Putting aside the fact that everyone's condition is about the same, even if Kenneth is in perfect condition, Shiomi has enough confidence to win.
In Shiomi's opinion, that kind of academic magician is too easy to deal with.
Moreover, if he allowed Kenneth to continue staring at him, he would feel very uncomfortable. After all, he hated being stared at.
"In that case, I can only accompany you." Morgan understood.
"But before that, we need to get Sakura and Kallen home to bed," Shiomi said, "After that, we should visit the Hyatt Hotel in the city."
The hiding place of Lancer's master, Kenneth, is right there.
Chapter 33 Attack
Fuyuki City is divided into two parts by the Mion River. To the west is the older Miyama Town, while to the east is the rapidly developing new capital that supports the city's economy.
The Hyatt Hotel is currently the tallest building in Xindu, with 32 floors.
The top floor of the hotel has now been booked by a guest with a generous stature, and that guest is Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald.
Now, Kayneth was dragging his disheveled body, sitting in the room, gasping for breath. His servant Lancer, just like in movies and TV series, was kneeling on one knee and waiting beside him.
Diarmuid, who had also served his lord during his lifetime, knew that Kayneth was in a very bad mood because he had just suffered a terrible defeat.
This is the second time.
The long-awaited Holy Grail War begins, and Kenneth, who is fully prepared, suffers a series of defeats, which severely hits his self-confidence.
Kenneth, who is far more outstanding than his peers both in his family and in the Magician Association, has never encountered any setbacks.
No matter what the subject is, he can solve it better than anyone else.
Although he had no persistent ambition to make continuous efforts, nor did he pursue any grand goals, his achievements were always better than others, that was all.
Kenneth realized very early on that he was what people called a genius, but he never felt arrogant or proud of it. He simply continued to display his talent as a matter of course.
He never encountered difficulties, nor did he worry about the possibility of running out of ideas. Young Kenneth completely controlled his own world, and he never doubted this cognition. He was an outstanding magician and the legitimate son of the famous Archipot family. Not only did he inherit the seal and the magical achievements of his family, but he also possessed rare and outstanding talents. All these "facts" gave him a legitimate reason for his glory. No wonder he always believed that there was nothing in the world that was not under his control. This was not only Kenneth's personal arrogance, but also the common view of everyone around him.
Whether it was completing various wonderful research results in the Clock Tower, or rising to the top at an unprecedented speed, everyone accepted it naturally because he was the "famous Lord of El-Melloi".
Kenneth was used to being called a child prodigy. Even though his position was the envy and jealousy of everyone, he did not feel any satisfaction or sense of accomplishment. All this was just a "natural result" in his life.
This was the case in the past, and of course Kenneth's success in the future is beyond doubt. This is the "promise between life and him", sacred and inviolable, and at the same time, it is also a major premise that cannot be questioned for him.
Because the order of the world is so easy to understand to him, if some extremely rare and unexpected inconveniences and coincidences accumulate and lead to some "unexpected" situation, he thinks this is an absolutely unbearable chaos and blasphemous order.
For example, like now.
Kenneth has suffered losses at the hands of Xijian Tianxi twice in a row.
The first time, Lancer was unable to defeat Shiomi on his own; the second time, Kenneth made a misjudgment and planned to challenge Shiomi himself with his proud ceremonial outfit, but encountered Berserker.
Kenneth has always looked down upon Xijian Tianxi.
He knew that there was such a person in the Magic Association, who was currently favored by the democratic Baluereta. After retiring as the designated executor of the seal, he would serve as an independent magician and take on some of the Magic Association's work.
Although he claimed to be a disciple of the Grand Puppet Master and had learned the Kamishiro Rune that was restored by Aozaki Touko, in Kenneth's eyes, Rune, an already unpopular magic subject, was naturally not worth mentioning.
After all, the Magic Association was founded by the disciples of the Magic King Solomon. Rune magic, which is completely different from the magic inherited by Solomon, has declined due to the passage of time, so it is natural that it will be treated like this.
He had never had direct contact with Shiomi, nor had he paid attention to her mission history - even though as the monarch of the Clock Tower, he had the means to review it, but he did not do so.
So it's hard to believe and unacceptable.
Although he is a magician, he is able to compete with his followers and can even challenge the mysterious golden Servant.
Although it was Berserker that was summoned, that Servant not only had sanity under his B-rank frenzy, but could even use magic of the Age of Gods level.
