I don't like the gods, I want to be a hero

"Saber! Withdraw!"

There was no need to remind at all, Saber, who had been told by intuition that there was a danger approaching, quickly moved away from the center of the battle without any greed, and also picked up Miss Tohsaka who was panting for breath with too much force.

Not long after Saber withdrew, one after another modified swords exuding surging magic power pierced Serius' body densely like raindrops.

But these modified arrows containing powerful magic power were not the whole of the attack. A spiral-shaped long sword carrying terrifying coercion slammed at the restrained Serius at a speed that almost broke through the space limit.

"Pseudo Spiral Sword, and—Fantasy Collapse..."

Chapter 33 Mutations

"What's going on?! Why are there so many Noble Phantasms that can break through my defense?" Feeling the fluctuation of magic power contained in each arrow, Seleus opened his mouth in surprise.

When Seleus was distracted thinking about how to save Saber's life during the battle, the female knight who was instantly restored to full strength by the command spell took this opportunity to directly pull into the distance, and started wrestling with Seleus, thus restraining Seleus action.

At this time, Miss Tohsaka, who was suffering from not being able to capture the figure of Serius, and whose speed and power of throwing gems could not keep up with Serius' movements, directly seized the opportunity and used the most expensive gem in her hand as a medium to form a A powerful gravitational cage, and successfully trapped Seleus.

Given this opportunity, Archer, who had already been ready to go, shot all the arrows he had prepared without hesitation, and tied Seleus, who was about to break through the cage of gravity, into a hedgehog.

"I always thought that Jill was the only one among the Heroic Spirits who could luxuriously use all kinds of high-level treasures as consumables. I didn't expect to meet another one so soon."

Serleus, who had recovered from the shock, was not worried about his situation, but instead thought about the scene when Gilgamesh encountered this Archer in his mind.

However, this is a normal reaction for the undead hero. After all, after encountering a novel and not particularly dangerous incident, isn't the first reaction of most people is to use this incident to have fun?

These attacks that didn't even trigger the 'foresight' obviously didn't pose much threat to Serius, so his attention was naturally focused on details other than the attack.

"According to Jill's proud personality, the expression on his face when he finds out that someone relies on throwing Noble Phantasms to attack like himself...but it's a pity."

Seleus was not regretful that he killed Gilgamesh, he would never regret killing his best friend for the sake of those lives who were drained of all their magic power.

He simply regretted that Archer's chance to be so close to Gilgamesh was destroyed by himself, and the next time the two were summoned at the same time, he didn't know how long he would have to wait.

Because the number of heroic spirits is very rare compared to the entire human society, but considering the occasions and places where Servants can be summoned, the chance of accurately summoning two specific servants in one place is too slim.

After all, reality is not a game, and the ceremony of summoning Servants is not a low-quality magic that can be performed with a little money.Besides, even if you really have the opportunity to summon a Servant, how can you guarantee that the Servant you summon is the one you want to summon?

Unless Servants can be continuously summoned in one place, and the summoned Servants can be provided with enough magic power to maintain their existence, then it is guaranteed that the two will meet.

And the Great Holy Grail system established by sacrificing the Winter Maiden who can reproduce the third method can only meet the conditions for summoning seven Servants at the same time, and how can a place that can continuously summon Servants exist in this world? where?

However, Seleus at this time would never have imagined that the place where Servants could be summoned at the same time and maintain the existence of Servants would be successfully established in the near future, and he also secretly delighted more than once after responding to the call that the main body can adapt to multiple jobs characteristics, and more than once thanked himself for pretending to be crazy foresight in this Holy Grail War.

Of course, those are things for later.

"Huh?" A powerful wave of magic power awakened Serius, who was thinking divergently, and the hedgehog-like hero who was impaled immediately looked in the direction of Archer.

A wave of magic power far surpassed the spiral arrows of the swords pierced on him, and it was blasting towards him at a very high speed.

