Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

If Vlad wanted to escape from No. 7's control under such circumstances, it would undoubtedly be a very difficult thing, but fortunately, Vlad was not alone.

Ok?

Number Seven noticed that his detector showed a high-speed flying object heading straight towards him.

Is this direction the Black Acher?

Number Seven had already discerned the true nature of the flying object. It was an unusual arrow, and its flying speed was completely beyond the reach of an arrow.

According to the direction the arrow came from, it came from the top of the fortress. At this time, the only person standing on the top was Acher, who had previously assisted Black Saber in sniping No. 5.

It was probably because I sent Rider over there, and he casually gave up helping Saber and turned to assist Lancer.

Number Seven quickly analyzed the current situation, and the arrow took advantage of the opportunity when Number Seven did not make any other moves to break into the space surrounded by strong winds, and resisted the interference all the way to the target.

pound--!

The arrow's target wasn't Seven himself, but the point where Seven and Flagg came into contact, the weapons of the two colliding.

When Chiron saw the external features of Number Seven, he understood that the man who attacked the fortress belonged to the same faction as the man who fought Saber in the field, and that he had the same body shape and attire.

Although the weapons, magic, and fighting styles used in the battle were different, Chiron still saw several similarities between the two, so he was basically able to confirm it.

This level of attack can only have a slight impact on the opponent. Chiron had a deep understanding of this when he assisted Saber in sniping No. 5, so the purpose of this arrow was to help his own Lancer break free from No. 7's control.

The arrow accurately avoided the body of Number Seven that was blocking its path and hit Vlad's spear.

It was also because of this that the originally balanced force was broken. Because of the sudden addition of the third force, Vlad's body shifted from above Number Seven.

Air combat is Number Seven's home turf. Chiron's purpose is very clear. The most important thing at the moment is to rescue Vlad back to earth.

If the opponent continues to carry Vlad upwards like this, they will soon be out of Romania's territory, and Vlad will lose the blessing of his [Passive].

In addition, at high altitude, letting Vlad, who has no foothold, face No. 7 who can fly flexibly in the air, it is obvious what the result will be.

However, although Chiron's judgment was correct, he also overlooked one issue, that is, whether No. 7 would let go of the prey in his hand.

It was just a deviation in distance, but it did not prevent him from continuing to fly high into the sky with the prey in his hand.

Unless, that Acher can create more interference.

Chiron was well aware of this. He was originally going to shoot more than one arrow, but the situation that followed made him no longer able to consider the safety of his teammates.

because......

whoosh-

Sensing the danger coming, Chiron suddenly evacuated the previous position. Just as he left his original position, something brushed past him.

boom--! !

Some high-speed flying object pierced through the top of the fortress's tower, erasing a corner of the fortress like an eraser. There was the place where Black Acher had stood a few seconds ago, but now, not even a trace of it was left.

Chiron, who was standing in the remaining position on the top of the fortress, was unable to see the original appearance of the flying object. He could only feel the residual pain on his face after being cut by the strong wind. He didn't know the specific direction of the attack, so he could only look in the general direction, hoping to confirm the enemy's position.

"Master, don't come back."

At this moment, Chiron finally confirmed the intensity of the danger. This so-called position was no longer safe. No matter what the other Masters did, he had to take care of the safety of his own Master.

He was now unable to escape and could only send these words through the connection between the Servant and the Master.

Chiron looked at the ten wind arrows flying towards him through the sky and had no choice but to make this choice.

Boom boom boom——!

The sturdy fortress that originally stood on the plain was cut off from its top by ten [hurricanes] in an instant. Some of the people in the fortress were lucky enough to survive, while the others turned into fragments of the blood rain falling from the sky.

Chiron landed on the ground in the dust and looked at the fortress in front of him, which was half in ruins, with surprise in his eyes.

It was not until the moment of the attack that he finally saw the true appearance of the flying objects: ten huge assault rifles swept by the strong wind.

Such strange arrows are not uncommon in the Holy Grail War.

Could it be the Red Acher's Noble Phantasm?

Such a question arose in Chiron's mind, but no one could help him answer it, and there were more important things at the moment that prevented him from caring about this problem.

"Master, where are you now?"

He sent a message to his Master through the contact again, but for some reason, Fiore did not respond to his call for a long time.

What happened?

Such an unusual situation made Chiron feel nervous. Although Chiron knew that his Master Fiore was not safe now through the connection between the Master and the Servant, the situation where no one was calling for help was not a good thing.

"Master! Fiore!?......"

Chiron ran into the fortress, confirmed the situation of other Masters stationed in the fortress, and at the same time kept calling out to his own Master.

Until, a strange voice came from above his head.

"[Notice] Your Master will no longer respond."

......

第二十三话 1v1。1v2！1v3？

The sound of iron clashing was endless, and on this field, two figures, one white and one black, were constantly colliding.

pound--!

There was another violent collision, and this time the result was that the silver-white swordsman flew backwards and created a big hole on a small mound.

Ultimately, because her body was overwhelmed and her magic power was overdrawn, Black Saber was no longer able to withstand the enemy's attacks with the same energy as before.

The attack that knocked him away was also extremely fierce. If he was hit by such a giant sword, theoretically, he would be cut into two pieces or turned into a meat patty if not cut into two pieces by one sword.

Although the bodies of servants are not mortal bodies, and most servants have protective Noble Phantasms, the actual [hardness] of each servant is different due to the different strengths of the Noble Phantasms.

After all, Noble Phantasms are also sublimated from the Servant's [history] or [legend]. Even mythical characters can become Servant, and some [immortal] legends can also be transformed into Servant's [Noble Phantasms].

Coincidentally, Black Saber also has this kind of defensive Noble Phantasm.

