Zongman: Evolution Paradise

When the [Roar of Terror] swept through the enchanted barrier, he became the only one who was unaffected.

Sensing that Archer was in trouble, Shirou Emiya suppressed his discomfort and channeled the Black Grail's magic even more intensely.

Moreover, as the de facto Master of the seven Heroic Spirits, Shirou Emiya can do even more.

For example, directly recalling these heroic spirits.

"Shirou Emiya, you don't need to learn any command skills, nor is that something you can easily learn right now. You just need to retract the defeated Servants into your body and wait for the opportunity to deploy them again."

These were the words that Archer (Red A) said to him, and Shirou Emiya always kept them in mind.

As Medusa's [Blade of Undying Slaughter] tore through Gilgamesh's neck, Shirou Emiya's recall order was also issued!

Just as Medusa's [Blade of Undying Slaughter] cleaved through the black mud, sending Gilgamesh's head flying into the sky, with a whoosh, the magic of the Black Grail transformed into a sphere and enveloped Gilgamesh.

Failed?

It doesn't matter, Medusa will change her target.

Just like Gongsun Zan's White Horse Cavalry, Medusa's Pegasus, in the name of death, circled the battlefield of the King's Army three times!

The target this time is Iskandar!

The ten thousand heroic spirits he summoned were invaluable nourishment, instantly dissolved by Medusa's [Temple of Ten Thousand Demons], resulting in Medusa now dominating the battlefield with almost no shortage of magic power.

Iskandar is a Rider. Although he also possesses a powerful melee Noble Phantasm, it is not exactly his forte. Archer is worried that he will be instantly killed as soon as he comes into contact with Medusa, just like Diarmuid.

When the heroic spirits in [King's Army] die, he stays behind and his duty is only to maintain this inherent barrier!

"When I demonstrate the power of the Temple of Ten Thousand Demons before you, I know you will no longer summon heroic spirits to give me the opportunity to absorb magic power."

So, die!

[The Blade of Slaughter] spun three times, and the scythe, bearing Iskandar's severed head, declared victory.

[You killed Rider Iskandar]

[You have obtained Iskandar's treasure chest]

[Your Quest - The Eighth Servant Who Shouldn't Have Appeared Has Been Progressed Up]

At this moment, Archer, whose body had been pierced by Esdeath's ice crystals, also regained his senses.

"Emiya Shirou!"

He shouted, he unleashed his Noble Phantasm, and then Archer caught a glimpse of Shirou Emiya's state.

As Gilgamesh was forcibly recalled, beads of sweat rolled down Shirou Emiya's forehead.

The Black Grail has become unstable...

"..."

Without saying anything more, Red A's gaze swept across the battlefield.

With Kiritsugu Emiya transferred away, Iskandar and Diarmuid instantly killed, Lancelot and Gilles de Reyna have no chance of taking down Saber anytime soon.

Now, only he and the wounded Gilgamesh remain on the front lines, while on the other side are Medusa, whom he has never seen before, Heroic Spirits in armor whom he has never seen before, and Medea, who can cast Reality Marbles.

"Retreat..."

“Since the other side comes from that place, there must be other people like him in this world. If he has such strength, others should be about the same.”

"Retreat...look for an opportunity..."

That's the tactic, but the problem now is that Red A has no way to retreat!

They are now inside a fixed barrier, not in Fuyuki City outside.

Should I close the enchanted barrier and leave immediately?

Red A wanted to too, but this inherent barrier was no longer under his control alone.

With Iskandar's death, only [Unlimited Blade Works] and [Soul House] remain locked in a battle for supremacy in this space. Before this battle ends, Archer cannot simply leave as he sees fit.

This is also why Jolyne and Medea had to fight for control of the weather from the very beginning.

"So what should we do?"

Red A was pondering when he suddenly realized that something was forcibly squeezing into this inherent barrier.

Chapter 252 Joan of Arc, My Saint

As Medusa eliminated another enemy, Archer was pondering something, as was Jolyne.

Since the battle could not take place in Fuyuki City, Iskandar released [Army of the King], placing the battlefield within this Reality Marble.

