I opened my tired eyes to see myself in an unfamiliar room. The wall was made of plastered bare brick. As my eyes darted around the room I remembered where I was
"Lancer!" I yelled standing up on alert
"I see you're awake!" Lancer's voice calls me
I sighed in relief at the sound of Lancer's voice and looked in his direction. When my eyes hit her I realized she was in front of the door leaning against the wall looking at me with a smile
"Yes, I didn't think so myself" I lay down on the bed again with a sigh
"so what happened? You just fell to the ground vomiting blood!"
Laughter
I couldn't help but chuckle as I put my hand to my head. Shit, I didn't expect a single servant inside my soul to do so much damage to me, if this keeps up I'll end up dead in less time than I thought.
"I'm fine, I just couldn't stand Avenger entering my soul" I respond with a sigh
"And now?" Lancer opened her arms angrily "If you die, I won't get my wish"
"It's comforting to know you care so much for me."
"Have it" Lancer also chuckled putting his hand on his hip, but his face became serious in the next second "let's give up on the war? you know, living in this world for a while? I'd like to see how the world has changed since my death!"
Lancer didn't meet my eyes, but I could see a genuine look of concern on her face. She just whispered those words but it was enough to make me feel happy from the bottom of my soul
"No, we're going to win this war, even if we have to appeal" I spoke with a growl "It's time we started making our move"
I pulled a small blood-red ball out of my pocket and showed it to Lancer with my best smile. I threw the stone to her that it caught in the air easily
"What is that?" Lancer asked looking at the stone with curiosity "it seems to be magic"
"This is a philosopher's stone, actually just one of the prototypes," I said confidently puffing out my chest "In it, there are artificial souls which can become mana"
"Is this a mana carrier?" Lancer asked squeezing the stone and forming a big smile "Master, with this I can use my Noble Phantoms unlimitedly without demanding too much from you"
"Yes, with that I can help you" I replied with a smile getting up from the bed
"Help me?" She asked, "How?"
"Like this" I smiled straightening myself on the floor, my legs were still wobbly but still strong enough to keep me upright "It's time to put my theories of combat magic into practice"
I ran my mana through my magic circuits and closed my eyes. An image of a familiar gun popped into my mind.
Millions of numbers popped into my head starting to intertwine with each other and doing the maths, hundreds of beads inside my mind
"Trace On" Focusing on the gun that was carved in my mind, I whispered the words of the spell and felt the mana in my body drain away.
The next moment he was elsewhere. my inner world as I call it. whenever I'm in a state of extreme concentration I stop here
The place was a completely calm and transparent ocean with a calm city beneath it. In the sky were calm clear blue and a bright sun
Around me, numbers started to emerge from the ocean floor coming straight out of the city and flooding the surface doing thousands of maths I don't understand.
I suck at maths
The accounts started to close, starting to form more accounts until they finally joined and in the next second they disappeared at once.
The image of the revolver held by an albino woman, with white hair, red eyes and a beautiful smile coming close to me.
With each step she took closer to me, a calm settled in my chest, behind her a huge pure white mist that seemed to have solid physical form followed her.
the woman arrived in front of me and her smile didn't fade. I tried to say something, but my mouth didn't move, my voice didn't come out and my body didn't react
The woman brought her hand to my face. it was warm and gave me a feeling of protection that I had never felt in my life. it was something new, something alien to me
"You've made your choice! But, you're not ready, to master the darkness of Alter power."
The woman's melody voice reached my ear and in the next moment it was gone and the beads formed again in my head as if nothing had changed.
At the last moment the accounts came to a result they broke and my throat started to ache. I found myself kneeling on the ground holding my throat and in the background, the blank landscape began to turn dark.
The city below me started to catch fire even from under the water until a big pair of red eyes formed in the background of the landscape looking down at me.
In the next moment, shadows began to rise from beneath the ocean to the surface and attack me. When these shadows came close to me my fear got the better of me
"No, go away get out of here"
I started screaming and running across the surface of the ocean, what the hell was going on I don't want to die. This was a dream, absolutely a dream
Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain
A cry of pain tore from my throat at the enormous pain in my chest. In a panic, I looked down and saw one of the shadows crossing my chest.
the blood was flowing. I tried to grab the shadows to get her off me as quickly as possible. I needed to get away as fast as possible, otherwise, I'll die
"Don't run away, This is the path you chose my descendant"
A voice spoke in my ear and my body calmed down! How stupid I was, that's right! This is the path I chose by convincing Angra Mainyu to kill herself to prevent others from getting away with the Grail if I can't win the war
My legs stopped flailing and my body stilled. At that moment all the shadows attacked me at once. the pain was maddening. tears fell from my eyes and my soul cried in pain.
