Use FGO to open the second dimension

The beautiful woman in men's clothing, whom Koizumi suspected was King Arthur, stood slightly in front of the silver-haired woman, looking wary.

"Ellie, this feels strange. I can't sense Lancer, who challenged us to a fight earlier."

"That El-Melloi over there, is she the Saber you're waiting for? And Ritsuka and Mashu, do you think this Saber looks familiar? I seem to have seen her before ten years ago, although her posture was a little different..."

Koizumi glanced at the beautiful woman in men's clothing before him, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly as he slowly complained.

Ritsuka and Mashu couldn't help but wipe the non-existent cold sweat from their foreheads, smiled awkwardly, and didn't say much.

They all knew what Koizumi meant. Koizumi was actually referring to the evil Saber from Fuyuki City ten years later...

Of course, El-Melloi II didn't know what happened to Koizumi and the others in Fuyuki City ten years later. However, after hearing Koizumi's question, El-Melloi II nodded slowly and glanced at the other party.

"Yes, she is the Saber I have been waiting for. She is one of the seven heroic spirits in the Fourth Holy Grail War. She is King Arthur who appeared as Saber. Her real name is Artoria Pendragon."

El-Melloi II's words made Koizumi give a look of "As expected."

After all, the appearance has not changed at all. Although the posture is slightly different, the appearance has not changed at all.

Only someone with face blindness would fail to recognize the other person, but Koizumi isn't one of them.

Thinking of this, Koizumi sneered and said nothing more, but just glanced at Saber in front of him.

It turns out that King Arthur's real name is Artoria Pendragon. Koizumi couldn't help but show a look of understanding on his face.

After hearing what El-Melloi II said, a look of surprise appeared on Altria's face.

"Wha...why do you know my real name!?"

After all, in the Holy Grail War, the Servants' true names were kept absolutely secret. Exposing them casually would put them in danger of defeat. But now, his true name had been revealed to a completely unknown being. It was really...

"He's not an ordinary person. Look, he's a man but he has long hair. Be careful, Saber!"

Irisviel looked at Koizumi and the others with increasing vigilance, which made Koizumi feel helpless.

Actually, you just want to lead the topic to a fighting situation... In fact, there is no need to use this tone to convince the other party.

"Instead, I think you're being overly suspicious. We just want to stop you from fighting Lancer tonight!"

From the few words El-Melloi II said earlier, Koizumi had roughly guessed what El-Melloi II was thinking.

Furthermore, Koizumi truly felt that the other party's suspicion was unnecessary. If he and his men wanted to take him down, they had three Servants here. How could they possibly lose against three against one? Especially with the other party's true name exposed?

Moreover, Mashu has the experience of fighting against King Arthur, and has experienced the opponent's holy sword.

"What do you mean? Didn't you send Lancer to lure us? He should be hiding somewhere right now, ready to launch a surprise attack at any moment..." Irisviel had no intention of trusting Koizumi at all, and was extremely wary instead.

Koizumi curled his lips. "You think Lancer is Assassin? Why resort to assassination tactics when you won't let him fight head-on?"

"Don't overthink it. We have three Servants. How can we lose in a three-on-one situation? You think too highly of yourself to let a Lancer use Assassin's methods to launch a sneak attack. Furthermore, Lancer's aura is spreading in all directions. There must be more than one Heroic Spirit targeting this place... Even with so many Heroic Spirits targeting us, we still exposed four Heroic Spirits. Do I think I'm an idiot?"

Koizumi looked at Irisviel speechlessly, and the reason he gave left Irisviel speechless.

Altria frowned, feeling very uncomfortable with Koizumi's tone just now.

What does it mean to think too highly of oneself? Does he mean that he is not worth mentioning at all?

Subconsciously, the girl tightly gripped the hilt of the holy sword in her hand. A hint of fierce fighting spirit made Konpaku Youmu immediately alert. It was obvious that the other party did not seem to intend to stop there.

