"Ri————"
Before Shinji Matou could tell Drake what he had deduced, his vision quickly turned into an image filled with colors.
That was because the sudden and intense speed completely disrupted Shinji Matou's vision.
"Pfft——!"
Drops of wet liquid also fell on Shinji Matou's cheeks as he felt dizzy.
What followed was the piercing sound of breaking through the air.
Drake, who held on tightly to Shinji Matou to prevent him from falling off the cliff, half-knelt on the ground, looking at the wound on his shoulder that was scratched by the sudden flying arrow.
A tense atmosphere permeated the entire cliff under the azure sunlight, bringing Drake extremely heavy pressure.
In fact, she had long expected that Emiya Shirou would attack her while she was standing on a high ground.
Rather, it could be said that she came to the high place with the intention of luring Emiya Shirou to attack.
She wanted to use herself as bait to determine Emiya Shirou's location.
Shirou Emiya is a magician, not a Servant with a historical background like himself. All the information Drake can get can only be judged through yesterday's battle.
After all, whether it was the dual guns displayed by Shirou Emiya or the close combat skills he demonstrated at close range, Drake believed that Shirou Emiya who destroyed the wooden box should be nearby.
She did not think as complicatedly as Matou Shinji, and concluded that it was Shirou Emiya who destroyed the wooden box.
Drake only knew that his opponent was Shirou Emiya, and only an opponent would attack the wooden box.
The probability that others would take action against the wooden boxes they hid was too low.
But Drake didn't expect that in addition to using dual guns, Shirou Emiya could also use a bow.
And these swords and arrows flying at us were, without a doubt, of the level of heroic spirits.
If Drake had not been sure of the existence of Shirou Emiya around him, he would have been ready to attack Shirou Emiya at any time.
This flying sword arrow would probably pierce her chest with incredible accuracy.
The sound couldn't even keep up with the speed of the flying sword arrow.
By the time you hear the sound of the air being pierced, it's already too late. The sword arrow will pierce your chest before the sound reaches you.
Fortunately, Drake, who was paying close attention, saw the silver flash coming towards him and barely dodged it, with the flash only glancing across his shoulder.
“Is this really a level that a magician can achieve?”
Drake's expression became serious, and pressure began to build around her.
Although she saw the flying sword and determined the approximate location of Shirou Emiya, the situation was now extremely unfavorable to her.
Drake had no idea where Shirou Emiya was exactly.
With her naked eyes, she only observed the cliffs in the distance, which looked nothing amiss.
Even many details cannot be seen clearly.
At this moment, Shirou Emiya was in the invisible state of [Haunted by Demons], and the distance was already extremely far.
It was almost impossible for Drake to lock onto Shirou Emiya's figure with his naked eyes.
"Are you okay, Rider?"
Shinji Matou didn't care about his dizziness. He was extremely nervous and asked Drake with a worried look.
"It's just a scratch, but the feeling of being sniped from a distance is really unpleasant--!"
At the moment Drake finished speaking, hundreds of silver beams flashed in the sky, pouring towards her like a violent storm.
Drake knew in his heart that these swords and arrows were no match for the flintlock in his hand.
"laugh--"
A sound of breaking through the air arose.
Drake stomped the ground hard, and his figure dodged to the side with a strong wind. Countless sword rains fell from the sky, accurately hitting the place where she had stood before.
After determining Shirou Emiya's approximate location, Drake had plenty of time to dodge.
“Really? I’m the villain now! Don’t blame me for showing no mercy! My job is Rider!”
"All guns, fire back at me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Drake, who was dodging with Matou Shinji, suddenly became extremely impatient. She didn't like dodging like a mouse.
The real battle is a head-on conflict.
Along with the sudden momentum rising from Drake, a huge black shadow emerged in the air, appeared above Drake, and completely obscured her figure.
Countless sword arrows pierced heavily into the thing that suddenly appeared above Drake's head.
It was an extremely huge three-masted galleon floating in the air.
The huge red bottom of the ship floating in the air showed an extremely heroic momentum.
It raised its sails, ignored the sword arrows falling like rain, and continued to move forward.
At this moment, all eighteen cannons were aimed at Emiya Shirou.
Extremely powerful magic mixed with strong winds quickly condensed inside the muzzles of the guns, and they were gathered in the blink of an eye.
The air was wailing, and a terrifying aura was coming from the gun muzzles.
“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!!!!”
The beam of light containing extremely powerful magical power moved at an extremely terrifying speed, stirring up a violent storm. It pierced through space like a meteor and shot towards Shirou Emiya's direction.
"This is————!"
Shinji Matou looked at the sail floating in the air in great shock. He knew that as a Rider, Drake could naturally summon his own ship, and he had also seen the three-masted galleon named Golden Hind in books.
But the pictures in the book obviously could not give him the same strong impact as they did now.
This was the first time he saw Drake summon his mount as a Rider, the Golden Deer.
Shinji Matou was completely shocked the moment he saw such a huge and surging momentum.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! It's time to get on board, Master!!"
