Chapter 375: Treasure Liberation
With the help of the "cover" of the flying golems around them, Karna and Arash finally managed to land on the Grand Temple of Radiant Composite after breaking through the pyramid that crashed into them.
They landed on a wide avenue, and at the end of the road was the main temple where the Sun King Osmandis himself sit, flanked by various temples and pyramids that looked like they were guarding the main temple.
The battle between the Pyramids and the Golems in the Heavens continues, and the Golems charge towards the Radiant Compound Temple in groups, some of them are able to dodge the combined attacks of the Pyramid and the Light Cannon, and successfully release the Golem of the Nature, which is protected in the deepest depths.
Some could not find a gap in the attack, so they were forced to turn around and look for other opportunities. Others simply detonate the hydrogen bomb before they are hit, clearing the pyramid as much as possible to buy time for their companions.
The deafening roar continued, and the sky continued to burst with the light of the sun, and the Radiant Composite Temple kept shaking, some because of the hydrogen bomb that detonated after approaching, and some because of the pyramids that were constantly being released.
The number of golems is declining rapidly, and special golems with hydrogen bombs are the focus of attention, but the golems' sacrifices are not meaningless.
Although it didn't cause as much damage as the previous explosion, the Radiant Compound Grand Temple's inherent barrier was undoubtedly shrinking rapidly, and the rate of reduction was astonishing.
Each nuclear bomb removed required a huge amount of mass and energy, and the war between the two sides somehow turned into a pure resource drain.
Seeing that the number of golems above them was getting smaller and smaller, Karna and Arash did not hesitate to charge forward, knowing that they wanted to rush into the other party's temple as much as possible while most of Ottomandis's forces were attracted by the enemy above.
However, for these two servants, Osmandis was also prepared, and as they ran towards the main temple, the sphinx's figure began to appear on the side of the surrounding road.
"Roar!"
Rumble!
Karna held the Immortal Spear in front of him, and with a wave of his hand, the terrifying magic power was released, burning the Sphinx in front of him to ashes, and this holy beast with a strength comparable to that of an ordinary servant lost its life.
Buzz!
And Arash also shot at the same moment, firing three arrows, knocking down several sphinxes that suddenly appeared behind the two of them and tried to sneak attack at the same time.
But soon, the Radiant Compound Grand Temple showed its own difficulty.
The ashes that had been burned by Karna with the flames of the sun quickly gathered under an invisible force, and in the next moment, an invisible force flashed, and the ashes changed back to the form of the sphinx.
The three sphinxes that had been put down by Arash shook their heads and stood up, the wounds that pierced their brains began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Without the slightest hesitation, the fully recovered four Sphinxes immediately joined the group besieging the two.
And as time went by, the number of holy beasts besieging the two became more and more, and even those as strong as Karna felt a little struggling.
“Archer!”
Karna shouted, and Arash immediately understood what the other party was planning.
No longer distracted by the behemoths that were trying to besiege him, the physical arrows appeared in his hands, and he calmly aimed at the main temple in the distance.
Rumble!!!
Terrifying flames were released from Karna's body, and under his control, they instantly turned into a sea of fire, forcing all the creatures within a hundred meters of the surrounding area back, and it was a magic release that exceeded the limit.
The excessive use of magic power even caused damage to a body of Karna's level, although he recovered quickly under the effect of the golden armor, but it also represented how powerful the blow he had just hit was.
And under the deliberate protection of Karna, Arash, who was not affected in any way, also launched his own attack at this time.
With the help of clairvoyance skills, which can accurately grasp the position of enemies, and the help of the sun flame that Karna used to attach to the arrows with the last of his energy, Arash used all of this power to shoot dozens of arrows infused with his own killing will, relying on the precious opportunity that Karna had won.
Click! Click! Click!
The arrow was lost two thousand meters away and went straight to the main temple, piercing the inner and outer walls of the temple in one fell swoop.
Even though the outer walls of the temple were covered with Hittite, which could resist even in the face of military treasures, it was still shattered by the fire of these arrows, and the heart, spirit core, and skull of the proudly throned Osmandis were pierced in one fell swoop.
However, the surrounding swarms of sphinxes that attack can all possess infinitely regenerated immortal bodies, and Osmandis, who is the lord of the Grand Temple, is naturally even more so, although he was completely nailed to the throne, he was regenerated in an instant, just like the screen was reversed.
