Shinji Jiatong?
Why would he appear here?
Ever since Sakura had been abducted by me, I had tricked her servant, Shinji Jiatong's only guard of honor, Rider, into becoming one of my employees. This scumbag had gradually faded out of our sight. It wasn't that I allowed him to continue living peacefully, but I had excluded him from the circle of the Holy Grail War. A cripple who had lost his only servant and had no talent in magic wasn't someone worth paying attention to. In my impression, such a small fry should have suddenly appeared in the background while the music was playing. He should have screamed for two seconds as he was surrounded and beaten up by a group of hooligans. Then, he would be mercilessly labeled as "Shinji Jiatong's actor — an extra." Or, if I was in a good mood, I would arrange a silhouette of him dying alone on a street corner N years later. But I never expected that Shinji Jiatong, who should have been eliminated from the game, would appear before us like this, and even look suspiciously smug.
Hey, don't tell me that this bastard met an otherworldly expert disguised as a beggar the day before yesterday when he went out to buy porn and was taught the Fist Manual of the North Star Godly Fist and even allowed the T-virus to open up his conception and governing vessels! I would laugh to death if that happened!
"Shinji, you still haven't answered my question. Why are you here?"
Wei Gong clenched his fists and stared at the person in front of him. He had suddenly appeared here at this time, and the strangeness of the situation made him gradually raise his guard.
"Sigh, Wei Gong, you really aren't polite to your friends." The blue-haired youth sighed in a fake voice. "I've been waiting for you here since yesterday. It's a pity that you're already hiding in that woman's house. Originally, I planned to kill everyone here before going to wipe out the Motosa family and capture you and that detestable Motosa. I didn't expect that you would voluntarily come to me. As expected of my good friend."
"Did you attack the ordinary people here?!"
Wei Gong's voice instantly turned cold. At the same time, Artoria took a step forward and prepared to attack at any time.
Shinji Tong acted as if he didn't see such a threat. He only laughed contemptuously. "Hmph, what a senseless hypocrisy. But don't worry, they're just asleep. Now you should worry about yourself! Although I don't know how you hid that bitch Sakura and that traitor Rider, they will definitely appear if I kill you … "
“Saber！”
"Understood!"
The golden-haired girl abruptly swung the invisible sword in her hand, and her entire body turned into a silver stream of light as she shot towards the enemy in front of her. Even though she did not know what the enemy was relying on to be so fearless, it was obviously not a good idea to let the enemy stall for time. And so, under Wei Gong's signal, Artoria launched a sudden attack.
However, in the face of such a charge that was far beyond what a human could resist, Shinji Jatsuri, who should have been afraid of death, didn't show any signs of panic. Instead, he revealed a smug smile.
"Hah!" A tall figure suddenly appeared in the air and blocked in front of Artoria. In the face of the Knight King's fatal blow, the figure did not dodge, but instead swung the spear in his hand with all his might and attacked in a completely suicidal manner.
Ka-chak! With a crisp sound, the black spear did not cause any damage to Artoria. It was just a simple swing of the sword, and the spear was cut in half by the invisible sword. In the next instant, the tall figure that blocked Saber was also hit by the Knight King's charge, and was forced to take a dozen steps back before he could barely stand in front of Shinji Jatsuri.
In just one second of confrontation, the huge gap in strength was undoubtedly revealed.
"Heroic spirit? Spearman? " Even though she had the upper hand in the first round, Saber still cautiously gripped the holy sword and stared at the enemy in front of her.
It was a strong man who was 1.8 meters tall. However, three-fifths of his face was covered by a tall helmet with red tassels, making it impossible to see his face. The style of the helmet looked a little … Ugh, it was hard to tell. The man was wearing a full body armor. There were no iconic patterns on the armor. It looked like the standard equipment of some ordinary soldiers in the ancient army. In his left hand, he was holding a large oval shield wrapped in metal and leather. The shield was covered with deep and shallow marks of knives and axes. It was obvious that this warrior had been through life and death for countless years.
