Chapter 542 Another Woman



"Dragon Fang Soldiers?" Emiya Shirou asked hurriedly, "What are Dragon Fang Soldiers?"

Toosaka Rin said coldly: "Dragon Fang Soldiers are low-level monsters summoned with dragon fangs as materials. The magic power on them is very weak. It is definitely impossible to be the source of magic power that Archer just detected. Archer, the enemy should be hiding nearby, pull him out!"

Hong A nodded when he heard this, and his figure disappeared from the spot as if he had teleported.

Lu Bu stood beside Tong Shen and frowned as he looked at the Dragon Tooth Soldiers outside the courtyard wall.

"So it's just a bunch of soldiers? No wonder I didn't even have the desire to attack a monster of this level..."

"You don't need to do anything!"

Toosaka Rin glanced at him, then jumped off the courtyard wall.

The Dragon Fang Soldier on the slope opened his bloody mouth and rushed towards Toosaka Rin with murderous intent.

Toosaka Rin snorted coldly, holding her left wrist with her right hand and pointing downwards. A mysterious and complex magic circuit like a maze appeared on her forearm, and immediately lit up with a blue light.

"Yin Qi bomb!"

With a clear shout, a black-red ball of magic power that was as powerful as a bullet shot out from Toosaka Rin's fingertips, almost instantly annihilating the magic power of the Dragon Fang Soldier in the front.

"Bang--"

The pale skeleton was shattered into pieces by the impact of the black and red magic ball, and finally turned into handfuls of bone powder, dust and white stars and disappeared in the air.

The remaining Dragon Fang soldiers attacked even more frantically. Saber frowned, thought for a moment, and then tightly grasped the invisible sword in her hand. She leaped in front of Toosaka Rin and swung the sword at the bone monster in front of her.

“Puff——”

The invisible sword cut through the skeletons with ease, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, chopping large numbers of pale dragon-fang soldiers into dust.

Toosaka Rin stood behind the blonde girl, black and red magic balls on her fingertips kept lighting up, smashing the attacking Dragon Fang soldiers one by one.

Soon, all the dragon tooth soldiers were killed by the two men, and white bone powder spread out, combining into a giant dragon tooth soldier as big as a house in a hidden magical power.

"roar!!"

The giant dragon-tooth soldier roared silently, and its ferocious bloody mouth like a prehistoric crocodile suddenly opened and bit the blonde girl in front.

Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on Lu Bu's face.

"That's more like it!"

Before he finished his words, a devil-like black figure descended from the sky, and the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand chopped down with a loud bang.

"boom!!"

The huge skeleton dragon head instantly exploded into bone powder.

Lu Bu stood up with a disappointed look on his face, holding the Fang Tian Hua Ji.

"It turns out it's just a showpiece..."

Before he finished his words, the shattered bone fragments floated together again, as if trying to condense into Dragon Tooth Soldiers again.

At this moment, Hong A, who had quietly appeared on the roof of the Emiya family, turned his eyes and said coldly: "Found you!"

"call out--"

A blue stream of light shot out from the roof and hit a seemingly empty place thirty meters away.

“Knock knock knock—”

The blue light split into dozens of arrows in mid-air, which then pierced the hard ground one after another.

A black figure emerged from the distorted air, with a dark purple cloak spread out like bat wings. It floated up like a human-shaped bat and landed on an open space dozens of meters away.

"Is this costume Caster?"

Toosaka Rin frowned and looked at the figure appearing not far away.

At the same time, the white bone powder in front of them condensed into three humanoid dragon-tooth soldiers holding swords and shields, waving giant bone blades like door panels in their hands and slashing at the three people in front of them.

"boom!!"

Before the three giant bone blades hit the ground, the pitch-black Fang Tian Huaji swept out and easily smashed them to pieces.

"It's still just a show-off..."

Lu Bu shook his head and swung his halberd again, smashing the three humanoid dragon-tooth soldiers in front of him to pieces.

On the wall of the Emiya family's courtyard, Tong Shen didn't care about the battle below at all. He just frowned slightly and stared at the figure with a hood covering his face, revealing only half of his delicate face.

As far as he knew, this year's magician Caster was Medea, the daughter of King Aeetes of Colchis in Greek mythology and the original wife of the hero Jason, who was known as the 'Witch of Betrayal'.

As a witch who was taught by the magic goddess Hecate in mythology, Medea possesses magic from the Age of Gods that cannot be compared to modern magic. In terms of magical ability alone, she should be at the level of a magician, and all the necessary skills for a magician have reached A-level. The magic she performs has a power close to the realm of magic.

However, corresponding to Medea's powerful magical ability is her terrible melee ability. In the original plot, she couldn't even beat Toosaka Rin, who had learned Bajiquan.

Of course, he certainly couldn't beat Tong Shen himself, who had practiced martial arts for ten years.

"So, just find a way to get close!"

While thinking this, Tong Shen informed Lu Bu of the information.

