The Paladin on the Infinite Tour

".....Eh?"

"It feels like he might be the type I like. If possible, I'll go say hello to him, then take him into my tank and give him a good pampering."

Maeve likes men, especially strong men. The biggest reason why she was engaged and married to many kings and warriors during her lifetime was because she liked powerful men. She believed that powerful men should be hers, and she was obsessed with the most perfect woman in the world.

And now, she felt that Alexia, who was fighting Ishtar, met her standards. Even though she couldn't see clearly what he looked like from this distance, the fact that he was a [white-haired beautiful boy] meant that Maeve It is already confirmed.

A beautiful white-haired boy who can fight a divine heroine servant - Maeve's saliva is dripping just thinking about it!

(What is she talking about?)

Arturia couldn't understand it. She didn't know much about Maeve's deeds. She only knew that she was a character in Celtic mythology, but she didn't know her nature and hobbies.

[Kill her, saber]

However, without any warning, Arturia suddenly heard the instructions from Sandjo Aige.

[Use the command curse to kill the rider with all your strength! 】

(Eh? Master?!)

[How dare you covet my prince... The prince is mine! It's not something that Bichi, who can do anything with her, can fall in love with! Send her back to the Throne of Heroes immediately, Saber! If you can't do it, I'll rush over and kill her right now! 】

(I, I understand! Master, calm down!)

The roar that sounded in her mind made Artoria unable to react for a moment. She never expected that Shajo Aige would suddenly have such a big reaction.

Judging from the sound, Artoria could definitely imagine the furious Sajou Aige now.

(Speaking of which, I actually used a command spell... Obviously this kind of command spell has almost no effect, Master.)

The Command Seal is the Master's absolute right to command the Servants, but this "Absolute" is limited to a single instruction. If the content of the order is too vague, or the content of the order is consistent with the Servant's wishes, then the Command Seal will be mandatory. The effect will be almost non-existent.

However, instead -

"boom------!"

Like a whirlwind, powerful magic burst out from Artoria's petite body! Artoria, who already had all A+ level abilities, now has her abilities increased by another level!

This is the substitute function of the Command Spell - directly strengthening the magic power of the servant!

Holding the holy sword and taking a stance, Artoria stared at Maeve: "I'm sorry, I won't let you meet him, Queen Maeve. Because I will make you withdraw here."

"...Hmm~~~ You really dare to say it, Saber. How dare you be so brave in front of me. If you were a man, I would definitely fall in love with you." Maeve smiled. He joked, then sat back in the chariot and lowered the curtain.

"Okay, then I will just play with you - but you must let me have fun, saber~~~"

Moo————————!

As soon as Maeve finished speaking, the two bulls pulling the chariot roared at the same time. The dull roar shook the atmosphere, and their strong and powerful iron hoofs stepped hard on the ground several times!

immediately--

"Boom——————————!"

It's like it's going to crush Artoria and everything in front of it! The bull pulled the chariot and galloped out at full speed! The ground that was already broken due to the bombardment of the Wind King's hammer immediately suffered greater damage and dents under the trampling of the chariots and bulls!

Artoria will be trampled by bulls and chariots like this ground - this is what Maeve thought.

However, Artoria, who was facing the bull and the chariot, did not dodge or evade. She just stood in front of the bull and the chariot with her sword clenched in both hands, as if she wanted to block Maeve's collision from the front. Look!

"...You really dare to do it, Saber - then give it a try! Hit it!"

"Mooooo!"

With a low roar, the bull rammed into Artoria at full speed! Both hooves were raised high, as if they were going to crush Artoria!

“Boom——————————!”

The roar of the ground being trampled and crushed instantly spread throughout the bridge!

37.Ishtar’s trump card

"boom--------!"

The roar filled the night sky of Fuyuki City.

"Boom————————!"

The brilliant firelight illuminated the dark night.

"Crack————————!"

Broken ice scattered across the sky like stardust.

...

This is the scene that is happening in the sky of Fuyuki City now and is being repeated continuously.

For Ishtar, every time this similar scene happens, it will make her feel irritated!

"Boom——————!"

The huge arrow of light shot out from Maanna's cannon again! A blow that was enough to shoot through the ground equivalent to the size of a football field tore through the space in an instant, and shot toward Exia like a meteor!

Facing the blow, Exia just raised her left hand, used the Sekiryuutei's caged hand to forcefully catch the luminous arrow, and instantly froze it into a huge block of ice before backhanding it. Cut it to pieces with one sword!

(That’s it again!)

Ishtar curled her lips.

She has seen this scene countless times. No matter what power of light arrow she shoots, Exia has only one way to respond - freeze and then shatter.

He didn't even think about trying to dodge, he took all the attacks head-on!

He defeated Ishtar's power head-on with his purest power!

(That was the maximum output I could shoot right now. If this can’t do anything to him, all that’s left is——)

"You're slowing down."

Alexia's voice that sounded like a ghost suddenly reached her ears at a close distance. Ishtar suddenly came back to her senses. Unexpectedly, Alexia, who had arrived in front of her without any sympathy at all, directly Hit her with a sword!

