They've already fought their way through the Holy Grail War, and you still call them dragons?

"Hey, don't get too excited! We're not overtaking. The one who ran away is the enemy. We're chasing him!"

"it is good--!"

Melyuchina let out a low roar and spread her arms. Her skin expanded and magic power gushed out. A tall weapon shaped like a laser sword was instantly created.

But this wasn't a lightsaber. The magic power it released shot out in a straight line, a stream of shimmering particles radiating intense light within the air current, but the direction of the radiation was completely opposite to the direction the body was moving forward.

This is a super rocket booster!

"Shit!" Emiya's pupils shrank, and realizing what was going to happen, he tightly grasped the two dragon horns, and instantly coiled his legs and feet, wrapping them around Melyuchina's waist and legs.

The next second, after Melyusina adjusted her direction, there was a thunderous explosion, and the stream of light that was ejected became several times stronger, turning Emiya and her into a "lightning-fast" light and shadow, dragging a long tail flame and shooting towards the distance of the city.

The deafening, thunderous explosions caught the attention of many people braving the downpour. On the wind- and rain-resistant streets of Bunkyo Ward, a strange phenomenon also drew the astonishment of several children:

Mom, look quickly, it’s a shooting star that can turn!

----

Odin, riding his horse at full speed, slowly lowered his altitude, turning flexibly while going down.

His target was an artificial lake in the suburbs. Under the pouring rain, the empty and deserted lake surface was stirred up by dense splashes of water.

It looks ordinary, but it is actually a temporary arrangement made by Odin through the opening of space. As long as he enters it from the water surface in time, he can transfer to the Nibelungen and escape, making it impossible for Emiya to find his location no matter what.

Although there is still a considerable distance left, this distance is nothing to the eight-legged Pegasus.

Boom——!

Just as this thought arose, Odin once again heard the sound of thunder behind him.

He couldn't help but feel his blood pressure rising and he felt physically and mentally exhausted.

The lake is clearly right in front of us, just this little bit, can you please not come...

bass!

Emiya, who was biting closely behind, swung the blade with one hand. In an instant, the dangerous feeling of death was transmitted to Odin, but at this moment, he no longer had the will to fight, so he responded without thinking -

Odin waved his hand and moved the unconscious Source Girl hostage to the corresponding position to use as a "meat shield". If the other party still wanted to take her back, he would have to tie his hands and feet when he drew his sword.

But the expected development did not happen.

A hand reached out from behind and rested on Genji's arm.

Oh no! Odin immediately realized that Emiya had just faked a shot. He had just dropped his weapon at the moment of the sword swing, thus taking the opportunity to snatch the source girl!

At this time, Odin of course also held the Source Girl tightly and refused to let go.

The two groups of people pulled Yuan Zhinv at the same time in the air, carrying amazing kinetic potential energy, and both fell rapidly.

There was a loud splash, and a huge wave exploded high on the surface of the artificial lake. The snow-white waves expanded exaggeratedly on the surface of the lake, as if tens of millions of Luzon divers jumped into the swimming pool with ferocious faces, splashing out zero-point high-profile water.

After a while, the lake finally returned to calm, and both parties disappeared.

Chapter 223: I didn’t expect this to be a match

Endless water pressed towards Emiya from all directions. It was an overwhelmingly suffocating and uncomfortable feeling. It didn't feel like water, but rather like being forced into a thick rubber tube, his entire body subjected to irregular, high-intensity compression.

When Emiya tried hard to open his eyes underwater, Melyusina was already beside him, holding his hand tightly.

Only then did Emiya realize that he had never loosened his grip on the hostage boy's hand, while Odin grabbed the other side, and the tip of the spear in his hand turned into a lightning-like red light and stabbed forward, but was deflected by Melyusina's sword light.

In addition to the troops from both sides, heavy blue water pressure and foam also surrounded Emiya, and the surroundings here were also filled with blue.

He could hardly even tell up from down and around.

The reason why it is said to be "almost" is because behind Odin, who is riding on Pegasus, is a suspended black island!

It was a solitary stone island, encased in a black rock wall, its details obscured. The island, enclosed by the solid wall, seemed close at hand, yet an invisible layer of space separated it. No matter how much magic was used to enhance vision, a thorough observation from this position was impossible.

But that look reminded Emiya of the "Wandering Sea".

The Wandering Sea is also known as the "Original Workshop, Podendez". Its headquarters is located in Northern Europe. It is said that in the distant past, the magicians of the Age of Gods built a workshop on an isolated island in the vast sea in order to isolate themselves.

The black wall surrounding the island is called the "Inherited Defense." The magicians of the Wandering Sea created this defense to hinder observation. Not only did it turn the Wandering Sea itself into a mobile singularity, making it inaccessible to humans, it even made their own workshop and the island "disappear from the universe."

Even if the Wandering Sea of ​​a certain era is destroyed, only the shadow of the "former Wandering Sea" of that era is destroyed, and it has no impact on the past, future or the original Wandering Sea.

