The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

The statue was naturally not without any defenses; another sacred rune related to Horus appeared here, namely the sacred Eye of Horus.

賀＾謀＾＇：㈨‖★〇四☆＊哵″⊙㈣∠〔兒～救℃#０—〖物 This eye not only symbolizes supreme royal power and divine protection, but also represents completeness and invulnerability, because Horus offered this reclaimed eye to Osiris.

The rune that appeared blocked the Martial Venerable's attack, but silently, an old man with white hair wearing a Zhongshan suit clenched his fist and slammed it into the statue.

"Assassin?"

Upon seeing the elderly man in a Zhongshan suit who had suddenly appeared, Musashi exclaimed in surprise, but the other two beside him seemed to have already noticed.

Ushi-Gozen seized the opportunity to step forward as well, but instead of attacking, she aimed her weapon at the hand holding the T-shaped cross on the statue.

The elderly man in white, wearing a Zhongshan suit, was none other than Assassin Li Shuwen.

While Li Shuwen generally manifests in his prime as a Lancer, under special circumstances he may manifest in his later years as an Assassin.

This is because Li Shuwen's physical prime was naturally during his youth, but his martial arts reached their peak in his later years.

Having cultivated the principles of martial arts to their peak, Li Shuwen also mastered a skill called the Circle Realm, which reached its ultimate level.

This is the ability to perceive one's surroundings with one's heart and to become one with the universe. When this extreme state is reached, even one's figure will naturally become transparent.

In his old age, Li Shuwen was even able to assimilate his internal energy with nature while in combat, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Therefore, with the ability of the Circle Realm, Li Shuwen is often able to gain the absolute initiative in battle.

The moment his opponent can spot him is the moment he throws his steel fist, and very few can defend against that blow.

Li Shuwen is known as the Unparalleled Fist Master. His Noble Phantasm, Unparalleled, is a Noble Phantasm that is a sublimation of his skills. It does not use the power of his fist to defeat the enemy, but rather uses his aura to injure people.

However, this technique is more geared towards attacking people. It targets the nervous system, causing the opponent's vagus nerve reflex to stop their heartbeat, leading to death from shock.

Therefore, what is used here is not "Wu Er Da" (无二打), but one of the profound principles of Bajiquan – "Meng Hu Yin Pa Shan" (猛虎硬爬山).

Compared to "No Second Strike," which is ultimately just a single blow to a person, "Tiger Climbs the Mountain" focuses on physical damage.

There's no need to understand the opponent's rhythm or psychology; simply unleash a smooth, continuous attack to channel the power of the earth forward—a purely destructive strike.

This is a punch released after merging oneself with heaven and earth, drawing upon the power of the earth to easily shatter anything, whether it be a human or a wall.

The same was true of the eyes of the statue in front, which reflected the sun's heat; even though the flames were burning the arm, the fist had already struck the eye.

The fierce punch shattered the stone, the reflected sunlight vanished instantly, and the sun disk flying in the sky paused before falling to the ground.

(9) The hand holding the Anka symbol, which is a T-shaped cross, was easily severed by Ushi-Gozen's sword.

Si lowered the hand that was holding the scepter from its raised position, and the end of the scepter touched the ground again, but this time it did not have the same effect as before.

8. "Surely it should collapse by now. After all this effort, it can't be that it can't even get past the first door."

2. Feeling the pressure on his body suddenly disappear, Musashi breathed a sigh of relief and straightened up, but he didn't dare to relax. His weapon was still pointed at the statue, and his eyes were observing the surroundings.

4. "It looks like there's still some left."

(3) Arjuna simply said, and then drew back the bowstring, using magic to create flames and arrows.

3 Horus also has a form of aimlessness, and in Sekhim, in the eastern Nile Delta of Egypt, there is a worship of the aimless Horus.

That deity is often compared to Atum, the sun god of the evening, and is a dangerous god.

5. The statue raised its scepter and struck the ugly Gozen who had just swung it and cut off one of his hands. The ugly Gozen stood there, as if unable to move due to fear.

