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

"If you go straight along this road, you will see an abandoned factory on the left-hand side, which seems to be 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, and hearing Kiritsugu say that he had a report of Lancer's whereabouts, Saber advocated immediate action.

"Anyway, are you alright? Won't continuous battles be a big burden for you? ”

"No problem, Alice Field, I'd love to face Lancer tonight." After the awe-inspiring proclamation, it was Saber's turn to glance worriedly at the passenger seat, "It's you, Alice Field, are you alright?" Your face wasn't very good just now. ”

Saber looked at Alice Phil next to her while steering the steering wheel, Saber saw at a glance that Alice Phil's face was pale and bloodless, and she was frequently wiping the cold sweat on her forehead, which she had been like this since she left the river, although she was trying to hide it, but others could tell at a glance that she was trying to force 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 was not portrayed as a new residential town, it was probably a place like a manufacturing factory, a place abandoned by the wave of development and forgotten by the new bustling streets, quietly standing in the heart of a small hill overgrown with lush dogtail grass.

Slowly passing through the open door into the clearing, Saber turned off the car's engine, and 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 magic enchantments, 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 had only gotten out of the car later, asserted with a calm expression that this skilled swordsman must have already sensed the breath of a decisive battle through his keen intuition.

Sure enough, as if to verify 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."

Almost blurting out the word Master and not saying 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, but the most fundamental reason is that she subconsciously does not 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 out words in his head before he asked the visitor a question.

"Where is my master's fiancée now? Saber, you won't say you don't know, will you? ”

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

"I don't know what's going on?"

"It's okay, you didn't ask."

Lancer let out a long sigh, the reassurance in it far outweighed the disappointment, he hadn't intended to ask Saber this question, Lancer would hate it just by imagining that his rival would resort to such a dastardly trick as taking hostages.

"By the way, Saber, are you alright? I don't think you're here to make small talk with me, but didn't you expend a lot of stamina in the fight against Caster? ”

"On that note, I guess the same is true for other Servants."

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

"So I guess everyone won't take the initiative tonight, but should take the defensive, and because of this, there is no need to worry about irrelevant people intervening in tonight's duel."

Saber's whole body was overflowing with a calm fighting spirit, and she took a step forward, but her 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.

"yes, I'm sorry, let's plug in and don't mind!" A voice came from behind Saber and the others, "By the way, bring a lunch box for Lancer-kun." ”

Unconcerned about passing by Saber with his sword in both hands, Ziggy came up to Lancer and took a battle stance.

"Wait, why are you here?" There is still a deep grudge against Naraku for mercilessly killing Lancelot.

"Why? Why, Lancer's first opponent is Ziggy, so there's nothing wrong with Ziggy giving him one last ride! ”

"But ......"

"So, how about I be your opponent, it just so happens that I am the murderer of Lancelot, do you want to avenge your courtiers, of course, I don't dare to guarantee that if we fight, there are a few people here who will survive."

"You ......" Although she wanted to put a sword on Naraku's hateful face, considering that there was Alice Phil behind her, she was still very unwilling to put down the sword in her hand, and she was not sure that she would be able to protect Alice Phil while fighting Naraku, who was far stronger than Lancelot.

"Bang!" The clashing of fists and guns rang out, and the battle between Ziggy and Lancer began.

The morning light is faint, and the sky is reddish.

In the fresh air, Lancer and Ziggy used all their magic to attack each other, and if you were a person with particularly sharp senses, just standing in the middle of the whirlpool of the two of them would feel like they had been hit, and maybe even cause heart paralysis.

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.

However, it all stopped when Saber helped her stop the oppression.

On the one hand, the battle tonight is a repetition of the battle that was interrupted a few days ago because he was rescued by the Command Curse, but the battle between the two was more intense, more violent, more direct, and more poignant than the first battle, and it was a head-on confrontation of force and force.

As soon as Ziggy came on the field, he directly lifted the ban on Elimination, and launched a stormy attack on Lancer with all his might.

However, Lancer was not unilaterally suppressed by Ziggy like last time, last time it was because he didn't know the strength of Ziggy's hand-to-hand combat and attack methods, so he was unilaterally suppressed in an instant, and now with the experience of the last time, Lancer was able to counterattack more calmly.

Although Ziggy was unable to gain an advantage because he had used more strength than in the previous battle, at least he had not yet shown defeat, and his situation was further aggravated by the fact that he had broken his Noble Phantasm not long ago in order to deal with Caster, and the Yellow Rose, one of the two guns, was destroyed.

Neither of them used conspiracy or tricks, but was more swift and dignified, and after one side performed a move, the other immediately went all out to perform a counterattack that could override the move.

I don't know how many rounds have been fought, maybe dozens of rounds, maybe hundreds, it is impossible to judge with the naked eye at all.

[Tsk, trouble, Ziggy, decide what to do if necessary. Through the recitation, Naraku passed on his meaning to Zig, "I'll leave here a little bit, be careful yourself. 】

【Hi! After entering the [Essence of Jeremiah] state, Ziggy will become silent.

The corners of his mouth curled, and Naraku, who was leaning on the motorcycle, closed his eyes, and his body did not move, and he entered a state of meditation in a standing position.
