Pendragon's Infinity Gauntlet

Page 31

That's not the point!

Rin Tohsaka shook her head vigorously, her twin ponytails twitching. The key was the sword—this guy's weapon was actually a sword!

etc--

!!!

Suddenly, Rin Tohsaka had a flash of inspiration and remembered a detail she had previously overlooked.

The heroic spirits summoned by the Dragon Balls exist outside of time and space; Shenron didn't stipulate that he could only summon heroic spirits from the past!

Rin discovered a blind spot in her thinking: before this, she had always believed that Servants were beings from history, legends, and mythology.

Until she saw the sword in Assassin's hand, and connected it to Artoria's identity as the president of the kendo club... emmmmm

Pendragon will accomplish great things in the future, become a great hero who will be remembered in history, and enter Valhalla after his death.

Although this conjecture is quite outlandish, it's not impossible!

"Pendragon?"

"what?"

Pendragon was puzzled by Rin's change in address. Was she calling him? Shouldn't she be calling the blonde girl? But why was Rin's gaze fixed on him?

"Pendragon! You still say you're not Saber!"

"..."

She wasn't Saber to begin with.

"???"

Lancer and his group have also noticed the situation with Rin Tohsaka and her group. It seems that there's infighting between the leaders and the followers.

"A sword? So you're Archer?"

Lancer's gaze shifted from the sword in Pendragon's hand to the Red Knight, his eyes turning dangerous.

"No wonder something felt off when we fought just now. Who are you? I've never heard of an archer who wields dual swords."

Chapter 53 You've reached your NP limit!

Chapter 53

Archer, the red-clad knight, projected his shattered short sword, without directly answering Lancer's question.

"I am a nobody, not worth mentioning. But your identity is quite easy to guess..."

"Ahhh!"

Rin felt like she was going crazy. What was this guy thinking? He was the strongest Saber class, so why was he telling his Master that he was an assassin?!

Why? Is she out of her mind? What good would it do her to say that? What's with hiding her class from her Master?

In either case, doing this is harmful and serves no purpose! I just can't understand it...

"I'm really not Saber..."

Pendragon's voice held a hint of helplessness as he tentatively asked, "Would you believe me if I said I was Berserker?"

"hehe."

Rin Tohsaka flatly rejected the idea, her jewel-like green eyes looking down at Pendragon with disdain, her expression full of arrogance.

"You said you were an Assassin, and judging by your physique, I believed you. A Berserker? Do you think I'm an idiot?"

"..."

I never imagined that someone with thin eyebrows and big eyes like you would betray the revolution and join the ranks of those who judge by appearances!

"Don't just look at appearances, what matters is inner qualities. I'm super brave."

Since it was in front of other Servants, Lady Rin felt she should give her own a little face, especially since she was actually quite happy that this guy was Saber.

"We'll talk about that when we get back."

Miss Rin paused for a moment, then said somewhat reservedly, indicating that the argument should end there.

Meanwhile, Archer and Lancer finished their long chatter, revealing the identity of the big dog.

"..."

For some reason, Rin Tohsaka felt like she'd heard the Red Archer's words somewhere before.

"Tch, that's the downside of being too famous."

Looking genuinely troubled by this, Lancer sighed with delight, then struck a pose.

"By the way, since we're all meeting for the first time, is there any intention to call it even? I'm just here to investigate, and I don't want to use my trump card to benefit the one behind the scenes."

"I refuse. You are an opponent I will have to overcome sooner or later. There's no time like the present, so I'll just fall right here."

Archer spoke in a nonchalant, indifferent tone, then suddenly changed the subject, pointing Moye at Pendragon.

"But before that, I have another suggestion. How about we join forces to take care of this little bird?"

"Haha! Actually, that's what I think too."

Lancer turned and pointed his spear at Pendragon's heart.

Rin Tohsaka sensed something was wrong and quickly jumped back, hiding behind Saber, who was shorter than her.

Pendragon pushed up his glasses, clearly sensing the targeting and probing intent from Archer's side.

Why? This isn't magic.

On my side are Saber and Rin Tohsaka. Generally speaking, even if Archer doesn't immediately bow down, he at least doesn't mean any harm, right? He's not Tsuchiro...

Pendragon was puzzled by Archer's hostility towards him, but that was all. Otherwise, was he afraid of the two burly men in tight suits working together?

"I'm telling you, you're such a coward."

The killing intent emanating from the two Servants was no joke; it actually froze the air!

Even though Rin Tohsaka had wisely retreated quite a distance, she still felt stiff in her limbs and found it difficult to move.

At that very moment, Saber turned around without a care in the world and even had the mood to complain about Master's strategic retreat!

"Shut up! I'll provide support from behind, watch yourself!"

With a slightly flushed face, Miss Rin called out to Pendragon. If translated into sentences she was familiar with, it would probably be something like: Your NP is full, hurry up and deliver... no, hurry up and go!

"..."

As Pendragon turned his head, Lancer, that sneaky guy, charged forward without any chivalry, the blood-red spear tip already inches away!

The speed was as fast as lightning, seemingly able to ignore distance and traverse space. Before the attack even arrived, the gust of wind and killing intent that rushed towards one's face stung, and one's brow throbbed wildly.

