Joining the fight against the dragons, Gwen battles Vlad in a duel to the death.
Skilfully, Gwen blocked one of Vlad's attacks before trying to cut him using her scissors just for him to dodge it with no problems.
"You're very powerful, but I'm afraid you're no match for me" - Vlad said while preparing his lance.
"For someone that's supposed to ve evil, you're quite the polite man" - Gwen remarked before readying her own weapon.
"I thank that comment, but unfortunetly I'm losing my sanity because of the Berserk state. This is as far as I can go" -
"Let's waste no more time then, I'll trike you down with all I got!" -
Generating three needles, Gwen sued them as projectiles against Vlad, piercing his body and allowing her to go for a killing blow, but was stopped by bloddy spikes coming out of the ground.
She reacted as fast as she could, generating the Hallowed Mist in order to block this attacks but that gave Vlad enough time to regain his strenght and nearly stab her in the face.
Her opponent was something different of what she previously faced in Runaterra as she had never seen something like him. The only one that came close was Vladimir from Noxus, and even then they still were very different.
"I hope you're prepared to meet your creator, I'm going all in... KAZIKLI BEY!" -
Vlad out of nowhere unleashed his Noble Phantasm onto Gwen, who had no way to block it since her Hallowed Mist had alredy been used, but suddenly.
"LORD CHALDEAS!" -
The pink haired girl identified as Mash appeared in front of her and deployed what seemed to be a giant version of her shield, blocking Vlad's attack.
"Are you ok Gwen?" - she asked while sweating from the effort.
"Yes, thanks a lot" - the girl answered before grabing her scissors - "Cover me, I'll finish him off before he can even get the chance to react" -
"Fine, go for it" -
Gwen jumped from behind Mash, evading Vlad's Noble Phantasm with her Hallowed Mist until she was close enough. With one precise hit, she pierced his neck and nearly cut his head, but was pushed back with one hit of his lance.
"How?" -
"Battle Continuation" - Mash said getting close to her - "My battle is alredy over, I'll join you" -
"Gwen, form a contract with me!" - the man with black hair said, coming from behind Mash - "I can provide you with mana if you do" -
"A contract? What's that?" - Gwen asked, not knowing what he was talking about.
"Servants can form a contract with a Master so he can provide them with mana, so let's do one!" -
Gwen didn't understood what he meant, but when he extended his hand to her, she took it with no hesitatin. Suddenly, her body felt filled with energy, one that felt similar to Runaterra's magic.
"Nice to meet you Gwen, I'm your new Master, Ritsuka Fujimaru" - the boy with black hair said - "Now, join us to defeat the Dragon Witch" -
"Very well... Master, I'll join you" - Gwen said.
She and Mash started to fight Vlad again, and now with her help, Gwen had an easier time in handling her enemy, who was now fighting in a more brutal manner and started creating spikes made out of blood in order to try to kill both of them.
Using her shield, Mash managed to block one of the hits, distracting Vlad and allowing Gwen to cut one of his arms and stab him in the stomach. That hit managed to stun him for a while, but wasn't able to put him down for good.
"He's going to get back up, we need to finish him quick" - Mash said while preparing her shield - "Gwen, use your Noble Phantasm and finish him off" -
"My what?" -
"Your Noble Phantasm... Tell me you can use a Noble Phantasm" - Ritsuka said, looking at Gwen with a worrying face - "A Noble Phantasm is the encarnation of a Servant's legend, and all of them has one" -
The encarnation of a legend... If Gwen was a Servant, then she would need to remember what would be her legend...
"I got it!" - Gwen dropped her scissors in the ground - "Master, if you said that you can provide me with more mana, do it now" -
Filling Gwen with mana using a Command Seal, the girl started to charg"e at Vlad while in her hands, giant phantasmal needles appeared.
"My creator is still with me, her soul is one with mine, her wish is one I'll always follow. By my power, evil shall dissapear!" - 9 needles were shot against Vlad at the same time, stabbing his chest - "Needles of the Hallow Lands!" -
Using the string holding the needles, Gwen pulled all of them at once, destroying a great part of Vlad's body before he had a chance to get back up again.
"Sorry, but I won't let you hurt anyone" - Gwen said while summoning her scissors in hand.
"That was incredible Gwen!" - Ritsuka said while smiling - "You're incredible!" -
"Very impressive" - Mash said as well. The praise Gwen recieved made her blush a little bit.
They were ready to leave, but coughing stopped them. Vlad, in some way, was still alive.
"So... This is as far as I'll go here" -
"How are you still here? That sould've killed you" -
"Servants don't die easily Gwen, however my time is almost over. I'll dissapear at any moment" - the Lancer Servant said, his body destroyed, arms and legs cut off and needles stabbing his chest and one of them in his eye - You, the Master" -
"I'm here Vlad, what do you want?" - Ritsuka said, looking at what remained of the Servant.
"Your commands are admirable. After seeing you during the battles we had, I trust you'll become someone with great power in the future" - Vlad said as golden particles started to surround his body - "I wish for you to summon me later, I'll show you the power of the lance that led a country, my full power" -
With those words, Vlad dissapeared in the air.
"I'll try to Vlad, I'll try" - the Master said with a soft smile - "Come on, we have a lot more to do" -
The giant dragon Gwen saw before roared with great strenght before looking at them 3 and launching several fireballs, which she blocked using her Hallowed Mist with Mash's shield.
"Mash, Gwen, we'll join Siegfried. It's time to kill a dragon" -
Needles of the Hallow Lands.
Rank: B+
Type: Anti Unit / Anti Evil
The needles used by Gwen's creator, Isolde, in order to make the doll. After she came to life, those same needles were powered up by the Hallowed Mist, now serving as tools to destroy Ruined beings and spectres of the Black Mist.
When Gwen became a Servant after arriving at Orleans, those needles became one of her 2 Noble Phantasm, and they're powered up if the target she strikes corresponds to the "Chaotic" or "Evil" alignments.
