Chapter 188: Holy Woman VS Poisonous Woman
Alternate offense and defense.
Black must get the Great Chalice back before it is taken away. Red must hold the Grand Chalice until it is completely captured.
Along with the change in attack and defense, the situation has also reversed. The castle of Mirenia, once known as an impregnable fortress, has become a useless waste, and now it is the Red side that controls the home field.
However, there is another problem in the current situation. That's the presence of Ruler who is heading this way. But only Semiramis and Shakespeare understood this and their lord, Father Shirou.
Whether it's Black or Red, or Joan of Arc – they all understand that it's all a battle of time. In the few minutes before the Great Chalice was stripped of its veins and completely stored inside the Sky Garden, they had to fight desperately with all their might.
As the distance drew closer, Joan of Arc was further amazed by the floating treasure. Although there are not many Heroic Spirits with powerful enough power to destroy the city, they still exist. But when it comes to the Heroic Spirits who have the city itself as a treasure, that number should be quite small.
When the castle existed in the form of a treasure, the only knowledge that Joan of Arc could immediately associate with was the Irish Child of Light. And that's only within the confines of his home country.
Not to mention the fortress floating in the air, which is almost equal to zero. And the most problematic problem now is that the owner of the floating fortress seems to have malicious intentions towards him. It's a big circle, but there's a lot to ask Red about.
- But.
Something deadly is going on, even almost over - there is always such a premonition in my heart. She forced these thoughts out of her mind, and ran desperately up the walls of Mirenia Castle.
Through the large hole pierced through the castle of Mirenia beside him, you can see that the Great Holy Grail is slowly revealing its true face.
“…… It's unbelievable. ”
It's no wonder she makes such a self-talk. Tightly bound to the feeling of oppression all over his body, he is telling himself that it is the real Holy Grail. Incredibly, it is the red side that is trying to drag it out.
Indeed, this is a war centered on the Great Holy Grail. However, that's usually after it's over. With the balance of war still swinging violently, why are they so anxious to recover the Great Holy Grail?
I'm afraid it's not the Red Servant who is causing the problem, but their Master, and it's the one who deviates from the Magic Society's intentions - nine times out of ten, it's the young man in monastic robes seen in the revelation.
By the time she first figured it out, she had already reached the Floating Fortress. The water flows in an upward direction, and the trees clearly grow not upwards but downwards.
"Reverse flow...... The sky garden ......!"
"That's right, Ruler. ”
A mocking voice came from his ear, and he looked at it in a blink of an eye.
A heroic spirit with a garden in the sky as a treasure, Joan of Arc knows two people. One of them was Nebuchadnezzar II, and the other was the legendary empress who had been spread the false fact that she had built a garden in the sky because the old lineage had been conflated with historical facts.
The oldest assassin in the world – Semiramis.
"Red Assassin...... Is it you? ”
"That's right. Well, Ruler. Is there anything wrong with your garden? I don't think I've done anything against the rules. ”
Maybe it's because of the dim lighting, the dark and bewitching evening dress almost blends in with the night. In Joan of Arc's opinion, that feeling was very strange.
"No, you did. ”
"Oh?"
Semiramis seems to have taken an interest.
"So, what rules do you say I have violated?"
"If you can say in your own conscience that you have always followed the rules of the Holy Grail War—please let me meet your Master. ”
In an instant, Semiramis's eyes changed from mockery to vigilance.
Seeing the change in her eyes, Joan of Arc knew that she was looking for the right clue.
“…… Unfortunately, my master is very busy right now. And he's a very scared person, and no matter what, he can't let other servants meet him. ”
"In other words, he is hiding in this garden? ”
Joan of Arc succinctly retorted.
Semiramis had entered a state of imminent battle, and as if to stop her, the Holy Maiden raised the holy banner and declared:
"You should know that's pointless, Red Assassin. ”
"Well, it's true that my magic can't break through your magic power, and that's one of the privileges of being a Ruler. ”
"There are other privileges...... Red Assassin, please don't force me to use this. ”
Joan of Arc's whole body emitted a faint blue glow, and Semiramis had to frown.
