I really didn't want to burn it.

Amidst Qiantang Jun's furious roar, these water monsters charged towards Leon and the Chaldea Servants in droves.

Boom!

Red Hare was attacked by several huge clubs, and several huge craters were smashed into the ground in an instant.

"Aww! Ahhh!"

Accompanied by the howls of various monsters, these true shrimp soldiers and crab generals, wielding bizarre weapons, charged wildly towards the enemies who threatened their leader.

Those Servants with ranged attack capabilities are their primary targets.

"Is this considered cutting into the back row?"

Li Ang could only watch helplessly as the chaotic scene unfolded, for Qiantang Jun had already set his sights on him and launched a frenzied attack.

"The problem is that these guys are endless!"

Da Vinci frowned. She had just used her magic cannon to wipe out a bunch of small fry, but within seconds the battlefield she had cleared was filled with new enemies.

Chloris pinched her nose and said uncomfortably, "It smells awful...and these guys even have biological attacks."

The dead aquatic creatures emitted a foul, fishy stench, far more unbearable than the blood of normal enemies. Moreover, as the number of dead increased, the fishy smell grew stronger, a dreaded hazard for Chloris, who loved the fragrance of flowers.

These shrimp soldiers and crab generals, who come with their own unique flavor and can endlessly spawn troops, are the nightmare of every normal person.

"No, Li Ang... Li Ang! We need reinforcements from the regular army!"

Bai Mao felt extremely helpless. Originally, this kind of group battle should have been an advantage for someone like her who could split into multiple followers, but Qian Tang Jun's aquatic troops were simply too numerous, and she could no longer hold them off.

"I wish I could draw Iskandar, the Conqueror."

Ritsuka sighed softly; she'd never had good luck with gacha pulls.

While there are alternatives like Darius's, Darius's "Undying Ten Thousand Cavalry" is a typical example of a one-shot kill. Once the battle becomes a stalemate, Ritsuka will only be drained of her life force.

However, it seems impossible to completely eliminate the endless stream of shrimp soldiers and crab generals that Qiantang Jun is currently facing in one fell swoop.

"The troops in Lin'an have all been used to relocate the people and dredge the floodwaters." Leonardo da Vinci glanced at Li Ang thoughtfully.

"I see."

Li Ang resignedly shouted, tilting his head to dodge the black dragon's bite, and made contact with the Penglai, which had been waiting in the sky.

"Yu'er, lead the troops into battle! Find a way to unleash the fighting power of the heroic spirits."

Although Li Ang didn't really want the Qin army to participate in such a battle, he had a premonition that if the heroic spirits were dragged into the human wave of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, it would be a nightmare.

However, before the Penglai could even enter the battlefield, the ground beneath their feet began to bulge slightly and tremble violently.

boom!

The ground exploded with a deafening roar, sending debris flying everywhere. Da Vinci was struck directly by a huge, hard object that emerged from the ground, and she groaned as she was propelled upwards.

The brittle stones shot out like bullets, blasting away the surrounding spirits and aquatic soldiers.

"Hoohoo!"

A gigantic tortoise emerged from the ground, crushing one of its many clones with a single stomp. Then, it opened its mouth like a cannon, firing projectiles made of slime in all directions.

"What kind of monsters are those? Are they setting up an underwater world?"

Ritsuka, who was observing the battle from outside the battlefield, exclaimed in amazement. She really didn't expect that fighting a dragon could also bring so many aquatic creatures.

However, she had just finished her exclamation when she heard a whooshing sound above her head.

Looking up, they saw a giant monster shrouded in black mist raising its fist and crashing down on Ritsuka and her group below like a falling meteor.

"what!!"

Ritsuka and the Empress were rescued by the two clones of the Hundred Faces just a second before they were hit. Immediately afterward, the ground trembled violently from the impact of the fist, and rocks flew everywhere!

"Look who I've found!"

Just as Ritsuka and the Empress landed a little further away, a strange laugh suddenly came from behind them, the laugh mixed with barely suppressed excitement.

