Why fight the Holy Grail War? Let's play cards!

202

Chapter 202: You have three servants on the field, right?

"When an opponent's Servant declares an attack, the effect of [Morning Glory] is to put it from the hand into the Graveyard and switch it to Defense Position."

The little morning glory jumped out of the hand card. Since it is an induced effect, it does not require a target, so Gawain will not be selected as the effect target until the end of the round and the effect will not take effect.

[Gawain] Attack 7500 → Defense 6000.

Since he changed to defense position, Gawain naturally could not continue to attack, and the cards on the field could no longer act. Jiang You easily passed this round.

"Is this the way to evade the attack?"

Using the little girl as a human shield to evade attacks, Gawain thought he was incapable of such a thing. "It's quite consistent with Assassin's unscrupulous approach. He can't fight head-on, so he resorts to such despicable tactics!"

"You so-called knights are only capable of sweet talk."

Fanatic couldn't bear to hear such words. You know, she had just seen all of Hassan's beliefs not long ago. They were even more terrifying than she had imagined. They were synonymous with death. Now she felt that she had no regrets in dying.

"Besides, even in a head-on battle, you wouldn't be a match for the First-Daimyo!"

"Assassin in a head-on fight?"

Gawain would not show any modesty in front of his mortal enemy. In his impression, except for Caster who was not in his own position, Assassin was the weakest in all direct head-on battles. If he did not use despicable sneak attacks, he could basically defeat anyone.

"I'm sorry, I can't imagine."

"It's okay, don't imagine, you'll know soon."

Having said that, Jiang You was actually referring to the light curtain. Although he launched a dark game against Gawain, he only wanted his blessing magic card and did not intend to take his life. Gawain could still see Wang Ha's devastating blow.

As for why he didn't summon Wang Ha, it was because Jiang You currently had a [Delusion] card in his hand, which didn't have the necessary conditions to summon Wang Ha. If he used [Bitter Choice], Hassan would be enough, but there was no guarantee that he could obtain the [Death Knell] ritual.

So now there is only one way to win directly. Saint Gawain’s number is 3, which can be said to be destiny.

"My turn—"

Jiang You used the Destined Draw again, which was his inherent skill as a servant and could not be considered a trick.

"Draw a card!"

"Gawain, your holy number is three, right?"

Jiang You suddenly asked a common sense question.

Watching Jiang You holding the card, Gawain sensed a profoundly sinister aura. Suddenly, he felt weightless, as if he had fallen into an endless abyss, a constant feeling of falling. Yet, within that abyss, there lurked a hint of holiness that Gawain struggled to comprehend.

"Unfortunately, this number has now betrayed you. You must liberate three of your servants on the field before you can Special Summon that demonic Bodhisattva—[Sesshōin Kiara]!"

In an instant, all of Gawain's servants were cleared out due to liberation, and the blessings and weapons were sent to the graveyard because they lost their targets.

The lotus platform blooms, and Kiara Seshoin stretches out her graceful figure, with temptation and compassionate holiness coexisting in contradiction.

[Kira Sesshōin] has an attack power of 0.

"Ah, it's you again. Did you summon me this time?"

Seshouin Qihuang's eyes were as charming as silk. She looked at Jiang You with a rounded arc at the corner of her mouth, "It seems that you followed your desire at that time and got me."

"This is the first time I've used the word filthy to describe light."

As a Knight of the Sun, Gawain's love for light was self-evident, but the "holy light" emanating from Sesshoin gave him a sense of decadence, a sticky warmth rather than warmth, which made him feel uncomfortable. This was a blasphemy against light. "Your trump card is appallingly evil!"

Without paying any attention to Gao Wen, Jiang You looked at Shashouin Kiara. Although this guy's mouth and eyes were full of smiles, Jiang You easily found that there was no emotion in them. This guy just regarded himself as some kind of prop.

Jiang You knew that following her words wouldn't win him favor. It was useless to talk to such a guy. "If possible, I'd like to have a chat with you, but not now. The effect of [Kiara Sesshōin], when Special Summoned, Special Summon a card from the Graveyard to the opponent's field. I've chosen [Hassan the Shining Star]!"

【Shining Star】Attack power 1600.

"Then I'll look forward to it."

Kiara Sesshōin responded. She is very tolerant and will give you positive responses most of the time.

"Shall I take care of her?"

Yaoxing glanced at Jiang You, surprised that he would be summoned by someone else. He didn't question the situation, however, as Jiang You had appeared in the original ritual before. Yaoxing assumed that since Jiang You's head was still on his neck, he must have passed the ritual and received Wang Ha's approval. He then simply needed to provide his full assistance.

"With my ability, it's still a little short. I need more manpower."

"It's enough, the effect of [Sesshōin Kiara]!"

