A dimensional journey starting from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 1137 Unexpected Rescue

"I don't want anything else from this battle. I don't want to take anything. But now...the sword I hold in my hand is prepared to destroy you."

"Yo yo yo, Joan of Arc..."

Caster was shocked by Saber's majesty and gasped slightly. His expression was neither shaken nor fearful, but rather confused and at a loss.

"You are so noble and righteous... Holy girl. Even the gods feel inferior to you in front of you!"

Caster's voice was extremely joyful, but suddenly fell into silence. Taking this as a signal, the tentacles of the fragile monster were like an avalanche, killing Saber.

"I have defiled my love! I have fallen into the quagmire of love! Holy maiden!"

Swinging swords and wild laughter opened the prelude to this life-and-death struggle.

············

Irisviel held her breath and watched the direction of the battle in the crystal ball.

The ominous thing Saber predicted was already obvious.

Considering the characteristics of the Servant class, Saber has an overwhelming advantage against Caster. When she reached the level of the sword's heroic spirit, her resistance to magic was greatly enhanced. If Caster uses magic as his main weapon and fiercely resists Saber from the front, he has no chance of winning.

But--

Caster is a magician who can summon demons.

Saber's magic resistance only works when someone targets her with magic.\\nThe magic resistance ability only works. But it can't stop Caster from calling monsters from another world. Moreover, once those monsters are summoned, they will materialize, thus possessing a threat different from magic. The teeth and claws of monsters have the same attack power as swords. Saber can only rely on her own sword and body to deal with these monsters.

But despite this...\\nSaber, who has the strongest ability in weapon battles, will not be afraid of any mere monsters from another world. There is no doubt about it. But this was only possible when her body was not damaged.

The battle situation in the forest reflected in the crystal ball is anything but optimistic.

Saber faced the constant attack of monster tentacles without giving in. Still maintaining a rapid attack momentum. When Saber waved the invisible sword in her hand, monsters in the air were split into two pieces. And none of the swarms of tentacles could get closer to the girl who was a Servant.

Saber can completely resist the attacks of monsters, but those monsters attack one after another like waves - this also means that Saber has entered the embarrassment of full defense.\\n

Although Saber could fight off the enemy with her fierce swordsmanship, Caster could only watch her fight from a distance with ease. Saber didn't even take a step closer to Caster, the leader of the monsters.

Monsters with tentacles constantly sprout new tentacles where they were cut off. Moreover, endless monsters continued to emerge from the bloody water that soaked the entire earth. These monsters surrounded Saber layer after layer.

The invisible sword and the monsters that were constantly being summoned entered a state of complete competition with each other. This means that Caster takes control of the battle. The magician was not in a hurry to win, but was just mobilizing the forces needed to deal with Saber step by step, so the battle entered a stalemate.

From a tactical point of view, Caster adopted a protracted war tactic. He did this in order to tire Saber out, use up all her energy, and then defeat Saber in one fell swoop. And Saber has completely jumped into Caster's trap.

If Saber had not been injured, the battle might have been different.\\nDealing with these hordes of rabble was a piece of cake for Saber. But now Saber's left hand is trapped by a spell. Saber's expression can be seen through the crystal ball. She is clearly anxious that she cannot fight as she pleases.\\n

"Is there no sign that another Master has entered the forest yet?"

Kiritsugu’s questioning voice came from behind Irisviel. It was obvious that Kiritsugu didn't take Saber's current predicament to heart. Irisviel was extremely disappointed with Kiritsugu. But Kiritsugu didn't seem to care about his wife's disappointment at all, and just silently prepared his weapon. Kiritsugu put various grenades and small machine guns in the suspenders under his coat one by one. This situation was unbelievable. This was the preparation of the magician who was about to go to the battlefield——But, Irisviel saw The holster on Kiritsugu's waist contained a single-shot magic gun that Kiritsugu only equipped at critical moments. She understood that her husband was ready to fight.

"Maiya takes Alice and escapes from the castle. Flee in the opposite direction to Saber."

After hearing Kiritsugu's order, Maiya nodded without hesitation. Irisviel could not conceal her inner shake.

