Chapter 364: The Temple

Thundered.

A series of explosions came from the side, and the red thunder and the bursting hurricane intertwined, bringing a fatal blow to the forest on the hillside.

Mordred was completely overwhelmed by anger, and didn't care about the enemies around her, and as a last resort, Artoria had no choice but to fight with her.

As Saber in the upper third order, the two of them have excellent physical attributes, and they have already moved away from their original positions in just a few back and forth.

"Oops, hey, the fight is really fierce, then it's time for us to start here, my fists are a little unbearable!"

Beowulf looked at the two people fighting frantically in the distance, his face showed an excited expression, and his scarlet eyes stared at Jekyll, who looked like an ordinary person: "Come on, hurry up and get ready, or I will beat your master to death." Don't worry, as long as you fight with me, I won't embarrass this little guy. ”

Emiya Shirou swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and the spiritual will transmitted from the other party's words made him know that the madman in front of him was definitely not joking, he would really beat himself to death.

But......

He still clearly remembered the result of the battle that day, and later, even though the opponent's dragon tooth soldiers and magic workshops had stopped operating, the battle maniac in front of him also used his own hands to beat Hyde, who had turned into a monster, and wailed.

If it weren't for the other party's inexplicable letting them go, Hyde might have left the game that day.

And obviously, this time the other party will definitely not stay any longer, if you really let Jekyll transform into Hyde to fight, he will definitely be beaten to death by the other party.

Emiya Shirou gritted his teeth and stepped forward to stop in front of his servant.

He knew how weak he was, but he couldn't put his friend in danger for his own life!

"No problem!"

At this time, a hand stopped in front of Emiya Shirou and prevented him from taking a step forward, it was Jekyll, who had been standing next to him and was learning to dress up.

β€œBerserkerοΌŸοΌβ€ Emiya Shirou's eyes widened in surprise and he reached out to grab his shoulder, "No! If you do, that guy will beat you to death! ”

"Calm down, Shirou." Jekyll smiled gently, grabbed his hand and patted it, as if to comfort him.

"That was a few days ago, when you weren't a full-fledged magician and your mana supply wasn't sufficient, but after a few days of training, you've become strong enough. Trust me, and trust the sweat you've spent on these few days. ”

"This ......," Emiya Shirou looked at his hands a little stunned.

"Don't worry, Master, although I'm not very strong, we are very strong."

Jekyll smiled, turned around and walked two quick steps in front of Beowulf.

Beowulf, who had been standing silently in place without any disturbance since just now, looked at Jekyll's eyes and smiled excitedly. The fists clenched against each other in front of his chest, making a "thump" sound.

"What a nice look, you're so satisfying as an enemy!"

"Thanks for the compliment, I'm really just a scholar, but if you can like the other side of me, I'm sure he'll be happy too."

Jekyll still smiled gently, and a flowing potion appeared in his hand, which was his liquid treasure.

"Dangerous Game."

Without hesitation, he drank it in one gulp, and his body once again underwent terrifying changes.

In front of Beowulf, Jekyll's body continued to protrude and fall, as if there was a monster under that skin that wanted to get out of trouble, and the whole person gradually expanded, became larger, deformed, and black smoke-like smoke appeared out of thin air and wrapped around his body.

After a while, the hideous alien reappeared on the hillside.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

The raging beast roared greedily, but it looked like a hero defending all beings.

"Hahahaha! Right! Right! It's like this, it's like this, and only such a monster has the value to bring me down! ”

Beowulf laughed maniacally, his scarlet pupils glowing as if they were about to glow.

Facing the monster that had already pounced, he clenched his fist wrapped in red bandages, and the two of them burst out with a strong fighting spirit, and rushed towards the monster with a more wild attitude.

"Grendel Buster!"

It was two wild beasts that collided together, using the most primitive weapons of creatures, biting and gnawing at each other with their fists and claws.

……

……

Boom!

Another dull punch landed on the body, and the air wave that erupted from the collision of the fist and the flesh blew away the dust around it.

"Hmm!"

Arash let out a muffled grunt and flew backwards, his feet plowing the ground with two slender trails before stopping.

"Ahem! What a heavy fist......"

Cracking his mouth with difficulty, Arash couldn't help but smile bitterly as he looked at the tall figure standing in the distance.

