Chapter 51 Artoria

Chapter 51

That was the tip of a spear, as sharp as lightning.

The tip of a gun fired to pierce the heart, being lightning, cannot be captured by the human eye.

However, the lightning bolt that was about to pierce through the human body was deflected.

With a clang, the echo of steel colliding and dazzling sparks flew out.

The short sword followed silently up to his neck, as if a gentle pull would be enough to subdue the beast and cut off his head!

The blue-clad spearman was forced back again, his body tumbling in the air with a graceful, gymnastic-like motion, about to land in a stylish pose.

Miss Rin curled her lip in disdain. She had just witnessed it not long ago, and now she was doing it again? Was this the only set of moves she knew?

The moment Lancer landed, for some reason, it felt like she had stepped on a banana peel, and her body suddenly slipped—

Fortunately, Cú Chulainn was a formidable figure among the spearmen, possessing exceptional agility. Just as he was about to slip, he cleverly altered his intended landing posture, performing a somersault instead.

He stood firmly in a different posture, with an expression that said it was his original plan and that what he had just done was just showing off his skills and a basic maneuver.

"This guy……"

Lancer scoffed, and after his probing attack was blocked, he did not make any further moves.

Although the Prince of Light of Ireland was eager to avenge his defeat by being forced back by a single sword strike, he could no longer ignore the later Pendragon duo.

Both sides have clashed, and Lancer is temporarily stuck in place, creating a three-way standoff.

"You're here to silence me too..."

"No, we're just Kamen Riders passing by. Please continue your performance."

Pendragon interrupted him, but Lady Rin completely ignored him.

Seeing that the girl was safe and sound, Rin Tohsaka seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, as if a weight had finally been lifted from her heart.

"I never imagined Pendragon was a magician. He was so good at hiding it that he even fooled me."

As Rin Tohsaka spoke, she shook her head slightly, seemingly reflecting on her mistake.

"Tohsaka... classmate???"

The girl stood up from the ground; her once clean and tidy school uniform was now covered in dust and bloodstains.

At this moment, her pair of holy green eyes looked around her own yard blankly, her gaze sweeping over Lancer and the red knight before settling on Miss Rin's slender and graceful body.

"In short, good evening, Pendragon."

"You called me? You called me twice!"

Rin Tohsaka's calm and elegant tone was something Pendragon had already witnessed during the day. As expected of a disguise with the reputation of being a "second personality," it was almost as if another person was in control of her body.

Pendragon was clearly not interested in that; instead, he was staring with gleaming eyes at the girl standing at the warehouse entrance, blocked behind by the Red Knight.

"who is she?"

"Ok?"

Pendragon's words made Rin Tohsaka turn around and look at her. The familiarity brought by the almost identical face was especially strong in front of the real person.

It was as if I had met a pair of twin sisters.

"Pendragon? That's a surname, isn't it?"

Therefore, the heroic spirit that you summoned and signed a contract with is most likely the ancestor of your classmate?

Fate is truly...

Miss Rin didn't know what to say. How could such a miraculous coincidence happen?

She glanced at Pendragon, then fixed her gaze on the blond Pendragon. For some reason, Rin Tohsaka had a feeling that she had been chosen.

If Pendragon were placed in a light novel, he probably wouldn't receive the standard protagonist treatment.

While silently criticizing the kendo club president, who was just as popular as herself at school, Rin was now even a little impatient to let her know that her ancestor had been summoned...

Wait a minute, something feels off about this. It's like we've dug up her family's ancestral graves. I feel inexplicably guilty!

Pendragon isn't expressionless; she's just completely bewildered right now.

First, he was chased down and killed for witnessing a monster, then he inexplicably came back to life and was chased by the monster again.

Immediately afterwards, another monster emerged from his warehouse, saying that he had signed a contract to protect him.

And now, a female classmate I'm quite close to has appeared, and...

The bewildered gaze fell on the last person in the courtyard. This person was also one of the monsters. For some reason, she was hiding behind Tohsaka, and her slightly shorter height was completely covered by Tohsaka, making people only notice the silver ahoge on her head!

Then, Pendragon saw the monster's face—

The bright green pupils contracted to their limit in an instant, clearly indicating that the owner of those beautiful eyes was emotionally shaken.

Despite the other person being dressed in neat and handsome men's clothing, wearing glasses, and resembling a charming young man who would make girls blush, Pendragon Artoria recognized him instantly—

That's my own face!

Although their hair and eye colors were completely different, and their temperaments were worlds apart, the face that Artoria knew so well, which she used to groom herself in front of the mirror every morning, was now on someone else.

What... exactly happened?

I have absolutely no idea what's going on.

Artoria only knew that her situation had become extremely dangerous, and her life was in danger!

The man who harbored murderous intent towards him and acted on it is still in the courtyard, confronting the knight who claims to be protecting him.

Holy crap, you can play like this?

Pendragon's ahoge twitched. Why does that shochu who summoned the nuclear-powered swordsman also have a Saber face?

The resemblance is striking; those guys who create these personas are really not putting in the effort.

However, this also shows that the charm of this face has reached the level of "appealing to everyone," with too many people willing to buy into it.

"What exactly happened? Is there anyone here who can explain the situation?"

Artoria's voice is somewhat different from Pendragon's; it sounds cool and aloof, similar to Saber's voice in the anime.

"I understand. Please allow me to clear out the enemies here first before explaining the situation to you, Master."

The red-clad knight addressed his master apologetically, then strode out of the warehouse and stood in the open courtyard, his aura and fighting spirit rising steadily.

The powerful magic even created a tangible whirlwind, causing the knight's white hair and long robes to flutter wildly.

