I'm really not a top magician

It only takes a moment for the wound to heal perfectly.

The attack has no effect.

The three people's battle was in vain, but fortunately, their efforts could at least slightly slow down the sea monster's advance.

"We need a more powerful Noble Phantasm!"

At this moment, C Dai, who was fighting on the battlefield, thought so.

She wasn't complaining that Rider and Lancer's Noble Phantasms were useless. On the contrary, as both were Heroic Spirits, anything that could be materialized as a Noble Phantasm must be something that would leave an important name in human history.

But the current situation is that even though Rider and Lancer both used such powerful treasures, they still could not defeat this monster.

No matter how many people we have and how much we inflict on it, it will be meaningless if all wounds can be regenerated instantly.

To defeat a monster with its head down, you have to smash it into ashes with one blow, leaving no trace of flesh.

Therefore,

What everyone needs now is not a Noble Phantasm against people, nor a Noble Phantasm against armies.

But it is a more powerful anti-city treasure!

Thinking of this, C Dai couldn't help but think of his master, Sha Tiao Ai Ge.

In fact, she knew Aika Sajo's plan from the beginning.

In this Holy Grail War, there are only three people who can use a Noble Phantasm against a city.

Archer Gilgamesh,

Saber Altria,

There is also Sandbar Aige, who has been recognized by the Nalandril family and the elves of the lake.

Only these three people possess a Noble Phantasm that can resist a city.

But judging from the current situation, it is not very optimistic.

Gilgamesh has not taken action since he used his four treasures to attack the sea monster.

Judging from the current situation, it would be better to say that Gilgamesh came here to watch the show rather than to join the war.

C Dai couldn't condemn him too much for his attitude. After all, she had heard from Merlin a long time ago that King Gilgamesh, the oldest king of mankind, had the ability to see through the future.

Perhaps he knew the outcome of the battle from the beginning, so he chose to watch.

All in all, from now on, it seems that he cannot be relied upon in this battle.

And there is Artoria who is a Saber.

As for himself as a king, C Dai actually has an inexplicable attitude.

She admired the king who dared to take on the fate of Britain and pulled out the sword from the stone.

Even though he knew his fate was tragic, he still resolutely took on the destiny of Britain.

Such a king is worthy of Cdai's admiration.

However, perhaps it is precisely because she became a king at such a young age that Artoria's wish to participate in the Holy Grail War is full of unspeakable childishness.

As a king, she actually wants to change her past?

What if I hadn't pulled out the sword from the stone?

What if I hadn't become king?

If only I understood human nature?

if....

Various kinds of regrets filled the queen's heart, making it impossible for her to see the road ahead.

Even the light of the holy sword has dimmed because of this.

In the battle with Saber,

The moment Saber realized that she was mistaken for Merlin,

She already felt it, her sword was sad,

But now, this confused king is not present at this moment.

Maybe it was because of the Master's order, or maybe she didn't have time to come.

all in all,

Now the final option in the plan has fallen on Aika Sajo.

only....

"Hey! Great Sage! This isn't a solution. Let's retreat for now."

Just as C was lost in thought, Rider, who was in the chariot above her head, called out to her.

C Dai came back to his senses and shouted, "What are you going to do now?"

"There's no way we can keep wasting time here with him. Let's retreat for now and make long-term plans!"

C Dai quickly agreed to Rider's proposal. With Rider leading the way, the two retreated back to the riverbank where Sha Tiao Aige and the others were. Meanwhile, Berserker, piloting the fighter plane, continued to frantically attack the sea monster, directing Silver Wing to sit on it, hoping to buy them some time.

Just as C Dai jumped back to the bank,

Rider's chariot also descended from the sky to the ground with thunder.

"Well, Miss Sajo, since you summoned us here with various excuses before now, you must have anticipated the current situation. If you don't have a plan by now, I'll be in awe of you."

As soon as he landed, Rider spoke to Aika Sado from the open door.

Even Weber, the Master, had never seen Iskandar in such a serious state. He no longer had his usual carefree demeanor.

Aika Sajo also understood what the King of Conquerors meant, and she also understood that the current situation really required her, the apparent leader, to come up with a substantive strategy.

Judging from the current situation,

Gilgamesh had no intention of taking action.

And Saber hasn't arrived yet,

Now,

I can only rely on myself.