The gap is too big, or it should be said, the two sides are not at the same level at all.

Strength, Agility, Defense, Reaction Speed...... Each item has a big gap with the other party, even the strong body that he is most proud of is vulnerable in front of the other party.

When attacking with a bow and arrow, it doesn't feel so obvious, although the oppressive force is very strong, it can still be contained, but when it is really melee, you can clearly feel how big the gap between the two sides is.

Obviously he has a sturdy body that has never been sick or injured since birth, but after only a few punches, he has begun to feel pain and fatigue.

Arash knew very well that he might not be able to sustain himself for a few more minutes if he continued like this, and that he would not be able to drag on for too long even if he fought for his life.

On the other side, Zheng Shu also heard Arash's evaluation of himself, he glanced at his fist, and the corners of his mouth twitched inexplicably:

"What a heavy fist? What kind of monster are you, a normal servant can't say such a sentence when he hits me, my fist shouldn't be just 'so heavy', right? ”

Zheng Shu had already recognized Arash's identity, but even with the correction of the inherent skill of the benevolent Demon King, he could directly kill the other party by smashing it on an ordinary servant.

After all, he didn't have the strength to rein in the punch just now, and it is no exaggeration to say that most of the single treasures may not be as destructive as his punch, even if a servant of Karna's level still has the damage reduction of the golden armor, it is estimated that he will have to suffer a lot of damage after eating such a punch.

Spit at least two mouthfuls of blood is inevitable, but Arash in front of him ......

Zheng Shu couldn't help but fall silent as he looked at the enemy who had just taken a few breaths and then stood up again to regain his vitality.

This guy ...... The physical fitness before death may not be much worse than your own body.

Of course, this physical quality refers to the level before being amplified by divinity, and this is where the gap between divine and non-divine creatures lies.

Divinity is essentially an amplifier that can make the basic quality stronger, a bit similar to skills such as Super Saiyan Transformation or Realm King Fist, except that the increase of divinity is a normal passive skill.

Even with the same basic physical qualities, a creature with divinity will be much stronger than a creature without divinity.

To tell the truth, the fighting methods of the gods and spirits in the Greek vein are relatively simple, and they rarely use any "stunts", and they are basically fists and muscles.

Those ultimate-looking ultimates are basically used to clear the soldiers, and if you really meet a strong person of the same level, you have to rely on your fists and muscles.

Therefore, at the same level of different god systems, the physical strength of the gods of the Greek lineage among the gods can be regarded as powerful.

Just like Karna, the main god-level powerhouse of ancient India, if you calculate the combat power of the body, Zheng Shu's current body is a little worse than him, but if you only count the strength of the body, he can press the opponent and let the opponent have one hand at the same time.

Karna was so powerful because his flames, which represented the sun, took up a large part of his fighting power.

After all, you are afraid of nuclear fusion by hand.

But this Arash in front of you...... If Zheng Shu removes his own divine amplification, and then removes the defensive ability brought by the lion template, according to the proportion, the physical strength of the other party before his death is just a little worse than his own body.

No wonder he is wearing not heavy armor but light armor, this level of physical strength, even if there is no increase in defense brought by the lion template, ordinary swords and spears are estimated to leave no traces on his body.

When Arash was alive, he should also be the kind of muscular powerhouse who could shout "How can steel be compared to a flesh that has been tempered for thousands of years".

"Are you still going to persevere, I can spare your life if you are caught, after all, I am also curious about what your next plan is."

Zheng Shu looked at Arash who was standing in place and panting all the time trying to persuade him to surrender, the strength of the other party's flesh was indeed surprising, but it was only flesh strength.

There is a huge gap between Zheng Shu and Zheng Shu in terms of magic, divinity, melee skills, and even equipment, and these gaps accumulate to make Zheng Shu a completely crushing posture when facing Arash.

Even if your own inherent skills will provide damage reduction for the opponent, it is not too difficult to win if you really want to fight seriously.

After all, the treasure that Arash threatens the most, can't be used at all at Zheng Shu's speed, even if he desperately comes up to entangle, at most he will carry a few more punches.

Arash wiped the sweat from his cheeks, listened to Zheng Shu's words and smiled without answering, in fact, Amakusa Shiro Shizhen had already issued an order for him to retreat after his arrows were consumed.