P.S.: I fell asleep today too, but woke up early emmmmmmm. I received news that it will be available tomorrow, I'll post a launch message later.

Testimonials

emmmmmmmmm……

There's not much to say, really; it's just that the free chapters are coming to an end and they're about to start charging.

I would like to express my special thanks to the editors for their strong support. Even though the second volume of this book was poorly written with its references and jokes, they still gave it a very strong recommendation and made it available for purchase.

Of course, we should also thank the readers who voted for the book.

It is you who gave the author the motivation to continue writing, because of you, this book exists today!

It's now available! I hope everyone will continue to support it. At my current update speed, I probably won't even be able to spend all the tokens I get from daily check-ins, lol.

The author is quite busy. Every day, after getting home, cooking, preparing lunch for the next day, and taking a shower, it's usually past nine o'clock, then starting to write. The next morning, they wake up promptly at five, wash up, and rush to the market at six to buy groceries before heading to work…

Emmm, I'm just saying all this to make an excuse for earning 2k a day, so I can confidently ask for subscriptions lol. After all, imported natural cat food is so expensive these days. I write because I like it, and also to earn some money for cat food.

Okay, that's about it. Goodnight.

Remember to turn on auto-subscription, as tomorrow's update will probably be very late.

Chapter 52 You still say you're not Saber! (Please subscribe!)

Chapter 52

"You've maxed out your updraft skill, haven't you?"

Rin overheard Pendragon's muttered complaint, and before she could turn her gaze to him, Pendragon quickly changed the subject.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. We'll just continue to be bystanders, happily watching the show from the sidelines..."

It would be great if we had potato chips and cola.

"So that's how it is. Pendragon is a complete novice, just someone chosen to fill a spot in Dragon Ball."

Rin Tohsaka didn't know whether to be thankful or not, but at least she saved face. She hadn't forgotten about sticking a flag on herself this morning.

Without hesitation, the red knight chose Lancer, who had once threatened his master's life, as the echoing clang of steel reverberated throughout the courtyard.

Humans like Rin Tohsaka and Artoria couldn't see the Servants' movements at all; at most, they could only catch glimpses of red and blue afterimages left in the air.

The shattered earth, the torn grass, and the stones flying out one after another with terrifying whooshing sounds all testified to the intensity of the battle.

The scene looked grand, but in Pendragon's eyes, the two gay men in tight-fitting clothes were merely testing each other and were not using their full strength.

You should know that only wrestling is a man's romance!

When they start to grapple together, it means they've begun to go all out.

Laymen and experts alike watched the spectacle together; the fight was quite entertaining. The fighters were agile and nimble, their movements as graceful as gymnastics, thanks to their superhuman reflexes and balance.

In addition, both of them were wearing tight-fitting clothes that accentuated their abs, making them look very fit.

However, Pendragon was more interested in the little girl who looked just like him in the yard. He tugged at Rin Tohsaka's sleeve, who was watching with great interest, and pulled her closer to the blonde girl.

"Why are you pulling me? Look at you! Look at him! That's what a Servant should be like!"

The red knight, who fought Lancer to a standstill, seemed to have earned Rin Tohsaka's approval. A true battle is one where you go toe-to-toe, unlike her own servant who only knows how to eat.

--call out!

The sharp sound of a blade slicing through the air interrupted Miss Rin's tirade, and the chilling killing intent sent shivers down her spine, making her scalp tingle.

It was as if a sharp blade would decapitate her in the next instant, splattering blood five steps away!

The body was frozen. No, it was the powerful figure who, sensing the deadly crisis, overclocked, allowing their consciousness to briefly break free from the body's constraints—

Simply put, it sensed danger and reacted. However, compared to its overclocked consciousness, its mortal body, still bound by genetic limitations, was clearly not on the same wavelength and couldn't keep up with the consciousness.

"But that guy will definitely be able to react by now."

Lady Rin remained quite composed at the crucial moment. She wasn't afraid and chose to trust her Servant. She controlled her body and turned her head, wanting to see clearly what was attacking her and how the Assassin would neutralize it.

Because Rin Tohsaka firmly believed that she would never let anything happen to herself before she had her midnight snack.

What was shaved off was... a disc??

Oh, it's the sword that the red knight threw.

Although he was fighting Lancer, the two burly men were not going all out, but instead diverting some of their attention to Pendragon and Rin Tohsaka.

Upon realizing that Pendragon was about to approach his master, the Red Knight acted decisively, throwing away the weapons that were in the middle of the battle!

The sharp dagger swirled in the air, tracing a graceful arc, employing a strategy of attacking the enemy's master directly to force them to cease their actions.

"Ding!" "Bang!"

Two sounds rang out in succession: the echo of metal colliding with metal and the dull sound of magic exploding.

Turning around, Rin Tohsaka only saw a streak of dark red flash by before the red knight's short sword was knocked away, shattering into several pieces in mid-air before distorting the air and gradually disappearing.

As this interlude occurred, their battle ceased, and the dust gradually settled, revealing the figures of the two knights.

The grass was plowed open by the force of the air, leaving many large and small pits on the once flat ground. On this devastated land, which looked as if it had been bombarded by heavy artillery fire, the two men, dressed in matching red and blue tight-fitting outfits, struck cool poses...

"Ass...Assassin?"

Compared to the two Servants who were striking poses after just showing off their coolness, Rin Tohsaka's attention was clearly on Pendragon at this moment.

His gaze was fixed on her, or rather, his beautiful lake-green eyes were fixed intently on the sword in Pendragon's hand.

The dark red blade, representing darkness and chaos, exudes a...mysterious high-tech feel? It's not that the blade and the ancient, ornate hilt have a stylistic contrast—
