The Servant's superhuman physical fitness, combined with his own Noble Phantasm, is the prerequisite for completing this step.
"This bullet is a bit unusual... Is this a modern Assassin's attack?"
Lancer was a little unprepared. The knowledge of modern weapons existed in his mind, but he had never been hostile to modern weapons.
From the current Servant?
"It's really surprising!"
Lancer pulled away, he already knew how the Matou family was destroyed. With the strength of modern weapons, it is not uncommon to be able to destroy a house.
With the cover of the jungle, he prepared to escape directly.
"Is Mr. Lancer planning to escape?"
"Master just asked me to test you, not to die. Now that I have the information, I'll see you later, Assassin."
"That won't work. The Master hasn't given me the order to end the operation yet."
The chase scene begins.
When the two Servants began to chase him in the woods, Li Mo stood up and packed up all his things.
"Sure enough, Kotomine Kirei's instructions to Cu Chulainn were to test him first?
It’s time to fill the other gap in the other direction.”
Li Mo stood up.
He only brought Assassin as his Servant, but it didn't matter, he could fight the Servant himself. Even Cu Chulainn's Noble Phantasm, he found a way to break it.
Chapter 176: Pursuit, Interception
Lancer--Cuchulainn is in a state of disarray now.
Because the woman who is chasing him is troublesome.
Assassin, real name unknown. But even if he knew the real name, Cu Chulainn would not know who the other party was. Because the other party was not a great hero in ancient times, but a Servant born in modern times.
It might even come from the future.
He had never heard of the name of NFF service. Come to think of it, even if a Servant would be instilled with normal knowledge, it did not mean that they would necessarily know certain modern companies.
If we really want to instill all that, then the amount of information would be too much.
Bullets left traces on the trees and the ground. The sound of gunfire was particularly obvious here. If it weren't for the fact that this place was deserted, someone might have discovered it.
It was daytime now, and normally, a battle would not start at this time. Even if the Servants met each other, both sides would tacitly avoid each other and avoid conflicts.
"Hiddenness" is the principle of magicians. For this reason, most conflicts in the Holy Grail War take place at night.
But the commonly accepted rules often cannot last a lifetime.
The signed agreement can also be used to cover up one's mistakes, it is a tacit agreement between the two sides... then isn't it normal to violate it?
For example, now.
"Assassin, aren't you and your Master worried about being discovered?"
"It's okay, it's just gunshots. At worst we can just say it's a gang fight where a deal went wrong."
Koyanskaya's voice came from all directions, and Cuchulainn could not tell where she was, but he could always find and resist the attacking bullets at the first time.
This situation lasted for quite a while. In the dense woods, all Cu Chulainn could see was the afterimage left by Assassin and the barrage of fire that was coming at him.
"That's a bit weird. Where are you trying to drive me to? Let me think..."
The map of Fuyuki City appeared in Cu Chulainn's mind. In the few days since he came to Fuyuki City, Cu Chulainn had already walked around the entire city. He had seen everything from Shinto to Miyama Town.
The chase took place in the old city, and the church's auditorium was on a hillside southeast of the new city. It was separated from Miyama-cho, which was the old city, by a river called the Mion River.
In fact, this place is still a mountain town away from the Miyuan River. Now he is still being forced to stay away from the city.
Cu Chulainn knew why Assassin's Master chose to fish in such a remote place. He was not fishing for fish, but for himself!
"Tsk, if I had known, I would have completed the test mission the day before yesterday. Master is too troublesome. In this case, I don't care so much."
The "hidden" principle restricted Cu Chulainn from entering the city at the first opportunity, in order to avoid the appearance of bystanders. For example, the boy he met at school a few days ago was fine alone, as he was just a single witness, so he acted decisively. But what if the number of witnesses increased, from one to two digits, or even three digits?
Killing them again would turn it into a massacre, and Cuchulainn was not willing to do that.
But... knowing that my thoughts were being used, and that I was about to fall into the opponent's trap, would I just die if I didn't make any adjustments?
Cu Chulainn changed his direction, which seemed to surprise his pursuers. But his professionalism made them continue to chase him. Soon, they caught up with him again and began to exert pressure from the side.
Are you forcing me back to the original direction? Is there something waiting for me over there? Really, do you think I'm a fool?
Assassin's bullets are different from other firearms. They carry a "mystery". Cu Chulainn cannot tell what kind of mystery it is. He just knows that it is a mystery. If he chooses to become a spirit, then those bullets will directly penetrate his spirit core and send him back to Valhalla.