Kadoc stood there with a cold smile, his spirit Anastasia standing behind him.

Previously, Kadoc received Sigurd's order to have his Servant close the barrier and release Qiantang-kun. Unexpectedly, he had just returned to the battlefield when he discovered Chaldea's Master, as well as the guy they hated most in Group A.

"Kardok, are you going to make a move?"

Ritsuka said with a conflicted expression.

"What do you think? How could I possibly let my enemy go!"

Kadoc growled through gritted teeth.

He never expected to run into the Empress here, but now that he had, he was determined to capture her and take her back.

Kirshtalia did not tell the others the Queen's true identity; Kadoc simply thought she was a witch who knew some magic and controlled his group (from Kadoc's perspective).

As the saying goes, enemies meeting are bound to be furious, and Kadoc immediately assumed a fighting stance. In his eyes, his side had Servants, while the other side only had two weak Servant clones, making their combat strength clearly unequal.

"Go, Cast!"

At this moment, Kadoc transforms into a Pokémon Trainer and launches an attack on the Queen and Ritsuka.

"Kardok, shouldn't we work together to fight that dragon in this situation?"

Ritsuka tries to persuade this Chaldea "senior" with words.

Kadoc confidently shrugged: "No need, Sigurd will handle that dragon anyway. Look over there!"

Ritsuka looked in the direction Kadoc pointed and discovered that Sigurd had somehow flown into the air and was once again pointing the magic sword Gram at the black dragon circling in the sky.

"This time, I will definitely kill you!"

Sigurd was now completely covered in red, materialized magic, and he clenched his fist at the end of the magic sword.

"The demonic sword seems to unleash itself. My flames will usurp the sun! Bolvk Gram! (The Wheel of Calamity!)"

Sigurd pushed the magic sword with his fist and crashed it into the black dragon's body. A red beam of light illuminated the entire battlefield as Grammar attempted to cut the dragon in two with overwhelming force.

"This magic...did its Master use a Command Spell?"

Feeling the immense magical power emanating from Sigurd's body, Leonardo da Vinci couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

However, just when everyone thought that Sigurd could split the black dragon in two.

"You little rascal, are you out of your mind?!"

Qiantangjun's giant claw pressed down directly, grabbing Sigurd in one swift motion. The red beam of light seemed to be an invisible lamp.

"what!!"

Sigurd let out a miserable cry, feeling as if every bone in his body had shattered.

Then he saw a huge dragon head approaching him—

Click.

A clear sound of bones shattering echoed through the wind and rain. Everyone on the battlefield stared in disbelief as Sigurd's figure disappeared into Qiantang Jun's claws.

The great hero of Norse mythology, the dragon-slaying magic swordsman, the valiant man with an inextinguishable flame, Sab Sigurd, has left the stage!

"..."

"...What just happened?" Ritsuka stared at Qiantang-jun, who was licking his teeth with his sharp tongue, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets. "I remember Sigurd's Noble Phantasm should have a special attack against [dragons], right?"

The Queen sighed: "So, you barbarians have no idea what kind of creature this ferocious beast really is."

Kadoc touched his nose somewhat awkwardly: "Ahem, how about we discuss a collaboration?"

Chapter 330 Li Ang: Why are other people's dragons so powerful!

In the center of the battlefield, Xiang Yu and Skadi finally gathered the Qin army beside Li Ang, while Ryougi Shiki and Chloris were finally able to reunite with their men.

The Qin expeditionary force finally gathered on the battlefield, and this time Li Ang was no longer fighting alone.

However, the situation on the battlefield did not change because of the arrival of these new forces.

The scene of Qiantang Jun casually making Siegfried leave the stage was still fresh in everyone's mind, and the power of this black dragon left everyone speechless.

"It's amazing you managed to hold out against this monster for so long, Dad."

Xiang Yu didn't know how strong Sigurd was, but he knew how strong Cú Chulainn was.

