Chapter 39
The Magician of Time: I'm going to launch an effect attack on you all!
Chapter 39. The Magician of Time: I am about to launch an effect attack on you all!
Jonouchi glanced at his rivals around him and made up his mind.
Although Sakura Kyoko is influenced by the Soul Gem and can recover countless times as long as it is not destroyed, she will still inevitably get injured.
Therefore, until it recovers, Jonouchi will have to face these enemies alone.
"To be honest, I don't approve of your behavior."
"So don't blame me if anything happens!"
He made that declaration with such confidence under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Beside him, the familiar, with its small cane resembling a clock, swayed.
The Magician of Time
The fact that Jonouchi used the Duel Monster, which possesses magical powers, indicates that he intends to destroy the opponent.
"Um?"
Seeing the small familiar summoned within the castle, Lelouch frowned, feeling somewhat uneasy.
But the opportunity to eliminate Caster is also just around the corner, and it's impossible to let it go.
After all, that mysterious and unpredictable magic was really troublesome, and Lelouch and Kenshin shared the same idea: to eliminate the opponent.
Surrounded by three Servants—Rider, Saber, and Assassin—it's impossible for Caster to be defeated in a three-on-one fight, right?
"Take this!"
Amidst the shouts within the city, the tiny familiar began to turn the clock on its body.
Kenshin originally intended to charge straight ahead, but the "tremor" emanating from his entire body stopped him in his tracks.
He had a premonition that something bad was about to happen.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!"
The ever-spinning clock finally stopped at the twelve o'clock position.
"Good! Success!"
"Start it!"
It was done on the first try, and Jonouchi seemed very happy; his extraordinary luck was still working its magic.
This was a turning point in the crisis.
"!"
"!!"
The first to sense the threat were Kenshin and Saber, who possessed "intuition." Influenced by the "scabbard," the two subconsciously moved closer to each other.
"Waveber! Use a Command Spell!!"
Lelouch, belatedly realizing what was happening, suddenly turned around and cried out in surprise.
This was the first time he had ever lost his composure like this.
Waver was stunned by Lelouch's appearance; he had never seen Rider so flustered before.
"quick!"
"But how am I supposed to use it?!"
But under the other party's urging, he couldn't stand being in a daze anymore and quickly asked.
How do I give instructions to use Command Spells?
He was completely bewildered and had no idea what had happened.
"In the name of Lelouch vi Britannia, I command! Use a Command Spell!!"
There was no time to explain anything; Lelouch was truly anxious this time, and even used Geass on Waver.
The saying "Even the wisest person can make a mistake" may well describe this situation.
"Rider commanded by the Command Spell!"
…………
"?"
"!"
Berserker and Gilgamesh, who had just bumped into each other not far away, suddenly felt a chill and both instinctively used their life-saving skills and Noble Phantasms.
Subsequently
"Pfft! Cough cough!!"
"Mixed-breed cultivator!!"
Both of them suddenly coughed up blood, and then something unusual happened.
Berserker, clad in heavy armor, crouched on the ground, severely injured despite having just sensed the attack from the familiar.
Just look at Gilgamesh, who was in a similar sorry state. This king also had to use his Noble Phantasm from his treasury at the crucial moment to barely block the "damage".
Even so, he was still in a state of "bleeding from all seven orifices".
"Just a little bit!"
This is no longer something that can be explained by losing his composure; Gilgamesh is now truly enraged.
Being interrupted in battle is one thing, but someone is even resorting to underhanded tactics behind the scenes?
If he hadn't reacted quickly and pulled out his Noble Phantasm to block the injury, he would have died right now.
If that were the case, he would be furious, although he's almost there now.
"That bastard Caster"
.........
"This is."
Saber was still somewhat dazed as she lay on the ground.
For some reason, she had a feeling of impending death that made her instinctively move closer to Assassin.
That was a reminder from "intuition".
It wasn't until she came to her senses that she realized her current state.
The pain spread throughout my body, as if I had suffered a great injury.
"Hmm"
Even Kenshin collapsed to the ground and could hardly stand up again.
(This is too dangerous. That familiar has such power!)
Kenshin felt a sense of dread, as this was the first time he had ever experienced such an unreasonable attack.
If it weren't for the so-called "scabbard" he had, he might have died on the spot.
"Huh? Rider!!"
When he came to his senses, Weber realized what had just happened.
He was manipulated by Rider's "mind control" magic, and Waver only then realized that he had used up all three Command Seals.
"Cough cough."
Hearing his faint breathing and coughing, he immediately looked over.
The white imperial robes, already covered in dust, were now stained with crimson blood. The person wearing them was panting heavily, lying on the ground as if he might die at any moment.
"What on earth happened?"
Weber was somewhat taken aback, not understanding why this was happening at all.
"Serves you right! This is your retribution!!"
Although it seemed that these people had managed to evade them, Jōnei loudly mocked them.
The Magician of Time
Although its physical form does not possess formidable combat power, its effects are extremely powerful.
That is to take a gamble. If Jonouchi guesses correctly, he will launch a lethal attack on the surrounding enemies.
It's not the concept of "instant death," but rather the concept that triggering it once will cause the victim to suffer "fatal" damage.
In other words, if successful, the "Magician of Time" is a powerful monster capable of killing any opponent without any means of survival.
Even powerful Heroic Spirits like Berserker and Gilgamesh can be killed if they are caught off guard.
The fact that both of them pulled out their "life-saving" skills and treasures just now shows that they realized that "something" was launching an attack on them that could kill them.
Although it appears that the people present used various methods to block the "fatal injury," it also makes it difficult for them to return to their previous unharmed state.
This scene was captured by Kiritsugu, who was far away, and it gave him a fright.
Caster almost killed all the other Servants with that kind of familiar?
I initially thought Berserker and Archer were unmatched as top-tier players, but now it seems...
Caster is the most dangerous one!
Such powerful magic and familiars were simply unheard of.
Fortunately, he ran far away just now, otherwise he might have been affected.
Cold sweat trickled down his cheeks; he hadn't felt this kind of "heart-pounding fear" in a long time.
"A plan to encircle and suppress Lancer."
"It seems to have ended in failure."
Having made that judgment, Kiritsugu was about to call Saber back.
Even the King of Knights couldn't have survived such a severe injury.
"Um?"
Suddenly he realized something
Saber and Assassin's injuries seem... not right?
"This is?!"
PS:
The principle behind "The Magician of Time" is to flip a coin; if you win, you will destroy all of the opponent's monsters.
Therefore, based on this setting, it becomes an attack that can kill all enemy Servants.
Well, to put it simply, if the health is 100%, then the damage dealt by the Time Magician will be based on that 100% health.
It can be blocked, reduced, or withstood beyond its maximum tolerance (health bar).
Just like Kenshin, without the scabbard "Avalon," he would have died instantly and been eliminated. Lelouch, on the other hand, simply survived by using three Command Seals.
