Chapter 82: The Endgame (5)

Huge sparks and smoke from the collision between the Noble Phantasm and the earth filled the empty plaza outside the hall. After a while, after the smoke gradually cleared, Artoria, who was in the center of the attack, gradually revealed.

The armor made of magic was torn apart by the sharp blades, and the delicate skin exposed was stained bright red with blood.

Didn't dodge this attack.

Of course, Artoria suffered no small injuries. Even at the most critical moment, she defended herself with her reaction speed and perception against the sky, but that was only a drop in the bucket by making the injury a little lighter. Judging from this game, the undeniably Artoria was pressed and beaten. Although she always reminded herself to beware of the other party's Noble Phantasm, the ever-changing and different attributes of the Noble Phantasm attack still caught her off guard.

Thankfully, the damage isn't enough to affect the big picture. With a little release of magic power, the originally somewhat broken knight's armor suddenly recovered as before, and the injuries on his body were instantly intact under Avalon's treatment. This is Artoria's advantage, with the ultimate treasure blessing, no matter what kind of damage it receives, it can be recovered, it can be said that there is no solution.

“......”

Stretching out the back of his hand and gently wiping it on his cheek, although the scar had long since healed, the coagulated blood had not disappeared. Artoria stared silently at the red blood stains on her hands, silent.

This was probably the first time he had been hurt since the Holy Grail War. For a warrior who has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, Artoria will not feel any anger because her opponent is a good enough person to match herself, and injuries are expected. But since you have the ability to hurt yourself, it's better to have the ability to bear the consequences.

An explosion of magic!

Huge magical power erupted from Artoria's body, forming a torrent that swept the heavens and the earth. Artoria ignored the distance of space with the Supreme Sword in one hand, and appeared in front of Gilgamesh's eyes in an instant as if he were teleporting.

It seems that the suppression of Artoria has made the most ancient king taste the sweetness, and he has not given up his previous style of play, and still attacks according to the blueprint he envisioned, relying on the advantages of his treasure Phantasm. I saw him clench his hands, and the two treasures were immediately pulled out of the treasure house.

With just a slight glance, Artoria immediately understood that Gilgamesh had treasures with dragon-slaying attributes in his hands. It seems that the Hero King still wants to break his opponent with a weak point, which is the most correct choice, but unfortunately it has little effect on Artoria.

Artoria couldn't have been planted in the same pit twice, and for someone of her level, it only took one blow to see through the tactical subtleties of her opponent. Although the profession is Heroic Spirit and not Saint Seiya, Artoria said that she will not suffer the same way of playing.

Melee combat is very simple to say, it is a combination of quality and skill. The unique job placement system of the Holy Grail gives Artoria a great advantage in this regard, and perhaps the Hero King was once a hand-to-hand maniac in mythology, but he is bound by the rules of the Holy Grail, which makes it difficult for him to fight against Artoria in this regard. In the case of the same level, that small difference is enough to determine the winner or loser.

A combo that combines speed and strength!

Leaned down to dodge Gilgamesh's attack, followed by a steady stream of counterattacks from Artoria like a torrential rain. The combo of attacks in one go made the hero king tired of defending, but the defense was bound to lose for a long time, but Artoria's series of attacks was only to disrupt Gilgamesh's rhythm. Once the rhythm is out of order, then the flaws will naturally appear, and now it seems that her purpose has been achieved.

Relying on the weapon in his hand to constantly resist Artoria's attacks, Gilgamesh's range of movements increased as Artoria deliberately changed. When the weapon was swung desperately on the outside with both hands, the hinterland in the middle was unprotected and the door of the cave was wide open.

Raging Slash!

Artoria seized this fleeting opportunity in an instant, only to see her make a false move, feigning to attack the head. Obviously, the Hero King did not realize Artoria's intentions, or that he was caught in Artoria's rhythm, so he had to follow the opponent's actions and defend mechanically. Anyway, Gilgamesh was tricked, and Artoria seized the opportunity without any suspense.

Just as Gilgamesh raised his weapon and crossed it to block Artoria's sword. Artoria suddenly changed direction, her legs squatted slightly, and a swift turn turned towards the Hero King's abdomen with a furious slash.

"Whoa!"

If this blow works, then the hero king will be seriously injured even if he does not die, and the holy sword fused with the sword in the stone has the attribute of the king. But all kings are bound to suffer damage bonuses, not to mention that it also has the nature of breaking demons. But when the sword slashed down, Artoria knew that her goal might not be achieved.

