Chapter 21: Lancer’s Noble Phantasm
The greed caused by the Holy Grail has driven many career chasers and speculators to Fuyuki City to seek treasure.
At the same time, the Spiritual Disaster Countermeasures Department will also experience a bumper harvest. After all, what those people are thinking, how could Japan not think about it?
In fact, several Japanese departments have now settled in Fuyuki City in cooperation with officials, and are preparing to catch those who sneak in one by one.
As for the Holy Grail, the higher-ups also sent people to look for it, but the investment is not large. After all, what happened in Fuyuki City is very clear here.
Sending people to search is just a matter of luck to see if they can find any relevant clues.
Of course, if the Holy Grail really exists, that's another matter.
——VIDEO——
The scene switches from the Rider combination.
Saber speaks: "I've almost understood your Noble Phantasm. Will magic-shaped objects be ineffective in front of your weapon?"
Lancer is slightly surprised to hear this, and then smiles indifferently: "So, you really have sharp intuition and observation! Have you already figured out the capabilities of this Noble Phantasm after such a brief exchange? Then, do you want to use your true strength now? The next one will determine the outcome with its strength."
"It's really time to decide the winner." As Saber speaks, she inadvertently glances at the spear that has been discarded at Lancer's feet after the two fought, unconsciously they return to their original positions.
If there was no deliberate arrangement by Lancer, no one would believe it.
However, Saber seems indifferent and pretends not to know.
At this moment, she changes her previous posture, holding the invisible sword with both hands at her right waist. The hidden means of Invisible Air is released. The wind roars, magic power surges, and the golden sword appears.
At the same time, the narration is sounded.
[Saber uses another skill, A-Rank Magic Burst. This is to release a large amount of magic power in a short time to strengthen her weapon and body, achieving specifications far beyond normal. At high ranks, even a short stick will become very powerful when strengthened with Magic Burst]
As the narration ends, Saber suddenly attacks with a speed that is far faster than before, slashing at Lancer with all her strength. The golden sword also condenses terrifying magic power at this moment, and is about to break out.
At this moment, Lancer grins with a smile. Slow motion is used in the video, and all movements are slowed down, allowing the audience to see every detail clearly.
At the same time, Lancer's voice is heard: "You made a mistake, Saber, there doesn't have to be only one Noble Phantasm!"
At the same time, his left leg suddenly hooks the short spear to the ground. At this moment, the piece of cloth used to hide the short spear decays under the wave of magic power, revealing the true appearance of the spear.
This is a short metal weapon that is entirely yellow and made of an unknown metal. It also has intricate writings and patterns on it.
However, everyone doesn't have time to complain, because the tense battle situation has aroused everyone's hearts. Pairs of nervous and hopeful eyes stare at the light screen, without even blinking, for fear of missing it.
Under the effect of slow motion, people can clearly see every detail of Lancer and Saber, and the sand and rocks flying around them are also clearly visible, giving a dream-like feeling.
Viewers have to say that Saber is very beautiful and Lancer is very handsome. They belong to the standard combination of handsome men and beautiful women, when such people fight, it also gives a pleasant feeling.
Then, in slow motion, Lancer grabs his yellow short spear with his left hand, achieving the posture of a red long spear in his right hand and a yellow short spear in his left hand.
At this moment, Saber arrives and slashes directly with the Holy Sword in her hand.
At the same time, Lancer uses the yellow spear in his left hand to cut off Saber who is attacking forward.
If Saber continues to attack, she will hit the yellow short spear.
Therefore, Saber has to dodge at this critical moment, which also causes her slashing movement to slow down the impact. Lancer's red spear in his right hand blocks and directs the terrifying slash of the Holy Sword to the other side, while the yellow short spear stabs Saber's left hand.
*Pu-chi!*
The slash released by the magic power explodes as soon as the slash is done, forming a golden torrential blow that immediately explodes the ground next to Lancer, sending sand and rocks flying all over the sky.
However, Lancer doesn't suffer any damage. On the contrary, Saber is scratched on her left hand at this moment. As the slash is completed, she quickly stumbles away from Lancer and jumps to a safe area.
On her right hand, a clear wound can be seen, but there is armor on her arm, so the wound is not very deep, but the wound is still bleeding red.
When Irisviel sees this, her heart starts to tremble, just like all the viewers who care about Saber in the real world, they are very worried at this moment.
However, the audience in the real world can only watch, while Irisviel can help Saber. She immediately shouts, "Saber, I will heal you."
Then she clasps her hands together, and her body emits a faint green light, which is clearly healing.
At the same time, Lancer also shows a bloody wound on his left arm, which then emits green light and heals in an instant.
Master Lancer's voice is heard: "Very good, Lancer, now, deal with Saber!"
Lancer smiles and says: "Thank you for your help, Master, I will definitely win for you!"
Seeing this, Saber realizes that the wound on her hand is still not healed. She turns to Irisviel, whose expression becomes a little frightened and entangled. After thinking for a moment, she asks, "Irisviel, is the healing magic ineffective?"
Irisviel: "It's useless. I've clearly used it, so you should have healed..."
Saber: "Really..."
Turning her head and looking at Lancer, "Then, it must be the reason for your Noble Phantasm!"
Lancer smiles, holding the spear in both hands, and places the red spear on his shoulder casually: "You can see that magical objects will be restrained when facing Gáe Buidhe. In any situation, you are too hasty to launch a decisive attack on me."
"Even if you wear armor, you can't defend against Gáe Buidhe!"
As he speaks, he raises the yellow short spear in his left hand, showing off as the winner, as if he already has victory in his hands.
After hearing this, Saber calmly raises her left hand and looks at her bleeding wrist, then looks at Lancer again: "So, is it the cursed weapon that is said to never heal after being stabbed?"
"The red spear that cuts magic, the yellow spear that curses, the mole in the right tear, plus the action of using a spear is more like swordsmanship. I already know your identity – a member of the strongest knight Fiona, Diarmuid Ua Duibhne, who bears the title Diarmuid of the Love Spot."
"It seems I should feel flattered. I didn't expect to fight against you."
❀❀❀
In the real world, many people are confused. Although Saber looks very strong, not many people know who Diarmuid is.
However, there is a search engine, so many people instantly know the answer.
Among them, the fastest is undoubtedly the officials of various countries. They have been preparing professional teams for a long time. They not only know who Diarmuid is for the first time, but they have also collected all his life stories, character analysis, stories. Heritage, etc., it can be said that Diarmuid is clearly analyzed from the perspective of history and mythology.
Of course, ordinary people just watch the excitement, while experts are watching. Although many people know Lancer's true identity, they still pay more attention to the injured Saber.
Many people in the Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Department feel that Saber is too reckless. She rashly launched a fierce attack before fully understanding the details of the enemy.
It's just that because Artoria is here, it's difficult for everyone to complain. Only the childish Illya can't help but complain: "Isn't that King Arthur too impulsive? Why did she suddenly attack like this? Just like the sorceress girl in anime who suddenly impulsively and doesn't care about the consequences..."
Her straightforward comment makes many people present laugh.
However, Artoria is not angry. Instead, she continues to stare at the image on the light screen and says confidently: "No, it's not impulsive, nor is it underestimating the enemy. If it was the king, she must have done it intentionally. All actions are aimed at achieving the final victory."
Everyone's expressions are very subtle. Especially when these words come out of Artoria's mouth, it always feels like she's bragging...
Artoria doesn't explain much, because she knows how beautiful and noble King Arthur is. She has spent a lot of time with King Arthur in the dream world and already respects and admires her very much.
