With the ability to transform, I am a judge.

Joan of Arc leaned out of the car window and spoke to the middle-aged man driving, expressing her desire to prevent ordinary people from being drawn into the Holy Grail War because of her.

“That won’t do. How can we let a young girl walk alone on such a dark road?”

"please."

Joan of Arc's gaze was earnest, and with her unique and undeniably convincing presence, she persuaded this ordinary, kind-hearted passerby to pull over.

Ahead was a road sign, and the figure sitting on it went unnoticed by the driver, who also ignored the car as it drove away.

Joan of Arc, pulling a suitcase, looked at the figure holding the road sign, and the other person jumped down immediately.

"You must be Ruler?"

The voice was calm, yet it put immense pressure on Joan of Arc. Fortunately, her will was strong enough, and it wasn't the first time she had faced such a formidable enemy.

During the last Holy Grail War, the Caster she encountered who illegally summoned a Servant single-handedly defeated several Servants.

The powerful force on that fist, and the ten rings symbolizing the Lord's power, were unforgettable to her.

"Realize yourself."

Joan of Arc's beautiful pupils suddenly contracted, because as the sound fell, a point of light flew from that figure.

The speed was so fast that it was impossible to dodge. Her civilian clothes were immediately replaced with combat attire. Joan of Arc waved her flag as she leaped backward.

The ground was shattered by the blow, and dust billowed up. The astonishing impact sent Joan of Arc flying, and she only managed to regain her footing after staggering back more than ten meters.

That wasn't a Noble Phantasm; it seemed like he simply gathered magical energy and threw it out. It was a versatile close-combat 'magic release'!

"The red team's Lancer... Karna, son of the sun god Surya, right? You should know the consequences of rashly attacking Ruler."

Ruler, who possesses two Command Seals corresponding to each Servant, will have a significant advantage in battles against enemies, as she can use Command Seals to restrain her opponents.

Whether using a Command Spell to stop its actions or issuing a suicide order, it will greatly disrupt the battle.

As the dust settled, a white-haired man, bare-chested but not revealing his breasts, slowly approached, holding a golden spear in his hand.

"Whoa!"

"I am the arbiter of the Holy Grail War, Jeanne d'Arc, please cease your attack."

This attack was somewhat baffling to Joan of Arc; logically, for both sides, her actions should have been nothing more than an attempt to win her over.

She thought a lot along the way. First of all, she had to stick to her position as Ruler, but she never expected to be attacked right away.

Moreover, this is a Servant of this caliber; even if she could use Command Seals to restrain them, she wasn't confident she could defeat them...

“Speaking out what you already understand is not wise; my attitude should be quite clear.”

Flames rose from the golden spear, and the intense heat was undoubtedly the power of the sun, the fire of the sun.

"I have received orders from my Master to come and slay the Ruler of this Holy Grail War. This is what I must do."

"I'm going to go... but considering your privileges, I won't give you the chance."

Flames surged, and scorching magical energy churned around them. Karna appeared ready to unleash his Noble Phantasm, causing the temperature in the area to rise abruptly.

As frost fell, the temperature suddenly dropped. Joan of Arc showed surprise, while Karna turned around alertly.

The spear swept across, blocking a long sword. The deafening collision made one's eardrums vibrate, and the ground beneath Karna's feet suddenly cracked.

When a B-level strength encounters an A+ level, all the power is transmitted along his body to the ground, resulting in the ground beneath Karna's feet being unable to withstand it.

White smoke spread at the point where the sword and gun clashed, and extreme cold and extreme heat clashed with each other. Karna instantly saw the attribute panel of the girl in front of him with his own skills.

Yang Li narrowed his eyes slightly, using his Master privileges to see through Karna's attributes.

Because Karna possesses the skill 'Uncrowned Martial Arts', as long as his true name is not revealed, the attributes others see are reduced and distorted.

Unfortunately, Yang Li knew who the person in front of her was, so she directly obtained the complete attributes, which made her appear slightly weaker than her.

The magic surged, and the flames rolling on the gun suddenly flared up. Karna used the explosive force to pull out of the suppression zone.

Ice mist and flames intertwined. Yang Li, who was hit by the burst at close range, was not injured, but he lost his previous suppressive advantage.

Amidst the crisscrossing spear beams, the divine spear wreathed in flames thrust forth, Karna intending to repel his opponent with a single blow...

Chapter 498, Section 508: The Fierce Confrontation Between Ice and Fire

Chapter 498: The Fierce Clash Between Ice and Fire

Three white slashes fell, the killing intent they contained causing Karna's expression to turn slightly serious. He immediately drew his spear and leaped backward.

The next moment, three cracks appeared in the ground. If Karna hadn't dodged the attack, it could have caused some damage. Without the Golden Armor, it could have been fatal.

Unfortunately, despite being martial arts masters at the same divine realm level, their skill levels were roughly equal, both around Grandmaster level LV.20.

"Are you Saber of the Black faction? Your martial arts are truly astonishing, and your strength is incredible... Are you an A-rank?"

With the skill 'The Insight of the Poor', Karna can see the attribute templates of other Servants just like a Master, but this is blocked by Yang Li's Noble Phantasm effect.

