The damage caused by Sakutsu at the beginning was repaired by Adam in the blink of an eye, but he then directly destroyed the giant's feet with his twin guns, allowing the conditions to be established again.
As for why he beat his own people so hard, firstly, it was to win Black's trust, and secondly...guess Shuo Yue would kill him by releasing such a powerful Noble Phantasm? Who struck the decisive blow?
Chapter 490 The long night finally dawns
The surrounding trees began to wither, and the earth was no longer a paradise. The "original humans" who were supposed to be immortal also turned into corpses.
"It's done..." Achilles breathed a sigh of relief. Coincidentally, the fog dissipated at this moment. A small black shadow looked at someone in the distance, hesitated for a moment, but quickly disappeared into the fog.
"Damn guy, he actually let her run away!"
The only one who expressed his thoughts so frankly was Red Mordred. She carried a sword and looked around with a dissatisfied look on her face, searching for the figures who kept attacking them in the fog. Behind her, Lion Jie, Fiore, Colles and Gold were lying or crouching, with expressions of surviving a disaster on their faces.
Especially the fat man Gold, almost burst into tears.
"Finally, finally saved!"
The moment they were swallowed by the mist, their masters were attacked by mysterious servants. For some unknown reason, Gold was attacked far more times than the others!
"Alamy~ Even though I don't like you, you're really miserable." Astolfo supported Sieg and patted Gold's shoulder sympathetically.
Chiron, Fiore, and Corles looked up at the falling mud and rocks that made up the giant Adam: "It seems that they have completed their mission as well."
As for whether it is as intact as them...
"Sakuyue, are you okay? Do you need treatment? Does Master still have command spells?"
Joan of Arc, with tears in her eyes, held Shuoyue and began to feel around his body. To show that he was fine, the young man reluctantly raised his left hand. However, perhaps because the action of raising his hand looked so weak, Joan of Arc became even more uneasy.
"As expected, it's all my fault. As expected, let me take care of you QAQ."
"Although there is still a little dull pain, that's all... I'm fine."
"But the boy's statement of 'nothing' is not very credible."
This idiot saint... Shuo Yue was suddenly speechless. The reason why he pretended to be nonchalant was because, on the one hand, there was a third method, and he could convert NP into HP at any time. On the other hand, maybe it was Because of Joan's excessive concern, it was difficult for him to adapt.
After all, he is a cold-blooded assassin who has no need for emotion.
After Shuoyue stood up and moved his arms, Joan of Arc finally accepted the fact that he was safe and sound, so she walked to the side where Adam disappeared, knelt down, clasped her hands together and prayed to the gradually disappearing giant.
As for whether it was a requiem for the magician who became the "Heart of the Furnace", or whether it was a requiem for the fetus (golem) who was not allowed to have its own meaning after birth, Sakatsuki didn't know.
He just stared at the saint who was praying earnestly in a daze.
The secret order implanted in Adam was ordered by Shuo Yue to Avis Bulunga - that is to say, this is a test that Shuo Yue puts on himself.
At the same time, he allowed himself to deliberately forget about the incident, so before reacting instinctively, Shuo Yue did not expect Joan of Arc to be attacked.
Everything he does comes from his heart.
After realizing this, the existence of 'Joan of Arc' was like some uncontrollable factor, causing chaos in the sophisticated system constructed by Shuo Yue.
And how much impact will this chaos have on the assassin's Holy Grail War?
Shuo Yue, refused to think.
Because Joan of Arc is really beautiful in prayer, the young man thought.
While I feel beautiful, I also feel sad. The assassin knows very well that prayers will not reach anywhere, and asking for God's blessing will not bring any effect at all.
She should know this better than anyone else. Prayer cannot save everything, just as pious as she was, she was burned to death by fire because of betrayal and compromise.
Despite this, she continued to pray. She prayed in the name of Joan of Arc.
Where does the girl's prayer go?
Shuoyue lowered his eyes. At his feet, a piece of glowing soil was tapping the young man's calf persistently, as if reminding him, or complaining.
The light of the displacement magic shone secretly, wrapped the core of the giant Adam, and disappeared.
Turning around, with his black robe fluttering, the assassin walked towards Milenia Fortress without looking back.
"I don't think it's time to relax now - gather together, everyone. We must have a unified approach regarding the Greater Holy Grail."
The night has passed, and the light of dawn falls on the faces of every hero and every master. After a night of disputes, betrayals, cooperation and battles, the morning glow of the morning is warm and flamboyant and covers the sky.
What a beauty this is.
But everyone knows that sooner or later the night will come again. If you want not to be swallowed up by the endless night, you must ignite the torch of hope.
