Chapter 208: Medusa and Salter Fight, Elegant, Truly Elegant!
🕑 Added 2025-09-03 03:00:08 +0000 UTC【 “If I go all out, I can probably hold her off for two minutes.” Rider walked over to Shirou Emiya's side after Rin Tohsaka ran inside, looking at the Saber Alter blocking their way. 】
【 “I will create the opening.” Rider placed her hand behind her head, preparing to remove her blindfold. “You just wait and see, and be sure to seize the opportunity.” 】
【 Upon hearing this, Shirou Emiya reached out and covered his left arm, turning his gaze towards the Saber Alter. “Saber! I will eliminate you here. I need to save Sakura, and you are in the way.” 】
【 A slight smile appeared on the Saber Alter's face when she heard this. Black and red magical energy began to erupt from her body. At the same time, Rider also threw down her blindfold seal, revealing her purple eyes that emitted an ominous aura, and summoned her chain-blades! 】

“Shirou Emiya's tone here is a bit like Emiya Archer's.”
“Uh... Rider's pupils feel strangely familiar. I feel like I've seen them somewhere before?! But I just can't remember.”
The viewers from other worlds froze for a moment as they looked at the purple eyes revealed by Rider breaking her seal, then tried their best to search their memories. This strange feeling of familiarity couldn't be faked.
“Wait... isn't that Gorgon?! One of the Three Goddess Alliance in the Absolute Demonic Front Babylonia!”
Wow, her body is so petite, and without a snake tail, no one would have linked her to Gorgon. If she hadn’t taken off her blindfold to expose her cursed eyes, they truly wouldn’t have recognized her.
“Going all out to hold her off for two minutes... isn't that a bit too modest?! If it were Saber Alter holding you off for two minutes, I'd believe it more.”
If you turned into a Gorgon, what challenges would there even be left to face? Your full-power Noble Phantasm can even shatter the great horn of the primordial goddess Tiamat. Even if Saber Alter is strong, she probably couldn't withstand that.

“Oh dear, no wonder she looks so familiar. It's just that she doesn't have divinity on her, so I didn't associate her with Gorgon. So it really is the same person.”
Merlin put his hand above his eyes as if looking into the distance, seemingly observing carefully.
But that's right, if Gorgon were to descend, she would at least be a Grand Servant. If summoned as a Heroic Spirit, a normal Master probably couldn't provide enough magical energy.
However, if it's just this level, the current Lia is really no match for Rider.

【 “Swish—” Rider's feet moved slightly, and her figure instantly disappeared. Seeing this, Saber Alter directly released her magical energy, and a horizontal sweep of black and red light cannons shot forward. 】
【 Rider moved around Saber Alter with extreme speed, while Saber Alter stayed in place with her Holy Sword in hand, waiting for an opportunity. The Holy Sword was bursting with red and black magical energy. 】
【 “BANG—!” Saber Alter noticed Rider appearing behind her and decisively brought down her Holy Sword. Black and red light cannons occasionally filled the cave. 】
【 After Rider dodged with her speed, she instantly appeared beside Saber Alter in a strange posture, flipped her chain-blades and slashed down, but was blocked by Saber Alter's gauntlet! 】
【 Then, facing Saber Alter's sword swing, Rider continued to use gymnastics-like movements, constantly flipping in the air while moving away from Saber Alter. 】
【 “Buzz—!!” The moment Saber Alter noticed Rider's purple eyes, she felt the blood in her body turning to stone, and her sword-swinging hand experienced a strange lag. 】
【 Seizing the opportunity, Rider kicked Saber Alter with both feet, and in an instant, a loud noise echoed throughout the cave. 】
【 “BANG—!” 】
【 The scene showed Rider gritting her teeth, clearly having used her full strength in this attack. The ground centered around Saber Alter was completely cracked in a circular pattern. Saber Alter was kicked away, leaving a trail on the ground. 】
【 “This is...” Saber Alter looked at her gradually petrifying arm, but had no time to deal with it at the moment, and could only continuously block Rider's attacks with a single hand holding her sword! 】
【 During this, Rider also occasionally used her Mystic Eyes, trying to accelerate the petrification on Saber Alter's body. 】
【 “The curse of the Mystic Eyes?!” The petrification had gradually spread to her body, and even parts of Saber Alter's face had petrified. 】

