Chapter 1081: Chapter 744 Chaotic Intrusion Chapter 1081: Chapter 744 Chaotic Intrusion “How can this be?!!”
Seeing the scene before his eyes, the LANCER's Master almost jumped up!
In his opinion, his Servant should have an absolute advantage against CASTERS, since LANCER's demon-slaying lance completely countered CASTER. No matter what kind of magic was used, it shouldn't pose a threat to LANCER.
Yet… what in the devil was that?
Looking at the girl standing in front of CASTER, holding a black shield, LANCER's master was dumbfounded. He had also secretly probed this girl before, and at that time, his impression was that she might just be an ordinary magician. So he hadn't taken her too seriously. However, now when he focused his attention on the girl again, he was surprised to discover information similar to that of a Servant emanating from her!
That is to say, was this girl also a Heroic Spirit?
Damn right, she had already used her Noble Phantasm! Of course, she's a Heroic Spirit. How else could she use a Noble Phantasm?
But the problem is, what class does she belong to?
There was already a SABER, LANCER, CASTER, and BER… oh, that last one doesn't count.
Could the girl be a RIDER, ARCHER, or ASSASSIN?
This isn't right, no?
Which RIDER carries a shield? And ARCHER? Is this girl an ARCHER? Is she planning to throw her shield like a weapon?
As for ASSASSIN, that's even less likely… Although just before, he hadn't detected her Servant presence at all, which fits with ASSASSIN's ability to mask their presence.
But… an assassin with a shield?
What kind of strategy was this?
Both Masters were bewildered, and SABER was equally shocked. At the moment LANCER was sent flying, SABER had also caught sight of the shield in Mash's hands, and her expression immediately changed as she widened her eyes.
However, just as she was distracted, Duanmu Huai's attack breached SABER's defenses. With a powerful sweep, the strike headed straight for SABER's chest! And SABER, regaining her senses, hastily raised her Longsword in front of her. In the next moment, she was knocked back like a struck baseball, smashing through three containers and into the ruins of a dilapidated warehouse next to them.
“Boom!”
Following that, the already overwhelmed warehouse suddenly collapsed, burying SABER within it.
“Lies…”
The white-haired girl stood there dumbfounded, unable to utter a word. SABER was supposed to be the strongest of the Servants, yet she had just been utterly defeated by this Master…
However, before the white-haired girl could come to her senses, she suddenly felt a great shadow loom over her. She looked up, only to find the figure of the CASTER's Master, clad in Strange Armor, towering over her.
“By the way, I forgot to ask– are you from the Einzbern family?”
“Eh?”
Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, the white-haired girl trembled slightly, feeling overwhelmed by the intense aura of fear emanating from him. Nonetheless, she clenched her fists, forced herself to stand firmly, and looked at Duanmu Huai, nodding her head.
“Yes, I am Alice Phil Von Einzbern. May I ask, what business do you have with the Einzbern family?”
“Good.”
Hearing the girl's response, Duanmu Huai also sighed with relief and then extended his hand.
“Come with me, I have something to ask you.”
Seeing the hand that was bigger than her own head reaching out to her, Alice Phil also shuddered, bit her teeth hard, forced herself not to collapse to the ground, but just looked at Duanmu Huai in front of her…
“Alice Phil!”
At that moment, perhaps sensing her Master was in danger, SABER suddenly surged forward at top speed towards Duanmu Huai, swinging her sword down at him. She forced Duanmu Huai to step back and placed herself in front of Alice Phil, gripping her Invisible Sword tightly, staring down Duanmu Huai with fierce determination.
“What do you want with Alice Phil?”
“I'm not going to kill her. Move aside, SABER.”
Looking at the SABER blocking his path, Duanmu Huai frowned.
“I just have some questions regarding the Holy Grail…”
However, to Duanmu Huai's surprise, as soon as he mentioned the Holy Grail, Alice Phil seemed to realize something. Her face turned pale, and she immediately stepped back, guarding herself with wary eyes.
Huh?
This reaction…
“Could it be your doing?”
Duanmu Huai stared at Alice Phil, the killing intent in him flaring. Upon reflection, it did indeed make sense. It was SABER who controlled the Holy Grail at Singularity F, so naturally, as her Master, Alice Phil couldn't be completely ignorant. Could it be that the cause of this Singularity was Alice Phil?!
“Be careful, Alice Phil!”
At that moment, SABER once again gripped her Longsword tightly, her expression tense as she watched Duanmu Huai. She could feel the terrifying surge of bloodlust and killing intent from him, a fearsome aura that even made her shudder. Just how many people had this formidable man slain to possess such murderous intent and terrifying presence?
“If that is the case, then I shall just have to kill you and capture her for a thorough interrogation!”
With Duanmu Huai's roar, the Thunder Warhammer was swung at SABER again, this strike alone bearing an aura that chilled one to the bone. Even SABER, facing this attack, was on high alert. She raised her Invisible Sword, and the wild wind exploded from the blade, her surging Magic Power forming the strongest Attack, clashing directly with Duanmu Huai's War Hammer!