But it didn't last long and everything went out
"Come back when you're ready to dominate me"
"Master" Lancer yelled running to Alecs
She picked him up princess-style and quickly put him to bed.
Lancer quickly grabbed a wash cloth wet with hot water that she had been using to tend to Alecs on his first faint and placed it on his forehead.
Alecs are burning with fever. His body was in a cold sweat and shivering. Lancer put his hand on his chest and was surprised when he realized the cause of the problem.
Mana, too much mana was passing through Alecs' Magic Circuits, too much mana for his weak Magic Circuits to be able to assimilate.
he was having a magical overdose. Lancer understood right away what he needed to do. she had to get the mana out of Alecs' body quickly or else he would die. But, she was a warrior and her magical abilities rusted when she came out as a monster.
She thought about sucking his blood and taking magic for the vampiric being she was, but then she realized she had a lot of magic in Alecs' body, more magic than blood.
She would be able to kill him from Anaemia before she managed to draw enough magic power to stabilize him.
Yes. She knew how to use magic, her power, in general, was physical and curses that were cast against her became part of her power and what little divinity she had in her body.
"There's no way" Lancer only knew one way to absorb mana from Alecs and that was extremely difficult for her due to her traumas "Master, you're going to make me have nightmares at night, you idiot"
Lancer began stripping Alecs' clothes. the only way she knew was a sexual ritual, damn the Greek gods that besides screwing with her life, they still only taught her unnecessary things!
Lancer prepared to take off Alecs' pants when a hand caught her hand.
"Lancer what are you doing?"
"That's… I can explain"
I sat on the bed looking at Lancer with a little embarrassment for the scene that just happened
"I see, so my body is overloaded with mana? Makes sense! Sorry for causing you trouble Lancer" I apologized lowering my head
"Don't apologize, you didn't mean to" Lancer replied calmly and then looked at me seriously. "Why did you do that, I mean, use magic if you knew you didn't have the physical condition to do a spell?"
I chuckled at Lancer's words and closed my eyes and concentrated my mana on my hand. I felt Old forming in my magic circuits and becoming mana
"Trace On" I whispered
"Master what you?" lancer yelled
She appraised herself by paying my shoulder and looking at me with concern. I could understand she got scared that I tried doing this same spell a few hours ago and my body almost died from mana overload.
"Don't worry Lancer" I comforted her "Look, this time it worked"
I raised my hand to show Lancer a black mist forming around my hand. For a minute I was surprised that the fog on my hand was black, but I ignored it.
The fog took the form of an all-red .45 calibre revolver, the gun was customized to have a more powerful shot than normal revolvers of its calibre. it was a relatively old revolver that I had a vague memory of from my childhood.
That was my Grandmother's weapon of choice… She was the first female police officer in my town and she loved collecting guns, a passion that passed from her father to her. she tried to show my mom the beauties of guns, but my mom was a radical disarmament.
"Master is it?" Lancer took me out of my thoughts
I looked at her sighing and flashed a smug smile. Rotating the revolver on my finger. I prepared to brag about my creation when the revolver slipped and accidentally pulled the trigger
bang
The sound of the gunshot echoed through the room, and all I saw was Lancer with his head tilted back and the lamp that lit the room partly broken.
He didn't take the part that has the light only on the glass, so the light didn't go out
Lancer lowered his head, stroking his forehead, which had a small scratch on it that soon healed. In his eyes was a cruel glint of anger.
She smiled licking her lips and leaned in front of me, bringing her knee up to the nurse and coming face to face with me.
"Master, did you try to kill me?" Lancer asked narrowing his eyes dangerously, "I thought we were fine with each other Tch, it's a shame it looks like I'm going to have to find another master! I liked you."
"No, No" I shook my head and hands "Just accidentally shot! It was an accident"
Seeing the revolver swing from side to side in my hand and the fear of firing another shot, I put the revolver on the bed and tried to explain myself once more.
Laughter
"of course you didn't" Lancer chuckled taking the revolver and sighed "This thing can't harm a servant"
She pointed the revolver at me making my eyes widen
"lancer what you… Lancer stop it no fun!" I yelled angrily, but I saw in Lancer's eyes that she wasn't kidding.
