Although he had obtained the 'Heroic Spirit Template', Lancer had never revealed this trump card. After all, his original plan was to give Darnic, who he knew was setting a trap for him, a 'surprise'.
But plans couldn't keep up with changes. Achilles' attack almost made him unable to resist using his 'Noble Phantasm', but thankfully Li Shuwen came to the rescue, and he also breathed a sigh of relief.
But before he could completely relax, new changes appeared. The fireball that appeared high in the sky instantly reminded Lancer of a Servant - Karna!
After all, the fireball in the night sky at this time was really like a 'small sun'.
Berserker was captured, Saber retreated, Archer was shooting at each other, Rider's life was unknown, and now Lancer had also appeared...
Lancer couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Just like how the Black Faction went all out to capture Berserker, it seemed that the Red Faction also planned to completely devour the two 'chess pieces', Assassin and Archer, here.
At this time, the simplest method was naturally to CALL for support, but the problem was, although Lancer had joined the Yggdmillennia family, he had not accepted the family's magic crest transplantation, and the two sides were wary of each other. Naturally, he could not ask for help, but fortunately, he had other options - Fiore.
Moreover, it was not just for CALLing for support. One of the other party had retreated, and one's life was unknown. It could barely be considered a 3V2. Counting him, it could even be considered a 3V3, but if Fiore were to be killed, then Archer's strength, even with the 'Independent Action' class skill, would be greatly reduced, and he might even be unable to release his Noble Phantasm. It would not be easy for him to bear the burden of two Servants alone, and it might even affect Li Shuwen's performance.
So even for his own sake, he had to protect Fiore!
Although he didn't know where the other party was now, the two Archers shooting at each other gave him the simplest direction, and his 'luck' this time was also good. He soon saw Fiore who was transferring with a 'Magic Gauntlet'.
And the other party had obviously also seen Lancer and was controlling a complex Magic Gauntlet composed of four Magic Gauntlets, just like 'Doctor Octopus's' mechanical claws behind him, and was rushing towards him.
But at this moment, a smoke dragon sped over from a distance, and when the other party got closer, Lancer even saw the owner of that smoke dragon through his 'Eagle Eye' - Achilles, who was riding in a carriage!
At this time, the other party had none of his previous coolness. His matcha-colored hair was gray and messy, and the armor on his body was cracked everywhere and could barely serve as protection. His face was even smeared with a light red color, which seemed to be freshly wiped away blood.
But as disheveled as he was, his ferocious expression made his goal obvious.
Lancer didn't know that the other party possessed two permanent Noble Phantasms called 'Meteor Dash' and 'Undying Hero', but he knew that he was able to hold on only because the other party had not used his Noble Phantasm. But now, it was different. He had no choice.
Since he had no choice, he might as well not think too much!
"Fiore! Hide behind me!"
Fiore, who had just arrived at Lancer side, hadn't figured out what was happening yet, and then she found that the aura on Lancer body was becoming a bit strange...
Although he had obtained the 'Heroic Template', he had never really used it. After all, who knew where Darnic was monitoring him?
And this time, he finally got his wish to 'try it out'.
The ghost of the old era!
The terminator of the heroic era!
The creator of iron and fire!
GHOST!!
The release words were a bit embarrassing, but as Lancer spoke the 'True Name' of his Noble Phantasm, his surroundings began to change.
Although it was late at night, there was not a single cloud in the sky. The deserted town was not eerie under the moonlight, but as 'ghost' was released, a cold mist began to spread from the alleys around him, and then a huge wooden door appeared behind Lancer and Fiore. And when Lancer spoke the 'True Name', the wooden door opened with a bang!
"Clack~ clack~"
Along with a strange sound, the ground around the door was instantly frozen with the door as the center, but this was not the end. The ice spread crazily, and a tall figure over two meters tall gradually walked out from behind the door.
"Clack~ clack~"
Along with the sound of armor rubbing against the ice, Fiore, who was at a loss behind Lancer, finally saw the full appearance of the other party.
The silver full-body armor shimmered with a dazzling light, but from the cracks in the armor, cold air would occasionally emerge. The huge lance in the other party's hand was also over three meters, approaching four meters. Of course, the most eye-catching thing was the strange pattern carved on the center of the chest armor and the long spear. On closer inspection, it turned out to be the 'spider lily'.
But before she could continue to observe, the silver armor, which had been moving slowly, suddenly held its lance straight and began to accelerate.
Then -
Bang~!!
Along with a strange sound, Fiore only felt a strong wind pass by her face, so much so that she had to close her eyes, but when she opened her eyes again, she found that Lancer had changed.
He had completely torn off the top that was almost ripped, which allowed her to see Lancer strange ice-like arm and the huge spider lily pattern on his chest at a glance. At the same time, he was also wearing an ear stud that shimmered with a demonic light on his ear.
"Be careful yourself!"
After Lancer gave a warning, he rushed towards the place where 'ghost' and Rider were fighting, while Fiore looked at Lancer, who was holding Gáe Bolg and wearing that strange 'clown mask', with a face full of surprise.
Fiore could almost be certain that the aura emanating from Lancer body at this time was unique to a 'Servant'.
'Is Lancer a Servant? But aren't the seven Servants already complete? The Ruler has also been confirmed...'
Fiore stood there, at a loss. The only thing she could do was watch Lancer back gradually leave.
She didn't know why Lancer had to hide his Servant identity. She also didn't know who the other party was, but she knew that the other party had revealed his identity, which he had hidden for a long time, just to protect her.
The smoke of the battlefield was still lingering, but the girl's heart was quietly stirring...
However, Lancer at this time did not notice the situation behind him. In his eyes, there was only that green-haired Rider.
Since he had used his Noble Phantasm, his goal was also very simple - victory!
Although he didn't know why the other party had survived, in his opinion, the other party, who had been brutally beaten by Li Shuwen, could not be unharmed. So he also had a chance to defeat the other party!
Before, in order to hide his trump card, he had to be suppressed. Now, he was going to get his revenge!!
