[Fate Gun Brother] The 2.5th Holy Grail War

The exterior wall material is starting to peel off.The air pressure from swinging the weapon brought up a whirlwind, destroying everything around it.Street lamps had their throats cut.A frantic storm raged on the deserted Wenceslas Square.

The supersonic giant ax hit Lancer one after another, and the crazy and no interval throwing made people only have the power to parry. Berserker's blue-veined right hand was constantly throwing the power of the [Giant Hammer] treasure, and the fact that he couldn't get closer to the enemy pushed Lancer into a very unfavorable situation.

Generally speaking, Lancer is a spirit of agility, and it is impossible to hard-wire Berserker's battle axe.Once the battle ax is used for long-distance attack and projected, its terrifying impact force exceeds the hardness that Lancer's two guns can bear.If it is only within the scope of close combat, it can still be picked up head-on.However, as long as Berserker has a wide field where he can swing his giant ax and throw it at the enemy, no heroic spirit is willing to gamble with his precious weapon.

Wherever the Berserker battle ax goes, there will be victims screaming.Destroying and trampling every corner of the square.Smash all the glass in the shop.More and more buildings were destroyed.

Is there something that can make me—

Lancer kept jumping to avoid being hit.His body was trembling from the beginning of the battle.In the process of avoiding, the moonlight sometimes poured on his face, and sometimes it was blocked by buildings, making his face flickering.

"What's the matter, Diarmuid? You only know how to dodge blindly—— in front of the "Giant Stone Road", you are so weak that you don't even have the consciousness to bleed?!"

Berserker's attack was that easy. Lancer cannot counter these taunts.It can be said that he was exhausted to defend against Berserker's attack.

Lancer looked around to turn the tables.This makes dodging more difficult.Street lamps, pieces of glass, broken stones... You need to find objects that can cover yourself from the trash on the ground.Lancer, who was completely suppressed by the continuous tomahawks, suddenly saw the key to bringing the battle back to life.

A monument stands in the open space in front of the Civic Museum, right in the center of the square - a statue of King Wenceslas riding a horse and holding a battle flag, placed on a tall marble platform.

There is a huge ax right here.The part where the horse's hoof fits is slightly lower, and the upper part of the base is missing like an amputation.Looking down from the sky, it forms a flat cross-section like annual rings.

--You are the one!

Lancer turned around and broke free from the shadows, risking being cut in half, and rushed towards the target he was looking at. Berserker noticed Lancer's intentions, and he became alarmed.In less than two seconds, throw three giant axes to track the enemy.

Oh oh oh--

The spearman dodged the first.Preceding the roar of the second tomahawk, it rushed to the place where the truncated figure fell from the top of the sculpture.At this time, the third battle ax that was close to the front door approached, less than one meter away from his body.

The giant ax grazed the broken hair on his forehead.Lancer, who accurately caught the flow of magic power, dodged sideways at the very moment.The remains of the monument lie at the feet. Lancer swung the bottom of the gun up, then raised his right leg and kicked the afterimage that was thrown into the air.

The otherwise imposing statue was used as a tool to stop Berserker.The ancient emperor on his horse spun in mid-air and fell towards the enemy in a deadly parabola, just above the head of the giant.

"—not bad. Your skill is still so vigorous."

Facing the marble statue attacking head-on, Berserker showed no panic in his gaze, praised the enemy without hesitation, and raised the battle ax over the top.

Unlike Lancer, who is famous for his agility.Facing the monument thrown at him provocatively, a hero like Berserker would naturally not just dodge.As if to say, "Let you know what real power is", Berserker swung his battle ax with a majestic posture, and smashed down like chopping meat.

The emperor on the horse was crushed like a cardboard box.The battle-axes embedded in the statue mercilessly smashed it to dust.Although the statue serving as a "temporary shield" failed to escape the fate of falling apart, in Lancer's view, his goal had been achieved.

While Berserker shattered the statue, Lancer completed the dash that narrowed the distance to the range of the gun blade.

