Chapter 75: A Collision of Miracles (5)
The opponent of the king can only be the same king.
You can be defeated and killed by those who are inferior, but that self-respecting pride will never be extinguished. Giving the king respect is to keep this pride alive. For a knight who walks alone with a sword, there is no shortage of enemies, but an opponent worthy of respect is really hard to find. If you meet an opponent who is really worth fighting, even if there will inevitably be a difference between life and death between each other, you still have to give the opponent the greatest respect.
There is no other reason, just recognition at first sight. It's like a lover with a soul, the touch of the heart at that moment. The difference is that one may be able to last forever, and the sea will rot. And the other is to end this rare relationship with blood and vanished life.
As a king, Artoria is unwilling to conquer the king's arrogance, and as a knight, Artoria is willing to give her opponents the greatest justice. Therefore, when the Macedonian cavalry was blocked by the Knights of the Round Table one after another, Artoria categorically rejected the request of the Twelve Round Tables to join the battle in the face of the riders who came alone, and rode her horse to meet the battle herself.
There was no Heroic Spirit who could stand alone at the Twelve Round Table, and even Artoria thought she couldn't do that. If the round table was brought together, the conquering king would surely be defeated, but Artoria was reluctant to do so, as she considered the conquering king to be her opponent, and the other party came to challenge her as a king. This kind of battle cannot be refused, and this pride cannot be insulted.
The horses neighed and swords, the sand flew away from the stones, the fighting spirit soared to the sky, and the wind surged. It's just a battle between the two, but it leads to a drastic change in the sky. This stunned Weber, who was stunned, for in his understanding this was a scene that could only appear in the battle of the gods, and only in mythology. So when a scene that subverted common sense appeared in front of him, even if he was already accustomed to the incredibity of the Heroic Spirit, he couldn't help but be surprised.
"Ho-!"
Sideways to block a sword slashed by the rider, Artoria took advantage of the opponent's new strength to slam the opponent off the horse with ten percent of the strength of her left fist. And the king of conquest, who fell off his horse in embarrassment, rolled on the spot and quickly put on the defensive position, looking at Artoria vigilantly.
"Well, how can I say it, I really like the feeling of stepping on the ground compared to horse war, so just accompany me to land battle, rider ......."
Ignoring the King of Conquest's helpless eyes, Artoria said a little domineeringly. Respecting the opponent does not mean blindly perfecting, and in the position of the rider, the riding power of the conquering king is naturally superior to that of Artoria. What's more, Artoria's own strength can only be exerted to the extreme by relying on the support of the earth, so for all these considerations, Artoria decisively used brute force to overturn the rider and dismount.
The extremely simple vertical slash is like a meteor that cuts through the nine heavens. Perhaps the sword of oath that outsiders saw was the brilliance that shone with victory, but what the King of Conquest experienced at this time was the smell of death from the Nine Shadows. The extreme of force and speed brings irresistibility and unresponsiveness.
The swift horizontal splitting seems to be able to cut through the waves of thousands of miles. What is split is the dimensional space, and what blooms is the fragrance of the moment. Soft to the extreme, and just to the extreme, the rider who has not yet recovered from the upper move was hit by this divine blow again. In an instant, it was the flesh and skin outside the body that shattered and the internal organs in the body, and Rao is conquering king, a strong man, couldn't help but let out a painful moan.
“rider!”
Seeing the King of Conquest who fell to the disadvantage in just two moves, Weber couldn't help but cry out worriedly, and at the same time, this not very good magician used his little magic power to treat the servant's injuries. Of course, he knew that this would not change the tide of battle, but the boy simply thought that it was good to just relieve some pain, not at all.
Gently wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Rider looked at the red liquid on the back of his hand, and a chill suddenly appeared in his heart. This level of injury was far from enough to make him incapacitated, but the terrible situation made him feel powerless. After all, the King of Conquering was once a king who could not be defeated in a hundred battles, how could he have experienced such a powerless war.
However, the king can not easily give up.
"If you want to defeat me, you have to increase your attack tenfold!"
