Just as Fili said, there are so many ways to recognize each other, and there is no need to write at all. Ash only needs to show a heart sword without hurting Sword Lady, and Sword Lady will immediately realize who the starlight body in front of her is.
Although this will break the virtual wings, due to the secret poison of hell, the virtual wings have become a renewable resource for Ash. Breaking a virtual wing in exchange for Sword Girl to join the team is simply a more cost-effective sacrifice.
But is it really useful to add Fiora?
Ash just glanced at the scene, and there were more than a thousand people gathered around him. As expected, the magicians in the world should not be underestimated. Many magicians realized that since the first Holy Grail scene would appear, there would definitely be a second one. Although they could compete earlier if they went in, they might also get a chance if they went later. Therefore, there must be many magicians who waited for the second red door to appear. They realized that there would definitely be fewer magicians at the second Holy Grail scene, and the competition would be less intense, so they all came in.
Facing thousands of enemies and having to protect Fili, armed confrontation is obviously the worst option, and running away is the right answer. Since the battle phase should be reduced as much as possible, the role of the sword princess is greatly compressed.
But one more teammate means one more protection. It is obviously unreasonable not to recognize Fiora for this reason.
The more important reason is that Ash is afraid that he will fail.
There were too many factors that could lead to failure. Being surrounded and attacked by thousands of magicians, it was only reasonable for Ash and Fili to die without a burial place. More importantly, what if a demon came in?
As long as the Holy Grail has not been condensed and as long as there are magicians following, the demon is invincible in this angel hunt.
Ash was not afraid that Sword Lady would die while protecting him, but that Sword Lady would not be able to protect him.
If Fiora died, it would only damage his soul, but if he died, he might be really dead. If they hadn't recognized each other, Fiora might think that it was just Ash's bad luck, but if they recognized each other, Fiora tried her best to protect him, but he still died in front of Fiora, what would Fiora think?
When Weisser turned into a silver lamp before his eyes, Ash knew what that felt like.
So when Vichy started to fight alongside him and even became his companion, Ash was both happy and painful.
Even though he reviewed the situation afterwards and realized that Vichy was actually a troublemaker in the end of the forest, and that Visser would still be forced to the same end by the three gods regardless of her presence or absence, and even Ash's suggestion to transport the forest residents through the empty gate was the direct cause of the appearance of the three gods, he still couldn't forgive Vichy, nor could he forgive himself for having the idea of accepting Vichy.
Therefore, when Ash realized that Sonia could not recognize him, he was relieved. Although Sonia was his most trusted comrade and the lover he depended on the most, she was also the treasure that Ash wanted to protect the most.
Sword Princess can't help us if we keep running away, so we might as well not recognize each other. This way it will be easier for us to escape. Ash persuaded himself in his heart while running wildly with Fili in his arms.
The sound of swords whistling came from behind, and Ash looked back and found that the red-haired sword lady was catching up. The other magicians seemed to want to take the opportunity to seize the nearly half of the Holy Grail fragment from the sword lady, but she easily solved them all, leaving corpses behind. She was almost the only one chasing in the front.
She has become stronger... Even if she can't enter the virtual realm, her swordsmanship is still improving, and her progress is much greater than mine. However, it is natural that someone like me who is lazy can't catch up with her. It's just that she is a little murderous... She must be very hardworking, but she has to practice and manage the Four Pillars Divine Sect at the same time. Isn't it too tiring? Does she relax herself well in normal times?
The witch, too, left her entire country behind to come to the stars. I really caused them too much trouble...
"I'm sorry, Fili." Ash suddenly blinked, "I put you in this situation where you were hunted down. You didn't have to take this risk."
"You don't have to apologize. I'm actually very happy." Fili blinked her eyes. "Although I can't spare a hand to help, I am fighting alongside you, Ash, right? Just like Sword Princess."
"Ash, you are so different when it comes to men, but you become stupid when it comes to women. When you comforted Mr. Igula before, you also knew that the 'better path' that Mr. Igula had conceived was never an option for Mr. Harvey. When it comes to me, why do you think I have the option of not taking risks? I am the woman who wants to save the world with you!"
"There has never been a better choice. You are the best choice of destiny. I think so, so does Nia, and Sister Vichy... probably not." Fili suddenly escaped from his arms and ran away side by side with him, "But I believe that the Sword Princess Witch must be the same."
Ash was stunned. They were about to escape from the alley, but there were several magicians blocking the way at the entrance. He quickened his pace, and his two swords danced like spirals. In an instant, he killed his way through the alley, escaped with Fili, and ran wildly along the street.
A group of magicians suddenly appeared in front of him. Before Ash could prepare to fight them, he found that the magicians on the opposite side were actually chasing the two female magicians in front.
The reason is simple—most of the fragments of the Holy Grail in the sorceress's arms have already condensed, and if she just snatches it away, maybe she can gather all the fragments!
It was just that the two parties' escape directions happened to be opposite, so it was such a coincidence that they were about to collide.
Ash subconsciously wanted to divert the trouble and let the female magician attract most of the pursuers. Compared with Fili, who had a complete and dazzling indicator light of the Holy Grail, the female magician, who had most of the fragments of the Holy Grail, was actually more attractive to other magicians, and would not become the target of public criticism even if she took it away.
However, when Ash saw the appearance of the two female magicians opposite him, his pupils suddenly shrank and he could hardly believe his eyes.
He motioned to Fili to follow him, and rushed towards the opposite side with his sword in hand!
The two female magicians saw the Astral Body charging towards them, and subconsciously prepared to fight back. However, the Astral Body actually ignored them and rushed directly towards the pursuers behind them!
The two female sorcerers looked at each other, then looked at the other astral being holding the Rainbow Holy Grail, who did not attack them, but turned around and joined them in killing the pursuers!
Ash didn't dare to stay, and immediately pulled Fili away after helping them out. Fili blinked: "Why did you help them? It was so dangerous just now, I thought they would attack me."
"They won't do anything to you, they are all good people."
"Do you know them?"
"yes."
Ash's eyes showed a smile: "These are all friends I haven't seen for a long time."
…
Looking at the back of the astral body in front of her, Freya asked as she ran, "Did they go out of their way to help us just now?"
"It seems so." Tamashi tilted his head and said uncertainly: "He rushed directly between us, as if he was sure that we would not do anything to them..."
"Then why don't you do it? The Holy Grail is right in front of you."
“They didn’t attack me, how could I attack them?” Tamashi said seriously, “I would never murder someone for their property.”
Freya was not surprised by Tamashi's moral code. She thought for a moment and said, "I always feel like I know them..."
Tamashi guessed, "Could it be Purple Moth and Blood Hidden?"
"Do Annan and Shivlin know swordsmanship?"
"Won't they?"
"Never mind. Since they helped us, they should be good people. Even if they are not Shifulin and Annan, we have to help them!" Freya made the decision directly.
Tamashi had no objection. It was interesting to say that although Tamashi was the cold plum who had experienced the most mysterious and suffered the most hardships, Freya was simply a rose in a greenhouse. However, when the team was arguing, Freya would often make the decision. Not only because the Veela mastered Ash's gift, but also because the Veela had a wonderful affinity.
"So what are we going to do?"
Freya suddenly stopped and turned to look at the red-haired swordsman who was chasing after her. For some reason, she felt hot all over, as if she had met her old enemy - the Veela had never been so eager to fight as she was at this moment!
"Of course, we have to help them intercept the pursuers!" Freya said excitedly, "First, we have to deal with that red-haired female swordsman!"
