Chapter 149: The Way of Knighthood
Thanks to Rider's miracle, the sea devil's huge body disappeared from the surface of the river without a trace, but even if they couldn't see it, the Servants and magicians present could clearly feel the monster's aura of rampage in the enchantment of another dimension.
"What should I do?"
To break the silence of the scene, Webb spoke.
"We can buy some time, but if we don't take the opportunity to think of a solution, it won't help. I said Einzbelen, don't you have any good ideas?"
"That's what I said..."
Before Alice Phil could finish her sentence, a light electronic sound suddenly came out of her arms out of place. She herself was startled and hurriedly took out the source of the sound.
This mobile phone was given to her by Kiritsugu just in case. It goes without saying who is calling. But according to the principle of predestination, it will not be used for contact. Coupled with the urgency of the situation, Alice Phil suddenly couldn't remember the method of using it that should have been memorized by heart.
"Well, how do I use this?"
She couldn't help but ask Webb, who was standing aside. Webb, who was angry because the conversation was interrupted, snatched the ringing phone from Alice Field's hand, and pressed the answer button to his ear. Although Weber was also a magician, he was not from a famous family, and he still had some experience in the use of these commonly used machines.
"Is it Ellie?"
A deep man's voice rang on the other end of the phone, and Webb panicked. Originally, it would have been good to return it to the owner after pressing the answer button, but he took it on a whim.
"No, I'm not. 」
"That's right. You're the Master of Rider. As it happens, I have something to say to you. 」
"Y-Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter. Your Servant made Caster disappear, right?"
"That's it. 」
"Then let me ask you, when Rider disables the inherent enchantment, can the contents fall to the designated place?"
Although I can't hear what the other party has in mind at all, in this situation where every second counts, it is a waste of time to ask any more questions. Webb replied cautiously as he recalled the basic rules of the inherent enchantment he had learned in the clock tower, taking into account the nature of the king's army that he had witnessed with his own eyes.
"Although there is a certain range, I think it is about 100 meters at most, but it should be feasible. After all, the dominance of reappearing on the outside is in the hands of Rider. 」
"Okay. I'll fire a flare in a moment, and you'll release Caster right below the signal, okay?"
The question was how to get in touch with Rider who was inside the enchantment, but he also said that he would leave a herald for himself. It seems that Rider is also aware of the need for joint action inside and outside the barrier.
"No problem, I think. Probably. 」
Anyway, who are you talking to? It must be someone from the Einsbellen camp, and from the tone of his voice, it looks like he is watching the movement here.
"One more thing. Help me tell Lancer who is there. Let's just say that Saber has a treasure on his left hand. 」
"Huh?"
Webb, who was getting more and more confused, couldn't help but ask rhetorically, but the other party had simply hung up the phone, leaving only a busy voice ringing emptyly.
"What's wrong?"
Lancer asked quizzedly, sensing Webb's meaningful gaze.
"The other party has something for me to convey to you, saying that Saber has a treasure on his left hand or something!!"
Lancer was stunned, and Saber was also embarrassed, and their expressions changed dramatically at the same time.
"Is he telling the truth? Saber. 」
Although the two people present tried their best to avoid this question, it was not a way to keep it secretive. Saber grimaced and nodded silently.
"Can that Noble Phantasm take down Caster's monster in a single blow?"
"Maybe, maybe. 」
Saber nodded again, staring directly at the Spear Spirit with a determined gaze, and continued.
"Lancer, the weight of my sword is the weight of my honor. The wounds I suffered in the battle with you are an honour to me, not a shackle. As you said in the forest, if this left hand can be exchanged for Dilumudo Odina's help, it will really be worth a thousand troops. 」
Even if you make Lancer feel guilty now, it won't help the situation. As a companion who shares the path of chivalry, Saber hopes that Lancer will be able to face his own fateful showdown without any worries.
Lancer didn't answer, as if he could see the sea devils fighting Rider's army in the far away barrier, just squinting at the river.
"Now, Saber. I can't forgive that Caster. 」
Although Lancer's words were staccato and his tone was very calm, there was a resolute determination in his beautiful, demonic eyes.
"He takes pride in making people despair and takes pleasure in spreading terror. I swore before I became a knight that I would never let evil run rampant!"
Lancer stuck the red gun in his right hand into the ground, holding the middle of the remaining yellow gun tightly with both hands. At this time, Saber, who immediately realized what this self-esteemed spear hero was going to do next, couldn't help but be dumbfounded in surprise and speechless.
"Lancer, don't do that!"
"Is it Saber or Lancer who must win now? no! Neither! What must be won now is the knighthood we all believe in, am I right? 」
Lancer smiled casually, and with a scream, he snapped one of his twin guns without hesitation.
The powerful curse power condensed in the perishable yellow rose turned into a whirlwind and burst out, scattering in the blink of an eye. If you consider that this is a legendary Noble Phantasm, its appearance when it disappears is too easy and too short.
Who would have thought that there would be a Servant self-destructing as a treasure weapon for victory? Not only Saber, but even Alice Fell and Webb were stunned by Lancer's actions, and were speechless for a while.
"Our desire for victory rests on the sword of the Knight King. Please, Saber. 」
A strong thought raced through Saber's chest, causing her left hand to clench into a fist. After being freed from the curse of the perishable Yellow Rose, the wound on the Knight King's hand healed immediately. She responded with passionate power, the silver wrist armor making a crisp sound, trembling slightly with excitement for the battle to come.
"I promise you, Lancer, that I will bring victory with this sword!"
The Wind King's barrier has been unlocked, and the golden sword has revealed its true form with the roaring storm. The glorious blade of the sword lit up the darkness around it as if it had been promised a victory oath.
"That's King Arthur's ......."
Seeing this noble treasure with his own eyes, Webb was stunned with amazement.
It was as if I had seen a ray of light in the long dark night, and the anxiety and anxiety that had been entrenched in my heart were swept away by this light.
"Yes, that's the ideal of a knight. 」
This is the crystallization of all the crystallization in the breasts of people who are still firmly eulogizing the dignity of human nature and disappearing in infinite brilliance despite being in the bloody battlefield and in the endless hell full of horror and despair full of death.
"We can win. 」
Alice Field's voice trembled slightly with joy, and she whispered selflessly.
"However, when Caster breaks away from the inherent barrier of the King of Conquest, he will surely discover the anomaly here......
"It's okay. 」
Lancer's worries were interrupted by Shirou, who nodded firmly as he stroked the wound on his left arm that had healed from the curse due to Lancer's damage to the Noble Phantasm.
"When that time comes, leave it to me!"
The crowd followed Shirou's gaze toward the river, where there was a path of hope made up of plural swords.
But an unpleasant, cursed roar resounded through the night sky as if it were a denial of hope, and it was none other than the roar of a mad jet engine.
Saber looked up and saw the embodiment of abomination in the air. The frenzied Heroic Spirit rode the Iron Bird, corrupted by the dark magic, and once again bared its hideous fangs to the Knight King.
Ahh
With Berserker's terrifying roar, flames erupted from the muzzles of the six-shot burst of the 20mm Balkan cannon.