Facing the bright morning light, Chiron and Achilles smiled at each other and took steps together; Joan of Arc stood up from prayer, grabbed the holy flag with a firm look, and Karna walked forward calmly; Mordred and Leonid were joking and talking in tacit understanding; Gold on the side glanced away, opened his mouth to speak, but only saw Siegfried's determined back as usual.
Fiore brought Corres, and Atalanta jumped down from the treetop, shaking her long hair. Her emerald eyes reflected the scene of the new moon and Joan of Arc walking side by side.
At the forefront of this heroic picture, the dilapidated Fortress of Mirenia still stands tenaciously on the hill after experiencing the war.
Black's meeting begins.
Then - of course something happened.
"Huh? You mean you refuse to assist us?!"
With a bang, Gold slapped his hands on the table and jumped up. Should he be said to be heroic and fearless, or terrifyingly stupid? In short, he glanced at Achilles, Karna and Atalanta one by one with questioning eyes.
Perhaps he felt that he was being wronged. Even Achilles, who had the most explosive temper, didn't say much. He just said calmly:
"Teacher has already explained to you that we chose to leave the red side because of the death of our master. However, the real murderer of our master has not yet been identified."
"Isn't it a priest who calls himself Amakusa?"
"My ability tells me that he is not lying. Subjectively, Father Amakusa was not involved in this matter." Karna, who has the 'perspective of a poor man', said so.
"That is Semiramis the Red?"
"It's very possible, and the eldest sister and I both hate that black poisonous woman." Achilles curled his lips, "But until we find definite evidence, we can't act based on our feelings, and we won't help you fight against that priest, so Sorry."
Previously, it was because the master's death went to their heads. After calming down, Heel, Little Sun and Ta Miao realized the strangeness of this matter belatedly.
Killing the Master at a critical moment and weakening one's own combat power, is this really a stupid thing that Amakusa and the Empress would do?
Even if it was for the Command Seal, wouldn't Amakusa, as the Master, gain nothing in the end?
Could it be that the empress used too much force and killed the master directly?
Are you kidding? This is a garden in the sky, and Semiramis is not a delicate queen.
To sum up, after discussion, Achilles and others finally decided to stay put and not to attack the red side indiscriminately until they found out the truth.
"Of course, we are still happy to help you with other matters other than the red team, such as patrolling, sentrying, etc."
"But, we have handed over Romania's spiritual veins to you, right?" Fiore argued hard, trying to win over these three helpers.
"Yes, so we helped you defeat the giant Adam. After all, at the critical moment, you all called your followers away."
"Ugh..." Fiore was so ashamed that she was speechless. Even Mordred beside her whistled and turned his head away as if nothing had happened.
The two swordsmen with light cannons both chose their master instead of subduing the giant. Although Joan didn't say much afterward, the shame of the hero (being blessed by the command spell but not doing anything serious) still made them Somewhat embarrassing.
In order to avoid suspicion, the three followers of the red side stood up neatly and left the conference room. After briefly collecting their emotions, Fiore, who temporarily served as the head of the Thousand World Tree family, and the leader of the black side, looked at the black robe who had been silent. youth.
"So, where is Mr. Shuo Yue who is here on behalf of the Clock Tower? Will you help us?"
Following Fiore's words, everyone else couldn't help but turn their eyes to Shuoyue who was leaning against the door. At this point, no one would underestimate this assassin.
The golden electric beads swayed, Shuo Yue raised her eyes and gave the answer with a half-smile.
Chapter 491 Shakespeare’s Bewitchment
“That depends on your definition of help, Yogdomirenya.
Shuoyue's seemingly pointed words made Fiore tremble, and she suddenly remembered the fact that Thousand World Tree declared war with the Clock Tower.
Sakusuki came here to conquer them. Even if he left the red side because of Amakusa's killing of the masters, would he easily help Yggdomirenia?
No, not only that, now that her uncle has been killed by Shuo Yue, she also has to guard against Shuo Yue and the Clock Tower joining forces to completely embezzle the property of Yggdomirenia... During the days of studying in the Clock Tower, Fiore I have heard too many similar tragedies.
So, compromise with the Clock Tower in exchange for help?
No, no, at least, you can't show weakness so quickly...
"It seems that you have understood, Miss Fiore." Shuo Yue smiled, "Instead of asking me, it is better to ask Mr. Shijie. After all, mercenaries do this kind of work."
"Why are you still involved with me..." Lion Jie muttered, but waved his hand nonchalantly, "Fiore Fulvig Yogdomirenia, I just met yesterday.
To be precise, they were fighting for their lives in Sighisoara yesterday with the intention of killing each other.