The Ugly Queen did not retreat immediately after cutting off the arm, in an attempt to take the T-shaped cross held by the arm, but she found it difficult to remove it from the statue's tightly clenched hand.

Seeing that the matter was beyond saving, Ushi no Gozen immediately drew her sword and cut the T-shaped cross in half. However, when she tried to retreat, she was already locked in place and unable to move.

It wasn't until she was struck by the scepter that she was sent flying backward and crashed into the wall, blood seeping from her armor, before she regained her ability to move.

"He concentrated his divine oppression on a single person. Unless one is a god, no one can escape it, but the scope should only be one person."

Ugly Gozen ignored her injuries and quickly spoke up. Although she couldn't resist the oppression, as the son of the Ox-Headed Heavenly King, she still possessed a sufficiently strong body.

If Musashi were hit by this attack, he would probably be completely defeated, but Ushi Gozen is still able to recover.

Samson remained undeterred and, once he was able to move again, swung his fist directly at the statue.

Arjuna, meanwhile, kept his distance while drawing his bow and arrow, using the arrows in his hand to chip away at the statue.

Although losing his sight and the statue makes him more threatening, the loss of his regenerative abilities makes him less powerful.

By the time the statue raised its hand again, Arjuna's arrow had already slain a third of its body.

Samson also stared intently at the statue's remaining hand, attempting with his superhuman strength to pry it off.

The statue couldn't stop Arjuna in time, so it could only use its own strength to push Samson away and pin him to the ground, rendering him unable to move for a short period of time.

The statue then raises its scepter again, this time lifting the sun disc that has fallen to the ground.

This disc is a symbol of sanctification and an embodiment of the sun. The blind man devotes himself entirely to the disc, which here is manifested as the winged sun disc.

The image of this winged sun disk was recorded on the Temple of Edfu during the Old Kingdom period.

The walls of the temple record the myth of Horus, who is depicted as a winged sun disc, who defeated Set, who led crocodiles and hippos.

The rising sun disk shot out rays of light, which resembled surging, blazing serpents of the sun.

Arjuna's flaming arrows, fired in quick succession, were unable to reach their destination and turned to ashes; these rapidly fired arrows indeed lacked sufficient power.

"Please stop the sun from flying away for me, and I will destroy it with the heavenly fire of Agni."

"Do not worry."

Musashi swung his twin swords, severing the rushing light, and shouted to Samson, "Berserker, help stop it!"

Samson immediately jumped up, wanting to hug the entire sun disk with his body.

The shooting flames instantly burned his body and emitted a large amount of smoke.

"That's too reckless."

Samson held on for half a minute before letting go and falling to the ground, his upper body resembling a charred steak.

But there was enough time. Arjuna wouldn't place his hopes on others. Even if no one stopped him, he could buy himself more time.

A full-force attack was immediately unleashed, and the arrow, powerful enough to cover the entire palace, struck the disc directly.

Chapter Forty-Three: The Road Ahead

The disc, with little defense, began to crack continuously amidst a deafening roar, showing signs of shattering.

But before the destruction, a final beam of sunlight was emitted, releasing a light that covered the entire room.

Some of them are only characterized by their scorching heat, the fire of the sun manifested solely in temperature.

In an instant, flames surged and engulfed the entire hall, turning the Servants there into objects of boiling at a temperature hot enough to melt the place.

The palace dome, which was closest to the flames, was already showing signs of melting. The walls, formed by the divine power that had been unleashed, were difficult for ordinary Servants to break through, and even weaker Noble Phantasms would need to repeat the attack to breach them.

At this moment, it was slowly melting, and the first point of contact under the high temperature began to crack, and the falling debris had turned into liquid.

And the Servants here, except for the two strongest, would probably find it difficult to withstand such terrifying heat.

This is not just a brief burst of high temperature from a spray, but a long-lasting, dark red magic that subtly glows, further escalating the effect and transforming the palace into a smelting furnace.