She had a cruel smile filled with resentment and her finger tightened on the trigger. No, it's not possible. she has a seal of command that keeps her from hurting me. She is kidding!
Damn! she wasn't kidding
bang bang bang
The sound of three gunshots resounded in the room and I cringed in fear, closing my eyes and curling myself into a ball waiting for death.
The pain did not come. the pain did not come?
I opened my eyes in confusion and saw Lancer grinning at me with a wry smile and with a sigh I looked back only to see three fist-sized holes in the wall.
Each at a favourable distance from the other, none of them were close enough to me. This means she was kidding
"Hoo, it's gone" Lancer hummed shaking his now empty hand and looked at me with a smile wagging his finger "don't do that again master"
"I nearly died from my heart! What the hell do you think you're doing?" I screamed in rage letting my emotions take over me and. I raised my hand with everything stopping in the middle of the act to hold my hand and squirm letting out a sob of suffering "Do you think that was funny MEDUSA? It wasn't! If you did! do that again I'll use a command seal to punish you"
Angry tears streamed down my face and I raised my wrist angrily making the command seals on my hand glow. My heart was pounding a million and my vision was almost completely blurred with anger.
"Sorry" Lancer apologized. I could see real regret in her voice.
All right, let's not get carried away any more than we already are.
breathe 1 2 3
"Alright, just don't do it anymore" I sighed calming myself
"Alright" Lancer replied "I won't do that anymore"
"Good!" I replied putting my hand on her shoulder and standing up "Let's win this war"
"Yes"
Alecs and Lancer walked down the city street calmly. they didn't show anything unusual between them. Apart from the fact that the two are from two different western ethnicities in a city absurdly dominated by an eastern ethnicity
People constantly looked at them around every corner they passed. Fuyuki city was not the most developed. Of course, there were buildings and some other more developed buildings.
But other than that it still looked like an Edo-era town. Alecs glanced at the town's shops and received mixed looks from the vendors.
some were flashy and curious looks at the strangeness of their bodies. others were suspicious to see if they were friends or enemies.
Alecs didn't look like an Anglo-Saxon and gave a slight sense of relief to people. Since the countries, they were at war with were dominated by this ethnicity
Alecs realized that most of the people watching them were spies. He then looked at Lancer who was also looking around with suspicion and discomfort.
She was getting a lot of lewd looks from all over and others were jealous looks. she realized that most people didn't want her there and the other part wanted her body in a bed
Alecs noticing Lancer's discomfort took her hand crossing his fingers with hers he had already completely forgotten about what happened earlier.
Holding anger at Lancer wasn't something Alecs could do as she was in the same shitty situation as him. hers could be considered a little worse since Alecs has not had her body touched by the Einzbern…
*disgusted*
He felt a shiver on the back of his neck just thinking about it and sighed.
Lancer was startled to feel the touch of his hand. But when she looked at Alec's hand in hers, Lancer relaxed, releasing the tension in his shoulders.
She made a slight smile squeezing Alec's hand also feeling very comfortable with a slight warmth in her chest a warmth she hadn't felt in a long time.
The heat she only felt when she was with her sisters was the same as her…
To kill
Lance couldn't finish his thought when he felt a strong shiver on the back of his neck. Her body shuddered and she felt the blood leak from her neck making her kneel on the floor
Cough
She started vomiting blood and her vision started to get blurry. No, that couldn't be happening. was she attacked?
This is bad. she needed to warn the master so that he would provide her mana to save her. She turned her head to the side and her breath caught when she saw Alec's head drop to the ground.
His body fell to the other side, spurting blood. Her blood ran cold, a sob caught in her slashed throat and fear and despair gripped her soul. She tried to crawl towards Alecs to save him to catch him
Stab
Lancer cried out in pain as he felt something burn in her chest. She felt her hair being pulled up and her body responded by standing up despite her legs refusing to move.
She had no strength in her legs, arms or any other part of her body. Everything she could make her move her body slightly
Move. Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha
In desperation, her body and her limbs moved and she managed to catch her attacker's arm. her leg swivelled to get out of the dominant position she was in and her body spun trying to twist her assailant's arm.
Stab
She felt something go through her chest again
Cough
This time. her body lost all strength and the hand that held her hair released her making Lancer fall to the ground. All she could do during her fall was look into her attacker's face.
