Chapter 379: ·Schemed Against Again

【After Gray fought with the automaton for several rounds, the thing suddenly lowered its body, four limbs split into two sharp blades, and the only upright face suddenly split open, growing many eyes.】

【Is this feeling that Gray is hard to deal with, further enhancing its combat power?】

Caules: "This thing will deform according to the enemy's strength?"

Fiore: "Compared to this automaton, I feel my prosthetic limb technology content is so low."

Darnic: "After all, it is the work of a Grand Magus."

Astolfo: "It's just this shape, I really can't compliment it."

Looking at this weird three-headed and six-armed form, it's even more bizarre.

【Facing the six sharp blades similar to a spider, Gray fell into a disadvantage directly and could only enter passive defense, but was soon cut on her right arm.】

【Just when the automaton was about to kill, a ray of light interrupted its attack, letting Gray seize the opportunity to knock it away.】

【The one who took action was Reines, using the most ordinary curse bullet.】

【Reines: "I can at least manage this level."】

【The automaton climbed up from the grass, and its gaze fell on the two girls again.】

【Gray: "Ad!"】

【The girl and the scythe began to absorb the surrounding magic to strengthen themselves.】

【The automaton's three faces showed a weird smile, and it rushed back with a wild run, fighting with Gray again.】

【"Pa!"】

【This time, the doll's sharp blades were smashed to pieces by Gray.】

【Ad: "Heeheehee, we have never lost when it comes to strength using this move!"】

Knight of Treachery: "This is right; if we lose to this kind of toy, it really stains the prestige of the Holy Spear."

Shishigou Kairi: "Hmm, you still care about this?"

Knight of Treachery: "Nonsense, if the prestige of the Holy Spear is damaged, won't my reputation be damaged just the same after being killed by it?"

Shishigou Kairi: "... I don't think so; you're thinking too much."

【"One more time!"】

【Following Ad's shout, Gray swung her scythe.】

【But the next moment, the automaton's mouth suddenly split open, and a weird organ like a visceral spear rushed out from it.】

Tohsaka Rin: "I'm going, there's still a weapon in the mouth!"

Tohsaka Tokiomi: "It's really unexpected, catching the opponent off guard."

Emiya Kiritsugu: "That woman is really cunning, making people unable to guard against it."

【Logically speaking, such a close-range surprise attack definitely couldn't be dodged, but Gray showed a very high reaction ability, doing a backflip to dodge this attack.】

【But the automaton didn't pursue further, instead taking the opportunity to jump onto a tree and quickly disappeared into the white fog.】

【Gray: "Did it escape?"】

【Ad: "Seems so, hehehe."】

【Reines: "Then, what about Trimmau?"】

Illya: "Did it escape? So amazing!"

Achilles: "Haha, this agility and reaction ability are still pretty good."

Atalanta: "However, why did that automaton retreat on its own? Wasn't it just in a life-and-death struggle?"

Kotomine Shirou: "Very simple, the enemy's goal has been achieved."

Empress: "Sure enough, it's a little girl, schemed against by the killer again."

【Reines thought for a while and took out a chain with a purple crystal embedded at the front from her bosom.】

【This is a tool for magical exploration 'Dowsing' used to find underground water sources and mineral veins.】

【Because Gray absorbed the magic around her just now, the barrier around it became weak, which is a good opportunity to break through.】

【"Adjust it..."】

【Reines wrapped the chain around her wrist, the purple crystal hung straight down, gathered power according to the direction the Mystic Eyes felt heat, and swung the chain with all her might.】

【"Come, Thou, betray your sign!"】

【The white fog around suddenly swayed, although it didn't disappear completely, the field of vision had become much clearer, revealing the front of the forest.】

【"Move fast!"】

【Reines pulled Gray and rushed out quickly, successfully rushing out of the barrier.】

【Outside the barrier is an open land and a clear spring.】

【However, it is no longer clear now.】

【A quiet figure is lying quietly on the spring.】

【It is Karina, or Lei Jina, temporarily unable to distinguish.】

【Lei Jina is the name of the other maid responsible for serving the Silver Princess.】

【And beside the spring, Trimmau stood quietly, the bright red on her hands so dazzling.】

Waver: "!!!"

Kotomine Shirou: "Sure enough."

Illya: "No way, the mercury maid killed someone!"

Tohsaka Rin: "Idiot, this is clearly framing and blaming!"

Kayneth: "Sigh, Reines, this girl, was led by the nose by the opponent again."

Emiya Kiritsugu: "The killer had long expected her to investigate the footprints; this is a trap."

Darnic: "Not over yet; if you want to frame someone, how can you do it without an eyewitness?"

【"Reines... Master."】

【Trimmau turned her head stiffly; her magical connection with Reines had not yet been restored.】

【Reines: "Trimmau, you..."】

【"Oh, wait, in this situation, should we protect the crime scene, or should we say, arrest the perpetrator in the act?"】

【A figure walked out of the forest; it was Inorai.】

【Gray: "Lord Balereta, why are you here?"】

【Inorai: "Likewise, I just felt a strange magical aura, so I came over to see."】

【Afterward, Inorai grabbed a handful of things from the small bag on her waist and threw them out with a short spell.】

【It was sand; the thrown sand seemed to come alive, binding Trimmau.】

【"Karina..."】 ===== CHAPTER 381 =====
