Start a Core Pod Chapter 775

Chapter 775 Winter Forest

 Night falls.

The entire Fuyuki City was completely silent, as if a curfew had been imposed. From time to time, you can see police cars whizzing by on patrol. Apart from that, this city, which was originally deserted, looks even more deserted.

Duanmuhuai is also having a meeting with everyone to discuss the current situation.

“From the current point of view, this Holy Grail War should be Singularity Point F, but something went wrong.”

 Duanmu Huai knocked on the table.

"question?"

"Yes, I finally understand why we went to the Fourth Holy Grail War before. From a certain perspective, it is obvious that the Fourth Holy Grail War should be related to this Holy Grail War. In other words, the Fourth Holy Grail War The Holy Grail War had some influence that led to the start of the Fifth Holy Grail War.”

Duanmuhuai spread his hands, and Medea nodded.

"Indeed, if you look at it from this perspective, we changed the direction of the Fourth Holy Grail War, so it had an impact on the original Fifth Holy Grail War... For example, Sakura, if we had not rescued Sakura, then She should stay at Matou's house now.”

 “But now the Matou family has disappeared.”

Irisviel spoke.

“I went to see it before and found that Matou's land has been sold to others. According to the information I heard, the Matou family left Fuyuki City after the end of the Fourth Holy Grail War.”

“However, the timeline chose to repair it, just like the Great Holy Grail that had been disintegrated.”

Ma Xiu also frowned and looked at Duanmuhuai.

“MASTER, are you still unable to enter the Great Hollow?”

“The other party brought the Great Holy Grail from another timeline, and there's nothing I can do about it. This is not my area of ​​expertise.”

Duanmuhuai shrugged his shoulders. If he were a being like Yog-Sothoth or the Lord of Tindalos who could manipulate time, there might be a way. Unfortunately, none of Duanmuhuai's priesthoods were related to time. Of course he could. Use the power of the God of Destruction to destroy that space, but who knows whether this will have an irreversible impact on this singularity.

 Timeline fixing is a big problem because it doesn't necessarily follow logic. Just like what Duanmu Huai said, according to historical development, as long as Chaldea is finally built. Whether it was made by Animusfia or El-Melloi, it's all a matter of small details. So the same is true for the Holy Grail War. Obviously, through this repair method, the timeline is trying to make this Holy Grail War "in line with historical records". As long as the final result is consistent, then the middle will be all small sections.

 However, for Duanmuhuai and others, it is these "little details" that cause them headaches. Because they don't know what the original outcome of the fifth Holy Grail War in history was. Although the Singularity F has shown that the Holy Grail War led to the destruction of human history and turned heroic spirits such as SABER and BERSERKER into black bodies, but Exactly how this situation evolved is unknown.

 Furthermore, the CASTER encountered at Singularity Point F has now become a LANCER...

 Is this a distortion from the past? Or is it a correction from the future?

 Frankly speaking, this is really a problem.

As for the actions of other masters, it seems that the masters of SABER and ARCHER have joined forces to investigate the disappearance. This is normal. After all, this land nominally belongs to the Tohsaka family. Tohsaka Rin naturally has the responsibility to investigate the matter. As for how she pulled the master of SABER on board, no one knows.

But since they are willing to investigate, it is naturally a good thing for Duanmu Huai. It is also a good thing to ask Medea to send her familiar to follow them, just in case the two blind cats encounter any clues, isn't it also a good thing?

 “Then, next…”

Just when Duanmuhuai was about to formulate the next battle plan, Irisviel suddenly trembled and stood up.

"What's wrong?"

"MASTER, that child... Illya is in danger!"

 “Illya?”

Hearing this name, Duanmuhuai recalled it.

 “Your daughter from another timeline?”

"Yes...she has encountered a difficult enemy now, and BERSERKER is no match for her..."

As she spoke, Irisviel looked at Duanmuhuai with a somewhat complicated expression. Although she also knew that her request might be a bit excessive, but... no matter what, she didn't want to see Illya. Just killed.

 “Who is fighting her?”

 “It's the ARCHER of the Tohsaka family.”

“Tohsaka? Isn't that guy investigating the city?”

"not him."

 Irisviel shook her head.

