Chapter 688: Chapter 687: The End of Act 1 (Part 1)

Are there really two Servants?

Little Hei’s attack also made Red Saber start to become alert. She hadn’t been able to kill the little girl in front of her immediately, and now there was another ARCHER eyeing her from a distance... Although the Servant in front of her was weaker than she had imagined, Red Saber wasn’t so arrogant as to think she could fight two Servants at the same time, let alone that she didn’t even know where her Master was.

The opponent had created a gigantic Inherent Barrier, like a labyrinth, clearly to separate her from her Master. Right now, Red Saber didn’t know where her Master was. Logically, the best course of action would be to immediately reunite with her own Master, but she couldn’t find him...

"Swish!!"

Although Red Saber hoped she could quickly find a solution, the opposing ARCHER didn’t seem to plan on giving her that time. Soon, a series of arrows flew fast from a distance, aiming for Red Saber’s vital points. Red Saber could only grit her teeth and glared fiercely at Illya before swiftly turning around and jumping off the high wall, quickly escaping from the other side of the battlefield.

"Phew..."

Watching Red Saber leave, Illya finally relaxed and put down the Longsword in her hands.

"Really, what were you doing?"

Just then, Little Hei and Yoshino flew over from another side and landed beside Illya.

"As a Magical Girl, you couldn’t even beat a SABER?"

"Ooh... it was just slightly bad luck! Besides, if Little Hei had come to help a bit earlier, I wouldn’t have been so flustered!"

What Illya said was also true. Although her Phantasmal Summoning and Class Restraint were very powerful abilities, they had significant drawbacks.

Phantasmal Summoning allowed Illya to transform into any Heroic Spirit except ARCHER, but her Attribute Level would be slightly weaker than the original Heroic Spirit. For instance, if Illya transformed into a LANCER, and the average Attribute Value of that Spirit was A, then after transformation, Illya’s Attribute Value would be roughly at B.

In this case, according to the Class Restraint ability, if the transformed LANCER Illya encountered a SABER, her overall Attribute Level would drop another class, from B to C. However, if she encountered an ARCHER, then Illya’s average Attribute Level would rise from B to S. That was the true effect of the Class Restraint ability.

If it was any other Class, Illya could find an opposing Class to transform into to have an advantage. Unfortunately, she encountered a SABER, and the only transformation Illya couldn’t perform was into an ARCHER...

Moreover, Illya was quite unlucky. The Phantasmal Summoned Heroic Spirit’s base Attribute Value was not very strong, which resulted in Illya being beaten and scrambling around the ground.

"Are you alright, Illya? Are you hurt?"

At that moment, Yoshino also hurried to Illya’s side, holding her hand and looking at her with concern. Illya smiled and waved her hand.

"Don’t worry, Sister Yoshino, it’s just a minor injury, nothing serious, but that SABER..."

"I’ve already contacted Big Brother. Let Big Brother and Big Sister handle that SABER and her Master."

Inside the deep passage, pitch black.

What the hell is this place?

The middle-aged man tightly clenched his Firearm, vigilantly watching ahead. Just moments ago, he was chasing a girl suspected to be the enemy’s Master, but the next moment he found himself suddenly in this elaborate King’s City full of old ruins and houses. This clearly wasn’t a power his SABER possessed, so it must have been the doing of that little girl... Unexpectedly, she also had that kind of power.

He needed to kill the Master as soon as possible!

Thinking this, the middle-aged man also carefully looked around. So far, this Inherent Barrier felt like a huge maze, clearly meant to isolate him from his SABER...

"Dada da..."!

As the middle-aged man walked through the passage, suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps sounded not far away. The middle-aged man quickly turned around and raised his firearm, firing a shot. Accompanied by a "bang" sound, a figure running with their back towards the man screamed and fell heavily to the ground.

Got you!

Watching the figure fall, the middle-aged man felt elated; he quickly pulled a grenade from his waist, pulled the pin and threw it directly at where the figure had fallen.

"Boom!"

Upon impact, the grenade exploded and a burst of flames erupted, instantly engulfing the small figure.

Is it done?

The middle-aged man cautiously raised his weapon, looked ahead, and slowly moved towards the location of the hand grenade explosion. However, to his surprise, when he reached the former explosion site, he shockingly discovered that there was no one there, not even the remains of a body.

Meanwhile, a strange laughter came from behind him.

"Huhuhuhu..."

This is bad!

Hearing this laughter, the middle-aged man’s hair stood on end. Having been born and bred on the battlefield, constantly accompanied by death for so many years, he felt that cold fear once again in that instant. He immediately flipped to the side, hiding in the dead angle of the nearby wall, and almost at the same time, accompanied by the bang of a gunshot, the brick wall in front of the middle-aged man was immediately blasted apart.

Damn, this was indeed a trap!

After sensing the danger, the middle-aged man no longer hesitated. He clenched his right hand and raised it.

"I command in the name of the Command Seal, SABER, come to my side!"

"Swoosh!!"

Before the middle-aged man’s words had finished echoing, accompanied by a flash of golden light, Red SABER appeared by his side in the next moment.

"MASTER, you finally used the Command Seal!"

"I had no choice. We were tricked. I thought it was Little Red Riding Hood, but it turned out to be the big bad wolf! I leave it to you, SABER. That MASTER is a bit weird, I might not manage alone!"

"Understood!"

This master and servant briefly exchanged a few words, then Red SABER turned and dashed out from around the corner, raising her longsword in front of her. Soon, she saw a black-haired girl standing there at the other end of the road. If Red SABER remembered correctly, that was the girl who had been behind the servant Red SABER had encountered before...

However, unlike before, the girl now had uneven ponytails, and she was wearing a red and black dress, holding a long and a short firearm in her hands—moreover, what made Red SABER feel even more eerie was that in the girl’s left eye, there was a slowly moving golden clock.

"Die!"

Although puzzled, Red SABER still roared and raised her longsword to strike forcefully. Soon, the bright red lightning once again transformed into a sword light, slashing towards the girl.

But facing this sword light, the girl neither dodged nor avoided, standing still. Then she raised her long firearm in her hands, aimed it forward, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

"Huh?"

"What is this...!?"

Seeing the scene in front of her, both Red SABER and her MASTER were stunned. The girl still stood there, unharmed, while at the same time, not far in front of her, the sword light unleashed by Red SABER’s burst of magic power seemed to be frozen in mid-air. The girl, graceful as if dancing at a ball, elegantly twirled to the side, and as she landed, the sword light, like a freed beast, brushed past her and crashed into the wall behind her.

What on earth was that?

"Huhuhuhu, this is the power of a servant, it does look quite impressive,"

However, the girl’s expression remained very calm and elegant.

"Well then, let’s have a fight... come out, Chronos!"

While speaking, the girl raised her right hand—a moment later, with this gesture, an invisible magical power burst forth, and subsequently, a gigantic clock, as tall as two men, appeared behind the girl!

"What?!"

Seeing this scene, both Red SABER and the middle-aged man were greatly startled. Accompanied by the release of the Angel, they could feel the magic power of the girl in front of them suddenly increasing several times, nearly as much as the servant Red SABER!

Could it be that this girl is also a Heroic Spirit?!
