Chapter 8 8 Exploration!

Chapter 8 8. Exploration!

"Get out of the way!"

With an indescribable feeling of frustration, Sakura Kyoko could only shout at the hiding Master.

The red thorn chain was shuttling through the air to block the opponent's route.

(At this time, she was actually very glad that she was blocked from ordinary means of attack)

Looking at the magic circle on her body, Sakura Kyoko felt very lucky.

Otherwise, with her current state, her Master might not have a chance to escape.

"Bang Bang Bang!!"

Sparks flew everywhere, and the silver water droplets protected the surroundings like slime, but the gradually uneven traces told of the not-so-good consequences.

Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid

The magic costume held by Kenneth has excellent abilities on both offense and defense.

He wore it specially to assist Sora.

(Even if Lancer didn't attack with a gun, we couldn't hold on for long.)

Kenneth frowned and was protected with Sora, but the two could not escape smoothly.

It was unexpected that Lancer would be controlled by Caster.

Or rather, they had never seen such a straightforward control method.

"Sora, use the Command Spell!"

Having made such a judgment, Kayneth could only try such a method.

They would definitely not be able to outrun Lancer, who was a Servant.

Without knowing the principle of the other party's control, the best way at present was to use the Command Spell to snatch Lancer back.

"But. How to give the order?"

Hearing this, Sora hesitated for a while and spoke.

Although the Command Spell is said to be able to command the Servant, the problem is that if the order is too vague, the effectiveness will be insufficient.

"Just let her leave here directly."

"In the current situation, other Servants and Masters will probably come close soon, right?"

"We must first leave the center that may become the focus of attention, and we can't stay here for long."

It can only be said that Caster's strange method forced them to be so embarrassed.

This group of heroes always has moves that they cannot understand.

"Command with the Command Seal!"

"Leave here! Lancer!"

A red light flashed on the back of his hand, and the thorn chains that shuttled through the sky stopped in the air, and the attack did not come again.

Taking this opportunity, Kenneth immediately took Sora away from the scene.

"Hey, you are quite flexible!"

Her body stopped in place, and Sakura Kyoko breathed a sigh of relief.

She was afraid that her master would not think clearly and fight, which would only make things worse.

It is not a bad thing to expose herself to the outside now.

"Tsk, I can feel that the flow of magic power has decreased."

"It seems that Caster's magic is not all omnipotent, and the magic and the Command Seal that he controls have a hedging effect."

The control power that bound himself had begun to weaken, but the magic circle on his body was still so conspicuous.

Thinking about the means to fight against Caster, Sakura Kyoko was a little troubled.

Just one opponent was so troublesome, she didn't dare to think about what other guys would do.

Although he also got back the "inherent skills" that a magical girl deserves because of "Heroic Spirit Transformation", it can only be used as a surprise move.

Once seen by those guys who are good at fighting, it may no longer be effective.

"This war is much more difficult than fighting witches!!"

…………

"Are Rider and Berserker the only ones who haven't shown up yet?"

Tohsaka Tokiomi was thinking while sitting in the magic workshop he set up.

He saw the confrontation between Caster and Lancer through his familiars.

Counting the servants he had seen so far, only Rider and Berserker did not show up.

"Last night's bombardment"

"Was it Caster who did it?"

Based on the means Caster showed today, it is difficult to judge who attacked yesterday.

"Rider"

"Berserker"

It is more likely that these two riders were responsible

"The Matou family also participated in the competition this time, but I haven't seen them make any moves so far"

"This is very strange."

Thinking of a forgotten force, Tohsaka Tokiomi frowned and thought.

Logically speaking, the Matou family didn't have any contestants this time, but later he heard that someone from the other side was also selected.

But they didn't reveal who it was.

Before, Tohsaka Tokiomi just thought that the Matou family also had ambitions, so he didn't care, but now it seems wrong.

Is the other party too quiet?

Rider and Berserker don't know which of the two riders is the other's servant.

"Teacher?"

"How is Assassin?"

"The injury is very serious and it is difficult to move at the moment."

"Really?"

Looking at the disciple who came in, Tohsaka Tokiomi greeted him immediately, but after getting the other party's answer, he was a little distressed.

Originally, it would be best to let Assassin go to investigate the situation, but because of the injury, it was unexpected that such trouble would occur.

"Send a familiar to check on the Matou family."

"Surveillance?"

"They should also have contestants, and we need to be on guard."

"Understood."

Obeying Tokiomi's arrangement, Kotomine Kirei didn't say much.

Until he left, his expression was so indifferent.

Compared to Tokiomi's pursuit, Kotomine Kirei is now more concerned with satisfying himself.

Maybe he used to be an obedient "good boy", but just dreaming about some of Assassin's life experiences filled him with "emotions" that he had never had before.

Was it sadness, surprise, or joy?

The impulse to try to do something made him, who had always been desireless, have some enlightenment.

Under the awakening of that strange emotion, Kotomine Kirei no longer clings to the previous calmness and desirelessness.

"Sure enough, there are unknown possibilities between people."

"The answer I'm pursuing is becoming clearer and clearer."

At first, he wanted to see the character of Emiya Kiritsugu with his own eyes, but now it seems unnecessary.

"It makes me so curious. Sure enough, the Holy Grail War is incredible."

Full of exploration, the priest who already has his own self began to seek.

"Assassin."

"You should pay attention to what the teacher said. It's not safe to send out a familiar. You should go there yourself."

"Be careful."

Giving instructions to the figure in the shadow, Kotomine Kirei stood with his hands behind his back.

"Swoosh!"

The blurry figure disappeared from the spot, and Kotomine Kirei had to sigh that the medicine Gilgamesh gave was really useful.

Such a serious injury was healed in just one night.

Although he exchanged it for the Dragon Ball, it didn't matter.

Qualification for the competition

As long as he and Assassin cooperate well, they don't have to worry about such opportunities.

As long as the servants are in hand, they can grab new Dragon Balls and return to the chessboard sooner or later.

As for the Dragon Balls that Gilgamesh took back to the treasury, it is even less of a problem.

As the participating masters, they are given knowledge by the Dragon Balls far more than the Heroic Spirits know.

Getting something for nothing. And hiding it from the teacher.

When he thought of his bold actions, his heart was filled with unknown satisfaction.

(Gilgamesh is too naive after all)

(Do you think that if you put the Dragon Balls back into the treasury, no one can get them again?)

With a faint arc on his lips, Kotomine Kirei was looking forward to seeing the scene of the "king" losing his composure.
