You are very strong, but my painting style is better than yours!

However, this ghost method is different. With Iori's current spiritual pressure, he can naturally break the chant, but he cannot exert his strongest power, which is too wasteful.

This is a high-level ghost technique that can directly determine victory or defeat!

"hold head high!!!"

It is difficult for ordinary people to imagine how he could fight with such a broken body. Even a servant would find it difficult to do so. However, Asterios became more and more courageous as the battle went on. Although he did not have the [Battle Continuation], he relied on the mystery and magic inherited in his blood to support this fierce battle.

But he couldn't touch Iori!

Compared to his brute strength that can split mountains and rocks, his agility is only average. He is not as nimble as Hercules, so he is often injured by Iori's various small tricks.

When his perfect body finally felt tired and the injuries that were forcibly suppressed began to flare up, Iori suddenly moved -

No one knew how he took his steps, but with just one step he came to a place almost within striking distance of Asterios.

He raised his hand and gently placed it on the burning and rough skin with an almost gentle force.

"The Ninety of the Broken Dao: Black Coffin!"

The dark magic power emerged from under Asterios' feet, like a multiplying tombstone, spreading madly upwards, and in the blink of an eye it completely swallowed up the Bull Demon who was nearly three meters tall!

hum!

Just as the name describes, the pitch-black rectangular coffin exudes a strange cold breath, and then waves of magic power pass through the interior space swiftly and sharply -

boom! ! !

The black coffin shattered automatically, and countless black fragments turned into basic particles and dissipated. Asterios, who was standing in it, had his muscles tensed and his hands tightly grasped the two abyss axes. For some reason, he was motionless like a statue.

Finally, after two breaths, as if by appointment, thin blood-colored lines appeared on the Bull Demon's body and quickly expanded and spread. A large amount of blood sprayed out, instantly dyeing the whole body and the surrounding area red...

The metal mask also shattered and fell off, revealing a face covered in blood... But a closer look revealed the unexpectedly delicate face of the boy, which was completely inconsistent with his extremely burly body.

But even though he was seriously injured, he did not fall down, and his pair of scarlet eyes stared directly at Iori!

“Ah…Ahhh!”

Each muscle was wriggling madly as if it had its own life, and the blood spurting stopped almost instantly. The Bull Demon moved his scarred body. Iori only saw a flash of red coming from the corner of his eye, and he left the spot without even thinking.

--call!

In the next moment, the Abyss Axe swept across this place, and then a terrifying sharp sonic boom sounded.

In the situation just now, without any preheating or acceleration, just a simple swing with all his strength was able to make a weapon like the double-edged axe exceed the speed of sound!

This can't be explained by simple wrist strength, right?

"Actually..." Iori dodged to ten meters away, still able to feel the biting cold wind, a hint of realization flashed in his eyes.

The Bull Demon possesses super durability and can stand firm even after taking a hit from the "Black Coffin".

Of course, this does not mean that he is okay. On the contrary, it should be said that he was seriously injured, so he attacked desperately like a last-ditch effort, hoping to take his enemy away with him.

But if this attack also misses, Niu Mo will be in great danger.

"In this Holy Grail War, the first Servant to withdraw was the Berserker."

Iori narrowed his eyes and slowly raised the sword towards Asterios. He was confident that he could end the battle within ten breaths.

Suddenly, his face turned cold and his figure disappeared from where he was:

bass!bass!bass!

Huge and sharp wooden thorns suddenly emerged from under Iori's feet and nearby. If Iori hadn't used the instant step, his thigh would have been nailed here like an insect specimen!

"The king of Romania would also launch a sneak attack?" Iori raised his head and sneered in the direction of the castle, "If you wanted to fight me, you could have come out at the beginning. Why did you send the berserker to test me? You just want to know more about my fighting style... It's too much to regard your companions as stepping stones~"

"There is no justice in war!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Iori heard a bone-chilling cold snort and the sound of horse hooves came from the deep doorway. A general wearing a luxurious black robe and holding a silver-white spear, riding on a specially trained dragon-tooth warhorse, came to the front of the battle calmly.

The androids consciously made way and half-saluted to show respect.

Berserker's defeat was expected, but the Black camp had not expected to be forced into a desperate situation so quickly. If left alone, Asterios would most likely be killed by the enemy Servant, forcing the Thousand Worlds Tree to change its strategy.

Originally, Vlad III should not have taken action easily unless he really had no manpower to spare. But since he was near the castle, he could strangle the enemy while also fulfilling his mission of protecting the Holy Grail.

After Vlad III appeared, the bull demon who was glaring at Iori reluctantly transformed into a spirit and retreated under the order of his master - with the Greater Holy Grail as a guarantee, as long as the servant did not die immediately, his injuries could be recovered quickly and would not affect subsequent battles.

