Chapter 4: First Battle
※※※※※※※※※※※※
"SERVANTS, LOWER YOUR WEAPONS! ¡A KING HAS ARRIVED!
After Rider 's absurd statement Ⅰ with a tone of voice filled with power that would intimídate any normal human being, but in the presence of the 4 Servants who are famous Heroic Spirits a shout from a Servant would not intimidate them.
Out of nowhere the tension in the air seemed to have evaporated with the presence of this RiderⅠ
'Who is he?'
Shirou took a quick look at the Servant trying to analyze his identity with his eyes, but before he could figure out the identity of the fifth Servant joining the battle.
"My name is Alejandro, King of Conquerors. I am participating in this Holy Grail War and received the Rider class," said the imposing RiderⅠin his carriage.
This certainly made all the bystanders and Servants in the battle widen their eyes in disbelief at the Servant who just revealed his identity as if he didn't care.
(A/N: Alejandro being Alejandro xDDD)
'Because I reveal his identity that doesn't make sense.' These thoughts ran through Kiritsugu's mind because he certainly wasn't in his plans for a Servant to reveal his identity at the start of the Grail War.
For the 4 Servants and Irisviel looked at the scene without knowing how to proceed, because the Servants' action was somewhat illogical, they all had thoughts in their minds about what he planned to do RiderⅠ by naming himself.
When suddenly a voice came from the carriage the Servant was in.
"WH - WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, YOU STUPID ASSHOLE?"
This certainly caught the attention of all the surrounding Masters and Servants, and they could notice an angry teenager next to the huge Servant.
Waver honestly couldn't care less if everyone found out that he was RiderⅠ's master or the fear of him for getting on the carriage just now and he also forgot how afraid he was of him, but now he was at the height of his anger. . So in front of all the Servants he acted by pulling RiderⅠ's cloak angrily.
Certainly many of the surrounding Servants and Masters were surprised by the following action of the Servant who simply knocked out his Master with a tap on the forehead, that exceeded everyone's expectations and RiderⅠ simply proceeded to ignore his Master who fainted in his carriage, proceeding to look at the battle opponents.
"I see that their fight is interesting, and I don't know what I want to expect from the grail. But I doubt that his desires are greater than longing to possess all the earth and the sky.
SaberⅠhearing such words from the Servant felt a sense of danger. And his instincts kept her ready, for whatever move RiderⅠ made.
Both Servants of the spear had a pretty good idea of what the Servant was referring to.
Irisviel confused by Rider Ⅰ's verbiage was about to ask. When her Servant Shirou was determined to speak at the same time that she said the answer to her confusion.
"You're practically telling us to leave you the Greater Grail."
"Oh, I see you're smart, you tell me your name" she said with dignity.
"My name is Shirou, that's enough information I can give you" she answered seriously as she exchanged glances with Rider Ⅰ.
"Oh, you certainly have enough guts to look back at me, well I rate you as a true Heroic Spirit."
Surprised at how Rider Ⅰ ranked him, he certainly made him frown, as he reminded him of a certain golden Servant.
"But if answering your question. If you stop claiming for the grail, I will consider you as friends, and I will share with you the joy of conquering the world" I speak with dignity, but if you noticed her tone of voice, it was certainly much softer and more delicate.
"…."
After said words once again the battlefield was completely silent, like at the Beginning when Rider Ⅰ appeared. And what can you expect? Saber Ⅰ and Irisviel were stunned, especially Arturia who was starting to get furious.
On his opposite side both spear Servants, were equally stunned, but certainly Lancer Ⅱ, he recovered faster and returned the answer.
"Heh, indeed, you are an extraordinary Heroic Spirit. I admire your audacity in declaring your identity, however…. I'm afraid I don't agree with your proposal." Turning his head to both sides with a smile, but if one looked into his eyes there was no laughter in them, just a fierce look reminiscent of a dog when hunting and Rider Ⅰ was the prey.
"Also let me say I certainly don't give a damn about the Grail, but my master will be the one to get it. Now let me ask you, did you stop our fight just to declare your nonsense?
Having finished saying what Lancer Ⅱ wanted, he unleashed a tremendous bloodlust on the Servant, waiting for her response, if it didn't satisfy him, everyone on the battlefield was sure that he would attack Rider Ⅰ.
"Your joke was greatly exaggerated, King of Conquerors. This is unbearable humiliation for a gentleman" Saber Ⅰ said with an expression opposite to Lancer Ⅱ where he didn't have a smile, just a serious look, but a cold tone.
Lancer Ⅰ was also upset, and he felt that he had been insulted.
Feeling the hostile gazes of the Servants, Rider Ⅰ proceeded to massage his temples with his fingers feigning a headache, but his magnificent pose never changed, it's as if he didn't take the Servants in front of him seriously.
"Are you going to offer a deal?"
"ENOUGH!" Saber Ⅰ and Lancer Ⅱ yelled at the same time because they were both tired of Rider Ⅰ's attempted fawning.
Saber Ⅰ had a look of disappointment written on his face, but no one noticed, the only one who noticed was Shirou and he thinks he has an idea of what's going on in Arturia's mind.
