The Warrior of Love

The fierce sword pressure cut off one of the monster's tentacles, and a hoarse and piercing roar of pain echoed throughout the prison.

Jiang Liu took advantage of this opportunity to jump high, flip over the monster's head, and at the same time swung an extremely swift sword, completely cutting off the monster's arm that was used to block!

“Ahhhhhhhh!!”

Before the monster's roar stopped, streams of black mud surged at the wound, and the broken limbs seemed to be fused together again as if attracted by some gravity...

Unfortunately, the magic sword that caused these wounds was called "Immortal Slash", and things cut by Jiang Liu were not so easy to recover.

As a result, the wounds continued to dissolve but could never return to their original state, which looked extremely disgusting.

But soon, the black mud on the wounds slowly fell off like rotten meat. A wave of magical power flashed, and new black mud surged out from the inside, reshaping the arm.

"Ok?"

Jiang Liu was slightly surprised and looked down at the Immortal Sword in his hand.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about this...it's quite troublesome."

Just when Jiang Liu was planning to refine his magic power and use a large-scale attack to solve the problem, a staggering figure entered his field of vision, causing him to temporarily hold back.

"Count...Edmond?"

Chapter 502: Long time no see, I'm back, Father

The person who stood up staggeringly in the corner of the field of vision was none other than the Avenger, Edmond Dantès, with a huge hole in his chest.

It's incredible. He doesn't have the "battle continuation" ability, so he should have disappeared immediately after his soul core was destroyed, but he has persisted until now.

Of course, his strong will had a great impact, but his third treasure was the one that truly created the miracle.

In addition to the super-fast "Tiger, Blazing" and the "Count of Monte Cristo" whose real name is hidden, the Avengers have a third Noble Phantasm:

[Wait and hope (Attendre, Espérer)]!

This is the only blinding glimmer of hope in the darkness filled with evil, despair and regret.

As the name suggests, it is a treasure that can preserve hope and reverse the situation in desperate situations!

It acts directly on the spirit base or the physical body, and can restore one of "our" people from a near-death state straight back to their prime!

Although the Earl's entire spiritual core has been destroyed, he is no longer in the so-called "near death" state, but is no different from death. Even with the third treasure, it cannot truly reverse the situation.

But just repairing the surface spiritual foundation and giving oneself temporary mobility... is still no problem.

But it is hard to imagine what Dantes can do in this state.

It should be noted that he, like the Gemini, is a "human" who is restrained by the monster of original sin, and he is also an avenger whose entire heart was once occupied by hatred, so the restraint is even more obvious.

Not to mention now, even in his prime, he probably wouldn't be able to cause any substantial damage to the sin monster.

"it's not finished yet!"

The vengeful ghost asserted: "It is not time for me to leave yet, and the gate of this prison has not been opened. The sinful souls are still imprisoned here... In this case, let me stop you, Father!"

hum!

The flickering flames rose above the Avenger's body. His spiritual foundation, which had been barely repaired, collapsed and released a large amount of magic power, causing Jiang Liu to stare sideways.

"Avenger, you..."

“I’ll create opportunities.”

The Count said in a deep voice: "The core is the Holy Grail. Without infinite magic support, the scale of original sin cannot continue to expand. As long as the Holy Grail can be seized, this monster will disappear. The only problem is how to find the deeply buried Holy Grail... Let me do it!"

Jiang Liu was silent. In fact, even without the help of others, Jiang Liu was confident that he could destroy this monster.

But he couldn't refuse the vengeful ghost because, as the man said, it was he who should have been the one to stop the priest.

"Then please."

“Kuhahaha!!”

The figure of the vengeful ghost was surrounded by flames, completely losing its own outline and turning into a series of phantoms that surrounded the monster from all directions.

"You only have one chance, remember to aim for the core!"

The dissipating spiritual base released the last of its light like burning firewood. Under the phantom of flames, the Avenger's body moved faster and faster, gradually surpassing the limitations of space, creating physical clones that continuously shot scorching flames at the monster.

