The growing sense of fear made the grape's body tremble uncontrollably.

She had a similar experience.

When she was a child, she saw her parents killed by two guests who had been invited to talk. After killing Grape's parents, they searched the house for something while disguised the scene as a burglary.

At that time, she tried to curl up and hide in the belly of her mother's half-made spliced corpse.

Because this is the only place where ritual detection can be evaded...... And because it's too bloody and filthy, it won't be scrutinized.

And she didn't dare to make a sound at all, clenched her teeth, but her body trembled uncontrollably.

- Fear at this moment, just as it was at that time.

The grapes didn't dare to move, not even to breathe. It's as if if you move a little, you will break some taboo. It's like a single-plank bridge standing on a cliff.

Even if your legs are weak, you have to stand still - even if you know intellectually that this will only make your legs stiff and make it more difficult to move later, but you just can't move your legs.

If she hadn't become transcendent, she might have even been scared to death.

It's not because she's timid – on the contrary, being able to stay rational in that kind of scene shows that she's a pretty brave and calm person. Because the aura of fear that grew stronger and stronger had seeped out of the crimson egg.

The next moment, the crimson egg suddenly burst.

Lancelot, who kept his head up at the sky, closed his eyes as if he were bathing. The upper half of his clothes also became naked, and the skin of his body was covered with savage purple war marks, his originally fair skin turned tan from the sun for a long time, and his hair turned red like blood.

It can be clearly seen that he has a red "zero" ring on his chest and a purple "infinity" ring on his back.

And the scarlet storm of blood centered around him and spread in all directions - the already gloomy midnight sky rolled up a storm.

In just a few breaths, a blood-smelling hurricane began to sweep across the city.

In the wee hours of the morning, the sky turned an ominous dark red. It was like an ember, like red-hot coal.

"Hiss......"

Lancelot inhaled slowly, making a sound as if he were smoking. Slowly open his blood-red pupils.

As he inhaled, the storm grew stronger.

They spread outwards and began to spread to the area outside the glass island.

And that's when the grapes are seen...... Ehuas, who was originally wrapped in it, has completely disappeared at some point.

Not even a corpse.

“…… Are there no dead bodies? ”

Grape's lips moved slightly, making a helpless sound that only he could hear.

Being involved in such a big ritual is probably only melting.

And she's going to die here......

- Choke.

The sharp blade of the holy sword was plunged into the ground without mercy by "Lancelot".

At this moment, "Lancelot" is no longer holding Arondater's dagger in the form of a dagger, but the "Holy Sword Arondaite" that has restored its long sword.

It has a beautiful blue-green blade, like a lake, and like a fine sapphire. In the faint candle flame, you can also see a gradient from dark blue to dim yellow from the side.

"-It's not easy."

He made overlapping sounds.

Grape was keenly able to distinguish that it was a triple of voices overlapping with the voices of Ivus, Lancelot, and a woman.

And at this moment, "Lancelot" slowly turned back.

Just being stared at by his scarlet gaze, the grapes couldn't help but tremble and feel intensely suffocated. The fear that paralyzed her brain made her whole body motionless, and her whole body convulsed—it was directly urinated.

"Huh."

Lancelot let out a sneer.

His scarlet gaze was full of sarcasm: "Cowardly pig." ”

- That's the Fear Spirit.

The ability to make mortals directly scared to death, and make people far weaker than themselves unable to move.

Such a transcendent power of bullying is one of the special symbols unique to the path of strength.

The next moment, he reached out and grabbed it from the void, dragging something invisible out.

In silhouette, it resembles a hammer, an axe, or a fan. Just swinging it, and a storm rolled up directly in the chapel—a howling storm that reverberated through the building, shaking the entire building violently and shattering the glass windows in an instant.

"The Hidden Ones......"

The learned Grape immediately recognized the iconic weapon.

This is the weapon of ...... "City Breaker" Ernio!

It was the goddess of evil who took pleasure in killing in war.

Drinking, sabotage, and murder in conquered cities after victory were seen as rituals of service to Eneo, and this provided an excuse for the undisciplined irregular army to vent their bestial desires.

At the moment, Erneo seemed to be in a rather bad mood.

Lancelot's body vanished in the blink of an eye, and the pungent smell of blood instantly appeared in front of the grapes.

