Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

"Woo..."

After the transformation, Atalanta gnashed her teeth and let out a low growl like a wild beast. The aura revealed in her eyes, which had long since turned into those of a ferocious beast, was a murderous intent that seemed to tear everything in front of her into pieces.

Boom! ! !

Atalanta took the initiative.

He quickly passed the longbow in front of him, and purple streams of light flew out from it, diverging into the space in front. Halfway through the flight, they all changed direction and flew towards Xuel together.

An overwhelming rain of arrows burst out and turned into "seeking missiles", bringing Xuer and everything around him into the "bombing" range.

The continuous explosions instantly submerged Shuul, but Atalanta's attack was not over yet.

She shot out a rain of arrows, then suddenly stepped on the ground and rushed into the dust cloud stirred up by the explosion.

The strong wind caused by the extremely fast movement swept away all the fog that filled the venue.

Two figures rushed out from the fog that had not yet dissipated and flew towards the dense forest behind.

As the two figures flew past, everything turned into countless shattered fragments.

The purple arrow burst out from the black bow again, and the huge recoil made Atalanta's body lean back uncontrollably.

A huge energy arrow that broke through the sound barrier shot towards Xuul not far ahead, and instantly shattered into his silver-white breastplate that reflected the moonlight, without even causing a scratch.

"Collecting... 34%"

And this arrow was just the beginning. Atalanta leaned back slightly and immediately turned back, once again gathering all her strength, crushing the ground in front of her and increasing her speed once again.

boom! ! !

The sharp claws "smashed" on the shoulder, and Atalanta concentrated all her strength on her right hand and hit Shul's left shoulder.

The force that increased exponentially due to the speed fell on Xuel, knocking his already light body backwards, crushing the flowers, plants and trees along the way, leaving behind a devastated trench.

Seeing this, Atalanta Chen Sheng gave chase, not giving the enemy a chance to breathe, crushing the ground once again and increasing his speed once more.

Her hair fluttered behind her, gradually "lengthening and stretching" as she moved at high speed. Not only that, Atalanta's body also gradually deformed and "stretched" as she moved at high speed.

In a moment, she once again "flew" in front of Xiuer, who was still flying backwards thousands of miles away.

Then, she saw a red cannon barrel that completely replaced Shul's original left arm. It was the basic weapon of the Ex-Machina and also a weapon that Shul rarely used.

The pitch-black muzzle was aimed at Atalanta, who instinctively felt threatened, and even Atalanta, who had transformed into a wild beast, wanted to "dodge" for a moment.

But she rushed forward actively, without giving herself the opportunity to change direction. Before the attack landed on the target, Atalanta was unable to change direction.

Then, she saw the black gun barrel aimed at her quickly enlarged in her field of vision, and a touch of golden energy quickly condensed in the gun barrel.

—【Open】—【Speed ​​Violation】—

A dazzling and scorching laser shot out from the pitch-black barrel and instantly hit the center of Atalanta's chest.

Bang! ! !

"Kah..."

A violent explosion occurred between the two of them. Atalanta, whose chest turned into a piece of charred flesh, vomited a pool of blood and flew into the dark night sky.

At this moment, the golden light that suddenly burst out behind Xuer quickly stopped his body by pushing in the opposite direction.

The eyes with red crosshairs were fixed on the black figure flying in the air.

Shuul raised his right hand and pointed it towards Archer who was slowly falling.

—【Open】—【Monster Creation】—

Two circular pentagrams engraved with countless magical patterns suddenly appeared on both sides of Atalanta's body.

Then, two huge dragon heads shot out from the magic circle and bit Atalanta's body tightly.

As the magic circle disappeared, two creatures that should not exist in this era were soaring in the sky of this world.

The entire left half of her body and the right leg of her lower body were bitten by two smelly giant mouths. The fangs were deeply embedded in Atalanta's flesh. As the two flying dragons, one red and one green, struggled with each other, countless horrific huge wounds were left.

Blood splattered around Atalanta, and severe pain spread throughout her body, causing Atalanta's nerves to suffer countless pressures.

“Go to hell!!!”

She suddenly let out a heart-wrenching howl, ignoring the tearing pain on her body, and swung the black longbow in her left hand. Purple magic power instantly filled her right arm, and a purple energy arrow as long as a person took shape in her hand.

She clenched her right hand and thrust the long arrow into the eye of the dragon's head that was biting her.

Pfft!

The long arrow pierced through the round milky white sphere, and blood and white sticky substances instantly flew out of the dragon head's eye sockets and splashed onto Atalanta.

"Roar--!!!"

The pain from the piercing eyes caused the dragon's mouth that was biting Atalanta's left half to loosen, and it began to howl in pain.

After her left body was out of the dragon's mouth, Atalanta ignored the fishy saliva all over her body and the horrific wounds all over her left body. The fishy-sweet liquid flowed from her throat and she threw the arrow covered with the blood-white mixture into the eye of the dragon's head that was about to hit her right leg.

Obviously, the dragon that bit her right leg had seen the fate of its companion. When it lost its competitor, it quickly shook its head, shaking Atalanta's body in the air.

The long arrow that was thrown also deviated from its original target, hitting the scales on the flying dragon's head and streaking into the dark night.

The blood splashed in the air turned into rain and fell onto the grass below.

Atalanta's body was covered in blood. Facing the dragon's mouth biting her leg tightly, she used all her strength without fear. In the huge swing, she bent down and grabbed the dragon's mouth with both hands.

