A long weapon, is suicidal lose to an enemy. The spearman’s tactic is to use their long range to defeat the enemy and win the battle. So, as Lancer is just advancing unchecked, he doesn’t have a chance of winning. “No way.” But that’s just by the book. Lancer’s lance shows no vulnerabilities as it strikes for the throat, shoulders, forehead, and heart. Thrusts so fast even the afterimages are blurred. As each strike of his lance repels, rebuffs, and pushes back Archer, any one of his thrusts could be called a fi nal blow. But even as a bowman, Archer is a Servant. No ordinary attack can be a fi nal blow…! Having repelled the lance aimed at his forehead, Archer closes in with speed superior to Lancer’s. A partial retreat does not allow escape, and an attempt to counterattack will only result in a slashed stomach. But simply going forward will end up in a smashed rib from the long shaft of the lance. Archer and Lancer are similarly built. On top of that, it’s hard for Archer with no heavy armor to step into range of a lance swung like a whirlwind. But, thrusts are a different story. A fast one certain to strike you is certainly scary. But as long as the attack targets a point, there are many ways to avoid it once you see it. As Archer did just then, hitting the shaft of the approaching lance to redirect. “Huh!?” The one in red stops. A nightmare like time is reversing. The thrust is faster than the previous ones…! Archer tries to parry the blow, but he gets taken aback along with both of his weapons. It seems that we were the ones that underestimated him. For that Servant for Lancer’s weapon, there are no general rules about lances. For that Servant for Lancer’s weapon, there are no general rules about lances. Who could ever parry continuous attacks without even space to breathe? Archer manages to retreat a bit and parries. And as a result, the distance between them opens a little. That distance. Lancer uses it as a runway to launch a powerful attack. godlike, ten blows already past. The heavy rains pour with yet more force, intending to put archer to death. The raging, continuous attacks are godlike, ten blows already past. The heavy rains pour with yet more force, intending to put archer to death. …It’s not fast, just skill. It thrusts like a waterfall, with no change in speed. Archer is now almost completely helpless. 19.
