Chapter 13: The Prologue to the Duel

The pleasant time passed very quickly, and after the rest, finally, ushered in the last battle of the Holy Grail War.

Strictly speaking, this is not a battle anymore.

Because neither side of the warring has a reason to annihilate each other, they are only fighting for the Holy Grail with the enthusiasm of the Holy Grail War, not for the Holy Grail.

Saber didn't want to leave like that.

Archer is thinking the same thing.

Even if it is a fictional heroic spirit, but at this moment, he is an absolutely real existence.

In order to live up to your [now].

The two of them made an appointment to fight in the forest area on the edge of the city.

Now that martial law has been imposed here, a large area of the mountain forest burned by Surut has become evidence that scientists are investigating this paranormal phenomenon.

"Are you ready?" Archer. ”

Ber Artoria adjusted herself, silver armor draped over her blue gown, her hands clenched as if she were clutching some weapon.

And across from her is a combination of Archer and Tsukahara Mingshi.

The two groups were separated by about thirty meters, which was a step away for Saber. The steel boots take a step forward to quickly send Saber to the Archer.

Although the forest terrain is advantageous for Archer, unfortunately, it is probably not a very pleasant thing for her master. Tsukahara Mingshi is also very aware of this, and his advantage is not in battle, but outside of battle.

Saber and Archer don't have Tsukahara Mingshi as a combat power.,Humans and servants fight against something.,It's only possible to be an incomparably good human.,Tsukahara Mingshi isn't enough for this level.。

"Ah, whatever you want. ”

Lohia picked up Leonardo da Vinci's legacy, draped over her heavy dark green robe, hooded over her head, and shrouded her half in the color of the forest.

It's a pity that because the firearm in her hand is too abrupt, the spy skill that should be comparable to the breath blocking can't play the effect it should have.

Technology and pristine nature are difficult to reconcile.

"Remember, Master, I told you, right? Victory or not, I'll leave it to you. My abilities as a servant are far inferior to Saber's, so you are the only one who can win. Don't worry, the Knight King is a very prestigious existence, and she will not come to kill you, so I will be dragged down by Saber, and you are the only one who can lead me to victory. ”

β€œarcher…… I, I understand. ”

For the last time, the two made a simple pre-war summary. No amount of light-hearted daily time can change the fact that the two Heroic Spirits must have a battle in the end.

Although there are also practices that allow Lohiya to lose deliberately, it ...... Tsukahara didn't want to do that. In that case, it would be tantamount to smearing the existence of Lohia and her beliefs with a dirty stain, and she must not agree to it.

She is an excellent heroic spirit, even if it is false, Tsukahara Mingshi definitely does not want to destroy her dignity as a heroic spirit.

It was Shirou who gave the order. He coughed lightly and said, "Begin!"

It's like a sports day.

It's a pity that the battle itself is not so easy!

It's fast.

Saber stepped on the shattered earth and pounced towards the combination of the two!Generally speaking, it should be Archer who fled with Tsukahara Mingshi, however, the two ran in a panic and ran in a different direction!

Rumble.

Saber struck the earth with one blow!

In mid-air, it is difficult for even the Heroic Spirit to move freely, and the first thing to consider against a long-distance Heroic Spirit like Archer is how to make his speed rush up and let Lohia attack as little as possible.

The two know each other's Noble Phantasm, Saber knows very well that Lohia's Noble Phantasm has the mysterious property of hitting the previous blow with the second blow, and Lohia also understands that if he and the Lord are not together, then Saber can use the Holy Sword without reservation to unleash ultra-wide area attacks. Both men knew each other and chose what they thought was the most appropriate way to fight.

Saber stepped down, silver armor stepped on the ground, and was about to use his strength to turn, continue to assault, reflexively assault at Lohia's, the result ......

So soft?!

Before she could borrow the power of the earth, there was a soft touch under her feet, and the dirt suddenly stuck to her feet?!

It was nothing to struggle out, but, because of this, she didn't have enough strength to rush out...... The body is so sluggish......

Bang.

In the forest, the gunfire of Lohia was particularly noisy.

The blue and white beams of light came with a scorching temperature!

"I see, is that what you mean by master's support?"

Saber didn't dare to make a hard connection, erected the holy sword, used the broad blade as armor, intercepted a blow from Lohia, pulled out his foot, moved a step sideways, and continued to rush forward.

Are the Masters and Heroic Spirits fighting side by side? Good, good!

Saber blessed them, and during the Fourth and Fifth Holy Grail Wars, she had seen instances where the Master and the Servant were completely incompatible, resulting in deadly tragedies. Lumudo is one of the most tragic examples.

Therefore, when Saber sees that the master and the servant are in good condition, he can't help but bless them and be truly happy for them. That's why she always felt that it was a shame that she didn't fight Leonidas.

There are so many unsolved mysteries about Archer's firearm that Saber wouldn't dare use her magic to attack her.

Taking advantage of the blow just now, Lohia's whole person was hidden in the forest and couldn't see it really.

Although Tsukahara can be found, Saber has promised not to attack him.

"Huh...... Archer, this start, even if you have the upper hand...... But...... You don't think I'm the kind of person you're going to be able to sneak up on casually, do you?"

Saber smiled confidently, sword in both hands, eyes closed, and relied on his instincts with all his might.

