Zongman: Beginning with the Killer Queen

Facing Saber's arrogance, Archer's face, which had the upper hand, remained unmoved. Although he was a little curious as to why Saber could still be so confident despite such a disparity in strength, this did not affect his continued use of the weapon in his hand. The God-given bow is fully drawn.

The heroic spirit named Karna was never an arrogant enemy, and even among saints of noble character, he was called humble.

Although he always only speaks half of his words, causing many unnecessary misunderstandings among his enemies, Archer does not lie.

After understanding Saber's power and skills, Archer still did not change his evaluation before the war, and was even more certain that he would win. There was a reason. Saber had not noticed it yet, even if she had some trump card that could reverse the situation. It is impossible to beat yourself.

Because there is a fundamental gap between the two that cannot be bridged.

At the same moment Archer raised his bow, the strong wind gathered like a tide, and Saber once again raised the holy sword that shone with golden light under the night sky, rising into the sky just like before.

"boom--!"

As if being run over by a chariot, dense, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ground that Saber stepped on. However, before the miserable sound of the broken earth spread, it was buried by the war drums played by the turbulent atmosphere.

After recharging her momentum, Saber suddenly turned into a blurry phantom, galloping through the strong wind in the air where she could not rely on her strength. The speed was three minutes faster than before. The invisible air waves continued to stir up waves, and where Saber stepped on A deep ravine was left behind, as if she had used her sword to draw a tide full of fighting and killing intent that was going to wash away everything.

What greeted Saber was an overwhelming, scorching red.

The moment the bright flaming arrows left the golden divine bow, they turned into red flames in the blink of an eye, as if they were about to burn everything. They rolled and jumped, and the overflowing high temperature continued to radiate, Devouring everything around it.

With Archer also using magic power, even though the speed was much faster than before, Saber's path forward was still difficult.

The roar of the red beam under the silent sky was like a roaring dragon. Even compared to the white dragon that contained the power of the islands, his power was not inferior.

For a moment, Saber's vision had no effect at all. She couldn't hear Archer's voice, nor could she see any trace of him. Even if she used all her five senses, she could only see everything made of dazzling red, and there were constant... The incoming arrows turned into a roaring beam of hot light at a speed that was almost connected end to end.

In this case, even the strong wind caused by the release of magic power cannot play a protective role. The more solid beam can easily cut into pieces and tear apart the defense brought by these magic powers.

All she could rely on was the holy sword in her hand.

But fortunately, compared to having to take into account the situation to command the army on a chaotic battlefield, this kind of situation where you only need to rely on the sword in your hand is more conducive to the use of intuition.

Since you can't keep up with the attacks around you with your own consciousness, you might as well let your intuition control your body.

Thinking like this, the shining light exploded from Saber's hand.

She rushed into the sea of ​​fire that could not be sensed, running wildly, letting her body continue to wave the holy sword in her hand according to instinct, using cold sword marks to add to the monotonous red color, flashing stars again and again, every time A flash of starlight was accompanied by the disappearance of the arrow of fire. Although the attacks from the red waterfall were still endless, Saber still set foot on the peak of red fire.

Looking at the awe-inspiring figure rushing to the end of the flames, Archer's mouth curved in admiration.

The Holy Sword of the Stars is the ultimate weapon, but judging from the current performance, although there are still some shortcomings, the performance of the King of Knights has not yet insulted it.

"I'm very lucky that I have an opponent like you in the first battle...but the real firepower will come next. Don't die, Saber."

There was a bit of joy in Archer's eyes, and then he opened his bow like a full moon.

Since the weak Saber did not change his strategy, as the strong one, he should not have any escape.

Different from the previous magic release used to increase the output frequency, something more oppressive, a crisp sound like something breaking, replaced the roar of the divine bow.

The beam of light cast by the flame continued to condense and expand in his hands, and seemed to be alive. Between light and dark, it flickered with the divine light that drove away the night.

Saber, who was about to rush to the end of the calming red wave, frowned slightly. She could feel that the pressure from her intuition was expanding as the arrow condensed. The closer the distance, the smaller the range, and the magic power was released. The greater the power it can exert.

It was just like when she rushed in front of Archer and was knocked away, even the armor was shattered.

Saber knows that she cannot do Archer's precise control, but this does not prevent her from understanding that the power of this attack will never be inferior to the anti-military-level Noble Phantasm. If she resists this attack, she will probably be out of the game in an instant. Time.

If it had been the last time she was summoned, Saber would have had only two choices, either to run away with all her strength, avoid the center, and resist the aftermath of the attack with all her strength, or to also release the holy sword in her hand and use her Noble Phantasm to fight against it.

