Boom!

The hard fist slammed into the face of the opposing enemy mercilessly, and he was also seized by the opponent to smash the soft underbelly on one side with a punch.

I can't say who had the advantage in this blow, but there was joy in killing each other.

Alcardes wants the moment to last forever and to end it a second sooner.

At this point in the battle, the attacks between the two sides have become extremely aggressive, and there is no extra space or carelessness at all, and the parts that are aimed at the top of the attack are all critical, or all feints to be able to carry out the next wave of attacks.

It's the pinnacle of martial arts, and Alcardes has no doubt that it's a reproduction of the skills he's honed all his life.

In comparison, his opponent's technique is a bit rough.

In fact, Zheng Shu's fighting skills are not bad, after all, he has undergone strict training by Keron, and he has been practicing continuously in the ten years since he came to the modern society, even among the heroes of ancient Greece in the god generation, he can be regarded as extremely skilled.

But it also depends on who he compares to, Alcastes' talent is beyond ordinary people, not to mention that he has spent almost all his life in battles with strong enemies, and his various skills have surpassed the level of mortals.

For example, Medusa's dimensional leap movement that requires the use of enhanced magic to use, or Sasaki Kojiro's ability to practice a lifetime of Tsubashi, he can easily simulate it with his own body.

In comparison, Zheng Shu can only be regarded as a superb fighting skill among "humans", and in front of Alcardes, he is as powerless as a child.

But...... The two are still evenly matched.

In the final analysis, it is Zheng Shu's defense beyond ordinary people.

Alcastes did wear invulnerable lion fur, but due to the Noble Phantasm, the effectiveness of the fur itself has been diminished.

From the original all-round defense, after being impregnated with black mud, it has simply become a reason that can deny human beings, rejecting all props from human civilization, but it has no effect on attacks that come directly from the flesh without using weapons.

To put it simply, Alcardus's cloak is completely immune to the damage of the treasure, but against a fist-and-flesh attack like Zheng Shu, he can only use his own body to carry it.

And Zheng Shu does not have such a flaw, although his defense power still has a certain upper limit due to the limitation of the Servant Lingji, and Alkades' fist power can also make him feel pain, but this ability is enough for Zheng Shu to have a lot of advantages in this fight.

Boom!

Another unfettered punch, both sides retreated at the same time with the power coming from their arms, and briefly confronted each other for a moment.

Zheng Shu moved his fist, feeling the tingling sensation coming from his fingers, and his heart became more and more excited—he hadn't felt pain in a long time.

It is no exaggeration to say that every punch of Alcastes is comparable to the full liberation of A+ rank Noble Phantasm, and the magic power released by Karna with all his strength is estimated to be at this level.

But compared to the release of magic power restrained by Zheng Shu's divine armament, such an unpretentious fist was more likely to make him feel pain.

And in addition to these, Zheng Shu could also feel that every time he came into contact with Alcardus, the magic in his body would be absorbed, and there would be a wonderful tingling sensation on the surface of his body that came into contact with the other party, feeling as if it had been corroded.

That's the special nature of the Avenger class, which can draw power from the things you hate and erode them.

Alcastes hated the gods of ancient Greece who arranged all his life and made him suffer a lot, and even all the existence containing divinity would be hated and restrained by him, and the higher the level of divinity, the more obvious the restraint became.

Zheng Shu grinned, and suddenly felt a little funny.

Although in my previous life, I had always ridiculed the divinity of the Moon World as a Debuff (negative state), but I didn't expect to be able to really experience this feeling.

"Sure enough, this is the characteristic of the Moon World, I have to taste it."

teasing in his heart, Zheng Shu had already seized this short opportunity to adjust his breath.

Looking up at the opposite side, Alcades had also re-put on a fighting stance, and it seemed that the other side was ready.

However, he smiled tacitly, and when he was about to continue fighting, his face suddenly changed.

Alcardes, in particular, felt a terrible palpitation suddenly envelop his body and mind, and small bumps stood on the skin of his whole body.

Rumble!!!

The massive pillar of rock slammed through the air and hit his chest with a shocking wave of air.

The surging force squeezed his bones all over his body, making a palpitating cracking sound, and the front of the rock pillar completely shattered, enveloping him as he smashed through the façade of the church, which had been carefully guarded by magic in the distance, and flew into the hall.

