Chapter Fifty-Six: The Fortress Rises into the Sky, and the Great War Begins
With the glow of the Great Grail beginning to bloom again.
Everyone knew that the decisive battle was about to begin.
At the top of Mount Abbif, Medea stands in the center of a specially built square surrounded by twelve stone pillars.
"It's finally getting started."
Medea ignored the temple complex below and looked directly at the hanging gardens looming in the sky in the distance.
"Humph! Today, I, Medea, will teach you well, and Assassin will look like Assassin! β
She raised the tin staff in her hand, and a ray of light emanated from the top of the tin staff, flying in the air for a quarter and then to the top of a stone pillar.
After the technique at the top of the stone pillar received the light, in an instant, one magic rune after another began to appear on the stone pillar.
Combined, these runes became a giant spell that rose into the sky, and then fell to shroud Mount Abbif, merging with the other spells that had already been laid out on the mountain.
The main function of this technique is to connect Medea's perception more closely with those techniques, so that she can command them like an arm.
Originally, she could do this, but this time there were too many techniques that needed to be scheduled at once, so she had to arrange this to assist herself.
After confirming that she had incorporated all the techniques into her perception and control, Medea said to the messenger on the side, "This is Medea, I'm ready, you can start there." β
In a hollowed-out underground space at the bottom of Mount Abif, Dongfang Shuoyin was checking the safety of the levitation technique.
After checking the last rune, she also communicated through the technique: "This is Dongfang Shuoyin, after the inspection of the levitation technique, it can be lifted into the air." β
On a platform on Mount Abif, all the fighters of the battle had arrived.
Dongfang Yunfan looked around and confirmed that the personnel were all in order, and said: "This is Dongfang Yunfan, everyone has arrived and can take off." β
After checking the mana delivery pipeline for the last time, Elle in the underworld said, "This is the goddess Ereshkigal, the pipeline has been checked, no problem." β
Dongfang Qiyue, who is like the Great Holy Grail, after receiving everyone's signal, she first glanced back at Dongfang Zijin and confirmed that the girl's system was sleeping.
She then reported to everyone through a radio call: "Everyone's attention. β
Hearing this voice, Dongfang Shuoyin sped up the speed of going to the battle platform, Medea stared at the hanging garden in the distance with great interest, Gilgamesh looked at the temple group in the distance with a strong sense of war, and Hercules silently put away the big bow that Medea gave him.
"The Flying Fortress of Mount Abbif is about to take off, everyone is ready!"
In the living quarters of the underworld, Emiya Shirou wrapped the red corpse cloth around his left arm, and after confirming that it was correct, he walked out of his room and headed to the battle platform
Ever since he got this relic, Emiya Shirou has been training himself to be in tune with it.
And all this for today.
At the same time, Sakura Tosaka, who reached a consensus with the goddess Parvati and obtained her spiritual base, and Illya, who fused with her mother to obtain her spiritual base and the heavenly garment, which symbolized the pseudo-third law, also walked out of her room.
In the imitation of the Great Holy Grail, Dongfang Qiyue canceled her form in the outside world, returned to her own body, and began to maintain the operation of the imitation of the Great Holy Grail wholeheartedly.
"Imitation of the Great Holy Grail magic full power supply begins! Mount Abbif Flying Fortress, take to the skies! β
With a command, a huge amount of magic poured out from the mimic Great Holy Grail, flowing through the transmission pipes to all parts of the fortress, providing ample magic power for the spells there.
In the underground space, the originally dim levitation technique immediately bloomed with a shining light after the magic power was introduced.
At the same time, a powerful force poured out of the spell and began to lift the entire Abbif Mountain.
Feeling the mountain that began to tremble under his feet and gradually rose into the air, Dongfang Yunfan stopped paying attention after glancing at it.
This mountain was too much worse than the main body in his database, the [Ninth Human Institution/Eternal Garden], and it was not enough to attract his attention.
Dongfang Yunfan is not uncommon, but for Artoria and them, this sight of the mountain rising into the sky is enough to be linked to the gods in their time.
And now, this miracle comparable to a miracle is created and reproduced by man, so why don't they be shocked by it!
"Wow~ It's a good job."
Gilgamesh nodded in praise, and despite the unconcealable surprise in his eyes, he kept his demeanor well.
The movement of the Aerial Fortress of Mount Abif rising into the air was naturally difficult to escape the attention of the Demon God Pillar.
"Is that the hole card they've been preparing these days? It's surprising enough. β
At the top of a temple, Arjuna used his clairvoyance to see Mount Abif rising into the sky.
No, even if you don't use clairvoyance, you can know that a mountain rises into the sky, even if you only feel it with the soles of your feet.
It was too difficult to hide such a big movement, so Dongfang Yunfan and they simply didn't hide it, and directly regarded the day of liftoff as the day of the decisive battle.
"Archer, the enemy has already begun to move, go to your position and get ready to attack."
