"Goodbye."

In front of the subway station, two people waved goodbye, as if they had just finished a party.

"Then I'll go first, and I'll leave the 'hunting' to you, but be careful, even if you encounter it, don't delve into it."

"Oh, don't worry, that's what I'm good at."

"But you can't be careless, after all, we don't know the specific situation of the enemy."

"Of course." Archer smiled heartily, turned his back to Amakusa Shiro, raised his hand and waved it several times before leaving.

Generally speaking, it is not suitable for Servants to move too far away from their Master, after all, the efficiency of mana transmission itself will also be affected by distance.

And with the master's combat power, if you run into another servant when you are separated, then there is basically no possibility of survival.

Although it is theoretically possible to use the Command Spell to instantly pull the Servant to his side, for the attack speed of most Servants, it is possible that the magician will lose his life before he can react.

Of course, this so-called "too long distance" itself depends on the nature of the Servant, and for the vast majority of Servants, fighting within a radius of more than ten kilometers around their master can be regarded as a close range.

And if you have an inherent skill that acts alone or has other special abilities, the Servant's range of action will be greatly increased, as is the case with a Servant of the rank of Archer.

And if you add Semiramis's improved magic technology, Archer's free range can even exceed 100 kilometers.

Because of this, this time Amakusa Shiro Shizhen chose to let Archer carry out the operation alone.

After all, now Semiramis's treasure has fallen into a relatively important period, and the strongest combat power Karna must stay in the base camp just in case, plus the other servant can't be released yet, so the only combat power that can be used is Archer.

However, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada is deeply confident in Archer's combat prowess, after all, he is Arash Kamangir, the great hero of ancient Persian legend.

As a warrior of King Manuchher, who is known as the last king of the Western Asian gods, he was the savior who ended the sixty-year war between Persia and Turku and brought peace and tranquility to the people of both countries.

Legend has it that he sacrificed his life to shoot an arrow at the peak of Dema, and the place where the arrow landed formed the boundary between Iran and Turan, is commemorated and celebrated every year by the festival of stars (Tiregan).

Legend has it that Arash cut the earth apart with an arrow of the ultimate and divided the "border" between Persia and Turan.

The range of that arrow was actually 2,500 kilometers, and at the cost of a skill that this man could not do, he was torn apart and lost his life.

Although his Noble Phantasm is classified as a Counter Noble Phantasm because of the fact that his power is not concentrated in one point but has an effect on a wide area, it is even comparable to the Enemy National Treasure if only the attack range is considered.

Even if he doesn't use a treasure under normal circumstances, and has a body that can shoot this kind of power, Arash's combat power is also in the best position among all the servants.

And this time his mission is actually very simple, when Semiramis used his treasure to search routinely, he found that there is often a servant's aura wandering around here.

Amakusa Shiro Shizhen suspects that this breath is one of the breaths of the two servants who have not been known to him, and in order to confirm the enemy's information, he needs to send someone to conduct an inspection.

And because Amakusa Shiro Shizhen is not suitable for revealing his identity at this stage, he can only send one servant to carry out the mission.

According to the information provided by Semiramis, most of the time when the aura appears is at the busiest time of the night.

Therefore, Amakusa Shiro Shizhen knows very well that even if he encounters an enemy, he will basically not break out into too fierce battles, so the main purpose after encountering the enemy becomes to collect intelligence, and Arash, who has clairvoyance skills, is also a very suitable candidate.

After the two separated, Arash walked towards a dark neighborhood.

Since it was intended to seduce the enemy, it was naturally not in a place where there were too many people, and it was more suitable to start a war in those darker streets.

"It would be interesting if I could meet a strong person of Saber's level."

The corners of Arash's mouth rose boldly, and his appearance changed on the street corner where no one noticed.

The light armor woven with magic power covered the entire body from the spirit child state in less than two seconds.

Although he also liked the hooded jacket and shirt that Amakusa Shiro bought him, if he wanted to act as he wanted, it was better to wear this armor on his body.

Arash could feel very naturally, this human-like and inhuman feeling, because there was a familiar consciousness and cognition, but it was different, a strange force that turned him into a weapon of battle.

