gaze of war

[Emiya Kiritsugu ordered Saber with Command Seal——]

Saber, who was cooperating with Rider to deal with the sea monster's attack, was shocked all over.

(……What?)

【Stop lancer——】

[Even if you use despicable means, you must definitely stop Lancer! 】

(What are you doing...? Emiya Kiritsugu...?)

No matter how startled she was, she was caught off guard, and her body had already violated her own will and rushed towards the direction where Lancer's magic breath came from.

Lancer was quickly found—the man was galloping towards the library in a bird-like manner.

However, even though Saber has poured her magic power into her feet and maximized her speed, she still can only catch up with Lancer's back from a distance of a few meters, and cannot truly achieve the goal of "stopping Lancer".

As soon as the cognition of "It seems that I can't catch up" came into my mind, Saber involuntarily held her sword with both hands, raised her arms high, and made a ready posture for a downward strike, and at the same time Immediately infuse the magic power of the whole body into it.

(How...how can I sneak attack from behind——!)

The noble Knight King let out a wail of anger and resistance from his heart.

The super anti-magic power she possessed faithfully made her intentions come true, her raised arms began to tremble, and the movement of the long sword stagnated.

(Stop...stop!)

The trembling of the arms was getting worse.The coercive power of the command spell is really quite strong, Saber struggled to support it.

Lancer, who feels the magical breath, will definitely take countermeasures, right?

Saber thought this way, and also hoped so, if Lancer could escape successfully, she wouldn't have to shoot him from behind.

But Lancer seemed to be unable to feel the attack from behind, and rushed in that direction without any hesitation.

(Oops!)

The hands regained their stability in an instant, and all the last magic power was poured into the Noble Phantasm.

(Who is coming...!)

In any case, she couldn't accept the fact that she was sneaking behind someone, Saber tried her best to stop her body's movements, and as if she really heard her call, accompanied by the crackling of thunder and lightning, and a rough and long howl, the rider's The chariot rushed straight towards Saber, and Saber, who was unable to defend in the future, ran into it.

"...This is really too much to command the Lord."

Standing on the chariot and looking down at Saber with pity, the rider said, "Using brutal command spells to order directly. It's really too much to force a knight like you to attack someone from behind, you Owner."

Saber was speechless.Even with Rider's words, Saber's heart was shaken by resonance, but she was still under the compulsive command control of the Command Seal, so she was using her whole body's magic power to resist the power of the Command Seal.

Using all her strength to resist the Command Seal, Saber knelt down on the ground trembling all over.Even though the coercive power of the command spell and her own anti-magic power continued to conflict, Saber still did not allow herself to become a despicable villain who shot behind her back.

(Exactly... what do you want to do! Emiya Kiritsugu!)

The Knight King's heart was filled with puzzlement and anger.

"lancer...uh...uh..."

Because of the severe pain and great fear, Sora lay on the ground clutching his injured abdomen, and wept weakly.The always proud and beautiful face is covered with dust and light makeup, and the face is twisted together in horror, the eyeballs are trembling nervously, and the eyes are drifting everywhere.

Is... Who is it... Who actually attacked me... Is it still there!Are you still there waiting to kill me!No, no, absolutely not to die like this, I haven't...I haven't...

Sora shouted incoherently in her heart, extreme panic had seized her heart.

will die... will die... will die... will die... will die soon...

Painful wheezing sounds from the throat.Muscles spasmed, tears couldn't stop.The great pain is destroying her sanity, and the continuous loss of blood is stealing her life.

Sora's will began to crumble.

Lancer... lancer... lancer... lancer... save me... save me...

"Are you okay?"

Shrinking suddenly from being frightened, Sora let out a painful moan and gasped for breath.When she saw the speaker clearly, her eyes immediately filled with tears.The knight with black hair and golden eyes was kneeling beside her, looking at her anxiously.

"Lancer...it hurts..."

Sora wept weakly.As if she finally calmed down, her body swayed, and then fell into Lancer's arm.A sweet smell rose from the depths of her throat, and she couldn't help coughing.

Blood welled up from the depths of his throat.Not even clenching of the jaw can stop their flow.Along the gap between the teeth, wrapping the soft tongue, breaking through the tightly closed lips, dripping a lot along the contour of the jaw.

"Cough... cough uh..."

Seeing his own blood, Sora cried in fear.However, the action of crying consumed her physical strength more quickly, and brought her one step closer to the abyss of death.