“Boom———-!!”
The concrete pier simply collapsed, and a huge volume of seawater blew up from the impact. SABER's figure shot out like a bullet, then heavily landed on the ground–her right hand hanging limply, her left clutching her Longsword, still holding Alice Phil, who was now curled up in SABER's arms, glaring at the massive shadow emerging from the smoke with terror in her eyes.
“Damn it……!”
LANCER also witnessed this scene and didn't know what to do for a moment, possibly due to the chaos on the battlefield that had left even his own Master confused and unsure how to give orders.
It seemed nearly impossible now to defeat CASTER, that mysterious shield maiden was protecting CASTER behind her back and completely denied anyone else the opportunity to engage. Although she didn't seem like someone who would attack, the terrifying hulk who was emanating a murderous aura was obviously a different story, as he had now clearly set his sights on SABER and her party, contemplating a sneaky attack………
What use is a hammer, if it can't even break the armor.
At this moment, LANCER also fell into despair, utterly clueless about what to do.
“Rumble rumble rumble!”
However, just as Duanmu Huai took a step forward to launch an attack, a bolt of thunder suddenly struck down, blocking Duanmu Huai's assault. He then looked up to see a battle chariot drawn by two oxen descending from the sky, heading straight for him.
“ALALALALALALALA!!”
The ox cart fell from the sky like a missile, grazing past SABER, and then slamming directly into Duanmu Huai, who neither dodged nor flinched, roaring as he raised his War Hammer to smash down on the approaching ox cart!
“Bang!!!!!!”
The Thunder Warhammer smashed the heads of the oxen to pieces, and the whole chariot smashed towards Duanmu Huai, who didn't even take a step back. With his left fist clenched, he swung forward and reduced the ox cart to shreds. Then, Duanmu Huai saw that next to SABER, there was an imposing redhead with a massive build, and by his side stood a skinny young man.
“Ah, that was my favorite chariot.”
The redhead sighed helplessly looking at Duanmu Huai, then his expression sharpened as he turned to Duanmu Huai.
“That's enough, CASTER's Master. I can't agree to let you kill SABER here. It would be such a shame for SABER to die like this.”
“RIDER, huh?”
Duanmu Huai glanced at the ruined, now vanished, remnants of the ox cart and snorted coldly.
“This is none of your business. No one has the right to stop what the Judge does.”
“Oh? Are you sure about that? If you insist on continuing, then I'll have no choice but to become your enemy. Surely you don't want to fight against three Heroic Spirits at the same time.”
With RIDER's words, the atmosphere on the field subtly changed once again. Though no one knew why RIDER appeared here to save SABER, the situation had obviously shifted. With RIDER's addition, three Servants now stood against CASTER, making it difficult even for CASTER to………
“Heh heh heh heh heh………”
The next moment, a menacing and murderous laughter erupted from Duanmu Huai.
“That's perfect. It saves me the trouble of hunting them down one by one!”
While speaking, Duanmu Huai raised his War Hammer.
“Come on, I'm best at handling all of you at once!”
As soon as the words were spoken, Duanmu Huai took a big step forward and attacked the redhead!
“Crap, what a stubborn guy……!”
Facing Duanmu Huai's attack, the redhead's expression slightly altered, then he raised his hand. Duanmu Huai saw a flash of light suddenly appear, and the next moment, an endless cloud of dust swept over with the violent wind, leaving no one in sight.
“MASTER!”
What was more surprising to Duanmu Huai was the discovery that Mash and Medea, who had been at a certain distance from him, had somehow appeared right beside him.
And Medea was now clutching her Magic Wand with a grave expression.
“Please be careful, this is an Innate Barrier!”
“Innate Barrier? What's that?”
“It's a special space created by the caster's inner world, eroding the real world and trapping the target inside the caster's psyche–a skill I didn't expect RIDER to have!
“So it's a mental space?”
Duanmu Huai pondered for a moment, then raised his War Hammer.
“No matter, it doesn't matter what it is. Just destroy it!”
As Duanmu Huai spoke, the power of the God of Destruction also began to tremble. Then Duanmu Huai lifted his War Hammer and slammed it hard against the ground!
“Bang!!”
The solid cement pavement shattered, and when Duanmu Huai looked up again, the desert that was there just a second ago had vanished, only to be replaced by the port area where they had fought before. However, this time SABER, LANCER, and RIDER had all disappeared without a trace. It was clear that they had taken the opportunity to escape while that RIDER had trapped him in that Innate Barrier.
“Tsk… such trouble.”
Duanmu Huai clicked his tongue, clearly annoyed. These Heroic Spirits didn't act like heroes at all, running away without a fight, wasting his time.
However… it wasn't completely fruitless–he now knew that SABER's Master was from the Einzbern family, so all he had to do was keep an eye on SABER.
“Let's go.”
Duanmu Huai turned around without hesitation and walked to the other side of the road.
“Next, our targets are SABER and her Master.”
