My Upgrades Are Invincible - Chapter 143
A large laser shot from beside me and Emiya had to dive and roll across the ground as the fully powered laser shot through the hillside, I knocked him off of, making him land in the wide-open area of the destroyed shrine.
“Well… I don’t recognize you from my life or when I was summoned in other grail wars.” Emiya said dryly and I had to give it to the man. I literally just cut off and threw his arm into my space ring, but he stood up with his back straight and already magically projected Kanshou, a black short one-handed Dao sword.
Pity, with only one arm he would likely only summon one so there was little point in trying to seal Kanshou and Byakuya, his preferred Noble Phantasm, that came as a pair.
I shrugged at his words. “Yes, well a man who becomes a Servant in this modern age with the decline of magic, will certainly have someone know of them… That’s how you reach the Throne of Hero’s after all.”
Honestly, I was curious about who was the Archer Servant in Archer Emiya’s prime timeline before he became what he was… Or was it a, which came first the chick or egg scenario?
“Hmph. Well either way, I have my duty and you will not get to the grail without going over my cold corpse.” He said gruffy and I nodded understanding his point devotion he had for Artoria despite the corruption he underwent by this tainted grail.
“That was the plan in essence… Berserker, come down here and fight with me so the casters can work their magic.” I called out and as Emiya dashed at me with the goal of eliminating me from the board, Tamamo’s battle call of a screeching meow and howl answered his charge and my sword collided with his sword and despite his sword getting a decent crack upon it. I knew with how he projected copies of his sword’s that even destroying them was worthless unless I was able to land a blow with destroying the blade but doing so would leave me vulnerable.
I was proven correct as after I shattered one of his swords, several dozen swords formed inside the air and Emiya spoke. “Sword Barrel Full… Locked Shoot!” The swords in the air began to glow red and I deadpanned as I space skipped from the crater that was made from the swords colliding and exploding violently when they smashed into the ground.
As soon as I came out of my space skip, I heard a loud crash as Emiya proved to be physically stronger than Tamamo and kicked the fox girl hard enough she made a literal sonic boom and was sent past the people hiding behind Mash.
“Hound of the Red Plains! Take his Heart! Hrunting!” Emiya yelled and a blinding red light was shot at me, and my instincts screamed to get the fuck out of dodge so I instantly space skipped again despite its great mana cost and as I turned to get my position, I saw thew red arrow made a split ninety degree turn towards me only losing a minuscule part of its speed.
I quickly space skipped again feeling the sheer mana filling the deadly arrow and recalled that what specifically he shot at me.
“Hrunting, is cheating!’ I screamed franticly space skipping the bullshit conceptual arrow as it pierced where I was previously each time I teleported and continued to chase.
“I got him Jake!” Cu yelled triumphantly and the air filled with mana as he chanted. “Burn it all up, giant of the trees… Wiker Man!” When called upon the Wicker Man, the surroundings were filled with fire, and I saw both Olga and Fujimaru grasp onto Mash due to the insane heat even with them not being the target at all. Finally, Cu’s Noble Phantasm took effect and a large wooden golem formed that towered easily five stories high, and with Emiya still aiming at me to skewer me with Hrunting, he was easily grabbed by the golem and as its chest opened up the Archer was thrown inside.
“Hah!” Cu yelled triumphantly and with Hrunting fading away and no longer chasing me I was able to throw it into my space ring and no longer fade away. I watched as with Cu’s triumphant roar the golem tittered over and violently smashed into the ground that had become molten from the wooden golems heat.
A massive conflagration was born as the Golem self-destructed creating a massive, condensed fire pillar that acted like a blast furnace and Emiya didnt even get a chance to scream as he was burnt away into nothingness.
Well so much for getting his body… But then again, I cant put sentient things into my ring and Servants fade away as they die unlike how I could destroy the brain of Demons to stuff there remains into my ring.
I sighed and somehow Olga managed to sneak over and tried to support me by holding my arm without me feeling her approach.
“You did well… Are you alright?’ Olgas asked quietly as she led me to sit down for a minute as Nero complained to Cu for stealing the limelight.
“I am exhausted from the constant little teleportation’s and my nerves are shot from avoiding that tracking Noble Phantasm. Teleportation is the most mana intensive thing I have in my repertoire honestly so it’s mind numbing after overuse.” I answered and closing my eyes to rest my over stressed senses and I almost flipped out as Olga pulled my shoulders down and my head landed with a soft thump within her soft lap.
“We are taking a short break! Our main combat force is exhausted due to your negligence and inability to help him in close combat.” Olga announced almost snootily but I could tell she was just covering up her embarrassment even if I couldn’t see her face past her decent handful sized breast’s hovering over my face.
