I don't like the gods, I want to be a hero

And Lancer's words are tantamount to directly pointing out Seleus' ideas, and then forcing Seleus to fight with his "old friend" in a disguised form.Moreover, Lancer's tone of praise, which could be called praise, also made Serius unable to use this reason to disadvantage him even if he was unhappy in his heart.

If it is normal and done properly, Lancer's words can even directly solve two difficult enemies, and his chances of winning the Holy Grail War will also be greatly increased.

But what Lancer never imagined was that whether it was Serleus or Gilgamesh, both of them were special existences that could not be treated with common sense.

"In fact, I have already sent my old friend back to the Hall of Valor." Serius didn't care about Lancer's hidden thoughts, but told the information openly. "So there's no need for you to provoke me here."

"So you've already seen it." Lancer's face was not even the slightest bit embarrassed when the plot was exposed. Not only that, but this cheeky hero even put on a face because of Serius' attitude. A mean-spirited smile.

"But it seems that you are deliberately revealing this information to me, so..." Lancer put his hand on Serius' shoulder.

"Could you ask Berserker to explain how your 'friend' got a physical body?"

"Oh~~" There was a little surprise in Serius' tone, he didn't expect Lancer to guess that Gilgamesh had a physical body. "You see it?"

"It's very simple, isn't it?" Because he heard a lot of information from Serius, Lancer didn't intend to hide his conjecture, but said it very openly.

"When the Great Holy Grail stops offering magic, even if the original soul and life force of ordinary people are used to replenish the magic power of the Servant in the most direct way, the required amount will definitely not be too small."

"And how long can he use it once he replenishes his magic power? Seven days? Five days? Or three days?"

"No matter how long he can use the added magic power, under the premise of ten years, the number of ordinary people he kills will be an unacceptable number, and it is impossible for ordinary people not to accept his actions. Without a trace of awareness, let alone the so-called Magicians Association."

"But according to my Master's information, the Association of Magicians does not have any information about survivors of the last Holy Grail War, and there are only some rumors of people missing in this city named Fuyuki, and it is far from enough to make people fall into a trap." level of panic."

"That is to say..." Lancer blinked at Serius, and made a conclusion with some complacency.

"That guy actually doesn't need much magic power to maintain his own existence, and the only way for a Servant to reduce the magic power requirement to such a large extent is to obtain a physical body."

"That's right, my old friend can still exist in this world after the Holy Grail War is over because he obtained a physical body from the Holy Grail."

Thinking of the information Gilgamesh revealed and what he had seen and heard, Serius' expression suddenly became a little dignified.

"It turns out that the Holy Grail can really grant wishes." After getting the affirmation from Seleus, Lancer sighed.

"If it is the once pure and flawless Great Holy Grail, it will be able to fulfill the wishes of the winners." Seleus told Lancer the secret of the Holy Grail War in a somewhat flat tone.

"But now the Holy Grail has been polluted, and all wishes made will be distorted by infinite malice, and then become a nightmare for the wisher under that huge magic power."

"Is the Holy Grail broken?" Lancer's expression was a little dazed, and he began to murmur 'What a bad luck. ''Lucky E really can't meet good things? ' and such complaints.

"I obviously didn't believe in the wish-making function of the Holy Grail before, but I responded to the call from the Master, and now I feel frustrated because the Holy Grail is polluted..." Seleus looked at Lancer beside him in confusion. "What the hell is going on with you guy?"

"It's too extravagant to be able to fulfill all wishes, so I couldn't believe it before. As for answering the call, I plan to fight and hone my martial arts with all kinds of heroes from ancient times to modern times during the Holy Grail War."

Lancer's voice was a little listless, obviously the experience of gaining hope but losing hope in a short period of time dealt a great blow to this great hero.

"I once made an appointment with someone to become stronger and end her eternal life, but in the end I lost my life in the middle, so my strength could no longer rise..."

"That's why when I heard that a Servant obtained a physical body and successfully survived in this world, he urgently asked me for specific information." Seleus raised his eyebrows, he really didn't expect Lancer to have such an experience.

"Yeah, but the hope of the Holy Grail has been shattered." Lancer quickly regained his spirits. This straightforward, hearty hero knew that depression and decadence could not solve any problems at all. "I'm afraid I'll have to think more about it elsewhere."