With all these things happening, plus the fact that he almost lost his life tonight, Kenneth, who returned empty-handed, was extremely anxious.
"Lancer, what do you think about future battles?" Kenneth asked.
"Please forgive me for being frank, but if we want to obtain the Holy Grail and present it to our lord, we need to choose to hold on temporarily and wait for the fighting between all parties before considering the fact of attack." Diarmuid rarely put aside his passion and calmly offered advice.
Now is clearly no longer the time to seek challenges and practice chivalry.
It is a complete battlefield where one can lose his life if he is not careful.
Lancer knew very well that tonight in the Einzbern Forest, even if he did not take action, the sea demon would not be able to do anything to Xi Jian.
He just chose to take action out of apology for being forced to launch a sneak attack last night.
"Sure enough, even you think this is the only way." Kenneth had a headache.
There was no way around it. Lancer was originally Kenneth's backup plan. He had originally planned to summon the King of Conquerors, but because Weber stole the holy relic, he could only summon Lancer, and his chances of winning were greatly reduced.
"Since the situation is unfavorable, just admit it honestly and stop trying to show off."
A woman came out of the bedroom and warned Kenneth in a stern tone. It was Kenneth's fiancée, Solawu Nazele Sofiali.
"The opponent was that independent magician. You can only blame yourself for looking down on others and not even doing any prior investigation." Solaw mercilessly criticized Kenneth's mistakes.
"Solawu..." Kenneth was not furious at these words, but rather hesitated.
"I have investigated Xijian Tianxi's information through the Magic Association's connections. That person is definitely not just doing some commissioned tasks." Solaw frowned, not hiding his dissatisfaction with Kenneth. "He has participated in the seal designation and the mission of cooperating with the Holy Church's agents. He is an out-and-out practical person."
Of course, Solaw would not tell Kenneth that she was investigating out of curiosity about the handsome magician who was about her own age.
Although this vague curiosity completely dissipated with the arrival of Lancer, what remained was only solid information.
"Seal the designated executor..."
Kenneth's brows furrowed even deeper, but before he could say anything else, an alarm sounded in the barrier he had transformed into a magic workshop.
Lancer and Solau both felt the approaching magical power.
Chapter 34: The Cracked Dual Guns
To Kenneth, the barrier's alarm about foreign invasion did not make him panic. He even had time to change his clothes that had become dirty from the battle earlier and put on clean clothes.
Above the 30th floor of the hotel, there was no one except Kenneth and his group. There was no doubt that they had received a magical hint to disperse the idlers and left the place on their own.
Kenneth admired this standard magician's behavior, and he could clearly see through the barrier and the surveillance of the familiar that the person who came out was Tianxi Shiomi who was in the Einzbern Forest just a moment ago.
Accompanying him was his Berserker Servant, who was already fully armed.
Although Kayneth consumed a lot of his magic power in order to escape from the castle hall in order to resist Berserker's attack, he still had the confidence to fight against the enemy even when he returned to his workshop and was attacked by the enemy.
Kenneth spent a large sum of money to buy the top floor of the Hyatt Hotel and transformed it into a large magic studio.
Of course, this transformation is not on the material level, but an enhancement on the magical level.
Kenneth set up twenty-four layers of barriers on the thirty-second floor. The defenses were so rigorous that they could even be described as magic walls.
There are also three magic furnaces dedicated to him, which are used to provide and replenish magic power.
As a means of counterattack, dozens of evil spirits were summoned to replace the hounds.
It can be said that this is a home battle in the true sense. Kenneth is sitting in his seat at this time, drinking champagne, waiting to kill Shiomi Tianxi, who has long been exhausted by the workshop, and then defeat him.
Kenneth was craving for blood, and Xijian Tianxi coming to his house to die in person was exactly what Kenneth needed at the moment.
"Don't think that the only practical magician is the designated executor of the seal. In terms of actual combat, I will not lose to other magicians." Kenneth said to his fiancée.
Solawu, who was usually difficult to approach, smiled at him and said, "Of course, I am looking forward to your performance."
This attitude made Kenneth more motivated, and he even calculated when to go out to meet the enemy.
If Xijian Tianxi fell down halfway, Kenneth would not feel any sense of accomplishment even if he killed him, and he might even be despised by his fiancée.
First, let's take a look at the situation on Lancer's side.
Kenneth thought so and connected to the Servant's vision and hearing to check the situation on the battlefield.
Lancer did not have any actual battle tonight. He was in perfect condition, and he felt a little guilty about facing Shiomi in this way.
