There's nothing we can do about it. That female fox is a very petty master.
A single negligence might not cause any trouble, but if he let the other party's servant into the territory of Ryudo Temple, he would surely be severely punished by her - perhaps a few ribs would be broken? Or his hands and feet would be broken by her magic? In short, it would definitely not be a pleasant experience.
Kojiro Sasaki complained in his heart about the witch who summoned him.
However, the long sword pulled out from Emiya Shirou's hand was pointed steadily at Saber who was still on the mountain path, and he showed a full-strength posture.
He would not underestimate Saber, a Western swordsman with amazing power in her petite figure, just because she looked like a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old. From her standing posture, he could tell that this girl was very strong!
And he is different from me who has devoted myself to studying swordsmanship.
If I'm not mistaken, this should be a powerful swordsman who is proficient in the art of battle and has fought on the battlefield.
servant, saber....
This is the only job that is perfectly suited to the Holy Grail War.
"Whatever." Sasaki Kojiro laughed.
He suddenly felt that his luck seemed to be quite good.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to meet good opponents worth fighting while sitting at the mountain gate: "Since your master has left you to me, then let me treat you well, the Western swordsman, Saber whose name is still unknown."
"I'm sorry I can't give you my name."
As he spoke, Saber also took a stance.
The invisible holy sword entangled by the Wind King's barrier also pointed directly at Sasaki Kojiro: "Because the servant's real name is extremely important information in the Holy Grail War, but... I will do my best in this battle as you wish and offer victory to my Master."
Servant to servant, master to master.
Saber had no objection to the tactical arrangements made by Shirou Emiya.
Rather, it was compared to Shirou Emiya's dangerous move of rashly attacking Gilgamesh during the day not long ago.
If possible, Saber would indeed prefer to let Shirou Emiya be active in the Master's battlefield, because only in this way can the strategic value of Shirou Emiya's identity as an 'artificial hero' be truly brought into play.
Thinking of this, I saw that Sasaki Kojiro had no intention of taking the initiative to attack.
In order to prevent him from launching a sneak attack from behind Emiya Shirou, Saber used her inherent skill called Magic Release without hesitation, transforming the huge magic power in her body like the roar of a red dragon into actual propulsion force, and the whole person rushed towards Sasaki Kojiro like a cannonball with a sharp whistle.
Yes, the magic is released!
And it’s a magic release with extremely high output power!!
Compared to the magic power supply of Emiya Kiritsugu during the Fourth Holy Grail War, which could only be described as qualified, the magic power of this powerful Emiya during the Fifth Holy Grail War, both in quantity and quality, was so strong that it could only be described as outrageous.
This is not magic that can be provided by modern magi - no, it is magic that can be provided by humans in the era after the demise of the Age of Gods.
Especially the strange vitality hidden in Shirou Emiya's magic.
Many times, Saber would even have the illusion that the one who signed a contract with her was not a human, but some kind of fantasy species with extremely powerful vitality, or even an elf - and this is the fundamental reason why Saber has always firmly believed that Emiya Shirou is an "artificial hero", and after knowing the truth about the blackening of the Holy Grail, she decisively determined that he is Emiya Kiritsugu's final weapon in the decisive battle against the Holy Grail.
The wind is howling.
It was an invisible holy sword that carried the air and swept up the waves with a violent slash!
The atmosphere is roaring.
The full-power magic power was released like a howling storm, pushing Saber's petite body forward and erupting with a strange power comparable to that of a dragon.
clang! clang! clang! clang! clang! clang!
In an instant, the endless sound of blacksmithing echoed wildly on the mountain road.
The mountain paths were trampled and the forests were torn apart.
It's as if the power from the ancient age of gods has reappeared in modern times.
The petite blue swordsman, at this moment, was like an approaching storm, ravaging everything around her.
Instead, the tall purple-robed swordsman was like a rootless duckweed at this moment.
They can only drift in the storm, either by going with the flow, or by attacking or by retreating to relieve the force, and try their best to continue to survive in this increasingly intensified storm. Their fragile appearance is like a candle in the wind.
