Pendragon's Infinity Gauntlet

Page 29

Rin Tohsaka remained silent for a while, then a sound of gritting her teeth echoed in Pendragon's mind.

"okay."

Pendragon tossed the empty can into the appropriate trash can, obeyed Rin Tohsaka's order, and went straight home.

Does she really not know anything about Lancer's background? Why would she need to pursue her?

From your ancestors eight generations back to the color of your underwear, we can dig up all the details in no time.

By the time Rin Tohsaka returned, it was already very late at night.

The girl returned home without saying a word and sat down on the sofa.

With a sigh, he let out a powerless lament and listened blankly to the ticking of the clock for several minutes.

"—Hey, it's about time to change the mood. With so much combat experience, what are you daydreaming about?"

Rin stood up with renewed vigor and made herself a cup of black tea.

There are so many things to consider that it feels like my brain is about to explode, and I have a terrible headache.

What is especially important is the matter concerning followers.

Because she had just witnessed a battle between Servants that she had only known about in the past, even though the art style was different from what she had imagined.

"Lancer... I get anxious when he's about to use his Noble Phantasm, but once he actually does, we'll know his true identity..."

To defeat an enemy Servant, knowing their true identity is a quick way.

"I do know that guy's true identity."

Assassin's voice came from upstairs; so she was back.

"How's it going? Any results from the investigation?"

Rin Tohsaka's spirits lifted. If she knew Lancer's master and the Lancer's real name, defeating them and stealing the Dragon Balls would be much easier.

It should be noted that the greatest weakness of a Servant is their "real name".

Because if you know the Servant's real name—that is, their true identity—you can roughly guess what kind of Noble Phantasm that Heroic Spirit possesses.

Needless to say, since Servants are Heroic Spirits, there will be legends associated with them.

Knowing this key point allows you to understand most of their capabilities, which is equivalent to knowing their trump card and making corresponding arrangements. This advantage is considerable.

The principle of knowing yourself and your enemy is universally applicable. Therefore, upon learning of the progress made by Pendragon, Rin's headache instantly subsided considerably.

"It's said that only the fastest heroes are chosen as spearmen, and based on my experience fighting him, the guy I encountered tonight was one of the best. Such a formidable character, even if you go through all the epic legends, there are no more than three..."

Although it sounded like she was complaining that it didn't even count as a fight, Rin-sama temporarily suppressed her urge to complain, considering that Assassin had roughly guessed the other party's real name, and glared at her as she finished speaking.

"Add to that his ferocious nature and agility, which are like those of a fierce dog, and there's only one who fits the description."

"No way, could Lancer's real identity be..."

Rin Tohsaka had already guessed the other party's identity based on the characteristics described by Pendragon.

"Yes, it's him!"

"The Light of Ireland, the demigod Cú Chulainn!"

Miss Rin gasped, shocked by the enemy she was about to face.

After all, according to legend, that guy was a demigod.

Both Pendragon and the passing blower unanimously revealed disdain in Rin Tohsaka's eyes at her reaction.

Clearly, they do not take the title of "god" seriously.

P.S.: I've been having trouble sleeping and having vivid dreams lately, so I bought a pig's heart to steam and eat to help with my health. Goodnight~

Two updates today.

I fell asleep while writing in bed yesterday, so I'll only be posting two updates today.

There's another heavy rain warning today, so I might have to carry my car back again.

Enough with the talk of superpowered people. I commute to work on an electric scooter, not in a Optimus Prime car.

And so, one hundred words.

Why isn't it Saber in Chapter 50!

Chapter 50

"You might not believe it, Rin."

"what?"

Still immersed in astonishment, Rin looked at Pendragon with a somewhat blank expression, clearly not yet recovered from the shock of her opponent being a "god." This reaction made Pendragon feel even more uncomfortable.

"Actually, God doesn't taste very good."

"Clam???"

Rin Tohsaka looked at her with a bewildered expression, as if asking, "What are you talking about?"

"It's not as good as your Mapo Tofu."

"..."

Miss Rin finally snapped out of her daze and looked at Pendragon with a complicated expression.

Stared at like that by her, Pendragon felt inexplicably guilty, as if he had been seen through.

Could it be that I was caught slacking off and she's going to cut my food rations?

Absolutely not!

"What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing."

Rin Tohsaka gently shook her head, her long, flowing twin ponytails swaying as smoothly as ribbons.

Holy crap! No threats at all, is this a prelude to withholding rations?

Pendragon's gaze instantly turned serious as he met Rin's beautiful eyes.

"--Wait a moment!"

Rin Tohsaka suddenly seemed to realize something, and her gaze towards Pendragon changed abruptly. The emotions contained within were incredibly complex and difficult to describe in words.

"I felt something was off the moment I saw you after I got back."

"???"

