Shinji Matou's Holy Grail War(4/7)
Can you afford to fight six masters one after another to the death? Gem magic is expensive."
[Don't be tempted to stand on the battlefield of the Holy Grail War. There is only one thing I have to do - to win the final victory]
To be honest, the environment here is not suitable for fighting. It is now ten o'clock in the morning. Although it is the weekend, there are still some students in the school participating in club activities. For example, the sports club is preparing for the sports meeting next spring.
.At this time, fighting on the school rooftop can easily affect innocent people.
Although she has used exorcism magic around her to ensure that ordinary people will not come close to this place, if the two heroic spirits fight, they will definitely fly everywhere in the sky and on the ground. They may be on the rooftop one second and be there the next.
On the playground...
[Damn it, which bastard is completely disregarding the lives of others? Let me find him and beat him up]
At this moment, the two heroic spirits who had been confronting each other finally took action.
The black and white swords and the bright red spear drew a trail in the air, but rarely touched each other. The two heroes from myths or legends tried their best to avoid the enemy's attack, while mercilessly pointing their weapons towards the enemy.
After the critical greeting, in just a few seconds, the figure changed several times.
Tohsaka Rin used magic to strengthen her dynamic vision and could barely keep up with the rhythm of the battle, but all she could do was "see".
If the body were strengthened to that point, and if the limbs were allowed to move at that speed and frequency, it would collapse in a second or two, right?
After all, those are two fighting heroes.
Most human magicians have weak physiques. Although she is one of the few with outstanding physiques, she is still far behind the heroes who have experienced hundreds of battles.
[Perhaps...if I have a chance, I can try to compete with Caster in close combat. If both of us are magicians, I still have a slight chance of winning.]
The blue and red heroic spirits were fighting fiercely. The speed and strength of both sides were beyond human imagination, and their martial arts skills were enough to make anyone who calls himself a "sword master" or "master" ashamed to the point that he would not dare to use martial arts for the rest of his life. But right?
Because both of them were equally good, the battle fell into the street.
Gradually, the two swords and the spear began to come into contact.
At first it was occasional, then intermittently.
Tohsaka Rin is not an outsider who does not understand martial arts. In fact, she has great experience in Bajiquan and can be regarded as a small martial arts expert. Therefore, she knows very well that the reason why the weapons of both parties started to come into contact is because each other
Unable to maintain the high level of concentration at the beginning of the battle, I had to slightly reduce my focus on "dodge".
Although the intersection of weapons will affect the accuracy of the moves, it is inevitable between opponents of equal strength.
[Do you need to give Archer some help? Use acceleration magic? Or attack the opponent directly? He won't be angry because this goes against the spirit of chivalry, right? 】
It's not that Tohsaka Rin doesn't want to provide assistance to Archer, but the battle is so fierce and the positions of both sides are constantly changing. She can't guarantee that her magic can accurately hit the target, making it difficult for both attack and assistance.
What's more... if the opponent is a Lancer who is one of the "Three Knights"... then he should have the class special skill "Anti-Magic". Even if it is only a C-level anti-magic, it is enough to make all fast magic useless.
.
[If you use the Command Seals... But in just the first battle, do you have to consume only three precious Command Seals? 】
Using the command spell can indeed strengthen Archer's ability in a short period of time, giving him an advantage when he is currently on a par with Lancer, but can this really guarantee the destruction of the opponent?
After much consideration, she gave up on using the command spell.
Since Archer doesn't seem to lose, it's better to maintain this battle situation for now. If he fails to kill the enemy, but instead forces the opponent's heroic spirit to wreak havoc, that would be terrible.
Until this moment, she was still thinking about how to reduce the damage.
"Bang" followed by a violent metal collision, the red and blue figures who were fighting fiercely suddenly separated. Archer retreated in front of his master, carefully guarding against possible sneak attacks by the other party.
"When that girl summoned you just now, did she say 'archer'?" the blue heroic spirit said dissatisfied, "How could there be such an 'archer' in the world? This makes me, a serious 'gun,'
Knight's feelings are so embarrassing"
[Actually, I have always been curious about this. For a shooter, Archer's melee combat ability is a bit too strong...]
"But it doesn't matter, we have to say goodbye anyway." Lancer raised the bright red spear and made a thrusting motion, "I'll take your heart."
Hearing these words, Archer, who had experienced many battles, immediately knew that something was wrong. He crossed his swords to protect his chest, and he got as close to Rin as possible, using his body as a shield.
[Are you using the Shield of Ajax? If it is really that treasure, any shield will be useless]
"The spear that pierced the death thorns"
Before he finished speaking, a coquettish red light flew straight to his left chest.
[Projection of King Liao of Wu's Breastplate]
A green bronze mirror appeared on his chest, blocking the blow by just a hair.
【wrong】
There was no impact as expected, but this made him make even worse guesses.