Its name is [Armor of Fafnir].

Black Saber's real name is Siegfried, the great hero and dragon slayer who appeared in "The Song of the Nibelungs".

This Noble Phantasm is the embodiment of the story of "Drenched in the Blood of a Dragon".

Its effect is a powerful defensive effect that can invalidate all attacks below B level, and greatly weaken attacks above B level. This effect is not yet included in Siegfried's defense.

As a servant, this extraordinary treasure also provides Siegfried with a strong fighting power guarantee.

This is also the reason why Siegfried has not suffered any other injuries despite fighting such a high-intensity battle with Shor No. 5 until now, except for being covered in dust and looking embarrassed.

However, as I just said, the Noble Phantasm is the embodiment of the Servant's life story, so if it is carried with it, the [weaknesses] in the story will also be [inherited].

Therefore, in battles between Servants, it is necessary to keep your [Real Name] secret, because knowing your real name will help them find out your story and further understand your weaknesses.

Just like in the story, the weakness of this Black Saber is his back.

Because this is a weakness in the [setting], which is equivalent to a [conceptual curse]. No matter what kind of defense he takes, Siegfried's back will always be his fatal weakness and it cannot be avoided.

But at this moment, Siegfried should not be worried about this.

"Ha ha......"

The silver swordsman relied on the weapon in his hand to support himself and was able to stand up again.

His [Magic] reserves were running low.

If we use a machine as an analogy, no matter how powerful a Servant or a Noble Phantasm is, they still need a supply of [Magic Power] to operate stably.

If the magic power that serves as the [energy source] is exhausted and not replenished, unlike a [power-off] machine, except for some Servants who can replenish their own magic power due to specific abilities, the Servants' [Spiritual Base] will dissipate and they will withdraw from the Holy Grail War.

Coincidentally, Siegfried did have this [item], but his [Self-Recovery] could not be fully restored instantly.

He had already consumed a lot of magic power due to the high-intensity battle with Shul No. 5, and after releasing a Noble Phantasm at the order of his master, he was fighting with the opponent again until now.

His magical reserves were finally about to be exhausted.

"Death from exhaustion in a battle with a powerful enemy? Such an outcome is not difficult to accept."

Knowing his own physical condition, Siegfried unconsciously had these thoughts in his mind.

Being able to force him into such a situation in a head-on battle, even though the opponent looked like a minor, it did not affect Siegfried's recognition of the opponent's strength.

Although he had Acher's sniper support from his own side, something happened at the stronghold, causing Siegfried to lose this only support.

A black tide suddenly appeared in the sky over the stronghold. Siegfried didn't know what it was. All his attention was focused on the enemy in front of him at this moment, and he didn't think about any more problems.

Even though he was physically and mentally exhausted, Siegfried's gaze was still firmly fixed on the figure of Shor-Five.

After taking a few breaths, the silver swordsman drew his weapon again and aimed at the enemy. However, this time, his posture was different from before, but his momentum was even higher than before.

Siegfried could see that this enemy had deliberately given him time to catch his breath. Facing such a [martial] enemy, he would also return his [respect].

Thinking of this, Siegfried's eyes focused, and he squeezed out the remaining magic power in his body, and the sword in his hand once again gathered thick magic power.

However, Shuul remained indifferent to Black Saber's behavior and just watched the other party's performance quietly.

“Hooa ...

The sudden battle cry of a third party broke this strange balance, and a white figure suddenly jumped out.

Before Black Saber is about to fall, Black Berserker enters with her black hammer and a battle cry!

Seeing Siegfried's surprised expression, the third person who suddenly intervened in the battlefield raised the thunder hammer in his hand and smashed it heavily on the head of Shor V.

There was a loud bang.

The golden thunder hammer stopped steadily above the destination, on top of the dark blue miniature circle [magic circle].

[No passage]

Xuul No. 5 looked up expressionlessly at the thunder hammer that was so close to his head, and at the girl in white in front of him who was more than a head taller than him. He also saw the other party's surprised expression.

“Wu ...!!”

After a brief moment of surprise, the girl in white howled again, raised her armored legs and kicked at the target in front of her.

With such a height difference, the target of this kick is the opponent's throat. If hit by this kick, the consequences will be unimaginable.

However, before she could kick out, a powerful repulsive force was emitted from all around Xuul No. 5.

"Woo?"

Before Berserker could react, her body flew back in the direction it came from.

Siegfried saw this scene. He had experienced the opponent's [repulsion field] before. It was this move that made him fly out just now.

Fortunately, with Berserker's interference, Siegfried, who was originally ready to give it a try, immediately stopped charging his strength. While watching the battle, he also concentrated on recovering quickly.

Although Berserker's interference only lasted for a few seconds, it was enough time for Siegfried to recover a little.

So, because of his teammates' rescue, Siegfried realized that someone wanted him to continue living. He changed his idea of ​​fighting to the death a few seconds ago, and took advantage of the opportunity when Shor No. 5 had just repelled Berserker and rushed forward with a sword.

However......

“Waaaaaaa————!?”

Another loud cry joined the battlefield. It was not a mighty war cry like Berserker's, but another cry of pure terror.

Ok?

Schuur No. 5 hesitated for a moment, ignoring Siegfried who was slashing at him with a sword from behind, and looked up at the pink-haired figure falling towards him in the sky.

After a pause, Xuer No. 5 made a quick decision and made room to the side.

Number Five can obtain the target's falling trajectory. As long as he dodges, the person behind him will be in trouble.

boom--! ! !

......

Chapter 24: Strange

Xiuer likes the feeling of "everything is under control", which has never changed whether before or after the time travel.

Just like now.

Watching the silver swordsman being knocked away by something pink, he was rarely speechless.

Black Rider, Astolfo.
