Chapter 18: The Powerful Rin and the Twisted Battle Situation
In the destroyed cemetery that could no longer be called a cemetery, Illya and Saber faced each other quietly at a distance.
"saber!"
At this time, Emiya Shirou's voice came from the side. Because they could not keep up with the speed of the heroic spirit, Emiya Shirou and Tohsaka Rin had only arrived at the cemetery now.
After Saber glanced at Shirou Emiya, she immediately focused her gaze on Illya again. If she was distracted in a battle of this level, it would have fatal consequences.
"You, were you merciful just now?"
Saber looked at Illya and suddenly said this.
Illya did not speak, but casually waved the giant sword in her hand.
"snort!"
Saber snorted coldly. Although Illya did not answer her question, Saber's keen eyes saw clearly the smile revealed in the light blue eyes behind the white and silver visor.
"Although I am very grateful for your approach..."
Saber's eyes narrowed, and anger radiated from her body.
"But my dignity as a warrior cannot allow this to happen to me! Use your full strength below!"
"Hey?! What's going on?!"
Tohsaka Rin was a little confused about the current situation.
"That is to say, in the battle before we came, Berserker seemed to be merciful to Saber."
Emiya Shirou answered this question according to his own understanding.
"What?! Will Berserker be merciful? Did I hear wrongly, or is Saber stupid?!"
After listening to Emiya Shirou's explanation, Tohsaka Rin's thoughts became even more confused.
"What's wrong? Isn't it a good thing for berserker to show mercy?"
Emiya Shirou didn't understand what was wrong with this.
"What do you, a layman, know?! As a Berserker Servant, he cannot think for himself and can only rely on the Master's orders to act. In battle, he only knows how to attack crazily. How can he be merciful?!
"
Tosaka Rin pointed at Emiya Shirou's nose and said loudly, almost jumping up and kicking Emiya Shirou's elm head.
"Oh. That means it was Berserker's master, that little girl named Illyasviel, who ordered Berserker to show mercy?"
Emiya Shirou came up with another answer based on Tohsaka Rin's explanation.
"How is that possible?! Didn't you hear what order she gave before? Kill them all, kill them all! How can a person who gives such an order ask Berserker to show mercy?"
Tohsaka Rin rejected Emiya Shirou's answer again.
"So what's the situation now? According to what Saber said, Berserker is indeed merciful!"
Emiya Shirou simply left all the problems to Tohsaka Rin to think about on his own. Anyway, no matter what he said, Tosaka Rin would veto him in the end. Why would he open his mouth like this? Looking for scolding?!
"Uh... never mind! Anyway, the task now is to defeat Berserker. Otherwise, with her here, it will be too difficult to win this Holy Grail War! Do you understand?!"
"oh."
Faced with Tosaka Rin who was pressing hard towards him, Emiya Shirou felt that he could not resist, so he could only weakly agree.
Illya, who was confronting Saber, devoted half of her energy to listening to this "couple's farce". After seeing Emiya Shirou being forcefully suppressed by Tohsaka Rin, she sighed silently.
'Oh... Shirou. Can't you be tougher in front of Rin? You were suppressed so easily. It seems that you will be eaten to death by Rin in the future.'
Thinking of this, Illya's eyes moved slightly, she glanced at Tohsaka Rin, and then looked at Saber.
‘I really don’t understand why in the good-end of the UBW line, such a strong Rin would let Saber stay with Shirou and give half of Shirou to Saber?’
At this time, Illya felt that the magic power on Saber began to stir.
‘Well? Are you impatient with waiting? Well, I don’t want to, let’s end this battle first!’
Illya let go of the giant cross sword in her right hand, and when the giant sword fell, she grabbed the chain connected to the hilt.
Seeing this, Saber immediately suppressed the turbulent magic power in her body and concentrated on guarding against Illya's upcoming attack.
The storm started with Illya as the center. She pulled the chain and rotated the giant cross sword above her head. The giant sword continued to accelerate, and finally only left a phantom in everyone's retinas.
Illya looked up, and when she felt that it was almost done, she pulled the chain hard. The cross sword was thrown towards Saber with a string of phantoms, like a meteor hammer.
"boom!!!"
After a loud noise, the earth and rocks where Saber was located flew into the air, and thick dust flew up, completely blocking everyone's sight.
Suddenly, a figure jumped out of the dust. Saber jumped into the air, but she dodged the blow just now.
"ha!!!"
Saber in the sky tightly grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, shouted loudly, and in a downward slashing posture, accelerated with magic power, slashed hard towards Ilia below.
"clang!!!"
The sound of weapons clashing sounded again, and Illya used the giant sword in her left hand to resist Saber's slashing blade. Saber continued to explode with magic power and pressed down on the "invisible sword", while Illya
Holding the hilt of the sword that was constantly shaking in their hands firmly, the two of them started to argue up and down.
At this time, Illya's eyes suddenly flashed with cunning fluctuations again, and her right hand holding the chain suddenly pulled back.
"Saber! Be careful!!!"
Of course, Emiya Shirou's anxious shouts came again as promised.
Saber, who was in mid-air and had no point of strength, could only use the strength of her waist and abdomen to turn sideways. A giant cross sword flying from behind Saber just brushed against her shoulder, and she dodged it by a hair's breadth.
Pass.
However, Illya's actions were not over yet. She took advantage of the opportunity of Saber turning sideways to move the cross sword that was holding Saber in her left hand back, and then suddenly tilted towards the ground. At this point, Saber's body involuntarily
was carried by the "Invisible Sword", and rushed towards the ground with the tilted blade of the cross sword.
Just as Saber's body slipped, Illya raised her foot and turned sideways, suddenly kicking forward. At the same time, Saber just slipped to this height. So, the little foot wrapped in silver armor kicked accurately.
Saber's breastplate was removed. Saber, unable to move, could only watch as the soles of the silver armor were imprinted on her breastplate.
"Bang!"
The moment it came into contact with Saber's breastplate, a terrifying force burst out from Illya's feet. Saber was kicked away like a rag. Saber drew a large object and fell down on her back.
Before hitting the ground, Saber flipped her body and landed. Then, she hit a huge stone monument and stopped. Immediately, a large amount of smoke and dust flew up, surrounding the huge stone monument, and covering Saber together.
"Saber!!!"
Emiya Shirou and Tohsaka Rin were both shocked. They never expected that the battle situation would turn into this.
