Chapter 16: Saber VSLancer (3)

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.

However, the so-called little tricks, that is only the Servant statement, the aftermath of these "little tricks" damaged by the road surface, left a terrifying mark, has been collapsed two warehouses, the asphalt of the road has been turned over like farmland, looking at such a battlefield, people 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 moves, and neither of them showed a trace of fatigue.

"If you start fighting without even reporting your name, your reputation is really worthless." Lancer brandished his 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 and a smile appeared on his face, "Although I don't know your name, I have complimented me 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 are confident in their abilities, so they pay their respects when they meet true opponents, and both 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 Fell looked up, trying to find the voice's owner.

"Lancer's ...... Master？ ”

Alice Fell looked around, but did not find a figure, because the voice came suddenly, and she did not 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 plan 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 Noble Phantasm and fight quickly."

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

Phantasm - Finally, Lancer's master 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.

"So...... That spear is Lancer's ......? ”

In front of Saber's eyes, the spell of the spear in Lancer's right hand was slowly unraveled, it was a crimson gun, and the blade of the spear was wrapped with a magic force completely different from the previous one, like an ominous mirage.

"That's it, go up and kill her."

Lancer grabbed it with both hands in his hands and let out a low roar.

Saber also lowered his body, more carefully anticipating Lancer's movements.

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

One is to shout his real name while sending out his special power, and Saber's special move belongs to this category.

Although she is now covered in an enchantment, the "Sword of Victory of the Oath", once she is freed from the disguise and calls her true name, her sword will emit a torrent of light, and even thousands of troops are not afraid to say that it is a sword that can turn the earth into scorched earth, so it must not be used unless it is absolutely necessary.

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

Saber's "Wind King Enchantment" is of this type, and it can't hurt enemies on its own, but it can steer the battle in a more advantageous direction, and although the effect is not very powerful, it can also be the key to victory 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.

“……”

The silence between the two added to the tension, and they slowly moved to find each other's flaws.

The first to strike was Lancer.

Compared to the flashy and varied moves he had unleashed before, the straight blow even felt clunky, as if he hadn't predicted Saber's next move at all, no, hadn't even intended to defend against her counterattack.

Saber rightfully blocked the stabbing spear with his sword, but the shot, which should have been painless, was ......

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, but Lancer had a calm expression on her face, not prepared to chase after her, and in Alice Field's opinion, she didn't even know what was going on.

It was just a gust of wind, only for a moment, and it wasn't anything else, but the question was where it came from, as it was clearly not caused by Lancer's gun.

Saber was the only one surprised, though, and Lancer laughed, scoffing at her surprise.

"Your sword, exposed."

“……”

Lancer, who whispered triumphantly, and Saber, who was silent for some reason, were the only two parties who understood the reason for this.

The wind was emitted by Saber's sword, precisely, from her "Wind King Barrier", and the refracted air within the barrier that was compressed to distort light was released in an instant, just the moment it collided with Lancer's sword.

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

"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 was a lethal attack, there was no superfluous movement, every move was calculated accurately, and 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.

“……”

The constant leaking air pressure gathered into a strong hurricane, violently blowing away Saber's blonde hair, and there was no doubt that the red spear had lifted the "Wind King's Barrier", and in the constant fighting, the previously invisible sword was now almost completely exposed.

"But...... That gun ......"

There is another way, Saber encouraged himself like this, and the spear technique used with both hands should be an ordinary trick that he has ever seen.

In the continuous attack, Saber keenly spotted a loophole in the opponent, even if this blow is not blocked, as long as it can dodge, relying on the hardness of the armor can also prevent his attack, this is a wonderful opportunity to counterattack.

Saber immediately turned his hand and stabbed the sword into Lancer's shoulder, ignoring the tip of the spear that grazed his ribs, a little power that could be blocked by his armor, and his own sword could cut the opponent in two......

The sudden pain brought Saber to his senses.

Withdrawing the sword that had been stabbed, he turned his body to the side and flipped over on the ground, and the situation could only be described as a single shot. Lancer's gun was covered in blood.

Needless to say, everyone knows whose blood it is.

Saber, who had managed to escape Lancer's pursuit, immediately stood up and continued to pin down her opponent, but the pained look on her face was not hidden.

“Saber！”

No longer thinking about what was going on, Alice Phil immediately used magic to heal the wound in Saber's ribs.

"Thank you Alice Phil, I'm fine, the healing magic has worked." She covered her wound as she spoke, and it seemed that the pain of the wound had not completely healed.

"Can't you win easily......

Hearing this, Lancer didn't have a look of disappointment, but shouted excitedly.

It seems that this man is bent on fighting a strong enemy.

Saber gritted her teeth and calmed down, her mind piecing together a chain of events in an attempt to find out why.

The armor did hold up against Lancer's gun, but even so, the gun stabbed itself.

Moreover, there is not a trace of scar on Saber's armor now.

In this way, there can only be one result, and that is that the moment the gun touches the armor, the armor disappears.

While Saber can't be incarnified, she can at least manipulate her armor to materialize, meaning that her armor is made of magic rather than being real like the clothes Alice Fell bought for her.

Then link to the disintegration of the Wind King's enchantment before...... The moment his gun touched the barrier, the barrier came loose.

“…… I see, I know the secret of your gun, Lancer! Saber groaned, gritting her teeth again in the face of the strength of her enemy.

That red spear can cut off the magic.

