It's night.

The Minato district of Higashiki City is quiet, and the incandescent street lamps tear through the night and light up the dim world.

In the sound of the waves, the soldiers with two guns stood alone. His awe-inspiring fighting spirit should be as dazzling as a lighthouse in the 'eyes' of the heroes.

"Do you want to fight like that, Lancer. ”

In response to this challenge, the girl from the job agency Saber stepped forward. Crossing the border of darkness, she put on her armor and grasped the invisible greatsword, appearing with her white-clad Master.

"This feeling...... You're Saber. ”

A well-proportioned body, a dark green bodysuit, a handsome and shining face, and that demonic tear mole.

The spearman with short wavy hair looked at the girl's figure with a smile on his face.

"Feel my vindictiveness, but still choose to go head-to-head - I see, you are a brave warrior, Saber. ”

"It's the same with you, I didn't expect to meet someone like you in the Holy Grail War. In a sense, this is really lucky. ”

Being able to introduce each other before the battle is like going back to an ancient battlefield. This feeling made Saber feel reassured and even put a smile on her face.

"Each other, each other. ”

"But the gunners. Isn't that commendable for using seductive magic on women?"

But if you look closely, the tear mole on the gunman's face is actually unusual.

It's just a tear mole, but it greatly increases the charm value of the spearman. Not only Alice Phil behind her, but even Saber herself felt the impact.

Although the impact is not high, it is only because Saber and Alice Fell are resistant to magic - if it were not for the heroic spirit and android, the average woman would never be able to resist the magic of this tear mole. Not to mention fighting, I'm afraid I'll be seduced when I see each other for the first time, right?

"I'm sorry, it's a curse I was born with. Even if I don't have anything I can do, if I accidentally get hit, just complain about my gender. ”

"Really, don't expect mercy from my men. ”

"Of course. ”

If it was a despicable villain, Saber would have slashed it with a sword at this moment. But Lancer is not that kind of person.

can unleash such a fighting spirit, can call the opponent with such courage, such an upright hero will not use such inferior tricks.

But even then, the pre-war conversation ended there.

Saber raised the invisible sword, a near-transparent smile on his face.

"So, here I am, lancer. ”

Words are meaningless, and the warriors converse with swords.

Lancer could understand the smile: a warrior who went in and out of the battlefield and used his life as a bargaining chip. He knew the fierceness and murderous intent in that smile.

"Come on, Saber. ”

Open your arms and hold your guns high. Lancer's voice resounded in all directions.

"Alice Phil, then, please step back a bit. ”

"I get Saber...... Please be careful. ”

"Don't worry. ”

Then in the next second, the atmosphere exploded and the earth shattered. The heroic spirits of the spear and the sword collided in a high-pitched roar of metal.

The wind pressure is released in an instant, and it can flow through the steel.

Like a press grinding over each other, the battle between Lancer and Saber tore apart the air. The wind caused by the vacuum effect was mixed with the roar of steel vibration.

There was no figure in sight, and only a blurry patch of color was left in front of Alice Phil's eyes.

Indescribable, indescribable.

Battles that transcend common sense are just a vortex of destruction, and the sight of the return of myth is anything but romantic. Instead, it is full of horror.

“……”

Is this the battle of the gods?

Alice Phil was in awe from the bottom of her heart, and although she had guessed before, she didn't understand the horror until she saw it with her own eyes.

Heroic spirits are not human, they transcend humans.

Realizing this, it only took Alice Phil a second.

Originally, she wanted to support Saber and fight alongside the knights, but only now did she realize the difference between the two of them—the difference between a human and an ant.

"It's really a gorgeous gunfight, your Excellency must not be an unknown person, right?"

After another exchange, the two Heroic Spirits regained their distance.

Rearing up, Saber smiled excitedly as she adjusted her sword grip.

That's what it means to be aroused by the battle and start to get serious. It represents the young girl known as King Arthur, who is about to show her most powerful side.

And on the other side of her, the two-gun hero was undoubtedly the same.

Turning his guns flexibly, he smiled heartily and responded to Saber's question.

"Your Excellency, too, although I don't want to boast, I'm still very confident in my twin guns. You won't be left behind in the battle with me...... I see, you're a great person, too. ”

Should it be said that they are touting each other?

No, both Saber and Lancer are complimenting from the heart.

As Lancer says, they have a deep awareness of their own strength - and it is because they know how they differ from mortals that they are self-conscious.

It is the dignity of the strong not to swing the sword at the weak, but if the opponent is on the same level as himself, then there is no need for unnecessary 'mercy'.

Just let it go, that's it.

