Chapter 234 Are you the only one who can shoot swords?
A sudden explosion from behind the temple made Sakura tremble all over, but a mischievous smile appeared on Da Vinci's face.
"It seems that the intruder stepped on the gadget that Assassin asked me to make."
Sakura held a steampunk-style brass "hand cannon" in her hand, and asked Da Vinci doubtfully: "Caster, what is that? Can you kill the enemy?"
Da Vinci explained to Sakura while mobilizing the barrier of Ryudou Temple to defend against Gilgamesh's attack.
"It's a landmine that has been enhanced with magic. If it had been stepped on by an ordinary human, it would have been blown out of shape. But if it were a magician..."
"Whoa!"
A figure rushed out from behind the temple. The trousers of this person's left leg were obviously damaged. The whole leg looked bloody. His expressionless face was also covered with many wounds from the splattered shrapnel.
It's all bloody.
"Huh~"
During the sprint, Kotomine Kirei used the agent's unique magic to temporarily eliminate the pain.
The injured left foot hit the ground heavily. Kotomine Kirei took a breath and used his feet to explode with force. He rushed in front of Sakura just as she raised the hand cannon.
'Tosaka... no, Matou Sakura, I didn't expect that she is still alive and has become Caster's master. No wonder she will form an alliance with Rin's Assassin.'
The thoughts in his mind flashed away. Kirei would not show mercy just because the enemy was an acquaintance. He hit Sakura's head with a fierce Bajiquan punch.
If this punch hits, Sakura's young head will probably explode like a watermelon.
Thinking of that picture, Kotomine Kirei's heart began to beat violently, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised a twisted angle.
"Master, it's now!"
Under the command of Leonardo da Vinci, Sakura bravely withstood the pressure and poured magic into the hand cannon she held tightly in her hands, activating the magic gift before Kirei Kotomine's attack hit her.
"Bang!"
The suction port on the long brass tube sucked out a large amount of nearby air, and highly compressed airflow was ejected from the barrel. Kirei, who was caught off guard, was directly hit by the high-pressure air cannon.
At the critical moment, he reluctantly raised his defensive left hand to block it in front of him.
"Kacha!"
There was a crisp sound of bone cracking, and the exploding air cannon pushed Kirei backwards.
Although Kirei, who was in mid-air, tried to control his landing posture, his completely drooped left hand showed his poor state at this time.
"Bi~idiotic~"
Da Vinci mocked in amusement: "Kotomine Kirei, do you think we won't do any protection for the Master?"
Kotomine Kirei's emotional fluctuations are very weak, and being ridiculed by Da Vinci did not cause any emotional fluctuations in him.
Kirei Kotomine, who was shielding from pain, regretted not being able to blow Sakura's head. The sneak attack failed. It would be difficult to kill the Master directly under the protection of Da Vinci. Kirei, a rationalist, immediately changed.
ideas.
"Bang!"
The second air cannon fired by Sakura failed to hit the target. Kirei had already activated it first, changed direction and rushed towards the main hall.
The pain shielding spell also has its limits. During the intense exercise, Kirei could feel the pain in his left hand and left leg returning.
"Da~"
As expected by Kirei, there were indeed more magic mines in front of the temple.
Kirei was prepared in advance and used small stones thrown to trigger these mines. He jumped over the mine array and stepped on the stairs in front of the temple with his right foot.
Feeling a sudden stabbing threat all over his body, Kirei twisted his body in a weird posture, forcibly stopped his rapid running, and immediately turned around and evacuated, regardless of the huge impact on his legs.
"Dong dong dong!"
Large metal projectiles were shot from near the temple gate and hit the wooden floor of the main hall of Liudong Temple, making a dull sound.
Kirei was becoming more and more pessimistic about this infiltration operation. Such strict protection showed that the other party had been prepared for a long time, guessing that someone might take the opportunity to sneak into Liudong Temple and steal chickens.
'Why is this happening? Magicians generally only consider the battle command between heroic spirits and each other's magic battles, and rarely fall directly into the opponent's magic workshop. Could someone predict my action pattern in advance?'