The crimson bow appeared in his left hand, and even if it wasn't a treasure, it wasn't an ordinary thing condensed with magic, but a weapon made with a special "prop crafting" skill.

Stroking the longbow in his hand and feeling the nature of this weapon, it is similar to the item he used in his life, but it took a lot of materials and time to make in his life, but now it only takes a moment to appear.

"That's what it is...... Servant? ”

It wasn't until now that Arash felt that he was no longer a normal human being.

The strongest warrior who served the last king of the mythical age in the world of West Asia three thousand years ago, the hero who unleashed an arrow to save all the people of Persia and Turan in the legend of the conquest of monsters and heroes no longer exists, although it is himself, but it is not the current self.

After all, he is indeed dead, and the self-servant who remains here is a weapon summoned by the master in order to win the Holy Grail War.

Arash calmly reviewed his current situation: "Then, let's get to work!" Fight as a Servant. ”

He crossed the subway station from the back side of the street, and barely met anyone along the way, after all, at this point in time, almost all the figures on this street were on another, more prosperous street.

With a slight effort on his legs, he easily jumped onto the roof of a large ten-story car parking lot, and after looking around for a while, he jumped to the roof of the building next to him, and then moved at high speed in a continuous ultra-long jump over the city.

Although this way of acting is extremely amazing for ordinary people, for Arash, it is not much different from when he was alive.

"It's amazing that I am once again in the world in my own image."

With a bit of emotion, Arash observed the entire street in a high-speed jump movement, his main focus on seeking the enemy, and only a little conscious of himself to prevent a sneak attack.

The street scene has really changed a lot, and so is the night, but people shouldn't have changed much, with the starlight in the night sky above and the electric lights from the street below, it looks like you're caught in a sea of stars.

"It doesn't feel bad."

Only a murmur was left in the wind, but the figure had disappeared, galloping over the city in staccato jumps.

No trace of the enemy was found, no murderous aura was felt, and no magic was felt.

But Arash wasn't too anxious, he just moved aimlessly...... No! Nor can it be completely said that this is aimless movement, because this is hunting, waiting for the prey to take the bait on its own, so according to the parlance of this era...... Should it be fishing?

Suddenly, a premonition of sharp fangs approaching the bait came to me.

Hooked!

Much faster than expected, is it because you are on patrol like yourself?

"It's true that the breath of a servant is completely different from the killing intent and magic power, and I feel the same way in other people's perceptions?"

These thoughts flashed through his mind, but they did not affect the movement of Arash's hand in the slightest, and he continued to move at a high speed of more than 150 kilometers per hour in mid-air, and on the other hand, he set up his longbow in a posture that did not change the height of his jump at all.

There is hardly any aiming action, just simply pull the bowstring and let it go!

The materialized bow and arrow condensed from the bowstring in an instant, and was fired.

One arrow.

Two arrows.

As soon as the bow and arrow were fired, it hit the figure that appeared hundreds of meters behind Arash almost at the same time as the breath was felt.

And Arash didn't stop after firing his two greeting arrows, and continued to attack from a distance.

Jump, shoot, jump, shoot.

The two figures moved between the roofs of the buildings at high speed, and Arash did not stop attacking, and the bows and arrows formed by the semi-automatic magic disappeared into the city's night sky one after another.

"Amazing, what a beautiful defense!"

Arash sighed with a whistle in his tone, which must have been a bad thing he had just learned since he appeared.

Relying on continuous long-range attacks, the enemy Servant does not show any intention of approaching, but in a way, the reason why the opponent is not approaching is because of the ongoing defense.

Arash was so confident in his bow and arrows that not many people in his time could catch them, even if they were just to say hello, but the enemy was no less impressive.

In such a high-speed movement, he was still not hit by a bow and arrow, and it can even be said that he did not even have a little bruise.

All the arrows fired were easily bounced away by the opponent with the weapon in his hand, not to mention fatal wounds, not even a little bruised.

And while remaining unscathed, he can still chase after himself, and he can even jump and move leisurely with speed.

