"How is that possible?!"
Rin Tohsaka, filthy and disheveled, struggled to climb up from the ground and stared incredulously at the Black Tower standing amid the black mud.
If it could use an ability like that—why hadn't it used it before?
And an ability like this...
Watching the holes light up once more, Rin Tohsaka's mouth fell open.
It could actually fire continuously?
"Master!"
Archer could no longer worry about anything else—the hole in the Black Tower used to pour out magical energy was aimed directly at them. If they remained here without moving, they would undoubtedly be drowned in magical energy and ultimately reduced to ashes!
He scooped Rin Tohsaka up, tucked her under his arm, and sprinted away.
"Hey—don't move!"
Xiang An panted heavily, his grave gaze fixed on the tower ahead. Even the hands gripping the Great Pi trembled slightly.
One of those black-red beams had been fired directly at Adelson, who was controlling the entire Jewel Magecraft formation. If Xiang An had not arrived in time and blocked the beam with the Great Pi in his hands, Adelson would have been eliminated without question.
If Adelson were eliminated and his soul entered Illya, the Lesser Grail, then that guy... would have another opportunity to exploit!
That absolutely could not be allowed to happen.
"I-I understand!"
"Thanks."
Adelson still looked shaken.
Really, I was just a step away from being eliminated.
I absolutely can't give them another opening like that!
"Hey, Lawrence's boy, do you still have enough magical energy to make a few more of those mirrors in the air?"
As Xiang An put the Great Majesty King Yama Mask over his face, he asked Adelson behind him.
An icy chill instantly spread outward from Xiang An. Even Adelson felt goosebumps rise all over his body.
