When Li Xiang was about to let Astarte blast away the barrier, an unexpected figure appeared on the steps leading to the mountain gate.
Artoria.
She was holding an invisible long sword, and the expression on her face was particularly cold.
"How is this going?"
Li asked subconsciously.
It was naturally impossible for Astarte to answer him.
When Arturia approached, before Li Xiang had time to speak, she rushed over in a condescending manner.
It’s not a warm embrace after a long separation.
Instead, it was a speeding invisible sword light.
Li Xiang instantly turned on the spirit and immortal modes, Han Jian held her holy sword, and exerted force with both hands.
Artoria took a few steps back and landed gracefully with a somersault.
"What happened?"
Li Xiang took the time to ask.
Artoria didn't answer. She dodged and the holy sword struck his neck mercilessly.
With such an abnormal situation, it was easy to know that something was wrong without even thinking about it.
"Astarte, break the barrier."
Li Xiang flicked away her holy sword again.
With the dual blessing of the Word Spirit and Sage Mode, he found that his power was no weaker than Artoria's.
But as a servant, strength is only part of it, the most important thing is her skills and Noble Phantasms.
Artoria paused slightly, held the holy sword in both hands, and stabbed it out suddenly.
In an instant, the swirling wind exploded at an unimaginable speed, like a hammer smashing out.
Li Xiang looked stern.
It cannot be hardwired.
The magic circuit connects the nerves, and magic power surges rapidly.
Substitution!
Bang.
The wooden piles left behind were torn apart.
Li Xiang formed a seal with one hand, and instantly reached Artoria's back, slashing down with the Han sword.
But he knew the reaction of the King of Knights, and at the same time he made a fist with his left hand, passed through the gap between the two like a poisonous snake, and hit her on the head.
Not surprisingly, the Han sword was blocked.
The fist hit successfully.
Artoria suddenly felt dizzy for a moment.
Li Xiang had no sympathy for her, and saw several venomous snakes coming out of his sleeves, opening his mouth and flying out hoarsely.
Latent shadow snake limb!
The Han sword in his hand suddenly drew back, and silvery white air waves rippled from the tip of the sword.
Fu Lingxin flashed two words, crit.
But the King of Knights is the King of Knights after all.
Artoria's dizziness didn't last even for a second.
Seeing the poisonous snake approaching, she didn't make any move. All she saw was a suit of armor suddenly appeared and wrapped her tightly.
This is normal.
During her lifetime, she always wore a helmet because her appearance was too feminine.
As for that helmet, Arturia, who had seen the gun class, could understand that it could indeed hide the appearance.
Even the eyes can't see it.
Although he does not wear a helmet as a servant in this world, it does not mean that he does not exist.
Otherwise, it would be too illogical.
Li Xiang knew that the attack would be in vain.
But a critical hit might surprise him.
The Han sword collided directly with the Holy Sword.
A cloud of gas exploded.
The Holy Sword revealed its true face.
Artoria was slightly surprised, and the huge force caused her to step back.
At this moment, the whole mountain trembled.
Li subconsciously looked up and saw the huge magic power covering the sky.
The stars are whistling.
Clearly visible even in daylight.
The pale golden light fell like a meteor shower.
The barrier creaked.
At this time, Liudong Temple was not as peaceful as imagined.
Emiya Shirou is holding the two projected swords and is struggling to resist the attack of Red A.
But Rin Tohsaka, the master, was nowhere to be seen.
"Who the hell is this guy?"
Red A pupils shrink.
Emiya Shirou fought with him and gradually awakened his body's memory.
But it is far inferior to him.
As long as you give him time, he will definitely be able to kill Emiya Shirou.
And the reason why he did this was because he was tired of his life as a servant.
He is not an ordinary heroic spirit, he is a guardian.
Red A is Emiya Shirou in a certain timeline or the future. After experiencing the Fifth Holy Grail War, he and Tohsaka Rin joined the Clock Tower.
After graduation, he traveled around to pursue his dream of being a righteous partner, constantly saving others.
But in a power station accident, he was close to death.
At this time, the restraint appeared, saying that on the pretext of saving the power station employees, he would become the guardian.
Red A agreed without hesitation.
Since then, he has repeatedly saved people in endless reincarnations.
Finally he got tired of it.
But as a Heroic Spirit, it is impossible to be erased from the Heroic Spirit Seat.
After being summoned, Red A thought of the possibility that if he killed Emiya Shirou in the past, he might no longer exist in the future.
Even if he cooperates with Matou Zouken, he will not hesitate to betray Tohsaka Rin.
Red A glanced at Shirou Emiya, freed up a hand, and saw countless magic circles all around.
