Chapter 21: Brutality

“Saber……”

At this time, Saber's hand had been cursed with irreparability, and he had to face an enemy that he might not be able to defeat in his prime, and Alice Fell looked at Saber standing in front of him with some concern.

As if sensing Alice Phil's concern as she stood behind her, Saber clenched the holy sword in her hand, and a serious voice reached Alice Phil's ears.

"Don't worry, Alice Field, I won't fail until my wish is granted." The petite Knight King took a few steps forward, then stopped, his right hand clutching the holy sword and pointing directly at Lancer not far away.

"Lancer, let's get started, our unfinished battle."

Lancer, who was standing not far away, looked at the two guns in his hand with a warlike spirit, played with two spears, and said, "Fighting with the world-famous knight king really makes my blood surge." ”

As soon as the words fell, Lancer and Saber disappeared in place at the same time, quickly rushing towards each other.

And at this time, Emiya Kiritsugu, who had been hiding, was ready to start acting.

“…… Maiya, you cooperate with my countdown, attack the Assassin, and suppress it with a shot. ”

Immediately there was a "understood" reply from the other side, and tension was in the air.

Now this situation is to kill Lancer's Master first, which is the only way to break the deadlock.

—Six ......"

Kiritsugu began to count down in a low voice, aiming the thermal sensing detector's sight at Lancer's Master.

The WA2000 sniper rifle was tested abroad before it was brought to Japan after it was ordered, so Kiritsugu was already familiar with the performance of the gun. However, the feasibility of working with the Darkvision system has not been confirmed...... At this time, the only way to rely on Maiya's shooting skills was to rely on Maiya's shooting skills.

"—Five ......"

According to Maiya's report, the sight adjusts the firing distance to 500 meters, and the reticle of the sight is consistent with the trajectory of the bullet, from the muzzle of the gun to the target at 500 meters.

In long-distance shooting, the bullet does not move in a straight line, but moves in an extremely slow arc in the air, which means that when the target is slightly closer than the shooting distance, the point of impact should be slightly away from the aiming direction and a little lower.

It was less than 300 meters away from Lancer's Master, so Kiritsugu carefully adjusted his aiming point.

"—Four ......"

Lancer is forced by the Master's Spell to attack Saber.

After the Master was shot dead, it is impossible to predict how he will react, but he should not continue to attack Saber, and then in the face of Berserker's threat alone, Kiritsugu should be able to plan the idea of getting Saber and Alice Phil out of danger.

The final issue is the safety of Kiritsugu himself, and the reckless act of launching a sniper next to the Assassin is a last resort in this case.

"—Three ......"

In order to reduce the risk, Kiritsugu asked Maiya to launch at the right time, Maiya's AUG can fire 5.56mm Thunderbolt high-velocity rounds, which is impossible to damage the Assassin as a Servant, but the Assassin may ignore the other sniper shooting in front of him if he is accidentally shot.

- Needless to say, the preparation and estimation of this shot was grossly inadequate.

"—Second ......"

If the Assassin mistakes Maiya for an enemy who is pretending to feint, but Maiya is far enough away from the Assassin to escape from here. Perhaps, before that, the Assassin fled for fear of showing up in front of the other masters.

However, in the event that all possibilities are lost, it is possible that the Assassin will immediately attack Kiritsugu next to him. At that point, there will be only a last battle. There is no time to think about what the odds are. It's the only option.

"—a ......"

Kiritsugu breathed quietly and slowly pulled the trigger.

However, just moments before he pulled the trigger, a black figure smashed into Lancer's body at a terrifying speed.

The air was torn apart, there was a wail, and then ......

"Boom!!"

The roar of the sky, and when the smoke cleared, Lancer and Berserker were seen lying in a large pile of iron sheets.

Lancer, who was affected by Berserker, felt that his whole body had been affected to varying degrees, and even the recovery power of the Heroic Spirit could not immediately stand up and continue the battle.

And Berserker was even worse, his left arm was directly removed, and the armor on his body was already in tatters, with a pit in the east and a depression in the west, which shows how tragic the battle just now was.

"Shhhh Although I feel a little strong, but compete with me in martial arts, you are not enough to class! Holding the left arm that was torn from Berserker's body in his left hand, with the halberd resting on his shoulder, Naraku, who exuded a ghostly aura all over his body, walked in the direction of Berserker step by step, "So you can leave here today!" ”

“Wryyyyyyyyyyyy——!!” Roaring like a beast, Berserker, completely ignoring his wounds, went berserk again and rushed in the direction of Naraku.

The other side......

"Lancer, it's okay!" Saber looked at Lancer, who had been knocked away by Berserker and now finally regained his mobility, and said that he raised his sword and wanted to continue fighting with Lancer, but he was attracted by something, his face turned pale, his beautiful eyes couldn't be bigger, and even his lips trembled slightly.

What attracted Saber's attention was the weapon that Berserker was now using to smash against Naraku, the treasure that really belonged to Berserker, the slender sword body, the blade of the sword shimmering, sparkling like a lake in the moonlight, the elven inscription on it, how familiar Saber was, that was ...... An indestructible lake......

