Or, why don’t you find another savior?

"That's great! You can actually keep up with my speed." Lancer couldn't help but get excited. "Stay away, Master. I can't guarantee your safety after the fight."

"understood."

Bazette agreed, quickly pulling away.

Logically speaking, even if he is not the Master, you should fight him back if he comes knocking on your door.

But she now knew very well that to Lancer, Shiomi Tianxi was an enemy that belonged only to the Servant of the Spear.

In any case, Bazette should not intervene in this battle, and can only stand aside to ensure the outcome of the battle.

Until then, anyone who intervenes will become a common enemy of both.

"That's what I wanted to say. Is this the limit of your speed?"

The moment Xi Jian finished speaking, he came to Lancer's side, swung out the gun in his hand, and the light reflected from the sharp blade drew a fleeting crescent moon.

If he hesitated for a moment, he would be pierced by the spear blade, but Cu Chulainn dodged and counterattacked at the same time.

A huge amount of magic erupts on the park's trails.

The two sturdy magic spears collided with each other hundreds of times in just a few breaths.

Every time he was looking for the opponent's weakness, but every time he was seen through by the opponent before he could find it, and then the attack was blocked.

The two men were like precise snipers; no movement was unnecessary and no attack was meaningless.

All just to pierce each other's heart.

boom--

With an even more violent air explosion, the two guns, after their final confrontation, distanced themselves from each other and took up their positions.

Lancer showed an even bloodier smile on his face.

Shiomi seemed to have frozen her heart as she stared at the other person coldly.

Chapter 16 The decisive difference

Bazette finally realized that Xijian Tianxi was definitely not just the strongest among the designated executors of the seal.

The magician's evaluation system is no longer sufficient to accurately assess Shiomi's strength.

His battle with Lancer had already exceeded the limits of what a human could achieve.

If she were to fight Lancer, without activating her Noble Phantasm, it would be hard to say how long Bazette could hold out against Lancer's overwhelming attack in this state.

Every step they took broke through the ground.

The wind pressure from every clash of their weapons tore through trees and broke streetlights.

The roads and grass in the park were already covered with horrific marks. The street lamp where Shiomi was standing when she appeared had already bent into several pieces and flew several meters away, creating a dent in the ground.

Their speed had exceeded the limit of Bazett's vision. Even with magic power to strengthen his eyes, he could only see two colors of virtual images passing by.

Unless the two of them stop occasionally.

The wind was howling.

All the atrocities that violate the physical laws of this world make the atmosphere scream hysterically.

The deserted park is suffering unprecedented devastation.

It was not a battle planned for the Holy Grail War, but it was just as brutal as the Holy Grail War.

It seems that the long-lost battle of deepening is being staged again here.

Red thunder split the sky and raging waves shattered the earth.

"I take it back." Lancer grinned, "The movements, the spearmanship, and the body movements are all the same as mine. They were taught by that person."

Xijian slowly moved to the side, looking for the next opportunity to launch an attack: "No wonder Master often compares me with you. Your skills are indeed worthy of Master."

"Hmph..." Lancer sneered, "But I didn't expect it to be the same gun as that guy. Even I am a little surprised."

When Lancer saw the gun in Shiomi's hand, he once suspected that this man's ancestor had sneaked into the Shadow Kingdom and stole the prototype gun from there.

"I told you, the reason is similar to yours." Xijian attacked again.

It was precisely because of similar reasons, and because they were all students taught by the same master, that even though they were separated by a thousand years, they met on the battlefield of the Holy Grail War.

The living and the heroic spirits continued to engage in an evenly matched battle.

No matter how they change their strategies, their marksmanship remains essentially the same. With just a slight movement, they can easily interpret the opponent's next move.

"To be honest, we Servants don't have much free will." Lancer's emotions were getting higher and higher in the increasingly intense battle, and he even had time to chat. "I thought it would be another routine fight, but now I have the opportunity to fight against an opponent like you."

"It's the same for you, Lancer." Xi Jian swung his spear, deflecting Lancer's slash, and swept the opponent's ribs with the butt of the spear, but was dodged as expected. "I am enough for the master to be his most proud disciple, so just go back to your seat."

Hearing this, Lancer gently turned the gun in his hand, holding it with one hand and carrying it on his shoulder.

"Ah, to be honest, even if you're my master, I'm not interested in the title of 'the most proud disciple'." Lancer looked at him with a mischievous smile, as if he had found some clues that could inspire Shiomi to give his all. "But if any third-rate guy wants to call himself 'the only one', it's not good enough."

Cu Chulainn had already realized that Shiomi was trying to defeat him using exactly the same skills.

But precisely because they were exactly the same, Lancer would never surrender easily.

What's more, Shiomi must have some hidden skills that he hasn't used yet.

Lancer would just find it boring if in the end they could only release the Red Spear's true name and pierce each other's heart, ending up dying together.

"Then... I'll satisfy you." Xi Jian said lightly, also holding the gun with one hand.

He stretched out his left hand into the void on one side and slowly clenched it.

Lancer's expression changed again, shock slowly appearing on his face.

"What's wrong, Lancer? You don't have a second gun, do you?" Xi Jian raised the corner of his mouth slightly with a playful smile.

"No matter how many guns you have, there's only one thing to do!"

Cu Chulainn roared, his blood and magic power boiling because he couldn't contain his excitement.

Double gun flow.

Cu Chulainn, who had trained in the Shadow Kingdom in the past, did not have that much time. Moreover, just being proficient in the use of a spear was enough to make him invincible on the battlefield.

His final death was only caused by his own character flaws.

He didn't expect that there was someone who had enough time to learn his master's unique skills. Whether it was talent or time, he was somewhat envious.