He was a stout man with a masked skull that looked at her from inside the mask. with a tired look the wise one like an old monk who lived a long time and acquired all the wisdom in the world
Lancer's back hit the ground and once again she was stabbed by a large sword pinning her to the ground. It was at that moment that her vision went out.
All she could do before she died was look at her master's fallen body on the ground and try to reach for his decapitated head.
She managed to touch his hair and tears will fall from her eyes.
Sorry master, I couldn't protect you, as I couldn't protect my sisters. I am a failure!
"Lancer?" Alec's voice caught Lancer's attention causing her eyes to widen
Sigh
She took a deep, twisting breath and felt Alecs' comforting hands touching her shoulder preventing her from falling to the ground.
"Lancer? what happened?" Alecs asked worried seeing her servant trembling and her pale body
"Master? Are you alive?" lancer whispered weakly full of disbelief
"Of course I am! What are you talking about?"
"You idiot! Thanks to the gods" Lancer cried hugging Alecs "You're alive, you're alive"
"Yes, I'm alive" Alecs replied not understanding the situation he hugged her back and patted her head"I'm alive, it's OK, don't worry"
"Humm!"
Once you manage to calm down Lancer minimally. I took her to a nearby square so as not to draw too much attention from the local population. more than what we've already called with the Lancer Panic attack
When I arrived at the square I helped her to sit on a public bench and I sat down next to her starting to question her about what happened
"A servant in a skeleton mask?" I asked and Lancer nodded.
"He killed me faster than I could react" Lancer responds dejectedly
"but, you are a servant with skills geared towards speed!" I spoke. Lancer's speed skills were A rank.
She had the same parameters as Medusa Rider only with Phantom different nobles like the chains, Harpe and her snake hair
Her being overpowered by another minion in brute force and you don't have time to react means that the parameters of that other minion are something at the same level as Lancer or higher.
There are few minions with these abilities not many and one is on my mind and that's not good. Not good.
Hassan-i-Sabbah! one of the most fucking OP minions out there
"Fuck, fuck, fuck, Motherfucker, D-rank damn luck" I screamed pulling my hair desperately in despair
"Teacher?" Lancer hesitated when he called me, raising his hands to me "are you alright?"
I sighed calming myself scratching my head "Yeah, I just found out that winning this war will be a lot harder than it looks"
"Yeah… we're both screwed" Lancer chuckled leaning his head on my shoulder "We're the two most unlucky idiots in the world"
"Yes" I couldn't help but laugh"We are"
in a short time, we started to laugh, there was no obvious reason to laugh. I don't know if it was to mock our disgrace. Lancer's head on my shoulder brought calm to my soul
The rest of the day was quite calm, we were not attacked by any servants. Some spies both Japanese and Westerners followed us for some time, but that was all.
It was fun to see the Western spies on us and trying to hide from the Japanese spies and the Japanese spies trying their best to pretend they didn't see the Western spies. it was a fun hide-and-seek game where the hider struggles and the seeker doesn't feel like playing
we passed many Japanese food stalls in Japan which were great. Lancer was having the most fun on the trip.
She looked like a kid on holiday never taking that excited smile off her face. different from the hungry predator smile she had in normal times.
That smile is natural and sweet. He doesn't even look like the same person I met a few months ago. We had some inconveniences like some Nazi soldiers posted in the region asking why an Arian had a filthy Mudblood
Seriously, that was the question and I'm not even in the world of Harry Potter. the Nazis even offered to help me get rid of the Mudblood
But from the looks they gave Lancer, it was obvious they wanted more than to get rid of her. tch, shit racists, if they hate other peoples they shouldn't be sexually attracted to them.
That encounter nearly ruined our day with Lancer by preventing me from summoning my revolver and slaughtering those Nazi soldiers who probably had much more combat experience than I did.
She apologized to them, speaking in plain German. The Nazis changed her stance when they heard her Berlin accent and she convinced them via Hypnosis that she was an Aryan
After that damn meeting, we continued to walk around the city. too bad the mood wasn't the same and then night fell
The shadows started to come out to play and we found ourselves in front of a huge dark-skinned man a few meters from us.
He was a giant with a naked torso, but his lower body was covered in a golden garment. He had two torches in his hands, also made of gold.
something screamed inside me that this man was a danger
"Master behind me!" Lancer quickly stepped in front of me summoning Harpe "He's dangerous"
I nodded and used the parameters meter given by the holy grail to see the parameters of the enemy servant and my stomach lurched when I saw its parameters.
