What's the best way to improve a team's combat effectiveness?
The answer is to improve those who are below average.
In other words, make up for shortcomings.
Allowing those who were originally lagging behind to reach normal levels can greatly reduce the pressure on those who excel.
In this team, the weakest ones are Yagi Sekssai and Mashu, there is no doubt about this. Even Martha, at least as a servant, is stronger than these two in terms of knowledge and ability.
These two people cannot even achieve the liberation of the Noble Phantasm.
That's what Arash suggested.
At least, Mash must be able to successfully liberate the Noble Phantasm, so that he can win.
Although this is a bit preconceived, seeing that Mashu is holding such a large shield, it is very likely that the Noble Phantasm is for defense. The most lacking thing in this team now is defense.
The goals of the enemy and ourselves are different. If Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others want to obtain the Holy Grail, they must kill Saber, who holds the Holy Grail and provides unlimited demons. But if Saber wants to win, it only needs to target the most vulnerable Master.
If there is no defensive Noble Phantasm, and at the end, Saber attacks the Master with all her strength, then everything will be over.
The same goes for Yagi Sekssai.
It is not difficult to see that the servant he fused with is Saber. Saber has always been called the best servant among the Three Knights. The characteristic is that the servants of this profession often have balanced attributes and excellent performance.
Tool.
Although Arash couldn't see clearly his transparent sword that was blown by the strong wind, this special weapon gave him a familiar feeling.
This is not the first time that Arash has been summoned in the Holy Grail War. This ambiguous memory is probably the feeling of fighting the owner of this sword before.
In short, that sword gave Arash a very powerful feeling, but...correspondingly, it also had a very troublesome feeling. I am afraid that it is not a Noble Phantasm that can be released with just special training.
It's probably the kind of Noble Phantasm that accepts layers of constraints, and its power can only be truly released if the user himself meets certain conditions. This condition is difficult to see through.
As long as Mashu can successfully liberate the Noble Phantasm, then the final preparations will be complete.
Of course, it would be best if Yagi Xuesai can successfully liberate the Noble Phantasm. If not, then there is no way to force it. After all, everyone does not have much time.
It was also because of this that Diarmuid did not take the time to escape with the two of them for the first time, but immediately started training the two of them.
Diarmuid knew very well that he did not have much time left. A broken arm was already a fatal injury to a servant who had lost his master. The irreplaceable magic power would eventually allow the heroic spirit to return to the Hall of Valor.
Now, Arash wants to do the same thing.
However, what Diarmuid taught them was the basic fighting principles, and Arash's goal was to at least allow Mashu to successfully liberate the Noble Phantasm.
"Ma Xiu, your Noble Phantasm should become an excellent shield. That is very important."
Arash said with certainty.
"But, but, I don't know who the servant who merged with me is, the one who can't be liberated, the Noble Phantasm or something..."
Matthew shook his head timidly.
As the leader of Group A, she knows her followers very well.
The Servant has a trump card called a Noble Phantasm, which, to explain in the game, is a super special move.
However, just as you need to know how to press the buttons for super special moves, if you want to release the Noble Phantasm, you also need to know the true name of the Noble Phantasm.
A Noble Phantasm is the culmination of a servant's life's mysteries. It may be a weapon, a mount, or even a life story. If you don't know its true name, you cannot release it.
Mashu didn't know who he had merged with. Naturally, he couldn't understand the true name and noble phantom of the servant. The only thing he could know was that he sacrificed his own existence, merged with himself, and saved the dying Mashu.
It would be too difficult for Mashu to release the Noble Phantasm now...
"Well, Mashu, you seem to have a bit of a misunderstanding. The Noble Phantasm of Servant Liberation, yes."
Arash smiled.
"If the Servant must know the true name in order to release the Noble Phantasm, then wouldn't the irrational Berserker be unable to release the Noble Phantasm? Liberating the true name is just a matter of using the Noble Phantasm. What really allows you to release the Noble Phantasm is
Your idea of [wanting to use a Noble Phantasm], well, it’s quite awkward to say that, so why not give it a try?”
With a cheerful smile, Arash bent down and grabbed a handful of gravel. Then, a faint blue light appeared in his palm, and he saw that the gravel quickly turned into long arrows at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It is Arash's skill [Arrow Making]. As long as you have materials in hand, you can use magic power to quickly make them into bows and arrows.
Arash put them on his bow and pointed the arrow tip at Mashu.
"Hey?! This, this is?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka sat on Darius's shoulder, and the situation below was not very clear. It was not until Arash set the arrow that he saw his fighting consciousness.
"Well, it's training after all, so I can't guarantee that I'll be unscathed. Anyway, it's best to try to knock me down with the intention of being shot. Sorry, I'm not a magician after all, and I'm not good at teaching people.
Yes. Ah, but you can definitely use the Noble Phantasm, I can guarantee this."
Arash explained a lot more, with an expression of concern and necessity.
Yagi can quite understand his mood.
Probably, just like the eagle breaking the wings of its young and the lion driving away its underage cubs, they hope to use cruel reality to make them grow up quickly until they become independent creatures.
For the current self and Matthew, gentle education is not appropriate. After all, there will be a war in the next moment. Some methods must be used, even if they are to undermine the situation.
Matthew was not ready yet, his face was full of confusion.
"Then, I can't release the Noble Phantasm, so let me train together, is that okay?"
Yagi Xuezai took the initiative to stand next to Mashu.
"Yes, of course. How about Master's side?"
"Um...I, I think...if Mashu can use the Noble Phantasm, he will indeed feel much more at ease."
Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little at a loss and muttered this, but she was also afraid that Mashu would be shot by Arash because of this.
"Senior... I, I understand! Mash Kirilet needs to be trained to use the Noble Phantasm!"
Listening to Mashu's firm tone, Director Olga Marie, who was panicking in the distance, finally showed some calmness and seriousness. She was probably moved by Mashu's awareness.
"Well, then, get ready."
Arash smiled and relaxed his fingers.
jump.
It was a sound that made the eardrums howl.
Obviously he just loosened the bowstring, but the high-speed vibrating string turned the air into high-frequency sound waves and hit him, making his ears whimper.
For such an exaggerated attack, the arrows released are naturally equally exaggerated.
These arrows made of stone hit Mashu's shield without exception. The impact was so strong that Mashu was thrown away!
