The winter sun sets...
After having lunch at the restaurant in the amusement park, the three of us went to the shopping street and had dinner...
Wander around under the colorful neon lights.
"Hey, Jian, let's go see the sea as the last stop today."
Today I saw a lot of scenery I had never seen with my own eyes, which made Irisviel's mood extremely high. While walking, Irisviel made a new proposal.
Irisviel and the others already had some information about Fuyuki City before coming here, so they knew that as long as they walked across the Fuyuki Bridge across the Mito River, they would see a large seaside park there.
It was late at night, and the three of us were walking slowly on the quiet road...
The voices of Irisviel and Artoria talking to each other could be heard from time to time. After half a day, Artoria finally stopped looking coldly at me.
The wind from the sea blew over, blowing Irisviel's long silver hair, and her hair danced like the tail of a meteor...
Artoria's dull hair kept swaying in the wind.
"The sea is really beautiful."
Listening to the sound of the heavy waves, Irisviel smiled innocently, and her snow-white cheeks were dyed with a faint blush due to excitement. It was definitely the most beautiful scenery on the coastline.
"Are you happy today?"
I lifted up Irisviel's silver hair that was blown by the sea breeze from her face...
Looking at her charming face, she said softly.
Irisviel leaned gently against my chest, feeling the warmth in my arms and the strong heartbeat coming from my chest.
Arturia looked at the two of us silently, feeling like she was a big light bulb. Even others could feel Irisviel's deep attachment and love for me. The Master really lost miserably.
Suddenly, Artoria took a few steps forward to protect Irisviel and me...
Seeing Artoria's actions, Irisviel raised her head and looked at me in confusion, and I nodded.
"It looks like the enemy is coming, right, Saber."
Now that the enemy was coming, Irisviel got up from my arms and prepared for battle, while I shrugged, what an ignorant enemy.
About a hundred meters away, the enemy exuded an astonishing momentum.
But she didn't show up...
Instead, he maintained his spiritual state and gradually moved away.
"It seems that I want to change the battlefield."
I looked at the distant heroic spirit with interest. Even in the spirit form, I could still see the figure of the other party, but I didn't expect that it wasn't a dual-gun user.
With our own strength, we naturally don't need the other party, so we followed suit. Irisviel pointed to her pocket from behind. I nodded, and then she reached in and pressed the button in the device.
That was the communication device left by Emiya Kiritsugu. Irisviel just asked me if I wanted to notify him...
There was nothing to hide in this battle, so I asked her to press the button.
Connecting to the east of Waterfront Park is a stretch of Warehouse Street...
"Um."
There are almost no people in this area at night, and the dim lights illuminating the streets make the scene even more empty.
The enemy's servant also showed up after arriving here, wrapped in black armor...
But judging from the graceful figure that cannot be concealed by her armor, Shi is a female knight, riding a black horse with white mane.
She also held a long black striped spear in her hand, which was also covered with red and black crystal ridges of different lengths.
Artoria looked at the other party solemnly.
Although I have confidence in my own strength...
But the aura and strong magic power exuded by the other party should not be underestimated.
"I didn't expect that the first heroic spirit I met would be you."
A mature and awe-inspiring voice came from under the helmet.
"You know me?"
The person who can recognize her should be a person from the same era, but I have no impression of her, such a strong person.
If she had seen him before, it would have left an impression. After hearing what the other party said, Artoria thought about whether she had seen him before.
"Who knows."
"Yes."
"In that case, let's get started."
The other party was vague, so Artoria would not stupidly introduce herself to her family. She burst out with powerful magic power and stirred up a whirlwind of airflow, which enveloped her petite body.
In an instant, Artoria's whole body was wrapped in silver armor, and her magic power turned into armor and gauntlets. Fully armed, she exuded an aura that was no weaker than her opponent's.
"saber."
Irisviel looked a little nervously at the two people who were now preparing to attack, and she was keenly aware of the strong aura emanating from them.
Even because of me, she is much stronger than before...
But in such a battle between top heroes, she still didn't have much room to intervene.
But Irisviel glanced at me beside her, and her nervousness instantly relaxed a little. With me here, she didn't have to worry too much.
"Be careful, Saber. I will use magic to help you if necessary."
"Well, leave the other party to me, but I'm a little worried about why the other party's master didn't show up."
Hearing Irisviel's words, Artoria nodded,
"Um."
"Maybe he has some conspiracy, so you and Jian should be careful, Aili, I will leave my back to you."
"I understand, Saber, don't worry, I will protect Jian."