“It was summoned by the Tohsaka family during the Fourth Holy Grail War…”

“Isn't that **** dead?”

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai suddenly remembered the yellow-haired monster he fought with. He was very sure that he had pulled out the guy's head and smashed it directly. How could he survive?

 Or is it that the correction of the timeline summoned Huang Mao from another timeline?

 Forget it, it doesn't matter.

"let's go!"

Duanmu Huai also stood up at this moment and made a decisive decision.

 No matter which timeline he was on, he would kill that **** every time he saw it!

 In Einzbern's castle, the battle has reached a fever pitch.

 The dark, huge figure rushed forward without fear. It stood in front of the girl who was trembling with fear, and launched a violent attack on the enemy in front of it.

 However, the attack of this huge figure had no effect, and countless noble phantoms shone across the battlefield and penetrated its body. Nailing it to the ground again and again. However, BERSERKER remained fearless and rushed forward. It roared and waved the stone ax in its hand, knocking away the weapons that were shot at it, roaring and leaping up, rushing towards the figure of the blond man standing not far away.

 But that's it.

Chains appeared out of thin air and tightly wrapped around the giant's body, preventing him from further action. Dozens of sharp blades fell from the sky, completely turning it into a silent stone statue. I saw the giant slowly lowered his head, and then - turned into light particles and disappeared into the air.

  “BERSERKER……”

　　The girl murmured to herself as she watched her servant disappear blankly.

 “Don't… BERSERKER!”

 While shouting, the girl ran towards her servant. Looking at this scene, the man sneered, then raised the long sword in his hand towards the girl, and then swung it down suddenly.

"boom!"

 Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of the girl and blocked the man's attack. Irisviel gritted her teeth, raised her hands, and the silver thread turned into a shield, blocking the swinging blade.

"oh--?"

Seeing Irisviel in front of him, the blond man showed a surprised expression, but just when he opened his mouth to say something, suddenly the ceiling suddenly shattered and exploded, and then Duanmu Huai fell from the sky like a meteorite and rushed towards the blond man. past.

 “Go to hell, you filthy bastard!”

 “Insolent maniac!”

Hearing Duanmuhuai's roar, the blond man immediately raised his head, murderous intent spreading in his scarlet eyes. Several sharp blades flew out from behind him and stabbed Duanmu Huai in the air - for the latter, he couldn't even dodge at this moment and could only watch these weapons being fired at him.

but………

 “Cang!”

The weapon that was enough to penetrate the servant and kill it was not even able to leave a single scratch on Duanmuhuai's power armor, and was directly bounced away.

“How is that possible?” Seeing this scene, the blond man's eyes widened in surprise, and at the same time, Duanmu Huai had already arrived in front of him.

“Your junk means nothing to me, you lowly bastard! Prepare to face your own death!”

 “Be bold!”

The blond man obviously had no intention of giving up just like that. As he shouted, the chains that had previously restrained the black giant burst out again and wrapped around Duanmu Huai's limbs. However, unlike the black giant, Duanmu Huai grabbed the chain with his backhand, and then pulled hard suddenly. The dark flames instantly ignited, turning the chain wrapped around his body into pieces.

 “This piece of trash wants to stop me too, it's just wishful thinking!”

 “How dare you speak of my king's…”

At this moment, the blond man's anger was beyond the sky - but it was meaningless.

 Duanmu Huai punched the blond man in the face, directly shattering the blond man's cheek bones. His face, which was barely visible at first, was sunken under Duanmu Huai's blow. Several teeth flew out of the blond man's open mouth, and scattered into the air together with the squeezed eyeballs.

 But this is just the beginning.

 “Euler!”

The next punch was to the chest. The ribs were directly targeted and turned backwards. The blond man's body bowed like a shrimp. Even his spine could not withstand such a degree of impact and was exposed from his back. The broken rib fragments penetrated directly through the blond man's body.

 “Euler!”

 The next punch is to the lower abdomen, shoulders, arms, and head.

 "Eulaoolaoolaoolaoulao!!"

　　The violent bombardment struck the blond man's body, tearing his skin, breaking his bones, piercing his muscles, and smashing his internal organs. Under Duanmu Huai's continuous bombardment, the blond man didn't even have the strength to resist, swinging back and forth like a punching bag practicing boxing. His skull was completely cracked, his face had collapsed like a pit, and his limbs had been smashed. Broken, simple bones would not be able to block Duanmu Huai's iron fist.

