Because he possessed the [Unfading Flower of the Brave], he also lost the knowledge he learned from Chiron at the beginning, which was to remain vigilant against any enemy.
After all, in the eyes of Achilles, any enemy who cannot break through the defense of [The Everlasting Flower of the Brave] is not worthy of being his opponent.
If it can't even break through my own defense, do I need to be wary of it?
This is what Achilles thought.
So from the very beginning of the battle, Chiron said: "Being dazed on the battlefield is not the quality of a warrior."
You know, the so-called "Everlasting Flower of the Brave" also has a fatal weakness, which is what Chiron has been reminding Achilles of after he became his disciple.
At this moment, Achilles no longer had any way to ignore the attacks of the black servants, but after tonight, how many black servants would be left?
"Don't be ridiculous. How could my [Sky Garden] be defeated by Caster who can only create puppets?!!!"
The red Assassin sitting on the throne had a look of anger in his eyes.
If you want to know why.
The giant had grown to the point where he could almost block out the sky and the sun. His terrifying figure stood in front of the [Sky Courtyard]. His entire head was one tenth the size of the [Sky Courtyard]. Anyone would feel insignificant under such a terrifying giant.
You know, at this time the [Sky Courtyard] was floating hundreds of meters in the air, but the giant lowered his head and looked at the [Sky Courtyard] in front of him, and suddenly stretched out his hand and punched it.
One could even see the terrifying airflow in the atmosphere rushing towards his fist at an extremely fast speed.
Even though the speed is not that fast, as a behemoth, speed is not that important. It is impossible for the [Sky Courtyard] to dodge such an attack.
If this giant moves his steps at this moment, the damage caused to the world and to the servants who are still fighting below will be enormous.
"boom--!"
The courtyard suspended in the air suddenly sank, and the huge impact caused the barrier to shatter slightly.
I believe that if he takes a few more punches, the defense of the sky courtyard will be paralyzed and can be easily destroyed by this giant.
The Red Assassin received information from his Master that his head and core must be destroyed at the same time when his feet leave the ground in order to be completely destroyed.
And this information was also told to him by Kotomine Shiro's revelation.
After fighting Jack the Ripper and obtaining the Holy Grail, Shiro Kotomine immediately informed his servants of the giant's weakness.
But now Assassin can't get rid of the giant.
Light cannon?
If the magic light cannon could destroy the giant so easily, then it would not be able to stand in front of the [Sky Courtyard].
poison?
It is just a summoned puppet, and the poison has no use to it at all. Even the corrosion contained in it is like an itch to it, or even worse.
It can be said that there is almost no damage.
The Black Coffin of Ten and One (Tiamtum Umu)?
Although their attacks have the power of a broken army level, each strike is equivalent to a meteorite falling from the sky.
But just like the light cannons released before, they could not cause fatal damage to it in one go, and there was no way to eliminate it.
She never thought that she would worry about a puppet. She thought her only enemies were her servants.
These terrifying weapons are actually useless at this time. They have no effect at all on this kind of puppet with extremely high growth and recovery ability.
In fact, Assassin has already figured out how to deal with the giant.
However, by the time she reacted, she was no longer able to destroy her brain, core, and legs at the same time.
The ground continuously provides it with energy, and the giants provide protection for the ground. With the two complementing each other, the attacks of [Sky Courtyard] can hardly damage the ground.
It is a good idea to gather a large amount of power to destroy the ground beneath its feet, creating a vacuum period.
But you have to know that the growth of a giant is not just about size. Its defense and attack power increase almost exponentially.
The light cannon that could originally easily destroy it into pieces could now only penetrate its body, and it could even recover at an extremely fast speed, so that its light cannon and its body were constantly recovering and being consumed.
A single shot of light cannon couldn't even penetrate its body.
If you want to destroy this ever-growing giant all at once, it is impossible to do so without paying a price.
The Red Team's Assassin once again felt the vibration coming from above the [Sky Courtyard].
There was no time to hesitate.
The next second, her figure disappeared from the throne.
It also disappeared above the [Sky Courtyard].
Chapter 171: Return of Rider
[Sky Courtyard] crashed into the giant's chest at an extremely terrifying speed.
The enormous force even carried the impact force and blasted the giant back. The [Sky Courtyard] that was supposed to be a magic battlefield was now used by Assassin as a huge stone, pushing the giant back.
But, this was her purpose.
"Fantasy Collapse!!!"
Destroying one's own Noble Phantasm to release the terrifying power contained within is not an attack method exclusive to Shirou Emiya. All servants can use [Illusion Collapse].
However, it is not easy to repair a damaged Noble Phantasm. For a Servant, destroying his own Noble Phantasm is equivalent to committing suicide.
Under normal circumstances, a Servant would never destroy his own Noble Phantasm through [Illusion Collapse].
We will soon know the power of the Ex-level Noble Phantasm's self-destruction.
EX does not mean powerful or beyond imagination, but due to various reasons, the level of the Noble Phantasm cannot be accurately measured.
EX Noble Phantasm represents more uncertainty. Perhaps this Noble Phantasm has A+++ level power, or perhaps the power of this Noble Phantasm only reaches C level.
But the level of a Noble Phantasm is never determined solely by power.
If we go by power, the Red Assassin's Noble Phantasm can indeed be said to surpass A-rank.
After all, just the simplest artillery fire of this [Sky Courtyard] has already reached the output of most heroes' A-level Noble Phantasms.
