"Tsk! Is there a shortage of manpower? ”

Looking at Achilles, who was entangled with Charon and ignored Joan of Arc's plans, Semiramis couldn't help but bite his nails.

Because of Atalanta's capture, she didn't have many hole cards in her hand at this time.

Although she had previously said that she would not do anything until the other party approached her, it was not her style to let the other party come to the hanging garden like this.

"So what to do?"

Looking at Joan of Arc in the projection in front of him, Semiramis couldn't help but squint his eyes.

And just as she was about to use the 'Black Coffin of Ten and One' to launch an artillery bombardment, an alarm suddenly came from the other side of the courtyard.

The sudden appearance caused Semiramis's pupils to shrink.

I saw that far away from the frontal battlefield, Astolfo with Frankenstein on a Hippogriff was constantly approaching the Hanging Garden.

"Want to sneak in by diverting my gaze?"

"What a stupid choice!"

"But, where did that guy go!"

Semiramis kept scanning their surroundings, looking for the tricky figure that was making them intractable.

But no matter how much she searched, she couldn't find Emiya Shirou and Atalanta.

"Tsk! That guy must have already touched in! ”

"No, he won't be able to hide his form if he comes in!"

"Although I don't know where the other party is yet, it is definitely the right choice to destroy the black rider and the black berserker first!"

Thinking of this, Semiramis mobilized the 'Black Coffin of Ten and One' outside the fortress to aim at Astorfo.

...

"Has it been discovered?"

"In that case, there is no need to hide!"

The Phantom Horse Hippogriff let out a high-pitched hiss that was no less than that of the wind.

Under the control of Astolfo, it continued to advance towards the hanging garden.

"I am Astolford, one of Charlemagne's twelve warriors! Come to fight! ”

In the face of the loud self-report, although it was only a short moment, everyone present was aware of the existence of Astorfo.

Despite being a hero celebrated in legends, he is asserted as a "weak" comical knight.

But there is a real heroism in his self-proclaimed voice.

High up, flying fast.

Born between the famous Warcraft Griffin and the female horse, the Phantom Beast Hippogriff, which could not have existed, did not care about the oncoming wind even at an altitude of 7,500 meters.

Attack the enemy walled city "Vanity Aerial Garden" with a fierce momentum!

However, Semiramis will never allow an invasion by a foreign enemy lightly.

The 'Ten and One Black Coffin' technique has begun to condense its magical power.

It is a huge black coffin based on the eleven beasts born to the legendary monster Tiamat.

This is the highest masterpiece of Semiramis that can eliminate foreign enemies with a super A-rank magic cannon.

Semiramis was calmly observing the roaring Astolfo.

True, Astolfo had no problems at all in momentum.

Being able to get back on my feet after a setback is probably because of his heroic temperament.

"Do you think you can avoid it this time? Stupid guys. You can regret this arrogance before your skull is blown away. ”

Semiramis smiled as the light cannon burst out in an instant.

In Semiramis's mind, in the face of such an attack, Astolfo could not survive.

But things didn't go her way.

In Astolford's hands, a magic book spreads a barrier to keep Semiramis at bay.

"What!"

Faced with this scene, Semiramis couldn't help frowning.

...

"Come on, come on, the time has come! My heart trembles with fear on a moonless night, but I will never take a step back! Liberation - 'Breaking the Declaration'! ”

The pages of the book began to spread out and flutter in the strong wind.

The cannon approached at the speed of sound, but Astolfo completely ignored its presence and continued to rush forward.

Even with A-level magic skills, the opponent-level magic cannon that still knocked Astolfo to the ground was unable to cause the slightest damage to Astolfo this time.

Under the influence of the magic book "Breaking the Declaration", which liberated his real name, all magic can only be broken and disappeared meaninglessly.

This is Astolford's Noble Broken Declaration.

As a resident type of Noble Phantasm, even if it is not activated, it has A-rank magic power just by holding it in your hand.

Once activated, even an inherent enchantment or its equivalent can nullify it.

"Ahhh It feels so cool! Little Fran, you're holding on to it! I'm going to speed it up a little more! ”

"Oh!"

"The target is that huge black battery! Without that, the Rulers and the others will be able to reach the garden! ”

"Oh!"

At Frankenstein's urging, Astolfo rushed towards the surrounding batteries.

...

"I see, that means there are still secret tricks?"

The astonishment and passion were only a brief moment.

Semiramis has regained his cool thoughts.

Even so, she kept tapping her elbow with her fingers as if she were feeling impatient.

"However, no matter how strong it is, it's just a fortified defense against magic."

Semiramis knew that there were some defensive Noble Phantasms that could unfold enchantments.

The legendary shield, or the case of turning the flesh itself into a defensive treasure, as Achilles did.

However, Astolfo does not have such a legend.

Accounts of the shield do not exist to the best of their knowledge, and their flesh is not mentioned much in lore, let alone the fact that he is rated as weak.

So, what exactly are those pieces of paper?

It seems that it must be the magic book that Queen Rojestila gave to Astolford, Semiramis made this estimate.

She remembered that the book had a legend that could break all magic.

As for why it wasn't used last time?

"Is it the liberation of the real name?"

I'm afraid he didn't liberate his real name last time.

Either it can't be liberated, or it's not liberated.

Either way, magic is meaningless to Astolfo now.

"Then, I'll come up with a secret trick as soon as possible."

Semiramis smiled brightly and began to transmit the words:

"Lancer, someone's approaching here, shoot them down."

"Understood."

With a flat response, the strongest blade came out.

If even that Karna's attack doesn't work, then whatever you do will be in vain.

Semiramis, however, was convinced that that would never happen.

"It's too arrogant to think that I broke my magic, but if I can see you broken to pieces, I will forgive you."

It was the only thing she was uncomfortable with.

Despite this, if you can see the moment they fall, the depression in your heart should dissipate a little.

So, as a last resort, Karna came into battle.

Karna, the great hero who is sung in India's oldest narrative poem, Mahabharata, is undoubtedly the strongest man on a par with Achilles the Red Rider.