Lancer Ⅱ wasn't as patient as Saber Ⅰ and decided to attack Rider Ⅰ wielding the spear he proceeded to get into an attack pose and lunge.
Noticing Lancer Ⅱ's intentions, Rider Ⅰ certainly looked at him.
"Geez the negotiations failed, what a waste it's a pity"
Lancer Ⅱ soon after starting his attack, he saw the master who was knocked out in the carriage get up again and crawl by the Servant's legs until once again pulling his cloak, this action certainly made him frown and stop to attack. .
"Ri, de, eeer…" "Ri, de, eeer…"
Waver said that he was crawling under Rider Ⅰ's feet with a look that was full of hate, he certainly had pain on his swollen forehead, but that didn't stop him from claiming his Servant.
"W-w-now what? Talking over and over about conquering, and people don't like you… do you really think you can beat 4 Servants?"
The stocky Servant faced the Master's question of him without any sign of remorse, instead he began to laugh heartily.
"Er, well, isn't there a saying that actions speak a thousand words?"
"And your action is just saying your real name just like that!?"
Waver was so furious that he felt his head fuming. Using both of his weak fists, he continued to hammer Rider Ⅰ's pectoral, who was only standing still, and began to cry.
Looking at this sad situation, Irisviel felt neither contempt nor sympathy. She just felt that she couldn't take it anymore.
In the midst of the comical atmosphere of the master and servant duo. A voice came from nowhere.
"I found you snotty"
No one could tell if the hidden magus that spoke was male or female, furthermore ever since he ordered LancerⅠ to use his noble Phantams, he has always been calmly watching the battle.
"And here I was wondering why you had stolen my Holy Relic in your outrage – I didn't think you had the guts to join Heaven's Feel on your own, Waver Velvet"
Now certainly many could tell that the tone of voice sounded a little different, this time mixed with resentment and hatred.
Waver knowing the intellectual mind behind the voice and out of resentment and hatred that he feels for her began to crouch down on the carriage at the same time that he trembled.
"Uh...uh..."
"What a pity. She's an embarrassment, seriously. I really wanted my poor beloved, student to be happy. Waver, someone as mediocre as you only deserves to possess the calm and stable life of commoners"
Waver feeling so much fear especially from a magus' true desire to kill and the worst thing was that he was unable to determine where the voice came from.
The owner of the voice looked at the petrified fear on Waver's face with his sharp gaze. With a tone of cold mockery that sent Waver's hair standing up to the end, he continued to speak as if playing with Waver.
"Well, nothing can be done to him, Waver-kun. Let me give you an extra class. As my student… I will kill you quickly and painlessly. You should be proud"
In fact, Waver was already trembling with fear, even without paying attention to the humiliation those words brought.
Then something place into the thin shoulders of the boy, who was shaking with terror, in a gentle and powerful embrace.
Waver was stunned by the rough yet gentle touch. Placing his hand the Servant with brute fingers that were dense with calluses that could induce fear to the little Master spoke.
"Hey, magus. If I understand correctly, you were supposed to be my Master instead of this guy, apparently."
Rider Ⅰ called out to the invisible Master. At the same time, his face was covered and twisted by a wide smile of mischievous pity.
"That thought is beyond ridiculous. The man who wishes to be my Master should be a warrior who rides with me to the battlefield, not a coward who doesn't even dare show his face."
Saber Ⅰ, Lancer Ⅰ, Lancer Ⅱ certainly agreed with the words spoken by the burly Servant.
Silence descended; only the fury of the unseen Master could be felt spreading through the night air.
Rider Ⅰ suddenly laughed into the empty sky, a roaring laugh that exhausted the air in his lungs.
"SALT! THERE MUST BE OTHERS. FRIENDS WHO ARE HIDING IN THE DARK AND SPYING ON US!"
'What is he planning, Rider Ⅰ' Shirou thought.
"Saber Ⅰ and Lancer Ⅰ, their frontal battle is the most excellent and fine. The clear sound made by the clash of sword and spear would perhaps attract more than one Heroic Spirit, don't you think?"
Irisviel was trembling at the thought that Kiritsugu might have been discovered from his unknown hiding place, but Rider Ⅰ only has the mind of another Servant. Rider Ⅰ wanted to deliver the deafening sound to all the surrounding corners, and he yelled once more.
"What a shame. Seriously, what a shame! The Heroes Gathered in Fuyuki! Seeing the prowess displayed by the two Servants' fight, doesn't it cause any feelings in you? Having a name that deserves praise and yet they secretly hide and spy on; what cowardice Even a Heroic Spirit would be uneasy hearing this, huh?"
After another fit of laughter, Rider Ⅰ tilted her head with a fearless expression at the corners of his mouth, ending with a challenging look.
"The Heroic Spirits invited by the Holy Grail, are gathered here right now! For those cowards afraid to show their faces, save yourselves the humiliation of having Alexander, King of Conquerors, deal with you. Get ready!"
Rider Ⅰ's enthusiastic speech even passed to Kiritsugu, it was also heard by Maiya, in the opposite position of Kiritsugu.
"…Did that fool manage to conquer the world?"
"…."
