Chapter Ninety-Three: The Seven Rings Covering the Blazing Heavens
Shelling across floors, which is the characteristic of floors 52 to 58.
Ignores floor attacks.
In the past, the Zeus clan at the apex of the Labyrinth City of Ulari in King's Landing, as the farthest level of the record to date, once named these floors: Dragon's Pot!
At the bottom of the pot, which is the fifty-eighth floor, there is the Valgan Dragon, which is known as the Cannon Dragon.
It was a large red dragon standing on two feet and a huge body that was more than ten meters long.
Feeling the feeling of falling from all over her body, Refia only felt as if she was coming from not a dungeon, but a hell.
"Refia!"
With a roar of rage, Shirou Emiya, who stepped on the flying sword and kept manipulating the equipment under his feet by consuming spiritual power, was coming quickly.
"Brother!"
Looking at the rapidly approaching red figure, a glimmer of hope appeared in Refia's eyes, which were originally full of despair.
Accelerated by gravity and the magic of the equipment underneath his feet, Emiya Shirou soon caught up with the fallen Refia.
Holding Refia's body in his arms, Emiya Shirou kept slowing down while manipulating the equipment under his feet through magic power, and asked anxiously on the other side, "It's okay, Refia!" ”
"Well, I'm fine!"
"It's okay!"
Hearing that Refia didn't have an accident, Emiya Shirou's originally nervous mood calmed down.
"Stupid, I'm not here to talk to you right now, pay attention to the following!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Refia, who was held in the arms of Shirou Emiya, looked up, and then saw Bert, Tiona and Tiogne, who were stepping on the wall of the straight passage, and kept galloping down.
"Everyone!"
Looking at her companions who had rushed to her rescue, Refia's eyes were filled with mist.
"Don't pull my back, stupid!"
Even when saving people, there is no mercy in his mouth.
Hearing the familiar scolding, Refia replied with a smile, "Yes, Mr. Bert! ”
"—[Tulle Breath] !!"
Just as everyone kept falling, on the ground of the fifty-second floor, Riveria's magic was complete.
The warm green light robes wrapped around Emiya Shirou and the others who were falling.
This is Riveria's protective magic, able to resist all enemy attacks.
At the same time, as early as when Refia fell from the straight passage, the dragons on the fifty-eighth floor spotted her.
In the face of falling enemies, they mercilessly spew out their own breath.
A huge fire bombardment flew from below, hitting Emiya Shirou and the others.
"Don't underestimate me!"
Looking at the flame bombardment coming towards him and the others, Emiya Shirou stretched out his right hand and aimed his palm at the rapid artillery bombardment.
"Seven Rings Covering the Blazing Sky"
The magic in the body is passing quickly, and the magic of the projection is constantly running.
I saw a huge pink petal blooming in front of everyone, shaped like a petal, there were seven pieces in total, each of which was enough to rival the ancient city wall. This is Emiya Shirou's strongest defensive treasure.
A huge flame breath slammed into the Seven Rings that covered the Blazing Sky, powerless after only four layers of explosion.
But Emiya Shirou, who had clairvoyance, could see very clearly, and below, there were two other flame breaths that followed.
"Bert, Diona, Tyogne, we're going straight to the fifty-eighth floor!"
"That's the only way, if we casually enter other floors, we'll be in danger if we're not fully staffed."
"Then rush!"
Two more fires were fired head-on, and the outermost two layers of the remaining three layers covering the Seven Circles of the Blazing Sky were quickly destroyed, leaving only the last one.
But the last layer was extremely strong, and even after a third shell, it still did not break.
Although the last layer was full of cracks, Emiya Shirou knew that it could hold up a little longer.
After all, the allusion to the Seven Rings of Blazing Sky comes from the Trojan War in Greek mythology, when Ajax used a bronze shield covered in seven layers of cowhide to block Hector's throwing spear (through six layers, and one layer was left unpassed).
After that, its scope was expanded to become a "conceptual armament" that boasted absolute defense against throwing weapons, and its existence was sublimated.
As a result, the last layer covering the Seven Rings of Blazing Sky is extremely hard and has exceptionally high defense.
But Emiya Shirou didn't continue to hold on to it, after all, it wasn't his style to just be beaten and not fight back.
"Refia, put your arms around my neck and secure your position."
"Yes!"
Refia, who knew that Emiya Shirou wanted to fight back, blushed and put her arms around Emiya Shirou's neck, her legs wrapped around his waist.
"Good!"
After freeing his other hand, Emiya Shirou projected his black longbow.
and the magic sword that represents his highest level today.
Placing the arrow-shaped magic sword on the black longbow, Emiya Shirou aimed at the big red dragons on the fifty-eighth floor with his clairvoyance.
"I've been spewing fire breath for so long, I guess you're all very cool, so let you taste my flame!"
"Admire the blacksmith's masterpiece, Ultra Fantasy Honkai!"
Emiya Shirou, who had drawn his longbow into a full moon, gently let go of his fingers, and the next moment, a crimson arrow cut through the passage, and he instantly came to the ground where the fifty-eighth floor was located.
A loud bang followed, and a mushroom cloud rose up.
The tragic state of the fifty-eighth floor was unknown, but the five people who were directly above the explosion were blown down to the extreme slower.
The violent storm swept through for more than ten seconds before it slowly subsided.
But they were not really safe, and were attracted by their movements, and the monsters and evil winged dragons on the fifty-sixth floor also attacked one after another.
This is an evil pterosaur with a body and tail that is three meters long.
Nesting on the fifty-sixth floor, they can attack adventurers across the floor through the large void created by the cannon dragon.
"Die, bastard!"
As soon as Diona, armed with a great sword, encounters the evil pterodactyl, she wields it and slashes it.
Bert, who followed him, also jumped onto an evil pterodactyl and pierced its head through it with two swords.
Then kick it to the side of the evil pterodactyl that is about to spray a flame bullet.
At the same time, Thionne is not far behind.
She manipulated her body, leaping back and forth over walls and monsters, and then brandished her axe and spear, slashing the evil pterodactyls.
As for Emiya Shirou, because of the manipulation of the equipment under his feet, his position has fallen behind the three of them.
But for him with a bow and arrow, this position was just right.
Keep shooting arrows, accompanied by the sound of breaking wind, one by one the evil winged dragons are constantly being destroyed.
After the big red dragon on the fifty-eighth floor was destroyed by Emiya Shirou's Super Fantasy Collapse, everyone's pressure was relieved at once.
...
Fifty-second floor.
"Ace, don't go!"
After the three Berts followed Emiya Shirou into the straight passage, Ace, who wanted to follow them, was stopped by Finn.
"If we all go down the straight lane, it's hard to make sure that all the supporters will land safely. Therefore, we are going to take the normal route. In this case, your combat power is indispensable. ”
With the bonus of the Vengeful Princess and the Wind Spirit Rush, Ace is almost invincible in output when facing monsters.
What's more, she can also exert great power against the new species.
Therefore, her presence is extremely important to the people who follow the regular route.
"Grace, you go down the straight passage and support Shirou and them!"
"Leave it to the old man!"
At this point, the expedition team of the Loki clan split into two and broke through to the fifty-eighth floor.
