Anyone capable of releasing Sword Qi and Mana is no pushover.
The Sword Qi streaked across the ground towards Geronimo, who instinctively dodged. But strangely, the Sword Qi tracked him! It turned and continued to charge at Geronimo!
"What?!"
Geronimo was startled. It was his first time seeing Sword Qi that could curve. This was far more difficult than curving a bullet with a flick of the wrist.
In his momentary surprise, Geronimo could only use the longbow in his hand to block, but the instant it made contact, he was blown away, and his longbow shattered into splinters.
"Mr. Geronimo!"
Nightingale had just handed off an injured villager to others when she saw Geronimo fall and immediately rushed over.
"Cough, cough! Get out of here! Take the others and go!"
Blood trickled from Geronimo's mouth, and a wound extending to his elbow on his arm gushed blood.
But Nightingale completely ignored Geronimo, pulling out medicinal powder and gauze to start bandaging him. Geronimo grew anxious and couldn't help but yell at Nightingale.
"Go! Uh, miss, you're being unreasonable…"
When Nightingale shoved a multi-barreled pistol into Geronimo's mouth, he froze, terrified that if the enemy didn't kill him, this woman would shoot him dead.
"Please don't yell while I'm treating you. Otherwise, if it goes off, don't blame me, understood?"
Nightingale stared into Geronimo's eyes as she spoke. Geronimo nodded frantically, and only then did Nightingale put the gun away and continue bandaging.
Geronimo grew even more anxious. The man who had just released the Sword Qi was already charging towards them. He was a Caster! If a Servant who seemed to be a Swordsman got close, he'd probably die a miserable death. What? The opponent might be a Berserker? That would be even worse!
As for Nightingale…
Did you expect a crazy healer to defeat a Swordsman? Wake up!
"Hahahaha! Lucky me! Two at once!"
The Dual-Sword Man rushed closer, raising the red Demonic Sword in his hand, preparing for a double kill. But with his B-rank Intuition, he suddenly felt a crisis from above. He looked up!
*"Boom!"*
A golden flame descended from the sky, hurtling towards the Dual-Sword Man's head!
"Haha! Excellent timing!"
Although his intuition warned him, the man showed no retreat. Instead, he channeled astonishing strength! He swung his short sword directly, smashing it forward!
*"Boom!!"*
The short sword and the flame collided. A golden spear tip emerged from the flames, resting on the tip of the short sword.
"Hm?"
The Dual-Sword Man's legs buckled slightly, seemingly unable to withstand the impact from above.
But the next second, the Dual-Sword Man's blood energy surged like flames! He violently erupted with even greater strength, pushing aside the long spear pressing on his short sword! The blood-colored long sword in his other hand stabbed towards the flame, and as it pierced, there was a clang of metal!
*"Clang!!"*
The golden flame was pushed aside, and a golden long spear spun, parting the flames to reveal Karna within.
"A Servant? Hmph! How dare you oppose us! You've got guts!"
The Dual-Sword Man pointed his sword at Karna and roared, but before he finished speaking, a terrifying Mana fluctuation came from not far behind him!
"Hahahaha! Try my Noble Phantasm! Venus God! Flame Heavenly Lord!"
Helena stood at the bow of the Vimana, holding a grimoire and laughing. As immense Mana was released, a ring appeared. Through the ring, people could see a shining golden planet engulfed in flames! Flames surged within it, propelling Venus through the ring, unleashing a terrifying pillar of fire towards the ground!
*"Boom!!"*
The pillar of fire connected heaven and earth, and the moment it landed, it began to spread rapidly.
Many Celtic Warriors were caught and consumed. Even though they were powerful warriors, facing a Servant's Noble Phantasm, they could only unwillingly turn to ash.
Of the more than fifty Celtic Warriors the Dual-Sword Man had brought, less than a tenth remained in an instant.
"There's more?!"
The Dual-Sword Man frowned. He wasn't afraid of Karna alone; if he couldn't win, he could run. But there were two more Servants on the flying airship. With such a numerical disadvantage, even the Dual-Sword Man, fierce as he was, realized that continuing would gain him no advantage.
So.
"Hmph, you got lucky this time. You won't be so fortunate next time!"
The Dual-Sword Man uttered a harsh threat and turned to flee. Karna sneered and then pursued him at high speed.
The Dual-Sword Man felt the heat approaching from behind and frowned slightly, then looked up at the sky and shouted.
"Roar!!"
The sound spread, and then!
"Roar!"
A response echoed from within the clouds. Immediately after, several flying dragons broke through the clouds and descended, blocking Karna's pursuit.
"Seeking death!"
Karna unleashed terrifying flames from his spear, quickly defeating the flying dragons. But when he looked again, the Dual-Sword Man had already vanished without a trace.
"Coward! To send your summoned beast to its death!"
Karna flicked his spear, shaking off the blood, and didn't pursue further. He turned and walked towards Geronimo and Nightingale.
"Who are you?"
Geronimo's arm was already bandaged, and Nightingale had even made a sling for him.
"Where is Rama?"
Karna got straight to the point, no idle chatter.
"Rama? Is that some kind of Indian antibiotic?"
Nightingale asked calmly.
Karna froze.
Geronimo beside them was dumbfounded.
"Sister, you don't even know who the person you saved is?"
Geronimo couldn't help but ask.
Nightingale turned to look at him.
"Of course I do. Aren't you Geronimo?"
"..."
Geronimo: Thanks for remembering my name!
Karna shook his head, then spoke.
"I'm looking for a red-haired man named Rama. He should be seriously injured. He was with you earlier."
At this, Nightingale finally understood.
"Oh, him. He should still be in that house over there."
Nightingale pointed to a house, and Karna nodded and walked towards it.
Just then, Vimana descended. Seeing no danger, the returning villagers gradually gathered around. Helena, on the ship, was radiant, pride written all over her face.
"Everyone! Good morning! Allow me to introduce myself. I am Helena Blavatsky, a Mage. I have been sent by the great President King Edison to rescue you!"
Helena raised her hands and shouted loudly. She expected cheers from the villagers below, but instead...
"Edison? That despicable capitalist? I heard the villagers from two neighboring villages were taken away and eaten!"
"Huh? Does that Edison guy eat people? How scary!"
"That's right, he's a demon with a lion's head! They say he eats several people every day!"
"..."
Helena, on the ship, heard the whispers below and her eye twitched. Don't believe rumors, don't spread rumors, alright! Spreading rumors everywhere carries legal responsibility!
