I don't want to be a heroic spirit

Chapter 218: Jack the Ripper Reluctant to Show Up (25/31)

Astolfo is still here... that's strange.

According to the plot that Altria knows, Astolfo will take advantage of the panic caused by Spartacus's attack and escape with the android, but he will be caught up by Siegfried and his master Gold.

Next, Siegfried was injured by Gold. In order to save Siegfried's life, Siegfried gave his heart to Siegfried, and then Siegfried left the stage, and Siegfried got all of Siegfried's abilities.

But now it seems that Siegfried is still here, and Astolfo is still alive, and the plot has obviously changed.

It is possible that Astolfo delayed the opportunity to escape, or it is possible that Siegfried has been caught. There are many possibilities.

Jeanne is now on Altria's side, so she can't protect Siegfried in front of everyone on the black side, and the future becomes even more confusing.

According to Altria's conjecture, Sieg's existence was instructed by the restraining force, so Altria was more careful about that place.

Suddenly, several servants frowned almost at the same time.

With their keen senses, they all felt the slight movement.

"Here it comes."

It's foggy.

I can't find the source. I don't know when the strange white fog engulfed the streets.

Visibility was reduced to the extreme, and the abnormal atmosphere spread in the fog.

In the 19th century, it was in the heat of the second industrial revolution.

London, one of the centers of the industrial revolution, was also a scene at that time.

The large-scale burning of coal produced a lot of smoke and industrial waste gas. Coupled with London's geographical conditions, these industrial pollutants combined with moisture to form a thick fog that lasted for a long time.

And in that era, a terrifying killer appeared.

Jack the Ripper.

No one knows his real name, no one has seen his face. He once killed at least five prostitutes in the Whitechapel area of ​​East London with a cruel method, disemboweling all of them. His cruelty caused panic in the entire British society.

As the most well-known hunting killer, the shadow she left behind, even after hundreds of years, is still dripping with thick blood and is feared by the world.

It is precisely this fear that has not faded after hundreds of years that made him sublimate into a heroic spirit and successfully come to the world as a servant in this Holy Grail War.

In the Type-Moon world, the true body of Jack the Ripper is actually an evil spirit formed by the resentment of more than tens of thousands of abandoned children after their death.

Because it is an evil spirit, it cannot be caught by ordinary police officers. Later, it was probably destroyed by a passing magician, right?

In 19th century London, abortion technology was not mature, and prostitution was prevalent. Many children who could have been born normally were treated as garbage, and the bodies of babies were thrown into the river near the east end of the city. Resentment accumulated under such conditions.

As an evil spirit created by the resentment of abandoned children, Jack the Ripper felt that his mother did not want him to be born, so his wish was to "return to before birth", or to return to his mother's belly, which is why Jack the Ripper cut open the belly of women.

Then, because most of the abandoned children were prostitutes, Jack the Ripper's targets were basically prostitutes.

Altria had told the basic information about Jack the Ripper, so everyone else knew that the strange mist that appeared was the work of Jack the Ripper.

The three servants were ready and could come forward to support at any time.

The distance from the Lion Tribulation Realm was basically nothing for the servants. Even if they did not have the foot speed of Achilles, they could cross this distance in a shorter time than the blink of an eye.

Between the tense nerves, time passed quietly, like a spring flowing through the mountains.

What happened?

Altria began to feel something was wrong.

This white mist undoubtedly came from Jack the Ripper, but the question was... why was the other party unwilling to show up?

It wasn't until a roar came from not far away that Artoria realized what was going on.

"Are there servants fighting here?"

With a flash of lightning in her mind, Artoria made a quick decision.

"Mordred! Go back to your master and protect his safety. Jeanne and I will go there to take a look."

"Oh!"

The few people also knew the urgency of the situation and immediately started running at full speed.

On the way to the battlefield, Artoria suddenly felt a little strange.

"Repelling barrier? Sure enough..."

Artoria's eyes condensed and she suddenly increased her speed.

No wonder Jack the Ripper didn't attack all the time, not because the vigilance of the three servants on his side was discovered by the other side, but because there was more than one magician in this city, Lion Jiejieli.

The place where the battle took place was a square, and the diffuse white fog did not cover it.

The two sides of the battle did not expect Artoria to be Astolfo and Siegfried who had just been mentioned.

"Why are they here?"

Although it was a battle, Astolfo was suppressed the whole time. It can even be said that if Siegfried had not had no intention of fighting, Astolfo would have been defeated long ago.

"Why are they fighting?" Jeanne asked nervously, "Aren't they from the same camp?"

"There is a conflict, maybe there is a conflict of ideas or something. The stronger the ego, the more likely it is to happen."

Arturia knew the reason, because she saw Sieg... or rather the android who escaped accidentally.

Different from the original plot, Astolfo did not even escape from the forest outside the base camp... but escaped directly here?

However, the result was no different, and they were still caught up by Siegfried and Gold.

"Um... do we need to go up and stop them?"

Jeanne looked hesitant as she watched the battle over there, as if she was just listening to Artoria's arrangements.

Arturia glanced at Jeanne with a strange look, and then said: "No, it shouldn't be necessary... As long as they don't violate the rules, there is no need for us to appear. Our target this time is Jack the Ripper. Say no. She will suddenly appear at any given moment and attack Siegfried's master."

Siegfried's master Gold is also here, and now Siegfried is fighting Astolfo. There is a serious lack of defense around Gold, which is far more attractive to Jack the Ripper than Mordred. The lion guarding Jie Jieli was beside him.

