The Battle Between the King of Knights and the King of Knights / "Lancer," "Saber," "Rider"

But that unique aura acts like a GPS, making it easy for other similar beings to find them.

"Are you here?"

Seemingly sensing Saber and Irisviel's presence, the figure moved, causing a streetlamp in the distance to flicker slightly, and a screen of light shot out.

It was a blond boy with the same hair color as Saber, dressed in a pure white knight's uniform, who told Saber and Irisviel that this Heroic Spirit must have been a knight in his previous life.

"A rather fierce fighting spirit... I suppose you must be Saber?" Arthur's lips curled into a smirk.

"The same hair color as Saber." Before Saber could answer, Irisviel exclaimed in surprise, "And the same eye color! Was he also British in his previous life?"

"I am Saber, and I think you must be Lancer!" Saber seemed not to hear Irisviel's words. After hearing Arthur's words, she took the initiative to step forward and asked seriously.

However, the tone was affirmative!

"That's right, I am Lancer." Gazing intently at Saber at close range, Arthur's handsome, composed face remained unchanged as he asked meaningfully, "Do you need to state your real name?"

"It seems you were a knight of great honor in your lifetime." Saber didn't grasp the deeper meaning in Arthur's words, instead offering a surprised and admiring remark, before adding helplessly, "It's a pity that such a casual introduction before a life-or-death battle is already quite unexpected."

"I understand, after all, I had no choice in the matter." Arthur said with a faint smile, "Then... let's begin!"

That's exactly what I was thinking!

'Swish--'

'Whoosh--'

The moment the two finished speaking.

· ······Requesting 0 flowers ······

A golden light suddenly appeared around Arthur, and when he reached out, his fair, jade-like fingers grasped an invisible spear.

At the same time, Saber in front of them also erupted with a surge of Mana. Her body was encased in silver-white armor, with a dark blue dress underneath, and she held an invisible sword in her hand.

"Oh? You have similar methods?" Saber looked at the invisible object in Arthur's hand, appearing quite surprised.

If it weren't for the subtle distorting and flowing of the air around his palm, it would be completely undetectable.

"Likewise!" Arthur said with a light laugh.

Arthur deliberately concealed the "Rhongomyniad" using the "Invisible Air".

0

'The Rhongomyniad' also has another name— Rhongomyniad!

It is King Arthur's Holy Lance, and also the spear of vanguard!

Although the Holy Lance is not as famous as Excalibur or Avalon, it is still very well-known.

If this Holy Lance wasn't hidden, Saber would definitely have discovered it.

After all, this Holy Lance was the weapon she used to pierce Mordred's body.

"Alright, let's go!"

'Whoosh--!'

For some reason, Saber felt a strange sense of unease.

There was mutual appreciation, but more than anything, there was a sense of familiarity.

Moreover, this sense of familiarity prevented her from remembering where she had seen it before.

I can't think of anyone from whom I've sensed this!

However, she put those thoughts aside for the time being and acted simultaneously with Arthur.

'Call--'

'Clang!!'

A storm of Mana swept in, followed by the resounding clang of metal echoing through the warehouse street.

With this clash, the battle between the two Servants came into view for some.

Both other Masters and Heroic Spirit used their own methods to pay attention.

Chapter 286 The Battle Between King of Knights

"It's so heavy!"

In the clash of weapons, Saber was instantly at a disadvantage. She felt a tremendous force strike her wrist through Excalibur, and if she had been even slightly careless, the weapon would have surely slipped from her hand.

"Mana Burst!"

Saber narrowed her emerald green eyes slightly and, without saying a word, unleashed her unique skill, a powerful flow of Mana spreading outwards.

'Swish--'

With her physical abilities and weapons enhanced, Saber wielded an invisible sword and slashed at Arthur.

'Whoosh--Bang!'

Arthur easily dodged her attack by sidestepping.

White boots swept in with a whooshing sound, aimed at Saber.

Just as the kick was about to hit "433", Saber narrowly blocked it with the back of her hand. Her petite yet heavy body was instantly blasted away by the powerful kick.

"This can't be real! This power, is he really 'Lancer'?!" Irisviel, who was not far away, exclaimed in amazement, covering her mouth as she watched Arthur send Saber flying with just a kick.

If it weren't for the scene of Arthur chatting amiably with Saber earlier, Irisviel would have even thought he was 'Berserker'.

"I see..."

After kicking Saber away, Arthur landed steadily, but instead of pressing his advantage, he stood there with a slight sigh.