The wooden door with the elaborate carved statue was torn like pieces of paper, and if the large roof beams and pillars were broken on the spot, the roof of the entire church slumped down, and the heavy tiles fell and shattered on the ground.

"Ahem!"

The sound of coughing came from the rubble, and Alcastes flew the rock shards off his body and stepped out of the rubble through the billowing smoke.

Fine dust drifted around him, wandering along his movements, long lines pulled through the air by the cloak.

By the time he stepped out of the door, the church, which had lost its columns, could no longer hold it and collapsed.

"Huh! It's so intense. ”

Zheng Shu didn't hurry up to attack Alcades, but turned his head to look at the rock giant who was fighting with the black coffin.

The rock pillar that smashed into them just now was one of the black coffins that was broken by the rock giant, and before they knew it, the six black coffins had converged in front of the air courtyard, forming a huge cannon barrel to store energy.

Standing on the courtyard in the air, Zheng Shu could clearly feel the strong energy fluctuations emanating from the barrel, although there was still a gap compared to the Dandra big electric ball, it had also surpassed the limit of the military-level treasure and reached the city level.

"Looks like we're going to pick things up too."

"Oh! You seem to have a lot of confidence in yourself, that's great. Alkades also walked to the side.

The two of them, who were still fighting hard just now, are now standing side by side like friends, looking at the glorious scene.

"Hey, you don't come, you are proficient in all eighteen martial arts!"

"Hmm...... In fact, there is still some attenuation, because of the limitations of the Servant Spirit Base, at least my skills in using weapons have declined significantly, leaving only pure fighting skills. ”

"That alone is enough to overwhelm me."

"Look at what you said, this abnormal defense in your body still exists."

Both sides grinned hideously, but even so, they still made fist contact with each other as a final rite of courtesy.

In this Holy Grail War, both of them have their own goals and missions, so they can only kill themselves, but they also think that this is good.

Alcádes moved his wrist after distancing himself from Zheng Shu again, obviously Zheng Shu had heard the sound of bone cracking from his body just now, but he didn't show any injuries now, as if all the injuries had healed in an instant.

"It's no big deal, it's a power of my Noble Phantasm Twelve Glory."

Alcardes saw Zheng Shu's doubts, shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and answered his question.

This is the ability he took from his mentor Charon in the suffering he endured in his life, and it is the "immortality" that this centaur sage originally possessed, and nothing else.

The centaur sage with immortal power was there, and Alcardes' body was invaded by the Hydra toxin, because he could not bear the severe pain in his body and was tormented in his heart, Caron begged Alcastes to transfer his immortality to Prometheus and died.

Therefore, although Alcastes lost the twelve lives possessed by other ranks after being converted to Avenger, the immortality he held before being transferred to Prometheus was also transformed into one of the Noble Phantasms and stored in Alcastes' body in a form that was absolutely immortal.

Of course, this Noble Phantasm is not without a price, and once it is activated, it means that Alkades will suffer the same pain that Charon once endured.

Even Hercules couldn't bear the pain of choosing death in the end, and he was still suffering without interruption, but under the influence of the black mud, these pains turned into his strength, maintaining a state of canceling each other.

“…… You...... How long can it last? ”

Zheng Shu was silent for a moment, and suddenly understood the current state of his friend.

Judging from the description of the other party, it is clear that the power of this treasure is the same as Karna's golden armor, and it belongs to a passively activated treasure phantasm.

This meant that Alcastes had been suffering a great deal since he was transformed into Avenger, and even now that pain has tormented his spirit.

Although with the help of Avenger's class characteristics, he was able to turn his pain into strength and make up for his physical shortcomings, but the mental exhaustion was irreparable.

Alcastes was able to maintain his spirit as usual now, probably relying on his vengeance to resist, but even then he couldn't hold out for long, after all, it was a severe pain that he didn't resist for too long in his heyday.

"It's not much, maybe five or six hours left."

Alcastes replied indifferently, his tone still fearless, as if there was no pain in his body.

"Is that so? Looks like I'm right, we're running out of time. ”

Zheng Shu sighed, his eyes became sharp, and his body began to surge with surging magic.

"Oh! It's this momentum, I thought that living in this society for so long completely wiped out your heart, but I didn't expect it to increase instead of decreasing. How? You didn't show such momentum when you fought me before, are you kid underestimating me? ”

"What nonsense, you should be underestimating me, right? With such a broken spirit, you dare to invite me to fight to the death, I am really flattened by you! ”

The skin on Zheng Shu's body began to fluctuate, the muscles continued to bulge, and the whole person looked like a circle out of thin air, and the solid muscles like steel bars supported visible marks under the skin.