Although he is a little weak against top heroic spirits...
But for a master who is a magician, Irisviel is not afraid of his strength. After saying this, she winked at me playfully.
As soon as Irisviel finished speaking, Arturia had already taken steps and quickly approached the female knight on horseback, and a fierce battle began in an instant.
Cracks appeared on the ground after being stepped on by the silver armored boots. The air pressure brought by the swing directly cut off the street lamp. Arturia swung her sword at the female knight at super high speed...
The female knight in black armor on the horse also calmly and quickly fired back with her gun.
A wild storm raged on the deserted Warehouse Street, destroying everything around it. Just a hand-to-hand fight between two people would destroy an entire street.
"This is a battle between servants."
Irisviel looked at the ongoing battle in amazement, as if a fantasy world was reappearing before her eyes.
At this time, Artoria also had a lot of surprises in her mind.
Although riding a horse...
But it shouldn't be the rider. Judging from the opponent's proficiency with guns, it's more likely to be the lancer.
But this is not what surprised Artoria. What surprised her was that the opponent's fighting method gave her a familiar feeling for some reason...
This feeling does not explain her every move...
Instead, it seemed like he was fighting another version of himself with a gun.
"What's wrong, Saber, your attack has no effect."
After another clash of swords and guns...
The two separated slightly.
At this time, the female knight on the horse said slightly teasing words.
"Isn't this the same for you?"
Her directness can be said to be clear at a glance, even though her sword is still wrapped in the Wind King's barrier...
But once they fight each other, they should be able to guess what kind of weapon it is.
"Not anymore."
The female knight in black armor kicked her legs, and the black horse immediately launched a rapid charge...
Accompanied by the momentum of a thousand horses, they headed straight for Artoria.
It was too late to dodge. Arturia had been fighting constantly to prevent the other party from charging.
However, the opponent still seized the opportunity, knocked her back and immediately launched an offensive.
Artoria had no choice but to block the opponent's spear with her sword. The powerful impact drove Artoria back, and her armored boots pressed against the ground made two long scratches on the ground. .
Knowing that this was not going to work, Artoria used the red and black crystal edge on the spear, tilted the sword in her hand, leaned against the bottom of the crystal edge, and used the momentum of the spear to slide directly away from the female knight's body, her body next to hers. After spinning in a circle from behind to relieve the force, he immediately pursued the female knight from behind.
The female knight also knew that if she turned back now, she would be directly hit by Saber, so she drove her horse forward and rushed forward. When she came to the container, she kicked her horse and jumped onto the container.
By the time Artoria also jumped onto the container, she had already turned around and raised her spear, ready to receive Artoria's slash from the air.
The sound of "zheng" weapons clashing suddenly sounded...
This time Artoria didn't give the female knight a chance. After landing on the container, she immediately launched a sprint.
The battle between the two became more intense. The magic shock wave emitted from the female knight's spear caused Artoria to directly untie the enchantment on the sword...
The violent wind set off at that moment directly collided with the magic shock wave, making a loud noise.
"Jian, Saber, is she okay?"
Such an anxious battle situation made Irisviel a little worried about Artoria's situation.
"It should be fine. Besides, there's still me."
The strength of Arturia and the female knight on horseback are almost the same. Who can win can only depend on the performance on the spot. At present, the two are still going back and forth.
At this time, Artoria's holy sword has been exposed, and the golden blade is intertwined with the pitch-black spear...
As the two people passed each other, the flying red blood flowers bloomed brightly and then dissipated in an instant.
A thin wound was cut on Artoria's arm by the red and black crystal edge...
The armor on the female knight's calf was also damaged with a crack, and bright red marks could also be seen from the crack.
Irisviel, who had been paying attention to the changes on the battlefield, immediately used healing magic to heal Artoria's wounds. The master opposite also quickly healed the female knight's wounds. It seemed that the master opposite was a powerful magician. division.
There have been several confrontations between the two that left each other injured.
But they were just scratches, not serious injuries, and they were basically cured by healing magic.
If the Noble Phantasm is not used, it seems that it will take some time to determine the winner.
Despite going through a fierce battle, Artoria's fighting spirit became even higher. In the first battle of the Holy Grail War, she encountered a comparable opponent.
How can a swordsman not have high morale?
The holy swords and spears of the two clashed again, the air was disturbed again, and the sound of weapons handover kept ringing. At this moment, Artoria suddenly separated from the female knight in tacit understanding...
Then there was a thunder.
