I'm tied to Athena.

The secret is in this land

Chapter 375: Rain of Arrows

From the beginning, Gilgamesh was very suspicious of the place where Shajo Aige was found. If he wanted to investigate, he would choose to start from here.

Less than a minute after they entered here, they were attacked by the enemy. If anyone said that this was a coincidence, Gilgamesh would never believe it.

"So the one attacking us is the Berserker?" Charlemagne quickly drew out his holy sword and stood on guard. "The attack direction is this way..."

"A true hunter will never stay in one place after launching an attack." The red and violent eyes took in the surrounding scene and reminded: "The opponent has started to move."

“This is the goal, but also the trap.”

"Because we guessed that we would come here to investigate, we made preparations in advance."

Whether it was Bazdilot or Shatiao Aige who was plotting, it didn't matter now. What mattered was that they had fallen into each other's trap.

If they guessed correctly, the magic barrier had already surrounded the area, and they were now like a turtle caught in a jar.

"Senior, what should we do? We need to break the barrier and leave..." The sound of breaking through the air was heard. Charlemagne had no choice but to stop talking before he finished speaking and dodge the arrows that attacked from behind.

"It is impossible for an ordinary magician to set up such a barrier. Even a servant may not have such ability. Although you and I can break it with our strength, but... why do you want to do this?" As he spoke, Gilgamesh grasped the greatsword and cut the incoming arrow in half.

"Huh?" Charlemagne tilted his head.

"We originally came here to investigate the anomaly. Now that the other party has voluntarily sacrificed himself and exposed the location, why should we run away?"

"When you see the enemy, you subconsciously want to run? That's not right! They are the ones who should run!"

The ground beneath his feet shattered, and magic power turned into a sweeping gale. Golden ripples appeared and spread, like a cannon, emitting golden lightning.

The all-round 360-degree attack caused huge smoke and dust waves in the surrounding area and knocked down countless trees.

"As expected of a senior, you are amazing."

Even though it was not the first time Charlemagne had seen the King's treasure, he still couldn't help but marvel at it.

In his opinion, this method of launching a fierce attack while standing still was extremely cool.

If he also had a treasure like Gilgamesh, he guaranteed that he would be several times more handsome than he is now.

Yes, that's right. Charlemagne is a person who cares a lot about whether he is handsome or not. All his actions are linked to the word "handsome". If he is not handsome, he will not do it no matter what, even if it will cause trouble to his master and partners.

In short, this is a man who sees being a general as a lifelong commitment to the end.

Hearing the praise from the younger generation, Senior Golden proudly raised his head and chest, "Of course, that's the king!"

But as Gilgamesh wove his words, there were 'whooshing' sounds that broke through the air.

'Death' strikes!

The sky was dyed dark, but it was not the black clouds and rain... it was the raging waves of arrows that seemed to fill the sky.

It's an arrow!

Facing the huge arrows that were like a raging torrent, Charlemagne clenched the holy sword with both hands, "Senior, leave it to me!"

Facing such an attack, it is impossible to resist. Even if the sword in your hand is swung faster, it is impossible to block it completely.

so.....

"O eternal and unchanging holy light, ever-changing brilliance. O invincible knights, show my kingly power! Reveal the king..." The light appeared, and the sacred light particles gathered towards the holy sword. The dazzling brilliance was about to illuminate the sky...

"Watch carefully, my king. There is no need to use a treasure for such an attack!"

The Golden King stood in front of Charlemagne. He raised one hand and the magic power turned into a vortex and condensed in front of him.

A purple shield that looked like petals appeared - covering the seven rings of Seraph, a conceptual treasure. Each petal represented a layer of defense, with a total of seven layers, and each layer of petals was enough to rival an ancient city wall.

This is a treasure that is powerful enough to block seven attacks that can break through the city. If you have the ability, break through this layer of defense!

The torrent of death, the heavy rain of steel, penetrated everything in the beam, and the approaching arrows fell on the petal shield.

A clanging sound came from the intersection of the shield and the steel rain, and the first petal, as thick as an ancient city wall, was shattered directly!

The attacking arrow did not completely land on the petals. The surrounding land and rocks were shattered by the falling arrow. In just a moment, the entire earth was changed!