Based on his strength and skill level, he could roughly estimate the strength of Yang Li's Servant form and concluded that he was capable of fighting her.

"Unfortunately, I am Assassin, Saber is someone else."

Karna was clearly taken aback when he heard the word "Assassin," since it was generally accepted in the Holy Grail War that Assassins were relatively weak in direct combat.

The girl opposite them, surrounded by ice crystals, was not only lacking in direct combat ability, but was far too capable.

"Strength is probably A, agility is also A, and he has skills or Noble Phantasms that release ice-related magic. He's really an amazing Assassin."

With just a few rounds of combat, Karna has figured out quite a lot, truly deserving of being one of the three golden targets, a Light-rank Servant.

With god-level spear skills and unparalleled magical power release (flame), plus a super high-level Noble Phantasm and the ultimate trump card of Gundam EX, he truly deserves the title of the top tier.

Yang Li narrowed his eyes. The spear called "Undying Blade" was very sharp. Just using that spear for a basic attack would probably have an A-level attack power.

Therefore, Karna's B-rank strength is only slightly inferior to hers in a momentary clash of strength; their actual output capabilities are about the same.

Gripping the Ice Blade Frost tightly, Yang Li looked at Karna, who was also wary of her and was quite cautious, not launching a preemptive attack.

Blood Mist - Netherworld Incarnation!

Taking a step forward, Yang Li suddenly accelerated, splitting into three and rushing towards Karna, a burst of crimson blood energy rising from the spot.

Karna's pupils constricted as he was struck simultaneously in the head, neck, and waist, with the attacks coming from different directions.

Flames exploded, and the firelight swirling from the divine spear engulfed the surrounding area. Even Joan of Arc was forced back by the fire, and her two blood-energy clones were scattered.

The blade aimed at his neck was blocked by the gun barrel. Karna shook the gun with force, and the divine spear transformed into several spear rays that shot out.

Every weapon has an optimal attack range. Spears have a much greater advantage than swords, provided that the distance is well controlled.

Once a skilled swordsman closes the distance to the point where the spear cannot be thrown back, then the spear-wielder is in danger.

The Undying Blade, which covers a full two and a half meters in length, is difficult to use when Yang Li is close to it, so Karna's top priority now is to create distance.

He possesses golden armor that reduces damage, and his resistance to fire is unimaginable, so he directly unleashes his magic at close range (fire).

Yang Li frowned slightly, as he had no defensive artifacts on him, only a purple-level coat and soft armor that concealed his form.

Moving backward to take Karna's burst head-on would be too much for even her, and besides, she wasn't only capable of melee combat.

A crimson light gathered on the blade, and after creating a distance of about four meters, Yang Li suddenly swung the long blade forward.

Blood Wave - Crescent Moon Sky Surge!

A massive crescent-shaped blade of blood energy detached from the blade and flew toward Karna, slicing through the ground as if swept away by a typhoon.

As she unleashed this attack, Yang Li suddenly raised her longsword, and nine ice snakes instantly materialized around her.

Nine Dragons Mystic Ice!

One of Cang Yue's commonly used combat skills is to create and release nine ice snakes that bite at the enemy and freeze the strangled target, with excellent practical effect.

After unleashing this move, Yang Li leaped back a great distance, and the magic power on his body began to surge violently.

boom--!!

"Roar!!"

Flames shot into the sky as Karna held his spear before him. The erupting flames scorched the ground into liquid, bursting forth and destroying all attacks.

A cloak-like object stood beside him, blocking the aftershocks of the previous attack; it was part of his armor that had deflected the impact.

Having expended a lot of magic power in his defense, he was originally preparing to rush forward and suppress his opponent, but suddenly stopped.

A surge of fiery magical energy rose up, and Karna swung his spear in front of him, its surface radiating light—a sign that his Noble Phantasm was about to be unleashed.

The icy blue scales were incredibly lifelike, and a majestic Eastern dragon soared through the air—something created by the opposing Servant.

Whether it was a Noble Phantasm or not, Karna's mind quickly flashed through heroes related to Eastern dragons, but there was no record of the girl in front of him.

The girl raised her hand, instantly raising Karna's alertness to its highest level. At the same time, the ice dragon stopped circling and then charged down fiercely.

"Brahma, curse my body (Brahmastra Kundala)!!"

First, it swooped down, then charged head-on at Karna's ice dragon as it approached the ground. It was enveloped by the beam of light, which was a pillar of light formed from solar flames that pierced through it.

The burst of ice crystal fragments and fiery whirlwinds instantly turned the surrounding area into scorched earth, and that was only after some restraint.

Even the 'Ice Emperor Azure Dragon' couldn't withstand being bombarded by an A+ level anti-national treasure, let alone Yang Li's degraded version.

They dodged urgently, simultaneously straining to build up their defenses, crimson mist and shimmering ice crystals...

Suddenly, a beam of blue light mixed with scarlet shot out from the smoke and dust, inside which was a beautiful arrow made of ice crystals.

The arrow forcefully dispersed some of the smoke and dust, then arrived in front of Karna with unparalleled speed, the timing was perfect.

Aurora - Arrow from the Mystic Bow!

The rumbling sound rang out again, lasting for about three seconds, and the scale of the smoke and dust became even more considerable.
