Chapter 48—The Light That Shines on the World (5)
It was a perfect blend of grace and sharpness in the sword dance.
The girl holding the double sword slashed through the golden sword shadow in the air, and under the power of the double holy sword, the endless tentacles of the sea demon were constantly divided and smashed. Relying on her extreme speed and great strength, Artoria's fierce attack made it impossible for the Sea Devils to advance.
Lancer had withdrawn from the battle early, and it was difficult for him to make a difference in the battle at this point, so it was more practical to stay on the sidelines than to add chaos to the field. In the face of this feeling of powerlessness, the proud spearmen were helpless even if they were unwilling.
In the sky, the rider driving the Kamui chariot is constantly attacking with lightning and thunder. Unlike Lancer's outstanding individual combat ability, the King of Conquest, possessing a military-level Noble Phantasm, was able to give Artoria a little help, albeit slightly.
It can be said that Artoria almost single-handedly resisted the attack of the giant monster. He didn't use any treasures.,Just rely on your amazing attributes to engage in unequal physical combat with the sea demons.。
"Puff-"
It's just a tentacle that was just slashed a second ago, but it immediately regenerates in the next moment. This terrifying immortality surprised Artoria a little, but she didn't expect that Caliburn, who had the blessing of demon breaking, would not be able to prevent this cheating regeneration. Artoria knew that the source of all this was the Demon Dao Book that was at the same level as her own holy sword, and as long as the root that supported the Sea Devil's existence in this world was not destroyed, then this disgusting thing would never disappear.
"Saber, go on like this... Ahh
The rider, who wanted to come down and discuss countermeasures with Artoria, was temporarily slackened and was tightly wrapped by the uninterrupted tentacles and could not get out.
"Whoa-"
Seeing that the rider was in danger, Artoria slashed out the frenzied wind blade with a sword, and the tentacles instantly disintegrated into several sections.
"Ah, thanks, Saber!"
After escaping, the king of conquest did not continue to do useless work, but after signaling Artoria with his eyes, he quickly flew towards the shore. Knowing the rider's consultative eyes, Artoria hesitated a little and retreated.
It's not difficult to deal with this sea devil, at least Artoria has three means to ensure a one-hit kill. The reason why Artoria has been delayed so far is that she has no intention of exploring the reality of other servants, after all, this caster crusade was stopped by the church calling on all masters to fight together. Artoria wanted to see how many servants would have to reveal their hole cards with the power of this sea devil.
Artoria is confident that she is the strongest, but she will not underestimate the strength of her opponent because of this. Being able to become a Heroic Spirit will definitely have its own uniqueness, not to mention that this time it is almost all the most famous heroes and kings in history. Besides, the Holy Grail War is coming to an end, but there are still servants who have not revealed their hole cards, which has to make the always cautious Artoria decide to make a small calculation.
However, the result is a bit unsatisfactory, Lancer and Rider should have been fully strengthened, and from the perspective of justice, it is impossible for them not to attack the sea devil who will bring great disasters to the world. She had expected this, but Artoria's most wanted to figure out Archer and Berserker were nowhere to be found.
Artoria believed that they could not be absent from such a feast, so she kept dragging the battle and waiting. But just now she knew that she didn't have to wait, and with Superman's perception, she already knew that those two idiots had taken the lead in fighting.
What two fools......
"There's nothing we can do about this monster now!"
As soon as Artoria stepped ashore, the rider who arrived first couldn't wait to analyze the current situation, and finally came up with only a helpless sentence.
"If it really doesn't work, this king can only open the enchantment again, but it's hard to say how long it can be delayed."
The famous Conquest King is not as calm and relaxed as usual this time, but as the caller (self-opinion) this time, Rider has a strong sense of responsibility. He did not delay, and single-handedly expressed his willingness to use all his strength to block the Sea Devil's advance.
This is a very simple but admirable idea, and Rider embodies all the advantages of an ideal leader, and it is no wonder that so many people are willing to work hard for him. Artoria is very different in this respect, she is presented to the world in a sacred posture. There is nothing wrong with it, this is a perfect king, in the words of Agulang, 'O king, who does not understand human feelings'. Yes, Artoria is not like a human being, because there is no perfect person. Perfect things can be chased and worshiped madly, but the opposite of untouchable things can also create a sense of distance.
"Totally unnecessary!"
