Chapter 386: Purpose and Progress

The storm is roaring.

In the sky above Fuyuki City, two huge floating fortresses are fighting each other, or rather...... Wreak havoc.

Having lost its supernatural means of combat, the Rock Giants relied on their more flexible nature to suppress the Aerial Courtyard.

As a last resort, Semiramis could only use the black coffin, which was no longer able to shoot light bullets, as a limb of the aerial courtyard, and engage in close-quarters combat with the rock giants.

Maybe even the real owner of the courtyard in the sky could not have predicted that such a miraculous existence would one day use such a "vulgar" tactic.

However, the black coffin is not a dedicated melee weapon after all, so even if the rock giant only has one arm left, it still defeats the courtyard in the air.

Semiramis in the control room was about to crush his teeth, but he still struggled to entangle the enemy fortress.

As she had promised, if Amakusa Shiro Tokisada failed, Semiramis would not hesitate to abandon him and divide it. But correspondingly, although Amakusa Shiro Shizhen has not yet come out, she has not yet failed, so no matter what happens, she will definitely not run away alone.

Of course, Semiramis also knew very well that the time given to her was running out, not only that the sky courtyard was a little unsupportable.

She could see that in the square above the rock giant's head, many of the monsters summoned by Alkades were close to being wiped out, and only a few strange birds and the three-headed dog of hell that had lost a head were still barely supporting.

Once Cú Chulainn has dealt with these monsters, although he is seriously injured, he will definitely invade, and it is absolutely impossible for Semiramis, who is dealing with the rock giants, to withstand it.

And just when the battle between the two floating fortresses was in full swing, the battle between Alcades and Zheng Shu had also entered the white heat.

The two finally got rid of their previous grueled fighting posture like a quagmire wrestling and returned to normal fighting mode.

Zheng Shu ignored it, raised his fist and blasted towards Alcades with all his might, without any special skills, just speeding up the speed of the fist to exceed the limit that Alcades could predict, and even transformed from fists to hand knives on the way.

Zheng Shu knew very well that Alcastes would definitely be able to see through his attack, so he simply gave up all his feints and decided the winner with pure physical fitness.

Zheng Shu's hand knife stabbed Alcardes directly in the throat, forcing him to stop breathing briefly, and in the face of his amazed face, Zheng Shu snickered a little in his heart, but it was only for a short moment, because Alcardes' hands had already tightly grasped his hand with the hand knife.

Zheng Shu reflexively wanted to withdraw the arm that was caught, but Alkades, who had already taken the next move at the moment of the shot, was slightly faster.

He jumped up and wrapped his feet around Zheng Shu's neck as he jumped, using the momentum of the jump to break his left arm.

Click!

The piercing sound of fractures came from Zheng Shu's body, and Zheng Shu had already accepted the sharp pain and the fact that he was about to lose his left arm the moment he was pounced on by Alcardes.

Alcardus changed his body posture and clasped Zheng Shu tightly, thinking that his immobility situation was a perfect opportunity, but Zheng Shu's right fist once again penetrated Alcardes's heart, which was clutching his arm.

Zheng Shu felt that although he lost a left hand, the price was not too high.

The bones of his left arm were screwed to pieces, and there were still remnants of Alkades' magic and the special power of the Avenger rank inside, so it was unlikely that Zheng Shu's recovery ability would heal quickly, at least in the next battle.

However, he still had two legs and his right hand, and he judged that these would be enough to fight.

Alcardes endured the pain and unleashed a powerful right spin kick, but it certainly couldn't pose a threat without any feints.

Zheng Shu avoided the blow with an extremely limited dodge space, and Alcardes' foot swept in front of him, and then he turned his back on him due to the nature of the roundhouse kick.

Zheng Shu just wanted to seize this opportunity to get closer, and suddenly a bright light flashed in his mind.

"That's not right!"

Alcastes couldn't have made such a low-level mistake, so there must have been some plan.

"Suffer, retreat!"

Alkades, who had his back to Zheng Shu, had already bent over and assumed a posture as if he was bowing deeply, and at the same time, with the help of the power of bending, he kicked out his right foot that touched the ground again.

This is a Caron's stunt, a combat technique similar to a return pistol, which allows you to expose your flaws with powerful hind kicks when facing them in the back.

Alkades doesn't have four legs, but he can barely use the trick called "kick" with a certain amount of change.

The long-accumulating right leg hit Zheng Shu, but Zheng Shu realized his intention in advance, and decisively took the blow with his left arm, which had lost his ability to fight, and then swung his right hand towards Alcádés' Achilles tendon.

"Hmm......"

The pain of the Achilles tendon tearing made Alcades lose his balance, and Zheng Shu confirmed that his opponent would not retreat again, and rushed forward to entangle Alcades and throw him out again.

But this idea was seen through, and as soon as he came back to his senses, Zheng Shu found that he was thrown out instead.

