Comics: Starting from Killer Queen

Among modern magicians, she is already very powerful. Even when she was practicing actual combat with Medea, she could get a good comment from the other party. Even if her opponent was a heroic spirit, she was qualified to fight a few moves before dying.

But the enemy before her was completely beyond her imagination.

"Bam—!"

Fine cracks began to spread rapidly on the smooth gem barrier, and then, in front of Toosaka Rin's incredulous eyes, it exploded!

"What kind of monster is this? Is he really not a Heroic Spirit, but a magus like me?... There should be very few people like that man in this world."

Toosaka Rin murmured, glanced at her left hand hanging at her side with the corner of her eye, and hissed in pain.

I just paid the price of breaking my left hand to get the chance to use the gem to complete this trap, but I didn't expect it to be broken in an instant. This time, I'm in real trouble.

She gritted her teeth, raised her other hand, and made a shooting gesture, allowing the magic bullet to take shape in an instant and shoot out, piercing through the smoke and dust that spread along with the shattered barrier.

However, the magic bullet that could easily rip a human body into pieces strangely stopped in mid-air.

Or, more precisely, got caught.

The magic bullet, which should have been extremely dangerous and would explode if easily touched, was held in the palm of a hand wearing a black leather glove.

On that glove, there were runes engraved that were very familiar to Toosaka Rin, but the style was slightly different.

But isn't Rune a kind of magic that has already fallen into decline? Even if its foundation has just been restored in the past few years, its power in formal use should not be this strong, right?

"You are also the Master of the Holy Grail War, right? Before the link with the familiar was broken, I saw a new Heroic Spirit joining the battlefield. That should be your Servant, right?"

Toosaka Rin looked warily at the red-haired figure walking out of the smoke and dust, and shouted.

"Yes."

The magician in a red suit held the magic bullet in his hand and suddenly exerted force to crush it directly. However, with the flashing of runes on his gloves, the broken magic bullet did not explode directly, but dissipated.

Bazette raised his head and looked at Toosaka Rin.

"I am the agent of the Magic Association who came to investigate this Holy Grail War, Bazette. As you said, my Servant has already rushed to the battlefield between Saber and Archer."

"Then why did you attack me! You have also seen Archer's power. He has such destructive power before he even releases his Noble Phantasm. It is totally beyond the ability of one person to fight against him!"

"I saw it," Bazette nodded calmly, "Although the people in the Clock Tower also said that I have the strength to fight against Servants, to be honest, even though I have grown up now, I definitely don't want to fight against such a guy. I will definitely die."

"Then you still..."

"But I trust Lancer."

Bazette looked at the anxious Toosaka Rin and said firmly.

"She will not lose. Ever since I accepted her teachings, I have deeply understood this." Bazette glanced at the rune marks on his gloves, "But unfortunately, I am not qualified to directly participate in this battle and repay her. Therefore, I can only do what I can."

Bazette turned his sharp gaze to Toosaka Rin.

"Lancer said that all participants in this war are enemies, so I just need to eliminate them. Moreover, if Saber withdraws now, it can also reduce a lot of hidden dangers. You are an excellent master. If you two continue to stay, unnecessary accidents may happen later."

"You guy..."

Toosaka Rin frowned and her expression turned ugly.

How could someone plan to win the Holy Grail War with just a pair of duos? Without even considering more effective strategies like alliances and plots, they just start fighting. Is this guy a berserker?

But even though she was extremely unwilling, Toosaka Rin had to admit that this was the type of person she was least good at dealing with, as the opponent was better than her in both physical skills and magic.

Is it just a matter of exchanging Command Seals and fighting to the death?

Toosaka Rin stared at Bazette and raised her finger again, allowing the magic power to begin to gather. Bazette also became serious and took a starting stance.

Just as the two were confronting each other and the battle was about to break out.

The sound of crisp footsteps interrupted their thoughts.

Bazette and Toosaka Rin looked at each other and stopped in tacit understanding.

Because it was a sudden battle, they naturally had no time to set up any barrier to keep people away. They picked a secluded place and started fighting. In front of passers-by, the two decent people did not take advantage of this to do anything.

But, is there anyone passing by the end of this commercial street so late?

Having gotten a chance to catch her breath, Toosaka Rin breathed a sigh of relief and adjusted her gaze. Soon, she saw the true face of the passerby.

He was a black-haired young man with a handsome appearance and a curious smile on his face, as if he was attracted by the previous movement and glory.

When Toosaka Rin met the black-haired young man's ruby-like pupils, a suffocating feeling of surviving a disaster made her heart beat uncontrollably.

The young man passing by also saw her, smiled and raised his hand.

"Long time no see, Rin. You really came to participate in the Holy Grail War."

