"Thank you so much."
Saber shifts into a battle stance, an invisible wind wraps around the sword, concealing it, and the weapon is aimed at Lancer.
"Enchanting magic?"
Saber's gaze into the other person's eyes instantly evokes a sense of goodwill.
"I'm sorry, it's like a curse I was born with, and I really can't do anything about it. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame my birth or being a woman."
Saber said, "You don't think that your appearance can affect my sword speed, do you? But in terms of appearance, my Master is far superior to you."
Upon hearing Saber's words, Lu Li couldn't help but give Saber a big thumbs up.
Upon hearing this, Lancer took a closer look at Lu Li. Indeed, in terms of appearance, the other party's Master was superior to hers.
"That's good. It would be really boring if I were to be affected. If I were to kill a woman I've charmed, it would make me lose face. I'm glad my first opponent is a decent guy."

"Oh? You want a fair fight? I would be honored to encounter a heroic spirit with a sense of honor."
"Then... come on!"
Saber rushed over quickly.
The two men clashed, and although it looked very simple and unadorned, the concrete ground beneath their feet shattered with every blow. This was a dock where heavy cargo containers were loaded, and the ground was very hard, which showed how powerful the impact was.
Kiritsugu Emiya and Maiya Hisau stood together on a shelf in the distance.
Kiritsugu Emiya said, "It's started, but someone has set up a barrier here. It's probably Lancer's Master."
.. .... 0
Looking at the gantry crane in the distance, Hisayu Maiya said, "From up there, you can have a complete view of the battlefield."
"Indeed, that's the best surveillance location; everyone would agree."
"Kiritsugu, what's our plan this time?"
"The plan remains unchanged. The main objective is still to kill Saber's Master. Tokiomi Tohsaka's alliance with Saber's Master is an absolute threat."
"Now that Assassin has been killed, if Lancer also dies, then this Holy Grail War can be brought to an end ahead of schedule."
"clear."
Hisayu Mai nodded.
"Actually, if I could, I would like to kill Tokimitsu Tohsaka, but he has never shown up. I don't know what he is planning in secret. I even suspect that this boy was pushed out by Tokimitsu Tohsaka to die on purpose, so that he could reap the rewards later."
“But we can’t think about that now. Maiya, you go around to the east side of the dock, and I’ll go to the west side. Let’s find a place where we can monitor Saber and her Master at the same time, and also see that gantry crane.”
"understood."
Lu Li stood not far away watching the battle between Saber and Lancer, while his Observation Haki, which he had activated long ago, had already detected all the surrounding conditions.
"There are quite a lot of spectators tonight. Should we take them all out?" Xiao said.
Chapter 157 Saber vs. Lancer
With his strength, he could easily deal with both Servants and Masters.
"Forget it, if we really do that, Saber will get angry, and who knows how long it will take to coax her. Girls like Saber are not easy to coax!"
boom----! !
Saber was currently chasing Lancer. Over the past six months, Saber had been working hard to train and learn, and her swordsmanship had improved significantly.
"Wow, Saber! I'm so excited! This is the first time I've ever seen such a skilled swordsman."
"That's because you're ignorant. I've seen countless sword masters whose skills far surpass mine."
"You are too modest."
Lancer didn't believe it at all, thinking it was just Saber's humble statement about "240".
Little did they know that Saber had drawn this conclusion after witnessing the battle between the Sword King and Lu Li, and after learning that many worlds had powerful swordsmen.
In this world, her swordsmanship may be good, but in the vast universe, her swordsmanship is nothing special.
Emiya Kiritsugu looked at Lancer and Saber fighting below through the scope, then turned the scope on Lu Li.
As a seasoned assassin, once he pulls the trigger, his opponent will have no chance of escape.
However, he was hesitant. If he pulled the trigger, he would immediately reveal his location, which would likely lead to attacks from other magicians or Masters.
"Should we attack now?"
If you miss such a great opportunity, it will be difficult to find another one like it next time.
"Forget it, the Holy Grail War has only just begun. Caster, Archer, Rider, and their Masters haven't appeared yet. If they're exposed so early, it'll cause a lot of trouble later."
Kiritsugu Emiya moved the scope away.
Lu Li raised an eyebrow. Oh? No attack? That's a bit of a shame. He was all prepared to go on a killing spree.
After all, if she gets attacked, Saber won't have any reason to stop herself, right?
Kiritsugu Emiya had no idea that it was his own caution that saved his life.
Kiritsugu Emiya aimed his scope elsewhere and spotted a figure: "Maiya, northeast of Saber and the others, Lancer's Master is standing on the roof of the warehouse. Can you see him?"
"No, my position is a blind spot."
"Then let's leave him alone for now and keep an eye on Saber's Master, and stand by for the time being."
At that moment, Kiritsugu Emiya sensed something.
Looking behind me, I saw a figure appear on the gantry crane through the scope.
"Assassin?!"
Wasn't Assassin dead? The entire process was clearly recorded in the video, so why is he still alive?
"There's something strange going on in the warehouse district at the mouth of the Weiyuan River; it's Saber and Lancer fighting."
Kirei Kotomine reports to Tosaka Tokichi.
"Oh my! This is really unexpected. Although I knew that Lu Li would not hide himself, it is still quite surprising that he is so swaggering."
From the moment Lu Li and Saber left this morning, he had Kirei Kotomine send Assassins to follow them, and thus learned of Lu Li and Saber's whereabouts throughout the day.
