Over Tosaka House.

The golden fireball, as dazzling as the sun, hung in the air, and the terrifying heat wave continued to erode in all directions, and the surrounding wooden buildings had already spontaneously combusted, and even the reinforced concrete buildings showed signs of melting.

In the center of the golden sun, Karna took a throwing pose, and the flames around him continued to converge on the spear in his hand, which was completely energized by the Immortal Blade, and could be fired in just a few seconds.

At this moment, a vague figure suddenly pulled out of the ground, and the surrounding magma that was enough to melt gold and iron had no effect on her body at all.

The high-temperature flames flowing inside the magma could not cause her the slightest damage, and her body had been exposed to the golden flame of the sun, but it could not burn the white skin.

The moment it left the lava, the figure quickly stepped forward, and disappeared in place.

Boom!

With a clear sound of flesh blowing, a footprint was placed on Karna's face.

At this moment, even Karna, a big hero from India, was a little involuntarily stunned.

The opponent's movement speed is too fast, and it is a dimensional leap that compulsively uses his own skills to achieve unparalleled mobility, completely ignoring the middle distance, and jumping directly into his face.

And among the enemies who fought with Karna before, there was also one who showed such a skill, but because of the difference in his physical attributes, even if he made a dimensional leap, it didn't work, and Karna was still able to react.

But the person who attacked him was different, his physical fitness was very different from the previous female servant, and there was no precursor at all when he moved.

Under normal circumstances, Karna might have reacted, but at the moment he was liberating his Noble Phantasm, so it was inevitable that he would be a little sluggish.

Anyway, although the strength of this kick was strong enough, the reduction of the golden armor did not affect the overall situation much, but the whistling sound that followed from behind let Karna know that the figure in front of him was only a prelude to attracting attention, but by the time he realized it, it was already a little too late.

The emancipation of the Noble Phantasm has come to an end, and it only takes less than a second to throw it, but a second is too long for a battle at this speed.

Bang Bang Bang Bang ......

With the crisp sound of chains, a spinning scythe spun and reached Karna's back.

The scythe sharp enough to cut through the protection of the gods, even in the golden armor, Garna felt the touch of a cut on his back.

At the critical moment, he used his magic power again to shoot flames behind his back, using this rocket-like mobility to move forward a little.

But it was only a little bit, this speed was still too slow in front of the scythe that even cut through the sound barrier, through the control of the chain attached to the back of the scythe, the black and purple scythe delicately cut along the exposed lines of the golden armor of Karna, which was enough to resist the invasion of all things in the world, and finally broke through the defense under the transcendent sharpness.

Flesh was torn apart, flames were shredded, and even the Noble Phantasm, which was about to be released, was cut off from the magical power of the scythe, causing it to fail.

Even though the damage was cut by ninety percent by the golden armor, this sudden sneak attack still made Karna's eyes widen.

Fortunately, although there are many negative states carried on the scythe, the actual wounds caused are not too big, and when Karna completely gave up the liberation of the treasure and relied on the mobility provided by the magic power to get out of the enemy's attack range, the wounds on his body also healed quickly under the replication of the golden armor.

Only then could Karna take a closer look at the new figure on the other side.

Unexpectedly, the enemy's figure does not look tall, and can even be called petite, with that slightly childish and even slightly baby fat face, making the other party look very young.

A black robe enveloped his body, and a pair of purple eyes peeked out from under the black hood. Beneath the black robe is the silver and black armor, with the white stockings wrapped around the legs and the huge scythe held in the hand as tall as the height, there is a strange contrast cuteness.

However, Karna, who had just suffered that kick, knew very well that the seemingly small body of the other party contained unimaginably huge power.

It is no exaggeration to say that if you don't calculate the increase in mana power alone, you may even be at a disadvantage.

"That's ...... Medusa? Rin Tosaka's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe that the tall royal sister could become such a petite and cute image, "Does she still have such a treasure?" ”

Sakura also looked a little surprised, and blinked at the appearance of Medusa in the distance: "No...... I just knew that she had such a treasure, but I didn't expect the effect of this treasure to be so exaggerated, it was a complete change of people! ”

Medusa, who transformed into Anna's image, spun around with the scythe in her hand, staring vigilantly at Karna suspended in mid-air in the distance.

The reason why Medusa was able to make such a big change was all due to her own treasure: Self-Sealing Dark Temple.

