Chen Xiaofeng gave a random reason, but Artoria nodded and accepted this ridiculous reason.
"I understand, then let's rush out together... However, master must not stop and face the magician before I say you can stop."
"I understand." Chen Xiaofeng nodded.
Since Artoria is so afraid of the magician, Chen Xiaofeng must also be careful.
Arturia was very satisfied with Chen Xiaofeng's honest nod of agreement. In this way, after settling Chen Xiaofeng, she could safely compete with the magician.
"Then, get ready to go." Chen Xiaofeng declared a breakout.
However--
A moment.
Chen Xiaofeng began to doubt his own eyes, because he saw Artoria's sword slashing towards him, a swift blow that was merciless and unavoidable, and exploded on the top of Chen Xiaofeng's head as he stood dumbly.
However, that blow did not hit Chen Xiaofeng, but blocked him from the sword blade coming from behind.
Before Chen Xiaofeng could say thank you, several silver lights flashed again in the darkness. Chen Xiaofeng quickly picked up the fruit knife on the coffee table and deflected the blow.
Even Chen Xiaofeng himself couldn't believe that he did not rely on his reflexes to take the blow, but instead used his weapon to block the seemingly impossible attack.
But the thing in the darkness didn't give up, and swiped at him again without hesitation, with smooth, mechanical movements and an accurate attack that didn't waste any effort, but that was all.
It's accurate but doesn't give people that sense of crisis.
This attack was too slow compared to Hassan's, and like a feather compared to Artoria's.
Just two days of training paid off. Chen Xiaofeng once again deflected the attack. Different from before, this time Chen Xiaofeng used his ability to deflect the attack, so the unknown thing was temporarily deflected a certain distance away. The two of them
The surroundings are now empty.
"Now, Master!"
Artoria said loudly, and then she and Chen Xiaofeng rushed towards the balcony, moving towards a deserted place.
As Chen Xiaofeng and Artoria left, the things in the room also followed them out one after another, moving closely with their footsteps.
It's past school time in Academy City, and it's very quiet.
Even Xuexue Street, which seemed very busy during the day, looked particularly deserted.
Those things moved very fast, and it seemed more than enough to catch up with the two. Therefore, Artoria and Chen Xiaofeng, who were moving, had to concentrate on killing the alien things that followed them.
The alien was shattered into pieces by Artoria's blow and disappeared like a phantom.
"Isn't this too weak?" Looking at the alien creatures that were killed one by one by Artoria, Chen Xiaofeng felt that his own heartbeat was being made out of a molehill.
"Master, you are totally wrong to think so. These aliens are soldiers that use the bodies of monsters as catalysts. It is not easy to control things that are originally monsters, but the quality seems to be
It’s very bad. With the current level of aliens, even if we are surrounded, there won’t be a big problem, but..."
Artoria had an uneasy expression on her face. Where were they hiding? No, not only this question, Artoria didn't know how these aliens sneaked into the house before.
Alien creatures that looked like skeletons followed closely behind the two of them. Countless alien creatures had been chopped down, but the number did not seem to be decreasing.
So far, the magician has not appeared.
"Master, right!"
Chen Xiaofeng held the fruit knife in his hand and blocked it with his backhand. With his own abilities, the shape of the alien skull began to crack and then shattered to pieces.
What followed was an endless pursuit.
The skeletons approached the two of them with loose movements, and each skeleton used the same movement to attack. Although it was not difficult to fight off, and although Academy Street seemed deserted and empty of people, there was no guarantee that no one would appear.
, if ordinary people show up at that time, there is a risk of accidental injury.
"Where do these things come from?" Chen Xiaofeng said impatiently. Although they obviously did not see them replenishing or regenerating, the quantity did not decrease at all.
Not only behind the two of them, but also on the tall buildings on both sides of College Street, there were many skeleton aliens. If this continued, it would be a matter of time before they ran out of energy.
"Since it's useless to solve them one by one..." Artoria raised her sword again. Her sword was not blessed with the Wind King's barrier at this moment, and it was no longer transparent.
There is no need to hide anymore, the golden sword shines in order to exert its true power.
"Wait, wait a minute Artoria! No, don't use the [Sword of Oath to Victory]! It doesn't matter that this is a commercial street, but you should know that there is a residential area across the street. With the destruction of your Noble Phantasm
If you use that force, it will definitely spread over there, so you should know what the consequences will be if you use that move here, right?"
Chen Xiaofeng said to Artoria while helping to clean up the skeletons.
"However, if we don't wipe them all out at once, we will slowly be pushed into a desperate situation."
"I know, but do you still remember what the magic book said? The best way to defeat the summoned object is to defeat the master. So Lily, at the same time as the heroic spirit, can you find or feel the location of the magician?"
"There is no need to look for it. The magician's aura is on the buildings on both sides. He didn't even hide his own aura. In other words, it seems that he has dug a trap to lure us."
"It doesn't matter even if it's a trap. If this continues, we will be in dire straits, right?"
"If the master says so, then I will go and fight the magician."
"Eh?"
Artoria is talking about me, not us. Does that mean Artoria plans to face it alone?
"Master, I said that you are not allowed to face a magician with your current strength, so I will do this."
"but……",
But if we can use our abilities, with the strength of the two of us, we can definitely defeat the magician - Arturia interrupted me before I could say this.
"Master, you promised me that you would never stop and face the magician!"
That was indeed what he promised...but Chen Xiaofeng was still a little unwilling. But Artoria's eyes showed no room for negotiation.
It's useless to be unwilling... Chen Xiaofeng seems to have given up. Besides, if he wants to face the magician, Artoria may be distracted for her own safety after entering the battle.
Therefore, Chen Xiaofeng could only compromise at this moment.
