A certain crossover anime's nuclear-powered sword immortal

Shirou was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then realized that Saber was referring to himself.

"The weak..."

Chapter Nineteen: The First Clash of Guns and Swords

Seeing Shirou muttering to himself like that, Saber felt a strange sensation.

Because this boy gave her a very strange feeling; there was a kind of look in his eyes that a child of that age should never have.

Just then, Karna slammed the bottom of his golden spear into the ground with a sharp sound, attracting the attention of Irisviel and Saber.

"I can't let you disrespect my Master like this."

Karna's smile vanished, his expression turning cold. The golden spear, nearly two people tall, twirled in his hand with dazzling speed before its chilling tip pointed at Saber ahead.

Upon seeing the nearly two-meter-tall golden spear in Karna's hand, Saber immediately knew his class without even having to guess.

"You're using a gun, so it looks like you're Lancer, right?"

"Yes."

Karna did not deny it, and nodded.

After all, there's no need to hide class rank.

"In that case, I will also tell you my rank."

As she said this, a magical wind arose around Saber, and her black suit instantly disappeared, replaced by blue and white armor.

In her hand, she appeared to be holding a weapon, but it was concealed by something.

got up.

"Strange, an invisible weapon?"

Even Karna found the strange method somewhat novel.

Saber saw Karna's expression and immediately revealed a triumphant smile.

"Even so, you probably still can't tell my class, right? But since you've already stated your class, then as a knight, I don't need to hide it either. My class is Saber!"

As she said this, Saber turned her gaze to Shirou, who was standing not far behind Karna.

"I'm so sorry, I just wanted you to know my chivalry, I didn't mean to belittle you."

"It's nothing, I didn't take it to heart."

Shirou gently shook his head and answered with a smile.

In this world, probably no one but him understands Saber better than he does.

However, it's impossible to say such a thing out loud.

While Shirou was thinking about these things, a tense atmosphere was brewing between Saber and Lancer, as if a battle was about to break out at any moment.

“Show me your power, Lancer.”

Shirou noticed Karna's eagerness and spoke to him.

"As you wish, my Master."

Karna smiled and nodded, then flipped his golden spear, pointing the tip, which gleamed coldly, toward Saber.

—The battle has begun.

The moon, which had been shining brightly on the city, was suddenly covered by dark clouds, making the world even darker.

However, Saber and Lancer, who were engaged in a fierce battle, did not seem to be affected by such trivial matters at all.

However, Shirou was affected; he felt as if he had gone blind and quickly mobilized his magic to make his vision brighter.

Clang!

The golden spear tip clashed briefly with the sword, producing a clear, resonant sound that momentarily illuminated the surrounding darkness.

As the clashes continued, more and more sparks flew, making the scene, which had been somewhat dark because the moon was hidden in the clouds, flicker between light and shadow.

Neither side's attacks felt fancy or elaborate. Both Saber and Lancer attacked with absolute precision and without any frills.

A battle is a fight between people who are capable of delivering a fatal blow to each other.

No matter how great the difference in strength, as long as there is a way to defeat the opponent, that is called a battle.

After another exchange, Lancer took a few steps back, then flipped his golden spear and turned to strike again!

This sudden attack caught Saber almost off guard, but Lancer's prediction was slightly off because he didn't have specific information about her 'sword'.

Clang!

Saber swung her 'sword' and deflected Lancer's attack.

"They concealed their weapons... I must say, that's a brilliant tactic."

Karna couldn't help but praise.

Saber smiled.

It seems that the power of the 'Wind King Barrier' has been very effective.

Even Lancer was at a loss because he couldn't measure the shape and length of his weapon.

However, even so, Karna's combat abilities are still beyond Saber's capabilities.

Clang!

After another clash of weapons, sparks flew as both sides retreated a distance, scrutinizing each other and preparing for the next attack.

"You are a formidable opponent. You must have been a renowned figure on the battlefield during your lifetime."