Roland looked around at the scene and raised his eyebrows.

"So, you're failing again?"

Chapter 250: Sword of Reverse Light

"You've dropped the ball again. This sentence is redundant!"

Toosaka Rin, who had just breathed a sigh of relief at the discovery of unexpected reinforcements, turned pale at Roland's teasing.

But she couldn't refute as she did in the past, because she was in a hurry to observe the battle situation on Saber's side and chose to send her familiars first instead of setting up a warning barrier. It was indeed her mistake. Otherwise, even if she couldn't beat Bazett, she could still delay for a while and try to let Saber come directly. How could the battle be so one-sided like now because of being caught off guard?

Since he discovered this trait passed down in the blood of the Toosaka family, Roland gave a lot of thoughtful comfort to Toosaka Rin, who was in disbelief at the time. He even said that it was a tradition of the Toosaka family to fail, and as the heir, she had to experience such infuriating words.

The reason why Toosaka Rin has become so cautious now is inseparable from her desire to prove herself in front of Roland.

"Really..." Roland shrugged, looking at the embarrassed look of Toosaka Rin, a teasing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "But you don't look very convincing right now."

“That’s true. Ahhh… No, now is not the time to argue with you about this. Come and help me!”

The girl swung her ponytails madly, clutching her arms, "What if I die here? You will never be able to get back the debt I owe you!"

"This reason is much more convincing than the previous one, but it's not enough. Rin, you know I'm not that keen on wealth. Even if I can't get it back, I won't care. What I care about is the price you paid and how important it was to you at that time."

Roland raised his eyebrows and looked at the unwilling Toosaka Rin with a smile, "So, regarding this contract, what are you going to pay?"

"Are you a demon from somewhere?"

The girl gritted her teeth in hatred and raised her brows.

Roland may indeed be a devil, but it is undeniable that he is quite generous. As long as he can indeed gain emotional value from himself, he will do it even if it is to help potential enemies where the sacrifice is not proportional to the reward. .

Because of this, Toosaka Rin needs to carefully consider what she is willing to pay.

Apart from her family, the most important thing to her is, of course, money. However, the current Toosaka family is not only penniless, but at least heavily in debt.

And she couldn't sell the seal even if she died. So she only had one bargaining chip left.

Although after thinking about this condition, Toosaka Rin already felt that this would have an unimaginable impact on her future life, she had no choice.

"I myself, until I pay off all the debts I owe you, you can let me work for you for free, but you also have to help me solve the crisis in front of me."

"This is really..."

Roland looked at Toosaka Rin with some surprise. He had underestimated her determination.

Even though she owes me a lot of money now, with Toosaka Rin officially becoming an apprentice, the debt can be paid off in a dozen years at most. After all, she is indeed a very good magician. During this time, I can use Toosaka Rin's labor for free, which is equivalent to doubling the debt on her head.

It seems that the opponent has indeed put a lot of determination into this Holy Grail War.

Roland put away his playful smile and looked serious.

"Well, as you wish, Rin, the deal is done."

He turned his head and looked at Bazette who was standing by, ready for battle.

I have to say that this kind of upright character is very useful. When faced with Toosaka Rin suddenly asking for help from enthusiastic citizens passing by during a battle, he was still able to resist interrupting her and instead chose to wait for the development of the situation. Both his patience and willpower are outstanding.

"So, you are Lancer's Master, Ms. Bazette, right?"

"Yes."

Although Bazette was somewhat surprised by Roland's intrusion, he did not make any unnecessary movements. He just stared at the Command Seal on the back of Roland's hand with sharp eyes.

That figure was the second-ranked Cherubim, and was ranked higher than himself. Did that mean he was better than the Master just named Rin? That would be a bit tricky, but this matter would not shake Bazette's will.

After receiving guidance from teacher Scathach, he no longer needed to be afraid of anyone among the masters.

"I'm sure you've heard the deal between me and Rin. If that's the case, please leave. After all, it's only the first night, and I don't want to make things too awkward."

Roland said with a smile, as if he was completely unaware of the growing pressure from Bazette.

"Excuse me, but you are not my target tonight. If you want to leave, I will not stop you. But if you insist on joining this dispute, I can only regard you as an enemy."

The look on Bazett's face was serious and solemn.

She was a very responsible person, especially since this was the only way she could repay Scathach.

"What a pity." Roland did not try to persuade him again, but just shook his head regretfully. "Although I admire your character, to be honest, this is not a smart move."

When Roland declared this, the runes on Bazett's gloves once again lit up with dazzling light. This change made her eyes become serious.

These runes transformed from the original runes lit up before she activated them, proving that the other party's words were not a joke. The battle-hardened Bazette was as keen on danger as a wild beast, and now, her intuition was ringing wildly, as if she was being targeted by her natural enemy.

