Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Servant of the Roots
Artoria ...... Are you really going to storm the army directly? Looking at the enemy who was waiting for him, a cold sweat could not help but flow from the corners of his forehead. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"The situation at the fortress of Kyoto is not optimistic, can't you go around it?"
Artoria shook her head, stared at the smiling Thirteenth Apostle on her mount, and said, "If we don't charge head-on, I'm afraid they won't let us pass." ”
In response, the Thirteenth Apostle pulled a trumpet out of his bosom and gave the command to attack.
Most of the apostles and demon kings are irascible creatures, their blood is always boiling, if it weren't for the thirteenth apostle to suppress them with a royal decree, I'm afraid these bloodthirsty maniacs would have rushed to the two seemingly petite and delicious girls in front of them.
Artoria brought Lux north behind her, and she used her magic to condense her armor, holding the holy sword in her hand.
"Master, I'm going to go, hold on."
When Lux heard this, he quickly wrapped his hands around Artoria's chest, so that he could ensure that he would not be thrown out without hindering Artoria's movements.
Of course, it was only the cold touch of the armor in his hands, not the barren softness.
Undeterred by the menacing wolves, Artoria launched a counter-charge towards the densest spots of the enemy.
The rain kept falling, the muddy ground was slippery, and the apostles were constantly falling in the way of the charge, trampled into flesh by the apostles who rushed after them.
However, the striker has already exchanged fire with Artoria.
Artoria strode forward, steady on her feet, her sword sweeping like the wind over every apostle who dared to confront her head-on.
The two-handed knight's sword was unusually docile in her hands, and the continuous slashing and provoking made the apostles exhausted.
In the blink of an eye, Artoria was already surrounded, and the apostles had stopped their charge, surrounding Artoria in the middle, and kept stretching out their weapons, trying to inflict damage on Artoria and the girl behind her. And Artoria would rather have her armor beaten with a ping-pong sound, but also protect the girl behind her.
Thanks to the armor being hard enough to cushion the Wind King's enchantment, Artoria dared to be distracted to protect the girl behind her.
"Artoria, don't get into a fight, attack that commander quickly." Seeing Artoria being hit several times, Lux couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"As it should be!" Artoria parried the attacks of the three apostles at a tricky angle as she looked up to confirm the location of the thirteenth apostle.
"Over there! Windlord Warhammer! Artoria tripled the strength of the Wind King's enchantment, and rushed towards the thirteenth apostle with the apostles in front of her, like a chariot, and the apostles along the way were knocked into the air.
However, the mana consumed by this shock was simply astronomical, and Artoria's face turned a little pale.
"You are not allowed to come near our commander!" A muscular brother apostle lunged up from the side and slammed into the barrier on Artoria's side, causing Artoria to lose her balance and nearly fall to the ground, forcing her to pause her attack and support her body with her sword.
"Damn, is it still a little too forced?" Artoria, who stabilized her figure, did not dare to pause at all, picked up the holy sword and cut off the four apostles, and once again released the Wind King's war hammer, but this time the enchantment was much weaker, and the impact was also reduced a lot.
"Artoria, isn't the magic enough?" When she almost got hit again, Lux asked Lartoria, who was barely holding on to her energy output.
"No, I can still support it, support it up to that commander." Artoria said reluctantly.
"Don't hold it up, I'll make up for you." Lux has regained some of her mana, which she lost to Artoria through the Spell Piercing.
These magic powers from the root were like stimulants to Artoria, and the Wind King's hammer output suddenly increased, and the two of them broke through the enemy's encirclement in an instant.
"Master, the purity of your magic is definitely the best among the Heroic Spirits." Artoria couldn't help but exclaim.
The mount of the Thirteenth Apostle was already in sight, and the last barrier was the defense line formed by the three demon kings.
"Knight King, you are indeed as powerful as rumored." The thirteenth apostle looked at the many apostles who were still chasing behind the two girls, and couldn't help but admire.
"But can you break through the defenses of these three demon kings before they arrive?"
Artoria looked at the three demon kings and found that they were just lower-level demon kings, and if she had enough magic power, she could kill them in an instant, but for now......
"Master, please give me some more mana."
"Are you sure? Root Mana will corrode your Immortal Core, and once it is excessively corroded, you will break away from Alaiyah and most likely disappear! Lux refused.
"Now is not the time to worry about the enemy in front of Dabai!" Artoria's tone was a little anxious.
"Alright, Artoria, let go of me, I'm going to be in tune with you, even if you are corrupted, it won't go away."
"You will become my exclusive servant! You have to think about it! ”
"That's my pleasure." Artoria relentlessly felt the spiritual connection of Lux.
In an instant, a huge wave of magic rushed into Artoria's mind with an obscure method of life, and it turned out that it was Lux who distributed a part of her origin energy to Artoria, and this part of the origin formed a core in Artoria's mind, becoming Artoria's second source of power, just like a nuclear reactor that continuously provided pure magic power.
Due to the fact that the second core brought the law magic of the root level, the holy sword forged from the earth also changed, and the originally golden holy sword became silver, but the aura on the blade became even more terrifying.
The blue knight's armor had also turned pure silver, and it was covered with obscure mysterious runes.
"A feeling of power." Artoria felt the strength of the magic in her body and couldn't help but glance at Lux, only to find that her Master was tired and unconscious.
"Finish you out soon, and then the fortress will end this chaos!" Artoria said, leaping to her feet, facing the pursuers behind her, freeing the Noble Phantasm.
“Excalibur!”
With the liberation of the Holy Sword, countless silver holy lights erupted in a fan-shape, completely enveloping the apostolic legions that were chasing after them.
In less than thirty seconds, the holy light faded, and the 10,000 apostles of this legion were all wiped out under a single move.
Artoria fell back to the ground, took her sword in one hand, pointed the tip of her sword at the Thirteenth Apostle and the Three Ming Demon King, and said murderously, "Now, let's settle the score!" ”
