Chapter 175 Damned Bajiquan!
After being blocked by Caster, Tohsaka Rin didn’t show a shred of fear.
She had already known the true identity of her opponent through Archer, and that guy wouldn’t do anything without a reason; when he was first summoned, he had asked her a question.
“Do you know the traitorous Witch?”
At that time, Tohsaka Rin didn’t understand the meaning behind Archer’s question, but now, if she still didn’t understand, she would be a fool.
“You think you can conceal your True Body with such a weak disguise? I can smell the poisonous aura from the old era, and I know who you are without even needing to smell it.” Tohsaka Rin said with a scornful and mocking tone.
Knowing Tohsaka Rin was intentionally provoking her, Medea (Caster) was still enraged.
“Hmph, you’re a arrogant little brat, don’t you understand the situation? It’s because I spared your life that you’re still alive now.”
“Oh? Should I thank you then? Medea (Caster)…”
Medea (Caster) was puzzled when her true name was revealed: “Little brat, how did you know that?”
Tohsaka Rin snickered and didn’t respond.
Medea (Caster) fell silent for a moment, her hand grasping the Illusion Sceptre (Hekate’s Sceptre).
“What, are you getting angry?” Tohsaka Rin asked, cautiously approaching her.
However, Medea (Caster)’s actions were beyond her expectations; with a swing of the Sceptre, a circular Array suddenly appeared on the ground, and a figure emerged from the shadows.
“You have a good relationship with this kid, don’t you?”
Emiya Shirou lay unconscious on the ground, at Medea (Caster)’s feet, and she could take his life with just a flick of her finger.
Tohsaka Rin lamented in her heart: Indeed, if she fell into the hands of this Witch, she would unhesitatingly use him as leverage…
“I have the resolve for this, and if necessary, I’ll have to sacrifice Emiya-kun.” Tohsaka Rin said, trying to sound tough.
“Hehe…” Medea (Caster) smiled, and an invisible rope tightened around Emiya Shirou’s neck, lifting him into the air.
Due to asphyxiation, Emiya’s struggling intensified, and under the control of his survival instincts, his fingers continuously grasped at the rope around his neck, reminiscent of a desperate Last Resort, a final gambit to escape the clutches of death.
However, the rope was conjured from Mana, and it was not something that could be undone by mere fingers, a testament to the power of magical bindings, much like the unyielding chains of a Command Seal.
Looking at Emiya’s purplish complexion and rolled-back eyes, Tohsaka Rin’s palms grew sweaty, and her mind began to struggle, her thoughts racing with the desperation of a cornered prey, like a mouse trapped in a snake’s gaze.
“Stop!” Tohsaka Rin couldn’t help but shout out loud, unable to bear the sight of Emiya dying before her eyes, a cry that echoed through the air like the sound of a breaking spell.
Medea (Caster) moved her fingers, and the rope around Emiya’s neck loosened slightly, allowing him to breathe, a temporary reprieve from the crushing grip of death, much like the brief respite granted by a well-timed Reinforcement.
“Not a bad choice, little devil, I’ve begun to appreciate you; have Saber cease the battle,” Medea said, her voice dripping with the honeyed tones of a skilled Enchantress, weaving a web of intrigue and deception.
“You first release Emiya,” Tohsaka Rin retorted, her words laced with the steel of determination, a resolve forged in the crucible of adversity, like the unyielding will of a heroic Spirit.
Tohsaka Rin had no intention of obeying, or rather, she had been waiting for an opportunity, waiting for Medea (Caster) to let her guard down, a patient hunter waiting for the perfect moment to strike, like a assassin lurking in the shadows.
However, the Witch’s vigilance was always heavy, her Fundamental never relaxing, and Tohsaka Rin weighed her options carefully before deciding to launch a surprise attack, a daring gambit to catch her foe off guard, like a swift and deadly Strike.
She suddenly raised her arm and threw out the 3 gems hidden between her fingers, the gems flashing in the light like tiny, glittering jewels, each one imbued with the power of a magical Circuit.
Gems could easily accumulate and hold the user’s intentions, and they could also harbor Mana, while the Tohsaka Household’s gemstone Magecraft was a specialized Inheritance that focused on using gems, a unique and powerful magical tradition.
The gems Tohsaka Rin used this time were ones she had cultivated since childhood, storing her Mana in them whenever she had the chance, resulting in ten [Yellow Jade] gems that had accumulated ten years’ worth of Mana, each one a tiny, potent reservoir of magical energy, like a miniature version of the legendary Jewels of the Gods.
With the Magic Crest on her left arm, she could activate the gems by simply infusing them with Mana, unleashing a destructive power comparable to a bundle of hand grenades, a devastating blast of magical force, like the explosive might of a well-placed Blast of magical energy.
Medea (Caster) was slightly startled, unexpectedly finding Tohsaka Rin to be so bold, but she reacted quickly, immediately swinging her Sceptre (Hekate’s Sceptre) to set up a barrier in front of her, instantly freezing the gems in mid-air, a swift and elegant display of magical prowess, like the swift and deadly dance of a skilled Master.
It wasn’t a defense, nor was it an interruption, but rather a method of neutralizing the gems’ explosive Mana using her own Mana, a clever and subtle tactic, like the gentle yet firm touch of a skilled Healer.