It can be said that the opponent's method of dealing with long-range attacks is a little too sophisticated, and all the arrows are either avoided or destroyed before they are shot.

There are also arrows that are completely impossible to dodge and disappear before they hit the enemy.

"Isn't it just gone, it's burned? Is it some kind of magic or an inherent skill, is it an effect that is specific to magic? ”

Arash quickly analyzed it in his mind, and when he understood this, his continuous shooting could no longer be regarded as an attack, but only a containment to prevent an unknown enemy from approaching.

"So...... Do you want to get serious? ”

An idea suddenly crept into his head, but Arash immediately rejected the choice, neither serious nor serious.

Even if he didn't prepare a large number of physical arrows in advance today, he was able to reproduce his own stunt just by relying on his inherent skills, and as long as he shot arrows that could drown even the sky, the opponent's strange skill should not work.

After all, the concept of eliminating arrows one by one is completely different from eliminating tens of thousands of arrows at the same time.

If this were to be done, all the people who stayed in the night would be killed by themselves, and if there was a bad pool, the buildings below would be damaged, and countless people would die.

"Ah...... I see, I'm still myself. ”

At this moment, Arash immediately understood that there was something else that had not changed at all as it had been three thousand years ago, except for humans and the starry sky.

The flame flickering in his chest is indeed the same as when he was alive, that is, even if he becomes a servant, he is still himself.

Knowing this, Arash had a cheerful smile on his face.

However, he also figured it out, in such an environment, his serious way of carrying out a large number of long-range attacks could only be temporarily sealed.

In this way, you should attack from a long distance in a place where there are fewer people, such as a place like a mountain.

I don't know if there will be such an opportunity, but it is not suitable for this kind of place with too many people.

So...... Do you want to get the other person closer?

After thinking about it for a while, Arash decided on this idea, since he knew that such an attack would not have much effect on the other party, if he wanted to gather more information, he could only take the risk.

"Luckily, I'm still physically strong, and I should be able to try a dozen fights with each other."

Thinking so humbly in his own heart, Arash also stopped moving quickly.

The servants who had been following him seemed to sense his thoughts, and their already slow speed accelerated again, rushing to less than thirty meters of Arash in an instant.

However, the other party did not continue to get close, but stood on the roof of the building and watched him from afar.

"Unknown Servant......" Arash glanced at the other party's weapon, the red spear was too eye-catching, "It looks like you should be Lancer, the aura on this weapon is really eye-catching." ”

"That's right, but if you want to say something eye-catching, it should still be you, so big and showing your own aura, even if you want to seduce, it's too explicit." Cú Chulainn slung his spear over his shoulders and said in a smug voice.

"You're right." Arash nodded and didn't retort, after all, he did.

"It's funny, if I'm not mistaken, this should be your first battle in this Holy Grail War."

"Yes, are you trying to give me some advice?"

"Ah, that's not true, I just want to say that this is also my first battle since I was summoned, after all, my master is a very troublesome fellow, and has always practiced a conservative strategy."

Cú Chulainn swung the spear in his hand, threw out a few spear flowers, and assumed a fighting posture.

"So your luck is very bad, I've been holding back for a long time, and now I can't suppress my fighting spirit!"

"Are you actually this type of person? That's a real headache. Arash smiled bitterly and rubbed his head, "After all, you should know that for us, this level of skirmish should be indistinguishable from victory. ”

"Really? Not necessarily! ”

As the words fell, the servant with the red spear in his hand disappeared in place.

In the moment of stepping, Cú Chulainn integrated his steps, posture, breathing, and everything else, showing an amazing and wonderful combat quality, and in an instant, he pulled out a high speed that was enough to drag out the afterimage.

It was as if he had crossed the space directly and appeared in front of Arash.

Cú Chulainn didn't use any special combat skills, just a fairly ordinary thrust, but it was such a simple attack that had a terrifying effect with his superb combat skills and terrifying physical fitness.

The red spear in Cú Chulainn's hand suddenly disappeared from view, because he used the speed of his sprint to make the thrust enter a realm that was invisible to the naked eye.

