"…It has already started."
Based on the aura of magic around him, Qiesi could accurately determine the situation.
Someone had set up a barrier. It seemed like the enemy Servant's Master had done it. The goal was to isolate the ordinary people from the Holy Grail War and hide the real scene. And not exposing their actions to the public was a rule that magicians had to abide by.
Qie Sihuai held the 10-kilogram Alien sniper rifle and began to think. Based on the signal from the transmitter, he had a rough idea of Alice's exact location. However, the problem was how to approach it and where to observe it.
He had no intention of participating in the battle at all, which was why he had brought a sniper rifle. He wanted to stand in a suitable position to observe the battle and use the sniper rifle to attack when necessary. Servants were not humans, so only Servants could injure Servants. No matter how powerful Qiesi and Wu Mi's spears were, they were useless against the Servants. Saber's mission was to fight against the enemy's Servant. As long as the other party could focus on the battle and not be distracted by the safety of the Master. Then they would have a chance of winning this battle.
"It seems like that place is a good place to observe the battle.”
Wu Mi pointed ahead as she spoke. It was a crane that stood tall in the night. After visual inspection, the height of the driver's cabin was about 30 meters. If one could quietly climb up there, it could be said to be the best place to watch the battle.
He had no objections to Wu Mi's opinion, but it was precisely because of this that he shook his head.
"Indeed, that place is the best place for surveillance, so I'm afraid we're not the only ones who have such thoughts.”
“……”
Even without Qiesi's explanation, Wu Mi already understood his intentions.
"Wu Mi, you sneak in from the east, I'll sneak in from the west…We need to find someone who can observe Saber.
It was an observation point that could fight and monitor the crane.”
"I understand."
Wu Mi held the Aug assault rifle and disappeared into the shadows of the warehouse street. Qiesi carefully moved in the opposite direction as he confirmed the response of the transmitter.
Snow Rabbit, who was carrying the sleeping Lolita Sakura and running home, suddenly felt a strong magical current erupting from the dock and couldn't help but stop in its tracks.
"Brother, what's the matter?"
"Xiao Ying, do you want to become a qualified mage?”Snow Rabbit asked after explaining the rules and cruelty of the Holy Grail to Lolita Sakura.
"Yes, Xiao Ying will definitely become a qualified mage.”
"Now, I'll start teaching you an important lesson for Magicians. Close your eyes if you hate the killing between Magicians!”He gently stroked Xiao Ying's hair and looked at the snow rabbit's eyes that were shining with desire. Xiao Ying nodded hard.
"Yeah."
……………………
"The game ends here! lancer!”Saber and Alisfeldt raised their heads. He wanted to find the owner of this voice.
"Lancer's…master?”
Alice looked around, but she didn't see anyone. Because the voice came so suddenly, they didn't even have time to determine if it was a man or a woman or where it came from. Was it an illusion? In short, the other party did not seem to want Saber and Alisfel to see him." Don't waste any more time. That Saber is very difficult to deal with, so I allow you to use your Treasured Artifact to end the battle quickly.”
Saber could not help but be affected by his words. Treasured Artifact-Finally, Lancer's master urged him to use his strongest skill.
"Understood, my master."
Lancer suddenly changed his tone to a respectful one. At the same time, he changed his posture.
He casually threw the short spear in his left hand at his feet.
"Then…that spear is Lancer's…?”
In front of Saber's eyes, the curse on the spear in Lancer's right hand was slowly removed. It was a dark red gun. The blade of the spear was wrapped in a completely different magic power, like an ominous mirage.
"That's it. Go up and kill her."
The lancer held a gun with both hands. It let out a series of low roars. Saber also lowered her body and carefully predicted Lancer's actions. The effects that Treasured Artifacts could display were generally divided into two types. One was to shout out his real name while unleashing a killing power. Saber's ultimate skill belonged to this category. Although the Excalibur was currently covered by a barrier, once she was freed from her disguise and called out her true name, her sword would release a torrent of light that would not even be a threat to an army. It was not an exaggeration to say that this was a sword that could turn the earth into scorched earth. Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, it could not be used.
The other was to use the attributes that the weapon already had as a precious artifact. Saber's Wind King Barrier belonged to this type. It could not hurt the enemy by itself, but it could lead the battle to a more favorable direction. Although the effect was not very powerful, as long as it could be used flexibly, it could be the key to victory.
However, what kind of gun did Lancer use?
It might be the latter. Saber's intuition told her. Lancer and Saber continued to be in a stalemate.
