The Endless Shuttle

But... this magician doesn't seem to be very skilled in melee combat...

Thinking of this, Kotomine Kirei took a slight step forward, taking the initiative to shorten the distance with Luo Pei

This is a footwork that quietly slides on the ground to approach the enemy. It is called "moving step", and it is also one of the dangerous secret skills of Bajiquan.

Turning his fist into a palm, he gently 'supported' Luo Pei's wrist, pulling his attack to another direction, making his center of gravity unbalanced for a moment, while the other hand slammed towards Luo Pei's Heart smashed.

——It’s ‘unloading force’

Many people have misunderstood this technique, thinking that "unloading force" is a move that only Tai Chi masters can do, but it is not.

In Chinese martial arts, many schools pay attention to "four-two strokes of a thousand catties", even Bajiquan, which is famous for its fierceness, is no exception.

However, this perfect attack was restrained.

The pitch-black chain wrapped around the attacking arm like a poisonous snake, blocking Kotomine Kirei's punch.

At the same time, Crazy Hell was not idle, and a kick hit Kotomine Kirei's blocked arm. The huge force instantly shattered the bones of the arm, making it impossible to swing it again.

On the other hand, Luo Pei supported himself on the ground with one hand, and jumped back to relieve his unbalanced state of center of gravity.

"Chinese martial arts are really extensive and profound, Father."

Rope gasped slightly. "If my wild way doesn't weaken your strength and feeds back on myself, I'm afraid I will lose the moment I get close to you, right?"

It's not that Luo Pei doesn't want to use summoning magic, it's just that the current magic power is too embarrassing, and summoning higher-level individuals consumes too much, so it can only be used once, and it must be reserved for critical moments.

"..."

Kotomine Kirei didn't answer Lopei's words, but took two small steps backwards, widening the distance from the opponent.

He looked at his right arm—although there was still a possibility of healing, the bones were shattered and the muscles were in a mess, so it could no longer be used for the time being.

"...Master of Lancer, why did you attack Tohsaka's house?"

"Are you joking?"

After waiting for such a sentence for a long time, it seemed to be making Luo Pei laugh.

"Archer's Master is Tohsaka Tokiomi. As a magus who aims at the Holy Grail, do you need a reason to attack him?"

"Is the position different..."

Kotomine Kirei's eyes were blank, and his expression remained unchanged. "Speaking of which, Archer also said that you are a priest of an evil god, so it is considered heresy."

"...Do you want to report to the Holy Church?"

The corners of Luo Pei's mouth curled up, showing a ferocious smile again.

"Think about how you can get out of here alive. Don't think that I will show mercy to the priest."

The palm covered with ice crystals suddenly pierced into the ground, and inside the stone that Kotomine Kirei could not see, the ice and snow melted back into water.

- Acidic water.

"Sac of Dissolving!"

On the ground, on the ceiling, and on the walls, light yellow ye slowly oozes out, giving off an unpleasant sour smell.

Bark!

The weird liquid dripped in front of Kotomine Kirei, and instantly eroded a small hole in the ground, which was still emitting blue smoke.

Just seeing it was enough to know how deadly these things were, Kotomine Kirei carefully avoided the puddle on the floor.

"That way, you won't be able to escape."

Rope closed one eye and licked the acid dripping around his mouth with his tongue.

These deadly waters had absolutely no effect on him who received the protection of the Seagod, and instead had the same effect as a stimulant.

The escape route has been blocked, and the only thing left is to fight to the death.

Kotomine Kirei didn't want to sit still, turned from stillness, instantly took out the black key from his left hand and pressed it on it, wanting to re-enter close combat and gain a certain advantage.

— but Rope won't give him the chance.

Using the crazy hell to prop himself up and jump back, ice crystals reappeared on Luo Pei's hands. This time the shape was no longer a glove, but a beast claw, with extremely sharp fingertips.

He wiped the wall casually and covered his 'claws' with acid.

Then Rope turned the acid into his own bullets and threw it out with enormous force.

Kotomine Kirei didn't choose to dodge, he stopped, made black keys continuously, and quickly slapped away the extremely corrosive liquid with the blade of his sword.

By the time they were all knocked down, the entire room was filled with white mist, completely obscuring sight.

He concentrated on sensing the sounds around him, stretched his nerves to the limit, and guarded against the attack coming from nowhere.

At this time, right in front of the fog, Luo Pei's voice came——

"Eat him, Hounds of Tindalos!"

Chapter 74: The Hound of Tindalos

Strange smoke erupted from the corners, and then their heads emerged from the smoke before their bodies fully formed.

Upper race - Hounds of Tindalos (Hounds of Tindalos).

Although it has this name, this creature has no similarity to dogs in appearance, and even in Luo Pei's view, it has more bats.

"Well……"

Kotomine Kirei felt a pain in his back, and when he turned his head away, he realized that a disgusting creature was sucking his own blood with an extremely long hollow straw.

Without the slightest hesitation, he picked up the black key with his intact left hand and chopped it down, cutting the creature that Rope summoned into three or four broken bodies.

very strange.

Obviously the other party deliberately made a move to block the line of sight, why is the summoned familiar so weak? Kotomine Kirei thought in bewilderment.

In his opinion, compared to this monster, maybe the big spider outside the door that was destroying the barrier was even better.

"Is it weird?"

Rope's voice came from the thick acid fog, which contained malice like cat and mouse.

"Let me tell you, why are the Tindalos hounds called the superior race even though they are so weak in frontal combat?"