After all, there were a lot of accidents this time, but I also collected a lot of information, and if I retreat now, I will only suffer a little at most.

But...... He can't retreat.

After losing the means of attack, Arash found it completely impossible to escape from the opponent's hands, and because of the speed gap, even if he wanted to use the Noble Phantasm, there was no way, that is, Arash had fallen into a mortal situation.

"I didn't expect to exit in such an embarrassing way, it's really ...... Unwilling! ”

Saying this, Arash still mustered up his strength and pulled the bowstring towards Zheng Shu.

Even if he is caught in a mortal situation, he still has to resist to the end, which is the necessary will to be a hero.

"Looks like you've already made your decision."

Seeing this, Zheng Shu also opened his hands and clenched them into fists again, for the other party's will, he showed his greatest respect: "Come on!" ”

Boom!

Kicking the ground under his feet, Zheng Shu's body flew out like a cannonball, rushing straight towards Arash.

Arash aimed at Zheng Shu's face with a serious expression, ready to let go of the bowstring in his hand and make a final struggle.

And then......

The dazzling light has arrived!

Like the holy light that judges sinners, a beam of light containing terrifying power appeared out of thin air in the position where the two were fighting, but this light did not shoot down from the sky, but from the ground.

"What the hell?!" Zheng Shu immediately put away his attack and made a defensive posture.

On the other side, Arash also reacted quickly, and the moment the high-energy beam hit arrived, he changed the direction of his shot, and the charged bow and arrow shot at his feet, using the magic arrow as a buffer against unknown attacks.

Rumble!!!

The sound of a loud explosion echoed through the air, and the shockwave relentlessly threw the surrounding objects into the air, and then fell hard.

At the moment when the high-energy beam shot out from the ground, the surface of the earth was instantly melted by the high temperature and powerful energy, and the land was violently swept away by a huge force, turning into magma in mid-air and flying around, setting off huge lava waves.

The forest that had been shot into ruins by Arash with a bow and arrow was ignited in an instant, and the raging fire spread rapidly through the wreckage and engulfed everything, turning into a sea of fire in an instant.

Waves of fire rose into the sky, and waves of blazing air rolled, scorching and devouring the creatures that remained in the forest.

The earth trembled, and the light did not stop immediately after it was launched, but indifferently sliced through the surface of the earth like an infinitely stretched blade, and also cut a crack in the sky.

The whole sky was brighter, and the noon sun could not hide the dazzling light, and any creature who dared to look directly at the light would probably be blinded at first.

Finally, the beam that lasted for a few seconds ended, and the earth seemed to have experienced a devastating catastrophe, the soil and rocks melted or evaporated under the high temperature of the laser, and the moving beam left a huge crack in the ground.

The smell of burning in the air, coupled with the intense electrical discharge and the high temperature that distorted the air, turned the surrounding environment into an unusually chaotic situation, flattening the entire Okutama Mountains and completely vaporizing a nearby river.

"What the hell is this?!"

Next to the rift, the red-hot magma glowed red, and above that, a figure in black armor stood in place, with a pair of unusually large "wings" behind it, unoblivious to the fact that his feet were stepping on the magma.

Zheng Shu looked at the crack under his feet with a solemn expression, the destructive power of the blow just now was a bit beyond the limit, completely beyond the upper limit that the Servant Lingji could withstand.

So even he suffered a lot of damage, but because the recovery power of the dragon bloodline was strong enough, he consumed a lot of mana to heal his injuries the moment he was seriously injured.

This is still because this ray of light is essentially a pure magical impact, so the divine weapon on Zheng Shu's body absorbs most of the magic power of the attack, so that he only bears a small part of the power.

Otherwise, the blow just now would have directly knocked Zheng Shu away.

It is no exaggeration to say that according to Zheng Shu's current defensive capability, the destructive power of the blow just now is not inferior to the power of a tactical nuclear bomb.

And the most terrifying thing is that the beam does not explode instantly, but can continue to output, if the controller of the beam targets himself, then even he is estimated to not survive.

Thinking of this, Zheng Shu's expression became extremely serious.

The two cloaks behind him trembled, one quickly shrunk back to its original form, and the other turned in front of Zheng Shu, plopping down on the lava-covered ground, revealing a figure covered by the cloak.

"Ahem! Thank you very much......"

