[] You need your Servant now. Use your Command Seal to summon Assassin as she grabs Lancer with her.
You responded to her question by stepping forward and raising your hand, "I'm not dying here. With this Command Seal, Assassin, grab Lancer and get here!"
Minerva wasn't even fazed as crimson light bathed the graveyard you were all in just as Assassin appeared with Lancer in hand. The wind burst from where they appeared as Assassin held her sword in her hand. It was her Noble Phantasm which she used to cut apart the Blackened's beams and take out Lancer's arm awhile ago.
Saber's eyes were raised before an amused smile curled upon his lips. However that wasn't all you were surprised about. Lancer was in a dire situation as she was left more wounded than Assassin was. She was bleeding all over and her flesh was rend all over by claw and bite marks. She struggled to stay on her feet as she bled behind Assassin.
"Lancer!" Sakura cried out before Saber moved.
Assassin shoved Lancer back before turning to clash blades with Saber. The ground split and the air howled before a spark appeared, Assassin had managed to parry the blow as Saber staggered back. She moved fast and thrust her sword but Saber managed to defend and counter, his fist went flying towards her face and forced her to bend her back.
Palming the ground, Assassin raised her legs to kick aside Saber's arm before she got down to her feet. Saber continued with the pressure as he struck her with lightning fast blows. Assassin kept a sound mind and took the blows as it rocked her smaller body, each strike had the weight of lightning behind it as she parried with all she had.
Redirecting the blows. transferring their power and looking for the opening she needed, those were the things she needed to do to survive the Storm God's assault.
"Not bad, little Orochi," Saber sneered as she kept swinging from side to side, trying to find an angle through her defense.
Chiyome's eyes widened as she raised her eyes to look at him, "Wha-?"
"I can smell it on you. The odor is overpowering compared to last time. Did you finally become one with that Snake?" Saber snarled as he unleashed a blast of magical energy around him, breaking Chiyome's guard and letting him reach out to her.
He managed to grab her face and pull her close, driving his knee into her stomach before smashing her face in with his elbow. Chiyome gasped as she was kicked into the ground, blasting through a couple of gravestones where she coughed out blood. You grimaced as Saber smirked and lowered his sword before turning behind him.
Sphinxes began to gather in the air. Those that remained numbered at around three dozen by your count and they all dived towards him. His sword began to crackle and shine, lightning danced around him. Saber's eyes shined bright as he gathered his magical energy within his blade as it changed appearance, becoming similar to the blade Chiyome held in her hands.
Divine power surged through his body with enough power to make you buckle on your knees. He faced the approaching Sphinxes and performed a mighty slash.
"
Snake Slaying Sword of Heaven !!!" Saber roared as he cut through the air, lightning blasting forth and shaving off the Sphinxes out of the air. You watched as the sky was split and the air howled from his strike, being more powerful than what Chiyome ever performed with the sword in her hand.
"You see this, little Orochi? This is how you use that sword," Saber declared as he looked behind him to see Chiyome descend upon him with a kunai in hand. Sparks flew in the air as the two of them clash, pushing each other away before Chiyome threw her kunai at him.
Saber simply swatted it aside as he regarded Assassin before him.
The two of them looked up to see some Sphinxes survive the Noble Phantasm. They turned away from one another to cut down the beasts coming their way. You watched Lancer get up and try and defend Sakura against the monsters. Minerva used her magecraft to stun and knock back the Sphinx which landed on her side.
Assassin cut down the Sphinx she was fighting before turning to face Saber. She kicked off the ground as the man turned and took the bottle on his hip before raising it. The air was filled with droplets of alcohol, covering the space between Chiyome and Saber with the stench of sake.
"Saber, thin the herd," Minerva ordered as she smiled before Saber stepped past Assassin.
You and Assassin tensed up as he went past her. He was targeting someone else?!
You and Chiyome cried out loud at the same time.
"LANCER!"
"LANCER!"
Medusa turned just in time to see Saber plunge Ame no Habakiri into her heart.
STAB
In the midst of the chaos the Sphinxes created, Minerva saw the chance to pick off Lancer while she was busy defending her Master and Luvia. However...
"ASSASSIN!" Lancer roared as her mouth was filled with blood. Her eyes shined and Saber raised his eyebrow to feel his body turn stiff.
Mystic Eyes of Petrification
Saber was kept in place as Lancer's body began to break apart into golden light. This was her last act for her carelessness, if she could at least take down this bastard with her then this would have been worth it!
You watched Saber's extremities turn to stone but he could recover at any moment. This was your chance to make this really hurt for him! Saber's body began to surge with power, he was about to break free!
In the Midst of Despair