"Crack————————!"

No wounds, no blood.

But the place where Ishtar was struck was directly covered with a thick layer of frost, and then the whole thing shattered!

"Ugh————! Damn it!"

The light bullet condensed in the palm of my hand, and Ishtar detonated the attack directly at zero distance! The burst of flash and impact immediately obscured Alexia's vision!

And Ishtar also used this to quickly open a large distance. He covered the place where he had just been struck by Exia with his hand. He looked at the ice shards in his palm and gritted his teeth.

(This guy's attack... is really troublesome!)

Exia's slash - at least the slash with the ice sword, caused damage in a somewhat special way. Rather than chopping the body into pieces, it was better to say that the body was frozen and then broken into pieces.

There will be no bleeding or special pain, and the wound will freeze, but a part of the body will actually be missing. At the same time, the cold air will continue to invade the body along the wound, causing continuous effects until the whole body is frozen.

"——The way of fighting is really disgraceful, using such destructive tricks!"

"Just consider that it's not your body."

Shaking away the aftermath of the surrounding light bullets, Exia responded coldly to Ishtar's provocation: "My target is only you as a servant, and I have no interest in the lady you rely on named Tohsaka Rin. So. On the premise that I can kill you, I will try my best to keep her body intact so that she can be treated later."

"You are a pervert!"

Ishtar couldn't help but cursed!

Freezing other people's bodies and then smashing them into pieces - is this called ensuring the integrity of the body? Are you sure this is not an alternative chronic execution method? !

(Hey! Is there nothing you can do!?)

Tohsaka Rin inside the body couldn't help but ask.

(I don’t want my body to be broken piece by piece!)

(It’s so annoying, and I don’t want to! If you and I weren’t in a state of incomplete dependency, would I have been beaten and suppressed like this!)

If he were a Servant, Ishtar would have the confidence to directly use the maximum output power to blast Axia away in front of him! But there is no way Rin Tosaka's body can withstand that kind of output power. It is estimated that her magic circuit will be scrapped after three or four shots, and it will be completely scrapped!

(...Hey, there are still two strokes of the command spell left, right?)

(Eh? Well, there are two strokes left.)

(Using one stroke to allow me to use the Noble Phantasm is probably not enough to completely offset the burden, but at least it won’t make your magic circuit useless.)

This is Ishtar and Tohsaka Rin's only reversal method now.

Ishtar doesn’t believe that Exia can even freeze her Noble Phantasm!

(I understand—order with the Command Seal and use the Noble Phantasm, Ishtar!)

“Buzz————————!”

With Tohsaka Rin's authorization, a flash of red light immediately flashed on the back of Ishtar's right hand, and then a huge amount of magic power suddenly burst out from her body!

"Coming... coming, coming, coming!"

Ishtar, whose whole body exuded a strong aura and power, couldn't help but feel a little excited! She could feel that the feeling of being held back and restrained had mostly disappeared now!

"Huh~~~~"

As if he had breathed fresh air after a long time, Ishtar took a deep breath, and under the suspicious gaze of Ixia, he suddenly drove Ma Anna to fly high into the sky at great speed!

(What is she going to do?)

Alexia thought in confusion.

Is it related to the magic wave that Ishtar just erupted?

[Be careful, partner, I have a bad feeling]

Ddraig also reminded him.

And the moment it finished speaking————

“Buzz————————————!”

A strong tremor suddenly fell from the sky!

As if the space itself was suppressed by something heavy, Ixia clearly felt that the space around him began to tremble continuously, and this tremor was not only limited to his surroundings, but also continued continuously. It spread downwards!

"Buzz buzz buzz~~~~~!"

Under this terrifying pressure, it seemed as if even the city below began to tremble.

What happened?

With such doubts, Ixia raised his head and looked in the direction where Ishtar was flying, but as soon as he raised his head, he couldn't help but froze on the spot!

"what is that?"

Incomprehensible.

What came into Exia's field of vision was a scene that he couldn't understand.

It was as if a huge gap had been torn open in the sky. A huge round hole appeared at some point, and in the round hole was a scene that Alexia couldn't believe.

Starry sky, galaxy, sea of ​​stars... The round hole is like a door, directly connecting the scene in the distant universe to the world here!

"Hehehe, are you surprised? berserker."

Floating under the starry sky gate, Ishtar, with all his power at full power, seemed to have completely forgotten what had just been unilaterally suppressed by Exia, and smiled extremely confidently and arrogantly.

"This is my power as a goddess, feel proud. This is the first time I have used this power to deal with you alone! - Ma Anna, open the portal!"

“Buzz————————————————!”

Following Ishtar's words, an even stronger pressure than before suddenly fell from the sky. Exiya's body trembled violently, and she almost failed to maintain her flying posture.

And then, a scene appeared in Exia's eyes that made his heart tremble.

A golden celestial body slowly descended from the starry sky gate.

"What is that?"

38. Light cannon against waves!

Ishtar's whole body was in pain now.

Even with the support from Tohsaka Rin's Command Seal, using this move in her current state of possession still caused an unbearable burden on her body!
