Chapter 13

Techno awoke to see a face looking down on him. Kiyohime stared intently at her master's sleeping face, honestly it was quite cute. It's hard to think that this cute face was the very same that the master of caster talked about.

Techno got up and didn't even question it, he just got up and went to check out his surroundings. Itachi appeared in the kitchen making bacon and eggs.

Techno sat down as they looked at each other. "We need to start today and get rid of the excess servants before the start of the 5th Grail War."

Itachi nodded as he put his own thoughts "After that we should locate the source of the fate deviations before taking out the being corrupting the grail even though it would change fate itself. Though it does seem Alaya wants the thing gone as soon as possible even if it means fate deviation."

Techno thought about it for a bit. "Agreed let's just search for the easiest one first, Archer."

They both agreed as they exited the house and followed an arrow provided by Alaya's input.

The arrow continued leading them into a forest as a small hut appeared. Kiyohime was even more surprised when her master pulled out a sword, when caster's master had told her that Techno had slayed a dragon she assumed it was with mage craft. Yet her master pulled out a sword? Humans can not go up against servants.

Kiyohime prepared to engage in battle until Techno swung his sword in front of Kiyohime's face as a spark of ember appeared, a clang caused Kiyohime to look at the ground. There laid a bullet cut in half. Kiyohime cursed herself for being caught off guard at a gun.

The figure slowly came out of the hut as Kiyohime sharpened her senses as she got ready for any type of weapon.

Techno charged at the figure as Itachi backed him up. Kiyohime went with Techno while caster backed her up.

Light hit the figure as he had extremely short white hair with golden eyes and carried two guns, one was black with hexagonal patterns and the other was white.

Archer shot at them a bit more before giving up on ranged weapons as Techno deflected and cut every single bullet coming his way.

He charged at Techno however was blocked by a giant fireball. Itachi gave a nod as Techno did the same. Itachi's eyes morphed into the mangekyō sharingan as black flames slowly pushed Archer back to the entrance of the hut.

Blood leaked out of Itachi's eyes as Tamamo rushed to help her master. Itachi just shrugged it off and told her it was a side effect. Techno narrowed his eyes as he pulled out a little cube that was white and red with the words "TNT" on it. He placed his sword near the fuse as he lit it using fire aspect.

Archer wondered what the little block was as it headed over to the window.

Techno threw the little block as it enlarged the moment it hit the ground as it stuck there. Archer's eyes widened as he saw the word "TNT"

"Rho Aias!"

Techno watched as a pink flower bloomed in the hut. It was definitely not enough, "Kiyohime" Kiyohime nodded after hearing her name. Itachi looked surprised as Kiyohime released a breath of fire at the hut.

Flames crackled and licked the hut as it slowly burned down revealing a worn and injured Archer. Itachi nodded as he and Tamamo started throwing spells and jutsu at Archer. Archer saw Kiyohime so he decided to attack the one without a master.

Wait no master?

*Shick*

Archer looked around and found a crystal blade piercing through his spirit core. Archer in a last attempt tried to swing at Techno only for him to lean back and stab the sword into his neck.

Archer faded away into motes of light as Techno walked back to the others. "We've only got two more days before the grail war starts. We need to kill four more servants before fate is on track again."

"We need to hurry. We can only relax a bit after we set fate back again."

Itachi nodded in agreement as Techno inputted the next target.

[Lancer has been located. Follow the arrow]

Techno and Itachi rushed towards the direction the arrow was pointing at. Kiyohime and Tamamo simply followed their masters as they astralised.

The arrow eventually led them to a worn down castle that was abandoned. Techno looked as the arrow disappeared "Lancer is definitely here."

Techno asked Kiyohime to set the castle on fire while caster and Itachi used fire spells and jutsu.

The flame climbed all the way up to the top of the castle as a dark silhouette appeared behind the burning flames.

It was a female, she wore silver armour with blue accents on it as she held a lance that was emitting holy energy.

Techno narrowed his eyes as the knight? spoke out "If you wish to fight to the death then the battle must be one on one."

Techno sighed as he would do it.

Kiyohime simply gave up on trying to hold him back as she did see her master kill an Archer class servant with seemingly no problems.

Lancer narrowed her eyes as she prepared for anything. The man in front of her was clearly a master but he was more dangerous than his own servant.

Techno cleaned his ears as the voices all yelled.

"Blood!"

"F"

"Blood for the Blood God!"

"Kill"

"Bad Lion"

"Dead Lion"

Techno's red eyes gleamed as he looked at Lancer. His hand opened as his diamond sword materialised in his hand before he felt the familiar weight.

Lancer also got ready as she held up her lance. Lancer made the first move as she charged forward and seemingly arrived in front of Techno in no time. The lance slowly closed in on Techno's face as he grinned by throwing a pearl behind his back as he reappeared out of harms way.

Techno had an adaptation style of fighting where he could adapt to any situation. Lancer stared at Techno before engaging in combat once again.

Techno jumped high into the air as a lance pierced the air where his previous spot was. Lancer got ready to skewer Techno as he fell down, Kiyohime watched as her master faced one of the three knight classes with seemingly close calls.

Another pearl hit Lancer as Techno reappeared in front of her as he kicked her back a few meters.

Techno blinked and saw that a Lance headed straight for his head. He grinned only to realise that he had forgotten to purchase more pearls. Lancer smiled knowing that she had won.

She saw Techno fumble for what she supposed was the pearl that teleported him to it. She paid no heed as he would have no time.

Kiyohime watched in shock as her master's head and body were left with two holes.

Blood splattered Kiyohime's face while Itachi grimaced, Tamamo cringed as she had seen an allied master receive two large holes.

Techno's body had a large hole which pierced his stomach while his face was gone only a hole was left.

Kiyohime was shocked that her master had just died.

A gasp left her mouth as she wiped her hand on the blood before looking at it.

"He's dead"