Of course, what is more important than envy is being able to have a fight.

The battle resumed, with Lancer's attacks more fierce and deadly than before.

Almost as Lancer expected, Xi Jian Tianxi was not in a disadvantage because of holding a gun in each hand.

The spear is originally a two-handed weapon, but Shiomi uses it with the speed and agility of a one-handed weapon, fully utilizing the advantages of the Death Shooting Spear's longer attack range and heavier weight.

If you attack the left, the right will come; if you attack the right, the left will come.

There is no high or low, no strong or weak.

The two guns have equal power.

It was just like facing the Master himself.

There is no way to expect which side is weaker, and the only way to win is to defeat both guns at the same time.

And soon, Lancer realized what disadvantages being a Servant had compared to the living.

That is, due to the limitation of his class, although he can use rune magic, he is somewhat unfamiliar with it because he finds it troublesome and does not want to use it.

So when Lancer saw the staggered double guns swinging outwards at the same time, the fire tornado that was rolled up had to retreat.

He knew very well that even if he had magic power, he would not feel relieved after being hit by this rune magic.

"You bastard! Using runes in battle is considered cheating!" Lancer scolded.

"What a weird reaction. Since you're the master's disciple, practicing rune magic is the most basic of the basics." Shiomi smashed the magic spear in his right hand to the ground.

Weapons suddenly emerged from the cracked ground and surrounded Lancer from all sides. Fortunately, Cu Chulainn had top-notch agility, so he was able to find a glimmer of hope in this watertight magic.

"Tsk... I really have no way to defend myself when my fellow disciple says that to me." Lancer complained with a helpless smile.

Of course, he had no complaints about Shiomi's fighting style.

After all, everyone’s master is the same person.

Chapter 17: Fierce Battle

"You are really belligerent, my husband."

At the other end of the park, Morgan, who was standing far away on the top of a tree observing the battle, sighed to himself.

Originally, after Shiomi discovered the whereabouts of Bazett, one of the masters, he just wanted to fulfill the commission sent by the monarch, Tremberio, on behalf of the association. He wanted to ask the other party, sort out the results casually and leave.

So Morgan didn't follow him. After all, Shiomi was fully capable of escaping easily.

Unexpectedly, Bazette's Servant was a Lancer, the Prince of Light, Ku Chulin. This made Shiomi, who originally had no intention of getting entangled, change his strategy and turn his spearhead towards this fellow brother.

The battle has changed from the initial hand-to-hand combat to a battle mixed with magical exchanges.

The primordial runes are not exclusive to Shiomi. Cu Chulainn, who is also a student of Scathach, has also learned the eighteen primordial runes.

Therefore, when Shiomi began to launch a magical attack using the pair of magic spears in his hands, although he was unable to exert his full strength in magic due to the limitations of his class, Cu Chulainn still used magic on a rare occasion.

A tornado of flames and strong winds crashed through the park, and all the objects caught in it were reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye. The shattered concrete road surface was also smoked black and covered with dust, as if a fire had just occurred.

"This is really a problem." Cu Chulainn pinched his chin and watched calmly as the great magic he had barely released was offset little by little by his junior brother's magic.

Although it was called a cancellation, there was no doubt that Shiomi's magical power had gradually gained the upper hand.

As a Lancer, his magic power is not outstanding, only at the C level. In addition, Cu Chulainn is more proficient in fire magic.

This is also the type of magic that can maintain its original power to the greatest extent at this level.

However, Shiomi is different. Wind, earth, water, and fire, it seems that there has been no restriction on attributes from the beginning. Shiomi's magic has everything.

Gradually, it became possible for Shiomi to figure out the characteristics of Lancer's magic.

"You can't be one of the five elements."

Lancer held his spear horizontally and took a stance, intending to take advantage of the gap when Shiomi performed the great magecraft, close the distance in one breath, and gain the upper hand in hand-to-hand combat.

"Who knows? I didn't dwell on this issue, and when I came to my senses, it was already like this."

Shiomi's index finger swept through the air, and white words flashed by.

As soon as he finished speaking, Cu Chulainn felt the air around him suddenly change. The area within a radius of about ten meters around him was suddenly filled with countless runes.

Although the two did not fight each other all the time, there was never any opportunity for Shiomi to place so many runes.

With his deep understanding of Runes, Lancer found the locations of the starting nodes of these Runes and recognized the three Rune characters.

These three runes arranged together mean "production".

"Tsk, using runes to make runes!" Lancer became excited again and rushed towards Shiomi with a roar.

Shiomi did not write down so many runes, but it was not difficult to arrange the first three runes by taking advantage of the intervals between fights.

The so-called magic battle is just a cover-up to cover up this behavior.

Even Lancer was fooled. When he rushed out, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that magicians were really a group of annoying guys. The fight was full of twists and turns and not efficient at all.

——Although this idea inadvertently included myself.

This time, Lancer's attack did not encounter the expected obstruction. He had already prepared for a change of tactics after his thrust was broken, but the Gae Bolg in his hand was like stabbing a tree trunk and encountered huge resistance.

With the tip of the red spear blade as the center, the ice spread out in all directions.

"Diamond Dust." Shiomi's voice came through the spreading ice spikes.

Even if this level of magic is used against Cu Chulainn himself, its effectiveness will be greatly reduced due to his C-rank anti-magic ability.

But changing the mindset and using it to block his next move is a very effective tactic.

Both of them are experts in using guns as fast as lightning, and the slightest delay can turn into a deadly killing intent.

"Oh no—" Lancer was shocked.

Before he could finish his words, the runes that appeared with him as the center gradually exploded and submerged the Spear Servant.

Bazette, who was observing the battlefield from behind, had to raise his arms to block the blast that was spreading in all directions.
