Chapter 58

Chapter 58

"No wonder, my coming this time is so unusual. I can't physically manifest, but need to possess Leticia..." Joan of Arc pondered, with a look of surprise on her face, but then she Another doubt came to mind: "Why, why did Amakusa Shiro Tokisada do this? As a Ruler, shouldn't he have no regrets after death? Why did he pursue the Holy Grail and be so persistent? 60 years of preparation?" The more she thought about it, the more doubtful she became. Jeanne didn't even bother to continue enjoying the food. She suddenly stood up and planned to rush directly to the red side's stronghold to question the opponent.

"Hey, hey, hey, I've never seen a saint who doesn't pay for a meal. Do you want to eat the King's meal?" Seeing Jeanne looking like he was about to rush out, Fang Yuan deliberately spoke a little louder The voice said, immediately attracting the attention of the customers and staff in the restaurant.

Seeing the surprised looks directed at her, the village girl and the saint who had just been aggressively planning to go straight to the enemy's nest suddenly blushed with embarrassment and sat back in her seat at a loss. She even refuted the "saint" in the opponent's words. I don’t even care about the title.

"You... don't talk nonsense! I just forgot in a moment of impatience, but I have plans to pay properly!" Joan looked at Fang Yuan who was deliberately causing trouble with an evil look, even if there was no such unreasonable thing Feeling disgusted, after this incident, for this so-called "fourth force" who didn't even dare to reveal his true face, Joan of Arc would definitely cross him off the friendly list! "Yes, yes, yes Our Lady Saint is not a street bully who eats the King's meal..." Fang Yuan joked, even though it was through an inanimate puppet, the expression that was no different from a real person still made Joan of Arc I clearly felt the other party's "ridicule", and my mood suddenly became worse - so angry! "Okay, let's get back to the topic - are you confused about what he did?" Fang Yuan asked.

"...Why, do you still know why he did this?" Although she had no hope, in order not to let go of any clues, Joan suppressed her dissatisfaction with this guy and asked patiently.

"Yes, I know!" Unexpectedly, Fang Yuan nodded directly.

"Really?" Seeing this, Joan of Arc, who wanted to check out and leave, ending this unpleasant conversation, sat upright and asked seriously: "What is it?" "Relief for all mankind! " Fang Yuan gave an answer that shocked Jeanne.

"What kind of reason is this?" "Isn't it normal for a saint recognized by the Heroic Spirit Seat to have a great wish to save all mankind?" Fang Yuan asked rhetorically.

"..." This statement made so much sense that Jeanne found herself unable to refute it! Speaking of which, compared with those "saints" with truly noble personalities and lofty ambitions, she, the "saint" who was canonized by later generations, is not qualified at all! Except for her belief in God, which is as confident as anyone else, she has no such great ambitions that concern the whole world and all mankind. Sure enough, she is not a so-called "saint". ...')228'\u003eChapter 227 Sure enough, the saint relied on the word "reckless" to fight back then...

"...But even the Great Holy Grail, which is called the 'universal wishing machine' by magicians, can't grant this level of wishes, right? After all, the so-called 'rescue of all mankind' is originally an ambiguous term. Qing’s explanation, no one can give a correct answer to where human beings need relief and how to help it.” After thinking for a long time, Joan of Arc choked out this paragraph. When she thought about it, this ambition was indeed It is great, but also very unrealistic. Just like the so-called "universal salvation of all sentient beings" in Buddhism spread in the East, it is just an impossible fantasy.

Regardless of whether it can be realized or not, the key point is that the definition of this wish itself is very vague. No one can give an accurate definition of the word "relief". For the Great Holy Grail, which is essentially just a magic device , how can this wish be realized? "Yes, the so-called correct answer!" The puppet in front of her said this, which immediately made Joan even more stunned.

"What did you say?" "That great saint who wanted to save all mankind, after 60 years of hard thinking, finally thought of a way to truly save all mankind, and that is-" At this point, Fang Yuan deliberately After a pause, he gave up.

