"Kazuma Satou: @Ryuguuin Seiya, I think it's best if you're the main combatant. You're the only one among us who can engage in direct melee combat."

"Kazuma Satou: However, considering that if you fall, and your team has no Dao Tian Command Spell for resurrection, the risk is very high. You can refuse, and I'll think of another plan."

"Ryuguuin Seiya: For you to say such a thing, I acknowledge you as a very competent commander. I accept you as the leader."

"Ryuguuin Seiya: I propose that all command authority for this operation be handed over to Kazuma Satou. What are your opinions?"

"Kurisu Makise: Agreed."

"Shirou Emiya: Agreed."

"..."

"Hachiman Hikigaya: Agreed."

"Kazuma Satou: Alright, then I'll explain the specific arrangements. It's like this..."

"Kurisu Makise: It's quite good."

"Shirou Emiya: I'll do my best."

"Ryuguuin Seiya: Good."

"Hachiman Hikigaya: Then, let's fight!"

"Oh?"

Red Archer watched them exchange something. As a battle-hardened guardian, he naturally wouldn't give his enemies an opening.

He directly projected his twin swords and rapidly advanced, slashing at Kazuma Satou, who had been the most vocal.

"Clang—"

Ryuguuin Seiya raised Gae Bolg to block the strike.

Red Archer pressed down with force, but was held firm?!

"?!"

Something is wrong!

He lifted his knee to kick, but suddenly, Hachiman Hikigaya materialized from behind. As the black mist around him dissipated, he thrust a sword towards Red Archer's heart.

The timing of this sword strike was incredibly vicious!

Red Archer's hands and feet were unable to react to this thrust!

"Hassan of the Hundred Faces (Cursed Arm): Truly a promising assassin."

"Hassan of the Hundred Faces (Hundred Personas): I've wanted to say this for a while now, you really have the talent of an assassin."

"Old Man of the Mountain: Not bad, but still too impatient."

"Rin Tohsaka: Already out? So weak."

"Red Archer: No, Rin? What are you thinking?"

"Red Archer: To think you could kill me so easily, you're celebrating too soon."

"Hmph."

At this critical moment, a cold, disdainful smile appeared on Red Archer's lips as he quickly began a simplified chant:

"Trace on."

A four-layered, pink, flower-shaped shield materialized, blocking the sword without any fluctuation.

It was as thin as paper.

But no matter how hard Hachiman Hikigaya pushed, he couldn't pierce it even a little.

At the same time, Ryuguuin Seiya's raised knee collided directly with Red Archer's oncoming knee, with crimson magic clashing against blue magic, emitting a dull thud.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The red spear and the black and white twin swords clashed fiercely.

Neither of them stopped moving their feet.

Red Archer raised his leg to kick again, but was once again kicked back.

He frowned slightly. Something was wrong. Ryuguuin Seiya in front of him wasn't this strong before.

What's going on?!

"Phew."

Cold sweat beaded on Ryuguuin Seiya's forehead. The real reason for his sweating wasn't the heat from the battle, but the pain.

A pain that pierced his very soul.

Ryuguuin Seiya was currently equipped with multiple Formal Wears simultaneously, a level of adaptability that made him unique among current players.

Among the multiple Formal Wear items he had equipped were Hachiman Hikigaya's Viper Arts and Kazuma Satou's Golden Fleece.

Ryuguuin Seiya directly activated the triple body reinforcement of "Viper Arts," bringing about extreme mental pain. It was only barely usable thanks to the mitigation provided by the Golden Fleece.

It wasn't a matter of mental fortitude; the body and mind were interconnected. If mental pain reached a certain level, the body would be correspondingly affected.

Under the mental amplification of the Golden Fleece, the maximum he could normally activate was triple reinforcement, which was the most suitable multiplier to maintain continuous combat.

"Some kind of body reinforcement... or Magecraft Formal Wear that brings enhancement?"

Red Archer quickly arrived at an answer. After calmly analyzing the situation, he leaped backward into the air, preparing to create distance.

It wasn't that he was afraid of close combat, but rather he judged that victory would be easier in a ranged engagement.

"Snipe, snipe, snipe!"

A cold glint appeared from upstairs, and three arrows shot out, aimed at his impending position.

Red Archer reacted swiftly, cutting down two of the arrows, but this forced him to land prematurely.

