Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

"You still have to be more careful. We don't know what the enemy has buried in your wound."

"Tsk, I know that without you telling me."

Thinking of the beating he received last night, Mordred's expression quickly turned ferocious.

"Next time we meet, I'm going to beat that guy to a pulp!"

----

"Cuck!"

The severe pain from his abdomen caused Astolfo's body to spasm briefly, forcing him to bend forward. At the same time, a small fist landed on his handsome face from bottom to top.

Suddenly, a violent impact was transmitted from the fist to Astolfo's entire head.

This huge impact caused Astolfo, the servant, to lose his ability to think for a short time. His posture changed from bending forward to leaning back with an unstable center of gravity.

Even a Heroic Spirit whose essence is a body made of magic power still possesses the organs of a normal person. As such, it is reasonable that when certain parts of their body are attacked by certain types of attacks, they should produce the correct feedback effects.

Because of the moment of unconsciousness and the fact that the spasm had not yet subsided, his legs temporarily lost the strength to support his body.

After maintaining balance for a short time, the whole body "could not bear the weight" and fell to the ground behind it.

But Xuer was not ready to stop. After discovering that the enemy was stunned by his attack, he prepared to pursue the victory.

The relatively petite Xuul took a sudden step towards his target, raised the huge sword in his right hand, and smashed it towards Astolfo who had fallen backwards.

If no one interfered, the next scene would be that the latter's body was cut in two by Aosagong's heavy and sharp blade.

But there were more than two people present, and the fight between Shuul and Astolfo was not a fair 1v1.

“Gahh ...!”

A thunder hammer whistled in from the blind spot of vision. It was an attack from the third person present, Black Rider's teammate, Black Berserker!

Berserker gathered all his strength and swung the hammer, wrapped in lightning, towards the enemy's head.

If Shul chose to continue his attack, then as his weapon fell on Rider, Berserker's thunder hammer would also hit his head at the same time.

Forcing the enemy to stop their actions when faced with an attack that could seriously injure or even kill them is the best way Berserker can think of to protect his teammates at this moment.

But the prerequisite for this plan to succeed is that her attack is enough to endanger the target's life.

boom--!

Feeling the sudden sensation in his hand, Berserker looked at the familiar golden film in front of him in astonishment with his eyes hidden by his bangs.

Her attack was easily blocked by the thin film in the air a few centimeters away from Xuer's head.

From then on, it was impossible to move forward at all.

However, even if Berserker's rescue plan had failed, there were more than two Black Servants present.

"Drink!"

Although a battle cry was heard, a silver light shot out from the darkness behind Rider and collided head-on with the sword that was about to hit Rider.

After temporarily regaining some strength, Black Saber picked up her weapon and rushed forward when she realized that her companion was in danger.

Before Berserker's interference appeared, his body had already arrived at the battlefield.

At this moment, Saber was holding Rider's waist with one hand as he fell backwards, and facing Shuul with the silver two-handed sword in the other hand.

The perfect interference and the landing point of the sword tip caused the Ao Sha Gong in Xuer's hand to deviate from its original trajectory.

The sword blade passed by Saber and Rider perfectly and slammed heavily into the ground beside them.

Since the offense and defense changed, the defense of Shuul in front of Saber was wide open because his weapon deviated and hit the ground, creating a lot of opportunities for Saber to counterattack.

However, before he could take the next step, the enemy in front of him, who was full of flaws, suddenly "drifted" to the side in a way that violated physics.

"what?!"

Just before the enemy "slid" out of sight, the sharp-eyed Saber noticed a slight bulge at the waist hidden under the black robe.

There was no time to think, relying on the warrior's intuition and body perception, the enemy who slipped out of sight had already come behind him.

The sound of some sharp weapon cutting through the air instantly entered his ears, which meant that the enemy's attack was approaching.

Without time to consider the enemy's sudden and bizarre speed, Saber threw Rider aside and simultaneously swung her own sword, doing her utmost to meet the enemy's attack.

then.

"Eh?"

Looking at the empty scene ahead, Saber, who had been prepared to face the heavy sword's impact, was stunned, and his weapon was emptied at this moment.

not good!

When Qi Saber realized that she had made a serious error in judgment, she felt a surge of pressure.

At this moment, a piece of black cloth flashed by in the corner of his vision.

When he looked in the direction where the [foreign object] disappeared, the scenery in his field of vision was filled with those lifeless golden eyes.

Puff-!

As the sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh rang out, Saber, slightly dazed, finally became aware of the sharp pain in her chest...

......

Chapter 29: Kill

Puff-!

As the sound of a sharp weapon piercing through flesh rang out, at the same time, the sharp pain from his chest brought Siegfried, who was slightly dazed, back to his senses.

The frontal defense that he was absolutely confident in was easily broken through by the enemy in front of him?

No, it should be said that his magic power was almost exhausted, and he did not have any extra magic power to supply this powerful defensive weapon to continue to work.

Even now, after a brief recovery, it is just a drop in the bucket when facing this extremely powerful enemy.

It is not surprising that they were defeated so easily.

Siegfried quickly understood the situation and stared into the eyes of the man in front of him. Because at this moment, he and the other party were using the giant sword as Ginyu, and their faces were so close for the first time. This allowed him to finally see the face of the other party hidden under the darkness of the hood at a close distance.

little girl?

Siegfried was stunned after seeing the opponent's face clearly. He didn't expect that the people who could push him to such a point in a head-on battle were so young.

Although judging from her physical appearance alone, she could be considered relatively young, but the fact that she was younger than expected and even a woman surprised the relatively stable Siegfried.

