"poison?" Rider looked at the woman at the side. You know, poison is what she is best at. "But I have never seen this kind of poison before. It can infect the whole body in an instant and dissipate directly into the air like powder. This is really an extremely powerful poison." Assassin openly praised the poison that tortured Archer, a poison that could even infect Servants, which was extremely terrifying for a modern magus. But to her, this poison was just a bug the size of a finger. When the Command Seal was summoned, the poison was about to spread all over Archer's body, and Archer might die in the next second, but Assassin just took a look and reached out to touch Archer's cat-like face. The lines on her body began to gradually collapse and dissipate. Compared with her, this poison was still too weak. The moment she came into contact with Archer, she injected the poison into her body. The two were fighting inside Archer's body, so Archer looked so painful. Fighting poison with poison is the best way to resolve this kind of poison in a short period of time. "Archer will recover tomorrow, don't worry too much. After all, we can't easily damage such an important force."
With Assassin's guarantee, Rider put aside his own worries and looked at the white-haired priest standing beside her. "The Saber on the black side is the legendary Knight King." Rider told the priest the news with a serious look. "is it?" "You can defeat him." The priest's tone was very calm, and he didn't seem to be at all surprised that the enemy's Servant was the Knight King. "Of course! The next time we meet, that will be when he leaves!" Rider's tone was extremely confident. In the next clash, he was determined to take off the Knight King's head. "I was able to defeat a Servant!" In the castle of the Yugdomirenia clan, all the masters and servants were deeply shocked by Shirou Emiya's strength. Chapter 126 Unlocking New Usages While Arthur and Rider were still fighting, the battle between Emiya and Archer was not over. The ability to change form at will with [Thousand Changes] and the ability to continuously stack [Devil Haunting] were too much for Archer to handle. Unless Archer can shoot a powerful and penetrating arrow at once and pierce Shirou Emiya before he can react. Or maybe an arrow was so fast that he couldn't react at all, piercing Emiya Shirou's head before he could raise his defense. However, the speed of the bow and arrow and the attack strength are mutually linked. When your speed reaches a certain level, the power of the arrow will be in place. But it was obvious that with her current archery skills, she was not yet able to easily pierce such defenses. She is better at launching large-scale arrow rains, or attacks like waves, one after another, making it difficult for people to cope with the continuous attacks, rather than accumulating strength to release an extremely penetrating blow. Besides, Shirou Emiya had put on a [Devil Haunted] suit without anyone noticing.
As for why Emiya didn't stack [Evil Spirit Haunting] on himself. It will still cause physical oppression to the user. If another item is stacked on top of [Haunted by Evil Spirits], the oppression will increase exponentially. It seemed that because the two were the same weapon, they resonated with each other, greatly enhancing the sense of oppression. Only [Ever-changing], which is at the top level in terms of hardness and softness, can withstand the damage caused by multiple layers of [Evil Spirit Haunting]. Ten layers, this is the limit that [Thousands of Changes] can bear. If one more layer is added, I am afraid that [Thousands of Changes] will be crushed to pieces under the exponentially increasing pressure. In other words, as long as Archer can break through the shield and pierce the armor worn by Shirou Emiya, he can be killed. Looks pretty easy doesn't it? “It’s really annoying!” Archer kept shuttling back and forth in the forest. Although she was not as fast as Rider, she was definitely not weaker. If she could shoot at Shirou Emiya from all directions at an extremely fast speed, perhaps the shield over there would not be able to stop her. However, Emiya seemed to be aware of the shortcomings of his shield. The shield-like [Thousand Changes] covered by [Evil Ghost] changed its shape and surrounded Emiya in a square, leaving only a hole for him to shoot. "hateful!!!" It's not that Archer couldn't shoot into that small mouth. With her archery skills, she could hit the target as easily as drinking water. But the key point is that with the changing shape of the thread, it can completely surround it before her shot hits it, making it completely invulnerable. It would be better to let her fight Rider. At least Rider has his own weaknesses. As long as she can hit him, she still has a chance to fight. Of course, it's just an opportunity. A head-on confrontation with her will only result in being killed. "Ding--!" Just when she was feeling extremely bored, a voice around her attracted her attention. In such a silent forest, apart from the sounds of the two sides fighting, there shouldn't be such strange sounds. Beside her, the sword arrows that had not hit her at all began to melt away at an extremely fast speed. A sense of crisis that soared into the sky made the hair on her body stand up. "Come on!" With only this one thing in her mind, she retreated at an extremely terrifying speed. But it's too late to retreat now. At some point, she was surrounded by countless swords with chains and ordinary-looking samurai swords. They all began to melt away in an instant. Only then did she realize why Emiya Shirou continued to shoot at her position despite such poor accuracy and firing rate. To surround her like this was his ultimate goal.
