Chapter 36 The Dual-Gun User and the Knight King
Bottom of Fuyuki Bridge
Under the magic of the idlers, no one noticed that there were four figures at the bottom of the bridge. One of them was a red-haired giant with a good wine beside him, and he was chatting happily with a young man with golden eyes and white hair. The girl in kimono stared closely at the image screen in mid-air. Behind her, the thin young man was holding sake and vomiting his soul.
They are the masters and servants of the Caster team and the Rider team.
The image light curtain in mid-air is showing an anxious battle situation somewhere.
It was Warehouse Street next to the Seaside Park. In the rows of modular warehouses, the fierce wind caused by the confrontation between two figures destroyed the nearby cargo containers to pieces.
Two figures, one holding a gun and the other holding a sword.
The man holding the gun has an upright appearance, with a high bridge of nose, stern eyebrows, strong facial contours, and delicate lips that make people feel strict and abstinent, but the gentle and melancholy eyes hidden in his eyes make people strongly appreciate his masculine charm, especially It's the tear mole under his left eye that makes his eyes look even more charming.
His weapons are quite eye-catching. He carries a long gun about two meters long in his right hand, and a short gun about one-third the length of the other in his left hand.
"Servant Lancer, is he a dual-gun wielder?" The red-haired man rubbed his chin thoughtfully, "The two guns are wrapped from handle to blade by a kind of cloth that looks like a charm. I don’t know the true identity.”
"There aren't many dual-gun users in history." Shuo Yue had the advantage of foresight, but she didn't intend to tell the truth. She just said, "But since he dares to take the initiative to reveal his aura and invite a fight, he must have two brushes."
"In that case, isn't the heroic spirit who responded to his provocation and chose to fight a strong man?" Iskandar raised his glass and turned his eyes to Saber, who was confronting Lancer, with a look of amazement on his face. color.
The girl knight with soft and snow-white skin, blond hair and blue eyes holds an invisible sword. The hair on her head is raised high, and the armor shines with silver and azure light.
"I didn't expect that she turned out to be a beautiful little girl."
"That's true." Looking at that person, Shuo Yue's eyes brightened slightly, and she nodded with deep approval, "She is as beautiful as an elf."
"But what kind of weapon is she holding in her hand? It looks like a sword when she holds it, but why can't she see the sword body clearly?"
"Just like Lancer wrapped his two guns, Saber must have done this with the purpose of concealing his identity." Sakuyue smiled and clinked glasses with Iskandar.
"If you don't know what the weapon looks like, it will be very detrimental to Lancer."
"That is something that warriors have to consider. We just need to look down with peace of mind."
"That's right, come on, drink!"
Under the moonlight, after Saber and Lancer talked for a moment, they started fighting without hesitation.
"Oh, it's started, it's started." Iskandar's eyes widened, and Shuo Yue also held his breath.
This is a cruel duel that has become extinct in modern times and can only happen in that distant era when the myth has not completely disappeared.
Knights in armor and warriors with double guns fought hard against each other amidst the sharp edges and splashing sparks.
Although it was a collision of cold weapons, the magic of the collision and the powerful airflow that followed seemed to destroy everything, but it was not inferior to modern hot weapons at all.
It seemed as if what the two servants were holding were not guns and swords at all, but some more violent weapons.
The feet that stepped onto the ground crushed the earth.
The air pressure brought by the weapon was used to cut off the street lamps.
Even the dynamic vision enhanced by magic can hardly keep up with the movements of the two men, and can only judge the intensity of the battle from the occasional scattered aftermath.
The iron sheet on the outer wall of the warehouse could not withstand the raging violence, peeling off and twisting, like tin foil blown away by air waves.
The wind howled.
Facing a space that is completely opposite to the physical laws of the world, the surrounding air let out a nervous wail.
A wild storm raged on the deserted warehouse street, destroying and trampling everything.
A hand-to-hand fight between just two people would destroy an entire street.
Seeing such a dazzling sight, the conquering king forgot to drink. The young man with white hair and golden eyes was filled with fighting spirit. The girl who came as a Caster had a solemn face, while the thin imperial concubine opened her mouth and lost her composure in shock.
This is the Holy Grail War, a great cause to recreate the world of myths and legends.
Thunder tore through the sky, stormy waves shattered the earth, and the imaginary world miraculously became reality.
This is the battle between servants.
There was movement from an object in her arms, which brought Shuo Yue back from the fierce battle and activated the magic of communication.