Of course, Saber didn't know that the place she stepped on just now was the place she had taken with her when she ran away with Mina Tosaka and Tsukahara Mingshi.

There used to be a runaway demon worm in Kiri, churning beneath the earth, searching for everyone.

Understand that even a magical creature can't completely shield itself from modern physical attributes, and it will inevitably dig the hard ground soft, similar to an earthworm.

While he was talking, Tsukahara Mingshi quietly used the magic of flowing water to soak the soil under his feet! If he died somewhere else, it might be obvious, but this is a forest, the light and shadow are mottled, the color of the soil is difficult to distinguish, and with the cover of leaves, it is difficult to find such small details!

The soft soil was eroded by the flowing water, and it immediately turned into mud!

Although magic doesn't do much damage to Saber's A-rank mana, if that's the case, it's not the same if the terrain is modified to cause a secondary obstruction.

Tsukahara Mingshi's magic is different from the others, and it is a combat method that directly injects magic into the playing cards engraved with magic circuits in order to bypass the chanting spell.

Although it has many flaws such as small amount and insufficient strength, it also has a stealth that is difficult for enemies to detect, and [the characteristics of separating the user from the magic]. Tsukahara Mingshi actually dug a hole in the ground before this, buried his poker in it, and activated it by transmitting magic to the earth with his feet, although he himself escaped, but the magic still works in the local area!

Saber is now out of target for Archer and can only wait for her to attack.

She had also heard the legend of Robin Hood, a heroic man who was entrenched in the Sherwood Forest and mastered guerrilla warfare. If you scurry around in the forest like a headless fly, you are likely to fall for it. Judging by that blow just now, Archer must have prepared a trap here in advance.

Suddenly, there was a signal of crisis behind me!

"Here!"

The holy blue eyes opened, and under the sharp gaze, the Knight King took a step forward, holding the sword in one hand, bypassing his head and intercepting it behind his back!

Laugh at!

The blade blocked Lohia's attack, and she turned back, searching for the location of the attack behind her......

However......

No one!

In front of Saber, there is no one!

There was only a half-melted block of ice, and a translucent crystal poker inside!

It's an ice mirror!

At the beginning, Tsukahara Mingshi used to pit the magic of those two seniors when he was in the clock tower, but I didn't expect it to be reproduced here!

The Archer's weapon is a beam weapon that can be reflected if calculated properly. Although it will absorb a large amount of aftermath, as long as it hits, it will cause a [non-healing] wound, so it is also an option to accumulate small wounds and drag down Saber rather than killing with one hit.

Although it is shameless, it is also a [normal tactic]. Saber not only didn't feel despicable, but was secretly surprised, is there still this kind of usage?

Immediately after, there was a sharp intuition from behind! Sure enough, Lohia's attacks were launched from behind one after another, this time, it couldn't be fake! Saber slashed through the beam of light that was attacking him in mid-air, and rushed towards the position where the enemy fired!

Just a short time ago, who knows how far Archer escaped? Anyway, Saber had only one way to pursue!

Crushing the ground, the blue figure was like a galloping bird, striding and sprinting in the forest, reducing the distance and easily pulling the position relationship between the two.

With his own speed, as long as he ran with all his strength for three or five seconds, Tsukahara Mingshi was far behind by himself, and it was impossible to successfully use the trap of that wonderful magic.

Seemingly, it's to confuse Saber, right?

After Archer fired a few shots, he didn't continue shooting, probably for fear that Saber would find out where he was, and chased him for about three hundred meters, Saber stopped and looked around. After suffering the loss just now, every time she stops now, her first reaction is to see if there are any traps around her.

Nothing and quiet.

Saber quietly looked around, pausing for Archer's next attack.

It may seem like giving up thinking and being beaten passively, but in fact, it's the best way to do it right now.

Don't move blindly, from the point of view that Archer stops attacking, it should be close to the distance where [she will be exposed if she continues to attack]. Then, if you wait for a while and wait until she continues to attack, then it means that [during this time, she escaped to a safe distance], calculate the time between the two, and take into account the distance between Lohia, you can reverse the distance between Lohia and herself, and then it will be ...... The Wind King has a hammer.

If you put the strong wind behind you to form a propulsion, you can rush into the long distance like a jet plane! Saber waited quietly.

One second, two seconds...... Three-second ...... Ten seconds......

It wasn't until the twelfth second that another beam shot from the forest!Saber calculated, a slight smile on his lips, and while parrying the beam attack, he walked in the direction of the opponent's attack, ready to ......

"Wind King Hammer!"

She shouted loudly, and the two-handed sword behind her quickly erupted into a spiral hurricane, breaking through in one breath, pushing her herself in reverse, breaking through in one breath!

Straight line assault, although not flexible enough, but Saber also has a way, put his armor on the outside, forcibly use it as a defense, and break all the branches that hinder him along the way!!

This move is called the Wind King Hammer, and the effect is indeed like an unreasonable hammer!

Lohiya was probably taken aback, the speed of the next blow was a little sluggish, probably a hasty shot, and then quickly escaped, right?

It's a pity......

"It's too late, archer!!"

In the advance of the strong wind, Saber had already rushed to the position she estimated! I saw her turn around and sword, and the golden brilliance was revealed as the strong wind dissipated, and the excessively strong hurricane swept away most of the surrounding trees and grass at once!

And Lohia's stunned face was right in front of her!

"Caught up with you!archer!!"