She had never imagined that she would fall into the hands of a Master. She must have felt extremely humiliated. Not only did he fail to cause any harm to the enemy Master, but he also fell into the enemy's trap. Is this why it will never be clear who is the hunter and who is the prey until the last moment? “In the name of the Command Seal, Archer—” When the familiar noticed that something was wrong, the explosion had already begun. "boom----!" As if the bombardment of a bomber exploded around Archer, the entire forest was illuminated as brightly as day in an instant. [Haunted by Evil Spirits] Because of the power contained in it, a violent explosion is released after the collapse. What about Murasame? It does have special abilities, but Emiya is unable to meet Murasame's requirements, so I cannot utilize this power. When all emotions are lost, [Murasame] will transform into a demon sword, allowing the owner to abandon his or her human identity and essence, and use the negative emotions of the undead under the sword to gain exponential speed and strength bonuses. But since Emiya cannot use it directly, does that mean that this power does not exist? This is obviously impossible, so the explosion of [Murasame] is not only extremely violent, but also carries the poison of [one-hit-kill]. However, because it is not an imperial weapon that is mainly used for strengthening, the explosion it produces will also contain extremely dangerous poisons. If the priest had used the Command Seal to recall him a moment later, Archer might have been eliminated. Assassin did not find the antidote immediately. She only knew that there was no poison in the world that was worse than the one she had. Therefore, he chose to use poison to help Archer detoxify. The poison released by Assassin after entering Archer's body was like a poisonous snake, swallowing up the poison that could kill with one blow, bite by bite. It's just that because there is more than one [Murasame] around Archer, stripes keep appearing and disappearing on her body. This is a manifestation of the battle between the two poisons. If Archer had not been a Heroic Spirit, she would have died on the battlefield in a matter of seconds. "Master! Are you okay?" The battle was over, and Arthur returned to Emiya Shirou almost the moment Rider left. The existence of the Command Spell enables them to sense each other's positions. Even though Shirou Emiya defeated Archer, Arthur didn't know whether his Master was injured or not. He was extremely anxious at this moment. Chapter 127: Red Team’s Combat Strength "No injuries." Emiya rubbed the red mark above his brow. Compared with his previous battles, this battle could be said to be safe and sound. Emiya even hoped that future battles would be like this without any danger, without having to suffer sore all over every time he fought. "Really? I didn't expect that you, Master, could defeat Archer by yourself. In comparison, I could only injure Rider slightly. I really didn't fulfill my responsibility as a Servant." Arthur felt a little guilty. If his Master didn't have such strength, wouldn't he have been killed by Archer when Arthur was entangled by Rider?
Arthur began to reflect deeply on himself. Because of his own experience, he would actually save money unconsciously. For example, this time, he used the Wind King's Barrier at the last moment, and only when he felt that the battle could not be delayed any longer did he think of releasing the treasure. After all, magic power in the Holy Grail War is limited, and with the magic power he uses to release the Noble Phantasm, ordinary Masters are not able to provide it, so he habitually plans to save magic power for the Master. Then he remembered that he didn't need to save magic power like this. Sufficient magic power was meant for him to fight earlier. But in fact, when facing Rider, releasing the Noble Phantasm would probably only make himself a sitting duck. Then Arthur's mind became active again, perhaps he could keep his Noble Phantasm in a released state and make a slashing attack. Normally, Arthur would not think this way. After all, his Noble Phantasm consumes a lot of blue, and it is difficult for the Master to withstand such consumption. But it is true that if they fight like this, they might be able to quickly eliminate the Rider. If they slash him while the Noble Phantasm is released, Rider might not be able to withstand it. This is not the magecraft covering the holy sword. {ps: Similar to Heida's fighting style} This is the power of the holy sword itself, which can easily break through Rider's defenses. "Master, do we still need to go to church?" Arthur asked Emiya Shirou. Although they had repelled the two riders this time, they had to know that the [Red] side had seven riders, and Rider alone was enough to fight them on equal terms. Moreover, for the Red Side, this was just a test, and they had no intention of starting a war here, so they chose to retreat. If they continue to move forward, they may truly understand the strength of the Red Team. "Ga! Ga! Ga! Ga! Ga!" Just as Emiya Shirou and Arthur were hesitating, the crows in the sky made a shrill cry and circled down from the sky above the forest. A screen appeared in front of Shirou Emiya and Arthur. "The probing is enough, and it's getting late now. It will be dawn in a while, and Black Saber has returned from the battlefield." "The Red Lancer will soon return to the church. If we move forward, we might be surrounded, and that would be a loss." "Besides, we have also learned the true names of Saber, Lancer, Archer, and Rider of the Red Team. We have gained enough from this battle. Let's retreat to Tuliface first." Danic conveyed the final decision to Emiya Shirou. He had already seen the strength of the three opposing riders and learned their real names. This battle could be said to be a great gain for the black side. "What are their real names?" Emiya couldn't wait to ask Danic. He knew the real name of the red rider Saber, and it was not surprising that the black rider who was monitoring them also knew it, but how did the other three riders determine their real names. "I'll answer that for you." A very calm-looking man with brown hair spoke in a very intellectual voice. "Archer on the red side is a female hunter in Greek mythology who is famous for her swift feet. Rider is Achilles, the fastest hero in the world, who is famous for his bravery in the Trojan War. Lancer is Karna, the son of the sun god Surya and the hero of charity in the Indian mythology Mahabharata." He did not tell Emiya Shirou and Arthur that Achilles was his apprentice. After all, if he did so, it would be equivalent to revealing his real name to these two extremely powerful duo. They do not completely belong to the black camp, and he still retains some information about himself, but he will reveal the information about the red camp to them.
After all, they are still allies, at least in name. It would also be a very good situation to let it deal with the red team. The four knights displayed by the opposing side poured cold water on Danic. It might be very difficult to win the Holy Grail War this time. This is just the servant that the other party has shown. Especially the opponents Lancer and Rider, who were completely out of standard. Not to mention Karna, it could be seen just from the battle with Saber on the black side.