"It looks like the initial battle has begun."
"It can't be called the first; on the surface, it looks like the second war."
"Can you read a Servant's status through an Assassin's eyes?"
“No problem, Saber’s stats are very high, most of her parameters are equivalent to A-rank, or even close to S-rank.”
"I see. As expected of the strongest class, I almost regret giving Saber's relics to Lu Li."
"However, teacher, isn't that boy named Lu Li afraid of being targeted by other Masters and Servants for appearing so openly? They already know that you have allied with him."
Kirei Kotomine was somewhat puzzled. As a Master, it was best not to reveal one's location, since doing so would make one vulnerable to being targeted.
"This is what they call 'a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger,' but I prefer to call it confidence in one's own abilities..."
"However, if the other party has really been killed, that would save us trouble. Haven't you found any other Masters or Servants?"
"No."
Yuanban Shichen said calmly, "The Einzbern family is quite patient. I deliberately had you steal that relic to provoke conflict between the Einzbern family and them. That way, no matter which side is eliminated, it will be an advantageous option for us."
"Let's keep an eye on it. Whether we can get more information about that boy Lu Li or Lancer is eliminated, it's good for us to take down one more person."
"Yes!"
Hisayuu Maiya said, "I saw it too, but why is Assassin, who was already dead,..."
"It seems that the battle was not a reckless action. I originally thought that the previous operation was an assassination attempt against Tokiomichi Tohsaka, but it just happened to run into Saber and her Master, and she was killed unexpectedly."
"It now seems that this was premeditated, and they wanted to use this opportunity to retreat behind the scenes and watch us kill each other."
“Since an unexpected troublemaker has appeared, we can’t carry out the original plan. You continue to keep an eye on Assassin, and I will monitor Saber’s Master.”
Hisayuu Maiya 3.8 suggested, "I'll attack Assassin to draw attention, and you can take the opportunity to kill Saber's Master, how about that?"
It would be a shame to miss such a great opportunity.
Kiritsugu Emiya immediately rejected the suggestion: "No, Maiya, no matter how weak an Assassin is, they are still a Servant. We are not ready to fight against Servants."
"On the other hand, we are still unclear about Saber's Master's strength. His swaggering appearance must be due to something he's relying on, perhaps he has magical protection. We'd better find out more information."
"It would be best if Lancer's Master and Saber's Master fought each other, or if Assassin fought Saber's Master. That way we would have a chance."
"I see.".
Chapter 158 Saber's First Kiss
The battle between Saber and Lancer is raging.
Clang——!
The two exchanged a blow head-on, then stepped back.
"Although there is no honor in a battle where you don't share your name, I still have to commend you."
"Such powerful swordsmanship, and she hasn't broken a sweat yet. She's truly a woman who is just as capable as any man."
Lancer praised Saber highly, clearly impressed by her swordsmanship.
"No need to be modest, Lancer. Although I don't know your name, you deserve praise for your marksmanship."
Suddenly, a voice sounded.
"Let's stop the game here, Lancer. Don't let the battle drag on any longer. That Saber is a formidable enemy. Take her down quickly, and I'll allow you to unleash your Noble Phantasm."
"Understood, my lord."
As Lancer spoke, he threw away the pistol in his hand.
He gripped the spear tightly with both hands, and the black cloth wrapped around it dissipated, revealing the blood-red shaft.
"You heard that too, Saber. I'm going to take your head next. Are you going to continue using the gathered wind magic to hide your sword?"
Saber remained silent, but her attitude suggested she wasn't planning to use it.
"I see. So you have a reason for hiding your sword. It seems your true name can be discerned through your sword."
03 "I'm sorry, Lancer, you will never know the true nature of my Noble Phantasm. I will decide the victor before it is revealed."
"That's not necessarily true. I'll go and uncover the true nature of the invisible sword right now, Saber."
After Lancer finished speaking, he rushed towards Saber and thrust his spear at her.
Clang!
The two weapons clashed together.
The Wind King's Barrier wrapped around Saber's sword was partially broken.
This startled Saber, who quickly retreated.
"Your hidden sword has been exposed!"
Lancer pressed his advantage, this time not to attack Saber, but to break the sword's barrier and reveal its true nature.
Saber didn't want anyone to see through her secret, and for a moment she found herself in a passive position.
“I can now clearly see the length of your sword, so I won’t be misled by the invisible attack range.”
Saber frowned. Although the length of his sword had been detected, it was no big deal. His swordsmanship was superior to his opponent's spear skills, so he had no need to panic.
"Oh? You calmed down so quickly, as expected of Saber. But have you thought of a way to deal with me?"
"No need to think, I'm stronger than you, all I need to do is take you down."
"Hahahaha! You're right! I admit that you're better than me in terms of overall qualities. Although it's embarrassing for a man to admit that he's not as good as a woman, that's the truth. However, the existence of Noble Phantasms is precisely to bridge this gap."
After Lancer finished speaking, he thrust his spear at Saber. Saber also rushed towards him without hesitation. Her intuition had already told her that Lancer would stab her in the waist. As long as she moved slightly, Lancer's spear would be deflected by her armor, and she would be able to kill him with a single sword strike.
Pfft—!
Everything was proceeding as Saber had planned, but suddenly, she felt a spear pierce her waist. Her armor had not blocked the attack as she had expected, and the pain made her quickly dodge.