Strength: A
Durability: A+
Agility: B
Mana: And
Luck: D
Damn, he was so much stronger than Lancer. she might have a chance to defeat him in the skill if he is a normal berserker with a lot of physical power and little intelligence and skill to use it.
who am I trying to fool? Hercules was a brainless mace of muscle, but his skills surpassed all other warriors.
We're screwed, I don't have enough mana to keep Lancer in the fight. It's all or nothing. I swallowed hard and pulled out a small bottle filled with red liquid.
"Lancer catches!" I wrapped my arms around Lancer's neck hugging her from behind
"Master what are you…"
"He is very strong isn't he?" Lancer formed a slight smile as he felt his master's strong embrace.
In the grip, she could feel her master's hand trembling. she realized right away that this could be their last moment together.
"What are our chances?" Lancer asked without taking his eyes off the giant who just stood there watching the two
"Very few… With my ability to provide you with mana…" Alecs trailed off excitedly "We're going to die!"
"Damn… what's the plan?" Lancer whispered, still looking at the man who was still standing, "he's not moving! Is he dead? Are we going to run?"
"No! He's just waiting, is he an honourable knight?" Alecs asked whispering "I have some plan but you have to do it!"
"What plan?" Lancer asks
"The Philosopher's Stone" Alecs swings the stone in front of Lancer's face and sighed, "If you drink it you'll gain a great deal of mana, but…"
"But…?"
"You run the risk of suffering side effects and going crazy" Alecs said excitedly "I don't think it will change your nature since you are a vampire being. but it can leave you completely in Berserker mode wanting to kill everything you see ahead or get excited?"
"Is this an aphrodisiac?!" Lancer asked, disgusted by the liquid in the bottle in front of him "Tch, it looks like we don't have a choice, it's a gamble! Master stay away in case I go crazy and start killing everything in front of me"
Lancer took the vial of red liquid and opened it. she drank it all down in one gulp. Alecs slowly backed away from Lancer without taking his eye off Berserker
At that moment Lancer shuddered causing Alecs' eyes to widen.
(Please don't be an aphrodisiac effect, please!)
""▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅! A bestial scream came out of Lancer's mouth and she put herself in the attack position on the 4 limbs looking directly at Berserker
She opened her mouth showing a cruel and sadistic smile. her eyes flashed madly, but in the back of her eyes, she still showed awareness. she hadn't lost herself in madness. not completely
Berserker responded for the first time by smiling and raising his combat axes. He took a step forward, the ground shuddering above him and sighed before flashing Lancer a fierce smile.
"Come on…" The man yelled preparing for battle.
bang
Before the man took the first step Lancer disappeared from his place appearing in front of the man. she began an intensive of attacks by swinging Harpe fiercely in search of an opening to cut the Berserker
berserker on the other hand remained on the defensive with minimal moves dodging most of Lancer's blows. The blows he couldn't defend against, Berserker simply deflected them with his axes.
Lancer was getting more and more out of patience, Her blows didn't come in no matter how much she held Berserker back, he was simply accepting everything and not being affected by her blows.
Her smile became more and more distorted as a grimace of anger, now nothing else mattered. she was just throwing herself in front of her scythe cutting through the air with a lot of whistling through the wind.
little by little Berserker's skin began to get hit causing him to narrow his eyes. They were moving so fast they were teleporting through the park and craters were forming all over the place.
Seeing that it was starting to be pushed. Berserker no longer had any doubt that if he continued this way he would be injured. He saw that Lancer was at his peak, but it had done no more than scratch his skin.
In the end. He knew he would win this fight. but, he wouldn't leave without harm.
Lancer had nothing left to lose in his chains and haired snakes snaked through the park attacking Berserker. Sparks flew everywhere the currents touched.
But not a single current touched Berserker. despite its huge size. he was extremely fast, faster than it would be possible for someone his size
Of course, eventually, some blows started to get into Berserker who despite counterattacking, couldn't land any critical hit on Lancer because his chains protected her.
Lancer was starting to slow down. she felt the madness slowly slipping from her mind. Her moves getting harder to make. she was reaching her limit and went all or nothing.
"▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅" She roared in fury and entered Berserker's territory! He was quick to counterattack by throwing his axe at Lancer.