With a wicked and tyrannical expression on his face, he raised his right hand high.

—but at this moment, the expression on his face and the movement at hand froze.

It's disrespectful......

But that feeling reminded the grape of a hound's hounds with chains around their necks. The moment he roared and rushed up, the chains straightened because he reached the edge, and the whole person's movements instantly froze in place.

The next moment, Lancelot's left hand lifted the neckline of "McCroft" with some stiffness and threw the grapes out directly.

The grapes flew high, swirling past the shattered windows, and in the blink of an eye they flew outside the chapel. Although "McCroft's" fat ball-like body was still cut through his clothes and body by the shattered glass ballast when he passed by the window, he at least left the scene safely.

She encased herself in the air in a force field orb. The rubber-like ball bounces off as soon as it hits the ground, bouncing and rolling back and forth through the street.

Lancelot looked at the Flame Butterfly flying quietly in the air.

"Are you the one who came to stop me?"

The corners of Lancelot's mouth rose slightly, and he sneered sarcastically: "Little Miss, don't go to the battlefield in a skirt." ”

"My master, my father...... It's inside you. ”

The Flame Butterfly just said calmly.

Hearing this, Lancelot's expression suddenly became gloomy.

"I see."

The knight, who had turned into tan skin and red hair and bloody eyes, slammed the holy sword stuck in the ground directly backwards with a single hammer. It didn't bend or shatter, but it lost its jewel-like color.

The Flame Butterfly witnessed this scene, and her pupils moved slightly.

"Lancelot" didn't say anything harsh.

He just moved his neck, and without warning, he rushed towards the Flame Butterfly—

Immediately, wield a giant hammer and smash it down with all your might!

Behind the Flame Butterfly, the four butterfly wings suddenly converged into a shield.

The seemingly incomparably slender thin wings blocked the hurricane!

Naturally, the earth shattered suddenly.

The creeching cracks tore the chapel apart, and the floor caved and shattered in a circle. Dirt and rubble burst and exploded, and a storm roared out, blowing the entire chapel straight away!

The rooftop, of excellent quality, remained intact and flew outward, spinning wildly in the air.

And the next moment, the Flame Butterfly flew into the night sky.

Like the Last Judgment—twelve slender, yet extremely long, scorching beams swept back and forth at a rapid pace. It was a casual sweep, like a net that was gathered from all sides, gathering from the edge towards "Lancelot".

They tore through the storm with ease, and the farthest blow even tore apart the dark clouds in the sky and the Temple of Silver and Tin in the distance!

As the beam swept by, the explosion followed.

And when they coalesced to a point, the flame beams became extremely hot and bright.

"Lancelot" was immediately pushed by the flame stream and smashed into the wall and blew it up!

In the face of this powerful attack, "Lancelot" also had to cover his face with both hands. He snorted thick white smoke - his flesh was already charred, and he could see sticky flames burning on his skin, like ignited metal.

…… What a lot of firepower.

"Lancelot" was a little jealous.

The chapel and the surrounding Cathedral of the Candles had been reduced to rubble, and the swept through building had been sliced open like butter cut by a hot knife before exploding. At this moment, the remaining structures are still burning.

Even the Temple of Silver and Tin in the distance was tilted open by the Flame Butterfly's distant blow!

“…… But that's it. ”

"Lancelot", who was steaming with white smoke all over his body, gritted his teeth and said word by word.

The flames did hurt him, but it wasn't fatal.

But it just so happened that the Flame Butterfly couldn't keep up with him immediately after blowing him up......

If I come back a few more times-

That's when it happened.

He suddenly sensed something, and suddenly turned around.

An old man in a black robe was standing near the Temple of Silver and Tin, observing him from afar.

That's a long way off—at least two kilometers away.

He was looking at Lancelot vigilantly, his brow furrowed.

Looking at this face, it always feels a little familiar......

But the next moment, when "Lancelot" turned to look at him, little Fernando's eyes suddenly widened and his scalp tingled.

He was about to run away without thinking, but "Lancelot" rushed straight over!

His movements, which had been somewhat stiff, gradually became fluid—Evas's control over his body was waning. He wielded a hammer and swept through the storm!

But you can't run away......

In a hurry, little Fernando reached out and touched the earth. A force field enchantment stronger than a grape was instantly generated, and in the blink of an eye, it began to be reinforced layer by layer......

