The situation in the cross-country race has been tense, with the first echelon fighting fiercely, and the second echelon following closely behind. In the blink of an eye, a quarter of the race has passed.
"Ms. Maintenance Technician, what do you think of the current situation?"
Perhaps she was a little tired from the commentary, so Olga Marie handed the microphone to Irisviel who had returned to the commentary desk. She took a few sips of water and complained quietly.
"I'm so tired. I'm so tired."
Irisviel took the microphone and said, "This is a very normal development. Although the forms are different, the overall performance of the vehicles is roughly the same. Needless to say, Get Money, Thousand Sunshine, and Ramle II are my most proud works in recent years, and their quality in all aspects is excellent. Although the remaining Macedonian Conqueror, Becasas, and Great King do not look like regular racing cars, they are actually equipped with special systems that can not only be driven by magic power, but can also be combined with the servant's own skills to create a new way of running - ah, let's start. Is the first one to discover it the King of Conquerors?"
"Thunder, come and help me in my quest."
Along with Iskandar's call, a thick bolt of lightning fell from the sky and landed straight on the roof of the Macedonian Conqueror, but it did not hurt the people in the car. Instead, it was converted into energy, giving the heavy vehicle unprecedented explosive power.
Not only that, where the lightning passed, the dark body of the car was also lit up, revealing an extremely domineering lightning emblem. Seeing this change, the King of Conquerors laughed and patted Waver's shoulder vigorously.
"Well done, very well done!"
"Decryption and deep digging are my strengths." Weber continued to push his glasses with shaking hands. It was not that he wanted to continue this pretentious behavior, but at such a high speed, he could only do this one action.
"Just distance yourself from me in one go, AAAALaLaLaLaie!!!"
"Don't even think about it!"
The sound of the engine in my ears changed.
The heavy bass sound that originally sounded like a raging wave gradually rose to a piercing high pitch, becoming more ferocious and brutal, tearing through the night sky and echoing throughout the sky. However, the source of this change was not a huge four-wheeled car, but just a two-wheeled motorcycle.
Artoria's modern favorite horse - Ramlei II.
"My partner, now is the time to show your strength."
This is the moment when the real devil hidden in the steel beast is awakened. The wild design of the essence of engine engineering, the V injection mechanism... When the car body reaches a high speed, the four-cylinder engine structure is changed to a two-cylinder, increasing the intake volume in one breath to achieve the ultimate acceleration.
This is a special structure unique to V-MAX, which would not be possible to assemble with twin turbo injection.
This design has completely exceeded the scope of motorcycles and even the limits of what humans can control. Even servants with riding skills find it difficult to drive.
But Altria did not find this trial hard at all. The more ferocious the steel beast became, the more excited she felt. This feeling of being exposed to the air resistance like water pressure was exactly what she wanted.
Yes, that's exactly what it feels like to be on horseback.
Although she was driving a monster machine that was the product of modern science, her heart was now back on the battlefield she missed - back to the soul of a knight charging into the enemy camp with his spear held high.
The violent acceleration, which was completely different from before, turned the car body and Altria into bullets, and the surrounding night scene flew away behind them like a meteor.
Seeing this, Illya cheered excitedly: "Well done, Saber, my knight is the best!"
"I can't pretend I didn't hear you."
The successive outbursts of Iskandar and Altria also ignited Loreleija's fighting spirit. She pulled out an unusually exquisite short staff from her sleeve and chanted in a low and fast voice.
"Wind, help me."
Airflow and wind resistance, these extremely important attributes in racing, are under Lorelaia's control. As the world's leading, no, the strongest wind magician, she has already mastered the control of airflow to a very fine level. After a period of analysis, she has completely transformed the airflow into her own power, competing with Iskandar who used the power of thunder and Altria who fully utilized the performance of her vehicle.
At this time, Medusa, who was proud of her riding ability, also began to make moves.
"cherry-"
"Don't worry, wait a minute. My sister is not someone who will give in easily. I feel like she's got some weird ideas in mind."
Sakura's feeling was correct. When the distance between them and the three groups that rushed out reached 50 meters, Olga Marie defined the situation from the original two echelons to three echelons.
Luvia and Rin, who were temporarily behind, smiled at the same time.
"A temporary lead means nothing—"
"Only those who can persevere to the end are qualified to win—"
Then, they looked at their Servants at the same time.
"—Archer, use that!"
Gilgamesh then laughed his signature laugh: "Hahahaha, although I want to use a more extreme method, it's rare that you come up with such an interesting idea, so I will mercifully cooperate with you - Gate of Babylon."
Karna nodded meticulously: "Understood, Master, the magic power is fully charged, and there are 3 seconds left before release. 3, 2, 1!"
"Ah~ Another unexpected situation has occurred. There was a landslide in front of the track—"
"—No, this was not an accident. This was a deliberate act."
Fiore, the referee who had been watching the game silently, corrected Olga Marie's wrong statement.
"On purpose?"
"Yes, just now I felt abnormal magical fluctuations on the Get Money and Thousands of Sunshine. This landslide was caused by them."
Hearing this, Illya started yelling. She was almost thrown out and was filled with anger.
"Foul, foul, foul! We already said before the game that the use of Noble Phantasms is prohibited. Referee, are you going to rule them out?"
"Foul? Ridiculous! The king is the rule." Gilgamesh, who was passing by, laughed and passed by, overtaking in an instant.
"Don't say something that could easily lead to misunderstanding." Rin rolled her eyes at her Servant and explained, "The rules prohibit the use of offensive treasures and magic, and Gilgamesh used the 'Feng Shui Plate' that can simply change the terrain; so we didn't violate the rules!"
"We didn't break any rules." Luvia, who was running side by side with Rin, said, "Karna used the skill 'Magic Release'; the high temperature that melted the ground was just a side effect of overexerting himself."
"Uh, Judge Fiore, what do you think?" Olga Marie handed over the microphone again.
Fiore sighed helplessly: "Although their behavior is aggressive, they did not violate the rules. There is a problem with the rules I made - I can't judge that they violated the rules. But I hope that all players will reduce destructive actions as much as possible and not cause unnecessary trouble."
The last sentence was naturally ignored. Gilgamesh and Karna's actions were like opening Pandora's box, awakening the "devil" in the hearts of every group of people.
"In that case—" Iskandar's expression was grim.
"Then let's also--" Illya curled her lips.
"You may have used a little too much force—" Loreleija spun the staff in her hand.
"—without violating regulations."