Seeing Shinji Matou's expression, Drake also laughed heartily, and the huge anchor was thrown from the boat, hitting the ground beside him heavily.
Seeing the frightened expression on Shinji Matou's face, Drake threw him on the anchor without hesitation and stood on it himself.
“Boom boom boom boom boom boom!”
In the distance, dozens of loud bangs shook the air, bringing with them a violent burst of fire and impacting winds and waves.
The entire rock cliff was completely destroyed, and the horrific impact caused the rubble to fall down madly.
Under the terrifying bombardment of the Golden Deer, a hill was shattered in just the blink of an eye.
At this moment, a number appeared before their eyes.
"1"
Chapter 552: Bombardment, Bombardment, Bombardment!!
An extremely spectacular scene appeared on an island somewhere in the January Sea.
Shirou Emiya guessed that Drake's mount as a Rider should be her exclusive ship, but he did not expect that this ship could actually float directly in the air.
Drake, as a Rider, did not ride his mount not because they were on land.
It's just that she doesn't intend to ride her own ship to crush the monsters on this island.
I'm afraid that if she wanted to, she could easily raze the island to the ground through artillery bombardment.
It was also the first time that Shirou Emiya saw a ship sailing in the sky instead of in the ocean.
However, the current situation made it impossible for Shirou Emiya to express any emotion.
With a roar like raging waves, the shells turned into beams of light and continued to be fired towards Shirou Emiya's position.
The powerful force could easily destroy the cliff where Shirou Emiya was standing.
Although Drake only roughly determined Shirou Emiya's position, under such indiscriminate attacks, Shirou Emiya had to move and dodge.
The range affected by the explosion of these shells is also extremely large, and even if they do not hit directly, their power cannot be underestimated.
“Set sail! Head for the goal!”
Drake said this with a surge of excitement from the bottom of his heart, lowered the brim of his hat slightly, and confidently grasped the flintlock in his hand, pointing it forward.
"Buzz!"
At this moment, the roar of the sails also came from the sky. It tore the air in front of it and sailed forward with unstoppable momentum.
Standing on the cliff, looking at the large red ship floating in the air, feeling the intense burning magic power and the muzzle of the gun raising a scorching beam of light, Shirou Emiya couldn't help but reveal a solemn expression on his face.
“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—Boom!”
The sound of bombing continued to ring out, and countless cliffs and rocks were turned into pieces under these continuous attacks.
The earth seemed to be wailing constantly, and the entire island was shaking violently under Drake's merciless bombardment.
And those gun barrels still showed no signs of stopping.
With violent fluctuations of magical power, the muzzle of the gun was still pointed forward and fired.
Even under the suppression of such powerful firepower, Drake did not think that Shirou Emiya, the Master, would die.
But she was also extremely sure that Shirou Emiya was still within the area she was bombing.
“Swish, swish, swish, swish!!!!!!!”
At the moment the third round of bombardment began, countless sword arrows shot out from the thick fog and once again turned into a rain of swords and shot towards the Golden Deer.
"Keep bombarding—!"
Facing the rain of swords that came again from the thick fog, she did not panic at all, and calmly directed the muzzles of the guns on her ship to adjust their positions.
"Bang bang bang bang bang!"
It was clearly the collision between the beam-like artillery fire and the steel-like weapons that were flying towards them.
However, those flying sword arrows with chains were like bombs ready to explode. The moment the light beams touched the sword arrows, a low and loud explosion sounded, echoing in the sky.
The flames caused by the collision spread out in the form of flame waves, causing waves of flames and air, sweeping in all directions.
Shinji Matou, who was standing on the deck, almost couldn't keep his body steady. He opened his eyes with great difficulty and looked at the scene in front of him that looked like fireworks.
The temperature in the air also soared suddenly, causing the atmosphere to distort.
This attack method that completely disregarded the loss of weapons also really shocked Drake.
Then he laughed heartily.
"Bang bang bang bang bang!"
Whenever the constantly flying sword arrows and beam-like artillery bombardments met in the expanding waves of fire and air, the explosion of the shock space would shake up, setting off violent flames and impacts again, making the waves of fire and air that filled the sky even more intense.
However, this scene did not last long.
"If that's all, you're underestimating the Golden Deer!!"
In the next moment, a violent wave of magic power like a flame ignited on Drake's body, and the turret completed charging at a faster speed.
Then——
"call!"
The crimson beam that burst out with a terrifying impact directly broke through the continuous explosions in front, as if poking a huge hole, dispersing the surging flames, and then, several crimson beams fell heavily on the ground.
"Boom————!"
The more violent impact waves, with a strong flame, rolled madly in all directions like a raging sea.
The cliff that had been completely destroyed and turned into rubble turned into ashes that floated in the air the moment the artillery fire hit it. Even the sea water that kept pouring in evaporated the moment it approached.
"2"
The glaring numbers once again appeared in front of everyone.
"wrong--!!!!"
In the brief moment that the beam of light penetrated, Drake did not think that this bombardment could kill Shirou Emiya.
