Who was Kiritsugu Emiya? Weber thought for a long time before finally finding someone in his memory who matched that name. So he was that unlucky bastard Kaineth had chased down and beaten for several kilometers.
"Weber, who are you talking to?" Li Zihan knowingly asked. He pulled several pearl grenades from Imaginary Space and threw them ahead. When each one exploded, it scattered hundreds of fragments evenly, like a hundred Black guys spraying bullets at random.
Tang Sect concealed weapon—Torrential Pear Blossom Needles (MAX version). It had the advantages of great power, strong penetration, and a wide attack range. Its drawback was that it dealt AoE damage and had no friendly-fire protection.
"Bastard, where are you throwing those?!" Dozens of steel pellets fell from the mercury barrier, followed by Kaineth's furious roar from behind it.
Weber took several more steps back. These days, even standing near allies wasn't safe.
"A man claiming to be Kiritsugu Emiya called. He asked me to pass the phone to Professor Kaineth." After making sure he was safe, Weber answered Li Zihan's question.
Weber did not mention Territory Creation, because he thought a Rider using a Grand Magecraft like Territory Creation sounded a little ridiculous.
Still, just to be safe, Weber used telepathy to ask Rider, "Rider, do you know magecraft?"
"I'm a Rider. What the hell do I know about magecraft?" Rider's answer was exactly what Weber had expected.
"Who is Kiritsugu Emiya?" Li Zihan looked confused. He crooked a finger, and densely packed insects crawled out from beneath the ground. They were monstrous arthropods with vicious mouthparts and razor-sharp wing cases. They filled the sky in a swirling mass that made one's scalp tingle.
Weber had read about this kind of familiar in a book. They were Wing Blade Insects, familiars capable of devouring an entire bull in an instant.
Wing Blade Insects were not particularly advanced familiars, but if there were enough of them to flatten the surface of the earth, that was terrifying! An ordinary mage family could not cultivate this many even in a hundred years!
If this war of conquest had not required combat power, these familiars would have been used on him, wouldn't they? Weber shuddered. Even ants could devour an elephant, let alone monsters like Wing Blade Insects.
Familiars of this level could not do much harm to Servants, but against Masters, they were absolutely lethal weapons.
"Saber's Master. He said he has a way to deal with the Sea Monster." Weber waved the phone in his hand.
Why did Saber's Master know my phone number? Weber was a little confused. Were his precautions really that poor?
"Hand me the phone." Kaineth, who was directing Lancer's attack while controlling Moon Marrow Spirit Fluid to clear away the smaller Sea Monsters, snapped his fingers. An invisible ghost emerged from beside Weber's feet and revealed its form.
Do all of you like hiding familiars underground that much? Weber was startled by the ghost that had suddenly appeared behind him.
But on second thought, there was nothing strange about it. Would it make sense for a first-class lecturer from the Spirit Evocation Department to appear without a few ghost familiars?
The ghost extended its hand, and Weber wisely handed over the phone.
The phone quickly reached Kaineth's hand.
"Saber's Master, what is your method?" Kaineth held the phone in one hand and a gemstone in the other, then threw the gemstone out like a grenade.
Boom— Scorching flames erupted in the unsettled area, bringing back many unpleasant memories for Kiritsugu Emiya, who had once been bombarded by the same attack.
"Tell me your plan. This concerns whether, after this battle ends, I visit the Einzbern Family as a guest or as an enemy Master." Kaineth, already especially irritated by his inability to gain ground after so long, threatened him without a shred of noble grace.
"Saber has an Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasm, but it requires both hands to activate," Kiritsugu Emiya said. "If possible, I hope Lancer can break that Noble Phantasm."
"Can that Noble Phantasm kill Caster in a single blow?" Kaineth demanded of Kiritsugu Emiya.
"An A++ ranked Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasm is enough to completely erase that Sea Monster," Kiritsugu Emiya answered frankly.
"Breaking the Yellow Rose can drive back the Sea Monster. Are you willing to give up prey already in your grasp to break that Noble Phantasm?" Kaineth was quite satisfied with his subordinate, and in return, he should grant Lancer the appropriate authority.
"Before I became a knight, I swore that I would never allow 'evil' to run rampant." Lancer's voice was firm and forceful. "If I can defeat Saber once, I can defeat her a second time!"
