Pendragon's Infinity Gauntlet

Page 43

“Saber?”

Rin, who had already taken a few steps forward, realized that her Servant hadn't followed, so she turned around and gave him a puzzled look.

"There's something above my head. It must be a powerful familiar, preparing to launch a sneak attack?"

suddenly!

The moment Pendragon finished speaking, the familiar in the ventilation duct was completed, and the entire ceiling collapsed as if it had been hit by a giant hammer!

Pendragon, head held high and expressionless, leaped backward like a feather or willow catkin, instantly drifting to Rin's side.

"boom!"

At the same time, a large amount of dust fell from the ceiling of the hall onto the floor, and under the thick black smoke, a huge creature slowly emerged.

It also exists in the form of a skeleton, with thick limbs supporting a huge body, and a row of inverted bone spurs like short swords growing from its spine. It looks like an overlord from ancient times, at the top of the food chain, with a fierce, terrifying and domineering aura.

Hmm, he exudes the aura of a boss.

This elite monster, which looks like a crocodile, opened its huge mouth and let out a silent roar. After all, it's just a skeleton now. The loudest sound it could make was probably the noise of its claws scraping the ground, but it was still very imposing.

One of its forelimbs scratched at the ground, making a screeching sound, as if testing the coefficient of friction. The next second, it suddenly retreated, leaving enough distance for a sprint, and its four limbs paddled like high-speed oars.

The enormous crocodile, with a tail that was five meters long, charged toward Pendragon and his companion with the habits of an aquatic animal!

Pendragon remained unmoved. Rin, still indifferent, raised her left arm and poured magical energy into the magic crest, her slightly raised face perfectly displaying a hint of disdain.

This time, the spell bullet took a little longer to charge, consuming more magic power, but the attack power was greatly increased as the magic power was compressed.

Just as the familiar was about to pounce on their faces, Rin, one of the calm duo, released a cursed bullet from her fingertip.

"boom!"

A tremendous roar erupted, accompanied by an explosion, and the air swirled into a whirlwind.

Rin Tohsaka's attack struck the crocodile skeleton's head directly, the powerful force instantly penetrating along the dragon's spine and shattering the entire familiar into dust!

As thick smoke and dust spread, the attacked familiar was reduced to nothing, not even its bones remained, but instead turned into vaporized fragments that drifted down like black smoke.

On the other side of the ceiling, there were several familiars, but their magical power was not high, not even reaching the level of the crocodile familiar that Rin had killed in one hit.

Realizing they couldn't defeat the enemy here, these guys actually began to slowly retreat and leave the building.

Not only those on this floor, but all the familiars that appeared inside the building this time seemed to have achieved their goal and began to quietly retreat.

Rin Tohsaka was unaware of this, but Pendragon, with his keen senses, noticed it. However, it was of no use, so he didn't bother to say anything.

P.S.: The kitten is so clingy, it's impossible to concentrate on writing!

Chapter Seventy-Five: A Woman Hurt by Love

Chapter 75

Following the remnants of magic, Rin, still with a cold expression, ventured deeper into the building, searching for clues.

"What is this fragrance?"

Upon entering a company office, the usually composed and aloof Miss Rin instantly lost her composure, frowning and covering her mouth and nose with the back of her hand in a demure manner.

"It's a witch's ointment, made from celery, and it should be called 'Love Destroyer'."

Pendragon recounted what he had learned after reading the script.

"So, the opponent is a woman?"

Rin Tohsaka muttered something to herself.

"Do you look down on women?"

Pendragon made a sarcastic remark without any expression.

"What do you think?"

Rin rolled her eyes, realizing that this kind of thing seemed to have no effect on magicians. Her hands fell to her sides again, but her brows still didn't relax.

"Even after becoming a Heroic Spirit, he still drags innocent people into it. What a petty person."

"Yes, this is a woman who has been hurt by love."

"That kind of guy is the scary one."

"Stop showing off, I'm going to open the window to let some fresh air in."

The smoke in the room was purple, with a strong personal character, as Pendragon moved through rows of office areas, opening the sealed windows.

As a large amount of cold air rushed into the room, the purple smoke quickly dissipated. Rin Tohsaka looked at the overworked office workers lying haphazardly in the office, her brows furrowed and her teeth clenched in anger.

Pendragon turned around and saw this scene. He never expected that this guy could turn into a mature woman when he was angry.

"Saber, do you know how to use a telephone?"

"..."

I know you're clueless about electronics, but this is way too clueless, it's like you're completely blind.

"How about I teach you?"

For some reason, Rin always felt that Saber's gaze towards her was rather subtle.

"Please make this call for me."

Pointing to the telephone in the office, Rin took out her wallet from under her skirt, pulled out a piece of paper with numbers on it, and handed it over.

As she spoke, a slight blush appeared on her face; she knew she was being embarrassing.

Pendragon took the note and walked to the telephone. To be honest, she didn't recognize many of the buttons on it, but this kind of telephone should be universal, right?

You can dial the number simply by picking up the receiver...

"Mosimoxi?"

The receiver rang a few times before a mature, deep male voice answered the phone.

Pendragon handed the receiver to Rin, who would explain the situation to Father Kirei. Whatever the reason, the important thing was to prevent the Heroic Spirits from being exposed to ordinary people.

The priest was quite efficient; before the fragrance in the room had completely dissipated, a convoy of ambulances had already arrived.