The reason why the tomahawk is considered very dangerous is because Berserker's long-range throw is too powerful.If it was a hand-to-hand combat, it would not be so scary.

Finally, there was no obstacle stopping Lancer's footsteps.At a pace that is invisible to the naked eye, within ten steps of the enemy, there is the lightning-like figure of a spearman charging straight forward with two guns.

Lancer's opponent was pulled closer to the dangerous range that the red gun could pierce. Berserker raised his tomahawk for granted.From the point of view of the pros and cons of equipment, it is impossible for a tomahawk with more than two meters to be forced back by those two guns.

but……

"Um--?"

For the first time, Berserker's dark eyes showed anxiety. Lancer made a feint.He slapped the black leaf with his spear, hit the ax blade almost parallel to the ground, and—

Leap on it—

The intention is very obvious. Lancer wanted to take advantage of Berserker's slow turn, use the ax blade as a pedal to jump over the giant's body, and attack from behind.

Hero Finn's weakness is exposed. Lancer was eager to win with one blow.Realizing the consequences of this shot, Lancer had a mournful smile on his face.I can't take it anymore.The tip of the spear full of murderous intent pierced the back of the enemy's head.

The whirlwind of vindictiveness flapped the dark brown cloak. Berserker raised the corner of his mouth.

"Feint attacks are useless to me!"

Without even turning around, there was no need to turn around to see, Berserker whispered triumphantly and shot back directly.

"what?!"

Lancer knew he had made a mistake.Quickly withdrew the thrusting spear and took a few steps back.Thankfully, Berserker didn't throw the throwing axe, but simply bent his arm backwards and used his weapon to knock the enemy's red gun away.

It's just a matter of an instant.

"..."

Lancer had an impression of it. Berserker is always able to make unexpected counterattacks with his back to the enemy.During the battle on the Charles Bridge, there was no reason for Lancer to forget the action of chopping Rider's steed into a carcass as it leaped high and was about to charge him from behind.

"It turns out that this is the case... I should have noticed it earlier."

Lancer let out a low sigh. Berserker has the skills for this.There is no other explanation.

The heroic spirit Finn is protected by the reserved skill [Eye of Mind·False].Based on the sixth sense to predict and avoid danger in battle, it will never be fooled by half-baked feints.It is a troublesome skill for the enemy.

The attack was blocked, and Lancer had to back away and bide his time.Turning around, Berserker stabbed out with a sword.He fell short in front of Lancer who was rushing back to defend.But even so, there was no way to stop Berserker's forward speed.

At this moment, Berserker surpassed Lancer's speed.This is something that cannot be disputed.Going forward is inherently easier than going backward. Lancer was taken aback by Berserker's sudden acceleration.By using the continuous rotation of the wrist, Berserker danced three compact sword flowers in a row and swayed across the enemy's chest.If it wasn't for Lancer's quick retreat, I'm afraid his stomach would have been ripped apart.

"This is……"

—not a battle-axe, but a sword.

Berserker calmly stopped and did not chase after him.The weapon in hand was replaced.He'd done it long ago when he stood still and blocked Lancer's assault from behind.At that time, it was this sword that separated the red spear.

The unpretentious longsword is neither showy nor vulgar.The blade, forged and refined by meticulous forging, glows with the light of lightning.It was the ideal sword that Diarmuid used to marvel at every time he saw it.

——[Son of the Gun].

"Finn, you finally—"

Lancer, who only defended himself with light leather, would cause extremely serious contusions if hit by the blade of the battle axe.But compared to the sword of "King of Hundred Soldiers", bulkiness is the biggest disadvantage of the axe.Therefore, Berserker, who judged that close combat was about to start, decisively abandoned it.

"It's not too late. I said I'd fight you with real weapons. Keep that promise now—"

Berserker pulled out the final Noble Phantasm, indicating that the battle has reached its peak.But in Lancer's heart, there was always an impression of the roaring beast wielding a giant axe.

"Tell me... why did you participate in the Holy Grail War?"

Only the reason of this incident made him unable to figure it out, and he was eager to know the answer.face
