by the speed, the arrow composed of magic power should theoretically be able to penetrate the victim's body before the victim can react.

At the same time, the sword in Saber's hand was already filled with magical power.

He knew that this attack came from his own support.

Although this attack stirred up layers of dust and fog that obstructed his vision, it did not cause any further impact on him.

Moreover, merely being blocked from sight did not prevent Saber's attack from completely covering everything in front of her.

Saber gripped the hilt of the sword tightly and sent the beam of light formed by the vast amount of magic power smashing in front of him and onto the enemy's head.

"Fantasy Greatsword, Balmung!"

The beam of light fell, and the moment it touched the ground, a huge torrent of magic power hit everything in front of it. The ultra-large-scale [Light Cannon] completely covered the enemy and everything under its feet.

......

"Did Saber win?"

Fiore's voice came to my mind again.

Chiron scanned the battlefield with his eyes and was very sure that his arrow had hit the attacker accurately.

And being hit from the back by himself without any preparation, and swallowing Saber's Noble Phantasm in its entirety, theoretically speaking, even if it was a Servant, the final result should at least be serious injuries.

If nothing unexpected happens...

Chiron frowned, his eyes closely monitoring everything around Saber.

"No, Master, it's not over yet."

"Eh?"

Fiore's surprised voice came to my mind, and just by listening to the tone, I could imagine the expression on the girl's face at this moment.

"Master, if possible, I recommend that you take your brother back to the fortress next."

Chiron looked serious. Although he and his master were on opposite sides of each other at the moment and the other party could not see his expression, the meaning of his words was clear.

The following battle is no longer something the Master can intervene in.

......

"Eh, but?"

After hearing Chiron's advice, Fiore's face was suddenly filled with confusion.

"What's wrong, sister? What did Archer say?"

At this moment, a male voice came from her ear. The girl turned her head and met the inquiring eyes of the boy next to her.

The boy's name is Corles Forain Yugdomirenia.

He is also one of the Masters of this Holy Grail War. He is the Master of Black Berserker and, at the same time, Fiore's biological brother.

"Ugh, woo!"

Next to Colles was a pink-haired girl wearing a pure white dress like a wedding gown, with a black veil fluttering in the wind behind her.

There is a strange metal horn on the girl's forehead, and her pink bangs are divided into two by the horn. Because of the slightly long length, it is almost impossible for others to see her eyes clearly. There are also cylindrical golden metal objects of the same material on both sides of her ears.

The girl didn't utter a single word, but only hummed a lot of interjections.

Although she looked very cute, what she held in her hand was actually a metal hammer that was nearly as long as her body.

The pink-haired girl, dressed in an outfit that should not appear in such a scene, also held a metal hammer that looked very lethal.

There is no doubt that this girl's identity is not ordinary.

Frankenstein is the girl's name, and her identity is the Servant of Corless, the Black Berserker.

It is the nameless monster, the artificial life form created by Dr. Victor Frankenstein in Mary Shelley's novel.

In this world, this Frankenstein has the appearance of a weak girl.

If Shul himself saw it, he would probably be somewhat surprised.

"Archer said that Saber is in danger right now, and he wants you and I to go back first, and then he, your Berserker, will continue to provide support."

Charon's words were no secret, and as an older sister, Fiore would have been worried about her brother's safety.

Moreover, the mission of supporting Saber was originally assigned to Colles and his Berserker, and Fiore just joined in on her own initiative.

At this time she was wearing a magic costume.

The magic device on her back operates four tentacles, allowing her to move swiftly and recklessly, and each tentacle is a powerful weapon.

In addition, with Fiore's magical talent, she can display amazing strength with the help of this magic costume.

But facing a Servant-level battle, her strength is no match for him, which is why Charon advised her to go back.

"Oh, but..."

"I trust Archer's judgment."

Looking at the puzzled Colles, Fiore's face was full of her trust in her Servant, and her brother could also see what his sister wanted to express.

"In that case..."

