"Hoo—"

Red Archer materialized again, panting.

All the Dragon Tooth Soldiers also appeared, but various projected Noble Phantasms were embedded in their bones.

They dissolved into light particles along with the Noble Phantasms they carried.

Red Archer looked at Cú Chulainn standing before him, his pupils contracting slightly.

"You, again?!"

"How did you escape from 'him'?"

Hearing Red Archer's voice, The blue, statue-like figure slowly seemed to react, but then became still again.

"You..."

Red Archer looked across, his magic covering his eyes. Through the darkness and rain, he could see the other's appearance.

The blue figure was riddled with holes, covered in blood, with several fatal wounds.

There was even a large hole in its chest.

The residual magic here... was genuinely from high-level Noble Phantasms.

In its half-closed eyes, only a dying ember remained, filled with the will to die.

"So... you're already dead."

Red Archer breathed a slight sigh of relief. He wondered how it was possible; he had led Cú Chulainn right to that guy.

"Hmph, I never expected... you could still hold on until now."

Red Archer continued to drain his Master's mana, slowly standing up. He limped towards Cú Chulainn's rear, using his left leg, which could still move.

Kazuma Satou guessed what the other party was about to do and immediately fired.

"Sniper!"

Red Archer tilted his head and summoned a black sword, deflecting the incoming arrow. He then extended his hand towards Kurisu Makise.

His target was the staff she was tightly gripping.

If he wasn't mistaken, this staff was Medea's Hecate's Staff, possessing powerful mana supply and recovery effects.

It could be very effective whether in the hands of a Master or a Servant.

As a Servant, as long as he obtained it, he could use it to recover his own condition.

Kurisu Makise wanted to dodge, but it was useless.

"Hmph."

Red Archer moved quickly. Just as he was about to grab the staff's handle, his hand passed right through it, He grasped at empty air.

"Huh?"

What was going on?

Red Archer tried again, but his hand still passed directly through the staff.

[Kischur Zelretch: "What... Magecraft is this?"]

[Rin Tohsaka: "Imaginary Number? Forbidden? I can't tell at all."]

[Merlin: "What is this?"]

[Dr. Roman: "I don't understand."]

[Aizen: "Kyōka Suigetsu? No, this essence... I can't comprehend it either?"]

[Tadakuni: "Wait, holy crap!"]

[Sora: "Holy crap, I get it now too, holy crap!"]

[Umari Tsuchima: "No way?"]

[Luvia: "So what Magecraft or Magic is it?"]

[Tet: "Neither."]

[Tet: "This isn't Magecraft, nor is it Magic. It's—a 'Game Rule'."]

[Rin Tohsaka: "Huh? What do you mean?"]

[Waver Velvet: "Holy crap, this isn't Magecraft? This is... the rule that NPCs can't snatch Player items?!"]

[Tet: "That's right. How can an NPC casually take away loot belonging to a Player?!"]

[Tet: "Hahaha, too genius, it's an unparalleled design. I never expected such a surprise here."]

[A-Xiu: "Haha, so that's how it is, that's great!"]

[Sora: "Hahahahaha, this is too interesting! This is truly, a 'Sora'-ful play!"]

Aizen: "Game rules, huh? Does that mean... there's another way to bypass them?"

Tet: "If the design is truly realistic, then yes—when a 'Player dies,' and the item isn't put into their inventory, it'll drop directly. Perhaps an NPC could pick it up and use it."

Umari Tsuchima: "Then Sister Kurisu Makise is still in danger!"

Gokou Ruri: "Red Archer... Red Archer! You big meanie!"

Sylphy: "He really is... mean."

Misaka Mikoto: "He's not a good person."

Red Archer: "So only they can attack 'me'? (Speechless)"

Ichigo Kurosaki: "Yes."

Red Archer: "...Hmph, say what you will. I've already won this round. Whatever you guys can think of, 'I' can definitely think of it too."

Gabriel: "CS!"

Kanna: "CS!"

Jia Xin Jiang: "CS!"

"Why can't I get it?"

Red Archer looked at the red-haired girl still breathing in front of him. Thinking of a possibility, he swiftly raised the sword in his hand towards her.

"Sniper!"

Kazuma Satou shot another arrow.

Red Archer batted it away with his backhand. The arrow snapped into two pieces. One half, with the arrowhead, struck his face, drawing a bloody gash.

As for the other half, it fell at Cú Chulainn's feet. The fletching lightly brushed his toes before dissolving into nothingness.

The blue figure moved, almost imperceptibly.

"Tsk, it's poisoned too?"

Red Archer clicked his tongue, closed his left eye, and felt a tingling sensation on his forehead.

Ever since this fight started.

The most annoying thing was that green thing constantly shooting arrows from upstairs. The damage wasn't high, but it was infuriating. It always managed to hinder him at crucial moments.

Without them, he would have won long ago.

He threw his knife at Kazuma Satou and then projected several swords, shooting them out as if venting his frustration. The window where Kazuma Satou was located was blown to smithereens.

"Kazuma!"

"Brother!!"

"Come back to life!!!"

Hachiman Hikigaya, seeing his brother disappear in the explosion, immediately cried out in sorrow.

He then thought about letting that damn, bridge-gambling Red Archer win, and he wanted to jump into the sea and commit suicide!

The few people who had lost all combat ability could only watch with bloodshot eyes as Red Archer moved to kill Makise Kurisu!

The moment the knife fell, "Bang—!"

A punch was thrown, sounding like an explosion!

Red Archer, completely caught off guard, was sent flying backward.

He managed to stabilize himself in mid-air, sliding several meters upon landing before half-crouching on the ground. He looked up at the blue figure.

"How are you not dead yet?!"

The original dull, lifeless red eyes of the other party suddenly lit up upon hearing this. He propped up his damaged chest, a grin spreading across his blood-stained lips.

"I... I made a promise with that kid over there, to punish you."

"I also made a promise with this woman, to protect her from you no matter what today!"

"If I were to die so carelessly, —how could I call myself a hero?!"

Balor: "Good, good, good, good!"

Kamijou Touma: "Cool!"

Gintoki Sakata: "Cool!"

Kagura: "Cool!"

Natsu: "Cool!"

Luffy: "Cool!!!"

Rin Tohsaka: "Ah... why isn't my Servant Cú Chulainn? Even a Lancer would be fine instead of a Saber, but why this unlucky Archer?"

Red Archer: "Master, can you please not say such cold and heartless things."

Cú Chulainn: "Hee hee."

Red Archer: "Don't laugh, you were just toyed with by me. Is being handsome useful? I ask you, can you still move?"

Cú Chulainn: "..."

Cú Chulainn: "Tsk, not hee hee."

"Hmph!"

Red Archer snorted and jumped back, creating distance between himself and Cú Chulainn.

The opponent wasn't even at the end of their rope; they were merely a corpse.

As long as the distance was maintained, It wouldn't matter even if he didn't snipe, He could just wait for them to naturally die.

Victory would ultimately be his. Chapter 0031: The Final Ripple (4K, Bonus Update)

"Damn it!"

"Is that guy going to succeed?"

"I'm going down."

Mahiro Oyama and Shido Itsuka exchanged a look, hesitation in their eyes, before finally steeling themselves.

Now, only she was left.