…
For Lu Xiao, who has the "clairvoyance" plug-in, Kotomine Kirei's problem is not a problem at all.
Even if you didn't know much about his personality and style in advance, Einzbern's failed invasion alone should have made you wary of this false priest.
"Ding~dang!"
At the foot of the mountain on the other side of Yuanzang Mountain far away from Liudong Temple, the battle between Lu Xiao and Artoria is still going on.
This place is far away from nearby residential areas, and both sides can fight freely.
"ha!"
Under the urging of Arturia, Dong Stallion accelerated steplessly in a short distance, violating common sense of physics, and rushed in front of Lu Xiao in the blink of an eye. The tip of the spear shimmering with cold light was wrapped with strong force.
Thrust out.
First, he used his left arm armor to block the sniper arrows fired by the pursuing Red A. Lu Xiao, holding a knife in one hand, was unable to fight Arturia head-on. He chose to dodge sideways, and at the same time made a horizontal one-handed slash.
Slash the two front legs of the war horse.
"唏伦~"
Dong Stallion's movements were very flexible. When the attack came, it immediately raised its front legs with a roar, then used its hind legs to change direction and suddenly kicked towards Lu Xiao who was in mid-air.
At the same time, Arturia, who cooperated well with the war horses, also followed the trend and swiped his spear in pursuit.
Facing a desperate situation, Lu Xiao did not panic and acted randomly. He first calmly blocked the Immortal Slash in front of him, and then blocked two horse hoof kicks.
When Arturia's spear swept over, Lu Xiao relied on the reaction force of the horse's pedaling to tilt his head back, just in time for the spear to pass in front of him.
Lu Xiao, who leaned back, did somersaults backwards several times. After losing all his strength and regaining his balance, Lu Xiao was still a little frightened.
'Sure enough, one against two is too disadvantageous, especially for Red A who is hiding in the distance and looking for the right time to strike. We must find a way to silence him.'
Kuon Maiya is no longer able to function in such a dense forest. Lu Xiao speculates that she will try to use explosives to blow away the defense of Tohsaka House, capture Rin as a threat, and force Lu Xiao to return Irisviel.
'Arrow? Sword!'
Lu Xiao was inspired by Red A's usual fighting method. He used the cover of the woods to temporarily avoid Arturia's pursuit. Lu Xiao relied on the direction of the previous sniper arrow and captured Red A's body with the penetrating vision of Eagle Vision.
Location.
'Found you.'
"Click!"
Stretching out the multifunctional long bow, Lu Xiao pulled out the Sword of Damocles from his waist and placed the shining golden sword on the magic bowstring.
"Hang it high, dionysius!"
"Whoosh!"
While liberating the true name of the Noble Phantasm, Lu Xiao shot the long sword in the general direction of the red a.
There is no need to be very precise. The rapidly flying Sword of Damocles will automatically find the location of the red a under the effect of the law of cause and effect.
"What?!"
Hong A, who was standing far away on the branch, obviously didn't expect that the other party would fight back in this way.
When the Sword of Damocles turned into golden light and flew towards him, he only had time to take out the seven-layered ring of blazing sky that had the last layer of shield left.
"Click!"
The B-level Noble Phantasm of True Name Liberation was only blocked for a moment, and it penetrated Red A's last defense in the blink of an eye.
If Red A hadn't narrowly avoided the key point of the spiritual core under the influence of his inner eye, he would have returned to the Heroic Soul Seat like Saint Martha at this time.
"cough!"
Even though the spiritual core was not pierced from the front, the Sword of Damocles inserted into the middle of Red A's left chest still scraped the edge of the spiritual core, causing huge damage to him.
At least it is unlikely that Red A will be able to recover from his injuries and continue to support Arturia in a short period of time.
"Next."
Lu Xiao turned to look at the King of Knights who was reunited.
"King of Britain with the heart of a red dragon, let me see if you can maintain a strong defense under the dragon-slaying weapon."
