- The attack on John had triggered every police officer with strength to spare to spring into action at once. Each of them held a different Noble Phantasm. “Fake” Noble Phantasms—mere relics that had lost their original Mystery and magical energy, but whose legends had been overwritten by Caster.
- It would be fair to say that they attacked with every trick they could think of—feints, sneak attacks from blind spots, and more. It could even be justly said that their teamwork had improved since their battle with Assassin at the police station.
- And yet, Archer, having stolen Berserker’s Noble Phantasm and gained the power of a demon, did not even make an effort to dodge them or to deflect them with his weapon. He took every blade and projectile aimed at him, but they had no apparent effect.
- “Shit... Is he the same as that Dead Apostle Jester...?” One of the officers ground his teeth.
- Memories of the moment they had been crushed in the police station flashed through their minds. Faced with what was becoming a repeat of that defeat, the members of Clan Calatin never considered fleeing. If they retreated, they would lose their raison d’être called “justice.”
- Like John, they carried their chief ’s nearly-hypnotic words with them. That said, an honorable death was not what they wanted. They continued to think of ways they might stop the monster confronting them.
- While they thought, the now-grotesque Archer advanced.
- But every attack they aimed at his vitals was stopped by the cloth he wore. When they attacked his exposed arms and sides, in contrast, they felt their attacks connect, but never managed to reach the level of an effective blow.
- On top of the cloth that completely nullified their attacks, his bare body’s specs must have been extraordinary as well. Given that he had also absorbed the demon’s power—although the police officers did not understand exactly what had happened—they supposed that his endurance and resistance to magical energy must have improved as a result.
- In that case, did the enemy facing them have any weaknesses at all?