Jiang You glanced at Gao Wen's graveyard. There were no grave effects, and he had no cards in hand. He had no room for resistance. So he just had to pick out some effects to talk about.

"While this card is face-up, it cannot be changed to Defense Position. Furthermore, while this card is on the field, the battle damage taken by the controlled main combatant is doubled!"

"Enter the combat stage!"

We are in a hurry now and there is no need to show the backfield.

"[Shining Star] attacks [Sesshōin Kiara]!"

"[Shining Star]'s effect: When declaring battle, pay 2000 health points and increase attack power by 2000 points!"

Although the battle can be resolved by only increasing 500, Gao Wen has already made the attack, so how can Jiang You fall behind? What a big number, a big number!

River tour LP 4000 → LP 2000.

[Shining Star] Attack damage increased from 1600 to 3600.

"Shining Star Hassan, win the victory for me!"

Shining Star Hassan burned his own magic circuit and transformed into a meteor that flew towards Sesshōin Kiara, and the wind and waves it created blew the knights watching the battle around toppling over.

"I'm looking forward to meeting you again, please don't make me wait too long."

Kiara Sesshōin opened her arms and actively welcomed the attack from Hassan the Star, with a compassionate expression as if she was saving all living beings.

A combat damage of up to 7200 directly hit Gawain. This was the strongest post-battle settlement in history. Gawain seemed to disappear on the spot, and the next second he crashed into the light curtain behind him, causing ripples.

Gao Wen LP 3000 → LP 0!

Chapter 203: Is that thing Assassin?

"Lord Gawain actually lost?"

The Holy City soldiers stared in amazement at the limp Sun Knight. Gawain, even in his sleepless state, had been defeated. Even with triple his power, Gawain was no match. Their advances only increased his EXP. Aside from Gawain's own knights, the other soldiers retreated, their will to fight gone. They'd flee if Jiang You approached.

"You idiots!"

The movement outside the light curtain had already alarmed Aggravin. As the only Knight of the Round Table who still had the ability to fight, he had always been assisting the Lion King as a secretary. As the only Knight of the Round Table without blessings, he had no chance to participate in most battles.

"Look at his frivolous steps. He has no martial arts skills at all!"

Therefore, a heroic spirit can see Jiang You's condition, and it is not unreasonable for Aguguiwen to be a secretary.

"He is indeed a powerful Servant, but he was able to defeat Gawain only because of his Noble Phantasm! Have you knights forgotten the oath you swore to the King? His rules do not allow him to defeat his opponent quickly or use numbers to hold him down! He can only guarantee his own safety by using his Noble Phantasm."

Agguiwen saw Jiang You's weakness immediately. It would take Jiang You at least two rounds to deal with the security guard. While he could crush the nameless knights with his physical skills, two fists are no match for four hands. With Jiang You's strength, he'd be punctured in seconds. By the time Jiang You finished dueling the enemies here, the Lion King would have already achieved his KPI.

The knights' psychological quality was much higher than that of the soldiers. After a brief commotion, they quickly reorganized their formation and surrounded Jiang You.

Unfortunately, Aguiwen was wrong. In addition to dueling, Jiang You also had the ability to summon duel elves. His airdrop alone was basically equivalent to the arrival of the entire team, and he was not needed to clean out the miscellaneous soldiers.

Minamoto no Raikou and Medea instantly appeared on Jiang You's left and right. Thunder and magic bullets bombarded the defenseless knights, and several knights lost their combat power in an instant.

"Is this the inside of Camelot?"

Medea was keenly aware that something was amiss. Even without Jiang You's explanation, she was able to roughly grasp the problem. "It's more like a battlefield than a city. It's really disturbing."

"Has Gawain already been defeated? What a shame! I had hoped I could have a duel with the knights of the Age of Gods."

Even though Minamoto no Raikou is usually a crazy mother, she is the most famous warrior in Heian-kyo after all, and she is eager to fight with the strong.

Without the restraint of the Knights of the Round Table, the two first-rate Heroic Spirits (Minamoto no Raikou counted as the top second-rate or the end of the first-rate) were like walking in an empty space. It didn't take long before there were no enemy units around Jiang You that could pose a threat to him.

Without any obstacles, Jiang You walked straight towards the light curtain and patted it. This thing gave him the feeling of an air wall, as if it divided the space. There was no sense of touch, but his hand had no way to move forward even a micron.

"Medea, can you break this thing?"

Jiang You looked at the magician who was from the Age of Gods like the Round Table Servants.

"If I'm not mistaken, this city is built with some kind of Noble Phantasm. Judging from the magic output, it's probably a Holy Lance or Holy Sword. Judging from its form, it should be a Holy Lance."

Medea said that this thing was beyond her scope. Although she was quite confident in her magical skills, it depended on what she was compared with. She was not considered an excellent magician in the Age of Gods, let alone something like the Holy Lance.