Naraku looked at the magic sword that was struggling with his halberd, his dark eyes reflected the rippling waves, and the corners of his mouth curled.

"Did you finally get something real?" Naraku pressed down the halberd in his hand, feeling the power coming from above, and became excited, "Hey, the strength is greater, but ...... It's useless! ”

Flying up with a kick, he kicked heavily on the armor in Berserker's abdomen, kicking the tattered armor directly into pieces, and then, Naraku did not retreat with this force, on the contrary, he rushed directly towards Berserker with a hard thrust, and the halberd in his hand fell again.

"Four Styles Change: [Super Instantaneous]!!"

Pitch-black thunder emerged from his body, wrapping around his body, and Naraku used the power he hadn't used for a long time from Koos, the god of disobedience who had lived with him who had made him a godkiller, and attached it to the halberd, gathering at a point on the tip of the halberd.

In an instant, Naraku's figure vanished, at least in the eyes of those present.

By the time he noticed, the tip of the halberd had been inserted into the ground where Berserker had been, and then the ground exploded like a mine, and in an instant, the lightning was raging, and the debris that flew from the ground was simply evaporated under the violent lightning.

The rampaging thunder wrapped around his body, making Naraku look like the Extinct Thor, but after all, this was only a scene effect, and did not have the power to deal decisive damage to the Heroic Spirit, so Berserker, who dodged this swift blow, immediately raised his sword and slashed at it.

[Not only strength, but also speed? 】

During the battle, Naraku, who exuded a frenzied aura, smiled fiercely like a ghost, his hands kept moving, and his brain was also analyzing the changes in Berserker's strength at the same time, although he was still pressed down, his posture was better than just now.

[It seems that taking that sword has an effect on improving the attributes of the Servant itself, but ......]

"The guy with weak basic strength is just like this, no matter how much PowerUp is!"

With the tip of the halberd against the ground as the fulcrum, Naraku used the hard body of [Eclipse] to block this slash after being strengthened by him, although a deep groove drawn by the tip of the halberd appeared on the ground again, and even Naraku himself was repelled by the force of this blow and slid backwards.

However, Naraku is a person who likes to attack, and it is impossible to blindly defend, so while retreating, he almost ignores inertia and pulls up the halberd that has fallen into the ground.

"Four Styles, [Instantaneous], Flash!!"

With a flash of speed, Naraku's halberd struck directly at the sword that Berserker was using to defend in front of him, forcing Berserker back, but it didn't hurt him.

However, the reason why Lian Shan is called Lian Shan is because it is not a simple blow, the right hand holding the halberd shakes like a sun, and the speed attack that cannot be observed by the naked eye, the long halberd keeps stabbing at Berserker.

Of course, although Naraku's attack did not mean to kill the opponent intentionally, his long-term habit still made him kill the opponent's vital point with every blow, but because the core of the Servant was not injured, Berserker did not leave the game.

"Whoa——!"

Berserker roared despite his ability, and though he was out of his senses, the pain still gnawed at his nerves, and the beastly cry was full of pain.

"It's over!" The silver arm glowed with intensity, slashing at Berserker's head.

"Don't ——!"

Seeing Berserker's voice getting more and more poignant, Saber, who had stopped fighting because Lancer was affected by Naraku, finally couldn't help it anymore and loudly stopped Naraku.

"Tsk!" Naraku smacked his tongue very unhappily, the blow just now caused him to miss a few points because of Saber's big-mouthed woman, although he pierced Berserker's body in half, but in terms of results, it was still not fatal because it didn't hurt the spirit core.

However, the body is pierced, which means that Naraku's weapon is already inside the enemy's body.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Naraku's mouth showed an evil arc.

"Poof!"

The halberd was violently pulled to the side by Naraku directly from the inside of Berserker's body, and due to its speed, not only did it not take Berserker up, but cut it in half by slashing his body in half.

The huge wound caused the boiling blood to find a breakthrough, and it spewed out like a high-pressure water gun, and the originally dark earth was dyed a dark red.

Whether it was Kenneth or Lancer, or Ellie and Saber, they were not shocked by the bloody scene in front of them, and they forcibly pulled their bodies off, and they used the halberd, which is not very sharp in its body, and the bones of Bai Sensen at the wound, bright red muscles, and the blood flowing out of the blazing blood, so brutal, the battle-hardened Lancer and Saber felt a tingling of their scalps, not to mention Kenneth and Ellie who lived in peacetime.

Although they are also magicians, after all, magicians have very different fighting styles, and although there are such scenes, there are not many of them.

After injuring Berserker, Naraku jumped away, leaving Berserker standing on the ground with difficulty on the ground, holding on to the indestructible lake.

"You!" Saber glared at Naraku, she had already opened her mouth to stop it, but Naraku still beat Berserker to this almost fatal serious injury, plus Berserker may be the person she remembers, how could Saber endure being abused by Naraku like this.

"Are you going to stop me, scum?" Naraku glanced back at Saber, "You can go up if you want, I won't mind, as long as you don't care if you die now......"