Saber felt her body trembling slightly with excitement at encountering a formidable enemy, and couldn't help but exclaim in praise.

"Is that how you feel...? Since you have such an opinion of me, then I will naturally not let you down. I will fight you with all my might."

Karna answered with a smile, while spinning the "Undying Blade" in his hand. The sharp blade cut through the air with a sound, and a golden stream of light rushed towards Saber in an instant!

Whoosh!

"Well done!"

Saber confidently met the attack with her "invisible sword," the spear tip piercing the air as it clashed with the invisible longsword, releasing a deafening, clear ringing sound in an instant.

Clang!

That attack was unusually swift. Saber felt her arm go numb and almost lost her grip on the sword. She also involuntarily took several steps back.

Seeing Saber being repelled by Lancer, Irisviel called out with some concern.

"How are you, Saber!?"

Chapter Twenty: All eyes are on me, I have something to announce.

Upon hearing Irisviel's concerned inquiry, Saber gently shook her head.

"I'm fine, Irisviel."

Saber, having regained her stance, looked at Lancer with a sharp gaze. After what had just happened, she was no longer proud of the slight advantage she had gained with the "Wind King's Barrier".

Saber became extremely vigilant, keeping a close eye on Lancer's every move without the slightest lapse in attention.

She now understood that if she remained arrogant as before, the next attack would likely determine the victor.

Saber was only able to fight to a draw because her opponent was unaware that her sword was hidden by the "Wind King Barrier." She couldn't imagine how the situation would change once her sword was exposed.

Even if she could unleash her Noble Phantasm, it would be extremely unwise to use it before the other Servants have appeared. Not only would her identity be exposed, but the information about the Noble Phantasm she possesses would also be completely revealed to everyone.

Finally, in situations of information asymmetry, other Servants can easily target her.

Thinking of this, Saber gripped her sword even tighter.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened.

The boy standing behind Lancer, with a smile that made Saber uneasy, suddenly spoke.

"Lancer, Saber's true name is Artoria Pendragon, King Arthur of Britain! The true name of the Noble Phantasm she wields is 'Excalibur'!"

Shirou's words were like adding insult to injury for Saber, who was already at a disadvantage.

"You actually...!?"

Not far behind Saber, Irisviel was stunned when she heard Shirou so easily reveal all of Saber's information, including the crucial information such as the true name of her Noble Phantasm.

This is really weird!

Despite having only met twice, the red-haired boy spoke as if he had seen Saber from the time of King Arthur, reciting every single detail about her.

"Oops……"

Irisviel couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Having heard Shirou's words and seeing Irisviel and Saber's expressions, Karna could immediately tell the truth of the information and smiled.

"Now that I know all this, do you think you can still withstand my onslaught, Saber?"

Saber gritted her teeth, gripped her sword tightly with some difficulty, and looked at Shirou behind Lancer with a shocked gaze.

"How do you know this information about me...?"

290538713

It's understandable that the Holy Sword could see through the "Wind King Barrier" and hide the Holy Sword, but how did the other party manage to see through my identity?

Saber already knew when she was summoned that, in the minds of later generations, the legendary King Arthur was a man. Although she was somewhat annoyed, she believed that no one would be able to tell her true identity since she was now in a female form.

Is it a magic trick that can see through the disguise, or did they already know her information in advance through some means?

Regardless, now that Shirou has revealed all of Saber's information, Saber herself, Irisviel, and even Kiritsugu Emiya, who is observing the battlefield from a distant high-rise building with a sniper rifle, and Maiya Hisau, all broke out in a cold sweat because of Shirou's words.

"Why... do you know all this..."

"You must be thinking right now that I obtained your information through some means, right?"

Shirou's words carried a confidence that suggested he had foreseen everything, which reminded Saber of Merlin, the kingdom's personal magician.

"Stop wasting any more time, Lancer, take care of her!"

"I will surely bring you victory, Master!"
