Chapter 19: The Battle on the Harbor (Part I)
After receiving the signal from Alice Phil, Emiya Kiritsugu and Kuyu Maiya followed the signal and rushed to Warehouse Street. They were greeted by a silent silence.
All I heard was the howling of the sea breeze, and the deathly silence and stagnant air. The night was so peaceful.
But...
It's already started.
Relying only on the aura of magic coming from all around, Kiritsugu correctly judged the situation.
Someone opened the enchantment. It seems that the master of the enemy Servant should have done it. The purpose is to isolate ordinary people from the Holy Grail War, to hide the real scene. Not letting one's actions be exposed to the public is a rule that magicians must follow.
Holding a ten-kilogram alien sniper rifle in his arms, Kiritsugu began to think about it. According to the signal from the transmitter, he already knew the exact direction of Alice Field, but the question was how to approach it and where it was better to observe.
He had no idea of going to war at all, so he brought a sniper rifle. He wanted to stand in a suitable position to observe the battle, and if necessary, use a sniper rifle to attack. Servants aren't human, so it's only Servants who can hurt them. No matter how powerful Kiritsugu and Maiya's guns were, they wouldn't have any effect on the Servant. Saber's mission, on the other hand, is to fight against the opponent's Servant. As long as the opponent can concentrate on the battle and not be distracted by the safety of the Master. Then the battle will have a chance of winning.
"Looks like it's a good place to watch the battle." Maiya said as she pointed forward. It was a crane towering in the night. After visual inspection, the height of the wheelhouse is about 30 meters, and if you can climb to it quietly, it can be said that it is the best place to watch the battle.
Kiritsugu didn't disagree with Maiya's opinion, but because of that, he shook his head. Indeed, it's the best place to be monitored, so I'm afraid it's not just us.
There was no need for Kiritsugu to continue to explain, but Maiya already understood his intentions. Maiya sneaked in from the east coast, and I'm looking for a vantage point from the west where I can observe Saber's battle and monitor the crane.
"I see." Armed with an AUG assault rifle, Maiya trotted and disappeared into the shadows of Warehouse Street. Kiritsugu checked the transmitter's reaction and cautiously moved in the opposite direction.
------ gorgeous dividing line--------
All Alice Fell could do was stare at the battle in front of her. The battle in front of her was going on extremely fiercely. She knew that it was a brutal duel that would only happen in that distant era. The samurai in armor fought each other in the shadow of swords and swords. However, the burst of magic and the torrent of heat made her feel different. If it's just a clash of cold weapons, then what is this ensuing powerful air flow that seems to destroy everything. The feet that stepped on the ground crushed the earth. The air pressure brought by waving the weapon cut off the street lamp alive. Alice Phil could no longer see their super-fast movements. She could only feel the aftermath of the battle between the two.
The iron sheet on the outer wall of the warehouse, like twisted tin foil, was swept away by the wind from Alice Field. She couldn't understand why the tin sheet was peeling off. Probably because Saber's sword or Lancer's spear had grazed the void in the plane around there. Besides. She couldn't think of any other explanation.
The wind whispered.
Faced with a space that was completely contrary to the physical laws of the world, the air around him let out a nervous whimper. A frenzied storm raged through the deserted shopping streets, destroying and trampling everything. A white-knuckle battle of just two people can ruin an entire street.
Holy Grail War!!
Alice Phil is feeling the fabled threat and consternation. The world of legends and myths appeared alive in front of her eyes. This is simply a reproduction of myths. Thunder tore through the sky, and waves shattered the earth. The world of fantasy is miraculously realistically recreated. This is the battle between the Servants!
Alice Phil pulled La Mordred, "Aren't you going to help Saber?" ”
Mordred shook her head, the helmet on her head clattering. "It's a battle between knights, and no one else is allowed to interfere. Father will win, the one who wields the gun is not her opponent, but the weapon is a little strange and it is impossible to tell which is his real treasure. Besides, my mission now is to protect you! If someone takes advantage of the chaos to sneak attack, I will regret that it will be too late. It may be that it has been too long, and Mordred has forgotten most of the plot, and at the moment she is trying to recall Lancer's treasure.
And at this time. Saber was stunned. 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 gun should be a weapon that can be waved with both hands. So she thinks that Lancer is only trying to confuse the enemy by using two guns at the same time. 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 Noble Phantasm is equivalent to revealing his 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. Then it is not difficult to explain why he used two guns at the same time. Not knowing which one was the real Phantasm, Saber had to be on guard against both guns. So, now we just need to figure out which gun is the real gun.
Between your own weapon and the weapon you use to confuse your opponent, there will be a difference 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 a moment.
"What's wrong Saber, your attacks aren't of much use."
In the face of Lancer's teasing, she had no room to refute. He has fought for thirty rounds, but he has not hit his opponent once.
Lancer danced the gun in his right hand and lunged at him. The dancing blade draws a fairly wide range of attacks, and its strength and speed are no less than that of holding a two-handed gun. No, because it's one-handed, there are a lot of moves that aren't found in two-handed pistols. The gun slammed at Saber from an unexpected angle.
And the gun has its limitations, after all. Because it's too long, it's inevitable that a flaw will be revealed between attacks. At this point, the short gun on the left can immediately follow up and continue to contain Saber.
And Saber's attack just now was cracked by the impermeable defense of the short gun.
Use two guns at the same time, but no half move is a false move. This Lancer Heroic Spirit perfectly coordinates the guns in his left and right hands. What kind of study is needed to learn such a strong trick?
This man is very powerful!
In the first battle, Saber was in a trembling state of trembling. And now, Saber suddenly broke free from the shadows.
Although it seems to others. Now it was Lancer's intensive offensive that gave him the upper hand in the battle, but it was not.
Lancer has been shooting since the first shot. In order to defend against Saber's attacks, it can be said that he is exhausted. Although he teased, he was also unable to turn the situation around.
Lancer, who can wield a gun with one hand, can now use both long and short guns at the same time, so that he can attack from near and far. In terms of the quality of his equipment, he couldn't have been forced to get to this point by Saber, who only used a sword.
However, Lancer couldn't see Artoria's sword at all.
Lancer secretly crumbled in his heart. Not only Alice Phil and Mordred, who were watching from the sidelines, but also Lancer, who was also a Servant, could not 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 could tell 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. Keep yourself active outside 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, really!
Face up to the opponent you first encountered. Feeling like the moment was about to fight to the death, a sad smile appeared on Lancer's face.
