Chapter Twenty-Nine: My King Joins the Heavens
Lux and Shirou looked at the sword-wielding girl who rushed into the siege in a daze, and their despair was dispelled a lot. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"SABER, YOU'RE WAKING UP SO SOON?" Shirou asked in surprise.
"THE TERM SABER NO LONGER APPLIES TO ME NOW." Artoria stared at the fanged puppets in front of her, and said without looking back, "Deal with these filthy things first." ”
As she spoke, Artoria made a mistake and brandished her holy sword and rushed towards the endless puppet.
As a swordsman, Artoria's swordsmanship may not be top-notch, but she has experienced a lot of battles and has a strong battlefield instinct, a skill honed in life and death.
The apostle puppet naturally didn't stand still for people to chop, and when they saw the fresh meat in front of them rushing over, their faces were distorted, and they pounced on Artoria with their teeth and claws, they didn't use weapons, their bodies were their weapons.
Artoria swung her holy sword wide open, each sword delicately slashed the head of a puppet, but the delicacy of being a woman was not visible in the swordsmanship, and where the holy sword swept, the puppets screamed and turned into ashes, as if they were burned by fire.
"There are countless apostles who have died under my sword, not to mention these cannon fodder-like apostle puppets." The maiden who was called the Knight King said this, but there was nothing in her tone, for he was a Knight King, and he did not despise anyone by virtue of humility.
It was a one-sided slaughter, and Lux and Shirou only had to deal with the few Apostle puppets on their side, and then watch from the sidelines.
The apostle puppets, which were as numerous as a lake, quickly decreased in the sword wind like Artoria's whirlwind, and the still surviving puppets actually subconsciously retreated, obviously emotionless, but they avoided them as if they were afraid.
Artoria jumped back in front of Lux and Shirou and whispered to them, "Prepare to break through, I haven't recovered yet." ”
"Then break through to the west, there is a response over there." Shirou suggested.
"No problem." Lux began to bless the trio.
"Wind King Enchantment!" Artoria pointed the tip of her sword at the west, and a powerful and tyrannical beam of wind shot out, crushing countless golems to form a pathway.
Artoria rushed first, followed by Lux and Shirou.
With Artoria as an arrow, the team of three successfully broke through the enemy's encirclement, and quickly advanced westward, encountering some human corpses gnawed by puppets on the way, which were no longer called corpses, and were completely human skeletons, more vivid than medical models.
At the speed of three people, they soon arrived at the building where the black-haired girl had appeared.
However, instead of a uniform army of steel, the trio were greeted by a ruined battlefield with the wreckage of at least 200 tanks and combat vehicles scattered around, each of which had been shot into a sieve by an unknown weapon.
"Who did it, I haven't been around for less than an hour." Shirou clenched the double swords in his hand with a solemn face, he can fight against the army, but he definitely can't do it to this extent.
"I think it should have been done by a demon king-level apostle." The Knight King replied.
"Perhaps, it's the 'me'?" Lux felt a little awkward, since she heard Shirou say something about herself, her heart began to waver, although she did not understand what her state had to do with the world, but she was unwilling to take on the burden of deciding the fate of mankind.
If she was just asked to save people, she would be happy to do it.
"That's right, it's me." The lazy voice reappeared, and in the ears of Lux and Shirou, Artoria clenched the sword in her hand solemnly, although it was the first time she had heard it, and she heard the dead silence of the abyss in this voice.
The black-haired girl appeared in front of the three of them out of thin air, and she slowly fell to the ground and smiled at the three of them.
But the three of them could tell from her eyes that she was just looking at Lux alone.
"Little cutie, I see confusion in your eyes." The brunette girl said to Lux.
Before Lux could answer, Artoria stepped forward to block Lux's sight, picked up the holy sword, and said very seriously, "Report your name, Demon King." ”
"What, do you still want to play the knight's set?" The brunette girl covered her mouth and chuckled.
"I am the king of knights, so I naturally want to protect the way of knights, but since you don't want to report your name, I naturally don't need to abide by the rude." With that, Artoria took the lead in attacking.
"A boring woman." The black-haired girl leaned slightly to the side, dodging Artoria's first slash and mocking.
"The impudent have no right to judge me." Seeing that her slash missed, Artoria withdrew her sword and spun around to deliver three slashes from three directions.
However, he still failed to hit a sword.
Like a butterfly made of paper, the black-haired girl dances in Artoria's stormy sword skills, and there is still time to taunt the master of the sword skills.
"The one who wiped out the entire advance party is you, a woman with no interest? But that's it. ”
"Then you try this trick!" Artoria snatched her sword in one hand and grabbed the black-haired girl's arm with the other.
The sudden change of success affects the rhythm of the black-haired girl, and Artoria's foot is lifted by dodging because of the grasp of one hand.
"Death!" Artoria slammed the brunette girl to the ground with a hard blow, and landed her face on the ground.
The smash did not satisfy Artoria, she picked up the black-haired girl again, intending to injure the black-haired girl, but in the process of smashing to the ground, her hand was light, and the black-haired girl was gone.
"I'm angry." The black-haired girl's voice reached the ears of the three of them, but they didn't see anyone who spoke.
"Despair: Eighteen Layers of Hell."
A huge inherent barrier was unfolded, instantly trapping the three of Lux inside, and countless ghosts and ghosts appeared in front of them.
"There is such an inherent enchantment." Artoria's dumb hair trembled a few times, and she knew in her heart that if she wanted to deal with this kind of space that was self-contained, she had to destroy it with absolute power.
So Artoria no longer hesitated, raised the holy sword, and liberated her true name.
“Excalibur!”
The sword qi composed of light burst out, and a huge crack appeared in the space in an instant, and then it collapsed.
The three of them reappeared under Hong'er's sky, and they were all relieved to see the black-haired girl with a trace of blood on the corner of her mouth, it seemed that although the enemy was unpredictable, there was still a way to hurt her.
However, this blow was sent by Excalibur, and Artoria's face was as pale as paper, and anyone could tell that it was because the cost of the Noble Phantasm was too great after releasing it twice.
"Strong ...... It's strong, but the three of you have to keep one. The black-haired girl touched the blood on the side of her mouth and said with a smile.
"Who could it be?"
