Chapter 8: First Contact

"Ah, big brother seems to know a lot about Berserker, can you tell me why?"

Irina smiled sweetly, if you are an uninformed person, you will really be confused by this smile. But in Zhou Xiaoning's vision, the magic in Irina's body is called a turbulent wave, this is not a good way to talk about it.

"Hehe, big brother, I know a lot of things, for example, how to solve the hidden dangers in your body, do you want to hear about it?"

Zhou Xiaoning also looked kind, but secretly mobilized the source force, once Irina moved, he would also launch a counterattack mercilessly.

"Big brother, you really don't understand anything, for me, to complete this Holy Grail War and win the Holy Grail for the Einz Beilun family, this is all the meaning of my existence."

Irina's smile became a little sickly, and it seems that the Einz Beilun family, in order to prevent the recurrence of Alice Phil's out-of-control situation, instilled in her the consciousness that she thought that she was a tool to live to win the Holy Grail, even if it was to pay with her life.

"Damn, what the hell are those guys in Einzberen trying to do!"

Artoria's face was full of resentment, she had stayed in the territory of the Einzberen family for a few days, and she knew no less about the Einzberen family than Zhou Xiaoning, since Zhou Xiaoning could guess the cause and effect, she naturally had no reason not to guess. What the Einzberren family did was contrary to the chivalric way she had always followed, and if she could, she really wanted to kill it and wipe out the family that had fallen into evil ways.

"It seems that normal communication doesn't make sense."

Zhou Xiaoning sighed helplessly, although he was not Lolita, but if he really wanted to make a move on Irina, he really couldn't do it.

"Lia, just keep an eye on Irina later, and leave that big guy alone."

Zhou Xiaoning stretched out his right hand and pulled out the Chengtian Sword from the king's treasure, and a fierce momentum suddenly inspired him.

Hercules felt danger from Zhou Xiaoning, under the influence of the characteristics of the job [madness], he didn't know what caution was, so his first reaction when he felt the danger was to wipe out the source of the danger.

"Dang!"

The Heavenly Sword collided with Hercules' axe, and the escaping energy turned into a small storm that swept around.

Hercules is Hercules, that strength is not covered, and Zhou Xiaoning also used sixty percent of his strength to be able to withstand it. Zhou Xiaoning didn't use all his strength, looking at Hercules's appearance, it was obviously the same.

After a round of fighting, both of them knew that with the confrontation in strength alone, it seemed that no one could take advantage, so they immediately exerted their strengths and retreated.

followed by a series of "clanging" swords and axes colliding, and it turned out that the two saw that they couldn't suppress each other in terms of strength, so they began to compete in martial arts.

Needless to say, Zhou Xiaoning's martial arts, after Luo Cuilian's training, all his combat skills have been integrated, and no one will question whether he is a grandmaster in terms of martial arts. And Hercules, as an excellent demigod warrior, has excellent heart, skills, and body, and every move and style has been tempered thousands of times, and it is natural, without a trace of flaws.

The two of them can be said to be chess opponents, if they continue to fight like this, wait until six o'clock in the morning, and the mirror enchantment is broken, I am afraid it will still be difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.

If it was a matchup, Zhou Xiaoning didn't mind accompanying him to fight until the winner was decided. But now it's a life-and-death war, and how to win is the key.

With a movement in his heart, Zhou Xiaoning instantly appeared behind Hercules, and his sword fell, instantly piercing the back of his heart. Even though Hercules had a steely skin, he was nothing in front of the Heavenly Sword, and the [Characteristics Yang] of the plus ten was not pretty.

Even if Hercules was a demigod, a wound piercing the heart would be fatal. Hercules' movements froze, and his huge body fell to the ground with a "bang", and after a moment it was silent.

However, this is not the end of the story, as usually, when the Immortal dies, the consciousness returns to Valhalla, and the magic that makes up the body goes to the Holy Grail, but Hercules does not.

The Twelve Trials were working, and Hercules' wounds were healing at a rate visible to the naked eye, at which rate, at the latest, he would be resurrected in no more than ten seconds, and he would be immune to the fatal wound of his heart penetrating.

"Big brother is really powerful, he killed Berserker once so quickly, but Berserker is very strong, so he won't die like this."

"Stand up, Berserker!"

Unbelievable, Irina had used a spell at this time.

The purpose of the spell is to force the Heroic Spirit to obey a certain command, or to strengthen the Heroic Spirit to a certain extent.