"Is that...A rank anti-army Noble Phantasm?" Serius made an instant judgment.

Such a vast power cannot be a treasure for individual units, and judging from the level of magic power, the power of this arrow has already broken through the defense of Serius' treasure.

"A powerful and large-scale attack, but also beware of the possible collapse of illusion." Thinking of this, Seleus quickly turned his gaze to Illya's direction.

What reassured Seleus was that because he had great trust in his Berserker, Illya did not follow the battlefield with the idea of ​​supporting the Servant like Miss Tohsaka and Emiya Boy, but stayed in the The edge of the battlefield, and the dead end of Archer's line of sight.

"Fortunately, Illya is not within the range of the attack. Even if Archer uses Phantasm Honkai to detonate that A-level treasure, the aftermath of the explosion will definitely not be able to threaten Illya who has the 'Aegis' defense. "

Before the goddess Athena gave 'Aegis' to Serius as a reward, she always wore this aegis as armor. Affected by this feature, 'Aegis' has all the features that ordinary shields do not have. Azimuth protection capability.

"Don't worry about Illya's safety. Next, I will face this A-level anti-army treasure." With a sigh of relief, Seleus refocused on the spiral arrows bombarding him.

"Speaking of which, the opponent has Saber who takes the initiative to contain me, Archer who is in charge of fire coverage from a distance, and Miss Tohsaka who is in charge of assisting, and Emiya boy who uses command spells to heal and strengthen Saber is barely a back-up. field role..."

"Illya's speech just now can be regarded as voluntary disclosure of information, and I myself have been releasing water in the battle, and even thought of letting them go to achieve my own goals..."

The attack that couldn't even be triggered by 'Foresight' made Serius too lazy to dodge, and he even had time to think about trivia that had nothing to do with combat.

"Based on this, my current role is that of a final big boss who has difficulties."

"boom!"

The spiral arrows bombarded Serius accurately, and the power comparable to tactical missiles exploded in an instant. The huge burst of magic power produced extremely high temperatures, and everything within the explosion range was under this high temperature. into the tiniest speck of dust.

But Archer's attack didn't end there. A guy who can extravagantly transform a large number of treasures into strange-looking arrows and shoot them will never feel sorry for the consumption of those treasures.

After confirming that the arrows had successfully hit Seleus, Archer at the commanding heights detonated all the arrows inserted into Seleus as expected.

"--boom!!!"

The detonated treasure made a heaven-shaking sound, and the earth also began to vibrate under this terrifying power. Cracks and cracks spread in all directions like spider webs, and then exploded under the washing of the huge torrent of magic power.

The center of the collapsed illusion radiated a dazzling light that surpassed the sun, and for a moment it turned the star-studded night sky into a vast expanse of whiteness...

"Great! The battle was a great success! With this kind of power, even the great hero who claims to be the strongest human being can only die."

With Saber's help to resist, Rin Tohsaka, who was not affected by the blast, waved his fist involuntarily. In Miss Tohsaka's knowledge, the only one who can surpass Archer's blow just now is the one who shocked the world' Fats' vs. 'Boys'.

And under the mysterious blessing, the damage caused by Fancy Honkai to Servant is definitely higher than those two heavyweight players.

"If it... hurts, I mean, if even that kind of attack can't defeat Berserker, hiss, then this Berserker's ability can really be called invincible."

Without any protection, he was directly blown away by the wind pressure generated by the explosion, and rolled on the ground for a long time before stabilizing his body, Wei Gong boy supported his upper body with his arms with some difficulty. The corners of his mouth twitched and let out a painful cry as he saw the scratches on his body.

"So, it is impossible to summon such a Servant who is sure to win in the Holy Grail War, otherwise all the tactics, the compatibility and tacit understanding between the Master and Servant, and the preparations made before the Holy Grail War would be meaningless ?"