"Oooooooo-"

The monster swung its tentacles wildly, sweeping away many phantoms in the space each time, but it was immediately filled with new phantoms.

quick!quick!quick!

At this moment, the Avengers' speed could no longer be described by the panel numbers. Every time a clone was killed, two more would be created immediately.

Even though he was able to transcend the constraints of time and space, he was still pursuing a faster realm, and the flames formed by his magic power became more and more refined and powerful.

“Hahaha, Kuhaha——Ahahaha!! Please accept it, Father. This is my greatest respect!”

Nearly a hundred clones overlapped in the space, the only thing in common was the blazing magic fire in their hands.

hum! !

In an instant, hundreds of scorching demonic fires turned into a torrent and hit the demon of original sin, completely submerging its huge body.

"【Tiger, blazing with brilliance】!"

The powerful magical impact shattered the monster's shell, which peeled off like scorched sand, revealing the core inside that sparkled like crystal.

call--

A flash of light swept across the entire space, and all the Avengers' clones were shattered like bubbles when they came into contact with the flash of light, and the battlefield suddenly became quiet.

The remaining black mud almost immediately covered the core, but at this time another magical power with a strong presence rose up.

"Declare: You are the enemy of the world! Stars, listen to the suffering of this world, this is... a battle to save the world!"

The pitch-black magic sword was covered with brilliant golden light and instantly turned into a sacred long sword, which was tightly grasped and raised high by Jiang Liu.

"Sure win - 'The stars shine here'!"

The extremely dazzling light covered everything, and it passed by like a tsunami or a storm, transforming into an indestructible blade of light that engulfed the monster that symbolized original sin. The golden blade pierced through the core...

-

"It looks like this singularity is going to disappear. What a pity. I don't know when we will meet again."

When the entire prison tower was shaking slightly and was about to fall apart, Jiang Liu smiled and said to Li Xiang.

"Take care of yourself. Next time when you need me, just recite my name in your heart. Then we can fight side by side, Ritsuka."

"elder brother……"

Ritsuka was about to reach out his hand, but he suddenly felt his vision go dark!

call!

Lying on the hospital bed in Chaldea, Ritsuka slowly opened her eyes, looking confused and tired.

"Senior, you finally woke up!"

The sub-servant girl who had been waiting nearby said in surprise: "You've been unconscious for several days... I was worried to death."

"Me?" Ritsuka's voice was a little hoarse, "What's going on?"

"The doctor said that a negative force has pulled the senior's soul to another place. You can only rely on yourself... Fortunately, everything is fine."

Mashu said with lingering fear: "It seems to be because of the person I met in the fourth singularity..."

"That guy?" Ritsuka thought of King Solomon who claimed to be the Grand Servant.

"But it's already this time... We've even conquered the sixth singularity, why is it happening now?"

"It seems to be because of the different speeds of time flow... Maybe, the doctor and Da Vinci-chan can't tell."

"Um……"

After getting a rough understanding of the situation, Lixiang felt relieved, but he couldn't resist the tiredness and yawned loudly.

"It's the singularity in the dream...Brother Jiang Liu, when can we meet again?"

-

The damp and cold sea breeze felt familiar and disgusting. The man returned to this place again, but his identity was no longer a lowly prisoner.

The former Despair Prison has been abandoned. Both the jailers and the prisoners have disappeared, leaving only dilapidated buildings and various dusty equipment.

Looking at these things buried by the dust of time, the man suddenly laughed at himself.

At the beginning, these things brought me unforgettable pain and despair, but now it seems that they really have no magic, they are just some metal and wood.

The man walked up the stone steps step by step and came to his former residence, where he was imprisoned as a criminal.

But now, he came to inspect the real estate he had just purchased as the owner of this land.

"Humph!"

There was no need for a key. The originally sturdy iron door had been clogged with rust at the keyhole due to years of disrepair and erosion by the sea breeze. Even if he took out the key, it would be useless... Besides, he had never intended to go in like that.