However, this is not to remove the magic from the root, because now the armor on Saber's body is still there, and the Wind King Barrier is still working, and the power of the gun can only take effect when it comes into contact with the magic power, so take advantage of that moment to cut off the magic power, maybe it can make his gun ineffective.

Although the destructive power of this treasure is mediocre, its ability poses a considerable threat to itself, and the advantages and disadvantages of Servant's weapons can be said to be determined by their magic power and magic effects, so no matter how strong the Servant is, in front of Lancer, it is estimated that there is only hope and sigh left.

"You'd better give up your armor Saber, you're no different from being naked in front of my gun."

Saber scoffed at Lancer's sarcastic words.

"I'm going to have a headache if I can make you so proud if I take off my armor."

Now that the secret of Lancer's gun has been recognized, there is nothing to fear. It's still undecided, who loses and who wins.

The silver armor wrapped around Saber's body suddenly scattered in all directions.

Alice Phil was dumbfounded, and Lancer narrowed her eyes.

There were no chest guards, bracer guards, or leg guards left, and Saber automatically lifted the armor, and the fragments of the armor lost their magical power and gradually disappeared like smoke.

"Since you can't defend it, you can only be cut before you are cut, enlightenment! Lancer！ ”

Saber began the fight again in thin civilian clothes, the tip of her spear stabbing from below, and she deftly dodged it, confronting Lancer with half her body, she was no longer defensive, but always ready to take down her opponent with a reverse blow.

Saber decides to split the winner with the final blow regardless of the result, and everyone sees her decision on her face.

"The final blow, is this what is called an all-or-nothing bet?" Lancer said with a look of contentment in a nostalgic tone, but there was obvious nervousness in his words.

Not only does Saber feel relieved when she has removed her armor, but the magic that was originally used to maintain her armor is also infused into her attacks, which is quite significant for Saber, who has the skill of "unleashing mana".

The so-called "unleashing mana" refers to the skill of gathering a large amount of mana in the weapon and limbs in the hand, and can burst out the magic power at any time as needed, instantly improving the athletic ability.

In other words, Saber's every movement can be accelerated in an instant, and this is the reason why Saber, who looks like a petite girl, can freely use that greatsword and fight like a true power warrior.

Now that she can use all of her remaining mana for melee combat, she mobilizes all the energy she can use to "unleash her magic", so that her strength and speed are almost sixty percent higher than usual, and each blow contains enough destructive power.

From the disadvantage of being forced to remove the armor to the advantage of abandoning the armor, this is the method she uses to deal with the "Demon Breaker".

"I admire your bravery and cleanliness......" Lancer swerved sideways defiantly like a matador in front of a bull, "but for now, I'd like to say you've made a mistake, Saber. ”

"Then give it a try, and you'll talk about it when you eat my sword." Saber was unrelenting.

She lunged forward, where Lance's spear was completely unfortunate, and if he couldn't keep up with Saber's speed, he would surely die.

Watching her opponent's footsteps, she calculated the timing, Lancer should be able to calculate the speed of her dash through the magic on her body, but he still had a plan......

Little, just little, Lancer's footsteps slowed down, and he stepped on a piece of ground made of sand grains that must have been rolled up from the asphalt road, and Lancer's legs sank into the sand, and his movements stopped.

Saber didn't intend to let him go, a violent explosion shook the air, and the golden sword, which was originally invisible, was now shining in the night sky.

This is the second role of the Wind King Enchantment, and the moment you unlock the enchantment, the Wind will attack the enemy mercilessly like a weapon, but this is also an attack method that can only be used once.

And this time Saber used it as a secret weapon, and had previously swung his sword fiercely, just to assault, to be able to accelerate.

The air freed from the golden sword propelled Saber behind her, and her body had been reduced to a supersonic cannonball as she used her full body power to "unleash her magic".

At this time, Saber's speed reached three times the usual speed, and it was too late to regret it, even if Lancer would seriously injure Saber, she was ready to take his life at that moment, and the high-speed rush several times faster than the sound wave broke the surrounding atmospheric wall, and the shock wave blew away the surrounding rubble and leaves without a trace.

Lancer didn't react, he seemed to give up on the attack, the red gun didn't move, but his legs moved.

In a highly concentrated consciousness, a time shorter than an instant is infinitely extended.

That's when Saber realizes that Lancer's flaw was faked by him, and that he didn't accidentally fall into the bunker, but deliberately stepped into it.

That is, the position that would give Lancer victory - that was where Lancer threw his shotgun.

"You made a mistake."

Her mind came to her mind what Lancer had just said.

She saw Lancer's smile in her winnings. "It's your mistake", from his eyes, she saw such words.

Lancer kicked the sand from his feet, but instead of the sand, it was the spear that Lancer had thrown away, the blade of which was facing the direction Saber was flying from, and the spell on the spear had been unraveled, revealing a golden body under the spell.

At this moment, Saber's naturally sharp sixth sense clearly told her that she was wrong.

She shouldn't have thought that a gun should be a two-handed weapon, this was originally a trap, didn't she be a little alert when she saw him wielding a gun in each hand?

Perhaps, this is the right way to use Lancer.

That Servant may have been a heroic spirit who was terrified by the "two magic guns".

Moreover, the Noble Phantasm is by no means limited to one.

She stared at the short spear, at the intense magic that was wrapped around the blade, and she couldn't stop her movements, so she had to wait quietly for the moment when the blade pierced her throat......