The magicians wandering within the sea practice magic from the Age of Gods, believing that modern magic is child's play. They lack concern for the modern era and are solely focused on pursuing the Age of Gods.

They will only remove the inherited defenses and open the gate on the last day of each year to recruit the "destined people" of this era to study on the island.

So this "Odin" is a member of the Age of Gods magicians from the Wandering Sea?

Take Medea, for example. Her spatial manipulation magic is a hallmark of the Age of Gods. Add to that the previously demonstrated techniques of creating clones, puppets, summoning spirits, and drawing upon the power of vast quantities of gods—all sorts of magic that would seem unimaginable to modern minds.

Taking all of this into consideration, this guy's characteristics are completely consistent.

Gululu.

As bubbles flew, Odin's patience was gradually worn away by setbacks and entanglements.

At this moment, he still didn't know how Emiya, who was standing opposite him, was arranging an identity for his Nibelungen in his mind.

Odin's only thought was to quickly escape the entanglement. He had deliberately broken into the Genji Heavy Industries building and abducted the Genji girl, not because of the scarcity of this emperor-level hybrid fighter. To the Dragon King, hybrid bloodlines were nothing new.

Odin suppressed his grievances. What he really needed was the qualification of being the master of the Source Girl!

Odin was about to begin studying the heroic spirits developed by the Norton brothers. He initially speculated that if he wanted to fully master this technology, the key condition that was indispensable was the authority of the White King.

But it didn't matter. He had already prepared a First Generation Bloodline descendant whose "Crown" was no less powerful than the Dragon King's fellows, the "Saint" Regis Reif, as his experimental subject. It might not succeed, but at least it wouldn't be fruitless.

Finally, another thing that gave Odin a headache was the Master qualification. None of his men had obtained the stigmata of the Command Seals, so Odin thought of the Source Girl who was controlled by the sound of the clapper, and went to her in person to snatch this controllable chess piece.

Who the hell would have thought that even in such a situation, I would happen to run into a jinx like Emiya!

Odin swung his spear to quickly push away the disturbance from Emiya and Melyusina. The movements of the two opposing sides were slowed down by the heavy water pressure, but Odin was not affected, because it was not the water pressure at all, but the space channel he opened up that was squeezing the opposing sides!

A very vivid description - the real world is like a strong and tight rubber that does not allow any gaps. Odin's space opening is like digging out a narrow hole or a thin slit pipe from the thick rubber to accommodate his own passage, similar to the Einstein-Rosen bridge in physics.

Although Emiya and the other two who forced their way in were stuck in the gap, they were still severely squeezed by the real space outside the rubber tube because they did not know how to dig!

Damn it, this doesn't mean Odin will have it easy. He needs to devote his energy to locating the coordinates of the opposite destination and prevent these two guys from chasing him all the way to his lair.

If you give up and devote yourself to the battle in such an environment, you may deviate from the target or even fail to transfer, which would be very funny!

"Boom!"

Odin was astonished to see that Emiya, who was squeezed in the space, used his other hand to withstand the pressure and projected the long sword California Kiyomitsu.

At this time, because Emiya had been using the meditation method to continuously observe the surrounding world not long ago, he vaguely discovered that the water quality here was not right. It had a softer and thicker feeling, enveloping his body and pressing on his internal organs. This pressure made Emiya unable to speak or make a sound.

This is not water, but a space that is being squeezed, and they are suffering from this squeezing.

No wonder they haven't reached the real Wandering Sea yet. This is just a passage that is being opened up leading to it.

Space technology... inherent barrier...

It was as if Emiya had grasped an important piece of the puzzle that he had been lacking, the one that would allow him to skillfully unleash the Infinite Blade Works.

So that's how it is. The inherent barrier formed by the landscape is modified by the real world as it erodes reality. Essentially, as the alien space unfolds, the unreal existence is oppressed and negated by the real space. This modification is similar to the compression of the real space they are currently experiencing!

But the current situation was too critical to allow Emiya to continue to savor this rare experience... His face was cold as he stared at the opposite side. No matter what, he couldn't let Odin leave safely!

Emiya, centering his hand around the girl he was holding, exerted force, wiping California Clear Light with one hand across her body, aiming directly at Odin across from him. In this strange, watery space, his ability to shift his body through the power of his legs and feet was completely useless.

If you want to launch the unavoidable "Three-Stage Stab of Innocent", you can only rely on the stupid method and close the distance madly!

Beside him, Melyuchina unleashed an astonishing amount of magic power. She also used a clumsy method—winning by sheer quantity.

Melyuchina stubbornly extended the sword light straight forward against the pressure of space. She no longer worried about Odin's Spear of Destiny, but instead fiercely stabbed it into the eight-legged Pegasus Sleipnir that was spewing thunder beside her. In an instant, the bones and flesh were torn apart, and the iron hoof was broken!

Odin was startled by the noise and wanted to remedy the situation, but then he noticed that Emiya on the opposite side was holding up his treasure, California Clear Light, which was sharp and dazzling, flashing with an ominous light, and was almost passing over Genjima's body and was close at hand.

Ignorance——!

Damn, there’s no time to take away the complete chess piece.