Hearing the words of Emiya boy boasting about Archer's power in disguise, Rin Tohsaka, who was in a good mood, stepped forward and pulled him up, and at the same time couldn't help showing off to Shirou Emiya.

The final blow to Berserker was the nameless Archer that she summoned by virtue of her phase nature, and she was able to summon a great hero like Serius. The insanely rich Einzbern must have spent a lot of money to collect enough to eliminate any risk, [-]% A sacred relic designated as a great hero.

Miss Tohsaka can't help but be upset about the situation where she won the designated summon with the compatibility call.

After all, although she is the head of the Tohsaka family, since her father, the previous head of the Tohsaka family, Tohsaka Tokiomi, died mysteriously during the Holy Grail War, and her mother, Aoi Tohsaka, became insane, the property of the Tohsaka family has declined a little bit. The Tohsaka clan also gradually began to decline.

Under normal circumstances, Rin Tohsaka, who has magical powers, can still maintain the dignity of the Tohsaka clan, but Rin Tosaka, who has inherited gem magic from his family, needs to purchase a large number of high-quality gems for daily magic practice. This makes the dignified lady need to work part-time from time to time to earn living expenses.

Therefore, Ms. Tohsaka has an innate hostility towards Einzbern, who is also a member of the imperial family, but rich and powerful, who can spend a lot of money to purchase powerful holy relics, and also "a little bit" envy.

And the fact that my own Archer terminated Einzbern's Berserker undoubtedly vented the hostility and imbalance in Miss Tohsaka's heart, and at the same time, it was proved that I used phase summoning better than designated summoning. Take pride in your own excellence.

Although in the battle with Berserker, Saber, who had been confronting Serius head-on, and Emiya Boy's command spell were the ones who contributed the most, but Miss Tohsaka, who was immersed in Archer's final blow, naturally ignored this. a little.

"I really admire you, Rin." Although Ilya saw that Serius was under a super-powerful attack, Ilia, who understood the true strength of Serius, did not show the slightest worry, and even walked towards the enemy slowly. Next to her, the proud Ms. Tohsaka boasted with admiration.

"Your Archer is quite capable."

"Of course, Saber is also very good, being able to last so long in Berserker's hands."

After boasting about Rin Tohsaka, Illya turned her head to Saber's side, who was still holding the sword, and her face was also cloudy, and teased in a way that was said to be surprised, but more like teasing.

"Seeing that my Berserker was defeated, I walked over to give compliments to the opponent, why? The Master of Einzbern is like this..." Miss Tohsaka puffed out her chest and thought I want to return to the current Illya the scare she received at Serius.

But before she finished speaking, Ilya, who put on her elegant smile again, interrupted her without any politeness. "Do you really think that you can defeat my strongest Berserker just with Archer's barely eye-catching arrows?"

"What do you mean?" Miss Tohsaka, who realized something from Illya's attitude at this time, asked in disbelief, while Saber, who heard Illya's remarks, suddenly became serious and disappeared. The sword was placed in front of him again, looking at Berserker's direction with extreme vigilance.

"Rin! It's hard to say, but my attack just now didn't do much damage to Berserker. That guy is still unharmed..."

Although some facts were detected from Illya's remarks and Saber's vigilant attitude, Tohsaka Rin still held the idea that Archer's strong attack should at least cause Berserker to be seriously injured.

But the notification from her own Servant completely shattered all the illusions of this young lady.

"I didn't expect Archer's Noble Phantasm to contain so many characteristics. This time it seems to be a bit overturned."

As if to prove what they said just now, Seleus' embarrassed voice suddenly came from the center of the explosion.

I saw this great hero slowly emerging from the smoke. There were numerous wounds on his tall and burly body, and the oozing blood almost stained his entire body red.

But even though Seleus's image was so embarrassing, everyone present would not think that he was seriously injured by the attack just now.