Originally, the unconventional speed should have caused a storm of sound barriers, but Cúchulainn relied on his own skills without wasting the slightest bit of energy, and all fit into the most natural trajectory.

The throat, shoulder, eyebrows, heart, the spear in Cúchulainn's hand pierced these parts of the enemy in front of him without any loopholes, and it was a high-speed piercing that even the afterimage disappeared.

Clang!

A blinding spark bounced off in front of Arash's eyes, and he easily parried the first thrust with his longbow, followed by the second.

Bang bang!

Amid the constant sound of colliding metal, Arash pinned off every attack of Cúchulainn.

For an archer like him, eyesight is extremely important, and the speed of Cúchulainn's thrust is still not beyond the limits of his reflexes.

Suddenly, Arash began to stride, and instead of trying to distance himself in the face of the enemy's approaching attack, he took the initiative to move forward.

In the face of Arash's counterattack, Cu Chulainn's reaction was very simple, that is, he had to continue to attack like a beast, even if the distance was shortened, he would not stop.

For this two-meter-long spear, controlling the combat distance is the most necessary, and shortening the distance is a suicidal act.

Lancer battles are only fought if the distance is controlled at the level that he is best at, so theoretically, Cúchulainn, whose attack distance is constantly compressed, has no chance of winning.

That's common sense for ordinary people.

As the distance closed, Arashig became more and more difficult to block, and Cuchulainn's attack did not slow down, but became more and more violent.

The unflapped offensive seemed to have no room to return at all, and in the end, the overly dense attack forced Arash to retreat.

Clang!

Again he used his bow arm to block the attack, but the red spear approached the center of the brow again as if there was no gap between the attacks.

In this kind of pure skill contest, Cúchulainn's attacks are no longer purely based on thrusts, but will also be interspersed with large-scale sweeps or other attacks.

If you don't block or dodge in time, with the lightness of Arash's armor, you should be able to cut open your abdomen easily.

And in this case, there is a high-speed thrust hidden again, and once it penetrates the vital point, I am afraid that this battle will end directly.

Arash saw the lunge clearly, but did not look panicked, and instead approached the approaching spear with his other hand with his bare hand.

Boom!

Although Cu Chulainn had been careful to avoid the opponent's arm, the tremor that was transmitted from the palm of his hand gave him the illusion that the spear would come out of his hand, and the trajectory of the attack was also changed by this attack.

"Suffered!"

Cu Chulainn was shocked, and immediately carried out a wide sweep with his gun in both hands, trying to force Arash back.

Arash twisted his body, and with the help of the power of the bounce, the whole person seemed to be suspended in mid-air, dodging this sweep of Cúthalainn, and at the same time, in this short moment, Arash finally pulled out his longbow.

The arrows condensed by the magic instantly appeared on the bowstring, and in this way, within a meter of Cúchulainn, Arash drew his longbow to the full, aiming it at his head.

"Cut!"

The look on Cu Chulainn's face became extremely fierce for a moment, and instead of choosing to dodge or block at all, he pulled back his spear like a raging beast, and stabbed at Arash, who was unable to move in mid-air, with an aura that wanted to lose both.

Rumble!

The arrows and spears collided with a piercing roar, and at the last moment, Arash did not choose to die with the other party, but interrupted Cúchulainn's attack.

Cú Chulainn was knocked out by the terrifying force of his spear, and Arash retreated away from the other side with the help of the shockwave that erupted at close range.

As he retreated, three streamer-like arrows shot out of Arash's hand, completely blocking the opponent's dodge and flying towards Cuchulainn's vital point.

Bang Bang Bang!

Even in the process of rolling, Cú Chulainn was able to swing his spear quickly and shoot down the arrow with precision.

That's the ability of his inherent skill to avoid arrows, and as long as he sees a flying prop, he can't hit him.

So in a sense, he's the natural enemy of Archer's rank.

However, as the strongest warrior of the Kamidai, Arash's skills naturally do not stop there, even if he can't exert his full strength because he cares about the people around him, but his rapid-fire skills are enough to be amazing.

As soon as Cú Chulainn stabilized his body, he noticed several more streamers in front of him, and after that, more arrows had already been fired by Arash.