This treasure is not much represented in Fate's anime, and it looks like it's just a strip of cloth used to seal his magic eye and a strange enchantment that can unleash illusions.

It's like Medusa's other treasure, the Seal of the Other: the Blood Temple, because of the Master's magic limitations, the effect of this terrible Noble Phantasm is only on the same level as that of ordinary enchantments.

In fact, the Temple of the Other Seal Blood can even break a horn of Tiamat's body if the magic power is sufficient.

In fact, both of these treasures are the divine embodiment of Mother Earth Goddess.

The three Gorgons are a copy or reproduction of the same natural phenomenon that has been deified, but for some reason, something went wrong at the time of birth, and the copy of the three daughters, Medusa, was skewed.

Although the two older sisters are the full embodiment of "immortality", Medusa does not possess the attribute of immortality.

However, Medusa has a variety of abilities that her sisters do not have—petrifying the Magic Eye, the ability to interfere with nature to a high degree, and excellent bodily functions, all of which can be said to be indispensable for protecting her sisters who are unable to survive in the natural world.

However, this does not mean that Medusa herself does not possess the divinity of Gorgon, in fact, it is known from mythology that when the two sisters voluntarily dedicated themselves to merge with Medusa, the full Gorgon will appear in the world.

Of course, as the mother goddess of the earth, although she is very high, she is not too strong in terms of strength (compared to the main god), and she will even be killed by Perseus, who has Athena's secret support.

In fact, the reason why Perseus was able to kill the complete Gorgon was also because when Gorgon wanted to use the Dark Temple to devour the other party, he used the Noble Phantasm to flip the internal and external concepts of the Dark God Realm.

This made Gorgon, who was originally outside the Dark Temple's sphere of influence, so much so that Gorgon was sealed by his own power, allowing Perseus to seize the opportunity to kill her.

The two types of Phantasms have different effects when used alone, and when the Seal of the Other Blood Temple is fully deployed, it will cause Medusa's body to change towards the concept of "monster" Gorgon.

The effect of the Self-Sealing Dark Temple is to cause Medusa's body to change towards a "perfect" state, that is, the forms of her two older sisters who have perfectly inherited the divinity of Gorgon.

Of course, if the two treasures are fully deployed together, it will make the "Mother Earth God" Gurgon descend.

However, the restrictions on the full development of these two treasures are too huge, and the pure magic power can only use their superficial power, and if you want to really open it, you need to use the power that represents the Earth Mother God.

To put it simply, each Noble Phantasm unfold requires a large amount of divinity.

But unfortunately, Medusa herself is very little divine because of the accident at the time of birth, and even after being summoned as a servant, the divinity column in the inherent skill is only E-level.

This level of divinity is even a little worse than some mortals who have been given power by the gods, and naturally it is impossible to meet the conditions for the two treasures to fully unfold.

Fortunately, she met Zheng Shu, and from the moment she was summoned, Medusa would stick to Zheng Shu whenever she had spare time.

In addition to expressing his thoughts about Zheng Shu, this is also to absorb the divinity on Zheng Shu's body as a reserve, so that in times of crisis, he can invoke these divinities and use his treasure to obtain enough powerful combat power.

And now, it is the so-called "crisis hour".

Of course, Zheng Shu is also very aware that Medusa has been absorbing her divinity, and it can even be said that without his permission, it is impossible for such a thing as divinity to be absorbed by others.

However, he didn't feel that the goddess who raised him would be bad for him, so he also silently provided divinity.

Because of this, Zheng Shu didn't act so anxious after knowing the other party's conspiracy.

After all, although I don't know the specific situation, Medusa has absorbed enough divinity from herself, if it weren't for the special nature of Zheng Shu's existence in this timeline, the divinity in her body would continue to recover, even if the divinity of the inherent skill is an A-level servant, it is estimated that it has been sucked dry by now.

With so much divinity piled up, it is impossible to be weak in combat power no matter what, even if you meet Karna, who is the ceiling of the servant, you don't have to worry.

After all, just like Zheng Shu said, there is a limit to the body of a servant, and there is an upper limit to the power that the spirit base can carry.

After the spirit base reaches the upper limit, the difference in strength before death will not affect the difference in combat effectiveness too much.

Of course, personal combat experience and treasures will still form a certain degree of combat power gap, but at most, they will be in the upper hand or suppressed, and will not form the previous devastating scene.