Magic power surged into the sky like a tide.
The barrier received support and began to be reinforced again.
Red A couldn't help but feel happy.
Fortunately, he had seen Astarte's battle before and knew how terrifying she was.
When Matou Zangyan came to the door, he chose to cooperate.
The content is that he gets the help of the Great Holy Grail and has infinite magic power.
In return, he will help Matou Zangyan delay time.
But Red A found that he still underestimated Astarte.
It's like hell.
How could there be such a powerful servant?
The strong vibration almost destroyed Ryudou Temple and Mount Enzo together.
While Red A maintained the input of magic power and tried to slow down the time when the barrier was broken, he began to chant magic.
As a magician, he is not a magician from the Age of Gods, so his level of high-speed divine words is low.
If it were Medea, she could cast magic spells with more than a dozen or twenty syllables instantly.
But despite this, Red A is also much faster than in the original game.
There will be no embarrassing situation where you sing for too long and get killed halfway.
The only solution for now is to use his Noble Phantasm.
Unlimited sword system.
Rewrite reality into a mental world.
It's a bit similar to a different space.
Red A plans to drag Emiya Shirou in, and the two of them will settle their grudges.
As for Matou Zangyan, who cares about him.
The moment the two of them disappeared, the barrier was completely broken.
Li Xiang jumped back and avoided Artoria's blow.
Without using the Noble Phantasm, the two of them were evenly matched.
One of the important reasons was that he had seen the swordsmanship used by Artoria.
The knight I met in Avalon when I left for a flower.
same.
At this time, Li Xiang finally understood his identity, the Knight of the Round Table, Artoria's adopted brother, Kai.
"Master."
Astarte raised her hand and asked, "How should she deal with it?"
The barrier has been broken.
But before entering, Artoria must be dealt with.
Li Xiang guessed that the reason why she couldn't speak and attack them was the command spell.
This will only happen if it is enforced.
This also shows that her master, Shirou Emiya, is most likely in danger, and even handed over his command spell to others.
At this moment, Scathach appeared in front of Li Xiang and said, "Leave her to me."
She held a scarlet spear, and there was a rare fighting spirit in her eyes.
She rushed over because the magic leakage from Astarti's attack barrier made her feel it.
Li Xiang was slightly startled, but then nodded.
He crossed Artoria and entered Ryudou Temple.
There were traces of battle all over the ground, but no one could be seen.
"Inherent barrier."
Astarte looked around and said, "It should be the red A."
"Sure enough, something happened."
Li Xiang was not very surprised.
In the original work, Red A did something similar.
Cooperated with Medea and betrayed Tohsaka Rin.
"Are we going to break in?"
Astarte asked.
"Can you enter the inherent barrier?"
Li Xiang seemed a little surprised. The inherent barrier has been called a forbidden spell in magic, and it can be called the top existence.
"As long as the magic power is enough."
Astarte shook his right hand and said with a smile, "The magic power of one planet is more than enough."
"..."
Li Xiang didn't know what to say.
But he could guess who was in the inherent barrier, except Red A himself, who was Emiya Shirou.
He thought for a while and said: "This is their own grudge. Let's find Tohsaka Rin first and ask about the situation."
Li Xiang formed seals with his hands, and his perception expanded accordingly.
In immortal mode, he had a panoramic view of the entire mountain range almost instantly.
It's just pitch black underground, and nothing but magic is magic.
Can't see the situation clearly.
Considering that the Great Holy Grail is here, Li Xiang can understand.
"Tohsaka Rin is inside."
He used a teleportation technique to appear in front of a room, opened it, and saw Tohsaka Rin who was tied up.
Her mouth was stuffed with a towel and she couldn't speak at all.
Seeing Li Xiang, surprise immediately appeared on his face.
"Woooooooo..."
Because of the towel, the voice was muffled.
Li Shang stepped forward, untied her, and asked, "Tohsaka-san, what happened?"
But Tohsaka Rin didn't answer. She looked at Astarte, who looked like her, and forgot to speak for a moment.
Could it be that the mother crossed the line or the father had an affair?
This thought crossed her mind.
It's really too similar.
But she soon thought that she also had a biological sister.
It is said that he was sent to live with a distant relative in Finland.
"You are my sister?"
Tohsaka Rin couldn't help but ask.
"Now is not the time to talk about this."
Astarte raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell us first, why are you here?"
Tohsaka Rin came to his senses and realized his gaffe.
"Last night, an old man who called himself Matou Zouken came to my door. He said that he was a good friend of my father, Tokiomi Tosaka, and could help me win the Holy Grail War. But what I didn't expect was that my servant, Caster, would betray me.
