Oh no, I really became Cao Mengde!

Roman also stared at the screen, observing any abnormal situations without blinking.

If Cao Mengde's guess was true, then the arrows shot out would not be just two, but at least more than two arrows.

"I hope I guessed wrong, otherwise things will become very troublesome next." Cao Mengde thought nervously.

The second arrow was already within a hundred meters of them. If a third arrow appeared, it would definitely be close enough to them. In that case, the eldest brother would not have much time to react, and he might not even have time to activate his treasure!

However, reality simply does not develop as one wishes.

Whoosh——!

In the meteor shower, the third pseudo-spiral sword broke through the collapsing body of the fire giant and flew rapidly towards Fujimaru Ritsuka!

And Roman's screen showed the reaction of the Noble Phantasm again!

"It really appeared!" Roman shouted anxiously. He didn't expect Cao Mengde to guess it right. "And the good news is that the level of the treasure is still C+! It has not been upgraded!"

Cao Mengde was not flustered and quickly shouted: "Mashu! It's your turn! But, something might happen to you, do you want to go?"

Mashu hesitated for a moment before answering in a resounding voice, "Yes!"

Although there was no trace of fear on her young face, the hesitation just now proved that there was still a trace of fear in her heart, but it was hidden.

Facing such a terrifying attack, how could Mashu, who had just become a Servant, not be afraid? No one can really be fearless.

There's no point in being afraid, so you might as well make yourself stronger.

"it is good!"

Cao Mengde smiled and nodded, then shouted to Cu Chulainn, "Cu Chulainn, it's time to use your ability as a magician! Add some magic to Mashu!"

"You don't need to tell me!"

Cu Chulainn waved his staff and used the [Original Rune] to increase some endurance and fighting ability of Mashu in the air, and incidentally gave Mashu the ability to fight in the air.

There is no time for extra words.

After exchanging glances with everyone else, Mashu raised her shield and rushed out.

"Ahhh!" Mashu screamed and ran wildly to give herself some courage. Then she bent her legs and jumped up, flying towards the pseudo-spiral sword in the air.

The closer she got to the pseudo-spiral sword, the louder Mashu's ears heard the arrow breaking through the air, and her body could also feel the murderous aura emanating from the pseudo-spiral sword.

It is like the scythe of the god of death, making people feel cold and fearful all over their bodies. They cannot muster the desire to resist and can only wait for the arrival of death.

"But I can't retreat..." Mashu gritted her teeth. Even though her body was suffocated by the power of the arrow, she showed difficulty, but she didn't show any fear, "Because, behind me are my seniors, the director, Mr. Cao, and everyone in Chaldea!"

Now she is responsible for the future of the entire human race. She must move forward and block this missile-like arrow!

Even if it means sacrificing my life!

"I'm Mash Kyrielight! I want to protect everyone's future!"

Mashu raised her shield and met the impact of the pseudo-spiral sword in mid-air!

clang!

There was no explosion when the shield and the pseudo-spiral sword collided.

Because what Mashu is doing now is blocking the enemy's attack instead of destroying the enemy's attack, there will be no violent explosion.

Moreover, this may also be the reason why Archer did not immediately detonate the pseudo-spiral sword.

"Well!!"

The huge force caused by the collision between the two was transmitted from the shield to Mashu's body, directly pushing her several meters away!

She groaned.

The pseudo spiral sword spun rapidly on the shield, as if it was trying to drill through Mashu's shield, splashing out sparks like a waterfall. The huge power contained in it pushed Mashu back continuously!

Push her to the position of Fujimaru Ritsuka!

“Mashu——!” Seeing that Mashu was completely suppressed by the pseudo-spiral sword, Gudako subconsciously raised her right hand, “I will use the Command Seal——”

However, before he could finish his words, a big hand grabbed his right hand.

Gudako turned around and found that it was Cao Mengde who grabbed her hand.

"The Command Spell cannot be used indiscriminately like this. It will affect her growth." Cao Mengde shook his head lightly and said with a faint smile, "Please believe her."

Do you believe her?

Hearing this, Gudako closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened them again, her eyes were firm: "Yes! I have to believe in Mashu. She can do it!"

Cao Mengde smiled faintly and let go of his hand.

On the side, Tomoe Gozen saw that Mashu was being pushed back by the pseudo-spiral sword, and said worriedly: "Master, do we really not need to help her?"

It now seems that Mashu is completely unable to block the arrows fired by the enemy Archer and is being suppressed.

If they don't help, there is a high probability that Mashu will be broken by the pseudo-spiral sword, causing the pseudo-spiral sword to successfully fall towards them, and then an explosion will take them all away.

Then humanity would have no future.

"No need." Cao Mengde looked at Mashu who was suppressed in the air and said seriously: "That child is not so easily crushed. The greater the pressure, the stronger she will be. Her courage and determination can withstand everything."

In the air, Mashu was pushed back and had no resistance to the enemy's attacks.

Are we going to lose?

Mashu thought to herself, and seemed to be about to back off.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered what Cao Mengde had said to her.

[Your courage and determination can make the shield resist all attacks. ]

No...it's just temporary!

Thinking of this, Mashu's eyes showed determination, and she gritted her teeth and cheered herself up again!

She quickly adapted to the state of floating in the air, adjusted her body shape, and stomped her feet hard!

Then something strange happened. Her feet really stuck in the air! It was as if they were stepping on solid ground!

"Yahahahah!!"

Mashu shouted, using all her strength to resist the pressure brought by the pseudo-spiral sword.

I can handle it! I can handle it!