"...You don't have to say it if you don't want to. I can find out just as well if I investigate it myself!" Unfortunately, our saintly lady didn't seem to want to coddle some hateful guy. As she said this, she was about to leave, and immediately let Fang Yuan no longer had the interest to continue showing off.

"Okay, okay... It's really not funny, it's boring..." Fang Yuan muttered in a low voice, and finally cooperated and said: "The method that Amakusa Shirou Tokisada came up with to save all mankind is actually very simple - That is to use the power of the third method contained in the Great Holy Grail to materialize the souls of all human beings by absorbing the spiritual veins of the entire planet as energy, transforming them into eternal existences that are immortal and can survive forever without the need for a material body. After losing material needs, humans will naturally no longer have disputes over material things, and the redemption in his mind will be completed.”

"... This approach..." After listening to Fang Yuan's explanation, Jeanne lowered her head, exuding low pressure all over her body, and murmured: "This approach is not salvation at all, but destruction! This is destroying all mankind!" At the end, the emotional Saint Lady even slapped the table hard, making a "bang bang" sound, which immediately attracted the attention of the clerks and customers again.

But at this time, she could no longer care about these. If what this mysterious troublemaker said was true, then what Amakusa Shiro Tokisada planned was undoubtedly an extremely dangerous move that threatened the survival of all mankind and even the planet itself! Don't think that immortality is really such a beautiful thing. Although for most people, having a life that is so long that you can't see the end sounds so beautiful-you have the opportunity to do whatever you want, and you can experience whatever kind of life you want. As long as you work hard, your previous goals will be achieved one day, without being limited by a limited and short life.

However, most people have never thought that they don't actually have the mind and will to truly endure eternal life.

When a person has experienced enough, whether it is wealth or poverty, happiness or sadness, excitement or dullness, when they have achieved all the goals they can pursue, experienced all the things they can experience, and enjoyed all the scenery in the world, when the passion in their hearts fades and they no longer have any interest in everything in the world, the twilight of thinking, which is more terrible than physical aging, will come.

Unless all human beings are self-aware like the Taoist Buddha, or like a certain Emperor Li or a certain Governor Chen, they will devote their whole body and mind to the pursuit of endless knowledge and truth, and finally sublimate themselves from the spiritual level and truly obtain an immortal soul that can match the baptism of endless time.

Otherwise, even if all human beings really ascend to heaven and reincarnate into immortal species, it will not take several thousand years for most of the immortals to gradually lose interest in the material world, and finally become ghosts immersed in their own spiritual world, wandering on the desolate planet that has completely turned into a dead place.

This is not a false fantasy, but a prophecy that Joan of Arc obtained from God's [Revelation]. Such a sad future, she will never allow it to happen! "Thank you for the information you provided, sir. Although I don't like you, what you did is indeed saving the world! Then, I should go and deal with this crazy servant who threatens all mankind. I'll leave now!" Jeanne said solemnly, bowing slightly to the puppet carrying Fang Yuan's will, then stood up and walked to the counter to pay the bill, and walked towards the restaurant door with a look of going to the battlefield.

"Oh? Don't you need me to provide more information?" Fang Yuan said, looking at Jeanne's back.

"No, what you told me is enough!" After saying this, the girl left without looking back.

"Now, things are getting interesting!" Fang Yuan's puppet body did not stop Jeanne's actions. Rather, his purpose was this - to let Jeanne catch them off guard before Semiramis set up the Sky Garden.

Of course, Fang Yuan did not expect that a mere Jeanne could really do anything to the Red Camp with Karna and Achilles, but as long as she could play the role of Ruler, consume the Command Spells held by Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, and weaken the opponent as much as possible, Fang Yuan would be very satisfied.

As for completely defeating or even killing those competitors who competed with him for the Holy Grail, this was Fang Yuan's job! 　　Thinking so, Fang Yuan's main body in the space city issued a recovery order.

