RPAGF Chapter 122 Deadlock
Chapter 122 Deadlock
(Here's today's bonus chapter. Waaaa, every Saturday and Sunday is like entering a hellish dungeon for me. I don't want to get up early, and I don't want to go to work QAQ)
The battle nearby reached a stalemate for a time.
The atmosphere on Yu Bai's side also turned extremely cold, and what broke this atmosphere was Berserker, who had not appeared since the dock.
The dark-skinned Heroic Spirit somehow acquired a human aircraft, and Berserker's ability was that anything it touched could be transformed into his Noble Phantasm.
Berserker piloted this Noble Phantasm aircraft like a wild horse, launching a fierce dive attack on Gilgamesh in the air.
Gilgamesh clearly hadn't expected to encounter this reckless Heroic Spirit again on this utterly boring night. Looking at Berserker, who was also piloting a flying vehicle, a playful smile curled at the corner of his lips. He decided to play along with this mad dog.
He simply tossed Tokiomi Tohsaka from the aircraft onto a high-rise rooftop without even checking if he was standing properly, and then, in his aircraft, he and Berserker staged a dramatic chase in the air: Tokiomi escaped, Berserker pursued, and Tokiomi was trapped.
Gilgamesh's unrestrained laughter echoed in the air, causing Yu Bai to shake his head helplessly and turn his attention back to the stalemate below.
until...
With a soft "thud," Caster's Master was struck in the abdomen by a bullet.
Ryunosuke Amusei, who was watching the monster in the sea go berserk from the bridge, was initially confused and didn't know what was happening.
As the pain slowly returned, he raised his hand that was clutching his abdomen and looked at the blood on his hand. As a freakish serial killer, Ryunosuke Amuro naturally had a thought process that was different from that of ordinary people.
He stared at his palms in fascination, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Ah~ How beautiful! So the beauty I've been pursuing has always been hidden inside my own body?"
"Pfft." Another shot was fired, but this time it was aimed at Ryunosuke Uryuu's head instead of his abdomen.
As the bullet pierced his head, Ryunosuke Uryu fell to the ground. Surprisingly, instead of showing pain, he wore a happy smile as he fell.
Of the seven conquering teams, five remain.
"I shot and killed someone who looked like Master Caster with a sniper rifle." After putting the sniper rifle away, Kiritsugu Emiya, who was now on the top of the building, took out his phone and dialed the number of his assistant, Maiya Hisau.
He paused, then saw the monster, which had stopped moving after Ryunosuke Uryu's death, continue speaking into the phone: "Now it seems that it is indeed Caster's Master."
"Now that we've eliminated the Caster group, should we take this opportunity to get rid of the Masters from the other groups?"
"No, not for now. Although Caster's Master is dead, with Caster's magical power, he can still move around in the mortal world on his own for a while. The most important thing now is to kill him first, and absolutely not let Caster come ashore."
Nothing, neither anti-personnel nor anti-army Noble Phantasms, could kill Caster. Only… anti-city Noble Phantasms. King Arthur possessed such a Noble Phantasm.”
At this point, Kiritsugu Emiya glanced subtly at Yu Bai floating in the air, "But unfortunately, King Arthur's left hand was injured by Lancer's Noble Phantasm, so he can't use it right now. If we want King Arthur to use his Noble Phantasm, we must first get Lancer to remove the curse effect from the 'Cursed Yellow Rose' in his hand."
Sensing the death of its Master, Caster roared madly inside the monster: "Aaaaaah~ Ryunosuke~ My Master! I never thought you would leave me first, but it doesn't matter, I will let you see our grand performance~" With Caster's roar, the previously still monster went berserk once again.
On the lake, King Arthur swung his greatsword tirelessly, severing the tentacles that flew everywhere, but all to no avail. Her hand, gripping the greatsword tightly, trembled slightly from the weakness in her left hand.
If only I could use that trick.
However... feeling the weakness coming from his left hand, King Arthur could only grit his teeth and endure the discomfort.
"Saber, this can't go on. Let's go back to shore, discuss it, and then make a decision," the Conqueror said to King Arthur from the air, riding his chariot.
……
The group gathered on the beach once more. King Arthur and the King of Conquerors both wore serious expressions, having just fully experienced the monster's terrifying regenerative abilities.
"What should we do now?" Diarmuid asked, gripping his twin pistols tightly, his eyes fixed on the monster that was getting closer and closer to the shore.
We must stop him here and prevent the monster from coming ashore, otherwise the entire Fuyuki City will be destroyed.
“I can use the power of the King’s army to pull Cater into the bounded field, but that can only last for three minutes. During those three minutes, you must find a way to kill Cater.”
“Saber…Saber can use her Noble Phantasm to kill her, but ever since she was injured in her battle against Lancer, she hasn’t been able to unleash the full power of her Noble Phantasm,” Irisviel said hastily upon seeing the situation.
"Wounds inflicted by my 'Cursed Yellow Rose' will never heal. As long as my spear remains, it will be impossible to heal Saber's wounds."
Diarmuid held up the yellow spear in front of everyone. If Saber wanted to be restored, there was only one way: Diarmuid himself had to break the "Cursed Yellow Rose".
Only when this Noble Phantasm is gone can Saber recover from her injuries and use it to kill Caster.
In the past, Diarmuid might have decided to forgo his Noble Phantasm due to the constraints of chivalry and the urgency of the situation. However, since his heart-to-heart talk with Yashiro, he has become even more determined to dedicate the victory to Yubai and prioritize the safety of his Master.
He will never give up his Noble Phantasm easily!
Just kidding. Ever since his last enlightenment, he had already started to regret not bringing the Demon Sword with him. Now they want him to give up one of his Noble Phantasms.
Diarmuid dared to swear that if he really did this, without his Master even needing to come looking for him, the moment he broke the yellow spear, the group of sword spirits in his Master's citadel would come running over and break him too.
"Then you can..."
"Irisviel! Stop talking!"
Just as Irisviel was about to say something about Diarmuid cutting off his own spear to defeat the monster, she was interrupted by King Arthur before she could finish speaking.
Seeing King Arthur's disapproval and serious expression for the first time, Irisviel bit her lip and swallowed the words she was about to say.
"Oh? What, you can't beat them, so you want my Heroic Spirit to break their own Noble Phantasm? When you and Kiritsugu Emiya came up with this idea, did you consider how I, as Lancer's Master, would react?"
……
Irisviel: Lancer, would you break your Noble Phantasm to save the people of Fuyuki City? (Emiya Kiritsugu points from behind)
Yu Bai: Trying to scheme against Lancer? Am I being too kind of you?
