The close confrontation between Karna and Medusa continued, and each of their attacks shook the atmosphere, and the flames and whirlwinds collided with each other, destroying the surrounding environment like a natural disaster.

Once again, with the collision opened the distance, Karna, also had to sigh at Medusa's difficulty, the other party's martial arts are absolutely exquisite, especially the ability to maneuver is even more admirable.

Unlike Karna, who relies purely on the release of mana to form a jet-like way to move at supersonic speeds, Medusa moves by using divinity and skill to manipulate her body and perform a dimensional leap that is almost space-jumping.

Because of this, her movement trajectory is quite irregular, and every time she swings the scythe, she will appear in unexpected places, and if she misses the first blow, she will immediately pull away, peep into the gap of the opponent and prepare for a second attack, as deadly as a poisonous snake.

And once Medusa catches the opportunity to fight, then she will become a beast and "bite" wildly, even at the expense of exchanging injuries for injuries to gain an advantage in battle.

However, after a few battles with Karna, Medusa found that this method was not very useful for Karna in golden armor, the spear in the opponent's hand could easily cut a huge wound on her body, and her scythe could cause limited damage even if it could break through the defense.

And those wounds that Medusa had so hard to cause, with Karna's ability to heal itself quickly, only need to delay a few seconds to completely heal.

Because of this, Medusa was at a huge disadvantage for a while, and if it weren't for the enhancement of Rin Tosaka's support magic, she might have lost a long time ago.

After suffering a few losses, Medusa has completely switched to her strategy, using the first method to harass constantly.

Sometimes, when Karna catches the gap between attacks, it will produce a very troublesome grappling.

And with the passage of time, Medusa found that the divinity in her body was rapidly depleting, but the face-to-face Karna not only did not become weak, but because she met an opponent who could be called equal, her momentum continued to improve, and she became more and more combative.

Fortunately, just as Medusa began to think about whether to flee with the Master, Red A's support shot finally arrived.

Brain, chest, back, arms, thighs...... Once hit, they are important enough to affect the direction of the battle, even if the damage caused is limited, it is enough to help your own servants gain an advantage in this rapidly changing battle.

Each arrow was aimed at its target, tearing through the flames and storms on the periphery of the battlefield and flying towards these locations on Karna's body.

Karna, who had been moving at supersonic speeds in mid-air, could not have been hit by such a simple shot, but when he changed his trajectory, he found that the red arrows would still chase him.

Momentarily figuring out how these arrows might work, Karna let out a soft breath, and the breath filled with the sun's flame immediately engulfed the arrows that came at him.

But in the next moment, the arrows tore through the flames that surrounded them, still chasing Karna and shooting at them.

Frowning slightly, Karna was about to swing the indestructible spear to directly smash these strange red arrows, but when he was about to shoot, he found that his spear was stopped.

Clang!

With a crisp sound of metal clashing, she threw the scythe that had been held in Medusa's hand all along, and used the chain attached to the back of the scythe to hook the inextinguishable spear in Karna's hand.

Crash......

Medusa silently pulled the chains, and at this time, most of the chains that had been in the spirit of the child finally revealed its physical appearance, and Karna found that his body had been entangled in chains for some time, but he didn't notice it because the chains had been in the spirit child before.

Without much hesitation, Medusa's body once again appeared with magic patterns that represented strange power and magical power, pulling the chain in her hand and throwing Karna at the flying red arrow like a meteor hammer.

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, a terrifying magic suddenly erupted from Karna's body, and a large amount of solar flame erupted along with the release of magic power, and the chains wrapped around his body were all destroyed in an instant.

But by this time, the five arrows had already struck like meteors.

Karna swung the immortal spear in his hand and knocked down the four arrows in front of him, but only the arrow that shot at the back could not be attacked, and by this time the arrow had already arrived at Karna's side, and the next moment it could hit him in the back.

By this time, it was too late to spin the indestructible spear, and Karna could only turn and look behind him, shooting a red beam of light through his pupils, burning the arrow that tried to maneuver again to ashes.