"Strictly speaking, the Holy Grail can be repaired." Serius quietly looked at Lancer who heard the news, then turned his head to stare at him.

"It only takes a brilliant Caster to repair and purify the filth in the Holy Grail to restore the essence of the Universal Wishing Machine." After providing so much information as a foreshadowing, Seleus finally brought the topic to this place.

"And fortunately, the Caster of this Holy Grail War happens to have the ability to analyze and purify the Holy Grail..."

"Can the Holy Grail be repaired by this year's Caster?!" Lancer excitedly pulled up the long spear he made into a fishing rod, and at the same time fixed his eyes on Serius. "Have you met Caster?"

"In fact, this is the information that my old friend left me before his death. He wants me to be careful of Caster."

"Since you haven't seen Caster, why are you so sure that Caster can purify the Holy Grail and regain the ability to make wishes?" Lancer's eyes became suspicious.

"This is the information provided by my old friend. He has the ability to collect Servant information on a large scale, and he is very sure that Caster has that ability."

"Didn't you ever think that you would be deceived by that old friend?" Lancer couldn't help interjecting.

"I'm pretty sure he won't lie to me about this kind of thing," Seleus said with a very serious expression, or it could be said that he was not serious when it came to his best friend.

"Okay, okay." Lancer scratched the top of his head. Since Serius had said so, he could only trust the great hero's own judgment. "What do you need me to do?"

Lancer asked Seleus, he already understood the purpose of Seleus to find him at this time, but what does it matter?

Lancer has a thirst for the Holy Grail, but he can't do anything about those things that pollute the Holy Grail.Therefore, helping Seleus restore the Great Grail became a must for him.

"Actually, I don't need you to do anything for the time being." Seleus waved his hand to Lancer who suddenly became serious.

"I don't need to do anything, so what do you want me to do?" Lancer was a little confused.

"As long as at this stage, it is enough not to send other Servants back to the Hall of Valor..."

......

A major event happened in Fuyuki recently-a natural gas pipeline on a hill near the old town somehow encountered an open flame, resulting in bursts of violent explosions.

And I read reports that the top of the mountain was forcibly cut off a layer, and the people who were bombed near the top of the mountain also lost their lives.

Because of his adoptive father, Emiya Shiro, who aspired to become an envoy of justice, felt heartbroken after hearing this report, how much he wanted to save the lives of those victims before these disasters happened.

But this matter was beyond his reach, and he was really helpless.

In addition to that disaster, Emiya Shirou was keenly aware that everything around him had quietly changed. Leaving aside the abnormal behavior of Xuemei Sakura earlier, the change of his friend Shinji was also surprisingly large. Before, he wished he would never go home for the rest of his life, but these days he returned to Matung's house as soon as school was over, and Wei Gong was even on duty several times.

But it wasn't a big deal, Emiya Shirou didn't take it too seriously, he cleaned up the Kyudo Department by himself, and was able to leave the school after dark.

Then, he saw the battle between the two servants...

Chapter 28 Illya at the Door

As if predestined, the red Archer and the blue Lancer met on the deserted playground. The black and white double knives and the scarlet magic gun collided with each other. It looked very weird.

Lancer stepped on the ground, and under the influence of a force that could crush the ground, he stabbed like an arrow at Archer who was holding two knives in front of him. However, he was still injured and did not show his full speed. It was easily held by the two knives.

"boom--!"

Archer's arms slammed hard, and the black and white knives directly blocked the holding magic gun, and at the same time poured magic power into his right foot. With a side kick, Lancer kicked the empty door into an empty classroom , in a way that smashes the wall.

"Tch, first I met a Berserker who was so strong that he could still maintain his sanity, and then I met an Archer who didn't take the usual path."

With one hand, the table pressed against his body flew away, and Lancer, who emerged from the smoke, curled his lips in displeasure. "I always have a terrible feeling that I am a different kind in the Holy Grail War. Is this also the effect of lucky E?"

"It's not like you to be complaining to yourself." Since the beginning of the battle, Archer has been suppressing Lancer with two knives, making Archer smile slightly. The archer with two knives made a fool of himself. , and then looked at Lancer on the opposite side with mocking eyes.