Although he was somewhat unhappy about obeying his current Master, Cu Chulainn would never betray his Master.
Cu Chulainn kept moving forward in the face of the hail of bullets. Although he was not in the opposite direction of where he was being driven, he was already deviating from the direction.
The distance between them was increasing. Assassin's attacks were getting weaker and weaker, and the density of her bullets was decreasing. It seemed that she was not chasing him, but driving him away.
"really."
Cu Chulainn thought that he had chosen the right path. The closer he got to the city, the more the enemy would restrain themselves. It was daytime now, and magicians had to follow the principle of "hiding".
but……
Is it really that easy?
Cu Chulainn felt uneasy about his warrior's instincts.
Being in the dense forest on top of a mountain, the warrior from Northern Ireland judged that his current location was to the west of Miyama Town. If there was any building nearby, it would be Ryudo Temple on Mount Enzo.
I stepped into the area of Yuanzang Mountain.
“You can’t take the main road.”
In the deep woods, Cu Chulainn judged that Assassin wanted to force him to go to the Enzo Mountain area. From Kotomine Kirei, he knew that there was a spiritual vein in Enzo Mountain that no one used.
A magician builds a magic workshop based on spiritual veins. If the magic workshop is sophisticated enough, it can fight against a Servant in a short time. Of course, it is not impossible to use a large-scale treasure to directly destroy a magic workshop like Assassin.
Cu Chulainn did not have that kind of means. He was good at one-on-one confrontations. With his martial arts and his treasure, it was easy for him to kill a single target.
It's not that I don't have range attacks, but I'm not very skilled at it, and it's easy to make mistakes when using the treasure. It's not a one-time solution.
Of course, it's a different story with the Caster job.
Since we know where the other party has set the trap, we should just stay away from that place. No matter what kind of trap it is, as long as we don't step on it, it won't have any effect.
"who!"
Suddenly, Cu Chulainn heard a sound. At this time, the attack from Assassin had gradually disappeared, and he could already see the eaves in the distance. The woods were very quiet, and fallen leaves were piled on the ground.
In such an environment, actions inevitably make noise.
"Goyanskaya-san, come on, even though I'm here, you should at least catch up."
"Assassin's Master?" Cu Chulainn saw the other person clearly. It was the man who was fishing before.
Cu Chulainn was very impressed by Assassin's Master. On the night when the Matou family was destroyed, he saw that his speed could keep up with that of a Servant.
At this moment, the other party was holding a knife in his hand.
Japanese sword.
"You want to stop me?"
"Yes, they should be here soon. So, Cuchulainn, can you stay here with me for a while?"
Holding the Ame-no-Kage katana, he gathered his magic power on his body. The three physical attributes broke through the limits of his body and went out into the inhuman realm.
There was only one situation that would have prevented Gao Yanskaya from continuing the pursuit, and that was that Medea had already come out.
Next, just delay for a moment.
Li Mo felt his heart beating and began to practice breathing techniques with a little awkwardness.
Chapter 177: Wan Fu will break the rules
"Boy, are you a modern swordsman? At another time, I would be willing to fight you, but not now," Cu Chulainn said sincerely.
He had never noticed it before, but when the other party held the knife with both hands, he could feel the momentum. This statement was very mysterious, but that was what his intuition told him.
The opponent is not weak in hand-to-hand combat.
"I'm going to do my best, kid."
Cu Chulainn didn't know when Assassin would catch up, so he needed to end the battle quickly.
The sword and the spear collided, and in an instant, the spear and the sword had already collided several rounds.
Strength, skill, speed.
The other party is not weaker than himself.
If they continue to fight like this, there's no telling how long it will last. Then they'll be attacked by Assassin.
The assassins in the open are not scary, what is scary is the assassins in hiding.
It is easy to dodge an open spear but hard to guard against a hidden arrow.
With the idea of a quick victory, Cu Chulainn made a decision.
"In that case, I will accept your heart."
After a brief gap, Cu Chulainn began to chant, and his magic power gathered on the scarlet spear.
This is the prerequisite for the activation of the treasure. Li Mo clearly felt this.
But he did not make any move. Instead, he held the Ame-no-kage katana in his hand and stepped forward. His eyes showed an incomparable indifference. He seemed to not care about the impending crisis.
eccentric--!
But Cuchulainn didn't think that much.
""The Spear of Deathly Thorns""
The voice of "Gáe Bolg" came from the mouth of the Child of Light in Ireland.
The bright red spear locked onto the opponent.
