[Comprehensive] How to be a good magician

lancer!

In mid-air, Xu You opened his mouth soundlessly. Although his body was constantly flying backwards, his hands were trying to reach forward.

Over there, Lancer was half-sinked in the black mud, probably seeing that she had finally left the danger zone, and he was completely relaxed as he was being swallowed by the black mud at a speed visible to the naked eye.

...No, it can't just end like this.

Xu You couldn't tell what kind of feeling she was feeling in her heart at the moment, she obviously refused at first, even if Fei Tan spoiled the holy grail battle, at first she just wanted to help Sakura get away from the Matou family, and stay away from the perverted family That's all.

But it's different now.She couldn't just watch Lancer disappear, that was her servant, her partner.If possible, I really hope that we can live together peacefully and happily like in the previous dream.

Xu You wanted to save Lancer, but she didn't have the energy to use all kinds of magic circles at all, and it was a little difficult to land safely, let alone save people.

Shirou Emiya was standing below, but he couldn't pull out his hand to help Xu You who was still moving in an arc in mid-air when he was fighting Gilgamesh.

It was Matou Sakura who shouted with all her might: "Yu——"

As soon as she finished speaking, the rider who was guarding her side jumped up, and immediately caught the person who was still in free fall with one hand.

The falling body finally regained its balance. Xu You immediately looked at his usually wild partner, but at this moment, he was gradually being swallowed by the black mud like a dead dog. .

"No." Xu You murmured in a low voice, and upon hearing her words, Rider followed and glanced at Lancer who was directly opposite, and she seldom asked, "Going to save him?"

Xu You nodded, but at this moment, her hands that had no strength grabbed the rider's skirt with all her might.

Obviously the blindfold was bound, but the rider lowered his head as if to look at the person in his arms, and then, after receiving Matou Sakura's approval, he summoned Pegasus born from his own blood.

The white Pegasus came from the sky, as if it had descended from the sky with a holy light, the rider took Xu You to sit on it, and then galloped towards the black mud.

No one stopped it, or after the Holy Grail was activated, Gilgamesh's purpose had been achieved.Not to mention that now he is being pestered by Emiya Shirou and Saber, and has no time to care about what happened in mid-air, and on the other hand, Kotomine Kirei is also talking to Tohsaka Rin about her father, because the previous generation's The grievances are still there, and the fight over there is no easier than here, but because Archer is by Tohsaka Rin's side, there will be no danger at all.

has changed.After Xu You hurriedly glanced at the situation under his eyes, he somehow remembered the endings of the game when he played the game.The current situation has completely deviated from the ending of the game, and has gone in a completely different direction, so... Lancer will definitely survive.

Pegasus flew extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, the rider brought Xu You to the edge of the black mud, but as a servant, even a treasure-level Pegasus couldn't get too close.

"Lancer!" Xu You yelled with difficulty, but Lancer, who had closed his eyes and was about to be swallowed by the black mud, didn't respond at all. "Let me do it."

Seeing Rider leaning out to dig out Lancer, Xu You hurriedly raised his hand to stop her.Xu You has already seen how badly black mud erodes servants in the game, so she didn't think too much about it. After stopping the rider, she leaned out her upper body decisively, trying hard to grab Lancer's exposed hand .

It was this hand that threw her out just now, he didn't even have the strength to take it back, it just hung loosely outside, and then was slowly swallowed by the black mud.

Xu You frowned, and opened his mouth to shout again, but his throat seemed to be stuck by something, and he couldn't make any sound at all.

The usually arrogant face had fallen into a deep sleep at this moment, his eyes were closed, and the corners of his mouth still curled up a little.But his chin had already sunk into the black mud, and it seemed that even the corner of his raised mouth was about to be buried.

"Lan... lancer..." grunted from his throat reluctantly, not like calling someone, but more like a booster to motivate himself.Xu You stretched out his hand again, and his fingers, which had been blown unconscious by the wind of the night, finally reached the hand that was hanging outside this time.