But there is no other way. Avoiding battle at this time would be the greatest betrayal to the lord.
After seeing Shiomi coming out of the elevator on the 31st floor, Lancer stood in the wide hall and shook his head slightly at Shiomi.
Berserker was following behind Shiomi, but that was not a pity for Lancer.
It is natural for a servant to fight another servant, and a master to challenge another master.
After seeing Lancer's intention to let go, Xi Jian didn't say anything polite. He just said to Morgan, "I leave it to you here," and walked past Lancer and went upstairs.
The elevator's function of reaching the top floor was disabled, so Shiomi could only take the stairs - even though there were all kinds of traps there.
Lancer saw Shiomi disappear into the fire escape from the corner of his eye, and then he looked at the Berserker in front of him again.
His facial features are identical to Saber's, the only difference being his hair and eye color. He is undoubtedly a Servant related to Saber at the blood level.
In this case, the battle at sea last night was probably not hostility, but rather a mutual test.
Being both a berserker and a magician, Lancer tightly grasped the two guns in his hands and stared at the magic gun that had been used by Shiomi Tianxi.
Without declaration or prompt, the battle began.
Lancer rushed towards Berserker like a sharp arrow and thrust out the red spear with a longer attack range.
when--!
The weapons were blocked, and then they engaged in close combat again.
Berserker is capable of close combat, which is an answer that Lancer was fully prepared for.
As a Servant who is good at using spears, he can fight with another Servant who is good at using spears. This alone is enough to make Diarmuid feel deeply gratified.
There is no need for tactical deception anymore, as the Noble Phantasm's true name will inevitably have been revealed.
There is no need to test each other anymore, because the other party has already reached the doorstep and a fight to the death must be fought.
Lancer wielded both guns like the wind, and Morgan did not hold back either. Both sides continued to swing and twirl their weapons, engaging in a fierce attack and defense.
The fighting moves of the two sides could not be identified with the naked eye. Within just one minute, they had fought dozens of rounds and the two sides once again distanced themselves from each other.
"That shooting skill..." Lancer's face was solemn.
"Oh? After all, you are a gun servant. Once we fight, you will see my gun skills." Morgan held the gun with one hand.
"Is that really the case?" Lancer was extremely shocked.
The answer is simple, Morgan's marksmanship is exactly the same as Xijian Tianxi's.
Did the Servant teach the Master how to use a spear, or did the Master instruct the Servant in how to use a spear?
No matter which side you choose, it doesn't make sense.
the reason is simple.
Whether it is Xi Jian Tianxi or Morgan, the marksmanship of this master and servant is exactly the same, which is definitely not a level that can be trained in just a day or a night before the Holy Grail War begins.
Not only that, Morgan seemed to know very well how to deal with opponents like Diarmuid who used dual guns.
Whenever Diarmuid attempted to stab Morgan with his red spear, Morgan would stab Diarmuid with his magic spear without any scruples.
This was not to seek mutual destruction, Lancer understood. Because he had to hold both guns in the middle to ensure that the weapons were firmly controlled in one hand.
The result is that even the longer gun will have its attack range reduced.
But Morgan was different. She held the strange magic spear with both hands. The spear was already longer than the standard. When she and Diarmuid were stabbing each other, she only needed to hold the end of the spear and the blade would reach Lancer without waiting for Diarmuid to hit her.
No matter how many times he tried, Diarmuid would always come to the same conclusion.
“I didn’t expect that there would be an opponent who knows the strategy of fighting with two guns so well…” Diarmuid felt a little pressure, “I thought you were not a warrior good at hand-to-hand combat, it seems that I underestimated the enemy in a corner of my heart.”
He had no intention of delving into the relationship between Berserker and her Master; it was not important to him.
Diarmuid put away the pistol in his hand and fired a few bullets with the red gun.
"Now that the secret of the two guns has been revealed, I will no longer hold on to any luck."
Missing a treasure would bring disadvantages, but it was better than having your marksmanship targeted and cracked at every turn, which could be fatal at any time.
"Lancer, Diarmuid Odin, joins the fight alone!"
Morgan just smiled faintly, and the tip of the magic spear pointed at Diarmuid's head in the distance.
Chapter 35: A Trial
After pushing open the iron door of the security passage on the 32nd floor and entering the corridor, Xi Jian Tianxi clearly sensed the signs of renovation of the entire floor.
It's completely a magician's position.