But no matter which choice she made, it would mean that her previous efforts to shorten the distance would be in vain, and she would return to Archer shooting arrows, and she would be beaten until she exhausted her Master to death.

Fortunately, this time she also has a trump card.

Thinking like this, Saber's actions changed.

"boom--!"

In an instant, the flames flashed away like thunder, winding in the air, like a wandering evil dragon rushing out from Archer's bow, roaring and opening its big mouth, letting out the atmosphere, light, and a little bit of the holy sword. All the stardust left behind is swallowed up.

The sky even returned to silence at this moment, but Saber knew clearly that this also meant that the arrow of fire was about to pierce her heart, so she took a deep breath and let the magic flow and churn in her body again. It turned into a surging wind, covering his figure, and at the same time, he jumped forward and actively hit the arrow in front of him!

Archer frowned slightly. He didn't think that a hero with such fighting spirit would die just like that, so he raised the divine bow in his hand again and stared at the flames that exploded in the air and roared across.

The gorgeous sun flames scorch the atmosphere and burn all tangible things, using them as nourishment, blooming and blooming.

——However, the figure that rushed out from the center of the Flame Flower was unscathed. Even the armor did not have any unnecessary burn marks and was still a pure pale silver color.

Riding on the strong wind formed by the torrent of magic power, she galloped over again!

Facing Saber's attack, Archer's face showed no fluctuation, only an expected and clear look, but his expression also became slightly more solemn.

Even if he could withstand the previous blow without any injuries, he would have to at least be forced to stop his offensive posture to defend. However, Saber's speed is obviously at a level that can only be achieved by continuing the magic of liberation from before. In other words, During the defense just now, was Saber also speeding up?

But such a situation cannot be explained by any defensive Noble Phantasm, unless she has just been in another dimension and can take into account both defense and offense at the same time.

"Archer! I'm here to attack you!"

She waved the shining holy sword in her hand with ease. At this moment when she was about to succeed, Saber's tone inevitably became passionate. The huge magic power wrapped around her body had clearly revealed the murderous intention in her heart.

Then, in the deep sky that was soaked in light, thunder suddenly sounded.

Saber's whole body turned into a brilliant bolt of lightning, which shot towards Archer like a cannonball. The strong wind behind her that had become a substance also disintegrated at this moment, as if it had been exploded by explosives. It was shattered, shrill and detailed. The scars began to spread in the void, and the white shock wave also spread, driving away all the remaining fire in the air.

But in this case, even Archer only had time to block it hastily.

The gushing magic power wrapped around the bow, turned into blazing red flames, and ignited the bowstring, allowing the dazzling arrow of fire to form again, piercing the void and pointing directly at Saber's head with a terrifying roar.

Looking at the oncoming arrows, Saber clenched the holy sword in her hand, turned slightly sideways, and let the holy sword that was ready behind her cut straight through the eye-catching red. The process was so fast that Archer even It also gave the illusion that Saber was like a straight sword.

Everything is going smooth!

Saber thought to herself and took a breath.

Archer should still be able to deliver one blow, but that's about it.

At this close range, if his magic power cannot reach its peak before it reaches its peak, it will be touched by his own sword. In the final analysis, close combat with Saber, who has the best head-on and all attributes, is not the most suitable tactic for Archer.

As one of the three knights, Archer has excellent clairvoyance and long-distance advantages. As long as he controls the distance, even Saber can only suffer from hatred.

Not to mention that Archer's burst of firepower is so terrifying. The distance that can usually be covered in just a blink of an eye, but the time it takes to block the opponent's burst is simply a long time.

If you are fighting with others and are positioned at the sniper point by an archer, there is a possibility of being killed instantly without warning. Even if you are lucky enough to escape the blow, if you are unable to get close to the enemy, He could only huddle in the trump card and wait for the Master to use the command spell to rescue him, but there was no other way.

But from another perspective, the archer at close range is also very fragile. When the enemy is close, even the hero in front of him, who Saber is convinced by, cannot shoot continuously like before.

As for the ordinary arrows and hasty magic released, as long as he can survive them, Archer will be unable to do anything.

Sure enough, as Saber expected, with the holy sword and Archer so close together, the burning ring of fire spread again. At this moment, Archer was like the sun hanging high in the sky.

The scorching heat seemed to have taken on a form, already passing through Saber's armor and pricking her skin, but... it was still within the tolerance range!

Saber's rock-like figure did not retreat at all. She shuttled through the dancing flames and knocked away all obstacles in front of her. Her magic resistance was the best A level. At this level, there was no way to stop her from wielding this sword. !