Odin made a quick decision. First, he would cut off the hand of the Source Maiden and see if he could transplant it into the hands of his subordinates and continue to function normally even with the Command Seals.

He raised the sharp tip of the Spear of Destiny high up, causing Emiya to instantly become alert, but he merely slashed the edge of the nearby area, and the scarlet spear light flashed, causing blood to splatter.

——Three bursts!

Emiya's face was covered with blood gushing out from someone unknown, and his aim was interrupted all of a sudden. With a "pop" sound, an arm was cut off from the other side and fell into his arms.

The next second, the water world completely collapsed, the sky and the earth shook, and the calm and dense water flow suddenly became violent, carrying Emiya and Melyusina away from this place completely.

The isolated island tightly surrounded by black barriers disappeared from Emiya's sight in the blink of an eye.

----

Pfft!

The sound of water erupted, and Emiya could only hear gurgling bubbles and violent water flows in all directions - even so, he showed no signs of being drowned. Instead, the water seemed to be repelling him.

When the water world collapsed, Emiya and Melyusina's first reaction was to hold hands, not daring to relax for a moment. They had no idea what kind of horrific accident this spatial collapse would cause.

Fortunately, when Emiya looked up again, he saw the normal world.

The surrounding environment was like a dark underground laboratory, with bottles, jars and unrecognizable equipment placed randomly.

The two turned around and saw that they had just flown out of a culture pool with several suspicious clones floating in it. The Source Girl he had pulled back lay quietly by the pool.

Chapter 224: Buddha laughs with you

"His arm was severed."

Emiya quickly stepped forward and moved the unconscious Minamoto no Chitose away from the edge of the pool. The latter's broken arm was still bleeding, and the blood fell to the floor and flowed into the gaps under the steps. A strong fishy smell gradually spread.

Smelling the smell, Emiya couldn't help but frown. He lifted the broken arm of Minamoto no Chitose upwards, until it was higher than Minamoto no Chitose's heart. The rapid blood loss caused by the heart finally gradually slowed down.

In the dim light, Emiya squinted and took a closer look. He saw that the broken part of his arm was smooth as a mirror, with a charred mark. It looked like a large, ugly scar that was too stubborn to be removed. Could it be that this thing would affect the boy's recovery?

And it looks a little familiar.

When Nono was pierced by Odin's spear of fate, he also had this mark.

Speaking of Odin… Emiya raised his hand again, grasping his right shoulder and removing a slender arm that had been draped over it. Gauntlets and arm armor similar to those worn by ancient knights were firmly fixed to the arm.

The features are obvious, this is Odin's arm.

The armor was ancient in style and intricately carved with patterns and carvings. It was obvious that it had undergone extraordinary magical processing to enhance some kind of performance...

However, the arm armor was not complete, and the sharp cut cut it in a smooth straight line... Odin's special treatment was still no match for the absolute penetration characteristics of the "Innocent Three-Section Stab", and the smooth cross-section seemed to be a silent mockery of this guy.

"Melyuzina, please help me find some clean cloth here."

"it is good."

Melyusina replied with a slightly reluctant look on her face. She didn't really want to leave Emiya's side right now.

Just a moment ago, when Emiya was riding her at full speed, Melyusina felt for some reason that her whole body was heating up, as if her body itself was making a nearly excited moan during the flight.

Melyuchina reached back and touched her slightly burning waist and hips. A wave of heat suddenly surged up from her back, and a blush spread across her face. This situation made her puzzled...

In fact, she likes manned flights and competing with other flying objects in the air?

Or was she simply enjoying the warm feeling of being ridden?

Melyusina, filled with doubts, walked deeper into the laboratory. It grew increasingly dark, and the eerie atmosphere was filled with the scent of disinfectant. Melyusina's nose twitched, and she couldn't help but frown.

She looked at the equipment and devices that she could not understand at all. Although the lighting system here was out of order and the light was dim, this did not hinder Melyusina's meticulous observation.

This is a large laboratory divided into several areas by several pieces of high-hardness glass. In addition to the culture pool where the experimental clones float, the surrounding area is also divided into a control room where electronic equipment is integrated, and a biological experimental area where biological experimental equipment, including various culture dishes and opaque containers, is stored.

The last corner looked more like a combination of a storage room and an office. Several piles of messy paper documents were stacked haphazardly on the desk, and a lonely storage cabinet stood next to it, with the door half open, as if it had been visited by a rat that had sneaked in a long time ago.

"..."

The environment of this place was similar to the laboratory where she was "born" - although she couldn't remember it clearly, the vague impression made her feel instinctively disgusted.

Disgust for researchers who indulge in human experiments.

Anyone who often lives in this place that seems like an experimental research institute is probably like a dirty, smelly rat or a dark worm that cannot stand the sunlight.

Melyuchina covered her nose with her hand as she walked in the corridor, her footsteps making a clattering sound on the floor, and this thought inadvertently crossed her mind.

She looked around and walked straight to the desks and lockers.

"Hey, Yuan Zhisheng, are you still at the company headquarters?"
