It is not yet certain whether all the servants on the red side are monsters, but the red lancer Karna in front of him is undoubtedly a monster.
In terms of power, Gilgamesh, who has endless treasures and can fire a barrage of bullets whenever he wants, and Iskandar, who commands thousands of troops and ravages the earth, are stronger than Karna. However, the shock these two brought to Shinji was not as strong as Karna.
The strength of Gilgamesh and Iskandar is the strength of external things, while the strength displayed by Karna is his own strength, pure strength.
This is not to say that relying on external objects is not strong enough. Equipment is a kind of strength. Ordinary people grow to the point where they can make the mysterious world tremble because of the power of technology. Technology is also an external force. And Karna can become a ceiling-level servant, ranked among the "Golden Three Targets", and the Indestructible Blade and the Golden Armor also account for a large proportion.
But no matter what, creatures will feel envious when they see a strong individual in their own group. This is the instinct of creatures, and humans are no exception. At this time, even without the Indestructible Blade and the Golden Armor, Karna can still launch such an attack. This shock is no less than the shock of seeing a man enter the sea and hunt the beast of waves in Scathach's memory.
However, Shinji was determined and knowledgeable, and the lingering fear and shock that came from it only lasted for a short moment.
When Karna stood up from the pit he had dug, Shinji's fear and shock had faded away, replaced by unparalleled fighting spirit - one day, he would become as strong as Karna, no, stronger than him.
Fighting against the strong, recognizing himself, and becoming stronger are his biggest goals in this journey to the parallel world, besides obtaining the Holy Grail.
With a wave of his hand, the Qingyun Sword returned to his hand, and the spirit particles gathered under his feet, and the Hermes Feather Shoes could be materialized at any time. This was the only way Shinji could think of to fight Karna.
The distance cannot be too close, otherwise Karna will never give himself a chance to escape. Karna, whose marksmanship has reached the divine level, has this ability.
The distance cannot be too far, as I lack the means of long-range attack without the "magic gun, bow and sword".
Only at medium distance can Karna be restrained by relying on a wide variety of treasures, among which the Qingyun Sword with wide-area attack and the ability to block vision accounts for a large proportion.
The feather shoes that are ready to be used at any time are both a trap set by Shinji and the last guarantee. So far, he has not shown his ability to fly in the air. At a critical moment, he can use this to surprise Karna. If the battle situation is too bad, he can also escape into the sky.
That's right, Shinji planned to waste time, slowly waste time. The Noble Phantasm he possessed was not enough to kill Karna by force, and if he wanted to win the battle, he had to waste time.
Among the many heroes in Valhalla, Karna is also a big mana consumer. In addition to normal attacks, passive skills and the golden armor on his body, all other skills and treasures require a huge consumption of magic power. According to Shinji's estimation, he has at most two more chances to use "Magic Release (Flame)" or treasures. After these two waves, Karna can only retreat.
Although Shinji's Noble Phantasm burst tactics will also consume a huge amount of magic power, he can squander the magic power unscrupulously because there are androids to share the burden. This is the source of his confidence.
Karna, I want to see how long you can hold on!
Ten meters away, Karna gathered his magic power and walked out of the pit. With his eyesight and knowledge, he knew what Shinji was planning when he saw him holding a sword in one hand and forming a seal with the other.
It must be said that this strategy made Karna feel a little troubled. After all, an anti-military treasure is an anti-military treasure. Even if the level is not high, it is not so easy to deal with it with spearmanship alone. And Shinji's fearless look clearly shows that he is not worried about the consumption of magic power - this is not a disguise. Karna, who has the skill "The Insight of the Poor", can see through the disguise and face the truth.
The opponent can afford to waste time, but he cannot, and this is what Karna finds troublesome.
Of course, it was just a trouble, and Karna had already thought of two solutions.
First, close the distance and engage in close combat. Although the Black Assassin would not let him get close so easily, Karna was confident that he could use "Magic Release (Fire)" to suddenly accelerate. As long as he got close, the outcome would be determined.
Second, release the treasure and win with one strike. Karna is fully confident in his treasures. No matter which attack treasure he uses, he can turn the Black Assassin into ashes. Unfortunately, these treasures take a little time to prepare, and they are not guaranteed to hit. If the Black Assassin escapes, it will be a big trouble.
No matter which method is used, it requires a suitable time. Before that, we can only be patient.
Thinking this, Karna points his spear at Shinji, silently declaring a fight.
Shinji didn't waste any words. The mark changed and the wind and fire rekindled.
At this moment, the two of them sensed the breath of the fourth Servant almost at the same time.
"Do it, Saber!"
Along with a rough male voice, the bright sword light tore through the wall of fire and attacked from behind.
Karna calmly swept his spear across, and the edge of the Indestructible Blade accurately blocked the sword light, allowing him to see clearly the tall man standing in the flames with a big sword in his hand.
"Black Saber—"
With Assassin in front and Saber behind, Karna remained unshaken and just spoke calmly.
"—That's right. This is Tulifas after all. It's not surprising to see reinforcements. Let me face both of you at once."
"Varied-"
The one who spoke was not Black Saber, nor Shinji, but the Master of Black Saber, Gold, who was standing next to Jeanne.
Everyone in the Thousand Worlds Tree knows that Gold has been extremely confident recently. His confidence comes from the artificial human battery system he created, and more from Saber - no matter how powerful the servant is, his Saber will not lose. Gold is so confident.
But now, he was shocked that his Saber was actually looked down upon.
Then, surprise quickly turned into hatred, and Gold roared with anger:
"How dare you say such arrogant words, Saber, Assassin, defeat this arrogant Crimson Lancer for me!"
"No, Saber, you go alone. I'll take a break."
Shinji's reaction was completely opposite to Gold's idea. He took off his spirit robe, put away the Qingyun Sword and Ishtar Spear, turned and walked towards Jeanne d'Arc at the edge of the battlefield, and seemed not to mind leaving his back to Karna at all.
Gold shouted, "Assassin, what are you doing? Didn't you hear my order? I told you to kill the Red Lancer with Saber!"
"Shut up, Fatty. No one will think you're dumb if you don't speak."
Shinji walked while applying healing runes to his calves, without even looking at Gold.
PS: The poor man’s knowledge: Level A.
Karna is fortunate enough to ask the weak about their lives and values while being alone in the world. This skill shows his power to grasp the essence of the other party. He can see through the other party's character and attributes, and will not be deceived by verbal excuses or deceptions.