"Woo... woo... lancer..." Her fingers held onto lancer's arm tightly, "you...you said you would... save me! lancer...! lancer! Quick...help me ! lancer!"

I will protect you.

There is only one chance for a killer.

Ordering that saber to stop him must also be to buy time to kill Miss Sola with one blow.

Miss Sola exposed to the eyes of those thugs is simply the best target, no different from ordinary people.

However, he has returned, so he will not be attacked again.

As long as Lancer returned to Miss Sola's side, that hidden killer would never attack again if he was smart enough.

But...the wounds caused by the sniper rounds...are beyond healing.Even if Miss Sola was sent to the hospital immediately, it would be too late.Judging from such a wound, it was definitely a large-caliber sniper bullet, and there was a magical aura around the wound...not an ordinary killer.

No matter how you think about it, there is only one man who wears a gun as a magic dress.

...saber...

Emiya... Kiritsugu!

"... lancer...?"

The trembling call drew Lancer's attention back.

"...Miss Sola..."

Lancer couldn't respond to Sora's call for help.He closed his eyes in pain.

In the eyes of Lancer, who has experienced countless battles, Sola's injuries are absolutely fatal.Even if she was still able to move and speak now, and although she looked very frightened and weak, she was still able to maintain her consciousness—it would not change the fact that Miss Sola was doomed.

Lancer's silence made Sora panic even more.

Because of emotional instability, her panting speed suddenly accelerated, and her coughing became more frequent.A steady stream of blood overflowed from his mouth.

I'm dying--

When he clearly realized this fact, Sora's whole body trembled.

I can't believe it...it can't be like this...absolutely can't...absolutely can't...I...can't die...my wish is still...

It was as if countless demons had sneaked into his heart, whispering noisyly in Sora's heart.Desire, greed, jealousy, pride - countless negative emotions crazily grew in her heart, loudly clamoring to punish the man in front of her.

—How dare you allow me to be killed!

—How dare you leave my side without authorization!

——How dare you...not accept my love——!

The fearful and weak eyes gradually took on dark resentment.Sora ignored his own wounds, raised his hands convulsively, and clasped Lancer's arms.A pair of cloudy eyes from severe pain and blood loss stared at him motionlessly.

"...I, I'm going to die." She gasped heavily. "Lancer...you...can't save me...can you...?"

"……sorry."

Lancer hung his head helplessly.

He couldn't say anything - facing the dying fiancée of the late lord, the knight who failed to protect his duty was completely unable to face her pair of despairing eyes.

sorry……

Just like the Lord at that time.

... and ... like that time.

He could only silently watch the death of those who must be protected.

Diarmuid Odina.legendary hero.Sora has the strength of a whole body, holds a treasure that has been blessed by the gods, and is a legendary hero who has left his name in history—but he is powerless against the death of his master.

"lancer..." Sora called out in pain. "...so painful...cold..."

The hands holding Lancer's arms trembled, cold sweat oozing from the severe pain. Lancer let her grab him, just silent, looking at her bloody face with pain and regret.

"...hug me, lancer..." Sora begged softly.

Lancer didn't move.

Sensing Lancer's resistance to this—just like what he did every time she took the initiative to get close to Lancer, Sora fell silent.

"...Even...at this time, you wouldn't... just hug me? Are you, Lancer?" Sora said softly.

It became increasingly difficult to meet her gaze. Lancer fell into a quagmire of pain.The pain of betrayal was like a tarsal maggot, causing him severe pain all over his body.Obviously, you should stay away from her.Obviously, he should only win victory and glory for his master as a knight.But always...always... because of this cursed magic mole, the sharp blade was stabbed fiercely in the heart of the lord.Unable to be loyal to anyone.It is also impossible to respond to the love of every woman.

Even a hug... also...

"Miss Sora...I..."

Just when Lancer was in a dilemma, a woman's laughter resounded in the void. "……hehe."

The author has something to say: the previous pace is too fast, and many things have not been explained.This is an important plot point... so the pace is a little slower.

Please don't worry about the children's shoes of the abuser gun brother, this scumbag who is very gentle and considerate to every woman... will definitely cry (what's wrong)

Well, seriously.

For Gunge, this is "the moment to choose your path."

Such a choice must be decided by himself.

Once a decision has been made, he must meet his chosen fate.
