He could still brace against the landing point.
Three meters!
This was the limit. If he did not use it now, he would really fall to his death!
Ryuguuin Seiya used Levitation Command Spell F, slowing himself down to the limit before landing.
"Crack!"
The sound of both legs breaking came from beneath him.
Damn it. His heart skipped a beat. He had cut it too close.
The moment Archer saw this, he gave up on sniping and jumped straight down from the building. He used footholds several times along the way to slow his descent, landing before Ryuguuin Seiya.
He projected a pair of blades, intending to conserve mana and kill Ryuguuin at close range.
"Sniper!"
A white dragon tooth arrow shot toward him.
Archer raised a blade and knocked it away, then slowly came to a stop and looked around.
Hm?!
Several figures emerged from the bridge, corners, alleys, and buildings all around him.
They surrounded him completely.
Their eyes burned with rage. Their presence was like seven mountains closing in around him as they unleashed a roar of justice:
"Awooo, awooo, awooo!"
"You damn bridge-camping dog!"
"Is camping the bridge fun?!"
A "sunshine big boy" in a green cloak leaped out and let out an exaggerated howl:
"Yaa—ha!"
"Red P! We're here to take your dog life, you bastard! Sushi yourself!"
At those words,
Archer looked at the people surrounding him and the fury in their eyes. He was not nervous at all. Instead, he closed his eyes and coldly curled his lips.
"Hmm—my dad died a long time ago."
The entire scene instantly fell silent. Everyone popped up a question mark.
"...My mom died long ago too."
"Honestly, I forgot who my biological parents were a long time ago."
The moment those three lines left his mouth,
The far side of Fuyuki Bridge
Fell silent in an instant. Only several sharp intakes of breath could be heard, and Fuyuki's temperature suddenly rose by more than ten degrees.
78 Rat: "Rat is shocked.jpg."
Yang Qi Jia: "Huh? What the fuck... is that something a human can say?"
Sour Defeated Ying Bear: "No wonder he camps the bridge. Turns out when one person gets on the bridge, the whole family comes along."
A-Xiu: "I understand."
Shinpachi Shimura: "I understand."
Misaka Mikoto: "I understand."
Rin Tohsaka: "I understand."
Kazuma Satou: "?"
Kazuma Satou: "Understand my ass!"
Kazuma Satou: "Fuck, when this game enters open beta, or when you play it yourselves, you'll understand. Forget whether his entire family is dead or not—even if they aren't, I still feel the urge to wipe out everyone on his family register."
Hachiman Hikigaya: "That's true."
Kurisu Makise: "He chased us around for half the day this morning, you know... just teasing us. He could kill us, but he refuses to. He just slowly toys with us."
Rin Tohsaka: "He... made me laugh from anger."
Rin Tohsaka: "When someone is speechless, they're really speechless."
Rin Tohsaka: "Fuck! Archer! Get over here!"
Archer: "What... wait, why are you raising your hand? Hey, Rin! What are you doing!?"
Rin Tohsaka: "By the name of the Command Spell!"
Archer: "Calm down, Rin, you wouldn't—?!"
Rin Tohsaka: "Starting today! You are not allowed to camp the bridge when you're with me!"
Archer: "Damn it, if I don't go on the bridge, how am I supposed to scout Fuyuki City?"
Rin Tohsaka: "Scout my ass! You're just going out there to draw aggro! The fact that I didn't make you fuck off immediately is already this lady's great mercy!"
Rin Tohsaka: "(Kicks him) What are you standing around for? Go make this lady a cup of tea already. I'm tired from scolding you."
Archer: "?"
Archer: "You can get tired from typing with your thoughts? You only said a few words in real life?"
Rin Tohsaka: "Do you want me to use a Command Spell?"
Archer: "No, sigh, I'm scared of you."
Archer: "I'm going."
Kurisu Makise: "Sis, not bad."
Hachiman Hikigaya: "Not bad, ho ho ho, this young lady's not bad. She's good people."
Kazuma Satou: "Not bad, ho ho ho, this young lady's not bad. She's good people."
Yukino Yukinoshita: "?"
Rin Tohsaka: "Pfft, can you stop making me laugh?"
Archer: "(Wipes his face) Don't spit on my face."
Rin Tohsaka: "Red P, get lost (another kick)! You're interrupting me watching this righteous beatdown!"
Archer: "Rin... you'll regret this! (Threatening)"
Rin Tohsaka: "Hehe. (Wiggles her Command Spell)"
Archer: "Huff huff huff huff huff. (Struggling to endure it) (Glaring with his eyes)."

