The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

None of this has anything to do with me.

Scathach would never say a word about this.

She didn't care what their ending was.

All the queen wants is to replicate her mortality.

From this point of view, Scathach felt that she and Kenneth had the best compatibility.

But in a sense, the two of them are also the worst compatible.

If she could obtain the method of replication from Kenneth, Scathach was sure that she would abandon him without hesitation.

As for the identity of this lancer, there will naturally be a solution when the time comes.

But Altria didn't understand all this.

Her intuition told her that the woman in front of her holding a dark red spear was definitely not a good person.

Not to mention that the other party saw through his identity right from the start.

If she could do this, the actual situation would be obvious - she was also a Servant.

And judging from the fact that she was all alone, I'm afraid her group had adopted the method of hiding their Master, similar to Kiritsugu and I.

"Master, please step back a little."

While keeping Irisviel away from the battlefield, Altria gathered her magic power and transformed it into the white skirt she wore during the battle.

And the next moment, she had a golden sword of victory (Caliburn) in her hand!

Seeing this, Irisviel realized that a war was about to begin.

She remembered the instructions of her husband, Emiya Kiritsugu, and then disguised herself as a real Master in the most serious tone and "gave" orders to Altria.

"Saber, defeat her!"

Hearing this, Scathach looked at Irisviel.

There was a hint of doubt in those wine-red eyes.

"Are you exposing yourself so casually?"

"You don't need to worry about that kind of thing."

Artoria responded to Scathach's words, then rushed towards the opponent with her golden sword (Caliburn) in hand.

"Saber's desire to fight is very strong."

Scathach muttered to herself, and then began to use her dark red spear to block Artoria's attack.

That is a powerful weapon called Gae Bolg Alternative!

With a ding sound!

The golden sword of victory and the spear of death collided with each other, producing brilliant sparks.

It was a scene that could be seen clearly even in broad daylight.

"Excellent swordsmanship."

Scathach easily fended off Altria's attacks while evaluating her like a teacher.

“The courage to take the initiative is also quite commendable.”

"If we met in normal times——"

"Saber, I think I might be willing to take you in as my apprentice."

"It's better to avoid such things!"

Altria pulled back the golden sword of victory that was in a stalemate, then changed the way she swung the sword and attacked again.

This is a method I learned from Ian.

It is something that is more suitable for use in actual combat than the traditional swordsmanship taught by his sworn brother Kai.

It can often disrupt the opponent's rhythm.

Bang!

Bang!

Relying on the skills taught to her by Ian, Altria's consecutive attacks achieved extremely obvious results and suppressed Scathach.

However, Scathach was not angry because she was temporarily at a disadvantage. Instead, she further praised Altria's behavior.

"Great!"

“Know how to change your fighting style according to the opponent’s situation.”

"Saber, you must have been mentored by someone, right?! Let me see him!"

"..."

Altria felt her breathing quicken.

Because the opponent was obviously fighting with him in an extremely relaxed state.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to constantly evaluate your attacks while fighting.

So--

Her strength should be above mine.

Altria's premonition soon became reality.

Scathach then said:

"But unfortunately, those words just now seem to be meaningless."

"Saber, we are now... absolute enemies!"

After saying this, Scathach blocked Altria's attack with one hand and freed her other hand.

The wine-red eyes also glowed.

The next second, an identical Gae Bolg Alternative appeared in her free hand.

In an instant, the situation began to reverse.

Skadi, holding two guns, counterattacked Altria with a fierce attack.

"Saber, faster!"

Scathach's weapon repeatedly struck the Golden Sword of Victory, playing a melody that sounded like death.

"Saber! Show me something even more powerful!"

"..."

Artoria had no time to respond to Scathach in front of her.

At this moment, she knew that the other party was indeed very powerful.

Fortunately, I am not without ways to resist.

The heart of the red dragon gave her an extremely strong "intuition".

This is an ability that can be used in combat - being able to fully predict the opponent's next offensive intention, and then evade or counterattack based on this.

People at Altria's level can even achieve a brief "future vision".

and so--

Although Scathach's attack was indeed powerful, it was also extremely fast.

But Altria was still able to achieve almost perfect defense.

of course.

The prerequisite for achieving this kind of defense is that Altria's mind is highly concentrated.

If you are distracted for a moment, you may get hurt due to momentary negligence.

only--

Such passive defense alone will definitely not solve the problem.

How can we achieve a fatal counterattack?

Altria pondered this question silently.

But at this moment, she heard Scathach suddenly say something.

“So it’s intuition?”

"Then in this case, there is really no way to attack you in this way."

"what?!"

Before Altria understood what Scathach meant, she saw her holding up both guns and then raising them upwards.

Out of a defensive instinct, she also raised her golden sword of victory, trying to block the opponent's attack.

however--

This time, Scathach did not launch an attack as Artoria had predicted.

On the contrary, she rolled backwards and put a considerable distance between herself and the female swordsman in front of her.

This is extremely puzzling behavior.

Altria had no idea why the Lancer, who had the upper hand, suddenly did this.

But Scathach soon let her know the answer.

"Your intuition is really amazing. Even I am surprised by it."

"But--"

Scathach grasped her two Death Piercing Spears.

There were flashes of dark red light, and as if they were cast with some extremely terrifying spell, they began to continuously emit a terrifying power.

"What if you need to face an attack that you absolutely cannot avoid?"

"Gae Bolg Alternative!

"What did you say?!"

As soon as Altria heard this, she saw Scathach throwing one of the dark red spears towards her.

To be fair.

In the eyes of the young swordsman who possesses "intuition", the flying speed of this weapon is definitely not fast, and can even be described as "slow".

but--

Through her "intuition", Altria could only observe one and only one ending for this gun.

That's hitting yourself!

Yes.

No matter how many actions Altria could take to avoid the arrow, the end result was always that it would hit her.

She instantly realized that there was something wrong with the gun.

But it's too late.

The dark red spear hit Altria's right shoulder squarely.

Suddenly, blood flew in the morning air.

“Saber!” Irisviel behind her screamed.

Although she didn't quite understand how to end the fight between Servants.

But she knew that her friend Altria was injured - which meant she was at a relative disadvantage in the battle.

However, Irisviel only saw the surface.

For Altria, who actually took the attack, the situation was much more serious than that.

She found that her movements had become much slower.

The gun thrown by this lancer seemed to have some extremely complex magic formula, which could directly block the target's movements in a short period of time, making it unable to move.