"Senior, what should we do now?" Although they blocked the attack of arrows, the situation was still not good. They were now surrounded by a rain of arrows. Once they left the protection range of the shield, they would be stung by the rain of arrows and become a hornet's nest.

"The attacks are powerful and numerous, but they won't last." Gilgamesh observed the movements of the arrows. Apart from the initial rain of arrows that broke through the first layer of the seven rings covering the Seraph, the next two layers took a certain amount of time, and the time consumed was increasing. This showed that the opponent's attack speed was decreasing.

"When the rain of arrows stops, the berserkers will appear, and that's when the real fighting will begin."

Just as Gilgamesh said, the rain of arrows stopped after ten minutes. Only the last layer of the seven layers of the Seven Rings of Blazing Heaven remained.... The opponent's rain of arrows, this round, was equivalent to the power to break through six ancient city walls.

It turned out to be premeditated.

"Stopped...?" Charlemagne carefully poked his head out from outside the shield, looked at the smoke and stones around him, and then glanced around.

Has the berserker moved, or is he about to show up?

"boom!"

A dull sound came from the earth, and the earth, which had finally calmed down, trembled again. Like a falling meteorite, a strong man appeared in the sight of the two.

"It's coming as expected." Charlemagne took a deep breath of the cold air in the air and tightly grasped the holy sword in his hand.

Although he has not seen the true face of the Servant, just by seeing the figure, he has the same feeling as when he faced Ozymandias... This Servant in front of him is very strong!

"There is no Master. It seems he is not here... Is he hiding?" Compared to the enemy in front of him, Gilgamesh checked the surroundings very carefully. After making sure that there was no trace of the Master, he focused his attention on the Berserker.

At the window of the villa on the second floor of Linglong Pavilion, the pure white girl who was quietly accompanying Li Yun whispered in her heart: Kill him, Berserker

Chapter 376: Showdown?

In a seldom visited forest outside of Tokyo, there was a sound that shook the earth.

Smoke and dust filled the sky, and golden lightning flashed by in an instant.

The sounds of explosions, shouts, and clanging were endless.

If this situation happened in downtown Tokyo, I'm afraid a large area of ​​Tokyo would be paralyzed.

But this is understandable, after all, it was the servants who made this situation happen!

The strongest illusions reappeared in the past, divided into seven steps by the Holy Grail.

They tear steel, shatter the earth, and even pierce the sky. Even though they have a human-like appearance, they are definitely not human.

Beneath their human-like appearance, they hide a toughness and destructive power that far exceeds that of any living creature and human.

There is no way for humans to resist this illusion, whether they are ordinary people or magicians.

Let me say it again, Servants are monsters, monsters born from myths and legends, with human appearance!

At this moment, in this forest, three monsters are fighting a life-and-death battle!

On the earth, the third Servant Archer, Gilgamesh, the most ancient king who reigns supreme in heaven and earth, shines with dazzling brilliance.

The opened treasure of the king continuously shoots out golden lightning to offset the arrows shot by the second servant, Berserker, Hercules.

Noble Phantasms and arrows, strength and magic, quantity and quality, this is a contest between kings and heroes.

"Although your attack is cool, I will be troubled if you forget my existence just like that!"

Shuttled through the chaotic battlefield, the first Servant Saber, Charlemagne, like a warrior from myth, launched a strike against the legendary demigod hero!

The posture changed from drawing the bow and arrow to blocking in an instant.

Although it was a wooden bow, it was like the strongest steel and blocked the fierce attack from the warrior.

Relying on sprinting and slashing, Charlemagne's strength is stronger than normal. Under the condition of the same A-level strength, Charlemagne's attack is enough to repel Hercules.

But nothing moved. The great hero Hercules stood still like a rock, as if he could not feel the magic released by Charlemagne!

Strong and heavy, these are the labels Charlemagne gave to Hercules in this simple collision.

The second Servant, who had no reason at all and only knew how to follow orders and fight, stretched out his other empty hand...

caught!

A powerful hand grabbed Charlemagne's wrist, which was about the same size as a normal person's. The second servant leaned forward, and the wooden bow rubbed against the long sword and hit Charlemagne's armpit!

