The Apostle, who has projected the form of a one-eyed Western dragon, whose wings have been severed by Artoria are slowly growing back. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But with the condensation of the magic ball in its mouth, its body gradually became transparent.

Lux and Artoria could already see through its body, the core of it—a magical body that distorted even the light and absorbed outside energy.

"Can you see the death mark on its core?" Artoria asked.

"Mark of death? Dead line, you say? Not yet. Lux shook her head.

"Well, I'll buy you time, I've been chasing it for almost three days, and I can't let it escape this time anyway." Artoria spoke, unleashing the Wind King's Hammer once more, shaped like a sharp sword, with a brilliant light, stabbing straight into the apostle's neck, if its head was cut off, it would not be able to gather its magic power to attack for the time being.

"Guardian of the Roots...... Destroy! The apostle's throat came out of a human voice, but it was still indistinct.

It knew that the human girl in front of it who exuded oppressive magic had been continuously weakened in the past three days of fighting, and its original thirty-meter-long body was now less than ten meters left, and the rest of the body was cut off by Artoria in the battle.

So it knows that just by ordinary means, it just sits back and waits.

It intends to spread its "wings" and show itself for what it really is.

Artoria got closer and closer to the apostle's neck, and the apostle swallowed the ball of energy in one gulp.

A huge amount of magic power was instantly injected into the core of the apostle, and the greedy black hole was as if it was full, and the original continuous absorption turned into spitting, and the appearance of the apostle's one-eyed western dragon was instantly shattered, replaced by a one-eyed giant egg suspended in the air, and the surface of the giant egg had many holes of different sizes, and the dense phobia of Lux was about to be committed.

"For the Demon King!" The inside of the dome unexpectedly emitted a clear human voice, and dense rays shot out from the hole, and these rays turned around like missiles, and shot towards Artoria.

Artoria unleashed the Wind King's enchantment defenses, but was easily pierced, and the rays hit her mana condensed armor, but to no avail, because the armor's mana density far exceeded the rays.

"Is this who you really are? Finally, I can't take care of the power of the root of the theft. Artoria continued to advance against the rays, only raising her sword to block a few attacks to the head.

"After I destroy you, the guardian, there will be no one in this area to stop me!" The giant egg roared, one-eyed spun rapidly, and a black aura appeared above its head.

"Then you can try! Bet on the glory of my king, and I will definitely leave you here today! "Artoria's blade was filled with holy light, and after deflecting all the rays, the man had reached the level of the one-eyed of the Dome.

“Excalibur！” A pillar of light shot out, pointing directly at the one-eyed of the Dome.

"Ridiculous magic! Let you see the power of the root you are guarding! The Dome's eyes stopped turning, and a black barrier appeared in front of his eyes, completely obscuring Excalibur's light, and seemed to be devouring the power of the light and strengthening itself.

"Corruption?!" Lux, who was watching the battle, saw at a glance the nature of the power that came from the Vortex of the Roots.

As she spoke, a clear mark of death appeared on the giant egg's body, all the way deep into its body, reaching its core.

"Just hit that mark." Lux flicked the knight's sword in her hand, and the sword turned into a longbow with her hand.

This is the function of Lux's Noble Phantasm, the "Swinging Strings", which can be transformed into any kind of weapon, although it is not liberated by the Phantasm.

Then, Lux pulled out the black dagger pinned to her waist, placed it on the bowstring, and pulled it full.

"Elves of light, help me show the way!" The magic chanted out, and the light covered the entire bow.

As Lux fired the dagger, all the light from the bow followed the pitch-black blade and shot at the death mark on the apostle's body.

It was like a pair of invisible hands, dragging the dagger, and shooting straight into the mark of death.

Without any resistance, the dagger plunged deep into the apostle's body, striking it straight at its core.

"Nope! I haven't completed the mission I've been given to me by the Sloth Demon King! How can you just die here! The Dome twitched, and the barrier against Excalibur vanished without a trace.

Then, its one eye was pierced by the light.

"Ahh The giant egg screamed, its body gradually disintegrated, and the black magic rose into the air, being sucked in by the vortex in the sky, and with each inhalation, the vortex spun a little faster.

Artoria fell back to the ground, looked at Lux approvingly, and said, "Good job, master." ”

"Don't look at whose master I'm either." Lux spread her hands in a stinky way.

"Well, but this apostle has been weakened by two-thirds of me, if you meet an apostle in a complete state, I'm afraid you will be killed directly." Artoria said mercilessly.

"Will it? Haha, isn't there still Artoria? Lux laughed dryly.

Artoria nodded, and said no more, just stared at the vortex in the sky, and his gaze became more solemn.

"After absorbing so much magic, I'm afraid there is not much time left before the door opens."

……

Uncle Zhao led the team to the train station, intending to build fortifications, but unexpectedly ran into a group of survivors.

They appear to be travelers who had just arrived in Ping'an City by train before the disaster broke out.

Thankfully, the zombies haven't been able to attack the train yet, so there have been no casualties among them. Suspiciously, however, these men were holding a pitch-black cross in their hands.

"God will bless you, you in the sea of suffering." Said one of the leaders.

Uncle Zhao sneered at this inexplicable and wonderful fellow, and said, "If God will bless you, why are you still trapped here?" ”

The man laughed and said, "If it weren't for God's protection, I'm afraid I would have died on the first day." ”

"I don't want to discuss with you whether there is or not, now we need drivers who can drive buses, do you know any?" Uncle Zhao said.

"Driver? I guess any of them would have wanted to leave in a car, but unfortunately it seems that the people who can drive have already fled by themselves. The man said.

"There must still be a driver, I myself or you go to find it, if you find it, I will let you go, otherwise let your cult disappear from history." Uncle Zhao said, leaving a soldier waiting for Lux, and then took the remaining two people directly to the waiting hall.