Swish——A white light flashed, and the figure originally sitting in the restaurant disappeared instantly, which immediately caused a burst of exclamations from the witnesses.

... "Are they here?" In the church, the white-haired, brown-skinned priest who was praying with his eyes closed suddenly raised his head and frowned: "It's earlier than expected! Semiramis's preparations are not yet complete... However, with Lancer and Rider, and these Command Spells, we should be able to stop the opponent... And Caster's Noble Phantasm should also come in handy..." "Lancer! Rider!" After shouting loudly, two figures appeared in the air. They were the only two powerful forces left in the Red Camp, Karna, the strongest Heroic Spirit of this session who possessed the Spear of God Slayer, and Achilles, the demigod hero second only to Karna.

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly, and don't bother me again after you're done!" Although he temporarily acknowledged the priest as his own Master, his attitude towards him was still very bad, as if he didn't want to stay for even half a second.

Karna, on the other hand, always adhered to his taciturn and cold style. He didn't say a word, but just quietly waited for the Master's order.

"The Ruler of this Holy Grail War is coming towards us. Please, wipe her out completely!" The priest, whose heart was as dark as his skin, showed a cold smile.

')229'\u003eChapter 228 My Lord is Here!

"Come out! As a hero who has engraved his existence in Valhalla, you can't only know how to attack secretly, right?" Jeanne, who was on her way to the church, suddenly stopped and pointed the flag rolled into a spear in one direction.

"No, I don't think a sneak attack will work on you as a Ruler. I just happen to be here waiting for you!" Wearing a golden armor that is integrated with the body, wearing a flaming red cape, and carrying a sun disk behind his back Ordinary decoration, holding an unusually exaggerated spear in his hand - the person who came was none other than the Red Lancer who was ordered to intercept Joan of Arc, the great hero of the Gods, the son of the Sun God, Karna.

"Karna, the son of the Sun God Surya and the mortal Kunti... I am Joan of Arc. I have come to this Holy Grail War as a Ruler and am responsible for eliminating anomalies in the Holy Grail War - Lancer on the red side, why are you here? ?" Although she had already expected it, Jeanne still asked the other party in anticipation of the eventuality.

"It turns out to be Joan of Arc...don't you know very well? I came to kill you on the Master's order!" The spear in Karna's hand ignited a flame transformed by magic power, clearly stating his attitude.

"...You know what your Master is going to do, but you still block me?" Joan of Arc looked at this famous hero in Indian mythology with a complicated look in her eyes. .

"What the Master wants to do doesn't matter to me. I accepted the summons and came to this world just to find an opponent for a good fight and to satisfy my personal desires.

And there is no doubt that my current Master is not a villain. Since the Master orders me to come out and fight, I will happily accept the order. "

"..." Joan of Arc didn't expect that this legendary hero with a noble temperament would have such an attitude after becoming a servant. He didn't even care about what his master planned to do. He just "felt that the other person was a good person." Just carry out the order without asking for such a nonsense reason? This servant is too dedicated! Apologize to the other Masters who are suffering from stomachaches because of their disobedient servants! Okay, the last complaint was not from Joan of Arc, but from the narrator.

Ahem! Let's get back to the topic - "Even if your Master wants to destroy all mankind?" Joan of Arc also plans to try harder to see if she can win the other party to her side.

"Destroy all mankind? I have said before, there is no doubt that my Master is not a bad person, he cannot do such a thing!" Karna frowned slightly, feeling very unhappy with Jeanne's "groundless slander" .

"You..." Joan of Arc wanted to continue saying something.

"Stop talking nonsense!" The priest's urging came from the words. Karna had no intention of continuing to talk nonsense. He raised his spear and stabbed it directly with the power of the magic power (fire).

boom--! ! ! The flames, as hot as the sun, exploded where Jeanne had just stood. Fortunately, Jeanne jumped back when the attack came, and escaped the burning of the flames far away.