However, after getting over the surprise of the "first meeting", he immediately noticed the "abnormality" on the other person's face.

Although the other person's face was of the more attractive type, Siegfried also glimpsed the inhuman part in it.

Compared to the "cuteness" of a child, the appearance of the person in front of him gave Siegfried more of the feeling of "exquisiteness" of a doll.

In addition, at such a close distance, he was unable to sense any "breath" of a living person from the other person.

So it's a puppet...

When Siegfried thought about the true identity of the enemy he had been fighting tonight, which was just a soulless magic puppet, his excitement at meeting a powerful warrior quickly cooled down.

Because, the person who can create such a powerful puppet means that the strength of the creator behind it has far exceeded his expectations.

"Pfft!"

A hot stream of fishy smell kept flowing out of the throat.

The scarlet liquid mimicked by magic gushed out of his mouth and splashed everywhere due to his physiological coughing reaction, naturally including Xuul who was right in front of him.

The blood flying in the air was blocked by the golden shield that appeared in time. Under the moonlight, Siegfried's legs finally lost the last bit of strength.

Originally, for a Servant whose body was constructed with magic power, being pierced through the middle by a giant sword was also a serious injury, but it was far from the level of killing the Servant.

Even though his hands were crippled by Xuer and he was disabled, he was able to quickly recover to his original state after receiving treatment.

But this is based on the premise that the Servant's [Core] is not damaged.

According to the information Shuul found, the thing called the Soul Core was an important [component] like the human heart and the core of the Ex-Machina.

And Xuer's attack was aimed at the scanned [core] position.

Since all the ability data in Siegfried's intelligence has been collected by Shuel, Shuel will naturally no longer care about this Black Saber.

But in order to prevent the other party from interfering with his subsequent collection of Rider and Berserker, and out of respect for Siegfried's identity as a warrior.

The best option at the moment is to quickly eliminate this unstable and worthless target.

The final result is that the magic power is exhausted again without replenishment, and the person is exhausted and unable to maintain the effects of the armor and treasures on his body.

Faced with this fatal blow, Siegfried's body was finally unable to bear the burden. The enemy's blade broke through his defense and pierced through his body, and the spiritual core in his body was not spared.

When retreat was inevitable, Siegfried raised his head and looked over Schor's head to see Berserker, who was charging again with his weapon reeling from the deflection, and Rider, who had just gotten up from the ground and looked like he was still half-conscious.

puff......

Feeling the foreign object in his body being pulled out by the enemy, his chest, which had just been filled with pain, suddenly felt cool, and blood spurted out from the huge crack that had lost its blockage, forming a momentary fountain.

Without support, Siegfried's body finally succumbed to gravity and fell to the ground.

----

All of this happened too suddenly and too quickly. When Rider regained consciousness after being briefly knocked unconscious by Shuel, he saw Shuel pulling the weapon out of Siegfried, who was leaning forward in a half-kneeling position.

With a Servant's physique far superior to that of an ordinary person, Rider, whose brain was severely impacted to the point of near-fainting, was unconscious for over ten seconds before regaining consciousness. He was unable to quickly comprehend what had happened during those ten seconds.

With his brain still aching, he could no longer spare the energy to think.

“Saber…?”

Rider called out to his companion in confusion, but the companion, who was lying on the ground and whose body quickly turned into a point of light, did not respond to his voice before disappearing.

Saber is out?

He immediately recalled that during his trance, his body seemed to be pulled into someone's arms, and then thrown to the ground.

boom--!

The sound of Berserker fighting the enemy could be heard again. The thunder hammer struck the shield with no sign of weakening each time, as if the person who kept launching these attacks had infinite power.

For Berserker, this situation was not surprising. In addition, he saw his companions being killed by the enemy without paying any attention to him, which caused the Black Berserker's emotions to further sink into the abyss of anger.

Normally, it is very dangerous to become emotional during a battle, because when a person is overwhelmed by anger, he is likely to lose his most important judgment ability.

However, this is not a disadvantage for a Berserker.

“Woooo ...

Berserker's beautiful appearance is completely inconsistent with her brutal attack method. While she keeps swinging the thunder hammer in her hand, she often roars like a beast.

Feeling each blow on the shield becoming more powerful, arcs of electricity surrounded Berserker, and each blow was accompanied by overflowing arcs of electricity.

The electric arc transmitted to the golden shield through the weapon seemed to follow the orders of its master, scanning the surface like a hound, looking for possible gaps in the shield.

And Xuul, who was inside the shield, was observing the scenery outside the shield with a calm expression.

He stared at the enraged Berserker as if observing a small beast with bared fangs and claws.

If Berserker himself saw this look, he would definitely be even more angry. Fortunately, the space inside the shield was very stable, and the attacks from outside could not affect Shuul inside at all. Naturally, he could not see the eyes hidden under the hood in this situation.

I believe that if time continues and neither of them is prepared to take any other action, even if Berserker attacks tirelessly until dawn, he will not be able to cause the slightest break in Shul's shield.

If Xiuer wanted to, he could spend 24 hours a day here with the other party.

Fortunately, there are more than two variables present.

The sound of the two fighting finally brought back the thoughts of the person who was sitting on the ground and wandering outside the field.

Rider came back to his senses and turned to look in the direction of the sound, seeing the scene of Berserker and Shuul fighting.

Then, he looked at his weapon that was stuck in the ground on the other side, and an idea suddenly appeared in his mind.

......

Chapter 30: Noble Phantasm

The moment a thought came into his mind, Rider's body began to act according to it.

But just as he stood up and took a step, something unexpected happened.

“…Huh?”