Maiya certainly thought that Rider Ⅰ is nothing more than a clown, but Kiritsugu simply decided to stay out of what the Servant said.
※※※※※※※※※※※※
Assassin Ⅰ who was hiding in the perfect place to observe the battle, and was also secretly observing Kirei, saw all of RiderⅠ's actions and heard his nonsense words through his connection with Assassin Ⅰ. Since Kirei was in the distant Fuyuki church, he also reported everything he saw and heard to Tokiomi through the communication jewel next to him.
From the distant Tohsaka residence such an absurd sentence was heard.
"… This is bad"
Kirei frowned and nodded.
"Of course"
Tokiomi and Kirei didn't scorn Rider Ⅰ's nonsense talk like Kiritsugu did. The reason was that they both thought of a particular Heroic Spirit, who would never ignore something like Rider Ⅰ's challenging words.
※※※※※※※※※※※※
After Rider Ⅰ's absurd roar, Shirou honestly didn't believe that the surrounding Servants would give his presence away. But contrary to his expectations, he observed how a Servant materialized 10 meters above the top of a light pole.
This shocked the onlookers by the presence of a sixth Servant on the battlefield.
※※※※※※※※※※※※
Currently on Mount Enzou where it was supposed to be a rocky and mountainous area, but it was not like that because currently a large fortress could be seen built on said mountain.
A beautiful woman who would make thousands of men fight for her was inside the fortress in an elegantly decorated room.
Semiramis Assasin Ⅱ currently sitting on what looked like a throne was watching what happened in Fuyuki port by her familiar, a gray dove.
"Oh, I see that those Servants are strong, but sooner or later they will fall for my poison... especially that red-haired knight, I want it for myself" she said with a smile on her beautiful face, but the tone of voice she just used would cause chills to anyone near her.
"However, that golden Servant seems to be a variant, especially since I feel divinity in him, that means he has to be the son of a god and a mortal"
Before she could, gathering information about the Servants in the port. I watch as the golden Servant turned his red eyes in the direction of her familiar.
For some strange reason that look that was directed at her contained pure contempt and mockery of her that angered her, because she would have to be despised by another half-blood Servant like him.
Determined to replace her anger, she also looked at the golden Servant with derision.
As if sensing the taunt through the familiar, she watched as the Servant changed her expression to anger and before she could react, she could only watch as portals opened around ArcherⅠ.
Moments later she couldn't grasp anything, she couldn't even figure out what killed her familiar, she just got the feeling that Archer Ⅰ is very dangerous.
※※※※※※※※※※※※
Waver, Irisviel, Kiritsugu and any Masters around them frowned upon seeing the presence of the golden armored Servant that just materialized because apart from releasing a divine presence it's the same Servant that killed AssasinⅠ.
"I didn't expect that there would be 1 fool out of 4 Servants, who would have the insolence to call themselves 'king' and ignore me."
From her first words, the golden Heroic Spirit looked displeased, looking down on the 5 Servants. His arrogance and tone of his was comparable to Rider Ⅰ's dignity, but unlike the mount's Servant. In him there was never cruelty and hatred in his voice and eyes of the King of Conquerors.
Even Rider Ⅰ didn't expect more domineering people than himself to be shown, as he stroked his bewildered chin, staring mischievously into space.
"You are wrong... I, Alexander, am the one who is well known to the whole world as the King of Conquerors."
"Silly. The only hero in Heaven and Earth who is a real hero is me. The rest are collections of mestizos"
Archer Ⅰ threw that sentence at him with a statement that was more than just an insult. Of course, the color had drained from Saber Ⅰ's face, but the tolerant Rider Ⅰ heaved a shocked sigh, completely ignoring it.
"If you want to brag so badly, could you announce yourself first? If you are such a king, you shouldn't be ashamed of your fame, right?"
At Rider Ⅰ's teasing, Archer Ⅰ's crimson eyes widened in rage as he looked at the giant below him.
"Are you questioning me? A half-breed questioning a king like me?"
Frankly speaking, Rider Ⅰ's question was reasonable, but apparently, Archer Ⅰ took it as unrepentantly disrespectful from his point of view.
This was not a matter of gaining interest from hiding his real name, but rather personal irritability, the golden Heroic Spirit emitting clear killing intent.
"I grant you the honor of my presence, and yet you do not recognize me; in such ignorance it is not even worth living"
At Archer Ⅰ's conclusion, the space around him distorted into golden portals – the next instant, the radiance of beautiful swords began to pour out from an empty space.
When everyone thought that he was about to attack Rider Ⅰ, they noticed how the portals took a different direction and the swords shot out at lightning speed, something that mortals like Kiritsugu and Irisviel were practically unable to see, but for Servants It is not difficult to follow the trajectories of the swords.
At the moment of hitting their target, they couldn't believe that the golden Servant was attacking a simple pigeon, but since no one on the battlefield is a normal Servant, they could tell that he was a familiar.
"Hmph, cheeky wench, dare to look at me like that, I'm the king of heroes" Archer Ⅰ muttered.
Practically only Shirou heard the murmur, and fixed his gaze in the direction of the familiar of the finished magus, trying to obtain some information, but it was impossible, he could not detect if it was a magus or Servant Caster.
