Otherwise, you can find another savior.

"Enough of the small talk, it's time to get going." Suzuka pointed her sword at Shiomi, countering his spear tip pointing at her. "I brought a lot of hostile attack programs with me today, so we have the advantage in numbers!"

At this time, Xijian turned his head slightly and glanced at Morgan.

There was no doubt that she intended to leave the surrounding battles to Shiomi and the other three to deal with, and she would solve the problem of Passionlip in the meantime.

After all, once Morgan joins the battle, Passionlip's restraints will no longer be effective because they will lose their maintenance, and the situation will return to the situation before the battle.

"Really? Then let me learn from you about the abilities of the daughter of the fourth-day demon king."

The opponent is the "Guardian". Although his abilities in all aspects are not as tough as Passionlip, he is still a real force that cannot be underestimated and must be dealt with with caution.

The battle started suddenly. Gawain and Tristan had already started fighting with Artoria. This was the second time for them to fight against the king they admired.

Even though they were unable to move freely, they still tried their best to suppress their attacks, allowing the Knight King to fight two Knights of the Round Table at the same time without being at a disadvantage.

Scathach was clearing out the endless stream of hostile attack program monsters.

After all, we can't let these small fry surround us and turn it into a situation where the master is defeated by a random punch.

"Hey, you can also control weapons like this!"

The katana clashed with the Gungnir, and every time they collided, a series of sparks burst out. Suzuka's smile became extremely fierce in the flickering firelight, and she no longer used the JK style to conceal her murderous intent.

Just as she manipulated the katana to fly around and attack, Shiomi's two red spears were also flying around, blocking Suzuka's katana from getting close to Morgan.

Suzuka also wanted to conjure up more swords to attack and interfere, but Shiomi did not give her any chance to attack further. His speed was beyond Suzuka's imagination.

Each shot was faster than the last, with incredible power and quick dodges.

There were several times when the tip of the spear was about to pierce Suzuka's heart or cut her throat, and she just managed to dodge it.

when--!

The spear came down heavily, and Suzuka couldn't dodge in time, so she had to raise her sword to block.

However, the power is a bit too light.

Are you looking down on me?

In doubt, Suzuka felt the breath of magic power flowing at a high speed.

"The end of the vast sea is the wind that does not follow the four directions... 'The Flow of All Things'!"

The chant was not omitted, and the wind of the great magecraft spread in an instant, transforming into countless sharp blades that enveloped the two people.

In the intervals between attacks, this technique was performed. At such close range, even with the anti-magic power of the Saber class, it was impossible to completely withstand it.

What's more, this is magic at the level of the Age of Gods.

However, the sword in Suzuka's hand - the Daidoren - also has its own special abilities.

There is no need to liberate your real name.

"Shout, Lou Lan!"

Suzuka summoned a tornado in an instant. It was not magic, but the golden sword in her hand changed its shape in an instant, turning into a tornado and deflecting the gun that Shiomi threw down.

She grasped the hilt of the knife with both hands and swung it forward vigorously.

The two gusts of wind collided and spread in an instant, which bought Suzuka a few seconds, allowing her to transform into more katana and go around behind Shiomi.

These swords were not aimed at Morgan, but went directly to the back of Shiomi, which was a complete blind spot attack.

Sensing the crisis solely by his combat instinct, Shiomi turned around without hesitation to meet the katana, but left a bigger flaw for Suzuka Gozen.

The strong wind had not yet completely dissipated, and the hostile attack programs that were swept up were decomposed into spirit particles, which were converted into flames by Suzuka as ready-made magic power.

"Roar, Firewheel!"

With a flash of light, it transformed into a blazing sword that could melt gold, and slashed at Shiomi's back.

"Tsk..."

Shiomi, who had just avoided the vital points, was hit by this blow and flew away. He quickly turned his body in the air, landed in a steady posture, and slapped away the flame standing on his collar.

With just a brief activation word, the sword can be switched to the desired posture at will.

Plus the "Water Training" that was demonstrated during the last battle.

