I'm in a mess, starting with a meteor shower!

The massive axe and sword collided with the pristine lake, causing the air to tremble momentarily and creating a shockwave on the spot.

Fujimaru Ritsuka took a step back with her right leg, stomping hard into the mud.

Fujimaru Ritsuka glanced at her right foot, which was stuck in the mud, out of the corner of her eye, and gritted her teeth.

Even with the indestructible lake light boosting all her attributes by one level and the Great Hero's Robust EX enhancement, she still couldn't withstand Hercules's strength?

The sea is powerless to resist!

While Fujimaru Ritsuka was internally complaining, Hercules suddenly released his axe and sword, braced himself with both hands, performed a Thomas Flair, and then kicked Fujimaru Ritsuka, sending him flying.

This is the first time Fujimaru Ritsuka has been attacked since she transmigrated!

Book 1: Chapter 117. Achilles vs. Hercules

Numb, Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was flying backward, felt that her entire left arm was numb.

And after the brief numbness comes excruciating pain!

When Hercules suddenly changed his attack from a weapon strike to a gymnastic attack, Fujimaru Ritsuka reacted. He tried to swing his sword to attack Hercules directly, but Hercules dodged the attack while spinning around and kicked Fujimaru Ritsuka instead.

Fortunately, Fujimaru Ritsuka also took defensive measures, materializing Lancelot's armor on her arm to block the attack. The armor prevented Fujimaru Ritsuka's arm from making direct contact with Hercules's large foot, but the cost was that her arm was now probably covered in large bruises.

However, for Fujimaru Ritsuka, bruises were actually a good thing. For an ordinary person, being kicked like that would probably be the end of the ordeal!

Moreover, Fujimaru Ritsuka did retaliate.

As the main body was kicked away, the two clones behind him also launched an attack. With magic stones in their mouths, they frantically drew their bows and shot arrows, launching a continuous barrage of attacks on Hercules.

A single arrow is not enough to kill Hercules, but with the power of Arash, they can wound him with a single arrow.

Especially when Hercules kicked Fujimaru Ritsuka away, they directly targeted Hercules' leg and successfully crippled it.

Hercules' twelve trials can only negate attacks of B or lower. Fujimaru Ritsuka had been keeping an eye on this baseline, so with the magic stones replenishing their magic power, each arrow from these two clones reached a power of B or higher, just enough to injure Hercules.

Hercules, of course, would not sit idly by and wait to die. Even with one leg injured, he still had his other leg and both hands.

That's enough for him to kill the enemy!

Like a beast, Hercules crawled on one leg and both hands, dragging his broken leg, and quickly dodged left and right on the ground while lunging at Fujimaru Ritsuka's clone.

But just as he was about to get close to the clone, a green light appeared directly in front of him, followed by a spear wrapped in green light that stabbed directly at his face.

Hercules' fighting instincts made him instinctively twist his neck to dodge the shot, the tip of which grazed his face before piercing his shoulder.

"I originally planned to keep it as a trump card, but unfortunately, you're in more trouble than I imagined, so I have no choice but to reveal it."

Fujimaru Ritsuka held the gun in both hands and pressed it forcefully against Hercules.

After being sent flying backward, Fujimaru Ritsuka realized that even with all his buffs, he couldn't match Hercules in terms of power.

Since we can't compete in terms of strength, let's try a different approach! Let's use speed instead of strength!

He equipped himself with Achilles, which he hadn't originally intended to reveal!

Achilles vs. Heracles! The great hero of demigods vs. the great hero of demigods!

Let's see who's stronger in this showdown!

"Go back here!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka swung her spear, sending Hercules flying back.

"Now!"

The two clones behind him aimed directly at Hercules' head and fired a coordinated shot.

Two arrows struck Hercules directly in the head as he retreated, killing him instantly.

As long as the attack can break through the defense, focus on the weak point, and even if the attack power is a little weak, you can still kill it!

"The first life!"

Hercules, whose head had been blown apart, remained standing still. Then, black and red magic began to gather, and his head, which had been blown apart, was restored to its original state with the help of the magic, and he gained resistance to arrow attacks.

"Roar!!!"

Having regained his form, Hercules roared towards the sky, proclaiming his return, and then pounced directly on Fujimaru Ritsuka's true form.

Come on!

Fujimaru Ritsuka stomped her right foot on the ground, and her whole body turned into a green light and disappeared from the spot in an instant. She tore through the air and circled in the air, instantly arriving behind Hercules. She raised the spear in her hand and smashed it down at Hercules.

The download didn't cause Hercules much damage, but it did stop his charge! His massive body slammed into the ground!

Fujimaru Ritsuka's spear pierced through Hercules's calf and was pinned to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Fujimaru Ritsuka activated and disappeared from the spot, because a shooting star was already flying in from afar.

"A shooting star!!!"

Boom—

A huge cloud of explosion rose from the spot.

After the impact and the flames subsided, what remained was a huge, completely charred corpse, from which black and red magic erupted once more.

After killing Heracles with a fully charged arrow, Fujimaru Ritsuka used her Noble Phantasm, Meteor Arrow, to kill Heracles once more!

"A second life!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka muttered to herself as she rapidly switched cards in the system.

Thankfully, this system allows you to cut cards during battle; otherwise, Fujimaru Ritsuka really wouldn't know how to fight this thing.

Fujimaru Ritsuka cut off Arash's card and replaced it with a successful card. She then immediately went to the remaining clone and put her hand on his shoulder.

"You've been enhanced, go!"

At the same time, several magic stones were stuffed into the clone's arms.

