Chapter 74: Desperate Raid(1/2)
Calmly breaking the contract with the server and the master, Archer stood in front of me in a solid shape.
“…”
Without any words, he waved his sword silently, determined to take my life.
Damn it—
I actually died in my own hands like this.
No matter how hard I struggled, I could not escape the pursuit of the magic sword. The bloodthirsty blade cut a few scars in my dodge and finally aimed at my heart.
"Go to die--!"
Am I going to die?
Leave this world and follow Saber's footsteps.
saber-
Saber suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
I sank myself into the endless river of stars, and my consciousness flowed with the waves. The pure white girl appeared in front of me like a flash of cereus blooming.
The right hand that had already disappeared from the curse seemed to be getting hot.
The girl opened her holy green eyes, her eyes clear and ethereal.
She opened her cherry-colored lips toward me.
“…”
She is calling me.
Saber——!
Did she call me in another world?
The curse is still hot.
No--
Something broke my fantasy, Saber's voice seemed to appear in my ears.
——Saber is still alive.
There is still somewhere in this world.
Even though she lost the curse, she was still communicating with me through a certain contact.
A huge joy enveloped me, and I was about to shout out to the magic knife that was about to pierce into my heart.
Looking at my Mo Ming's expression of joy, Archer's expression shook for a moment, but his sword was still stabbing.
"Go and save s..."
I reached out to Archer and tried to deliver his last wish to him.
Suddenly, the black game passed between me and the archer, reversing the archer's attack.
"asshole……"
Archer unwilling to pick up the flying chain and moves towards me, but the wind descending from the sky whizzes past me again, lifting Archer away.
The wind stopped beside me, revealing a tall female figure.
“rider——!”
The sound of archer gritting teeth was clearly audible in the darkness.
The purple long hair flew like life, and the cool sound of rider was like a spring in the dark.
"archer, that's it."
"Get out of here, this is a matter between me and him."
"Even if you have the name of Shirou Emiya, I won't let you kill him."
Rider's voice was stern. She appeared around her at some point and heard all the conversations I had with Archer.
"rider, you can't stop me. You can't stop me in Liudong Temple. You can't stop me this time."
Archer resolutely summoned his bow, and the alien sword appeared in his other hand.
"But I can save him."
The rider ignored the archer's threat and helped me up, then held me hard and pushed me to a certain position.
I felt a warm body. As my body leaned on me, a white horse appeared under me, carrying me quietly standing beside the rider.
"My child will take Shirou Emiya, and I will do my best to stop you from attacking Shirou."
Rider's voice was still so calm, and he was determined to use his life to block Archer. The unexpected situation made the Red Knight even more angry.
"You are actually determined to use your life to save Shirou Emiya, and you are willing to give him your favorite mount. Is it necessary to do this?"
The rider was silent. She quietly stood in front of me and expressed my determination with her actions.
"rider, you can't do this!"
I struggled and said, the archer in front of me had already hit his sword.
"There is still a way, wait a moment-"
The pure white horse was retreating and ready to fly at any time.
"Wait a minute, archer, you can't kill her."
Archer seemed to be hesitating, but his arrows remained unwavering.
"This is her own way of seeking death-"
"But your only goal is me-!"
"It's late—"
"No, we have another way-!"
I shouted at Archer excitedly, and finally delayed the Red Knight's movement again.
"Tomorrow night, the castle of Einzberen."
My throat was shaking, and I made this suggestion that I couldn't believe.
"What?"
"No one interferes, only you and me."
"Shirou, you can't do this."
Rider's voice became anxious.
"——Hmm, it seems you have realized something, Shirou Emiya"
"I will come alone to prove to you which of us is more qualified to survive."
"The last one who survives will take Iriya away, and I believe you will go to the appointment."
Archer specifically mentioned the girl he took away.
"One word is determined-!"
"One word is determined-!"
A reluctant agreement was left, and Archer's figure disappeared.
The rider turned around and worriedly supported me who was lying on the sky.
"Emiya Shirou, you will die like this."
The tall servant with long purple hair was full of worry.
~~~~~~~ World~~ Need~~ Divide~~ Line~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At dusk, the betrayed witch changed into her daily household clothes, put on the magician's dark cloak again, and appeared alone on a path. She looked out from a distance, and the church of Dongmu stood quietly on the top of the hillside in front.
All the Servant were summoned and discussed here to deal with the black warriors and their masters who participated in the Holy Grail War in violation of regulations. The church said this message to the caster.
However, when the caster left Lord Soichiro and came here alone to look at the church on the slope top, the ominous feeling was lingering.
As the caster with the strongest position production and reconnaissance ability, she once extended her tentacles to every corner of the city. No movement can escape her gaze. She also has a lot of information about the priest Yan Feng Kirei who lives in the church.
The former church runner, a participant in the last Holy Grail War, survived by chance after failure.
He once became a half-baked magician who had only experienced several years of magic training. If he was indeed a powerful magician, he would not have failed in the previous Holy Grail War.
As a magician of the gods, he is not a professional scout. The information on the caster's investigation is extremely detailed and does not pose much threat to her no matter how she looks at it.
However, if I have been so close to death recently, caster felt that he was particularly sensitive to death. The quiet church ahead was like a ferocious beast lying quietly on the top of the slope in the dark, looking down at her coldly with a ruthless look as if she was looking at food.
If the other party is really summoning all the servers, then her reconnaissance eye will definitely see the traces of other servers.
While considering it, the caster investigated the surrounding situation and unknowingly approached the church.
Suddenly, a sound broke the tranquility of the night.