But, that was in Lancer's plans (I trust you master) Lancer closed his eyes ignoring the axe descending towards his neck and attacked Berserker with Harpe with all his strength forgetting the defence
bang
"▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅—!" Berserker yelled as it echoed through the park hitting Berserker's axe changing the axe direction by a few centimetres missing Lancer who spun Harpe and slashed at Berserker
"Berserker… come back" A voice caught everyone's attention and Berserker who had a huge cut on his chest jumped back away from Lancer.
He landed several feet away from Lancer and pointed a finger at her and Alecs.
"■■■■■-!" It roared and disappeared in a bang
Lancer dropped to his knees on the ground breathing heavily, blood pouring out all over his body. she didn't take serious hits from Berserker, but some minor blows came in hurting her enough to diminish her physical abilities.
"Lancer!" Alecs ran to her and grabbed her by the arms, lifting her "Are you okay?"
"Yes!…just a little tired" Lancer whispered with a quiet laugh and raised his hand to Alecs taking it to his neck. "'Carry me"
"You're loose you venomous snake" Alecs sneered and picked Lancer up in his lap princess style. "But you deserve to be treated well today! But what did he say?"
"I don't know, I don't understand the language of the barbarians, but it seems something similar to you are my sworn enemies, this battle will come back"
"You said you don't understand the barbarian language, but you seemed to speak it very well during the fight."
"Shut up Hahaha" Lancer nudged Alecs in the head who was carrying him "We survived"
"Yes, thanks to us" Alecs grumbled not wanting to talk about the gods in Lancer's presence
"Yes! We got it master" Lancer grabbed more of Alecs and stuck his head in his chest before passing out.
"Yes sleep well Lancer, we still have a lot to go through so rest assured"
The two disappeared overnight from Fuyuki City leaving only destruction in the city.
It had been a week since we were attacked by Berserker, Lancer recovered in two days and was muttering about revenge. I honestly believe the philosopher's stone did something to her already bad mood
"Didn't expect to get an invitation to go out from someone so beautiful" I sat on a bench in the square where I let Lancer rest for the last time.
Next to me was a blonde woman. She was Asian, but she had some European features.
The woman hummed softly not bothering to look at me and her vision was focused on the park where children were playing. Among the children was a young woman with white hair caring for a little boy with brown hair.
"Cut the act, I'm not interested in flirting" The woman spoke without looking at me "I have a proposal for you!"
"Ummm? a proposal? Is it marriage?" I joked winking at her, "Because if it is I'm sure I wouldn't hesitate to refuse-"
Suddenly a wave of shivers gathered in my spine making me cringe. it was like a bucket of extremely cold water had been thrown over my head on a cold day.
I looked everywhere and found nothing. Maybe it was her servant sending me a warning not to mess with her master. I looked at the servant a few feet away from me. yes, the white-haired girl, she is a servant! I don't know which class
She must be pretty good at disguise because she didn't show any trace of paying attention to me. She seemed focused on taking care of the child in the square.
Better be careful with her.
"No, my goal is to ally with you homunculus" She replied this time looking at me "As you can see, The servants of this war are very powerful, especially Assassin and Berserker"
"So you want an alliance between us, so we can survive the war," I asked already knowing the answer"Of course, even why I'm sure you won't betray me in the middle of the war and eliminate me"
"I'm glad you know my loyalty to my agreements" She smiled getting up and holding out her hand to me "Let's get along"
What? Why did she raise her hand to me? Did she not understand the irony?
"Is this serious?"
"Seriously, what?"
"Nothing" I replied with a sigh and stood up squeezing her hand "let's get along fine, I'm Alecsviel Von Einzbern"
I honestly gave up when I realized that nothing I wear of any kind
"Yuki Tohsaka" She smiled squeezing introducing herself
Her response makes my eyes light up. she was a Tohsaka, a Tohsaka without Tohsaka's attitude, that's wrong
"Master, why did you ally with that woman?" Lancer asked sullenly.
"I was taken by surprise," I said putting a hand to my head in lamentation "She is the exact opposite of Tohsaka Rin and doesn't understand Irony"
"Tohsaka Rin?" Lancer asked confused
"No one special" I replied with a sigh
We continued walking along the street until we reached the castle. When I noticed something. There was a presence following him, it wasn't the killer as he wouldn't show his presence
"Lancer did you notice? I asked suspiciously
"Yes master, I've already taken care of it" Lancer replied "I asked all the snakes in town to chase our Stalker"
"That's good, What would I be without you, Lancer?" I whimpered hugging Lancer from behind
"probably a master corpse" Lancer replied with an amused smile
Our relationship is getting closer. We became friends. I couldn't help it, as much as I know it wouldn't last and one of us or if we didn't both would die at the end or in the middle of the war.
