The Warrior of Love

"Uh……"

"If we can rely on Adam's power, it won't be difficult to take back the Holy Grail."

"Ugh, Caster... Damn it, is this the end? But I can't just end it like this! The Thousand Worlds Tree will never perish! Forever! The Holy Grail - the Holy Grail!! As long as we have the Holy Grail, everything can be saved! The Holy Grail, ahh ...

——The mad magician was swallowed by the mud, leaving only a few echoes.

Then, Avisbronn seemed to fall into a swamp and his body gradually sank.

"teacher!"

"I'm sorry, Luo Xie. And...goodbye..."

Chapter 440: Powerless Jeanne, Adam's Change

“Ah ...

Invisible sound waves created ripples in the atmosphere, creating huge waves that could blow away everything and turn the surrounding land into a barren area like the Gobi Desert.

Then, countless flowers and plants sprouted from under the giant's feet at an astonishing speed, and soon the barren land became a lush grassland, and then developed into a forest. Countless indistinguishable but extremely gorgeous and vibrant plants grew out...

A pleasant fragrance that makes the body and mind spread, like the sweet fragrance of ripe fruits, and as greasy as honey. Just one breath and you will feel like you are in a paradise far away from hunger.

paradise!

According to legend, the original man Adam was exiled from paradise by the gods, and since then humans have suffered from hardship and hunger. Avisbronn's treasure is based on the concept of "Adam", and it unfolds an inherent barrier called "Paradise"!

Without a host or a source of magic power, the giant can grow infinitely as long as it stands on the ground. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the son of the earth!

But the only human present, Luo Xie, had no time to appreciate this perfect "paradise", because the moment the giant roared, he was blown away by the strong wind.

Although he was considered a magician, he was so immature that he was obviously unable to protect himself from a being of this calamity level. Even if the opponent did not come for him, the aftermath of the aftermath would be enough to shatter him into pieces.

"Ahhh!"

Luo Xie was blown more than ten meters away with a scream. Just when he was about to hit the ground, a beautiful and heroic figure rushed out horizontally, jumped up and caught him in his arms.

"Oh!"

The girl fell to the ground with the weight of two people, creating a shallow pit, but her body did not shake, appearing extremely stable, in stark contrast to her appearance.

"Are you alright? Black Master."

Gently placing Luo Xie on the ground, Jeanne asked with a kind smile.

Luo Xie looked at her blankly and shook his head subconsciously: "It's okay..."

"That's good." Joan of Arc nodded, and then a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Logically speaking, unless one party violated a taboo, she should remain neutral and not favor either side.

But seeing a child like Luo Xie about to die, she subconsciously rushed out...

However, if you think about it carefully, there is no rule that prohibits saving people, and she met him at such a coincidence. This must be the Lord's instruction, asking her to save this lost lamb... Yes, it must be like this!

Since it is the Lord's guidance, there is nothing we can do about it.

Protecting Luo Xie behind her, the holy girl turned around, held the battle flag horizontally with both hands, and looked up fearlessly at the giant Adam who was already more than 20 meters tall.

I have to say that Asvebron's Noble Phantasm is truly amazing. Originally used as a Servant to summon giant beasts or dragons, or even an entire great temple...

It's not a rare thing, but they are all summoned. Their essence is the embodiment of magic, which is just sublimated by the legend of heroes.

But the giant in front of me is different... This thing was actually created in reality!

Jeanne is not a magician and does not have any knowledge in related fields, but as a "Ruler", she can see the true nature of "Adam" and the hidden dangers at a glance.

Because it uses the "soil and stone" of the real world, just like the Sky Garden, even if part of it is destroyed or the host is lost, it will not disappear immediately. It can continue to exist in reality without the need for a support object.

Adam's unique ability allows it to absorb the power of the earth to nourish itself, allowing it to grow almost infinitely.

But the larger it is, the greater the impact of its inherent barrier on the real world will be, and it may eventually cause large-scale distortions that will shake the foundations of the world.

"Paradise" sounds good, but it is a mental landscape that contradicts reality, and its unfolding means eroding the world.

However, Adam cannot stop himself from expanding. The continuous growth and expansion of his inherent barrier is an instinct like breathing for him, and no one can stop it.

