Pendragon's Infinity Gauntlet

Page 42

The young lady stood before Pendragon, unladylike, with her hands on her hips, leaning forward, her blue-green eyes staring straight at her.

"I go!"

Without a second thought, Pendragon immediately threw the blower he was holding onto the ground.

Rin Tohsaka still looked tired and listless.

This time, Pendragon didn't fly directly to Xindu with her. The two of them were just ordinary high school students. They took a bus to the Xindu bus stop and then walked to the commercial street.

"what?"

——Entry is prohibited.

In the heart of the bustling new city, a building was marked with a yellow warning sign. Despite having little magic left, Rin Tohsaka's senses remained sharp, and she was drawn to the scene.

"Although it's not much, you can still feel the residual magic."

"In other words, it wasn't a simple gas leak accident."

Rin's beautiful eyes swept over the notice next to her, and she made a conclusion about what had happened.

"Ordinary people have actually been involved..."

Kind-hearted Rin felt immense hatred and anger towards this behavior, and her hands, which were originally hanging down naturally, unconsciously clenched into tight fists.

P.S.: I took a nap today, so I still have energy tonight. Tomorrow after get off work, I'm going to the Dong village to pick up my cat. I'll probably make a video and post it on Bilibili. I'll be back in Hangzhou quite late, so I'll ask for leave in advance and make up for it over the weekend lol.

Chapter 73

Don't punish yourself for other people's mistakes...

Pendragon grasped Rin Tohsaka's fist, his gentle movements smoothing out the tightness in her fingers and allowing her to slowly relax.

"Saber..."

Rin looked up in utter surprise, her gaze falling on Pendragon's expressionless face. She couldn't believe this guy could actually comfort people...

To be honest, Rin Tohsaka was a little touched. After all, there's no harm without comparison; compared to this guy's notorious past, Saber at this moment was practically a sweet and caring daughter!

"Come on, let's go eat first."

"..."

To retract my previous statement, this guy is indeed a complete bastard.

Rin Tohsaka turned around and took Pendragon's hand, pulling her forward without saying a word, her beautiful face gloomy.

Are we going to get something to eat?

Pendragon, being dragged along by Rin, seemed completely oblivious to his client's bad mood, his only concern still being to fill his stomach.

Rin, however, kept a gloomy face and did not answer her question.

Finally, the two stopped in front of a restaurant.

Self-service...

Pendragon remained silent and showed no displeasure at the fact that the supper had become a buffet.

In fact, Pendragon preferred buffets to upscale restaurants like French cuisine.

The common tactic of buffet restaurants is to offer pretty and delicate desserts and pastries in order to quickly fill diners' stomachs.

This perfectly suited Pendragon's tastes. Moreover, during the war, Rin Tohsaka had gone to great lengths, investing almost all of her dowry, so the places she took Pendragon to were naturally of a high standard.

After paying for a meal for two, we were seated by the window with a view of the street, thanks to the waiter's extremely enthusiastic smile.

"We can't involve ordinary people... Wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to just stay here and eat?"

First, he put some fruit juice on the table. On the way to the food area with Rin Tohsaka, Pendragon pushed up his glasses expressionlessly, and his rustling voice sounded a little guilty.

"It's alright, what's there to be afraid of?"

Rin Tohsaka glared at her with her beautiful eyes, clearly annoyed. Aside from buffets, she really couldn't afford to feed that mouth of hers.

Even if I lose all my dowry, at most I'll just let her eat her fill for a few days. Better to let my friend die than myself.

"Hmm! Since Rin has said so, I'm relieved."

"...Wait, what are you so sure about? Hey! I'm telling you, don't go too far, Saber, or you'll get blocked."

Only then did Rin Tohsaka realize how terrifying her Servant was, and a sense of panic washed over her. She wanted to stop Pendragon's behavior and make her restrain herself...

"This pasta looks good, Rin."

Unlike Rin Tohsaka, who carried a plate to take food, Pendragon took a fancy to a plate of spaghetti and casually took the large plate of noodles away, leaving others with nothing to eat.

"Ugh……"

Rin Tohsaka covered her eyes, unable to bear watching. It was only natural that such a thing would happen, and not surprising at all.

Rin Tohsaka sighed deeply, unable to imagine how others would look at her. Should she... pretend she didn't know her?

No way! She paid all the bills!

However, the strange looks that Rin Tohsaka expected did not appear, and even though there were several plates of food floating behind Pendragon, no one cast any unusual glances at them.

Lady Rin instantly realized that Saber had used her powers to prevent these ordinary humans from noticing the abnormality on their side.

Realizing this, the blush on Rin Tohsaka's face slowly disappeared. Seeing that Pendragon had taken so much food, she became too lazy to take any more and returned to her seat first.

"Rin, you don't need to control your calorie intake today?"

Pendragon returned with a large amount of food and found Rin sitting at the table, munching on cake. He asked her, somewhat puzzled.

"Leave me alone."

He rolled his eyes at Pendragon, annoyed. He figured he could just pick up push-ups again before going to bed tonight, since they'd been offline.

Thinking this, Miss Rin scooped another tub of ice cream from Pendragon's side.

"..."

Be careful not to overeat and become fat.

