Chapter 383: Engagement and Meeting

Thundered!

The sudden tremor made Avenger, who was sitting on the ground resting, open his eyes, the sky courtyard is a floating device that uses magic to levitate, and naturally there can be no earthquake or something, so there is only one reason for the sudden earthquake.

"Are you coming?"

Avenger suddenly smiled, much faster than expected, and seemed to be ready...... Medea.

He stood up and strode out in the direction of the courtyard.

Almost at the same time, Semiramis, who was sitting on the throne, opened his eyes.

"Hmm...... It's coming. ”

Although it had long been determined that it was an enemy who would come sooner or later, it seemed that it was a little earlier, and it seemed that the magician on the other side was stronger than she expected.

After thinking about it, he used the phone to send a message to Avenger.

"Avenger, let's go ahead, I don't know what kind of flying means they used, but I don't think it's something that can withstand your attack, and you should be able to easily take out the opponent's vehicle with your bowing skills."

"While I can destroy it, it should take some time."

"What? Did the other party prepare such a painstaking technique? ”

There seemed to be something strange about the emotions that Avenger conveyed from his words.

"Just look at it."

So Semiramis projected images of the outside world onto the ceiling, and couldn't help but be speechless.

"This ......"

The appearance of the thing was too conspicuous and too easy to recognize, even through the thick fog, Semiramis immediately recognized that it was another floating fortress.

"Shiro said that they were likely to have formed an alliance, but he didn't expect to be able to share this thing...... Isn't that 'Zheng Shu' afraid that they will be attacked with the advantage of the field after they ascend the floating fortress? ”

Semiramis was a little puzzled, and in her opinion, even if both sides were allies, it would be impossible to get herself into the magic workshop that the other person had carefully arranged.

After all, once you fall into someone else's magic workshop, even the strength of the superior Servant will be greatly limited, and if another Servant attacks at this time, it is very likely that you will die on the spot.

"It looks like the other side shouldn't just be attacking this group."

Avenger glanced twice at Zheng Shu, who was standing at the top of the floating fortress opposite, and then shifted his gaze to a tall building in the distance.

"Remote support? But it's still too tender. ”

Raising his broadbow, Avenger casually pulled the bowstring and shot at the position of the servant in the tall building in the distance.

……

……

Red A is running fast on the outer wall of the tall building, trying to find a suitable position to snipe.

There weren't many of them this time, except for the two inexplicable servants who had just met, only him and that Zheng Shu attacked.

Mainly in the previous battle, Zheng Shu captured Mordred alive.

Because of some special emotions, Artoria did not kill Mordred on the spot, and neither Zheng Shu nor Medea showed indifference to this.

Before Artoria could figure out how to deal with her, she was simply held as a prisoner in Emiya's house.

Therefore, Artoria needed to guard Mordred during this battle, so she did not play with them.

At the same time, due to the lack of divine reserves, Medusa, who has lost her Anna form, also stays in the base camp, in addition to helping to take care of Mordred, but also to protect the safety of Emiya Shirou and Asakami Fujino, who have lost their combat effectiveness.

Therefore, this time, only Zheng Shu and Red A were the only two people left to attack, plus Medea and CΓΊchulainn, whom she summoned, formed a battle alliance.

"But...... That female fox has changed too much, is she really the Medea in my impression? ”

Red A was also constantly thinking when he was running, when he was still Emiya Shirou, he naturally participated in the Fifth Holy Grail War, and also met the "betrayal witch" Medea, a servant.

Either way, Red A can't see these two people as the same person.

Not only the huge difference in the level of magic between the two sides, but also the difference in personality and mentality.

Although theoretically speaking, it is very likely that the Servant will have different personality traits depending on the age at which they are summoned, this changes too much.

And it's not just Medea, this timeline is so wrong, all kinds of circumstances have changed a lot, and the culprit of these ......

Zheng Shu's face appeared in Hong A's mind.

"It seems that there has been a huge change because of the appearance of this guy, but will the inhibition really allow such a huge change in the world line?"

Red A couldn't understand that after being a wage earner for so many years, of course he knew the situation of his black-hearted boss, like Zheng Shu's situation, generally speaking, the restraining force had already sent correctors to stop him.

Thinking so, a flash of light passed through Red A's mind, and he immediately understood something, and his face stopped with an ugly face, half-hanging on the outer wall of the building.

"That corrector can't be me, right?!"

Red A's face changed drastically, thinking back to Zheng Shu's combat effectiveness, and finally decided that he didn't think of this stubble.

Sou......

Rumble!!!