With such equipment, it didn't look like the Heroic Spirit of a spearman with super agility and combat ability, but more like an ordinary ancient infantryman. But the weapon he used was indeed a spear. It was no wonder that Saber was confused and hesitant when she confirmed the identity of the man.
The weapon in his hand was destroyed, and only half of the spear was left. But the Heroic Spirit in plate armor didn't panic. He calmly threw away the weapon in his hand, then grabbed a seven-foot-long metal javelin in the air, and got ready for combat.
"An excellent soldier," Artoria, who had led the army for many years, praised the calm soldier in front of him. "But as a Heroic Spirit, he's too weak."
That's right. Although the Heroic Spirit had sufficient combat awareness and bravery, it was an indisputable fact that the Heroic Spirit's energy intensity was far inferior to Saber's. In just a moment of contact, his weapon was broken and he was knocked back nearly ten meters. If this was the Heroic Spirit that Shinji Jiatō was relying on, then his brain had been occupied by Wang Zhihe's tofu.
The Infantryman, who was completely wrapped in plate armor, clenched the javelin in his hand and cautiously moved around Saber. Then, he suddenly raised his right hand and threw the seven-foot-long javelin at Saber!
Saber was slightly surprised by the enemy's sudden change to a long-range attack, but she immediately reacted. She raised her sword and knocked away the lightning fast javelin. Then, she exerted strength in her feet and rushed toward the enemy. At the same time, the enemy also pulled out a simple short sword from his waist and used the standard soldier's combat skills to fight against the aggressive blonde girl.
Standard ancient elite infantry tactics. Throwing, fighting, and blocking were all the most basic soldier's combat skills. They were simple and unadorned, and their power couldn't be compared to the ultimate skills of the great heroes. They just honed these simple movements thousands of times to form a fighting instinct, and then relied on a variety of combat methods to fight against the enemy. The nameless Heroic Spirit, who didn't even have a noble artifact or an ultimate skill, used such ordinary tactics to fight against the famous Knight King. The result was obvious. In just a few rounds of confrontation, Saber once again knocked away the Heroic Spirit's weapon. The next second, the thick oval shield was cut in half by the invisible holy sword. The next moment, Saber's attack was suddenly interrupted by another javelin.
"Whoosh!" With a sharp sound, the black javelin flew past the blonde girl's hair and pierced deep into the ground. Then, more sounds came from all directions, and I suddenly remembered Ilya's words:
"… Just to escape with Ilya … Berserker was seriously injured by a javelin …"
Could it be that the one who destroyed Ainz Belem was this strange Heroic Spirit?
As if to prove my guess, as waves of energy condensed, figures gradually appeared in the darkness around us. Tall and strong, fully armored infantrymen holding large oval shields and javelins revealed themselves as Shinji Jiatong laughed gleefully. Although there were slight differences in their physique and armor, it was easy to tell that these infantrymen belonged to the same army. They marched in orderly and cautious steps, and the infantrymen surged forward from all directions, instantly blocking all paths of retreat. Beneath their heavy helmets were pairs of calm and resolute eyes that reeked of blood. These infantrymen raised their heavy shields, which were covered in scars from swords and axes, in front of them, and simultaneously raised the javelins in their right hands.
"Now, as long as I give the order, all of you will die without a grave."
Shinji Katsuki proudly hid behind two tall infantrymen. His absolute advantage in numbers made him feel that victory was already within his grasp. "Hmph, I've already said this before. Since we already have such an ace card, we should use tactics that are as easy as crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood to defeat all the other magicians in one fell swoop. That old geezer is still so timid and afraid all day long that he's worried that others also have a similar ace card. How embarrassing … Hey! Wei Gong, how is it? Doesn't it feel good to be in despair? "
"Saber, this is …" Wei Gong's face was also covered in cold sweat. The feeling of being surrounded by hundreds of Heroic Spirits wasn't a pleasant one. Saber was currently holding onto her weapon as she cautiously looked around her surroundings. The auras coming from these enemies were undoubtedly Heroic Spirits, but what was with such a frightening number? Or rather, what kind of perverted magician could support the mana supply of so many Heroic Spirits at the same time?
