Chapter 73

[This poor little deaf-mute fellow seems to have sensed the oppressive atmosphere, nervously pulling on Medea's hem, wanting to stop the two from arguing.]

"Ah, how did these two groups form an alliance?!"

Instantly, many people frown, somewhat doubting life.

Is this the correct way to play the Holy Grail War?

Saber-Archer alliance.

Caster-Assassin alliance.

Form teams first to eliminate the others, then have a civil war, and the winner lifts the Holy Grail?

But thinking of the terrifying combat power of Heracles, everyone relaxes their brows and nods somewhat naturally.

This is more like it~.

Big bosses should be fought in groups.

Soon.

Regarding everyone's confusion about the Caster-Assassin alliance, the Sky Curtain provides an explanation.

Ryudou Temple is a building built above the ley line of Fuyuki City, belonging to a naturally formed magical territory.

Hideyoshi's magical attainments are quite good, which is why he chose to summon Assassin here...

But for Medea of the Caster class, the same logic applies.

After losing the magical territory that Aki Tomoya had managed into a copper wall and iron fortress, she urgently needs to create a territory of the same level to resist the top three cavalry Servants.

Both sides meet at Ryudou Temple soon.

This is the "opening battle" of the Holy Grail War, the battle between Assassin and Caster!

And then...

There is no then.

Neither Medea nor Sasaki Kojirou expected it.

Hideyoshi and Nishimiya Shouko are best friends, and "she" only wants to protect the other.

...To be precise, the mage Kinoshita Hideyoshi participated in the Holy Grail War, holding the determination to fall in the cruel slaughter, just to lift the Holy Grail and cure Shouko's illness with the omnipotent wish-granting machine.

It's a case of the flood destroying the Dragon King's temple.

Afterward, both sides naturally formed an alliance.

Being at Ryudou Temple, the Caster-Assassin alliance even has the confidence to hang and beat the top three cavalry.

For the Saber-Archer combination against the Berserker, this Reverse Reverse Side is also happy to see it.

The more intense the fight, the better; it's best to expose all the trump cards and have a few more exit the stage.

The Caster-Assassin alliance can just sit back and enjoy the success!

["Clang clang clang clang—!!"]

[In the mountainous area on the west Reverse Reverse Side of Fuyuki City, two heroic figures are slaughtering, and brilliant sparks are splashing everywhere.]

[The sound of weapons clashing is incessant, the earth's skin is torn and rolled up, the cloud layer for a hundred miles is shaken apart again and again, the magnificent mythological battle is still unfolding, and the heroic epic feeling rushing towards one's face is suffocating!]

[The Archer is at a high vantage point in the distance, shooting countless missile arrows.]

["Rumble...!!"]

[The violent explosion plows hundreds of meters of earth flat, and the air is compressed and blasted out in rolling waves.]

[However...]

[No damage from the smoke.]

["Tch..."]

[On the building, the white-haired female Heroic Spirit frowns slightly, feeling somewhat tricky.]

[Facing Heracles, who is clad in dragon armor and carries the Twelve Labors, the Archer's normal attacks aren't even qualified to scratch an itch.]

[To pierce that hard armor, at least an A-rank Noble Phantasm is needed.]

[The Knight King cannot release her trump card Noble Phantasm, seemingly able to stalemate with Heracles in a melee battle.]

[In reality, the decline is fully revealed, falling into a disadvantage step by step, with danger at every turn...]

[The white-robed noble son wanders on the edge of the battlefield, frowning; he uses amethyst for reconnaissance to turn the emerald bird into a familiar, circling in the sky.]

[At the same time, he uses gem magecraft to fight for a glimmer of hope for Artoria.]

[If even gem projectiles can't affect it, he will rush up using reinforcement magecraft, using the Gan Gan Jiang projected by the white-haired female Heroic Spirit to block key attacks.]

[Of course, resisting a Heroic Spirit with a human body, even for a brief moment, has a price.]

[Reinforcement magecraft was used for less than five minutes in total, and Luo Shu's physical body is almost overloaded; if he were to force it again, it is very likely that his whole body's cells would collapse and die.]

[Just like an electronic product that is overloaded and smoking, urgently needing heat dissipation.]

[This forces the white-robed noble son to wander on the edge of AOE, letting the Knight King play the main force, and personally rush to help after he has rested.]

[But even so, Artoria is almost at her limit.]

[Time passes rapidly, and the battle situation changes in an instant...]

["Thump thump...!!"]

[Heracles roars, seizing a fatal flaw of the blonde female knight, his pitch-black toes suddenly kicking the Knight King away, like a speeding cannonball, crashing and breaking several mountains.]

[Saber grits her teeth, trying to stay in mid-air, wanting to draw her sword to resist the enemy.]

[But that burly giant is faster than her, suddenly leaping to a thousand meters in the air, that powerful stone axe slashing down, the intense repulsion blasting out rolling airflow, tearing the vacuum, as if to split heaven and earth...]

[Yukino is anxious, Archer grits her teeth and nocks an arrow wanting to snipe, the white-robed noble son throws a magical gem.]

[But it seems somewhat too late.]

["Don't...!!"]

[Many British people are anxious, and sounds of anxious pleading resound throughout the world.]

[Venting, hysterical venting, shouting, almost crazy shouting.]

[Who can accept the exit of such a holy and noble king?]

[Absolutely cannot accept it!]

[Suddenly.]

[On the Sky Curtain, a magic spear flashing with cold light appears on the battlefield, wildly killing towards the high sky!]

[Domineering and wanton.]

["—Clang!"]

[The crisp and loud sound resounds between heaven and earth, stylishly blocking that fatal axe.]

[Who is it?]

[People are incredibly confused, feeling somewhat familiar.]

[Suddenly, someone recalls previous memories, their expression dazed...]

[It's him!]

[Child of Light, Cu Chulainn!.]

62. Noble Phantasm release, the blood-colored thunder tearing the sky!

[The moonlight is hazy, and everyone looks over in surprise.]

[The collapsed mountain body ignites with raging flames, and the scorched battle situation has a turning point.]

["Thump...!!"]

[After the fatal blow is blocked, the burly giant roars and falls from the high sky, his pitch-black feet landing on the mountainside, crashing out a pit several meters deep on the road, his scarlet eyes staring fixedly at the invading enemy.]

[The danger avoidance ability honed through many adventures, the Mind's Eye tells him that this is not an easy enemy to deal with.]

[Very strong, needs to be dealt with seriously.]

[Observe first...]

[Immediately, heroic laughter comes.]

["Really miserable~, little girl~."]

[The magic spear falls from the high sky, the man in the blue tight suit smiles, raises his thick and powerful arm, catches it steadily with a click, and skillfully twirls a beautiful spear flower in his hand.]

[While making people feel refreshed and unrestrained, it is also somewhat amiable.]

[The way of appearance is unusually handsome, making everyone present feel slightly shocked.]

["...Are you Lancer?!"]

[On the ground, Artoria gets up holding her injured shoulder, her expression somewhat suspicious, seemingly not understanding why she was saved by a potential enemy.]