"Shuoyue, I have arrived at Warehouse Street and am hiding under the warehouse now."
"Did you do the disguise?"
"Of course, according to what you said, it not only masks the aura, but also eliminates the heat induction... But Sakusuki, will Tohsaka Tokiomi's servants come here? Why did I see Saber and Lancer fighting? "
"Superficial, too superficial, Kariya."
"???"
Sitting cross-legged at the bottom of the Fuyuki Bridge, Shuo Yue smiled, and different scenes appeared in his eyes, which were the surveillances he had already arranged.
Coming here a year in advance, how could he not prepare?
"Above your head, Lancer's Master is observing the entire battlefield; on the crane, there is a shadow servant who is pretending to be dead and spying. As for the magician killer who is ready to snipe, and me and Rider who are squatting under the Fuyuki Bridge... count how many people are here tonight?"
"I..." Kariya was stunned, and after a long while, he burst out with a swear word, "Fuck (Chinese and Japanese)."
"And since Assassin, as an ally, has arrived, how far can Tokiomi and his servants be?"
"I understand, Sakutsuki, I will be ready, as long as Tokiomi's servants come..." Kariya pulled down the hood of his sportswear, and the fire of revenge burned in his eyes.
"I will defeat him!"
"No, Kariya." Sakutsuki smiled, his golden eyes deep, "Before that, do me a favor..."
And on the battlefield where the two servants clashed, the situation quietly changed.
————
"The game is over, Lancer."
A cold voice came from nowhere and echoed all around. As if dissatisfied with the stalemate, Lancer's master ordered,
"Don't let this battle drag on. That Saber is a strong enemy. Get rid of her as soon as possible - I allow you to use the Noble Phantasm."
The invisible magician's words made Saber's expression stern.
The Noble Phantasm - Lancer's master finally urged him to show the true weapon of the Servant.
"I understand, my Lord."
Lancer changed his previous elegant demeanor, his tone became serious and low, and he changed his gun holding posture.
He threw the short gun in his left hand at his feet without hesitation.
"So... that spear is Lancer's...!?"
Under Saber's gaze, the binding spell loosened and fell from the spear in Lancer's right hand.
It was a crimson spear. The powerful magic power was completely different from before, and it emanated faintly from the tip of the gun, like an ominous mirage.
"——You heard it too, I'm going to kill first."
Lancer finally held the killer weapon with both hands and said in a low voice.
Saber also lowered the long sword in her hand, calculating the distance between her and Lancer more carefully than before.
With the advantage of the invisible sword, she had repeatedly gained the upper hand in the previous battle, but her killing moves were cleverly resolved by Lancer, so she understood how superb her opponent's skills were.
This man is very good!
And Lancer also leaned down, like a hunting eagle, with excitement in his eyes.
Only he remembered how much effort he had put into the training of the double guns, but from the first attack to now, he had already done his best to force Saber back and be careful not to let her get close to him, and he couldn't turn defense into offense at all.
Whether it was the sword that couldn't see the true nature or the person with superb martial arts, they brought unprecedented pressure to Lancer.
This woman is really amazing!
But both Saber and Lancer knew that such a stalemate would be broken like a bubble under the power of the Noble Phantasm.
The effects that the Noble Phantasm can exert can be roughly divided into two types: one is to release the killing power while shouting the real name; the other is to use the attributes that the weapon already has as a Noble Phantasm.
What exactly is Lancer's red spear?
Saber intuitively thinks it should be the latter. From Lancer's posture, he intends to continue fighting with Saber, and he doesn't feel the pressure of the next move to decide the outcome.
"..."
The two of them are still silent, but the atmosphere is doubly tense. Both sides move their feet little by little to shorten the distance.
——Lancer was the first to take action.
Compared with the previous gun dance that was as flexible as a divine skill, this straight thrust seemed much more rigid. Lancer seemed to have stopped calculating how to keep a distance from Saber's long sword hidden under the "Wind King Barrier". No, he even seemed to have given up his own defense.
Saber of course responded with the most common method, and she easily blocked Lancer's spear with the sword in her hand. Lancer's spear was not particularly heavy or fast, but just a very ordinary stab. But...
The strange phenomenon began with a gust of wind.
Centered on the lance and sword biting each other, a whirlwind without reason swept up.
"What!?"
In the sudden golden light, Saber's exclamation and Lancer's triumphant declaration sounded together:
"Your hidden sword has been exposed, Saber!"
The station message has been received, so feel free to follow.
