Magic world

ps:  Thanks to “Cangli” for the reward, and thanks to “Cangli” for the evaluation vote.

At night, the East District of Fuyuki City is full of Japanese-style buildings.

"Whoosh, whoosh."

With a slight crackling sound in the air, a dark figure quickly jumped over the houses in the block, as if searching for something.

Then soon, he stopped on the wall of a Japanese-style courtyard house that occupied almost half of the street.

It was a slender man wearing a strange blue tights. His hair was dark blue, and the upper part was neatly trimmed, and the back of the head was tied into a ponytail with a string, hanging down naturally. Behind him, he held a bright red slender stick gun in his hand, which looked mysterious and charming under the moonlight.

——It is the Servant’s Lancer!

At this moment, Lancer was seen running around, quickly jumping down into the courtyard wall, and walking gently towards one of the brightly lit houses. And there, a red-haired young man wearing a khaki uniform, with a dry red mark on his left chest corresponding to the heart, was sitting on the door panel with an absent-minded look on his face, thinking about something without thinking at all. He noticed the figure of Lancer who had arrived in front of him.

Seeing this, the Lancer silently pointed the tip of the spear in his hand at the boy's face.

Feeling the sudden cold sharpness, Nanhai raised his head slightly and looked at the tip of the spear in front of him. His pupils shrank in an instant, and Taitou looked forward with fear on his face, then turned around and started searching.

Hallucination?

Then the boy's expression changed again when he thought of something, and he stood up on the tatami.

But at this time. A sudden shadow enveloped him entirely.

The boy turned his head and looked behind him.

The figure of the Lancer, who jumped up high and stood in front of the lamp, holding a spear in a thrusting gesture, instantly caught his eye.

"What!?" The boy's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed instinctively. At the same time, he subconsciously rolled his body and rolled away.

"puff!"

Then the next moment, the tip of the spear stabbed hard into the tatami.

"Really, I will end up killing the same person twice in one day..." Lancer slowly stood up from the tatami, turned to look at the boy, and exuded an astonishing murderous aura, mocking himself.

"What a disaster!"

then. Lancer once again raised his spear and assumed an attack stance. He said loudly, "Hey, stop dodging!"

Perhaps he was stimulated by the Lancer's arrogant posture, or perhaps the desire to survive in his heart was too strong. The boy who was already stunned suddenly stood up shakingly while holding a roll of poster paper next to him. With a face filled with tension and apprehension, he assumed a mid-level kendo stance. He looked like he was ready to resist to the end.

Lancer was stunned at first when he saw this. Then, with a dangerous expression on his face as he laughed angrily as if he was insulted, he said, "It's really a strange trick... [Strengthening], letting the magic power penetrate the paper scroll to increase its strength? Are you... a magician?"

The boy said nothing. Be careful and alert.

"It's interesting, it's really exciting!"

After saying that, the spear shot out and stabbed the boy. The boy struggled to block Lancer's gun body with a paper roll holder that was reinforced as hard as steel, but the gap in strength between him and Lancer, who was a heroic spirit, was really big, so his body fell backwards involuntarily.

"Good boy, how about this move!?"

Then, the Lancer raised his gun with one hand and quickly slashed at the boy like he was smashing something.

"boom!"

Amidst the violent muffled sound, the boy bent his body and slipped out, crashed through the thick wooden sliding door, fell heavily to the ground of the courtyard, and slid back a short distance.

"thump."

"Wow~"

At the same time, Lancer chased out and attacked the boy again.

Seeing that he was cornered, the boy cursed "Damn it!" and immediately stood up from the ground, holding the roll of paper tightly with both hands, and struck it out with a slash.

"clang!"

A crisp sound immediately echoed in the night sky. Then there was a soft sound of "hoo", and a slender weapon with a vague shape flipped and flew out, and was stuck diagonally on the ground.

It's Lancer's spear.

Lancer was a little surprised and glanced at the weapon that was shot away from the corner of his eye. But he didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, it was a water release attack. Being knocked away could only mean that he underestimated the explosive power of his prey, rather than his own lack of strength.

The boy who had completed the blow was panting rapidly as if he had lost all strength.

Then the Lancer looked away, with an interesting sneer on his face. Suddenly, his body flashed, and he suddenly appeared in front of the boy as if he was teleporting. When the latter asked for help with a face full of shock, he kicked the boy hard with a side kick. Kicked the boy in the stomach.

"boom!"

Under the impact of the huge force, the boy's eyes widened and he flew backwards quickly until he hit hard the steel door of the utility room built on the side of the house.

"boom!"

"Ahem...ah..." The boy coughed violently with an unstoppable urge to vomit in his chest.

"Hmph, the quality is pretty good, but he's still too young." The lancer who took back the spear said quietly as he slowly approached the boy.

The boy moved his body like a bug and crawled into the debris warehouse through the half-open door on the side.

"I don't want to fight the magician, but you might be the seventh person..." Lancer stood behind the boy and said, "So goodbye, kid. I won't hesitate anymore this time!"

The Lancer tightened his grip on the spear and pointed it at the boy.

However, just when he was about to turn the thorn into a thorn, a dazzling light appeared in this dim sundry warehouse accompanied by a sudden burst of magic power, and then a strong wind was sucked in from the outside. A fierce whirlwind formed, destroying the Lancer's attack movements.

"Wha, what!?" Lancer was shocked when he saw the sudden change.

Immediately afterwards, the atmosphere dispersed, revealing a blond girl wearing a blue skirt and a simple metal armor coat.

It is Saber of Servant!

Saber stared at the Lancer opposite with sharp eyes.

