Chapter 96: The Roaring Wind

(1 Chapter today, to tired from my day job tomorrow will release more chapter + kamen rider )

"This cannot continue!"

 

In that moment, Saber clenched her teeth and decisively grasped the sword, pulling it back. Then, with a vigorous thrust, she shouted, "Strike Air!"

 

Her sword had always relied on Invisible Air to conceal its blade. However, this doesn't mean that Invisible Air only had the function of invisibility.

 

Now, she was about to utilize the second function of Invisible Air—using it for an attack!

 

As she pronounced its true name, an invisible sword thrust suddenly erupted into an immensely powerful hurricane. The wind's speed reached astonishing levels, capable of overturning the very ground beneath them.

 

However... this formidable and tumultuous wind failed to blow Tom away.

 

Observing the unleashed hurricane, Saber could clearly see Tom, still wearing a wicked smile, leaping towards her with a small shovel in hand. The only change brought about by the previous Strike Air was that a few of Tom's whiskers had been swayed.

 

To the extent that Saber couldn't determine whether it was her Noble Phantasm that caused the movement of his whiskers or if they simply fluttered naturally.

 

Facing such an opponent, truthfully, Saber felt a sense of powerlessness for the first time. Even if she could make contact with an enemy, it should at least result in some impact, right?

 

After transforming the usage of Invisible Air into an offensive form, naturally, she couldn't temporarily conceal the blade anymore.

 

Following the release of the fierce hurricane, the blade, akin to a lightsaber—Excalibur—revealed itself. It couldn't be said to be similar to the Excalibur Merlin threw earlier to divert the dog's attention; it was identical.

 

Having witnessed that Strike Air also failed to inflict any harm on Tom, Saber immediately prepared to withdraw her sword temporarily.

 

If she didn't retreat now, it was evident that she would once again fall within Tom's attack range and revert to being an ordinary person, devoid of strength. Her face had swelled up like a ball from the previous two encounters.

 

However, just as Saber was about to retract her sword and retreat, an unexpected event occurred.

 

"Clang!"

Invisible Air was dispelled, and the golden-glowing Excalibur clashed with Tom's small shovel. A metallic collision resounded, accompanied by a spark generated from the collision of the two weapons.

 

Without a doubt, this strike... was also ignored!

 

Witnessing this scene, Saber was momentarily dazed. Tom's expression mirrored Saber's, no... it should be said that his confusion surpassed Saber's.

 

He watched as he was about to achieve a triple attack against this unexpected intruder who had startled him. But after a gust of wind passed by, somehow, out of nowhere, a golden-gleaming toy sword suddenly sprung up in the person's hand. Tom almost doubted his own eyes.

 

However, the sensation of the small shovel colliding with something couldn't be feigned. The impact wasn't on a soft cheek but against a solid object, causing the wobbling small shovel to fail in transferring its shaking momentum to the opposite side. Instead, it traveled up the handle and back into Tom's own body.

 

"Woah~ Woah~ Woah~."

 

Once the wobbling momentum fully transferred to Tom's body, as soon as he landed, he began shaking like jelly with an extra tremor effect. Sitting in place, his whole body undulated like a wave.

 

The transfer of the shaking effect was uniform, with the amplitude shifting from the hand to the chest, then the buttocks, and finally reaching the tail's position. After a significant twist of the tail, Tom instantly shook from his tail to his head, with a wave passing through his entire body. Finally, he freed himself from the controlled state caused by his own self-inflicted shaking.

 

Meanwhile, after Saber released her Noble Phantasm, Invisible Air once again enveloped Excalibur, concealing the blade.

 

Tom, on the other hand, was still in a state of self-imposed rigidity. Saber's eyes brightened instantly as she spotted a perfect opportunity!

 

"Charge!" Not wasting this excellent chance to attack, Saber stepped forward and swung Excalibur, now an invisible sword, towards Tom, aiming for his head!

 

However, once again, this strike caught Saber off guard. Yes... her attack was once again ignored by Tom!

 

Seeing her strike fail, Saber decisively took a few steps back.

 

"Could it be... because of Invisible Air?!"

 

Witnessing Tom once again ignoring her attack, she recalled the moment when Excalibur became visible after using Strike Air, and it made contact with Tom's waving small shovel.

 

Upon further reflection on the difference between Tom ignoring Excalibur after it once again concealed itself, it is evident that the problem lies in its invisibility aspect.

 

After hesitating for a moment, Saber, in order to confirm her hypothesis, ultimately chose to remove Invisible Air, which was entwined around Excalibur, hiding the appearance of the sword to prevent others from seeing it. As a result, Excalibur was exposed without a trace of concealment before everyone's eyes. Even by revealing the holy sword Excalibur in this manner, it was highly likely that her true name would be exposed.

 

However, at this moment, Saber couldn't afford to worry too much. After all, if she didn't try to figure out how to inflict damage on Tom, she would likely be beaten to death by the cat before her true name was revealed.

 

Saber had no doubts about being beaten to death by Tom in a close combat battle. Setting aside the most basic question of being unable to land a blow on Tom, one only needed to look at the two swollen marks on her face from Tom's slaps. A normal Servant's strike would at most result in a bruise, but Tom had managed to swell her face.

 

If a couple more attacks like that were to follow, Saber felt there was a genuine possibility of being beaten to death in close combat. However, if she could truly attack Tom after discarding Invisible Air, Saber would have the confidence to defeat him!

 

At the same time, Tom finally freed himself from the forced rigidity caused by the full-body shaking and began to climb up from the ground.
