Yagi Sekssai and Alexander, the two contestants, lost two times. On the one hand, they had improper tactics, and on the other hand, they lacked strength. The servants summoned by Chaldea's technology were still too weak.
The next game will naturally be a duel between the two winners.
Sasaki Kojiro, a rare swordsman.
Mordred, the rebellious knight.
Two people who had nothing to do with Rome gathered in the Roman Arena and turned into gladiators to duel. Probably, this strange scene could only occur in the Holy Grail War.
Sasaki Kojiro quietly turned around from the corner next to everyone.
Until he acted, no one noticed his presence.
After all, the job agent is an assassin, and he is extremely good at hiding his aura without being discovered.
When he walked out of the lounge, Sasaki Kojiro took out his sword and held it in his hand.
It was an extra-long samurai sword that everyone jokingly called a bamboo pole.
The theory that one inch is longer and one inch is stronger is not valid for samurai swords. Otherwise, why not gather the power of Japan to make a long sword that is tens of thousands of meters long? Every inch is stronger, and that is not the best in the world.
A strong knife?
The problem is, if a knife with tens of thousands of meters is really made, how can someone wield it?
That statement is for pole weapons, not that any weapon can be made longer.
As the saying goes, too much is never enough.
The blade of the katana is thin, and killing mainly relies on its sharpness. The user is required to have excellent swordsmanship and flexibly cut the blade into the gaps in the opponent's armor. A blade that is too long will only cause difficulty in swinging.
But Sasaki Kojiro still chose the long sword.
Should I say...interest? Or should I say, self-confidence? Maybe, he was just too lazy to change. He just used the long sword like this, and he became famous along the way.
"Ah, isn't this a downtrodden samurai? I thought you would be defeated by that fake."
Mordred on the other side was unforgiving and used two nicknames in succession to address people.
In her heart, the person holding the holy sword should be at least someone who can compare with herself, right? Regardless of how strong he is, at least he should have no problem defeating an assassin. She should be able to compete with
He faced it head-on.
Unfortunately, it backfired. She saw Yagi Xuezai's battle. What kind of messy swordsmanship was that? It was simply an insult to the title of the King of Knights. If it weren't for the fact that the gladiator leaving the field privately would be recorded as a failure, Mordred would have been very unlucky.
Rush out and give him a good beating.
"I was lucky enough to beat him. It's not a record worth mentioning."
"Ah, I agree that it's not worth mentioning."
Mordred affirmed casually.
Even if you win against a sub-servant, there is nothing to brag about.
Although the two of them were talking, their postures were not chaotic at all. Sasaki Kojiro held the long sword with his arms slanted, and Mordred picked up the sword with both hands and moved carefully.
"Look, it's about to begin."
As Alexander said this, he unceremoniously picked up a sausage from the lunch box that Boudica had just given to the two of them and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Then, from the unique perspective of the Conqueror King, who should win?"
Yagi Xuezai asked while eating the unnamed snack inside.
The two people stayed in the waiting area eating lunch without any sense of tension, watching the gladiatorial match from the best angle. Alexander's wound had healed. After all, the servant was a spirit body, and the wound could be healed as long as there was magic power, but
The consumption of magic power can only be obtained from other places.
The two of them had nothing to do, so they just watched while eating lunch.
"It's... hard to say."
Alexander was in trouble.
Judging from the strength of the heroic spirit, this swordsman who calls himself Sasaki Kojiro is quite weak, not even as good as the previous Alexander.
But Sasaki Kojiro's weird sword skills and his invisible steps are really a threat. In terms of experience and technology, Kojiro has an absolute advantage.
Mordred carefully estimated the distance and saw that it was about the same. He raised his sword with both hands and struck Sasaki Kojiro head-on with a blow. However, in the face of this blow, Sasaki Kojiro just stepped aside and jumped to the side.
Opening, the sword in his hand flashed and he aimed at her knees and slashed at her.
Mordred snorted coldly, activated his magic power, and the armor that had been removed reappeared, wrapping his legs.
The weapon in Sasaki Kojiro's hand is not a precious phantom, it is just an ordinary long sword. It can only hurt servants who are spirits at most. It does not have any special properties that will not damage it, and it does not have the ability to sharpen iron.
The special legend of mud.
Kojiro knew that his sword blade could not cut through her armor, so he raised his wrist, and saw the sword turned instantly, almost at a 90-degree vertical direction, and this time the target was Mordred's elbow.
This change of move was extremely fast, and Sasaki Kojiro's face was calm, and there was no sign of his desire to attack. Mordred's reaction was a little slow. When his arm summoned the armor, he had already been slashed by him, and the wound was not deep.
But a hot pain spread throughout my arm.
"Tsk... That sword is as annoying as ever. I'll stick it out for you next time."
Like a child having a tantrum, Mordred muttered, releasing magic power from his hands, and red thunder exploded around his body.
Seeing this, Sasaki Kojiro did not attack, but took a step back, waiting for Mordred's offensive.
Mordred was not polite either. He swung his sword and penetrated the magic power under his feet, crushing the ground and crashing into Sasaki's body at high speed.
The long knife is not good at turning around. If you hit someone close to you, the advantage of the long knife will be gone.
Originally, this is how it should be.
Facing Mordred's blow to the chest, Sasaki Kojiro reversed the blade and blocked it with the spine of the relatively broad katana. Then he turned sideways, slipped his steps, and passed by Mordred, taking advantage of his misaligned body.
In an instant, the katana grazed the skin of Mordred's flank.
Because he had just turned the blade upside down, the blow was struck with the back of the blade, so there should have been no damage.
But as mentioned before, Sasaki Kojiro's sword is not a treasure, but an ordinary item. It was just struck by Mordred with a sword, and there was an irregular cut on the back of the sword. Forget about other parts of the spine, this
The small gap rubbed into Mordred's skin, causing her to gasp in pain.
"What a shame! Such a trick! It hurts me to death, bastard, you might as well just give me a knife!"
Mordred cursed, and Sasaki Kojiro smiled calmly: "Then, as you wish."
After turning sideways to avoid Mordred's blow, Kojiro held out his long sword and stabbed her defenseless back with the blade. Mordred didn't turn around so quickly, so she turned her head sideways and turned her sword backwards.
Behind her, the broad blade of the sword suddenly became a shield, blocking Sasaki Kojiro's blow. She struck hard, growled, and actually bumped directly into Sasaki Kojiro's side.
Sasaki Kojiro knew that she had the intention of bending his katana directly, so he didn't fight her violently. He turned around and took another step, preparing to avoid it.
Mordred was not forgiving. While he was dodging, she swung her foot and directly raised a large amount of sand. The magic power of the red sword in her hand was carried out. The black and red magic power suddenly appeared. She directly threw this thing towards the Roman Arena.
As soon as the sandy ground hit the ground, the smoke screen that exploded suddenly hid her body.
This is the trick I used against Alexander before!
A trick to make the enemy unable to find you and then make a sudden surprise attack!
