Chapter 52 Fafnir? Fafnir!
"It's not that easy to defeat."
However, as Fafner's mortal enemy, Siegfried had a keen eye and could see her condition. His sword strike had indeed caused considerable damage to Fafner, but it was ultimately negated by her dragon breath, preventing her from achieving a fatal blow.
As for the immortal evil dragon Fafner, no matter how much damage she received, she could recover quickly, as long as the blow was not fatal. Not to mention that Fafner was now strengthened by the Holy Grail.
The only thing that could limit Fafner was her own magic and physical strength. However, her immortal body alone was enough to greatly reduce this limitation.
Sure enough, after the beam of light released by Siegfried disappeared, Fafner, whose body was covered with broken and burnt marks, began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, it roared and rushed directly towards Siegfried.
At this time, Mashu also reacted immediately. She attacked the wound caused by Siegfried's Noble Phantasm, trying to draw Fafnir's attention back.
However, at this moment, Fafnir seemed to have completely understood the enemy that could threaten it, and she completely ignored Mashu's attack. Even the running body and the shaking of the dragon's tail were enough to cause considerable trouble to Mashu's attack.
In desperation, Mashu could only reunite with Siegfried and continue to avoid the evil dragon's physical attacks.
"We must find its weakness! Not only can we inflict a fatal wound, but we can also attract its attention once again!"
Siegfried said as he dodged.
"Its weakness...but where exactly is its weakness?" Mashu asked immediately after hearing it.
"I don't know... My memory of that time is a little vague, and my Noble Phantasm itself can cover every part of its body..." Siegfried shook his head and said.
"As for the dragon's weaknesses, I do know a little bit."
At this time, the projection of Dr. Roman also appeared beside Mashu.
"Doctor, what are the weaknesses?" Mashu asked quickly.
"There are generally three locations. One is the dragon's mouth. After all, a dragon's magic power is released through its breath. If you can destroy the dragon's mouth when it breathes, you might be able to use its magic power and work together to blow its head off."
Dr. Roman said slowly.
"Face the dragon's breath and attack the opponent's mouth? That's a good idea indeed. But I can't use my Noble Phantasm twice in a row. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you, Ms. Mashu?"
As Siegfried spoke, he suddenly jumped away and avoided the sweep of the dragon's tail.
"The second is the organs used for reproduction, just like all living things. After all, they are meant to pass on to future generations, so naturally, this is also the common weakness of all living things."
"Wow... I always feel that it's a bit improper. But if you think about it carefully, it does make sense." Mashu said with an embarrassed look on her face.
"Yes, and the position is also very suitable for you to attack, Mashu. I just don't know if the shield can cut it off... It would be great if there was another Servant with the Severing attribute."
Dr. Roman couldn't help but complain.
"What else? Doctor? There must be some other weaknesses, right?"
Mashu asked again. After all, if there was a better option, she would rather attack other parts.
"The last weakness is actually well known to everyone... It's the dragon's reverse scale. But it's just like a human fingerprint. The location of each dragon's reverse scale is different. I guess the legend says that it was by piercing the reverse scale that Fafnir's immortality was overcome."
Dr. Roman said.
"Reverse scales? That reminds me a little bit... I'm not sure of the exact location, but it should be roughly in the lower half of the dragon's body. After all, none of us can fly."
Siegfried said:
"To sum up, the most appropriate option at the moment is to find a way to quickly locate the reverse scale. The second best option is to cut off the dragon's roots. The worst option is to bombard the dragon's mouth."
"Well, since we can only attack the lower body anyway... then let's try to find the reverse scale and attack the dragon's... weak spot."
Mashu's face flushed slightly, and she gathered her chaotic thoughts and immediately took action.
"Senior, I need your help so that I can become faster!" Mashu couldn't help but shout.
After hearing Mashu's call, Ritsuka immediately understood. He raised his right hand and said, "In the name of Vine Ritsuka, and by the command seal, Mashu, unleash your strength and speed to the utmost!"
But Ritsuka finally used the Command Seal to completely strengthen Mashu.
After feeling the enhanced power, Mashu rushed towards the evil dragon Fafnir without hesitation. After waving away the dust raised by Fafnir and the attacks of dragon claws and tail, Mashu began to swing her shield and hit Fafnir in various places.
"Roar!!!"
As if sensing Mash's humiliation, Fafner, in a rage, even opened her mouth and spit out breath at her feet. It seemed she was hoping to use her body's immortality to injure Mash in exchange for her life.
"Fafnir! Your opponent is me!!" However, at this time, Siegfried roared, stepped on the ground, jumped high, and attacked Fafnir's chin directly.
