Chapter Seventy-Six: The First Battle Between the Servants
85_85770 Adjacent to the eastern part of the waterfront park is a warehouse street, which also has harbour facilities that separate the new city from the industrial area further east. At night, there is almost no one here, and the dim lights illuminate the streets, making it even more empty. Unmanned cranes are neatly lined up on the beach, looking like huge dinosaur fossils, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
And the duel between them is perfect for this place.
Of course, Ye Tianxing knew that the other party's provocation by releasing his breath so blatantly must have attracted a lot of attention, and he was likely to be wary of others if he went rashly. But what does it matter, anyway, his purpose is not to compete for the Holy Grail, and besides, he has two True Ancestor-level vampires as helpers, so it doesn't matter what.
When the three of them approached Warehouse Street, they suddenly noticed that there were other breaths and actually came here first.
The other did not hide his breath either, and it seemed that both sides wanted to fight.
"Interesting, let's hide and watch a good show first."
"Uh-huh!"
For Elquit, it's just about being able to meet interesting things.
Scarlet Sakura was as casual as ever, she didn't say anything, but she still restrained her breath according to what Night Sky Star said.
The three of them came to the top of the crane, where they could see the entire site, which was the best place to monitor it.
The blonde girl in the suit who exuded an aura and the aristocratic lady who looked like a silver-haired fox fur looked like a duelist who bravely accepted the challenge, and walked down the wide four-lane road with dignity. The provocative one also boldly stood in the middle of the road, and his strange appearance and strong magic exuded showed that he was an unusual being.
The two stopped at a distance of about ten meters from each other and confronted each other.
It was the first opponent two to meet in this Holy Grail War, and both sides were watching each other closely.
A battle with lives at stake is about to begin.
The other party tucked his long hair back to his head, and the blonde girl in a black suit found that this was actually a man with good facial features.
His weapon is quite eye-catching, a spear that is about two meters taller than a human. Of the seven ranks, there are three in the Knight's Seat, Saber, Archer, and Spear's Heroic Spirit. And the man in front of him should be named R.
Unusually, his weapon was not limited to this spear.
In addition to a long spear that he held on his shoulder in his right hand, there was also a short spear in his left hand, which was about one-third the length of another.
If you can make use of the length of the gun, you can use two short guns for a long one. But not to mention swords, I have never seen this scene of using two guns of different lengths at the same time as seen today.
From the handle to the blade, both spears are wrapped in a charm-like cloth that makes it impossible to see them for what they are. I'm sure it was a countermeasure to hide the real name of the treasure.
"It's finally here. I've been waiting for a long, long time, but no one dares to come here, and the only one who responds to me is you. The Heroic Spirit, who was suspicious of R, praised in a deep but clear voice. He didn't put on a fighting posture, but asked the girl in the suit with a calm expression: "This clear fighting spirit, I think you are saber, right?" ”
"Exactly. You're R, right? ”
"Heh~ I can't even report the name of the opponent who is going to fight to the death next, it's really disappointing to tie my hands and feet."
Saber agreed, her cold expression softening slightly.
"It can't be helped. It's not for us to fight for our honor. You must have offered your gun to your master, too. ”
"Ha, that's right."
He didn't look like a man who was about to fight for his life, but instead smiled wryly with a relaxed face. When I looked at him closely, I saw that he was actually quite a pretty man.
The high bridge of the nose, the awe-inspiring eyebrows, and the delicate facial contours, and the delicate lips make people feel strict and ascetic, but the gentle and melancholy eyes make people strongly appreciate his masculine charm. And the tear mole under his left eye made his eyes even more charming.
Speaking of which, he is indeed a beautiful man who can charm a woman at a glance. No, he gives people the feeling that he really just relies on his looks?
Alice Phil behind Saber furrowed her eyebrows slightly.
"The magic of seduction? It's such a faux pas to a married woman, gunner. ”
r boldly unleash the spiritual power of seducing women. And Alice Phil, who is strengthened as an artificial person*, has twice the ability to resist demons than ordinary people, otherwise she would definitely be fascinated by him at a glance just like ordinary women.
As for Alice Phil's protest, R had to shrug his shoulders with a wry smile.