Bite!
When Semiramis's arrows with magic runes inscribed with magic runes fell to the ground, Osmandis sat on his throne and burst into laughter, revealing the absoluteness of his infinite regeneration.
"Hahahaha! Useless, useless, no plan, nothing is desirable, my body is not dead, no one can hurt my body in the slightest, the power of the Great Temple, you can experience it well! ”
Arash saw this clearly, and his clairvoyance could clearly see what was going on with the other party.
"Is it the protection of the ancient gods? Or was it the natural strength of the pharaoh Ottomandis? Or is it a new treasure that he has sublimated into the body of a god who is also a king? ”
Arash pondered the possibilities in his own heart, and the strength of the other party was obvious to all, and his majesty as a king was very different from the other kings he had seen in his lifetime.
As far as the bystanders are concerned, it is only a matter of time before the two servants who have gone deep into the Great Temple fail.
The number of Sphinxes is no longer increasing, but it has reached the number of twelve, and among them, there are two Sphinxes that are significantly larger than the other Sphinxes, and the Starry Sky Sphinx, whose body is azure and has a sparkling starlight.
If the combat power of ordinary sphinxes can only be equal to that of low-level servants, then the sphinx is enough to fight with high-level servants, and the top-level starry sky sphinx, even Arash will feel difficult in one-on-one situations.
Relying on Karna's extraordinary combat power, the two of them had already killed these twelve holy beasts three times in a short period of time, but the other party was still able to quickly regenerate and pounce again, without revealing any limitations of resurrection.
After entering the Great Temple, the two of them had already discovered that their treasures were sealed and could not be used at all, if it weren't for Karna's magic spear and golden armor being permanent treasures, maybe he would only be able to fight with his bare hands now.
However, without the explosive destructive power provided by the Noble Phantasm, even if Karna unleashed the magic power on the premise of damaging himself, he could only temporarily force the surrounding enemies back.
Arash knew that as long as the twelve holy beasts were still attacking, his two servants could only fight endlessly with the trapped beasts, and sniping Osmandis itself was an attempt to break the situation, but it was obvious that it didn't work well.
If there is a war between countries, then it is time to retreat, and if it is to cover the refuge of civilians, it should be a dilemma.
However, this situation is slightly different from his own life, there are no soldiers or civilians who should be born to protect here, only heroes who are equally brave except for themselves!
“Lancer!”
Arash dodged the sphinx's magically hot hook and fired fifty arrows at the same time, scattering the firestorm that the other sphinx spat out.
When he spoke to Karna, in the next instant, Arash's figure was already on the ceiling of the temple on the other side, which was about a few dozen meters above the floor.
"Well, how long can you hold on?"
As he said this, Arash dodged the pounce of several sphinxes.
"I'm fine, but it's going to take a few minutes for Assassin's support."
Wielding the indestructible spear in his hand, he swept through the sphinxes around him at the same time, turned the gun sideways to block the fierce blow of the starry sky sphinx, and by the way, he also used his magic power to release a white light cannon that smashed the other side.
Although he was taken care of by the enemy, Karna's state seemed more relaxed.
"A few minutes? It's too hard for a strong man. Arash smiled wryly.
The current situation no longer gives him a chance to distance himself to snipe, and it is completely hand-to-hand combat to the end.
Avoiding the outstretched minions again, Arash took the opportunity to cling to the lion-like body of the giant beast, clenched the arrow made of magic in his right hand, and without hesitation, plunged into the head of the huge human face, and in the blink of an eye, he pierced through the brain and destroyed the spirit core.
After releasing one of the phantom beasts, Arash did not hesitate to dodge the oncoming attacks, handing over the two of them to Karna while he himself fired arrows at the three farther back.
This battle had been going on for so long that Arash couldn't even remember how many times he had killed.
He can be called invincible in the world in his own time, and he thought that he could be regarded as a strong man even among the servants, even in the face of modern powerful weapons.
The cluster of phantom beasts in front of him, each of them was a symbol of fire and storm, an innate destroyer, and Arash didn't dare to slack off even for a fraction of a second, the fangs, the sharp claws, the breath, every attack was enough to destroy the body made of ether.
A single blow is fatal, so all attacks must be parried or dodged, or killed before the enemy arrives, and although it may seem like a continuous fight without injury, there is no doubt that they are always being consumed.