After seeing Siegfried coming, Fafnir quickly switched targets and aimed her dragon breath at Siegfried who was about to attack her chin.
However, at this moment, Siegfried suddenly somersaulted in mid-air, abruptly stopping his upward trend and rushing towards Fafner's position.
As a result, not only did Fafna's breath go into nothing, but when she was about to continue attacking and spit towards her feet, she felt a huge pain between her legs.
Finally, Fafna seemed to realize something, flapped her wings, and leaped directly into the air from the ground, thus stopping the opponent's continuous attacks.
"I thought it had lost the ability to fly, but it turns out it just forgot how to fly. This is a bit troublesome." Siegfried said with a gloomy face as he looked at Fafner taking off into the air.
"Well, Mr. Siegfried, there is something very strange!" At this time, Mashu spoke out.
"What's wrong? Have you discovered your reverse scale?" Siegfried asked.
"No, Mr. Siegfried, didn't you notice? No... I just looked around and couldn't find its... weakness!" Mashu said hesitantly.
But Siegfried had understood Mash's meaning. Coincidentally, Fafner was hovering above them at that moment. Siegfried looked up at her, and a strange expression suddenly crossed his face.
"How could it be... How could Fafnir be a female dragon?" Siegfried couldn't help but say.
"Eh? A female dragon? Is Fafnir a female dragon?" Mash asked, stunned.
"No, of course not. I've fought it myself, and I'm absolutely certain it's a male dragon."
Siegfried shook his head and said.
"That's right... no wonder the Dragon Witch's words sounded a little strange. I thought it was because she's French and has an accent. So it's not Fafnir (male)... but Fafnir (female)?"
"This... is there any difference? It's not a very important thing, right?" Mashu said involuntarily.
"No, quite the opposite. This proves that this evil dragon is merely relying on the blessing of Fafnir's name. The blessing of legend and the legend itself are two different concepts. Simply put, it's the difference between quantity and quality."
Siegfried said seriously:
"Although it has lost its weakness, the Dragon Root, it has exposed another, even greater weakness. Because it is not a true Fafnir, its immortality is limited, and it cannot be as infinite as Fafnir."
"I'm afraid its immortality depends entirely on its own magic... or rather, the magic bestowed upon it by the Holy Grail."
"No wonder in yesterday's battle, after Fafnir was struck by my Noble Phantasm, the Dragon Witch chose to retreat with it. I'm afraid she is also well aware that her Fafnir's immortality is entirely supported by the magic power of the Holy Grail."
"It simply can't withstand the wear and tear of a prolonged battle! Once it's dealt enough damage, or its magic power is depleted... then death won't be far away!"
The author says:
Author's Note: qwq Is it true that some people always think that I always typed Fafnir and Fafnir incorrectly in the previous chapters? 2333, this is a little easter egg, right?
Chapter 53: Death of Fafna
After listening to Siegfried's explanation, Mashu suddenly understood that as long as they continued to fight, they would definitely be the winner.
"But now it seems that Fafner might have sensed danger and fled. If that's the case, we'll never be able to kill it."
However, Mashu looked at Fafner who had already flown high into the sky, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes:
"What's more, now that it's flying, it's difficult for us to have any offensive means to consume it."
"But there's no other way now. Let's fight with all our might! Be careful of its breath!"
Siegfried said this and started running again, dodging the flames.
With the power of flight, Fafner finally displayed the intimidating power a dragon could possess. With control of the air, she was able to completely ignore any attacks from the two men below her. Constantly spitting out small fireballs that required little energy to build up was enough to drain the two men's stamina.
If this goes on, not only will Siegfried and Mash exhaust Fafner's physical strength and magic power, but they might even fall next.
"Mashu! Use your shield as a springboard and take advantage of the opportunity to help Mr. Siegfried up!"
Fortunately, Li Xiang immediately came up with a solution that was not a solution based on the existing situation.
After being reminded, Mashu suddenly realized it. She used her shield to block a fireball, rolled over to make the shield rotate, and at the same time, she half-crouched on the ground, ready to use it as a jumping platform.
Mashu immediately called out, "Mr. Siegfried!"
“Here it comes! Drink it—!”
Siegfried naturally found the right opportunity and stepped on the shield, preparing to jump.
"Ah ah--!!"
Mash and Siegfried exerted their strength simultaneously, and Siegfried flew towards Fafner like an arrow. Facing Siegfried charging straight towards her, Fafner seemed to be a little frightened.
"Evil dragon! Return to the dust!"
Siegfried aimed directly at Fafner's wings and chopped them off, trying to knock her back to the ground.
