The immortal death knight failed to achieve the ending of the heroic spirit

Chapter 498 The Savior and the Brave

The dust was billowing, and the gray smoke that had lost its golden light was falling slowly.

The black scales followed Menechel's palm and covered the blade of the Holy Sword of the Stars. The pure black snake scales expanded the knight's sword three times, completely transforming the Holy Sword of the Stars into one as wide as a person tall. The sword, the black sword and the black armor, combined with the rising blood mist, made Menechel look like a warrior who had just completed the great feat of slaying a dragon.

Artoria closed her eyes slightly. When she opened them again, behind her, golden light prisms bloomed in a fan-shaped circle. Her expression was completely restrained, and her eyes were unsmiling and plain, but it was enough to make those with evil intentions dare not look at them. . The red tassel flutters on the blue-gold staff of choice, which looks like a spear inserted upside down. The light of the staff of choice is even more shining against the golden edge of light behind it. The staff is horizontal, and its cross section cuts across the falling dust, only reflecting in the reflection. The moment it coincides with the real thing.

boom--

The wall surrounding the large cave roared, and countless cursed black hands stretched out from under the abyss to push the wall down, and the wave of curse set off by Cornunnos set off for the second time.

Menechel, who had been motionless just a moment ago, had already drawn red thunder in the roar, and the sword he raised smashed into smoke. The cursed black tide that covered every inch of the land steamed up a line of eye-catching lines under the burning of the red thunder. The white marks on his body moved forward as fast as a dragon out of the sea. In the blink of an eye, it had arrived at Artoria's side. Without any stored energy, the raised sword struck down with the force of a mountain, but before the move was completed, The moment before it turned into a bevel.

Boom!

With one sword strike, the black tide exploded
The pure black-scaled sword sank into the black tide. The cursed black water under the sword and the splashed soil under the black tide turned into mist and powder under the thunderous sword. The aftermath of the spreading magic turned the approaching black tide. The layers of waves rose up, and a three-foot-wide pit instantly exploded in the black tide. The squeezed curse immediately set off higher waves, which were flattened by another completely opposite wave of magic power before it could spread outward.

The curse that fell in mid-air was shattered into pieces, and was dispersed by the energy released before falling.

The huge black tide actually exploded a huge hole with Menechel as the center.

Watching Artoria falling as lightly as a fallen leaf dozens of meters away, Menechelle's eyes were filled with surprise. Artoria, who he thought was just a magician, actually showed good performance in close combat.

Just now, he made a brazen attack in an attempt to force out Artoria's defense, but the moment he approached, Artoria had already detonated magic power under her feet, and the out-of-control magic explosion injured Artoria's legs. At the same time, it also pushed her back quickly, avoiding the sword at an almost tricky angle, and her injured feet were healed by magic before landing.

Artoria inserted the chosen staff into the turbulent tide, and the golden light was hidden in the rolling tide, directly pulling out a five-foot-high wave on the sea. Faced with the raging wave of curses, Menechelle was not surprised. The big sword enveloped the air wave, and the red thunder contained it.

boom--

A flash of scarlet flashed, and the waves were cut off by the surging sword wind before they even got close, neatly split into two from the left and right sides.

But in the dispersed mist, a bit of golden light quietly emerged. With the help of the cover of the waves, Arturia had already walked close to Menechelle. She raised the staff of choice and pulled out the cold light, and used the staff as a spear to hit Menechiel's chest.

Clang——

Menechelle turned the sword and used the broad back of the sword to block the advancing tip of the staff.

Boom——

A shining golden stream of light erupted the moment the weapons connected. A zero-distance magic beam of light was released on the sword, but was absorbed by the black scales on the sword before it exploded.

This is the devouring ability of Jormungandr.

The momentum of magic power pushed Menechel's body, but it was blocked by the solid lower body. Menechelle looked at the face of Artoria who was so close.

"Sure enough, you can dodge my attacks just because you are familiar with my attack methods."

His dark red eyes reflected Artoria's surprised face. If he had acted according to his spiritual abilities, Menechelle would have relied on his powerful physique to receive Artoria's stabbing attack with his chest without dodging, and the subsequent transmitted beam would have been cut off in a short time. Break his magic circuit.

Menechel gave up the use of the heavy sword transmitted from his spirit base. He moved his right hand up to hold the back of the sword. The sudden shift of weight caused the great sword to tilt outward, while Menechel himself hid behind the sword and moved the sword. The front pushed towards Artoria.

Menechelle took half a step back with his left foot, giving him room to exert his force. The rushing air cut through the magic power, and the sword moved forward at a crazy speed and pressed down violently.

The horizontal staff blocked the pressure of the sword, but the trembling of the staff showed that Artoria was not relaxed at this time, but as a layer of blue-gold magic appeared on her body surface, it was moving towards her bit by bit. The cold light pressing against her face was lifted little by little.

But this was still not enough to eliminate the power gap between the two sides. At the moment when the distance between the two sides was widened, magic power exploded under Artoria's feet again. The wind pressure of the explosion crushed the black tide into a round moon-shaped groove, and pushed her body towards Then take it out.

But then the next sword struck again.

The curled sword blade stirred up the roaring wind.

And Menechel turned with the sword, but in an instant he was covered by the red sword light. The spiral energy turned into a continuous sword force, and the black tide was stirred into a vortex. If he was hit once, he would He fell completely into this continuous slashing attack until it was chopped into pieces.

