Skill extraction from Dragon Clan

Chapter 297

At night, in a forest on the outskirts of Fuyuki City.

Zheng Shu and Matou Ying stood quietly in place, and the sound of insects could be heard from time to time in the secluded forest. The deep darkness made Matou Ying unconsciously get closer to Zheng Shu.

Looking at the castle in the distance, Zheng Shu raised his eyebrows in surprise.

He didn't expect that a remote forest he chose at random would be the territory of Einzbern Castle, but that's right, all the Yusan families are big landlords in Fuyuki City, and it's not that they don't have much property in Fuyuki City.

Zheng Shu glanced at the direction of the castle. He could already hear footsteps coming from this direction. It seemed that they had been discovered.

But Zheng Shu didn't just want to deal with Artoria and the others tonight, so he just glanced at the shadowy figure and stopped paying attention.

Taking a deep breath, the black mist on Zheng Shu's body seemed to freeze for a bit.

then……

boom!
Invisible power erupted from Zheng Shu's body, and the black mist on his body surged like a bursting flame. The extremely aggressive will to fight was mixed with Longwei, and along with the coercion that Zheng Shu radiated outward, spread towards the entire Fuyuki City.

Although the extremely expanded range will make the coercion almost useless, the fighting will mixed in it is enough to remind all those who have reached a certain level of strength and tell their position, and this is the invitation letter that Zheng Shu sent out.

"It's an astonishing power."

While Zheng Shu sent out his "invitation letter", Altria and Irisviel in neat armor also appeared in front of the two of them, but they did not attack in a hurry, but waited for Zheng Shu to complete his actions.

Feeling the terrifying coercion emanating from Zheng Shu combined with Longwei, even Artoria couldn't help expressing emotion. Few of her Knights of the Round Table could achieve this level of power.

And this is because the opponent is now a Servant, and the coercion shown is only a part of the opponent's strength. It is impossible to imagine how terrifying the Berserker in front of him was in his heyday.

"Berserker..." Arturia looked at the familiar black figure in front of her with a serious expression on her face, "Are you planning to completely end the Holy Grail War tonight? How confident!"

After detecting the enemy's traces in the castle, she thought that Berserker had discovered their hiding place, so she came out and prepared to fight.

But I didn't expect that the other party didn't care after seeing their figures, and instead stopped to release their fighting spirit. Such behavior also made Arturia realize.

After sighing, Artoria didn't have any thought of escaping, but raised the sword in her hand.

She knew that her chances of winning were very low, and she could only try it if she had enough time to release the treasure, but judging from the speed shown by the other party in the previous battle, she definitely had no such chance without help.

Of course, Arturia also has another choice now, that is to wait for other servants to come over, and then try to release the treasure to fight under the restraint of other servants.

Judging from the behavior of Berserker and his master these days, they would never care about such a scheme.

Or for them, they never care about the number of enemies. Whether it is the master or the servant, they all have absolute trust in each other. This kind of bond is very enviable to Artoria.

However, as the King of Knights, Artoria also has her own pride, and she will never refuse challenges from others!

"It may take a while before other servants come here, so before that, let's continue the unfinished battle last night!"

Faced with Arturia's invitation to fight, Matou Sakura also made her own choice: "Go! Berserker!"

In the eyes of Arturia and Irisviel, Matou Sakura poured a lot of magic power into her Servant while saying these words, and Berserker's eyes burst into golden light, and the black mist that had calmed down surged again.

boom!
With a loud bang on the ground, Zheng Shu disappeared from Artoria's sight.

coming!

Her keen intuition instantly allowed Arturia to determine the enemy's position. The moment Zheng Shu disappeared, Arturia also swung her sword to her left side.

clang!
Dazzling metal sparks bloomed from the position where the two clashed, surging power was transmitted from Zheng Shu's fist to the sword body, and the terrifying magic power even dispelled part of the storm wrapped around the holy sword in an instant, making the sword body appear for a moment.

While swinging his fist, Zheng Shu raised his foot and kicked Artoria's abdomen like repeating the old trick.

However, Arturia, who had already suffered a loss, was prepared for this. She had experienced the horror of the enemy's strength. Once hit by such an attack, she would lose her combat power instantly. Unless the command spell was used, the end of the battle could almost be confirmed.

Therefore, after feeling the power transmitted by the holy sword in her hand, Artoria did not make any resistance. Instead, she followed the power to make her body retreat, and narrowly avoided Zheng Shu's kick.

Hiss!

Although it was true that he had escaped the attack, Zheng Shu's attack speed was too fast, so the armor on Artoria's abdomen was still scratched.

And at the moment of contact, the armor that looked solid was easily torn apart, and the broken pieces left scars on Artoria's body under the influence of the strong wind.

However, Zheng Shu was surprised to find that while Arturia, who had retreated more than ten meters in an instant, stopped, the seemingly not-so-light injury on her abdomen had completely healed, while Irisviel, who was standing in the distance, did not show any signs of using healing magic.

This is... the scabbard?
Zheng Shu raised his eyebrows involuntarily, and glanced vaguely at Irisviel in the distance.

Sure enough, after careful observation, Zheng Shu found that Irisviel's physical condition was obviously much worse than what she saw before, and she was still weakening with the passage of time. It seemed that she had indeed temporarily returned the scabbard in her body to Artoria.

It seems that I have caused a lot of pressure on them...

Panting, Arturia looked seriously at Berserker who was not pursuing in the distance.