Because I want to resist!

In an instant, Mashu's body changed. The hands, abdomen and legs that were not covered by armor suddenly condensed with magic power and turned into armor covering them.

At this time, she, who was originally suppressed, was gradually able to resist the impact of the pseudo-spiral sword and gradually stopped in the air.

Archer, who was watching the battle from a distance, saw Mashu resist the impact of the pseudo-spiral sword, and her face covered by black air seemed to smile, and then she snapped her fingers.

Snapped!

Then, in the distance, the pseudo-spiral sword that was drilling into Mashu's shield suddenly lit up, causing Mashu's pupils to shrink suddenly.

boom!

Dazzling fireworks exploded three times in the night sky!

Chapter 23: Temporary Clairvoyance, Defeat Archer!

"Matthew!"

When Gudako saw the sudden explosion in the air, she couldn't help but scream.

"Mashu..." Olga Marie was so nervous that her fingers and arms turned white, and she stared blankly at the explosion in the air.

Roman and others in Chaldea were so nervous that they were almost suffocating.

As the product of Chaldea's sixth experiment, Mashu is Chaldea's most valuable asset and the favorite child of everyone in Chaldea.

If she had made any mistake in this explosion, it would have been a huge loss that no one could accept.

Everyone was looking at the fireworks in the sky, hoping and praying that Mashu would be safe.

At least, no life is in danger.

As time passed, the fireworks in the sky gradually dissipated, revealing the scene hidden within.

"This is?!"

The scene that was revealed shocked everyone in Chaldea!

I saw a very blurry projection of a building in the sky. Judging from its scale, it seemed to be a huge city!

And Mashu's figure was standing in that blurry city!

"Matthew!"

Seeing Mashu's figure, Gudako's previous worry quickly turned into a face full of joy.

"Hu~Hu~" Not only her, Olga Marie also breathed a sigh of relief, breathing softly with a smile on her lips.

There was even more cheering in Chaldea.

"She succeeded!" Cao Mengde couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after seeing it.

His previous calmness was completely fake.

In fact, he was a little uncertain in his heart. He was not sure whether Mashu could successfully resonate with the shield and deploy the treasure.

But as a leader, he cannot show any uncertainty and must give his subordinates the confidence that they will win.

"Successful?" Olga Marie heard Cao Mengde's words, and then she realized what was going on. She said happily, "That city projection is Mashu's treasure?!"

"Yes. Although it was a little incomplete, she did successfully unfold her treasure." Cao Mengde nodded.

Then, the huge city projection in the sky gradually disappeared, and Mashu fell down as if she had lost her strength, falling from the sky.

Seeing this, Cao Mengde commanded: "Cuchulainn, go get Mashu!"

"You don't have to command me!" Cu Chulainn retorted. He had already set out to pick up Mashu.

Cao Mengde didn't care and continued, "Roman, did you detect the fourth arrow?"

"Not detected yet!" Roman replied, his hands still operating. "It may be that the enemy Archer has reached the limit of magic power consumption and cannot launch a fourth attack!"

"No fourth attack? That's great news." Olga Marie smiled bitterly.

If there were one or two more pseudo-spiral swords, they might not be able to hold on and everyone would be wiped out here.

"We can't let our guard down." Cao Mengde said seriously, "Even if we can't continue to launch our treasures, they can still shoot some ordinary arrows, which will be a big problem for us."

"Indeed, I will pay attention to it!" Roman answered seriously.

What Cao Mengde said was not wrong. Even if the enemy Archer could no longer shoot out the pseudo-spiral sword like a missile, he could still shoot out ordinary arrows that were stronger than the previous adjusted arrows.

And it can be launched infinitely.

Although the threat level is not as terrifying as the previous Noble Phantasm bombing, it is still a very dangerous trouble and must be taken seriously to prevent any eventuality.

Then, Cao Mengde asked Ba Yuzen beside him: "Ba, are you sure where the attack came from?"

"It's confirmed!" Tomoe Gozen nodded, "But I can't shoot him because I don't have the skill [Clairvoyance] that can see distant targets clearly. If I want to fight back, I can only aim in his direction and can't hit him accurately!"

There is indeed no [Clairvoyance] or any skill similar to [Clairvoyance] that increases vision on Tomoe Gozen's Heroic Spirit panel.

This also means that Tomoe Gozen's ability as an archer is actually very ordinary, at an average level, and he can only snipe within a range of 100 meters.

There is no way to guarantee the hit rate if the distance exceeds 100 meters.

Therefore, Tomoe Gozen usually fights in close combat, and only uses long-range attacks when necessary.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have appeared from the summoning circle directly with a katana instead of a bow and arrow.

"This is a simple question."

Cao Mengde looked at Cu Chulainn again. At this time, Cu Chulainn had already caught Mashu who had fallen from the sky and ran back here.

"Cu Chulainn! Use your almighty rune magic to enhance Chin's vision!"

Runes can do many things after being combined. They can temporarily increase the level of a Noble Phantasm, use elemental magic comparable to magic, create a shield to resist a hit from a Noble Phantasm against a city, seal, strengthen, heal, etc. It is almost omnipotent.

It wouldn't be difficult to give Tomoe Gozen a [Clairvoyance] BUFF.

"Ah?" Cu Chulainn was startled when he heard Cao Mengde's shout. He looked at Tomoe Gozen, a little puzzled: "Doesn't she have [Clairvoyance]?"

"Do I need to ask you anything else?" Cao Mengde asked back, "And [Clairvoyance] is also a skill that Archer must have."