Arthur managed to figure out this body somewhat.

It is indeed the Heroic Spirit state of Servant; the game system likely used the power of the Holy Grail to allow his soul to descend in this state.

As a Heroic Spirit, his strength seemed to remain largely unchanged, but he was subject to multiple restrictions imposed by the system or the Holy Grail.

For example, Arthur's various skills, whether it's Observation Haki, Armament Haki, Conqueror's Haki, or Swordsmanship, all consume mental energy, spirit, and physical strength.

Even now, if Arthur wields a sword, he can still unleash powerful strikes.

However, the cost of this strike became a drain on Mana.

Even the Three Types of Haki are like that!

Arthur is constantly consuming the Mana of his dormant 'Avalon' body.

His situation is similar to that of other Heroic Spirits. Because he is not the original form, although he is still powerful, he is subject to various limitations due to the lack of Mana.

Arthur was in a much better situation than them; at least Mana he consumed came from his own body, rather than from his Master, which they had to consume.

'Boom--'

At that moment, a loud bang suddenly rang in my ears.

A considerable amount of debris was seen flying out of the containers billowing smoke in the distance.

Saber, looking slightly disheveled but still exuding heroic spirit, emerged from the smoke, wielding an invisible sword.

'Whoosh--'

Seemingly wanting to retaliate with her actions, Saber didn't waste any words. With her hands gripping the invisible sword surging with Mana, she charged towards Arthur at lightning speed like an arrow released from a bow.

'Sizzle sizzle...'

Seeing this, Arthur twirled the invisible spear with both hands, and wisps of electric arcs suddenly swirled around his body.

"Noble Phantasm Unleashed?!"

Upon witnessing this scene, both Irisviel and those lurking in the shadows instinctively assumed the same thing.

Even Saber narrowed her beautiful eyes, her expression becoming even more serious.

Even Saber narrowed her beautiful eyes, her expression becoming even more serious.

"Looks like you can't see it..." Arthur said with a meaningful smile, looking at Saber's wary expression.

"..."

Saber didn't speak, but a hint of confusion appeared on her youthful, serious face.

Arthur, who had taken in her expression, confirmed his suspicions.

It seems that these Heroic Spirits who descended as Servants have not only had their Noble Phantasms and strength weakened, but their unique skills have also been weakened.

Saber has almost everything that Arthur has.

Including Mana Burst, Instinct, and Charisma!

Instinct is also at level (A), which means it can completely Future Sight.

Even before Arthur acquired the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's power and raised his Observation Haki to A++ level, he could easily Future Sight using his Instinct (A) when he was at sea.

They even developed the habit of Future Sight while fighting.

That was when he was still in his original form!

And now, Arthur can still do it.

Because his Observation Haki has reached the level of being Future Sight.

Saber did not foresee his next move; clearly, such foresight requires a calm mind or a certain amount of time to achieve.

"60 million volts..."

'Sizzle sizzle...'

Arthur assumed a stance as if preparing to thrust, the arcs of electricity around him growing increasingly violent.

A strong sense of crisis welled up in Saber's heart, causing her to stop her charge. She gripped the invisible sword in both hands and stared at Arthur with a solemn expression.

"Thunder Dragon!!"

The invisible spear in his hand vaguely revealed the tip, only to be instantly concealed by the winds of the world.

The dazzling blue and white lightning made it so that no one noticed it.

"Roar--"

A massive Thunder Dragon appeared out of thin air, roaring as it charged furiously toward Saber.

In response, Saber solemnly raised the invisible sword in her hand.

'Call--'

The howling of the wind was drowned out by the roar of the Thunder Dragon, but 4.5 clearly reached Arthur's ears.

Saber raised her invisible sword, assuming a stance that signaled an impending thrust.

The winds that swirled around Excalibur began to swirl.

A Mana flowed, ready to burst forth.

"One floor, two floors, three floors... five floors! Less than I expected..." Arthur whispered, his eyes slightly closed, in a voice only he could hear.

"Strike Air!!"

At that moment, Saber's shout suddenly rang out.

The five layers of wind coalesced into an orange beam of light, which shot out from the invisible sword in Saber's hand.

For about two seconds, the invisible sword was revealed.

Chapter 287 'lancer', 'saber', 'rider'

'Bang--!'

The orange beam of light collided with the blue-white Thunder Dragon, ultimately canceling each other out.

The lingering effects of the Mana spread out, causing Arthur and Saber's clothes to flutter and sand to fly.