If Atalanta's treasure faced the light cannon of the [Sky Courtyard] directly, it would probably be easily intercepted by the light cannon.
Those arrows were simply unable to penetrate those beams of light and could only be turned into ashes.
But putting the [Sky Garden] in close contact with the Giant has already achieved the Red Team Assassin's goal.
"boom----!"
Intense light burst out from the center of the Sky Courtyard. The heat was so horrifying that one could see the entire Sky Courtyard transform into a fierce sun that exploded from the giant's chest.
An extremely powerful white light burst out from it, and within a radius of several thousand meters, objects illuminated by the light will instantly vaporize.
Almost all the Dragon Tooth Soldiers turned into dust and scattered in the air in this fierce white light.
Just as it started to explode, it already showed a radiance as hot as his sun.
Shirou Emiya couldn't imagine what kind of hell it would be like when it exploded.
"Buzz!"
With a thunderous sound that shook the earth, the entire giant was surrounded by waves of white hot flames. Thick smoke rose into the sky like an overwhelming sandstorm, accompanied by scarlet flames that bloomed glamorously, like gorgeous flowers of the other shore, competing for beauty.
"Pahji——!"
After the terrifying white flames engulfed the entire giant, Emiya seemed to hear the sound of something breaking.
The space where the entire giant was located was instantly shattered, and an extremely powerful airflow came towards them, sweeping away Shirou Emiya and Jeanne d'Arc.
"My Lord is here!!!"
Along with Jeanne's shout, golden light appeared in front of Shirou Emiya. Wave after wave of horrific impacts were all blocked by this shield that made Emiya feel extremely warm, and no amount of light could penetrate through.
The aftermath gradually stabilized.
And tonight's Holy Grail War should have ended here.
The three sides' battles have already been decided, and everything seems to indicate that tonight is over.
Everyone felt extremely tired tonight, with endless battles, collisions between heroic spirits, and between noble phantasms.
All the conflicts piled together make people feel extremely tired.
But wait, have we forgotten two most important things?
That is, in the entire Holy Grail War, there seem to be four main battlefields, and Astolfo, who is like a dragon without a white tail in the Holy Grail War.
The first battlefield is Vlad III, Siegfried and Frankenstein against Karna on the red side.
The second battlefield is between the original people and the sky courtyard.
The third battlefield is the duel between master and disciple, Achilles versus Chiron.
The battles on the three battlefields have ended.
And just after the explosion, a man with pink hair and dressed like a knight rode a griffin-like creature under his feet and sprinted down from the sky at an extremely fast speed and stopped in front of Shirou Emiya and Jeanne.
A young man who looked extremely weak appeared from behind him, greeting Shirou Emiya and Jeanne.
Emiya looked at the android with great suspicion, and saw three Command Seals neatly placed on the back of his hand.
"Did you kill your Master?"
Shirou Emiya looked at Astolfo, who had already changed the contract, with some disbelief. He never thought that Astolfo would actually attack his own Master in order to transfer the contract.
The moment Emiya Shirou saw the android next to Astolfo, he felt a sharp stinging sensation in the Command Seal in his hand.
This tingling sensation told him directly that the android in front of him was also a Master.
But Shirou Emiya had also seen this android, and he was not originally a Master.
Astolfo went to find a way to place the android, so he left the battlefield.
Hearing that Astolfo had left his position, Danic was very angry and asked Astolfo's master, Serenike Eskel, to chase back Astolfo who had fled the battlefield privately.
But now, only Astolfo and the android came back, which was extremely suspicious.
But since Astolfo's Master has been replaced, the fate of Serenike, the original Master, who went to chase Astolfo back, is almost certain.
Given Serenike's obsession with Astolfo and her perverted mentality, if she were still alive, she would never allow Astolfo's Master to be replaced by that android, nor would she watch these two people come back directly.
Shirou Emiya could not think of any other outcome except death.
This made Emiya silent.
"The one who killed my former Master was not him, and certainly not me, but the Black Assassin!"
Hearing Emiya Shirou's question, Astolfo quickly explained.
"Black Assassin?"
Shirou Emiya seemed to remember something, but also seemed to remember nothing. He felt that he had seen the black Assassin, but there was no information about the black Assassin in his mind.
"Yes, when he and I met our Master, Black Assassin appeared on the street with a bag in his hand, and killed her at a speed that I had no time to react to, and dug out her heart. In order to avoid leaving so easily, I chose to sign a contract with him."
written request for leave
My state has been a little weird recently, and the things I wrote are all weird. It may also be because I haven't seen any feedback during the Great Silent Period, so I feel a little unmotivated. I will adjust my state today, so there should be no update today. But don't worry, I will always make up for it tomorrow if I don't update today, so there will definitely be four updates tomorrow.
Chapter 172: Doing our utmost to rescue
"What was Assassin holding in his hand at that time?"
Astolfo stretched out his right hand, touched his head, frowned, and seemed to be thinking about something carefully, but he didn't seem to have come up with any answer.
"It seems that my memory of the battle in that town has also become blurry."
Astolfo spoke without beginning or end, as if some kind of fog was blocking his memory from continuing to explore deeper.
It made it impossible for him to remember any details about Black Assassin.
And Emiya, who was standing beside him, suddenly half-knelt on the ground in an extremely weak state.
Jeanne could feel that a large amount of magic power was being drawn from Emiya Shirou's body.