"It's a bit difficult to hold on for the remaining minutes."
More than twenty minutes have passed since the beginning of the battle on the Grand Temple, and every attack of this group of phantom beasts requires the full efforts of the two Servants, but no matter how powerful the Servant's own magic power is, it is the magic power of the Master that maintains its activities.
In other words, it is the magic circuit of humans, and Karna is good to say that although the energy supply in the body has changed from the Great Holy Grail to the magic furnace, there is still no need to worry about the problem of magic power in a short period of time without using the "low power" operation of the treasure device.
But what about your own master?
Although Arash had never met his master, he knew very well that he was probably panting from the rapidly depleted mana inside the Floating City.
And there is more to it than that.
The interior of the Grand Temple was not a peaceful place - especially for the invaders, it was filled with the curse of the ancient Egyptian gods, and the mere presence of the two would be subject to constant erosion.
If it were an ordinary creature, even a creature as strong as a bison would be weakened to death by various toxins in just two seconds.
It also has a fairly obvious effect on these two physically strong servants, and the parameters of the maximum ability value have decreased one after another, and even their own skills will be weakened.
"What a novel experience, this is the first time I've experienced poison to my fingers."
After Arash shot a few more arrows, he felt the discomfort in his body and the numbness of his fingers, and his eyes revealed a look of surprise.
According to myths and legends, Arash possessed a physical body that was resistant to all diseases and toxins.
However, even with his inhuman body, under the curse of the gods, blood remained at the corners of his mouth, and every breath seemed to burn in his lungs.
Arash didn't know much about Karna's state, but judging by his apparently sluggish movements, Karna had taken a lot of damage even with the golden armor.
"In five seconds, please use the Noble Phantasm."
The woman's voice sounded in her head, and Karna's eruption began at the same time, and the almost endless flames of the sun poured out of her body and wrapped around the spear, aiming at the position that she had already looked forward to, and threw the spear in her hand.
Although he was unable to release the Noble Phantasm, Karna was still able to throw spears, albeit with less power, but that was enough for now.
Rumble!!!
It was a roar that resounded through the Great Temple, like the shaking of a great earthquake, and even the huge pillars erected in the corridor of the Great Temple had already cracked slightly, even the giant beasts in the cluster couldn't help but show a little timidity.
However, it was not the destruction caused by Karna, but by a nuclear bomb that once again broke through the siege and descended on the Grand Temple, and Karna's previous attack opened the way for the golem to make the final path.
Arash also immediately sensed that the perfect time had arrived as foreseen by his clairvoyance—the fateful moment had come.
He had already known everything that was happening in advance with clairvoyance, so he had already been mentally prepared.
“…… Good! ”
The resolute voice responded to the expectations of his companions, and the slight hesitation was not fear but nostalgia.
Beside him was Lancer, whose hands were wrapped around flames, and the golden flames of the sun formed a wing-like shape behind him, slowly enveloping all enemies around him.
Even if he briefly lost his spear, Karna's combat power in hand-to-hand combat was still not weak, and it could even be said that this servant himself had no flaws and was a perfect warrior.
What a powerful and beautiful power......
Even if they had lost their weapons, the power they had revealed still made those phantom beasts incarnated of hideousness and tyranny retreat in fear, if it weren't for the current situation, I really wanted to see satisfaction until it was satisfied.
It's a pity that my time has come, and now I can only do my best.
The crimson bow was full, and several arrows were fired to kill the phantom beast that had just been resurrected and was about to block its way, and Arash ran in a certain direction without hesitation.
Behind him, Karna also fought and retreated, guarding his path.
Rumble!
A beam of purple magical artillery bombardment flew from the sky in the distance, and even after just withstanding a round of nuclear explosions, the autonomous air defense system of the Radiant Composite Grand Temple still reacted quickly, and quickly spotted this sudden attack and responded to it.
Several white cannons of light were fired, flying towards the purple attack in a cross-parade manner, and the few remaining pyramids were also called out of a path that quickly moved towards the path of the purple cannons, trying to protect them with their massive bodies.
Buzz Buzz......
With the sound of wings vibrating through the clouds, a group of winged dragontooth soldiers suddenly appeared from the dense fog, and their number was at least a thousand, which were the improved dragon wings summoned by Semiramis before.
