There actually is a True Ancestor?!
But Kaito Shirogane couldn't imdiately identify the other party's exact identity. Not every one of the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostle Ancestors had been seen.
Clang!
At this ti, Kaito Shirogane's lower back moved. In the next mont, a miserable scream rang out.
Kaito Shirogane withdrew his finger, seeing Emiya Shirou engulfed in Blazing Flas, rolling continuously on the ground.
Tohsaka Rin tried to use magecraft to extinguish this fla.
Although the boy was in pain, there wasn't much regret in his eyes.
He already disliked this Assassin who acted weirdly and often emitted terrifying killing intent.
Seeing the other party pierce a finger into his adoptive father's glabella, he completely couldn't restrain himself and directly thrust his sword at the other party's lower back.
But it was unknown whether the other party was wearing so special armor or had so special magic defense on his body surface.
Anyway, when he thrust it, it felt like stabbing onto steel.
Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes also beca clearer at this ti. It seed that the electric current stimulating his brain just now allowed him to recover more sanity.
In the flesh and blood on his glabella, there were so things resembling black mud squirming. Soon, the wound healed again.
Seeing this terrifying Servant turn his head to look at Emiya Shirou, he subconsciously spoke up.
"Don't..."
In that great fire of Fuyuki City, he ultimately saved no one. Only this child stubbornly survived, as if it were compensation for all his wrongdoings.
Emiya Kiritsugu raised Emiya Shirou, as if entrusting everything to this appearance.
Kaito Shirogane's finger slowly moved.
Clang!
The sound of armor and sword blade rang out. Saber blocked in front of her Master.
"Servant Saber, ready to fight you at any ti."
Her expression was serious. Even having witnessed rcenary Tao's weird speed and powerful strength, as long as it was necessary, Saber was ready to fight the other party at any ti.
Kaito Shirogane looked at the erald-like eyes of this petite woman, devoid of any confusion or fear.
Is that the rigidity of strictly adhering to the so-called Path of the King and Path of the Knight, or the [True Heart] of still sticking to herself after seeing through everything?
I want to know, I'm very curious...
Kaito Shirogane raised his hand towards Saber, his finger seemingly pointing straight at those eyes.
Saber stared unblinkingly at rcenary Tao's movents, the ahoge on her head seemingly stagnating. She knew very well that the person before her was probably a Martial Arts Grandmaster beyond imagination from a certain era.
A powerful martial artist who challenged various monsters with a human body.
After becoming a Heroic Spirit, completely not relying on various magical energy and magecraft, this body and technique beca the most terrifying killing weapon.
Being too close to the other party, having lost [The Everdistant Utopia · Avalon], there was a considerable possibility she would be killed by the other party.
But that didn't matter.
Sothing like death wasn't a very terrifying outco for Saber; it was just sowhat a pity.
Buzz~
Golden luster faintly blood between her hands. An aura of power that caused palpitations was constantly rising at an exponential rate.
At first, it was still a level that ordinary Servants and Strong-tier Reincarnators could display.
But a mont later, it had already turned into signs of a terrifying energy release that even Kaito Shirogane found hard to match.
In the next mont, that appalling aura made the ends of Kaito Shirogane's hair begin to turn white. He almost instinctively wanted to activate [Kaioken].
This is... the Sword of Promised Victory...
The Noble Phantasm presiding over the pinnacle of holy swords, the so-called Holy Sword of the Planet?!
Boom!
A terrifying explosion erupted from the rear of Ryuudou Temple.
Amidst violent trembling, the cliff began to tilt.
The whole mountain actually began to collapse?
With a crack, the neat ground stone slabs of Ryuudou Temple ford huge gullies spreading towards the surroundings.
Rumble!
Ryuudou Temple collapsed a step ahead.
Amidst the rising smoke and dust, Emiya Kiritsugu suddenly leaped up, grabbed his adoptive father—who had just extinguished the flas on his body and was covered in wounds—and rushed into the smoke and dust.