Karna and Medusa glanced at each other for a moment, and the second round of the battle began.

Moving forward in the same way, disappearing in place in the same place, relying on dimensional migration, Medusa reappeared at Karna's side in an instant.

However, in the face of Karna, who was already completely vigilant, such speed could still react, and he used his magic power to release his body in the air to meet the blade that suddenly appeared behind him.

Clang!

Although her surprise attack was blocked, Medusa continued to attack without hesitation.

Relying on her own body, she slammed into Karna's arms, attacking like a beast, the huge scythe in her hand seemed unusually flexible, constantly whirling and flipping, like a meat grinder, vowing to crush the enemy in front of her.

Karna did not flinch at all, even if his weapon suffered a little at close range, but in the face of the enemy's attack, he still waved the spear in his hand to block them one by one.

For a time, both sides reached a kind of stalemate.

……

……

Emiya family.

The gem given to them by Rin Tosaka was discovered the moment the signal was lost, and Emiya Shirou and Illya, who had been staying at home, immediately understood the seriousness of the matter.

"What's the situation?! It's still daytime, is the enemy crazy? Illya looked at the stone that had lost its luster in disbelief.

She can be regarded as a person who understands the world of magicians more clearly, of course, she knows the "unspoken rules" among magicians, and she also understands the seriousness of this situation.

Maintaining the mystery of magic itself is the common obligation of all magicians, after all, once magic is exposed, then the mystery will cease to exist and magic will disappear.

To dare to do such a thing shows that the enemy is even ready to go against the entire magic world.

"Aren't they in danger then?!" Emiya Shirou also became nervous.

When Illya heard this, she turned her head to look at him, and there was a sense of relief on her face that her cub had grown up, so she nodded and stood up: "Let's go, let's go and see who dares to do this." ”

Without much hesitation, the two of them summoned their servants and immediately rushed towards the location of the Tosaka family.

However, just as the two of them ran over a deserted hillside, Illya suddenly sensed danger: "Be careful! ”

"It's very sensitive, little girl!"

The words of ridicule also sounded at the same time, and with it was followed by an exaggerated sword.

Clang!

At the last moment, Artoria relied on her instincts to accurately block the sudden blow, wielding an invisible weapon in front of Illya.

At this moment, the enchantment that had been arranged in advance suddenly opened, enveloping the entire half-hillside, driving away all ordinary people who might disturb this battle.

"Who are you? If you dare to fight in the daytime, isn't the Lord behind you afraid of the sanction of the Church?! ”

Illya, who had recovered a life, questioned in some shock, and began to build various protective techniques in her hands, and the attack just now made her feel the threat of death.

"Sanctions? Hahaha! I don't want to worry about all that mess, my only thought is to fight against the strong......"

The sudden appearance of the Heroic Spirit laughed wildly, as if he wanted to say something more, but suddenly stopped, as if someone was talking to him.

"It's you?!" At this time, Emiya Shirou finally saw the Servant standing in front of several people clearly, and he was very familiar with this image, because it was this Servant who stopped in front of Hyde when he first went to church.

"Oh, do you know me? I don't remember meeting you, no, it's ......."

Beowulf looked at Emiya Shirou, who clearly recognized him, with some curiosity, and suddenly turned his gaze to Jekyll, who looked unremarkable next to him.

The other party's image and aura were unfamiliar to him, but Beowulf's intuition as a warrior told him that this guy in front of him had fought with him, and it was a hearty enough battle.

"It's you! Hahahaha, that's great! Last time, I didn't dare to fight with all my strength because of the Master, but this time we met again, and it seems that fate is favoring me! Beowulf laughed again, glad that he had finally found the opponent he had been looking for.

"Come on! Let's fight each other, let's fight to the death! ”

Beowulf made a move that surprised everyone, he voluntarily dropped his weapon, revealing a gesture of his bare hands.

However, Emiya Shirou knew the reason very well, he had seen it before, the other party's violent fighting posture after discarding the weapon, but it was a bit too arrogant to take the initiative to discard the weapon in the face of so many enemies of his own?

"Do you voluntarily drop your weapons? It's really arrogant, do you think you can stop both of us by yourself? Artoria asked unceremoniously, her hands clenching the sword in her hand, as she suddenly felt a bad feeling.

