Two days had passed since the solo kill of Zouken Matou.
In these five days, Raiden Mei's progress in [Magnetic Field Rotation] wasn't slow.
But as her power began to strengthen, a new problem appeared.
The [Perfect Realm] awakened alongside Magnetic Field Rotation was stuck dead at 1%!—(MISSING)the number from when it awakened.
According to the answer Raiden Mei got from asking the System, the System stated this was due to the 1%! (MISSING)pity guarantee; otherwise, this 1%! (MISSING)would have dropped to nothing long ago.
It was quite awkward.
As for Aaron, he could feel he had reached the breaking point for [Current Push].
Now he felt that what he lacked was an "opportunity."
He was constantly accumulating power through Galvanism. Waiting for that opportunity to appear, as long as he could complete the breakthrough of Current Push in one go, his power should skyrocket instantly.
But this opportunity...
Would probably be the decisive battle with those Servants.
During this time, he went to the Tohsaka residence and the Einzbern castle. Unsurprisingly, by the time he spent a few days finishing reconnaissance, Tokiomi and Kiritsugu had long since run away with their teammates.
And what was excessive was that Tokiomi left nothing in the magecraft workshop but magical traps. Gem collections, book collections, patent explanation documents—absolutely nothing was left behind.
Kiritsugu's side, being a temporary base, naturally had nothing.
After visiting these two places once, Aaron got nothing but injuries from magical bombardments.
Although these spells basically only caused him minor damage and even facilitated the evolution of [Demon Armor: Incursio]'s magic resistance, Aaron still felt very angry.
And according to the System's reminder, the situation in the Type-Moon world was special; the difficulty of staying here was much higher than in the Akame ga Kill world.
Plus, the Holy Grail War basically had to be finished within two weeks. So after some thought during this period, Aaron felt...
He should take the initiative to attack.
Those old bastards... well, actually not that old.
Among the remaining combinations, Assassin couldn't threaten him and Raiden Mei. Ultimately, the opponents he had to deal with were Rider and Saber.
And these two opponents...
Saber's Holy Sword wasn't easy to deal with, and Iskandar's Ionioi Hetairoi was even trickier.
The former, if released and blasted at him—even with "Wall" active, Aaron couldn't guarantee he'd survive that strike.
The latter... the tricky part wasn't anything else, purely the numbers.
For Aaron, who relied on skills for instant bursts but lacked map-clearing attacks, when facing such a large army, as long as the opponent had a bit of brain and didn't lead the charge, the probability of him being worn to death was quite high.
And Iskandar... expecting him to be like in the original work, leading the charge even with Ionioi Hetairoi active, seemed a bit demanding.
Now that the rationality of this group had increased subtly, who knew if Iskandar would just pull him into Ionioi Hetairoi and let his subordinates throw spears at Aaron for half a day before acting.
Among the Noble Phantasms stolen from Gilgamesh last time, there were actually some that could release beam attacks.
But the problem was, after the owner died, these Noble Phantasms could no longer maintain their original forms. Even if he tried to pour mana into them to release the Noble Phantasm, the item would dissipate thoroughly before releasing its ability.
Unless Aaron found a way to stabilize these Noble Phantasms, he couldn't even use them as bombs for Broken Phantasm.
Of course, someone in the team knew map-clearing attacks. But the problem was...
Stealing a glance at Raiden Mei, Aaron withdrew his gaze.
If "She" could act, Aaron wouldn't be helpless facing the Army of the King.
But the problem was, if "She" came out—who knew if that woman would come over with the enemy to rush Aaron first before considering other things.
Waiting was not an option, but the odds weren't great right now.
He had to say, Aaron really felt he had been checkmated on the spot.
And dragging this out offered Aaron no great benefit.
Besides Servant and Master strength and compatibility, the Holy Grail War was all about tactics and intelligence.
It had been five days since the first engagement. As long as those bastards had normal IQs, they would have allied long ago and started discussing how to target him.
If this continued to drag on, they might come up with tactics easier to target him with.
And adding Kiritsugu Emiya, this unethical Master, and the King of Blankets who had started to become unethical, as long as these two's brains spun a bit faster, Aaron felt this master-servant pair with inexplicable synergy might pull off even weirder maneuvers.
So the decisive battle would basically be within these two days. If he dragged it out, Aaron would only become more passive.
He knew very well that he was at most a little clever. Winning relied on his tactics being suitable for beginners' killers and the intelligence he acquired in advance.
But now, with his intelligence advantage gone, he didn't dare say he was smarter than those people in terms of tactics.
Especially Kiritsugu Emiya. His magecraft level wasn't high, but as a killer, his experience was far richer than Aaron's.
[Mei, we launch a general attack tomorrow. Our skill slots remain unchanged; use 'Galvanism' and 'War Fog'.]
[...Mr. Aaron, are you suggesting I run away immediately upon encountering enemies?]
[I really want to suggest that, but I estimate you won't listen. Anyway, you have [Dimensional Formation: Shambhala]. Just ensure your safety—if you can't win, running away isn't shameful.]
[...I understand.]
[But thinking about it, the strong enemies should concentrate their power on me. After all, judging by the lack of battles elsewhere recently, these people have definitely allied.]
[It seems I put too much pressure on them. In this situation, they will inevitably join forces to attack me first. At that time, pay a little attention to the surroundings.]
[See if there are any Masters unafraid of death appearing. If there are... I don't expect you to kill them, at least cut off their arms and take their Command Spells.]
[...I understand, Mr. Aaron.]