“Is it really okay for Saber Alter to keep releasing magic cannons in this cave?! It makes me constantly worry if the cave will collapse.”
“Such a smart Rider, using her speed advantage to fight a guerrilla war. She only approaches Saber Alter at the moment of attack, and immediately moves away if the attack doesn't succeed. She looks more like an assassin.”
“Holy crap!! Rider's movements feel so graceful, elegant, TRULY ELEGANT!!”
The people from other worlds felt that watching Rider's battle was more like an enjoyment. She could be said to have used her advantages to the fullest. Even a national-level gymnast's posture wasn't as elegant as hers.
~Jashin-Chan Dropkick World~
“MEDUSA!! Look, her eyes can also turn people to stone.”
A certain trash snake without a shirt excitedly held Medusa's shoulder and kept shaking her.
Medusa currently had swirling eyes, clearly already dizzy from the Jashin-chan...
“???”
“Jashin, let go! Otherwise, tonight's dinner will be snake meat hot pot.”
Seeing this, Yurine's face instantly darkened, looking like she was about to cook her at the slightest disagreement.
Jashin-chan immediately let go. She knew that this hateful woman, Yurine, was telling the truth and would really cook her.
“Pfft hehe! When Yurine is absorbed in watching, I'll use my Jashin-chan flying kick to end her life.”
Jashin-chan showed a comical expression, covering her mouth and smirking, unaware that she was accidentally saying her plan out loud...

“Did Lia use a large amount of magical energy to condense her armor, causing her body's agility to decrease? I always feel like something is wrong...”
Merlin frowned slightly. Logically, Artoria's current magical energy supply comes from the Holy Grail, so she shouldn't be lacking in magical energy.
However, Rider's combat skills can be said to be very impressive. While moving around from a distance, she didn't forget to use her Mystic Eyes to accelerate Artoria's petrification, and she didn't give Artoria time to react, while also attacking herself from time to time.
Moreover, the terrifying thing about these Mystic Eyes is not that it's fine if you don't look into her eyes. As long as you are still aware of her existence and thinking about fighting her, the petrification will continue to occur.
“Rider did a good job, but this is also the result of risking her life.”
The Wise King Gilgamesh's face seemed to have a faint look of approval.
Rider is risking her life. Her speed has reached its limit, and even in that attack just now, her legs were already starting to get injured.
But it's still too early to determine the winner now. He hasn't forgotten that Rider is only responsible for holding back Saber Alter, and the real main attacker, Shirou Emiya, hasn't appeared yet.
。。。。。
【 On the other side, Shirou Emiya also didn't forget his task and was looking for an opportunity everywhere in the cave. At this moment, he rolled up his sleeve, revealing his left hand hidden with a red holy shroud. 】
【 He recalled the conversation he had with Rider before setting off. 】
【 “Rider, I have something to ask you. Can only Servants cause damage to Saber?” 】
【 Rider shook her head and continued, “No, the Servants bound by Sakura have already gained physical bodies. Relying on strong Mystic Codes should be able to cause damage.” 】
【 After hearing this, Shirou Emiya silently asked another question, “There's one more thing... about the battle strategy.” 】
【 After they discussed it, Rider tilted her head slightly. “This method can indeed break through.” 】
【 Shirou Emiya knew there was a crucial point in this plan. “Right, the problem is...” 】
【 “Our mutual trust, right?” Rider looked at Shirou Emiya. “When a comrade is in danger, can you remain calm? You must do what you are least good at.” 】
【 。。。。。】
~Projection of All Worlds~
“The value of Emiya Archer is still increasing... Even without being bound by Sakura, he still had a physical body and cut off an arm for Shirou Emiya.”
“Hehe, you should tell us the strategy... We still don't know what strategy they discussed that night. There's no one else here, are you afraid we'll find out and report it?”
Everyone's expectations were dashed. They didn't care what strategy they discussed that required mutual trust... But not letting them know now was a sign of distrust towards them.
Also, wasn't this shirt of yours torn?! Why are there so many identical ones? Next time, just wear a short-sleeved shirt; it's less troublesome to keep tearing it!