"not good!"

This posture is very bad, because of the height advantage, Hercules can use it to block the movement of Charlemagne's right hand and throw him out before Charlemagne can react!

His body moved uncontrollably. When the strength was the same, fighting skills became an important factor in determining victory or defeat. Perhaps the countless hardships Charlemagne had experienced were enough to make him one of the best fighters, but... compared to a demigod, there was still a gap!

"boom!!!"

My body was thrown heavily to the ground, and the pain and vibration spread throughout my body....

He felt numb, and the injuries to his internal organs and other parts of his body made him unable to move for a short period of time!

Hercules would not miss this opportunity. He raised his foot and stomped on it hard like an ant!

Open your eyes wide, if this kick lands, Charlemagne will definitely lose his fighting ability and become a burden!

Fortunately, at this moment, more than a dozen golden lightning bolts broke through the smoke and dust. Hercules felt threatened and immediately gave up attacking Charlemagne. He turned around and used the wooden bow in his hand to shoot down the lightning bolts!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Charlemagne immediately turned over and stood up, quickly putting distance between himself and Hercules!

The fighting calmed down temporarily.

Charlemagne held the sword in one hand and the wound with the other, and his face, which had been laughing all the time, finally became completely serious.

"So strong..."

My chest and back are still aching. If Gilgamesh hadn't helped me, the consequences of that kick would have been disastrous!

"Charlemagne, from now on I will take the lead, and you will assist me in the attack!" Drawing out both swords, the king's treasure, which originally had sixty-four doors, was reduced to eight. The most ancient king was about to take the field himself!

"Sorry, senior!"

After a brief exchange, Gilgamesh moved the next second!

He rushed to Hercules like a cannonball and slashed with both swords in his hands!

While the three servants were fighting to the death in the forest, foreign music that was popular a few years ago was playing in a room on the second floor of Linglong Pavilion.

The girl in the room had moist eyes and flushed cheeks as she looked at the man wrapped like a mummy in white cloth on the bed with fascination.

Whether it was because she was alone in a room with her lover, or because her servant, the berserker, was suppressing the other two servants, no matter what the reason was - she was smiling.

“Hey, brave, do you know why it is called the Holy Grail?” The woman in the emerald dress has a graceful figure, an elegant posture holding the teacup, and a peaceful expression, as if she is a fairy who is far away from this mundane world and only exists in the fairy kingdom.

Suddenly, she asked the man in front of her a strange question.

"If magic is really so great that it can bring miracles and fulfill wishes, don't you think the rituals it requires should also be more peaceful?" He asked in a light-hearted tone, as if he didn't understand what was in the Holy Grail.

"It is nothing more than something created by a group of magicians for their own selfish desires. The Holy Grail was not defined as 'omnipotent' from the very beginning. The reason why it is called the Holy Grail is that for magicians, this thing can fulfill their long-cherished wishes."

The mummy-like man said, "I know the origin of the Holy Grail better than anyone else, and I understand the meaning given to the Holy Grail better than anyone else."

"The real Holy Grail is not filled with blood, nor does it store people's malice. This 'Holy Grail' that can only be awakened by fighting is not the Holy Grail."

"Yeah, that's true. If you don't fill it with wishes first, the Holy Grail won't activate or anything like that."

Ai Ge was laughing, "The Holy Grail is made of people's thoughts. Perhaps this is sad, but most people in the world say that what they desire is not kindness, but the malice called desire."

"The Holy Grail may have been tainted, and has changed from being the one who makes wishes to being the one who bestows punishment."

"Brave, I have a wish."

"Originally, I wanted to wait until the Holy Grail War was almost over before telling you, but I couldn't bear it..."

“I want to tell you now.

Chapter 377 I like to kill people in my dreams

The girl who was originally smiling gently suddenly changed into a dark whirlwind, just like the weather in the British Isles, and enveloped him.

"A trick? A magic trick?" He gently stretched out his finger and touched the black whirlwind. It bounced away. The moment his finger touched the whirlwind, it was bounced away.

The pain reflected along the fingertips to the nerves, and Li Yun screamed with surprise on his face.
