Adjusting his posture, he watched the other party at any time. The person in front of him looked young, but seemed not as easy to take down as he imagined.
"That strange movement technique... is Assassin!"
"Heh, I've already lost my Master, yet you still pester me endlessly."
Judging the comer, Kyoko Sakura actually felt strange too. Reasonably speaking, regarding Servants like them who lost their Masters, other Master-Servant pairs shouldn't come to provoke them immediately. Unless it was to recruit people...
But Assassin was obviously here to "kill." She strongly suspected what the motive behind the scenes was.
"Looking at you, you won't speak either."
"Then I can only defeat you first!"
Fortunately, thanks to the contract with Jonouchi here, she didn't fall into an awkward situation. The magical energy stored back was enough for her to carry out a decent battle. Whoosh!
Witnessing the other party not running but approaching instead, Kenshin had doubts. 'Reasonably speaking, the lack of magical energy is her biggest trouble at this moment.'
'But now, she doesn't retreat or panic; instead, she has an attitude of confronting Sessha...'
Already raising his sword to clash with the long spear, he changed his footsteps at the same time, letting his body avoid the incoming attacks again and again. But the more he fought Lancer, the more Kenshin felt something was wrong.
In his impression, he should be constantly forcing the other party, causing the other party to only "flee in panic." But Lancer's calm expression... He had a bad premonition.
"Take this! Take this! Take this!!" The long spear continuously thrust and waved. The changing spear shaft could even twist and strike like a nunchaku.
Even Kenshin, who had experienced hundreds of battles, had to avoid this magical weapon getting close. It was the first time he saw a spear that could change like this.
Although this girl's dress was incomprehensible, her "martial arts" were considered qualified. At least she wasn't brainlessly waving the long spear around. "Quite good at dodging..."
Although not subjected to overly deliberate attacks, Kyoko Sakura found that she couldn't hurt the opponent either. This person's speed was really too fast. Relying solely on the long spear in her hand, she found it hard to restrict him.
"In that case, taste this!" Whoosh! The thorny chains spreading around formed a square cage, locking Kenshin inside, then shrinking.
"Heh heh, now you can't dodge around anymore." Occupying all the space for the opponent to dodge, this way she could hit "one hundred percent." Clang! Clang! Clang!!!
"?" But in the next moment, she witnessed Kenshin's exaggerated swordsmanship. The afterimages of blade light flashed, and the blocking thorny chains were all cut off.
Like fireworks scattering, they collapsed on the ground. 'What weapon is that? It can actually cut my...'
Looking at Kenshin in astonishment, Kyoko Sakura didn't expect the opponent to be so powerful. Whoosh! Before she could think more, Kenshin had already rushed over.
"Tch!" Habitually pulling back the distance, she manipulated the thorny chains to attack from all directions. Clang!! Clang!! But just as they approached, they were cut off one by one by Kenshin wielding the Divine Sword.
'Such a sword... truly sharp.' The Divine Sword bestowed by that "King of Heroes" was actually such a convenient item.
If it were his sakabatou (reverse-blade sword) from before, he probably would have found it hard to attack like "cutting melons and chopping vegetables." Experiencing the importance of a "good weapon" for the first time, Kenshin silently remembered it.
"What a terrifying guy..." Being approached again, Kyoko Sakura then used another "Magic." Rossa Phantasma (Red Phantasm)! More than ten clones appeared around, surrounding Kenshin.
Surrounded by so many people, he didn't panic at all; instead, he was incomparably calm. Facing the clones swarming up, Kenshin responded like this... "What a pity."
"What Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu is best at is..." "Fighting many with one!" In the field of vision, the not-so-strong swordsman in front waved the weapon in his hand, "slaying" the clones approaching almost in an instant.
"This..." That exaggerated scene really opened Kyoko Sakura's eyes. Just like the anime or old movies she watched before, the swordsman in front was really too brave.
"Which era's sword master is he exactly!" Sprinting away directly, Kyoko Sakura was extremely conflicted. Why did she feel that every Servant was stronger than her?
It was fine if it was Jonouchi playing with magic trickery, but why was "Assassin" so powerful in a frontal fight? 'Bad, quite bad.' Running on the street, Kyoko Sakura had no idea of fighting him anymore.
This Assassin was surprisingly strong. Compared to Sayaka's sword-throwing and the sword-fighting style of clashing bayonets head-on with her, what the person before her revealed was a true sword master.
Whoosh! Although he could catch up with the other party directly as long as he was serious, Kenshin didn't do so. After all, this trip wasn't really to kill Lancer. ...
"Mn, sure enough, no matter how one looks, one can't guess Lancer's true identity." Risei Kotomine and Tokiomi Tohsaka and others had been observing the scene through familiars.
Besides ensuring the necessity of the plan, they were also exploring this girl's intelligence. "Clones, those bramble-like chains, using a spear capable of changing, crimson long hair... strange costume."
"It's hard to distinguish which era's hero she is..." This couldn't be said to be Tokiomi Tohsaka and others having too little knowledge, but rather the opponent's characteristics didn't match the heroes in their cognition at all.
After all, Heroic Spirits, to put it bluntly, were existences who became legends after death with great achievements.
"Forget it. Even if we don't know her True Name, it doesn't matter much." "Assassin has forced her to flee very well."
"Next, if the other party has even a trace of extreme behavior, that can become evidence of crime."
Listening to the planned intentions of his father and teacher, Kirei Kotomine remained silent. Actually, he had a big doubt from just now, only he didn't ask it out of consideration for face.
That was... How did Lancer manage to have such spare energy to spar a few rounds with Assassin? One must know, the other party had lost her Master!
Being able to confront Assassin for that long in this "Masterless" state was a bit unusual. One must know there was a big difference between "Mastered" and "Masterless" Servants.
A Master could provide a Servant with "Panel" improvements. Due to different Masters, the "Strength, Endurance, Agility, Mana, Luck, Noble Phantasm" displayed by the Servant might fluctuate between "E-EX (E, D, C, B, A, EX)" ranks.
Take Kenshin as Assassin for example; his Agility reached the level of "A," while the "King of Heroes" Gilgamesh only had "B" in Agility.
So usually, a Servant with a Master fighting a Masterless Servant should theoretically have a huge advantage in other aspects besides the convenience of magical energy supply.
But no matter how one looked... Lancer didn't seem to show any signs of "weakening"? This made Kirei Kotomine always feel that there was something existing that they didn't know.
PS: By the way, I'll post some information at the end every time. Agility, Strength, Endurance, these also have distinctions of "+" and "++."
For example, A+, A++, EX is unpredictable, exceeding the evaluation range. The following are some settings in this book.
Berserker (Warrior of Light):
Out-of-Combat Recovery (EX): Will continuously recover magical energy and injuries when not in combat state. Can return to peak in a very short time. Can recover quickly even in severe injury or near-death state (including severed limbs and other severe injuries).
Class Change (A++): Due to possessing multiple identities and martial arts, can perform class changes by switching weapons and release Noble Phantasms. Due to his own special experiences, can even be summoned as special classes like "Saver," "Avenger," "Ruler," etc.
Azure Dragon Flame (A): Can only be used in Lancer state. Releases "Latent Energy" to attack the selected enemy. Because the selected person will be locked on, they cannot dodge.
Caster (Jonouchi):
Strong Luck (EX): In making "gambling" choices, the one needed will definitely appear. Although occasionally it will fail, the probability is extremely small.
Familiar Summoning (E-A++): Can summon various unknown monsters to fight.
Magecraft (E-A++): Uses cards to use various Spells and Traps. I'll talk about the rest slowly later...