At the same time, in the living room, Fujimura, who was sitting sideways at the table, watching the news with his chin on his hand, was startled slightly. He raised his hand that was scratching his lower back, and turned to look at Emiya Shirou who was cleaning the living room.

"Shirou, did you hear anything?"

"Movement? No!"

"Really? But why do I feel like there's an earthquake..."

"It must be an illusion. If there really was an earthquake nearby, the TV station would definitely broadcast it immediately!"

“…That’s true~”

Fujimura looked relieved, muttered a few strange words, and then turned his attention to the news in front of him.

Seeing that Fuji-sister turned her head away, the smile on Emiya Shirou's face gradually faded, and then he frowned, wondering whether he should find an excuse to prevent Fuji-sister from coming to his side again.

As for the crisis outside the door, with three Heroic Spirits there, Shirou Emiya felt that it shouldn't be a problem.

“Swish, swish, swish—”

A whistling sound broke through the air from above.

Medea flew backwards rapidly, controlling the bones and rubble on the ground to transform into thick chains, which were interwoven into a large net of bones several meters in front of her, blocking all the blue arrows that were shot at her.

"Where are you escaping to!"

Saber shouted, wielding the invisible sword to catch up with Medea, and with a swish, she tore a crack in the bone net in front of her.

Rin controlled the Yin Qi bomb to deal with the magic balls that were floating up again with bone powder, and then glanced at Lu Bu who was holding a halberd and motionless beside him and said in surprise: "Rider, aren't you going?"

Lu Bu shook his head: "Another woman."

Toosaka Rin and Tong Shen: "..."

"boom!!"

At this moment, magical power so huge that it distorted the air suddenly erupted.

Countless colorful balls of magic power exploded in front of Medea, engulfing Saber's figure.

The next second, a violent energy reaction occurred out of nowhere, and the dark purple magic ball covering the sky exploded, transforming into countless purple magic dust particles that quickly spread in all directions.

"As expected, he is a brainless swordsman..."

Medea's expression regained its composure, and colorful patterns appeared on the cloak that spread out like bat wings behind her. She seemed to float up like a fluttering butterfly and fly towards the higher sky.

In just a few breaths, she had used her inherent skill 'High-Speed ​​Divine Words' and activated multiple magic without using spells or magic circuits.

At this moment, a whistling sound suddenly came from the magic dust in front of him.

Medea frowned, her body soared rapidly, climbing to a high altitude in an instant, and stretched out both hands wearing black magic gloves, aiming at the figure below that had just jumped out of the magic dust.

"It's just a minor injury..."

"It seems that this year's Saber has a high magical attribute."

Medea thought so as she activated her magic with 'High-Speed ​​Divine Words' once again.

At this moment, a red light came from a distance and instantly nailed the magic shield in front of her.

The next moment, the red arrow exploded and turned into a huge ball of fire that completely engulfed Medea's figure.

The flames faded, and before Toosaka Rin could even feel happy, she saw countless fluttering pink butterflies turning into ashes in the flames.

"…Is it a fake body?"

Toosaka Rin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

At the same time, Lu Bu and the other three heroes seemed to have sensed something and looked up at the sky above.

Medea, dressed in a purple robe and with a cloak spread out like bat wings, was seen floating slowly. Her eyes, hidden by her hood, looked down at the three heroes below, and the corners of her lips, which were painted with dark purple lipstick, were slightly pursed.

"Saber, Archer, and Rider..."

"Three Heroic Servants gathered here...are they forming an alliance?"

"This is a bit tricky..."

Medea frowned slightly, then spread out her five fingers in the magic glove and pointed downwards.

In an instant, countless colorful magic balls attacked from the sky.

Lu Bu leaped up and swung his Fang Tian Hua Ji, sending out black and red air currents that intercepted all the magic balls that were bombarding the ground.

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"

Countless balls of magic exploded one after another like fireworks, and colorful magic dust spread out, obscuring everyone's vision and the entire sky above.

Hong A frowned, quickly drew his bow and shot an arrow into the sky.

The stream of light from the arrow tore through the magic dust, but Medea, who had been floating there, had already disappeared.

"This is a bit tricky..."

Toosaka Rin looked up at the sky and expressed the same sentiment as Medea.

Tong Shen also nodded and said solemnly: "Yes, a heroic spirit with the ability to fly naturally has a great advantage. I suggest that we find her Master first and force her to fight us on the ground."

"I agree with your judgment."

Saber came over holding an invisible sword, her silver armor covered with a little dust, but she didn't seem to be injured.

Toosaka Rin also came over, frowned and said: "But now the enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light, how can I find him?"

Tong Shen thought about the plot and then analyzed it from the cause to the effect: "The magic power in her is abnormally huge. It is obviously just a fake body, but it can simulate the magic fluctuations of the real body."

"Based on my understanding of magic, there are only two possibilities for this situation. Either her Master is a magician powerful enough to rival a magician, or... she has absorbed human souls, and more than one."

“…”

Toosaka Rin and Saber looked at each other, both with solemn expressions.