She had no means to expel the pressure brought by the difference in status, and could only withstand it with willpower.

Is this guy in front of me really a human being and not some dead apostle? The legendary twenty-seven ancestors are probably just like this.

Bazette, who was facing a powerful enemy, did not even plan to launch an attack, for fear that a rash move would expose his weakness and disrupt the balance of the battle.

But compared to the serious Bazett, Roland was much more relaxed. With a mocking smile on his face, he took a step forward.

"Since you don't plan to come over, let me go first."

When Roland's footsteps landed on the ground again, he had already arrived in front of Bazette. However, what made Bazette even more incomprehensible than the fact that he had crossed a distance of more than ten meters in just one step was another situation.

With the help of enhanced magic and runes, she not only had the basic conditions to fight against the heroic spirits, but her dynamic vision and even her already sharp intuition would be further enhanced. Even if it was Scathach's attack, she would not be completely unresponsive. However, with the blessing of the original runes, she did not realize Roland's approach. This was really incredible.

Bazette's heart was filled with alarm, but he did not retreat. Instead, he rushed forward and hit Roland in the chest.

Generally speaking, when the enemy uses methods that you cannot understand, it is instinctive to avoid them quickly. Whether it is to gain some breathing time, save yourself, or to observe the enemy's methods and reorganize your posture. It's a good decision.

But this still cannot be called excellent. In the battle with Scathach, Bazette gradually understood that when the difference between the strong and the weak is too obvious, courage will become the key to determining victory or defeat.

As a weak person, if you want to win, you should be prepared to pay a price. The most important thing is whether you can find benefits in the payment.

Bazette narrowed his eyes and didn't care about Roland's next move. Instead, he turned his waist slightly, and with the momentum of rushing forward, he tensed all his strength and threw a punch directly at Roland.

The air made a dull sound under the squeeze of her fist, like an iron block being struck. When she was experimenting with the surge of power, the thick vault that was the target and the wall behind her were all struck by her. Hit directly through.

This was one of her most proud skills. With her physical fitness now reaching the average attribute of a Heroic Spirit due to the enhancement of magic, even if the opponent was truly a Servant, he would die if he took this blow head-on.

This is a victory for martial arts!To reach the realm of strength through weakness is the meaning of skill.

"Wow." Seeing this cold and rational decision, Roland also showed an interesting smile on his face. "Very good."

He calmly extended his palm and placed it in front of Bazett's fist without even making an attacking gesture.

Bazette's fist touched Roland without any surprise. However, everything that appeared in Bazette's eyes was completely different from what he expected.

"Kacha——!"

This was the sound of bones breaking. Bazette's arm, which was now harder than steel, had been destroyed beyond recognition. The broken white bones stuck out from the blurred flesh and blood, and much of the splattered blood had been blown onto her body by the countercurrent of the wind.

Under the influence of the recoil force, Bazette staggered back a few steps, looked at the shocking injuries, forced a breath of bloody air, mechanically refined his magic power, and began treatment with the fastest efficiency.

Looking at the gloves on his hands that were shining and full of cracks, Bazette was unable to suppress the burning pain in his lungs and chest. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, staining the corners of his mouth red.

If it weren't for the recent training in which Scathach always beat her up and then healed her, the blow just now would have been enough to directly wipe out her fighting spirit.

The fact that a full-strength attack couldn't even break the opponent's defense was enough to make any warrior despair, not to mention that Bazette had already deeply felt the incredible and terrifying power contained in the palm that Roland stretched out to block her attack.

After just the first confrontation, Bazette was convinced of one fact.

The other party is something more terrifying than so-called humans and servants.

"Aren't you ready yet? Then I have to come over again?"

Hearing the mocking voice, Bazette gritted his teeth, the light of the runes on his gloves became more and more obvious, he let out an angry roar, and rushed forward again.

The concrete floor beneath her feet exploded in an instant, as if it had been bombed, and suddenly turned into an elusive bolt of lightning, striking Roland with a force so heavy that even the air shook.

Even though he knew there was a huge gap between them, he still chose close combat which was disadvantageous to him. In Toosaka Rin's opinion, this was tantamount to trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm.

She knew how strong Bazett was. Under Kirei's instruction, she had also learned Bajiquan since she was a child. With the help of magic enhancement, she was a leader among magicians without the use of gems. However, she was completely defeated in front of Bazett.

But even if she were to put herself in the same situation, Toosaka Rin would rather waste the gems on futile resistance than engage in close combat with Roland.

Because she knew very well that Roland was not a human-shaped dragon at all.

As expected, in the face of Bazette's stubborn resistance, as if to prove how stupid her decision was, Roland not only did not continue to rely on his physical advantage, but also used fighting skills.