Because those wounds were too small and too shallow for Serius' tall body, and during the process of walking around, those wounds were still repairing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"How could such a thing happen! Didn't summoning this Berserker in the Holy Grail War directly locked the final victory?" Rin Tohsaka, whose hope was shattered, grabbed his twin ponytails angrily, and at the same time vented his unwillingness powerlessly. Emotions.

"Okay, Berserker, hurry up and settle Saber and Archer, don't continue to play around." Illya first glanced at Saber in front of her with complicated eyes, and then gently gave an order to Serius.

"Not yet, Illya." After receiving the order, Seleus did not respond to Illya immediately, but quickly stretched the battle ax behind him, and at the same time bent his body into the shape of a big bow. "Before solving Saber and the others, there is another very important thing that needs to be resolved."

As he said that, under the terrified or confused eyes of everyone except Illya, he threw the battle ax like a shooting star with great force, but the target the battle ax aimed at was still very indifferent. Elijah...

Chapter 34 Strange Assassins and Allies

"Pfft!"

The galloping battle ax brushed against Illya's body, and did not cause the slightest damage to the girl who was protected by Aegis independently, but in the seemingly empty shadow behind the girl, there was a strange sound of her body being cut apart. sound.

"What's going on?! Why did Berserker suddenly attack Illya? Aren't they companions?" Emiya Shirou, who was still lying on the ground, could only see the scene of Serius throwing a battle ax at Illya, worried that the girl would As a result, he lost his life and hurriedly wanted to get up.

"Idiot! Don't make a sound now." Tohsaka Rin on the side lowered his head and scolded, and then stared nervously at the weird shadow behind Illya.

"How...how did you find me?" Accompanied by a rather creepy voice from the shadows, a horrible skull mask was sewn on his face, he was wearing a black cloak, and a terrifying arm was tightly wrapped with bandages The thin and thin figure suddenly appeared from no one's place.

"Tick-tick-tick-"

Bright red blood slowly dripped down the ground along the tattered cloak.

This guy hiding in the dark with evil intentions has an agility of up to A+, and he decisively dodges because of what Serius said before throwing the tomahawk, and successfully avoids the frontal attack of the tomahawk.

However, Seleus, who was worried about Illya's safety, subconsciously used all his strength when throwing the battle axe. Therefore, although the guy in the cloak escaped the blade of the battle axe, the strong wind around the battle ax It still caused him serious injuries.

"Hey...hey..." The assassin gasped for breath while covering the wound that almost completely ran through his right shoulder with his left hand, but even though the situation was so dire, the cold eyes like poisonous snakes were still revealing. Through the gap in the mask, he stared fiercely at Serius who wounded him. "How did you find me?"

"It really is Assassin, and judging by the style of the mask, is it one of the leaders of the legendary assassination sect?" Seleus hurried a few steps, and came to Illya's place as soon as Assassin appeared. By his side, and carefully protecting the girl who trusted him with his hands.

"Illya, are you not injured?" Although Seleus saw through Assassin's hiding place before he launched an attack, and successfully wounded him while forcing him to show up, but after judging Assassin After revealing her identity, he still checked Ilya's body with a worried face.

"I'm fine, Berserker has protected me well, so there's no need to worry." Serius' concern and love made Illya narrow her eyes happily.

"I'm sorry, Illya." Although Illya was fine, Seleus still blamed himself very much.

Although he has been releasing water in the battle for the purpose and method of saving Illya, but because of this he neglected to protect Illya, so that Assassin was attracted by this long-term battle, and successfully touched Liya. It is an indisputable fact that Illya is so close.

Serius successfully rescued Illya this time, but what about next time?Would he dare to let this happen again?

Just imagining in his mind how Illya would be seriously injured because of his negligence, Serius felt that some terrifying things from the main body were about to come out of his head and back uncontrollably.

"Although it's an emergency, my sudden attack in your direction should scare you." Seleus put his big hand on Illya's head lightly, as if to comfort the petite girl. girls, but most of them use this to calm their restless emotions.

