In order to ensure the smooth completion of Zhou Xiaoning's extraction, Emiya Kiritsugu really went all out, opening all the magic traps in the castle and the nearby forest, and even the enchantment that wrapped the entire forest was strengthened from the initial warning effect to a defensive enchantment that forbade anyone to approach. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

This is a big move, ordinary magicians can't afford to play at all, and they can't pay for that huge amount of magic alone, that is, the Einzberen family has a lot of money, so that Emiya Kiritsugu can squander it so much. It's just that I just don't know how the Einzberen family will feel when they learn that Emiya Kiritsugu paid such a big price to take out the "Little Holy Grail" from Alice Phil's body.

And not long after Emiya Kiritsugu strengthened the enchantment, an uninvited guest happened to feel it.

"Zi ~ touch!"

Gilles looked at his spread hand, and his palm was a little red, that is, the force he used before was not very strong, otherwise the rebound of the enchantment would not be so weak.

"Enchantment......"

Gilles's body began to tremble, his expression became extremely hideous, in his opinion, this is someone who is preventing him from saving "Joan of Arc", so those people are enemies!

"My beautiful Holy Virgin, you wait patiently, no amount of obstacles can stop me from saving your soul!"

Gilles yelled frantically, and suddenly, he looked at a little boy beside him.

In fact, strictly speaking, Giles is not even a magician, and the reason why he can serve as Caster's position is all because of his Noble Phantasm Oblivion City Textbook.

The Oblivion City Textbook is a magic book bound in human skin, capable of summoning and entrusting monsters in the depths of the sea. So Gilles is more of a summoner than a magician.

It's just that the Oblivion City Sect summons all monsters, which are said to be related to the Crusu mythological system. This monster must be sacrificed in order to be successfully summoned, and the more powerful the target, the more sacrifices must be sacrificed. And the sacrifice chosen by Giles was the dozen or so seven or eight-year-old children he was carrying.

Those children are the missing children mentioned in recent news reports, and because of their bad nature, the police have also intervened in the investigation. It's just that the culprits in this case are Gilles, and Ryunosuke Yusheng, who was given magic props by Gilles, how can they be caught by the police's conventional case-handling methods.

In fact, Zhou Xiaoning has also been using the power of the Tong family to look for Gilles and Yusheng Ryunosuke, but these two guys are too good at hiding, and they have found their hiding place several times, but when Zhou Xiaoning looked for it, it was already empty, leaving a lot of monsters summoned by Gilles. In order to prevent these monsters from escaping and endangering ordinary people, Zhou Xiaoning had to spend more time destroying them.

However, in this way, Zhou Xiaoning also lost the best opportunity to track, and let Gilles and Yusheng Ryunosuke again and again

And now, Giles has brought these children here, naturally it is impossible for them to come for sightseeing. These children had already been planted by Gilles with a summoning spell and became a preparatory sacrifice, and as long as he activated the summoning spell, he could summon monsters.

Gilles is also doing this at the moment, in the face of the defense of the Einzberen family, he has no way to crack it, and if he wants to enter, he can only attack.

A dozen children wailed as Gilles invoked the magic, and their backs began to bulge as if something was about to burst out of there.

"That's right, that's it, my servants, pierce the barrier in front of me, and let me go to meet the Holy Virgin!"

With Gilles' wild laughter, more than a dozen monsters like tentacle monsters began to attack the barrier.

These monsters have a strong recovery ability, and even if their tentacles are destroyed by the rebound power of the barrier, they will quickly recover and continue to attack the barrier.

Soon, the defensive barrier collapsed because the mana resupply rate couldn't keep up with the consumption rate.

At the same time, Emiya Kiritsugu, who is the controller of the barrier, also learns that someone has invaded.

Emiya Kiritsugu hurriedly opened his laptop and checked the surveillance everywhere, and soon he found the intruder.

"Caster, it's ...... at this time," Emiya Kiritsugu said through gritted teeth.

He looked back at Zhou Xiaoning, the extraction was going well, but it seemed that it would take some time to extract the "Little Holy Grail", and before that, he had to make sure that no one would disturb him.

"Saber, go stop Caster."

Emiya Kiritsugu gave the order, but even if he didn't say it, Artoria would do it. Through the monitoring and replay, Artoria has learned of Gilles's evil deeds, and Artoria is eager to kill a demon like him.

Infuriated in her heart, Artoria approached Caster as fast as she could, at this time she had recovered to her full strength, and her left hand was not injured, so when facing the monster block, her attack was even more fierce, and no monster was her enemy.

It's just that the regenerative ability of monsters is so strong that even if they are cut into several pieces, they can quickly recover through their stumps. What's even more tricky is that as Artoria cuts off more and more stumps, the number of monsters is also increasing exponentially, and it is impossible to completely kill them unless they can be killed entirely.

