Chapter 2 Archer Identity
"After that, although we took the berserker two lives, we still have no way to use berserker. Archer has used two treasures. If you want to defeat berserker, you may have to fight against all the Servants, and each of them has at least two offensive treasures. ()
Saber, if the berserker attacks again and you are in good condition and use the treasure, how many times can you kill the berserker?"
In order to hide his embarrassment, Tosaka quickly returned to the topic and raised the most serious questions at present.
We were simply whimsical about the monster that would die when we approached.
I complained silently in my heart, and then followed Tosaka's thoughts to look at Saber who frowned and lowered his head, waiting for her answer.
No matter how many solutions you come up with to defeat that monster, the final execution will always fall on your respective servers.
"If it were me, all I could use was the sword in my hand. If I couldn't kill him, I... had to cover the retreat of Guard Lang."
Saber lowered his head slightly and looked at the void blankly. His tone was filled with endless confusion and hesitation, and a hint of despair was faintly revealed.
This is the expression of Saber that I have never seen before. Even in my dream, this girl holding a sword has never been so uneasy.
For the enemy she could not resist, the girl's shoulders seemed to be overwhelmed by the heavy pressure, her fists clenched on her knees so that her joints turned blue. For the first time, she showed a feeling called fear in front of me.
Saber's weapon is only the torrent of light that I see, that is, as long as berserker resists the baptism of this torrent, Saber will no longer be able to do anything. That is why she is afraid, but she still makes the decision to cover me.
Notice the girl's clenched fists, I felt that my heart was also tightened by something. ()
"Saber, don't forget that berserker also has his shortcomings. After the Servant loses his mind, he cannot summon his real name, so beserker lacks a powerful attack that can make a final decision. Tonight, as long as the method is right, it will be fine for us to escape from him many times. But beserker's ten lives have been consumed. Therefore, the final victory will definitely be on our side."
Without looking back, I noticed that Saber was depressed. The red-clothed knight comforted Saber while driving.
"Yes, the mythical Hercules is famous for his bow and arrow. If the berserker tonight can use the bow and arrow, Tianma may not be able to come back safely. But in fact, the berserker cannot keep us at all."
I also echoed, hoping to encourage Saber.
"But I still can't deal with berserker. Even if I'm in the most perfect state, I can't actually win his Twelve Trials."
Saber's voice was not without depression. The girl holding the sword lost her confidence for the first time.
"Saber, don't forget. You are the strongest saber among the seven servants. As long as you can swing the holy sword, the mythical hero will be cut under your sword."
Archer became serious, and his seriousness and trust surprised everyone in the car to silence. ()
Everyone was doubtful about whether Saber could defeat Berserker. Even Saber himself lost confidence, Archer's voice was still full of confidence in Saber. It seemed that no one present knew Saber better than him and believed in Saber more.
"archer...I was suspicious for a long time, and now I'm finally sure, you know saber!"
Tosaka murmured, saying her questions that had been buried in her heart for a long time. ()
"Huh, why do you say that? Isn't the strongest saber among the seven followers common sense? How could the strongest saber lose to an irrational beast!"
Archer looked surprised, as if his understanding was taken for granted.
But I believe he refuses to accept it. However, like everyone else, I am very curious about Archer's identity, so I endured my complaints.
"Do you think I will believe it? It turns out that I was very surprised that the Servant who could fight with Lancer was defeated by Saber in one move. Besides, you escaped from Berserker tonight and took Berserker's life. It is difficult for Saber to do this. So you must have recognized Saber at first glance."
"By the way, I remembered one thing. Saber said when he first fought with Archer that he knew saber and Archer, and he also knew the identity of Archer. Isn't it saber?"
I also remembered the night when I summoned Saber. Saber said in person that he had met Archer once, so Saber must have known Archer.
"Shirou-! You're just starting to ask about such important information now? I thought you had known Archer's identity for a long time. You were so rude to Archer."
Saber hasn't answered yet, Tosaka speaks first.
"That, didn't I fainted after being injured and then forgot about this."
I'm embarrassed to answer.
"Damn... I made a mistake again. How could idiots like this think of the importance of the real name of a hero? Saber quickly tell me the real name of archer."
Tosaka mumbled in a low voice, instead using Black Crystal's pupils to look forward to Saber's answer with hope. ()
I also turned my head and waited for Saber's answer. As my eyes passed through the front seat, I noticed the look of the archer who was driving through the rearview mirror.
There is a hint of hope in the blue-black pupil. Archer does not attract others' attention and looks forward to Saber's answer.
The face that was always serious was moved by the incredible feeling, which was really strange.
