Pendragon's Infinity Gauntlet

bone.

Dolls made of non-human bones launched a massive attack from the other side of the corridor...!

"Tohsaka, that's...?"

Lily was clearly seeing something so terrifying for the first time, and instinctively asked the magician expert in her group for advice.

"Golem, it's a kind of familiar, right? Come over here quickly! We'll leave the others to Archer! Even if there are hundreds of these, they're no match for Archer!"

"Um—I'm sorry, Archer!"

Lily and Rin Tohsaka ran towards the stairs.

Behind her, all she could hear was the sound of Archer scattering those strange bone dolls, and Saber followed closely behind.

—Run down the stairs.

The distance from the fourth floor to the first floor is not far.

but--

"Hi!"

The wooden sword, enhanced by magic, shattered the dragon tooth soldier blocking its path.

Lily was a little out of breath, but there was a hint of excitement in her eyes as she tried her best to regulate her breathing.

This is the third one.

At Lily's request, she will handle the situation while Pendragon provides backup.

She certainly had no objections, and since there wasn't much resistance at the moment, it didn't really affect their progress. Rin Tohsaka didn't say anything either.

Lily and the others thought that the person who set up the barrier had released these familiars to stop them. Rin Tohsaka, having encountered a similar situation in Shinto before, was even more convinced of this because of her preconceived notions.

Only Pendragon, who had read the script, knew that the appearance of these dragon tooth soldiers was due to the activation of the barrier, which triggered Caster's protection mechanism.

This fiercely protective husband not only left his familiar at the school where the teachers work, but also has a clone that follows and protects him at all times, reaching the point of being a yandere.

"Tohsaka, where's the base of the barrier!?"

Lily drove like a madwoman from the fourth floor to the first, following the same method Pendragon had taught her that morning.

P.S.: This is a make-up chapter today. I wrote a few hundred more words each day, plus the thousand-plus words I saved over the weekend, and managed to put together one chapter 233.

Chapter 93 Let Me Handle This (Bonus Chapter)

Chapter Ninety-Three

"Uh—ah, almost there! It's the classroom over there!"

Rin, who had been hiding in the back ready to provide support at any time, was suddenly called upon and immediately pointed to a spot ten meters ahead.

A few slower Dragon Tooth Soldiers were chasing after them on the stairs behind them. In order to remove the barrier as soon as possible, Lily and the others didn't have time to pay attention to these small fry who were lagging behind...!

The bamboo swords held in both hands reacted quickly, deflecting the attacking sword.

At the same time, he coordinated his footwork with a movement even faster than a defense, slashing at the undefended body.

"ten……"

Lily silently counted for herself.

However, the number of these familiars has not decreased.

At first glance, there are more than ten of them in the corridor...!

"So many! This is really a pain in the neck...! These things should be finished by now!"

Lily adopted a balanced stance, slowly retreating while adjusting her breathing rhythm.

For a high-level familiar like this to know how to cooperate, facing three at the same time is already pushing their potential to the limit. If Lily didn't possess magic power, she might not have been able to harm them.

What was displayed in front of them was a dense, overwhelming mass, which was beyond her ability to handle. The situation was urgent, so it was best to leave it to the big boss to control the situation.

"Saber!"

Lily's words made Rin feel very uncomfortable. It made her feel superfluous. She even got her job of speaking. Who is Saber's Master after all?

"Lily, step back...!"

As a mage, Rin Tohsaka charged to the front, and Lily, while surprised, retreated as she had instructed.

moment.

Miss Rin took her place and threw a gem toward the Dragon Fang Soldier who was pushing her forward.

"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes—!"

Reciting the incantation in another language, the scene before Lily's eyes instantly transformed into a pure white light.

"—"

This was a magic spell to break the enemy's spell. The magic that made up the Dragon Tooth Soldier was dissolved in that instant. There were no signs of destruction in the corridor, only scattered bone fragments on the ground.

"Let's go, the person who set up the barrier should be there."

Without letting up, he ran towards the classroom.

Lily and Pendragon followed closely behind, stepping into the bright red classroom.

—A true hell.

The air that filled the classroom could no longer be called a gas.

The vaporized blood stained the viewers' eyes like paint.

Depressed groans could be heard from all around.

This is the base of the barrier, the place where the dissolving effect is strongest.

The students lying on the ground were completely different from the students on the fourth floor.

The moans she heard were merely Lily's imagination, because the scene before her was far too horrific.

The students lying on the ground were horribly pale and motionless, like wax figures.