"I won, archer!"

Saber swung down the holy sword in her hand vigorously. When she unleashed her power without any reservation, even the air was torn into turbulent turbulence. But even so, Archer's face still showed no trace of anything. Panicked, he just watched calmly as the holy sword standing at the top collided with his golden armor given by the Sun God.

"clang--!"

The sonorous sound of metal colliding went straight into the sky.

Saber's face froze for an instant, and the huge force of shock coming from her hand made her the one who was shaken away.

It was obvious that she had used all her strength in this attack, and there was also the bonus of the magic released, but it was actually her who was knocked away?

That seemingly fragile golden armor actually has such power?

"That's why I said, you will undoubtedly die here tonight, Saber," Archer looked at all this with a matter-of-fact expression, "There is a gap in strength between us, and when the gap between Masters is even greater, , this gap is so big that you cannot make up for it no matter what, no matter what the situation is, there is no possibility that you can defeat me."

As a top-level heroic spirit, one of the famous three golden targets, it is enough to show how high Karna's upper limit is.

In his epic, when his opponent is already a great hero favored by the gods and given by heaven, but he is just a weakling with countless curses on his back, the King of the Gods who is watching the battle He still felt from the bottom of his heart that he would win, and had to go out personally to distract the great hero.

But even so, his enemies still have to rely on the moment when his curse comes true and sneak attacks when they are not prepared to win. This shows how deeply rooted Karna's power is in people's hearts.

At this moment, the golden armor on his body was the powerful defensive Noble Phantasm that even worried the King of Gods - the Sun Disk, turned into armor.

Under the protection of this armor, any interference will be weakened by 90%.

This kind of confidence allows Karna to withstand a blow from an A+-level anti-army weapon, and his actions will not be affected. What's more, the golden armor has extremely strong immortality. As long as it is still on Karna's body, even if it is Fatal injuries such as spiritual core fragmentation will also be repaired.

Under normal circumstances, in order to prevent the master's magic power from being consumed too much, Karna would only turn it on when he is attacked, but now his master is the princess from the source, providing him with a steady stream of magic power, so Today's Golden Armor is always fully powered and does not need to be turned off at all.

In this full-on mode with a full supply of magic power, the ability to reduce damage and recover is even further improved, making the golden armor enough to ignore any damage. With the healing function, if Karna is willing, even He can resist the liberation of the city-level Noble Phantasm, because the damage caused to him by the enemy's attack cannot keep up with his recovery speed.

Only a few percent of Saber's attacks can actually fall on Archer. At this level, it is impossible to break through the golden armor with amazing defensive properties, let alone harm Karna's body.

After testing Saber's level, Karna realized that even if he stood still and was beaten while using his Noble Phantasm, it would be very difficult for Saber to kill him.

Regardless of whether it is a duel of Noble Phantasms or a competition of skills, I will only be better than Saber, and I will wear out Saber to death.

This fundamental gap will never be bridged unless Saber's master is replaced by a monster.

Even so, Archer did not underestimate Saber.

"You can't release your scabbard immediately when you are knocked back by your own full strength. King of Knights, you are an excellent warrior, but you are still lacking in implementing your beliefs."

There was no trace of pity in Archer's eyes, only a touch of regret.

Although being too famous can bring a bonus to popularity, in the Holy Grail War, the leakage of intelligence often means that death is approaching.

The legend of Avalon is too dazzling. When he saw Saber rushing out of his own flames unscathed, Archer understood Saber's trump card and followed the trend, setting up this trap and taking advantage of the opponent's chance of victory. Carelessness, thus defeating the enemy with one blow.

"Goodbye, it was a pleasant duel, Saber."

When Saber was shaken away, he put his hand on the bowstring again.

And at this moment, an icy light flashed on the distant scenery reflected by the glorious divine bow.

In the brilliance reflected by the dots of flames, there was a scarlet that made his spine shiver, which was getting closer.

Because of his extremely powerful clairvoyance, Karna instantly saw through the true face of the scarlet shadow, which was a spear.

A scarlet magic gun pointed directly at his heart!

——

Tohsaka Rin rolled around on the ground in an unladylike manner, panting as she looked at the prison in front of her which was made up of several layers of gemstone barriers. She no longer had time to worry about linking the familiar and continued to observe the situation on Saber's side. .

Because she is facing a greater crisis now.

Among modern magicians, she is already very powerful. Even when practicing actual combat with Medea, she can get a good comment from the opponent. Even if the opponent is a heroic spirit, she is qualified to die after a few moves.

But the enemy in front of her was completely beyond her imagination.