However, this undoubted signal to start war made her know that her words had no effect on this servant.

... Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang - After several exchanges of blows, Jeanne felt the increasingly hot air around her, and felt increasingly uncomfortable in her heart.

The opponent's strength and agility were comparable to his own. Although his endurance value was a little lower, it could not be reflected in a short battle.

Moreover, every attack of this son of the Sun God carries the power of magic release (fire), which not only greatly enhances the strength of the attack, but also comes with a scorching flame attack. If her [Revelation] skill were not used in battle, It has an effect similar to prediction, which more or less offsets the disadvantages in this aspect... In general, it can be said that the outcome of the close combat between the two sides is difficult to determine.

However, Joan of Arc, who has the privilege of the Ruler class, knows that these are just the most common attacks of Karna. Once the opponent uses the anti-army or even anti-national treasure, she is definitely no match, let alone that even the gods can The gun of extermination that kills with one blow.

What should I do? Use the Command Seal now? But she only has two absolute command rights for each servant, and the other's Master has three command spells. If they are offset... No, even if they are offset, as long as there is even a momentary gap, she will have it. Opportunity... Just as he was thinking this, the enemy sensor detected another servant approaching at high speed, and Jeanne's heart suddenly sank.

‘The other party’s reinforcements...it’s troublesome! 'Although she knew that Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, a former Ruler, still retained some of the abilities of the Ruler class, and it was normal to anticipate her arrival in advance, she did not expect that the other party had such a strong murderous intention towards her that he actually sent two The knights and servants attacked together... "Hey! Lancer, I've been waiting for a long time, and you haven't solved it yet!" Unexpectedly, the visitor did not directly join the battlefield, but instead stood at a more peripheral place to attack Jia. Erner said hello.

He is... the Red Rider, Achilles! Joan of Arc confirmed the identity of the second servant, and her heart suddenly became very heavy.

Two in a row, both of them are super heroes. Her actions this time seem to be a bit reckless! ... On the other side, Achilles, who arrived belatedly, did not besiege Joan of Arc with Karna. For him, as a great hero of the Gods, it did not matter that the enemy was a woman, but besieging a person with others would be a problem. It's so shameless, he can't do this kind of thing.

A true man should beat his opponent to pieces in a one-on-one fight! In addition, he didn't really want to obey the orders of the black-bellied priest. He had no interest in intercepting the Ruler who was supposed to be the referee for no reason. Besides, since Karna had already taken action, he was too lazy to get involved.

"Although she is a woman, this saint is not a weak servant."

In response to Achilles' slightly mocking urging, Karna just responded coldly without any emotional fluctuations.

Yes, it can be seen from the battle just now that although he had some advantages because of the skill of releasing (fire) with magic power, the opponent's spearmanship that seemed to predict was indeed very powerful.

However, if his treasure is used, Karna believes that no one can resist his power! "Brahmastra, cover the earth!" After calling out the true name of the treasure, the son of the sun god ignited a hotter flame and flew high into the sky. Then all the flames on his body gathered on the strange-shaped spear, and the [Immortal Blade] turned into a heavier and sharper spear shape, stabbing down at the saint below.

Then in the next moment——"Luminosite Eternelle!"')230'\u003eChapter 229 God bless? Or someone bless?

"Luminosite Eternelle!" With a cry, a holy light like from heaven enveloped the saint waving the flag, blocking the spear thrown by the son of the sun god.

——Boom——!!! There was a moment of silence, followed by extremely violent explosions and flames. The terrain around the battlefield was once again crushed and reshaped by inhuman forces. Roads, rocks, and trees were all destroyed by the aftermath of the collision between the "gun" and the "shield".