Clang, Clang, Clang——

The sound of gold and iron clashing kept repeating. Arturia raised her staff to block it, and each time she narrowly missed the slashing blow.

Obviously she was at a disadvantage in terms of strength and movement speed, and she was constantly retreating after being hit. But every time Arturia just raised her staff lightly and clicked on the space, she could accurately move the weapon hidden in the bloody light. Click on the sword edge in the middle.

That effortless and understated look made people mistakenly think that it was Arturia who had the upper hand.

Swish!
The rotating sword light suddenly retreated on the way forward, and the half distance opened allowed Artoria to hit the empty space with the tip of her stick.

Before he could take back the Rod of Choice, a huge shadow had already hit him.

The terrifying energy contained in the heavy sword was directly vented on the ground.

The power of the sword thrust forward, splitting the black tide on both sides in an instant and spreading in a straight line.

Still unable to hit Arturia, Menechelle raised her head and looked at the girl who jumped into the air. She suddenly grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, and the sword glowed blood red at this time.

This time, Menechelle did not pursue him again. He looked at Artoria, who had nowhere to rely on. There was still no fear in his eyes, and there was even a hint of pity in his eyes.

For no reason, Menechelle panicked.

He recalled the several slashes that Artoria had blocked at will.

With every attack and every sword drop, Menechel felt as if his sword was first broken by an invisible sword, and then fell into an invisible wall of air, finally landing on Al. Tolia's sword power was perfect. ——What kind of magic is it?

Unbeknownst to Menechelle, electric arcs gradually began to pulse on his body, and he took the lead in using the Noble Phantasm, which was equivalent to admitting his failure in hand-to-hand combat.

The arc flashed several times and then suddenly became brighter. Excessive magic power poured into the sword under Menechel's active control.

This sword was a slash with the attribute of adhesion [undefendable]. Arturia, who had nowhere to escape in the air, could not survive it with her meager physical fitness.

"die!"

The sword was slashed out, and the raised sword was like a giant snake soaring into the sky under the influence of magic power. The thunder light was frightening. The dark sky and dense clouds were covered in large areas of red under the surging thunder snake.

Whether it is a magic barrier or a staff of choice to block it, it will be regarded as defense and ignored. Unable to dodge, there is only one thing Arturia can do——

——Launch a solemn defense!

Blood energy surged out of Menechelle's body and merged into the red sword. Menechelle's eyes were fixed on the sky.

What he is waiting for is solemn defense, and what he fears is nothing but solemn defense!
Artoria cannot use that kind of great magic continuously. As long as the opponent shows a tendency to project paradise, then Menechel's next sword will burn part of his own spiritual foundation.

It can be said that Artoria is dead.

The violent Razer has become the only source of light in this dark world. At this moment, it is the focus between heaven and earth. The scorching magic power intersects with each other, and the sharp-toothed thunder sweeps towards Artoria's whereabouts. , showing an almost eye-catching beauty.

The Razer made a crackling sound, but the world was extremely quiet.

hum-

Arturia folded her hands and held the staff of choice. The staff changed for the first time. Golden streams of light rushed out from bottom to top. The light edges behind her merged into the rising light spears. , letting the Chosen Staff burst out with a new brilliance.

'Are you planning to use magic power to detonate it before touching it? '

Watching this scene, Menechelle further intensified her efforts to accumulate magic power.

Click.

There was a cracking sound, which was Menechel's spiritual base calling the police.

'It's useless, your attack is also defense. '

Boom——

The Razer exploded, breaking through the thick clouds, and the bright red-gold light spread greedily to every corner.

slam-la-

Stimulated by the thunder, the black clouds that covered the sky actually started to rain cursed black rain.

Menechelle had to squint her eyes under the sudden increase in brightness and the endless curtain of rain. Soon, he caught a figure in the exploding light curtain.

The thunder snake exploded suddenly, and the person broke through the thunder without any hesitation and rushed out, leaving her unharmed.

The solemn defense has been used!

Menechelle's eyes brightened.

And above the sky, Arturia seemed to be aware of Menechelle's gaze, and her lips moved silently.

——"Don't you understand yet? Three against one."

This is the meaning of Arturia's lips.

Menechelle glanced at another place. Fujimaru Ritsuka was holding the unconscious Mashu without any movement. On the back of Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand, the only command spell that needed attention had already been used up.

He didn't understand what Artoria meant, and he didn't need to.

Because he had raised his sword again, facing the figure that had fallen in front of him:

"Pledge to liberate——"

Thunderclouds and blood energy obscured Menechel's entire sight, and he could only barely make out a vague figure in the extremely strong light.

In the air, Artoria also spoke at the same time. This time she was no longer muttering silently, but a sassy female voice sounded:
"The Sword of Hope that carries the long-cherished wish was converted from the Holy Spear to Excalibur——"

A female voice sang first: "Instead of the holy sword, pull out the anchor!"

The selected staff changed with the chanting, and the blue and gold lines spread all over the body, turning the staff into a holy spear of endless brilliance.

Only then could the sword be raised.

"——This is not a battle that violates the oath (to save the world)!"

　C-Dai's Noble Phantasm chant comes from the translation of C-Dai's Noble Phantasm. Why C-Dai doesn't use magic? Because Mina, who has anti-magic against Magic A and Demon Rice, can be immune to almost all magic.