"Saber..." Irisviel looked at Artoria with a worried look on her face. It was obvious that she also noticed that something was wrong with Artoria, so it was inevitable that she would be worried about her condition. What's more, the relationship between the two was not an ordinary master-servant relationship.

Irisviel is also a rare Master who treats her Servants as friends.

"Looks like we have to fight..." Koizumi said helplessly, covering his forehead with his hands.

Ritsuka slowly stepped forward and stood side by side with Koizumi, looking at each other with a questioning look in his eyes.

"Do you need Mashu to come with you?" Ritsuka couldn't help but ask, and even Mashu looked at her.

"Don't worry, just leave it to Youmu. She has the two-sword style swordsmanship that even the swordsman Miyamoto Musashi praised highly! You and Mashu can just be in charge of guarding the surroundings!" Koizumi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a hint of confidence.

Koizumi wasn't lying. Konpaku Youmu's combat prowess was undoubtedly trustworthy. Koizumi had personally experienced this. Although blessed by the Holy Grail, there was no doubt that Ruler Reimu was at a disadvantage against Youmu. Even without the Holy Grail's blessing, Konpaku Youmu definitely possessed the combat prowess of a first-rate Heroic Spirit.

However, due to her limited attack method, she might be able to gain the upper hand in pure close combat. However, if she faced King Arthur's light cannon, perhaps... she would be devoured by the light cannon...

Chapter 442 Youmu and King Arthur

After receiving Koizumi's order, Konpaku Youmu stepped forward without hesitation, ready for battle.

A stern look appeared on Youmu's face, and she disappeared in the blink of an eye, which made Artoria stunned. The next moment, Youmu appeared in front of Artoria, and the Bailou sword slashed towards the other's neck.

Altria was startled and subconsciously retreated backwards while swinging the [Invisible Sword] in her hand towards Youmu. The moment of the swing stirred the air, as if carrying heavy pressure towards Youmu.

If this attack hits the opponent head-on, there is no doubt that Youmu's petite body will be cut in half.

Youmu didn't hesitate at all, and blocked the [Invisible Sword] with another sword - Louguan Sword.

The air waves swept around, and the damage caused by the collision between the two was undoubtedly extremely terrible.

Irisviel quickly retreated to the rear with a look of shock on her face. Even she could see that Artoria was a little embarrassed when facing the opponent's attack, and was obviously at a disadvantage.

A look of surprise appeared on Altria's face. This petite-looking girl was so skilled in swordsmanship. Even her own swordsmanship was at a disadvantage when it came to a pure contest of skills with the other party.

King Arthur's swordsmanship may not be considered advanced. After all, there are people in the Knights of the Round Table who are stronger than King Arthur.

Lancelot, for example, was undoubtedly the most outstanding warrior in King Arthur's time in terms of pure skill.

However, the [Invisible Sword] in Altria's hand made Konpaku Youmu feel heavy in his heart.

He knew that the opponent was Saber, but he didn't know how long the opponent's sword was, so he could only test it out during the battle. Otherwise, he might have a headache because he was always worried about the opponent's [Invisible Sword].

The swords clashed with each other, and feeling the airflow of the [Invisible Sword] passing by, the corners of Konpaku Youmu's mouth rose slightly.

With her head slightly tilted to the side, Youmeng was almost brushed against her cheek by the [Invisible Sword]. She stepped back slightly, a look of understanding on her face. At the same time, the Bailou Sword and the Louguan Sword flashed with cold light, which made people feel palpitating.

"A Western sword about 93.3cm long and 12.3cm wide shouldn't fluctuate too much. I've seen through your sword - you use the wind wrapped around the sword and the refraction of light to hide your sword. It's more like magic than a treasure..." Youmu said slowly, with a serious look on his face.

Koizumi couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face. He hadn't expected Youmu to be so capable...

Koizumi was slightly surprised by the opponent's [Invisible Sword] just now. He didn't expect that Youmu would see through it.

I always feel that the girl seems to have changed a little since that singularity, but this is also a good thing.

