Arknights' Lock of Heaven

Da, da, da, da…

The footsteps that seemed to resonate in one's heart sounded again.

This time, it's not about moving forward, but about climbing.

Climb upwards.

Golden ripples appeared continuously beneath his feet, like stairs, allowing him to climb step by step.

This...can you still play like this?

Those hiding in the shadows were dumbfounded.

The Sentinels of the Overwatch Council, the Assassins of the Unarmored Alliance, and the spies from various countries who rushed to the scene watched him advance step by step into the void.

One step... one step... and another step...

Then, seemingly feeling that this method was too slow, he simply stopped acting.

Instead of climbing step by step, they ride the wind and soar straight up!

"He can't be that kind of saint, can he?" Roy was still rambling on the other end of the communicator.

"The kind of person who would sacrifice themselves for the infected?"

"I can not understand……"

“I understand,” Monique said, staring blankly at Xia Yu, which stretched to the horizon.

"What did you understand?" Roy asked, puzzled, on the other end of the communication.

"Perhaps, he just doesn't care..."

Under everyone's gaze, Xia Yu reached the top.

Looking down at the power center of the Great Knights' territory.

Then, he drew a crimson demonic spear from the void.

The Spear That Pierces Dead Thorns (GáeBolg)

This is a counterfeit product made by Baituo Nian.

It is a move that means reversing the cause and effect of things. The moment it is released, the opponent's heart will be pierced, and this effect will be created first.

The fact that the gun hit the heart means that the bullet struck from behind; without considerable luck, it could be said that the attack was a guaranteed kill if it was fired.

A one-hit kill, an extremely useful Noble Phantasm.

Xia Yu had no intention of using it to pierce anyone's heart.

There are no enemies in this city that can only be killed with a Noble Phantasm.

He has only one goal.

The power center of the Great Knights' Domain, Kavaleria.

If we were to compare the Great Knights Territory of the Forty-One Alliance to a person, then the power center before us, which is constantly supplying enough energy to power the entire city, would undoubtedly be its heart.

Logically speaking, calling the power center of a city its heart and then attacking it with a spear that pierces through death thorns is not a valid approach.

But the Holy Grail is something that never makes sense.

It was created for one purpose: to perform miracles.

As soon as Xia Yu had a thought, the Holy Grail located in her heart trembled slightly.

[Assigning a concept]

In an instant, an elusive wave of energy enveloped the entire Great Knight Territory.

The people living there seem to feel that the city beneath their feet is somewhat different, but they can't quite put their finger on why.

Among these people, those gathered around the power center felt it most directly.

“Heart…” Monique looked at the power center in front of her and suddenly felt, for some reason, that this was a heart.

She didn't know why she had such an absurd idea.

But at first glance, this idea naturally comes to mind.

"What? What did you say? What heart?" Roy was completely bewildered. "What have you been talking about since the beginning?"

Monique did not answer him, because a crimson light had already appeared in mid-air.

Xia Yu raised the magic gun high.

[A pseudo-spiritual origin - Cú Chulainn]

【Loading completed】

The Noble Phantasm, the Spear Piercing Death Thorns, is being unleashed.

The dazzling crimson light almost pierced the sky.

The magic of the Holy Grail seemed to flow freely into the replica in his hand.

Click...

A crisp sound came from the crimson gun barrel; I suppose I'll have to find Nian Da Xiu when I get back.

After all, it's a fake, and can't compare to the treasures that are the culmination and sublimation of countless epic legends.

But at least releasing this big one shouldn't be a problem.

At this moment, the twelve-foot-long spear had condensed countless magical powers, and its extremely high energy level would leave even the Great Dog himself speechless.

Then comes envy, jealousy, and hatred. Having the Holy Grail doesn't make you superior! Look at the Counter Force! Someone stole it and even cheated!

Oh? Terra non-retroactive inhibitory tube?

That's fine.

As the crimson light grew brighter, it was gradually noticed by people outside the power center.

In Plot Zero, the doctor silently gazed at the blood-red night sky outside the window.

At the Securities and Futures Commission, the Grand Knight Commander frowned deeply.

In the Red Pine Camp, everyone looked nervously in this direction.

At the end of the street where Xia Yu came from, the Nightmare Knight gripped his weapon tightly, trembling.

At Zofia's manor, Maria gazes curiously into the distance...

On the bustling street, people who were still passionately discussing the epic duel between the Radiant Knight and the Candle Knight today looked up...

At the banquet, the merchants and nobles, who were clinking glasses and exchanging toasts, were in a panic.

Outside the Great Knights' territory, the Silver Spear Pegasus warriors wore solemn expressions.

The dazzling crimson hung in mid-air, growing brighter and brighter...

Then came a loud "GáeBolg!"

The crimson light fell to the earth like a meteor with a beautiful tail flame!

boom! ! !

Crimson magic erupted as the demonic spear fell, tearing the entire power center apart and obliterating it!

In the blink of an eye, the more than ten-story building crumbled and collapsed before everyone's eyes, then was swept into the crimson stream of magic, where it was torn apart and melted away...

It literally shows what it means to be reduced to ashes.

However, this is far from over.

The power center is not just this one building.

The real body is hidden underground, encased in thick steel.

Countless mechanical structures kept emerging from the original location of the building, only to be obliterated.

Everyone stared in stunned silence at the spectacular sight.

The crimson light captivated them, making them completely unaware that the surrounding lights had gone out.

But beyond their sight, the entire Grand Knight Commandery was 'dying'.

Xia Yu watched as the lights of the Great Knights' territory rapidly went outwards from the building beneath her feet.

Until the earth within sight was completely dark.

The Grand Knights, immersed in the excitement of the Major, welcomed a quiet night.

249 Light

In mid-air, Xia Yu rode the wind, watching the lights of the Great Knight's Territory dim little by little.

The once-prosperous skyscrapers and neon lights are gone, the billboards that never stopped advertising 24/7 have fallen into darkness, and all the electrical appliances on the street have stopped working...

In an instant, the city, which had just been bustling with excitement during the Major, suddenly became so unfamiliar, leaving the entire city feeling lost and disoriented.

From birth to death, the people here have never seen such a silent Grand Knight's Domain.

This city seems to have been bustling ever since it was built.