To be able to react in the blink of an eye and simultaneously dispel 3 A-level Magecraft attacks, Medea (Caster) was indeed worthy of her title, a true Master of the mystical arts, like a mighty and powerful Heroic Spirit.
“Little devil, do you plan to betray your companion, not even sparing their life?” Medea (Caster) asked, her voice dripping with the venom of a snake, a deadly and subtle poison that threatened to destroy Tohsaka Rin’s very soul.
Medea (Caster) let out a cold snort, unfolding her deep purple cloak, and rose into the air from the ground, with multiple Magecraft arrays unfolding behind her, a flash of light, and she began to barrage Tohsaka Rin with a hail of magical shots.
Tohsaka Rin’s legs flashed with a burst of light as she strengthened her leg strength with mana, and with a sudden burst of speed, she kicked off the ground, leaping into the air, dodging the barrage of magical blasts.
“On the contrary, I’m doing this to save Emiya-kun!”
With a flip in mid-air, Tohsaka Rin landed lightly beside the huge crater left by the explosion, and once again threw out a red gemstone.
While still in mid-air, the gemstone burst open, instantly spreading to the size of a basketball court, transforming into a raging sea of flames that charged towards Medea (Caster).
A cold glint flashed in Medea (Caster)’s eyes as she manipulated her mana-infused chains to pull Emiya Shirou’s body in front of her, using him as a shield against the wave of flames.
“Is this your way of saving someone? You’d rather kill your companion with your own hands, girl…”
The flames engulfed everything, with temperatures reaching hundreds of degrees, scorching Emiya Shirou’s hair even before they reached his body, and just as the flames were about to engulf him, a gap suddenly opened in the wall of fire, and a gemstone shot out.
A sky-blue gemstone pierced through the sea of flames, exploding above Emiya Shirou’s head, shattering into countless fragments that rained down around him, instantly forming a massive crystal that encased him within.
By using the sea of flames to block Medea (Caster)’s line of sight, and luring her into using Emiya Shirou as a shield, while also sealing him away with the gemstone, Tohsaka Rin protected him while also rescuing him from Medea (Caster)’s clutches, and her plan wasn’t over yet – she followed close behind the gemstone, bouncing into the air like an arrow, passing through the gap in the wall of flames that hadn’t closed yet, using the amber that sealed Emiya Shirou as a stepping stone to jump again!
The majestic, blazing flames that filled the sky followed Tohsaka Rin, making her appear as if she were a spirit commanding the flames, charging towards the heavens with a sea of fire!
Everything happened in the span of just 2 seconds, catching Medea (Caster) off guard, allowing Tohsaka Rin to close in on her.
As soon as the Flame approached Medea (Caster) within 3 meters, it immediately turned into nothingness.
……Indeed, Medea (Caster) didn’t choose to dodge, but instead chose to defend.
A fleeting thought of luck crossed her mind, but Tohsaka Rin didn’t hesitate at all, the blue mana circuits on her limbs flashed, and her reinforced fist heavily struck Medea (Caster).
The deep purple cloak was a Magecraft equipment, but it only defended against magical attacks, having no effect on physical attacks.
Bam!
With just one punch, Medea (Caster) was bent backward, spewing out blood.
“You actually…” Medea (Caster) was full of disbelief, unable to believe that a Magus would engage in close combat like a thug.
“Less nonsense, let’s have a Bajiquan match!”
Tohsaka Rin adjusted her posture in mid-air, suddenly grabbing Medea (Caster)’s wrists and pulling them back, while kicking upward, hitting Medea (Caster) under the chin.
The two figures suddenly separated, Tohsaka Rin spun around in mid-air and landed on the ground, while Medea (Caster) fell into the woods like a kite with a broken string.
It wasn’t until then that the flames from the initial gemstone attack finally disappeared into the air, the scorching temperature still lingering, making the surroundings dry and sweltering.
Tohsaka Rin was sweating profusely, but her heart felt relieved, thinking to herself that if Medea (Caster) had chosen to fly away, dodge, or counterattack with magic, not only would the plan to save Emiya Shirou have failed, but she might have died as well.
It could be said that she had risked her life to carry out this seemingly impossible plan, and its success was almost a coincidence, leaving even herself in awe.
After wiping the sweat from her forehead, Tohsaka Rin first released the seal on Emiya’s crystal, and before he woke up, she rushed towards the place where Medea (Caster) had fallen, finding the unconscious Medea (Caster) on the grass, and only then did she truly feel at ease.
Just now, that Strike could have killed Medea (Caster), but she didn’t.
Because the key point of this Holy Grail War wasn’t Medea (Caster), but rather the Master named Kuzuki.
Earlier, Medea (Caster) had used Emiya Shirou as a hostage to threaten her, and now it was her turn to use Medea (Caster) to threaten Kuzuki.
But what if Emiya Shirou, who had tried to use Medea (Caster) as a hostage to threaten Tohsaka Rin, ended up being defeated by Tohsaka Rin instead?
Then what would happen to Tohsaka Rin, who was planning to use Medea (Caster) to threaten Kuzuki?
Thinking about it, it seemed rather inauspicious…
Tohsaka Rin shook her Twin-tails, shaking off the ill-omened thoughts from her mind.
[As long as I don’t make the same mistake as Medea (Caster), I’ll be fine. The moment Kuzuki makes a move, I’ll immediately take action!]
