Chapter 165: Heroes Can't Get Cold
Archer felt very panicked.
Although there is no need to meet Gilgamesh, Lancer as a substitute will only be more terrifying. At least the King of Heroes has always been careless, but Lancer will always show the most serious attitude.
"It's Karna, hell..."
Archer's crimson coat had already been half destroyed by the burning flames, he extinguished the activity on it casually, and sighed deeply.
Just relying on this golden armor, Karna is enough to defeat any enemy with technology and strength. In terms of the power of the Noble Phantasm, since he deliberately reduced the power just now, and only aimed at his own liberation, it is so terrible. The sword is not something to be surprised about either.
And that God's Spear that is said to be able to kill everything, Archer felt that his pressure was getting bigger and bigger.
This is an enemy that is absolutely impossible to fight from a realistic point of view.
Kotomine Kirei will definitely not show up after the attack, and he may not even stay in the church. Therefore, can he only consider attacking Karna positively?
After realizing that the opponent had no intention of continuing to pursue, Archer leaned against the wall, slid down slowly, and sat down along the corner.
He couldn't maintain the original indifferent expression on his face, he grinned and tore off the holy shroud on his body, there was already a large scorched black mark on his abdomen, and even the flesh and blood turned black and red mixed colors, Exudes a bad smell.
Archer couldn't feel the sensation there anymore, and he couldn't see any improvement in the injury with his lame healing magic.
"It hurts..."
Therefore, he had no choice but to wrap the wound with a holy shroud to prevent it from getting worse, but the intense pain still distorted Arhcer's face.
He let out a long sigh of relief after the last lap was wrapped.
Archer's back was covered with cold sweat. He couldn't feel the pressure of life and death without confronting Karna in person. This is the case when he is not close to him. I can't imagine fighting him in close combat. How long can I last.
The injuries on his body were the aftermath of the liberation of Karna's Noble Phantasm. Thinking of this, Archer felt lingering fear.
If not for the distance between them,
If it weren't for his blazing seven-fold ring, which is a concept weapon with specialized defense against throwing weapons, facing this treasure at close range, he would definitely die without a place to die.
"From this point of view, we can only leave it to Saber."
Archer stood up again and said relaxedly.
Karna is indeed terrifying, but the Noble Phantasm that he must kill is restrained by Saber. As long as the scabbard is there, Saber is invincible. As long as Saber entangles him, he will kill Kotomine Kirei Enough.
This is his best tactic to help Kiritsugu win.
The premise is...he still wants to help Emiya Kiritsugu win.
Judging from the fact that the summoning of the command spell was rejected before, the gap between the two has already been put on the surface.
Then, there is no need for him to pretend to be a gentleman.
Emiya Kiritsugu has been stunned, and now he is not the father that Archer knew at all, but more like himself after his hope was shattered. Although his wish is very tempting, but under the condition that the Holy Grail has been polluted, he cannot But that's all.
Even if he really told Kiritsugu his origin and revealed the truth about the Holy Grail, the other party probably wouldn't believe it.
So, take the initiative.
Archer jumped down from the tall building, turned into a spirit form, and walked through the night.
He decided to give up this Holy Grail War.
Again, it takes a lot of effort and sacrifice to become the winner of the Holy Grail War, but it is much easier to destroy her.
The simplest point is to directly destroy the Little Holy Grail.
Before the Great Holy Grail is summoned, destroy the Lesser Holy Grail, and this Holy Grail War will end indiscriminately.
The easiest way to destroy the Little Holy Grail is to kill Irisviel. Of course, Archer will definitely not do this, but it is not difficult to do this. It is nothing more than cutting off the soul stored in Irisviel's body from her. Contact, just destroy the skills of the Lesser Holy Grail.
Archer knows the Noble Phantasm that can do this.
After the Holy Grail War is over, with the help of the ability to act alone, he will dismantle the Great Holy Grail in that big hole, and everything will be over.
Now, there is only one problem.
Irisviel, where are you?
In terms of finding people, Archer is not particularly outstanding, so he can only use stupid methods.
Unlike Illya, Irisviel's skill as the Little Holy Grail is not outstanding, according to Kiritsugu's estimation, at most three heroic spirits will be completely unconscious.
After more heroic spirits are stored by her, it is inevitable that there will be abnormalities in the accumulation of magic power. Archer can still find a way to find such abnormal areas.
In other words, the original plan remains unchanged, continue to hunt and kill the rest of the masters?
As if realizing something, Archer's eyes narrowed slightly, and the cynical smile on his face was completely put away.
Killing one more Master is the time to betray Emiya Kiritsugu.
When the time comes, what kind of expression will that man show?
Archer tried to force a mocking smile, but found that he couldn't make such an expression at all.
To betray Emiya Kiritsugu, to betray the ideal that he has steadfastly adhered to all his life, is a very heavy matter for him, to destroy those who sacrificed and paid for him, and those treasured pasts.
However, people have to look forward after all, and they have to atone for the past all their lives, so Emiya Kiritsugu shouldn't have ended up like this.
He should have enjoyed a peaceful and exciting life, and finally died surrounded by his daughter and wife.
Archer shuttled at the intersection, watching the passing vehicles with dull eyes. Because of the recent martial law, there are very few cars on the road, but this does not affect the continued operation of the city's skills.
In the state of spiritual body, the car and other people will not affect Archer, but after falling into memories and struggles, Archer still stands in front of the traffic lights, stopping in accordance with his previous habits.
He stared blankly at the still little man under the stopped red light.
Kiritsugu was right, he was a naive and weak guy.
In order to help some people and choose to kill others, I will still continue this naive heroic path, but this time it is not for a great goal such as saving the world, but just to make the people around me happy.
Thinking of the scenes of being with Kiritsugu and Irisviel in Einzbern Castle, Archer's empty eyes were filled with something warm.
He always made the wrong choice, and this time it might be wrong.
However, after breaking away from the guardian state, the narcissistic and arrogant righteous hero who was once killed by Archer himself was resurrected, and he couldn't stop.
Because heroes can't just run away.
This is true even if it is just a hero who belongs to the family.
'Ding--'
The neon light jumped to the green light sign, illuminating the walking figure.
Archer transformed from a spiritual body into a real body, walked forward without any hesitation, and whispered as if talking to himself.
"It's time to go."
(There are two more)