※※※※※※※※※※※※
In the darkness, a bloodshot eye stared at the battlefield, Matou Kariya let out a laugh.
"Ha ha ha ha…"
Now was the moment he had been waiting so anxiously for. He had endured a year of living in hell waiting for that moment.
"Kill him…"
In view of, a cursed sworn enemy that took everything Kariya wanted, took everything from he. Now, the old resentment could be removed. This was the moment to face that man, transforming into a sword that boiled with hate in his heart...
There was an unimaginable satisfaction in filling his voice with hate. Now, Kariya understood the meaning of the saying "revenge is best served on a cold plate" Tokiomi can wait.
His Servant must be demolished, to make him lose the War for the Holy Grail. He was in maddening excitement just thinking about Tokiomi's face stained with frustration from humiliation.
"Kill him, Berserker Ⅰ! Pulverize Archer Ⅰ!"
※※※※※※※※※※※※
At that moment, in the port an exorbitant amount of mana began to gather like a torrent.
'Can't it be another Servant? This is going to get complicated' Shirou thought as he frowned.
As everyone watched, the floating prana gathered and solidified, materializing into the shadow of a stout man.
The shadow stood up near the four-lane road that had become the Servants' battleground, two more blocks toward the sea. Really, that was a fantastic apparition that could be described as nothing more than a 'shadow'.
Seeing the new dark servant appear, Lancer Ⅰ became alert, because his instincts told him that he could attack them at any moment.
"Hey, King of Conquerors, did you invite him too?" Lancer Ⅱ asked with a smile.
"Invite him? That does not seem open to negotiations "
"I see he's not your guest, so wouldn't it matter if he attacked him?"
Without waiting for Rider Ⅰ's response, Lancer Ⅱ decided to attack the Dark Servant.
Shirou, Saber Ⅰ, and Lancer Ⅰ were dumbstruck by Lancer Ⅱ's action, but RiderⅠ just let out a simple "Oh!", as if this fight was within his expectation.
But the strangest thing was that Lancer Ⅱ was about to go through the dark servant with Gae Bolg and he was practically still at all times.
When everyone was sure that the dark servant would be pierced by the crimson spear, something unexpected happened.
The Dark Servant narrowly dodged the spear heading for his heart, this surprised LancerⅡ, but he was prepared to dodge any blow the Dark Servant would throw.
But what I never imagined was that after dodging this enemy I just grabbed his spear.
"But wha-" was all Lancer Ⅱ, the dark servant, could say, as he yanked at him with force, landing a blow to his chest and a kick to his shoulder blade forcing him to step back and drop his spear.
That exchange lasted a few seconds, but all the onlookers were shocked at how the enemy managed to disarm Lancer Ⅱ.
"Damn, how dare you grab my weapon," he said furiously.
After which he reached out his hand trying to retrieve his crimson spear, but to everyone's surprise, the spear wouldn't budge from the dark servant's hand. And moments later the shadow around the Servant began to surround the spear, until it was completely covered hiding the spear.
"No, I can believe it, I feel like I just lost connection with my spear."
Lancer Ⅱ spoke in surprise, and this also surprised everyone except RiderⅠ and ArcherⅠ, who simply watched with interest at what just happened.
'Lancer Ⅰ Sophia's Servant needs a weapon, so provide him with one of your spears.'
Those words echoed in his mind through the spirit link of Master and Servant, wanting to refuse, but acknowledging the current situation, they can't be at a disadvantage without a weapon now.
"Hey catch" by throwing the red spear at him, he recognizes that this weapon would be very convenient for Lancer Ⅰ
Lancer Ⅱ wanting to refuse to use another spear other than his own, but in the end he had no choice but to take it, by order of his master.
Once again Lancer Ⅱ equipped with a weapon, the tension in the air seemed to return again. Who was going to start attacking whom? And who was going to make the first move? To survive in this place you need to accurately see through the movements of others, this was a reality for all Heroic Spirits.
For now, Rider Ⅰ did not have any particular goal, his purpose was probably to observe the Heroic Spirits participating in the war for the Holy Grail. But as someone who knows no fear, he was the kind of man who would stand alongside dueling participants.
Archer Ⅰ saw Rider Ⅰ and Saber Ⅰ as his enemies.
The golden Heroic Spirit seemed to take humor in the Servant who called himself 'The King of Conquerors'.
There was only one troublesome person left, the Dark Servant. Berserker Ⅰ. No one could imagine what the black knight's intentions were when he materialized here and now, apart from the fact that he could take over the opponent's weapon and transform it into his own.
No prudent Master would think of putting his Servant in the middle of this chaos. Everyone was cautious because of the action of their opponents, but there was an exception, there was no doubt There was a flicker in Archer Ⅰ's crimson eyes, plus Berserker Ⅰ was looking at him with a look that only contained hatred and killing intent.
The black knight's unpleasant gaze was directed only at him who was standing on top of a lamppost, the Heroic Spirit no doubt seeing this fact.
"Hey crazy dog, do you expect him to feel sorry?"
