Snippet #2743663

Akira jumped up and moved around as the Minotaur took its battleaxe and swung it around to behead Akira. As a Castor, even thoug hhe was a servant his agility was not exceptional and the axe cut straight through him...only, it appeared as if the axe dispersed a shadow. Akira meanwhile appeared behind the Minotaur, and drove a spike of ice into the Minotaur. It swung it's axe around again, but once again it cut through a shadow as Akira froze its legs into the ground to prevent it from moving. The Minotaur let out a roar like shockwave as it swung around violently, and forced Akira back towards Oda for once.

It seemed that Akira, among the normal basic magic that would be expected, had a habit of using illusion and spacial magic. He seemed to have quite the tricky fighting style, much more cunning then what one would expect from a Caster.

"Well you can have it!"

Akira really had no interest in the Grail, however...

"Though, just gotta know...do you even know where the Grail is? I cant sense it or a connection to it at all!"

Servants often had the ability to sense the Grail at least, so that if it got buried accidentally in some battle it could be found, or if it got randomly stolen by some thief, or some flying fortress, they would be able to find it. Since, it would be really bad if the Grail got lost or misplaced during a Grail War. It would lead to A LOT of angry Servants, usually, which would never end well.

The Minotaur was hit several times, but it really did not want to go down. It even finally managed to break out of the spell and charged towards them.

"I see...well, we really cant risk this battle drawing any more attention. Shall we finish this up quickly before things get out of hand...Activate Noble Phantasm: Fool's Luck!"

And then, luck for Akira, Oda, and the Minotaur would begin to go under some very drastic changes.