There has never been such a wonderful start!!
The more she attacked, the more she swung her sword, the brighter the light in Saber's eyes became.
Shirou's magic is so suitable, so suitable for me!
It was as if she was living in Britain of the past, where every breath could create a huge amount of magic power and squander it wantonly, exploding with strange power. In a trance, Saber even had the illusion that she wanted to cheer for herself loudly.
If it were an ordinary person, perhaps he would be confused by such a situation, right?
They may think that as long as they add a little more strength, speed up a little, or even make a slightly more radical decision, they can easily kill the opponent who is inferior to them in all aspects.
pity--
Saber doesn't see it that way.
Although no matter how she looked at it, the current situation was that she was unilaterally crushing her opponent, but both her rich experience gained from fighting on the battlefield and her innate strong intuition were warning her.
The shaky appearance of Sasaki Kojiro was just a deliberately created illusion.
This purple-robed swordsman's numerical values in all aspects are far lower than his own, and only his agility can keep up with his own, who is using all his magic power. He is waiting for the moment when his impatience and recklessness will make him vulnerable.
This strong intuition made Saber alert.
She was also extremely grateful to Shirou Emiya for the spoiler just now, because it was Shirou Emiya's warning that made Saber's intuition even sharper, and even made her feel as if she had opened the illusion of perspective: "As expected of Shirou, with such accurate judgment before the battle, if he was born in my era, he would surely become an exceptionally outstanding battlefield commander."
Yes, no need to be impatient.
Because it is a battle between masters, there is no way Shirou will lose.
Just advance steadily. As long as you don't take the initiative to give opportunities, no matter how high Sasaki Kojiro's swordsmanship is, he will not be able to break through the absolute strength and speed suppression and create a miracle.
"...What a calm warrior."
Looking at the Saber who was not making any reckless moves and just silently shrinking his range of activities, it seemed as if he wanted to strangle himself.
Sasaki Kojiro couldn't help but sigh to himself.
Fighting against an invisible sword is not a difficult task, and fighting against a warrior with the strange power of a dragon will not cause him any mental fluctuations.
It's nothing more than another battle between 'strength' and 'skill'.
Therefore, it was Saber's current steady and cautious tactics, like a landslide and a tsunami, that really brought the natural disaster-like power advantage to its fullest extent, and the steady and disgusting top-lane pig warrior's tower-pushing suppression tactics that made this swordsman, who was not good at "strength" but was pure in "skills", quite distressed.
"no solution anymore."
Thinking of this, he took advantage of the situation and quickly retreated.
It was precisely timed to coincide with the moment when Saber launched another offensive.
He took the stance of a secret sword: "If I can't find your flaw, then I will create a real flaw with my own hands!"
"Secret Sword.... Swallow Returns!!"
Volume 41: Chapter : The Jungle God is ready to catch a single
Secret sword, Yan returns.
The only Noble Phantasm possessed by a Heroic Spirit named Sasaki Kojiro.
It is not a physical weapon, but an incredible sword skill that touches the realm of Noble Phantasm, the ultimate anti-human demon sword.
That is a miracle called multi-dimensional warping phenomenon.
There are three swords.
Not almost simultaneously, but literally transcending time and space, reversing cause and effect.
Simply avoiding the blow in the real world is not enough.
Because following that fatal sword were two other fatal blows that came from different angles and different spaces, but arrived at the same time.
Therefore, this sword skill that has reached the level of a treasure can be called the ultimate anti-human demon sword. As long as you step into Sasaki Kojiro's sword circle, no one will be able to dodge or parry his secret sword.
unless--
That man can predict the future!
Only in this way can we make full preparations before Sasaki Kojiro slashes out the secret sword, and only in this way can we have a glimmer of hope to crack the secret sword and avoid harm.
Unfortunately.
Saber Gundam's A-level intuition allows her to vaguely foresee the future during battle.
Even if Emiya Shirou had not revealed the information about the secret sword Swallow Return in advance, she would have been able to respond by predicting her own "death", but she would not have been as calm and composed as she is now.
