Chapter 13: The Gathering of Miracles (3)
"Your attacks are a little weak, Lance. Artoria waved the invisible sword in her hand and said with a chuckle.
"It's really a strong opponent, until now I not only can't hurt you in the slightest, but even my breathing is not disordered, I have to admit that you are a strong opponent. Ignoring Artoria's slightly teasing tone, Lance said with a cautious expression.
After the battle just now, he had already truly felt the strength of his opponent, and the pressure brought to him by the invisible sword was huge. Not knowing the size of the sword body is really a bit difficult to estimate the dodge distance, which is very fatal for a battle of this level of heroic spirits.
"Alright, it's time for the boring temptations between each other to end, so let's get serious. Just leave it at that, Lance. The magic power all over her body surged, and Artoria shouted with high fighting spirit.
The battle just now was just a boring temptation, it was just some small tricks, just so-called small tricks, and that was just a word between the 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.
"That's the end of the game! Lancer!”
Before Lancer could speak, a voice suddenly came from a distance, interrupting the conversation between the two.
Artoria and Alice Fell looked up at the same time. 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? Anyway, the other party doesn't seem to want Saber and Alice Fell to 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. ”
Hearing the meaning of the words, Artoria couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, is it finally about to start?
If it's time for a Heroic Spirit to use a treasure, it's basically going to be desperate.
Her eyes were glued to Lancer, and while Artoria was confident in her strength, she was never careless, no matter who her opponent was.
And as a treasure of a heroic spirit, the crystallization of thousands of illusions, it has its own incredible ability no matter what.
"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. In front of Artoria's eyes, the spell of the spear in Lancer'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.
"It seems that the battle needs to be over, although the battle with you is very pleasant, but my master has already given the order. So, take it, Saber!" Lancer let out a low growl with both hands in his hands.
Faithful. Artoria thought to herself as she looked at Lancer.
Artoria had seen a lot of loyal people during her lifetime, but it was quite rare for someone like Lancer to be so faithful even after being summoned as a Heroic Spirit as a servant.
In this way, the scope of the other party's real name has been greatly reduced. ’
Artoria also lowered her body to more carefully anticipate Lancer's movements.
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. Artoria'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.
Artoria's "Wind King Enchantment" 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. Artoria's instincts told her. She had always been quite confident in her instincts.
After all, it's a precognitive intuition.
The first to strike was Lancer.
Compared to the flashy and varied moves he had used before, this straight blow even felt clunky. As if Artoria's next move was not predicted at all, no, not even intended to defend against her counterattack.
Artoria rightfully used her 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?!"
Artoria cried out in surprise and took three steps back. Lancer had a calm expression on his face, not ready 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 Lancer's gun.
However, Artoria was the only one who was surprised. Lance, laughing, scoffed at her surprise.
"Your sword, exposed. ”
“......”
Lancer whispered triumphantly, and Artoria, who was silent for unknown reasons. These are the only two parties who understand the reason for this.
The wind is emitted by Artoria'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 have seen the blade of your sword, and I will no longer be fooled by you. ”
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. Artoria could only do her best, using her 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 Artoria's blonde hair away. 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.
'Looks like that gun has a demon-breaking effect.' Looking at the red spear in Lancer's hand, Artoria thought to herself. Otherwise, there's no way to explain why the Wind King's enchantment effect has been broken. Is this the power of his Noble Phantasm?'
"You look surprised. Looking at the silent Artoria, Lancer said with a strange smile.
"One thing, I didn't expect the effect of your gun to be the ability to break demons, which caught me off guard for a while. Artoria immediately calmed down and said unconcernedly. It's just, 'What about that yellow spear, and what kind of power is it if it's also a treasure?' thought Artoria as she glanced at the spear that Lancer had thrown to the ground.
It's impossible not to care, could it be that Lancer just held two guns just to confuse him? Artoria didn't believe this, and from the very beginning of the battle, it was obvious that Lancer's grasp of two guns was by no means something ordinary people could do.
So it's very likely that the yellow spear is another Lancer Phantasm, but it's not known what it does. And Lancer's discarding of it must have been an attempt to confuse me.
"Why don't you unleash the Noble Phantasm, Saber, I'm sure you're well aware that your sword has been exposed, and in terms of the popularity of that sword, I don't think there will be any Heroic Spirit who doesn't know it. Lancer said with a smile on his face with a hint of admiration in his face. "But it's amazing, who you are, and your gender. ”
"Heh, are you in such a hurry to return to the Valhalla's Throne?"