Pendragon swiftly swung his head, narrowly avoiding the spear's thrust. It was only two centimeters away; Lancer's spear blade could have sliced ​​through his hair!

Time seemed to have rewound to just a few hours earlier, to that frustrating period that nearly drove Lancer to the brink of despair.

No matter how swift and varied the spear's attacks were, each time it was just a hair's breadth away from being effective, as if if one's attack were just a tiny bit faster, the attack would be successful...

But the truth is, even if Archer, who is skilled with dual swords, joined the battle and ganged up on Saber, the outcome would not have changed.

Despite facing the onslaught of two Servants simultaneously, Saber was still not pushed to her limit. She remained completely at ease. I really wanted to use all my strength to teach her a lesson.

"It starts again..."

Rin Tohsaka was quite nervous at first, after all, there were two Servants on the other side.

But when this familiar scene happened again, she silently put away the gem she was holding between her fingers.

"This guy's attitude is problematic."

It's impossible not to be secretly pleased. Saber truly lives up to her reputation as the strongest Servant. She can hold her own against two opponents, but her personality is just too lazy.

Could it be because I'm too strong and don't treat the other Servants as human beings?

For a moment, Lady Rin felt like she had been hit by a happy problem: what to do when her own Servant was too strong and didn't treat her opponents like human beings?

Putting that aside for now, speaking of which, Archer's master really surprised Rin Tohsaka today in many ways.

Taking advantage of the opportunity while the two burly men were "entangled" by Saber, Rin Tohsaka decided not to provide her with support from behind and moved closer to the warehouse along the edge of the yard.

This time, Archer didn't attack her again. Or rather, his initial target was Pendragon, and now, teaming up with Lancer, he was using all his strength to try and suppress her, having no time to spare for anything else.

What kind of deep-seated hatred is this?

Compared to Lancer's restraint in suppressing his strength, Pendragon could feel a clear difference in sheer presence.

To be precise, she's under a lot of pressure right now. With Archer at full power and Lancer not going all out, Pendragon is just dodging with her intuition without using the power of the gems!

It's a bit tough.

P.S.: Going to cook dinner now. I'll write the second chapter tonight after I finish eating. I probably won't skip today...

Chapter 54 Warning about cheating

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"It's outrageous for two grown men to team up like this!"

Pendragon's dark gold eyes stared at the fierce-looking Lancer, his magic rapidly flowing to his left hand, simulating the Power Stone—

Warning: Cheating!

With an extremely strong will to survive, Wang Jiang once again felt a chilling murderous aura.

He sprang backward in an instant, as if an unarmed human were facing a lion awakening from its slumber, and the instinctive fear made him choose to retreat without thinking.

After selling out his temporary teammates, Lancer performed a backflip and jumped onto the courtyard wall. His movements were incredibly practiced, as if he had rehearsed them a thousand times in his mind. His skill was so impressive that it was heartbreaking.

Before Archer could even utter a curse, the twin swords he had crossed in front of him for defense were met with a blow from Pendragon's left fist.

The armored arm didn't seem particularly strong, but the moment it collided with the short sword he projected, it shattered the sturdy weapon inch by inch.

Pendragon's fist pierced Archer's defenses effortlessly, as if displacing air, and gently struck his chest...

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Pendragon's fist remained on Archer's chest for a full second, just as they were wondering about the calm during that second and hadn't had a chance to react.

Archer's tall figure vanished instantly!

That's right, it's just that it's visually gone.

It was just here a moment ago, such a huge Archer, and suddenly it's gone.

Only Lancer, being a Servant, saw something that was uncertain whether it was an afterimage...

However, Lancer quickly confirmed that it was an afterimage!

Because in front of Saber's fist, a delayed shockwave spread out rapidly, and the sound of the air exploding was as loud as thunder, even shaking the ground!

The reason for this phenomenon is probably that Archer's body flew out at too high a speed.

"Farewell."

Without uttering any unnecessary words, Lancer turned and jumped onto the roof, disappearing as a spirit after a few leaps.

A powerful gust of air swept the dust from the yard into the sky, as if a sandstorm had appeared out of nowhere.

Rin Tohsaka gaped wide, completely abandoning any ladylike demeanor. Her expression was as if every muscle in her face was being mobilized to the extreme, creating an incredibly exaggerated pose.

This was a textbook example of facial expression, completely different from her usual perfect and elegant demeanor, creating a huge contrast that Pendragon found very amusing.

Well, Pendragon didn't like her to the point of thinking "even her facial expressions are so beautiful," he just found it interesting that such a top beauty would have such a huge contrast.

"Saber! You're Saber, right? Why don't you use a sword?"

Rin, who hadn't yet met up with Artoria at the warehouse entrance, saw this scene and her expression was a complex mix of emotions, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

"I've already said I'm not Saber..."

Pendragon's attempts to explain were weak, and after seeing Rin Tohsaka's stubbornly foolish expression, he chose to remain silent.

Don't try to reason with a stubborn idiot.

"Um... Tohsaka-san? You are, Tohsaka-san, right?"