Is that the end of it? No, that's just the beginning!

The few bows and arrows shot by Red A were just cover after all, and the main force that really fought was still Medusa, and at this time she had seized the opponent's biggest gap to launch her own attack.

Call!

The sound of the weapon spinning and flying quickly came from behind, but at this time, Karna had no ability to resist at all, all his attacks had been completed, and he was in the most severe moment of regaining his breath.

Too late to turn back, Karna could only barely raise the spear in his hand to try to block the next attack, but such a loose defense was too easy for Medusa to break through.

Clang!

Burst!

The crisp sound of metal striking meant that the inextinguishable spear in Karna's hand was shaken away by Medusa with the hammer at the end of the chain, and then the sharp scythe blade pierced Karna's chest without hindrance.

"Drink!"

Suffering such a serious injury, Karna didn't care about the wound on his chest at all, instead clenched the inextinguishable spear in both hands, rolled up a huge flame storm, and smashed it towards the Medusa in front of him.

Seeing this, Medusa could only stop her attack, and instead set up a black scythe to block, the inextinguishable spear and the scythe collided continuously, and the impact of fire and magic made the surrounding environment worse again.

However, Red A's attack is not over yet, and since he has already agreed with Rin Tosaka that he will consume a large amount of mana, how can just shooting five arrows be considered a "large amount".

In order to improve his shooting efficiency, Red A did not hold on until the projection of five arrows and then released them, but chose three volleys.

Three roots followed by three roots, and Red A stood on the ground continuously projecting and shooting, and a large amount of magic power flowed from Rin Tosaka's body into his body, and was projected into a red hound.

Because of the characteristics of the red hound, he didn't even need special aiming, he only needed to shoot the arrow, and the blood-colored arrow would inevitably fly to the point of Karna.

For a moment, the entire sky was filled with red arrows, and they were like schools of piranhas, frantically chasing Karna who was constantly moving rapidly in the air.

Next to these arrows, Medusa is constantly harassing Karna like a ghost, and once Karna is distracted by the red arrows, her harassing attack will turn into a lore.

In response to this endless harassment, as well as Medusa's slashes that broke through the flame defenses from time to time, Karna could only keep waving his indestructible spear, the golden flame of the sun burning violently on his body, fighting with a single-minded attitude.

However, even so, the wounds on his body became more and more numerous, even exceeding the upper limit of what his high-speed recovery could heal.

In this way, if this continues, it is estimated that it will not be long before Karna will be dragged to death by this tactic.

Suddenly, Medusa grabbed a flaw that Karna revealed again, stretched out her foot in the air and stepped on the whole person out of thin air, and when she reappeared, she had already crossed the space to Karna's side.

Airplanes......

The high-speed swing caused the purple scythe to hum slightly, and Medusa's body appeared with a light that represented the unleashing of the strange power skill, and in the moment of Karna's attention, she used all her strength to nail the blade of the scythe to the gem in Garna's chest.

Click...... Sizzle......

While the red gem shattered, it also represented that the scythe had broken through the defenses of the golden armor.

"Humph......"

Karl snorted, this was probably the closest he had come to death in this Holy Grail War, and if he hadn't taken half a step back at the critical moment, the spirit core in his body might have been pierced.

When he tried to fight back, the continuous Red Yuan Hound had already chased after him, disrupting his vision and disrupting the rhythm of his attack.

And Medusa also plans to take this opportunity to leave his side and regain her strength for the next round of attacks.

But at this moment, the unexpected happened.

Because the scythe stabbed deeper this time, under the tension of the muscles in Karna's chest, Medusa pulled out the scythe a little jerky.

And it was this slight delay that made Karna's hand grip the blade of the sickle tightly, preventing Medusa from leaving his side.

At this time, the sky full of arrows shot by Red A had already caught up with Karna who was stopped in mid-air, and dozens of arrows hit his flesh at the same time, and then exploded according to Red A's previous settings.