And...it will grow faster and faster!

Now twenty meters seems very large, but when it becomes thirty meters, fifty meters, a hundred meters… then it will be impossible to handle.

It must be solved before it grows too big!

"If this continues unchecked, the world will soon face a crisis!"

Jeanne frowned, "Could this be the abnormality of the Holy Grail War? No, the root cause should be the Master of the Red Square... But as expected, this giant cannot be let go!"

Her Highness the Saint, who had a very straightforward train of thought, determined the next course of action: if she saw anything unusual, she would just beat them up!

"drink!"

Joan of Arc leaped up, and the flagpole of the holy flag looked like a spear. She used all her strength to hit the giant's knee without mercy.

"Oh!"

The full force of Muscle B's attack should not be underestimated. It immediately cracked Adam's knees, which then shattered under the pressure of their own mass.

The giant Adam also fell forward to the ground like a human, looking very embarrassed.

But Joan of Arc didn't even have the chance to smile, as Adam's injuries had already begun to heal!

The broken stones seemed to have life and were pulled together at the knee by an invisible force. Soon the broken leg was able to walk normally again.

"hateful!"

Joan of Arc did not give up and charged forward again, just like the many battles she had fought in her life. When faced with danger, she did not retreat but led the charge and bravely moved forward!

And this time it was not just a simple strike. Joan of Arc used the sharp part of the top of the flagpole as if it were a spear, stabbing Adam's ankle like a bomb.

Well, since there is this part on the flagpole, let's put it to use! The Lord must think so too!

However, to her disappointment, even if his legs and feet were broken, Adam's movements would not be affected, because the giant repaired the damage on his body in the blink of an eye.

"Stay away from here, Black Master."

Joan of Arc signaled Luo Xie to leave, and she moved to the front of the original giant Adam in a fair and open manner.

She was prepared, even if she had to use her flesh and blood to fight against the god of steel.

"No passage allowed! We can't let someone like you do whatever you want!"

"hold head high--"

As if in response, the giant Adam raised his huge foot and stepped on Jeanne.

Jeanne took a deep breath, grasped the holy flag tightly, and prepared to charge forward.

"Come on, I am... eh?"

Adam did not target Joan of Arc. Even though the enemy was right in front of him, Adam strode over the holy girl and walked straight into the distance, leaving Joan of Arc with a confused look on her face.

"This direction... is for the Hanging Garden? No... it's for the Greater Holy Grail!"

Chapter 441: Adam Danik

[The Holy Grail... The Holy Grail——]

[That's mine, it belongs only to me! No one can take it away! ]

[Holy Grail! Holy Grail!]

【As long as you have that! 】

The ground kept shaking. A stone giant, nearly thirty meters tall, was running on the earth with slow but firm movements. Every step left deep footprints, and lush and beautiful flowers and plants grew in the depressions. The fragrance spread everywhere, intoxicating people.

It is said to be slow, but because of its size, its absolute speed is actually quite fast. It creates heavy wind pressure while walking, like a runaway train, and no one can stop it.

There was a person trying to stop the giant. She kept waving the flagpole in her hand, specifically targeting the ankles, knees and other places, trying to delay the giant's steps or make the giant lose connection with the earth.

Because it is built to imitate the human body, it has a structure similar to "joints", but it does not rely on muscles for movement. Compared with other parts, these joints are indeed more vulnerable to damage.

Therefore, even though the girl's weapon was not extremely powerful and she only had a tiny bit of strength in attacking, she was able to smash the giant's limbs and successfully stop it several times.

However, the efforts of this servant who looked like a blonde girl were destined to be in vain.

Because no matter how many times it is broken, the damaged part will recover at a speed visible to the naked eye, and each time it will be harder than before, and the growth rate of its body size is also not affected.

When the giant Adam officially exceeded thirty meters, it was difficult for the girl to cause him obvious harm. She could only keep harassing him and try to attract the giant's attention.

But Adam ignored her. Although he would defend and counterattack, he would not actively pursue, nor would he deviate from his route. He always moved in a fixed direction - where the Holy Grail was, with unusually firm steps!

This made Joan of Arc quite distressed.

Adam's target is obviously the Holy Grail, but she must never let it fall into its hands.

