Chapter 45: The Great War IV
Li Ji and his party finally came to the vain courtyard in the sky.
They are greeted by the newly returned Red Archer Atalanta.
"Stranger, who are you, and why did you get involved in the Holy Grail War?" Atalanta asked, holding her Celestial Vault Bow in her hand, aiming.
"Little Black, Big Illya stays." Li Ji immediately signaled, knowing that with the outbreak of various mutations below, the servants scattered everywhere would withdraw one after another, and in order to avoid being besieged, they had to race against time.
"Atalanta, let my two sisters deal with you." Li Ji said loudly, "I don't know, are you willing to do it to children?" β
Li Ji took the six guides Lingxia and Jack and headed deeper into the courtyard.
Deadly arrows were fired.
"Sister, your opponent is us." Xiao Hei summoned his bow and arrow, projected a spiral sword, and directly intercepted the arrow.
"You're definitely not either side of the Holy Grail War, who are you?" Atalanta questioned again, angry, "Why, young people, are you joining such a brutal battle?" β
Big Illya didn't answer, and a plural number of white stork knights numbering fifty appeared behind her, and her body made of wire flexibly transformed into the form of a sword under her control, unleashing a series of gorgeous attacks.
Xiao Hei began to project, and there were countless swords behind him, one after the sword she had seen before, and the sword that had been seen by the nameless heroic spirit appeared, and under her order, chased after the figure of Atalanta.
The place where Atalanta stood quickly turned into ruins.
In the vain courtyard of the sky, in addition to the master and servant of the red side, plus Li Ji's side, there is also a lone black servant at this moment, Vlad III.
"Damn, my strength is still declining." Vlad III felt that his hopes of victory became increasingly slim after stepping into this territory that did not belong to Romania, but he could not lose, if he did, the Holy Grail war would come to an end, and such a challenge alone was not enough to discourage him.
"My king, it's too late." At some point, the figure of Danick appeared behind him, the noble, immortal magician, who asked him in respectful, incomparably rational words.
"Darnik, you're here to help me!" Vlad III replied haughtily in the face of Karna, who was still fighting and showing no defeat at all, and the Great Holy Grail, which was not far from them, and refused to give in.
"You know, this still can't quickly defeat the lancer, let alone take back the Great Holy Grail, everything has completely lost control, and without absolute power, you can't change everything." Darnick replied again without humility, he had a premonition that more servants were gathering here, and the strangers who had just entered the courtyard behind him, made him feel terrified of the unknown.
"So, I have a suggestion - if you're willing to use that Noble Phantasm."
"No, Darnik, I don't want to hear that sentence just now, you know, that Noble Phantasm, for me, means that the glory I seek has been completely trampled on, I can't tolerate the existence of the master who ordered me to use this Noble Phantasm, I will not hesitate to kill you."
"No, no, for the sake of the Great Grail, there is nothing that cannot be sacrificed, this is our only choice." Darnik replied in the same resolute tone before raising his hand and activating the Commanding Spell.
The Spell is a limited number of times that the Grand Chalice gives to the Master to force the Servant to execute the command, and the Heroic Spirit can choose to refuse, and for most Heroic Spirits, they will find disgust at best, but will not refuse to execute the contents of the Command.
"You guy!" Vlad III had a premonition that the worst thing had happened to him and shouted in a terrible voice.
Darnik, the magician who survived the Third Holy Grail War, continued to chant calmlyβ
"First Command Spell, I command you, Lancer Vlad III, to immediately activate the inheritance of the blood of the Noble Phantasm."
"The second spell will survive until you get the Great Grail."
Vlad III let out a terrified, trembling roar, "I, I don't want to be a vampire!" β
But everything could not be stopped, his noble body was swallowed by the raging sea of blood in the blink of an eye, and a monster with no fixed body and high-speed movement appeared like a demon, and a blow pierced Darnik on the opposite side.
"Vlad III, hahahaha, vampires, real vampires are born, very good, with the third spell, engrave my existence on your soul, lancer!" A dying Darnik shouted, closing his eyes as if his wish had been granted.
Darnik's soul penetrated upwards along Vlad III's twisted and flowing body, quickly blending in, and after a while, the vampire regained his human form, opened his eyes and laughed wildly, "Sure enough, I'm not dead, I'm not Vlad III, I'm not Darnik, but such a monster in between, the world doesn't tolerate it, it's good, it's good, at least, my desire to pursue the Great Holy Grail will be inherited." β
Karna watched from the sidelines of this mutation, and the birth of the rumored vampire Vlad III, who had been incarnated as a demon, made him understand that he needed to eliminate the other party immediately and without question.
At the same time, more servants gathered in the direction of the Great Grail, where Vlad III fought Karna, for the Servants, the Great Holy Grail was the most important.
For Li Ji, according to the development of the plot, he did not need to pay attention to the Great Holy Grail, and drove him to take a completely different path, leading to the highest part of the throne in the courtyard.
Their footsteps entered the hall where the red team's Semiramis had set sail in the sky courtyard of the vanity not long ago.
"Welcome, strange visitor, I wonder what you are doing in my place? I can't provide you with interesting battles, and besides, in my territory, aren't you afraid? β
A bewitching girl in a long black dress slowly stood up from her throne and looked down on them condescendingly.
