The battle between Saber and Lancer made Rin, who was watching, feel her blood quicken and her heart pound!
Unlike Irisviel, who could only feel the aftershocks of the battle below, Rin's eyesight and dynamic vision allowed her to clearly see every combat movement of Saber and Lancer.
Perhaps with the enhancement of her heterologous bloodline and the completion of End Magic, Rin's physical qualities and skill levels were even above those of Heroic Spirits like Saber and Lancer, but in terms of martial arts realm, combat experience, and life-and-death struggle, Rin was still far, far behind the Servants.
Rin would not get overly excited by the surging hot blood and rush into the battle; it was not her time to appear yet. Moreover, Rin had already keenly discovered the location of Lancer's Master, Director Kayneth, in the shadowy light of a container stacked alone on the opposite side of Rin. And he had also kindly provided the service of setting up the battlefield boundary.
And not long after the battle began, two more life signatures entered the vicinity of this battlefield, concealing themselves in two hidden corners with open views. Rin knew that Kiritsugu Emiya and Maiya Hisau had arrived, having rushed over after receiving the alarm signal from Irisviel.
Heh, the actors are appearing one by one.
Rin, relaxed and in a good mood, said to Lancelot beside her, "Berserker, what do you think?"
"Master, there is definitely something fishy about this matter."
"Hmm-hmm-, well, Berserker, in your opinion, how is Lancer's martial arts?"
"The First Knight of the Fianna Knights lives up to his reputation. Although he could not descend as his most proficient Saber class, and only descended with his two spears, which are not well-known in mythology, his martial arts are still impeccable."
Rin nodded in agreement. Although his basic ability values were not very high relatively, Lancer was a Servant skilled at using tactics and strategies to deal with superior enemies, especially acting as a natural enemy for Heroic Spirits who relied on their noble phantasm abilities.
It's worth mentioning that although Lancer was Director Kayneth's Heroic Spirit, Director Kayneth used magical techniques to change the mana provider to his fiancée, Sola, while Director Kayneth himself could maintain full strength for magical combat. Director Kayneth never trusted Lancer from the start, and it was because of Sola's weaker magic power that Lancer's attributes were lowered.
"What's wrong, Saber? Your attacks are not very effective."
"..."
Facing Lancer's taunts, Saber had no room for rebuttal. They had fought for thirty rounds, clashing hundreds of times, but not once had she landed a hit on her opponent.
Lancer brandished the spear in his right hand and charged forward. The swinging blade drew a considerably wide attack range, its force and speed no less than if he were wielding the spear with both hands.
And precisely because he used only one hand, there were many moves that were not present in two-handed spear techniques. The spear thrust fiercely at Saber from an unexpected angle.
However, a spear, after all, has its limitations. Because it is too long, it inevitably exposes weaknesses between two attacks. At such times, the short spear on the left could immediately follow up, continuing to restrain Saber.
And Saber's previous attack was precisely thwarted by the flawless defense of the short spear.
Using two spears simultaneously, yet without a single feint, the spears in his left and right hands cooperated seamlessly. What kind of dedication is needed to learn such powerful techniques?
Two spears, two swords, Diarmuid, his reputation is not merely boasted!
"Berserker, who is stronger in martial arts, you or Lancer?"
"Master, rest assured, Lancelot, who has been recognized by the counter force and bestowed with Infinite Martial Cultivation, will not lose in martial arts to any opponent. Even if I were to use the same long and short twin spears as Lancer, which I have never used before, I would still win."
"Then I'm relieved. However, Lancer and Saber have already made a duel agreement, and it's not good for us to interfere before they decide life or death, but you don't think your King will lose, do you?"
"Of course, my King will surely win!"
"Well~ my own Servant shouting that someone else's Servant will surely win, it feels so unsettling."
"Master! I..."
"Oh my, oh my, I know, I know, haven't we already agreed? I don't mind these things."
A flawless, beautiful face, clear eyes full of fighting spirit, an awe-inspiring and unparalleled temperament, courage and decisiveness in battle—in a trance, Lancelot seemed to find the feeling he had before joining the Knights of the Round Table, when he roamed the world as a wandering knight, free and at home wherever he went. Those times of eradicating evil, upholding justice, slaying dragons and monsters, and freely settling grievances.
If I could have met Master in that era, I would definitely have become Master's pursuer, always close behind, never succeeding, yet never shaken off, never giving up. If we had met before my King, perhaps I would not even have joined the Knights of the Round Table.
Then, all the tragedies that began because of me would surely not have unfolded... Master, Lancelot's sword, even if it cannot bring you the Holy Grail and victory that you disdain, will surely bring you safety and fulfill your wishes! It will protect your safety, allowing you to fully enjoy the passion and fervor of this Holy Grail War! Even if honor is no longer present, I still pledge upon this sword: I, Lancelot, will guard my Master Tohsaka Rin until my last moment before dying in battle and returning to the Throne of Heroes!
PS: Why does this novel, whose purpose is yuri, write such content? Well, as the saying goes: excellent male beings will unconsciously attract female beings; similarly, beautiful and excellent female beings will naturally and unconsciously attract male beings, not simply attracted by beauty, but by genuine admiration arising from personal excellence and charm.
Although this book is yuri, that is determined by the author's and Rin's aesthetics and personal preferences, but if Rin were not loved by male beings, wouldn't that make Rin seem to lack charm as a female being!?
Of course, this novel solemnly declares! This book consistently adheres to: No marriage! No transformation back! No futa! No sexual relations with any male beings! Firmly walking the harmonious yuri path! Vowing to make pink lilies bloom across the 2d world (anime/manga world)!
