Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

Crimson lightning instantly climbed onto the longsword in her hand, and an extremely terrifying force emanated from her hand, like a bomb, with only a terrifying explosion audible.

With the enhancement of Mordred's crimson lightning magic, the massive body was easily sent flying backward, the entire area struck turning a scorched red.

"How weak!"

Mordred paid no attention to the Berserker who suddenly appeared and blocked her way. After knocking him away with a single sword strike, she continued running forward without slowing down.

but----

A burst of incredibly joyful laughter echoed through the white mist.

"Come on! Suppressor! Squeeze me even more! It's alright! I will turn this battered body into a rebellious blade! Piercing through your pride and greatness! Hahahaha!"

The enormous figure, seemingly unharmed, laughed wildly as it charged towards Mordred like a rampaging chariot.

He swung his greatsword down at her head.

"This is so annoying!!!!!!!!!"

Seeing the Berserker charging towards him seemingly unharmed, Mordred felt a surge of annoyance and charged straight at him with a streak of crimson lightning.

Such a blatant attack was far too crude. Mordred dodged the swinging greatsword with almost no effort, and pierced Mordred's chest with his crimson longsword.

"That's disgusting!"

Looking at his arm, which was growing out like a piece of flesh pierced through it and was still writhing, Mordred couldn't help but curse. An extremely powerful magical force flowed from his body to the sword.

Berserker was suddenly engulfed in lightning, and terrifying crimson lightning, carrying immense power, erupted from his body.

"Hahahaha! Spalas! Spalas! Being tortured! Being ravaged by those who wield power! The weak, no matter the era, can only face despair like this! Is this arrogance? Is this the ruthlessness of the oppressors towards the weak!"

"Crack!"

Countless wounds exploded from his body, and crimson magic, like a rampaging bull, caused his body to disintegrate at an extremely rapid pace.

Countless wounds exploded from his body, and flesh and blood flew through the mist.

"It's okay! It's okay! Keep torturing me like this, keep torturing me like you would a weakling, so that I can shout in victory."

Despite his injuries, the Berserker, covered in blood, still wore a menacing smile and once again swung his sword at Mordred's head.

Mordred never expected that a Servant could tolerate her unrestrained release of magical power, but she was now finding it difficult to dodge.

The sword in her hand had already sunk deep into Berserker's chest, and another hand, which had somehow grown out of her, held her firmly in place, unable to move at all. She could only watch helplessly as the longsword fell towards her head.

"clang--!"

The golden sword shattered the longsword in two. Any weapon would pale in comparison to such a golden blade, let alone an ordinary longsword.

Even after being embellished by historical legends, nothing can compare to this golden sword.

"Who needs your help?!"

Mordred grinned and shouted at Arthur, crimson magic gathering in front of her.

"boom--!"

Berserker, like a cannonball with a crimson tail, was once again blasted away by Mordred.

"I can break free myself!"

But Arthur seemed completely unconcerned about what Mordred was saying to him. He gripped the golden sword in his hand, turned around swiftly, and used it to shield himself.

"boom--!"

Another impact rang out, and Mordred could only see a green light flash past him, and a cross-shaped spear appeared in front of Arthur.

Let us complete the myth we failed to finish before.

An extremely arrogant voice came from the owner who held the cross-shaped spear.

Chapter 144 Support from Both Sides

"Mr. Lion Robbery!"

Emiya suddenly shouted in his direction and ran towards him, trying to push Shishikage Kairi away.

However, given Emiya's current speed, it's impossible for him to rescue Shishikai Kairi from Assassin's blade in such a short time.

There was nothing in Shishikage Kairi that could withstand Assassin's attack. Even if he reacted and used the [Demon's Embrace] given to him by Emiya, he would not be able to stop Assassin's stab.

The degraded projection was originally designed so that Shishikage Kairi could use it. The original projection could barely block her slashes, and the degraded projection would probably be like a piece of paper in front of Assassin.

"Uu——!"

An unusual cry came from the sky.

The chaotic airflow descended from the sky at an extremely rapid speed, instantly dispersing the surrounding thick fog.

The enormous figure crashed directly into the petite body.