Just as he was about to prepare, there was a rapid scream, a violent explosion came from overhead, followed by the debris that was knocked by the shock wave and spread out like bullets in all directions.

The upper part of the building where Red A was located suddenly appeared as if it had been hit by something, and as if it had been gnawed by some invisible monster.

"Gollum ......"

swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and a cold sweat broke out from the back of Red A.

If it weren't for the fact that he paused because he thought of something just now, according to the speed at which he moved, he would probably be dead by now.

I didn't feel the killing intent, not even the danger...... Who is it?!

Red A quickly turned his head to look at the courtyard in the distance, and sure enough, he saw Avenger in the most prominent place who was about to shoot a second arrow with his bow open.

Although there is a barrier of darkness, but seeing the casual expression on the other party's face, Red A finally knows why he didn't feel the killing intent, maybe for that person, killing himself is no different from killing an ant, and he doesn't need to show any intentions at all.

"Oh? Luckily. ”

Avenger raised an eyebrow as he watched his missed attack, although he didn't know why, but the other party did stop suddenly just now, so that his predicted blow was wrong.

But it didn't matter, the other floating fortress was still a long way away, and that time was enough for him to take out that enemy.

With his bow and arrows in his hand again, he fired three arrows at once and flew towards Red A, who had jumped off the building.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Just as he was about to hit Red A, a purple transparent flower bloomed in front of him, helping Red A block three arrows, but at the cost of only two petals left of the flower.

"Monster ......"

With a trembling arm, Red A withdrew the Seven Rings (Rho Aias) that had just been projected, feeling the power that still shocked his body even with the isolation of this precious plyptoon, and his face became ugly.

The pupils lit up, and Red A used the Enhanced Magic Limit to strengthen her eyesight, and in addition to paying attention to the opponent's movements, she also quickly calculated the distance between herself and the enemy.

"Nine kilometers...... This guy wasn't summoned by the Archer class yet? Are you kidding?! ”

If it weren't for his rich combat experience and firm mind, Red A's mentality might have collapsed now, and his accurate shooting range as an Archer rank was only four kilometers, and the guy in the distance actually casually taught him a lesson with shooting skills that exceeded his own range.

While thinking about it, three more arrows came at the same time.

Red A didn't have time to think too much, so he could only project a black longbow in his hand, and then project a spiral sword to shoot at the opponent.

Rumble!

One arrow collided with the spiral sword and burst into bright fire, and the other two deviated from their original trajectory under the interference of the shock wave, grazing Red A's body and flying out.

"Ahem!"

Red A was also affected by the shock wave, and his originally falling body fell to the ground at a faster speed, because the explosion was too close, and his internal organs were also slightly damaged, but he quickly left the place before he had time to rest.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The continuous explosions followed the trajectory of Red A, and he felt like a flea being chased and fled in all directions, if it weren't for his flexible movements and constantly changing the trajectory of his movements, he might have been killed long ago.

In this process, Red A did not find a way to counterattack, but the distance between the two sides was too far, exceeding his maximum range, and the arrows shot out were not even enemies, and even the aerial courtyard did not hit.

Finally, when Red A felt a little accustomed to the enemy's firing frequency, an arrow that was pitch black and silently flying in the air at subsonic speed suddenly "floated" to his side.

"What...... Suffered! ”

Burst! Burst!

Blood splattered.

Although Red A dodged urgently, the other two subsonic arrows hidden in the darkness still hit his thighs, rendering him incapacitated for a short time.

"It's over!"

Red A's pale face projected the Seven Rings that covered the Blazing Sky, but he had already anticipated his own end, and he would eventually be shot to pieces in the face of the enemy's continuous sniping without being able to move quickly.

……

There was a moment of silence in the air, and after waiting for a long time without waiting for his own death, Red A looked at the sky courtyard in the distance with some surprise.

There, in addition to the servant who had been sniping at him just now, there was another tall figure.

"That guy...... It's fast. ”

Red A breathed a sigh of relief and hid his body in the darkness, withstanding the pain and pulling out the arrow and quickly treating the wound.

……

……

On the courtyard in the sky, Zheng Shu looked at the servant in front of him, and the corners of his eyes jumped unconsciously.

"Long time no see, Zheng Shu."

Unexpectedly, it was Avenger who was the first to greet Zheng Shu, and his tone seemed to be very familiar with Zheng Shu.

"It hasn't been too long for me." Zheng Shu looked the other party's body looking a little "thin" up and down, with a puzzled expression, "But it's true that I almost didn't recognize you, how did your body become like this, Hercules?" ”

"Hahahaha, it's really a bit ridiculous to hear this name again, my change is indeed a bit big."