A look like that was equal to feeling disgusted. Being the target of such a gaze was an intolerable misfortune for Archer Ⅰ. For Archer Ⅰ, who boasted of his dignity and status even more than Rider Ⅰ, Berserker Ⅰ's aggressive looks made him believe that he looked down on him.
Out of nowhere his portals containing his treasured swords and spears changed position, the tips of him now pointing at the new target, which was Berserker Ⅰ.
"You should at least entertain me while you run away, half-breed."
A sword and spear flew through the air aiming at its victim. The Noble Phantasm, which should be a treasure for Heroic Spirits, was carelessly being thrown as if stones were being thrown.
Even so, the destructive power was enormous, the street surface was blown to pieces as if hit by a missile, and the scene was covered in dust and pulverized asphalt.
"…Kh!"
They all made the same expression except Shirou, who only frowned at the information he was processing in his Reality Marble. Amidst the dust, a shadow in the dark, a large figure appeared. Berserker Ⅰ didn't take any damage, he had just moved from where he was, which was where a deep crater was left.
Of all Archer Ⅰ's weapons, the culprit was the spear, which hit where his target was after being delayed a bit and the sword that should have hit the same target a bit earlier was blocked by the blackened Gae Bolg.
How many had been able to see his speedy offense and defense? At least Irisviel and Waver couldn't understand what had happened.
Truly Berserker Ⅰ had dodged the spear and blocked the sword heading his way with the spear in his hands.
"…That bastard, is he really a Berserker Ⅰ?"
Rider Ⅰ quietly answered Lancer Ⅱ's tense mutter.
"For someone who has given up reason for madness, he's a handy guy."
"How dare you touch my treasure with your dirty hands... do you want to die, dog"
The air around Archer Ⅰ began to stir again, the air around him turning gold and beginning to swirl to show a bunch of new Noble Phantasms springing up inside his portals, he was sixteen. Each of these weapons contained an enormous amount of prana emanating from them. None of them were outside of being a divine mystery… all of them, without exception, were noble ghosts.
"That's not possible…" Waver thought aloud.
But the other Masters and Heroic Spirits probably thought the same. A Heroic Spirit need not stop a Noble Phantasm.
"Let's see, how long can you take that compulsive little thief!"
With an order from Archer Ⅰ, the bunch of Noble Phantasms, he swiftly flew through the air towards Berserker Ⅰ.
Despite this, Archer Ⅰ's fierce attack did not stop, the Noble Phantasms looked like lightning bolts, falling on the place where Berserker Ⅰ was standing, with enough force to blow everything to pieces, they kept hitting and dodging constantly over and over again. .
At the same time, behind Saber Ⅰ, Lancer Ⅱ appeared to land an attack, but prepared for everything, so I blocked the thrust with her sword. Shirou looking at the scene with a serious expression, thought to help. But behind him appeared Lancer Ⅰ with the yellow spear that could nullify his swords.
All the spectators were in shock, even in a critical situation with a large number of enemies around. They had no idea that a battle between 6 Servants would happen.
Many expected someone to fall on the battlefield, but unfortunately they saw it as practically impossible.
Shirou using his dual wielding style, directed the yellow spear at his white sword before blocking it and it disappearing from his hand, to summon another black sword and direct it at Lancer Ⅰ, but Lancer proceeded to block the black sword with the back of the blade. yellow spear.
"Tsk, I didn't think the spear dogs would attack us"
Ignoring Saber Ⅱ's sarcastic comments, he was beginning to wonder how this red-haired Servant was able to follow him and even pressure him.
"I see you have a good level, but I'm intrigued how you can keep rebuilding your swords after destroying them over and over again"
"Who knows, I don't think I have to give you an answer to your question"
"Mmm… I see that you don't take me seriously, unfortunately now I'm at a disadvantage without my two spears, I would have liked to fight on equal terms, plus I see that the wound caused by my spear is affecting yourmovements.
Shirou didn't deny it, it's true that having his tendon cut reduced his combat strength, but at least the skill and experience of countless battlefields are there to pressure the Servant in front of him.
Two steels colliding with each other.
The sparkling crashes increase in pace without pause. The battle of the two is like a void. It sucks in the air around them, and it seems that anything that comes near them would be cut to pieces.
Actually it only lasts an instant. But it seems to take an infinitely long time. Lancer Ⅰ tries not to let Saber Ⅱ get close to him, while Shirou advances using his sword as a shield.
This sword and spear crossing process continued, but Rider Ⅰ realized Spearman's situation judging from the cuts SaberⅡ was able to cause.
Lancer Ⅰ admits to his carelessness. I underestimate the enemy in front of him.
The distance widens. Probably to recover, Lancer Ⅰ puts a great distance between them. …His speed is extraordinary no less than his blue partner.
Taking advantage of Lancer Ⅰ's recoil, Shirou takes advantage by taking a momentum and throwing himself on top.
Lancer Ⅰ with no chance to dodge decides to block the attack aimed at him. Making his body sink.
"Shit."
It's all Lancer Ⅰ could say, since he's going to get hit. But there is no doubt about it. Lancer Ⅰ will die if the situation continues like this.
Unfortunately he could not continue his current fight, due to the interference of a more intense battle that stopped his own.