"That, I just met Archer, that was during the last Holy Grail War, so I don't know who Archer is."
Facing my expectations and Tonsaka, Saber looked ashamed of not being able to help.
"Last Holy Grail War! Did Archer participate? Archer, why have I never heard you say it?"
Tosaka's curiosity is already full of servant with more and more mystery in his hands. However, Saber's next sentence solved the archer's siege.
"Rin, Archer was not a participant in the last Holy Grail War."
"Why didn't participate? Then how could he be summoned?"
There is a contradiction in the logic behind this. If you have not participated in the Holy Grail War, then the archer will not be summoned.
Could it be—
"archer, did you live in that era ten years ago?"
This way I can make sense, why archer is so adaptable to this era, good at cooking skills in this era, and is not at all contrary to modern items. The reasoning that it is too consistent with archer's identity makes Tosaka very much agree with.
"That is, the archer doesn't look like an ancient server. Only the reasoning of 'archer lived ten years ago' is the most appropriate.()"
"Hey, sorry, everyone guessed wrong. I haven't seen Saber before. I'd better hear how Saber knows me."
Archer chuckled, and the language seemed to feel relaxed with relief.
"The archer only appeared once last time, and that was when the war was over, and I was left with another servant in the server. The archer suddenly appeared on the battlefield - as the eighth servant."
Saber, who was trapped in memories, glanced at the surface and was driving, and put 80% of her attention on the archer. The Holy Green's eyes were full of confusion and admiration.
"At that time, his identity was said to be an archer - it should be a berserker. He broke into the duel with the craziest posture and forced another powerful servant to retreat."
Could it be that Archer, who has always shown himself in a calm and calm manner, actually entered the last Holy Grail War with the rank of berserker?
Tosaka and I looked at each other.
"Was that, the previous generation berserker, dead at that time?"
Tosaka asked in disbelief.
"Yes, the servant summoned by the previous generation under the rank of berserker is my best friend. He was the fifth servant to leave the game in the last Holy Grail War, and was finally defeated by me."
Reminding of bad memories, Saber's face was covered with a layer of sadness.
"Is it the loser of the war that summons another servant when the war is about to end? How can such a foul be done?"
Tosaka lowered his head and considered the possibility of realization of the reasoning, but eventually gave up.
Magicians are originally, turning the impossible into possible professions.
"Berserker-I didn't expect that I would have time to join that beast."
Archer looked dissatisfied with the fact that he would become an irrational berserker.
"Although you are not sure about Archer, you may be the one who can best control berserker with the power you showed last time."
Recalling the scene at that time, Saber pondered.
"Ahhh, saber isn't it wrong, can archer defeat berserker?"
"Well, because I saw the archer's treasure. What surprised me the most was that the number of the treasures could only be described as infinite. Even the strongest archer in the previous generation had to retreat in front of you."
Saber frowned and carefully described this amazing fact.
Unlimited treasures.
The incredible statement made me and Tosaka look at each other.
A hero with infinite treasures is absolutely impossible to appear in this world.
Everything that anyone has has limits, and heroes are no exception.
Even the king of a country has only a part of its own country and cannot be described as infinite.
However, Saber has always been serious and uses this word seriously despite his confusion.
"To this day, I can't forget the scenes at that time, including Eastern, Western, famous, unknown, and countless treasures. They appear as if they grow out of Archer's body. It seems that these treasures are hidden in Archer's body. I can't find such a person in any era."
Saber's description made the carriage silence.
A hero with countless treasures in his body? How come such a powerful hero is not recorded in the legend?
It is precisely because heroes are widely circulated that they can be upgraded to heroic spirits due to human respect. Moreover, the more widely it is spread, the stronger the ability of heroic spirits.
If there was no legend of archer in history, archer could not be powerful.
But Archer's battle has always been completely contrary to this common sense.
After a while, Tosaka stammered and remembered that he could ask the person driving next to him directly.
"What a joke, how could there be such a hero? Archer, how many things have you hidden from me?"
Archer answered indifferently.
"It's very simple, because that's not my treasure."
"What?"
"My ability is to take out and use treasures that do not belong to me."
Archer said only one sentence and refused to say it again, Tosaka was already furious about it.
"So, you've completely remembered your name, right!"
"Do you need your own name to use someone else's treasure? Now I know too many treasures, and I can't remember my real treasures, so I can't remember my name."
Archer's words are definitely a quibble.
Tosaka was almost desperate to face this servant who refused to admit his conviction.
For some reason, Archer doesn't seem to want to tell his real name anyway.
But in my heart, I seemed to hear a voice coming from nowhere.
This rank of man called archer, everything about him is a false object.
