Chapter 197: Bai Song's Strongest Chariot!

"Astolfo, it's up to you!" With determination in his eyes, Fujimaru Ritsuka turned to his Servant, Astolfo.

"Leave it to me, Master!"

Astolfo crouched down, visibly disgusted, and rubbed his left index finger on the ground a few times. Perhaps it was just psychological, but... which Servant doesn't believe in psychological effects? Even Artoria, who relies on gut feelings in battle, is essentially trusting her intuition.

After a few rubs, confirming there were no issues, Astolfo stood up, hoisted his lance, and exclaimed, "Yo-ho, ready to go~sis!"

Ordinarily, trying to defeat a Servant with just regular attacks would be a futile dream. But now, Red Archer had exposed his vulnerabilities and remained motionless. As long as a Servant possessed a long enough weapon, they could deliver a fatal blow to a trapped Servant like this.

Despite Astolfo's limited melee skills, the fact that he had a sufficiently long weapon was the key. He could strike from behind, aiming directly at Red Archer's Spirit Core.

This plan was virtually a guaranteed kill for Red Archer. The only chance of survival would be if Red Archer had a Noble Phantasm capable of resurrection, similar to Heracles' Twelve Labors.

"Fwip!" Fujimaru Ritsuka pointed his right hand at Astolfo, placed his hand on his arm, and activated the strengthening Magecraft inherent to the Mystic Code.

"Gawain... Master's power... is flowing into my body!"

Sensing the surge of power within, Astolfo aimed squarely at Red Archer's 'weak point,' his target undoubtedly being the center of Red Archer.

Preparing to attack from behind, Astolfo charged boldly, crying out, "Haahhhh!!"

Closer, getting closer, the distance between Astolfo and Red Archer was rapidly closing!

"Slash!!"

Warning!!! Due to the extreme violence, the description of the attack landing and its aftermath (169 words) is omitted here.

However, at that moment, a sudden and intense pain struck him from behind. In a single blow, it pierced directly through his Saint Graph. As the sensation of pain surged, due to the force of impact, Red Archer's entire body lurched forward and downward, his face landing perfectly on the plastic bag covering the excrement.

Feeling the pain in his rear, Red Archer's initial reaction wasn't anger, but an indescribable sense of relief. If that annoying kid hadn't covered it with a plastic bag, he felt like he might have resigned from his dignity.

"Darn it, I really needed that plastic bag!"

Leaving behind this final thought, Red Archer, due to the shattering of his Saint Graph, transformed into a brilliant blue spirit particle.

In Chaldea, watching the notification of the Servant's disappearance, Da Vinci was quick to praise, "Mission accomplished, well done, Fujimaru Ritsuka."

"To think... he was really defeated like this?"

Watching Red Archer completely disappear into the wall, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt a sense of unreality. In the past, when restoring other Singularities, defeating a Servant was never an easy task, often requiring significant effort. Yet today, shortly after arriving in this Singularity, he had managed to defeat a Servant.

Well... using the term "defeat" at this moment probably isn't quite fitting. Perhaps the phrase "picking up a severed head" might better suit the situation.

Waving his lance, Astolfo excitedly reported to Fujimaru Ritsuka, "Master, I got the first kill!"

As he spoke, Astolfo casually waved his hand, causing his lance to transform into a golden spirit particle.

"Ah, well done, Astolfo."

Returning to the perspective at the parking lot, in a relatively secluded spot, a voice suddenly emerged from an electric scooter.

"Wu hu~!" In the scooter, a voice rang outneither too loud nor too soft.

Upon hearing this sound, Bai Song, who was on watch, instantly lit up. This was the secret signal he and Jerry had agreed upon. The meaning behind the sound was clear: the battery dismantling was complete!

With this step done, he could finally begin modifying his electric scooter. Once he joined forces with Tom, they were bound to create the ultimate racing vehicle that could secure victory in tomorrow's race.
