[Fate Gun Brother] The 2.5th Holy Grail War

, the posture of the right hand assisting announced to Saber, from this it can be seen that the shield carried by the archer is not ready to use.

Facing Archer, whose eyes were full of desire to fight, Saber could only place Aqia under a big tree away from the center of the battlefield, and then drew out his sword.There is no need to speculate, the intention is obvious - Saber finally responded to Archer's invitation, and wants to have a showdown.

Saber's calm yet sharp eyes were burning with anger.Unrestrained and unrestrained, Archer protested at him provocatively.It can be felt that Archer's fighting spirit has reached its peak after receiving the information that Saber is willing to fight.

This man must completely defeat him from the front, otherwise he will be pestered endlessly.

Compared with the war over the Holy Grail, Archer actually puts more emphasis on head-to-head competition with other Heroic Spirits. Is it because of the death of his master? Saber didn't want to make unreasonable guesses, and the reason why she decided to compete with Heroic Spirit Achilles might also come from the warrior's instinct.

"Archer, I will never let you leave unscathed. You will definitely make you pay for your stupidity by blocking my way!"

"Ha, the first half is my line, as for the latter - Saber, show your true skills, let me enjoy every second of fighting with you to the fullest!"

Yelling at each other angrily in the inaudible night wind, the two heroic spirits clenched their weapons and focused on each other.

33 The sixth night - under the brand of the dead

It is a legendary palace with an ideal name.

- Camelot, Arthur's Palace.

It symbolizes the perfect political expectations in the hearts of the people.

The complex roads and stairs are connected between the pavilions, decorated with gorgeous carvings and clusters of flowers.Surrounded by towering ancient trees, from a distance, the entire majestic and coordinated palace is supported by pillars of uniform thickness, which looks like a resplendent island under the blue sky.Every roof tile and every high wall are engraved with supreme honors.The sun was shining straight down, and the whole palace was shining with dazzling brilliance.The eyes are captured by it, dazzled by it, let the bards sing from the bottom of their hearts, and let the people sing the reputation of the ever-victorious king in solemnity.

A knight walked through the winding and deep palace.

Is it to go to the palace to meet the noble king?

The knight has a handsome appearance and a strong physique.Long dark blue-purple hair hangs down from the cheeks, softly draped over the silver shoulder armor.Thin face, those purple eyes full of masculine charm in melancholy are so awe-inspiring that it is impossible to look away.

The first knight of the Knights of the Round Table under the leadership of King Arthur is known as Sir Lancelot, the Knight of the Lake, and even has the reputation of "Flower of Knights".

Walking through the long corridors and halls, the knight's footsteps were surging, but also revealed a trace of tension.

Lancelot, there are countless women who fall for him by his side.Just like victory and glory, it seems that you will automatically move closer to him without deliberately striving for it.An impeccable and perfect knight, with the king's blessing, could have married a woman of comparable status.A brave and fearless hero should have a noble and virtuous wife by his side, which is a combination in line with people's traditional ideas.Every woman in Britain, from the royal family to the lady of the common people, is speculating in anticipation, who will be lucky enough to be the lifelong partner of that knight?

A woman opened the door of the bedroom for him and threw herself into his arms.

A beautiful woman that cannot be described by any rhetoric——King Arthur's queen, Guinevere.

The knight, who was full of love and could not tell, kissed her brow almost obsessively.

As the queen's bodyguard, Lancelot fell in love with her at first sight when he first visited the palace.He secretly swore in his heart that he would go through fire and water for this woman.

King Arthur placed great trust in his chief knight, making him the bodyguard responsible for the safety and reputation of the queen.What Wang Wanwan didn't expect was that his actions would further promote this forbidden palace love.

A rebellious courtier, an unclean and unchaste queen!

Time passed silently, and the personal relationship between Lancelot and Guinevere was finally revealed to the world.King Arthur was very angry and led twelve knights to arrest the two men who were having a tryst.

In order to rescue the queen who was sentenced to be burned at the stake by the king, Lancelot, struggling to break out of the siege, stormed the execution ground, fled across the sea to France, and confronted the former lord.