※※※※※※※※※※※※
The fight between Saber Ⅰ and Lancer Ⅱ both Servants clash their weapons, while the man deflected, the woman counterattacked.
Sparks fly twice.
A strong blow.
Lancer Ⅱ surprised by the girl's strong blow. He is put back.
"Kuh!"
After realizing that he is at a disadvantage, he backs away with beastly speed. While he keeps guard against Saber Ⅰ.
Determined to resume the fight, she proceeds to move quickly, Lancer Ⅱ, wields the spear borrowed from her partner and attacks silently, but pitifully, none hit the Servant.
Because for every hit she received from the spear, she deflected them simply and elegantly, making Lancer Ⅱ fall back .
"Curse"
Out of nowhere a rapier goes to her ribs, so she decides to hold her spear vertically to protect them.
"Guh!"
Lancer Ⅱ each of the blows landed by Saber Ⅰ was not a joke. Furthermore, they carried an outrageous amount of magical energy.
"Tks.., Damn Berserker Ⅰ I'm at a disadvantage without my spear"
Lancer Ⅱ could only complain as he dodged the fierce sword attacks of the woman in front of her. And it didn't help that the said weapon is invisible either.
Fortunately, Lancer Ⅱ manages to stay out of the way thanks to the fact that he knows the true range of the weapon that Saber Ⅰ wields.
Sparks fluttered across the battlefield, but anyone could tell that both Servants of the Spear were at a disadvantage.
Certainly his masters watched the scene very well to which Kayneth felt very angry, he couldn't believe that his servants are being pressured by mere servants of the sword.
On the other hand, Shopia had a very worried look with trail of a maiden in love and that look was directed at the Servant who was in combat with Saber Ⅱ.
Unfortunately, Kayneth was too angry to pay attention to that woman.
Out of nowhere Saber Ⅰ lands a blow that slices through the air and destroys the ground, kicking up debris, certainly such a blow was easily dodged by Lancer Ⅱ.
"Idiot, what are you doing...!?"
He could tell even from such a distance. I don't know about the careful blows from before, but such a big blow won't be able to touch it.
Determined to ignore the comments. She continues to swing the "weapon" of hers.
A storm of cuts without pause!
Lancer Ⅱ blocks them, clicking his tongue. Though he certainly admires the Sword Servant's skills even though he tries to kill him.
After what seemed like an exorbitant amount of time, both Servants seem disgruntled.
Despite throwing blow after blow with the intent to kill.
Saber Ⅰ mentally admits that this man is harder to deal with than Lancer Ⅰ
Moments after so many blows, he dodges and retreats, both distanced themselves this time.
"Get ready Lancer Ⅱ I'll finish this blow."
He just stares at her, and also decides to prepare to finish it off in one go, even though he doesn't have her weapon, that doesn't stop him from enjoying a real battle. And if he has to drop one so be it.
"Heh, I see you only speak Saber Ⅰ"
He mocked.
He then proceeded to take a different stance, which would certainly cause intimidation, but it didn't have the effect he wanted without his weapon. Likewise, Saber Ⅰ decided to be careful and end this battle in one fell swoop.
About to start killing each other with a final blow, they are stopped by a roar, not only they were all attracted by the loud roar and the number of Noble Phantams in the sky.
※※※※※※※※※※※※
Berserker Ⅰ who was fighting Archer Ⅰ dodged and sometimes had the audacity to pick up the noble phamtans. And return that to him without still releasing the Gael Bolg spear in his other hand.
Certainly Gilgamesh couldn't take this comical situation anymore, you could see great irritation on his face.
After who knows how many countless noble Phantams he dodged and counterattacked, Berserker managed to close in on Archer Ⅰ and swinging the spear in his hand attacked him. But this one just jumped into the sky.
At the moment that he was in the sky, they noticed how Berserker Ⅰ took a position very similar to the one Lancer Ⅱ took against Saber Ⅰ. And he jumped, getting surprised looks, this shot the spear towards Archer Ⅰ who was also in the air.
Unfortunately, since he was not the legitimate owner, this spear did not have the true effect of Gae Bolg, at most it was just a Noble Phantasm reinforced by his miasma. But it would still cause some damage.
Archer Ⅰ refusing to be hurt by that mere half-breed and that spear withdrew a shield from the portal in front of him.
The impact did not deal him any damage, but it did cause him to fall out of the sky and hit the ground.
"Damn fool... are you trying to put me on the ground just like you?, ¡Iam who should be on top!"
"Gr…."
Berserker Ⅰ gave a simple grunt. But for someone like Gilgamesh that was a complete mockery.
No, saying that he was unharmed was only one third of the general point of view. Archer Ⅰ's fury had apparently reached his limit.
"YOU DESERVE DEATH FOR THAT INSULT! MESTIZO! I'M NOT GOING TO LEAVE ANY PIECE OF YOUR BODY!"
Furiously, Archer Ⅰ yelled at Berserker Ⅰ, his crimson eyes burning. For the third time, the air around him swirled, summoning around 50 portals.
This action stopped the fighting in the surrounding area.
'Shit, how can he summon such an exorbitant amount, doesn't he have a mana limit?' That thought ran through Shirou's mind, after observing the huge number of portals and Noble Phamtans slowly emerging inside them.
