[Fate Gun Brother] The 2.5th Holy Grail War

Sleeping soundly beside the pillow, he was killed by the indiscriminate giant ax attack of the black giant in his dream.

Seventeen houses were destroyed in Berserker's anger.Ordinary people living there, palace servants and alchemists, the total number of victims was nearly a hundred.The entire castle area was plunged into an unprecedented panic.

——This is all for later.

***

The night road is as black as ink, and outside this forgotten textile factory is a large, dense and dead forest.Saber, who was holding Aqia, couldn't travel at high speed in the form of a spirit body, and could only keep jumping and moving from one place to another.

Saber is now on the west bank of the river.Speaking of the West Bank, in fact, the Vltava River, which is rushing all the way to this place, seems to have turned a corner, and has gradually changed from north-south to west-to-east.If you want to return to the hotel apartment on the east bank of the Charles Bridge starting from the woods outside the factory, there are two routes to choose from.Take the Cech Bridge through Josef City, or walk along the river bank to the Manes Bridge and cross the bridge to the opposite bank.

The former is faster in terms of convenience and familiarity.But Saber was stopped before even seeing the end of the Cech Bridge.

Although she is the strongest class selected by the Holy Grail, a Heroic Spirit who ranks in the Seat of Swords, Saber's ability to detect enemies is not outstanding among the Servants.

Aside from Assassin, who has the special skill of [breath blocking] and thus is unrivaled in covert actions, Servant, who is good at detection, also has the skill of [clairvoyance], Archer, and Caster, who is good at magic beyond visual range detection.

Saber, who was used to fighting head-on, let alone actively tracking and scouting the enemy, it was easier for him to be discovered by the enemy first as he was wandering in the wild like now.But there is no need to worry about this at all. Saber believed that she would be able to block the attack calmly in the face of any enemy, and then just look for an opportunity to counterattack.No one can surpass Saber in close combat, he will let all enemies who dare to attack him know what a sword knight is.

Well, besides, that's not what the visitor meant...

Saber looked over with a stern expression, the distance was already very close.Relying on the Servant's intuition, he was able to judge the direction in which this undisguised magic power was launched.

First, there was the black spear thrown at him unscrupulously, and then a strong figure suddenly appeared 20 meters in front of him.

Because of its geographical location, Saber happened to be standing on a high place.Looking down at the low slope from a high position, the view is very wide.The spears shot at random deviated too far, as if they were just trying to attract Saber's attention.Its owner cast a joyful look at Saber openly.

Archer—like a warrior who must respond when he hears the horn of battle, blocked Saber's way.

"Hey, Saber, let me be clear first. This is not a sneak attack, I shot so wide on purpose!"

Archer smiled gracefully, fully armed, he showed the spear in his left hand and stood on the ground.This undoubtedly represents the posture of wanting to fight.

However, Saber's face was not that of a warrior about to start a battle.Saber, who was in a hurry to return to her command, had already shown a rather anxious mood.

"Archer, what do you mean by stopping here?"

"Obviously isn't it?—You want to pass? No, unless you show strength beyond me and beat me away."

"you……"

Just when Saber gritted her teeth and moaned unhappily, Archer interrupted him with a snort.

"Hey, you don't think we are in the same group, do you? The alliance has been dissolved long ago, and now is the time to fight!"

"Of course! You don't need to remind me of this. But, Archer, are you really determined to fight me right now?! Do you have to choose this time?!"

In the sound of the howling wind that rustled every leaf, Saber's voice was as cold as iron, and her eyes were fierce as if she wanted to pierce a hole in Archer's body.However, like a master fighter punching a bag of rice, his scolding had no effect at all.

Archer stared ahead, raised his left arm and pointed the spear point at Saber, his tone full of courage.

"Don't stand and talk without pain in your back. You have the magical power that the master is constantly replenishing as a tribute, but I can't wait! Please be considerate of those who are about to disappear! My mood, I can't control my desire to fight you desire!"