Also, the android Sieg was brought out by Astolfo... Although he is only an android, the magic circuit in his body is quite good. Maybe Jack the Ripper will attack him.

"Things are getting troublesome..."

Chapter 219 A situation that is difficult to control

On the other side, Mordred appeared next to Lion Jie Jieli and informed the other party that there was an unexpected interruption in the plan and it was temporarily suspended.

Afterwards, Mordred brought the lion Jie Jieli out of the mist.

"Hey, are you okay, Master? How about I give you a pat on the back?"

"Cough! Cough! Cough! Forget it...forget it, Saber, your slap may hurt me more seriously, Cough!"

After all, Mordred never strikes lightly or harshly.

"What, I worried about you, and you still dare to say bad things about me? But, you can say bad things about me, it seems like you are fine."

Mordred crossed his arms in front of his chest and said disdainfully: "And... Master, didn't you do that, a gas mask? Isn't it useless at all?"

Because Artoria explained Jack the Ripper's abilities in advance, Lion Jie Jieli also made preparations for this fog, which was a gas mask.

Considering that Jack the Ripper's mist contains mystery, Lion Jie Jieli also made magical processing on this gas mask... The result can only be said that although the effect is there, it is really not great.

"I thought it was too simple..." Lion Jie Jieli smiled bitterly and said, "The mist created by the Servant's Noble Phantasm... is really not that easy to break."

"Really, are you feeling defeated if you are allowed to show off your strength?"

After a while, Lion Jie Jieli's complexion improved a little.

"This kind of energy is much stronger than nicotine... It feels like I have taken two sips of sulfuric acid... Well, although I have never drunk sulfuric acid."

Jack the Ripper's mist is corrosive, but this corrosiveness is only effective on the human body and will not corrode clothing and other items.

Moreover, this mist can be blocked with magic power. After all, its essence is still the product of magic power.

"So, what happened?"

"There are servants fighting nearby." Mordred explained: "My father and the village girl have already rushed over, and I am here to protect your safety and prevent you from getting hit by that Assassin's knife."

"Any followers?" Lion Jie Jieli frowned, "Did people from the red and black sides encounter each other here?"

"Who knows, anyway, I will twist off the head of anyone who dares to mess with me. I will do what I say."

Mordred was itching for something.

Suddenly, Mordred's eyes widened.

"Saber, we..."

Just as Lion Jie Jie Li was about to say something, an overwhelming force suddenly came.

Mordred suddenly grabbed him by the collar and threw him out with lightning speed.

In a hurry, Lion Jie Jieli seemed to see Mordred pull out the knight's sword and slash towards a beam of light.

"boom!"

The street was shattered, and fire and smoke flew three stories high, even from Arturia's side.

"Over there...is Mordred and the others' location?"

"Are there any other servants?"

The stream of light that pierced the night just now did not resemble the attack methods of Jack the Ripper and Mordred. It was most likely an Archer.

The possibility of Atalanta is not high. After all, they have just fought. Amakusa Shirou Tokisada does not dare to be an enemy of Artoria for the time being, and there is no reason to fight.

so……

"Is it Black's Archer?"

Although it is just a conjecture, this is indeed the most likely possibility under the current circumstances.

But the problem is...

"Are more than half of Black's servants... actually here?"

Rider Astolfo, Saber Siegfried, Archer Chiron, Assassin Jack the Ripper.

"Is just one Sieg... qualified for Black to send so many servants?"

Arturia looked at the clock tower. The arrow that was shot at Mordred was shot from there. The clock tower is also the tallest building in this town, and it is indeed the best sniper point for archers. .

Looking back, Artoria looked at the battlefield between Siegfried and Astolfo, with many thoughts in her mind.

"Joan Arc, you immediately go to the clock tower over there, find Archer and his master on the black side, tell them the news about Mordred and us joining hands to defeat Jack the Ripper, and ask for their assistance."

Artoria was about to intervene, but her intuition told her that something was about to happen.

Jeanne nodded, turned around, left Artoria's side, and rushed toward the clock tower.

At this time, the battle between Siegfried and Astolfo was almost over, and the result was naturally Siegfried's absolute victory.

Artoria decided to go over and meet at this time.

Because she has some questions, maybe she can get answers from them.

"Amakusa Shiro Tokisada...is it related to you?"

Arturia murmured to herself.

On the battlefield, Astolfo lay weakly on the ground.

His shining lance was stuck on the ground, some distance away from Astolfo, having been knocked away in the battle with Siegfried just now.

"Really, a mere third-rate servant actually wasted so much of my time..." Gold ordered Siegfried arrogantly: "Go, Saber, take a fancy to that third-rate servant and that Caster." Bring the androids, Archer seems to have spotted Saber on the red side, and needs to rush over to support him."

Siegfried was still so taciturn, picking up the powerless Astolfo and Sieg one by one with one hand, making people feel like he was a machine that perfectly obeyed orders.

When Sieg flew to Gold's side, Gold touched his chin and looked at Sieg for a while.

"...I don't see anything special at all. I really don't understand why Caster cares so much about this guy. Isn't he just a very ordinary artificial human?"

"Well..."

At this time, Astolfo, who was being carried by Siegfried, made a sound.

"Tch! A third-rate servant has caused us so much trouble, and Serenekai can't even do something as simple as taking care of his own servants. I really don't understand what that guy Darnik is. I took a fancy to that woman and made her one of the seven masters this time."

Siegfried heard all Gold's complaints, but his expression did not change at all, like a machine without emotions.