Arash lay on Zheng Shu's cloak and coughed twice, his current state was quite bad, his originally strong body was seriously injured, his bare skin was full of burn marks, and even the crimson bow in his hand was burned so that only a piece of wreckage remained.

If it weren't for Zheng Shu who used his cloak to help him block the damage at the critical moment and save him, Arash estimated that he would not even have a piece of ash left.

"No thanks, be careful, the next enemy is not easy to deal with."

Zheng Shu picked up Arash, who was so badly injured that he couldn't move freely, and the cloak behind his back flew up with him as wings.

This time, Arash did not resist, because he also knew very well that the one who could perform this blow was definitely not an enemy that a single Servant could resist.

Under the vigilant gaze of the two, the ground suddenly trembled.

There was a sound like thunder, the sound of the earth rubbing against each other, and the ground began to rise and fall significantly, as if some behemoth was about to break through the seal of the earth and emerge from it.

The mountain range, which had been shattered after being bombarded by the beam, collapsed in an instant, and the mountain shattered in an instant under the violent changes, and the huge crack devoured everything around it like the claws of a giant beast.

An inexplicable building burst out of the ground, and its momentum even overshadowed the original Okutama Mountains, shimmering in the sunlight with a metallic luster, and the base at the bottom was thick and steady like an ancient mountain range, supporting the weight of the entire building.

As the building rises, the already dilapidated mountain range collapses completely, and the rock crushes under the pressure of the building.

By the time the massive structure was fully raised, the original Mount Okutama had become history.

And this is far from the end, the building that grows out of the ground is still rising, and the speed of the rise is getting faster and faster, and the base has left the ground, but it can still be suspended in mid-air.

After the building was raised to a certain level, Zheng Shu and the others finally understood that the building in front of them was actually a temple, and it was not one, it was an endless temple.

Shrines of various sizes sit above the ruins of the Okutama Mountains, which have been completely shattered by their sheer size.

From Zheng Shu's point of view, the whole picture of this thing is probably more than ten kilometers, and the endless compound shrines even cover the mountains behind it, and even some of them extend to the edge of the city.

Just by looking at it, it's not just a weapon of attack, it's a country, a piece of history, and a place where myths once took place.

"It's ...... What is it?! ”

Even Arash, who is indifferent by nature, can't help but feel a deep shock in his heart when he sees this scene.

Because his body was seriously injured, he could not move casually, but even so, he still stretched his head to stare at the exaggerated and magnificent thing, I am afraid that in his time, it would be almost impossible to witness such a glorious scene.

Finally, the majestic structure was fully lifted into the air, and a majestic and solemn behemoth appeared in the sky above Fuyuki City.

Oversized Composite Temple.

The surface of the temple radiated countless radiances, like meteors falling to the ground, and even in the daytime, it was extremely dazzling.

Because of the impact caused by the lift-off, the landslide caused by the wreckage of Mt. Okutama has even spread to the outlying urban areas, and the port that was so badly built after being destroyed ten years ago has been completely destroyed.

So far, the damage caused by this Holy Grail War has been greater than that of the last Holy Grail War, after all, the biggest scourge caused by the last Holy Grail War was to burn half a mountain.

And just the ascension of this temple has already crushed the mountains behind it, along with Mt. Okutama, and everything close to the city.

The edge of the compound temple, several kilometers in diameter, destroyed everything, it was the sheer destructive power of sheer weight and sheer pressure.

But miraculously, there were no casualties.

Zheng Shu could clearly see that the light scattered from under the temple was actually a small laser cannon, and all the falling rocks and debris that were about to harm the civilians disappeared under the attack of the laser cannon, leaving only the frightened people standing in place.

From this point of view, the true holder of this composite temple body can indeed be regarded as a compassionate person, no matter what the original purpose of the other party is, at least he does care about the lives of civilians.

However, Zheng Shu is not thinking about this now, he is thinking of another aspect: "How can the church cover up such a big movement?" It can't be said to be a mirage, right? Or is it because of the gas explosion leaking too much gas, causing the residents of the whole city to fall into hallucinations? ”

After all, a big thing is suspended in the air, not to mention Fuyuki City, I'm afraid even the surrounding cities can be seen.

Anyway, the influence of this temple alone is enough to give the clock tower and the templar church a headache, and I hope that the heads of these two forces will not die of cerebral thrombosis after hearing the news.
