Pendragon's Infinity Gauntlet

Page 81

"Let's draw our swords!"

Archer projected a pair of swords, one for each husband and one for his, and stared coldly at the man in front of him.

His purpose in coming here was not for this. The profession of World Guardian is very prestigious. Although there is fighting and killing involved, the purpose is noble.

Without saying a word, Jinpika immediately took action.

A large number of golden ripples emerged, and countless weapons that served as the original Noble Phantasms appeared, filling this knock-off world.

Sword against sword, sword against knife, sword against spear, sword against hook...

A dazzling light accompanied by a huge explosion, and streaks of light formed from Noble Phantasms collided and shone in the dark red sky of the Reality Barrier, weaving together an incomparably magnificent backdrop.

Both Miss Rin and Lily squinted, feeling like they were going blind from the continuous flashes of magic, and quickly shielded their eyes with their hands.

The fragments of the Noble Phantasm generated by the explosion formed the most deadly stray bullets, capable of piercing even steel plates several centimeters thick, let alone the fragile human body, possessing a terrifying power that could easily sever them.

Pendragon's telekinesis has deflected several fragments that came flying through the air, all of which were Gilgamesh's destroyed Noble Phantasms.

Archer's imitation skills seem to be quite advanced; the projected sword exploded quite thoroughly.

In that case, he wouldn't be able to take care of his Master behind him.

Gilgamesh is not the kind of opponent you can handle even if you're distracted. In fact, Archer had already given his all just to achieve that spectacular collision.

Because this year's Master is incompetent, Archer is currently using the mana he usually saves up, and this extravagance won't last long.

Although he hasn't started using cheats yet, well... does this lazy bum even deserve to let the Guardians use cheats?

Okay, without cheating, it's really hard to keep up.

"Ugh! I can't see anything at all!"

The wind whipped up Rin's hair, preventing it from reaching her shoulders. Not only was the bright light obstructing her vision, but the dust kicked up by the explosion also clouded her eyes.

Lily didn't say anything, but she also had a look of bewilderment and awe. It's not a good look to see gods fighting.

"Om."

The dark red sword light almost blended into the sky above the ironworks, once again deflecting stray bullets from the battlefield and protecting the two people behind it.

I'm unhappy that I can't just observe the whole thing. What happened to Red A countering Gilgamesh? In the end, I still have to work hard myself!

Unlike the Master duo who seemed completely clueless throughout, Pendragon was able to discern who had the upper hand and who was at a disadvantage in the situation.

Archer's magic power is almost depleted, barely enough to maintain the barrier, giving him a roughly 0-10 chance of winning against Golden Pikachu.

"Get ready, it's your turn."

Pendragon released his grip on the sword, but the holy sword he had bought online did not fall to the ground in accordance with the law of universal gravitation. Instead, it hovered in mid-air like a sword-controlling technique, precisely deflecting several flying fragments.

"What?"

Miss Rin's bewildered expression was somewhat adorable. The watermelon here is super sweet, so why am I suddenly being told I have to go on stage?

"Aren't they having a great time sparring over here? Should we interfere? Won't that hurt Archer's pride?"

Rin thought about many things in an instant and then voiced her concerns.

Chapter 137 Want It All? Naive!

Chapter 137

"What does a cook need self-respect for?"

Pendragon believed that although he said that, he had still given him a lot of face.

You can't just say this guy is about to get crushed, and then you go up and help him take some damage so that this guy who's doing housework and making fake stuff won't get killed by the real Noble Phantasm.

"Those who cook also have human rights. I'm hungry, so hurry up."

Lily narrowed her green eyes, defending her servant, and even pointed the finger at him to wash the dishes.

"Lily is right."

Pendragon nodded, opening his palm to reveal five stones.

Which one do you choose?

"One, two, three...aren't there six gems?"

Rin glanced at the number of stones, covered her ears with her hands, and shouted a question amidst the huge explosion.

"These five are all capable of enabling you to unleash your fighting power."

Even Pendragon himself did not have the ability to extract the Soul Stone and convert it into powerful combat abilities; the interior of this stone was more like a microcosm.

Ok.

Miss Rin stopped worrying about the gem, but what followed was a difficult question for her to answer.

Time, mind, space, reality, and power—she was curious about all four gems except for the Power Gem, and wanted to try them all.

"Why do children make choices? I want them all!"

Fortunately, Miss Rin stopped agonizing over it, closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and, in a display of domineering power, grabbed Pendragon's hand and held all five gems in her grasp.

"...Ouch, that hurts!"

Pendragon flicked her smooth forehead without any politeness and rolled his eyes at Rin.

"Are you kidding me? What kind of magic do you have that makes you want them all?"

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it."

A red mark on her forehead helped her face reality. After observing "Saber's" ahoge (cowlick), she realized that this was indeed not a perfunctory excuse.

"Then I'll choose power!"

Having no other choice, Lady Rin was able to quickly make up her mind and intuitively choose the gem that best suited her.

Although she hadn't used the remaining three gems, she had a feeling that only the purple gem was the most comfortable to use, and that it could unleash the greatest power when combined with her fist techniques.

Because the other gems all sounded like the type that requires standing to cast spells, which wasn't the type she wanted.

One of the gems in Pendragon's palm emitted a shimmering purple light, pure and translucent, immediately distinguishing it from the other stones.

"strength!"

Rin's blue-green eyes lit up instantly, and she swiftly picked the gem out of Pendragon's soft palm with two fingers.

It feels much easier...

When Pendragon's Hand of the King was changing the rules, it felt a bit easier than the last time.