Thundered!

This was a violent explosion brought about by the "Fantasy Collapse", and the terrifying shock wave even caused a great change in the heavens and the earth, and the magic of the entire street was disturbed, and under the intense high-energy radiation, the vision of everyone present turned white in an instant.

By the time the dust had settled, Medusa's scythe blade could be seen piercing through Karna.

In order to be able to lock the enemy in front of him, Karna even did not hesitate to use his own body as a cage, and after making sure that he avoided the position of the spirit core, he ignored the blade that continued to penetrate into his body, and reached out to grab Medusa's shoulder.

This time, except for the most serious injury in the heart, Karna's entire body was bleeding, and Medusa in front of him was also seriously injured.

At such a close distance, the damage caused by the Fantasy Collapse Medusa could not dodge at all, so she could only eat this blow hard, if it weren't for the fact that Karna's body was used as the first shield to weaken most of the damage, I am afraid she would have returned to the Holy Grail.

"This guy...... Why is it so difficult?! Rin Tosaka looked at the scene in the air with a bitter expression, and could only subconsciously lick her dry lips.

Her lips were cracked by the heat of the air, and traces of blood flowed into her mouth, and she tasted the rust of her own blood.

At this time, Red A shot two arrows again, but these two arrows were not intended to attack, but to separate the two people in the sky.

He knew very well that once Karna recovered first, Medusa in this state would not have any power to fight back at all.

Two arrows, one landed precisely in Karna's scythe-gripping hand, and the other into his other hand that had grabbed Medusa.

Karna, who had just suffered a heavy blow, was now in a state of extreme weakness, and although he was not seriously injured by the continuous operation of the golden armor in the face of two bows and arrows, the impact of the arrows still forced him to let go of his hands.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, Medusa also forced her tattered body to launch a dimensional jump again and disappeared in front of Karna.

Looking at the enemy who had disappeared in front of him, Karna's originally calm face finally showed a trace of regret.

After a few breaths, flames erupted from his body, and the rapidly regenerating flesh healed all the wounds on Karna's body, even the piercing wound in the center of his chest, which nearly cut his heart in half, and even the chopped gem regenerated.

This is the regeneration ability provided by the golden armor driven by massive magic power, which can even be comparable to some super-fast regeneration skills.

After gaining enough magic power, Karna is completely worthy of being the ceiling among the servants.

"Are you going to keep fighting? The results should already be clear. ”

Karna moved his body to make sure he was completely healed and didn't attack again, but looked at the few people below and asked.

Everyone present fell silent, especially Red A and Medusa, who had been fighting with Karna, although they had not officially gotten along, but for powerful warriors, the battle itself was the best communication.

They knew very well that the enemy was not asking this question as a mockery, but whether he should sacrifice his life to save his master's life.

It is obvious that the other party still has spare strength, but his own side has reached the limit.

Medusa's injuries have not yet fully healed, and both Rin Tosaka and Sakura have reached their limit, Sakura has fallen into a state of weakness that is unable to move, and Rin Tosaka, who is in slightly better condition, has also collapsed to the ground and cannot fight.

If the battle continues, even if Karna's Noble Phantasm does not affect the two of them, the two of them will die due to the excessive consumption of mana.

"That's a good point, so that's all for today."

A voice came from the farther sky, causing Karna, who had been confident, to immediately become vigilant.

He grabbed the inextinguishable spear in his hand and turned his head to look at the sky in the distance.

There, a figure was rapidly approaching the battlefield.

"That's right" was heard by a few people, he was still far away from the horizon, and after the word "bar" was finished, he had already carried a sonic boom to the center of the battlefield.

And it was only at this time that everyone present discovered that behind that figure, there was a battleship that covered the sky...... No, it should be a temple, but this temple is now suspended in mid-air, exuding an indescribable terrifying coercion.

"That's ...... What? ”

Rin Tosaka muttered to herself in a trance, and the excessive shock even made her have no time to care about Zheng Shu's arrival.

