Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

However, after Kenneth sensed Hisa's approach using the perception magic he had just set up, he did not take the initiative to attack as he had guessed, nor did he openly stand in front of Hisa and give Hisa a chance to fire. Instead, he hid immediately and only sent four demonic wolves that he had just summoned with spirit summoning magic to intercept her.

This made Hisayu Maiya completely miserable!

This is completely different from the plan! Most importantly, the Origin Ejector is aimed at these dire wolves, so it shouldn't harm the magician himself, right?

Left with no other choice, she pulled out her two other Uzi submachine guns, which she was used to, and began to think quickly while dealing with the attacks of the dire wolves.

Summoning a demon wolf is one of the most common spirit-summoning spells among magicians. It's not particularly difficult for her to deal with, but the troublesome thing about this spell is that as long as the magician isn't defeated and the opponent still has magic power, the spell can keep summoning.

So the problem remains the same: she needs to find Kenneth.

Given the current situation, she is no longer sure if Kenneth is still in the suite he originally booked.

Even if she were there, she might have set up a bunch of magic traps waiting for her.

Unlike in the story, this time neither side had time to prepare, so in order to avoid Kenneth's magic trap, Kiritsugu Emiya simply used a bomb to blow up the building.

If she were to charge headlong into Kenneth's magic trap alone, she would most likely be killed.

If Kenneth is moved directly to a different room, the outcome would be even worse.

"So it would be best to lure Kenneth out."

Hisayuu Maiya remained expressionless, but a resolute glint flashed in her eyes, as if she had made a decision.

At this critical moment, she still believed in Kiritsugu Emiya's judgment of Kenneth.

So how do you get someone who was originally arrogant but has suddenly become cautious to abandon their caution and take the initiative to step forward?

There might be other ways, but the only one that Hisayu Mami can think of right now is to risk being seriously injured and on the verge of death to kill the four demonic wolves.

When Kenneth sees that she has completely lost her threat, perhaps out of a desire to conserve magic or out of a victor's mentality, he might come out and interrogate her about her origins before killing her himself.

That gave her the opportunity to hit Kenneth with the Origin Missile.

As long as the distance between them is close enough, even if she is seriously injured and on the verge of death, she is absolutely confident that she can hit Kenneth.

It must be said that although this plan is dangerous, it is the method with the highest success rate at present.

Without any hesitation, Hisayu Mami began to suppress her own strength to fight the demonic wolf. Soon, several wounds appeared on her body, cut by the demonic wolf's claws. Although they were not deep, they were bloody and looked very frightening.

Meanwhile, Scheherazade, who had already arrived at the battlefield, had also approached Iskandar.

Chapter 179 A Wasted Performance

"Rider! Watch out! Caster is here!"

On the speeding wheels of the divine vehicle, Weber, barely suppressing the urge to vomit, hurriedly spoke up to warn them.

Iskandar, who had been laughing heartily at teasing Gilgamesh, suddenly became serious upon hearing this, his smile fading as he turned away.

Although he had already learned about Scheherazade's identity, origins, unique skills, and Noble Phantasm from Kitagawa Yu on his way from leaving the airport to Einzbern Castle.

But he was dismayed to find that even if he knew, it seemed to be of no use.

Scheherazade's charm spell was only effective on men, but its level was so high that even if he was on guard, he couldn't resist it at all.

Furthermore, if the target is the King rank, you can get a huge bonus, and the effect can be multiplied several times, which is really a great counter to him.

Scheherazade also possesses a unique skill called 'Heroic Tale' that grants her the Guts buff and directly reduces the target's King's attack power by 50%, with a level as high as EX.

This forced him to abandon his plan to directly rely on his familiar's guidance to forcefully activate his Noble Phantasm 'Distant Devastation and Domination' and smash Scheherazade to death after discovering her. He had to come up with another plan.

Fortunately, Scheherazade's charm spell can only charm men, and its range is not very far.

This gave him the opportunity to operate.

"Understood! Investigate further! Report back!"

As he spoke, Iskandar closed his eyes, and at the same time, the blue and white lightning surrounding the Divine Wheel surged, making it look from a distance like a giant ball of lightning enveloped in blinding white light.

Waver, who was caught in the middle, remained unaffected, continuing to keep his head down and determine Scheherazade's location by monitoring the familiar's perspective.

At this moment, Scheherazade remained in its spirit form in order to quickly approach Iskandar.

In this state, she is unable to use her inherent skills, including charm spells, or her Noble Phantasms.

"They're here! At five o'clock—"

About two seconds later, Weber suddenly shouted loudly.

Almost at the same time, Iskandar suddenly opened his eyes and activated his Noble Phantasm, Army of the King, directly pulling the entire area where Scheherazade was located, as indicated by Waver, into his mental world.

At the same time, in the vast world of images of Huangshan, tens of thousands of heroic spirits who had already received orders and were waiting for a long time also fired the arrows that had been fully charged in their hands.

In an instant, black arrows rained down like a storm, heading straight for Scheherazade, who had just been pulled into the mental world and was somewhat bewildered.

Fortunately, Scheherazade, though not a combat-savvy Heroic Spirit, reacted quickly, immediately dispelling his spirit form and launching an attack on Heroic Tales.

The next second, the raging rain of arrows shattered the spherical shield that Kenneth had given her, which was automatically activated by the Moon Spirit Elixir, and directly triggered her willpower state.

It must be said that Scheherazade is far too one-sided as a caster.

If Gildre from the original Fourth World War or Medea from the Fifth World War had been brought in at this time, Iskandar's plan would undoubtedly have failed.

Gildre's summoned sea monster had such incredible regenerative power that even if Iskandar had poured tens of thousands of his Heroic Spirits into it, he wouldn't have been able to inflict any fatal damage on the sea monster. Instead, he would have been devoured by it.