I saw a flying object drawing a straight line in the sky, heading straight for this side, and scattering purple lightning sparks in the night sky, rushing directly into the open space between Arturia and the female knight.
"Both sides put away their weapons...
In front of this king! "With a calm roar, the piercing eyes of the strong man on the carriage seemed to exude the aura of a king, not afraid of the momentum of the sword and spear point.
Needless to say, Artoria and the female knight will not put away their weapons just because of this new heroic spirit...
Instead, he stood ready and ready...
But they had no idea of continuing to fight for the time being.
"My name is Iskandar the Conqueror. I participated in this Holy Grail War and obtained the rank of Rider."
Hearing what the strong man said...
Arturia and Irisviel's expressions suddenly became strange...
The most restless person was the Master sitting next to the strong man.
"What are you thinking about, idiot."
The boy named Weber grabbed Rider's coat tightly and said in panic.
"You are fighting each other to get the Holy Grail...
I have one thing to ask you before you fight. I don't know what expectations you each have for the Holy Grail.
But think about it now, is your wish more weighty than the ambition that encompasses heaven and earth? "
Rider or Iskandar ignored Weber's protest and glanced at Lancer and Saber on the left and right and asked directly.
"What exactly do you want to say?"
Arturia frowned slightly and did not directly answer Iskandar's question.
The female knight riding on the black horse was even more straightforward. She turned her horse around with a sneer and disappeared into spirit. I looked at the female knight's disappearing figure with an inexplicable look in her eyes.
"It seems that Lancer is a very straightforward person."
The female knight left the scene directly, and even Iskandar felt a little embarrassed.
But he quickly adjusted.
"Saber, what I mean is, when I come to this battlefield, do you have any intention of giving me the Holy Grail? If you give me the Holy Grail, I will treat you all as such and share the joy of conquering the world with you. "
"You hindered my duel with the female knight just to state these jokes?"
"Artoria looked at Iskandar with a serious face...
For her who is serious...
This so-called proposal itself is extremely unpleasant.
Feeling Saber's eyes full of number one, Iskandar muttered in confusion...
While unconsciously pressing his temples with his hands, he made a helpless gesture...
But his majestic sitting posture did not waver at all.
"Stop talking!"
Feeling that Iskandar was about to say flattering words, Arturia immediately interrupted.
"After all, I am the king of Britain, and it is impossible for me to surrender to others."
"Oh? The King of Britain? Could it be..."
Iskandar raised his brows high, apparently having guessed Artoria's identity.
"Well, since Saber has rejected your proposal...
So rider, do you want to fight next? "
In order to match my words, Artoria raised her sword at the same time.
The battle just now didn't count the amount of consumption, and it was fully capable of fighting.
"Then our negotiations broke down. It's such a pity. It's such a pity."
Iskandar was a little surprised as he looked at me leisurely between the two kings, as if he was not affected at all.
"I'm still wondering why you stole my holy relic. It turns out you want to participate in the Holy Grail War yourself, Mr. Webber Velvet."
Suddenly a voice intervened, presumably it was Master Lancer who had been watching the battle without making a sound.
Weber shuddered when he heard someone calling his name viciously. He already knew who the owner of that voice was.
If he is a lecturer with a status as high as Clock Tower, he is also from a famous family.
Even if the holy relic is stolen, other heroic spirit holy relics can still be prepared.
Put it this way...
In this land of fuyuki.
Even if that man is standing here as Weber's opponent or enemy this time, there is nothing incredible about it.
"What a pity. I wanted to make this lovely student like you, Weber, happy. Prisoners like you should have a stable life that only belongs to mortals."
Hearing this, why do I feel like you are a gay? It seems that even if the servant has changed, the master has not changed, Kenneth El-Melloi.
"It seems that Rider and Lancer's masters are old acquaintances, and Iskandar doesn't seem to have any intention of fighting...
Then we will take our leave first and not disturb your reminiscing. "
The female knight has left, and I have no interest in watching a few grown men chatting here.
Seeing that I really want to leave...
Saber and another silver-haired woman were also about to leave with me, but Iskandar couldn't help but stop him.
Artoria still looked at Rider warily, and as soon as Rider launched an attack, she would immediately retaliate.
"Come out! There must be someone else.
The accomplices watching from hiding in the darkness. "
Iskandar's words made both Artoria and Irisviel look surprised.
"What's wrong with you? Rider."
Facing Saber who asked him, Iskandar gave a thumbs up with a smile on his face.
