Just as Lancer mood had not completely recovered ——————
"Kala~ kala~"
A strange sound made Lancer frown, and then he saw a strange 'puppet' walking towards him.
'Caster?!'
This was not the first time Lancer had encountered this kind of puppet, so he recognized its affiliation at a glance.
'Could it be that Caster didn't die? That's impossible, he clearly dematerialized completely! And if he didn't die, why did the red side have no reaction at all? Or was that a red side's plan? But Amakusa Shirou Tokisada is already 'dead', so why is the other party still here?'
Lancer, who had blocked 'Jeanne' behind him, suddenly pulled at the 'scarf', and a red spear immediately appeared in his hand.
But what was strange to Lancer was that the puppet did not change at all because of his actions, and just continued to walk towards him at a slow pace. And when the other party stopped in front of him, Lancer noticed that the other party was holding a piece of paper in his hand.
Although he didn't know what the other party wanted to do, he still took the paper.
"The reenacted epic, the magnificent battlefield, the heroes in a death struggle..."
A large section at the beginning was filled with all kinds of gorgeous rhetoric. Unfortunately, Lancer had no interest in it at all. He just skimmed through it at a glance, but when he saw the last section, his eyes widened.
"...O 'Demon King' who defeated the 'Savior' who saved the world! Do you know that the arrow carrying revenge has already aimed at your chest..."
The arrow of revenge? Chest?
Although it was only for a moment, Lancer suddenly thought of something.
Did everyone from the red side really leave the stage besides Mordred?
Lancer suddenly thought of a certain black figure ———————— Archer!
The biggest difference between the Archer class and other classes lies in the skill they possess for long-range sniping —————— Independent Action.
In other words...
"Pffft~!!"
A black arrow hit Lancer back...
"Pa~!"
In everyone's unbelievable eyes, Lancer directly fell towards 'Jeanne'.
"Lancer?!!"
Atalanta, who was standing on the treetop, had no sense of pleasure at all on her face after hitting her 'enemy', only a deep sense of helplessness.
She, who liked children, had witnessed countless children who died unjustly in the cruel war, and her wish for participating in the Holy Grail War was to be able to use the power of the Holy Grail to protect children. But unfortunately, with Lancer wish, the 'Great Holy Grail' completely disappeared, and she also lost all hope. At that time, she almost fell into a state of hysteria, and she even wished she could shoot and kill Lancer on the spot, but although her way of thinking was more inclined towards a beast due to her 'Noble Phantasm', it was precisely because she was like a beast that she knew that even if she carried out a retaliatory shot at that time, the possibility of success was extremely small. After all, although Lancer was extremely weak at that time, he was under the protection of three Servants, and it was almost impossible to forcefully kill him, so she chose to wait.
Using her 'Independent Action' skill, she lurked in the vicinity of the Yggdmillennia castle.
During this time, Lancer also went out several times, but she did not make a move. She was waiting, waiting for a foolproof opportunity!
Until all the Servants returned to the Throne of Heroes one by one, and even when she was about to be unable to maintain her body in the current world, the 'opportunity' finally appeared!
All the Servants had left, and no one could protect him anymore!
However, she did not intend to kill the other party, but made another decision ———————— to curse him!
After all, killing the other party at this time would have no meaning other than to vent her anger.
It can be said that at this time, Atalanta's obsession with her 'wish' had already surpassed the spirit of the Calydonian Boar that had temporarily affected her mind through the 'Divine Punishment Boar'.
'Take my wish! My resentment! Assassin's Master! I curse you!!'
Originally, Atalanta's plan was to hit Lancer heart. This way, if Lancer violated her 'curse', the arrow would move forward a little until it completely pierced his heart and went completely through his chest. During this period, whether the other party forcibly removed the arrow or did something similar, the 'power of divine punishment' condensed on the arrow would instantly explode and shatter his heart, but at the last moment, Lancer turned his body and dodged the direct hit to his heart, and the arrow pierced his shoulder...
'Damn it!!'
As she drew her bow and prepared to shoot a second arrow, Atalanta found that her body could no longer be maintained. After all, although 'Independent Action' gave Archer the ability to maintain himself even after the Master left the stage, it was impossible for it to give the Servant the ability to fight as they pleased. At this time, Atalanta was like a rootless water, and after making her 'last strike', her remaining magical energy was no longer enough for her to stay in the current world...
The only thing she could hope for at this time was that the arrow would continue to work.
(Cat ears are really irresistible. It's a pity that there's no Ta-nya in the outline for this volume. Her main event is later, so I'll just post some pictures now)
"Lancer?! Are you okay!"
Although Laeticia had felt very shy when Lancer had held her in his arms before, at this time, looking at Lancer who had fallen on top of her, she felt extremely nervous.
"I'm fine... Hiss... I can't say I'm fine..."
Lancer, who had supported himself with one hand and rolled to the side and sat up, raised his left arm with a frown.
At this time, everyone finally saw what had attacked Lancer. It was a black arrow that was emitting a black aura and had passed through the side of Lancer upper arm.
"Tiger, help me."
"Meow meow~ Meow meow meow!!"
Tiger, who had been held in little Mo's arms, also trotted over because of her disappearance. After seeing Lancer wound, he immediately yelled to call his three companions.
After tearing off his sleeve completely, they saw the black smoke at Lancer wound.
"Jack, help me cut it off."
"Meow~!"
Jack, who took out a katana from behind, slashed at Lancer armpit in a standard iai pose, but what happened next made everyone feel unbelievable, because the blade in Jack's hand actually passed directly through the arrow.
'This is troublesome.'
Lancer knew that this thing was not a simple arrow.
'Let's try it.'
He took off the Holy Shroud that was wrapped around his neck, and as expected, when the Holy Shroud wrapped around the arrow, there was a violent energy collision, but even so, it still did not disappear.
Although it didn't have much effect, it at least proved that it wasn't completely untouchable. Then Lancer gritted his teeth and did something that no one could have imagined. He actually grabbed the Holy Shroud wrapped around the arrowhead with one hand, and then ——————
"Pffft~!!"
Along with a jet of blood, the black arrow was directly pulled out of Lancer arm by him, but the wound on his arm looked extremely ferocious, and he could even see the other side through the wound.
"Meow meow~!!"
There was no need for Lancer to say anything. Alu, who was holding the 'secret medicine', began to clean his wound, and Tiger threw a bottle of wine over at the same time and took out a hunting horn that was similar to his body size.
'Ooo~!'
Immediately, a desolate horn sound echoed...
