Type-Moon, joins the Lion King at the beginning.

Chapter 42: Fierce Battle
This was a fight that made Li Ye's blood boil.

Li Ye was amazed by Vlad III's spear skills. He was indeed a former hero and his martial arts were beyond Li Ye's reach.

Now all Li Ye can rely on is the huge enhancement generated by the infinite magic power of the Holy Grail to fight against Vlad III.

Even so, Li Ye was still immersed in it.

The high-intensity fighting allowed Li Ye to gain a lot of experience, and Li Ye could feel his own progress almost every moment!
Li Ye's 'Sword' can be even faster and more accurate!

Li Ye's use of magic can be even more perfect!

Click!

The iron stake broke under the weight, leaving Li Ye without the weapon to fight against Vlad III.

But for Li Ye, it is no longer an obstacle!
Since you don't have a sword, use your fists!
A knight never dies empty-handed!

clang!
As the battle continued, Li Ye's injuries became more and more serious. Vlad III's exquisite spear skills left many injuries on Li Ye's body. The curse contained in it would erupt from time to time, hindering Li Ye's movements and causing him to suffer new injuries again!
This seems to form a vicious circle.

But Li Ye's progress is also significant. From being unable to cope with the curse in the beginning, he has now adapted to the existence of the curse and has made an effective counterattack against Vlad III's attack!
Although Vlad III's physical toughness was beyond Li Ye's imagination, every punch he threw at Vlad III, even if Vlad III was forced to retreat repeatedly, never showed any obvious injuries on him!
Even the armor was only slightly dented.

Li Ye became more and more excited about this. He eagerly absorbed the battle experience with Vlad III.

Gun skills, countermeasures against curses, and hand-to-hand combat.

The scene of fighting with the nameless servant seemed to be staged again, but Li Ye's state of mind was completely different. At this time, Li Ye was enjoying the battle very much.

Only by fighting with the strong can Li Ye make full progress!
As Li Ye's injuries increased, the dragon blood in his body became more excited and active.

The pervasive dragon might even permeated the sandstorm!

What Li Ye didn't notice was that his already graying hair was also gradually changing.

Power continued to grow, and the magic power pumped out from the heart of the Dragon Furnace became faster and more efficient.

It’s like it’s really transformed into a dragon!
Boom!

The violent explosion raised a large amount of yellow sand, completely submerging Li Ye and Vlad III.

The appearance of a strange source of magic power attracted Li Ye's attention.

He sensed Sanzang's spiritual reaction near the source of magic power!
'Who is Sanzang fighting?'

The view was covered by the dust. Not only could Li Ye not see what was happening to Sanzang, but even the figure of Vlad III disappeared from his sight. He could only determine his position through the fluctuations of magic power.

But Vlad III obviously would not stop his offensive. He quickly rushed out of the dust and started fighting with Li Ye again!

The two men fought for hundreds of meters without stopping, and the aftermath of the battle even caused the yellow sand to overturn!

Every punch Li Ye threw landed on Vlad III's armor, and he actually smashed more than half of the armor into pieces!

puff!

A puff of blood mist bloomed.

Li Ye and Vlad III crossed each other's paths, and a cloud of blood mist burst out from both of them.

It turned out that both sides were injured in this confrontation!

Li Ye broke Vlad III's defense with just his bare hands!
The remarkable results made Li Ye smile even more.

As the battle continued, Li Ye kept reducing the use of the Holy Grail's magic. He no longer relied on absolute strength to overwhelm the opponent. He relied on his own magic to practice more correct ways of using it.

Apparently his results worked!

boom!
When Li Ye avoided Vlad III's gunshot, he faced Vlad III head-on with a punch.

The resulting recoil even caused both parties to fly backwards!

boom! !

The roar sounded again, and the violent fluctuations made Li Ye look sideways.

In the distance, a figure wrapped in thick smoke passed through the sky.

It was Sanzang flying backwards!
Li Ye, who was already retreating, paused without thinking, and decisively broke free from his inertia and rushed towards Sanzang.

【Thunderbolt】

The red lightning flashed across the sky and approached the high-speed moving Sanzang in an instant!

"Master Sanzang!"

Li Ye grabbed Sanzang's hand, twisted his body, and threw it towards Vlad III!
"give it to me!"

The voices of Li Ye and Sanzang sounded at the same time, and their opponents officially exchanged.

When Sanzang drew the firepower of Vlad III, Li Ye also officially came into contact with the magician he had been thinking about.

The sand dunes were covered with the corpses of huge chimeras, and in addition, the sand dunes were covered with white bones. Countless dragon tooth soldiers were smashed, leaving only white bones on the ground.

Standing under the black robe in the sky is a pair of long snow-white legs.

'? '

Li Ye looked up at the magician and subconsciously took a breath of cold air.

"I didn't expect the magician of the Crusaders to be such a guy. Is Maggie Friedman dead?"

"Oh? How did you know about Maggie Freedman's death?"

As if hearing an unexpected topic, the magician in the sky looked at Li Ye in surprise: "It seems that the curse you used killed Maggie Friedman."

'Really dead?'

Li Ye was not surprised to hear the news of Maggie Friedman's death. This was within his expectations. Instead, it was the magician in the sky who made Li Ye

"How many of you are there?"

Once at Aleka, once when he first met Sanzang, and once again this time.

Li Ye didn’t even know whether these remnants of the Crusaders were actually remnants. How come their number was greater than that of the Knights of the Round Table?

Especially when he found that the other party was still able to summon heroic spirits freely, Li Ye began to worry whether the remnants of the Crusaders had performed multiple summons?

Even if most of the Heroic Spirits will not respond to the call, as long as there are some exceptions, the remnants of the Crusaders can replenish their combat power.

