Chapter 774 Ominous movement (starting 2077 again)

For Tohsaka Rin, this was also a difficult night.

Sakura…………

His sister had been missing for eleven years and finally appeared in front of him again. The only thing that made Tohsaka Rin feel at ease was that, at least on the surface, Sakura did not seem to have been abused, and her reactions were normal. . Although he said that he wanted to prevent himself from winning the Holy Grail War, he did not show that he would do anything at all... All in all, it seems that Sakura should have lived a good life these years.

This somewhat relieved Tohsaka Rin. In any case, at least it seemed that Sakura's life was not so cruel and painful. From the look of her, she seemed to be living a pretty good life. Of course, Tohsaka Rin also knew that this was just self-comfort, but it at least made her feel more at ease. Although she also hoped to communicate with Sakura as soon as possible, there was still a thorny problem in front of her.

"ARCHER."

After finishing breakfast, Tohsaka Rin immediately summoned ARCHER and asked.

"You fought with a servant last night, right? Do you know what class the other party is?"

"………………"

Facing Tohsaka Rin's inquiry, ARCHER's expression was a little subtle.

"Class... maybe ASSASSIN?"

"ASSASSIN? Why probably?"

"Because the opponent had no breath before attacking me, it is almost certain that it must be the breath blocking unique to the ASSASSIN class."

"What about the rest?"

"...If you want to say it, the opponent's servant's weapon...is very rare."

"Oh? A very rare weapon? Is it a Noble Phantasm?"

Hearing this, Tohsaka Rin suddenly became energetic. The rarer the treasure, the more able he is to determine the identity of the opponent.

"I'm not sure because it was a gun."

"Gun? So it's like a LANCER?"

"It's not the kind of gun you think of, Rin."

Hearing Tohsaka Rin's question, ARCHER shook his head, then he raised his right hand, raised his thumb and index finger, and aimed at Tohsaka Rin.

"It's this kind of gun."

"……………Why?"

I have to say, this really stunned Tohsaka Rin.

"You mean... that heroic spirit used modern weapons?"

At this moment, Tohsaka Rin felt as if his brain was a little unable to turn around, and he even wondered if ARCHER was playing a trick on him. However, the latter's expression was very serious, and it didn't look like he was joking at all.

"Strictly speaking, it doesn't look like a modern weapon... In short, the firearms used by the opponent are extremely powerful..."

Having said this, ARCHER also gasped. He has never seen such a domineering and terrifying gun attack. The opponent came up with a barrage of fire, which almost made ARCHER run away. Although logically speaking, ARCHER is also good at long-range attacks, but The arrows fired one after another are obviously not comparable to fully automatic firearms in terms of speed and power.

Otherwise, firearms would not make bows and arrows obsolete, so it is understandable that ARCHER would run away after being beaten. The time it takes for you to shoot an arrow, the other party will beat you into a sieve. If you don't run away, won't you die?

"Is there such a heroic spirit?"

Hearing ARCHER's answer, Tohsaka Rin was also confused.

"Are you sure that's its Noble Phantasm?"

"I'm sure that if the bullets fired by ordinary firearms are used, it would be impossible to cause harm to us as heroic spirits. The only flaw of the opponent is probably that the shooting range is relatively short, making it impossible to shoot at long distances."

In this regard, ARCHER still has the advantage, but it is not completely dominant, because his opponent is ASSASSIN. If ARCHER tries to fly a kite from a distance, the opponent will disappear immediately, and then find a way to close the distance again to fight. But if ARCHER doesn't keep its distance, it's going to be a hail of bullets.

I have to say that Archer was also very frustrated in the battle last night.

"In other words, ASSASSIN itself has average combat power, but its Noble Phantasm is very strong?"

Tohsaka Rin thought for a while, and realized that there were no such heroic spirits, but heroic spirits using modern weapons were indeed very rare. After all... Generally speaking, no one in this era can perform feats comparable to heroic spirits.

"That's pretty much it. After all, ASSASSIN was originally the weakest combatant among the servants. If it weren't for the fact that the opponent's firearms were really tricky, I wouldn't have chosen to retreat."

ARCHER was a little reluctant when he said this. As he said, logically speaking, modern weapons cannot harm heroic spirits at all. Even if you hit them with a missile, it will be the same, because heroic spirits are still ghosts after all, and using physical means to deal with ghosts is putting the cart before the horse.

However, it would be terrifying if the missile had the power to cause damage to heroic spirits.

This is why firearms and tanks will eliminate bows and cavalry. Heroic spirits should be considered an exception...