 “Euler————!”

Finally, Duanmu Huai clenched his right hand and punched through the blond man's chest. In the palm of his right hand, he held the blond man's beating heart.

"Um?"

However, Duanmuhuai tilted his head in confusion.

“The feeling of playing this time seems to be a little better than last time?”

 It's just that Duanmuhuai's questions end here.

 “I hope you can make me play better next time.”

After saying this, Duanmu Huai didn't even look at the blond man. He clenched his right hand and crushed his heart. Then Duanmu Huai let out a loud shout, and the muscles in his right hand bulged and trembled suddenly, and then When he saw the body of the blond man, he was suddenly smashed to pieces like a piece of rag, torn into pieces and scattered everywhere.

Looking at the scene in front of her, the girl opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but the next moment, her eyes darkened and she fainted.

 “Is she okay?”

Duanmu Huai walked over and glanced at the girl. Irisviel shook her head.

“It's okay, it's just because of the excessive consumption of magic power and the blow.”

“That's okay, let's take her back first and then we'll talk about it.”

"OK."

 For Duanmuhuai, this matter has come to an end.

 But the late night battle did not end there.

 “What on earth are you...?”

Tohsaka Rin gritted his teeth, endured the pain and stood up from the ground, staring at the servant opposite, who was silent and just stared at her.

The attack was expected by Tohsaka Rin. She joined forces with the master of SABER and ran around Fuyuki City, trying to find the mastermind behind the disappearance. In Tohsaka Rin's opinion, this must have been done by the Master or a Servant, and no matter what, as the manager of this land, she would never let go of this kind of behavior.

 Originally, Tohsaka Rin thought that relying on his ARCHER and the opposite SABER would be enough to fight even if he encountered an enemy, but this was not the case.

 In just one meeting, SABER, the main combat force, was defeated... No, Tohsaka Rin was not even sure what happened to her. Because she only saw something suddenly appear from the shadow, and the next moment, SABER didn't even have time to struggle, and she was swallowed up silently along with her Master, while she was saved by ARCHER and hurriedly escaped. .

 This servant itself is not difficult to deal with, but...why? Why is there such an ominous premonition?

Just when Rin was thinking about how to deal with the enemy, ARCHER suddenly spoke without looking back.

 “Leave this to me and evacuate immediately.”

 “ARCHER?”

"The other party is not an enemy we can deal with now. You can feel it, too, that powerful magic power..."

Tosaka Rin gritted her teeth and said nothing. Of course she knew what ARCHER meant. They were now trapped in this office building, and the other party had also set up a barrier. They were completely trapped. In addition, there is the strange black shadow that can even swallow the servants...

"careful!"

At this moment, Tohsaka Rin suddenly heard ARCHER's voice, and the next moment she was pushed away by ARCHER. At this time, Tohsaka Rin was surprised to find that a black tentacle like a belt was coming towards her from the side. It's coming, and it's about to penetrate ARCHER's body——!

 “Bang bang bang!”

However, at this moment, a series of gunshots suddenly rang out. The shining bullets shattered the glass and concrete walls, and the ribbon-like black shadow also shattered and exploded. For a time, the whole room was filled with Smoke and dust covered the field of vision like a smoke bomb.

 “Woo…!”

Tohsaka Rin instinctively raised his hand, but at this moment, a hand suddenly appeared and grabbed Tohsaka Rin's arm. At the same time, a voice that Tohsaka Rin did not expect appeared in her ears.

 “Let's go!”

Hearing this voice, Tohsaka Rin was stunned for a moment, but she also knew that now was not the time to hesitate, so she hurriedly followed the instructions and retreated.

Then, Tohsaka Rin felt as if his body was immersed in cold sea water and trembled suddenly.

When she opened her eyes again, she found that she had left the weird office just now and came to a nearby mountain, and ARCHER was holding double blades in front of her.

At this moment, Tohsaka Rin also breathed a sigh of relief, and then she turned her head and looked at the girl behind her—also her sister.

 “Thank you, Sakura.”