Pendragon's eyes remained impassive; what was amiss...?

"Now that he saw us, it would be dangerous not to erase his memory. Most importantly, Lancer values ​​eliminating the witness more than fighting us..."

"If Lancer's owner knew that the witness who should have been killed didn't exist—"

That kind of guy, there's no way he'll live!

"You resurrected them?"

Pendragon wasn't present, but to avoid unnecessary trouble, she still inquired about it.

"That kind of thing doesn't matter! Assassin, let's go immediately!"

"Just got back, and you're already going out again..."

With a tone full of reluctance, Pendragon said that his ability to act had been sealed by a cat.

"I'll make you Mapo Tofu for a late-night snack when I get back!"

"Where do you want to go?"

Rin felt a lightness in her body, and then realized that she had been picked up by the Servant.

Mapo tofu's power over Assassins is even greater than that of Command Seals, leaving Rin Tohsaka with mixed feelings.

With a light leap, it landed on the roof, and then, using the momentum again, it seemed to have escaped the influence of planetary gravity, instantly soaring dozens of meters into the air.

Even without using telekinesis, Pendragon possesses a physique that is outstanding among Servants, and his movement speed is not slow, although it cannot compare to his flight speed.

It's not a matter of urgency. With the protagonist's halo, he won't die even if he's killed. Pendragon is worried that if he goes too early, his wife won't be summoned yet.

"Fortunately, I know where she lives."

As Pendragon held Rin in his arms, he pointed the way while making sounds of relief.

"Huh? You even found out where they live?"

Pendragon's tone was laced with amusement and a hint of mockery.

"No, I didn't investigate. It's just that someone I know goes there often. I've never been there before."

Miss Rin immediately denied it, her face was a little red, but that was probably from the cold wind.

Although Fuyuki City's winters are not particularly cold compared to other places, the cold air can still feel biting when it comes into contact with your skin.

"Seriously, you're just asking for trouble."

Pendragon stopped teasing her and started criticizing Rin's saintly behavior.

"We went through so much trouble to save her life, how can we let her die again?"

Rin Tohsaka's eyes flowed with magical power as she discerned her location while moving at high speed.

"Here! There's the aura of a Servant!"

Miss Rin was about to say something, but since they had already arrived near their destination, she quickly changed her mind and gave instructions.

Pendragon carried her straight into the yard, completely oblivious to the fact that he was trespassing.

"Ring ring." "Ring ring."

The wind chimes emitted a crisp and melodious sound, forming a series of sounds, which was actually a magic trick to warn of intrusion.

"Lancer!"

Rin Tohsaka released her arms from Pendragon, jumped out of her embrace, and stared intently at the tall, blue figure.

"Hmm, there's more than one Servant aura. So all seven Dragon Balls have finally been born?"

With Lancer, whom she had fought before, right in front of her, even though Rin Tohsaka had confidence in her Servant, she did not rush out rashly.

Because... this guy seems to have been kicked out of the house by other people?

Following the man's gaze, Pendragon and Rin both looked curiously into the warehouse.

The raging winds generated by the immense magical power had subsided, and the cool moonlight shone down, dispelling the darkness within the room. The scene appeared tranquil and serene, as beautiful as a painting, one that one would not want to disturb.

Pendragon saw the two people silently gazing at each other inside the warehouse.

One person sat down on the ground, staring blankly at the Servant standing silently in front of him, who had emerged from the ancient summoning circle.

This familiar scene reminded Pendragon of the classic moment when the Blanket King made his first appearance, answering the call to arms.

But... why is Saber the one sitting on the ground, wearing a school uniform, summoning a Servant, and occupying one of the seven chief positions?

The one sitting on the ground is undoubtedly Pendragon Artoria, because apart from the difference in hair and eye color, Pendragon sees her as if he is looking in a mirror!

But... why isn't Artoria Saber?

"Oh dear, it seems we've stumbled into a truly extraordinary timeline this time..."

It was a red knight, his strong and slender body casting a slanted shadow in the moonlight, as if a radiant light was gathering behind him, representing an angel of salvation.

The knight's gaze remained fixed on his master the entire time, completely ignoring Lancer, whom he had previously forced back.

"So, are you my client?"

Before the bewildered girl sitting on the ground could respond, the powerful binding force of the contract immediately took effect between the two of them.

"Tsk!"

Ignored, Wang clicked his tongue in annoyance and, equally disregarding Pendragon and Rin, charged into the warehouse again, gripping his spear with both hands.

That's incredibly fast! No wonder he's one of the best spearmen.

P.S.: I'm so embarrassed after typing this chapter, I'm so sleepy... Would you believe me if I told you a typhoon swept away my laptop while I was typing? Anyway, I'll pay you back on credit later, and I'll crossdress when I'm older. Going to sleep now~
