Chapter 13: New Power

"KENG, KENG, KENG."

The sound of friction and sparks emanating from the two weapons in a corner of the cave, Lancer's spear repeatedly pierced Acher, causing his two swords to break repeatedly and have to be restored repeatedly.

"What's wrong Acher! Is that all you have?."

Lancer Alter attacked Acher so that he could not attack again, but was always on the defensive.

"You hound, you seem stronger than before! Also this monstrous form!"

Acher said while laughing hard at Lancer's fierce attacks.

"How did he get so strong? And that form too! After all, what happened to him?"

Acher blocked the attack while thinking about why he changed into this form, and on Lancer's side even though he was taking the advantage, even if he changed his form, he still kept his nature. Lancer still became angry.

"Are you even more bold, Acher? With this situation you have no chance of defeating me."

"Who knows? For you, I have more than enough means to defeat you."

The two argued back and forth, and Acher took the opportunity Lancer was getting angry to reveal an opening to counterattack him.

"It's not over yet!"

Acher attacked Lancer with such vigor that he took a few steps back by surprise.

"This bastard! It's fast but it's not enough!!"

Lancer regained his initiative and attacked Acher more fiercely, then the two balanced attack and defense back and forth, as Lancer put more effort into knocking and knocking away two of his blades. Acher, make you stagger by surprise.

"Oh my God!."

"Haha!! You lost Acher! I don't know the identity of your heroic spirit, but unfortunately this is the end!"

As Lancer's spear was about to pierce Acher's body, suddenly, for a moment Acher's magic circuit was activated and flowed down his right hand, an object was created by Acher and immediately took advantage of Lancer's opportunity. is focusing on attacking and showing an opening.

"BANG"

A gunshot was fired straight into Lancer's chest, causing his chest to bleed from the bullet hole, but not hitting Lancer's heart but slightly to the right, so he didn't die.

"Wha...what!?."

"TSK! Didn't hit the heart!"

"Where did you get that gun from?"

"Who knows? And if I did, why tell you?"

"This bastard!."

Lancer used his left hand holding back to look at Acher standing confidently with a smiling face, going back to 2 hours ago to explain why Acher was able to create a gun, at Rin's house when everyone was waiting for both of them, Rin and Shirou, Acher and Khanh Minh were standing not too far from the three Servant girls.

"So what is that?"

"That is..."

While talking, he took out the gun he used to transform and showed it to Acher.

"This is?."

"My gun, the fact that I showed it to you was to let you copy it to help us."

"Aren't you afraid of my betrayal?"

"Are not!."

When he heard me say that, Acher looked at me in surprise and said.

"It's not entirely true that you said you weren't afraid of you betraying me, but given the current situation, there's no point in betraying you."

"You're also right! But even if we defeat them, we'll still have to fight for the holy grail."

Acher gave evidence that this alliance is only temporary, and after it is completed, will turn to fight for the holy grail, but Khanh Minh looked at Acher with a look of concern and said.

"Haizz...if you want to, just take it and then don't tell me what's going on."

"Hey hey! Don't you want to take the holy grail and make a wish?"

"No! I don't need and don't want to touch the source of my fatigue."

With his surprised expression, Acher was confused by Khanh Minh's answer, because Acher did not expect that he would answer like that.

"Ah...well, let's just say that, why are you participating in the holy grail war? And how did you summon 2 Servants? And about Emiya Shirou's ideals again!."

Before Acher's question, Khanh Minh thought for a moment and then answered.

"The reason I joined?…because someone asked me to join this war to destroy that damaged holy grail, why I summoned 2 Servants I don't know, and also I can't say about Emiya Shirou."

"Is that so! Let's say that but I'm curious as to who asked you to join the fight! Who is he, anyway?"

"Sorry I can't speak! If I said it unnecessarily, I'd be in a lot of trouble, including you."

After listening, Acher did not want to ask any more about Paradox's identity, but moved to another place.

"Then I have a condition."

"What's condition?."

"It's you, let me copy that armor!"

Khanh Minh was quite surprised by the conditions Acher wanted.

"Why do you want to copy my armor?"

"Simply with the situation you say I want to increase my strength, and that armor is the best."

"Maybe no?."

"Sure."

Both of them looked at each other with a serious look and didn't say a word, after a while Khanh Minh also spoke up.

"Okay! But don't use it to cause trouble, otherwise don't blame it for that."

"I accept, no matter what, I will not betray."

Then Khanh Minh took out his belt for Acher to copy, but while copying, Acher was turned off and could not copy anymore.

