Chapter 5, the knight in flames

Yagi Yusei slowly arrived at the door of the Chaldea Control Room, taking a deep breath and filling in his mind the possible angry expression of Director Olga Marie... mentally preparing himself to be scolded.

Be prepared to smile no matter what.

Then, he walked over and prepared to use his ID card to open the electronic door...

Boom!

The too violent sound took away his hearing in an instant.

The changes were too rapid, leaving him unable to react.

It is said that the most powerful executioner can make a condemned prisoner not notice the fact that he is dead even after his head is cut off.

Yagi Xuezai experienced this kind of thing personally for the first time.

It wasn't until three seconds later that he somewhat understood what had happened.

The door in front of him was directly torn to pieces by some powerful force, as if it had been chopped into pieces by an invisible beast. The metal door was twisted and left behind.

Yagi Xuezai tried to move, but only then did he realize that his body seemed to be bleeding.

The pain was too severe and too fast, and before he could react, a large piece of his abdomen was cut off. He subconsciously pressed his hand on the wound, and the gush of blood instantly thickened his palm.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

The nerves that were shocked by the impact finally recovered their function, but the first thing that the recovered nerves did was to spread the pain from the whole body to the brain.

The pain of being burned.

The pain of being torn apart.

Worry about one's own destiny.

Fear of unknown events.

Everything comes to mind as the nerves recover.

Holding back the severe pain, he reluctantly cast the healing magic on himself.

He was in so much pain that he couldn't think, so he could only use a short section of quick-acting healing magic. Of course, the effect was not very good. It could only provide the most basic analgesic effect, paralyzing the nerves so that his spirit would not collapse before his body.

.

"What...situation..."

What was before him was a scene that was like entering a state of death.

The originally blue-black space of the control room is now dyed red with fiery red, bright red, flame red, siren red, all kinds of red intertwined, and sharp explosions echo continuously, making people's eardrums shake.

Broken.

The blazing flames enveloped the neatly arranged spirit transfer devices in the control room, with collapsed ceilings, burning walls, and the suffocating smell of blood.

What the hell happened?

He couldn't understand the current scene, so he could only stagger in numbly, dragging his body that was cut by the explosion fragments.

Want to find...survivors.

Anyone who wants to find someone who is still alive is welcome.

In fact, there is no need to look for it.

In the midst of the raging fire, there was a figure that looked out of place.

That was the woman named Catherine who had been following Professor Leif.

Her black gauze dress looked particularly abrupt in the swaying red flames.

The flames licked her clothes, but instead of igniting the fabric, they turned into some dark substance and flowed along the clothes, as if the moisture had been absorbed by a paper towel.

"Ouch, Yagi-kun... didn't I tell you to come here as soon as possible? No matter how you or Roman are so disobedient - if you come here honestly, you will be like them."

She spoke in a very provocative tone, and her arms shook, as if there was an infinite wind, swirling the surrounding flames, and the swaying firelight dragged her figure in layers.

"Did you... do it?"

Yagi Xuezhai reacted immediately.

After a person loses a lot of blood, he or she will become delirious due to lack of oxygen. Yagi Yukisai's situation is just the opposite. He is now very clear-headed.

This is what is called [reflection].

His life is passing rapidly.

"Uh-huh, it's me."

She shrugged and showed a bright smile.

"But it has nothing to do with you~~ Brother, just die here peacefully. Humanity will perish anyway, so don't hold on. Am I right? - The Holy Sword that chased my seven world lines

Make it happen~"

The woman with black hair and black clothes turned provocatively in a circle, like a dancer, pinching the corners of her skirt, making beautiful arcs with a huff and puff. At the position where she just avoided, with a scraping sound, the floor shattered.

It cracked and bricks flew everywhere.

That is someone who is incompatible with this blazing fire "in another sense".

In a word, it is the knight of blue and silver.

The blue knight costume is wrapped in silver-white armor, and he wears a black and white hood on his head. You can vaguely see the golden hair and emerald eyes like lake water. The corners of his mouth are tight, and the knight's hands are serious.

What kind of weapon is Lixu holding? It seems that he just used this transparent weapon to smash the floor.

"Are you OK!"

The unfamiliar blond knight's tone was a little anxious, his eyes narrowed, he bit his lip, and there was a little regret at the end of the sentence.

Who... is he?

Yagi Xuesai couldn't understand.

There is no such person in Chaldea.

There are no blond visitors scheduled to come here either.

and……

Use a transparent weapon to chop up the floor... After all, the floor here is also a metal plate made of new materials. It can't be chopped up by just anyone...

"Ah...that's it...it's...a Servant..."

Yagi Xuezhai vaguely understood.

A Servant is a special form in which a certain aspect of a Heroic Spirit is fixed in the real world. Depending on the characteristics, there are about seven types: Saber, Archer, Lancer, Caster, Rider, Assassin and Berserker. As mentioned before, Chaldea's

The summoning system is rather special. In fact, there is a caster-class servant in Chaldea now. Thanks to this, Yagi Yusei quickly understood that the man in front of him was a being far beyond human beings.

"Oh, you are worthy of being a Holy Sword user~ He is filled with a sense of justice."

With a seductive and provocative voice, Catherine, the woman in black, shrugged. She had been sucked into her clothes before, and the black flames followed her movements, biting the knight like two giant snakes! The knight was completely unafraid.

, waving the invisible weapon in his hand, cutting off the black fire in mid-air.

He couldn't escape. Once he got out of the way, the innocent person behind him would be burned by black fire.

The knight who had fought against this black woman several times knew the power of this flame best.

"——But, sometimes, problems arise just because the sense of justice is too strong~"

The black woman giggled and clapped her palms twice. It was as if she could see ripples of sound waves blooming in the air.

Neither Yagi Yukisai nor the hooded knight who suddenly appeared could understand what kind of attack this was.

Boom!

Explosion.

This time...very close.

Yagi Xuezhai felt like his ears were going to be completely blown apart.

ah……

No wonder...

He thought so.

When he was in a state of confusion, he vaguely saw his chest that was burnt black by the explosion, and understood.

This is a very sinister plan.

I'm afraid, this woman is good from the beginning and is going to plot against this knight here.

Therefore, after I was injured by the bomb at the door, I had a brief exchange with this woman. It was probably at this time that I was manipulated by her.

She buried a [bomb] in her own wound.

I don’t know exactly what it is or how to activate it, but judging from the effect, let’s call it a bomb.

What she calculated was that after this knight appeared, he would give priority to protecting the people.

Then, she clapped her hands as a signal. No one knew what signal it was, and naturally the knight didn't know either. He just subconsciously turned around and picked up Yagi Yukisai and ran away.

However, he never expected that the enemy would set up a bomb for this innocent person who needed his protection.

This is a sinister trap made using his chivalrous talents.

Although he couldn't see it clearly, Yagi Xuezai had a vague feeling that someone else's blood was flowing down his body.

Ah, so it turns out that servants can bleed too?

Surprisingly, he still cares about such details.

"Hahahahaha, it's so exciting~ Chasing me for so long, it's really hard for you~~ Just hold on to your chivalry and die here~ Lord Holy Sword User. Ahahahahaha."

At the end of Yagi Xuezai's consciousness, there was this woman's sharp laughter.

It seemed that there were other people's footsteps? Maybe they were women's boots? But Yagi Xuezai could no longer hear them clearly.

While he was in a daze, someone seemed to be saying something to him... However, he was so injured that he could no longer hear anything.
