Chapter 1650: Interference of Magicians
Su Xiao only had 22 hours and 41 minutes left before returning to Paradise, but he didn't look alarmed.
He only needed to hold out until the end of the Holy Grail War anyway.
This assignment actually had two values. The first is simple survival, but if you just survive, the score for passing it will not be very good.
Given the number of Servants he had killed, his score in this world would clearly not be low.
As for the second meaning, it was to artificially accelerate the summoning of the Holy Grail.
If Su Xiao hadn't been forced to fight the Blood Gate, he might have spent all his time searching for the Servants and their Masters, but in the end, out of the 11 days, most of them were spent fighting the guild, so he didn't have much free time left.
Right now, other than using Rin's family ties, he had no other choice. If he understood correctly, there was probably one dubious old man behind Sakura, and he still didn't know what Servant she was able to summon this time.
If Sakura really was saved by the Blood Gate when she was young, they should also have kept her pure and kind heart, which would allow them to obtain the perfect shell for the Holy Grail.
How could Sakura, that sweet bun, know what she had to do and what she didn't have to do in this Holy Grail war? No. It was most likely run by an old man and received some help from contractors.
----
A quiet little village 60 kilometers south of Fuyuki.
*Ding~*
Startled by the ringing sound, the deer immediately ran away.
Clear water flowed from the bamboo tube directly into the stone pool.
The village was located in a natural canyon, surrounded on three sides by mountains. Several wooden houses were built in the canyon. Smoke billowed from some of the houses, giving the village a peaceful appearance.
— Sakura, don't be shy, come in, " the woman said, soaking in the water. It was now noon, so there was nothing more pleasant for her than to soak in the mountain spring.
A set of black soft armor was neatly laid out near the pool. This armor looked more like a black leotard, especially the two cat ears on the helmet caught the eye.
— I, I don't want to... " Sakura replied and crossed her arms over her chest, looking a little shy.
Just as Su Xiao had predicted, in order to create an artificial Holy Grail, the Blood Gate sent Sakura to a safe place where she would be protected until she reached adulthood.
Although her mentor was an elderly mage, he was a well-known maniac protector of his students. If it wasn't for the original contract, he would never have allowed Sakura to participate in this Holy Grail war, at least he wouldn't have allowed her to fight until she was of age.
For her safety, he gave Sakura Mata an extremely powerful relic — " Mystical Eyes».
— How long are you going to deceive my Master, you cat? another lazy female voice rang out, but there was anger in it as well as laziness.
— If it wasn't for me, your beautiful Master would have been hacked to pieces by a maniac. This guy became a monster a long time ago. Or you think I am... weak? The woman in the water asked and stood up.
There were four intersecting scars on her back. Each of these scars was quite deep and in the past this wound had definitely reached all the way down to her bones.
— He gave me these scars the last time I saw him. That was a very long time ago, a few derivatives... a few years ago. At that time, dozens of idiots decided to surround and kill this guy. You already know the result. We all lost.
Drops of water trickled down the woman's body.
After getting out of the water, she began to put on her black soft armor.
If Su Xiao saw her in the water, he wouldn't know who this lady was, but after she put on her soft armor, he would definitely remember who this " cat " was».
As for the other woman, she is Sakura's Heroic Soul, Medusa. Although it didn't look special, it had an ability that allowed it to instantly kill any Heroic Soul.
— So you're afraid? Medusa asked and crossed her arms over her chest, ignoring her companion's words.
— Trust me, we will win in twenty-two hours, " the masked woman replied and smiled.
Knowing that she was putting a spoke in Su Xiao's wheels gave her great satisfaction.
In the past, Su Xiao almost killed her.
The mask came to this world as an ordinary contractor. Her main mission was simple — she just had to live to see the end of this war.
With the exception of the Blood Gate people, the lone wolves had similar tasks.
As an experienced contractor of the fourth rank, Mask sensed something was amiss as soon as she entered this world. The main task was too simple, so she used her right to obtain basic information about the alignment of forces in this world and learned about the six Masters and seven Servants.
When she saw "Saber: Byakuya", she almost coughed up blood. Her first thought was that it was all a dream, but soon an even more explosive piece of news came to her head: one of the best guilds of the fourth rank, Blood Gate, was also in this world, and the first thing they did was to eliminate the loners.
Cursing everything and everyone, she ran away from Fuyuki. When she accepted her fate as a terrible evaluation, she suddenly saw Su Xiao and Stan "greet" each other on the contractor communication platform.
This set her brain on edge, and after seeing Sakura's status, she made a plan.
«Mato Sakura (Master), Medusa (Gorgon)».
Sakura's servant didn't look any different from the original one, but in reality, it wasn't.
Medusa was labeled "Gorgon", which was the key point.
According to the usual plot, the summoned Medusa would have the image of a Goddess and had the corresponding charm and charisma, but apart from her beauty and charisma, she would not be able to boast of anything else.
But after Athena cursed Medusa and turned her into a Gorgon, her power skyrocketed. They were two completely different Servants. If the power of an ordinary Medusa in the form of a Goddess was equal to 5 units, then the power of a Gorgon was at least 60 units.
What were her "Mystical Petrification Eyes" worth, capable of killing anyone in a matter of seconds.
In terms of attacks, she was in some ways as good as Gilgamesh. If she decided to kill someone with her gaze, even a God would die, let alone a demigod Gilgamesh.
And so, knowing this, the Mask decided to try to curry favor with her. A few days later, she was surprised to discover that Sakura had a very good character, and she was very different from the girl shown in the original work..
----
In the abandoned Fuyuki laboratory.
With a crack, the cable suddenly flared up, lighting up the space.
The tall glass pillars at the corners were filled with all sorts of living things.
— So Sakura left Fuyuki? Even if your Mage Association is responsible for the war, your nose... has decided to go too far, " Su Xiao muttered as he wiped the blood off his hands.
There were several corpses of mages lying nearby.
— This is it... an order from a big shot. He has nothing to do with us, " said a magician in his late twenties, leaning against the experimental apparatus.
His eyes were filled with fear, and blood was running down his chin.
— So, where is Sakura now??
With a click, the collar in Su Xiao's hand flew open.