She has two coping strategies in total.
The first is distance.
No matter how incredible the Secret Sword Swallow Returns is, it is still a sword skill in essence, and sword skills... are bound to be limited by the attack range of the weapon.
The blade of Sasaki Kojiro's weapon, the pole sword, is very long.
Counting the arm span, posture, pace...
Saber roughly estimated that the purple-clad swordsman's maximum attack distance could reach up to three meters. In other words, leaving the three-meter sword circle before the sword light fell would be considered an alternative way to break the secret sword.
Of course, this is a cracking tactic that only Saber can adopt.
Because only the foresight of A-level intuition can support the accurate grasp of Sasaki Kojiro's slashing range. Otherwise, if you retreat rashly, you will not only fail to avoid the slashing, but will also reveal a fatal flaw, allowing Sasaki Kojiro, who is a master of swordsmanship, to easily chase and chop off your head.
The second is weapons.
Sasaki Kojiro's real treasure is his sword skills. In other words, the weapon in his hand is just an ordinary piece of iron.
As long as the holy sword is used to destroy the long sword made of ordinary iron in time and the sword that falls into the real world is cut off, the magical skill of the secret sword Swallow Return will no longer be unsolvable. With Saber's current well-adjusted combat state, it is not difficult to avoid its damage.
Dodge, or head hard?
When these two options were placed in front of Saber, she had almost no hesitation.
It's like fate repeating itself.
In this split second of reaction time, Saber, who was so steady from beginning to end that it made people sick, finally decided not to dodge, but to attack - to summon an even more violent storm, and launch the most ferocious attack on Sasaki Kojiro's weapon and even himself! !
Yes, it is similar to how Kojiro Sasaki regarded his most proud secret sword as a clarion call for counterattack to open up the situation and actively create loopholes.
Didn't Saber see this change as an opportunity to secure victory? !
So the invisible holy sword began to roar—
"Strike Air!!"
The 'scabbard' that was supposed to hide the holy sword was transformed by Saber into the most violent 'sword'.
The Invisible Air barrier that she had released on her own initiative completely released the multiple compressed winds at this moment, creating a deadly vacuum and also evoking a truly wild storm.
Noble Phantasm, against Noble Phantasm.
The high-compression storm that gushed out like a hammer seemed to be able to tear apart everything in front of it.
pity--
After all, the storm could not touch the sword light that transcended reality.
Even though the swordsman Sasaki Kojiro, who swung the magic sword, had already experienced the terrifying power of the countless highly compressed wind blades from the wild storm. His clothes were torn to pieces, and countless bloodstains appeared on his arms in an instant, but the fatal sword light was still falling, and the reckless Saber's defeat could not be changed...?
Clang! ! The holy sword is singing.
When the scabbard transforms into the blade itself, it deals damage to the enemy.
This event itself naturally represents the fact that the golden holy sword is no longer hidden by Saber, and is finally unsheathed from the invisible barrier, officially shining its own glory in the Holy Grail War.
Ding! ! A mere iron pole could not stand up to the legendary golden holy sword.
At the same time, it is precisely because Saber launched the attack with the goal of smashing the enemy's weapons and breaking the enemy's claws from the very beginning, the interception she made with her full strength was also particularly effective.
Poof~! ! !
The sounds of multiple flesh and blood bodies being cut open rang out almost simultaneously.
The only difference was that the sword light cut Saber's arms on both sides due to the loss of precision after the weapon was broken, while Sasaki Kojiro's wrists and chest were more fatal - the injury to his wrists made it impossible for him to swing the sword, and the sword marks on his chest clearly recorded his defeat.
Yes, Saber kept the oath she made.
With an extremely powerful attitude, he won the first battle for Emiya Shirou.
"Sure enough, my feeling was right. Shirou's magic power does contain some kind of powerful and strange vitality." After defeating Sasaki Kojiro, Saber did not rush to finish him off, but closed her eyes and felt the magical support from Shirou Emiya.