"What's up?."

"It's nothing! It's just that this belt only gives me a 50% copy."

"Oh really!."

"But I can still restore one that looks like it but has only an ability, the output is only 50% of your original."

Then Acher made a belt like that, and made it disappear.

"It's true that restoring this takes mana but I'll probably only restore it twice at most, with that much Mana."

"Then remember to use it carefully, or it won't work at all."

Acher heard that and laughed.

"You seem to be more polite as an ally than as an enemy, aren't you?"

"Whatever."

Then Shirou and Rin came out and the conversation ended, back to the battle Acher was standing with Khanh Minh's gun in hand.

"This gun is really powerful even though it's not as powerful as the original, but it's enough to kill you."

"You're doing well, old fox! If that's the case, then I won't give up and will fight seriously."

"What!?."

"Activate the Noble Phantasm!!"

Lancer's body showed a bright red-black smoke that repelled Acher, and took him by surprise.

"What the hell is this!? It's not okay then I have to act!."

Not giving Lancer time to successfully launch the Noble Phantasm, Acher repeatedly used his gun to shoot at the smoke, but it was too late from Lancer's smoke to fly out to attack, fortunately Acher was able to use two of his swords in time. I caught it, but it broke and fell to the ground.

"What the hell is wrong with your appearance? Why do you look even more heterogeneous, like a humanoid centipede!"

Lancer's body had changed into a different form, his tail was larger and longer, his arms were covered with red and black armor full of thorns and huge peduncles, his entire head and shoulders were covered in armor of thorns. long horns on the top of his head, only his abdomen is open, and his legs have turned into legs like that of a beast.

"You can say whatever you want, but this is the end Acher!!"

With the power that was increased with just one bounce that sent Acher flying away with a scratch-like wound on his body, he didn't stop there and rushed towards Acher once more.

"(Damn it, I'll lose! Damn he was easier to fight before but now he's like a monster! If that's the case then I'm) I am the bone of my sword... Rho Aias!.

A pink flower-shaped shield appeared along with several layers of shields, blocking Lancer's attack that was broken in one hit, but also stunned him for a bit.

"This bastard...who are you? Why do you even have this shield?"

"You don't need to know, but with you becoming that weird thing with increased power, I'll just have to use it."

"You mean your Noble Phantasm?."

"Nothing else! I just got it so I'm not sure."

As he spoke, Acher restored his waistband, then brought the gun in his hand to his face and spoke.

"Henshin."

When the command was said and the gun was brought into the holster, the armor immediately surrounded Acher, first with lines of blue light and then glowing, creating armor that surprised Lancer.

"Why does that armor look like that of that Master?"

"Then it's his just copied over, with a close look at how he uses it, and its functions so far, I'm sure, this can kill you, Lancer!."

"Bold words? Then let's see who dies first!!"

"Okay come on up!"

Then the two rushed to fight each other, Acher not only used his gun, but also used his weapon, with the wearing of Delta armor that made all Acher's stats up to Max Ping, and was able to fight with Lancer Alter neatly.

"This armor is amazing! My strength has increased by many times!"

"You've said enough nonsense!"

Lancer lost patience and attacked Acher more fiercely, and Acher did the same, the two refused to give up, the battle was extremely exciting, although sometimes two blades were broken, but in return Acher had a gun for him to fight better. ,

Just like that, thinking that everything would stay like this, but no, the two pushed each other away.

"It doesn't look good like this, does it? It's about time we ended it."

"Yeah that's right! So now I'll go all out to pierce that damn armor and you too!"

"Okay! Come on Lancer!!"

"Give it up, Acher!."

Lancer immediately rushed to finish Acher, at that speed Acher did not have time to make two blades so he immediately turned on the armor's kill mode.

"Check!."

"Ready! Exceed Charge!"

Once Acher got the tagline and the gun confirmed, Acher immediately fired a drill-shaped beam of energy at Lancer, knocking him to a standstill.

"What the hell is this!?."

"I don't know either? I'm just following the manual!."

"I can't move!"

"This is the end Lancer!!"

Acher ran over and jumped straight into the beam and transformed into energy that passed through Lancer.

"Did I lose? Damn you bastard Acher!."

He collapsed to the ground and caused him to disappear, and Acher untransformed but kept his belt on just in case.

"Finally done! Now I should go support everyone!"

With that said, Acher left to assist the rest, at the same time deep in the cave the mysterious man realized that Lancer had been defeated.

"Lancer is defeated!? So my calculation is wrong? It's interesting to see who will be my opponent?"
