(Some book friends asked me whether Ling Yi was a modern magician or a traditional magician. My answer was that he was a modern magician who used non-traditional magician, not a modern magician who used modern magic. Please vote above!)

After the feint attack, Rin Tosaka and Atalante immediately rushed to the Castle of Einzberen. However, this vast sea of ​​trees was a big trouble that could not be escaped, because the previous indiscriminate arrow rain, golems and ghouls were basically wiped out, and a few surviving ghouls and golems wandered around in the forest filled with haze. Not to mention, this was indeed a bit of a terrifying smell. The rustling sounds around could not tell whether it was the sound of wind or man-made. From time to time, the remains of ghouls could be seen. The rotten and pungent smell hit the face, and the sweetness of high concentration of magic power made people feel the urge to vomit.

Suddenly, Atalanta reached out to stop Rin Tosaka.

“Wait, Master.”

"What? Is it a trap again?"

Tosaka Rin frowned both bored and helplessly. She encountered many magic traps along the way. Most of them were about to explode tree trunk explosions. Although the power was not great, the sputtered trunk fragments were as sharp as blades. A simple explosion could also be used to lie down to avoid impact. The sputtering of the fragments was free of dead corners, thanks to Atalante. In addition, it was an illusion barrier, which was mainly used to interfere with the sense of direction of the creature and increase the chance of the trap being triggered.

However, as a famous huntress, no matter where she is, the forest is Atalante's home court, and no trap can work for her.

"No, this time not."

That is the breath of the follower.

Atalanta was about to tell Rin Tosaka this news.

The thick fog in front of me gradually emerged the outline of a figure.

Tosaka Rin seemed to have noticed something, holding a gem in her hand and posing in a defensive posture.

The sound of armor colliding through the haze is very crisp.

Soon, they saw the true face of the figure. It was a naked man with his upper body, his long silver hair draped over his shoulders as if he had lost his luster. It was a bit inappropriate for humans, and his body was covered in scars, as if he was taken out of a pool of blood. Rather than saying that he had experienced an extremely tragic battle, it was better to say that he had encountered a gas explosion. Humans who survived such injuries should not exist.

Yes, they came to the conclusion when they witnessed this scene.

——Heroic Spirit.

The silver-haired man raised his eyelids and supervised them, and grabbed the sword that appeared in the void without saying a word. This sword, which seemed like a work of art, was in a strong contrast with his tragic appearance.

"...Are you Saber?" After seeing the sword, Atalante instantly guessed the other party's identity.

Don't say that. She really guessed it right.

This man is Saber, the dragon-slaying hero Siegfried, who fought to the death with Garner and was lucky enough to survive. Although Garner's treasure is a thunder gun that must be killed with one blow, plus a 100% absolute hit, once it is projected, its power is no less than the legendary statement of the great god. But at the last moment, Garner still hides his weakness.

If the sharp gun granted by Indra is compared to a military weapon with a wide attack range, then the trick hidden by Karna can turn this gun into a "nuclear weapon".

However, because Shinji Maki was present, in order not to involve the Lord, he could only give up this trick and just use the killing gun as his final masterpiece.

This regret is nothing compared to a desperate battle.

But it is also because of this. Saber survived. With the damage reduction of [Dragon Blood Armor], even if Karna tries all his magic, he will only cause serious injuries to him at most. Of course, Saber has no doubt that if both sides change their positions and Karna's master becomes Alter Luqi, then he can fully utilize the EX-specification magic gun.

Should we say it is better to meet someone badly or to be so destined? In short, it is great to be able to die with a smile at the end.

I hope there will be a chance to fight in the future, my friend.

Saber ignored the pain that was enough to destroy reason in his body, and inserted his sword into the ground, as if he was declaring: If you want to pass here, you must first knock him down.

Alteruqi's mission is to kill the servants you see.

The girl in front of me is also a follower.

Then, he can't retreat

“What should I do? Master.”

This question is a bit redundant.

There is no reason for friendly interaction between different camps, let alone the Holy Grail War. Even if it is an ally of the same camp, there is only one final winner.

A battle that is destined to death is inevitable.

".....Saber, how are the people fighting you?"

Without answering Atalanta, Tosaka Rin was silent for a while and asked.

“—Dead.”

Saber spoke, his hoarse voice as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.

"It's Lancer, right?"

“….”

Without speaking, this should be the default.

"Tsk, since that's the case, wouldn't you be sorry for Lancer's painstaking efforts?"

Rin Tosaka didn't know how Garner was fighting with Saber. She only knew that Lancer hurt the other party to such a degree at the cost of her life. If she didn't take advantage of this advantage, then everything Lancer did was meaningless.

"Archer, you know what to do."

Feeling the pure determination of the Lord, Atalanta sighed lightly, and an arc curved at the corner of her mouth.

That's right.

"There is no word fair in the Hunter's dictionary. Saber can be said before. Even if you think it is unfair, I will not show mercy."