Ignoring the fact that he was fighting, he quickly turned around and saw his Master covering his left chest in surprise.
The girl's slender palm couldn't cover it at all, and bright red liquid was gushing out from the miserable wound. He even felt that his face and body were being poured all over by the warm liquid.
[It’s so ridiculous—I—actually—revived the Tohsaka family in the first battle—is everything over? 】
Full of surprise and unwillingness, Tohsaka Rin's consciousness slipped into the black abyss.
——————
"Destiny is so mysterious." Looking at his sister lying quietly on the bed, Shinji couldn't help but sigh, "She was the one who inherited the Tohsaka family's magic seal in the end..."
"Isn't this... dangerous?" Shirou asked worriedly, looking at the magic mark on Sakura's left shoulder that was still flashing red.
Of course there is a risk. After all, Sakura's physique was transformed by Zouken using magic. Although it didn't last long, it eventually changed her natural Tosaka family bloodline, and she became more inclined to the Matou family. This
This makes her less than perfect in adapting to the Tohsaka family's magic seal. For magic, this may mean death.
But even so, Sakura insisted on inheriting the Tohsaka family's magic seal.
"I don't have any sense of belonging to that family." She said, "But reviving the Tosaka family is my sister's lifelong wish. The only thing I can do for her is to help the Tosaka family pass on this magic seal."
In another corner of the room, her sister, who was one year older than her, was lying quietly in an ice coffin, her already cold face still showing the unwillingness and surprise in her last moments of life.
Her body was delivered to the Matou family by Servant Archer. At that time, Shinji and Shirou had just returned from Ryudou Temple and were discussing the next battle strategy.
"She is dead." Archer laid his master flat on the floor and said in a calm tone, "I hope you can help her take care of her funeral for the sake of some friendship."
Sakura fainted on the spot, Shirou was also speechless due to shock, and only Shinji remained calm.
"What about you?" he asked, "What are you going to do if you lose your master?"
"As an archer, I have the ability of 'Operation Du Li', and I can continue to operate for about two days without my master." Archer replied, "Two days are enough for whatever I do."
After saying that, he turned around and left, disappearing in front of everyone.
[I didn’t expect Rin Tosaka to die like this... First Matou Zouken, then Rin Tosaka... Is this a butterfly effect? People who shouldn’t have died died one by one... How will this Holy Grail War end?
?]
Looking at the genius girl's remains, Shen Er felt sad but also vaguely happy.
Tohsaka Rin + Heroic Spirit Emiya Shirou, this combination is really very powerful, and she has a good relationship with herself, Sakura, and Shirou. If she wants to fall out and take action, it will be somewhat psychologically burdensome. There is no need to dirty her hands, others
He solved her for himself, which is really good news.
[It’s just... Sakura will be very sad, the relationship between the two sisters has always been good...]
In this world, because the head of the Matou family, Zōen, has always been obsessed with magic research, Shinji is the de facto manager of the family. In order to strengthen the relationship with the Tohsaka family, he took Sakura back to visit Rin a long time ago.
It also allowed the two sisters to maintain a relatively good relationship - he himself didn't know whether he was just a simple villain who occasionally showed good intentions? Or was it a preparation for the Holy Grail War?
But anyway, it's all over.
... Facts have proved that his conclusion was too premature.
After Sakura woke up, she made a request to "inherit the Tohsaka family's magic seal".
This practice is actually common. Magician families rely on engravings for inheritance. When the head of the previous generation dies, the engravings that contain most of the magic essence are passed on to the next generation. This way, from generation to generation
Pass it on from generation to generation, and strive to climb to a higher peak on the road of magic.
"But... forget it, you won't listen to anything I say..." Shenji didn't try to stop him, he just sighed and helped her perform the magic ceremony.
[In this case, will my descendants and Sakura's descendants once again become enemies as "Matō" and "Tohsaka" of the Gosan family, and eventually come to the stage of the Holy Grail War, fighting to the death? 】
Thinking about this question, Shen Er felt a vague astringency in his mouth.
For the first time in his life, he felt in awe of the impermanence of "fate".
——————
Emiya Shirou stood on the roof of a building in Fuyuki Town, facing the cold north wind in winter, but felt an unknown anger burning in his heart.
He responded to the call as a heroic spirit and came to this era. He originally planned to kill himself in this time period in the hope of preventing his fate.
But...everything deviated from expectations
Why? Why did Rin die?
This was not part of my plan at all.
That blue heroic spirit... that blue heroic spirit... who is that guy? Why can't I remember him?
Is it hateful because this guy is insignificant? Or is it because the long years have worn away my memory of my past life?
...I remembered that his name was Cu Chulainn, a heroic spirit in Irish mythology and legend. His magic spear, the Angler, could definitely hit the enemy's heart.
To be continued...
