Oh no, I really became Cao Mengde!

However, if this move is used against an ordinary servant, he might really be tricked by Mashu's change of tactics and be knocked away.

But Mashu didn't know that Saber Alter was very familiar with the shield soldier's attacks. When Mashu just used it, she had already moved the holy sword to her side.

when!

Mashu's attack was blocked again!

"What a quick reaction!" Mashu was shocked.

No, rather than saying it was a quick reaction, it was more like Saber Alter's instinctive reaction in battle, relying entirely on instinct to predict every attack from Mashu!

It's like a humanoid fighting machine!

But Mashu was not discouraged by her attack being blocked. Since one attack didn't work, she would try a few more times!

Then, the cave was filled with the sound of metal striking and clanging. People who didn't know might think there was a blacksmith forging iron here.

People watching from behind.

When Gudako saw Mashu fiercely attacking Saber Alter and knocking her back repeatedly, she couldn't help but say with joy: "Mashu is improving so fast! At the beginning, she didn't even know how to fight!"

Although she didn't know much about fighting, she could now see that Mashu had been attacking, while Saber Alter could only use passive methods, and she seemed to have the upper hand, so she was happy for her progress.

Before, Mashu couldn't even deal with two Shadow Servants, but now she can fight against first-rate Heroic Spirits and even beat them back. This improvement is really huge!

Under such circumstances, it is no wonder that Gudako would be happy for Mashu.

However, Cao Mengde soon poured a bucket of cold water on her.

"It's actually Saber Alter who has the upper hand, not Mashu."

"Huh?! Why?!"

Seeing Gudako's astonished expression, Cao Mengde explained to her: "Observe carefully. Although the current battle situation is that Mashu has defeated Saber Alter step by step, and under the harassment of Cu Chulainn and Tomoe, she can only passively defend and cannot make any effective attacks."

"But if you look more carefully, you will find that Saber Alter's defense is not passive at all, nor does it have a sense of urgency. It is very easy to handle."

After getting Cao Mengde's explanation, Gudako observed the battlefield again, and now she saw more things.

It was seen that every step Saber Alter took back was not because of Mashu's attack, but just to give herself space to deal with the attacks of Tomoe Gozen and Cu Chulainn.

For example, now, Saber Alter took a few steps back because of Mash's attack, and Tomoe Gozen's arrow came right after. She simply knocked the arrow away with the holy sword in her hand.

The arrow shot by Tomoe Gozen was very powerful. When someone was hit, it was not just a simple piercing of the body, but the body was shattered like a cannon.

Such a huge impact was actually easily deflected by Saber Alter, which shows how powerful she is!

"So strong!" Mashu showed an uncomfortable expression and frowned.

She could feel her hands trembling slightly, which was caused by the force that rebounded from Saber Alter when she was defending.

The force is mutual, but Mashu felt that she had no influence on the other party, but Saber Alter had a unilateral influence on her.

I feel more and more that Saber Alter is indeed a humanoid Tyrannosaurus.

“Oh? Is that all?” Seeing that Mashu had stopped attacking, Saber Alter raised her eyebrows, but because of the mask, others could not see her expression at all.

"Your performance in the battle just now was acceptable. But it was a little immature, probably because you just learned it not long ago. With a little more training, you may indeed be worthy of that shield."

"but--"

Suddenly, Saber Alter changed the subject, and Mashu's hair stood on end. She felt a dangerous aura emanating from Saber Alter.

At the same time, the holy sword in her hand gushed out black and red flames, enveloping the entire sword blade - that was not real flame, but the manifestation of Saber Alter's own magic power!

That huge amount of magic power was burning and gushing out like a flame!

"Are you ready? I'm going to get serious. I hope you can take my next attack."

After saying that, Saber Alter held up the holy sword and swung it casually—a stream of black and red light quickly gushed towards Mashu!

The violent force directly melted the ground on the path, leaving behind a gully!

Mashu's heart tightened and she quickly put up a shield in front of her to block the attack.