"No! Illya has always believed that Berserker will protect me forever, so when she saw Berserker's sudden action, she immediately realized that there was danger behind him, so she didn't panic at all."

As if feeling the annoyance and anxiety of the tall giant in front of her, Illya felt the warmth from the top of her head quietly. At this moment, this smart and lovable girl realized her significance to Seleus, and with her own The way to appease Berserker's suddenly irritable heart.

In the center of the battlefield that has just been wantonly destroyed, the bond between the tall giant and the petite girl is so heartwarming.

As a knight, Saber, with her own pride and persistence, naturally would not step forward to disturb the intimate interaction between the two of Seleus at such a critical moment.

After seeing that the girl was safe and sound, Wei Gong boy also heaved a sigh of relief, and he, who has always been a good person, naturally would not do any disgusting behavior unwisely at this time.

Among the people present, Miss Tohsaka, who was relatively utilitarian and the only one with a little bit of magician's exquisite egoism, also kept an astonishing silence at this moment.

On the one hand, it is because her kind heart has been preventing her from taking advantage of this opportunity to do something, and on the other hand, Bingxue, who is smart and has a clear understanding of Serius' combat power, knows very well that making trouble at this time will be dangerous. what serious consequences.

'If I bother that monster-like Berserker now, I'm sure the angry hero will chop him into pieces with that terrible battle axe. Thinking that an extremely violent and bloody scene might actually be staged on him, Tosaka Rin obediently shut his mouth tightly.

As for the terminally ill Archer, who would intermittently lose sight of Illya as long as he was in an attacking posture, he was looking for the enemy who suddenly 'disappeared' for his own reasons.

There are always some ignorant freaks in the world who like to do annoying things and break some beautiful things, and Assassin who appeared in this Holy Grail War is a typical example.

"You, how did you find me?" Assassin asked again, as if because Serius ignored him.

Everyone present was shocked by Assassin's words. As the legendary leader of the assassination sect, Assassin who was dubbed the "Old Man of the Mountain" should not be unaware that any disturbing behavior at this time will anger this terrifying Berserker .

What's more, he himself is the culprit who caused all this.

Although the foundation of one's own survival and the concealment ability that others are proud of are easily seen through by others, it is indeed a big problem worth entangled with, but no matter how entangled, one must see the occasion clearly.

As an Assassin, the superb agility could not evade Berserker's attack, and the most sensible choice was to directly distance himself from Berserker when he was already exposed and seriously injured.

What's more, at this time, Seleus was blaming himself for the sudden appearance of Assassin behind Illya, and he was not in the mood to pay attention to him, the instigator. It can be said that now is the best time to retreat.

But in this case, instead of taking advantage of the opportunity when Serius had no time to answer him, Assassin has been obsessed with a question that is almost impossible to be answered by the enemy and will definitely anger the enemy. This is very unreasonable one thing.

You must know that as an assassin with extremely low frontal combat effectiveness, the servants summoned by the role of Assassin will flee immediately when they are discovered and exposed, and then return to the battlefield after hiding their breath again, and Waiting for an opportunity to carry out assassination work.

Almost all the Assassins who were summoned in the Holy Grail Wars of the past used this routine. The slight difference is because of their own or the master's special instructions, which does not mean that this tactic is useful for Assassins. question.

After understanding this situation, anyone will feel how strange this Assassin's approach is, and it can even be called stupid.If he had made such a decision before he was alive, then the bell of death would surely ring suddenly at the next moment, and he would take his head away before disappearing.

"What's the matter with this Assassin? Doesn't he know how stupid it is to provoke such a powerful Berserker at this time?"

Shocked by Assassin's behavior, and at the same time because of him, Rin Tohsaka, who didn't need to keep quiet, complained about Assassin's reckless behavior without hesitation.

"Is such a guy really the leader of the legendary assassination sect? If so, then how hopeless are the assassins who were at the same time as him to make him the leader."