Even Achilles, who was watching the battle, had to retreat in front of the splashing flames - the flames were the sun fire stained with the divinity of the sun, and his immortal body could not defend against this! "Oh, it was blocked!" Seeing his treasure being taken head-on, Karna was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there would be such a strong hero among the heroes born after the Age of Gods. "However, such a strong defense should not be unlimited!" Thinking of this, Karna upgraded the power of the treasure [Immortal Blade] again. "Brahmastra Kundala, curse me!" With the injection of more magic power, the flames gushing out of [Immortal Blade] suddenly expanded and turned into a dazzling fireball like the sun, completely covering the entire battlefield and even the surrounding thousands of meters. The terrible explosion close to the level of a small nuclear explosion instantly turned this place into a scorched earth.

Tear - A small piece of debris tore off from the holy flag with iris patterns.

This is the characteristic of the top-level defensive treasure [My Lord is Here]. Although it can convert Jeanne's Ex-level magic power into physical defense of the same level, every time it is used, the flag itself will accumulate damage. Once the flag itself is completely damaged, the treasure will be completely useless and can no longer provide protection for Jeanne.

Now, just after taking a blow from the national treasure, the flag has already broken. Jeanne knows that this cannot continue! 　　"In the name of Ruler, order the red Lancer..."　　Before Jeanne finished her order, countless iron stakes suddenly appeared in the void, piercing the Son of the Sun God and knocking him away, and even the javelin he stabbed out was forced to retract, unable to continue to attack.

After escaping from the bombardment of the national treasure, Jeanne gave up on continuing to cast the Command Spell, breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to look at one side of the battlefield - "Lancer and Saber of the black side? No, there is Archer too..." She nodded slightly to the archduke and swordsman who appeared from one side of the battlefield, as a thank you for the rescue, and then turned her eyes to the distant hilltop. There, although it was invisible to the naked eye, Jeanne, as a Ruler, could sense that the archers of the black side were there.

So that's why her [Revelation] skill didn't stop her when she decided to charge alone. She thought she was too reckless before, but it turned out that there were reinforcements! Well, that's right, her actions were all in accordance with God's revelation, it's not that she didn't understand strategy, she only knew the word "reckless"... Yes, that's it! (Serious face) After a night and most of the day, the servants of the black side went out again, and the three knights went out at once, and went straight to the two remaining ace forces of the red side, and rescued the judge who was in a bad situation.

"Ruler, Joan of Arc, right? I am the Grand Duke of Wallachia, Vlad III.

Although you, as a judge, may not be willing to form an alliance with us black side, but seeing that you took the initiative to trouble the red side, you should not mind fighting together with us, right?" The Grand Duke did not recruit like Gold in the original plot.

His attitude towards Joan of Arc is a real interpretation of the saying "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". There is no talk of alliance or not. Just talking about the reality, everyone is hostile to the red side, so fighting together as temporary comrades is a natural result.

And Jeanne's reaction is completely different from that in the original story - "Of course I don't mind! In fact, I came to the world as a Ruler class to correct the anomalies that occurred in this Holy Grail War.

After my investigation, there is no doubt that a Master of the Red Team is the culprit of this anomaly. I hope that you, the Black Team's servants, can lend me a hand and hold back the Red Team's Lancer and Rider!" Well, she agreed to become a temporary comrade-in-arms very straightforwardly, and even took the initiative to ask the Black Team's servants for help. This is completely different from the reaction to Gold's recruitment in the original plot.

This is also due to the change in the situation. In the original plot, Jeanne did not know the real purpose of her coming to the world when facing the Black Team's recruitment, so she naturally had a businesslike attitude.

Now, she has made it clear that she wants to eliminate the "abnormal matters", which is also a businesslike matter, but she can now seek external assistance in a fair and compliant manner.

(Of course, the author himself thinks that this is likely to be related to the lobbyist's appearance - one is a handsome old man with a face full of hesitation and vicissitudes and extraordinary charm, and the other is a fat man with a greasy body and a beer belly. Which one has a higher favorability... Isn't it obvious!) "Help you hold them back?" The Grand Duke looked at the two heroes on the opposite side, and then looked at the combat effectiveness of his side. He felt that he could fight, so he nodded and did not refuse.

