[Fate Gun Brother] The 2.5th Holy Grail War

Caster broke free from Kai Ye's embrace while talking to himself, and the blank parchment appeared in his hand.Ye quietly stood aside and looked at him.

In the last battle, Caster showed off his treasure with great fanfare, and it probably won't work if he wants to use it again.And it's not enough time to prepare.The first demand was successfully launched after five days of war.

"Ever since Assassin died, I can't do what I want..."

Recalling the early days of the war, under the close monitoring of Assassin who grasped the overall situation, Caster not only had a clear view of the direction of all the enemies, but even collected information in advance before Heyamendi's every action, wrote down the three conditions, and achieved peace. "Foretelling the future" has the same effect.If the assassin is still alive, their master and slave can go out of the position and turn to the offensive in one go.

what can we do about it?

As a crystal ball acting as an assassin's monitoring duty, it can still detect at a certain distance. The caster class has magic over-the-horizon detection, and can observe the workshop of enemy magicians.But this skill can't break through magic defense formulas.Most masters will lay a barrier outside their stronghold to prevent other magicians from prying eyes. Caster can only regain this skill after losing assassin.

"I still rely too much on assassins..."

It is very rare for spell controllers that Grinsha is not good at making props, so after appearing in the world as a caster, he did not obtain the high-level [Property Creation] ability.Summoning mechanical monsters to guard positions is the ability of the dragon warlock, not a class skill.The crystal ball snatched from Chilua's shop is the best proof.

After all, Grinsha is not a "magician" in the conventional sense.

Suddenly, Caster froze in mid-air when he took out the quill.

"I got it--"

This is the whisper of suppressed excitement:

"I thought of a way to use this Noble Phantasm again. The best and only way."

"...Well, what is it?"

Ye couldn't help holding his breath.Chin lifted by provocative fingertips

.The eyes of the purple heroic spirit who was paying close attention to him seemed to be licking the delicate breasts of the girl wrapped in the kimono through the clothes.

"If you don't succeed, you will succeed. It's up to you this time. Be good, my dear master—"

A voice drenched with excitement let out a drawn-out admiration.

The enchantment has been repaired, and the protection of twenty and thirty layers is better than the strength before the damage. Lancer only has two anti-human treasures.Heyamendi's scepter has a limited number of uses. The "temple" level positions have impregnable defenses.It is impossible to force a breakthrough.To fundamentally and completely destroy at least the power of the Anti-City Noble Phantasm, the current barrier is a super-strong barrier that even the Anti-Army Noble Phantasm can't do anything about.

Not only that, but the value of the caster's treasure - [The Deed of All Things Breaking] can be reflected again under the planning of the trick.

Come on, unknowing dead, I—Grinsha Coburg Salfeld await you.

***

People come and go on the Cech Bridge during the day.The heaviness and turbidity of the war has been diluted a lot under the sunny and warm spring sun.Heyamendi stood by the bridge railing overlooking the Vltava River, and was lost in the crowd with Diarmuid.

It's been six days since the Holy Grail War started.It is rare to openly stay in a lively and prosperous place like this.Looking from the bridge, which is not the commanding height, there are patches of red roofs hidden in the dark trees, and the spiers of various churches are scattered around the city.The majestic Prague Castle in the distance stands quietly on the hills, dotted with milky yellow buildings, iron gray churches, pale bell towers and white spires.

36 The sixth night - under the reason of fighting

The princess of the cardamom age summoned her personal maid and whispered to her ear.

"Who is that brave man with the beautiful speech and soft voice and the mole under the corner of his right eye?"

"The darling of the Knights of Fiona, Diarmuid Odina the 'Bright Face'. The sweetheart of every woman in the world."

Ireland's greatest hero, Finn McCool, will marry the King's daughter, Princess Grania, at an engagement feast tonight.

The nobles of Tara and the members of the Knights gathered together, indulging in a wedding banquet surrounded by clusters of wine, fragrance and flowers.

There was a man who covered the brilliance of the tear of love mole with the shattered hair hanging from his forehead and the shadow left by the lowered brim of his hat, but he accidentally dropped his hat when driving away the accompanying hounds who were vying for a feast of flesh and blood.

