[] This bounded field is going to do something, you just don't know what. Have Assassin keep Lancer busy while you investigate. Maybe draw Sakura away from her Servant.
"I'll handle Sakura. Keep Lancer out of my hair," you ordered as you leaned on your cane.
Assassin nodded as she drew her sword and kunai. Lancer narrowed her gaze before shooting towards you, only for Assassin to intercept her from the side. The two Servants clashed before Assassin kicked her into the ground. Lancer staggered back before turning to slash at your Servant, moving faster than the eye could see but Assassin parried the blow.
Chains swung down and Assassin moved, defending herself against each blows while maintaining her posture. Sparks flew between the two of them before Lancer turned and threw her chain at Chiyome. Assassin tossed a kunai to redirect it before Lancer swept in with a swing, forcing your Servant to jump and land a kick across her face.
"Lancer!" Sakura cried out as she took aim and fired.
"Not on my watch," you barked as you etched a rune and launched fiery darts to meet with Sakura's projectile.
The air exploded as Lancer pushed and slashed from below, forcing Assassin to evade and the two of them swinging at once and clashing. Sparks flew between them as they went past one another. Stomping on the ground, Lancer turned and threw her scythe as she twisted her body. Assassin saw this and jumped, spinning as she evaded it and landing on the ground.
Lancer tugged at her chain and pulled her weapon back. Chiyome turned and parried the scythe, only for Lancer to whip her sickle around and extending her range. Gravestones were cut down and pieces of stone flew through the air.
"I've been waiting for this moment, Assassin. You won't get away this time!" Lancer roared as she whipped the air with her scythe and jumped, sending her weapon down at Assassin.
Chains filled the air before Assassin smacked aside the Scythe and began parrying the chains coming for her. She slashed and hacked down the chains as if they all took a life of their own, only flipping back as one portion of the chain smashed into the ground she stood on. The scythe sliced thrice as she evaded it before Lancer threw it faster and harder.
Chiyome took out a bomb and lit it, detonating it before the scythe her, using the force to knock it off course while Assassin vanished. Lancer's eyes widened as she yanked her scythe back. She grabbed hold of the scythe's shaft as her chains danced around her, her body tensing as she looked back, her eyes flashing bright as her hood came off.
Purple hair danced in the air as light came from Lancer's Mystic Eyes.
"Mystic Eyes of Petrification ," Lancer echoed as she caught Assassin trying to get the jump behind her.
Assassin's body turned to stone almost immediately but Lancer's eyes only widened as it turned out to be an illusion. In Chiyome's place was a black snake that turned to stone. At the next moment, black Serpents with heads as large as cars emerged from the ground to take a bite out of Lancer. Gritting her teeth, Lancer chopped all of their heads at once filling the air with blood.
"Lancer, be alert!" Sakura ordered just as Assassin came from the shadows.
Lancer narrowed her gaze and found herself standing her ground as Assassin thrust her sword. However a surge of magical energy burst from her body and pushed Chiyome back.
"Mana Burst?" you murmured as you found yourself holding on to your cane.
Lancer used the momentary opening to step close to Assassin. With blinding speed, only purple lightning was left in her wake as she appeared on Chiyome's side. Your Servant reacted and got low to stop her head from being cut off. This gave Lancer the chance to smash her leg into Chiyome's stomach and send her flying back.
"Oh shit," you breathed as Assassin hit the ground and reoriented herself upon sliding back.
Lancer lowered her scythe as she spoke, "Enough games. Your tricks will be of no use."
Assassin turned to you and met your gaze. She nodded and faced her foe once more. You can spare to trust her, you can do at least that much. You turned your back on her and focused your own gaze on the graveyard and at the bounded field which surrounded it. Breaking into a run, you quickly identified as prominent nodes of magic.
It was like miniature leylines and it was serving as fuel to power this bounded field. Though what was the output and where does it...
You stopped and evaded an arrow which flew towards you. Sakura had managed to catch up to you as she notched another arrow.
"Hans!" she shouted before firing.
You responded by sliding down the ground and dodging her shot. You got out of cover and etched runes to call upon stone debris before repelling them with another rune. They rained a scatter shot of wreckage towards Sakura while you searched for the nodes. If you severed this bounded field's power source then-!
"Gotcha," you breathed as you found one magic circle and quickly dispelled it with your cane.