“…”

Facing the opponent's pre-war declaration, Saber, the dragon-slaying hero who had already fallen down and could not move, held his breath and pulled out the sword inserted on the ground, raised it high to show his battle.

——This is his declaration.

☆

Ling Yi took a deep breath of air. Feeling the pure ether flowing in his body, the uneasiness of the heart finally suppressed.

In the final analysis, although the heroic spirit uses magic as food to manifest itself, there are ways to supplement magic. For example, as a spirit body, a soul with the same root and the same origin.

He is not a heroic spirit, but he has the characteristics of a heroic spirit.

When it comes to magical supplements, it must be mentioned - sacrifices.

Since ancient times, the ritual of sacrifice has not only divided into many forms. But in the end, they are offering sacrifices to gods, and the saying of gods in the way of gods is spiritual bodies. So, in this way, the act of sacrifice of souls to heroes who are spiritual bodies is not incredible.

However, for the human souls whose spirits are far higher than theirs, there is no concept of mass at all.

Just have quantity. Sacrifice is basically divided into purity in quality and magnitude in quantity.

So once the soul is needed to replenish magic power, then a lot of souls must be needed to achieve the effect.

In the present world, human death is a very important matter, and in terms of the result, this is completely contrary to the idea that the Holy Grail War needs to be hidden.

The church cannot agree with this kind of thing. Moreover, it is an iron rule not to hurt ordinary people.

But after saying so much, this does not affect Ling Yi's familiarity with his own power. The more he refines the magic power, the more he can feel the clear and powerful pulsation of the heart like the sun, which contains infinite vitality. Ordinary heroes can't have such obvious feelings even if they dig out their hearts for him. Undoubtedly, this is the first bloodline and the most primitive power of Karna.

On this day, Ling Yi was not idle and claimed to be studying magic, but in fact he was familiar with and mastering the changes in his body. Only after understanding in depth can he fully utilize his own advantages.

After all, in the past, he used to absorb the external ether to balance the vitality consumed by the [Magic Corridor]. He had to be careful when using magic. He did not dare to use magic-consuming techniques that were too magic-consuming, but in this way, he would have mastered the techniques more thoroughly and would not have any errors in wasting magic power meaninglessly.

However, with the heart of Karna, not only his physique was improved. In addition, the vitality of the demigod is extremely huge. Even if he does not devour the magic of death on the battlefield, he doesn't have to worry about his exhaustion and death. In other words, Ling Yi can finally free up most of his magic to do other important things.

The castle corridor at night is very quiet, with night light falling on the carpet, and it also illuminates the murals and knight statues on both sides of the corridor. Such a peaceful atmosphere is invaded by the outside world. The fire in the north of the forest soars into the sky, as if passing by the charge of the sun chariot, and gradually spreading to both sides in a straight line. The thick smoke that is inseparable from the night color cannot even cover up the haze. This tragic battlefield, with your toes, you can guess, it must be the work of two top-notch followers fighting each other.

But I just don't know who won in the end.

This should be the use of the treasure.

In other words, is Karna... dead?

Ling Yi stood in front of the corridor window and looked at the fire under the night sky, and couldn't help but be surprised. With Garner's strength, he had to use treasures. Saber's strength was too strong. This definitely exceeded Artoria, at least in terms of martial arts. If Saber could survive under Garner's killing gun before his death, then his defense would have to be re-evaluated.

Forget it, compared to the previous Holy Grail War, this time Karna has fulfilled his wish.

Looking back ten years ago, because of his incompetence, he had to act like a mouse.

The strongest spearman actually had to accompany his master to be a mouse.

Until the end, I did not fight the strong enemy happily.

This is undoubtedly a kind of irony.

Even Ling Yi had to admit that if he hadn't been familiar with the plot, he would not even have hope of winning.

However, this time.

There is no need to consider so many conspiracies and tricks, and there is no need to care about the strategies and tactics of the Lord.

Just follow the orders to defeat the enemy.

From a certain perspective, Shinji Maki may be the most suitable master for him - if he can have a little brainpower.

According to time, it has been an hour since I acted alone.

It took a lot of time to pass through the forest. After all, Kuchulin's rune magic and Alteruqi's barrier are not so easy to solve.

It was very smooth to sneak into the castle, and I didn't encounter anything like traps or alarm techniques. This was simply incredible. The defenses on the outside were so tight, but when I reached the inside, I relaxed.

What does it mean? Wait for prey to come to your door?

Ling Yi tried his best to turn on [Abreath Closing A+]. According to the information provided by the imaginary body, he soon arrived at the basement.

In fact, Einzberen Castle has no basement, only a cellar, which is specially used to store food and wine. Obviously, this is a product similar to a magic workshop created by Alteruqi with magic tricks. Only such a room can imprison two magicians with great strength and rich combat experience.

This is a basement covered with stones.

Very dark.