"This light curtain is as strong as the Holy Lance's outer shell. You need to possess the power to break through the Holy Lance to open it. Of course, it can be broken through by analysis, but I can't do it. Even if someone could do it, there's no guarantee of time."

Medea did not leave any magic-related highlights in her own legend. Most of the comments were negative in terms of emotions and ethics (?), and Jiang You did not intend to make things difficult for her.

"Just give up."

Gawain, limp on the ground, managed a laugh. "I admit you are indeed powerful, but my king's current strength is not something a heroic spirit can stand against. She is about to complete the redemption of humanity. Please understand, my king. This is also a helpless move."

"How come you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, are also playing riddles?"

Gao Wen was indeed conveying information, but who could understand it if they didn't know the specific situation in advance?

"I just can't understand it. If we're doomed, why not fight to the death? There's nothing to lose anyway. If there's no way to have a Happy End, I won't accept it. At worst, I can try again!"

Gawain wanted to say something, but Jiang You didn't bother to listen. Time was indeed running out. According to the original plot, the light curtain that would turn the world into the end would not be deployed until the allied forces entered the city. However, because the Lion King had learned the intelligence from Jiang You and Wang Ha in advance, the light curtain had already been deployed several hours ago. The actual time was now longer than the original.

"Mr. Shan Zhiweng, please watch."

Jiang You knew that Wang Ha must be nearby. This old man was actually very enthusiastic. He would even dress up as an ordinary old man to provide guidance to Gudako. He was completely different from what he looked like.

"Please respond to my previous request. Only you can break through this light curtain."

Jiang You calculated the time. The current plot has not progressed to the point where Gudako goes to find the Pharaoh who has the same voice actor as DIO. It is impossible to expect Raito to use his full strength to collide with the Pharaoh's grave. Only Wang Ha has this ability.

Without warning, the once clear sky became overcast, and a fierce wind swept across Camelot, blinding everyone. If anyone looked up, they would have seen that the dark cloud was the unmistakable shape of a skull.

"The contract is done, so we should help!"

Wang Ha appeared in front of Jiang You and lightly touched the light curtain. The burning flames made a hissing corrosive sound at the point of contact. The concept of death actually had an effect on the light curtain.

"Since destiny has arrived, then wield the sword!"

The sound of a bell echoed from nowhere, and soon the dark clouds and strong wind disappeared along with the sound of the bell. Everyone opened their eyes and looked around. The dark clouds and strong wind had not left a trace. It was as if everything was an illusion.

But the huge sword mark several meters wide and the burning ghostly fire on the light curtain indicated that someone had just been there.

"How can this be."

Gawain, standing nearby, saw everything clearly. The black-armored skeleton swordsman shattered the King's light curtain with a single swing of his sword. Even he couldn't do any damage to it. And with just one strike! That strike was beyond his comprehension. He knew that even if he spent thousands of years honing his swordsmanship, he wouldn't be able to replicate even a fraction of that strike.

"I told you: You'll find out soon enough."

Jiang You looked at the dazed Gao Wen, smiled, and continued with his previous answer.

"He, is Hassan? Is he Assassin?"

Gawain was stunned when he got the answer.

204

Chapter 204: Royal Guard Knight + Throne, my DNA is moving!

"To think that the defenses set up by the king were destroyed just like this, no wonder the king wanted to advance the plan."

Agguiwen, trapped within the light curtain, was unaffected by the celestial signs. He also saw Wang Ha's attack clearly, and from that sword strike, he felt the fear of death. It was ridiculous that a heroic spirit, already undead, could fear death.

"With you and the guy just now, it is possible that you could pose a threat to the king."

Agguiwen stood before Jiang You. He was the last line of defense for the Knights of the Round Table, and behind him lay the throne room. He knew the Royal Guards were no match for this group, so he prepared to use delaying tactics. The King's Holy Lance would soon be restored to the Tower of the End, and even if they had sufficient strength, it would be too late.

"I won't let you go!"

"That look in his eyes, he wants to hold us back."

Minamoto no Raikou saw through Aguguiwen's thoughts. Fighting will never lie. For a warrior who has reached a certain level, a single glance is enough to understand the opponent's mind during battle.

"Jiang You, if you want to stop the guys up there, you have to rush over now."

Medea saw more clearly that the flow of magic power was constantly converging towards the throne, and there was no time to waste with Agaguiwen.

"Minamoto no Raikou, I'll leave him to you!"

Minamoto no Raikou had previously expressed his desire to fight the Knights of the Round Table, and Jiang You had granted her permission. Aggguiwen explicitly stated in the game that he had not asked for the Lion King's blessing, and given his strength and the legends surrounding him, he was likely no match for Minamoto no Raikou. Furthermore, even if Minamoto no Raikou was defeated, he would simply return to the timeline of the Fifth War, making this a sure win.

"give it to me."