Bang!

The moment the light stream touched the shield, Mashu felt a huge force different from before, like a huge dump truck crashing towards her at full speed, surrounded by hot magic!

"Well!"

Mashu gritted her teeth and held up the shield. All the muscles in her body became extremely hard. If you touched her at this moment, you could feel that Mashu's flesh was as hard as bones!

She used all her strength to prevent the shield from falling out of her hand due to the attack, and it was still tightly held in her hand.

But at the same time, she could also feel a slight tingling sensation in her body, which was the effect of fighting Saber Alter's attack with all her strength.

However, even so, Mashu was pushed several meters away due to the huge force!

It won’t stop until the light disappears!

Chapter 40: The Noble Phantasm is released! A huge jet!

Gudako saw Mashu being repelled by Saber Alter's magical light stream and looked troubled, and she couldn't help but worry about her.

Olga Marie was so nervous about Saber Alter's attack that she felt like she would evaporate on the spot if she was just slightly touched!

"What a terrifying attack... Is it a Noble Phantasm attack?" Olga Marie said in a trembling voice with a hint of fear on her face.

Although Cu Chulainn had prepared a protective magic to block them from being hit by stray bullets, Olga Marie felt that the protective magic in front of them could not bring them any sense of security.

Saber Alter's attack is so scary!

Even more frightening was what Roman said next.

“No, that wasn’t a Noble Phantasm attack!” Roman said seriously, “After testing the attack just now, we found that it was purely an attack caused by the release of magic power! Moreover, we didn’t hear any spell that could release the Noble Phantasm’s true name just now.”

“Isn’t it a Noble Phantasm attack?!” Olga Marie was quite shocked.

Is it possible that such a terrifying attack was only caused by the release of magic power? How huge is the magic power contained in her body!

Moreover, if it was an attack by a Noble Phantasm, how terrifying would it be?

"As for the power, it's probably at the level of a city." Cao Mengde said, making a joke: "But don't worry, if you get hit by a Noble Phantasm of that level, you won't feel any pain."

Olga Marie immediately complained: "Is this a question of whether it is painful or not?!"

I'm talking about the horror of attack, and you're telling me that attack doesn't cause pain?

“But Mr. Cao is not wrong.” Roman explained seriously, “From the magic power on the holy sword in Saber Alter’s hand, the magic power released has reached EX level, which can form a specific form.”

"The magic power that can become this is extremely pure. The human body cannot bear it. If it is touched by even a drop, it will be injured and corroded. However, if it is touched by such a huge amount as just now, it will not cause any pain. Consciousness will be lost in an instant."

“You’re still discussing this seriously?!” Olga Marie complained again, and said angrily: “Roman, shut up!”

Then Roman said nothing more, which was very sensible of the situation.

Look back at the station.

When Mashu was repelled by Saber Alter's attack, Tomoe Gozen and Cu Chulainn were not idle either, and quickly shared Mashu's pressure.

Tomoe Gozen continued to shoot arrows, forming a rain of arrows flying towards Saber Alter. In this dim cave, this rain of arrows looked like a meteor shower falling from the sky.

"Annoying thing!" Saber Alter snorted coldly, and the holy sword in her hand once again burst out black and red magic power, sweeping towards the rain of arrows.

A black and red light flashed, like a galaxy, across the sky.

Afterwards, the rain of arrows was completely destroyed by the sword light, and brilliant fireworks burst out. However, the sword light continued to move forward, directly blasting a crack in the ceiling of the cave, and huge rocks fell down one after another.

As luck would have it, Tomoe Gozen was right under the fallen rocks.

After realizing that Saber Alter wanted to crush her to death with falling rocks, Tomoe Gozen's face changed and she quickly jumped away.

And just the next second after she left the spot, a huge rock fell to the ground. The huge shock almost made Cao Mengde and the other two lose their balance.

Olga Marie was able to rely on the balance she had developed through years of exercise to keep her body steady, but Gudako, as a weak JK, was unable to stand firmly for a moment and was about to fall to the ground.

