The Warrior of Love

When even the air can potentially become a medium for toxins, hoping to completely avoid toxins is undoubtedly a luxury, so it is best to fight with the awareness that you may be poisoned from the very beginning!

"drink!"

Siegfried took the lead, surpassing Joan of Arc and charging towards the tilted throne.

His durability is A, which means that as long as he is not infected with something troublesome like "Hydra Poison", he can hold on for a while even if he is poisoned.

"Get out!"

Semiramis waved his hand, and countless chains rushed out from the shining magic circle, rushing towards him like dense poisonous snakes.

But this time, Siegfried was prepared and did not dodge. Instead, he raised the greatsword coated with magical light and broke through the chains head-on.

"Well!"

Siegfried felt something strange in his chest, and his heart sank, but his hands did not stop moving. A considerable amount of magic power burst out from the Dusk Sword and swept towards the throne.

Although a small Noble Phantasm is not as powerful as a full Noble Phantasm, it is enough to destroy a building.

Semiramis didn't have the Agility to escape, but she didn't need to.

Her eyes turned cold, and with a tap of her finger, a translucent shield with layers of layers that looked like fish scales appeared in front of her.

The sword energy of dusk swept across, but was firmly blocked by the shield, and did not hurt the empress at all!

"What is that?" Siegfried's eyes widened slightly, but he quickly calmed down.

Semiramis is a demigod, so it's not surprising that she has this kind of armor, but since she is protected by a shield, it's probably difficult for long-range attacks to pose a threat to her.

"Since you want to die so much, I will grant your wish, great hero."

The empress looked at Siegfried teasingly, and with a thought, a magic channel that exuded an ominous aura like a swamp opened up, and a magical beast head as big as a heavy truck stretched out and let out an earth-shaking roar at the white-haired swordsman!

"This demon beast..."

Joan of Arc looked at the ferocious head in surprise, which looked like a dragon or a giant snake.

"Is it... a fantasy species?"

"Welcome to your death, Ruler, Saber."

The empress declared with a smile. At her call, more than one passage opened, and all the powerful magical beasts at the fantasy level poked their heads out.

Suddenly, Siegfried and Jeanne were surrounded by the monsters.

"But before that, please struggle as hard as you can and please me with your stupid death!"

Chapter 457: Elegy for the Strongest Dragon Slayer!

Judging from her panel attributes alone, the Empress cannot be considered a very powerful Servant, and she is not even very competent for the job of [Assassin]. After all, she can't even hide her aura.

But this "world's oldest poisoner" possesses top-notch magical talent and is a rare witch even in the Age of Gods. As long as she is given enough time, she can unleash a power that will shock everyone.

If it were an ordinary Holy Grail War, in just one or two weeks, Semiramis would probably be unable to do anything, and at most would be just an inefficient poison-type Assassin - her agility and "stealth aura" were ridiculously low.

But this time she encountered a Holy Grail War with a total of fifteen Servants, met a Master who had been digging in the desert of the Middle East for decades, and successfully threw the Master's life savings into the construction of a Noble Phantasm...

When the Noble Phantasm "Hanging Gardens of Vanity" was completed, Empress Semiramis surpassed the ordinary first-class and TOP levels and became a "strategic-level" servant with a special status.

If it weren't for a major faction war, and both sides had multiple servant-level combat forces available, it would be wishful thinking for a single person to contribute to the Sky Garden.

It is no exaggeration to say that the empress who dominates the Sky Courtyard is the most important existence in the Red Camp, and her role is irreplaceable.

Even though the Hanging Gardens had fallen to the ground and were being invaded by the Black Faction, Empress Semiramis was still able to handle two top servants at the same time with ease.

In the final analysis, she is an assassin who is more like a magician than a magician. As long as she is in her own "workshop", she is not afraid of any powerful enemy!

For example, at this moment, inside the palace, she can transform the entire space into a poisonous field, and even the servant with the highest durability cannot hold on for long.

On top of this, she can even summon powerful poison-type monsters, any one of which can fight a Servant on equal terms.

——She couldn’t do this outside of the Hanging Garden.

It can only be said that launching an attack on the Sky Garden where she is in charge is an extremely risky act in itself, and even the great heroes in mythology cannot bear the consequences.

At this moment, Joan of Arc, the savior of France, is facing a test.

If it was a physical attack, she would not be afraid of even a castle-killing Noble Phantasm, and she would not lose to anyone in terms of defense, but if it was a poison... although her body was stronger than that of an ordinary person, her resistance to the poison was only average.

To her, fighting Empress Semiramis was an unfair game of tag.

No matter how fierce the battle is, she must not reveal any flaws. Once caught, death will await her!

But despite this, as a "Ruler", she must not retreat!

"Sir Saber, let's go together. The Holy Grail is not far behind us. We must hurry—"

"no……"

"Yes, let's both work harder... eh?"

Jeanne was startled: "Sir Saber, what did you just do?"

“I said ‘no.’ ”

Unexpectedly, Siegfried rejected Joan of Arc's proposal.

"I can't fight with you."

The Saint Girl opened her eyes wide in disbelief: "What did you say?"

"In this situation, even if two people attack together, it will only be a waste of combat power and increase the number of casualties in vain."

That’s right, it’s not a question of whether or not you can win.