The first to make a move was Lancer. Compared to the gorgeous and varied moves he had used before, this straight attack even felt cumbersome. It was as if he had not predicted Saber's next move at all. No, he did not even intend to defend against her counterattack.
Saber used his sword to block the incoming spear. However, this spear that should have been harmless…
Suddenly, a strange wind blew.
With the spear and sword as the center, a whirlwind was stirred up without any warning.
"Ah?"
Saber shouted in surprise and took three steps back. The lancer, however, had a calm expression on his face and was not prepared to chase after him. In Alisfall's opinion, she didn't understand what had happened at all.
It was just a gust of wind, only for a moment. It was not any other magic power. But the question was where the wind came from, because it was obviously not caused by the gun in Lancer's hand. However, Saber was the only one who was surprised. lance。He laughed and scoffed at her surprise.
"Your sword has been exposed."
“……”
Lancer whispered proudly and Saber remained silent. Only these two people knew the reason for this matter.
The wind came from Saber's sword. To be precise, it should have come from her Wind King Barrier. The air that was compressed in the barrier to distort the light was released in an instant. The moment the spear and sword collided with the lancer.
Then, Lancer saw the corner of the real sword that was revealed from the broken barrier. What he said just now was evidence that his gun had torn apart the Wind King's Barrier.
"I've already seen your blade clearly. I won't be fooled by you anymore.”
Lancer roared and rushed over. As he said earlier, every shot was a fatal attack. There was no extra movement, and every move was calculated accurately. Saber could only try his best to block every attack with his sword.
In an instant, the afterimage of a golden sword appeared in a flash.
“……”
The air pressure that leaked out formed a strong hurricane, blowing Saber's golden hair away. There was no doubt that the red spear had removed the Wind King Barrier. In the constant battle, the sword that was originally invisible was now almost completely exposed.
"But…that gun…"
'There's still a way,' Saber encouraged himself. The spear technique that he used with both hands should be an ordinary move that he had seen before. In the continuous attack, Saber keenly discovered a loophole in the opponent. Even if he did not block this attack, as long as he could dodge it, the hardness of the armor would be able to block his attack. This was a perfect opportunity to counterattack. Saber decisively stabbed the sword towards Lancer's shoulder, ignoring the tip of the spear that brushed past his ribs. This bit of power could be blocked by his armor, and his sword could cut the other party into two…
The sudden pain woke Saber up.
He retracted his sword and turned his body to the side. The situation at that time could only be described as a close call. Lancer's gun was stained with blood.
Needless to say, they knew whose blood it was.
Saber, who had finally escaped from Lancer's pursuit, immediately stood up and continued to restrain her opponent. However, she did not hide the pain on her face.
“saber！”
No longer thinking about what had happened, Alisfel immediately used magic to heal Saber's wound on his ribs.
"Thank you, Alice. I'm fine. The healing magic is working."
As she spoke, she covered her wound. It seemed that the pain in her wound had not completely disappeared.
" So it's not easy to win…" Lancer did not look disappointed at all. Instead, he shouted excitedly.
It seemed that this man was bent on fighting a strong enemy. Saber gritted her teeth and calmed down. She was piecing together a series of events in her mind in order to find the cause of the matter.
The armor did block Lancer's gun, but even so, the gun still stabbed him. Furthermore, there was not a single scratch on Saber's armor.
There could only be one conclusion from this speculation, which was that the moment the spear touched the armor, the armor disappeared. Although Saber couldn't turn into a spirit body, she could at least control the armor to make it corporeal. In other words, her armor was made of magic power, unlike the clothes that Alice had bought for her. When he linked it to the disintegration of the Wind King's barrier…the moment his spear touched the barrier, it loosened.
"…I understand. I know the secret of your gun, Lancer!”
Saber muttered. She gritted her teeth again in the face of the enemy's power. That red gun could cut off magic power. However, this was not to remove the magic from the source, because Saber's armor was still there, and the Wind King Barrier was still working. The gun's ability could only take effect when it came into contact with magic power. Then he would take advantage of that moment to cut off his magic power. Perhaps it would make his gun ineffective.
Although the destructive power of this precious artifact was ordinary, its ability posed a considerable threat to him. The quality of a Servant weapon could be said to be determined by its mana and magic effects. Therefore, no matter how strong a servant was, in front of a lancer, they would probably only be left with a powerless position.
"You should give up your armor, Saber. In front of my gun, you are no different from being naked.”
Saber scoffed at Lancer's sarcastic words. "If taking off the armor can make you so proud, I will have a headache.”
Since he had already recognized the secret of Lancer's gun, there was nothing to be afraid of. It was still not decided who would win or lose. Saber's silver armor suddenly scattered in all directions.