"Arrogant fellow, your provocation was clumsy and crude, but I have to admit that it was very effective and successfully made me want to kill you!

Do you want to die with honor? If so, let me satisfy you! "

——Lancer Vlad III, join the battle!

Seeing the figure of the person coming, Iori's face was solemn, but he was somewhat disappointed deep down.

Would he rather send Vlad III as the commander than let Shuten-doji show up?

It should be noted that Iori has not revealed his real name, he is just guessed to be "Takeru". Although he restrains Shuten, he is not actually a natural enemy. If Shuten is stronger, it is entirely possible that he will devour "Takeru" and the sword of Ame Murakumo.

Normally, it was right in front of his own house, so he should have tried it anyway. How could the Black Master be so cautious...

No, could it be that Shuten-douji is not in the castle at all, but on the battlefield at the manor?

But with her broken spiritual foundation, why did she actively participate in such a melee...

Iori's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of a possibility:

The Rhine Gold!

However, before he could think about it, as Vlad III rode his horse and waved his spear, a vast amount of thin wooden stakes rushed towards him!

call!

Instant transfer!

call!

Instant transfer!

call!

——Every time he appeared, a wave of wooden stakes that was like a rain of arrows but countless times more terrifying would immediately sweep over him, leaving Iori no chance to breathe.

"What are you thinking about?" Vlad III thrust his spear, and a crisp collision sound occurred with Iori's Kusanagi sword.

"Focus on fighting. You only have one mission now, and that is to allow Yu Neng to fight to his heart's content!"

Volume 127: Death Comes to the Holy Grail War: Chapter 5: I'll take your heart, Saber! (K)

"Stop! I can't give you this relic!"

In the manor, Joan of Arc has transformed into a fighting posture, with silver-white armor covering her student uniform. She holds the battle flag in one hand and protects the suitcase behind her with the other. In front of her are three servants from the red and black sides.

Karna, Atalanta and Siegfried.

The Son of the Sun was the first to arrive here. He was ordered by Amakusa to seize the Rhine Gold and use it as the core component to build the Sky Garden.

As long as they can get this holy relic, with the help of the concept of wealth it symbolizes, they can upgrade the garden level to the highest level even if the resources are not enough, breaking the current stalemate in one fell swoop. Therefore, the red side is determined to get it and sent out the great hero Karna, who has impeccable mobility and combat effectiveness.

The Red Lancer did live up to everyone's expectations. Although he was attacked by long-range snipers from the Black camp on the way, he simply ignored the harassment in his golden armor and went straight to the dragon's nest to block Jeanne who wanted to leave.

But when he asked for the Rhine Gold, he was decisively rejected!

Joan of Arc is a neutral ruler who will not provide assistance to either the red or black side, but handing over the relic through her hands would be tantamount to breaking this principle.

And if I just leave the Rhinegold here and pretend that I didn't see it... that would be deceiving myself and others, and would be no different from handing it directly to Karna.

It can only be said that when she came into contact with the Rhine Gold, she was already put in invisible shackles and shouldered additional responsibilities:

She must guard this holy relic carefully and not let it go at all.

Therefore, she proposed to take the Rhinegold away, put it somewhere safely, and let the two camps compete fairly - of course Karna would not agree.

Needless to say, Karna used force, while Jeanne remained firm, and the two engaged in a fierce attack and defense in this desolate manor.

Well, it might not be appropriate to say that it was fierce. It was indeed a high-level battle, but Jeanne had to protect the Rheingold, so she was restrained. Correspondingly, Karna might not want to destroy the holy relics, or think that it would be unfair to win, so he simply used spearmanship without adding the scorching sun flame to his weapon.

It has to be said that Karna is worthy of the title of a great hero. Even without using "magic release", he was able to suppress Jeanne d'Arc with his skills, making it quite difficult for the holy girl who was good at defense to deal with her. She managed to hold on with her extraordinary physical strength and perseverance.

If nothing unexpected happens, Karna will win sooner or later, but things in the world are so strange. At the critical moment, Siegfried and Atalanta entered the manor while chasing and fighting.

The dragon slayer immediately understood the current situation, stood in front of Jeanne with his sword drawn, and took Karna from her.

——If Joan of Arc is defeated and hands over the Rhine Gold, it will be difficult for Siegfried to take it away from the combination of Karna and Atalanta. It is better to cover Joan of Arc's departure from here and deal with it later.

When the Son of the Sun saw that his opponent had changed to Siegfried, he immediately perked up his spirits, and a fierce flame gushed out, instantly destroying the courtyard full of weeds and turning the place into a red and black scorched earth!

