"You incompetent!

For the scolding of the dog's blood sprinkler, Lancer could only quietly hang his head and endure it silently. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's just for you to protect a woman for a while. You can't even do that, it's really unreasonable! You so-called knight is like that!"

Kenes was spitting and scolding, but in terms of embarrassment, Kenes was more embarrassed than Lancer, who was out of shame. Due to his naturally paranoid nature, Rhodes Elumeroi is now so angry that it is frightening to the point of righteous indignation.

Keneth receives a new spell and triumphantly returns to the abandoned factory where he is hiding, where he discovers that there is no trace of Sora. It stands to reason that she should have returned from the fight with Caster by this time. In the anxious and anxious waiting, he finally waited for Lancer, who returned alone with a heavy face.

"Although it's only a temporary replacement, there's no doubt that Sora is your master, isn't it! You don't have the ability to protect her to the end, what did you ask to be a servant! Why are you embarrassed to come back alone!"

“…… I really don't have the face to come back. ”

"So you--were driven by your stupid naivety in the battle with Caster, neglecting to protect your master, and bent on showing your stupid heroism?!"

Lancer shook his head feebly. His innate beauty was distorted by grief, which meant that he was also gritting his teeth for this hateful outcome. But Kenys now has no time to think about this.

"Allow me, master...... Because I didn't have a formal contract with My Highness Sora, and I couldn't even feel each other's breath......"

"That's why you shouldn't have paid more attention to it!"

Kenes immediately snapped and interrupted the servant's defense.

Generally speaking, the master and servant who have concluded the contract, no matter which one is in crisis, will communicate it to the other through the breath. In fact, in the Einzbelen Forest, it was in this way that Lancer rescued Kenes at the last moment.

However, this time, since Lancer and Sora did not conclude a formal contract according to the rules of contract magic, they entered the battle. The lancer only protects Sola out of his duty to Keneth, which becomes a source of disaster.

As a result, by the time the Lancer returned to the roof of the Winterwood Center building after the battle, Sora's figure, who had been there, was long gone, and only the blood splattered on the ground showed the seriousness of the matter.

The only thing that is certain is that Sora is alive. The magical supply that keeps Lancer in this world and energizes his actions still flows unimpeded into his body. There was no doubt that she had been kidnapped, but it seemed that the perpetrators did not intend to kill her.

If it were another servant, perhaps she could sense her general location through the way of mana supply. Unfortunately, due to the fact that the lancer has entered into an irregular contract - the contractor and the mana provider are two different people, the perception of the mana provider is obviously very weak. Even if he could surmise that Sora was still alive, he couldn't sense where the magic came from. Searching for Sola in Xindu without any clues is like looking for a needle in a haystack. In the end, he had to come back alone.

"Ahh......h Sure enough, I shouldn't have given her the spell...... The magic battle was too much for her......"

"I am also responsible for not dissuading His Highness Sora. But the reason why Her Highness Sola is so decisive is because she hopes that Your Highness Kenes will be able to regain her strength. In that case, please must-"

Kenays raised his eyes, clouded by jealousy, and stared at Lancer.

"You're embarrassed to say something like that. Don't play dumb, lancer, you must have egged on Sora. ”

"You...... Why do you conclude that ......"

"Hmph, what are you pretending to be! You like women, and the story of being an adulterer is also quite famous in legends. For the master's fiancée, you can't help but want to hook up, right?"

Lancer, who knelt on the ground with his head bowed, his shoulders trembling violently, even to the point of danger.

"—My lord, I beg you to take it back in any case. ”

"Hmph, have you touched your sore spot? Can't you stand this anger? So you're going to show me your true face as vicious?"

Kenes continued to laugh at the Heroic Spirit, who could not contain his emotions.

"You're finally showing your feet. While swearing to be loyal to me forever and saying beautiful things, he betrayed me because of the ****. You've been talking about the so-called knighthood with a proud expression, do you think you can confuse me Keneth with that?"

"His Highness Kenes...... You—why don't you understand my faithfulness?!"

Lancer choked up and uttered a somewhat trembling question, almost close to crying.

"I just want to defend my usual honor! I just want to join you in a glorious battle!Master, why don't you understand the heart of a knight?!"

"Don't say such arrogant things, servant!"

Kenes relentlessly shouted at Lancer's crying, looking callous. For his servant's doubts and dissatisfaction, his heart has exceeded the boiling point at this time.