The strength of friendship brought us together completely causing the barriers between us to format a level that we abandoned the awkwardness of physical touch for hugs
"Lancer tells me, did you keep an eye on her all along?"
"What do you mean?"
"You know? When I was talking to Tohsaka, I felt a strong murderous intention turned towards me! I think her servant threatened me, you should be keeping an eye on her."
"You mean when you were flirting with that bitch?" Lancer asked with a growl.
A growl? Why is she growling? I looked at her to question her and found a very cold and intense gaze in my direction.
"Miss Lancer? Are you by any chance mad at me? Did I do something wrong?"
"No, you didn't do anything wrong, surely flirting with that bitch was the most wonderful thing you've done in your life!"
Lancer turned his face with a snort and his pace quickened. What got into her, Is she pissed that I made a contract with another master without talking to her?
"Lancer? What happened? Talk to me!"
"I already said its nothing, master idiot"
"This doesn't seem like anything, let's talk"
"I am talking!"
"No, you aren't!"
Well, in addition to getting rid of the embarrassment of physical touch, we also started sheltering constantly.
Alecs looked at his servant sulkily with an expression of misunderstanding. he didn't know why she was angry. Even if he tried to ask her, Lancer wouldn't say anything. Alecs tried for hours to think about what was bothering Lancer, but nothing came to his mind. He finally gave up sighing and sat down next to Lancer
"Alright! What's bothering you?" Alecs asked taking Lancer's hand with a soft smile "I won't be able to comfort you if you don't tell me what's going on"
"It's nothing master" Lancer's voice was dejected and a weak sigh came out of his mouth "I just think it's a bad idea to team up with another master"
Alecs overcame by getting off the couch and kneeling in front of Lancer. He settled his knee on the floor calmly receiving an odd look from Lancer. but, he didn't mind. Lancer was his precious life mate and her opinion was of great value to him.
Staying for half a year in her company after 2 years of exile with only Jubstacheit's monthly visits was nowhere near a good thing. since the old man was an evil monster that made Alecs get hurt to test how far the Homunculus evolved in his study of magecraft
Lancer was the re-socialization point for Alecs, someone who could make him believe in life again without being pure revenge. Yes, he would still take revenge on the Einzberns no matter what! They wouldn't escape Alecs's hands when he had enough power to destroy them
"Master, what are you doing?"
Lancer's voice caught Alec's attention making him snap back to reality. He took a deep breath, opening his eyes calmly. There was no gain in losing himself in revenge fantasies not when he was close to destroying his real enemy
"Lancer, I'm sorry for deciding without contacting you!" Alecs shook Lancer's hands lowering his head.
"Master, no need to apologize"
"NO! I do! Lancer from now on I will take your opinion for every move I make in the war" He closed his eyes serious as he continued to shake Lancer's hands and lowered his head in front of her "please! Lancer fight to my side, not as a simple servant but as a friend"
"Master…"
Alecs opened his eyes in surprise when Lancer's hand released his grip and she stood up. he opened his eyes slightly to see what she was going to do and was surprised to see Lancer kneeling beside him.
They were almost the same size. Not! Lancer was a little smaller than him. Alecs could see the top of her head a few feet away from her eyes. it wasn't much. Only a few feelings, but it was still possible to see the blue/purple hair on top of her head
"Launch what are you doing?"
"Master… I Lancer swear loyalty to you, not as a simple master I am obligated to serve, but as a good friend," Lancer said taking Alec's hand and smiling gently. She lowered her head and approached Alecs placing her head on his chest "Please take good care of me from now on"
Alecs thought about retorting her words. he wanted their relationship to be one of friendship and not bondage. He wanted Lancer to call him Alecs and not master. unfortunately, he couldn't call her by her real name as enemies would find out about her true identity.
"Yes, My fate is in your hand's Lancer!" Alecs replied stroking Lancer's head "Let's win this war"
"YES MASTER" Lancer yelled in a cheerful voice throwing his fist up "LET'S SHOW EVERYONE THAT WE ARE THE BEST OF THIS WAR"
"YES" Alecs also yelled "THESE IDIOTS WILL LEARN TO RESPECT US"
"That's…" Alecs stopped short as a letter appeared in front of him. "Who's the letter from?"