Anyway, the red side and the black side are enemies. Even if Jeanne is not present, the two sides will have to fight when they meet.

If you agree now, you can also earn a wave of favorability from the judge. After all, even if it is the Ruler, it is impossible for him to be a saint without desires. This favorability is likely to play an unexpected role at a critical moment! 　　So, accompanied by the iron stakes piercing the void, the dim sword energy shooting out from the sword tip, and the precise arrows shot from the distant mountains and forests, the war started again.

However, this time, the two heroes of the Red Team were not facing the solitary Saint of France, but the three knights of the Black Team who were well prepared! 　　Avoiding the battlefield where the two sides were fighting, Joan of Arc rushed straight to the direction revealed in [Revelation], where her goal was! 　　… 　　In the space city, seeing the Black Team Heroic Spirit arrive in time to rescue Joan of Arc, and also take the initiative to take over the battle with the two servants of the Red Team, Fang Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

Fortunately, he made a second-hand preparation. If Joan of Arc really used the Command Seal just now, it would be a waste of a precious opportunity.

After all, not to mention whether Amakusa Shiro Tokisada could use the Master's Command Seal to offset Joan of Arc's order in time, the key is that even if Karna stood there and let Joan of Arc attack at will, unless she used "Joan of Arc Explosion"... Excuse me, it's [Saint of Red Lotus], otherwise she can't kill the opponent at all! ')231'\u003eChapter 230 The "Sky Garden" Appeared in Advance

In fact, even if this Command Seal is used on the heel, the effect will be much better than using it on the Little Sun! 　　The Golden Armor is too powerful. It not only provides the Son of the Sun with extremely strong defense, but also gives him a powerful immortality that can recover even fatal injuries.

Unless the Little Sun strips off his armor, in this Holy Grail War, no Servant's attack can really kill him except Jeanne's self-destructing sword! 　　And Jeanne obviously cannot use the self-destructing attack on Karna before achieving the purpose of this descent, so no matter what order she wanted to issue with the Command Seal before, in the end it can only be a waste of a good opportunity to reverse the situation.

But Fang Yuan wants Jeanne to consume the power of the Red Side, not the Red Side! Fortunately, in order to prevent Jeanne from completely overturning, Fang Yuan prepared another backup plan in advance. With the help of the mind interference ability of "suspended loop", he quietly influenced the magicians in the Yugdomirenia clan who were responsible for reconnaissance with their familiars, and asked them to slightly shift the reconnaissance area of ​​their familiars towards the route Jeanne passed by, which smoothly allowed them to discover the movements of Jeanne and the red servant.

For Danic, although this Ruler has become less important in the case of several outsiders disrupting the situation, he can't just sit back and watch her being killed by the red side.

So, naturally, the Yugdomirenia side once again sent three main combat forces to the scene when Jeanne needed help the most.

... "Lancer of the black side, the former king of this land, you are my opponent? Not bad!" Although Jeanne was let go, there was another opponent who looked equally strong, so Karna wouldn't be too picky.

"Lancer of the red team, Karna, the son of the sun god in Indian mythology, although you are a respectable hero in the legend, but since you are now standing on the opposite side of me and trying to invade my territory, there is nothing more to say!" After making such a declaration, the Grand Duke launched a preemptive attack with the piercing iron stakes as usual. Hundreds and thousands of sharp iron stakes emerged from all directions in the void, and launched a stabbing attack towards the son of the sun god in the center.

Boom—bang—! Facing this kind of attack with no blind spots, Karna's response method is very simple, that is, he is wrapped in high-temperature flames that can melt gold and iron, burning all the iron piles trying to get close to him, and with the help of the reverse thrust of the flames, He turned himself into a humanoid rocket, flew high into the sky, and played a barrage avoidance game with the Grand Duke.

... "Hmph! It's you again!" Karna had already fought fiercely with the Grand Duke, and the one standing in front of Achilles was naturally Siegfried.