Looking at his sister who was so serious, Colles finally had no choice but to sigh, and then he turned his head and looked at his Servant.

"Berserker, you'll go on and provide support alone from now on, okay?"

"Mmm!"

Fran nodded vigorously. It seemed that she also agreed to keep her Master away from the battlefield.

After watching the pure white figure disappear into the night, Coles and his sister set out on their return journey.

But in the shadows where no one noticed, a dark figure flashed by...

......

----

......

"Ha ha......"

Saber's hands gripping the hilt of the sword trembled slightly. He suddenly stuck the sword into the ground, using it to support his nearly exhausted body, trying not to look too embarrassed.

At the same time, the green gem embedded in the hilt of the sword was emitting a faint green light under the night sky. The magic power hidden in it was slowly channeled out, nourishing Saber's body that was almost drained of magic power.

In the endless offensive and defensive battle just now, he had indeed lost a lot of his magic power to the opponent.

In addition, now that he has used his Noble Phantasm, it is understandable that he has become in this state.

Looking at the barren ground left behind by the bombardment of her Noble Phantasm, and the black figure no longer existing around her, Saber finally let out a slow breath.

After just a few seconds, Saber, who had recovered somewhat, stood up and pulled the sword out of the ground. He did not choose to put the weapon back into the scabbard on his back, as he still did not let his guard down.

At this moment, he was reviewing the battle just now in his mind.

Because of the close combat, he was absolutely certain that the opponent was not a Servant.

In other words, the opponent was relying solely on his own strong body and extraordinary martial arts to fight against a servant like himself.

From his perspective, he and the other party were evenly matched.

However, precisely because he was involved, he was able to discover the strangeness of this battle, and he was absolutely sure that the opponent had not been defeated.

At this moment, Saber's eyes were still searching the surroundings, and he tried his best to capture every movement in his perception.

However, a minute passed, and the surroundings were still extremely quiet, as if Saber was the only one left in this area.

have they gone?

Even someone as cautious as Saber began to doubt whether the other party had really left.

However, just as he had this thought, the sound of an object cutting through the air suddenly appeared behind him.

At the same time, when he was about to try to intercept with his weapon, the same attack as the previous one hit him again behind him, at the place where the sound came from.

boom--! ! !

really!

Saber certainly understood that this attack was still a supporting attack from her own Archer.

Without hesitation, he immediately chose to use the impact of the bombardment to leap forward and quickly increase the distance

During the leap, he finally had the opportunity to turn around and look at the original place.

Then, he saw the purple sword that was already within reach, and the pitch-black cloak that was completely intact, not even a speck of dust on it...

......

Chapter 17: White Space

Somewhere no one knows.

There is only [white] here. Looking around, there is no end to the [white]. There is nothing in it, it is vast and boundless. Even the [sky] is empty. There is only [white]. It is a veritable [pure white space].

In such a pure white space, a touch of green becomes particularly conspicuous.

It was a woman wearing a green long dress and with smooth green hair. She was lying comfortably on the white floor, her eyes closed and breathing slowly. It seemed that she was still dreaming, like a sleeping beauty.

But the next protagonist is someone else.

I saw that not far away, a ball of golden energy appeared out of thin air in this space and quickly condensed into shape. The next second, a golden door suddenly appeared in this space, with its door wide open, at a right angle, facing the ground.

Then, a fat figure fell out and crashed to the ground below.

"Whaaaaaah——!!"

boom--!

The man let out a terrified scream and his body fell straight to the ground.

“Woo-hoo!”

I don't know if it was because the fat on the man's body acted as a buffer, but the door was clearly four meters above the ground, but this man was able to sit up as if nothing had happened after falling to the ground at such a distance, covering the place where he was hurt and crying out in pain.

After throwing the man out, the golden gate disappeared as quickly as it came.

At this point, there were no other abnormalities in this space.

"Where...is this place?"

Gold looked at the white space in confusion, feeling extremely panicked.