While roaring, the corners of his mouth twitched, and the raised smile was the unique grin that this heroic spirit was born with.Facing Archer's blatant declaration, which was so presumptuous that he had no scruples, Saber glared.

"That alliance was really annoying. No, it should be said that I was very unhappy from the beginning of the contract... I have long wanted to tear apart the rules and regulations of the master and servant and fight with you, who is known as the strongest! Like you Your hero would be restricted under that kind of rules? Haha, be sober, Saber, do you have the guts to accept my challenge?"

"You guy..."

"Berserker doesn't look like he can live long. I guess other Servants will come to this place where no birds can lay eggs to hinder us. Don't worry that the duel will be interfered by irrelevant outsiders. If such a good opportunity is missed If not, I don’t know that we will have to wait until the year of the monkey! Saber, bet on your status as the strongest class and the honor of a knight, and compete with me, Achilles, in a dignified manner!"

In normal times, Saber would gladly accept Archer's challenge.A big man like him who outnumbered others in the Knights of the Round Table must look forward to meeting a formidable opponent and fighting Archer on equal terms.

In fact, Archer is also wondering why Saber has lost the courage of the past and will push back against this duel between heroes.Archer, who caught Saber passing on the Cech Bridge with "clairvoyance" while talking with Heyamendi on the Manes Bridge, rushed here non-stop after watching Lancer leave with his injured master. Berserker bolted away to level the playing field for the one-on-one duel.In any case, this great opportunity will never be easily let go.

"I can accept the challenge, but not today! Get out of the way if you understand, I have something urgent!"

Because Saber couldn't restrain his anxious mood swings, Archer's eyes seemed to pay tribute to the thing in his hand, and then he twitched the corner of his mouth in disdain.

In Saber's strong arms was the recently deceased Master of Berserker, that little girl with red hair.Archer still has the impression of Aqiya's existence.

The masters of Saber and Berserker have a deep friendship, and they should have known each other before the war started.But Archer didn't even intend to think about people who had no interest in him.

"Put that girl down and have a good fight with me. It won't take you too long."

"You deliberately trouble me? This is just your wishful thinking!"

He had already tried his best to control his words, but the sharp murderous look in Saber's voice had nowhere to hide, and it was transmitted to Archer's ears very clearly, arousing his fighting spirit even more.

"Relax, I have great respect for the dead. I assure you that no damage will be done to her body."

"—"

Immediately, a flood of anger surged across the sky. Under the moonlight, the sword with a deep luster like broken silver was swung towards the ground. The angry sword energy rolled up sand and dust and approached Archer 20 meters away with lightning and flint.

[Undestroyed Lake Light] Penetrating through the ground, the soil was blown up, like a gust of wind blowing towards the enemy. Archer glanced vigilantly, retreated quickly, and at the same time showed an extremely joyful smile.In combat, using sand splashes to obstruct the enemy's line of sight is a tried and tested method. Saber must have a follow-up action.

"Archer, disappear for me—!"

This brilliant knight who was blessed by the elves on the battlefield is like a man-eating ghost at this moment, and the beauty that has fascinated countless ladies is distorted in an instant.

Sure enough, the sandstorm targeting Archer was just a cover-up.Under the cover of the dust, Saber jumped to the side, sprinted from the left side, stopped beside a thick tree, and kicked a boulder lying under the tree just in time.

Dust combined with flying stones for a flawless attack.But even so, it still didn't weaken Archer's grudge against him.

The eyes of the Heroic Spirit of Bow were as sharp as an eagle, and he aimed at the truly deadly objects under the cover of sand and dust.

Archer, who put away his spear temporarily, raised his left arm as if facing a ball, without dodging, trying to smash the flying boulder with one hand.

"You underestimate me, Saber!"

With a high-pitched shout, Archer ignored the dust in the sky, and smashed the boulder, which was as big as the base of the monument, with a single punch.

However, he still made a mistake.

From the very beginning, Saber made this series of attacks with the purpose of getting out of battle.Don't want to waste time with Archer, always