"I have a Noble Phantasm that can deal with the sea demon, but I need time."

"Then leave it to me!"

Before Sajo Aika could explain the details, Rider would confirm the situation. Even the renowned King of Conquerors couldn't remain relaxed in such a situation.

After all now,

Timing is everything!

"My Noble Phantasm is a barrier. I'm dragging that creature inside, but with my abilities, the best I can do is trap it within the barrier."

"What should we do next?" Lancer asked.

"I don't know." Rider answered directly.

However, from his serious expression, it was clear that Rider was definitely not joking.

In order to buy time for Sajo Aika's strategy which has not yet been explained,

This expedient is the strategy of the conqueror king,

And now, between a servant and a master who have never known each other's abilities, this is the best they can do.

"After dragging something that large inside, my barrier can only last a few minutes at most. Ms. Sajō, is that enough time?"

"enough!"

Facing Rider's questioning, Sajo Aika answered decisively.

"Okay, then kid, you stay here too."

Before he finished speaking, Rider put Weber down from the driver's seat.

"Hello? What are you doing! Hey!"

Webber was a little unhappy with Rider's decision to let him out of the driver's seat.

Before this, he really hated Rider pulling him into the cockpit and even dragging him to that deadly battlefield. To be honest, when he faced the sea monster from the cockpit just now, Weber was so scared that he could only hold on to Rider's cloak tightly.

But now, Rider suddenly pulled him out of the cab, which made him feel reluctant and even uneasy. Because throughout history, except for Sajo Aika, no one has ever recognized his talent like Rider, even if it is just a little bit, and the Servant in front of him is willing to pull him into the battlefield.

Rider also noticed Waver's unhappy mood and continued to explain:

"Once the barrier is deployed, I will not be able to understand the situation in the outside world. Boy, if there is any situation, just concentrate on summoning me, and I will leave a messenger for you."

Even though it was the alliance period, in Waver's opinion, acting separately from his own Servant in front of two other Servants was undoubtedly an extremely dangerous and foolish act.

Having said that, in this situation, no matter how much he guarded against his allies' betrayal, it would be useless. Despite his inner trepidation, the young man reluctantly nodded.

"Then Miss Satsuki and the other Heroic Spirits will be rid of them next!"

"Ok!"

After hearing everyone's responses, Rider drove his chariot towards the sea monster without hesitation.

Although everyone is full of hope,

However, C Dai understood that this was not an easy task for his master.

Use the holy sword to defeat the sea monster.

This is a good idea indeed.

However, Aika Sajo's current body is indeed not strong enough to support the released holy sword.

The wounds accumulated from the holy swords used in the Nelandriel workshop and the temple,

If Aika Sajo was an excellent magician, she could indeed use some of her own magical skills, such as strengthening her body, to avoid being injured after releasing the holy sword.

It's like the recoil of a pistol.

And Aika Sajo is one of those unskilled magicians, so it is normal for her to get injured after using the holy sword for the first few times.

If she is given enough time to adapt, then liberating the Holy Sword will not be difficult.

However, Sajo Aika's hands are still seriously injured.

In fact, the others did not differ in a single detail.

When Shatiao Aige was eating, her hands were shaking.

The wrist injury was so painful that she took painkillers every day.

"Master, are you really okay with your injury?"

C Dai couldn't help but ask using telepathy.

How could a hand that couldn't even hold chopsticks be able to support the release of the holy sword?

"I don't know either." Sajo Aika answered directly.

But looking at her expression,

It seemed like he was no longer joking.

"So you still..."

"Altria, actually, I've always been looking forward to participating in the Holy Grail War."

Facing C Dai's questioning, Sha Tiao Aige interrupted directly,

"I have always thought that I am a person without talent,"

"Even the most basic magic tricks can't be performed as easily as others."

"I even thought at one point, if only I could have other people's talents,"

"Thinking like this gives me nightmares every day."

"Everyone thinks I'm studying magic like crazy in order to become stronger. But I've always known it, I just want to use this method to tell myself and others that I'm working hard. I'm just pretending to be working hard."

"It was only later, after the Demon Pillar declared war on me, that I finally understood a fact."

"As for me, it seems like I've never been great. Really, is it so difficult to admit that I'm mediocre?"