Alisfeldt was dumbfounded, while Lancer narrowed his eyes.
Chestplate, wrist guard, and leg guard, nothing was left. Saber automatically removed his armor. The pieces of armor lost the supply of magic power and gradually disappeared like smoke. "Since I can't defend, I can only cut you before I get cut. Wake up! lancer!”
Saber started fighting again in his thin casual clothes. The tip of the spear pierced from below. She nimbly dodged and used half of her body to confront the lancer. She no longer defended herself and was ready to strike back at her opponent at any time.
Saber decided to use the final blow regardless of the outcome. Everyone could see her decision from her face.
"This is the final blow. Is this the so-called staking everything on one shot?”
Lancer said in a nostalgic tone with a face full of satisfaction, but his tone was obviously nervous.
After removing her armor, Saber not only felt relieved, but the magic power that was originally used to maintain her armor was also injected into her attack. For Saber, who had the skill " release magic ", this was quite meaningful.
The so-called " release of magic power " referred to the ability to gather a large amount of magic power in the weapons and limbs in one's hand. It could explode with magic power at any time as needed to instantly improve one's movement ability.
In other words, Saber's every move could be accelerated instantly. This was also the reason why Saber, who looked like a petite girl, could freely use that big sword and fight like a real strength-based warrior.
Since she could use all her remaining magic power for close combat, she mobilized all the energy that could be used to " release magic power." This way, her strength and speed were almost 60% higher than usual. Each strike contained a sufficiently strong destructive force.
From the disadvantage of being forced to remove the armor to the advantage of abandoning the armor, this was the method she used to deal with the " Magic Breaking Spear."
" I admire your bravery and agility…"
Lancer was like a bullfighter in front of a bull. He moved his feet sideways as if he was challenging the bull.
"But now, I want to say that you've made a mistake, Saber.”
"Then give it a try. Wait until you eat my sword.”
Saber did not show any weakness. She rushed forward. Lance's spear could not exert any advantage there. If he could not keep up with Saber's speed, he would definitely die.
Staring at her opponent's footsteps, she calculated the timing. Lancer should be able to calculate her speed through her magic power, but she still had a plan…
A little, just a little, the lancer's footsteps slowed down. He stepped on a piece of ground made of sand, which should have been rolled up from the asphalt road. Lancer's legs sank into the sand and he stopped.
Saber did not intend to let him go. A violent explosion shook the air. The golden sword that was invisible before was now shining in the night sky.
This was the second effect of the Wind King Barrier. The moment the barrier was released, the wind would attack the enemy mercilessly like a weapon, but this was also an attack method that could only be used once.
This time, Saber used it as a secret weapon. He had swung his sword fiercely just to attack and speed up.
The air released from the golden sword pushed Saber behind her. Because she had used all her strength to " release magic power," her body had already turned into a supersonic cannonball.
Saber's speed was three times faster than usual. It was too late for regrets now. Even if Lancer would cause serious injuries to Saber, she was prepared to take his life at that moment. The high-speed dash that was several times faster than the sound wave broke the surrounding atmospheric wall, and the shock wave blew away the surrounding debris and leaves.
Lancer did not respond. It was as if he had given up on the attack. The red spear did not move at all.
But his legs moved.
In his highly focused consciousness, the time that was even shorter than an instant was extended infinitely.
At this moment, Saber noticed. He was the one who faked Lancer's flaw. He did not fall into the sandpit unintentionally, but stepped into it on purpose.
In other words, the position that could bring Lancer victory was the place where Lancer would throw the short gun.
"You miscalculated." Lancer's words surfaced in her mind.
She saw Lancer's confident smile. " This is your mistake." She saw these words in his eyes.
The lancer kicked the sand under his feet. However, it wasn't sand that flew into the air. It was the short gun that the lancer had thrown away. The blade was pointed in the direction Saber was flying towards. The talisman on the short spear had also been removed, and a golden body appeared under the talisman.
At this moment, Saber's innate sixth sense told her clearly that she was wrong.
She shouldn't have thought that a gun was a two-handed weapon. It was a trap. Was she not alert when she saw him waving a gun in each hand?
Perhaps, this was the correct way to use it for Lancer.
That servant might have been a heroic spirit who had been terrified by the mention of the two magic spears.
Moreover, it was absolutely not limited to just one Treasured Artifact.
She stared at the short spear and saw the strong magic power wrapped around the blade. She couldn't stop her actions and could only wait quietly for the moment when the sharp blade pierced her throat...
