Who is Kiritsugu Emiya? Waver thought for a long time before finding a match for the name in his mind. It turned out to be that unlucky guy who was chased for several kilometers by Kaineth.
"Waver, who are you talking to?" Li Zihan asked knowingly. He pulled out a few pearl grenades from the Imaginary Space and threw them forward. Each one, upon exploding, scattered hundreds of fragments evenly, like a hundred black uncles performing random archery.
Tang Sect Hidden Weapon—Pear Blossom Rain Needles (max version) possessed advantages such as high power, strong penetration, and a wide attack range. Its drawbacks were that this weapon dealt AoE damage and lacked friendly fire protection.
"Damn it, where are you throwing that at!" Dozens of steel balls fell from the mercury barrier, and Kaineth's roar could be heard from behind it.
Waver took a few more steps back. These days, even being near an ally wasn't safe.
"A man calling himself Kiritsugu Emiya called. He told me to transfer the call to Teacher Kaineth." After confirming his position was safe, Waver began to answer Li Zihan's question.
Waver didn't mention the Territory Creation because he felt it was a bit ridiculous for Rider to use such a powerful magecraft.
However, just to be safe, Waver used telepathy to ask Rider, "Rider, do you know magecraft?"
"I am Rider, what the hell do I know about magecraft?" Rider's answer was just as Waver had expected.
"Who is Kiritsugu Emiya?" Li Zihan's face showed confusion. He beckoned, and dense swarms of insects crawled out from underground. They were arthropod monsters with ferocious mouthparts and sharp wing casings, flying everywhere and making one's scalp tingle.
Waver had seen descriptions of these familiars in books. They were Wing Blade Insects, familiars capable of stripping a bull bare in an instant.
Wing Blade Insects weren't high-level familiars, but if there were enough to flatten the ground, wouldn't that be terrifying! Ordinary mage families couldn't cultivate so many even in a hundred years!
If it weren't for the need for combat strength in this subjugation war, these familiars would have been used against him. Waver shivered. Ants could devour elephants, let alone monsters like Wing Blade Insects.
Familiars of this level wouldn't pose much of a threat to Servants, but they would be deadly weapons if used against Masters.
"Saber's Master. He said he has a way to deal with the Sea Monster." Waver said, waving the phone in his hand.
Speaking of which, why did Saber's Master know his phone number? Waver was a little confused. Were his security measures that bad?
"Hand over the phone." Kaineth, who was commanding Lancer's attack while manipulating Moon Marrow Spirit Fluid to clear the smaller sea monsters, snapped his fingers. An invisible ghost emerged from Waver's feet and took shape.
Do you guys just love hiding your familiars underground? Waver was startled by the ghost that suddenly appeared behind him.
But on second thought, it made sense. A first-level lecturer from the Spirit Evocation Department wouldn't make an appearance without a few ghost familiars, would he?
The ghost extended its hand, and Waver, being sensible, handed over the phone.
The phone was quickly delivered to Kaineth.
"Saber's Master, what's your plan?" Kaineth held the phone in one hand and a gem in the other, then threw the gem like a grenade.
"Boom—" Blazing flames erupted at the point of impact, reminding Kiritsugu Emiya, who had been bombarded by the same move before, of many unpleasant memories.
"State your plan. This will determine whether I visit the Einzbern Family as a guest or an opposing Master after this battle." Kaineth, particularly agitated by the lack of progress in his assault, threatened without any noble demeanor.
"Saber has an anti-city Noble Phantasm, but it requires both hands to release," Kiritsugu Emiya said. "If possible, I hope Lancer can break that Noble Phantasm."
"Can that Noble Phantasm kill Caster in one blow?" Kaineth questioned Kiritsugu Emiya.
"An A++ ranked anti-city Noble Phantasm is enough to completely obliterate that Sea Monster," Kiritsugu Emiya replied calmly.
"Breaking the Yellow Rose can repel the Sea Monster. Are you willing to give up the prey you've already obtained to break the Noble Phantasm?" Kaineth was quite satisfied with his subordinate. In return, he should grant Lancer the corresponding authority.
"Before I became a knight, I swore that I would never allow 'evil' to run rampant," Lancer's voice was firm and powerful. "If I could defeat Saber once, I can defeat her a second time!"