If it's just Red A, they can decide the course of the battle at will, whether it's restricting the enemy's escape when they have the advantage or retreating when they're at a disadvantage.

Jolyne could not accept such a thing, but fortunately Medea had previously created the Yinluo Spiritual Palace, which could release the [Spiritual Palace].

When Iskandar died, the Royal Army collapsed, and the battle of Reality Marbles was reduced to Unlimited Blade Works and Reifu. No one could leave this place without permission until the battle ended and the other Reality Marble was destroyed.

Of course, Jolyne can leave; the Reality Marble cannot restrict the workshop's teleportation.

Medea manipulated the Yinluo Spirit Palace to collect Iskandar's remnant soul, then moved closer to her master.

Given the current battle situation, Archer is undoubtedly at a disadvantage. Unless he is willing to let all the remaining Servants return to Shirou Emiya's body and hide there, allowing Jolyne and Medea to figure out how to complete the other two tasks on Shirou Emiya's body, it is only a matter of time before the remaining four Servants die.

The former is impossible, so he either needs to unleash his full power or retreat.

To retreat, Medea must first be killed to break the restrictions of the [Spiritual Abode].

Medea, knowing this, naturally wouldn't give Archer any chance. She always positioned herself far from the front lines, and without Kiritsugu Emiya as an assassin, the remaining Servants couldn't possibly defeat her.

-

On the other side of the battlefield, Saber is struggling to cope with the attacks from Lancelot and Gilles de Rais.

The strongest of the Knights of the Round Table has appeared in the world as a Berserker. His Strength, Agility and Endurance are all at the A level. In addition to his superb martial arts, he also has a Noble Phantasm [Indestructible Lake Light] that can be used to attack dragons.

Saber, on the other hand, possesses the blood of a red dragon.

"Arthur! Arthur! Arthur!"

Lancelot screamed hysterically, but his demonic sword slashed down once more.

Saber's expression turned serious as she raised the Sword of Victory and Oath and clashed it against the Immortal Lake. The resulting wind pressure created vortexes around them.

She had tried to persuade Lancelot, but unfortunately, the knight was no longer just berserk; the Black Grail was also constantly influencing his mental core.

However, Saber's appearance did have some impact on him.

Upon hearing Yukino Yukinoshita's command, Saber's expression was complicated. She asked in Jolyne's tone, "Lord Lancelot, what are your feelings when you wield your sword in front of your king?"

Even the irrational Lancelot froze for a moment in the face of this problem, causing Saber's holy sword to break free from the struggle and unleash a beam attack on the sea monster attacking from behind.

That was summoned by Gilles de Rais, who was a Caster. Although he was a magician, Gilles de Rais did not actually know any magic. All his magic came from his Noble Phantasm, [The Book of the Conch City]. This Noble Phantasm could summon monsters from another world without limit. Moreover, the seafood soul in [Spirit Mansion] seemed to have reacted with this Noble Phantasm, making the monsters summoned by the Noble Phantasm particularly terrifying.

The two of them can be considered among the top Heroic Spirits under the control of the Black Grail.

Saber was able to hold them off largely thanks to her looks.

Hmm...appearance.

"Joan of Arc! My saint!"

Gilles de Reichsage shouted hysterically, even more enthusiastically than Lancelot, as if trying to prove that he was the biggest fan of Saber.

"However, you've mistaken me for someone else!"

Saber, looking completely bewildered, hacked and slashed at the bizarre sea monsters. What was supposed to be a serious battle was turned into a comedy by these two.

One of you is calling him Arthur, and the other is calling him Joan of Arc. Can't you have a fight first to decide what to do?

It was like a fan shouting "Wang Junkai!" while a security guard scolded him, saying, "This is Yi Yangqianxi!" But then Yi Yangqianxi took off his mask and politely introduced himself: "Hello everyone, I'm Wang Yuan."

Gilles de Rais, you're a fake fan!

However, this is also why Saber can deal with both Lancelot and Gilles de Rais simultaneously, delaying the battle and creating more favorable conditions for Medusa to deal damage.