Yes, this is only a defeat, and it will never be possible for me to conjure up the king of conquest. As if he was not aware of the situation that was unfavorable to him, the heroism of the rider can never be measured by common sense.
“.......”
Artoria is just silent about the rider, which is a state of insignificance, and once Artoria enters this state, it indicates that her fighting mood is at the extreme. Ignoring the slightest distraction from the outside world, all thoughts are in the service of the battle, anticipating the opponent's attack all the time, this is Artoria's strongest posture.
Extremely powerful attacks
Without any idleness, Artoria waited until the king of conquest had recovered and immediately attacked. The wordless Artoria is even more powerful, and even a small gesture is performed after careful calculation. It seems to be an ordinary sword, but it has calculated all possible defensive measures of the opponent in advance.
Blindly pressed and beaten by Artoria, Rao is self-proclaimed king of conquest who has unparalleled strength is also holding back the fire in his belly. Now seeing that Artoria took the initiative to attack again, the rider did not defend the counterattack, and raised his sword to meet it head-on.
"Drink, ah, ah!"
Knowing that her opponent had a terrifying power that did not match her petite body, Rider took out twelve points of strength as soon as she came up. Swords collided fiercely, and this kind of bloody battle was also what he was looking forward to, a competition of pure strength.
However, Artoria clearly didn't give him a chance this time.
【Intuition and Prediction】
It's a cheating ability, and the endless fight gives Artoria an almost instinctive anticipation of battle. It's not the so-called empiricism, but the real sixth sense that predicts the future. In the process of fighting, Artoria can constantly read the opponent's next move, which is even more rebellious for Artoria, who is extremely strong in individual combat ability.
Predicting the attack of the King of Conquest, Artoria only slightly deviated her head and avoided the path of the sword. Immediately afterward, the sword of victory of the oath stabbed its foe in the chest. Even if the rider tried his best to dodge, he still took away a large amount of blood.
"Ahh
Bearing back the sharp pain in his abdomen, Rider ignored the wound, and rushed forward without hesitation, waving his sword continuously, but no matter what kind of attack he had, Artoria easily dodged. Artoria's leisurely stroll and rider's exhilarating offense create a strong visual contrast, and the power of intuition is terrifying.
Even though he knew that he was useless, Rider still refused to give up, and he slashed through it again with his backhand, this time Artoria did not dodge, but used the Sword of Oath to block her opponent's attack. With a cold face, Artoria quietly received a blow from her opponent, and her expressionless face did not show the slightest sense of hardship.
The sword and the sword are entangled, this is a contest of strength between the two sides. Relying on the advantage of his body, Rider pressed the weight of his whole body on the sword, as if he must fight against Artoria. On the contrary, Artoria did not have much of a competitive heart, only to see that she suddenly stepped on the chest of the rider with both feet off the ground, her body shrunk into a ball, and in an instant, the huge force on her feet made the conqueror king be shocked back a few steps, and at the same moment, Artoria spun around quickly, and slashed a sword by the way, leaving a huge wound on the conqueror king's body.
Holding the sword in one hand, the dazzling blood dripped down the hilt little by little, and the rider gasped heavily, and several wounds on his body looked hideous and terrifying. Although he has good combat power, he is not good at fighting alone. Coupled with the fact that the Kamui Wheel was destroyed by Artoria's Sword of Victory, the King of Conquest, who had lost a great weapon, was no match for Artoria.
Looking at the embarrassed appearance of the rider, Artoria did not have any intention of keeping her hand. Because since this war was destined to end in life and death, sympathy has lost its meaning. The pride of the conquering king would rather die standing than survive because of the sympathy of his opponents, so Artoria's will to fight was extremely strong.
Just when the two faced off, the winner was finally decided on the other battlefield. Without the commander of the conquering king, and his own strength was inferior to that of the Knights of the Round Table, the defeat of the Macedonians was an ironclad thing. However, it was impossible for Holy Britain to swallow such a large team in a short period of time, and a small number of remnants broke through and gathered behind Rider. In a short time, the conqueror has gathered a large army behind him, and this is his last resort, and the rider will lead his soldiers in a final charge.
"Rush, my brothers, for the last glory!"