"Bam—!"

An extremely powerful gust of wind rose from behind Lion Jie Li.

"what!"

With a soft cry of pain, the petite girl was struck as if by a truck, her entire body transforming into a streak of silver light as she crashed into a solid wall.

Under the extremely terrifying conflict, the entire wall shattered in a spiderweb pattern, centered on the silver-haired girl.

"it hurts!"

The silver-haired girl slid straight down the wall and collapsed on the ground.

The powerful gust of wind made it difficult for Emiya to open his eyes; he could only hear a crashing sound in front of him.

"boom--!"

A heavy object struck Shirou Emiya before he could brake, sending him hurtling backward and crashing to the ground.

"Yo! Master of King Arthur!"

As the thick fog dissipated, a creature with the upper body of a griffin and the lower body of a horse appeared before Shirou Emiya, flapping its enormous wings. On that horse, Astolfo waved and greeted Shirou Emiya.

"Rider?"

Emiya Shirou rubbed his eyes, tilted his head back, looked ahead, and prepared to stand up from the ground.

"Well--!"

A mature voice, accompanied by thick smoke, emanated from his body. Although Astolfo's attack was aimed directly at Assassin, the powerful airflow also sent Shiki-kai, who was nearby, flying away.

Faced with the Servant, Shishikage Kairi had absolutely no chance to react.

"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! Mom! Mom! We're in so much pain, Mom!"

The silver-haired girl hugged herself tightly, her lips trembling as she murmured. Her frail body lay listlessly at the foot of the wall, like the little match girl huddled in a corner in the snow, desperate and powerless.

"Rider! Take care of Assassin first!"

Emiya helped Shishikage Kairi to his feet and pointed at Assassin, who had been violently slammed into the corner by Astolfo. If they waited until she merged back into the mist, they would be at a disadvantage once again.

Rider's arrival may have eased the situation, but the crisis is not over. Even if she doesn't show herself, the continuous release of mist is enough to have a great impact on them.

"learn!"

Perhaps because he was the son of King Oddo of England and the heir to the throne, he had a natural desire to be close to Arthur and trusted his Master implicitly.

The creature beneath Astolfo's feet transformed into a streak of light, hurtling toward Assassin at incredible speed.

"boom--!"

The already crumbling wall collapsed in an instant, and countless stones fell downwards.

A huge cloud of smoke completely obscured Astolfo's figure, and Shirou Emiya could only see the surrounding fog disappearing at an extremely rapid speed.

"Is it resolved?"

Emiya Shirou voiced his question: Could such a troublesome Assassin have been so easily dealt with?

"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!"

A figure emerged from the dust. Astolfo, clutching his head and looking extremely pained, rode the creature beneath his feet and swiftly appeared in front of Emiya.

"Those stones hit my head and it hurt so much!"

Astolfo rubbed his head, which had been hit by a stone.

"What about Assassin?"

“Her Master used the Command Seal decisively, and my attack did not hit her.”

"is it?"

So it's not that easy to eliminate a Servant after all?

Emiya sighed inwardly. For a Servant, Assassin might be the weakest among all Servants, but for a Master, Assassin's existence was always a sword hanging over their head.

Even with the most sophisticated barriers created by modern magicians, Assassin could infiltrate and eliminate his target without disturbing the barrier at all.

"Master!"

Just as Emiya was about to ask Astolfo some questions, a person clad in armor ran toward his location at an incredibly terrifying speed.

"The red team's Saber?"

In an instant, Astolfo produced a spear almost as tall as himself, which he placed in front of Shirou Emiya.

Although he knew he didn't have much fighting ability, he considered himself a hero from the bottom of his heart. And if he was a hero, how could he not stand up when facing a powerful enemy?

But Mordred ignored him and charged straight toward the location of the Lion's Lair.

He slung the Lion's Demise over his shoulder and sped away once more.

Only Astolfo remained standing there, completely bewildered.

"Didn't I save the Master of the Red Saber before?"

Astolfo, somewhat regaining his senses, blankly asked Shirou Emiya beside him.

Emiya simply nodded, giving Astolfo an affirmative answer.

"What happened, Saber!"