"You actually saw through my sword, how did you do that!" Altria's face showed deep surprise.

The two swords in his hands swung slightly, and gusts of air began to stir wildly along with the swinging of the swords.

"As long as you feel the air flow caused by the sword swing and sense the changes in air density, you can roughly estimate it. This is my first time encountering an enemy like this, so my estimate may be a little inaccurate. However, before my grandfather left after his enlightenment, he taught me how to deal with various swordsmen, so he also taught me this kind of estimation method... My grandfather has advanced further in swordsmanship than I have, and has faced countless opponents with different sword skills. These are his experiences..."

An expression of deep respect suddenly appeared on Youmeng's face, and the fierce sword energy generated by the swinging of the two swords made people feel nervous.

"I see, he is truly an admirable swordsman..." Having said this, Artoria put away her sword.

Taking a slight step back, Artoria came to Irisviel's side, which made Irisviel confused.

"Saber, don't you want to continue fighting?" Irisviel looked at Artoria with a puzzled look.

Altria shook her head slightly, and the slight displeasure on her face disappeared.

"In terms of swordsmanship, the opponent is undoubtedly superior to me. However, the battle just now was not to determine the winner. I just wanted to understand him. Someone with such a clear fighting spirit and a pure swordsman's heart would not disdain to use such despicable means. The opponent should simply be trying to stop us from fighting Lancer, although I don't know why..."

Having said that, Altria glanced at Mashu beside her, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

"I didn't see clearly what I said just now, but now, that shield-like thing is... This aura is undoubtedly correct. If that's the case, then that girl wouldn't be..."

Thinking of this, a complex expression suddenly appeared on Altria's face, an indescribable feeling...

"...No, if she herself still doesn't know anything about this, then I shouldn't say anything..."

"What's wrong, Saber? You're looking at Mashu's shield like that. Could it be that you know the true name of Mashu's shield?"

Koizumi's tone was filled with doubt, but Ritsuka and Mashu became excited.

Mashu always wanted to know the true name of the heroic spirit attached to her, so that she could release the true name of the shield and help her predecessor.

The reason why Ritsuka was excited was similar. She also knew that Mashu had always been puzzled about the true name of the Heroic Spirit attached to her. If possible, the girl also hoped that Mashu could find the true name of the Heroic Spirit attached to her.

Altria shook her head silently, looked at Mashu in front of her, and slowly smiled.

"...No, it's nothing. But you're not bad people. It seems that way."

Anyone who could be recognized by that person could not possibly be a bad person, and only she could be sure of this.

Because she knew very well what kind of precious qualities that knight possessed. Among the entire Knights of the Round Table, only that knight found the Holy Grail he had been seeking and then returned it to heaven.

He is undoubtedly one of the rare "Saints" among the Knights of the Round Table!

After seeing the shield, Artoria, who was originally half-believing and half-doubting, now let down most of her guard against the other party. She just purely believed in that person's choice. Being able to be dependent on him means that the person has very valuable qualities in essence, and a master who can be recognized by this dependent person should not be a bad person.

Hearing this, Mashu's face couldn't help but blush, and she also realized that the other party was talking to her.

"...Ah, yes. I'm glad to hear you say that..."

Chapter 443: Diarmuid Odinah, Chief Spearman of the Fiona Knights

Artoria and Irisviel went back. It was obvious that Irisviel still trusted Artoria very much. Since Artoria had tested that Konpaku Youmu was not a servant who would do such a thing, it meant that the other party and Lancer were indeed not on the same side, so there was no need for Irisviel to worry about not fighting with Lancer.

What's more, Altria's identity has been exposed to them, so it would be better for her to leave now.

Seeing Irisviel and Artoria leave, Koizumi and the others felt relieved that they didn't waste too much time. Although they finally fought with Saber Artoria, it was only a tentative battle.

Youmu's clear swordsman's heart and clear fighting spirit were enough to make Artoria let down her guard.

