"Hmm..."
Gold watched the death battle between Black Saber and Red Lancer with gnashing teeth. He could not find an opportunity to use magic, and the opponent's master did not seem to be here.
But what he was most dissatisfied with was that Black Saber could not win. The brave Siegfried was undoubtedly the strongest Saber. He was a great hero who was not afraid of any attack below B rank.
Who would have thought that Saber like that would still be unable to completely defend against the Red Lancer's attack.
No, we have to find a way—
Gold wiped the sweat from his forehead, first looked at the ruler who was standing upright, and then looked at the assassin who was sitting next to the ruler in an imageless manner.
Finally, he chose to speak to Ruler: "Ruler, I am Gold Mujik Thousand Worlds Tree. I am the Master of Saber Black in this Holy Grail War."
"Ruler, my real name is Jeanne d'Arc." Joan of Arc responded with a clear voice and meticulous manner.
"Oh, it's the famous Joan of Arc. I'm so sorry. Merciful and just Saint, please follow the rules of the Holy Grail War and punish those who break the rules and attempt to murder you."
Gold asked humbly. In his opinion, it was extremely foolish for the Black Assassin to face the Red Lancer alone. He was really stupid not to make good use of the privileged Ruler.
Of course, Ruler should accept this proposal. No, anyone with a bit of brains would not refuse it - Gold was so sure.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Ruler cast a sharp glance at Gold.
"I refuse!"
"Eh?"
Before Gold could react, Shinji suddenly stood up from the ground and slapped him on the forehead.
"Come on, Fatty, stop wasting time. If Ruler was willing to help, I wouldn't have fought with Red Lancer for so long. I'm not as stupid as you think."
This answer was so beyond Gold's expectations that he ignored Shinji's "disrespectful" behavior.
"Why? Red Lancer wants to kill her."
"She believes that she is absolutely neutral and should not have any impact on the Red and Black sides. The Red Lancer is only targeting her and has nothing to do with the Black side, so she will not join forces with us to harm the Red side. Even if she wants to do something, she will probably wait until the battle with us is over."
"That's right. I will gamble on my dignity as a summoned ruler and will never interfere in their fight." Jeanne said firmly.
Hearing this answer, Gold grumbled. He couldn't understand the values of this ruler at all. Someone wanted to harm him, but he had to wait until the battle was over
"I thought I'd at least get the real name of Red Lancer—"
"You don't need to ask the ruler. I can tell you."
"Eh? What is that?"
"Karna, the top hero in ancient Indian mythology."
There was a hint of sarcasm at the corner of Shinji's mouth, and the look he gave Gold became contemptuous.
"Karna, the Red Lancer is Karna? How is this possible?" Gold's self-confidence was greatly shaken, and his face was full of disbelief.
"It's not impossible! Your Saber is indeed very strong, and invincible during his active era, but among Heroic Spirits, he is only at the top, far from being invincible. At least Karna is not worse than him, and may even be stronger."
Gold opened his mouth wide, wanting to speak, but he didn't know what to say. After a long while, he uttered dryly: "Have you guessed Saber's real name?"
"Of course, Saber has the same distinctive features as Karna, and is also very well-known."
Having said this, Shinji deliberately lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear.
"Your Western appearance and great sword, your superhuman swordsmanship, your dragon attributes, your toughness in withstanding Karna's fierce gunfire with only minor injuries, and your reluctance to reveal your real name, the answer is obvious, Nordic - do you want me to continue?"
"No, thanks." Gold shook his head. His ever-increasing self-confidence had been shattered to pieces, and he was like a deflated ball.
"Then let's continue talking about this battle. Saber gained a nearly invincible body after completing that great feat, which is why he dared to trade injuries for distance. There is a similar legend about Karna. It is said that his father Surya gave him golden armor and earrings to protect him. The one he is wearing is said to be difficult for even the gods to destroy. Karna wearing golden armor is equivalent to immortality, and his death was also because Indra cheated him of his golden armor. The term immortality may be a bit exaggerated, but according to my previous test, the golden armor can reduce all kinds of damage to only one-fifth, no, one-tenth, so I said that I can't kill him today."
Noble Phantasm: Sun Disc, transformed into armor (kavacha & kundala), Rank A.
A powerful defensive treasure that integrates with Karna's body and emits the light of the sun. It can reduce all hostile interference (physical attacks, magic, curses, etc.) to only one tenth of the damage Karna suffers. Even if it is injured in normal battle, it can recover through the self-healing function, and even if it is hit by an A+-level anti-military treasure, it will not affect its actions.
After hearing the information revealed by Shinji, Gold had completely given up the idea of letting Siegfried kill Karna. Only suffering one-tenth of the damage, this is too shameless, in a way, it is even more shameless than the "Dragon Blood Armor", after all, the Blood Armor has a fatal weakness, and the Golden Armor does not.
The Magic Association is the Magic Association after all. Even if there are only a few days, they can still achieve this level.
"Assassin, can you find the Master of the Red Lancer?"
"I didn't find him. If I had, I would have killed him without you telling me. I guess he either didn't come, or he retreated immediately after discovering the existence of Black Saber."
This was only said to Gold. Shinji had no intention of looking for Karna's master. He was sure that Karna acted alone.
"So, Fatty, what are you going to do? Continue a battle here that is unlikely to produce a conclusion, or stop here and escort Ruler to retreat?"
I-
I-
I-
Even though two Servants were fighting, he, as the Master, could do nothing - he could only feel his spinal cord frozen by the strange pressure from the two Servants. He felt anxious about being so stupid.
This feeling of powerlessness evoked the long-lost shame and guilt in Gold's heart.
It was like this again, with that look in his eyes, just like the arrogance of those high-ranking nobles in the Magic Association.
Black Saber, Red Lancer, and even Ruler didn't even look at me. The only Assassin who was willing to talk was also sarcastic and had no sense of being a Servant!
I have to do something.
I must have the power to do something
Yes, that kind of power is in your hands.
Gold looked at the back of his right hand. There, there was indeed proof of being a Master. The bond between Master and Servant, engraved with a huge amount of magic power - the Command Seal.
That's right. As long as you use this Command Spell, you can easily control that Servant. Servants are not heroes, they are just puppets in the end, and you must never forget this.
Letting the Servant fight while he stands aside and watches is intolerable. As the Master, shouldn't he use his magic and calm judgment to lead this battle to victory
The change in Gold's expression did not escape Shinji's eyes, and he felt an urge to use the Idiot Correction Palm.
"This fellow still doesn't have a correct understanding of the Holy Grail War and the Master-Servant Contract. Whenever he encounters difficulties, he wants to use the Command Seals. He must be taught a lesson!"