"Stay here...can't you?"

"Saber is fighting far away from here, which means that this castle is no longer safe, because someone has the same idea as me. So this place is very dangerous.\\n"

Maybe someone really wanted to take advantage of him and attack Saber's Master while Saber left the castle. If you want to kill the Master, the best time is when the Master and Servant take separate actions.

Which one is the easier enemy to defeat, the Master under the protection of the Servant or the Magician holding his position alone?

——If it is Kiritsugu, he will definitely choose the latter. If another magician chooses the same answer as Kiritsugu, that magician will definitely snipe Alice in the castle as soon as he learns that Saber is fighting alone. Phil.

It was not easy to meet Kiritsugu again, but they had to be separated again. This made Irisviel feel very uneasy. Especially when she realized the pain and contradiction hidden in Kiritsugu's heart, she became even more uneasy. But staying by Kiritsugu's side would only make him a burden. Meeting Kiritsugu in the castle was already an exception.

"..."

Irisviel thought calmly in her heart, and finally she realized the source of her uneasiness. Not because of the separation from Kiritsugu, but because he wanted to act together with Maiya. Kiritsugu originally planned to ask Maiya to protect Irisviel, but Irisviel still couldn't shake off his disgust for Maiya.

However, Irisviel would not object to Kiritsugu's combat policy because of her personal feelings.

"--I see."

The moment Irisviel nodded quietly——

"?!"

A new tingle appeared in Irisviel's magic circuit. This is the information fed back by the forest barrier.

"...What happened? Alice."

"Kiritsugu, it's just as you were worried. It seems that a new enemy has entered the forest."

············

After defeating three of them, Saber sensed the enemy's intention.

She didn't know the reason yet, but the overly fragile tentacle monsters and Caster's unnatural level of confidence sounded the alarm in Saber's intuition.

After defeating ten of them. Saber finally confirmed the reason for her uneasiness.

The number of enemies has not decreased. No matter how many you defeat, new enemies will appear. Caster's summoning magic continuously called reinforcements from other worlds.

Even that doesn't matter. Saber secretly made up her mind. No matter how much the number of enemies swells, it only needs to be defeated with double the momentum. Driven by her boiling fighting spirit, Saber's sword suddenly sped up.

Thirty. Because the number of enemies had not decreased at all, Saber began to feel anxious.

Fifty. Saber understood that counting would be futile. It was not just the blood and flesh of the children who became hostages that became the seedbed for the emergence of monsters - Saber found in the corner of her field of vision that new monsters were born from the corpses of defeated monsters. That being the case, no wonder there is no reduction. This is like a defeated monster that will regenerate indefinitely.

In this way, it is a competition of magic power reserves. Saber realized that this would be a protracted battle and immediately slowed down the sword's momentum. Swinging the sword with all one's strength is unsustainable. One can only hunt as much as possible with the minimum necessary effort.

Caster's magic power should be limited. If you repeatedly summon and regenerate familiars like this, sooner or later your magic power will be exhausted. The question is whether Saber can support it until then.

Saber was once again troubled by the fact that she couldn't use her left hand. Using only one right hand to swing the sword, he had to "release magic power" to make up for his lack of wrist strength. In this situation, the unnecessary consumption of magic power is a heavier burden than anything else.

Originally, if I could hold the hilt of this sword with both hands - one blow with the "Sword of Oath of Victory" should be able to defeat these filthy wastes without a trace.

Saber gritted her teeth in regret, but continued to swing her sword. Although the number of defeats exceeded three digits, Caster still admired Saber's hard work with a leisurely smile. Saber looked at her opponent in surprise, who showed no sign of haggard. At this time, she noticed again the abnormal density of the magic power emitted from the grimoire in the enemy's hand.

"Could it be..."

It's the worst guess, but it's probably not wrong.

It is the summoning magic that summons countless monsters, regenerates them, and drives them to run tirelessly towards the Saber sword. The one who chanted the curse was the magic book itself.

