Type-Moon, but the Servant is Tom

Chapter 38: Soji's Desperate Technique!

Looking down at the tattered umbrella that Tom poked her with, Soji realized that it didn't cause any harm. Although she hadn't fully recovered from the shock of being thwarted by a mouse just moments ago, she felt relieved that Tom's attack had been inconsequential.

However, at that moment, Tom pressed the button to open the umbrella.

"Snap!" Suddenly, the umbrella's canopy opened wide with tremendous force, directly sending Soji flying backward. Her back arched as she soared through the air, resembling a shrimp. "Puff?!"

"Bang!" After flying dozens of meters in an instant, Soji finally crashed into the wall at the end of the alley, shattering it. Only then did her backward motion come to a halt.

"Cough... What kind of power is this?!" Wiping off the saliva that had sprayed from the impact, Soji looked at the tattered umbrella in Tom's hand with shock. It was just a discarded, broken umbrella she had picked up off the ground. How could it unleash such immense power with a simple opening motion?

The force was so strong that it had sent her flying, far beyond what was reasonable.

No... Something even more shocking to Soji was the mouse! If she hadn't been mistaken just now, that mouse had surely blocked her full downward strike with a toothpick, right?

Moreover, that mouse, after waving the toothpick in mid-air and nearly sending its sword flying, didn't get thrown back by the force. Instead, it descended at a normal speed, as if the attack had been directed at an object without mass. It was like it had just swung in the air, and Soji herself was the mere air it had swiped!

At this moment, Soji suddenly felt her brain was insufficient. Everything she saw made no sense, yet it had all actually happened!

The courage she had just built up through self-brainwashing vanished in the brief exchange of blows. The panic that arose from realizing she had been discovered reappeared in Soji's heart, and she even started to question her existence.

What was even more absurd was that this terrifying opponent wasn't just one, but two. She had been able to defeat the two Servants from last night with ease, but now she had to face two opponents at a bug-like level. Could she handle it?

Although Soji was confident in her swordsmanship, it was evident that these adversaries couldn't be defeated solely with sword skills.

Soji finally made the choice she should have made from the beginning, and it was also the most correct choice: to escape! However, she couldn't let her opponents know about it. If that cat and mouse were prepared, Soji had zero confidence in being able to escape. She would likely be defeated just like Alexander and Hephaestion, with effortless and casual attacks.

"Noble Phantasm!" Soji stood up, took a deep breath, and her body began to envelop a faint blue magical aura. The magical energy started gathering around the rocket thrusters and the katana.

Seeing Soji's actions, Bai Song quickly retreated about ten meters. It was clear that she was about to use her Noble Phantasm, and he didn't want to get caught in the crossfire.

With the magical energy reaching its peak, Soji finally moved. The immense magical power flowed entirely into the rocket thrusters on her back, causing her to vanish from the spot in an instant. She charged towards Tom's direction.

Within a short distance of tens of meters, Soji accelerated three times in the air, each acceleration accompanied by a massive trail of flames. From Bai Song's perspective, it almost looked like she was farting to gain speed.

In a brief moment, she approached Tom at high speed, wielding her sword with one hand. "Jet, Three-Stage Thrust!!!"

Seeing the imposing Soji, Tom instantly became a bit flustered. But it wasn't a big problem. It quickly retrieved the umbrella, attempting to use it to block Soji's deadly strike. However... just as Tom raised the umbrella, it realized that Soji had directly passed by its left side, and her speed was increasing!

"Hehehe, didn't expect this, did you? This is my escape route!" Leaving behind these words, Soji continued flying low into the distance without looking back!

Soji's heart was filled with excitement at this moment, bordering on exhilaration. Her feigned attack strategy had proven to be correct. Finally, she managed to escape alive using this move!

Watching Soji's display of sparks and lightning throughout her actions, the person, cat, and mouse present were all dumbfounded. The first one to react was Tom.

Realizing that Soji seemed to be planning to escape, Tom quickly followed suit. It still had unfinished business with her after she shaved its head. Now she wanted to run? No, that was unacceptable, absolutely unacceptable!

However, it was clear that without the threat of death, Tom's speed wasn't enough to catch up to Soji, who had used her Noble Phantasm to make her getaway.

Just as Tom was considering giving up the chase, it suddenly caught sight of an unusually familiar broom by the side of the road. It felt like it had seen it somewhere before. Instantly, it seemed as if someone had pressed the pause button, and Tom came to a halt in a running posture, as if inertia didn't exist in this world.

Approaching and picking up the broom, Tom finally remembered what it was. Wasn't this the flying broom of that witch it had seen before?! To confirm its thoughts, Tom tentatively placed the broom horizontally in the air and let go. As expected, the broom hovered in mid-air!

Looking at the broom, Tom revealed an evil smile, and its eyebrows twitched several times, making a 'thump thump' sound. Tom directly sat on the broom, twisted the front end with its hand, and the broom made a sound similar to a motorcycle starting up, "Vroom~ Gurgle gurgle gurgle...!"

Finally, Tom's right foot probed the empty space below it, finding a suitable angle. With a downward step, just like stepping on the accelerator, the broom shot forward with Tom like an arrow released from a bow!

"Hahaha, finally escaped!" Flying close to the ground, Soji felt like she was on the verge of tears of joy. She thought she was trapped in a life-or-death situation, but she managed to escape.

However, before she could celebrate for more than a few seconds, a roaring sound like a motorcycle exploding echoed from behind her!

"Vroom~ Gurgle gurgle gurgle...!"