He knew very well that with that scabbard inside his body, Shirou completely wouldn't die from this level of injury.
"Saber..."
Emiya Shirou spoke with difficulty. After coming into contact with Tohsaka Rin and the others today, he already knew that as a Master, he was actually dragging Saber down.
Not only could he not supply her with magical energy, but it was even harder to provide her with any help.
At this ti, he actively called for the other party to leave together.
Saber looked at rcenary Tao, who was only a ter away from her. The light on the holy sword concealed by the [Invisible Air] in her hands gradually extinguished.
In her current state, releasing her Noble Phantasm was extrely forced. And the other party possessed weird mobility. If the Sword of Promised Victory didn't kill the other party,
She, Shirou, and the others would highly likely all die.
Saber retreated backward.
Kaito Shirogane didn't stop her. He perceived the aura of intense magical energy. A massive amount of black mud appeared below Ryuudou Temple!
He looked at the seemingly entirely collapsing "world," lifted his right foot, and stomped violently.
Boom!
The square outside Ryuudou Temple exploded with a bang, instantly falling downwards.
Kaito Shirogane himself went headfirst, constantly leaping among the rocks. He finally saw the scene below amidst the smoke and mist.
A black giant slapped the Ice Demon · Juro into the mountain body.
Heroic Spirit Emiya and Tohsaka Rin were also fighting and retreating.
That is... Berserker?!
Illya swung her legs, sitting in the apartnt. She looked at the misty drizzle outside the window. Because the distance was too far, it was sowhat difficult to perceive Assassin's location at this ti.
"Does Assassin want to end this Holy Grail War by himself..."
The young girl murmured, then revealed a weird smile.
"That won't do. Illya exists for this Holy Grail War."
Tap, tap, tap.
Heavy footsteps ca from the stairs. In the next second, the sound of soone knocking on the door was heard.
Illya stood up unguarded, preparing to go open the door.
Boom!
Flas exploded, and the entire apartnt was completely enveloped by high temperature and fire.
"How is it, did it succeed?!"
Soone shouted from below, completely not concealing his intention.
That was a man wearing a black earpiece, with an antenna-like thing behind the earpiece, wearing a jacket.
And the man standing amidst the high temperature and flas wore tal with a dazzling gold and red paint job. This was the Mark II suit from Iron Man.
Although it couldn't compare to those subsequent ultra-high-tech components, facing plot characters with an ordinary technological level, it already possessed a quite overwhelming performance advantage.
Scan results constantly jumped on the panel, but the other party was not found.
"Soone saved her. Activate the electromagnetic scan of the surroundings!"
He spoke, and the man below imdiately turned the earpiece, as if adjusting the frequency to another height.
In the next mont, accompanied by a zzt-zzt sound.
Blue-white pulses began to light up around the apartnt.
They didn't have much understanding of magecraft, but conversely, those magi didn't have very good counterasures against technology-side Reincarnators like them either.
"Found her. Underground. It's... Black Cannibal Flower!"
His face changed. Before he had ti to continue explaining, a flowing light lit up from the distant street.
The instant he turned his head, the purple flowing light had already crossed the hundreds of ters of block, appearing beside him. A hand grabbed his head and brought him flying with a boom, smashing into another block hundreds of ters away.
Whoosh~ Bang!
Micro-missiles were launched, but easily dodged by dusa.
"Quickly let that guy make a move!"
The man wearing the battle armor constantly bombed the surroundings, but dusa was too fast. He cursed loudly in the communication channel.
In the next mont, footsteps sounded. A Heroic Spirit wearing a black kimono appeared from the corner of the street.
"Damn it, it's actually not Gilgash. We were played by White Mask!"
"Tell the captain, the deal is can..."
Pfft!
A sharp blade pierced through the steel battle armor, pinning the second half of his sentence dead. The Heroic Spirit who was just at the street corner appeared out of thin air from behind him.
That spear-like sharp blade was not so much a spear as it was a weird shape of two large nodachi combined into one.