Looking at the gloomy Hero King and his golden armor that had been cut open with a hideous crack, Artoria knew that the other party was rich, but she did not expect that the gorgeous armor he had been wearing was a defensive treasure. Judging from the fact that it can block the blow of the holy sword, that level is definitely not lower than A, and it also hides some special abilities, at least the ability to defend against demons.

What a hard-shelled turtle...

Artoria muttered in her heart, like the other party's equipment armed to the teeth, I am afraid that the attack below the city can be ignored. Although she didn't think that the Hero King's turtle shell would still be able to block her second sword, it was impossible for the opposing opponent to give herself such a chance.

"What a woman to be reckoned with, Saber!"

Although he was unhappy with his embarrassed appearance, the Hero King did not show the anger he had in his previous battle with Berserker. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can be relieved, if you are hurt by someone who is weaker or despised than yourself, it is indeed infuriating. But if it's a battle of the same level, it's normal to get hurt.

Although Gilgamesh is unruly, it does not mean that he is a good-for-nothing wayward. The reason why he is arrogant is because he has the capital that despises everything, and no one can be equal to him, so he has the psychology of being an invincible person. Now that he has met his opponent in chess, why can't he be happy in the hearty battle he hasn't encountered for a long time.

"You are the second person to be recognized by this king besides Enkidu, and you are also the one who can match this king. ”

Gilgamesh looked at Artoria with a satisfied expression, and it was clear that she was appreciative, but Artoria did not like it very much, because it was like a reward from the mouth of the ancient king. Artoria also has her own arrogance, and she is as rebellious as a hero king in her bones, but she hides it better.

What a proud man prides himself on is, of course, disdained to be justified by the recognition of others, which is why Artoria and Gilgamesh could never come together, both of whom had their own ideas and were incongruous people.

"To be able to fight this king to this extent, it would be rude if you didn't take out the real treasure!"

He used the key in his hand to open the treasure house in the void, but Gilgamesh didn't go this time to unfold the endless treasure group or draw out the top weapons that will go down in history, he just took out a mere sword.

It is also strange to call it a sword, because it has both a hilt and a gauntlet, and is about the same length as a normal longsword. But the most critical part of the sword body is far from the traditional sword. I saw that the three cylinders were tightly connected, and the not sharp blades were twisted into a spiral, and the three cylinders slowly wound together like chains, whirling and stretching out each other.

Yes, it can no longer be called a sword. Something that was born long before the concept of the sword could not have taken on the shape of a sword. It was made by God before the creation of man, and it is a witness to the manifestation of divinity at the time of creation.

I saw that the three-stage cylinder like a grinding disc echoed the movements of the celestial sphere, each rubbing and rotating with a weight and strength comparable to the earth's crust, and the expanding magic that rolled out was simply immeasurable.

"You will witness the greatest power in the world, and I will personally show you the laws of the world, and sleep forever under this sword, Saber!"

Gilgamesh's arms were raised above his head, and the Initial Sword began to spin slowly. Each lap is quicker and quicker......

The girl who witnessed all this clenched the holy sword in her hand, as if this was the only way to gain the greatest confidence. The Hero King's Noble Phantasm shocked her too much, and that Noble Phantasm probably exceeded all the levels she knew, and perhaps only Avalon could compete with it, although the effects of the two were thousands of miles apart.

"Wake up, EA. An opponent worthy of you has finally reappeared!"

With the roar of the hurricane, Gilgamesh's hilt burst with swollen magic. EA - In ancient Mesopotamian mythology, EA was the god of heaven and water. The Perverse Sword, as he called it, was the first sword that witnessed the feat of creation in the age of mythology. Its blade was given the task of splitting the chaotic sky and earth in half and giving it a definite form.

If you can't reach that level, you can't resist the power of that sword. This is how Artoria felt at this time, even if it is the power of the holy sword, it is not comparable to this earth-breaking treasure. However, Artoria could not be deterred by this, for behind the king were the people and the country, and those who were guarded behind him could not retreat. Moreover, Artoria knew that she had no possibility of dodging, this sword was no longer a simple battle or city level, it was truly limitless, a real Boundary Treasure.

But even so, Artoria still has to face it, for no reason, just because she is the invincible King Arthur!

"Gather together, O light!"