"A puppet who can't do anything. You're just a servant anyway. You are just a shadow of the real world by magic! Your so-called honor and pride are at best a trick by the soul to deceive the world. What's more, you are so arrogant that you want to preach to your master, and you have to have a limit if you don't measure your strength!"

“――”

Since Kenes had gone too far, Lancer had nothing to say. Kenes looked at him and secretly felt a sadistic pleasure in his heart. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he held out his right hand, which had been engraved with the spell again, in front of Lancer, and the magician laughed proudly.

"If you're not willing, then use your so-called pride and honor to fight my spell - hmph, can't beat it? Your so-called courage and reserve are simply not worth mentioning in front of the spell. That's the real trick of a puppet like Servant. ”

“…… Kenays...... Your Highness ......"

Lancer hung his head feebly in the face of Kenays, who was laughing loudly, unable to make any rebuttal. The domineering spirit that once danced in front of the group of heroes has long disappeared without a trace, whether it is from the shoulders that hang down weakly, or from the sloppy eyes staring at the floor, there is no trace of heroism at all.

Seeing his miserable appearance, Kenes finally felt a little relieved to vent the resentment that had been accumulating.

Perhaps it was only now that Keneth was finally able to establish an ideal master-slave relationship with this Heroic Spirit. It's a bit late, but if you can deal with this lancer earlier, it's better to blow his ego so thoroughly as soon as it's summoned. If he had done so, this self-righteous servant would not have had two hearts and would have served himself obediently.

"--Master. ”

After a long silence, Lancer suddenly called out to Kenes in a cold voice.

"What's the matter? Do you have anything else to say?"

“…… That's not what it means. It was as if something was approaching us. Presumably the sound of an engine with an automatic drive. ”

Kenys didn't hear anything, though. However, the hearing of ordinary people is far from being comparable to that of the servant.

As dawn approaches, it is absolutely impossible for a vehicle coming towards this abandoned factory to just pass by.

When you think about it, when you decide to use this place as a base, it's almost time for the camouflage barrier you have imposed around you to reveal its flaws...... Kenes laughed at himself as he was no longer a magician, and a dry smile appeared.

"Lancer, strike at it and defeat it. Don't show mercy. ”

"Understood. ”

Lancer nodded, and immediately became a spirit and disappeared.

Following the instructions of Alice Phil, who was sitting in the passenger seat, the Mercedes-Benz 300SL driven by Saber gradually left the XD area and headed east, into a deserted area.

"If you go straight along this road, you will see an abandoned factory on the left-hand side. There...... It seems to be the lancer's stronghold. ”

The location of the factory and the order of the road are all things that Kiritsugu just told Alice Phil on his mobile phone.

After the fierce battle in Weiyuanchuan, it can be guessed that Lancer, who left the battlefield without saying a word, probably returned to the master's side. Hearing Kiritsugu say that he had a report of Lancer's whereabouts, Saber advocated immediate action.

"Then again...... Isn't it okay to fight continuously?"

"No problem, Alice Field. I'd love to face off against Lancer tonight. ”

After the awe-inspiring declaration of righteousness, this time it was Saber's turn to glance worriedly at the passenger seat.

"You're all right, Alice Field, are you? ”

Saber looked at Alice Phil next to him while steering the steering wheel. Saber saw at a glance that Alice Field's face was pale and bloodless, and she was frequently wiping the cold sweat from her forehead. It's been like this since I left the river. Although she is trying to hide it, others can see at a glance that she is forcing herself.

“…… Don't care. saber。 As long as you're next to me......

Ah, look. That building. That's probably it. ”

A long time ago, when the Shinto area did not have a blueprint for a new residential town, it was probably a place like the Shoja Institute. The place, abandoned by the wave of development and forgotten by the new bustling streets, stands quietly in the heart of a small hill overgrown with lush dogtail grass.

Slowly passing through the open gate into the clearing, Saber turned off the car's engine. There was silence all around, and Alice Field, who was standing outside the car, cautiously watched the surroundings before nodding.

"-There are indeed traces of a magic enchantment. But the strange thing is that it seems that it has not been carefully managed, and it has begun to show flaws. ”

"No, this is the place. Alice Field. ”

Saber, who got out of the car later, asserted with a calm expression. This skilled swordsman must have already smelled the breath of the decisive battle through his keen intuition.

Sure enough, as if to validate Saber's declaration, a handsome figure with a spear suddenly appeared in front of the silent ruins.

"It's not easy for you to find this place, Saber. ”

"My partner told me after investigating that this is your stronghold. ”

The fact that he almost blurted out the word master and didn't say the word master shows a subtle fluctuation in feelings that even Saber himself is not aware of. Of course, in principle, it is to cover up the truth about who is her real master. However, the most fundamental reason is that she subconsciously doesn't want to admit that Kiritsugu is her master.

