foreigner's journey

Chapter 442 LANCER
Boulder Hotel, banquet hall.

At this time, most of the floor of the banquet living room was cracked, showing huge crack marks from the ceiling to the wall to the ground, and even the scenery of the upper and lower floors could be seen through the cracks.

Countless black feathers fluttered and fell, and with the cry of a baby, it recondensed into a human form, and turned into a long-haired beauty in a black kimono again.

At this time, her face became more dignified, and she elegantly lifted the long-feathered black sword upside down, looking at the figure standing at the door of the banquet hall.

This is a tall and burly swordsman whose whole body is covered in full armor.His face and body were completely covered by dark blue ferocious armor, red rays of light were faintly revealed in the gaps of the helmet, and he was holding a two-handed sword that was also dark blue.The fierce slash just now was obviously the masterpiece of this swordsman.

"...SABER?"

The woman in the kimono tilted her head and spoke for the first time.Her voice is as gentle and gentle as her appearance and temperament. If you don't look at the long-feathered black sword in her hand, she is the perfect image of Yamato Nadeko.

The knight didn't answer, but clenched the two-handed sword and looked towards the window, and the woman in the kimono also looked there.

At some point, a third intruder appeared over there.

Compared with the woman in kimono and the knight with heavy sword, this one looks much more ostentatious.

Under the silver-white hair is a handsome face, with golden earrings on the earlobes, and a well-proportioned body in black tights is covered by exaggerated and gorgeous gold armor. Two gold disc shoulder armor are suspended on the shoulders, and the red cloak Dancing in the wind like a burning cloud, the most dazzling thing is the huge golden spear in his hand, which is both hideous and gorgeous.The fly in the ointment is that he maintains a gloomy appearance, coupled with the overly sharp eyes, it seems difficult to approach.

This person stood lightly and silently on the balcony railing by the window, and as soon as he appeared on the stage, he overwhelmed the two followers on the opposite side with his pure aura.

"Needless to say, you are the servants who compete with me."

The new spear servant slowly turned the huge golden spear in his hand. Unlike his appearance, his tone was humble and polite:
"There is no enmity between you and me, and I have no interest in the Cup of Heaven. But in order to respond to the Master's expectations, I will not hold back."

"Better so."

The knight holding the epee felt unprecedented pressure. He raised the two-handed sword to his body and performed a knight salute:

"Communicate with the weapon in your hand. RIDER, Lancelot."

The golden armored spear servant showed a slight smile, held the golden spear horizontally and bowed slightly:

"Ah, it's great to meet a worthy opponent in such a merciless war... Lancer, Karna."

The woman in the kimono lowered her long-feathered black sword without saying a word. Just as the momentum of Lancer and Rider was rising, she suddenly backed away.

Almost at the same time, Karna raised the golden spear in his hand and slammed it forward. The tip of the spear suddenly brought a raging sea of ​​flames, which rushed towards the other two heroic spirits in the room like a sea tide.

And Lancelot also held up the huge sword with both hands, the blade shone brightly and then slashed down heavily, bringing out a huge and violent chopping light!
The turbulent fire wave collided with the violent knife light.

In the dark night, violent flames exploded on the top floor of the Boulder Hotel.

The outer walls of the top four floors were directly blasted, and countless stones were splashed towards the sky. The billowing smoke and flames made this landmark building in the central square of Merisis City look like a burning statue in the dark night. torch.

Bang!
The flames were suddenly broken, and a huge black shadow pierced through the flames and rushed to the sky, followed by a figure.

The remaining fire on the surface of the leading black shadow was thrown off, and the real body was revealed by the moonlight.This is a huge bird with a wingspan of four meters. It looks like a crow. Its feathers are pure black and shiny. The elegant flying posture reminds people of the long-haired beauty in a kimono just now.

The giant black bird fluttered its wings and flew into the night sky, but it was hit by a knife light from bottom to top before flying too far.The giant bird exploded in an instant and turned into countless black feathers, which fell from under the moon and spread out in all directions.

At this time, the sea of ​​flames on the roof of the Boulder Hotel exploded again, and Karna, who was not injured on his body, jumped out of it, and with the help of the fierce propulsion of the flames, he flew into the sky at high speed!He turned the golden spear in his hand upside down, rushed into the area where the black feathers fell, and swung dozens of scarlet sharp cutting tracks in just one second at a super high speed that could not be discerned by the naked eye!

In an instant, the night sky was covered by dense and irregular red lines, and the black feathers were chopped into pieces one after another.

The figure of the woman in the kimono quickly sprang out from a certain feather, and fell towards the distant courtyard, trying to use the darkness there to hide her trace again.

But Lancelot had already blocked her falling path with a long sword in his hand.

"【Heaven Slash】!"

Lancelot once again raised the giant sword in his hand and swung it down. The dazzling light gathered into a violent slash and cut through the night sky. The trajectory of the slash included the woman in kimono and Karna who was chasing after her.

Karna was neither surprised nor angry, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.The surface of the golden armor on his body began to burst out flames composed entirely of magic power, and quickly gathered at the tip of the spear in his hand.As Karna handed out the long spear forward, a terrifying spiral pillar of fire sprayed out from the tip of the spear, drawing a scorching scorching trajectory under the dark night sky, covering the woman in kimono in front and Lancelot diagonally below. .