"It seems really tricky..."

After hearing ARCHER's answer, Tohsaka Rin gritted her teeth. She was not an idiot. After listening to ARCHER's explanation, I immediately understood Sakura's tactics. It was obvious that the opponent was a very orthodox heroic spirit versus heroic spirit, magician versus magician tactic.

But this is very abnormal for Sakura, because her servant is ASSASSIN, and ASSASSIN is usually used to assassinate the master. So Sakura's fighting method is obviously abnormal, but this is good, after all, this way Tohsaka Rin can concentrate on dealing with his sister...

But I can’t beat it!

Thinking of this, Tohsaka Rin also had a headache and hugged his head.

Imaginary number attribute, this thing is so rare that there is no record in the book, so Tohsaka Rin doesn't know how to deal with it.

In the continent of Faerûn, Tohsaka Rin is an evocation mage. She is not afraid of direct spell confrontation, but is afraid of weird things like illusion, enchantment or prophecy... But Sakura is the one. Belongs to this type.

From last night's fight, Tohsaka Rin could tell that his sister was not the kind of magician who talks on paper and works behind closed doors. Not only was she rich in practical experience, but she was also very comfortable in the application of magic. If his father could see Sakura now, he would definitely admire her greatly.

"Why……………"

Thinking of his father, Tohsaka Rin sighed silently again.

Although as a magician, she doesn't think her father did anything wrong, but... Sakura may never forgive her father in her lifetime.

"MASTER."

Just when Tohsaka Rin was having complicated thoughts, ARCHER's voice sounded again.

"Although I don't want to say it, it's almost time for school."

"Ah, crap!"

Tohsaka Rin came back to his senses, glanced at the clock, jumped up from the table, and rushed toward the door in a hurry.

"Let's go, ARCHER!"

For the citizens of Fuyuki City, everything is business as usual.

No one noticed the battle that took place last night. On the one hand, the battlefield was outside the church far away from the city. On the other hand, the Holy Church covered up the battle. As for the cemetery destroyed by the battle between SABER and BERSERKER, it was The name of the gas explosion fooled the past.

Well, the gas company in Fuyuki City might have gone bankrupt long ago.

Duanmuhuai also took others around Fuyuki City for a day, but still found nothing.

"Currently, the only ones that can be determined are SABER, ARCHER and BERSERKER. CASTER has been killed by us. What Sakura has in her hands is either RIDER or ASSASSIN..."

As for why it wasn't LANCER, the reason is very simple, that is, the battle between ARCHER and LANCER at the beginning was not only seen by Sakura, but also by Duanmu Huai and the others. After that, the location of LANCER was locked and determined to be inside the church.

"It seems we have to wait until night."

After going around in a circle, Duanmuhuai found nothing, so he had no choice but to wait for night to fall again. Unlike the Fourth Holy Grail War, this time the Master and Servants are all rats and do not go out until night.

only………

"Something feels wrong."

Standing on the top of the high-rise building, overlooking the Fuyuki City in front of him, Duanmu Huai frowned. His intuition felt a strange danger, as if something was spreading in the city. The aura seemed to be there, even a little familiar, but because it was too weak, Duanmu Huai couldn't connect it for a while.

"Lord Knight."

"MASTER."

At this moment, other people came back one after another, but their expressions were very ugly.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Just now we saw the news on TV in the shopping street, saying that someone was missing."

"Missing? When did it happen?"

"Yesterday evening, many girls who were said to be returning home from school were not able to return home. There were dozens of missing people."

"Did CASTER do it?"

"No, the magic of Liudong Temple comes from the office space in the new development zone. CASTER absorbs the energy of men, not the power of girls."

"Where's the school?"

"The Master of ARCHER goes to school there, but she doesn't seem to notice anything unusual. I went to inquire just now, and it seems that because of the disappearance, the school has decided to stop all extracurricular activities today and go home immediately after school."

"There is such a thing..."

Duanmuhuai frowned and thought, then he looked at Lorena, Matthew, Irisviel and Medea in turn.

"Did you find nothing last night? Nothing unusual?"

"………………"

The four of them looked at each other and shook their heads.

"I see."

Duanmuhuai also made a decision at this moment.

"From now on, everyone will monitor the students who come home from school to see if there is anything unusual. As for the other masters, Medea and Irisviel can just put a few familiars to watch."

"MASTER, do you think this is the work of a servant?"

Ma Xiu also asked, while Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders.

"I'm not sure. Anyway, I have a bad feeling. Let's take a look first and then talk about it."

Then, he replied.