Lancer's expression was heavy, unusual, and he hesitated for a long time as if he were picking words out of his head before he asked the visitor a question.

"Where is my master's fiancée now?...... Saber, you're not going to say you don't know, are you?"

Saber and Alice Phil both looked at each other with confused expressions.

"I don't know—what's going on?"

"It's fine. You didn't think I asked. ”

Lancer let out a long sigh, the reassurance that far outweighed the disappointment. He wasn't going to ask Saber that question. If his rival took such a despicable trick as taking hostages, the lancer would hate it just by imagining it.

"--Anyway, Saber, are you alright? I don't think you're here to make small talk with me, are you? But didn't you expend a lot of stamina in the battle against the caster?"

"On that note, I'm like the rest of the servants. ”

Saber casually brushed it off. Indeed, as she said, in the previous battles on the banks of the river, each servant had consumed a lot of mana.

"So I don't think anyone will be on the offensive tonight, but on the defensive - that's why tonight's duel won't have to worry about unrelated people stepping in. ”

Saber's whole body overflowed with calm vindictiveness, and he took a step forward. The slender and short body gave people a sense of majesty, and this momentum was accompanied by dazzling magic and turned into brilliant armor that enveloped her whole body.

"It's almost dawn...... There is still a little time in the evening, and if we miss this great opportunity, I don't know when we will have another chance to fight like this without any worries. I don't think it's time to miss this opportunity - what do you think?lancer. ”

Lancer, who had lost his usual handsome expression because of his inner worries, finally showed a smile at this time.

“saber…… Now the only one who can blow a refreshing and cool breeze in my heart is your fighting spirit without any distractions. ”

In fact, Saber was also secretly surprised in his heart just now why Lancer had lost his former domineering. It wasn't until I saw his smile that I realized that my worries were unfounded. A man with such a smile really doesn't need any worries and worries. That kind of smile can only be possessed by someone who transcends all difficulties and always stands for what he believes in.

As if trying to drive away all the sorrow and lamentation in his heart, Lancer brandished a red spear with the tip pointed at Saber.

Saber also unlocked the Wind King's barrier, revealing the golden sword in the center of the whirlwind. In front of Dilumudo's "Red Rose of Demon Breaking", there was no point in using air pressure to conceal the sword body.

And most importantly, this fierce rival who had met by chance in this world in different planes and planes, the Knight King was convinced that he was a heroic spirit who was worthy to receive the light of his sword that had all its glory in one.

The morning light is faint, and the sky is reddish. In the fresh air, the two servants concentrated all their fighting energy and attacked silently and nervously. If you are a person with particularly sensitive senses, just standing in the middle of the whirlpool of the fighting spirit of the two people will feel as if you have been hit, and maybe even cause heart paralysis. (Anyway, how did I think of the legendary pamphlet Crusoe in the World, aka memoirs of an apple lover...... ）

The cells in Alice Field's whole body trembled at the premonition of killing, not to mention the breath, but even the blood veins were stagnant.

Then, the two sides took a step forward at the same time, with a momentum like a rainbow and a cracked voice.

The two heroes, who had not had a chance to fight for three days, finally had a chance to fight each other today, and the fierce battle was staged again.

Tonight's battle was, on the one hand, a repetition of the duel that had been fought in the previous night's confrontation on Warehouse Street, but the battle between the two men was more intense than the first one—more violent, more direct, more poignant, a head-on clash of forces.

The two no longer test each other, nor do they use tricks to confuse their opponents. Lancer's gun had only one shot from the start, and Saber's sword was completely exposed. Neither used the tricks of intrigue and tricks. Faster, more dignified. When one side casts a move, the other team immediately goes all out to perform a counterattack that can override the move. It is purely a contest of technology, and the edge of the sword and the tip of the gun are opposed, which is more intense and white-hot.

The sword and the magic spear are entwined,-for-tat, and the sparks that burst out are simply dazzling. Legendary treasures driven by strength and speed far higher than human beings, clash with each other to break through the speed of sound and approach the speed of light, and observation has lost its meaning, and the divine skills that have reached the limit at this moment of fierce battle are engaged in a transcendent contest between each other.

I don't know how many rounds have been fought, maybe dozens, maybe hundreds. It's stupid and can't be judged with the naked eye. After the two men intersected with their guns and swords, they finally separated their bodies and opened up a distance.