It is really wonderful that we are sitting together today and discussing cooperation with each other.
Facing Shishi Jie who raised her hand to greet him, the girl tried her best to respond as if nothing had happened... However, her expression seemed a bit stiff. In this regard, she does not seem to be as open-minded as Lion Jie, who is a mercenary. "
Well, I was also surprised at how we were able to meet again so soon despite such unexpected circumstances."
"Don't say that. This Holy Grail War has entered the second stage from the moment the Great Holy Grail was snatched away. You and I are no longer enemies."
"That's it for now, right."
"Well, that's it for now—hey."
Hehehehe——they both laughed at the same time. Even through the sunglasses, Fiore was still certain——there was absolutely no trace of smile in this man's eyes.
Of course, this is also true for the Lion Tribulation.
"Suddenly I felt so terrible..." Astol Fu shivered and burst into tears. Sieg beside him had to reach out and pat his back to express comfort. Seeing this, Fiore put away her fake smile, coughed lightly and continued:
"Then, please explain in detail what happened after boarding the Sky Garden."
Black's rally is still going on, and at the same time, Red's sky courtyard has begun to move, and the floating city that has sucked the Great Holy Grail into its belly is flying in the dawn sky.
Through the surveillance of the familiar, it was confirmed that the original giant Adam was defeated and Avisbron's long-cherished wish was not realized. This gave the opponent time to reorganize the lineup.
"Taking into account the intelligence compilation, tracking preparation and tracking time - I think it will be about three days."
"You said they can catch up in three days?"
"Well, of course, Jeanne must convince the magician of Yggdomirenia and unite the remaining servants - this is a necessary prerequisite."
Maybe Yggdmirenia will compromise and appeal to the Magic Association instead. Even for the Magic Association, this is an unexpected situation. After all, the person who took away the Holy Grail turned out to be the old rival, the Holy Church.
Of course, the current Holy Church is also in dire straits.
The huge king's room was empty. Neither of them liked to join in the fun. Altria secretly went out to greet little Jack. Only Amakusa, the Empress and Rokudo Reika stayed in the center.
Behind them, the Great Holy Grail outlines the figure of the Winter Saint, with a pious and compassionate face, like the silent Holy Spirit in a chapel.
"Then, the only one left is you, Miss Lingxia."
The heroes of the past have been blown away by the wind and rain. Amakusa looks at the empty space, his lips still wearing a smile as calm as the deep sea.
"Why choose our red side? Your answer will determine our next attitude."
Sixth Director Lingxia opened her mouth and was surprised to find that she was suppressed by Amakusa's momentum.
What kind of courage supports him to do this? You know, the red team is now irreversibly at a disadvantage!
Even if the Empress in the Sky Garden is comparable to the top servants, if the sixth leader Reika is not included, the red side will only have Amakusa herself, who is second-rate in combat power, and Shakespeare, a third-rate writer.
Even with such bad cards in his hand, can the priest remain calm and smile?
Sixth Director Lingxia looked directly into those golden pupils. If she just looked casually, she could only see the gentleness that a clergy should have. But now, this disguise is already shaky.
Under that hollow shell, what is hidden is the tenacity and obsession of "My heart is so powerful that I can't change it." That is the hard work accumulated by the Jidong Saint step by step in the past sixty years.
He didn't allow himself to let this end.
No matter how dire the situation is, Amakusa is still the one striving for victory. In this case, isn't it normal for him to adopt an attitude of selecting comrades?
After realizing this, Sixth Advisor Reika put away the contempt and arrogance in her heart, and responded to Amakusa's questions softly and with extreme vigilance, as if she was standing alone in front of the stern black servants.
"I need to get the Great Holy Grail, and the Osare family wants to destroy the Millennium Tree - because we were expelled from Yggdomirenia by Darnic back then."
"Then they lost their magic foundation and were reduced to a third-rate family." The empress's words showed that they were not unprepared, but the clock tower blocked the news in advance, causing Amakusa's intelligence network to not know the fact that the Osare family had been destroyed. "I see, is the purpose for the Holy Grail and revenge? Yes, this is enough reason for you to break away from Black."
As they said this, Empress Semiramis and Priest Amakusa Shiro Tokisada exchanged secret glances.
The two of them understood almost instantly - Sixth Director Lingxia was, and could only be, the target of their use.
No one can restrain the will-o'-the-wisp of vengeance, let alone only one Holy Grail.
"So, what is your wish to tell the Holy Grail?"
"The wish, of course, is the prosperity of the family."
After walking out of the king's room, the sixth director Lingxia saw the man wearing flashy robes, bowing to her respectfully and extending his hand.