That finger was already a little stiff, icy cold, even colder than her hand.If it wasn't for Lancer's hand as far as he could see, Xu You even felt that he had touched a hand-shaped ice cube.

"Hmm..." As soon as he grabbed that hand, Xu You was dragged by the sinking force and fell, but the rider had quick eyesight and quick hands, and grabbed her waist and pulled her back.

Xu You was also taken aback, but she didn't let go, and her cold hands held on to those fingers tightly.

The temperature in December is terribly low, especially when the night wind blows, it seems to be able to freeze people into ice cubes.Xu You barely opened one eye, and the person in front of him was still sinking in his blurred vision due to exhaustion.

Rider was still hugging her, and his other hand wanted to help her pull up Lancer, but the speed of swallowing the black mud in front of him was gradually accelerating.Xu You only felt slippery in his palm, and the few fingers that he finally reached just now slipped down inadvertently.

"Lancer, no..." There was only half of one hand left outside. When Xu You looked over, the few remaining fingers were completely swallowed by the black mud.Her hand was still trying to reach forward, and her fingers slid across, but after all, she caught nothing... There was nothing there.

Disappeared!Be devoured!

everything is over!

Xu You watched helplessly as Hei Ni ate his lancer.

Yes, her lancer...

"No—" There was a momentary blank in his mind, and the next second Xu You felt a sharp pain in his lower back, and something that was suppressed before was gradually breaking through the barrier of magic power and began to scurry in his body.

"It's the limit, I'll take you down." Rider also felt deeply sorry for not being able to save Lancer, but seeing the black mud that seemed to suddenly go berserk in front of her, her always calm face couldn't help but wrinkle.The black mud that swallowed Lancer seemed to be more active than before, like a volcano about to erupt, which gave Rider a bad premonition.

On the contrary, the person in her arms was extremely calm. Rider lowered his head and looked, and saw countless red Command Seals appearing on Xu You's body at some point. These traces seemed to be alive, spreading towards her whole body.

For a moment, the rider was a little uncertain about what happened to this person, but no matter how he looked at it, this person didn't seem to be okay.

"Xu You." Rider tried to call softly, and the person who was held in her arms slowly raised his head, his eyes that turned blood red at some point stared at her firmly.At this moment, an inexplicable voice came from his mind, and the rider almost subconsciously threw this person out.

"Rider——" Matou Sakura kept looking at them, she was stunned when she saw Rider's actions, and took two steps forward in disbelief.

"Don't come over." The rider didn't have time to check how the person she threw out was doing, so he turned around and let Pegasus fly down.

Although it is not clear who was talking, but at that moment, rider did hear someone asking her to throw Xu You out. This human body, which is suspected to be the container of the Holy Grail, also ran away after Lancer was completely swallowed.

Rider hugged Matou Sakura in his arms and kept Pegasus away from the black mud, before she turned to look at the high platform that seemed to be piled up of black mud in midair.Xu You, whose body was covered with red command spells, stood on it like a puppet, opposite to the magic circle that appeared on the other side at some point.

With the flash of light, a figure suddenly appeared on the magic circle.Although the rider has never met this person, his intuition tells her that this is the person who reminded her just now.

This person who suddenly appeared on the battlefield was wearing a white dress, and his long orange-red hair tied into double ponytails was still dazzling even against the black background.This person didn't say anything, but at this moment, everyone's eyes were on her. They saw her raise the magic wand in her hand, and the magic device, which had already changed the bombardment mode, unfolded a magic circle, and locked onto it in midair. Holes that still flow out of black mud—

The place that was supposed to be connected to the "root", since it was opened until now, has been continuously gushing out the "evil of this world".

……

"Xu, Xu You..."

It seemed that he heard someone calling his name, but the voice was so unfamiliar that Xu You was dazed for a moment.

"It's all right now." The soothing voice sounded again, as if it was right next to my ear, but it seemed as if there was something through it.

