Chapter 10: A Sharp Rain under Yggdrasil's Shadow

------------------------------------------------------

3rd Person PoV

Monday / Park / Night

The two groups were at a safe distance from their members as to not get in the way, surprisingly the park had enough space for them to be at whatever distance from one another they needed to be. Caster and Saber had engaged into their close range battle that Saber- despite having a disadvantage on number of weapons -he was holding his ground quite well, could even say he was overpowering Caster even with his dexterity wielding dual swords

Caster: "I expected no less from a Servant of the Saber class, i might outnumber you but you can still keep up!" Said with a smile the Caster, the battle was really even, though the odds weren't exactly at his favor

Saber: "You're being modest, i just fought thousands of demons back-to-back in my past life, and you're not a Saber to use two swords...if anything i should be complimenting you"

For a Caster Servant he was doing a good job in a sword fight, their swords clashed with each other with such speed and precision it was hard to tell which one would come on top

Saber: "Though i must say, you're not a swordsman, there must be a reason for why you're a Caster shouldn't there?" That was his main concern, for a Caster he fought well with swords, but usually they required of Magecraft to battle at full power

Caster: "That's the thing, what fun is there to reveal your tricks at the start of the battle?"

Saber: "Might be true. Then i'll have to force you to use your full power!"

The katana began to glow letting outbursts of white energy with each collision, forcing Caster to back away with each attack that he successfully blocked. In one of the last attacks Caster covered himself with his arm, a shield deploying infront of him from his arm to parry the slash and ram at Saber with it, pushing him away to get some distance

Saber: "Shields too? Well now" The shield returned back, being the same that helped Kazuki block his Noble Phantasm a moment earlier

Caster: "I'm a dog of many tricks, didn't settle with just one or two weapons" The swords in his hands vanished into portals, taking from one of them a single sword of a peculiar shape, it didn't seem to have any kind of special energy in it though

Saber: "I'm not out of tricks either, this should be fun" He lifted the katana up to his neck's height, charging at Caster to continue their encounter

On the opposite side of the field were waiting a speared kid and a bowman standing infront of the great tree that acts as his Noble Phantasm, they waited for one another to attack and realize the first move so they could counter

Archer: "So, Lancer? Thinking of giving up?" Tried mocking the Archer extending his arms to the sides

Lancer: "Hmm...i was just analyzing the defenses from part of your roots, now that i got it i hope you don't mind me doing the first move"

Archer: "Go on, it's about time..."

Lancer: "'kay"

In a flash, the Lancer vanished from plain sight with a speed much more increased than last time he fought, practically teleporting through the field and surprising the Archer by the sudden disappearance

Lancer: "Above!" Gave a warning the Lancer falling with his spear pointed to Archer, the spear that he had been given by Caster was saved in his sleeve to fight with just one spear