-

The focus shifts back to the main battlefield.

When Gilgamesh was taken back into Shirou Emiya's body, the main battlefield became a situation where Medusa, Esdeath, and Medea besieged Archer.

It's not accurate to say that the three heroes fought Lü Bu; it's more accurate to say that Guan Yu killed Hua Xiong while the wine was still warm.

Hmm... Jolyne warmed the wine, Esdeath and Medea watched from the side, and Medusa defeated Archer with three strikes.

Jolyne was keeping an eye on Medea, and had only two Command Seals left, ready to be used at any time, in case the opposing Archer suddenly pulled out some Paradise item to unleash a burst of power.

For example, a player in this world might have used Frostmourne, which happened to be seen by Red Archer.

Fortunately, Archer did not show any signs of this. Jolyne saw that Medusa was rushing towards him, and Esdeath's ice sealed off the surrounding area.

At that moment, Red A suddenly moved.

He looked up at the sky with a puzzled expression, and then the barrier suddenly shattered.

That's right, broken!

Like ceramics cracking in the alternation of extreme cold and extreme heat, both [Spirit Mansion] and [Unlimited Blade Works] emitted cracking sounds under some kind of influence.

click!

click!

Click!

The enchanted barrier shattered with a deafening roar!

"see you later."

Red A stared at Jolyne, his eyes conveying what he wanted to say.

[Unlimited Blade Works] and [Soul Palace] are different. The former is released by Archer himself, while the latter is activated by Medea controlling the Soul Palace.

The moment Medea was affected by the Reality Marble, Archer (Red A) realized that something was happening.

"A chance to retreat..."

A golden opportunity presented itself, and Archer returned to Shirou Emiya's body. At the same time, Lancelot and Gilles Dre received orders to evacuate.

At the same time, Medea coughed up a mouthful of blood. She was just a magician, and the attack that forcibly shattered her natural barrier had caused her considerable injuries.

"No way..."

Witnessing the sudden change, Jolyne's eyes surveyed every part of the battlefield.

Esdeath and Medusa, who were originally rushing towards Archer, were suddenly unable to keep up with Shirou Emiya's movements due to the unexpected turn of events. Lancelot and Gilles de Rais were about to be forcibly removed from the battlefield, and Saber was powerless to stop them.

Without hesitation, Jolyne made the most appropriate decision.

He said in Gilles de Rais's direction, "Joan of Arc appeared in the Fourth Holy Grail War. When history repeated itself, she was burned at the stake by Archer and sent to such a filthy Black Grail. Gilles de Rais, why didn't you protect her!"

Gilles Dreyfus froze. He looked at Saber in front of him and realized that his saintess had died before his eyes once again.

"Joan of Arc, my saint..."

A murmured cry, like a delirious whisper, was squeezed out from between Gilles de Rais's teeth. There were no tears; he simply stuffed the [Snail Annihilation City Text] into his body, which was made of black mud.

Then, a colossal sea monster, like an ancient god, descended upon the battlefield. For some unknown reason, this sea monster was exceptionally terrifying, its body, thousands of meters long, wreaking havoc with black tentacles and crab claws.

A black vortex of magic enveloped Gilles de Rais, who had once again lost a saint, and the surging black mud evoked a sense of Gatanothor's apocalyptic power.

With Lancelot gone, Shirou Emiya ignored the out-of-control Gilles de Rais and quickly retreated with the three Servants.

The next moment, a new space covered this place.

A cold female voice came from inside, asking, "You bastard! Who is desecrating my treasure vault!"

Chapter 253 Mother Shanshan is in a bad situation

Let's go back to the moment Jolyne and Shirou Emiya met and entered the Reality Marble in the elevator.

The once peaceful Kotomine Church was greeted by an uninvited guest, but unlike Medea, she did not directly control everyone. Gilgamesh stood quietly in front of the church clock, and neither the nuns nor the ordinary people who came to pray unconsciously ignored her.

When Karen appeared, Gilgamesh also walked over and began to examine her memories.