"As the Ruler's greatest privilege, is it a spell that can be used on all servants? It's tricky, but even if I use all the spells, I have no intention of betraying the Master. If you give me an order with a commanding spell, the Master will stop it. ”
"In other words, isn't the Master a puppet?"
"I'd like to turn him into a puppet if I can, but even in this garden—forget it, it's useless to talk to you, you know I won't betray him. ”
Hearing Semiramis's words, Joan of Arc took a step forward and declared, although he was a little puzzled:
"Now, then, you are my enemy. ”
At this stage, she has finally defined the Red Assassin and her Master as clear enemies.
For Joan of Arc's declaration of war, as arrogant as the Assyrian empress, she also showed a solemn expression.
Originally, the ability level of the Assassin was completely incomparable to that of the Ruler, and the pairing of the Magician and the Ruler was also very deadly. Normally, even if she didn't use the spell, she wouldn't have to spend much time defeating herself.
Fortunately, her lord Shirou had already expected to be an enemy of Joan of Arc, and had already prepared in advance.
"Oh, yes. Am I thy enemy, and I will have to do everything in my power to bring you down. ”
Semiramis raised his left hand as he spoke, his thumb and middle finger overlapping, and he gestured.
However, Joan of Arc moves even faster than she does.
Although there is still a big gap between her martial arts skills and those who are proud of the gods such as Karna and Achilles, she is not an idle person. With a distance of only three meters, she will not give Semiramis any chance to perform magic.
The banner rolled in the wind, and before it could be fully unfurled, the silver tip of the spear at the top had already been struck head-on—this was Joan of Arc's best attack, which she named "Apocalypse".
However, this inevitable blow did not fall on Semiramis's head, and a black fish-scale armor suddenly opened on the top of Semiramis's head just before the Holy Flag fell.
It was this piece of armor that blocked Joan of Arc's holy flag and gave Semiramis a chance to wipe his fingers.
With a soft snap, Semiramis's figure vanished from place, leaving only a sigh of admiration.
"Should I say that a saint is a saint? I can't even resist the 'Scales of the Divine Fish'—"
"The Scale of the Divine Fish", the "divinity" of Semiramis as a demigod appears.
"Divinity" seems to be ethereal and meaningless, but in fact it is the source of the strength of many heroes. People with "divinity" are born with a higher starting point than those without "divinity", and it is easier for them to emerge and become the focus of attention. This can be seen from the fact that most of the protagonists of various Western legends and stories are demigods.
Because the source of "divinity" is different, the power given is also different. As the son of the sun god Surya, Karna was given the iconic fire of the sun, not to mention Achilles, whose immortality was blessed by his mother Theseus, and the currents that entwined around the "little world that surrounded the sky".
And Semiramis also got a special ability from his mother, the fish god Dilikit, and the scale armor of the divine fish is also one of them.
"-I don't know what will happen to the real divine fish?"
Joan of Arc furrowed her eyebrows, her sky-like eyes staring warily.
Suddenly, behind her, space shook like ripples, and a strange fish with a hideous face leaped out of it.
PS: Although "divinity" is always ridiculed as a useless skill, it is actually very useful, after all, no one can deny the power of bloodlines.
PS2: Well, I saw that many book friends said that they abused the master, and the traitor was advised to be calm.
First of all, every step of Shirou has a deep meaning.
Secondly, this is only good for the second master, and there is no harm. Suffering a little loss now,It's for better growth in the future - as the book friend Tzuei said,The second master went too smoothly before.,The strength has grown and the mentality hasn't.,Next is the most important metamorphosis of Shen Er.,With this transformation,Shen Er can really no longer rely on plot advantages and various plug-ins to become a real powerhouse.。 The protagonist feels depressed when he encounters a setback, and then abandons the book, and the traitor feels a pity, which is really a pity.
PS3: Rape Shao can already foresee that the subscription will definitely fall in the future, maybe worse than at the end of the third volume, but after so many ups and downs, Rape Shao's mentality is also much better, and since he has written it, he will definitely finish it. If you believe in the rape, please keep reading, the rape will depict a wonderful story to make up for the various regrets of the month. If you don't want to believe in the treacherous, you can't force it, so let's get together and disperse.