Not to mention the life magic possessed by the remnants of the Crusaders, which can create artificial life or stitched beasts Chimera on a large scale.

Even though he knew that Maggie Friedman was dead, Li Ye didn't think that the remnants of the Crusaders would lose their life magic. The dragon-headed chimera he saw when he first met Sanzang was the best proof of this.

There was also the mysterious curse magician, whose true form Li Ye had not yet seen. Li Ye also did not know what faction the magician in the sky belonged to.

However, judging from her battle with Sanzang, she should be a magician who controls her familiars to fight.

"So much nonsense, hand over the Holy Grail."

The magician seemed unwilling to communicate too much with Li Ye, as if the exchange between Li Ye and Sanzang was unimportant. He just casually asked Li Ye to hand over the Holy Grail.

Hearing this, Li Ye also gave up the communication.

He finally realized that this group of Crusader magicians did not seem to be affected by the frenzy, but none of them wanted to communicate normally with others.

boom!
As red lightning appeared, Li Ye bent his feet, jumped high up, and rushed towards the magician in the sky!
next moment.

Dozens of light patterns unfolded in the sky, and the gathered magic power even made Li Ye stunned.

The obvious charging magic bullet——

‘! ’

But Li Ye was unable to change his position at this time and could only rush forward!

boom!
The top-down bombardment directly interrupted Li Ye's momentum, knocking Li Ye down from the sky and even pressing him into the yellow sand!
The intensive bombardment lasted for nearly ten seconds before it finally stopped.

I saw a circular deep pit appearing where Li Ye was, and in the center of the pit was Li Ye who was suppressed by the artillery fire.

'High-density bombardment, very powerful.'

At this moment, Li Ye only felt his head buzzing. He was hit by at least hundreds of artillery shells in these ten seconds. Although the power was not enough to cause obvious injuries, there was still an impact.

'No wonder Sanzang got beaten like this'

Li Ye looked up at the magician in the sky and suddenly lost interest.

At this time, Liyeben was in the middle of a battle with Vlad III. It was only after seeing Sanzang being knocked away that he came up with the idea of ​​an exchange. He did not expect that this magician would be so difficult to deal with.

‘Tsk’

Li Ye took a step forward with an expressionless face.

【Thunderbolt】

The red lightning was like a ring, instantly surrounding the yellow sand within a radius of one kilometer!

Just when Vlad III and Tripitaka were in a stalemate.

"Eh!"

Sanzang looked behind Vlad III in surprise.

A touch of red approaches——

"Behind you!"

Distracted by the sound and blood behind him, the frantic Vlad III subconsciously turned his body.

stab-

The red lightning continued to surge. Li Ye lowered his body and pulled back his right arm, but his eyes met Vlad III's gaze.

【Thunderbolt】

Using excess magic power as a driving force, it performs an excessive enhancement similar to jet propulsion, and the resulting huge force even makes the atmosphere roar!

A punch was thrown out and landed steadily on Vlad III's broken breastplate.

The burst of red lightning is proof of absolute power!

Boom! !
Vlad III's figure disappeared instantly, and the strong wind that followed swept up the sand waves, forming an ever-extending gully!

After a successful attack, Li Ye was about to strike while the iron was hot, and said quickly: "Master Sanzang, I'll leave the magician to you!"

"It's so boring to fight with her—"

"Hey! All right then!"

Sanzang didn't understand why, but he turned and rushed towards the magician who was approaching from a distance.

After Sanzang was far away from this place, Li Ye also rushed north and knocked Vlad III away.

But before Li Ye got close, he sensed an unusually high fluctuation of magical power!

"Noble Phantasm?!"

Seeing Vlad III's magic power surge, Li Ye's pupils shrank, and he immediately said excitedly: "Are you coming?!"

Anti-army Noble Phantasm: "Strike the Fortress"!
"The manifestation of Hell is a worthy reward for immorality! The Spiked Stronghold!"

Vlad III roared out the true name of the Noble Phantasm.

In an instant, iron stakes appeared like a forest.

Li Ye was attacked from all directions, trying to penetrate Li Ye in one fell swoop!
Facing Vlad III's treasure, the dragon heart in Li Ye's body beat wildly and adrenaline was secreted crazily, making Li Ye's spirit even higher!

When faced with a Servant using a Noble Phantasm, the best countermeasure is to use the same Noble Phantasm yourself.

Li Ye did not use the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, which was also his trump card, but instead took another approach.

Use the simplest magic to release it and confront the treasure "Spiked Fortress" head-on!
Although Li Ye's current magic power release limit is far from enough to confront the enemy's treasure "Spiked Fortress", Li Ye adopted a more extreme way to release magic power.

What allowed Li Ye to learn this method was the Ruyi Jingu Bang!
His whole body seemed to be in a violent beating. With every beat of the dragon's heart, in just a short moment, it pumped out terrifying magic power that was several times that of Li Ye!

Li Ye could feel the surging vitality contained in this body!

At this moment, he will never retreat!

"The outcome will be decided with this strike!"

Li Ye was seen pressing one hand on the ground, and the terrifying magic power that was compressed to the last level blasted directly into the yellow sand beneath him!

stab.

Under the vast yellow sand, a vast red ocean seemed to have formed!
puff!

As blood splattered, black iron stakes pierced through Li Ye's limbs and torso!
So the defense was broken in an instant, and the special force attached to the iron stake made Li Ye feel endless pain!

The crimes of "escape", "immorality" and "violence" are now all directed at Li Ye!
Almost at the same time.

The earth melted, and the dazzling lightning tree grew in the wind. Every drooping branch was a highly concentrated red lightning. The terrifying heat that could melt gold and iron was contained in this lightning tree that was tens of meters high!