"Oh!! It's really surprisingly vindictive, I didn't expect that this little girl of yours is actually a quite qualified warrior, I am so lucky to be able to participate in this Holy Grail War, there are so many strong people waiting for me to fight. ”

Beowulf felt the momentum of Artoria's explosion, and his eyes lit up, and then his expression was a little regretful.

"It's a pity, this time the lord has arranged enough manpower, so your opponent is not me, the little girl has to hold on, live as much as possible, and I will try to fight with you the next time I see you."

"What do you mean?" Artoria felt a very bad premonition from Beowulf's words.

However, Beowulf ignored her, and for a battle maniac like him, an enemy who could not fight was of no value. Fortunately, there is a good "main course" in front of me, which is enough to make myself have a good time.

"Hey, boy, call that guy out, you don't want to fight me like this, do you?" Beowulf stretched out his hand and pointed to Jekyll, who looked unremarkable next to him.

Beowulf trusts his instincts for the enemy, and since the image of the guy in front of him is completely different from what he saw before, it means that he has another form.

In fact, when he fought with Hyde before, Beowulf had already noticed that the alienated body of the other party actually represented a distortion of the mind, after all, for a battle maniac like him, the communication between fists is the communication between hearts, and the other party's mind and appearance are too matched.

This is not something difficult to understand for Beowulf, who has been in a hundred battles before his death, after all, there are many people who have completely different personalities in battle and daily life, but the people in front of them have changed more completely.

"You guy...... Are you going to ignore me like that? ”

Artoria frowned, the other party's attitude of no one in her eyes made her feel strange, the person in front of her seemed to be mentally abnormal, or too insane.

Although he can communicate with other people normally, under that normal appearance is an incomprehensible spiritual world.

"Or is it Berserker?"

Artoria suddenly understood the other party's rank.

Because the Berserker she came into contact with in the last Holy Grail War was Zheng Shu, Artoria was more able to understand Berserker's mental state.

In her opinion, the so-called Berserker is actually a person who is too stubborn in some ways, after all, this is the case with all the servants of the Berserker rank that Artoria has come into contact with, including Jekyll.

"You're really troublesome, didn't I say it, you have someone else to deal with." Beowulf reached out and plucked out his ear, looking disdainful.

"You ......"

Before Artoria could finish her sentence, she heard a subtle "click" crisp metallic sound, which was faint but chillingly cold.

Artoria jerked her head to the side and stood guarded, and at the top of the hillside there was a man in full armor standing there at some point, his body trembling.

The strange metallic sound Artoria had heard before was the sound of the armor that completely covered her limbs vibrating slightly like water waves, hitting each other.

"You ......"

Because of the terrain, the people on the hillside happened to hide their figures in the sun, so Artoria didn't see the style of the opponent's armor clearly for a while, but heard a strange voice from the other party.

The strange groaning sound that seemed to crawl across the ground, the source of the sound like being crushed and sobbing, came from the depths of the helmet on the other's head.

The other person's body trembled slightly, and then a burst of laughter suddenly came from the hillside.

Artoria felt an indescribable chill run through her body when she heard the laughter, and her instincts warned her, but Artoria stared at the man on the hillside as if she were obsessed.

As the other party moved, the people on the hillside had also left the range of the harsh sunlight, revealing the image of their armor.

It was a perfect armor that was neither ornate nor vulgar, but could combine functional beauty with splendid beauty, and the craftsmen did their best to cast it with great attention to detail, making it appear both mighty and sophisticated, and even the countless scars on it formed a carving of Zhang Qi's great exploits, adding to its heroic demeanor, which was the ideal battle attire that all knights could not help but envy.

Artoria naturally recognized the brave man who once galloped on the battlefield wearing that armor, and the other party was a better fighter than anyone else on the battlefield, and it was the existence of the other party that gave her country the final fatal blow.

"You...... How come?! ”

Artoria wished she had misunderstood, but the Silver Knight laughed as if mocking her thoughts, and stretched out his hands to reveal his heavy sword.

“Ae…… thur……”

Resentment reverberated through the silver-white helmet, and with the click of metal clattering, the silver-white helmet retracted to reveal its delicate-looking face.

"Arthur !!"

The roar like the wailing of a dying beast roared from Mordred's mouth, and countless red thunderbolts erupted from his body at the same time, and the whole person seemed to be a demon reborn from hell.

No, she did crawl out of hell to be exact.

"Roar!"

With a roar of rage, Mordred charged towards her beloved father, her unbridled fighting stance that made her look more suited to the Berserker name.