Pendragon and Rin Tohsaka kept their deeds hidden, and by the time the medical staff brought them up on stretchers, they had already been moved to the rooftop.

"call."

Without the scent of the witch's ointment, Rin took a deep breath and stared in a certain direction.

"All the magic has flowed to Ryudouji Temple."

Pendragon followed Rin Tohsaka's gaze. In her perception, it wasn't just this one place; the flow of magic encompassed almost the entire new capital, forming an incredibly vast network. Ryudouji Temple was at the center, where the spider that wove the web resided.

"Yes, all the stolen essence flowed into the mountains, so the culprit at the place of the unconscious accident is probably Caster."

Rin stood with her back to Pendragon, her hands in the pockets of her coat. Her long, flowing hair and elegant coat swayed slightly in the cold, her slender figure as beautiful as a live wallpaper.

In addition, Rin Tohsaka's serious demeanor at this moment even amazed Pendragon.

"Oh, so it seems that she was the one who secretly observed us yesterday by sending the familiar."

Pendragon stared at Rin's beautiful back as he spoke absentmindedly.

"Is there such a thing?"

Rin Tohsaka turned her head, but kept her body still, only turning her jewel-like eyes to the corner of her eye, and asked with a domineering air.

"Yes, she probably has spies everywhere in this city."

Pendragon felt a sudden spark, almost smitten, and said, resting his chin on his hand as he sat on the ventilation duct behind him.

"Well, it's not a big deal anyway. Although we exposed our trump card, we still achieved an overwhelming victory."

"The trump card..."

hmmmmmm…

You know nothing about power; Pendragon only played a three of diamonds.

"Let's go after Caster."

"it is good."

Pendragon stood up, stretched, and instantly appeared behind Rin, wrapping his arms around the girl's slender waist and carrying her into the sky.

Rin, who hadn't expected to be carried in this way, let out a scream, and the momentum she had managed to build up instantly crumbled.

Pendragon carried Rin and flew towards Ryudouji Temple at an extremely fast speed, but was stopped by Rin Tohsaka when they were close to the mountain where Ryudouji Temple was located.

"and many more!"

Lady Rin patted Pendragon's hand, which was clasped around her waist, signaling for him to land.

"What's wrong?"

"That female fox is too cunning; she didn't even use her true form to plunder the essence."

Rin frowned, looking somewhat annoyed. It seemed that chasing after him to fight was just wishful thinking on his part. His opponent was cautious, careful, and cunning.

They didn't give them a chance at all.

Compared to Caster, I'm still a baby.

"The opponent is Caster. Instead of fighting outside, they directly exposed Ryudouji Temple. It's like inviting someone into a trap."

Since it is a Caster class, it must be extremely good at positional warfare. If there is enough time to set up, and the location is a spiritual vein node like Ryudouji Temple, it is no exaggeration to say that as long as the battlefield is set up here, Caster is truly capable of taking on six opponents at once and is invincible.

Because she is also a magician, Rin Tohsaka is even more aware of how terrifying the Servants summoned as Casters are in her own base.

She didn't want to take that risk.

At least, rushing up the mountain unprepared like this is undoubtedly very foolish in her eyes; Rin is not yet blinded by anger.

"Let's go back first and find some clues."

Rin took a deep look at the mountaintop and, with her magical skills, was naturally able to sense the barrier that covered the entire mountain.

That barrier was specifically set up for spirits like Servants; other Servants who wanted to go up the mountain only had that one mountain path to take.

To say that there are no traps or obstacles on this road would be an insult to intelligence.

P.S.: I was too busy petting the cat lol~ a v28524356, super cute little silver dot, gender: female, name is Merlin.

Chapter 76 Anyway, there's a Shadow Priest

Chapter 76

Therefore, Rin wisely chose to retreat.

"Oh."

Pendragon didn't ask any questions and simply carried the beautiful girl into the sky.

Having just woken up not long ago, Rin was still wide awake even though it was completely dark. She went to the underground magic workshop and started fiddling with something.

Pendragon stayed in the living room, picked up the blower and put it on his lap, petting the cat while reading a novel.

Miss Rin kept fiddling with things until midnight. When she came out of the basement with two thick dark circles under her eyes, Pendragon was still in the same position, petting the cat and reading a book, like a GIF animation.

As a reward, Rin gained several familiars made of gemstones.

The crystal-clear little guy is made entirely of red, translucent crystals. It is shaped like a bird and has the ability to fly. I feel like if you exchanged its raw materials for money, you could eat almost all the desserts in Fuyuki!

"This thing must have cost a lot to make, right?"

Despite already having a suspicion in his mind, Pendragon couldn't control his tongue and put down the book to ask, even though he knew the result might make him feel bad for a while...

"It wasn't very expensive, it was made with two pieces of bloodstone."

Rin Tohsaka waved her hand dismissively, revealing the profound heritage of being one of the three great families of Fuyuki.

Your family's gems, if converted to real value, are probably worth more than a third of the value of Fuyuki. You're so extravagant that you're taking me to a buffet!

Pendragon held the contents of his mouth in one gulp, puffing out his cheeks in protest.

"go."

He threw the blower that was licking its fur in his arms at Rin Tohsaka. When Rin saw this move, she subconsciously dropped the two familiars made of gems and reached out to catch the cat in her arms.

"Meow. (Foolish mortal)"
