Chapter 425: The Man Behind the Spiral of Contradictions
The bow and arrow in his hand disappeared, replaced by a pair of black and white double blades. He quickly approached with both blades in hand, aimed at Caster's spiritual core, and swung it hard.
boom--
The raging flames ignited, and the ring of fire with Caster as the center spread to all sides, forcing the young man to retreat. Although Caster was not very good at fighting, it was only compared to other heroes who had experienced hundreds of battles.
At the same time, the atmosphere began to flow, condensing into a translucent net that covered the man. The earth shook violently, and thorns stabbed out from the surface one after another, leaving the man with no place to stand.
Faced with an explosion of magic that was like a natural disaster, he could only struggle to escape, but he soon realized that doing so was futile and would only waste his magic power.
"trace on."
A spiral sword was projected in his hand, then transformed into an arrow, placed on the bow, and aimed at Caster not far away.
Layers of barriers rose up, and this arrow brought him a great sense of threat. Although it was just a projected Noble Phantasm, the power of the explosion should not be underestimated, so Caster became more and more interested in this man.
Curious.
The layers of barriers instantly shattered, but in the end the blow was blocked. The fire caused by the explosion was cut away. The unknown servant had already closed the distance with Caster, and there was only the last one left between them.
Layer boundary.
"I knew you would risk attacking my body."
The caster stretched out his hand, and the previously broken barrier between them changed their appearance, forming a cage to imprison the man in it, like a bug sealed in amber.
"I'll finish you off with this one blow."
He held the dagger in his hand, which was the prototype of the azoth sword, an out-and-out magic sword. He used the magic gift made from the Philosopher's Stone during his lifetime, and the blade was entirely made of refined ultra-high-density [Philosopher's Stone]
Stone] composition.
Caster's sword-holding posture is so unfamiliar. Needless to say, compared with the heroic spirits who are good at swordsmanship, even trained mortals are stronger than him, but there is an aura of danger that cannot be expressed in words.
The azoth sword has never been used for close combat. Its original effect is to amplify, assist, and strengthen magic. It uses the powerful magic power of the sword to instantly complete the construction of spells.
The magic sword exudes a faint brilliance, and the crystals of the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind rise slowly, and the violent magic power is concentrated on the sword body, aiming at the bound unknown servant.
"——The magic sword of the elementalist (sword of paracelsus)!"
The magic power was released, and the light of ether pierced the darkness and filled the entire underground passage. Facing such a powerful blow, the nameless servant's expression was still so calm, without any waves.
He stretched out his palm, and seven pieces of protection shaped like petals unfolded in front of him. Each piece was enough to rival an ancient city wall.
The surging etheric light hit the seven-layered ring of Blazing Sky, and soon the first layer of protection was shattered in the stalemate, but the etheric light itself was also weakened by two percent, and four more layers were shattered one after another.
Defense, all the etheric light is consumed.
"How can it be?"
Caster looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but widen his eyes. His Noble Phantasm was blocked so easily. The nameless servant in front of him seemed to be a little too powerful.
"i am the bone of my sword. (I am the bone of the sword I hold)
The body is made of swords.
steel is my body, and fire is my blood. (Steel is the body and fire is the blood)
The blood tide is as iron as the heart as glass. (The blood tide is as iron as the heart as glass)"
At the same time, the nameless servant recited the incantation. He did not know his real name. He only knew that his mission was to destroy the Holy Grail in the cave behind Caster and prevent the beast inside from being born.
But he wasn't sure how to deal with the mysterious young man named Mikael, so he could only break in while he was fighting with Rider.
"I have created over a thousand and blades. (There are more than a thousand hand-made swords)
A few battles are fought without defeat.
“unknown to death.(Unknown to death.)
ただのOnce defeated, はなく.(Never retreated once)
nor known to life.(Nor known to life.)
ただのOnce もUnderstand されない. (I have never found a confidant)"
He had to admit that the caster in front of him, Paracelsus, was very strong, but his own resistance to magic was very weak, with only a D level, but it was just enough to invalidate engineering magic, and only the magic-dispelling amulet could be used.
degree.
Even a slightly stronger magician can easily break through this level of magic, let alone a caster who can manipulate the five elements.
If you continue to delay, your mission will definitely fail.
“have withstood pain to create many weapons.
The one who always stands on the top of the sword hill is always intoxicated with victory.
yet, those hands will never hold anything.(However, all that is left is nothingness.
Therefore, life means nothing. (Therefore, this life is meaningless)”
Therefore, he needs a trump card that can determine victory or defeat, and can quickly eliminate the caster in front of him.
"so as i pray, unlimited blade works. (So as I pray, "Unlimited Blade Works")
その体は, きっと剣で出ていた. (Then this body is destined to be born with a sword).”
As the spell ended, the invisible realm opened up, covering him and Caster.
………
The sky in front of him was dim and bloody, almost as if it was on fire. Gears of different sizes were suspended in the air and slowly rotating. Hundreds of long swords of various forms were inserted into the dry land. Caster looked at it.
Looking at everything in front of me, I couldn't help but feel slightly lost in thought.
"It's actually [Inherent Barrier]?!"
This is already the second inherent barrier Caster has seen besides Rider's Glory Composite Temple. As the magic closest to magic, it was initially only in the hands of elves and demons. Over time, it was
Some advanced casters will make it possible to create [Inherent Barrier].
But there are still very few beings who can accomplish this magic. I didn't expect that in this Holy Grail War, two heroic spirits who use the inherent barrier would appear in one go.
"Looks like I'm about to make my exit here."
Caster raised the magic sword again and calmly accepted the ending he was about to face. As a shameful betrayer, he never expected that he would have a happy ending.
However, he did not wait for death, but decided to burst out with the final glory.
"——The magic sword of the elementalist (sword of paracelsus)!"
The second time the Noble Phantasm was used, the surging etheric light almost cut through the entire inherent barrier, but was immediately overwhelmed by the nearly endless swords, including Caster.
The defensive barrier was broken, his skin was cut open, his body was pierced, his spiritual core collapsed, and bright blood-colored flowers bloomed, blooming wantonly. The flesh and blood transformed by the ether disappeared, and in the end, only the white bones remained, which collapsed
Crush and turn into dust, all this happens in just one second.
As a result, the heroic spirit of art completely disappeared from the ground, leaving not even a single fragment behind.
