Reincarnated As A Servant - Chapter 2
ight after the words ‘I’m not afraid of anything’ and analyzing the Greek carriage, I decided to summon my mount because my master said not to worry about consuming prana, and I didn’t want to have to be with another man in that small carriage.
{“dewch ataf”} (come to me)
{“marchog anorchfygol mownt.”} (mount of the invincible knight)
{“Powis!!!”}
as soon as I finished, immediately the shadows around me came together and became my loyal old horse, he was a huge horse even for the species itself, when I was still alive I had the opportunity to see Powis take down a bull, Powis it was the first gift I received from Arturia and for that reason, it was one of my most valuable treasures so it made it part of my Noble Phantasm, and obviously, its power was high enough to qualify as rank C Noble Phantasm
“ready buddy?”
Powis gave a strong neighing which I think meant he was ready.
I climbed on his back and put my hand on his head where was located a circle of runes of a spell that would help me in the current situation, injecting my prana with the spell was activated almost instantly, the wind around us surrounded and a pair of wind wings formed in Powis, the spell would last about an hour, hopefully enough to go and eliminate Berserk.
“haha, good thing you have a horse, I wasn’t exactly excited to have a man glued to me in the carriage”.
“Hum, don’t worry Rider, the feeling is reciprocal.”
heroics spirits humans who returned from death by the grail in search of the fulfillment of their most intimate dėsɨrės, everyone had something to dėsɨrė, regrets to be resolved, lives to be saved or destroyed… but I had nothing.
I had nothing to wish for, naturally, I had regrets, I wish I hadn’t killed the three holy dragons, I wish I had been a good father went to Mordred and maybe her betrayal could have been avoided, I wish I dared to tell Arturia that I loved her, I wish I never got that shield, I wish I could have managed to further ease Arturia burden, and it was what all this was, regrets that will never be undone and should not be because when trying to fix them new regrets would be made and an endless cycle would be generated.
while thinking suddenly I heard a familiar noise ….. a noise of an arrow being released and before I knew it I saw my left hand holding an arrow inch from my eye, I immediately jumped from the back of Powis and invoked my helmet.
as I fell I could see a woman in the middle of the trees who seemed to have cat ears and most importantly, there was a bow in her hand, so as soon as my legs touched the ground I immediately gathered all the prana I could and directed it to my legs and I propelled myself forward, and in less than a second, I was in front of her with my hand’s inches from her fragile neck that I could crush just by closing my fingers.
but before I could break that fragile neck, I felt something push me to the left side, deviating completely from the route and as I was in midair I ended up meeting several trees on the way that ended up helping me to stop and not moving too far from the goal, and looking to the right to see what or who had hit me, and to my great surprise, the one who hit me was the Rider.
and from the way, the Rider looked at her, I could then ȧssume that the enemy used a powerful ability to seduce because Rider seemed to have fallen very easily, against such ability to seduce the Idea would cut off the senses of sight, hearing, and smell but there was the problem of dealing with the Rider together, hopefully, if I killed what appeared to be the enemy Archer, maybe Rider’s mind would go out of seduction if it didn’t then Rider would have to be killed.
“calm down my partner, all this is just a misunderstanding, the lady here is called Atalanta and is our ally.”
Her said were of a person with a controlled mind, and even Rider said that I could see that the supposed Archer with the supposed name Atalanta still pointed an arrow in my direction and even for me who possessed invulnerability those arrows seemed especially dangerous, normally I would not respond to an enemy but I needed another minute or two to gather enough prana to summon my Noble Phantasm.
“hey, noble Miss Atalanta, did you shoot that arrow?”
“I didn’t shoot the arrow, so I swear on the name of the goddess Artemis.”
there was determination in his animalistic eyes, and knowing the story of Atalanta, I knew that such a promise was quite serious which only increased the credibility of his promise, I also knew that any true hero took honor and promises quite to the extreme but was not yet enough for me so I couldn’t help directing my gaze to Rider, Rider sighed because he knew what I wanted.
“Your turn, Rider, swear that you haven’t spoken a lie so far, swear on what matters most to you.”
As soon as I finished speaking, Rider looked extremely serious, quite the opposite of what seemed to be the extroverted face he kept when we met.
“I, Achilles, swear on behalf of Peleus, my father.”
I was taken aback by the identity of the Rider, Achilles the Greek demigod who possessed invulnerability that made him invincible on the battlefield, who ended up being killed due to his excessive confidence in his invulnerability.
“very well Lancer, your turn, swear that you will never attack us unless ordered to do so, swear by what is most important to you.”
the supposed Archer spoke after lowering the arrow his bow with a smug smile, there was no way to refuse it, not after I asked Achilles to do the same, if I didn’t I would have to be content to face Atalanta, a woman known for sailing with the Argonauts, just as Achilles the invulnerable Greek demigod would have to face, and even though he knew his weakness did not make the fight even easier when the person in question was faster than me.
“I, Arthur, solemnly swear never to harm any of my allies until it is an order, I swear it on behalf of my king, Arturia Pendragon, the only and great king under Britain.”
“Atalanta, where’s Berserk?” I asked Archer with cat ears.
“Keep straight for about seven hundred meters and you will find Berserk along with the Lancer of black and the caster of black, if you can’t deal with the two of you leave, Rider and I will distract the approaching servants.”
Immediately after Atalanta’s words, I moved forward towards my goal, but as I moved forward I started channeling prana to invoke the sword that I never used in my life.
{“Answer the king’s call”}
{“Radiant and brilliant royal sword”}
{“Clarent!!!”}
with the end of the summon, Clarent appeared in the moment for me to cut the arrow coming towards me, and with the amplification provided by Clarent, my speed probably compared to that of the Rider, so it was not surprising when in less than two seconds I managed to see two servants and a ball of earth, obviously without thinking too much I put all the prana I had achieved in the few minutes I talked with Atalanta and Achilles, stopped my body, got up Clarent and injected the collected prana, if before Clarent was brilliant, now it shone as brightly as a star, obviously the two servants noticed, but it was too late, without hesitating, I lowered the sword.
{“Clarent Pure Blood!!!”}.