"Haha, it seems to be a little."

Alcardes smiled indifferently, glanced at the ruins next to him, and casually lifted the remains of the sarcophagus that had blasted him away.

Calming down and lifting his breath, the muscles on his body also bulged one by one, and the power of his body flowed like water waves to the sarcophagus, and then suddenly threw it towards Zheng Shu.

Rumble!

A detonation sounded like a heavy artillery launch, and a white mist rippled through the air, which quickly dissipated.

The massive sarcophagus wreckage flew out of Alcades' hands with terrifying power, tearing through the airflow.

Although the body is just a stone, it is filled with the magic of Alcadus, and it is probably several times harder than steel at the moment.

Zheng Shu stepped forward suddenly, making a standard straight fist stance, and smashed the rock bigger than his body head-on.

Before the dust of the rock shattered cleared, Alcardus's figure had already appeared in front of Zheng Shu, a movement technique that surpassed ordinary comprehension, allowing Alcardus to achieve a spatial jump effect with the power of his flesh.

However, Zheng Shu had been prepared for this, and the moment Alcardes hit the punch into Zheng Shu's head, his uppercut also hit Alcardus' liver at the same time.

There was no hysterical yelling, no feints, and both sides completely abandoned the act of "defense" and attacked each other in an almost beastly manner.

If it's an ordinary servant, the blow just now should be able to tell the winner.

Ordinary people would be smashed to the head by Alcades' straight punch, but after Zheng Shu's uppercut hit hit the abdomen, not to mention the liver, even all the internal organs in the body would turn into ground meat.

Even if a relatively powerful servant carried the blow just now, it would be impossible to stand up again, even a top-level existence with golden armor like Karna should not be able to recover in a short period of time after eating this punch from the two of them.

Boom Boom ......

Both of them shook their fists in silence at the same time, as if they were about to shatter the world.

The waves of flesh and blood generated by the collision of flesh and flesh rushed to the face, and the vigorous blood and qi came out of the body, and the constantly rising body temperature seemed to set the surrounding air on fire.

Alkades and Zheng Shu's fists are completely two styles.

Zheng Shu aimed at Alcardes' head with the fastest speed in a straight line and threw a punch, which fully embodied the so-called one-hit kill.

Alcardes, on the other hand, locked on to the vital points of Zheng Shu's body, playing with the enemy with a kaleidoscopic combination of attacks, but it was indeed a fist that wanted to kill the opponent.

Alkades kept calculating in his heart that Zheng Shu's fist should be extremely powerful, but it was undeniable that his attack was too direct, of course, this was also due to the overwhelming strength he should have at this stage.

But in any case, the flaw is too big for Alcades, and he only needs to use enough actions beyond Zheng Shu's prediction to be able to create a tangible breakthrough, which is a technique that Alcades, who has experienced a lot of battles, can use, and it is the best tactic to gain an advantage in battles between heroes.

Zheng Shu naturally knew his intentions, but he still attacked wildly, because he knew very well that if he retreated at this time, he would lose all his ability to resist.

Boom!

He strode forward, and the ground instantly cracked into a huge spiderweb-like crack, and then he turned around, pinched his five fingers, and blasted out with a punch!

Alkades also did not hesitate to attack, and the magic power exploded like flames, and light black lines flashed on his body, and his whole body was pitch black.

There was a sudden force under his feet, and the masonry shattered into slag, transmitting a huge amount of power to the fist.

Rumble!

The storm howled, the air exploded, and it looked like two giant engineering hammers colliding together.

The overflowing power danced like a wild beast, and the earth, which had been protected by magic, was like an earthquake, creating ripples like water.

A radius of tens of meters sank a few inches in unison, used as a courtyard in the air, and the huge rocks on the floor of the square were all blown apart, and a regular deep pit was blown out around the two.

In this battle, Alcades was slightly inferior in the end, and his body was smashed out of the air, rolling on the ground and plowing dozens of meters long.

It wasn't until he hit the ruins of the church that he was able to transfer the power from his body and stop.

And taking advantage of this gap, Zheng Shu kicked the largest piece of sarcophagus wreckage next to him.

The one-man-tall boulder shattered in response, and under Zheng Shu's deliberate control, it shattered into countless diamond-shaped rubble, shooting towards Alcades like a heavy shotgun.