"After he secretly conspired with Matou Zouken, he used a strange dagger to break the contract between me and him. I don't know much about what happened after that. After he was captured at Ryudouji Temple, I saw Emiya Shirou
and his servant Saber.”
"I see."
Li Xiang also confirmed his conjecture.
It was indeed Red A's betrayal.
As for the dagger, it is most likely that he projected Medea's Noble Phantasm, and all the talismans must be broken.
The effect is to sever the contract.
It is quite useful in the Holy Grail War.
However, it stands to reason that the effect of the projected dagger should not be as good as the original version.
But considering the Matō Zoukstone, it is also possible.
Fortunately, Red A is not ruthless enough to kill Tohsaka Rin.
At least it's better than the original.
Leaving Tohsaka Rin to Matou Shinji, the famous meme was born, I can play with these legs for a year.
Fortunately Cu Chulainn arrived and rescued her.
After Tosaka Rin exhaled, he asked: "What's going on outside? I just felt a strong earthquake. Was it you and Caster who were fighting?"
"Emiya, like you, was deprived of his Servant, but he was pulled into the Noble Phantasm by Caster. There is currently no way to know the situation."
Li Xiang explained, "Based on my guess, Caster's Noble Phantasm is most likely an inherent barrier. And Saber was temporarily held back by my colleagues, so I came to rescue you."
Inherent enchantment?
As an orthodox magician, Tohsaka Rin received Tosaka Tokiomi's systematic education from an early age, and was not a dabbler like Emiya Shirou.
She understands the concept of inherent barriers very well.
"If you want to save Emiya, you must know where Caster's Command Seal is. If you recapture the Command Seal, you can order Caster to unlock the inherent barrier."
Li Xiang said in a deep voice.
Over and over again, we come back to the same problem.
Where is the Matou Zoukashi?
"The Great Holy Grail."
Tohsaka Rin suddenly said, "After I was captured, neither Caster nor Matou Zouken paid attention to me, so I heard the content of their cooperation. It was probably that Caster obtained the magic power of the Great Holy Grail and then delayed time for him."
"You stay here."
Li Xiang made a decisive decision and said, "My followers and I will handle it."
"I am coming too!"
Tohsaka Rin said immediately.
"Although it sounds a bit unpleasant, it's hard to help with your strength."
Li Xiang shook his head and said.
"..."
Tohsaka Rin stopped talking.
But she still maintained her ladylike elegance and didn't argue anymore.
"I asked Ma Anna to take you back."
Astarte motioned for her to come outside.
"You want to stay too?"
Tohsaka Rin was slightly startled and asked worriedly, "It is better to leave such dangerous things to the servants."
Astarte couldn't help but laugh.
She grabbed her hand, pulled her out of the door, and said: "You really think that I am your sister, but unfortunately, I am not. But your sister does stay at my house. After this matter is over, you
You can see her."
Tohsaka Rin was stunned.
She's not my sister, but she looks so much like me?
Astarte pushed her onto the flying carpet and said, "Hold on."
Tohsaka Rin came to his senses and was already far away from Ryudou Temple.
The Great Holy Grail is, strictly speaking, a magical ritual.
Its essence is Justeza's magic circuit.
Justeza is an artificial human created by the Einzbern family.
The third magic owner born by accident.
The so-called third magic, the materialization of the soul, ultimately leads to immortality.
The Einzbern family was founded by the disciples of the magician who achieved the third magic.
Unfortunately, their technology was not up to par and they could not reproduce the miracle of Justeza, so they built a system for the Holy Grail War.
Essentially to get to the root.
Inject the souls of the six dead servants into the Small Holy Grail, use their power to return to the Seat of Heroes to pierce the world, and then use the accumulated magic power of the Great Holy Grail to fix the hole, thus creating a door to the source.
As for the so-called fulfillment of any wish, it is just a reason to attract magicians to participate in the Holy Grail War.
The location of the Great Holy Grail is the large hollow under Ryudou Temple.
Astarte raised her hand, without using a gem, and saw a golden light pouring out from her fingertips and penetrating the ground until the end.
Upon seeing this, Li Xiang jumped down the aisle.
It took about half a minute to reach the bottom.
A hollowed-out hall.
There is almost no need to search.
He saw the Matō Zokan.
At this time, he doesn't look like a normal human being.
A face with only a faint nose and eyes, and blood-colored lines all over the body.
He looked at Li Xiang and said: "This is our first meeting. Master of Chaldea, please allow me to introduce myself as one of the seventy-two demon pillars, Sequence 8, Barbatos."
