Standing on the top of the skyscraper, Archer drew the longbow in his hand and took a symbolic aim.
Then--
Following his master's order, he let go of his hand.
Buzz——
Buzz buzz——————
call out----
The fired arrow reached its maximum speed in an instant and rushed towards the target location.
...
"this......"
Liudong Yisheng was a little dumbfounded when he saw the dazzling light emitting from the long sword in Annuo's hand.
What's going on with that light...?
If the servants are all figures in history... this one should be a knight from Europe or something like that?
Annuo exhaled a breath, and then——
Step forward.
Then he pulled the sword back and slashed diagonally——
Buzz——
The silvery-white light struck at the Shuten boy standing opposite.
"Ah la ah la..."
He lowered his body and quickly avoided the light from Annuo's slash. Shuten Doji had a drop of cold sweat on his face, but the smile on his face remained the same.
"This is really... terrible magic."
Annuo's eyes widened in anger, leaving no gap in the attack, he stepped forward and slashed Shuten Doji's head with the holy sword.
Shuten Doji bit his lip and fought back to avoid it. However, he only used his big sword to block Annuo's two or three attacks. He felt pain in the tiger's mouth and felt like he could not hold the weapon safely.
Feel.
"What--"
Although Shuten looks short and thin, as a ghost king, her power is definitely to a level that is unimaginable to ordinary people and can be called a monster. But now - in such a simple confrontation, she is about to be beaten.
Flying weapons?
"——Get away!!!"
The smell of alcohol mixed with magic power created an effect similar to that of an explosion. He quickly waved the big sword in his hand, briefly forcing Anno back for a moment. Shuten Doji seized the opportunity to distance himself slightly, but——
It's no use at all.
Annuo slashed at him with his sword, but was forced away by Shuten Doji, seemingly exposing his back, but he bumped into him and hit Shuten Doji's abdomen with his elbow.
"Pfft——"
The wine he drank in his stomach before the beating spurted out. Shuten Doji rolled around on the ground a few times, showing a somewhat painful expression.
Annuo, on the other hand, raised the holy sword above his head, and the light of the holy sword became more and more dazzling——
Although it does not mean that the Noble Phantasm has been released, if it is such a level of magic power output...!
My own alcohol smell has no effect at all. The other party's white armor can resist my own alcohol smell, so if I want to survive now, the only way is——
Wow——
Drinks, appeared.
A wine bowl appeared in Shuten Doji's hand.
The wine bowl tipped over, and the corrosive poisonous wine rushed towards Annuo like a torrent.
But Annuo had no intention of retreating or defending, but simply swung the holy sword.
"Uh-ah-ah-"
Shuten Doji was blown away, but maybe because of the drink... he was only blown away.
All in all, I am alive now... Although it is a bit embarrassing, at least...
Um?
Just after he got up from the ground, Shuten Doji felt something approaching quickly.
She subconsciously turned her head and looked in the direction where the feeling came from.
Then--
boom!!!
The arrow hit Shuten Doji right in the face.
Then, it exploded directly.
Together with Shuten Doji's head.
Shuten Doji's headless body was blown away together and lay on the ground motionless.
Annuo seemed to have anticipated what was happening in front of him. He took a breath and the light of the holy sword dissipated. He looked back at Shirou Emiya and Kazunari Yanagou who was sitting on the ground.
Shirou Emiya just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but what he saw in the next second made his eyes shrink.
"Saber——the other party is not dead yet!"
The body of Shuten Doji sat up again, and the head that was blown apart by the arrow had recovered to its original state at some point——
Annuo didn't get cold, turned around and prepared to fight again, but Shuten Doji had... disappeared.
Only one sentence was left, which still echoed in the woods.
"Issei, remember...go home."
There seemed to be a hint of sullenness in his tone, which made Issei Liu Dong's body tremble.
Annuo looked at the empty space in front of him and squinted his eyes.
...
"Emiya..."
Sitting in the church, Liudong Yisheng was in a very bad mood.
Knowing that a war "for self-interest" like the Holy Grail War does exist, knowing that my friend is the Master, and the most important thing is...
The woman who called herself Shuten Doji is not dead.
The opponent's head was blasted by arrows that came from nowhere, but he didn't know what means he used to save his life, leaving a threat and left.
That is undoubtedly a threat.
"I have to go back now... If I don't go back, that guy will definitely kill the people in the temple...!"
Liudong Yisheng looked restless.
"I have entrusted my companions to monitor and protect Liudong Temple. There is no need to worry too much about the last son of Liudong Temple."
Kotomine Kirei stood in the middle of the church with his hands behind his back, looking at Yanagiri Kazunari and said.
After learning the result of the battle, he immediately informed Bazett's side and asked Bazett to rush towards Liudong Temple as quickly as possible, at least to protect Liudong Temple from ordinary people.
Of course, if there is a chance, it would be a better situation to directly let Lancer kill Assassin who escaped from Saber and Archer.
"...Should I say thank you, Father Kotomine?"
Liu Dongyi Cheng covered his head, feeling a little ridiculous.
There was also Ayako Mizuchi who had fainted over there and still hadn't woken up.
Looking around, they are all acquaintances, even guys who can be called by their names in school.
Rin Tosaka, the flower of the Tosaka family, Shirou Emiya, the biggest good guy in the school, Shinji Matou, the noble son who never pays attention to strangers, and Sakura Matou, the most approachable beautiful girl.
So, these guys are the magicians who participated in this so-called "fighting"?
After taking two deep breaths of air, Liu Dong Yicheng gritted his teeth.
He doesn't know how to evaluate it...
Should I say that this so-called Holy Grail War is too childish, or should I say that my classmates hide it too deeply...
"It doesn't matter whether you thank me or not. Although you are an ordinary person, it seems that there are some things that I can't hide from you."
"First of all, as a neutral supervisor, I apologize for your being involved in this Holy Grail War, but related compensation matters... I hope you can wait for a while until everything settles.
Let’s discuss it after it’s decided.”
"...Is this a question of compensation?"
Liudong Yichen stood up.
“Father Kotomine—is this a matter of compensation?”
There was a bit of irritability and depression in his tone.