The bounded field shuddered and Sakura's eyes widened upon finding you. She grit her teeth and fired as she cried out, "Lancer! Do it!"
Lancer was preoccupied fighting Assassin but managed to find the time to raise her hand in the air. You noticed what this was and quickly acted by pricking your hand and offering your blood.
"Come forth Spirits of Malevolence, this blood of mine will be your offering! Go forth and destroy all the circles you find!" you ordered as Evil Spirits howled into the night before rushing towards their targets.
Sakura managed to shoot down four of them as Lancer activated her Noble Phantasm.
" Outer Seal, Blood Temple ," Lancer roared and the night sky quickly turned scarlet as a crimson ball hung in the air, the bounded field turning red almost instantaneously. However this transformation was immediately rolled back as your Evil Spirits managed to destroy several anchor points for the bounded field to manifest.
"Assassin!" you barked as Chiyome moved in and clashed with Lancer once more.
"You can't stop my Bounded Field, boy! With each circle destroyed more will only come!" Lancer screamed at you as she pushed back Assassin and swung upwards. Chiyome evaded and flipped to the side before clashing twice, sparks flashing between the two of them before Lancer broke through the contact and aimed for Assassin's neck.
Assassin managed to dodge and flip back, tossing pellets into the ground and creating smoke. Using the curtain of smoke, Assassin jumped towards Lancer and smashed into her, landing a kick straight into Medusa's sternum. Assassin didn't stop her assault as she pulled out several shinobi tools and rained metal and weapons at her foe.
Lancer used mana burst once more and blew them all away.
Sakura drew her arrows and fired at you while you moved a couple of Evil Spirits to catch her shots.
"If there's more then I just have to keep breaking them," you growled as Banshees howled and Specters rushed to collapse each circle that appeared.
"You can't win, Hans. Not when lives are at stake here! Think of the future!" Sakura argued with you as she strafed and fired arrows by the double.
Gravestones exploded and Spirits were forced to dissipate as you summoned Aegis. You tossed out projectiles in response as you spoke, "Cut the crap, Sakura. I know what you want. You knew this would happen from the beginning, you knew this fight will eventually occur, if you want the Grail, you'll have to stop me from getting it. Stop saying that this is about anything but what you want!"
"My life was ruined because the Grail Wars. My Sister's husband is missing because of the Grail Wars! I can't just let you go, not when I know what you're planning! Seven Grails, Hans? You're going to use the power of Seven Grails?!" Sakura yelled as she took aim charging her next shot before firing.
You raised your shield and took the brunt of the blow. An explosive force managed to crack Aegis but not fully shattering it but the smoke cleared and Sakura was holding an arrowhead filled with her magical energy. She smashed Aegis open, the shield shattering around you as she swung her bow at you.
You moved and intercepted her blow with your cane.
"You're not like other Magus. You're different, Hans. You're a good person... That's why no matter what, the things that could come from a war like that would just hurt a lot of people..." Sakura breathed as she met your gaze, pushing her strength against yours as she pushed you back, "I have my own wish, yes. I have my own agendas... But I can never agree with your establishing your own War with that much power on the line!"
"Then fine... Stop me if you can," you replied as you gripped your cane, "Now I'm motivated. Show me that you got what it takes, Matou!"
You managed to overwhelm her for a moment before etching a rune between the two of you. A pillar of flames burst between you both as she rolled back and notched an arrow, taking aim as an Evil Spirit hovered behind you, stretching its arms as multiple skulls filled the base of its neck. Sakura was forced to abandon her shot to evade the Spirit's swipe.
You were able to delay the Bounded Field's full potential but you can't keep this up for long. In a battle of attrition, Lancer had the advantage. You could tell that this field was made solely for you to be sapped of your power. If the circles would continue on appearing then your Ghosts won't be able to keep up. It'll only stop if either Lancer was killed or Lancer stopped it on her own, that was your guess. You couldn't kill Sakura but you had to do something.
[] Have Assassin keep Lancer busy while you take down Sakura. If Sakura's down then Lancer may stand down if you have a hostage.
[] Have Assassin to stop pulling her punches. She can go all out, you have her permission to show no mercy to Lancer. This ends now.
"I'll handle Sakura. Keep Lancer out of my hair," you ordered as you leaned on your cane.
Assassin nodded as she drew her sword and kunai. Lancer narrowed her gaze before shooting towards you, only for Assassin to intercept her from the side.