Bang!

The man, who despite his age still maintained a daily exercise routine, kicked the door open and walked in with a dignified manner.

Even though it had been abandoned for many years, there still seemed to be a faint stench of decay in the air... Maybe it was just the man's neurosis.

In the past, no sunlight could shine into this place, and the only thing the prisoners could hope for was the cool moonlight that shone in at midnight.

Now, the dark clouds covering the Chateau d'If have long since dissipated, and the bright sunshine shines in through the rear window. The dust dancing in the light appears exceptionally clear.

The man did not feel sad about the passing of time, nor did he miss his past. You have to know that his purpose of coming here was not to "return home in glory."

Many years ago, he left this prison with hatred and hope.

After so many years, not long ago he ended his obsession and completed his revenge.

So now he came back with only hope.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

The man took out an object that had been hidden in a shadow corner and never seen sunlight, and placed it under the warm sunlight.

This is a relic of a certain priest, who was like a father and teacher to the man.

"I'm back... No, I'm here to take you out of here, Father."

Chapter 503: Jiang Liu’s six great protections!

Under the gorgeous sea of ​​stars, in a beautiful field of blossoming flowers, Jiang Liu quietly stared at a translucent golden crystal in his hand, the texture of which was between crystal and metal.

The prison tower is a very special place. Although it is a real "singularity", it is not on the surface of the world, but in a different dimension between reality and fantasy.

Ritsuka seemed to be able to act normally there, but in fact he was something like a consciousness or a soul. After the prison tower was conquered, he returned to the real world and was unable to take away the crystal condensed by the magic power of the Holy Grail.

But unlike Ritsuka who was a mortal, Jiang Liu was active in the prison tower in the form of a spirit base, so when he returned to the inner sea of ​​​​the star, he took the crystal back - although he failed to support Ritsuka, it was better than wasting it.

With the idea that a thief never leaves empty-handed, no, with the idea of ​​being thrifty and frugal, Jiang Liu recovered such a huge amount of magic power. However, now he began to worry about how to deal with it.

The strength of his spiritual base in Type-Moon is sufficient for now, and it can even be said that it has reached a "limit" in a certain sense. If it goes any higher, it will more or less attract resistance from the inhibitory force, so there is no need for a second upgrade in the short term.

Then, of course, the Holy Grail this time should be used to strengthen one's own strength.

Although it is not the original Holy Grail, but just a mass-produced version of a certain Demon King, its magic power alone is still quite impressive, and no matter what aspect you invest in, you can reap great rewards.

Jiang Liu was struggling with this.

His physical strength is already very high, and the Holy Grail can improve it by a small level, but there will be no fundamental breakthrough, and it cannot even allow him to advance from the "perfect form" to the "ultimate form".

In fact, Jiang Liu has been stuck at the "perfect form" for such a long time, with no signs of breakthrough and no feeling of rapid growth as before, so he suspects that the "ultimate form" cannot be achieved simply by training the body and accumulating strength.

Other aspects, such as domineering, total magic power, light and dark energy, and mecha summoning... all have the same problem: investing in any of them can improve strength, but there will be no absolute change.

In the final analysis, his current strength in the Type-Moon world can almost be regarded as a "living god". Even in his spiritual state, he can compete with powerful beings like Quetzalcoatl. A mass-produced Holy Grail can certainly be icing on the cake, but that's all.

Of course, there is actually a huge gap between the power levels in the Type-Moon world. Jiang Liu can remain calm no matter facing servants or gods, but if he encounters a cheating Demon King... he is still too naive.

Erasing the human history since the Age of Gods, taking the planet back in time and so on... Honestly speaking, even Jiang Liu now cannot compare to it.

Although he knew that the Demon King had a fatal weakness, he could not remain calm when facing such a huge existence. After all, there was no guarantee that the situation would develop along the original plot line.

"No, I am indeed getting closer to that goal step by step. My efforts so far are definitely not in vain."

We must stop the "incineration of humanity" and return to a peaceful life!