Rejecting the actions of the King of Conquest, Artoria, who had lost interest in the battle, no longer faltered, and decided to settle the battle with a thunderous blow.
"What do you mean, Saber?"
In response to Artoria's denial, the King of Conquest frowned slightly.
"Because Saber has a city-level treasure!"
Alice Phil on the side happily explained, as if the peerless holy sword was her own. However, this is also the reason why the woman is different from the worried Weber, who knows the power of the holy sword in Artoria's hand, so she has never been worried about this war.
"Yes, the city level..."
Touching his chin, Rider didn't know what he was thinking. Suddenly, a belligerent spark burst into his eyes, as if the defeat against the Sea Devil had not affected his mood in the slightest.
"That's fun, I'm looking forward to fighting you, Saber!"
The heroic declaration of war, but without making people feel a little bigger, this is the confident king of conquest. And the lancer on the side also echoed the rider's words with a cold look, as a knight, he naturally hoped to be able to fight with the knight king who stood at the top of all knights.
"So, do you want to attack from the shore?"
While everyone was talking, the sea devils had already made a lot of progress. Within this range, if Artoria unleashed the Noble Phantasm, the aftermath of the power of the blow to the city would be fatal to the residents who gradually gathered to watch the excitement.
"I'm afraid everyone on the riverbank will be reduced to ashes..."
Rider states the benefits and disadvantages, and at the same time thinks about how to solve the problem.
"yes, that's it..."
Quietly looking at the sea devils who were gradually approaching, Artoria only faintly responded to rider's worries.
"Isn't it the right choice to be able to destroy the sea demons just by sacrificing these people and thus avoid an even greater catastrophe?"
"Huh!?"
It was Lancer and Rider who exclaimed, because the king in front of him was marked with sacredness in history, and such a statement was really incredible. Although there is a saying that "one will make ten thousand bones dry", the great exploits of the heroes of the past dynasties are all based on the accumulation of white bones. But that is to limit the hostile to the enemy, to the blood of the enemy or to the blood of all, which is the way to distinguish between the nature of good and evil in morality.
"Cut, it's just to tease you, what a boring man..."
With a disdainful chuckle, Artoria ignored the expressions of the crowd and rushed towards the Sea Devils.
"Wind King's Blade!"
Wrapped around the holy sword, the furious wind bestowed by the Wind Elf King roared towards the Sea Devil with a sharp blade and a thousand powers at Artoria's call. In an instant, the tentacles that had been waving and raging in mid-air were cut down into the river. The tyrannical winds didn't stop there, they slammed straight at the sea demon body after breaking through the tentacles. I saw that between the lightning and thunder, thousands of scars were torn apart from the sea devil's body.
"Roar~~"
Enraged by his success, the Sea Devil stopped his progress and walked towards Artoria instead. But this happened to Artoria, and her light steps on the surface of the water gradually led the angry sea devil to the heart of the river. Blessed by the elves to never be bothered by water, Artoria is on the surface of the river.
"I'm sorry to waste so much of your time..."
Upon reaching the center of the river, Artoria stopped and waited for the sea devils to approach behind her. Looking at the approaching sea devils, Artoria made a rare curtsy, but the irony was full.
"I'm sorry, but if you don't have any use value, please come back, Mr. Sea Devil!"
Softly chanting the secret words of the elves, Artoria slowly rose into the night sky of Fuyuki City with a gentle breeze. The tentacles that stretched out did not stop in the slightest, because beyond the soft wind was a raging blade that could shatter everything.
With the output of a large amount of magic power, the light on the golden holy sword became more and more dazzling, and the glorious sword body seemed to be promised a victory oath to illuminate the surrounding darkness. It is like seeing a ray of light in a long dark night, and this light can sweep away the anxiety and anxiety that has lingered in the heart.
In the time of King Arthur, which belonged only to legends, this sword encapsulated the ideals of all knights.
This is the crystallization of all the crystallization in the hearts of people who have lost their infinite brilliance in the infinite light, despite being in the bloody battlefield and in the endless hell full of horror and despair full of death.
"That's King Arthur's"
Seeing this noble treasure with his own eyes, Webb was stunned with amazement.
It was as if I had seen a ray of light in the long dark night, and the anxiety and anxiety that had been entrenched in my heart were swept away by this light.
Yes, that's the ideal of a knight.
“Saber......”
Alice Field's voice trembled slightly with joy, and she whispered selflessly.