At this critical moment, these "miscellaneous soldiers" who had been hiding in the shadows played their role, and they desperately blocked in front of the white light cannon, using their bodies as a barrier to continuously wear down the power of the light cannon.
As for the pyramid that had been mobilized, the golems that had been swaying around the periphery in a swaying posture suddenly moved rapidly, no longer caring about the consumption of energy, and turned on the pyramid made of huge rocks.
Without any contact, Semiramis and Medea completed a collaboration in an instant, confirming the idea of prioritizing the removal of the mighty Pharaoh from the fray.
With the cooperation of the two parties, the purple light cannon finally fell into the interior of the Radiant Composite Temple, but it did not cause any damage.
The purple energy disappeared the moment it touched the inherent barrier, like a drop of water merging into the sea, as if it had no effect.
However, Arash knew very well, although he did not explicitly state it, but he could clearly appreciate the effect of this purple energy.
Although it is only for a moment, it can neutralize the ability of the treasure seal inside the Great Temple, and even the curse of the gods can be erased.
And all of this worked thanks to the fact that the initial nuclear explosion caused an indelible scar on the inherent barrier, and even though the appearance had been completely repaired, there were still "rifts" in that place.
The place where Arash and Karna went was the location where the nuclear explosion first began, and the effect of purple energy would be at its strongest here, causing a "void" to appear within the inherent barrier for a short period of time, allowing the two to be shrouded in the concept of "Present" during this time.
At the same time, the Pharaoh Osmandis, who was sitting leisurely in the main temple, suddenly clenched his right hand into a fist.
It was obvious what was going on inside his own temple, and why the intruders had come.
And what kind of countermeasures should be implemented at the moment was also clear to the Pharaoh, and at this moment, the king of the sun had a premonition of the end of the battle.
"It can only last for a few seconds, but it can break through Yu's inherent barrier." The corners of his mouth twisted slightly, and Osmandis smiled, an expression of praise for the strong and an expression of confidence in his victory.
"O son of the gods of yesteryear, and Persian archers who heard this...... What an amazing rebellion. Even so, Yu, the king of kings, had to respond with all his might. ”
At this moment, the power furnace inside the main temple has been overloaded, and the magic power that the Ise Trinity can supply has become very small, although it is a little unpleasant, but in the face of two good enemies, he can still achieve such an achievement, and his master has worked very hard.
So then, it's time for him to come on the scene.
“…… O Meri-Amun. ”
Osmandis lowered his right hand, in short, this is not just the liberation of the real name of the Noble Phantasm, but also a declaration of condemnation.
The great ball of electricity that had unleashed Dendra's supernatural power reappeared, and the scorching heat of the sky filled the entire temple.
Accompanied by the will of Ottomandis, the electric orb unleashed a blinding light, ready to slaughter all the enemies who disobeyed the gods once again.
“Archer…… Please. ”
An unfamiliar voice sounded from Arash's heart, it was not an illusion or anything like that, there was no doubt that it was the voice of his own master.
It is a silent conversation that can only be heard by making a contract with each other, and can cross long distances.
"Great."
A smile of relief appeared on Arash's face, he was not stupid, even extremely intelligent, and he had all sorts of bad premonitions from the fact that his lord had never shown his face.
However, given Amakusa Shiro's character, Arash is still willing to believe that he has not done anything bad to his master, and is willing to help him.
And at the end of this final, being able to hear the voice of his master also showed that his guess was correct.
Although Arash and his master are actually two strangers in terms of relationship, if they can confirm that one more life is alive, it can be regarded as good news before their demise.
The "big hero" thought with so much relief.
In the next moment, the little magic power left in his body instantly increased and expanded, allowing Arash to recover to its best, even surpassing its peak.
It's a spell, and it's three strokes at the same time.
This is a testament to the contract from the Great Grail, which has a store of mana far beyond the limits of an individual magician, and can also be turned into an extremely powerful weapon.
For example...... Right now!
This is an absolute order urging him to use the Noble Phantasm's true name to liberate, and if he complies with this order and uses the Noble Phantasm at this time, he should be able to exert unprecedented power.
"The most holy Allah like the sun......"
The opening beyond the limit turned into a scarlet bow at some point, and he felt the magic of his whole body, and weaved words at the right time.
Arash opened his lips naturally, and this was the second time he had said such words.
(I don't want to break the context, you have to trust me!) )