Wind, fire, water.

It was the type of large-scale magic that Shiomi was used to using.

"As a Master, you can fight to this extent... Did you show your weakness on purpose last time?" Suzuka was very unhappy.

After finally seizing the opportunity to counterattack with a fatal move, he only burned his clothes.

"How is it? It's just a temporary retrieval."

Shiomi turned Gungnir, his eyes sharp as torches.

No more words needed, just fight.

Spears and swords intertwined on the battlefield once again.

Chapter 39: 'Demon Rain'

As a result, after becoming the "guardian" responsible for guarding a specific area in this computer space, Suzuka Gozen, who was not originally the top-notch Saber-class servant, was able to maximize the advantages of this class in terms of popularity and strength.

As a result, the battle took longer than Shiomi had expected.

On the one hand, those hostile attack program monsters would constantly rush out to interfere, but more importantly, Suzuka Gozen suffered several head-on attacks under Shiomi's fierce and fast attack that did not give her any breathing time. Even though she was able to defend most of them effectively, she still showed no signs of weakness.

Of course, Suzuka Gozen thought so too.

"Hey...are you a pervert? How come you still have the strength?!"

Suzuka Gozen's hand holding the katana Otsuchiren was shaking slightly, and she exclaimed in disgust.

Although he was a human, his strength was frighteningly greater than that of most Servants, and even if he was strengthened by magic, it was still incredible and completely beyond her comprehension.

"You are the one. How about just wait for your death? I promise to give you a quick death." Xijian pulled the gun out of the head of an electronic monster.

These monsters in the computer world look like four-legged mammals, but it is hard to tell whether they look like wolves or hippos.

Fortunately, although the exterior is solid, it is not so strong that Gungnir cannot penetrate it.

“Who wants to die obediently——!” Suzuka made a face, “Servants become Heroic Spirits after dying once. I don’t know what happened to the others, but I don’t want to die casually anyway.”

"So you're just going to obey Beast's orders?" Xijian raised his eyebrows.

"Beast? What is that…"

Suzuka's rebuttal came out of her mouth, and then she stopped abruptly.

She covered her head with her hands, looking quite uncomfortable, as if her head suddenly started to hurt severely.

Shiomi observed the other party quietly and said: "This Holy Grail War has been distorted. Servants who don't even have a Master are fighting here inexplicably-"

"Don't talk nonsense. Of course I have a Master. We had a good life together!" Suzuka swung his sword vigorously and rushed forward again. "Being a 'guard' is just a last resort. I belong to the Master who summoned me."

"Oh?" Shiomi was not in a hurry to fight back and confront Suzuka.

"I heard it. When I was summoned here, I heard the subtle but clear cry." Suzuka's eyes were gloomy and a little sad. "'I want to win', 'I don't want to die meaninglessly', although it was just talking to myself, it is a common cry of humans at the end of their lives. But I still want to realize this wish, for the Master I have never met and don't even know whether he is dead or alive."

"You are really... loyal!"

Shiomi suddenly turned sideways, relieving the pressure from Suzuka's sword, and hit her shoulder hard with the gun.

Suzuka was caught off guard and felt pain. He rolled on the ground several times before getting up and half-kneeling on the ground.

“It’s not loyalty! That trembling but desperate cry was conveyed to me… It was the last wish of a human being, entrusted to me, a stranger. So I must win this Holy Grail War! Wouldn’t I be a bad woman if I heard such a plea and still tried to escape?!”

She covered her injured shoulder and slowly stood up. The privilege of a "Guardian" allowed Suzuka to quickly heal this minor injury.

"Well said." Xi Jian was slightly moved.

Faced with the pressure from a strong enemy, Suzuka Gozen never showed any intention of backing down or admitting defeat.

He had misjudged the Servant's intentions.

Suzuka was obviously not fighting for her own wishes, but to save her Master whom she had never even met.

This alone was enough to make him respect this hostile Servant.

Then, a fight to the death—

"Cao Zi, read his writings - famous all over the world."

