Chapter 42: Change

LANCER IS IN THE MIDDLE OF A BATTLE WITH SABER, AND LANCER IS NOT AN INVINCIBLE OPPONENT FOR SABER WHO HAS ONLY RECENTLY SOLVED THE MANA SUPPLY PROBLEM, BUT DESPITE THIS, SHE HAS NOT SPARED ANY SPARE TIME - AFTER ALL, EVEN IN SUCH A SITUATION THAT IS NOT IN HER FAVOR, LANCER WHO HAS BLOCKED EVERYTHING AND LAUNCHED ATTACKS IS NOT A MISCELLANEOUS SOLDIER TO BE IGNORED.

HOWEVER, EVEN AT THIS MOMENT WHEN HER OWN MASTER HAD ALREADY BEEN ATTACKED ENOUGH TO BE DEADLY, SABER STILL DID NOT HESITATE TO FIGHT, AND EVEN THE FEAR THAT LANCER EXPECTED DID NOT EXIST, AS IF THE MASTER WHO WAS UNDER ATTACK FROM ANOTHER SERVENT BEHIND HER WAS NOT HER OWN MASTER. THE INVISIBLE LONGSWORD IN HER HAND WAS STILL CONTINUOUSLY CONSTRUCTED INTO A GORGEOUS SWORD DANCE, AND THIS DANCE WITH THE COLD AURA OF STEEL FORCED LANCER TO MAKE AN URGENT RETREAT - BECAUSE AT THE MOMENT WHEN THE EXPLOSION SOUNDED, EVEN HE WAS A LITTLE DISTRACTED.

"HA, WHAT A TERRIBLE SABER, EVEN THE MASTER WHO HAS BEEN ATTACKED BY HIMSELF DOESN'T CARE ABOUT IT, AND IS STILL OBSESSED WITH THE ENEMY IN FRONT OF HIM?" If you're out for that reason, it's going to be boring!"

"BOTHER, LANCER. HOLDING THE HILT OF THE SWORD WITH BOTH HANDS, THE BLADE WAS PLACED ON THE SIDE OF HIS FACE, AND SABER, WHO WAS MUCH YOUNGER THAN THE LANCER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RIVER, WAS UNASSUMING, AND HE COULD ALREADY BE CALLED A CALM TONE ON THIS BATTLEFIELD, "BUT NONE OF THE PEOPLE PRESENT ARE BRAVE AND UNSCRUPULOUS, AND YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE THE SITUATION BEHIND ME MORE CLEARLY THAN ME." Standing beside the two MASTERS was not a man like us who was good at conquering, but what a defender the shield bearer was standing in front of everyone. ”

INDEED, THERE IS NO NEED TO EVEN LOOK FOR IT WITH HIS OWN EYES, LANCER ALSO KNOWS THAT THE OPPONENT'S MASTER WILL NEVER RECEIVE ANY DAMAGE, ALTHOUGH HE HAS NOT FOUGHT EXACTLY, AND HE DOES NOT INTEND TO FIGHT THE OTHER PARTY, BUT WHETHER IT IS FROM THE SEVERAL BATTLES THAT HAVE LONG ENDED, OR FROM THE MOUTH OF HIS SO-CALLED MASTER, OR EVEN FROM THE MOUTH OF THAT DISGUSTING GUY, RIDER'S NAME IS NOT THE FIRST TIME HE HAS HEARD OF IT- Although the offensive aspect is still unknown, in terms of defense, the man who is waiting there has long been a fearless fortress.

"YES, WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, IF YOU DON'T ATTACK AGAIN, THEN I'LL ATTACK YOU!" SABER SHOUTED, AND BEFORE HER VOICE COULD EVEN COMPLETELY DISAPPEAR, HER ATTACK HAD ALREADY REACHED LANCER'S BODY.

"Whew!" a sharp metallic sound sounded in the open space, and sparks splashed on the two of them, but they couldn't make their brows furrow slightly. FED SABER'S ATTACK, LANCER GRINNED INDIFFERENTLY, AND THERE WAS NO OTHER EMOTION ON HIS FACE - WITH A SLIGHTLY HIDEOUS SMILE, HE EXPRESSED HIS EMOTIONS, "HA, SABER, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? IT WAS JUST A LITTLE INTERMISSION FOR YOU, DON'T BE ARROGANT!