Such a scene is reminiscent of corpses abandoned like garbage in the wasteland, piled up into heaps of bodies.

Rin Tohsaka's legs were trembling, but she still stared at the scene before her without blinking.

A grinding, gritting sound came from behind.

Rin tried her best to suppress the anger and guilt in her heart, her teeth chattering, as she desperately stared at the scene before her.

"—"

Rin Tohsaka lifted her still trembling legs and walked forward.

Between the tables,

There is one living person.

A boy with purple seaweed-like hair sat down on the ground as if trying to blend in with the students who had fallen to the ground, and looked up at Rin who appeared in front of him.

"Shinji Matou, it's you...!"

Without even thinking, Rin Tohsaka called out his name the moment she saw his face.

They were more than just ordinary acquaintances. Rin Tohsaka had previously thought that her family lineage had completely declined and withdrawn from the competition, but reality gave her a harsh lesson.

Never underestimate anyone who gets involved in magic.

"Tohsaka—"

Shinji Matou looked at Rin, whose expression was unfriendly, and his voice trembled slightly.

"It wasn't me! I... I can explain, it wasn't me... She... she ran away, this has nothing to do with me!"

Rin Tohsaka, her buttocks pressed against the classroom floor, kept backing away. Her angry glare alone was enough to frighten the boy into uttering incoherent words.

murderous look!

This is a chilling killing intent, like Lancer's.

"I won't listen to your excuses. I'm going to make you pay for everything you've done, no matter what."

Rin Tohsaka relentlessly pursues Shinji.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no...! It wasn't me, it wasn't me, it wasn't me, it wasn't me...!!!!"

Shinji Matou shook his head frantically, trembling, until he retreated to the wall.

"'It wasn't me'? How dare you say such a thing. Fine, now remove the barrier right now. Otherwise, I'll kill you. I will absolutely, absolutely kill you."

Rin Tohsaka's angry expression had now calmed down. She simply stared at the cowardly boy in front of her and said this as if stating a fact.

Lily's expression became quite interesting; she wasn't sure if Rin Tohsaka was trying to scare her or was serious.

But judging from her tone, it seemed like she wasn't just saying it casually.

Magician Rin Tohsaka is prepared to fight against her opponents. She is no longer just the excellent student that Lily knew!

"Ah—uh, no, I said it wasn't me, Rider has already run away...!!!"

"Since you're unwilling to remove the barrier, then kill me."

She was really angry.

Perhaps he lost himself after seeing the terrible state of this classroom.

The boy, who was leaning against the wall, was lifted up by her neck, her slender fingers unleashing a force that was enough to suffocate anyone!

Shinji Matou's face flushed red, his eyes bulged as if they were about to burst, and his eyeballs were filled with hideous blood vessels. His tongue rolled outwards.

He no longer had the strength to speak, and struggled desperately to remove Rin Tohsaka's hand from his neck.

"No, Tohsaka!"

Seeing that Rin Tohsaka was about to seriously strangle the culprit, Lily rushed forward to try to stop her.

Although Lily felt no pity for the scum who orchestrated the barrier that killed all the teachers and students in the school, she didn't want her friend to make the wrong choice because of it.

"Put him aside and listen to me, Tohsaka. You'll regret it if you do."

P.S.: Looks like I still owe two more chapters? Hmmmm... feels like I owe quite a lot. (v30136598)

Chapter 94 Shinji Matou...Shirou?

Chapter Ninety-Four

Lily tried to calm her voice as she attempted to persuade Rin, who was blinded by anger.

Are you prepared to get your hands stained with blood?

Pendragon stopped being a bystander and, compared to Lily's patient persuasion, became more direct.

"If not, I have a better way."

Perhaps because those unaware of the barrier had left, the barrier, now without guidance, had lost its magic and was gradually collapsing.

The blood-red air slowly returned to normal, and a touch of blue appeared in the sky.

Rin Tohsaka's slightly reddened eyes gradually cleared, and she saw the students lying in the classroom, gritting her teeth in regret.

"—"

However, the hand gripping Shinji Matou's neck gradually loosened.

That profile was just like Tohsaka's usual self.

But his knees were still trembling, and his eyes looked as if he was about to cry.

"—"

...I don't know if it was regret or sadness.

But Lily finally understood.

She is very tough, capable, and a magician who can work on her own.

But in essence, she is still a real girl, befitting her age.

Having been rescued, Shinji Matou coughed desperately, gasping for breath, savoring the beauty of life.