Suzuka threw the golden sword in her hand, and the sword floated just above her, emitting a strong light.

This undisguised huge magical power is Suzuka Gozen's Noble Phantasm.

Shiomi immediately took a stance and prepared to fight back.

"If the eight clouds stand on the tile roof, the sparrow thorns will kill the evil spirits."

She chanted tanka-like words, and a red torii gate appeared behind Suzuka. The golden sword array instantly split into four circles, with neatly arranged swords.

That is Suzuka Gozen's Noble Phantasm, the embodiment of the legend.

"The great magical power of Manjusri's sword of wisdom, love explosion! 'Heavenly Ghost Rain'!"

Unlike the usual dozens of swords, this magical technique allows the beloved sword to split into 250 swords at once. Originally, it was said that it could split into 500 swords, but this number is already Suzuka's current limit.

However, when Suzuka Gozen's own inherent skill "Blessing of Wisdom" is activated, she can perform the delicate operation of "avoiding herself when falling around her".

In other words, although it seemed that there was no distinction between friend and foe, only Suzuka Gozen was spared.

Because the activated Noble Phantasm does not pour down all at once, but can be used as a continuous area attack, aiming at one target.

That is the Shiomi in front of us.

As long as he, the Master, is defeated, the three servants who look troublesome will not have an easy time either.

However, Suzuka had not expected that when those split swords were aimed at Shiomi, he not only did not try to escape from the attack range, but instead rushed towards the oncoming rain of swords.

As fast as lightning and as powerful as thunder.

Although Shiomi dodged, he did not intend to let the missed swords fall near Morgan behind him. The spear in his hand danced up and down, and the sharp edge of Gungnir was like pear blossoms blooming around him.

Realizing that there was no time to waste, Suzuka fired all the remaining swords at once.

It was so dense that it almost surrounded Shiomi's body. Once hit, he would turn into a blurry mass of flesh and blood and fall to the ground.

However, at the moment when all these swords were about to pierce through the body, a bright light centered on Shiomi, and magical power on the scale of a treasure suddenly exploded, dispersing those katana.

"Well--!"

Suzuka was so dazzled that she could hardly open her eyes.

In the light, Xi Jian rushed forward like a comet, and the cold light of the spear appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Suzuka secretly thought that something was wrong and raised her sword to defend against the inevitable thrust, but she still made a wrong judgment.

The figures of both sides passed each other.

Amidst the scattered swords on the ground, Suzuka knelt down, covering the wound on her chest.

"Why... don't you kill me?"

Shiomi avoided the vital points of the attack taken by Suzuka, but was seriously injured and unable to continue fighting.

"Because I guessed correctly, you are different from Passionlip. You are not manipulated, but deceived."

"What……"

"The one who deceived you was the mastermind behind the fake Holy Grail War that caused the Servants to fight each other, the disaster called Beast."

Chapter 40: Expanding Combat Power

At almost the same time as Shiomi, Artoria and Scathach also ended their battle with the two Knights of the Round Table, temporarily depriving them of their ability to fight.

Although the huge number of hostile attack programs caused considerable trouble, they were eventually caught up in the treasures of Suzuka and Altria and wiped out.

After Shiomi explained the situation to Suzuka Gozen and analyzed the reasons why she was deceived, Suzuka simply accepted the result.

"How straightforward! I thought you would be more stubborn." Shiomi put away the gun, put his hands on his waist, and looked at Suzuka who was kneeling on the ground.

"… Because if you're lying, there's no need to show mercy." Suzuka looked at the wound on her chest. Even a 'Guardian' couldn't recover from this level of serious injury immediately. "And… you didn't even release the True Name of your Noble Phantasm, and you were able to deal with my Noble Phantasm."

"Not entirely." Shiomi shrugged, "The move that deflected your 'Heavenly Demon Rain' was actually a virtual Noble Phantasm magecraft."

Suzuka's expression became even weirder, and she madly complained to him: "Huh? Magic? Imaginary Noble Phantasm? You really are a pervert! How can a human use magic to imitate a Noble Phantasm!"