Artoria also noticed this, and just as she was considering whether to release a wave of oath cannons to take these monsters away with Caster in a wave,

A phantom of a painting halberd more than ten meters long fell from the sky, instantly emptying the monster behind Artoria.

"That's a ......"

Artoria recognized that kind of attack at a glance, and there should be no second person other than Lu Bu who could unleash such a domineering attack.

"My lord asked me to help you."

Lu Bu walked slowly with Fang Tian's halberd in his hand, all the monsters that stood in his way were easily eliminated by him, and the monsters that died in his injuries were not regenerated.

"You, how did you do that?"

Artoria looked at Lu Bu in surprise, she didn't see any difference between Lu Bu's attacks and him, they were all just simple physical slashes, but why could Lu Bu completely destroy the monster, but she couldn't?

"This one is for you, just stick it on your sword."

Lu Bu threw a talisman to Artoria, it was the evil breaking talisman drawn by Zhou Xiaoning, which was specially designed to restrain hoodoos, and Zhou Xiaoning also infused a lot of light attribute energy to strengthen the purification ability, for the surrounding monsters, this small talisman is a nemesis-like existence.

It's just that the power of the talisman is limited after all, and it can only be blessed with the power of destroying evil and purifying for five minutes at most, beyond which the power of the talisman will be invalid.

But for Lu Bu and Artoria, five minutes was enough.

Artoria did not hesitate to attach the talisman to the Sword of Victory, and the talisman spontaneously combusted and quickly burned out, but Artoria could feel a majestic force attached to the sword.

Artoria tried to slay a monster that lunged at her, but sure enough, the monster died completely and did not regenerate.

Seeing this scene, Artoria couldn't help but smile, as long as there is a way to deal with monsters, no matter how many there are, it will not be a problem.

"Do you want to kill more than anyone?" Lu Bu looked at the hundreds of monsters around him, and smiled contemptuously.

"Is this an invitation to war? Well, I accepted. ”

Artoria also didn't pay attention to those monsters, and now she can easily destroy all the monsters even if she doesn't have Lu Bu. But since Lu Bu wants to compare, then it is better to compare, and the knight is never afraid to meet the challenge.

No one shouted to start, but Lu Bu and Artoria attacked at the same time, one to the left and the other to the right, killing the monsters quickly, and their ultimate goal was Gilles.

Seeing that his monsters were getting fewer and fewer, and the new ones could not be summoned on a large scale due to the lack of sacrifices, Giles finally panicked.

"Abominable abominable abominable, it shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this!"

Giles grabbed his hair frantically and pulled it off a lot, just looking at it made people feel pain for him.

Finally, when Lu Bu and Artoria were about to kill in front of them, Gilles finally calmed down a little.

"It seems that the good things I prepared this time are not enough, Joan of Arc, you wait patiently, next time, next time I will definitely be able to save you!"

Giles summoned his magic and prepared to retreat.

"Hmph, if you want to leave, you haven't asked me if I agree!"

Lu Bu put away Fang Tian's painting halberd, and instead took out the dragon tongue bow, only to see him pull the bowstring, and a red and blue energy arrow was automatically generated, which was an ice rocket that was synthesized by mobilizing the power of [Pure Flame Arrow] and [Ice Frozen Arrow] at the same time, and the power was equivalent to the full force of a fourth-order powerhouse.

"Whew~boom!"

As Lu Bu let go of his finger, the ice rocket flew out, instantly spanning a distance of five or six meters, and exploded at the same time that Gilles summoned a thick blood mist.

When the blood mist dissipated, Lu Bu and Artoria stepped forward to check, only to see that only a severed arm and a pool of blood had been left where Gilles had stood, but Gilles was gone.

"Hmph, it's pretty fast."

Lu Bu snorted coldly, Gilles was an ant in his eyes, although that arrow was not his full strength, but watching Gilles run away like this, his heart was still quite unhappy.

"Forget it, let's kill him again next time, it's more important to protect Alice now."

Artoria turned and walked towards the castle, Gilles deserved to be killed, but protecting Alice Fell was equally important, if someone sneaked into the castle while she was chasing Gilles, it might not be possible to stop it by Emiya Kiritsugu alone.

Lu Bu also didn't chase after him, after all, his duty was to protect Zhou Xiaoning, and this was the time when Zhou Xiaoning's defense was the lowest, if it wasn't for Zhou Xiaoning's order, he wouldn't have come to deal with Gilles, but stayed by Zhou Xiaoning's side every step to ensure his safety. Now that Gilles has fled, and Lu Bu has completed Zhou Xiaoning's order, it is time to go back and continue to protect him.

At the same time, Zhou Xiaoning's extraction has also reached a critical moment, and most of the "Little Holy Grail" has been extracted, and the core is missing.