A cold voice came, and Arjuna turned around to see a lifeless Karna standing behind him.
Looking at the blood-red runes on the other party's face and the face full of life, Arjuna glanced at it and then turned his head and said, "I know, I'll go right away." β
"Hurry up, don't let the enemy delay Lord Demon God Pillar's business."
With that, Karna departed.
At this time, Arjuna turned his head to look at Karna's distant back with complicated eyes, his mouth moved, and finally he didn't say anything, and a thousand words just turned into a sigh.
On the platform, after experiencing the initial excitement, everyone gradually calmed down and began to prepare for the upcoming big battle.
Dongfang Yunfan stood at the edge of the platform and looked into the distance.
There, the appearance of the temple group became more and more obvious, and the brilliant splendor in the sky became more and more three-dimensional.
Dongfang Yunfan, who was calculating the next battle with Karna, suddenly sensed something, and he turned his head to look at the entrance of the battle platform.
Not only him, but others also sensed the comer.
At the entrance, the figures of the three of Emiya Shirou and his party appeared.
Shirou Emiya wrapped in the cloth of the remains of the Heroic Spirit, Sakura wearing the goddess Parvati's spiritual robe, and Illya wearing the garment of the sky.
The three of them, without exception, all have a not weak spiritual base reaction.
"Sakura!"
"Shirou!"
"Ahh
Artoria, Medusa, and Hercules looked surprised at the sight of all three of them.
There was not only surprise at the strong spiritual reaction on them, but also blame for their presence here.
"Shirou! Why are you here? Go back quickly, the next situation will be dangerous. I, I can't guarantee your safety. β
"Sakura, since you appear here in this posture, it means that you are ready to come to your senses."
βRiderοΌοΌβ
Artoria looked at Medusa in amazement, not understanding why she hadn't persuaded her master to go back.
"It's obvious, King Arthur."
Medusa turned her head to Artoria and said, "You and I both know very well what kind of people our masters are, and since they have come here, it means that they are ready to come to their senses. β
"But even so......"
βSaberγβ
Emiya Shirou called out to his servant and said, "Don't worry about us, I'm all ready to come, and it's going to be fine." β
"But ......"
"Even if something happens to us," Emiya Shirou paused and said, "Your contract, we have all been transferred to the Great Holy Grail, and we are no longer your Master." β
"But even so, Shirou." Artoria said with a serious face, "Even so, I am still your knight, and I will still be the sword that guards you until this body dies." β
"So, please don't make me so embarrassed, okay? Shirou. β
Artoria's tone was sincere, and she looked at Emiya Shirou with a burning eye, hoping that he would agree.
But Emiya Shirou shook his head and said, "I'm grateful that you're so considerate of me, Saber. But a person can't grow without going through something, right? β
"So...... Yes, that's right. β
"And, Saber. I was determined to have the strength to protect all those I love and those who love me, and I have done a lot of work to do so. β
"And now is the time to put my efforts to the test."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
Artoria was silent, she didn't know how to refute Emiya Shirou and let him go back, let him go back to safety.
Faced with a desire to protect the person she loves, Artoria cannot rebuke him or refute him.
Because isn't that the same way you used to be? In order to protect the country he loves, he drew the sword of the king and became King Arthur.
How similar is the current Emiya Shirou to his past self, although the object to be protected is different, but this heart is the same, and this consciousness is the same.
"Shirou......" Artoria opened her mouth, realizing that she didn't know what to say.
"Don't worry, Lord Arthur."
Dongfang Yunfan didn't know when he walked over and said, "He'll be fine." β
"Your Excellency Yunfan." Artoria looked at him for some reason.
"Well, Shirou, go on."
A golden-blue gem was thrown to Emiya Shirou by Dongfang Yunfan.
"This is ......," Emiya Shirou looked at the gem curiously.
"I made this overnight, and it contains a magic mark of the second law."
"Magic Sign!"
Everyone was taken aback, and hurriedly looked at the gem in Emiya Shirou's hand.
"However, this magic mark is not permanent." Dongfang Yunfan said: "Once launched, it can only last for fifteen minutes at most, and it cannot be interrupted to make difficulties, and it is also a one-time thing. β
"That's right." Hearing this, Emiya Shirou's excitement eased a lot, but he was still very excited.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely use this well."
"Shirou...... "Seeing that Emiya Shirou has arrived here, Artoria can't find any reason to continue to oppose him.
After a long sigh, Artoria could only instruct, "Shirou stay safe. β
"yes, definitely."
At this moment, Dongfang Yunfan's eyes suddenly became very sharp, and a powerful magic reaction erupted from his body.
Everyone was taken aback by him, and they didn't know what was going on.
Dongfang Yunfan rushed to the edge of the platform and violently swung out a silver sword aura.
The sword qi rushed into the air and collided with the crimson fireball, and the explosion produced a violent shock wave and a loud sound.
These are all a signal to everyone present.
The battle began.
