The immortal death knight failed to achieve the ending of the heroic spirit

"Don't worry." Ezequiel seemed to be comforting Fujimaru Ritsuka, and seemed to be reassuring himself. He said in a half-joking tone: "No matter how powerful the enemy is, if they meet me for the second time, They will all lose.”

Fujimaru Ritsuka forced a smile. She was not reassured by this. The previous fierce battle under the tower was still vivid in her mind, and her powerlessness when facing Lancer's Noble Phantasm was still lingering in her heart.

Even though he was as strong as Menechel, he was injured when he responded to that level of attack, but Lancer actually didn't show any weakness.

Sure enough, after Ezequiel joined the battlefield, the situation did not improve because of one more person. On the contrary, Ezequiel aroused Lancer's fighting spirit.

Lancer, who had originally suppressed Artoria purely by relying on his physical strength, now used his magic power.

Perhaps because of the small space in the room, Lancer was not riding a horse at this time. She was holding a bright silver spear in one hand, and the body of the spear was covered with layers of gold.

The tip of the spear just sliced ​​through the air, and there was a clear explosion. Everything that the spear passed by gave way - Lancer actually gained the upper hand with only one hand.

As expected, I still need to use the Command Seal...

Thinking about it, the second stroke of the command spell revealed the red magic power, but before Fujimaru Ritsuka could activate it, the voice of Menechelle in the causal line came:
[Wait a minute, Fujimaru.Don't be in a hurry to pass me the command spell. 】

In the short interval, Fujimaru Ritsuka had already relayed the general situation to Menechelle. At this time, due to the urgency of the situation, Menechelle's tone was urgent. He tried to speak as briefly as possible:

[It’s still unclear whether the other end of the command spell is connected to me. 】

Menechelle didn't know much about so-called magic, and he didn't know exactly what step Morgan could achieve - but since the Command Spells were all created by man, it was not impossible for Morgan to rewrite the underlying logic of the Command Spell.

If Fujimaru Ritsuka uses the Command Seal to issue another "Come to me" or strengthen Lancer's order, the situation will only become more complicated.

"Then...then what should we do?"

The clanging sound of the swords clashing and the turbulent flow of magic power destroyed Fujimaru Ritsuka's sanity. She watched Lancer holding a gun with one hand and suppressing Ezequiel and Artoria one against two. Her mind went blank.

If Menechel makes a wrong judgment at this time, everything will be lost.

But there was no time for him to think it over.

[There are still two Command Seals left, right? 】

"Yes……"

【Use command spell!Have your followers stop moving immediately! 】

If the command spell is effective, even if it can only delay Lancer for a moment, with the strength of Artoria and Ezequiel, Lancer can be seriously injured.

And if the command spell is invalid, nothing worse will happen. Lancer will not be buffed.

[Listen, if the command spell is invalid, summon the servant immediately, and then use the command spell to transfer the newly summoned servant, and then you will escape alone]

[Morgan is dead, you should be able to return to the so-called...Chaldea]

It’s a very cruel decision, but it’s also something that can’t be helped.He didn't think that having one more cavalry servant could defeat Lancer.

Fujimaru Ritsuka is not from this era, and there is no need to die with them.

"I see."

His frown relaxed, but fortunately Fujimaru Ritsuka did not hesitate.

【Tell me everything you see】

……

Lancer, from the beginning of the battle, has been holding the gun with one hand.

This should have made Artoria feel dissatisfied with being slighted, but at this time, the enemy's contempt became the reason for her survival.

After Ezequiel joined the battle, Artoria did not feel the pressure lessen. Lancer's attacks still landed on her in a way that she could just handle.

Artoria could feel that Lancer's eyes were always on her.

"Feeling unwilling?"

At the moment when the gun blade and the sword blade were connected, Artoria heard Lancer's voice. Lancer seemed to want to communicate with her, but this time he did not directly "push" Artoria's sword away.

But this also meant that Lancer had a flaw. There was a sound of breaking through the air behind her. Ezequiel held swords in both hands and was within five steps of Lancer at some point. Seeing Lancer glance back at him, he also Without caring about accumulating strength, the blade of the sword slashed towards the back of Lancer's neck.

Lancer's eyes quickly changed from indifferent to disgust. Her left hand that had been hanging down was raised at this moment. Lancer turned slightly sideways, and the spear in her right hand seemed to be fixed in the air. No matter how much Artoria squeezed the magic power, it did not move at all. Lancer gave way, but Ezequiel was already prepared. As soon as his toes landed, he quickly exerted force, and his body drove the knight's sword towards Lancer's face again.

The blade of the sword reflected Lancer's face, and the tip of the sword approached inch by inch, dilating and enlarging in Lancer's pupils until it filled her entire pupils.

Time seemed to have stood still at this moment, and the knight's sword stopped in front of Lancer.

——No, it’s not time that stops.

The blade trembled, but no matter how hard Ezequiel tried, his sword could not move any further, and he pinched the blade with two fingers.The light golden luster gathered on Lancer's fingertips, dissipating the magic power attached to Ezequiel's sword.

It only took two fingers to block his attack.

The feeling of powerlessness penetrated Ezequiel's brain.

"Saber like you, I don't have time to waste on you."

The scolding sound that seemed to freeze into ice came to my ears.

"It's hard to imagine how someone like you could defeat Menechelle."

Ezequiel only felt a huge force coming from his abdomen, his internal organs seemed to be squeezed together, and his body flew out faster than when he came in.

A cold light flashed from below, and Arturia raised her sword and stabbed Lancer in the face. She seemed not to have expected that Ezequiel would be defeated so quickly, and there was still a little confusion on her face.

But Lancer didn't give her any time to be confused. She stretched out her left hand and grabbed Arturia.

"In the name of the Command Seal, stop!"

That was Fujimaru Ritsuka's voice.

The red light disappeared, and a gaze was locked on Lancer.

Lancer's body maintained the posture of reaching out, and red light formed in the palm of her left hand, creating a blurry shadow - the Holy Grail.

The hand that was about to grab Artoria paused, and Lancer turned his hand away in an extremely unnatural gesture.

The dim holy sword fell on Lancer's armor, and apart from the patches of sparks, there wasn't even a trace of white mark left.

Seeing this, Lancer's usually expressionless face revealed a rare mocking smile.

"Look, if you want to [play] a good king, not only have you forgotten who you are, you can't even play the king."

Arturia gritted her teeth.

There was no answer, and Lancer pressed down with his right hand, forcing Artoria to give in.

"I will treat Menechiel well after you die."

"you--!"

Lancer did not continue to speak. She turned towards Fujimaru Ritsuka as if she had been prepared, and at this moment, the sound of chanting a mantra was heard.

——Servant summons.

Artoria wanted to stop her, but Lancer ignored her.

The spearman raised his hand, perhaps out of pity or perhaps out of pride, but there was no trace of magic on the tip of the spear.

It was a pure stab, but Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't avoid it.

The tip of the spear was so sharp that even by looking at it, Fujimaru Ritsuka could feel the tearing pain in his scalp without being stabbed.

The pain became intense.

Fujimaru Ritsuka's hair was grabbed by one hand and swung back hard——

The moment his body flew upside down, Fujimaru Ritsuka saw clearly the situation in front of him.

Ezequiel, and the spear that pierced Ezequiel's chest.

Because Ezequiel's durability was reduced in the previous battle, his Noble Phantasm was sealed, and he was facing the local monster lancer Arturia, he behaved like a miscellaneous soldier.