Nobody paid attention to him and that was good, because he was getting ready to summon a lot of projections of him, he didn't care if he ended up exposing one of his secrets. But with Irisviel on the battlefield, he was willing to risk exposing himself.
※※※※※※※※※※※※
"Gilgamesh is serious, he opened more doors of Babylon"
Tokiomi clutched his head at Kirei's comment, which emanated from the intercom with magical jewels. The basement of the Tohsaka mansion was his refuge. Also, Kirei manipulating AssasinⅠ, was getting results, about the battle in the conditions were perfect.
Currently after the student's comment that he could only bite his teeth in frustration, anyone who saw him would notice that he has a slight tremor. And it's no less after the long battle between Archer Ⅰ and Berserker Ⅰ.
Consumption was an issue in a protracted battle where Gilgamesh could care less about his master's situation, he just dumped his treasures as mere toys without regard to tokiomi or his opinions. But this time by summoning an inordinate amount of portals and the Noble Phantams that would emerge from them, this time he took its toll.
"Master, what is his decision?"
He urged Kirei in a loud voice from the other end of the communication line. Striking his teeth, Tokiomi began to see his right hand.
※※※※※※※※※※※※
When all the Servants were ready to dodge, from the crossfire that would soon occur they noticed how he stopped and looked in a certain direction.
"Do you think that a sermon from someone like you can appease the anger of a king? You are quite presumptuous, Tokiomi…"
With an abject tone of annoyance, Archer Ⅰ said this with a restrained voice. The brilliance of the countless Noble Phantasms surrounding him disappeared in an instant.
"…You narrowly avoided death, mad dog"
He held back his resentment, but his crimson eyes had lost the flame of killing intent. And replacing them with a look of superiority, Golden Archer Ⅰ looked at the rest of the Servants.
"You half-bloods, stop gathering, I will only tolerate true heroes"
With this unimportant comment, Archer Ⅰ canceled his materialization, the golden armor losing its materiality and disappearing, leaving only traces of its brilliance.
※※※※※※※※※※※※
In a dark alley in Fuyuki City. A man looked like he was dying.
"Hah...Hah..."
Through bloody eye, he was able to confirm that ArcherⅠ had withdrawn from the battlefield. With his mental state on edge, he imagined how that golden Servant could only run away.
Unfortunately he is a rookie and the cause of this small victory is due to his sworn enemy Tokiomi. But even so, thousands of scenes passed through his mind.
"Hehehehe…HAHAHAHAHA"
"I did it, that arrogant wizard, after looking down on common people like me, I finally made him bite the dust, I'm not a loser, no one will call me a failure or a bug anymore, I can fight anyone and show them that it's fear."
Kariya was struggling to get up off the ground, but she had an ecstatic look on her face imagining how she would win the grail from her.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
Struggling, she couldn't help but laugh.
'That's enough for tonight, if Archer Ⅰ is gone there's no need to continue the battle with this pain, I'll just wait for the other Servants to kill each other' His thoughts stopped, as out of nowhere he fell back to 4 legs, but this time I expelled a quantity of blood from his body along with the insects installed in his body.
'Berserker Ⅰ what the hell are you doing, come back obey me'
It was the last thing he could communicate through his spirit link, but it was useless, his Servant simply ignored his orders, she could feel how the insect inside his body was activated once more, eating away at him from the inside.
It was total agony for Kariya.
※※※※※※※※※※※※
The battlefield returned to the state of tranquility from the beginning once more, but its surroundings were completely destroyed.
"Um, apparently this guy's Master has a worse character than Archer Ⅰ"
Surprised, Rider Ⅰ smiled bitterly, but everyone else realized that this was not the time to make such comments. Berserker Ⅰ who was fighting Archer Ⅰ was still in front of them.
Berserker Ⅰ watches the Servants, but out of nowhere his gaze landed on Saber Ⅰ.
Saber Ⅰ when she was observed, she felt a chill running down her spine.
"…Ur…"
A voice seemed to come from the shadow surrounding Berserker Ⅰ. Like a mutter, a curse, it was a malice-filled moan that hardly resembled a human voice.
This was the voice of Berserker Ⅰ, it was the first time they had heard it.
"…Ar…Ur…h!"
Like a curse in human form, full of murderous intent, the black knight rushed to attack her.
Naturally, Saber Ⅰ was not prepared. So she put her sword in a defensive position.
As he approached he picked up a light pole from the ground, only to be consumed by a shadow and transformed into a Noble Phantams.
BerserkerⅠ sheathed the iron pole, more than two meters long, with both hands as if it were a spear, putting tremendous pressure on Saber's sword.
"W…what?"
After crashing her sword against that Berserker Ⅰ pole, Saber Ⅰ couldn't believe her eyes.
"It can not be possible...!?"
Saber Ⅰ was surprised.
Shirou and Rider Ⅰ, who were nearby, had come to the same conclusion.
"...So that's it. It explains why Lancer Ⅱ couldn't get the spear back from him, it's because when Blacky touches something, it becomes the Noble Phantasm of him."