This is one of his inherent skills, [Magic Power Release · Flame]!
Karna can transform magic power into raging flames and cover the body and weapons, causing terrifying damage comparable to ordinary Heroic Noble Phantasms.But relatively, this is also amazing for the master's magic power extraction.

The moment Tian Zhan and the spiral fire pillar met, the place where the woman in kimono was originally was swallowed by two terrifying forces, leaving only a loud cry of a baby, which then dissipated in the deafening explosion.

The courtyard behind the Boulder Hotel was immediately destroyed by the powerful impact of these two forces!

The whole manor was engulfed in flames.

clatter!Karna lightly landed on top of a telegraph pole, he could no longer feel the breath of the ASSASSIN.On the other hand, Rider named Lancelot didn't seem to be seriously injured even though his aura dropped a bit, and he just left here quickly, presumably because he didn't intend to let other servants take advantage of him.

Karna turned his head sideways, as if he was listening to his master's instructions, and then his body disappeared into the air.

All that remained was the Boulder Hotel and courtyard burning with flames, and the sirens of fire trucks and police cars could be heard in the distance.

Fourteen kilometers away from here, at the top of the TV tower in the old town, Minar Tramberio put down the binoculars in his hand, and tapped the metal beam under his feet with his crutch: "SABER, what is the [fake] you are talking about?" One?"

"Heh... [Lancelot] can't be so weak, this counterfeit can't even release the real name of the Noble Phantasm."

There was a playful sneer in the air beside her:
"No matter who he is, at least it won't be [Lancelot]. I can fully confirm this."

Minar did not question Saber's words, but took full trust: "That is to say, this RIDER is weird, but he is indeed a heroic spirit, right?"

"That's right, normal humans can't achieve such 'bravery'. Even if it's a fake, it's a fake that imitated Lancelot's heroic spirit."

"Then, it can only be the camouflage effect of the Noble Phantasm. This is precious information that only we know, and it may have an unexpected effect at a critical moment. Well, let's leave him alone and talk about the other two."

Minar put down his crutch carefully and with difficulty and sat down slowly, pondered for a while and then said:
"The identity of Lancer is about to be revealed. The son of the sun god Surya in Indian mythology, [the hero of charity] Karna. The dazzling golden armor and extremely powerful spear skills all prove this point, there is no mistake But it’s not easy to find a Master who can truly display Karna’s strength, because his requirements for magic power are too high. Saber, this is a strong opponent who can rival you.”

Saber's voice let out several indifferent sneers.

"There is also that ASSASSIN. Although nine times out of ten she has completely exited under the attack of RIDER and LANCER, it is not that she is weak, but that the heroic spirit Karna is too powerful and RIDER is interfering."

Minar brushed up his long blond hair that was somewhat messy due to the rushing night wind:

"It is closely related to black feathers, it appears specially at night, and the cry of a baby... I already know her identity. She should be the monster in Japanese myths and legends [Guhuo Bird], also known as [Night Walking Girl], [Emperor of Heaven] Girl] or [ghost bird]. Put on the feathers and you will become a noble and elegant giant black feather bird, and take off the feathers and you will turn into a gentle and beautiful woman with long black hair and wearing a kimono."

"...Shouldn't the kuhuo bird exist in Chinese mythology? Why is it Japanese?" Saber obviously had some knowledge of mythology.

"Obviously, Japanese culture has penetrated into the world in recent years. Even the Japanese version is the main one when the Guhuo Bird is summoned as an ASSASSIN. Look at the vendors on Central Street today. The Japanese monster masks are actually more expensive than the European ones. There are even more clown masks in the carnival itself. Do you feel a sense of crisis, SABER? Maybe it won’t be long before the myths of you great heroes will be completely forgotten.”

Facing the ridicule of his master, SABER's voice became a little sad for the first time:

"Maybe it's also a good thing for me to be really forgotten."

Minar fell silent when he heard the words, sighed and then looked up at the bright moon above his head.

In the distance that they didn't find, Heather, who was leaning against the window of a certain cheap apartment room, put down her index finger and thumb that were curled into a circle, and said without looking back:

"How did it feel to play against them?"

In the room behind him, the figure of Lancelot suddenly appeared.It's just that at this time, the dark blue hideous armor on the surface of his body has a lot of scorching marks and scratches, obviously suffered some injuries from the previous flame impact.

"Assassin's strength in frontal combat is not strong, but his stealth skills are excellent. As for that Lancer... I feel that he didn't really play tricks when he fought me." Lancelot thought for a while, and then replied.

Heather turned her head to look at Lancelot, and smiled: "It's natural, because even among the many heroic spirits, he stands at the top of the seat. Noble Phantasm, this is the scariest part of Karna. I have already figured it out in my heart, thank you for your hard work, go back first."

Lancelot bowed slightly, and then dissipated in the air as streams of light.

Not only Karna, there was also a weird guy beside Minar.

Heather took one last look in the direction of the distant TV tower, then left the room humming with her hands in her pockets.

Let yourself muddy the waters of this Holy Grail War.