"Saber, the battle you had with Lancer just now was really exciting. The swords and halberds made such a clear clashing sound, I'm afraid more than one person was attracted."
After saying that, Rider wanted to send the deafening sound to every corner around him and shouted loudly again.
"Poor, really pitiful...
The heroes gathered in Fuyuki...
See the courage shown by Saber and Lancer here.
Don't you have any thoughts? It's so cowardly to have a real name worth bragging about but keep peeking. "
After laughing loudly, Rider tilted his head and mouth with a fearless expression, and finally looked around with provocative eyes.
"The heroic spirits invited to the Holy Grail War.
Gather here now. You cowards who are afraid of even showing up. Don't blame me, the conquering king Iskandar, for insulting you. Please give me some enlightenment. "
Rider's passionate speech reached the ears of several Masters and Heroic Spirits who were secretly observing. Everyone's reaction was different. The first one to react was a burst of golden light...
Then the fourth servant appeared.
At the top of the street lamp about ten meters above the ground, a figure in golden shining armor appeared, and the Street Lamp King appeared...
Seeing the newly appeared servant acting pretentious, I couldn't help complaining in my heart, but I didn't leave in a hurry and waited for the development of the situation.
"There are two people who don't take me seriously and claim to be king without knowing how high the sky is. Two of them appeared overnight."
As soon as he opened his mouth, the golden heroic spirit curled his lips in great displeasure, showing his contempt for the other two heroic spirits.
"Even if you say something rude to me, Iskandar is still a famous conqueror in the world."
The rider didn't seem to expect that someone with a tougher attitude than him would appear, and he rubbed his chin in confusion.
"The hero who can truly be called a king, I am the only one in the world, and the rest are just some bastards."
The glittering heroic spirit simply made a declaration that was more than an insult.
"Since you are talking about this, how about you tell me your name first? If you are also a king, you won't be afraid of your own reputation, right?"
Iskandar made such a joke, and the golden heroic spirit's eyes became more and more arrogant as they stared at the strong man in front of them.
"Are you asking me? A mere bastard asking me as a king? If I let you have the honor of worshiping me...
But you don't know my name, and there's nothing I can do about your ignorance. "
After the golden heroic spirit made this assertion, a strange flame-like aura slowly rose on his left and right sides. In the next moment, the sword suddenly appeared in the empty sky with a dazzling brilliance.
The unsheathed swords and guns were all decorated in a dazzling way, and exuded magical power that could not be hidden. They were obviously not ordinary weapons, they could only be noble phantoms.
Weber was scared, and Lancer's invisible Kenneth also held his breath...
In the distance, Emiya Kiritsugu and Kuu Maiya were also tense.
Just then...
A torrent of magic power blew from nowhere. The upward-rolling magic power gradually solidified into a huge figure, and the white mist enveloped the huge black figure.
Almost everyone present looked at the newly-appeared servants with vigilance, except for a certain gilgamesh. His eyes showed no vigilance and suspicion, and he just looked down at the newly-appeared servants with pure murderous intent.
Because the newly appeared servant is looking at the shining golden servant with indifferent eyes...
For the Golden Heroic Spirit, such direct gaze is unbearable humiliation.
Now for the golden heroic spirits...
This new follower is even harder to forgive than Rider who claims to be the king.
The swords and spears floating around the golden heroic spirit changed the direction of the attack. The direction pointed by the sword tip and the spear head was the heroic spirit wrapped in steam that was the golden heroic spirit's top priority.
"I'm going to cut you into pieces to satisfy the hatred in my heart, bastard."
Along with the grim declaration, guns and swords flew through the air.
Throwing the Noble Phantasm as recklessly as throwing stones.
It was a very rough throw at this time, but it was still extremely destructive. The road surface was shattered, and the steam surrounding the newly-appeared heroic spirit was blown away, revealing the true face of the heroic spirit inside.
With a huge body glowing with metallic luster, a huge robot appeared. Steam was emitted from the air holes of the cold armor. It held a huge serrated blade in its hand, and a red eye was exposed on the armor on its head.
Facing the swords and guns coming straight at him, the robot hero did not dodge or slash with his sword...
Instead, he just stood there...
Then a large amount of steam was discharged, and the strong airflow caused directly changed the trajectory of several swords, guns and precious phantoms that rushed towards them, falling to the ground next to them and exploding.
The surroundings of the golden heroic spirit once again shone brightly...
This time, a new group of Noble Phantasms suddenly appeared behind him, totaling sixteen.
"You rude bastard, show me how many of my Noble Phantasms you can handle."