Just now, the battle in front of him was so involved in his energy that when he discovered the figure of this floating temple, the other party had already revealed his full picture, which made Rin Tosaka's heart suffer a great impact.

The expressions of the other people present were similar to hers, even the well-informed Karna involuntarily contracted his pupils after seeing this scene, and his heart beat rapidly inexplicably.

Such a magnificent scene was something that even he, a god, had never seen in his lifetime.

"You're fighting really fiercely, even if there is an exorcism enchantment, it's not easy to cover it up when the time comes. Ah, but I'm afraid there is no need to cover up such small information now, after all, there is a bigger goal hanging on the top. ”

Zheng Shu looked around, put away his cloak, and floated to the ground.

Seeing his movements, Karna was silent for a moment, and slowly stopped his magic power release, allowing his body to fall to the ground and be at eye level with Zheng Shu.

"What do you want to do?"

Karna glanced at Zheng Shu, then turned his gaze to his hand, where the unconscious Arash was still in his hand.

"Didn't I say that? How about getting here today, after all, you saw the big guy too. Zheng Shu shook his head in the direction of the Radiant Composite Temple.

Karna was silent for a moment but did not refute, and after seeing the huge temple floating in the air, he already knew that the biggest enemies in this Holy Grail War were not these guys in front of him, even if there was one of them whose strength was above him, it was insignificant compared to the level of war fortress in the distant sky.

That thing, if he still retained god-level strength during his lifetime, he could still try to break through the monomer.

But now, relying only on such a temporary body that was pinched up by ritual, it would be a bit of a fool's dream to break through that level of war fortress alone.

“…… Good. ”

Amakusa Shiro Shizhen didn't have a follow-up order on his side, and it seemed that they were also having a headache with this powerful enemy that had just emerged, so Karna made a decisive decision.

In this situation, it is good to be able to reserve some more combat power for your side.

Zheng Shu also showed a smile after hearing Karna's answer, and raised his hand to throw the Arash in his hand in front of him.

"The answer is very simple, I like a decisive person like you, let's go, if I am captured next time, I won't have this chance."

Karna was a little stunned after catching Arash who was thrown by Zheng Shu, he didn't expect the other party to be able to return Arash so happily, anyway, this is also a big battle force on his side.

Even if he survived due to the influence of an unknown enemy, according to Karna's thoughts, his side would have to pay a lot of price if he wanted to take it back.

Zheng Shu understood the reason why Karna was stunned, but he didn't have any intention of explaining, just waved his hand and asked them to leave.

It stands to reason that what Karna thinks is relatively normal, after all, it is precisely because of a powerful threat that even if they put forward some unreasonable conditions now, Amakusa Shiro Shizhen will grit his teeth and agree.

However, Zheng Shu didn't have that mind, in addition to not thinking of any more important needs on his side, the most important reason was that he knew very well the ability of Amakusa Shiro Shizhen's vote.

The Hanging Garden of Semiramis is indeed powerful, but there is still a gap compared to the Radiant Composite Temple, and the main gap is the "main gun".

Compared to the glowing beam cannon that the Radiant Composite Temple had fired when it tried to float from underground, the Hanging Gardens of Semiramis lacked a decisive attack.

After all, as you can tell from the name, it is essentially just a "garden", at most a "spectacle" rather than a weapon of war.

Most of the destructive power carried by the Hanging Gardens is also of a regular level, and there is still a certain degree of gap between them and the battle fortress that was specially created for battle, such as the Radiant Compound Grand Temple.

And the existence of Arash perfectly makes up for the gap between the two sides, Zheng Shu was also a member of the unconscionable Masta, and he has absolute confidence in the destructive power of the Arash Treasure, although it is only a one-time one, but it is more than enough to act as the main gun.

Just as Karna deduced, the Radiant Composite Grand Temple had exceeded the limit that a single servant could handle, and even Zheng Shu could only guarantee that he would survive at most, and it was simply wishful thinking to break through the Great Temple.