"How is that possible!? It's the seventh Servant!" Lancer shouted in disbelief.

On the other hand, Saber completely ignored Lancer's shock, directly lowered her body, rushed towards Lancer with the help of the turbulent air that had not completely dissipated, and slashed at him with her sword.

Lancer's expression changed slightly, and he quickly held his gun in front of him.

"clang!"

In the crisp sound. Lancer's body involuntarily slid back a short distance. obviously. In this competition, Saber won.

Lancer glanced at the boy who was still sitting on the ground unwillingly, then with a tsk, he decisively exited the utility room. For spearmen using long weapons. Or is the vast space outside more suitable for him to exert his strength?

Then I waited for about ten seconds. Saber, who was holding an invisible sword, also ran out of the junk warehouse. Confronted with Lancer.

"Hi." Lancer said hello with a serious expression without any trace of looseness in his expression.

"I'd better ask first about this victory or defeat. Aren't you going to stay until the next time?" Lancer continued, "Your master is standing there with an uneasy expression on his face. Do everything possible for each other." Wouldn’t it be better to fight after preparation?”

"I refuse. It is impossible for servants to meet twice." Saber refused with a stern expression.

"Ha, that's good!" Lancer put himself in good posture and said loudly, "But are you an idiot? You are too careless to go to the battlefield without even bringing a weapon!"

Then he thrust the gun very suddenly.

"clang!"

A crisp sound of gold and iron sounded immediately.

"Blocked? Is it an invisible weapon?!" Lancer suddenly felt surprised when he noticed the shape of Saber's hands.

Then, Saber suddenly exerted her strength, and a powerful flow of magic power erupted from her body, knocking back Lancer's sudden spear.

"Wow!"

Under the huge impact, Lancer's body once again involuntarily slid back a certain distance.

"I want to ask you something..." Lancer, who didn't expect that his seemingly petite body could actually produce such strange power, asked with a solemn expression, "Is your weapon a sword?"

"It doesn't matter what kind of weapon you use, military attaché, because you'll be in trouble if you stay here." Saber said seriously.

"Thank you for your words." Lancer said with a cold expression. Then he sneered and continued, "Saber, the best sword master, I didn't expect to see it here with my own eyes... Really, I'm so restrained. I was ordered by the master to conduct such a petty reconnaissance mission. I thought I I didn’t win the grand prize in this Holy Grail War and was about to give up, but this development is not bad at all.”

"You seem to be very eloquent. If you were also a servant, you would use that spear to speak." Saber said softly.

"Hahahaha, no problem! Then I will knock you down with this spear!" Lancer laughed, and at the same time, a magic power and astonishing murderous aura that seemed to thicken the air emanated from his body.

Feeling the magic and murderous intent, Saber immediately showed a serious look on her face.

"Farewell, I will accept your heart." Lancer declared.

After saying that, he stabbed Saber with his gun. It's just that in terms of the attack position, it's not that good, at least it's not the best attack track.

After making a judgment, Saber swung her sword and slashed at the spear.

But at this moment, a shout full of momentum came from Lancer's mouth again.

"Penetrating...Death Thorn Spear!"

The next moment, the air twisted, and the front end of Lancer's gun seemed to be broken. It suddenly formed a corner with the main body of the gun, and stabbed Saber's chest at a tricky angle.

"puff!"

Bright red blood sprayed out from Saber's body instantly.

Lancer's Noble Phantasm, the Penetrating Death Thorn Spear, is a spear that can reverse the law of cause and effect. The result of [penetrating the heart] is predetermined the moment the gun is released, and then the spear itself is used to coordinate this result with an attack that meets the required 'cause', so as long as it is released, the enemy is already dead.

Therefore, the lancer who completed this attack showed a victorious smile on his face.

But then, Lancer's expression turned to one side, with a look of disbelief on his face. Because right opposite him, Saber, who was supposed to be dead in his expectation, was still alive and well as before. The only difference was that her left chest was full of blood near her shoulder, making her complexion look... Somewhat painful.

"Did she avoid it? My fatal thorn spear!?"

"Death Thorn Spear? Is that the name of your weapon? Then your real name is..." Saber said with a slightly changed expression. Obviously, she had already guessed the Lancer's true identity from the name of the weapon. ——In Celtic mythology, Cú Chulainn, the son of the Irish sun god Lugg MacEsolen and the son of light!

"whispering sound."

Just when Saber was about to shout out the answer, Lancer suddenly bit his teeth and turned around as if he was ready to leave.

"It's too bad that my true identity was exposed so early." Lancer laughed at himself.

"Do you want to escape?" Saber asked loudly.

"What a coincidence. This is the master's order. If you want to die, it's okay to chase her." Lancer stopped when he heard this, half-turned to look at Saber and sneered.

After that, he jumped out of the courtyard.

"Wait!" Saber yelled. But then he froze due to the wound involved, half-kneeling on the ground with a face full of pain.

"Hey, are you okay?" The boy who had been busy for a long time ran over and asked.

Just when he ran to Saber's side, Saber started fighting on her own from the ground, and even the original injuries on her body were completely recovered...

"What's going on? Who are you!?" The boy who only thought it was a magic method asked the question in his heart.

"I am the Servant who was summoned to fight in this Holy Grail War. I should have said this just now, Master?" Saber replied.

"So, so, what is the Holy Grail War and what is a Servant?" The boy who didn't get a detailed answer asked urgently.

"Really... It turns out you really don't know anything. In that case, I will answer you. [Holy Grail War]..." Then Saber explained the relevant information of the Holy Grail War to the boy... (To be continued. .)