For Saber, who is inferior to him in every aspect, the demigod hero is actually a little disdainful - without divinity, he can't even hurt himself, and he can't be considered a real opponent at all! As for Black's Archer, Chiron, the ancient centaur sage who has a master-disciple relationship with Achilles, because the last battle in the forest did not directly collide with Achilles, but was suddenly shown up. The coming Decepticons disrupted the situation.

Therefore, until now, Heel didn't know that there was an archer from the Age of Gods on Black's side who could penetrate the defense of [The Brave's Immortal Flower]. Instead, he always thought that it was just an ordinary Archer.

However, such slights eventually cost Achilles.

Just as Achilles relied on his immortality to suppress Siegfried all the way, he shot a precise and vicious arrow from the mountain forest. Achilles originally planned to be as careless as he was with other miscellaneous fish. Resist directly without hesitation.

However, when an arrow almost pierced Achilles' neck, he realized that the black Archer who was hiding and shooting cold arrows was his real opponent! Pfft - "Hmph!" Pulling out the arrow that almost tore his throat, Achilles snorted coldly, and at the same time secretly felt some lingering fear - just a little bit, just a little bit, he almost died here. The arrow is down! Fortunately, this unknown Archer with divinity is not the kind of heroic spirit with very powerful arrows. Instead, he is strong in the exquisiteness and accuracy of archery. With his physical strength, although this arrow hurt him Injured, but not seriously injured at least.

‘This wound is deep, and the opponent’s divinity is at least A level. Is he a legendary archer from the Gods? ’ Achilles had doubts in his heart and naturally wanted to find out the answer.

But they saw that he ignored the sword blade coming from the Black Saber, abandoned the poor Mr. Sorry, summoned a chariot drawn by three divine horses, and rushed directly into the forest outside the battlefield, like a steamroller. " With a rumble, he crushed all obstacles in front of him and galloped straight towards the direction where the arrow came from.

The former master and apprentice, now the opponents, are about to meet again in a life-and-death battlefield! ​​…‘It’s close, it’s close! ' Following the [revelation] that came from somewhere, Joan of Arc headed towards the target area by the shortest route. The outline of the church had already appeared in her eyes. Soon, she would be able to see the man who tried to save all mankind, but in fact For the "saint" who destroyed all mankind, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada! However, just when Joan of Arc was about to step into the church--boom--! ! ! There was a violent earthquake-like vibration on the ground. The church made of bricks and stones collapsed. From the ruins and rubble, a floating city that only appeared in myths and legends rose! "This is..." Although, as a legendary heroic spirit, it is already a legend in the minds of ordinary people, but she was just an ordinary village girl during her lifetime. At most, she was Spar who led a group of Frenchmen and beat up a British guy. Even though she was a village girl, Joan of Arc was still shocked by the scene in front of her.

"...Floating Castle...No, it should be the Floating Fortress. Is this the trump card that Amakusa Shirou Tokisada has been preparing for a long time?" ... It took me at least three days of ceremony to build the sky garden, but it was completed in just over a day!” The lazy and decadent empress was like a queen who ruled over her kingdom, wearing gorgeous and complicated clothes! Wearing an exquisite dress, she sat on her own throne, with her legs crossed and her chin resting on one hand, praising her Master with sincere words.

')232'\u003eChapter 231 The Earth King is under great pressure

"There's nothing we can do. This year's Rulers came too fast! Lancer and Rider were held back by Black's servants again. If we don't summon this fortress, we will lose this war. !" Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, who had resumed his Japanese samurai attire, said in a helpless tone.

After all, the current situation is indeed very unfavorable. Although Rider and Lancer have become his followers, one seems to be addicted to fighting different powerful opponents, and the other does not really obey him at all. When Black's followers appear, , they all unanimously let Joan of Arc go.

