Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

"Ah~ Little Jack doesn't want to eat dinner today?"

In response, the girl named Jack shook her head with a virginal smile on her face.

"The enemy has come to us."

After she finished speaking, purple magic instantly covered the girl's entire body, and the white dress turned into a slightly larger black tights.

It is obvious that the girl is not an ordinary person. Her true identity is the Servant of this Holy Grail War, Black Assassin, whose real name is [Jack the Ripper].

And the woman next to her is naturally not her real mother.

Rokudo Reika is the name of a girl, and also the Master of this Assassin.

Seeing that the girl was ready for battle, Sixth Director Lingxia quickly understood the situation.

"Is the enemy strong?"

Without asking too many questions, she completely trusted her Servant.

"I don't know, but for your safety, it's best to go back first."

"Then Mom, I'll go home right now. I'll make your favorite hamburger for you when you come back."

"Ok!"

After saying that, Jack stood up and jumped into the alley beside him. His petite figure disappeared into the night in an instant.

.......

----

......

After Jack started to act, a strange fog suddenly filled the streets and alleys of the town. In a blink of an eye, a large area of ​​the town was shrouded in thick fog.

This was of course the work of the Black Assassin.

The fog that instantly enveloped the town was created by her Noble Phantasm, [The Mist].

This is a barrier treasure that can use magic to produce a thick sulfuric acid fog within the barrier range. Ordinary people will die after a few seconds if they enter it.

If it is a magician, although he will not die immediately, he will be continuously harmed by the [Poison Mist] and his magic will be interfered with. If he does not take countermeasures immediately, he will not be able to escape death.

Although the servant can resist this damage, he will also be affected by the erosion of the poisonous mist.

The user of the Noble Phantasm can of course freely choose the target affected by the mist. Jack can make the mist selectively avoid those he does not want to hurt, and the mist produced by this magic will also deprive the individual who enters it of their sense of direction.

Only by using some kind of magic or some servants with B-level or above [Intuition] skills can they escape.

Therefore, effects like these make it extremely difficult to catch Jack in such a thick fog.

Under the double cover of night and fog, Jack's figure kept shuttling between the rooftops.

She was moving at high speed towards the direction of the enemy she perceived. As a servant, Jack's panel data was actually not very good. His strength and endurance were only C, and his agility was only A.

But as an Assassin, her panel is excellent. For an assassin, such basic data can significantly increase the success rate of most [assassinations].

The Assassin class is not designed to fight head-on with the other six classes. Assassins have always used [assassination of the Master] as a means.

clatter......

Jack stopped and stood on the roof, observing the enemy below under the cover of night.

The other person was about the same size as himself, wearing a black cloak that covered his entire body, making it impossible for Jack to see his face.

Now the fog has already spread everywhere, but the enemies below have not shown any symptoms of [discomfort].

Is he a Servant, or a magician using some kind of trick?

Jack didn't know.

But no matter which one it is, it is enough to know that the other party is the enemy.

She jumped high, and her petite figure instantly appeared above the target. A dagger appeared in her hand, and the sharp sword was aimed at the back of the neck of the target below.

After a brief pause in the air, Assassin's body slammed straight down towards the target below.

However, just as the dagger was about to penetrate the back of the target's neck, Jack suddenly discovered that his target had changed.

The other party moved.

The black cloak in the field of vision suddenly rose up, and a fleshless arm stretched out from it. The next second, the scenery in front of the eyes suddenly turned upside down.

"Ah?"

boom----! ! !

A huge sound resounded all around...

......

----

......

The streets were destroyed, and spider-web-like cracks of various sizes spread outward from under Shul.

Shuul looked at the Servant in his hand expressionlessly. The device above his head unfolded instantly, and his right hand was firmly stuck in the girl's throat.

"Ah?"

Jack looked at Xiuer who was so close to him, his eyes full of confusion about the current situation.

"how did you do it?"

Jack didn't care about the pain in his own body at all, and his attention was completely on the other person. This sudden reversal made her not know what was happening for a moment.

It was clear that his blade was about to pierce the opponent's neck in the previous second, but the next second, he was lying on the ground.

The pain in her back and neck made her realize immediately that the other person had grabbed her neck and thrown her to the ground.

But how is this done?

Jack was surprised to find that he couldn't dodge the opponent's counterattack?!

And the doubts in her heart will never be answered.

......

"Is this the Black Assassin?"

Of course, Xuel knew that the little girl in his hand was the "Jack the Ripper" he was looking for.

Previously, within one day of being summoned to the world, he committed four brutal and bloody murders.

Xuer was disgusted by the bizarre murderer with the face of a young girl.

"Weaker than I thought."

Xu Erben knew that Assassin's panel values ​​were basically the lowest among the seven knights.