"Bang——!"

Fine cracks began to spread rapidly on the smooth gem barrier, and then, in Tohsaka Rin's disbelieving eyes, it exploded!

"What kind of monster is this? Is it really not a heroic spirit, but a magician like me?... There should be only a handful of existences like that man in this world."

Rin Tosaka murmured, glancing at his left hand hanging sideways with his peripheral vision, and hissed in pain.

I just paid the price of a broken left hand for the opportunity to use gems to complete this trap. Unexpectedly, it was cracked in an instant. Now, I am really in trouble.

She gritted her teeth, raised her other hand, and made a shooting gesture. The magic bullet formed in an instant, shot out, and penetrated the smoke and dust that spread out along with the broken barrier.

However, the magic bullet that could easily tear a human body into pieces stopped strangely in mid-air.

Or, rather, got caught.

The magic bullet, which should have been extremely dangerous and would explode if touched easily, was caught in the palm of a hand wearing black leather gloves.

On that glove were engraved the runes that Tohsaka Rin was quite familiar with, but the style was slightly different.

But isn’t Rune a declining magic? Even if the foundation has just been restored in the past few years, the power of formal application should not be so strong, right?

"You are also the Master of the Holy Grail War, right? Before the familiar's link was disconnected, I saw a new heroic spirit joining the battlefield. That should be your servant, right?"

Tohsaka Rin looked at the red-haired figure walking out of the smoke with vigilance and asked loudly.

"That's right."

The magician in a red suit held the magic bullet in his hand and suddenly exerted force to crush it directly. However, as the runes on the gloves flashed, the broken magic bullet did not explode directly, but dissipated. .

Bazett raised his head and looked at Tohsaka Rin.

"I am the agent commissioned by the Magic Association to investigate the Holy Grail War. Bazett, as you said, my servants have already rushed to the battlefield between Saber and Archer."

"Then why did you attack me! You have also seen Archer's power. The opponent has this level of destructive power before he has released the Noble Phantasm. It is not at a level that can be fought with just one ride!"

"I saw it," Bazett nodded calmly, "Although the people in the Clock Tower also said that I have the strength to fight against the servants, to be honest, even if I have grown up now, I definitely don't want to fight against those servants. If you confront this kind of guy, you will definitely die."

"Then you still..."

"But I believe in Lancer."

Bazett looked at the anxious Tohsaka Rin and said decisively.

"She will not lose. Ever since I accepted her teachings, I have understood this deeply." Bazett glanced at the rune carvings on his gloves, "But unfortunately, I didn't I can directly participate in this battle and repay her qualifications, so I can only do what I can."

Bazett turned his sharp gaze to Tohsaka Rin.

"Lancer said that all participants in this war are enemies, so I just need to eliminate them. Moreover, if Saber withdraws from the scene, it will also reduce a lot of hidden dangers. You are an excellent Master. Let you If this pair continues to stay, unnecessary accidents may occur later.”

"You guy..."

Tohsaka Rin frowned and his face became ugly.

How could anyone plan to fight through the Holy Grail War with only a pair of combinations, without considering more effective strategies such as alliances and schemes, and just fighting? Where did this guy come from as a berserker?

But even though she was extremely unwilling to give in, Tohsaka Rin had to admit that this type of opponent was the one she was least good at dealing with. The opponent was better than her in both physical skills and magic.

Is it possible that we can only exchange command spells and fight to the death?

Tohsaka Rin stared at Bazett, raised his finger again, and let the magic power begin to condense, and Bazett also became serious and made a hand gesture.

Just when the two were confronting each other, the battle was about to break out.

The sound of crisp footsteps interrupted their thoughts.

Bazett and Tohsaka Rin looked at each other and stopped in unison.

Because it was a sudden battle, they naturally didn't have time to set up any kind of barrier to repel people. They picked a secluded place and started fighting. In front of passers-by, the two of them, who were originally decent, didn't even think of doing anything with it.

However, is there anyone passing by the end of this commercial street so late at night?

Rin Tosaka breathed a sigh of relief and adjusted her gaze. Soon, she saw the true face of the passerby.

It was a black-haired young man with an upright appearance and a curious smile on his face. He seemed to be attracted by the previous movement and brilliance.

When Tohsaka Rin met the ruby-like pupils of the black-haired young man, she felt a sense of suffocation after a disaster that made her heartbeat beat uncontrollably.

The young man passing by also saw her, smiled and raised his hand.

"Long time no see, Rin, you really came to participate in the Holy Grail War."

Roland looked around at the scene around him and raised his eyebrows.

"So, are you off the hook again?"
