Magician in Type-Moon

If one were to forcibly break through the barrier from the outside, even if releasing a Noble Phantasm opened the passage, it would inevitably consume a large amount of magic power.

Even if they manage to break through, once they enter Caster's workshop, with the opponent having the advantage of terrain, their own magic power will have been greatly depleted, making the final outcome even more unpredictable.

"When will we get there?" Saber continued, a hint of urgency in her eyes.

"Ah, well... Kiritsugu just told us to take a walk here..." Alice Fia awkwardly touched her ear and explained embarrassedly.

"Does Master really distrust me that much?" Saber's tone was tinged with disappointment and confusion.

“No, Kiritsugu said the situation there isn’t suitable for you to enter now,” Alice quickly explained.

"Let's get ourselves in a good state first. When the time comes, he will summon you directly with a Command Spell."

Although Kiritsugu Emiya did not explicitly explain the situation over the phone, Alice's explanation at that moment was quite similar to Kiritsugu's own thoughts.

Saber felt a little more relaxed after hearing this, but still had some doubts.

“I understand, but... I hope to join the battle as soon as possible.”

Alice gave a reassuring smile and said:

"Kiritsugu's strategy has always been cautious. We just need to trust him and be prepared."

After saying that, Alice took Saber's hand and led her to continue walking on the beach.

......

Although most of the arrows, like streaks of light, shattered and dissipated into magical specks before even touching Lancer's body, even the most rigorous defenses have loopholes, and some managed to slip through and strike Lancer's body.

However, for someone with B-rank magic resistance, these damages were still within her tolerance range and would not disrupt her offensive rhythm.

Lancer felt several arrows pierce her defenses, and a searing pain shot through the areas where she was hit, but she merely frowned slightly and continued her high-intensity offensive.

Her magic continued to emanate; possessing the Dragon Heart, she efficiently converted the magic extracted from her Master into power. This burning of energy was far from reaching her limit.

As the battle progressed, her fighting spirit soared, and her unrestrained magic surged like a tidal wave.

"Synchronize! Accelerate synchronization!" she whispered, her voice carrying an irrepressible force.

With the power of the knight named Lancelot, the tip of her spear shone with an even more intense light, and her power was raised to another level.

Stab it!

With a piercing tearing sound, the second layer of protective barrier at Ryudou Temple shattered instantly under this powerful attack.

The fragments of the barrier scattered like glass, reflecting scattered rays of light. Her attack was like a storm, unstoppable.

However, after the second layer of the barrier disappeared, the final layer of the barrier was revealed, and the previously broken barrier was being rapidly restored under Caster's repair.

Her movements were lightning fast, and each attack carried devastating power.

"What a turtle shell! How come it's so hard to hit!" Lancer muttered, though he was dissatisfied, he still swung his spear without slowing down.

Each attack carried immense power, attempting to tear apart Caster's defensive barrier.

However, the other Masters and Servants watching from afar were amazed by the intensity of the battle and the strength displayed by both sides.

Whether it was Lancer's fierce offensive or Caster's defense, which resembled a wall of sighs.

Before fully understanding the strength of the other Heroic Spirits, Lancer and Caster undoubtedly demonstrated their exceptional abilities in this battle.

The other Masters nearby were also discussing the battle, their attention drawn to the intense fight, while simultaneously reassessing their own strategies.

Seeing that he couldn't easily break through this solid defensive barrier, Lancer became slightly anxious and decided to use his Noble Phantasm to deliver the final blow.

Although this is not her final tactic, it is currently the most powerful attack method available in the battle.

"Master, let me use my Noble Phantasm." Lancer conveyed her intention to Kenneth through telepathy.

Although Kenneth had his reservations, seeing Lancer's unwavering resolve, he understood her intentions. The strategic objective for the day had essentially been achieved, but...

"As you wish, Lancer."

With his Master's approval, Lancer was overwhelmed with excitement. What could be better than gaining a kindred spirit in a Holy Grail War?

"Synchronize! Synchronize!" she murmured, and the magic power within her body began to rise rapidly.

The spirit origin named 'Lancelot' is rapidly solidifying, and the blessing of the 'Knights of the Round Table' is quickly manifesting in her.

The Dragon Heart began to pulsate violently, its essence and magic power burning and transforming into boundless strength!

The torrent of frenzied energy is being compressed to its limit, compressed to its limit! Waiting for a one-time explosion!

Everyone present understood what this heroic spirit who controlled the sky wanted to do!

“Show me your strength, Lancer.” Kenneth’s voice came from the mountains and fields. Sometimes words can be a form of power.

"Just you wait and see, Master!"

Chapter 34 "Shattered" (Please add to your favorites! Please recommend!)

In the forests of Yuanzang Mountain, a ghostly figure darted swiftly among the trees, moving with lightness and agility, each step seemingly carrying the power of the wind, yet without making a sound.

Even the air currents that passed by him did not notice his presence, as if he had merged with nature, achieving true snow-walking without leaving a trace.