On the cheek, that devilish sunspot inadvertently swung away.

……

"Finn..."

The blurted out call doesn't make any sense.The cruel wheel of fortune has arranged such an ironic reunion.The flame of pain that ignited in the chest burned the entanglement and despair to ashes and continued to sublimate in the heart.The tall and burly hero is full of a sense of justice, a majestic giant with a back like a tiger, a waist like a bear, and a resolute but kind face. He is undoubtedly the object he vowed to follow all his life in the past.For the current Lancer, for the Diarmuid of the past, only this person in front of him is what he doesn't know how to face.

Berserker watched quietly for a while, as if he was facing a long-lost brother, with a look of strong nostalgia for the lost and never-to-be-returned time shining on his face.

"I guess you will turn back to find your companions, and you are waiting here. How can you show such an expression. Is my appearance so shocking to you?——My knight."

Even though he said that, Lancer didn't know what kind of expression he had on his face, he could only hear his trembling voice.

"...Why are you here?"

"berserker..."

He Yamendi said lightly.I saw Lancer looking back at her with a solemn expression, and after receiving no other indication from the hostess, he turned his gaze back to Berserker in amazement—no, it should be more appropriate to call him Heroic Finn.

That's right, the identity of the enigmatic servant Berserker was finally revealed.However, there was no trace of madness on that kind, elder-like face.

And just when Lancer was doubtful, the giant in front of him made a move in response to Heyamendi's whisper.

The huge ax that suddenly appeared with his palm spread out was filled with thick black magic power, and was tightly held by Berserker's thick right palm.Until now, Lancer is still confused.

Why did Finn respond to the master's call as a berserker?Is it the two madness spells that were forcibly added to the body, or—— voluntary?

What is his reason for accepting the invitation to participate in the Holy Grail War?

"...Finn, are you really going to be the frenzied—berserker?"

"I removed the effect of 'Brazed', just to see you."

Just as Finn said—the Berserker, whose berserk effect was removed, reappeared under the black mist, returning to its true height and shape, as if the whole person had shrunk.But what about those battle axes?The heroic spirit Diarmuid never remembered that Finn's usual weapon would be an axe.

Berserker stroked the handle of the great ax in his palm.The hero in charge of wisdom has already understood the confusion in Lancer's heart.

"I understand what you want to ask of me—why I use an ax as a weapon. My knight, have you forgotten the stone path I built?"

Legend has it that Finn was once challenged by a Scottish giant who mocked Finn.But the giant cannot swim and cannot cross the narrow channel.Enraged, Finn spent a week tearing off large stones from the cliff and piled them into the sea, building a strong causeway from Northern Ireland to Scotland, known as the "Giant Stone Road".

Berserker's treasure [Giant Hammer] is the embodiment of this story through the evolution of a giant stone into a giant battle axe.An inexhaustible reserve, derived from the number of boulders used to build the causeway, is a weapon that can be used for both close combat and long-distance throwing attacks.The bodies of the dead souls who died under these huge axes that could be summoned infinitely would usually be mercilessly severed in two. It was a terrifying weapon that could even split a rider's war horse in half.

"It's no wonder. At that time, you were just a child playing with hounds, not my knight."

The Finn in front of him looked much younger than Lancer remembered.It seems that the Heroic Spirits summoned by the Holy Grail will spontaneously return to the peak period of their lives.Finn appeared in the world as a berserker at about 40 years old, and it was the stage when the Fiona Knights were at their peak under the leadership of Finn.

Lancer was still staring blankly at the familiar figure in front of him who stood upright and high-spirited.

Don't bother explaining at all, lancer also knows the legend of Finn.This is not due to information given by the Holy Grail.In those days, in the vast land ruled by the High King of Ireland, Conmac Ma Yatt, the name of the famous hero Finn McCool was unknown to everyone.He was heroic, generous, tolerant, and wise.He is the creator of the legend, defending the honor of the king and the justice of the people.And he, Diarmuid, swore to pursue it because of that respected glory.