[Twelve Trials] could have resurrected Hercules, but now with the power of the spell, it originally took ten seconds to resurrect, but now it was completed in an instant, and Hercules was strengthened to a certain extent, making it temporarily step into the seventh order. Even if he is only a beginner in the seventh order, for Hercules, his strength is an explosive increase.

"This girl is really not ordinary willful."

Zhou Xiaoning shook his head speechlessly, the other masters who didn't use the spell as the last hole card would never use it lightly unless it was absolutely necessary. But Irina used one up like a child, and if it were known to the magicians who wanted to become masters but didn't become them, they would be mad.

"Roar!"

The resurrected Hercules let out a roar, although he has no reason, but it is irrational to hold grudges, even if it is a beast, whoever hurts it, it will take revenge.

"Tsk, what a tenacious big guy."

Zhou Xiaoning pursed his lips, and with a teleport, he dodged Hercules' surprise attack. It can be said that fighting with this kind of pure warrior-type opponent, Zhou Xiaoning, who has spatial ability, is invincible in his own right.

"In that case, I'll let you try this again."

Zhou Xiaoning displayed the Ten Thousand Sword Technique, and for a time the Chengtian Sword was divided into hundreds, and the flying swords in the sky instantly beat Hercules into a sieve.

“berserker!”

In the first death, Irina could comfort herself with Hercules' carelessness, but this time, Hercules died again, and there was no body. To resurrect in such a situation, the mana consumed will be three times that of a normal resurrection. This is equivalent to Hercules dying three times.

In just a few minutes after the battle began, Hercules had lost four lives, which was already one-third of the [Twelve Trials].

Irina finally began to be afraid, she was willing to go for herself Hercules to defeat all her opponents and win the final victory, but the reality gave her a resounding slap in the face, making her know how naïve her original idea was.

"Berserker, hurry up, I can't lose you!"

Irina was already crying, and her tearful eyes were very pitiful, compared to her previous sick appearance, it was like two people.

In fact, for Irina, Hercules is not just a Heroic Spirit she summons. It can be said that Hercules is the first to truly belong to her, and this feeling is like the first toy she received when she was a child, and it will always have a special meaning. Before that, it was delusional for Irina to even want to have a doll of her own, after all, tools don't need that kind of thing.

Due to Irina's strong desire, another spell disappeared and turned into a majestic magic force that acted on Hercules's body. In the next second, Hercules, who was already no longer in human form, instantly recovered, and his momentum climbed by a point, reaching a level that was infinitely close to the middle of the seventh order.

What's more, after this death, Hercules's body defense has been greatly improved, and the edge of the Cleansing Chengtian Sword can easily pierce his heart before, but now, it can reach the sky by an inch of flesh.

"Hiss~, this kind of strength is too exaggerated, let this kind of heroic spirit descend is simply to destroy the balance of the Holy Grail War."

Zhou Xiaoning secretly said to himself, don't look at him taking away Hercules' four lives in three or two clicks, but that's because his absolute strength is above Hercules, if he is replaced by other heroic spirits, even if Artoria himself goes up, I am afraid that he will be defeated in the end. Because when Artoria kills him a few times, she will suddenly find that the Sword of Oath Victory can't hurt him, and how can Artoria win in such a situation?

But then again, cheating and cheating seem to be a long-standing tradition of the Holy Grail War, and there don't seem to be many that can go on normally and follow the rules.

"What if I'm resurrected, it's a big deal to kill you a few more times."

Zhou Xiaoning didn't wait for Hercules to stand up again, and then he unleashed the true technique of the Divine Sword and Thunder.

"The Nine Heavens have turned into divine thunder. Huanghuang Tianwei, lead it with a sword. ”

"Boom!"

As soon as Zhou Xiaoning finished reciting the mantra, a Nine Heavens Divine Thunder was led down by the Chengtian Sword, and it slammed directly into Hercules, taking another of his lives.

At this time, Irina was already stupid, she never thought that Hercules would be so vulnerable in front of Zhou Xiaoning, and for a while, fear spread in her heart.

Irina didn't dare to stay and face Zhou Xiaoning anymore, as soon as Hercules was resurrected, she asked Hercules to take her and quickly withdraw.

Vaguely, Zhou Xiaoning seemed to hear Irina sobbing, and it seemed that she was really frightened.

"Ahh

Zhou Xiaoning scratched his head a little distressed, if he really chased after him, wouldn't he be suspected of abusing Lori, if the majority of Lolita knew about it, he would not drown him with a mouthful of spittle.
