Skadi, returning to infinity

"really."

The red figure landed, and the somewhat indifferent male voice rang out.

He made a heroic entrance and easily defeated the "bad guy" who attacked the beauty.

If an ordinary girl were to witness this scene, she would easily fall for Red A's handsome and powerful figure.

Unfortunately, none of the three women present had any interest in Red A.

"Thank you, Caster." In front of outsiders, Medea's full name is not used; instead, she is addressed by her rank.

She didn't call Medea out; Skadi was even prepared for "serious injury."

Unexpectedly, Medea took the initiative to save her, allowing her to avoid the attack and forcing her to slightly change her plans.

Medea remained silent, simply holding Skadi and looking at the black knight.

Although the Black Knight was knocked away by Red A's long-range arrow and then kicked by Red A, he did not suffer any fatal damage.

He stood up from the ground, his gaze passing directly through Red A to Skadi.

Bound by the Command Spell, the Black Knight now has only one thought: to attack Skadi; ​​she has no other consciousness.

"Emiya, be careful. He's in a berserk state right now, and he won't be easy to defeat."

Skadi reminded Red A, but her eyes were looking into the distance.

Do you want to see me make a move?

Unfortunately, I would absolutely not make a move now.

"With your barrier, I'm confident I can defeat him."

Red A is quite confident, but he personally might need to put in a lot of effort to deal with the Black Knight after he goes berserk.

But with Skadi's [Wish to Die Together in the Dark] barrier, he no longer needed to worry about whether he was a match for the Black Knight.

Even without using his trump card, he was confident he could take down the Black Knight.

Unfortunately, Red A's idea was good, but no one was willing to let him experiment with it.

Just as he was about to make his move, the Black Knight suddenly growled a few times, his gaze lingering on Skadi for a moment before he left.

"Don't chase." Red A wanted to chase, but Skadi timidly told her not to.

"He's here, and his Master must be nearby. That Ultimate Adventurer Group wouldn't let them act alone; they'd definitely be with them."

FF

"If we chase after them, we'll be surrounded."

"They are just testing the waters right now and don't intend to attack directly, so we shouldn't act rashly."

Hearing her words, Red A paused for a moment and nodded.

The Black Knight's figure receded into the distance, and the few people flying in the air landed one after another.

Looking at the devastation wrecked by the recent battle, Skadi could only sigh.

Just as she was feeling down, a sniper bullet unexpectedly pierced through the air and went straight into her heart.

A flash of blood appeared, and the girl was sent flying and fell to the ground.

Blood instantly stained the entire ground...

Chapter 45: Nurse's Uniform? Are you cosplaying?

"Master?!" Medea rushed over instantly and hugged Skadi in a princess carry.

She looked at the girl whose chest was bleeding, whose mouth was starting to bleed, and whose face was pale, and felt somewhat at a loss.

Medea's appearance was naturally an act; Skadi had told her what to do beforehand.

Seeing her like this, no outsider would doubt whether Skadi was actually alright.

“Take her away, let me stop them.”

Red A didn't even have time to check if Skadi was alright; the situation was quite obvious.

The other party's actions were not simply a test; they genuinely intended to kill Skadi and the others.

This result made Red A very nervous.

He had to accomplish something here; if his teammates died in battle and no one supported him, he wouldn't be able to defeat these enemies.

The thing that needed to be done naturally became nonsense.

"Cough cough, let's go..."

However, Skadi, whose heart had been pierced, was not "dead" yet. She looked at Red A's back, said something with difficulty, and then fainted.

"Walk."

The enemy's bullets came flying again, but this time Kurumi Tokisaki was prepared.

She fired a "First Bullet" at herself, speeding up her reaction time.

The instant the second bullet pierced the space, she fired a bullet, shooting it down.

"Let's go, while the barrier is still there, or they'll kill us."

Kurumi Tokisaki also fired a "First Bullet" at Archer, increasing his movement speed.

"Damn it."

Red A gritted his teeth and glared angrily into the distance.

He couldn't see who attacked him, but he was certain that if things continued like this, they would eventually reach Dio, who was somewhere off on some unknown mission.

If Muzan returns, they will inevitably die here.

"They ran away, should we chase them?"

Gai looked at Aizen beside him, who was holding a sniper rifle.

The person who just fired the shot was Aizen.

He didn't want to reveal his presence, but he wanted to test Skadi and the others' situation.

So after the Black Knight was driven away, he immediately picked up his sniper rifle and fired a shot at Skadi.

I thought that no matter how much the other party acted, they would definitely react to an attack that could kill me directly.

To his surprise, the girl was actually hit without any reaction.

Although the test shot didn't contain much energy, if it hit, an A-level agent would basically be beyond saving.

She, a Class C agent, doesn't seem to have died on the spot.

However, with corrosive energy attached to it, Skadi would die sooner or later without S-rank healing abilities.

If Skadi is really dead, then their operation has been a success.

If Skadi didn't die, it would prove that she was indeed hiding her abilities.

Moreover, regardless of whether Skadi is dead or not, once Red A's strength is confirmed, even if the three of them chase after them, they won't be able to kill them easily.

To avoid being lured into a dangerous place and eliminated by the enemy when their two strongest fighters are not available, it's best not to be reckless.

That's better.

"This operation was a success. Whether she is dead or not, we are now in a position of advantage."

"If we continue chasing, we risk being ambushed."

Let's leave it at that for now.

Aizen was cautious; he didn't think Skadi and the others would be easy to deal with.

Being able to seriously injure Skadi was already an unexpected gain.

Continuing to pursue this further could easily lead to trouble.

If we want to take action against them, it's not too late to wait until Dio and Muzan return.

“Okay.” Ya didn’t say anything; he stood there quietly.

The Black Knight stood behind him, enveloped in black mist, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

"What's wrong with him?"

Gai Tsutsugami turned to look at the Black Knight. This guy had actually defied his orders.

Furthermore, even using Command Seals, I couldn't control his actions. What's going on?

Logically speaking, Servants who have gone berserk should not have their own independent thoughts.

But the Black Knight just now clearly possessed self-awareness.

This feeling made him uneasy, and he worried that it might trigger a bigger crisis.

"Lancelot, did he just defy you?"

After packing his things, Aizen calmly looked ahead.

He was asking the question to the cliff behind him.

After all, he saw that scene too.

"Yes, Lancelot seems very reluctant to make a move against Skadi."

"I don't think this is a good sign."

“That woman is dangerous. If we can’t deal with her first, I’m worried she’ll cause us even more trouble later.”

Ya is unsure whether it's Skadi's influence or something else entirely.

But Lancelot, the Black Knight, did indeed refrain from attacking Skadi and defy her orders. If Skadi wasn't the problem, he really wouldn't...

We know whose problem it is now.

"I knew, that's why I shot her afterwards."

"I thought she would avoid it, but she didn't."
