Before the swords even met, the Red Lancer was ready to release his Noble Phantasm.
No, if I continue like this, the enemy's Noble Phantasm will be faster than me exercising my "privilege"!
However, Jeanne did not make any response. It was not because she did not have time to react, but because someone was faster than her or even faster than the Red Lancer.
With a sharp sound, the iron pillar supporting the logo was shattered, and the place where the Red Lancer served as a fulcrum immediately collapsed.
Of course, Lancer would not be shaken by such a degree. He jumped up very calmly and landed steadily on the asphalt road. The huge magic power that was about to be released by the magic gun in his hand disappeared - without a foothold, he could not aim, and the fatal blow that was ready to be launched could not be delivered.
"Who are you-"
The Red Lancer whispered in a voice as cold as the wind, and a pair of eyes sharper than an eagle's eagle pierced through the dust raised by the fallen sign and looked directly at the figure that had not been discovered before.
The man who interrupted the Red Lancer's fatal attack walked out of the smoke slowly, holding a strange black and gold spear in his hand. On the spear, an aura similar to but different from the Red Lancer's golden spear was flowing.
Different because of the attributes.
Similar, because they have the same classification - there is no doubt that this is also a divine treasure.
"I really don't understand why you guys in golden armor like to stand on high places. One stands on a street lamp, and the other stands on a signboard, saying that you are the 'Golden Three Targets'. It's really true - just looking at you makes me want to shoot!"
The man with the gun stopped five meters away from the Red Lancer, and faced the Red Lancer who was emitting a murderous aura with a smile on his face.
The Red Lancer ignored Shinji's sigh and spoke in a cold voice.
"—Black Assassin."
Generally speaking, only the inherent skills of this class can hide from the perception of the Red Lancer, and the fact that the aura emanating from this person is much weaker than that of other classes also proves this.
"That's right." Shinji smiled, which was completely different from the attitude of the Red Lancer.
"Hmph, so your target is the ruler like me?" Red Lancer glanced at the ruler indifferently.
"Of course. But although our goals are the same, our purposes are completely different. You want to exclude him, and I want to win him over. I was originally having a headache. The judge chosen by the Holy Grail is determined, and I don't know how to open a breakthrough. I should thank you for giving me a good opportunity. After this time, you should at least give me a smile."
Shinji said this and looked at Jeanne.
Jeanne looked back at Shinji with an expressionless face, which made the latter feel slightly frustrated.
You are so similar to King of Silence in this respect, are you really okay with it
The "flirting" between the two did not cause any emotional fluctuations to Red Lancer, and he remained completely calm.
"You two are going to work together to suppress me? It doesn't matter. This is also a form of fighting. I don't mind."
This sentence expressed his confidence that he would never lose. It was not arrogance or pride, the Red Lancer just calmly stated the "truth" in his eyes.
"I don't mind using the majority to bully the minority. The primary goal of war is victory. The ugliest victory is better than the most beautiful defeat. However, the ruler this time is honest, upright, fair and strict. It's harder to get her to join forces with me than to just throw down my weapons and surrender."
Facing Shinji's teasing, Jeanne still maintained a calmness similar to that of the Red Lancer.
"Black Assassin and Red Lancer. If you want to fight here, I have no objection. I will not interfere, please rest assured. Red Lancer wants to kill me, and fighting with you two is a completely different matter. As the ruler, I have the obligation to protect the discipline of this battle."
"See, it's so rigid. If I were the referee, I would definitely kick you out if you wanted to kill me."
"So, you can't become the judge." Red Lancer nodded slightly to Ruler as a greeting, and the latter nodded in response.
Shinji curled his lips in dissatisfaction when he saw this scene - when did you two become so in tune with each other
"That's enough of the small talk. I'm following Ruler, waiting for the Red Servant. Since you've come to me, Lancer, let's start the first Servant Battle of this Holy Grail War."
Shinji's words seemed to surprise the Red Lancer: "Since when did assassins have to fight head-on like knights?"
"You've seen it, haven't you?" Shinji stepped forward, holding the Ishtar spear with both hands, "Please teach me, Red Lancer."
"Then let's fight, Black Assassin!" Lancer's fighting spirit burned like a blue flame.
The air creaked and emitted a burning smell. The magic power and fighting spirit of the Red Lancer were eroding the entire space.
On the other hand, Black Assassin completely restrained his aura and didn't seem to mind Red Lancer's sun-like aura at all.
Joan of Arc, who was watching from the sidelines, took a few steps back calmly, leaving the battlefield completely to the confronting red and black sides.
The raging flames seemed to be conveying the danger of the battlefield with heat, and the creatures' intuition was telling them that the distance here was too close.
A moment later, when Jeanne retreated to a safe place, the two servants began fighting, officially kicking off the "Holy Grail War".
The golden light and the black gold light shine at the same time.
The collision of the two divine spears stirred up a terrifying torrent of magical power.
The sparks dissipated, and the two divine spears swung away, which meant that the two were equally powerful. It also made the Red Lancer realize that this assassin might be very different from the assassin he knew - perhaps he was just given the job of assassin by chance.
The feet wrapped in golden foot armor stepped on the smooth asphalt, leaving spider-web-like cracks, and the Red Lancer easily eliminated the force of the collision.
Then, without a second’s delay, a barrage of fierce gunfire followed like a golden wall.
The biggest advantage of a spearman is distance, and the Red Lancer has taken this advantage to the extreme. The length of the magic spear he holds is extremely terrifying, and the tip of the spear alone is more than one meter long.
What is even more terrifying is the Red Lancer's attainments in spearmanship.
Long weapons can have an advantage in distance, but conversely, after a thrust, the operation of retracting the spear will cause a slight loss of time.
However, Red Lancer used his skills and control of the gun to shorten the gap to the same level as Shinji, or even slightly shorter.
You know, the length of Shinji's spear is only two-thirds of that of Crimson Lancer - this performance is enough to show that Crimson Lancer's spearmanship has reached the divine realm and can compete head-on with Scathach.
Although Shinji is quite powerful, he is still a long way from reaching the pinnacle of martial arts. At the beginning, he can still support himself with attributes that are not inferior to those of the Red Lancer.
After a few rounds, Red Lancer gradually became familiar with the rhythm of the battle, and Shinji's situation immediately took a turn for the worse.
In the tenth round, the tip of the Red Lancer's golden spear swept across Shinji's waist and abdomen, causing a string of blood, and Shinji was injured.
In the fifteenth round, the golden spear caused a violent spin when it was thrust out.
The combination of B-rank strength, the amazing length of the golden spear, and the divine skills of the Red Lancer produced an unimaginable combined effect. The terrifying and tricky force directly shook open Shinji's mouth and lifted the black-gold spear into the air.
The golden spear continued to move forward, piercing Shinji's heart at an astonishing speed.
If you are an enemy, kill you without mercy!
PS: Da Gou is a master of marksmanship, but he admits that he is not as good as Xiao Taiyang. As for Shinji now, he is still a long way from being first-rate in terms of skills, and being able to last more than a dozen rounds is already his limit.