"I'm so sorry, I've been like I've been cursed since I was born. But there's no way around it. If you want to hate my birth, or hate you as women. ”
This is the magic eye that represents the Charm Curse, and only Saber is looking directly at him, and Alice Phil behind her does not look into his eyes. Perhaps what made his ability work was the moment Alice Fell saw his face. Maybe it's a demonic appearance.
Saber snorted, defiant of R.
"You're not expecting that I'll be merciful because of your face."
"If that's the case, it would be too boring, I see, the anti-magic ability of the Saber class is really extraordinary. It's okay, if I were asked to kill a weak woman because of this, then I would lose face. When I decided to wait here for someone who had the guts to come to the door, it seemed that I had made the right move. ”
"Oh? Looks like you're trying to have a good fight. It's a privilege to meet a heroic spirit like you. ”
Saber replied with a smile and an exaggerated expression. It is a transparent and tragic smile that only the warriors who are born and die can read.
"Let's get started, then."
R lifted the spear he was carrying on his shoulder, and with a backhand twist, he assumed a fighting stance. In his left hand, he slowly lifted the spear. The two guns are spread out and waved like wings, a fighting stance that has never been seen before.
Saber also unraveled the surging vindictiveness. The burst of magic stirred up a whirlwind of air in the air, and the air flow enveloped the girl's petite body, and in an instant, her whole body was wrapped in silver armor, and the magic turned into armor and gauntlets.
And this is the true face of this heroic spirit who appeared in the world with the rank of Saber.
"One-click dress-up! goodjob! ”
Seeing this, the night star couldn't help but applaud happily. Of course, he hadn't forgotten that he was still in hiding, and he had tried to keep his voice as low as possible. Still, you can feel the excitement in his heart.
Scarlet Sakura and Elquit looked at each other, although they didn't understand what it meant to "change clothes with one click", but after seeing the black suit of the girl in the Saber rank instantly turned into silver armor, they still roughly understood the meaning of this word.
"Oh? One-click dress-up? Seems interesting. Elquit began to think about whether to prepare a combat suit for himself as well.
The thought of being disguised in battle seems to be pretty good.
Not to mention, even Scarlet Sakura is a little moved.
Of course, the heart is heartbeat, at least Scarlet Sakura has no intention of participating in this kind of shameful play at the moment.
"Huh~ Someone opened the enchantment."
Elquit felt a wave of magic and looked around, as if intending to find the man who had laid the barrier.
"It should have been R's R. The purpose is to isolate ordinary people from the Holy Grail War, to hide the real scene. After all, not exposing one's actions to the public is an iron rule that almost every magician must abide by・・・・・・
Ye Tianxing explained a few words, and was suddenly stunned for a moment.
"What's wrong?"
Erquit, who was listening with relish, couldn't help but ask.
"・・・・・・ someone is spying on us."
The inspiration of the night star is very sensitive to the gaze and the like, even if it is not directly seen, even with the help of modern advanced electronic devices.
The crane towering in the dark is about thirty meters high, and this place is arguably the best place to watch the battle. Because of this, this is the most exposed location. Although this was expected to be the case, the feeling of being exposed to the shadows was still very unpleasant.
Night Star glared fiercely in the direction of the watcher hidden in the shadows, and the powerful mental impact made Emiya Kiritsugu, who was snooping with a ten-kilogram sniper rifle, dizzy.
"Oh no, it's been discovered!"
Enduring the discomfort, Emiya Kiritsugu hurriedly evacuated the surveillance point and looked for another location.
While transferring, he used the walkie-talkie to contact his beautiful assistant, "Maiya, there are three strange people in the direction of the crane, and their induction is very strong, don't look in that direction!" ”
"I see."
The cold-faced beauty, who had just found the observation site and was about to monitor the direction of the crane, was slightly stunned, and then nodded in response. Maiya didn't have the slightest doubt about the words of this man who had picked himself up from the war and raised him. She is an auxiliary machine qì, a machine specially designed to assist the operation of a normal machine called Emiya Kiritsugu. This is Maiya Kuyu. This is the necessary and ultimate weapon for Emiya Kiritsugu to be able to win this war. This is a role that only Maiya can do.
It was Emiya Kiritsugu himself who raised this girl who was picked up from the battlefield into such a woman.
The watchful gaze disappeared, and Night Sky Star nodded in satisfaction and watched the duel between the spearman and the swordsman.
The battle below is raging.
It was a brutal duel that could only have happened 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 give people an unprecedented feeling.
What is fighting? This is the real battle!