"So lancer, don't die easily. ”

"It's the same here, Saber, that invisible sword is a real nuisance. Let me uncover it for what it really is!"

As mentioned earlier, the Lancer has two spears, one long and one short. They were all wrapped in strips of cloth, and it was impossible to see their original faces.

But now, with Lancer's resolution, the strips of cloth on that spear had been loosened. The blood-red body of the spear underneath it was revealed.

"I'm coming, Saber. ”

"Come on, lancer. ”

In the next second, the deathmatch between the Heroic Spirits began again. It was even more intense than the last time - just one hand-to-hand fight, and the terrible wind pressure began to soar in the atmosphere.

"What——!?"

But that's not right.

At Saber's scream, Alice Fell noticed something unusual.

In the midst of the almost thick storm, Saber's sword appeared for a moment—glowing with magical light, and the holy sword tore through the darkness in that instant.

Yes, exactly.

The power of the intersection of swords and halberds is terrifying, but there shouldn't be so many storms.

The wind that blew from the place where the two men were engaged was not from the howl of the atmosphere, but from Saber's treasure.

Wind King Enchantment - The Noble Phantasm that hides the Sword of Victory by binding the Tempest. Destroyed by the lancer with a vermilion gun.

"I see, I'll understand it when I see it with my own eyes!saber!!"

Lancer's laughter suddenly turned dangerous. The action of the attack has also become more wild - after finally witnessing the opponent's weapon and mastering the enemy's 'attack range'. The martial arts warrior showed his desire to attack.

Relying on the advantage of two guns, he constantly launched onslaught on Saber. Saber, on the other hand, was overwhelmed by the momentary consternation and fell into a negative battle situation.

What happened? Saber didn't understand at all.

But that's okay! At least Saber still understands the spear. Despite its advantage in range, the spear is a weapon that can only deal damage with a thrust - although there are uses such as swinging, but that is certainly not the right way.

And because of this, as long as you grasp the angle of the stab when facing the spear, then the armor can solve the problem later.

It's unclear how the opponent used to break the Wind King's enchantment, but it's nothing more than some secret method for hidden things, right? Saber had heard of something like this before, so it didn't bother her more.

'This is an opportunity!'

Thinking so, Saber caught up with the red gun. She cleverly adjusted the angle of the blow, intending to stab the red spear in his right shoulder and slide it down the smooth curved surface.

At the same time, she could wield the great sword that had just parried the short spear. A blow splits Lancer's neck.

However, the plan failed from the start.

The vermilion blade advanced with Lancer's smile, as if it were cutting cream with a hot knife, piercing through the armor and into Saber's right shoulder without hindrance.

Blood and pain came from there, but more than that, consternation and shame.

“！？”

had to retreat in an embarrassed posture, barely dodging the pursuit of the short gun.

But the side kick that followed couldn't be countered - Saber could only suffer in embarrassment and be blown away by the kick.

"Goo ——!!"

Lancer didn't pursue, but the scales of victory and defeat were tilted at this moment.

At the moment of being stabbed by the blade of the gun, countless analyses were left in Saber's mind, and finally, it was stopped at a chilling conjecture.

"Lancer, your gun......"

"That's right, exactly, Saber. This red spear has the effect of cutting off the magic power, so whether it's a trick to hide the sword or the armor on your body, as long as it's a creation of magic, it's nothing to this red gun. Do you understand what that means?"

Of course.

How can you not understand this?

Lancer's eyes were clear: "You're naked in front of this spear."

“……”

"Why, Saber, if you don't dare to move, I'm going to attack. ”

"What a joke!"

But Lancer wasn't kidding.

Just when Saber felt a headache, the Heroic Spirit of the Two Spears had already stepped forward. The initiative launched an offensive.

The scarlet spear left a dazzling trail in the night sky. At the last moment, Saber had to make a change.

“！”

Since you can't defend it, there's no need to defend it. Lift the armor woven by magic and dissipate the hurricane that entangles the sacred sword. Thanks to the reduced weight, Saber achieves better speed.

Wielding her true sword, she swept away Lancer's gunfire before heading on.

There is no doubt that it was a flash of inspiration for Saber. Filled her heart with accomplishments.

"Ha ——!"

However, when her gaze met Lancer's, her heartbeat froze instantly.

'Oh no!'

Lancer's eyes didn't contain even half a bit of surprise. His eyes were very proud, as if he was watching a prey that had been caught.

Why?

How so?

Could it be ——!?

At the last moment, Saber finally remembered something.

In a world that seemed to slow down, her gaze was struggling to turn.

Finally, she saw what she had missed—the yellow gun that had broken free and was tearing apart the night sky.
