Tribute to the Demon King

A beam storm hotter than steam would be enough to burn an eyeball.If it pours into the trachea and esophagus, it can even burn the internal organs thoroughly.

If it can actually hit, just one shot of the gem is enough to put an ordinary person to death—of course, the premise is that it hits.

The moment the hot wind burst out from the topaz and was about to rush to Kenneth, his position was suddenly wrapped by a layer of silver semicircle.The quicksilver that was originally entrenched under Kenneth's feet instantly stood up and turned into a spherical shape, and the outer layer condensed layers of scales like shells.

The thick mercury scales wrapped around Kenneth are enough to easily stop this level of hot wind.

But at this moment, the plate-shaped ruby ​​that was one step behind also flashed a dangerous light——

Accompanied by the sound of the explosion, the blooming flower of fire swallowed Kenneth in an instant!

------

Fierce battle.

The holy sword entwined with dim yellow light, and the holy gun burning with pure fire violently clashed, scorching sparks flying everywhere.

Even if it just landed on the ground, the remaining heat would be enough to burn the surrounding plants until they were scorched and smoked.

As a dragon slayer, Saber's swordsmanship has already reached the inhuman realm.

Probably wanting to save mana, after the initial wrestling ended and the two of them entered the stage of quick attack and mutual attack, Lancer took back the burning flames on the spear, leaving only a thin layer covering the spear. above.

But even without the flames... Lancer's guns were completely impenetrable.

Not almost, but completely—

The speed of firing the gun is not very fast, but it takes almost no time to close the gun.

One is heavier than one, one is faster than one—

The bright flame attached to the sharp gun burst forward and exploded due to inertia every time the gun was retracted.Under Karna's spear technique, the afterimages of the flames were already connected in the air, breaking apart like fireworks in the air like a peacock spreading its tail.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is impeccable spear technique like a stone wall, which cannot be splashed by running water.

Watching this scene, Saber's eyes couldn't help but light up.

He had never seen such a miraculous martial art before.After bathing in dragon blood, he was invulnerable, no matter what kind of enemy he was, it was meaningless in front of him.At the same time, his own swordsmanship has also entered the realm of inhumanity.Lancer who can crush himself in terms of skill, his spear skills may have touched the realm of gods.

But——Saber was sure that there were loopholes in Lancer's gun power.

After all, the length of Lancer's sharp gun is really too much, the tip of the gun alone is more than one meter.Every time after a powerful thrust, the project of retracting the spear and accumulating momentum will bring some time loss.

For ordinary warriors, this is just a gap for breathing.But for Saber, this slight flaw is already enough to launch a counterattack.

First of all, the distance must be shortened... the distance advantage of the long spear must be eliminated in one go!

Making up her mind, Saber habitually raised her left arm, trying to block Lancer's thrust with her forearm assisted sword.

But then, beyond Saber's expectation—Lancer's gunshot left a long scar on his left arm, almost cutting off the muscles on the arm.

The next moment, the shadow of Lancer's gun flashed.Like a thunderbolt, the strong blow slashed upwards obliquely, and then slammed downwards suddenly.

With just one blow, it hit the eyes, shoulders and throat at the same time.

The long spear wrapped in blazing flames left quite a few scars on Saber's body.

——This fact stunned Saber.

Siegfried, who was summoned as a Servant, possesses the foul-level ability "Dragon Blood Armor", which can completely nullify attacks below B-level.In other words, for an ordinary Servant, it is impossible to harm him in the slightest without releasing the Noble Phantasm.

However, Saber was injured just by launching a normal attack.

This means that Lancer's spear has at least the same physical attack power as A-level.But just like that, it's impossible for him to injure Saber to this extent.First of all, it is the destructive power that requires amazing muscle strength and excellent skills.

However, it wasn't just Saber who was astonished by this.

"...the wound is so shallow."

Lancer sighed.Although he still remembered the scene where Saber confronted Rider's chariot the day before yesterday, Lancer also had sufficient confidence in his own attack power.

The slash that originally planned to split Saber's head in two, he thought he would goug out Saber's eyeballs and smash his arm to pieces.

As a result, the spear actually cut a hole in the opponent's face, and what he got in return was only a scratch of the skin...

...What level of oni defense is this?

But the moment Lancer made a mistake, Saber had already seized the opportunity.

Slightly lowering his upper body, he held the holy sword flowing with faint yellow magic power in both hands, and jumped up to Lancer as quickly and silently as if gliding.

——Then, he raised the holy sword high, and slashed heavily at Lancer's jade-like neck!

However, with a distant crisp sound, Saber's holy sword was bounced back under his unbelievable gaze.The force of the shock even made his hands numb slightly.

...Wait, what's going on?Did I hit it just now?

Saber felt a little uncertain.

He clearly saw that the moment his heavy blow hit Lancer's neck, Lancer did show a painful expression.

However, there was a slight injury on his neck... not even a scrape.It was as if he had chopped on some indestructible armor.

I see, Karna's golden armor?The armor that is said to be "indestructible even by the gods"... If nothing else, it should be that.

However, did his attack just now work?

Before deciding on this problem, Saber thinks that it is better to give priority to saving physical strength and mana.Otherwise, he felt that he and Lancer might be able to fight for a whole day.
