Fourth Night

"Let's go. Archer." Rin said as she together with Evander left the house.

She was planning on going over to Emiya residence both to check up on Sakura and to make plans for the future of the war.

Evander lifted Rin in a princess carry and jumped on top of a rooftop.

Rin wrapped her arms around Evander's neck as she calmly gazed at Fuyuki city below. "Now that I take a good look, this city really looks like a city." She said.

Evander almost accidentally missed a step and fell down. "Rin. I am amazed by your intelligence. Such deep and profound wisdom you have."

Rin of course didn't think anything was wrong with Evander's words. "Hmph, of course. Who do you think I am?" She puffed up her chest.

Evander just smiled. But his smile was short lived. His honed senses warned him of incoming danger.

*Clang!*

He swiftly projected Kanshou and parried a red spear heading towards his heart.

"Wha?!" Rin was surprised upon seeing an enemy servant appearing out of nowhere.

It wasn't easy for a servant to ambush another servant unless they were of Assassin class but their assailant was the Lancer.

He changed quite a bit though.

The previously barbed spear was full of spikes. His blue body armor had disappeared. By some sort of cause, the equipment all over his body has changed into a black and red color scheme. The upper part of his bodysuit is absent, leaving his chest exposed and revealing a unique tattoo design on his chest and abdomen. His shoes had very high heels. He wore a hood over his head.

But the most noticeable thing was the spiked tail on his back.

"Yo, Archer." Lancer grinned as he looked at Evander. "Miss me?"

"Rin." Kanshour and Bakuya appeared in Evander's hands. "Leave." He said with all seriousness.

Upon hearing the tone of his voice, Rin also realized that the opponent was nothing to scoff at. She had never seen Evander that serious against a foe before, so she took his words to heart.

With a reinforced kick, she left the area and headed towards their original destination.

Since they were partners for now, she could leave her safety in Saber's hands.

"You, what happened to you?" Evander asked as he looked at Lancer.

"Well, this and that happened but they are not that important. Our battle was unfinished, remember? Let's finish it now hehe." Lancer said as he crouched down like a beast about to pounce.

"If so, come." Evander said as he put up his swords before him.

Surrounding mana churned and the duo disappeared.

*Boom!*

Lancer's pounce broke through the sound barrier and clashed with the swords in Evander's hands.

Kanshou and Bakuya instantly broke and were repaired to parry another blow. He was forced on the defensive from onslaught of Lancer's blows.

'What's this?' Evander thought. Previously, Lancer was fast but nowhere as fast as now. His blows had power equal to Berserker's behind them.

His power was over 9000.

"Ugh." He failed to block a kick on time and was thrown far away.

"Heh! Is that all? Archer!" Lancer laughed and kicked the ground to chase after him.

In midair, Evander blocked another blow and tried to land a kick but it was blocked.

Lancer grabbed Evander's leg and threw him to another building.

*Boom!*

"Agh!" His head was dizzy but Evander had no time as he was forced to dodge a spear head towards his head.

He tilted his head to dodge the spear, and blocked a kick with his swords.

"I am the bone of my sword." Evander chanted as he continued dodging, blocking and parrying Lancer's blows.

*Clang!* *Clang!*

"Steel is my body and fire, is my blood." Five swords materialized in the air and shot towards Lancer, but they were ineffective.

Lancer's Protection From Arrows, gave him an immunity to projectiles. But Evander noticed that it wasn't as strong as it was before.

Meaning that arrows were more effective against Lancer now. The only thing he had to do was get some distance and play to his strength.

He was no match against Lancer in close quarters.

"Come on Archer! Show me something! This is getting boring!" Lancer taunted as he blocked all the attacks from Evander.

Lancer found a hole in Evander's defense and didn't miss him chance to land a blow on his shoulder.

"Arg!" Evan though he gave that opportunity to Lancer, having his shoulder pierced wasn't a pleasant feeling for Evander.

He grabbed the spear still piercing his shoulder and threw a kick at Lancer to force him away.

His kick landed, but Lancer was no beginner to battle either. He also landed a kick in the abdomen of Evander while twisting his spear before pulling back.

Both of them were thrown back. Evander pushed the ground with his hands while he was flying away and jumped on top of a rooftop with Belthronding in his hand.

He took a few potshots that were easily deflected and backed away.

Then another weapon took shape in his hand. It was a pitch-black weapon with a few small edges coiling around the thin core, spiraling around it and somewhat curving outward.

Hrunting, one of the weapons in his arsenal that he often made use of.

He knocked it on the bow and took aim. Black surface of Hrunting cracked a little as red light shone.

But he didn't wait for the weapon to completely turn red and fired it at Lancer.

*Boom!*

Hrunting broke through the sound barrier as it made its way to Lancer.

"Heh! Only this?" Lancer laughed as he easily parried the projectile, but instead of hitting another building, it turned around and chased after him. "Oh?" Lancer made a surprised noise as he reevaluated the power of the arrow.

As Hrunting made its way back to him, Lancer turned around in midair and kicked it.

*Boom!*

Hrunting exploded, but Lancer was unharmed except for a few minor scratches here and there. But most importantly, he propelled himself towards Evander who was taking aim with another Hrunting in his hand that shone with more red light than the previous one.

"Keke how many of those do you have? Come on! I'll destroy them all!" Lancer laughed as Hrunting was fired once again.

*Boom!* *Boom!*

Explosions rang throughout the city and frightened the residents. But the ones responsible couldn't care less.

Evander, because he couldn't afford to think of anything other than the enemy before him. And Lancer because he simply didn't care what happened.

After the second Hrunting failed too, the third one took its place.

*Boom!*

"Hey! It is getting annoying!" Lancer shouted irritatedly.

Just as Evander was about to fire the fourth Hrunting, Lancer landed on top of a rooftop and threw his spear then dashed once more.

Evander fired the Hrunting towards the incoming spear because he couldn't dodge it in midair.

*Boom!*

Hrunting exploded once again and smoke filled his vision. His danger senses screamed at him but he couldn't dodge in time as his head was grabbed by Lancer who suddenly appeared amid the smoke.

Then Lancer threw him towards the ground while summoning back his spear and throwing it at Evander once again.

*Boom!*

"Gah!" Evander crashed on the ground but he didn't have much time as the red spear was about to impale him.

He projected Kanshou and Bakuya and threw them at the spear while simultaneously rolling sideways.

The spear couldn't be stopped by the married swords but it bought him enough time to get out of the way. "I have created over a thousand blades." Evander muttered as he blocked a kick from Lancer. Ten swords materialized in the air and shot towards Lancer.

He summoned his spear back and parried all the swords as he looked at Evander who had his bow and that annoying arrow in his hand.

Hrunting shot once more.

"Tch." Lancer clicked his tongue as he destroyed another one.

*Boom!*

He didn't mind the wounds that appeared on his body and rushed straight through while pumping mana in his spear. "Let's end this Archer!" Then jumped.

Evander noticed the mana gathering in the spear as he dematerialized his bow and pointed his arm towards Lancer.

"Gae-" "Rho-"

"Bolg!" "Aias!"

Lancer threw the red spiked spear while seven petals made of iridescent light appeared in front of Evander.

Another chapter! Let me know your thoughts please~

Was it good? Was it bad?

I wanted to show that even though the mc is strong, a servant is no laughing matter. With a wrong move, he could also be killed just like he could kill them too.