What's more, according to the information obtained from the game in his previous life, within the scope of the Radiance Compound Grand Temple, both the Servant himself and his summons can obtain otherworldly recovery abilities, and can even be called immortal.

In the plot of the game, Ra Er's head was cut off by Wang Ha, and as a result, he was still able to live a stable life.

Although Zheng Shu is strong enough, he is definitely not a crown, and if he is not a crown, he cannot give the other party the concept of death, and if he wants to forcibly kill, he can only destroy the Great Temple first.

This falls into a paradox, the reason why you want to kill the other party is because you can't destroy the Great Temple, but you can't kill the other party without destroying the Great Temple.

In a sense, a single servant like Zheng Shu is indeed a little helpless in the face of a servant of the type of Ottomandis.

Therefore, it is better to find a way to let Amakusa Shiro Shizhen and Osmandis face off first.

Zheng Shu's idea is quite simple, so he won't care about the interests of those side things, and it is better to make more preparations if there is some idle time to entangle.

Watching Karna fly away with Arash in tow, Zheng Shu turned his head to look at the others.

"How's it going?"

"It's not too good, but it's not too bad, I didn't suffer any serious damage, I just fell into weakness because of the large consumption of mana."

Red A had already checked the condition of Rin Tosaka and Sakura Makiri, but fortunately they were only a little weak and did not suffer any injuries.

"That's good." Zheng Shu nodded.

Turning his head to look at Medusa, who was still in the form of a child, to be honest, Zheng Shu's eyes couldn't help but flash a surprise when he saw Medusa's image, he didn't expect to see "Anna" in this situation.

However, with his understanding of various intelligence, Zheng Shu quickly analyzed the reason why Medusa was able to become like this.

"Thank you for your hard work, do you feel any discomfort now?"

Medusa shook her head calmly, and there was even a little happiness in her tone: "It feels good, I haven't maintained such an image for a long time." ”

Blinking, Zheng Shu suddenly remembered that Medusa had always felt inferior because of her too tall figure, so she would be quite happy to become in her current form.

After understanding this, Zheng Shu smiled helplessly, reached out and touched Medusa's head, and by the way, he infused all the remaining divinity in his body at this stage into her.

"Then work hard for you to maintain this state, because I still have to save the people on the other side, so the safety of this place is up to you for the time being."

"No problem, but Sakura seems to be a little overwhelmed." Medusa looked at Sakura Makiri, who was already too weak to open her eyes, with some concern.

After shrinking in size, her mentality seems to have become a little more childish.

"This girl ......," Zheng Shu sighed helplessly as he looked at the appearance of Jian Tong Sakura.

Came to her side and checked, on the back of her hand, the three "spells" she had drawn had been consumed two, but in the end, Kirizakura didn't move again anyway, but used her magic to support Medusa's consumption.

"Your girl's personality is really too stubborn, the things I painted for you will be consumed, it's a big deal I'll repaint it for you, it's not worth it to make yourself so weak."

Zheng Shu gently knocked on the head of Kirizakura with a hand knife, she looked up at Zheng Shu, but smiled weakly but couldn't say anything.

Sighing, Zheng Shu could only point his finger on the back of Sakura's hand, and for a moment, it was huge. And the extremely pure magic power was drawn from Zheng Shu's body, and it was transmitted to Ma Tong Sakura's body along the connection of his fingers.

On the back of his hand, the "spell" that had faded a little because of the exhaustion of magic power immediately became bright again, and Sakura Makiri. The body, which was originally weakened by the excessive consumption of mana, also recovered quickly.

Although she can't fully make up for the lack of vitality caused by her vitality, she can't fully recover, but she won't maintain the appearance of being about to fall into a coma.

"Alright, you guys hurry up and pack up and get out of here, then find a safe place to rest for a while, and I'll go and save the other two."

After confirming that several people were safe, Zheng Shu quickly left here.