Guns and swords clashed, countless sparks swept through the nearby clearing with a storm, and some of the remaining dead grass was ignited by the sparks, but was blown out by the ensuing storm. NOT FAR AWAY, ARCHER WAS STANDING ON THE ROOF OF THE HOUSE LOOKING DOWN AT ZHAO MIAN AND THE TWO MASTERS NOT FAR AWAY, AND IN HIS HANDS, THE BLACK AND WHITE SHORT BLADES REFLECTED THE LIGHT OF THE MOONLIGHT.

"ARCHER, DO YOU JUST WANT TO KILL SHIROU?" DODGED BACK SLIGHTLY, LETTING A LITTLE SPARK DRIFT IN THE AIR, THE STORM BLEW HER HAIR, AND TOSAKA STARED AT ARCHER ON THE ROOF AND ASKED LOUDLY, "......DO YOU WANT TO DO THAT?"

"...... 'is it wrong'?" DIDN'T WAIT FOR TOSAKA'S WORDS TO FINISH, AS IF PRESCIENTLY, ARCHER PICKED UP TOSAKA'S WORDS, AND IN THE NIGHT, THE FIGURE STANDING ON THE ROOF WAS STILL AS TALL AS BEFORE, AND A SMILE THAT SEEMED TO LAUGH AT HIMSELF QUIETLY DISAPPEARED AT THE CORNER OF HIS MOUTH, "YOU REALLY FOUND OUT, RIN." ”

"How could I not have found ......out! It's obviously the only thing in this world, but Shirou is still in his hands, but you-" As he spoke, Tosaka, who was still full of spirit just now, lowered his head, and even the iconic double ponytail seemed to hang down, "...... Is that how you want to kill yourself? ”

No, if the news had come earlier, it might have been able to have that effect, but at this juncture. Perhaps the only guy who was surprised by such a news was only one person left. LANCER AND SABER ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BATTLE, AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE AND IMPOSSIBLE TO PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT IS GOING ON HERE, TOSAKA IS THE ONE WHO REVEALED, SHE HAS LONG KNOWN SUCH NEWS, ZHAO MIAN-

"I thought about it, but I didn't expect it to come true. Zhao Mian sighed slightly, the voice was quickly muffled in this battle occasion, through the helmet, Zhao Mian stared closely at the figure on the roof, "However, your wish is wrong, if this is your wish, then from the beginning, what you hoped for could not become a reality." You want to kill your past self, but you can never kill yourself. ”

"If you don't try, how can you know that it won't work. NARROWING HIS EYES SLIGHTLY, ARCHER SAID, "I TRIED A LOT OF METHODS, BUT THIS IS THE ONLY ONE LEFT." ”

“…… Why?" Emiya, who had been immersed in his own thoughts, raised his head suddenly, staring at Archer on the roof, his gaze was full of puzzlement and indignation, "If you are really me, then you have already fulfilled your wish and become a heroic spirit to save others, why should you kill your past self?

"Ah, indeed, I became the Heroic Spirit of my dreams, I saved many people, and prevented a crisis that would destroy the world. But," ARCHER JUMPED DOWN AND STOOD NOT FAR IN FRONT OF ZHAO MIAN, HE STILL SEEMED TO HAVE THAT HINT OF SELF-DEPRECATING SMILE, BUT FROM HIS EYES, ZHAO MIAN COULDN'T SEE ANY SMILE, ONLY THE END HE WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO, "BUT AH, AT THE END OF THAT IDEAL, ALL I get is regret for nothing." All I could get was death. In order to save more human beings, I kept killing, killing, killing! Ha, because that was my ideal, and in order to carry it out, I killed many people -- old people, children, young couples, middle-aged employees, so many different people. Then, I saved people who were thousands of times above that number. Quietly narrating, Emiya seemed to be shocked by these words, his eyes widened, but he opened his mouth speechlessly, "Ah, how long have you been struggling in such a cycle, heh, I can't remember it for a long time." There's no way I'm going to get out of this cycle, but there's one exception to that—yes, that's—"

"Kill yourself who hasn't become a Heroic Spirit yet—is that so?" Zhao Mian continued, shaking his head a little helplessly, "ARE YOU SICK IN THE SECOND MIDDLE SCHOOL?" Or have you never heard of the Time Paradox? ”

"Oh, it's useless to talk too much, but practice brings true knowledge. ARCHER TOOK AN OFFENSIVE STANCE, HIS LEGS FIRMLY GRIPPING THE GROUND, AND THEN HE CHARGED, "ONLY IF YOU TRY IT, YOU WILL KNOW IF IT WILL COME TRUE!"
