The Ultimate Lich King

"I'm so lucky...Before the war started, I was able to walk in this city with you, Ye Yu, just like an ordinary couple."

Irisviel gently touched her hair and said this with a faint smile.

For some reason, looking at the smile on Irisviel's face, all Ye Yu could feel was endless sadness.

Ye Yu felt that something was wrong very early on. As the time of the Holy Grail War continued to approach, Irisviel's situation became more and more wrong.

If I had to describe it, it would be that I was determined to die. Irisviel seems to know that she will die in this Holy Grail War, and she shows infinite nostalgia for this world in every aspect.

But why is this like this... The war has not officially started yet, so why do you look so determined?

Even if the Holy Grail War is lost... Ye Yu can confidently escape unscathed. Why does Irisviel look like this?

Just when Ye Yu was thinking about this key question, Flandre, who had always looked like a well-behaved little girl curiously looking at everything around her, suddenly frowned slightly.

At the same time, Irisviel and Ye Yu also felt something.

"An enemy Servant?"

Irisviel spoke with some uncertainty. In fact, her level as a magician was not very good, but this unbridled magic power was too high-profile.

It feels like I am deliberately releasing my power to attract other people's attention.

"Yes... there are two breaths. It seems that the two sides have reached a certain consensus and are moving in a certain direction."

The distance is not very far, only about a few hundred meters away. It seems that one Servant released his aura first, and then attracted another Servant. The two were choosing a venue to start the competition.

"What to do now master?"

After entering the fighting state, Flandre seemed to be a different person. The girl changed her innocent impression not long ago, and asked Ye Yu indifferently.

"Follow me and take a look. Maybe you can gain something."

Ye Yu said this, Flandoru nodded, and immediately the group rushed towards the place where the two auras were heading.

Fuyuki city, night, port.

A man and a woman were facing each other in the dark.

When Ye Yu, Flandreau and Irisviel came here following the breath, what they saw was a picture like this.

"I'm finally here. I've been waiting for a long time, but no one dares to come here... The only one who responds to me is you."

The male Servant holding the gun said with a chuckle. The two guns in his hand were wrapped and entangled from the handle to the blade by a kind of charm-like cloth, making their true colors invisible. It was probably a countermeasure devised to hide the true name of the Noble Phantasm.

There is no doubt that this Servant who boldly releases his aura and attracts everyone is Lancer.

Lancer's heroic spirit praised in a low but clear voice. He did not assume a fighting posture, but asked questions to the woman standing in front of him with a calm expression.

"A rather fierce fighting spirit... I think you are Saber, am I right?"

"Yes. You are Lancer."

"Exactly...Ha, I didn't expect that before a fight to the death, I could introduce myself to my opponent in such a normal way. But I couldn't help myself." Saber agreed with this sentence, and her cold expression softened slightly. Come down.

"There's nothing we can do about it. This is not what we are fighting for our honor. You should have given the gun in your hand to your master."

"Ha...that's right." He didn't look like a man who was about to risk his life in battle at all. Instead, he smiled with a relaxed expression.

"Then... let's get started."

Lancer lifted the long spear on his shoulder and twisted his backhand into a fighting stance. He also slowly raised the short gun with his left hand. The two guns were spread out and waved like wings. This was a fighting posture that had never been seen before.

Saber also released the surging fighting spirit. The burst of magic stirred up a whirlwind-like airflow in the air, and the airflow enveloped the girl's petite body. In an instant, her whole body was wrapped in silver armor, and the magic turned into armor and gauntlets. And this is the true face of this knight king.

The battle between the two Servants was about to break out, but what worried Ye Yu was that neither side saw the master.

"Is this... is this girl King Arthur? The Servant summoned by the holy relic that originally belonged to our Einzbern?!"

After confirming Saber's identity, Irisviel exclaimed in a low voice.

"It seems like she is right, but why is it a girl?"

Ye Yu was a little hard to understand, and he couldn't accept that the famous King Arthur was actually a girl.

He was chatting with Irisviel, while Flandre looked at the two Servants confronting each other with interest, with an inquiring look on her face.

"What do you think of their strength, Flandre?"

Seeing Flandol's appearance, Ye Yu asked curiously.

"Are they idiots... Why do they talk so much nonsense before starting a fight? Can't they just attack directly?"

"Because they were once great heroes. They might not bother to do such things. Even if they fight, they will duel like knights."

"But that's stupid."

After Irisviel said this, Ye Yu also added.

"This is the Holy Grail War, not a hero game. Victory is the first goal, and everything else is arbitrary."

Ye Yu said this, and Flandol on the side seemed to agree with her master's words and nodded slightly.

"The battle between Servants is no longer important. What I'm more worried about now is Emiya Kiritsugu... what this man will do."

Ye Yu said this with a somewhat serious expression.

"Perhaps he is lying in ambush around here waiting for the masters of other Servants to show up... This man is a ruthless guy who can do anything."