"What? Where did your prestige go?"

"Ha~~!!!"

Blue veins kept pulsating around Lancer's temple, obviously burning with anger at the red-clothed archer's provocation.

As a great Celtic hero, being suppressed by archers with their weird two-knife sword skills in close combat made him very uncomfortable.

However, this is because the injuries he received from Berserker hadn't healed yet, so he couldn't show his true strength. Therefore, even though he was very upset, Lancer still planned to retreat first, and come over to beat up the kid after recovering from his injuries. Take a breath.

But the provocative nature of Archer has completely changed. If Lancer continues to prepare to retreat according to the previous plan at this time, won't he become a lost dog who runs away with his tail between his legs?

"How dare you say it, Archer!" Lancer clenched his magic gun, leaned over and made a dash, and responded to Archer opposite him with a low voice full of murderous intent. "I want to see if you have the ability to take over my deadly magic gun."

"I can't take it anymore..." Archer stretched out his two knives, although his eyes became dignified because of the sudden increase in Lancer's aura, he still stimulated Lancer's emotions with a mocking smile. "Try it, don't you know?"

"Bastard!" Lancer was so angry that he almost lost his mind, his eyes widened, and he rushed towards Archer frantically.

"clang!"

With a loud noise, the ground of the playground was crushed instantly, and a blue afterimage flashed across the air, and then slammed into the red archer fiercely.

'This power? !How can it improve so much? '

Archer, who was crushed by the huge force from the magic gun, gritted his teeth. He found that Lancer's strength had increased by more than a notch compared to when he had just fought, and his speed had also directly increased by a notch.I could suppress him before, but now it is extremely difficult to even keep up with Lancer's movements.

"Zh-bang!"

There were a lot of sparks between the tip of the spear and the double knives, but Lancer, who was superior in strength, still kicked the two knives away, and then kicked Archer, who was too late to remake the two knives, to fly away in revenge.

The archer, who was in relatively good condition, tried hard to maintain his balance, and at the same time stretched out his feet to use the friction of the ground to stop, but Lancer's hateful blow was too powerful, and Archer still smashed into a classroom wall.

"Really, isn't your body a bit unbearable?" Lancer, who had the upper hand, didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue, but looked at his trembling left hand with a slight frown.

Just now, because he couldn't get angry with Archer's provocation, Lancer directly used rune magic to strengthen his body for fighting, but strengthening his body for fighting undoubtedly increased the burden on his body, and his body had problems after just a few moves.

'Let's get here first tonight. Lancer's eyes first looked at the red figure slowly walking out of the smoke on the opposite side, and then glanced at the beautiful girl Master who was carefully guarding him.

"The information has been investigated almost. The Servant summoned by the girl from the Tohsaka clan is an outrageous dual-sword archer. Although I don't know his strength as an archer, it is obviously suitable for me who has the protection of avoiding arrows." Not a threat. '

'Also, I also promised Berserker not to defeat the rest of the Servants for now, this time first...'

Thinking of this, Lancer raised his gun and wanted to leave, but the sound of footsteps that did not belong to anyone present reached his ears abruptly.

"Who!" Lancer turned his head abruptly, and what he saw in his scarlet eyes was a red-haired student who was running away...

"What's going on?! What's going on?! Why..."

Shirou Emiya desperately ran between the teaching buildings. Even though his body was already overloaded and his lungs were as if they were being burned by fire, he continued to open his legs, trying to get rid of the monsters who were chasing him. Man escapes from hands.

"No! Now is not the time to think about these things. With the speed shown by those people, I will definitely be caught up..."

Shirou Emiya shook his head, shaking out some trivial matters that had no effect on the status quo. 'I need some weapons, weapons to protect myself. '

After making up his mind, the red-haired boy rushed directly to the utility room he was very familiar with, and then took apart the head of a mop in two or three strokes.

"Then, from now on, as long as... um!" Emiya Shirou was planning to use the only magic he could use to strengthen the wooden pole, and use it to resist the blue-haired man's attack.

But before he could take any action, a scarlet magic spear suddenly appeared, piercing his heart.