The fight between Saber Ⅰ and Berserker Ⅰ was starting to get fierce, they both attacked and defended. Not supporting this situation anymore, Shirou decided to intervene, they had to finish off BerserkerⅠ since he represented a danger.
He was willing to apologize to Arturia another time. But before he could join the battle Cu Culahin attacked him.
"Me! Unfortunately I can't let you help her, orders from my master. Also, let's fix what we had pending, as you can see I got my real spear back"
"Tsk...,"
Shirou could only click his tongue as he summoned the twin blades from him.
Blow after blow, Lancer Ⅱ pressured Shirou with the forceful thrusts of the 'spear', meanwhile all Shirou could do was defend against him. His left hand was starting to lose strength, the injury caused by Lancer Ⅰ's Gae Buidhe was taking its toll on him. With only his right hand wielding the sword he could barely fight, but with Lancer Ⅱ's furious and fast attacks he could only defend himself.
Saber Ⅰ noticed in her field of vision Shirou's battle as he had difficulties due to the injury caused by her fault, unfortunately she could not find a way to help him, so she decided to finish this quickly and gradually began to gain advantage with Berserker Ⅰ.
"Shirou!"
Irisviel shouted impatiently. She was able to notice the beads of sweat falling from her Servant's forehead.
When everyone was concentrating on the battle they not noticed how Lancer Ⅰ had approached Irisviel from behind.
This caught everyone off guard.
Acting quickly Shirou decided to ignore his fight, so he was careless and was impaled by Gae Bolg in the shoulder, instead of wincing he just frowned and decided to ignore Lancer Ⅱ.
Certainly Cu Culahin was also surprised by the sudden action of his companion, but he was able to realize that he was reluctant to comply with that order, so this had to be done by Kayneth. Determined not to participate in that dirty game he let Shirou pass him to save the master from him. That was all she could do for him.
Saber Ⅰ also noticed Lancer Ⅰ's attack and decided to help Irisviel, but was countered with a big blow to the abdomen from BerserkerⅠ that sent her flying in the direction of the containers.
The blow certainly made him gasp for a few moments, when he tried to get out of the containers, and rush to Irisviel's aid, Berserker Ⅰ pitifully didn't give him a chance and attacked with ferocity.
Lancer Ⅰ was pitifully trying to resist were orders given by his master with a command seal.
He tried to refuse with all his might, even the veins bulged out on his forehead, but it was a futile effort trying to resist the effect of a command seal.
'Someone please stop me, I don't want to win this way, that's not how I want to win' his eyes were beginning to tinge with blood from so much resistance to the command seal.
Kiritsugu, with the remote surveillance of him, could also see Irisviel in trouble. But with the equipment she had she couldn't save her from her Servant.
Irisviel noticing the situation, just smiled a sad smile. And she was looking in the direction of kiritsugu.
'Therefore, the rest is up to you, dear.' Her gaze conveyed that to him.
"DEMONS!"
When the situation seemed already defined by fate.
In the next moment, a deafening sound engulfed everything.
Many noticed how Rider Ⅰ's carriage almost ran over Lancer Ⅰ, but Lancer was lucky enough to dodge at the last moment.
Ignoring that Lancer Ⅰ, had dodged the carriage he went straight ahead and was able to find his next target Berserker Ⅰ.
Without stopping it ran over him.
After Rider Ⅰ's car had passed, Berserker didn't even have the strength to get up. The Black Knight figure was face down on the ground.
Rider Ⅰ sat on the cart and looked at his utterly defeated enemy. His face radiated a joyous smile.
"Oh? What happened to you, did your spine break?"
Berserker Ⅰ was badly hurt, receiving an unprepared Noble Phantasm caused him a lot of damage, so he just withdrew, vanishing into a fine mist.
Saber Ⅰ quickly recovered and approached Irisviel. Shirou also took the same action, but he was injured. Even so he never showed a trace of pain on his face just an unprecedented seriousness.
"Irisviel, are you alright?" both Servants asked.
"If I'm fine, thank you for coming to protect me and I'm sorry"
Standing on top of his car, Rider Ⅰ looked as if nothing had happened. He spoke as he looked up at the sky and moved his stout neck.
"Master of Lancer Ⅰ. Although I don't know where he is hiding from us, I must tell you that he has disgraced a match between knights in a despicable way… which is not befitting of a good opponent." At that moment, the proud Servant smiled wildly, challengingly. his invisible opponent. "Back off. If you insist on following this, furthermore, I will be forced to join Saber Ⅰ so that the two of us can finish off your Servants, what do you think?"
"..."
The magician who was hiding on the battlefield was irritated. But I don't hesitate to answer.
"…Retreat. It's enough for one night"
After Lancer Ⅰ and Lancer Ⅱ heard the order, they heaved a sigh of relief and lowered their spears.
"Thank you very much, King of Conquerors" Lancer Ⅰ proceeded to disappear.
After hearing the Hero's thanks, Rider smirked.
"That was nothing. The beauty of a good battlefield is the best sign of respect."
"You know, for my part, I wouldn't have disliked the idea of facing the 3 of them at all" Lancer Ⅱ replied with a ferocious smile at the same time that he dematerialized.
After all that destructive battle in the port, all was quiet.