Avenger…… Or Hercules smiled bitterly, reached out and touched his body, which looked a little thin compared to Zheng Shu.

It stands to reason that Zheng Shu's current strengthening template is mainly based on Hercules' evolution, so the physical fitness and body shape of both sides should be about the same.

But the actual situation is that Zheng Shu is now more than two and a half meters tall, and he is so strong that he looks like a mountain of meat.

But Hercules not only shrunk to a height of more than two meters, but also looked very thin in terms of proportion, although the actual muscle mass was enough to make people feel amazing, but compared to Zheng Shu, he was a little too thin.

"I wasn't very lucky, although I was summoned in advance as an Assassin, but I didn't expect modern magicians to be so bold and use me as a filter to filter out the black mud of the Holy Grail."

Hercules stretched his body, as if he was warming up, and Zheng Shu opposite him made a similar move.

Looking at Zheng Shu's preparatory actions that were obviously the same as his own teacher, Hercules' face showed a nostalgic smile, and his words continued.

"Because the original master used the three-stroke spell strongly, even I could only accept the erosion of black mud, which led to the other side of my body - hating the Greek gods who had orchestrated the tragedy of my life, and also had a negative attitude towards Hercules as the other side of myself, believing that in the end, I committed suicide due to the poisonous pain of Xudra, and violated the other side of the original oath of 'suffering'."

Zheng Shu was a little silent when he heard this, and only slowly spoke after a long time:

"I see, no wonder we didn't feel the divinity in you, I'm afraid it's the excessive hatred of the gods, so that you, the top demigod, have completely lost their due divinity."

Under normal circumstances, the Holy Grail War cannot summon gods, so at most, it can only summon Medusa, who is born as a monster, and Hercules, a top-level demigod who is about to be promoted to a god.

Including Zheng Shu and Karna, their divinity was demoted when they were summoned, so they were able to be summoned.

"And what are your wishes now?"

"Wish...... Presumably, I hope that the Holy Grail will erase my name and allow me to take revenge on the gods as a human being. ”

Hercules looked up at the sky, where the constellations of stars shimmered continuously, and that was where Hercules' hated Greek gods were located.

"As a human being......"

After Zheng Shu figured out Hercules' logic, he suddenly apologized to him: "I'm sorry, in this case, I should call you Alkades." ”

Alcastes is the name of Hercules, the name "Hercules" means "the glory of Hera", and his mother was afraid that the birth of the son of Zeus would attract Hera's jealousy, but of course it turned out to be useless.

So "Alcastes" became the name of "Hercules", an individual who was a "human".

Alcastes smiled heartily when he heard this.

"Now I'm finally sure that it's indeed you I've met, after all, only 'Zheng Shu' would be so gentle."

Zheng Shu rolled his eyes, and after making the preparatory moves, he assumed a fighting pose.

"What? Listen to what you mean, are you planning to make way for me? ”

"That's not going to work, I haven't had a good fight with you, and it's been a long time since you left that I've met someone who can make me fight."

Alcardes laughed loudly, and there was a lot of emotion in his laughter.

For him, who has been showing a gloomy image since becoming Avenger, such a performance is too rare.

"Are you sure? In your current state, don't let me make you cry. ”

"Hahahaha! Come on! ”

Rumble!!!

As if a heavy aerial bomb had been detonated, the hemispherical transparent shock wave visible to the naked eye rapidly expanded, and soon enveloped the entire aerial courtyard and flew towards the farther space.

The masonry shattered, the trees fell, and the lake evaporated...... In just an instant, the seemingly luxurious and beautiful sky courtyard became a mess, and all objects that exceeded a certain height were blasted into slag, and even with the protection of magic, radial patterns appeared on the ground visible to the naked eye.

And in the center of the radial pattern on the ground, the figures of Zheng Shu and Alcades appeared here at some point, the two of them were wrestling with each other, and the shock wave just now was the aftermath of their fist power.

"I didn't expect you to become like this, your strength is not weak."

"Hey! There is a price to pay for underestimating me, be careful not to be beaten by me, junior brother! ”

After a brief exchange, the two men attacked each other with their fists without flinching, and at the same time, surging shockwaves emanated from the continuous aerial courtyard.

Although the light of the magic circle quickly lit up, protecting the entire structure of the Sky Courtyard, the Sky Courtyard, which originally looked gorgeous, still began to tremble, as if it was about to disintegrate in the next moment.

At the same time, the eleven huge black coffins that had been floating in the sky courtyard also came into action, and they changed from the original vertical floating image to horizontal, converging into floating cannon barrels in front of the sky courtyard and preparing to fire.