On his side, although he has three servants, he seems to have a numerical advantage, but in terms of quality... Needless to say, Shakespeare, as a playwright, became a Caster, and he could use the Noble Phantasm. There is only one that has no actual lethality [the moment of the performance has arrived, there should be thunderous applause (First Folio)]. In addition to exposing people's scars, it can only play a role in delaying time.

As for Semiramis, who possesses both Assassin and Caster qualifications, he is also a weakling without summoning the Sky Garden. Facing Jeanne, who is considered a strong one among many servants, he can only be defeated.

As for himself, although he can connect to any magic matrix and use any magic because of his Noble Phantasms [Right Hand - Evil Eater] and [Left Hand - Xanadu Matrix] on his arms, he cannot even protect himself in front of Jeanne who has magic resistance EX.

Even if he has [Twin Arm - Big Crunch] as a trump card, which is powerful enough to rival those powerful Noble Phantasms of first-class servants, he cannot use it at all before he seizes the Greater Holy Grail as a source of magic power.

Therefore, facing this "desperate situation", Amakusa Shiro Tokisada could only reluctantly abandon the two command seals, and with the help of his Noble Phantasm ability, he forcibly accelerated the process of Semiramis building the aerial garden, and finally summoned this final trump card before the last moment.

... "This is really bad..." Looking at the aerial fortress that had already flown a hundred meters above the sky, Jeanne, who had no ability to fly, showed a distressed expression.

Her [Revelation] skill and Ruler class privileges told her that Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, who was plotting to "save" all mankind, was in that fortress, but she could not reach the goal that was so close.

'Almighty Lord, please give revelation to the lost lamb! ' Praying silently in her heart, Jeanne hoped that the God who had always favored her could guide her again.

However, a moment later, the pious Saint did not see a way out of the problem from God's [Revelation], but saw the magic bombardment from the sky! 　　Boom——!!! The Ex-level counterattack technique is called [Tiamtum Umu]. It consists of eleven pitch-black plates with a total length of more than 20 meters. Although only one is activated at this time, the magic shells fired from it also have the power of a falling meteorite. When it hits the ground, the area where Joan of Arc was originally standing immediately turned into a huge meteorite crater.

"What a close call!" At the last moment, with the help of the predictive ability brought by the [Revelation] skill, Joan of Arc narrowly escaped the bombing area. Looking at the huge pit on the ground with dark red lava flowing, her heart sank. This aerial fortress still has such a powerful attack power. It's really troublesome! ... "Tsk, did you actually dodge it?" The empress sitting on the throne frowned slightly unhappy. She thought that she could help her master solve the little trouble below with just this move, but she didn't expect that the other party actually dodged it! "Semiramis, don't underestimate the Heroic Spirit who can become the Ruler!" Amakusa Shiro Tokisada said to his most trusted Servant: "Although I am only a useless second-rate Servant, the one below is also the strongest among all the Heroic Spirits who are qualified to become the Ruler. It's just that there is no way to defeat her at this level!" "... Tsk!" The Assyrian empress didn't say much with a somewhat unhappy sound, but the magic bombardment that continued to bombard the ground seemed to become more and more intensive.

... "Tsk tsk tsk, he actually summoned the floating city so early? This Amakusa Shiro Tokisada is really capable!" In the real space city, Fang Yuan looked at the sky courtyard on the ground that had turned into an aerial turret and bombed Jeanne d'Arc so hard that she had no room to breathe, and sighed.

"Hey, uncle, are you just watching Jeanne being bombed and doing nothing? Are you not going to support her?" Yuzuka Satsuki, who was watching the live broadcast of the Fourth Holy Grail War with Fang Yuan, saw Jeanne being driven into a state of great embarrassment by the bombardment, and she didn't know what was wrong with her. She kept urging Fang Yuan to come down and help.

"Okay, okay, I'll help you, don't shake it!" Fang Yuan shook his shoulders, shook off the claws of the vampire that seemed to be getting bolder and bolder recently, and then snapped his fingers-"[Friday], turn over the list of long-range strike weapons that can be used now for me to see."