Pendragon held a fork in his hand, and with a flick of his wrist, he scooped up a lump of noodles the size of a chicken leg, then opened his mouth and ate it.

At the same time, he cursed the guy across from him who had stolen his tub of ice cream.

No matter how much Rin Tohsaka indulged herself, as a girl, her appetite was ultimately limited, and she soon gave in.

After that, she could only watch helplessly as Saber swiftly and elegantly devoured the food in the restaurant.

By the time Pendragon emerged from the restaurant satisfied, it was already dusk, with the sun setting and darkness falling.

The modern night view of Xindu is slowly unfolding.

"Are you full?"

Rin Tohsaka sat across the table, her hands supporting her smooth chin, making her face appear as radiant as a blooming flower.

"Ah."

The buffet was truly all-you-can-eat, and with the ample supply of food, Pendragon finally felt somewhat full.

"Now that you're full, come with me to digest your food. We have some work to do."

After this meal, Miss Rin's mood clearly improved.

Or rather, you received some good news while eating.

"..."

Pendragon didn't really want to move, but he couldn't resist the client's high spirits and was dragged around the city.

It wasn't exactly a random wandering; Rin Tohsaka had a clear objective and was tracking something with Pendragon.

"here."

A building that is unremarkable compared to the surrounding buildings.

"Here..."

Pendragon wasn't wearing the Omniscient Gloves, but her keen senses as a Servant allowed her to immediately detect the anomaly within.

"There's a familiar. If you want to stop it, it's probably too late."

Pendragon is more sensitive to the magical energy flowing in the air than Rin Tohsaka, to the point that he can almost see it.

Rin Tohsaka did not give up despite Pendragon's remarks, and walked into the office building with a cold expression.

The power inside the building seemed to have been cut off, and the only remaining light source was the green light emanating from the emergency exit signs, making the empty lobby seem incredibly eerie.

However, the chilling aura emanating from Miss Rin seemed even more terrifying than the seemingly haunted building, and several creatures moving in the shadows quickly ran away.

The sound of claws scraping against the hard floor tiles sounded especially eerie and terrifying in the dark environment.

P.S.: Bilibili user a v28293821, I got back at 2 AM yesterday. The cat kept me up all night, I paid to suffer like this... emmmmmmm

Chapter 74 God Era Artificial Intelligence

Chapter 74

They didn't flee; instead, they circled around and silently flanked from one side, preparing to launch an attack.

A creature resembling a canine skeleton, clearly not belonging to any existing species, charged toward Pendragon and his companion, seemingly preparing to attack.

Pendragon seemed to sense Rin's emotions; she needed to vent her anger, so she stood still.

Rin remained standing still, simply raising her left arm expressionlessly.

Rather than being expressionless, he had a cold demeanor, exuding a dangerous aura befitting a magician.

Rin Tohsaka like this is a little scary.

His blue-green eyes narrowed slightly as he observed the target's movement trajectory, while a small stream of magic flowing within him was injected into the magic mark transplanted onto his arm.

A continuously refined curse magic is stored within it, which can instantly cast curses without chanting as long as magic power is injected, and its destructive power can be controlled according to the amount of magic power injected.

A dark red light shone from the front of her fair palm, expanding in the blink of an eye. But then, in the same instant, the magic power at Rin's fingertips seemed to undergo a terrifying compression and fission reaction—

The magic-generated attack streaked through the air at incredible speed, the dark red projectile striking a moving target directly.

With a power comparable to that of a rifle bullet, the monster was shattered into pieces, turning into a pile of bones.

The other canine monster seemed to possess considerable combat skills. After its own kind was easily dealt with, it began to run in a zigzag pattern, attempting to dodge Rin's attacks!

However, it was obviously useless. Rin Tohsaka could even control the spell bullets generated directly from magic to make them turn if she wanted.

The monster's serpentine movements were useless; it was almost instantly headshot by Rin Tohsaka's relentless second attack.

The dog's skull, as hard as iron, was shattered instantly, and the powerful force that followed shook the entire skeleton that made up its body apart, turning it into a pile of fragments.

The external magic clashed with the magic of the familiar's creator, causing them to corrode each other. The fragments formed from the remains quickly turned into black smoke and disappeared.

Perhaps the manufacturer designed it this way to prevent competitors from copying their products, so the familiars that were destroyed by magic simply dissolved.

"This kind of familiar..."

Pendragon witnessed the entire process and offered his opinion.

There is something there.

This must be the Dragon Tooth Soldier created by C-Mom.

Although Rin dealt with them so easily, the two canine familiars still displayed something interesting.

The second familiar that can dodge projectiles is obviously not manually controlled by Caster, because it makes no sense.

So, the magicians of the Age of Gods had already developed such highly practical artificial intelligence?

Even in modern times, with its highly advanced computer technology, this level of achievement is unattainable; it's quite remarkable.

However, it didn't affect Pendragon much; she was just a little curious about it, with a somewhat indifferent interest.

Rin's mood did not improve after eliminating the two henchmen; she still kept a stern face and lowered her left arm.

"Crack..."

The unusual magical power instantly caught Pendragon's attention, causing her to look up at the ceiling of the hall.

This happens to be a ventilation duct, and there might be a few familiars hiding inside. Judging from the amount of magic power, they are considered minor elite monsters among familiars.