"ah!"

"careful!"

Cao Mengde subconsciously reached out and supported Gudako's body.

"Are you okay?"

"Ah...ah! I'm fine!"

Feeling the heat coming from her back, Gudako's face turned a little red.

This is the first time in my life that a boy has touched my body so intimately.

Even though it was just an accident.

Cao Mengde smiled and said, "You need to train yourself, Fujimaru. You can't be so weak. Look at the director. She is the one you should learn from."

Olga Marie looked at Cao Mengde holding Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand with a blank expression on her face. At that moment, she actually thought, it would be better if she hadn't stabilized her body.

Damn it, how come I had received combat training from my family and had such an excellent balancing ability!

Most magicians will learn combat skills to some extent, in order to prevent themselves from being approached. Although they will not become combat mages, at least they will have some ability to resist when being approached.

"Indeed, Mr. Cao, you are right." Although she felt very uncomfortable, Olga Marie still pretended to be calm and said, "Fujimaru, you really need to practice. After this is over, I will teach you personally."

"Oh, okay!" Gudako nodded.

The falling rocks did not hit Tomoe Gozen, and Saber Alter did not pay much attention to it. She turned around and looked at Cu Chulainn on the other side.

"Oops!"

Seeing Saber Alter's cold eyes looking at him, Cu Chulainn suddenly felt something was wrong. He stopped chanting and ran away quickly.

The next moment, a black and red stream of magical light rushed over, leaving a deep hole in the cave wall, and red lava dripped down.

If Cu Chulainn had run for just one second, he would probably have melted like the lava!

Cu Chulainn ran and shouted, "Little sister with the shield! Get close to her quickly, or we won't be able to attack!"

Then another stream of light gushed out, scaring Cu Chulainn so much that he flew up with a spell, and the place where he was standing was melted into red lava.

Then, another beam of light flew towards Tomoe Gozen, and she dodged the attack after having just shot an arrow.

Saber Alter was now like a human machine gun, with bullets bombarding indiscriminately as if they were endless, causing the entire cave to tremble and rocks to fall everywhere.

Now, the only person who can restrain her is Mashu, who is temporarily unable to fight. Tomoe Gozen and Cu Chulainn have been locked by Saber Alter!

Mashu gritted her teeth, endured the pain running through her body, and raised the shield again.

"I... can do it!"

I am the only one who is still conscious, and as long as I still want to protect others, I can still fight!

“Ahhhh——!!”

Mashu charged again, rushing towards Saber Alter!

"You recovered so quickly?" Saber Alter showed a hint of admiration in her eyes hidden under the mask, "Then let's see if you can block my attack!"

With a swing of the sword, a stream of light sprayed towards Mashu again.

This time, although Mashu can still feel the huge force pressing down on her body through the shield, she will not be repelled again!

"Oh?"

Seeing that Mashu remained unmoved under her attack, Saber Alter raised an eyebrow and increased her strength. "What about this?"

The previous attack had just ended and Mashu had just run a few steps when the next attack came!

However, Mashu still gritted his teeth and held on! He was not defeated!

Under Saber Alter's continuous violent attacks, Mashu actually resisted the attacks again and again and gradually approached Saber Alter!

Once she is close, Tomoe Gozen and Cu Chulainn will be freed, and it will become more difficult to carry out another turret battle!

"Not bad!" Saber Alter praised, raised the black holy sword in her hand, chuckled and said: "Your ability is qualified for me to release it!"

"Let this one strike decide the outcome!"

At this moment, violent wind pressure came from Saber Alter's body, and the flames erupting from the holy sword in her hand gradually grew larger and turned into a magic sword!

“Be careful!” Roman shouted, “Saber Alter is about to release her Noble Phantasm!”

"Release the Noble Phantasm?"

Although Mash was afraid when she heard Roman's voice, she had no intention of backing down.

If it was at the beginning, she might be confused and not sure if she could resist it. But now——