The moment the flames approached Musashi, her expression changed drastically. She frantically swung her twin swords, trying to cut through the air to stop the flames from spreading.

But this was a futile effort; the suppressed fireworks then surged forth as even higher waves of flame.

The katana, swung at high speed, should theoretically be able to extinguish flames of this size in an instant, but at this moment it could only extinguish small flames.

The next moment, Wu Sizang was about to be completely swallowed by the flames. With just a little imagination, one could know what would happen next. Even though his body was made of magic, he would still be destroyed by the flames in an instant.

Only when the surging waves rose up, the eight-headed giant serpent formed by the turbulent waves was once again released from the Martial Venerable's sword.

With the power derived from the Yamata no Orochi by the Kusanagi sword, even the most devastating floods can alleviate the unparalleled heat.

Within the flames, however, there was still a person bathing in the fire, still able to let out furious roars, though the sound was gradually weakening.

The green-haired fighter could still swing his fist, which was wrapped in the power of blessing, as the flames scorched his flesh and burned his body.

When the flames touched it, the body should have been burned to ashes, or even vaporized, but it kept regenerating under the influence of that terrifying life force.

Therefore, this fighter was still able to walk under the flames, only slowly as they eroded his flesh.

This terrible pain erodes a person's nerves. Without this terrible vitality, a person would naturally not suffer, but the constant recovery brings pain.

The fighter unleashed another terrifying punch, fueled by his rage. The already shattered disc did not dodge the blow but was struck by the opponent's fist.

After the fist touched the sun disk and produced a terrifying explosion, an even more terrifying sound, perhaps capable of blinding a person in an instant, or even bursting forth with light and heat that could incinerate them, followed.

Ugly Gozen, who was slightly closer to the door, was directly pushed away by the terrifying shockwave. She didn't even have time to grab onto anything before she was already soaring into the air.

This was already a reduced version of the power of the fifth card (8), and Arjuna, in the first instance, used the sixth card of his hand, Gandibar, to construct the fourth card (4) for defense. (2)

It was a shield constructed from arrows and flames, resembling a mirror. Four arrows formed a square plane, which constituted the shield.

What appears at once is not just a flat surface, but a complete shield made up of squares, like a magical defensive barrier in a fantasy novel.

The terrifying force unleashed when the solar disk exploded struck the shield and was completely blocked, with only the edges shattering and some of the force leaking out.

Wu Zun also wielded the Kusanagi Sword, timely blocking some of the damage, but for a moment he did not pay attention to Ushi Gozen, who was resting a little distance away.

"Berserker!"

Waiting for the energy fluctuations to subside, Musashi immediately leaped out from behind Arjuna, slicing away the remaining magical light with his twin swords, and rushed forward.

Samson, who faced this terrible fluctuation, only saw a black outline of a human figure on the ground, and only the green hair that could still be seen confirmed his identity.

"Still alive? 玖∩０■—4→ˉ㈧/４②酒≤～０五蒐‰“索≤ˉＱ羣&〔："

As the Martial Venerable followed behind, he sensed an extremely faint aura. Even in this state, Samson was still not dead.

And Samson was gradually swelling up at an extremely rapid pace, reviving from his almost burned-to-ash state.

Samson's life force, blessed by God, was not truly infinite, but only appeared to be infinite; in reality, it was merely close to immortality.

His immortality is essentially a powerful defense and incredible regenerative ability, but if he suffers an injury that can kill him in an instant, he cannot return from death.

However, if one does not die and one's weaknesses are not eliminated, then it is indeed as if one possesses true immortality, and no matter how fatal the injury, it can be overcome.

It seems he wasn't killed immediately this time, so the subsequent attacks weren't enough to kill him either, giving him time to recover quickly.

"Such amazing vitality. Although he lost his mind because of the Berserker class, he must have been an incredible hero to have such immortality and terrifying aura."

Samson's once-agonizing body is now gradually recovering, and it looks like it will be back to normal in just a little while, which makes one sigh with admiration.

"Although it took a lot of effort, there was no loss in the end, so let's keep moving forward."