"Oh? You bastard, even after seeing the battle between me and that bastard Archer, can you muster up the courage to resist?" Lancer glanced at the wooden pole in the red-haired boy's hand, and there was admiration in his words.

"If you were placed in my time, maybe you would become my fellow apprentice and train with the old woman?" Lancer pulled out his magic spear, and looked at the red-haired boy who was slowly falling to the ground with regretful eyes. "But who told you to watch something you shouldn't?"

In order to maintain the secrecy of the Holy Grail War, ordinary people who discover the mystery will either be erased by magicians using magic to erase their memories, or they will be erased directly by those who perceive it. Lancer, who has no means of erasing memories, can only make this young man whom he admires a little. kill.

As the magic spear was pulled out, warm blood gushed out from the boy's chest continuously, and Emiya Shirou's consciousness gradually blurred with the loss of vitality.

In a daze, Emiya Shirou seemed to see the white-haired man standing on countless battlefields...

"Forgive me...why is it you...how should I explain to that child..."

The body was opened, and in the confusion, Emiya Shirou seemed to see the bright starry sky...

Emiya Shirou covered his left chest with his right hand, grabbed the ruby ​​that fell to the ground with his left hand, and staggered back to the Emiya residence.

The young man, who was exhausted both physically and mentally, collapsed on the tatami, and then held up the red gemstone that suddenly appeared beside him and looked at it carefully.

"Who is that blue guy? And the white-haired man who fought against him is exactly the same as in the dream..."

"I was almost killed just now... No! In fact, I have already been killed once, did someone save me?"

"Who the hell is that? I should at least say thank you to her."

Emiya Shirou carefully recalled the figure he saw before he died, but he couldn't see her appearance clearly at all.

"I was rescued again, I am really lucky..."

"You are very lucky, but I am unlucky. Why didn't the little girl who rescued you erase your memory?"

A low-pitched male voice mixed with complaints sounded, and Emiya Shirou, who still remembered the voice, widened his eyes for an instant, and suddenly rolled over to avoid the point of the spear that was approaching his heart, and then rolled two times in succession to catch the inertial force. stood up.

Lancer brushed two guns indifferently, and put the gun on his shoulder.

"Isn't it okay to just be stabbed to death by me? Boy. It hurts to see yourself being killed. I'm thinking of you."

"I don't think that after killing me once, it's for my sake that he still persists in trying to kill me." Looking around quickly, Emiya Shiro wanted to find a weapon that could defend himself.

"To be honest, I don't want to kill someone twice in one day, but what can I do? The little girl who saved you refused to erase your memory, so I have no choice but to kill you again."

Lancer played another trick with his spear, and then he grabbed the spear and stabbed Emiya Shirou directly.

"Zheng-"

Between life and death, Emiya Shirou's potential seemed to be stimulated, and he strengthened the bamboo knife with strengthening magic almost instantly, and desperately suppressed the tip of Lancer's spear.

"Oh? I'm still a magician, and I was able to see and take my shot from such a short distance. Is it a life-and-death feeling?" Lancer can easily give Wei Wei a shot with just one hand. Gong Shirou was under a lot of pressure. If he showed his real skills, he would have killed the boy on the spot in an instant.

"With such a high talent for fighting, and a magician with magical powers, it seems that your kid is likely to be a Master." Lancer looked at the boy opposite him with great interest, and he was a little bit looking forward to what step the boy could make. .

"I'm definitely not his opponent, I want to escape and deal with him outside..."

Emiya Shirou didn't have the energy and mood to talk to Lancer who was looking for fun, but took advantage of the opportunity when the other party's suppression of him was relieved because of his words, he directly broke through the gate leading to the courtyard, and then turned his head to Lancer to pose an enemy.

"Go outside, don't you know that when fighting indoors, the bamboo knife in your hand is more advantageous than my long spear?"

Lancer teased the red-haired boy, but Shirou Emiya was not moved at all.

Indeed, as Lancer said, short-handled weapons are more advantageous than long guns indoors, but this is when the strength gap between the two sides is not large.

And according to Lancer's ability to easily crush even concrete floors, Emiya Shirou didn't realize that some wooden houses and furniture could block the scarlet spear, and as a mortal himself, The ability to dodge will definitely be limited by the small space.