Joan of Arc looked at Siegfried with gratitude, turned around and left the battle group. The next battle between the red and black was going to be a battle. She only had the obligation to witness it, but she had no right to intervene. Siegfried's doing this was equivalent to freeing her from an embarrassing situation.

But Atalanta did not let her go just like that. The female hunter, who had once come into contact with the Rhinegold, was able to determine with her wild perception that the holy relic was in Joan of Arc's suitcase.

After the contact just now, she already understood that Siegfried was not an opponent who could be easily defeated. His swordsmanship and Noble Phantasm were perfectly coordinated, without any weaknesses. He could at least maintain a balance when fighting with any top servant. Even if multiple servants gathered and surpassed him in combat power, it would be impossible to make him surrender.

If Atalanta and Karna join forces, they can indeed defeat Siegfried, but the dragon-slaying hero with a strong physique will probably hold them back like a swamp.

The option of killing Siegfried quickly can be ruled out!

(Theoretically, Fei Ge has a weakness on his back, but with his martial arts, he will not let the enemy attack his back.)

Then, Atalanta will have to take the lead and leave the ruler here!

It sounds like a long process, but it only took the female hunter a moment to judge the situation and decisively listed Jeanne as the next hunting target.

Almost as soon as the saint took a step, she had already pulled the bowstring and shot a powerful arrow!

Whoosh whoosh!

Joan of Arc dodged and blocked, trying to escape Atalanta's hunting range, but her speed was not as fast as the huntress who could arrive later and was soon caught up.

"[Phoibos Catastrophe]!"

The two ordinary arrows did not shoot towards Joan of Arc. Instead, they shot up into the sky and disappeared into the night, followed by countless stars shining... No!

Those were not stars, but arrows of light falling like heavy rain!

The rain of arrows was about to cover the entire manor, but as if pulled by some force, it was confined to an area of ​​ten meters in radius and concentrated on Joan of Arc!

Atalanta narrowed her eyes and stared seriously at the center of the rain of light. Her treasure was of the wide-area annihilation type. The power of a single arrow was not that great, but she could adjust the range autonomously. The more concentrated the destructive power, the stronger it would be.

In addition, with the blessing of Apollo and Artemis, this treasure also has a certain ability to search for enemies.

Even if the panel data is as excellent as Jeanne d'Arc, she will definitely not be safe after taking on this Noble Phantasm!

Sure enough, a dishevelled figure flew out from the smoke and dust, while Atalanta continued to shoot arrows to block its movement.

call!

The man suddenly turned back, not only dodged the fatal arrow, but also rushed towards Atalanta!

"Oh~" The corners of the hunter's mouth curved up. Although she was an archer, she also had a record of defeating male heroes in hand-to-hand combat. If Joan of Arc thought that she was afraid of close combat, she was very wrong!

He continued to shoot three arrows, letting Jeanne dodge as she planned. Atalanta, who was extremely agile, was like a beautiful female leopard. She quickly made an arc and approached the ruler from the side. The arrow was held in her hand and sent out like a dagger.

puff!

The arrow successfully pierced Jeanne's ribs through the gap in the armor.

However, before Atalanta could expand on her success, the feeling from the arrow startled her:

Is this flesh? It's as solid as a rock!

"Drink!"

Joan of Arc did not feel any pain, nor did she hesitate. It seemed that she had been planning to trade injuries for injuries from the beginning. She used the flagpole wrapped with the holy flag to hit Atalanta hard between her shoulders and neck.

Ka!

There was a sound of bones cracking, and Archer, with a look of shock on his face, was directly thrown out.

"cough!"

Getting on all fours to stop her inertia, Atalanta coughed up a mouthful of blood, and when she looked up at Joan of Arc again, her eyes had become strange.

She has always been a person who refuses to admit defeat since she was a child. Even though women were discriminated against on the battlefield, she still relied on her superb hunting skills to gain the reputation of a hero and was unwilling to lose to men in every way.

Atalanta was called a tomboy by many people, including her relatives, who believed that she should have been born on the Amazon Island instead of in the mountains of Arcadia.

She is not ashamed of this, and is even proud of it.

But to be honest, after meeting Jeanne today, she suddenly felt insecure about her well-trained body...

Joan of Arc shouldn’t have any divinity or anything like that, and she was born into a peasant family. So is this physical quality... the blessing of faith?

But I also have faith - Atalanta's mouth twitched, not quite understanding Joan of Arc's strength.

The female hunter quickly adjusted her mindset. She had seen many strong prey. The monster of Calydon even left many Greek heroes helpless, but in the end it was successfully killed by hunters including Atalanta.