It was obvious that he wanted to smash his head, and Zheng Shu desperately took the "body" and kicked Alcades on the shoulder, interrupting the other party's intention to ride on him.

The situation that is beneficial to each other and unfavorable is like a magic trick, and just beyond the opponent's expectations, it is immediately counterattacked by the opponent, and after returning a move, this return move will be bitten back.

There was no conversation, just to adjust the breathing and exhausting all their strength, both of them were constantly thinking, looking for the best strategy between punches, throws, and joint skills.

In the end, the more simple the way the two fought became, and if they wanted to make a bloody way in such a scene, they could only rely on each other's fists and feet.

Alkades took a stance with an unexpectedly refreshing mood, jumping as if riding the wind, and threw a punch with all his strength.

Boom!

In the dull sound of physical blows, Zheng Shu took a step forward with his stronger body despite taking this punch.

How brave and resolute this is, Alcastes has already decided that Zheng Shu is indeed a great hero far beyond himself.

So he wanted to see it even more, if he defeated Zheng Shu, would he be able to see the scenery at the top?

Knock him down with his fists, and will he be able to get to where he was standing in the first place?

All kinds of thoughts mingled, and in the midst of the constant fighting, Alcádes finally understood his thoughts—he wanted to win, but simply wanted to defeat him.

After clarifying this idea, this feeling really, literally, surged from my heart, and what had been constantly suppressed and suppressed erupted like an angry wave.

"Drink!"

With a loud shout, Alcastes didn't know what he was shouting, but he attacked more violently.

Straight punches, jabs, uppercuts, Alcades unleashed countless punches with a speed that surpassed the speed of human reactions.

Pushing away, bending over, and twisting, Zheng Shu defused these killing moves with the smallest of his body, and approached Alkades while dodging.

But in the face of the stormy attack, Zheng Shu still couldn't completely dodge, but he still chose to endure, endure, and keep enduring.

Covered in blood, the skin is open, the bones are broken, and the nerves are broken.

At the cost of this, he finally managed to create a little, not even sure, gap in Alcades' offensive.

didn't have time to think about whether this was a trap set by Alcardus, aiming at the opponent's spirit core, Zheng Shu didn't have any superfluous feints at all, and stretched out his fist unstoppable.

Rumble!

The collision of flesh and flesh erupted with a sound comparable to a bomb explosion, and the remnants of force peeked out from behind Alkades, forming a rapidly expanding fan-shaped shockwave that blew away all the rubble in its path.

When he ate this blow, Alcádes realized that this punch was a blow that Zheng Shu focused on everything, and under the condition of being a servant, no well-known hero in the world could withstand this blow, including Zheng Shu himself.

The body was a little numb, and this blow did have the power to shatter the spirit core.

"Pretty ......"

"Thank you for the compliment......"

Alcastes collapsed with emotion and could not get up again, because what was necessary to get up had been completely destroyed.

The square finally fell silent, except for the incessant roar of the periphery, the sound of the aerial courtyard and the rock giants fighting together.

Zheng Shu's injuries began to recover, and after getting out of the fierce battle, his own extremely fast healing speed began to appear, including the comminuted fracture of his left arm, which was also corrected and recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Zheng Shu ...... Thanks......"

Alcádes said with a relieved smile on his face.

At the moment when he was about to die, the treasure that had been activating finally stopped, and the source of the pain that had been making him feel so much pain in his body disappeared.

With the rupture of the spirit core, Avenger's rank began to disintegrate, and while Alcastes' body gradually turned into a spirit child, his consciousness finally got rid of the erosion of black mud and returned to clarity.

"Actually, I've always been jealous of you, including the future that you don't know now, and I've always been jealous."

Alkades spoke suddenly, but in a rather calm tone.

"It's funny, I've never been jealous of anyone, so at first I even wondered what kind of emotion it was."

"Did we fight in the future?" Zheng Shu suddenly asked a question that seemed unrelated.

"No, I didn't have time, and I never found a chance."

"That's no wonder......"

Zheng Shu laughed "haha", lying on the ground on the side, his body had begun to be unstable, and Alkades also laughed.

For a carnal faction like them, combat is a means of communication beyond the heart, and the exchange of fists is worth ten thousand words. In the battle where you can't think, everyone's heart, character, and emotions will be unreservedly displayed.

If the two sides have never fought since then, it is indeed equivalent to not communicating with each other, and in such a situation, it is natural that there will be estrangement.

"Well, now you know my situation, right?"

Zheng Shu shook his arm, feeling that the healing had been completed.

By the way, he glanced at the other side of the square, where he sensed the aura of the treasure, indicating that Cú Chulainn had finished his battle, and quietly climbed onto the sky courtyard and began to infiltrate the battle.

"Got it...... You are indeed a hero worthy of your title, and now it seems that my jealousy was indeed too unreasonable. ”

Alkades sighed with emotion, then shook his head helplessly.