Medea, on the other hand, possesses the magical skill of teleportation.

Unless an attack is so fast that she can't react at all, it's very difficult for it to hit her. That's why she dares to openly fight other Heroic Spirits head-on.

The Heroic Spirit Legion within Iskandar's mental world has no skills or Noble Phantasms, only basic attributes. The arrows they shoot cannot receive any skill or Noble Phantasm bonuses; they are just ordinary arrows.

While the speed is indeed astonishing to ordinary people, against Medea, Medea has plenty of time to teleport away.

Unfortunately, the caster that descended this time was Scheherazade, so Iskandar's unethical tactic succeeded.

While the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid offers decent defense, it's not enough to completely block the rain of arrows fired by tens of thousands of heroic spirits.

However, Scheherazade would not sit idly by and wait for its doom.

Seeing the tens of thousands of heroic spirits opposite him once again drawing their bows and nocking their arrows in unison, Scheherazade's expression changed, and he hurriedly activated his Noble Phantasm, One Thousand and One Nights, at the fastest speed.

"The pursuit is for the next night, and then the pursuit of the next night begins again."

A mesmerizing purple light, like a dream, emanated from Scheherazade, bringing forth countless characters who originally existed only in stories, including Aladdin, the Forty Thieves, and even the Genie of the Lamp, to life and launch an attack on the army of heroes.

In an instant, hundreds and thousands of heroic spirits fell like wheat being harvested.

Indeed, within Iskandar's army of kings, there were several Servants with higher stats than him, but those Servants generally became kings later on, and were then countered by Scheherazade's Noble Phantasm.

Those who did not become kings, although not restrained, had only average attributes and were no match for the attacks from the characters in One Thousand and One Nights.

The Genie's final attack, in particular, was like dropping a mushroom bomb.

A massive mushroom cloud billowed up, carrying yellow sand, and rose five or six hundred meters high! With just this one strike, at least three thousand heroic spirits were reduced to ashes.

Including attacks from other characters in the previous story, Scheherazade's One Thousand and One Nights has killed a total of 5000 Heroic Spirits, which is already the limit for capturing a single enemy Noble Phantasm.

But Scheherazade's expression did not relax at all; instead, it became even more somber.

Because there are still over 40,000 remaining heroic spirits!

If we calculate based on 5000 damage per Noble Phantasm, she would need to activate her Noble Phantasm at least nine more times!

Where did she get so much blue?!

Even if Kenneth charges her with Command Spells, she can only unleash them a maximum of four more times.

Clearly, relying solely on Noble Phantasms was insufficient to break the current predicament. This forced Scheherazade to charge headlong into the tens of thousands of Heroic Spirits on the opposite side.

The scene was exactly like in the original story, when Iskandar, the last person on horseback, resolutely charged towards Gilgamesh.

It's so tragic.

But compared to Iskandar at that time, she was not yet completely in dire straits.

Her charm spell has no limit on the number of casters, so as long as she gets close enough to cast it, she can charm everyone who sees her and thus raise an army herself to engage in legion battles with the enemy.

Iskandar had actually anticipated this.

But even if he had foreseen it, what could he do? He had no good solutions and could only continue to wear himself down.

Scheherazade can only charm the one or two hundred Heroic Spirits who can see her at a time; the other Heroic Spirits can still unleash a rain of arrows, covering Scheherazade and the charmed Heroic Spirits together.

Although cruel, this was a sacrifice that had to be made.

Moreover, these people are just Heroic Spirits; when they die, they simply return to the Throne of Heroes, not that they truly die.

Scheherazade quickly noticed Iskandar's strategy and felt helpless about it. She could only control the bewitched Servants wave after wave, forming a human wall to help her withstand the rain of arrows.

But how can one or two hundred people withstand a rain of arrows fired by tens of thousands?

Each wave of arrows would pierce through the human wall, then break through the defense automatically formed by the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid, ultimately forcing her to add another layer of magic shield to herself.

However, this caused her magic power to be depleted even more severely. After all, both the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid and the magic shield required magic power to activate.

Including the cost of activating her Noble Phantasm earlier, and after enduring only two more waves of arrows, she had to contact Kenneth and have him use a Command Spell to replenish her mana.

Iskandar, on the other hand, has it much easier.

His royal army is maintained by the heroic spirits within him, and it is the magical power of these heroic spirits that is consumed, so the consumption on him is almost negligible.

This makes it difficult for Scheherazade to win in a battle of attrition. Despite being extremely effective against Iskandar, she finds herself at a significant disadvantage.

"Damn it! Is that guy really a Rider?!"

"His Noble Phantasm can summon tens of thousands of familiars? Even a mage couldn't do that!"

"Is it reasonable for a Rider to possess such a Noble Phantasm?!"

After receiving a telepathic message from Scheherazade and learning about the battle, Kenneth couldn't help but curse loudly.

Generally speaking, this type of summoning Noble Phantasm should indeed appear on the Caster class, as most Rider Noble Phantasms are anti-army type.

If that's the case, Scheherazade, with her EX-rank One Thousand and One Nights, wouldn't be afraid to clash with the opponent's Noble Phantasm even without the advantage of being countered by the King attribute.

But Iskandar is an outlier, after all.

Summoning-type Noble Phantasms are one thing, but the sheer number of them is just insane.

Despite his complaints, Kenneth didn't dare delay and activated the Command Spell as quickly as possible to restore Scheherazade's depleted mana.

They've already fought to this point, even if they lose, let alone turn the tide, he doesn't want to make Webber look bad!

“Caster! In the name of the Command Spell, I command you to make Waver and Rider pay a heavy price!” Kenneth said through gritted teeth.
