Lancer driving skills were not too bad, or rather, with his current reaction speed, as long as the car could keep up, he could absolutely drive through traffic like in a movie. But the problem was that he had only driven on roads, and he had never been to 'the wild' which was as rugged as this. The final result was that the Jeep sped towards the Yggdmillennia family's castle like an 'unbridled wild horse', and the route it took was indeed in line with the description of 'unbridled'.
Lancer, who was sitting in the driver's seat, looked at the road ahead and comforted the girl beside him.
"We're almost there. Just hold on a little longer."
Lancer didn't say 'drive slower', after all, the situation at this time was extremely urgent. Even from a distance, they could see the battle between that 'fortress' and the ground 'anti-aircraft units'. The dazzling magical beams were enough to show how terrifying that battle had been, but even so, that 'fortress' still did not stop its forward momentum.
"..."
And in the face of Lancer comfort, Fiore, who was almost curled up in the passenger seat, weakly nodded.
Although she looked very weak, she was actually deliberately hypnotizing herself, which made her feel a little better, and during this time, she hadn't complained at all. After all, compared to Lancer who was just afraid of being surrounded due to a lack of combat power, Fiore cared about her family from the bottom of her heart and sincerely hoped that those 'family members' could be spared from harm, and soon this bumpy journey came to an end.
It wasn't that they had reached their destination, but that they had finally entered the 'combat zone'.
The battlefield on the east side was the main battlefield, where 'Crown · Light of Wisdom' and 'Hanging Gardens of Babylon' were fighting.
There, the fortress floating in the sky was releasing purple lightning, constantly bombarding the silver-black giant mixed with dark green on the ground. And during this period, that 'giant' also constantly threw various 'projectiles' at the sky, a large part of which were giant trees that were grown in a short period of time using the ability of the 'Crown · Light of Wisdom'.
And closer to the west was the battlefield between Vlad III and Karna. This place, in terms of visual impact alone, was not inferior to the battle between the two 'giants'. The 'mountain of spears and sea of fire' on the ground made people feel as if they were in hell, and the constantly expanding battlefield made it so that the homunculi and Dragon Tooth Warriors had nowhere to escape.
And the SUV that Lancer and the others were riding in naturally came from the east. The battles between the Dragon Tooth Warriors and homunculi they encountered along the way were not enough to threaten the people in the car, but as they entered the range of the 'artillery fire', the 'fortress' in the sky awarded them a shot without any hesitation.
Although the power of the purple lightning was terrifying, none of the three Heroic Spirits in the car were weak. With their strength, they could completely send this purple lightning back, but the problem was that if they made a move, the destructive power would probably be even greater than this lightning, and this car would not be able to be saved. So they chose the simplest option.
Jeanne and Chiron pushed open the car doors and jumped out, while Li Shuwen was even more domineering. He tore off the roof of the car with both hands and then grabbed the roof before jumping out. As for Lancer, he tore off the seatbelt on Fiore's body and then held her in his arms, protecting her.
"Don't speak. Be careful not to bite your tongue."
After reminding the other party, Lancer jumped out of the car with her in his arms.
And Fiore, who was still in a daze, had no idea what was happening. She only felt herself leave the soft cushion and then her whole body was held by a strong arm. Then she only felt her whole body shake, which made her忍不住 shrink into that strong arm.
There was no doubt that this was human instinct, to long for safety when facing danger.
But when she opened her eyes, she saw Lancer broad chest.
After his clothes were destroyed before, Lancer had just casually put on someone's jacket, as he didn't want to expose his 'hunter's weapon box'.
The final result was that he didn't button it up, wantonly exposing his strong chest muscles and firm abdominal muscles.
"Lancer, let me hold my Master."
Chiron, who was holding Fiore's 'Magic Gauntlet' in his hand, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although he had jumped out of the car after he saw Lancer leave with Fiore, he only truly relaxed after he confirmed his Master's safety.
But strangely, Lancer shook his head.
"We don't know what kind of enemies we will encounter next, and Archer, you need both of your hands to fight with all your might, right? For the safety of all of us, Fiore will be held by me for now."
Lancer explanation was very reasonable, but Chiron still glanced at his own Master. After seeing her silently nod, he stopped saying anything more.
The Jeep being hit by lightning might have been due to 'luck'. For the rest of the way, they didn't encounter any decent attacks or interceptions. As for those Dragon Tooth Warriors, even Lancer could easily deal with them, not to mention Chiron and Li Shuwen.
However, when Lancer and the others arrived at the Yggdmillennia family's castle, he suddenly had a bad premonition. In principle, he should be safe for now, right?
"My lord, Miss Fiore and Mr. Lancer have entered the castle."
With the homunculus's emotionless voice, Darnic couldn't help but take a deep breath. Although he had done similar things countless times, he couldn't help but feel a bit nervous about doing it so suddenly. After all, unlike usual, there were no remedial measures this time. Once he made a mistake, the existence named 'Darnic' would completely disappear.
And just as there was only one 'Command Spell' left on the back of his hand, an 'attack' that no one had expected arrived.
"Thump~!!!"
Although there was no one around him, the black spikes that emerged from the ground lifted Darnic's 'corpse' into mid-air.
Feeling his blood constantly draining and his life gradually disappearing, Darnic was not nervous. Instead, he raised his right hand again.
"Vlad Tepes! In the name of the Command Spell! Win the Holy Grail War! You are not allowed to attack anyone from the Yggdmillennia family before you seize the Holy Grail!"
As he used the Command Spell again, the spikes that had only pierced him 'grew' again, but this time, no blood gushed out of the wounds, because the blood in his body had basically drained away.
But even so, there was still no fear on his face. After all, he had already guessed all of this. He just hadn't expected it to happen so soon.
Before the flame of his life was completely extinguished, he finally activated the 'spell' on his body.
"Begin! Soul transfer!!"
Along with his low roar, a halo of light appeared on his body, and then the 'person' named Darnic's body completely split into two, which also cut off all possibilities...