With a clear goal and a unified mind and body, every action is filled with precise calculations and calm thinking.

Moonlight filtered through the leaves, casting a brief shadow on him before disappearing into the darkness.

"Assassin, how's the situation?"

A faint sound came from the gem-encrusted communicator hanging in the assassin's ear.

Assassin paused slightly, then quickly hid in the shadow of an ancient tree. His ears twitched slightly, receiving his master's command.

"We haven't found Lancer's Master's hiding place yet, but we have discovered a suspicious person." Assassin's voice remained deep and calm, ready to receive new instructions at any time.

"A suspicious person? Is it another Master?" The voice on the other end of the communicator was silent for a moment, as if weighing and thinking, before continuing to ask.

“It shouldn’t be her, as it doesn’t match the characteristics of the Masters already mentioned in the intelligence.” Assassin explained, “Furthermore, she doesn’t have any Command Seals on her hand, but we can’t rule out the possibility that she’s disguised.”

He paused to make sure he hadn't missed any important details, "His manner of movement and posture were very cautious, as if he had received specialized training."

Silence fell again on the other end of the communicator, as they were clearly considering the significance of this unexpected discovery.

Then, the command came again: "...specific characteristics".

"Female, short black hair, 161cm tall, weighing around 50kg, with a sweet tooth..." Assassin's eyes were like a ruler, perfectly measuring Hisayu Maiya's precise features.

"...Has a sweet tooth?"

A puzzled voice came through the communicator, seemingly not understanding how mere observation could lead to conclusions about the target's preferences.

"As the woman moved, she stuffed a handful of candy into her mouth."

"...Hmm, make her the second target, the first priority is still Lancer's Master."

"receive."

The ghostly figure reappeared in the moonlight, roaming freely through the mountains and forests before disappearing into the darkness again.

......

【——Innocence Aroundight——The Undiscovered Immaculate Lake Scenery——】

"Synchro! Accelerate synchro!" Lancer's voice was filled with determination and fervor.

The Dragon Heart spun like a turbine, constantly increasing the bitrate of magic.

Releasing a Noble Phantasm requires a large amount of magical energy, which is naturally extracted from Master Kenneth. Due to his prior foresight, he did not want to bring Solau here.

Although he was strongly urged to come, Kenneth firmly refused.

As the monarch of the Clock Tower, Kenneth's magical reserves are undoubtedly among the best in this war.

However, Lancer's excessively eager desires caused his magic circuits to emit a creaking warning sound.

Despite Kenneth's abundant magical power, the rate at which it was being consumed was now taking its toll.

However, it would be irresponsible to back down at this point. He has already shown fear once, and this time...

Lancer combined his two short guns, concentrating all his strength into one point.

Her gaze was sharp and resolute, unwavering. The magic of the Dragon Heart surged within her; she felt every drop of magic boiling and burning, yearning to unleash its devastating power.

Although the barrier on the second floor of Ryudouji Temple had already repaired itself during Lancer's energy-charging time, ...

The spear suddenly thrust out, a dazzling light tearing through the night sky, pointing directly at the core of the Ryudou Temple's barrier.

The light struck the barrier like thunder, and the shocking power made the entire mountain forest tremble.

The barrier cracked rapidly under this irresistible force, like fragile glass being torn into countless fragments.

......

Let's go back to before the barrier shattered.

A tense atmosphere permeated the air within Ryudou Temple. All the magicians and heroic spirits present could feel the immense magical power gradually gathering, pressing down on everyone's nerves like the calm before a storm.

Caster, standing inside the barrier, kept his eyes fixed on Lancer high in the sky.

Her magical energy fluctuations were unusually intense, clearly indicating that she was making final preparations to unleash her Noble Phantasm. Caster's expression was solemn; although he was confident in the defensive capabilities of his barrier, Lancer's terrifying power was obviously beyond his usual expectations.

"Looks like she's getting serious," Caster muttered to himself as he began chanting an ancient incantation.

With her blessing, the barrier's defensive power was enhanced once again, becoming like a solid wall of copper and iron.

But that's not enough. No matter how much the defense is reinforced, it is foreseeable that it will be easily breached under the impending, astonishing impact.

Perhaps only those legendary defensive treasures that have been famous for a long time can barely withstand this attack.

Caster understood that in this situation, mere defense could not guarantee victory.

Matou Ike and Caster both understood that the best defense lies in offense. Since defense is destined to be breached, they had to turn the tide through offense.

Caster turned to look at his Master and found that Matou Ike was also looking at him.

“Master…” Caster whispered.

“Hmm…” Matou Ike responded. Although the words were brief, the two instantly understood what the other was thinking and tacitly affirmed each other’s actions.

Caster took a deep breath and began to draw upon the magic power that had accumulated in the magic pool over the past three months.

This magic was slowly drawn from the underground spiritual veins, specifically to prepare for the Holy Grail War.

This was originally one of our trump cards, but unexpectedly, we've already used more than half of them on the first day.