It is not impossible to defeat the empress, after all, they are also world-famous heroes. However, what are the chances of not being contaminated by toxins in the process?

Probably zero.

Siegfried said calmly, "I don't think that's a good idea."

"even so!"

Joan of Arc tightly grasped the holy flag: "Are we going to retreat here? We are only one step away from the Greater Holy Grail!"

"Yes, so we can't retreat." Siegfried nodded.

"What do you mean?" Joan of Arc seemed to understand something.

"Please step back, Ruler."

Taking firm and powerful steps, Black Saber stood in front of the Saint, leaving her defenseless back to her.

"I will end this battle!"

Those brief words contained unimaginable determination, and the golden-haired saint girl held her breath.

“Saber! This—”

"I'm not very smart... Although I'm sung by bards as a dragon-slaying hero, I just use this power to mechanically fulfill the wishes of others. I've never made anyone truly happy, and my own ending is both sad and ridiculous."

Siegfried turned around and gave Jeanne a calm and relaxed smile.

"Even so, I know what the Servant's mission is. Ruler, you have your mission, and you must preserve your life before retrieving the Holy Grail. But I am different. I only know how to fight, and this is all I can do."

"Saber..."

"Hmph! Are you done?"

The cruel queen on the throne was obviously a little impatient and had no interest in the conversation between Saber and Ruler. It was just unknown why she had waited patiently until now...

Ah, the reason is clear if you look around.

A group of ferocious and slender monsters lurked in the palace, surrounding the two heroes. Under their bodies was a sticky venom like a swamp.

This is nothing. The most eye-catching thing is a "big snake" that has just been summoned.

Although other monsters are also huge, they are nothing compared to this one.

It is estimated that if the winding body is stretched out, it would be more than a hundred meters long. Its head has obvious dragon characteristics and is more oppressive than any other monster.

If other magical beasts are just at the ordinary fantasy level, then this one can be regarded as the pinnacle of fantasy - a divine beast.

In terms of pure power, it may not be comparable to the Thunder Emperor's "ram", but in terms of danger, it is countless times more dangerous, because just its breath will continuously spew out a terrifying pale green poisonous gas...

——His name is "Bashom".

This is a monster in Babylonian mythology, one of the 11 monsters created by Tiamat, the mother of all things.

Even the Empress couldn't summon this thing completely in an instant. The wait just now was not an act of patience towards Saber and the others, but simply to complete the summoning ritual for this guy.

There were about eight or nine fantasy monsters, plus a giant snake of the divine beast level, each of which carried a deadly poison that could kill a person instantly - it was a desperate situation within a desperate situation!

However, the Sword Heroic Spirit looked fearless!

"Siegfried, the Ergodic Knight of the Netherlands."

"Hmph, stop talking nonsense."

Having summoned enough combat power, the empress no longer had even a trace of patience.

"Go to hell, Sa--"

hum! !

The loud sound of the sword cut off the Red Assassin's words. In Semiramis's eyes, a brilliant twilight sword light bloomed in the void!

Zheng——

The Dusk Demon Sword swung out a sword pressure of dozens of meters, and the arc-shaped blade of light swept across, and the hideous and terrifying snakes were cleanly cut in half!

Hard scales, useless!

Strong muscles, useless!

Sharp fangs, useless!

Cursed vertical pupils, useless!

The monsters that were able to fight on equal terms with the Servants were mercilessly cut in two by the greatsword of steel before they could even display a single bit of their strength!

With just one small release, the Demon Sword Barumong killed four giant snakes!

Then, the man began to charge—

Stepping through the sticky venom swamp, stepping on the extremely smelly blood of monsters, crossing the disgusting internal organs, turning over the still struggling and jumping corpses, the white-haired hero was stained with green poisonous blood and wielded the magic sword expressionlessly.

Zheng!

Cut the big snake rushing towards him in half with one stroke.

Zheng!

Penetrate the entire ferocious open mouth.

Zheng!

Cut open the snake's body that was wrapped around it.

There were no unnecessary movements, and every swing of the sword accurately slaughtered the monsters. Rather than being an invincible warrior, he was more like an efficient killing machine.

The hero, known for his defensive abilities, now reveals his hidden side, transforming from a moving castle into a dragon-slaying demon.

No big snake could stop him, and in just a few breaths he destroyed most of the line that the empress had worked so hard to build. In the end, the one that stood in his way was a mythical beast named Bashum.

Even the top Servants cannot quickly defeat this being that stands at the pinnacle of the Fantasy Species—

Facing the gaping bloody mouth of Bashuam and the poisonous breath gushing out, Siegfried rushed directly into the snake's mouth without any pause.

--boom!

The sword light of dusk pierced the belly of the big snake. The hero holding the magic sword cut off the ribs and blood vessels of the beast and tore the huge dragon heart into pieces!

Although it is not instantaneous continuous firing, compared to ordinary anti-military treasures, Siegfried's phantom sword has an overwhelmingly fast reloading speed!

"impossible!"

Queen Semiramis looked at this scene in disbelief. Although she had long known that Siegfried had the legend of being a "dragon slayer", the scene before her was still too exaggerated.

This can no longer be explained by simple compatibility and attribute restraint!

However, she didn't actually have much time to react, because Saber moved very quickly!

It was so fast that Semiramis felt like he was in front of her in the blink of an eye.

"Do not come near me!"