It wasn't that his magic had improved, but rather that Archer's Reality Marble had shared some of the pressure from the real world, which was different from that of a god-level magician like Caster.

On the other side, Red A, who was exchanging fire with Gilgamesh, suddenly felt like he wanted to die. Countless cracks appeared in the Realm of the Mindscape, which was invisible to others!

The giant gears in the dark red sky stopped turning, and the ground beneath their feet cracked open with many tiny fissures. However, the clash of the Noble Phantasms was so spectacular that no one noticed these details.

Only he, the master of the barrier, could feel the immense pressure from the outside world. If he weren't the guardian, favored by the world, that pressure would have caused the barrier to collapse in an instant!

"Why is this gem different from the last one..."

After obtaining the gem she desired, Lady Rin did not rush to engage in close combat with the Heroic Spirit with great enthusiasm. Instead, a constipated expression appeared on her cute face.

Pendragon almost broke into laughter because of this, because the expression was so difficult and... funny.

"Because the power of the two releases is different, this gem has unlocked more poses within the Realm of Boundaries than before."

Pendragon knew that the rules she had influenced were far from enough to fully restore the power of the gems; she should be able to withstand it... right?

Holding the Time Stone, Pendragon wasn't too panicked. Looking at Rin's clenched teeth, he felt that the problem wasn't too serious.

Deep purple light patterns started from Rin's hand holding the gem and spread up her arm, looking like many purple cracks suddenly appearing on a piece of exquisite white porcelain!

The cracks emitted a purple glow, making Rin's arms look less like flesh and blood, and the glow quickly spread to her face, turning her fair skin a grayish-black, as if she might turn to ashes at any moment.

"Tohsaka, are you alright?!"

Lily's pure green eyes were filled with concern and worry as her gaze shifted between Rin Tohsaka and Pendragon, completely ignoring Archer's battle with another Servant.

Anxious and at a loss, I feel guilty for my inability to do anything.

"It's okay... I can handle it."

Rin gritted her teeth, feeling that with her strong will, the power within the gem was being slowly tamed by her.

"But you look terrible."

Pendragon's sarcastic remark almost made Rin's face crack open, giving her the urge to vomit blood.

Even without her saying anything, Rin Tohsaka knew how ferocious her expression must be right now. The elegant family traditions of the Tohsaka family had been completely destroyed.

She is still unaware that her face has begun to turn purple, and it's the kind of face that's been roasted in a charcoal fire until the skin is charred and cracked.

“Ahhhhhhhh!”

Miss Rin felt she had reached a critical moment, so she recklessly belted out a high note, which eventually cracked.

The powerful female voice almost drowned out the explosion in the sky. Rin Tohsaka's expression had calmed down, but the purple light patterns that started from the gemstone had not disappeared. Her blue-green eyes had also turned into a clear purple under the erosion of the power, making her look domineering and beautiful.

However, her face was now so dark that it didn't look like that of an African, but rather like that of a coal miner in Africa, the kind that hadn't been washed in ten years, and it was covered with irregular purple cracks.

Pendragon almost burst into tears when he saw it.

"Tohsaka... are you alright?"

Lily's gaze towards her changed. Would Tohsaka always be like this? How to put it... it's a bit difficult to say!

"It's okay, I'm fine now."

Her once pleasant voice now sounded somewhat hoarse, and her charm had truly diminished in every aspect.

P.S.: Sorry for the late update~

Chapter 138 Moths to a Flame

Chapter 138

"Um, what's wrong with you guys?"

Noticing the unusual expressions on Pendragon and Lily's faces, Lady Rin seemed to suddenly realize something.

"Don't look in the mirror."

"what?"

"Never look in the mirror."

Pendragon spoke to Rin with a serious and solemn tone, his expression blank. Lily nodded repeatedly, her golden ahoge swaying in agreement.

"why?"

Power is surging continuously from the gem, and Miss Rin is feeling quite inflated.

"You'll cry because you're so ugly."

Pendragon was quite blunt, leaving Rin completely bewildered.

Even if I'm not a stunning beauty, I'm certainly not ugly, right? Do you think I put all those different love letters in my shoe cabinet every day by myself?

"baffling."

With her purple eyes rolling her eyes at Pendragon, Miss Rin touched her cheek. It was still smooth and delicate, without any problems. Moreover, she felt better than ever before, so she didn't care about these details.

"...It's a bit disgusting."

Rolling your eyes really does look cuter when done by a pretty girl!

Rin, oblivious to Pendragon's sarcastic remark, accidentally shattered the Reality Marble with her low-heeled shoes, causing Archer to spit out a mouthful of blood. Gilgamesh seized the opportunity to unleash a devastating Noble Phantasm attack.

Purple cracks spread along Rin's steps across the ground strewn with swords, causing Archer's Reality Marble to tremble noticeably.

Now, even Lily, who has the lowest magic power, knows that Archer is just a shell now and won't last much longer.

“Saber saw it all along…”

Holding the Power Gem, Rin fearlessly traversed the battlefield where Noble Phantasms clashed. Whether it was stray bullets formed from fragments or complete Noble Phantasms thrown out of the Gate of Babylon by Gilgamesh, they were all shattered by a thin layer of purple light once they got close enough to her body!

The power within the gemstone seemed to accumulate as Rin ran, pushing her momentum higher and higher, like a giant dragon tearing off the cute sheepskin covering its body, its size rapidly expanding, its roar shaking the sky, reigning supreme over the world!

Archer was covered by countless Noble Phantasms and seemed to have completely lost the ability to resist. The Noble Phantasms with golden light rained down like a dense storm, instantly obscuring the red figure among them and clearly stirring up a mushroom cloud of dust.