"Roar--!"
As if sensing Siegfried's intention, Fafner not only didn't fold her wings to avoid the attack, but instead, taking a risk, she poured her own magical power into them. A faint black aura covered the dragon's wings, and then it slashed directly towards Siegfried.
"Qiang——!"
The sound of metal clashing echoed, and a cut was made on Fafner's wings, causing half of her body to spin uncontrollably. Similarly, Siegfried was struck directly in the chest by the opponent's wing, spurting out a large amount of blood.
"Mr. Siegfried!" Mashu was shocked and ran quickly to where Siegfried fell.
"Bang bang bang!"
Several fireballs were seen spraying directly towards the place where Siegfried fell. Even though Fafner was flying all over the place, she still locked her fireballs on Siegfried.
If Mashu had not arrived in time and raised her shield to block the attack, Siegfried would have been at least unable to move, even if he had not been killed.
"This evil dragon is more difficult to deal with than I thought... Injury for injury? That's a clever way to fight back."
Siegfried struggled to get up from the smoke and dust, and his heart sank as he saw that the wound on the other party that he had inflicted with great difficulty was recovering rapidly.
"The disadvantage of fighting Fafner in the air is still too great. The sky is the dragon's home turf, unless we also have a means of flight or someone who can also fight it in the air."
Mashu couldn't help but say.
"It's okay, if it doesn't work once, try again. Ms. Mashu, see if you can throw out the shield so that I can continue to use the force in the air." Siegfried said involuntarily.
"Throw down the shield?" Mashu couldn't help but think about the possibility.
"Well, this may require a certain degree of tacit understanding. But it's worth a try. Maybe I can find a way to cut both of its wings at the same time and shoot it down." Siegfried said.
"No need...ha...it's too much trouble." At this moment, Ritsuka ran over and said while panting.
"Huh? Where's Albion-chan?" Mashu suddenly noticed that Albion on Ritsuka's back had disappeared.
Ritsuka didn't say anything, but just bent down to adjust his rapid breathing while pointing to the sky.
The two of them hurriedly looked up into the sky again, and only then did they discover a small figure with its wings spread, flying rapidly towards Fafner.
"Roar!"
Just as Albion was about to approach Fafner, a dragon roar suddenly sounded, and Albion's petite body lit up with a silver-white light, and then began to expand rapidly.
A gigantic dragon-like figure reappeared, its size no less than Fafner's. The moment Fafner saw the giant silver-white dragon, she felt as if she were being suppressed, and her body fell downwards.
"boom!!"
The silver dragon took advantage of the moment the light faded and charged directly at Fafner. The two dragons began to wrestle in mid-air.
Dragon claws, wings, tails, heads, and even teeth all became weapons for combat. The roaring sound frightened the other flying wyverns, causing them to fall to the ground one after another.
"Albion-chan is actually such a big dragon? He looks so small, as if he is still a child. If he grows to adulthood, how big will he be?" Mashu couldn't help but sigh.
"So, am I running around with such a huge dragon on my back? No wonder I'm almost exhausted." Ritsuka said half-jokingly, and he had obviously adjusted his breathing at this moment.
"Mashu, Mr. Siegfried, now is not the time to watch the show. Seize this opportunity created for us by Albion-chan! Give it another fatal blow!" Ritsuka immediately commanded.
"Okay!" Siegfried also understood this. He dragged the holy sword Barumk and began to accumulate magic power, while Mash was responsible for setting up the formation to prevent Siegfried's magic power accumulation process from being interrupted.
"coming!"
The silver dragon slammed its head into Fafner's abdomen, knocking her completely into the ground. The silver dragon seemed to have exhausted its strength and shrank back into Albion, falling from the sky.
"Master!" Siegfried looked at Ritsuka and said.
"In the name of Fujimaru Ritsuka, I command you by the Command Seal, Siegfried, use your Noble Phantasm to completely destroy the evil dragon Fafnir!" Ritsuka used the second stroke of the Command Seal to release Siegfried's Noble Phantasm.
“Hah—Bal mung (Fantasy Greatsword: Devil’s Fall)!!!”
Strengthened by the Command Seals, Siegfried's spiritual pressure, the might of his magic, sent waves of energy surging through his body. As Siegfried's voice fell, a massive blue-white beam of light struck the falling Fafner.
"boom!!!!"
A blue-white beam of light shot up into the sky and appeared on the battlefield, causing everyone to look over.
"Did we win?!" Marshal Gil clenched his fists tightly. He felt a sense of relief as if the pressure that had been weighing on him was suddenly lifted.