The moment he landed, Ryuguuin Seiya closed in.

"Did you really think I wouldn't fight up close?"

Red Archer got a little more serious, increasing the output of his mana. His Gan Jiang Mo Ye were now adorned with reinforced magic circuits.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

For a moment, he was once again pressing Ryuguuin Seiya.

Hmm... wait a minute?

Red Archer noticed that his opponent was gradually getting accustomed to his swordsmanship and fighting style. At first, he could only barely defend, but after a while, he was even able to counterattack.

He knew this was happening while Red Archer was exerting himself!

While not at full power, the opponent had been toyed with by him earlier that day, along with that red-haired brat!

And now, at night, he could confront him head-on. What kind of growth rate was this?!

Red Archer felt a sense of unease. He needed to finish this black-haired man quickly.

While fighting, he silently began to chant:

"I am the bone of my sword."

In the air behind Ryuguuin Seiya, two projected sword-shaped Noble Phantasms instantly materialized and shot towards his forehead and chest like arrows.

"Snipe!"

Kazuma Satou had been on a nearby rooftop with his bow. However, the two were fighting so fiercely that he was afraid of friendly fire and had been observing. Seeing this scene, he decisively loosed an arrow.

The Yew Poison Arrows collided with one of the projected Noble Phantasms, deflecting its trajectory. It struck the asphalt ground nearby and instantly exploded, the surging mana creating a large crater.

But! There was still one more!

"A vow without a sword!"

Hachiman Hikigaya appeared not far behind Ryuguuin Seiya, his focus absolute. Aiming at the incoming Noble Phantasm, he unleashed a sword strike.

Just as the sword and the Noble Phantasm were about to collide.

"Broken Phantasm!"

Red Archer's voice rang out.

The Noble Phantasm instantly detonated.

"BOOM—!!!"

"Aaaahhh!"

Hachiman Hikigaya was blown away, instantly obliterated by the explosion. His hands and arms were mangled and bloody.

Furthermore, since he was standing behind Ryuguuin Seiya, due to the impact of the explosion, he was hurtling towards Ryuguuin Seiya!

But none of this was accidental.

It had all been calculated by Red Archer!

Red Archer, wielding Gan Jiang Mo Ye, continued to suppress Ryuguuin Seiya, while waiting for Hachiman Hikigaya to collide with him, timing his killing blow for that exact moment!

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Ryuguuin Seiya felt what was happening behind him, but he simply didn't have the extra energy to concern himself with his rear. He could only choose to—trust his teammate!

"Rationality Evaporates!"

Shido Itsuka, who had been ready, bent his knees and used his Noble Phantasm simultaneously, launching himself from the ground with monstrous strength!

As a Noble Phantasm with negative effects, it could alleviate the burden of the Golden Fleece having only one instance of mitigation.

Therefore, Kazuma Satou's plan was to avoid using him as much as possible.

However, he had also told Shido Itsuka to make his own judgment, and to use it if it was truly necessary.

In the current situation, he had no choice but to use it!

Shido Itsuka caught Hachiman Hikigaya, who had been blown away by the Illusion Collapse, in a princess carry. He stomped his legs hard into the ground!

Ploughing two deep furrows, He finally came to a halt at the limit, not far behind Ryuguuin Seiya!

"Red Archer" closed in on Ryuguuin Seiya and threw Gan Jiang Mo Ye towards his back in an arc.

The target was none other than, Shido Itsuka and Hachiman Hikigaya!

And to prevent the archer upstairs from sniping, "Red Archer" specifically made the trajectory of Gan Jiang Mo Ye fly close to the ground.

This way, even that almost unerring archer on the other side wouldn't be able to interfere in time!

Immediately after, he projected Gan Jiang Mo Ye into his hand again and continued to suppress Ryuguuin Seiya with all his might.

A cold smile played on his lips.

"Come on, let's see how you choose!"

In the livestream, [Genos: "What?! What happened in just this short moment?"]

[Hisoka: "A perfectly ripe fruit. 'Red Archer's' control of the battle and combat experience completely crushes them."]

[Satou (Ajin): "Oh? This 'Red Archer's' combat experience is a bit off. He should be someone who can return from death."]

[Esdeath: "It seems this battle is already over."]

[Kuroro: "Not necessarily."]

[Hisoka: "That's right, it's not necessarily over yet."]