He once made great military exploits for the country with his extraordinary martial arts, but this heroism was used to express his deep love for the queen. What an ironic scene, and it is no wonder why people all over the world pointed at this betrayed knight.

It was this turmoil that provided a good opportunity for the usurper. King Arthur, who conquered Lancelot himself, was attacked by enemies, and the great kingdom that ruled the British Isles was destroyed.

In this battle, everyone loses.

The king who lost his beloved general, lover and country threw his holy sword into the lake and died forever.

Later, still unable to get rid of the longing for the queen, Lancelot sneaked back to England to pursue Guinevere, but the queen had become a nun and never saw him again.In desperation, Lancelot could only choose to become a monk and became a monk.Died after a long period of penance and fasting.

……

The dream is truncated here.

In fact, what should be seen is almost the same.

Elijah shivered, tightened his arms, and pulled up the blanket that had slid to the floor.

He just fell asleep on the sofa.To actually dream about the Servant's past...

If Lancelot hadn't been greedy for the love that didn't belong to him, and hadn't stretched out his hand to that unreachable woman, if Guinevere could have endured the loneliness in the deep palace, and hadn't stepped forward to the knight Open that door, maybe that prosperous and peaceful empire will live forever...

What kind of feelings are hidden under the closed eyes of the knight who finally passed away in the monastery—remorse, sadness, or resentment?

Elijah leaned back on the sofa, staring at the ceiling in a daze.His thoughts were immersed in the dream just now.But the strange thing is, why did the scene in the dream gradually become blurred not long after waking up?

Whether he couldn't remember clearly or didn't want to remember, Elijah didn't know if he knew.

It was pitch black outside the window, and the night was still thick.

At this hour, midnight has already passed.

The red-haired nobleman rubbed the corners of his eyes tiredly, looking around the empty room with a dazed expression on his face.There are residual tears in the corner of his eyes, but it's not because of the knight's dream...

***

Saber and Archer watched each other's every move.

The wind is whispering, and the water is singing shallowly.

The air on the river bank has condensed to the extreme.If ordinary people pass by here, the blood in the whole body will tremble and stagnate under the chilling atmosphere.

Saber's slender eyes became narrower and narrower in the tightly squinted state, without any other emotion, just staring with murderous intent at the rude person who prevented him from returning to his life.

Archer's green eyes followed the fierce gaze, and without even moving a finger, he activated the weapons group in the air very easily.

The densely packed spears flew down from the void.

There are ten in total.

Archer watched Saber grab and knock down his spears one by one with a smile on his face. Saber's Heroic Spirits are super powerful Heroic Spirits who can loot anything - including the Noble Phantasms of other Heroic Spirits - and turn them into their own weapons.Such an unreasonable skill made it very easy for Saber to grab the spear that flew first, and use it to repel the spear that flew behind.

After dismantling Archer's first shot, Saber sensed the enemy's intentions.

Before he had time to think about it, the second round of attacks began.

This time it was twenty.

The river bank was subjected to tremendous destructive force, and the spears that rained down carpeted the ground, and everything was violently lifted up, turning into dust and flying around.However, in the dim environment covered by sand and stones, Saber still stood proudly on the spot without any damage. Although the road he stepped on had already turned into gravel and cracked the ground, the land that Saber guarded was not damaged at all. Affected.

After the second round, Saber began to feel anxious—because all the spears he struck back could not hurt their owners at all, and Archer could rely on his mind to make the spear disappear before it hit his body, without even touching his body. There is no chance to arrive.

Is this man going to—? !

Saber's prediction was right.

"It's not over yet!"

The third round was [-], swept again under Archer's smirk.

Saber used her superb technique to stretch out her hands to grab the first and second flying spears, and started the journey of weapon absorption.Whenever a new spear arrives, Saber throws away the old treasure in her hand.Facing Archer's non-stop onslaught, the spears were constantly changing under Saber's waving arms, no matter how many weapons were attacking him, he could block the following spears one by one.

Extraordinary martial arts!The enemy's Noble Phantasm is like the metal arm extended by Saber, and it is not unaccustomed to use it.

In this way, Saber greeted Archer three rounds one after another without panting.