After all, Konpaku Youmu's heart made Miyamoto Musashi marvel. Although King Arthur was not a pure swordsman, her attainments in swordsmanship were also quite good, so she could naturally feel this.

Although Koizumi's move does have a bit of stream of consciousness in it, it's really...

"I was right about him. He is indeed the Master praised so highly by that famous military strategist. If I were alone, I might not be able to make Saber and the others retreat so easily..." El-Melloi II couldn't help but praise.

Upon hearing this, Konpaku Youmu couldn't help but feel proud. To be praised so highly, Youmu was also very proud in her heart. After all, he was her master, although she and the other party were enemies during the second singularity.

But Youmu had actually already accepted her own Master's identity in her heart...

"I only wanted to avoid a fight. Even though we did fight in the end, I should be thankful that it didn't come to a fight to the death..." Koizumi couldn't help but pat his chest, feeling a little relieved.

Koizumi wasn't kidding. After all, he had witnessed King Arthur's light cannon attack with his own eyes.

That kind of specification is undoubtedly a city-killing Noble Phantasm. If Altria ignored the surrounding environment and released a holy sword light cannon of this level, there is no doubt that Konpaku Youmu would be directly eliminated by this move.

Konpaku Youmu's Life Two-Sword Style hasn't reached the point where she can easily unleash a beam cannon...

The highest specification is probably only enough to be a military Noble Phantasm... Koizumi speculates.

Koizumi wasn't joking, after all, he also possessed a sword technique called [Life Two-Sword Style].

Koizumi's lack of pride only made El-Melloi II admire him even more. However, he didn't say much. Instead, his expression became more serious, and his eyes looked in another direction.

"Okay, now is not the time to relax. Our real target now is the next guest who will arrive."

"What's next...?" Mashu showed a puzzled look on her face.

"I trapped the Servant who was supposed to challenge Saber in the Qimen Dunjia formation. Now it's almost..."

El-Melloi II's words made Koizumi's eyes flash with realization. No wonder he felt a sense of familiarity. After all, Koizumi had also experienced the Eight Diagrams Formation and was very familiar with the aura of this formation.

"Who are you? Were you responsible for that strange stone maze just now? What happened to Servant Saber?!"

As El-Melloi II expected, not long after he finished speaking, a loud shout suddenly came from inside.

Turning back, he saw a young man wearing a dark green tight combat uniform, holding two guns, one long and one short, one red and one yellow. His yellow-orange eyes on his handsome face stared angrily at Koizumi and the others.

By the way, there is a small black mole under his left eye, and the aura emanating from that black mole made Youmu frown.

But she didn't say much. Although the mole had a charming effect, it had no effect on her.

After all, as long as the magic power is high enough, this kind of black mole used for charm will have no effect at all...

"Fufu..." Fufu called softly, causing Koizumi to glance at her.

Is this thing really an intelligent creature? It's been following Mashu and the others around the whole time, even following them when their spirit particles transfer.

Forget it, I shouldn't think about these things now, I should just look at the enemy in front of me...

"Someone really is here!" Li Xiang couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise on his face.

"Be at peace, Chief Lancer of the Fianna Knights. We are no match for Archibald's camp."

El-Melloi II stepped forward slowly and spoke slowly.

Gu Quan didn't say anything. Zhuge Kongming was good at talking, so it was a good idea to let the other party come forward and lobby.

However, upon hearing the title of the Fianna Knights' Chief Lancer, Koizumi couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

If I remember correctly, the Knights of the Fianna were one of the most famous elite Irish warbands in Celtic mythology. Their story is told in the ancient epic poem "The Fenian Chronicles." Fianna warriors figure prominently in many of the stories of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.

When it comes to the chief lancer of the Fianna, it is undoubtedly the [Glorious Face] of Ireland, who is known as "unparalleled in the world", and his name is - Diarmuid Odinar.

But then again, in the legend of Diarmuid, he also has two magic swords, [Waves of Fury] and [Waves of Passion]. Compared to his spearmanship, his magic sword and swordsmanship are more well-known.
