The Endless Shuttle

"But……"

"Please believe me!" Saber resolutely replied. "Only this opponent, I will never let him down again!"

Immediately, Saber thought of the vicious curse that the man in front of him uttered at the end.

‘Unforgivable... Absolutely cannot forgive you! The dead who have been captured by fame and wealth and belittled the knight Rongyao... just use my blood to defile that dream! I curse the Holy Grail! Curse your wish to be a disaster! When you fall into the cauldron of hell, don't forget my wrath, Diarmuid! '

This time, I will let you die in a fair duel, and I will never let those evil heretics tarnish the knight's honor. Saber clenched the sword in her hand and thought firmly.

Irisviel opened her mouth, then took a step back wordlessly, and handed over the battlefield and all judgments to Saber.

The enemy is right in front of us, now is not the time to worry about these things.

"Oh...although I don't know what you mean by 'again'..."

Lancer looked at his yellow rose with a wry smile. "Sure enough, it's not a good thing to be too famous. I thought I would have a slight advantage here, and I could play a little clever..."

‘My lord, your calculation is completely wrong. The other party not only took the initiative to report his name, but also saw through my real name. Do you want to fight directly next time? ’ Diarmuid asked inwardly.

'...'

'Lord? '

'...Go to fight, I have something to think about here, don't bother me'

'yes! '

Hearing Luo Pei's order, Diarmuid showed a smile on his face.

He raised the long spear on his shoulder, turned his backhand and put on a fighting posture. The left hand also slowly raised the short gun. The posture in which the two guns are spread out and waved like wings is a fighting posture that has never been seen before.

"Saber, I appreciate your courage to declare your real name. Therefore, I, Diarmuid Odina, will also respond to you. Let us place the glory on our spears and swords!"

"exactly."

Saber smiled and placed the sword on the right side of her body.

The next moment, the sound of metal clashing sounded.

——The first battle officially begins.

——

"etc!"

Rope frowned displeased.

"Why would Saber know Lancer's real name? This is different from the original book."

Why on earth, the butterfly effect that killed Kenneth himself?

"No, there must be a deeper reason..."

Luo Pei began to bite his nails fiercely, and his mind was spinning wildly. "Could it be that Emiya Kiritsugu's eyeliner in the clock tower informed Kenneth of the holy relic? Very likely, it's just a slight deviation, and it's still under control!"

No, I can't look at it like this anymore, I have to do something.

Luo Pei stared hard, stood up and walked out.

His position happened to be at the back of the battlefield, covered by shadows, so neither Assassin nor Emiya Kiritsugu's duo would have time to notice Lopez. But he happened to know where Emiya Kiritsugu was hiding, as long as he quietly approached him within 20 meters, and then used the Madness Hell to make a sneak attack, even if he didn't die, he would become disabled.

With his back against the shadows, Luo Pei sneaked cautiously.

Despite the obstruction of the container, the crisp sound of guns and swords meeting reached Luo Pei's ears.

He glanced through the gap.

Diarmuid is fighting against Saber because of his improved attributes and his superior martial arts. If he hadn't liberated Red Rose and couldn't know the exact shape of Saber's sword, he might have been there long ago. The knight king had wounds on his body.

But it's strange, even a martial arts layman like Luo Pei can see that Saber obviously has reservations, whether it's a move or dodge, there is a strange feeling that he has seen through Diarmuid's fighting style.

It's like... I've fought against him before.

Diarmuid is a character in Celtic mythology. No matter how you think about it, it is impossible to communicate with King Arthur in the Middle Ages, right?

Throwing the unreliable thoughts out of his head, Luo Pei pointed his finger between his eyebrows.

'Lancer, don't hold back anymore, use your Noble Phantasm. Now that her real name has been seen through, she is probably also guarding against your pair of magic spears. Instead of shrinking her hands now, she might as well draw all favorable conditions to herself. '

Hearing the voice coming from his mind, Diarmuid smiled slightly, and Red Rose flicked vigorously, the muscle strength as high as A caught off guard and forced Saber ten meters away.

"It's a pleasure fighting with you, King of Knights." Diarmuid said heartily.

"But unfortunately, my Master is a little impatient, and I will use my full strength next, you have to be careful."

"Come on, number one warrior of Fiona Knights."

The sword in Saber's hand began to gather wind, which was the prelude to her use of the 'Wind King Barrier'.

Chapter 20 Hiding Failure

The wind howled.

The atmosphere was torn apart, compressed, and finally gathered on Saber's sword, and even the holy sword, which was originally invisible, faintly revealed a rudimentary form.

"Is it really okay to expose your sword to my sight? My eyes, once you see it, you will never remember it wrong. If you want to hide the sword again, you will never be able to do it."

"It doesn't matter."

Saber pointed her sword at Lancer and said with a serious expression. "My 'Wind King Barrier' is constructed with magic power, which is powerless in front of your 'Demon-breaking Red Rose'."

"Ha, my hole cards are really seen through."

Diarmuid shook his head and raised his two guns. On the long and short guns, one red and one yellow, the bandages covered with spells were slowly released, revealing the ominous magic power like a mirage.

Saber also lowered her body. Predict Lancer's actions more carefully.

Being stabbed is no joke, because I know the function of those two guns, I have to be more careful, otherwise I may withdraw from the Holy Grail War.

Finally, the liberated Lancer rushed over.

Compared with the gorgeous and changeable moves he used before. The straight stroke even feels clunky. It was as if he didn't predict Saber's next move at all, no, he didn't even intend to defend against her counterattack.

Just like last time, do you want to use my carelessness to pierce the armor built with magic power?

"Do you think I will be fooled a second time in the same situation?"

Whispering softly, Saber raised her sword high.