After all, he is also a servant, so Xuel did not [look down on] him. Making plans in advance is Xuel's good habit.

But even if the intelligence is sufficient, it will be another matter when you actually fight with the other party.

The poisonous fog had no effect on Shuul, an Ex-Machina, and his methods of hiding in the thick fog were nowhere to be seen by his [Detectors].

Even the speed that the other party was proud of was not impressive in Xiuer's eyes.

Scanning the physical data of the young girl in his hand, Shuul did not choose to kill her directly on the spot, because so far this Assassin still had enough research value to keep him alive temporarily.

Of course, he would not let the other party survive tonight.

It just so happened that he had a brand new [Project] that he needed a Servant to cooperate with.

"Notification, mission accomplished, target Master captured."

After listening to the report from the clone in the communication, Xiuer lifted Jack above his head. The next second, a golden space channel appeared behind Jack.

The former casually threw the person in his hand into the passage, and after confirming that the other party had been [captured] in his space, he opened another [door] beside him.

Of course, Xuer's plans for tonight are not limited to this. Next, he will rush to the next [battlefield], where there is someone who attracts him more than Jack.

Over there, his clone had already made contact with the target.

Chapter 9: Battlefield 1

midnight

One jump is located on a highway somewhere in Romania, where the red team's Lancer, the heroic spirit named Karna, is located.

Now he is sitting on a highway sign that can be seen everywhere on the road. He certainly did not come here to "appreciate the scenery", but he is here specifically to wait for someone to come.

The target he was waiting for was none other than the fifteenth Heroic Spirit of this Holy Grail War, the one who was not one of the Red and Black Knights, [Ruler].

Karna's purpose in waiting for the opponent was to kill Ruler.

He didn't know why he did this. The only reason he came here to stop Ruler was because of the request from his ally, Father Shiro Kotomine.

Killing Ruler tonight was how it should have been.

----

"......Um?"

Karna raised his head and scanned his surroundings, because just now, a strange feeling suddenly filled his heart.

call----

Listening carefully, there seemed to be some discordant sound in the air.

Something is approaching here at an extremely high speed!

The next second, an unprecedented golden [meteor] appeared in the sky, particularly conspicuous in the night.

Originally, a meteor was not enough to arouse Karna's interest, even if it was an unprecedented golden meteor.

The real reason why he looked serious was because the meteor that streaked across the sky was coming towards him at an incredible speed.

That's not a so-called shooting star, that's...

When the thought of [dodge] came into Karna's mind, the golden [meteor] had already arrived in front of him.

It was also at this moment that he truly saw the true appearance of the meteor. It was an extremely large knight's lance inlaid with golden patterns.

boom----! ! !

The violent impact caused the ground beneath their feet to shake violently, dust flew up, and a thick dust fog was created that reached a height of tens of meters.

The next second, a strong gust of wind followed the meteor's trajectory, sweeping across the entire venue and blowing away all the thick dust and fog stirred up by the impact.

The smoke dissipated, revealing the hidden scene.

I saw that the originally flat section of the highway was now covered by a huge pothole with a radius of dozens of meters.

In the center of the pit was the dusty Karna and next to him was a giant spear with half of its barrel buried in the ground.

Where did this attack come from?

At this moment, feeling the turbulent air currents around him that had not yet dissipated, Karna's heart was filled with confusion and shock.

If this attack had not been conspicuous enough and the noise had not been loud enough, he would not have dared to confirm whether he could withstand such an attack without injury.

Because he had noticed the attack in advance, Karna was able to use his Noble Phantasm to defend against the [Sniper] that came out of nowhere before the attack was about to land on him.

The golden armor that Karna wears is one of his Noble Phantasms [Kavacha and Kundala].

The effect is to reduce all external hostile interference (physical attacks, magical attacks, curses, and other interference concepts), so that the actual damage Karna receives is greatly reduced.

And as long as he has enough magic power, he can ignore any damage, and while reducing the damage, he also has a terrifying healing ability that can recover from fatal injuries.

It could be said that in a Holy Grail War, summoning Karna was almost half the battle won. Of course, the prerequisite was that there was enough magic power. After all, such a powerful ability naturally came with a huge consumption of magic power. If the master's magic power was not enough to supply Karna's use, then having all the skills but being unable to release them would also lead to a losing outcome.

Just now, facing that powerful attack, Karna used this treasure that he always wore to defend himself without hesitation.

However, it was precisely because he chose to take it head-on that the moment his armor touched the tip of the gun, an extremely powerful destructive force spread from the tip of the gun to his entire body.

At this time, Karna was surprised to find that his magic power was being consumed at an alarming rate, and at the same time, some strange energy also penetrated into his body along with the tip of the gun.