You know, Adam is already very powerful now. If he gets the Holy Grail, new changes will definitely occur. It is not impossible for him to grow to the kilometer level in one go...

When that time really comes, it will not be a question of whether or not we can defeat Adam, but rather how to save the world!

However, as a servant who prides herself on her defensive power, Jeanne's offensive power is indeed slightly weak. She has neither a treasure like a holy sword nor martial arts that can rival the heroes of the Age of Gods. She merely relies on her attributes and combat instincts.

It is impossible to destroy Adam without using a Noble Phantasm of anti-military level or above!

Ordinary puppets can try to destroy the core, but Adam is different. Even if its head is destroyed, as long as it is still connected to the earth, it can grow back at an extremely fast speed. This is a desperate endurance ability.

Jeanne does not have firepower powerful enough to surpass her recovery ability.

However, Jeanne was also very confused as to why Adam was so obsessed with the Holy Grail. Without knowing the cause and effect, she could only think that Caster had set it up this way.

But in fact, this matter has nothing to do with Caster!

The giant Adam, who had originally acted on instinct, now had chaotic thoughts inside him, which constantly disrupted his thinking circuits.

——The Holy Grail!

We must get the Holy Grail at all costs!

It was like a curse, eroding its core instructions and logic circuits in every possible way, turning it into a giant pursuing the "Holy Grail".

This was truly an unexpected change. I believe that even Avisbronn, who had anticipated it, did not expect it to be so thorough.

As a puppet tasked with "turning the world into a paradise", Adam is both an active inherent barrier and a true "living being", except that his growth rate is "slightly" faster than that of normal creatures.

When it was first born, it should have been a pure being, and this was also a deliberate setting by Avisbronn, because the original man (Adam) was expelled from paradise by the gods precisely because he possessed self-awareness and wisdom.

However, during Adam's birth this time, the soul of Danic, who was the "core", was mixed in.

Of course, Danic was dead, there was no doubt about that.

The body was disassembled into magic circuits and integrated into the giant's body, and the soul became pure magic power to serve as the giant's nutrients. It was thanks to the excellence of this core and the nourishment of Caster's residual spiritual foundation that Adam grew so fast.

However, Danic is not an ordinary magician, and even death can leave some traces.

He is now 97 years old (although he looks very young). As a magician, his main research direction is "soul", and he has developed black magic that absorbs or merges the souls of others.

This is a research that has absolutely nothing to do with justice, but it cannot deny Danik's talent.

During these 97 years, he successfully performed soul fusion three times, using himself as the main body to devour the soul of the infant Wuque, proving the feasibility of this magic.

His ultimate goal is to improve the precision of his magic in order to achieve fusion with the Heroic Spirits, and to be able to use the Heroic Spirits' techniques while remaining conscious (equivalent to a Sub-Servant).

(Note: In the original plot, Danic was able to forcibly merge himself with the Archduke, one by relying on the study of souls, the other by relying on the Command Spell, and finally by using the "blood-sucking behavior" to curse the Archduke to succeed... It can be seen how difficult it is to merge the Heroic Spirits, and Mashu is indeed a very special individual.)

Although it hasn't come to that yet, what Danic is going to deal with this time is not a heroic spirit, but Adam, who is no different from a baby in a sense.

As a result, although Jodanik was destroyed both physically and spiritually, he successfully stripped away the obsession with the Holy Grail from his spirit and engraved it on Adam's core as a brand.

In this way, Adam will have the additional task of "pursuing the Holy Grail" in addition to the two basic needs of "survival" and "transforming the world".

It won't stop until it is completely destroyed!

"No! If this continues..."

Jeanne struggled to slow down Adam's progress, but Adam, who had grown gradually, could almost ignore her attacks. So it didn't work, and the Adam giant was getting closer and closer to the sky garden.

"Looks like you're in trouble, ma'am!"

Suddenly, a cheerful and cheerful voice was heard, and golden lightning flashed through the air, hitting Adam's chest like a roaring dragon, creating countless cracks and knocking the giant backwards.

The real body of the lightning was bounced back and circled back into the hands of its owner. It turned out to be a huge golden axe with a strange shape.

Its owner is none other than the Red Berserkero Sakata Kintoki!

"It's you?"