The shattered rocks rushed to his face in the billowing waves, and the vigorous magic almost came out of his body, and Alcádes had no choice but to make a protective posture, after all, even if he was hit by a rock strengthened by magic, he would suffer.

This moment of chaos made Alcades, who was originally going to continue the attack, take a step back, and then found that Zheng Shu had actually come to him.

A punch was thrown, but Zheng Shu did not fight hard as usual, but suddenly twisted his body and rushed into Alcardes's arms after dodging the punch.

"Bad ......"

Alcades didn't have time to think about it, and a knee hit tried to knock the close-fitting Zheng Shu away, but Zheng Shu had already hugged his knee with both hands.

Of course, in this process, it was naturally Alcades' knee that hit Zheng Shu's face a split second.

But Zheng Shu endured the pain and still held his right knee and threw him backwards.

Alcádes felt his flesh being tossed like a toy, and his face slammed to the ground.

In this way, the two of them received the same damage, but the problem was the posture, Zheng Shu, who used a reflexive throw, twisted Alkades' ankle without leaving a gap, intending to use a joint technique.

Although Alkades immediately sensed his intentions and spun his body quickly, Zheng Shu still aimed at his knees, intending to destroy his mobility first, so he twisted his heels.

To crack this move, one tactic is to rotate the body in the direction of Zheng Shu's twisted heel, and use the free foot to attack the enemy with a kick, so as to get out of the fixed move.

But Alcardes didn't choose to do so, he put his hands flat on the ground to support his body, and then lifted one foot up, lifting the tall Zheng Shu with the strength of only one right leg.

"Tsk!"

Zheng Shu was a little stunned, quickly let go of his hands and gave up the restraint on Alkades, and hurriedly pulled away.

"Oops, that's thrilling."

Alcádes muttered in a calm voice, the corners of his mouth still glistening with blood, probably only slightly torn his lips.

Zheng Shu watched his movements after rolling two laps to open the distance, and although the plan to break the knee ultimately failed, Alcades should still have suffered some degree of damage.

"Strange?" Alcades checked the damage to his leg, and his expression became a little confused, "No healing?" ”

"Yes, after all, my divinity comes mainly from Lord Hades."

Zheng Shu explained a little and didn't say any more, but Alkades had already understood what he was going to say.

As the master of the underworld, Hades represents death, even if the divinity that Zheng Shu obtained from him does not have the ability to make people die, it will carry a certain particularity, at least like ordinary immortality, which will lose its effect in front of Zheng Shu.

"In this way, the two of us are even."

Alkades suddenly wanted to laugh, so he suddenly wanted to thank fate for the arrangement he had given him, but he felt that it seemed a little strange to laugh now, so he held back.

Without saying anything more, Alkades jumped into the air with a kick, completely violating basic martial arts skills, and lightly kicked Zheng Shu's head in mid-air.

Alcardes' shoes had long since been torn in the previous battle, so he rewarded Zheng Shu, who reflexively crossed his arms to protect his head, with a solid foot knife.

This attack was heavy, strong, and the intense pain rushed through his body, and the two arms were not broken, which could be regarded as Zheng Shu's strong defense.

But Zheng Shu resisted his body that wanted to retreat, and instead took a step forward and elbowed Alkades who was about to land.

However, Alcardes himself did not intend to land, and responded directly in the air with roundhouse kicks.

Alcardus' leg then hit Zheng Shu in the head, and Zheng's elbow smashed into Alcastes' heart.

Zheng Shu was a little unconscious for a while because of the concussion caused by the attack on the head, but even so, he still relied on his intuition to fight with his opponent, as long as the Tianling cover was not lifted and his heart was not dug out, he would definitely not fall.

Taking advantage of the moment Alkades landed, he kicked him out and kicked him directly in the face.

Alcastes, too, did not care about the fact that his chest was already sinking, and raised his protective arms to fly him up.

Taking advantage of the moment when Zheng Shu lost his balance, Alcastes roared and rushed forward, raised his fist once, and struck twice......

Zheng Shu, who fell to the ground during the third punch, had already come back to his senses, grabbed his fist like a prejudgment, and then lifted it hard, pushed him to the ground with his backhand, and smashed his clenched fist towards his face.

So the two top servants abandoned all their skills and playing styles, and rolled on the ground and tore like the thugs.