The golden heroic spirit or archer gave an order...
The group of Noble Phantasms floating in the void rushed to kill the robot heroic spirit.
Facing so many groups of Noble Phantasms...
This time, the robot heroic spirit did not release the steam shock on the spot. The red eyes flashed red, and the robot's arm holding the giant blade spurted out a large amount of steam. Driven by the steam, the thick mechanical arm waved its sawtooth. Giant blade.
The serrated giant blade, with the momentum of sweeping across thousands of armies, collided with the group of Noble Phantasms that shot towards it...
Under the acceleration of the steam, the giant blade swung upwards and downwards once, sweeping all the Noble Phantasms that came over it with a roaring explosion.
"That heroic spirit seems to have good power in wielding the giant blade...
Coupled with the push from those qi...
It's a step up in strength and speed. "
The rider on the edge of the battlefield analyzed it with ease...
Arturia, on the other hand, carefully observed the battle between the two heroic spirits.
With a loud roar, the last of the sixteen Noble Phantasms was knocked to the ground...
In the diffuse dust, the robot hero remained standing, while the warehouses, streets, and surrounding buildings all collapsed around him.
The serrated giant blade held by the robot hero's right hand has some bumps and bumps.
The explosion that occurred just now when the Noble Phantasm hit it.
Even if the waving airflow slows down the impact of the explosion...
But it still caused some damage to the thick giant blade.
"Very well, your disrespect to me is enough to make you die thousands of times. You bastard standing there, I will kill you to pieces."
Archer is too angry.
Now his eyes were slightly widened, and he roared while glaring at the robot hero.
Another group of weapons appeared around him, causing the space to twist...
There are thirty-two shining Noble Phantasms this time...
Even Rider was surprised by this amount and fell into silence.
The robot heroic spirit defused the continuous attacks of sixteen Noble Phantasms...
But now the Golden Heroic Spirit has taken out more Noble Phantasms.
At this time, most people present could not imagine it.
At this time, Tosaka Tokiomi, who had been observing secretly, could no longer sit still.
It was still too early to fight with all his strength. He gritted his teeth while staring at the armor on his right hand.
At this moment, Archer's gaze, which was staring at the robot heroic spirit, suddenly turned around and looked toward the southeast...
Over there is the hilly area of Miyama Town and the high-end residences next to it...
And the Tohsaka family is there.
"Are you using your highness's words of advice to calm the king's anger? You are really becoming more and more bold, tokiomi."
Archer lowered his voice and said this sentence...
The countless Noble Phantasms around him hid their radiance and immediately disappeared without a trace.
"Save your life, bastard."
Although the golden heroic spirit's face is still angry...
But the murderous aura in his eyes had dissipated, but his proud expression remained unwavering, looking at all the servants present with a look of disdain.
"Bastards, stay away from shady people next time we meet. Only real heroes will see me."
After the archer finally made a big statement, he turned into a spirit and disappeared.
After the golden heroic spirit disappeared, the robot heroic spirit seemed to have lost its purpose and turned into a spirit and left the scene, leaving us and Rider alone.
"Now that the show is over, let's go, rider."
The chaotic battlefield returned to calm, and my voice rang out.
Then let's fight passionately next time. "
The successive heroic spirits exited the stage, which obviously dampened Iskandar's interest. He took the master boy and directly summoned the ox cart from before...
Accompanied by the roar of thunder and lightning, Rider's chariot drove towards the southern sky,
"Huh, it was such a fierce battle...
I was very nervous watching on the side. "
At this time, Irisviel came out of her nervous mood and took a long breath.
"Yes, the Holy Grail War is really a battle that people are looking forward to."
Artoria said calmly...
But her heart is far less peaceful than her appearance.
The flame of fighting as a hero has been burning brightly.
"Okay, let's go back to Einzbern's stronghold first.
It's very late now, and not getting a good rest will be detrimental to the battle. "
Irisviel and Artoria nodded one after another...
Then the three of us left the ruined battlefield.
At the same time, in a 24-hour dessert shop, two cute blond girls were sitting. One was eating dessert with satisfaction, and the other was looking into the distance through the window with interest.
"It seems that tonight's party is over, it's a pity that I couldn't catch up.
But this way I look forward to the moment when I meet him more and more. "
The beautiful blonde girl placed her green-white jade fingers on her moist cherry lips, showing an expectant and excited smile.
The beautiful girl who was eating dessert silently watched her master's excitement while eating. She also mourned for him for a second, and then continued to devote herself to the great cause of eating desserts.