It was not just a stack of paper with incantations written on it. That book is probably a "monster" that possesses a large-capacity magic furnace and can perform magic with just the power of a single entity. Caster did not read the incantation from the pages of the book, but freely activated the book that was the source of the magic power.

"Luomin City Teaching Book" - worthy of being a terrifying "Noble Phantasm". If Irisviel was Saber's regular Master, she would have seen through Caster's abilities when she first met him, and recognized that he was a very dangerous Servant with the ability to specialize in Noble Phantasms. In that case, Saber will definitely not easily fall into the trap of engaging in a war of attrition with Caster, and maybe she will take more prudent action even if she is laughed at for being timid.

No—regret is a sign of weakness.

Saber shouted to herself. If you are a knight fighting for glory, you will never be allowed to back down in the face of evil like Caster. In that case, she would have given up the greatest power and weapon she possesses - her righteous heart that believes in her own sword.

"It's so nostalgic, Jeanne. Everything is the same as before."

Caster looked like he was looking at a holy painting in a trance.\\nHe watched Saber's battle become more and more miserable.

"Even in a dangerous situation with an outnumbered enemy, you will never be afraid or give in. Your eyes have never doubted victory. You have not changed. There is no doubt that your noble fighting spirit and noble soul are Evidence that she is Joan of Arc. It’s obviously like this..."

Full of nonsense as usual. But Saber suppressed her anger and focused on killing the soldiers in front of her. To refute the opponent sentence by sentence will only play into the enemy's hands.

"Why? Why haven't you woke up yet? Do you still believe in God's protection? Do you think a miracle will come to save you in this desperate situation? - What a sigh! You have forgotten the battle of public love. Have you forgotten the trap of God who pushed you from the pinnacle of glory to the hell of destruction! Even if you have suffered so many insults, are you still willing to be God’s puppet on a string!?”

I really want to shut up that nonsense mouth. I really want him to know what kind of punishment he will receive for taking the life of a child because of his idle delusions - even if he thinks so. The tip of the sword could not touch him at all. Saber was stopped by a wall of ten or twenty monsters pressing up.\\nThe distance from Caster seemed too far.\\n

Saber rushed toward the slight opening, but was caught in the head by the tentacles extending from behind. Although she reflexively stretched out her hand to grab it before being twisted by the tentacle, her left hand with an unruly thumb just slid over the surface of the tentacle in vain.\\n

"Woo..."

As soon as Saber stopped, her vision was completely covered by the wall of tentacles. You can only use "Release Magic" to blow them away. But this quantity...

In an instant, red and yellow thunder and lightning flashed past, repelling the strange group.

In front of Saber, who was loosening her restraints and gasping for air, a tall figure wearing grass-green armor appeared.

"It's so ugly, Saber. If your swordsmanship can't shock people more, the name of the King of Knights will make us cry."

This handsome man, whose beauty could be called sinful...\\n gave the stunned Saber a startling glance. It was precisely because of her ability to resist magic that she could endure this seductive sight. Contrary to the fierceness of the guns, Diarmuid's smile looked extremely sweet and refreshing.

"Lancer, why..."

But Caster was much more surprised than Saber.

"Who!? Whose permission did you get to disturb me!"

"That's exactly what I was going to say. Heretic."

Lancer stared coldly at the angry Caster and pointed the tip of his left hand pistol at him.

"Who made you so presumptuous? Saber's head is a medal destined to hang under my gun. You want to steal the fruits of victory. This is a shameless behavior that is despised on the battlefield."

"Nonsense! Nonsense, nonsense, nonsense~!!"

Caster scratched his scalp, bulged his eyes and made strange noises.

"My prayers! My Holy Grail! They are all to revive that woman! She is mine...even a piece of flesh, a drop of blood, and the soul are all mine!!"

However, Lancer was not overwhelmed by Caster's momentum and shrugged deeply and sighed.

"Listen, I am the one who injured Saber's left hand. I am the only one who has the right to take advantage of the disadvantage of her one hand."

Lancer slowly raised the tips of his left and right guns, assuming his unique dual-gun posture. Standing in front of Saber, it was as if the King of Knights was protecting her behind her.