Even Cú Chulainn was instantly killed by this black dragon, so Xiang Yu felt that he probably wouldn't last much longer either.

There's nothing we can do; this dragon is just too monstrous. Normal attacks simply can't do any damage to it.

Although Xiang Yu was confident that his martial arts skills were no match for any of his followers, he couldn't help it because his martial arts were ineffective against this dragon!

"Don't call me dad!" Li Ang chopped Xiang Yu on the head. "Stop talking nonsense. You guys work with the army to take care of that aquatic unit. I'll deal with that plague-ridden dragon!"

"Hahahaha!"

The black dragon's body began to tumble and sway in the sky again, its dark scales shimmering with a deep purple light under the moonlight, displaying an eerie appearance.

"I've got a great idea! How about I burn you alive in the water?"

At this moment, the lightning around the black dragon had turned into black and red fireballs.

"What the hell is this?! Isn't it a water dragon? Where did this fireball come from?"

[Host, don't forget, the so-called "dragon" is based on lightning. It's perfectly normal for lightning to strike a tree and set it on fire during a thunderstorm.]

"Because of this, can the [dragon] not only summon wind and rain, but also breathe smoke and fire?"

Li Ang increasingly felt that [the dragon] was just too abnormal!

How can there be such a shameless animal in this world?!

"Sure enough, there's a reason why there are no dragons in the real world," Li Ang muttered to himself in an almost defiant tone.

Bah!

Red Hare neighed and rolled several times on the ground before crashing heavily into the trees behind it, snapping several large trees in half and leaving a large crack on the ground.

"Neigh~"

Red Hare didn't bother to look at the deep, bone-revealing claw marks on its back; instead, it used all four limbs to push off the ground and leaped forward with all its might.

Almost at the same time, a cannon shot, approaching from afar, struck the spot where Red Hare had been standing!

Even though the water on the ground was already knee-deep, the flames were still burning fiercely on the surface of the water.

This eerie flame seems to repel everything in the human world, even water can become its fuel.

Soon, a small patch of woods was engulfed in flames, and the raging fire evaporated into bursts of water vapor amidst the torrential rain.

"Is this what they call heavenly fire? It can even burn water."

Li Ang felt envious, wondering why his own cat didn't have such cool skills.

"Ow!!"

The black dragon claws slammed heavily onto the clouds. At this moment, Qiantang Jun, compared to its initial ferocity, exuded an even more eerie and dangerous aura. Especially when elements such as water, wind, fire, and thunder converged on it, its seemingly magnificent appearance also highlighted its extreme danger.

"Dad, hurry up and use your invincible runes to think of a solution!"

Xiang Yu shouted to Li Ang while dodging the flames.

"Don't call me 'Dad'!"

As Li Ang shouted, he swung out a rope burning with golden flames.

"Damn it, I don't know if it'll work, but let's give it a try!"

The rope shot out in mid-air like a living thing, wrapping around the black dragon several times, making it look from a distance as if the black dragon was engulfed in golden flames.

The rope was stretched taut, and Li Ang gripped the other end tightly. As he grew larger, he pulled backward with all his might, trying to drag the dragon flying in the sky down to the ground.

"I wonder if Zhao Gongming's Dragon-Binding Rope will work..."

Although in "Investiture of the Gods", the Dragon-Binding Rope is very powerful, with the ability to bind immortals, Zhao Gongming once used this rope to bind Huanglong Zhenren, one of the twelve immortals of the Chan Sect.

Judging from the setting alone, the Dragon Binding Rope is practically the ultimate lock against dragons.

The problem is that "Investiture of the Gods" is far inferior to other legends, especially since it barely features any magical artifacts and has hardly been sung about.

In a world like Type-Moon, which relies on popularity, even if the setting of such a niche or obscure element is brilliantly written, the actual effect may still be disappointing.

Although the Type-Moon universe did experience the "Investiture of the Gods," whether or not the Dragon-Binding Rope actually existed is a question.