She wanted to move away, but the huge bite force made it impossible for her to open the dragon's huge mouth. Instead, her right leg was gradually pierced by the row of sharp teeth.

At this time, the other flying dragon, which had originally let go of its mouth in pain because of its eyes being pierced, also stopped wailing. Its only remaining right eye was bloodshot and was tightly fixed on the black figure mentioned by its companion. Intense hatred was revealed in its dark vertical pupils.

"Roar--!!!"

With a loud dragon roar, the scorching sun condensed in the red dragon's mouth, and the next moment, it breathed towards Atalanta in the green dragon's mouth.

A fireball flew out of the red dragon's mouth, hitting the green dragon's face and completely submerging Atalanta.

As the green dragon howled in pain, a brilliant display of "fireworks" suddenly exploded in the night sky, and the scattered sparks were particularly spectacular under the night sky.

Meanwhile, Shuul, who was on the ground, was calmly "observing" the scene in the sky.

A red crosshair was "engraved" in the pair of golden eyes, and the rapidly shrinking pupils focused on the charred figure falling to the ground.

Thanks to the red dragon's breath, the green dragon, in pain, subconsciously let go, allowing Atalanta to escape.

The body that was completely submerged in the breath did not disappear in the bombing. Not only that, the horrific wounds on Atalanta's body were quickly burned by the breath and the bleeding stopped.

No matter how broken her body was, it could not calm the madness in Atalanta's heart at this moment.

Looking at the two flying dragons swooping down towards her from high in the sky, she raised the pitch-black longbow that had returned to her hand at some point.

The purple arrow generated by magic was quickly put on the bowstring.

"Warning, a rapid increase in magic power has been detected..."

Concentrated purple magic emerged, condensed, and surged in front of Atalanta's bow.

"Get out of my way!!!"

"[Dark Sky Bow/Tauropolos]!!!"

Purple magic burst out from the longbow, instantly brushing past the scales of two swooping dragons that dodged in time and flew into the dark sky.

However, this arrow was different from previous attacks.

hum-

The originally black sky was instantly painted with "purple" to form a vast "disk".

It also includes Atalanta, Shur, Achilles and Karna who are far away in the sky.

……

"This noise... could it be?!!"

At this time, Achilles had already fallen to the ground, relying on the meteor spear in front of him to barely block the flaming spear that was piercing his heart. It was precisely because of this posture of lying on the ground facing the sky that he was the first to discover the sky that was quickly covered with purple energy.

Karna was also attracted by this change. He divided his attention to observing the change and slightly reduced the strength in his hands.

The next second, countless purple arrows fell from the sky like a rainstorm, covering everything under the sky within the bombardment range.

……

Chapter 57: Hunting

3: 10AM

Somewhere at the critical point...

"Well……"

When Semiramis awoke from her coma, she was already in a different place.

The flames that surrounded him, the high temperature that filled the entire space, the master who was separated to one side, who had originally advanced and retreated together, and the culprit who was obviously petite but held a giant double-edged battle axe, who was responsible for turning the entire church into a sea of ​​fire.

All disappeared.

All that's left is this strange, boundless, empty space with nothing but white.

"here it is……?"

There were gaps in his memory, making it difficult for the Crimson Assassin to comprehend his current situation.

"I remember... I was fighting that terrifying guy just now..."

She covered her head and tried to recall her previous memories, from being summoned, to controlling the red master, to discussing the sudden intrusion of a third party with her own master, to someone sneaking into the church while they were chatting...

until……

The huge red axe blade, wrapped in high-temperature red flames, broke through all defenses and slashed towards him.

"Woo!"

Semiramis felt a sudden palpitation in her heart. She raised her hand to cover her chest, and a phantom pain came from the flesh under her hand.

She quickly used her magic to check her body. The image of the fire-wrapped axe blade piercing her chest in her memory was particularly clear and real.

That was definitely not a dream, it was something that really happened.

In the memory of the Assyrian queen, the pain of being burned by the flames on the red battle axe is so clear. The feeling of being burned from within her internal organs cannot be an illusion.

"so……"

Covering her head, she broke out in a cold sweat as she recalled everything that happened, including the roar after being hit by the giant axe.

"I'm alive?"

She said so, but the current environment did not seem like she was alive. However, as a servant, if she died, she should have left on the spot.

Every Servant summoned in the Holy Grail War is a "copy and paste" of the original incarnation on the Throne of Heroes, so normally, if Semiramis is summoned again, she shouldn't have any memory of the previous battle.

This also means that she is not dead yet.

But if it wasn't an illusion...

Then why is the wound on his chest, which should be there, not there?

And there is this space!

"...An inherent barrier?"

The golden and silver eyes quickly scanned the surrounding environment, taking in the barren land with nothing but "white".

She could only rely on the knowledge in her mind and attribute this space, which was obviously not real, to the most reasonable thing in her cognition - [Inherent Barrier].

Could it be "them"?

Semiramis pinched her smooth chin and began to think about the current situation.

The "they" she was referring to were naturally the "men in black" who suddenly broke into the Holy Grail War and disrupted the situation, also known as the "Schulls".

Of course, she still doesn't know the true identities of those men in black, let alone the purpose of the Shuuls.

"How long was I unconscious?"

A lot of questions appeared in Semiramis's mind, but few of them were answered.

After all, everything is just her unilateral speculation. Except that she herself has not left the stage yet, the rest of the speculation has no decisive factors to confirm it.
