Eighth Crown

"How come there are so many weirdos rushing here!?"

On the roof, Kotaro, who noticed the thousands of strange movements, suddenly turned pale, and his whole body became anxious.

"Not good! This amount of weirdness can't be stopped no matter what!"

Kotaro gritted his teeth fiercely, and after hesitating for a while, he made a quick decision, jumped off the roof, and informed Musashi of the situation without concealment.

"Hurry up and escape with the lord!"

After Kotaro said this, he immediately turned around and planned to walk in the direction of the Master.

"Wait a minute, the hundreds of people left here..."

Musashi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came back to his senses, and said with a complicated expression.

"I am the servant of the lord, no matter what happens, the first priority will be to ensure the safety of the master's life."

Little Taro paused for a moment, and then said in a low tone: "We can only save the lord from here now, we can't care about other people... Moreover, maybe those weird targets are us, we will take the lord from here. , but makes it safer here.”

This is impossible.

Weird is not a beast. The instinct of a beast is to survive. Killing is just a necessary behavior for survival, but the instinct of the weird is to kill. As long as any life is imprinted in the eyes, the weird will destroy these life at the first time.

Even if the purpose of the monster army is really them, they will retreat from here, but it is impossible for those monsters to run after them without killing them. Kill them all, and then come after them again.

In other words, these hundreds of people are actually dead, and Kotaro's statement is just a little fluke to give his actions a reason.

Neither of the two of them could have dealt with such a large group of strange people, and they could only choose to retreat with their Master and acquaintances, and there was no other choice.

There is no way out, and Musashi knows this. In this situation, a choice must be made.

"I see, let's go."

Musashi nodded silently, then walked towards the gathering place without saying a word.

…………

The gathering place of the Southern District is in a wide manor.

By the time Musashi and Kotaro came back here, Fujimaru Tachika had already woken up from the coma. Although her face still did not recover, she seemed a little sickly pale, but she regained a little mobility for the time being.

"Musashi-san, Kotaro... Kiyohime was taken away."

As soon as the two returned here, Fujimaru Rika took the initiative to greet them, and told them another unfortunate news with a gloomy expression.

After the ninja disappeared from the shadows, she did not leave immediately, but hid in the dark. When Kotaro and Musashi left to clear up the weirdness, she quickly jumped out of the shadows. He came out and kidnapped Qing Ji.

Originally, she seemed to be planning to attack and kill Fujimaru Rika, but she responded quickly, and immediately summoned a Shadow Servant from Chaldea with a Command Spell, so she had no choice but to retreat.

However, the Shadow Servant's combat power is limited, and the opponent is even more elusive when he is a ninja. After all, she still failed to save Kiyohime and let her be kidnapped by the opponent.

"We've got to hurry up and save her—"

The orange-haired girl was panting softly, her chest heaving with difficulty, her face was pale, she had lost a lot of blood, and when she woke up, she had to use magic to support Shadow Servants to fight, which was not an ordinary burden on her. big.

But with the strength of Musashi and Kotaro, she couldn't continue to wait here, she had to save Kiyohime before she had an accident.

"Sorry, my lord, now is not the time to say that."

But Xiaotaro interrupted her words aloud, and said with a guilty expression: "A lot of weirdness is coming here, we are seriously short of manpower now, it is very difficult to protect ourselves, and there is no spare energy to save people. "

"Insufficient manpower... Where is Yin Shun?"

As if remembering something, Fujimaru Tachika had an ominous premonition in her heart and asked anxiously.

"Your Excellency Yinshun... When I was in the Tianshou Pavilion, in order to cover our retreat, I was buried in the slaughtering legacy and became a heroic swordsman. I was defeated not long ago." Musashi closed his eyes slightly, using I couldn't hear the angry tone.

"My lord, although you shouldn't say such things at this time, I still hope you can act rationally."

Kotaro opened his mouth and said, "Our top priority now is to rush to Sagami country or the direction of Soan, join forces with Lucia, Miss Esdes, and Mr. Chikomura Masa, and gather strength, so that we can rescue Miss Kiyohime. , resolve this subspecies singularity."

"Don't worry, Kotaro, I won't be impulsive."

Fujimaru Tachika took a deep breath and suppressed the anger that was surging in his heart.

This level is far from enough to make her despair. The despair she has experienced in the past is a hundred times deeper than this, but she still crossed over, and this time will be no exception. As long as she doesn't give up, she will always win. chance.

"Let's go meet Luxia and Mr. Muramasa first--" She let go of her clenched fists, and then followed Xiaotaro's suggestion and planned to retreat in the direction outside the city.

"call--"

But just when the few people were about to retreat, a wind whistled down from the sky by the wings.

"It's not necessary if you meet."

Immediately afterwards, the voice of the indifferent young man, which was very familiar to several people, was introduced into the ears of several people.

The pitch-black flying dragon quickly descended from the sky and landed in front of several people amid gusts of wind. Then, several figures that were very familiar to them stepped down from the flying dragon's back.

"I have a general understanding of the situation."

Liu Xia's figure was imprinted into the eyes of the three people on the stage, which made them all look surprised, especially Musashi and Fujimaru Rika. The two of them almost immediately showed a look that they could rely on as if they had found the backbone. Come.

So far, Liu Xia has shown exceptionally strong strength and exceptional wisdom that he can rely on. Almost every problem encountered will be solved by him, and they have never been disappointed.

"All in all, let's talk about it when we have something to say. Let's clean up those trash fish first."

Liu Xia ignored the various complex expressions of the three, but turned around and looked at the army of nearly 10,000 monsters that was advancing rapidly towards the horizon in the distance.

He raised his footsteps and walked out forward under the watchful eyes of everyone behind him.

"Class switch - [Rider]."

As he marched forward, he gave instructions to the [Anonymous Spirit Base] in his heart, and switched his rank, causing the spirit base template in the lower left corner of the viewing angle to change abruptly.

[Current class template]: Rider

Without any other extra steps, just an order was given, and Liu Xia's class changed from Assassin to Rider.

At the same time, he sensed the Noble Phantasm that became alive in his spiritual base without any obstruction.

"Before the glory of the Millennium Empire, bow your head and be your servant—"

"—Supreme Emperor God Protector of the Nation."