The strength of the infantryman Heroic Spirit just now had already been proven in battle. In a head-on battle, he wouldn't even be able to withstand ten attacks from the Knight King. However, being surrounded by two hundred Heroic Spirits of this level, the qualitative change caused by the quantitative change was enough to reverse everything. They were all Heroic Spirits, and no matter how strong Saber was, there was no way for her to widen the gap between Heroic Spirits and ordinary people. Knowing this, Saber turned her eyes to Alien A and Alien B, who had been pretending to be onlookers from beginning to end.
Hey, it's time for you to do something, right?
Such a message came from the antenna of Ahoge in Artoria, echoing in my mind. It seemed that it was no longer appropriate to continue watching in this situation.
Because we had already become the target of the onlookers …
Around two hundred infantryman Heroic Spirits had about one-fifth the strength of an ordinary Heroic Spirit. They had great teamwork and were well-trained. They could achieve the effect of defeating powerful Heroic Spirits with numbers alone. It was almost certain that the mysterious enemy who had secretly spied on Emiya's residence that night was one of them. The destruction of Einz Bayren by the Heroic Spirit army that Ilya had mentioned was probably also their handiwork. Even though I didn't know how the Jiatsuri family managed to activate such a heaven-defying cheat, this phenomenon that was incompatible with the current world's rules was undoubtedly related to the distortion of Fate.
"Ha, a mere ordinary person is actually quite brave." Seeing me walk towards him, Shinji Jiatsuri couldn't help but take half a step back, but then he laughed out loud. "You should still be at a loss about what's happening before you … What?!"
It was just a casual pat, as if I was patting the shoulder of someone I knew. I lightly patted an infantryman Heroic Spirit who had stepped forward to stop me, and the latter instantly exploded into a bright ball of sparks.
Could an energy form fight against me?
"Wow! Ah Jun, you're awesome! Ah Jun, you can do it! " I almost fell to the ground when I heard such a voice from behind me that was purely causing me trouble. Sandora, it's fine if you're too lazy to make a move, but you should at least play the role of a spectator!
* Poof! * Poof! * Poof! * A series of soft thuds sounded continuously. At first, I was quite interested in destroying the infantryman Heroic Spirits one by one. However, when they took the initiative to organize their attacks, I couldn't even be bothered to move. I simply stood there and allowed them to attack. Every Heroic Spirit or the javelin they threw would be affected by my energy field and explode into bright flames when they got close to me. In an instant, it was as if fireworks were being set off in the Guardian Palace.
As a firework, I was under a lot of pressure.
"This … This is impossible!" It was an old-fashioned line, but Shinji Jiatsuri still shouted it out. He felt that his two-hundred-strong Heroic Spirit army had the upper hand, but when faced with this abnormal "ordinary person" in front of him, they simply turned into fireworks. The strangeness of the situation and the fear of impending defeat made him lose his voice. He even sounded like he was about to cry. "Stop! All of you idiots, stop! Hurry up and stop! "
The attacks stopped. There were already around fifty infantryman Heroic Spirits that had been destroyed by my energy field. However, the remaining hundred or so still maintained a tight and orderly formation, surrounding us layer by layer. It was as if the scene of them being killed like flies didn't happen at all. At this moment, even I was astonished. These soldiers were way too well-trained. It was as if they were robots that could shout the slogan "One, two, one" even in the face of an endless abyss. I had only seen such extreme military discipline from Schilling's soldiers before. These infantryman Heroic Spirits really opened my eyes.