At the same time, he threw out a strange eyeball in his arms.

It began to petrify the surrounding earth before it could hit the ground, a dim yellow glow that lit up the space like stars.

- But it didn't work at all.

I saw that "Lancelot" completely ignored the Petrified Eye, jumped high and fell with a hammer!

The barrier was not much stronger than the cardboard box in front of the hammer, and it was already shattered the moment it came into contact. And little Fernando's instantly petrified body was also shattered by a hammer like tofu!

The sixth-level high-level illusion holding an artifact is the same as the fifth-level human...... There is at least two levels of suppressive power in between.

As a result, little Fernando couldn't survive even a move, and started directly from scratch, smashed into powder from top to bottom!

The strong killing intent made "Lancelot" control his body to a higher level.

"Don't you regret it?"

"Lancelot" sneered at "himself": "With your precious manipulation, you saved your enemy - she should be your enemy, right?" ”

Of course, Ivas couldn't say anything.

He kept pushing Ivus's will—like a scuffle at the edge of a lake, pressing the face of another person who was struggling violently under the water's surface, choking and choking.

It is impossible for a mortal soul to compete with an apostle who is visibly hostile to him—even murderous.

In the midst of such violent conflicts, it will only gradually be torn apart.

However, Evas's will did not give up.

"Lancelot" scoffed: "What are you waiting for?

"I might as well tell you that I'm here to kill you, Iwas. I'm not going to let go of you until I've completely torn your soul apart - and how dare you come to this body and try to interfere with me?

"I don't know where you got the guts - see clearly! You think you caught me?

"No, I caught you! I'm the strongest! ”

At this moment, the Flame Butterfly, which had finally arrived, flew over with a golden-red firelight.

It was the condensation of the life force, and the golden red flame aura—the surging heat roared out.

…… Blaze?

Lancelot certainly knows this skill.

Burn life in exchange for a purer Flame of Consecration, which increases the penetration of all fire-based abilities. Enemies that would not otherwise be harmed will also be damaged as a result.

- If "Lancelot" is too active, it will make him constantly suppress the soul of Eivus.

As long as he can't be distracted to suppress Aihuas!

"I'm sorry, Father. Although you said that you would not let me use it, this time the situation is special......"

Lea's dark red pupils gradually ignited and turned into flowing liquid gold: "I just wanted to try......

“…… How far can I go? ”

As she spoke, the scorching aura of flame suddenly spread, enveloping Lancelot in it.

It was like an invisible crimson barrier, and everything that was encased in it began to burn - even Lancelot was no exception.

This is the power of "T曦火"!

By this time, "Lancelot" had already guessed what she was going to do.

But just as he wanted to leave, his body stopped again.

[Of course......]

The whisper of Ivas rang in his ears, calm and determined.

[-Of course, I caught you.] 】

The other side.

In the midst of the terrifying, thunderstorming thunderstorm, the Great Guardian was charging at the gargoyle.

But that is not a charge to death.

It's a charge toward hope—

- He just knocked the dark cloud away!

Isabel's boat was suspended in mid-air, carrying a cloud of silver light, following closely behind.

Shafiya noticed what the Great Guardian was doing in the distance.

Without thinking, she removed the invisibility spell and cast a spell with all her might to make the ship fly!

The bow of the ship rose slightly, like a silver comet, and fell in an arc towards the sea where the Eternal Cult was located.

However, the gargoyles didn't have time to take care of them.

They threw a barrage at the Great Guardian, only to die out in the dense thunderstorm.

The white griffon, flying downward, and the ship flying from the bottom up, met in the air and noticed each other's presence.

Holding her staff, Shafiya looked up and met the Great Guardian with a look of surprise overlooking the ship above.

Isabel, who is holding the mast, is also bright-eyed, confident and hopeful.

The stranger watched this scene, and his brain seemed to stagnate.

No......

It's not an illusion, it's stagnant.

A rough and hoarse voice rang in the ears of all the survivors:

"Princess Isabel has arrived at the appointed place. The necessary tasks are completed, and the ceremony is settled in advance. ”

At this moment, in the direction of the seaside east and Avalon, a touch of fish belly white was revealed.

- The night is over, and the morning sun is rising.
