Chapter 204: Lancers Have Good Luck Since Ancient Times
Ryudong Temple.
One of the places in Fuyuki City where the spiritual energy is abundant.
The group quickly arrived at the back mountain of Ryudong Temple, where Caster, using Gilgamesh's body, prepared to perform a summoning.
"I didn't expect the Holy Grail to be obtained so easily; it seems so simple~"
At the nearby Rin Tohsaka Verde Racecourse, only two Servants died before the Holy Grail was summoned.
As for the final summoners, they are Caster and Saber. Lin Yu doesn't need them, Rider doesn't need them either, Sasaki Kojiro is out of the question, and Dog Brother can just take a look.
"Regarding wishes, who do you plan to make the wish?"
Lancer, an outsider, remarked, "After all, Lin Yu and his group have a lot of people."
“I don’t feel anything about wishes; I just want to prove my excellence,” Rin Tohsaka said.
“I don’t care, after all, I didn’t do anything,” Shirou Emiya said.
“Me too. Now that Sakura has been healed, I don’t need her anymore,” Rider said.
“I don’t have any specific needs, so I’ll see what Caster says,” said Soichiro Kuzuki.
"Alright, now it's just you two, Saber and Caster," Lin Yu said, looking at the two of them.
“Since the Holy Grail is really as Archer said, I’m willing to believe you. If even you have given up on making a wish, then so can I.”
After a moment's thought, Saber gave up the chance to make a wish with the Holy Grail. After all, even the powerful Archer chose to give it up, so she had no reason to gamble.
"I'm so touched. I never expected you to believe me, Saber."
Lin Yu joked that the woman was quite wary of him when they first met.
"I didn't expect that you don't even need Saber? It feels like this Holy Grail War summoned us here for no reason."
Lancer was speechless. She thought Lin Yu and the others would fight each other for the Holy Grail, but who knew that they would just give the wish to others because no one wanted it.
"Lancer, kill Archer's Master now!"
Just as Lancer was lamenting how boring the Holy Grail War was, an order reached his ears.
"You bastard!"
Lancer immediately cursed. First of all, he didn't want to do this. Secondly, why are you making a move here? Do you want him to die?
His intention was indeed to find a powerful opponent to challenge, not to have a bunch of powerful opponents gang up on him. Even if he could kill Archer's Master, it doesn't mean the other Servants are useless!
"Archer! Get your Master out of here! I'm losing control of myself!"
Lancer used his will to say those words, and Kirei Kotomine directly used a Command Spell to order him to act.
In that instant, everyone sprang into action. Rider pulled down his blindfold to reveal his Mystic Eyes, while Saber raised her sword to protect everyone.
"Don't blame me, I have no way to resist the power of this Command Seal!"
Lancer was in agony, wanting his magic spear to stab a little girl.
"You bastard!!!"
Lancer cursed loudly, but his hands did not hesitate as he began to stab Rin Tohsaka.
"Boom!"
Lin Yu immediately used his telekinesis to finish off Lancer, and the un-thrusted demonic spear dissipated into the air, accompanying Dog Brother back to Valhalla.
"As expected of a Lancer with maxed-out luck, the Holy Grail War can't do without you, Dog Bro."
Lin Yu complained that the Lancer's luck was really incredible. As long as his Master was Kirei Kotomine, he would be sent back to Valhalla in humiliation.
"Ha-hoo! Ha-hoo!"
Rin Tohsaka gasped for breath, still shaken as she recalled the terrifying moment that had just occurred.
Although she was very talented, Lancer's "reversal of cause and effect" shot made her feel as if her heart was being pulled tightly by an invisible rope, instantly suffocating her and leaving her unable to move.
“You’ve been a great help, Archer.”
After patting her chest to catch her breath, Rin Tohsaka thanked Lin Yu, saying that the feeling of death was truly unpleasant.
"Haha, aren't you my Master? Rin, it's only natural for me to protect you."
Lin Yu smiled slightly and teased her. At this moment, Rin Tohsaka looked particularly cute with a hint of embarrassment and shyness.
"Humph~"
However, Lin Yu's words made Rin Tohsaka instantly become arrogant. She gave a soft hum in response. This strong-willed girl was somewhat ashamed of her performance just now, after all, she has always been someone who is unwilling to admit defeat.
After all, the helplessness in the face of Lancer, and the frustration of having to rely on Archer Lin Yu to save her, made Rin Tohsaka, who always felt that she could help, feel very uncomfortable.
However, she was also self-aware. After witnessing the battles between many Servants, especially the earth-shattering duel between Archer and Gilgamesh, she finally understood the huge gap between herself and the Servants.
Therefore, after only a brief period of discomfort, the girl quickly recovered and firmly believed that as long as she worked harder, she would one day become a powerful magician.
"So Rin, sometimes things aren't completely over yet, so don't easily say things like 'Flag,' or it's easy to cause trouble."
Lin Yu lectured Rin Tohsaka, saying things like he would marry her after the war was won, or he would propose to her after defeating the Demon King. However, the endings of these stories were all tragic, leading many powerful beings to manually change the world's creator's fate through the spacetime network and the ultimate laws of physics.
“Oh...I see, Archer.”
Rin Tohsaka said hesitantly, but she didn't realize the seriousness of what Lin Yu said. She just thought that she should be more careful in the future.
"Buzz!"
While Lin Yu and Rin Tohsaka were still talking, the Little Grail on the other side couldn't hold back any longer. After absorbing Lancer's magic power, it seemed to have been awakened to some kind of power and began to "perform" on its own.
The Lesser Grail, which already contained the magical power of many Servants, now has Lancer's power added to it. It can now initiate the process of summoning the Greater Grail on its own without the guidance of Caster Medea.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the Lesser Grail began to change drastically. The powerful magical fluctuations and the ominous aura it contained were already self-evident and required no further explanation from Lin Yu.
Everyone present felt the abnormality of the Holy Grail; its surging magic and overwhelming malice sent chills down their spines.
"This...this is the Holy Grail?"
Rin Tohsaka was too shocked to speak, while Shirou Emiya was in a daze. This terrifying scene instantly reminded him of that night when he was shrouded in fear.
