[Comprehensive] Self-cultivation of the villain master

Berserker consumed [-]% of his mana due to the tug-of-war just now. He was far away from the master and could hardly get mana supply. When he lost his power, he was naturally powerless to resist under Astra's fast and accurate attack.

As for Merlin, he didn't expect this development at all, and he couldn't even react.In any case, the real identity of this Berserker is Lancelot of the Knights of the Round Table, a person he was familiar with when he was growing up with King Arthur.

However, it was he who had discovered the problem between the queen and Lancelot long ago, but failed to wake up King Arthur in time.For him, some things were doomed from the very beginning. Although the Knights of the Round Table had a miserable ending at that time, it was just the result of obeying fate.

After solving Berserker, Astra didn't show a smile. She stood still for a long time before her body shook slightly. Although the amplitude was so small that you wouldn't notice it unless you looked closely, it couldn't hide it from Merlin.

Reminiscent of the master's chaos at the first singularity, Merlin hurried back to the ground and supported the terrible-looking master.Judging from the other party's sweaty face, the situation is not good.

"Master, you are forcing yourself again."

It's not hard to hear that there was some reproach in Merlin's tone.It's just that this is a real emotion, or it's just a deliberate expression. Now Astra can no longer distinguish the difference between the two.

Panting lightly, Astra pushed Merlin away and gestured.

"I'm fine, I just used up part of my magic power."

Astra knew better than anyone what made him weak like this, and what difficulties he had to face afterwards.

Cut off Irisviel's supply of magic power, the situation will become quite severe for him. Although he doesn't want to do this, he has no way to accept the power of that artificial human and at the same time ensure that her consciousness will not be severely swallowed .

Realizing what kind of promise he made that was almost impossible to keep, even Astra couldn't help showing a wry smile.

"I'm really... lifting a rock to shoot myself in the foot."

Merlin glanced at him and at the sky above.

"I heard thunder."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a distortion in the space around him.

"It should be the Rider group, I'm not worried that I can't beat them, it's just—"

From the tense expression of the blue-haired boy, Merlin could see how unwilling he was to do what he said, so he didn't say anything more, and followed behind Astra.

After the two left, Waver and the Conqueror King Iskandar appeared in place.

"I told you, it must be too late!"

After consulting the literature, Weber is very clear about the abilities of Astra, who used to be a Ruler class. In addition to seeing through his real name, the most difficult thing is the ability to nullify Assassin's breath shield, so their arrival is no surprise in the eyes of the other party. to speak of.

only--

"That Caster must have been seriously injured."

Iskandar stroked his chin, frowning.

It seems that the change from Ruler to Caster is not just about ability, it seems that even personality has changed slightly.Before he became a C-rank, that boy would not run away quietly when he sensed where the enemy was.

"The ones who just disappeared are two followers."

"Boy."

"What's the matter again?" Weber puffed his cheeks with an indignant expression on his face, "It's always so messy, at least take care of me, the Master!"

Iskandar's tone was heavy, ignoring the Master's words.

"If I'm not mistaken, one of the two servants just now was Lancer, right?"

"Uh--?"

……

Back at Einzbern's castle in Fuyuki, Astra dismissed Merlin casually and lay down on the bed, not wanting to get up at all.

The last time he was tired like this was probably in London. At that time, his body couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the singularity, and although the toxicity of the fog couldn't seriously affect him, it was true to change his physique.So at that time, just a little reminder from the doctor, he didn't insist on taking a good rest.

So what about this time?

Supporting the bed with one hand, Astra got up and leaned against the wall. Feeling that her vision was a little blurry, she rubbed her eyes and found that she was still in this state.

When a person is extremely tired, drowsiness will slowly sweep over him, and after a while his head tilted and he fell into a deep sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Emiya Kiritsugu came back with injuries all over his body. There were many large and small scratches on his suit, and there were a few cuts where bright red blood could be seen oozing out.

Astra was eating at the dining table, when she saw the man's back, she greeted him.

"Good morning, Emiya Kiritsugu."

And seeing Astra, Emiya Kiritsugu always felt that something was wrong, looked at it for a while, and finally understood where the problem was.

"What happened to your glasses?"

Astra doesn't wear glasses, but he is wearing glasses now, which is very strange in itself.Not understanding what Astra was doing, Emiya Kiritsugu was at a loss.

Astra heard this, a little tangled.

"I woke up early in the morning and found that I couldn't see clearly, so I went to get a pair of glasses. I didn't know that the servant would also have the problem of myopia..."

Laughing at himself, Astra said to Emiya Kiritsugu: "This little injury is nothing to you, come here first and tell me about your battle situation yesterday."

Emiya Kiritsugu nodded slightly, pulled out the chair and sat down, expressing his feelings.

"Yanfeng Qili is more difficult than I thought."

Saying that, Emiya Kiritsugu glanced at his trembling hands.

Survival is instinct, and so is fear.Emiya Kiritsugu did not explain in detail how scary that man Kotomine Chirei was, but he had already told Astra through his body's instincts.

Putting down the fork in his hand, Astra stared at the wound on Emiya Kiritsugu.

"You don't look like the one who got away, which means—"

"I don't know who revealed the news. The Rider team arrived suddenly and solved the servants hidden in the church. Losing foreign aid, facing the two Masters, Kotomine Chirei used some tricks to escape. gone."

Listening to Emiya Kiritsugu's words, Astra remained expressionless.

"That pair... really did not live up to my expectations."

Astra's words obviously didn't mean what he said. The reason why he kept the pair was not some complicated reason, and the unexpected shot of the other party gave him good feedback.

"Then let me also say that the situation on my side is fine. Berserker has been eliminated by me, the newly summoned Lancer has left the field, and the rest—"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Arturia who happened to walk to the restaurant was slightly taken aback.

Before they knew it, the Holy Grail War was drawing to a close.