"Master, what is this" Lancer asked curiously seeing a letter float towards them and taking the letter "Rider's Master Died, And Saber? Something is wrong with Rider, he hasn't disappeared…"
Alecs upon hearing Lancer's words was confused that it was not possible for a servant who had no independent action to remain in the world after his master had died.
This would only be possible if…
"HAHAHAHAHA" Alecs roared with laughter collapsing to his knees and tears falling from his eyes
"MASTER, ARE YOU OK?"
"Looks like we're going to have an alternate ending to Fuyuki's fight"
"Saber" Darnic Prestone Yggdmillennia yelled angrily when a blond-haired man held a strange spear in his hand.
It moved quickly, disappearing and reappearing in various places. His spear moved with great precision, cutting through the air while dodging the powerful blows of the enemy grass
He had the only problem that his weapon didn't match the class he was summoned to. Saber's physics was not good for a Lancer
He was totally at a disadvantage against his enemy.
All Saber could do was defend himself from the blows of his enemy who was constantly attacking him with strong Katana attacks.
Saber enemy had no mounts which helped the Saber keep the fight balanced. but at the same time, it was weird Rider was too good with a sword to be a Rider and not have amount.
A single blow from Rider made Saber's entire body shudder. he realized it right away. Rider also came with the wrong class. he should be a Sabre-class and not a Rider
Seeing that he was going to be killed if he was pushed any further. Sabre jumped back and decided to use his noble ghost to kill Rider at once. He didn't have time to play cat and mouse with Rider, especially when he was in the era class against an enemy with powers equivalent to him in the right class.
"LET'S END IT" Saber yelled pointing his spear at the Rider and a large water-shaped mana mace gathered at the tip of the spear "Mac a Luin: Invicta Violet Prunella"
"This is bad!" Rider quickly jumped back and cut his arm.
El let out a cry of pain, but it had to be done or he would die. His arm fell to the side and a black hole formed in front of Rider
At the same moment, a large beam of energy came out of the tip of Saber's spear and exploded all around him and hit the black hole directly. The energy that exited the spear was quickly devoured by the black hole causing Saber's jaw to drop.
"What-" Saber yelled in surprise, taking a step back in shock. It couldn't be happening his noble Phantom shouldn't be stopped so easily
Something was wrong, who was this servant. What he was. How was it possible for a normal minion to stop Saber's blow so easily. For the first time in a long while, Saber felt scared. he despaired.
Not! It couldn't go on like this. Even in the age class he was still powerful and feared Celtic knight, he would never let himself be defeated by an unknown servant.
"▂▂▃▃▅▅" Saber roared with all his might, driving the fear away and readying his spear to release his second Noble Phantom
But, it was too late, Rider was already in front of him swinging his sword cutting Saber in half. all Saber could do was instinctively swing his spear and rip Rider's other arm off.
bang
The sound of a gunshot was heard at the same time Saber dropped to the ground and Rider dropped to his knees beside him.
He no longer had the strength to continue fighting, his arm had been destroyed by an attack from Saber. indeed Saber was a very powerful warrior. The rider would have had a lot more difficulty fighting him if he had less mana.
His master was a mana-making plant. That's why he can use all his power without worry. has increased his power many times to compare to Saber who only could use his power to a certain extent so as not to overwhelm his master.
Even so, he would die. The rider had reached his limit and lost the fight morally. He only won because he managed to unbalance Saber's mentality and even so he managed to be hit by Saber
Hmm, how ironic… Rider chuckled feeling his command disappearing from his body and his connection to his master fading… wait, the connection to his master was fading! No, that couldn't happen. God forbid that to happen
Rider before falling to the ground and dying felt something different in him a slight voice spoke in his ear (Do you want to save your master?)
"Yes!" Rider replied without thinking twice as his vision darkened
(Then accept my proposal and become the ruler of this war)
"Yes!"
At that moment something happened to Rider that his body changed, his skin turned dark and his hair white in an instant. The most visible thing that changed about him was his wounds that quickly healed and his body became brand new.
"master!" Rider/Ruler got up and ran towards his master, but it was too late! The real master of Einzbern had just died, shot by Darnic who fled through the forest towards the church.
He lost his servant, but he didn't give up on the war, he and he would have the holy grail even if he had to steal it