"Sometimes it's not good to be too humble, even in the fight with me, you don't seem to give it your all, although you know that you want to create the most fair fighting environment possible, but it's easy for people to misunderstand your thoughts."

"Go all out...... Zheng Shu shook his head as he felt the instant noodles that kept appearing in his body and were quickly digested, "How can it not be counted?" Like you said, I just don't want to do it too lightly. ”

"Cut! What an unhappy guy, forget it, it's not too early, hurry up and deal with the last thing over there, and then save the world. ”

"Saving the world or something, that sounds like a shame."

"Shame? Isn't it a matter of course for heroes to save the world? Hahahaha! ”

In the midst of laughter, Alcardes' body completely turned into a spirit child and disappeared.

In this battle, Zheng Shu won the final victory.

"Save the world, I didn't expect that one day I would be associated with such a term."

Zheng Shu looked at the place where Alcardus disappeared and was a little stunned, and suddenly laughed with relief.

Alcastes guessed correctly, the reason why Zheng Shu still fights until now is very simple and very old-fashioned, he is just to "save the world".

In fact, after receiving Medea's message, Zheng Shu's future trip this time can be regarded as complete, and all his goals have been achieved, and the sooner he returns to the gods, the better.

And the reason why he is still willing to stay here and continue to fight is to stop Amakusa Shiro Shizhen's intentions.

After reading the original book, he naturally knows what this guy's wish is, although he says that he wants to redeem all mankind, but the way to achieve it is to destroy all human bodies and release souls, and turn all souls into slaves to form immortal "monsters".

Of course, this is Zheng Shu's understanding, although Amakusa Shiro Shizhen has a lot of explanations, but in Zheng Shu's opinion, this is the essence of his plan.

Amakusa Shiro Shizhen is not a savior at all, he is completely a madman who willfully intends to murder all mankind.

The soul passion of the servant will gradually fade, and the desire will no longer dominate human nature, to put it bluntly, when the human nature and will are completely gone, how can we still be sure that the life of the servant is the original existence?

Of course, Zheng Shu also admitted that he was also very willful, after all, he did not hesitate to participate in this battle for the morality in his heart, just to be able to obey the morality in his heart, and chose to stop another person's dream.

According to universal morality and law, his actions may really be regarded as saving the world.

Bang!

While thinking about it, there was a loud noise overhead, and then it fell silent, and Zheng Shu looked up to see that the rock giant had destroyed the last black coffin.

Of course, the cost was also severe, and the rock giant's limbs were almost completely damaged, leaving only the central body still suspended in mid-air.

If the winner can be divided so quickly, it seems that it is also caused by the treasure that broke out in the courtyard in the sky before, it seems that Cúchulainn still played a big role, at least to draw Semiramis's attention.

Thinking so, Zheng Shu saw Medea in the castle above the rock giant's head, and nodded at her.

From a distance of several kilometers, Medea also saw Zheng Shu's actions for herself through magic, so she stretched out her hand and made an "OK" gesture, indicating that everything was going according to plan.

Zheng Shu nodded knowingly, but his expression became a little strange after turning around.

"Hmm...... This style doesn't look like an 'ancient man' no matter how you look at it, it seems that you should have carefully observed this era with a futuristic vision, but just for such a Holy Grail War, does it need to be to this point? ”

Zheng Shu had a strange feeling in her heart, she always felt that Medea didn't just seem to show that little idea, but no matter what, the plan was indeed going according to her expectations.

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Zheng Shu decided to solve the problem in front of him first, and then talk about other things.

……

……

Semiramis smashed his mouth as the blood that ran from his chest stabbed by Cúchulainn stained his clothes.

It's really surprising, I thought it was just an ordinary miscellaneous soldier, but I didn't expect to have such a method, obviously I was seriously injured before, but I can still hurt myself.

If it weren't for the absolute priority he had in the courtyard in the sky, and he was even able to slightly reverse the cause and effect, I am afraid that he would have died a long time ago.

"But anyway, a reckless man actually hurt me."

It's actually a bit too much to say that it's an injury.,No matter how you look at it.,The internal spirit core has been completely shattered.,This kind of injury can be regarded as a fatal injury.,The reason why you can still maintain the existence of the body.,It's completely because of the existence of the sky courtyard.。

Gone are the resentment of being stabbed and the humiliation of escaping, and now it is the mind that has been relaxed by dominating this courtyard.

Obviously, the enemy in the outside world has already shown her strength, but because she is immersed in the power of the sky courtyard, she has become careless, so she vows that the next time they meet, she will use all her strength to kill in return.

…… If there really is a next time.

She sighed as she passed the message to Avenger, and it was obvious that Alkades, who had completely disappeared as a spirit child, would not be able to respond.

"Has Avenger been defeated too?"

Semiramis sat on the ground clutched by her wounds, her hands tapping on the floor subconsciously, knowing very well that her emotions were starting to become more and more irritable, because her time was running out.
