Chapter 8: The battle is underway

"That's what it is...... Battle ...... between servants"

Alice Phil was confronted with a world she had never imagined and could only stare motionlessly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, the same consternation appeared in Saber's mind.

For her, killing on the battlefield is as commonplace as everyday. As a warrior who lives and dies on the battlefield, fighting enemies is as skilled as using a knife and fork. In her impression. It is common sense that the so-called "gun" should be a weapon that is waved with both hands.

So she believes that the lancer uses two guns at the same time just to confuse the enemy. As the heroic spirit of the Throne of Guns, the gun in his hand must be his treasure.

And in the Holy Grail War, being able to discover the true body of the treasure is equivalent to revealing one's true name! So the charm wrapped around Lancer's gun must be to hide the body of the gun. He and his master seem to be quite cautious when it comes to hiding their real names.

If so. It's not hard to explain why he used two guns at the same time - because he didn't know which one was the real Phantasm, Saber had to be on guard against both guns at the same time. So, now we just need to figure out which gun is the "real gun".

Between one's own usual weapon and the weapon used to confuse the opponent, there will be a distinction between "virtual" and "real" moves. So Saber focused on his every move, believing that if she recognized the real gun, her chances of victory would be greatly increased.

But ・・・・・・

This is the third time that his attack has been blocked. Saber had to stand back for the time being.

"What's wrong Saber, your attacks are useless."

β€œγƒ»γƒ»γƒ»γƒ»γƒ»γƒ»γƒ»γƒ»γƒ»β€

β€œsaber! Don't be limited in your thoughts! Not every servant only has one treasure! Regulus shouted.

β€œοΌβ€ Saber suddenly realized this, and then glanced at Regulus with a grateful face.

"Ah~ah~ Have you seen through it!" Lancer shook her head helplessly.

With Regulus's reminder, Saber can finally let go of his hands and feet, although the battle is still a little eaten, but he no longer wants to be tied up like before.

But it was bitter for the lancer・・・・・・・・

"This sword ・・・・・・・・"

Lancer secretly complained in her heart. Not only Alice Phil, who was watching from the sidelines, but also Lancer, who was also a servant, couldn't see the trajectory of the sword in Saber's hand clearly.

A large amount of air around the sword was gathered by the magic power, and the air that enveloped the sword formed an incredible refraction of light, so it was completely invisible. Although this is not much of a support for the Noble Phantasm, its effect is very noticeable in close combat.

Saber's opponents. Attacked by an invisible sword, while the opponent's attack is blocked by an equally invisible sword. Lancer is understandably anxious. Even if I can judge Saber's attack by her movements. He also couldn't sneak attack because he couldn't see the blade.

So lancer can only be estimated by estimate. Keep yourself out of Saber's attack range. And the flashy combo attack can only take effect at this time. Although he was able to block every attack of Saber, he still had no chance to deal a fatal blow to his opponent.

"This woman. . . It's really good・・・・・・・・"

Face up to the opponent you first encountered. Feeling like he had to fight to the death, a sad smile appeared on Lancer's face.

The two Heroic Spirits threw themselves into the battle. So I don't have the heart to care about the situation around me.

And Regulus has already discovered the assassin who is 'squatting' in a high place, this 'tragedy' killed by the emperor's king's army, can be said to be the most tragic heroic spirit in this Holy Grail War, he was killed by Gilgamesh in seconds when he appeared, and then he was killed by the emperor's group・・・・・・・・・ eh~ a living tragedy!

And he also found out that Kiritsugu and his assistant Maiya were also here, and they were also 'squatting' somewhere, with a sniper rifle in their hands, and seemed to be ready to be a yin man at any time.

"Huh!" When Kiritsugu moved the sniper scope towards Regulus, he saw Regulus turn his head to look at him and smile, which made Emiya Kiritsugu feel a little chill down his spine, if he was an enemy, it would be terrible!

The showdown between Saber and Lancer is still ongoing.

If it was originally a small trick used to test each other's strength, now it can be said that the battle between the two has reached a white-hot state.

But the so-called little tricks, that's just a talk between servants. The pavement damaged by the aftermath of these "little tricks" bears a terrifying mark. Two warehouses have been dumped, and the asphalt on the road has been turned over like farmland. Looking at such a battlefield, one can't help but feel that this place has just experienced a major earthquake.

In this ruined field, Saber and Lancer confronted each other unscathed, calculating each other's next move. Neither of them showed any signs of exhaustion.

"If you start fighting without even reporting your name, your reputation is really worthless."

Lancer brandished a spear full of murderous intent, but asked Saber in a relaxed tone.

"Anyway, I admire you, and I haven't even sweated a drop of sweat until now. It's not easy to be a woman. ”

"Don't be modest, Lancer."

Saber waved the sword in his hand with a smile on his face.

"Although I don't know your name, I praise you for being so skilled in spearmanship...... It was my pleasure, and I took it. ”

Although these two people are meeting for the first time, it is certain that there is a part of their hearts that are connected.

Both men are confident in their abilities, so they pay their respects when they meet real opponents. Both of them are not only lonely warriors, but also heroic spirits who cherish each other.

