Chapter 17: Saber VS Lancer
Magic power surges, air currents swirl, and white light flashes.
Saber undergoes this transformation and reveals a transformation posture like a sorceress girl. Her clothes instantly transform into a set of blue and white women's skirts and armor with blue and white as the main color.
In her right hand, she holds an invisible sword. It's unclear what it is because it's surrounded by airflow, forming an optical camouflage effect like spatial distortion.
Although this scene makes people want to complain about the transformation, there is no doubt that this is indeed the manifestation of extraordinary power, which makes many people feel excited.
Seeing this scene, Lancer smiled: "Such a heroic act, Saber. Unfortunately, limited by the rules of the Holy Grail War and the Master's orders, it's a pity that you cannot retaliate against your current fate."
Saber said indifferently: "Hiding one's identity is what it should be. The essence of war is deception. We are participating in this Holy Grail War. Even though the number of participants is small, it's still a war."
Lancer: "The essence of war is deception...This is a modern world idea, isn't it?"
Saber: "Yes, I have benefited a lot from the modern knowledge implanted by the Holy Grail, and I agree with it very much. Because this is war, you must try your best to hide yourself. Otherwise, your true identity is exposed, you will easily become the target of the enemy."
Lancer smiled when he heard this, and waved the two weapons in his hands. The barrels of the guns roared loudly in the air, very powerful: "Then, let's start from here! Saber!"
Saber: "That's what I meant!"
The two sides face each other, momentum begins to emerge, and the war is about to break out.

In the real world, people also understand some information about the Holy Grail War through the conversation just now. For example, it is best for the Servants to hide their real names, because if their true identities are known, they are more likely to become targets.
It is now known that Servants are clones of Heroic Spirits, and Heroic Spirits are heroes who have appeared in human history. So does that mean that the disasters and even the factors of death that these heroes encountered in their lifetime also apply to the Holy Grail War?
The concept of special attacks is not strange. What the Holy Grail War is showing now is very similar to a game, and the game has its rules, often powerful characters can be directly killed because of some small weaknesses.
Although it's strange to materialize it in the real world, it's not impossible.
At least, the think tanks recruited by various countries have analyzed this possibility and recorded the possibility to prepare for the Servants who may appear in the future – yes, various countries have proposed to study the light screen, although the plan of summoning Heroic Spirits is very unreasonable and very unscientific, as has been said many times, this world has become very unscientific since the emergence of the mystery.
In this case, it's not extraordinary to study the light screen method of summoning Heroic Spirits to help in battle.
After all, you have to be bold to try everything. What if you succeed?
Even if you fail, it's no more than wasting resources and time, and the country, especially the five giants of this world: America, Russia, Britain, Japan, and China, occupy many countries. They are powerful and have the absolute power to try those unscientific things.
In fact, the narrative voice has been recorded and analyzed rigorously to find out the owner of the voice.
Of course, this is destined to be in vain, because the narrative voice is actually Lux's voice, and Lux also synthesized his voice through the system.
There are many cases like this in the world. Trying to find him through his voice is undoubtedly a foolish task.
As for why narration is needed, it's because if a lot of content is interpreted through pictures, then a lot of imagination is wasted, while narration can make the world understand the content of the pictures in the most economical way.
Again, Lux doesn't do this for fun, but to gather fantasy power.
In this case, it's natural to use the most efficient way to achieve the goal, and the original plot is magically modified for this purpose.
In fact, for humans, the fantasy power obtained from the light screen showing extraordinary power is much less than the fantasy power obtained from story-based content, the former obtains less than one-tenth of the latter.
Perhaps because the simple display of power is too dry. Although it will shock people, it doesn't leave a deep impression, so the benefits of storytelling content are much higher.
If this wasn't the case, Lux could make a bunch of videos specifically showing extraordinary power, so why is the magically modified Holy Grail War needed?
Who wants to work hard if they can make money just by lying down?
Of course, Lux doesn't deny that he has an element of enjoyment, but he's just going with the flow rather than taking the initiative to cause trouble.

The battle between Saber and Lancer begins.
In just one breath, the two Servants swing their spears and swords, and then the metal explodes. The ground beneath their feet is shattered or split, and the flat concrete floor turns into a hole in an instant.
Before and after, in less than five seconds, everyone is stunned.
Because they can't see clearly at all, only a few people dodge, the movements of the two have changed more than twenty times in a row. Only when they collide, the collision of the two causes their bodies to stop for a moment, causing a shock wave to surge, which is dizzying.
At this moment, countless mouths are open, because it's too fast and too shocking. The continuous sparks of metal splashing from the collision, as well as the flashes of light and shadows caused by the collision of weapons, all have an impact on the eyes of the world.
Especially if these scenes are all brought by real people, those scenes without any traces of editing or special effects will be very touching to everyone.
The sound of metal explosions like bombs, shattering people's worldviews and constantly refreshing mankind's concept of true transcendence.
It's not the greatness that exists in works of art like movies, TV dramas, and anime, but the greatness that truly exists in reality and shows its power in front of all mankind.
It's so amazing!
Mankind's desire for power and transcendence is ignited at this moment.
Therefore, a huge amount of fantasy power is continuously generated, which makes Lux very happy to see the fantasy power continuously increasing.
However, this kind of fantasy input cannot be sustained, and the intense battle will soon make people tired.
Therefore, the subsequent plot development must also be reversed so that the public can generate more fantasy.
In fact, on the light screen, it suddenly changed.
Come to the shadows on the other side of the port.
Here, the global audience sees Kiritsugu and Maiya, both wearing black clothes compared to when they first met.
It's just that Maiya is wearing a black night suit for easy movement, while Kiritsugu is wearing a black jacket.
The common feature of the two is that they each hold a sniper rifle.
In an instant, this painting style that doesn't match the Holy Grail War shocked the audience all over the world.