Even though she was mentally prepared, Arturia still felt a shock. There should be no omissions in the confrontation with the opponent. Once a certain mistake occurs, she may be directly defeated by the opponent's terrifying power.

The most troublesome thing is...

Artoria's eyes couldn't help but glanced at Irisviel, and she could clearly feel that Irisviel's breath of life decayed rapidly after returning the scabbard to her.

Even if it's just for the sake of her life, Artoria must try her best to make a quick decision.

Sighing helplessly, Artoria felt just like what Lancer said before, seeing such a brave opponent, but unable to report their names to each other due to the influence of madness is really helpless.

Even under the influence of madness, the skills of the opponent still surpassed most of the enemies. It was hard to imagine how peak skills Berserker had when he was sober.

Zheng Shu: "..."

Bang!
A muffled sound came from Arturia's body, and the metal armor on her body turned into spirit particles and slowly dissipated.

This is Artoria's initiative to shatter the armor made of magic power on her body. With Berserker's power, these armors can't provide any protective effect at all, and even if they are scratched like just now, they will cause additional damage to her body.

Facing an enemy like Berserker, Artoria could only choose to dodge.

That being the case, it's better to simply give up all defenses and choose the lightest equipment to improve your agility as much as possible.

"It's coming! Berserker!" Arturia changed her passive appearance after removing her armor.

The storm on the Sword of Vowed Victory rolled rapidly, and even the outline of the sword body could be faintly visible. Artoria lowered the concealment of her Wind King Barrier and increased its destructive power. Then she raised the long sword in her hand and launched an attack on Zheng Shu.

……

……

"Even after obtaining Avalon, can it only reach this level?"

In a jungle in the distance, Emiya Kiritsugu's expression was a bit ugly.

Through the sniper scope, he could see the two fighting figures in the distance, and the terrifying aura emanating from the two sides has far exceeded the level that humans can intervene.

Emiya Kiritsugu had no doubt that even if he shot towards Berserker now, the sniper bullets fired would be deflected under the influence of the aftermath of the battle between the two sides.If you want to really intervene in the battle between the two servants, you must at least have a heavy weapon of the artillery level.

Seeing the battlefield in the distance, Emiya Kiritsugu was very helpless. After taking back Avalon, Artoria's strength had been greatly improved, but she still fought very hard on the frontal battlefield.

You must know that after recovering Avalon, Artoria's various attributes have been greatly improved, and she has also gained a recovery speed that exceeds the limit of normal creatures.

But when facing Berserker, Artoria's situation is still not good.

Every time the two sides collide, Arturia needs to rely on the high-speed recovery provided by Avalon to restore her hands and body, otherwise, just the aftermath and the power transmitted from the holy sword can smash her arms into twists.

And even after taking off the metal armor, Artoria's movement speed was still at a disadvantage, and she could only rely on her intuition to dodge Berserker's attack every time.

However, with the power of Berserker, even if Artoria dodged the opponent's fist, the blowing wind would be enough to tear the skin on Artoria's surface. Even with the recovery provided by Avalon, the continuous injuries were constantly draining Artoria's energy and magic power.

Berserker's situation is different from other Heroic Spirits, he is really special, the strength of this guy does not lie in the instant destruction caused by the release of the Noble Phantasm, but in the power, speed and defense far beyond common sense.

Under such circumstances, even Avalon can't play the biggest role. Once the opponent seizes the opportunity, Artoria will be beaten into meatloaf by Berserker even if Avalon recovers.

"So... the only chance is the Master?" Emiya Kiritsugu still did not give up his plan to deal with Matou Sakura directly.

But he is also very clear that once he pulls the trigger, he will face Berserker's desperate counterattack, and the relationship between him and Artoria will reach an irreparable point.

Even with the strengthening of the inherent timing, Emiya Kiritsugu was not sure that he could escape Berserker's final attack.After all, with the intuition and strength shown by that guy, even just throwing a stone is enough to achieve an effect that surpasses that of a sniper rifle.

Besides...

Emiya Kiritsugu subconsciously glanced at the back of his hand, there were only two Command Seals left on it.

According to the rules of the Holy Grail War, if Emiya Kiritsugu wants to obtain the Holy Grail, at least one command spell must be left behind to make Arturia commit suicide, which means that he only has one command spell that can be used to direct Artoria to do things.

But once he shoots, his sex with Artoria means that he has completely lost control over the servants. Can the remaining command spell really help him win the next victory?
While thinking about it, Emiya Kiritsugu aimed the sight of the sniper scope at Matou Sakura who was standing outside, and then just as he expected, a terrifying killing intent locked on his body instantly.

"Monster! Is there still power left in such a fierce battle?" Emiya Kiritsugu's face was rather ugly, he couldn't imagine where the upper limit of Berserker's strength was.

It was the same when the other party was besieged by three servants at the port before. Although he was deeply involved in the vortex of the battle, he still had the energy to pay attention to his Master.

Feeling the increasingly terrifying killing intent oppressing him, Emiya Kiritsugu had no choice but to shift the muzzle of his gun and look elsewhere.

But at this moment, through the sniper scope, Emiya Kiritsugu accidentally discovered another black figure in a dense forest not far from the battlefield.

"Assassin? Sure enough, he is not dead. It seems that his clone ability is much stronger than expected." Emiya Kiritsugu was not surprised that Assassin was still alive.

After all, there is Irisviel, the living humanoid Holy Grail, by his side, so it is natural to know that several followers' spiritual foundations have been recovered.

But the moment he saw this assassin, Emiya Kiritsugu immediately had a new idea in his heart: "Maiya, pay attention to my signal!"