But・・・・・・・

"That's the end of the game! lancer!”

Saber and Alice Phil looked up. Want to find the owner of this voice.

"Lancer's ...... master?”

Alice Fell looked around, but found no figure. Because the voice came suddenly, I didn't even have time to judge whether the voice was male or female, and where it sounded. Is it a hallucination? In short, the other party doesn't seem to intend to let Saber and Alice Phil see him.

"Don't waste any more time, that saber is difficult to deal with, so I allow you to use the treasure to fight quickly."

Saber couldn't help but be touched by his words.

Phantasm - Finally the owner of the lancer urged him to use his strongest skill.

"Understood. My master. ”

Lancer replied abruptly in a respectful tone, as he changed his posture.

He casually threw the short gun in his left hand at his feet.

"That's his real treasure? Or is it deliberately misleading me? ”

In Saber's eyes, the spell of the spear in NCER's right hand was slowly unraveled.

It was a crimson gun. The blade of the spear was wrapped with a magic force that was completely different from what it had just been, like an ominous mirage.

"That's it. Go up and kill her. ”

Lancer grabbed with both hands. There was a low roar.

Saber also lowered his body. Predict lancer's movements more carefully.

There are two main types of effects that can be played by the treasure.

One is to shout your real name while giving out your nirvana. Saber's special move falls into this category.

Although she is now covered in enchantments, the "Sword of Victory of the Oath", once she is free from her disguise and calls her true name, her sword will emit a torrent of light, and even thousands of troops will not be afraid. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a sword that can scorch the earth, so it must not be used unless absolutely necessary.

The other is the attributes that the weapon already has, and use it as a treasure.

Saber's "Wind King Barrier" belongs to this type. It alone cannot hurt the enemy, but it can steer the battle in a more favorable direction. Although the effect is not very powerful, it can be the key to success if it can be used flexibly.

However, what exactly does Lancer's gun belong to?

Probably the latter. Saber's instincts told her.

Lancer continues to stalemate with Saber.

She didn't see that he was now in a hurry to win with one blow.

β€œγƒ»γƒ»γƒ»γƒ»γƒ»γƒ»γƒ»γƒ»γƒ»β€

The silence between the two added to the tension. The two moved slowly, looking for each other's flaws.

The first to strike was lancer.

Compared to the gorgeous and varied moves he had used before. The straight blow even feels bulky. As if there was no prediction of Saber's next move, no, not even intending to defend against her counterattack.

Saber rightfully used his sword to deftly block the stabbing spear. But this should have been a painless shot, but it ・・・・・・・・

Suddenly there was a strange gust of wind.

Centered on the opposing spears and swords, a whirlwind rolled up without warning.

"Huh?!"

Saber shouted in surprise and took three steps back. Lancer Ran had a calm expression on his face, and he was not prepared to chase after him at all. In Alice Field's opinion, she didn't even know what was going on.

It's just a gust of wind, just for a moment, and it's not like there's any other magic. But the question is where the wind came from, as it was clearly not caused by the gun in Lancer's hand.

However, Saber was the only one who was surprised. Lance laughed, scoffing at her surprise.

"Your sword, exposed."

β€œγƒ»γƒ»γƒ»γƒ»γƒ»γƒ»γƒ»γƒ»β€

The lancer whispered triumphantly and the Saber was silent for unknown reasons. These are the only two parties who understand the reason for this.

The wind is emitted by Saber's sword. To be precise, it should come from her "Wind King Enchantment". The air that had been compressed within the barrier to distort the light was released in an instant. At the moment when it collided with Lancer's spear and sword.

Then, the corner of the "True Sword" exposed from the broken barrier was seen by Lancer. And what he said just now was evidence that his gun had torn the "Wind King Enchantment".

"I can see the blade of your sword, and I won't be fooled by you anymore."

Lancer roared and rushed over.

As he said earlier, every shot is a lethal attack, there are no superfluous movements, and every move is calculated accurately. Saber could only do his best, using his sword to block every attack.

In an instant, the remnants of a golden sword appeared in a flicker.

β€œγƒ»γƒ»γƒ»γƒ»γƒ»γƒ»γƒ»γƒ»β€

The constant leaking air pressure gathered into a powerful hurricane that violently blew away Saber's blonde hair. There is no doubt that it was the red spear that lifted the "Wind King Barrier". In the midst of constant fighting, the previously invisible sword was now almost completely exposed.

"But ・・・・・・・ that gun ・・・・・・・"

There is another way, Saber encouraged himself like this. The spear technique used with both hands should be an ordinary trick that I have ever seen.

In the constant attack, Saber keenly spotted a loophole in the opponent. Even if you can't block this blow, as long as you can dodge, you can rely on the hardness of your armor to prevent his attack. It's a great opportunity to fight back.

Saber instantly turned his hand and stabbed the sword into Lancer's shoulder, ignoring the tip of the spear that grazed his ribs. This bit of strength can be blocked with armor, and his own sword can cut the opponent into two pieces・・・・・・・・・・