Xu You tried to move her eyelids, but it was a pity that this thing seemed to be against her from before, she couldn't open her eyes, she just felt that her eyelids were as heavy as a thousand catties.But it was a little different from before, this time I didn't feel any pain in my body, even the discomfort in my lower back disappeared, and my whole body seemed to be surrounded by something warm, which made me feel comfortable all over.

Perhaps it was too comfortable, and there was no magic power running around in the body. Xu You only moved a few times, and after realizing that his hands and feet were not in control, he fell asleep again indifferently.

When she woke up again, she still couldn't open her eyes immediately, but compared to the vague feeling last time, this time her consciousness seemed a little clearer.

Xu You felt as if she was placed in the water, the warm liquid wrapped her body, as if returning to the mother's womb, she felt a comfortable feeling nestled in the amniotic fluid.

"...So, it's all you!!" The voice seemed to come in through something, if so, Xu You knew whose voice it was this time. "If it weren't for you, my baby wouldn't have suffered this kind of crime, and look at what you look like now..."

Xu's father seemed to be extremely excited, and Xu You dared to assure him that he must have said these words more than once, and he probably would repeat them every time he saw this person.

"Ah? Shut up, you bastard." The deep voice was full of laziness, and it seemed that he was not very willing to deal with Dad Xu.

Xu You was also very familiar with this voice, but compared to the previous one full of disdain and arrogance, this time the voice seemed a little deeper.Even so, Xu You recognized that it was Lancer's voice.

Lancer is still there, he has not disappeared.

A moment of joy filled Xu You's heart. She didn't know what happened, and she didn't even know if the sound just now was her hallucination.

In her last memory, she clearly saw the black mud swallowing lancer, but she had no memory of what happened afterwards, and the only memory left was the last time she woke up and heard someone tell her "It's alright" words.

As she began to recall, her body consciousness seemed to gradually recover.

This time she could clearly feel that she was immersed in the liquid, but it was amazing that she could breathe in this liquid.

"Hey! Why did you stand up all of a sudden, hey, what about you..." When facing this guy, Xu's father seemed to have given all the upbringing of the past few years to the dog, and Xu You could hear her father's tone dissatisfaction and frustration.

But in the next second, there was a knock directly in front of her, as if someone had slapped the glass with their hands.

thump—

"Stop pretending, I know you're awake." The low and lazy voice slowly drifted in like the tone of a cello.

Xu You forced herself to open her eyes, this time her eyelids were finally not against her, she opened them.At the same time, the crowd around seemed to be agitated, and chaotic voices kept ringing out.

wow-

The liquid surrounding her body began to descend, and she opened her eyes. At first, there was only a dazzling light, but as her feet touched the ground, a blurry figure finally appeared in her vision.But before she could see it clearly, her unaccustomed feet were about to fall down weakly, just in time for the glass cover that isolated her from the outside world to rise, and a hand reached in from the outside to carefully support her.

"Lancer..." Xu You raised his eyes, but finally he didn't see the familiar blue figure in his vision.

The person in front of him was wearing a dark blue hood, and the red tattoo on his cheek also abruptly showed the difference from before... Xu You was stunned, looked up and down, and saw that the person in front of him was wearing a lancer But he was not wearing the blue tights he usually wears in battle, but nothing, standing in front of him naked with a large red tattoo on his chest.

"La... lancer??" Xu You once again set his eyes on this person, and the person in front of him frowned, looking at her impatiently.

"Xiaoyou!!" Dad Xu stood aside, unwilling to be lonely and rushed over with his coat.

Xu You originally wanted to ask who the person in front of her was, but she didn't open her mouth. Xu's father snatched his precious daughter, raised his hand and put the coat on Xu You who was soaking wet.

The author has something to say: I originally thought that I could finish off ordinary people, and then I would fill in this hole.

Unexpectedly, I overestimated my speed too much. Ordinary people may have to go on for another ten days and a half months_(:з」∠)_