Pre-Battle Discussion: The Great Battle Against Bridge-Camping Red P! (4K)
Beneath the towering buildings of Fuyuki Park, lights flickered as seven or eight figures faced off in the darkness.
Kazuma Satou and Hachiman Hikigaya stepped forward and carried Ryuguuin Seiya back into the group.
"By the name of the Command Spell, heal!"
Kurisu Makise stepped forward to heal Ryuguuin Seiya, who had retreated into the crowd.
They had gotten this Healing Command Spell from Kazuma Satou's team. It could not be helped; Red P had been screwing with them all day, and for some reason, he had fixated on making their lives miserable.
Sometimes he could have gone for the kill but did not. He just... toyed with them.
Honestly,
Kurisu Makise had never really gotten angry at anyone in her life, but this bot Archer had truly made her see red.
"How do we fight?"
Before the battle officially began,
Hachiman Hikigaya looked at Kazuma Satou, and everyone else looked at him as well.
"Let's enter the group chat and stop time to discuss it first."
"OK." x6
Kazuma Satou: "@Kurisu Makise @Ryuguuin Seiya @Shirou Emiya, I already understand the situation for the three of us on this side. The main issue is your side. What Craft Essences and Noble Phantasms do you have? What condition is everyone in? How many Command Spell resources do you have left?"
Ryuguuin Seiya: "We have no Command Spell resources left, including Dao Tian Command Spells. Red Archer has killed me twice, and Kurisu Makise once. We used them all up."
Ryuguuin Seiya: "My Craft Essence is 'Scarlet Blaze,' a D-rank Red Mana Burst. It enhances the body and can barely let me hold him off for a few exchanges, but I can't face him head-on for more than a minute. Red Archer's physical abilities already far surpass those of humans, while we are still within the range of ordinary humans for now."
Kazuma Satou: "@Shirou Emiya, what about you?"
Shirou Emiya: "I've used up my resources too. My whole body is broken, so I can only sit in a wheelchair now. My Craft Essences are 'Sword Aesthetics E' and the one-use Noble Phantasm 'Loaded Projection E+.'"
Shirou Emiya: "I'll send the specifics to the group. I... can't summarize things as well as Ryuguuin."
Shirou Emiya sent a screenshot of his set to the group:
Reserve Magician Standard Set Type: Enhancement E-rank Magic Formal Wear: "Sword Aesthetics (E)" x1 E-rank Imitation Noble Phantasm: "Loaded Projection (E+)" x24 Universal Command Spell: "Dao Tian Command Spell · D" x0 Specialized Command Spells: "Enhancement Command Spell F" x0, "Analysis Command Spell F" x0, "Levitation Command Spell F" x0
"Sword Aesthetics (E)"
"An old man who devoted his entire life to forging blades. This extracted skill is the instinct of his eyes."
Imitation Craft Essence Effect: Gain Sword Mastery D, All Weapons Mastery E, Forging E.
As an imitation version, it could partially improve one's understanding of swords and enhance one's ability to recognize weapons. Ordinary weapons could be seen through very quickly.
Sword-type Noble Phantasms required a certain degree of analysis before they could be mastered, while other types of Noble Phantasms required time for in-depth analysis.
Everyone quickly skimmed through it.
Only by knowing their teammates' abilities could they coordinate properly.
Kazuma Satou: "@Kurisu Makise, have you found any new uses for your 'Person of All Trades'? Have you found gems to use for 'Gem Magecraft'?"
Kurisu Makise: "I already sold 'Gem Magecraft.' The new thing I bought can't be used here."
Kurisu Makise: "I haven't developed any new use for 'Person of All Trades.' I can only summon enhanced Dragon Tooth Soldiers, and I don't have the materials yet, so I can't use it... We haven't picked up many materials this run."
Kazuma Satou: "We have materials—plenty of them. We already cleared out the entire former teaching building of Hozu Academy."
Kurisu Makise: "OK."
Kazuma Satou: "Wait, what did you buy? Can you tell me? It might be useful. Of course, forget it if it involves your privacy?"
Kurisu Makise: "An Inferior Imitation Heroic Spirit Foundation. I sent a screenshot to the group."
// Item: Inferior Imitation Heroic Spirit Foundation Type: Foundation / Material Rank: E Use: Servant-exclusive. Fixes the corresponding Shadow of the Heroic Spirit onto the foundation, thereby forming a Shadow of the Foundation. If the Heroic Spirit itself chooses to respond and project its consciousness, it will manifest.
Kazuma Satou: "I don't really understand it. I can't see how to use it, so it's probably useless."
Kazuma Satou closed his eyes and organized his thoughts. After considering it again and again, he made his decision.