However, it was a pity that these outstanding soldiers were all enemies.
"Alright, since all of you aren't going to attack, then it's my turn." The corners of my mouth twitched. I had already made up my mind that I wouldn't let a single one of them escape today. "Finger of Death!"
Accompanied by a shout that almost caused Sandora to choke to death, I suddenly extended my hand. A red lightning exploded from the tip of my index finger and struck an infantryman Heroic Spirit who didn't manage to react in time. The moment he raised his shield, he exploded into a huge ball of flames just like his predecessors.
"Magic Eye of Death!"
In my sight, two infantrymen turned into fireworks.
"Tsukuyomi: Amaterasu!" "Hisashi Orochi!" "Super Railgun!" "Positron Siege Cannon!" "Big Dipper Emotionless Punch!" "Light Wave!"
"Er, what is Chen doing?"
Dumbfounded, Saber watched someone use a bunch of flashy but powerful skills to reap the lives of the strange soldiers. The Ahoge on Saber's head turned in a circle, then touched Shadora next to her and asked in a low voice.
"I don't know." Her Majesty the Queen closed her eyes. "Because I didn't see anything!"
"Then …" Wei Gong was stunned for a moment. Then, he shrugged at his Servant. "Let's pretend we didn't see anything."
At the same time, as the number of Heroic Spirits he brought decreased under the strange attacks, and his own attacks didn't even manage to harm a single hair on the enemy's body, Shinji Jiatsura's face turned pale. His legs trembled, and he no longer had the arrogant expression he had at the beginning. Beads of sweat the size of beans slid down his head as another infantryman Heroic Spirit turned into ashes under the "Go to hell with your Pegasus Meteor Punch".
"Don't … Don't come over …"
There were less than ten fully intact infantrymen left by his side. Shinji Jiatsura's mental state was on the verge of collapse. He stumbled backward while pushing the infantrymen around him forward. "I admit defeat! I surrender! Don't kill me! "
"Of course." I stopped and suddenly flashed a bright smile. "Of course I won't kill you, and from now on, I won't hurt a single hair on your body."
Shinji Jiatsura, Shiro Wei Gong, and even Artoria froze on the spot. They looked at me in disbelief. After being stunned for a few seconds, Shinji Jiatsura suddenly looked ecstatic. "Re … Really? You can really let me go? "
"Well, I just think it's better to hand you over to someone else."
I shrugged, and as soon as I said that, there was a sharp whistling sound in the air. Uh, don't worry, it wasn't a landing pod this time.
A pitch-black chain pierced through the air and appeared out of nowhere. The sharp blade tied to the tip of the chain reflected waves of cold light under the moonlight as it attacked the infantryman closest to me.
The latter's reaction wasn't slow. The moment the chain sword appeared, he raised the shield in his hand. After a crisp 'ding', the sharp blade pierced deeply into the round shield that was wrapped in leather and metal.
However, this beautiful block only allowed him to relax for less than a second. In the next second, starting from the spot where the shield was hit, an explosion of ice-blue crystals rapidly spread out.
Like an infection, the infantryman who blocked the attack was quickly covered in a layer of crystal that kept growing. In less than ten seconds, the brave soldier turned into a sparkling, ice-blue crystal statue.
Saber, who was next to Sandora, immediately covered her right arm subconsciously. She seemed to have seen this thing before!
* Plop! * A tall purple-haired woman landed lightly in front of me. She was holding a chain sword in her hands as her weapon. Her ankle-length hair fluttered in the night wind, and strands of blue-white crystal hair emitted a mysterious and distant light.
“Rider！！” Shinji Jiatsura's voice was almost distorted. He raised his hands hysterically and roared, "You traitor, as expected … as expected, you sided with Wei Gong! Hahaha! You traitor!! Have you finally appeared before me!? "
"It's not just me, human," the tall purple-haired woman said quietly. "My master is more willing to display her new power here, with you as the first whetstone."