"understand!"

The clone, carrying the magic stone, charged toward Hercules, who was still recovering.

Although Chen Gong's Noble Phantasm is only C-rank, as long as the target's magic power is sufficient, the power of his Noble Phantasm's super-accelerated self-destruction will increase accordingly. Therefore, as long as there are enough magic stones, the power of the self-destruction can be enough to kill Hercules!

The moment Hercules recovered, the clone pounced on him with the magic stone and then exploded!

Boom—

Hercules, who had just recovered, began the recovery process again.

"A third life!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the clone's work with satisfaction. In just one minute, the clone, in combination with the Noble Phantasms of other Servants, had taken down Heracles' three lives. Hundred-faced Hassan, I call you the strongest!

After all the costly Noble Phantasms have been used, it's time for the main body to unleash its own Noble Phantasms!

While Hercules was recovering, Fujimaru Ritsuka performed another cut.

The cards of the Great Hero and Chen Gong were all swapped out and replaced with the cards of Atalanta and Semiramis.

Although Semiramis does not have a Sky Garden, she does possess a Noble Phantasm that can poison.

【The King of Pride's Fine Wine】

It can imbue space or magic with the property of "poison" to kill enemies, and its toxicity even surpasses that of the Hydra.

Although it is not instantly fatal, it is extremely fast!

Especially for Servants with a history of being poisoned, the damage can be multiplied.

Unfortunately, there was a legend that Hercules was poisoned before his death, so Semiramis' poison was doubly potent for Hercules!

Volume 1: 118. Take this, my final Noble Phantasm!

As it turned out, the poison really worked on Hercules!

After Hercules recovered, Fujimaru Ritsuka applied a deadly poison to him. The legend of the poisoning made Hercules suffer twice as much when facing Semiramis's poison.

Under the corrosive effects of the poison, Hercules roared in pain and rage, then twisted his own neck with his own hands and committed suicide.

It perfectly matches his original story, in which he died because he could not endure the torment of the Hydra's poison.

Since there was no flame here to burn him to death, he had no choice but to kill himself.

"The Fourth Life!"

After completing her fourth kill, Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately drew her Sky Bow, nocked an arrow, and aimed it at the sky.

"With my bow and arrows I pray! O great god Apollo! Bring calamity upon my enemies!"

"Complaint document!"

The arrow shot into the sky and disappeared after rising high into the air.

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Hercules on the ground, and after he recovered, a green beam of light descended from the sky!

Fujimaru Ritsuka changed the area where the arrow rain landed from a large area to a small, concentrated area. Because of this concentration, the originally dense arrows of light gathered together and looked like they had turned into pillars of light.

In terms of power, this rain of arrows wouldn't be enough to kill Hercules, but it could certainly break through his defenses. As I said before, once the attack hits a weak point after breaking through his defenses, it would be enough to kill Hercules!

The green beam of light struck Hercules for a full ten seconds. When the beam dissipated, all that remained was half of Hercules' body, which had been shredded into pieces.

At this point, all of Fujimaru Ritsuka's bow and arrow-type Noble Phantasms—including ordinary arrows, meteor explosion arrows, and light arrow rain—had been exhausted.

"The Fifth Life!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka raised her left hand, and the Command Seals on the back of her hand lit up.

"In the name of the Command Spell, restore all my magic!"

With one Command Seal gone, Fujimaru Ritsuka's nearly depleted mana from continuously unleashing her Noble Phantasms was restored to its original state.

While Hercules was recovering, Fujimaru Ritsuka switched roles again.

Although there are still a few Servants whose Noble Phantasms can be used, Fujimaru Ritsuka does not intend to reveal those Servants here. She still needs to keep some trump cards up her sleeve, especially the most insidious trump card formed by the combination of those two Servants.

Therefore, the battle that follows will be purely head-on!

In Fujimaru Ritsuka's Servant slot, only Achilles and Lancelot remain. Similarly, a black and red Mystic Code has been equipped below his own character card.

The Black Holy Cup

The moment the Black Cup was equipped, Alice Phil, dressed in a black evening gown, appeared out of thin air behind Fujimaru Ritsuka. She slowly descended from the sky, landing behind Fujimaru Ritsuka, wrapping her arms around his neck, and whispering in his ear.

"Come on, let's kill them all!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka turned her head and looked at the blackened Alice Phil who was hugging her with a look of surprise.

I never expected the Black Cup to have such special effects! It's like giving away a corrupted version of the character!

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka turn to look at her, Alice Phil smiled slightly, then turned into specks of light and disappeared.

After witnessing Alice Phil disappear, Fujimaru Ritsuka turned her gaze back to Hercules, who almost returned to normal.

He was killed five times in a row by various Noble Phantasms, especially one of which was tortured by poison, which made his anger reach an explosive level.

After recovering, he instantly disappeared from his original spot, crossed the air, and arrived at the location where he had previously discarded the axe and sword. He then picked up the axe and sword and threw it directly at Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"I'm not going to confront you head-on right now!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka kicked off with both feet, transforming into a streak of green light and disappearing from the spot. Her axe and sword slammed into the ground, embedding themselves halfway into the earth. Hercules followed closely behind, arriving at the axe and sword, grabbing them, and chasing after the direction the green light had gone.

As Fujimaru Ritsuka ran, she raised her hand to summon the Meteor Spear.

The meteor gun turned into green light and returned to Fujimaru Ritsuka's hands. After gripping the gun with both hands again, she immediately launched a counterattack.

This time, it was Fujimaru Ritsuka's turn to take the initiative!

If Heracles is an Archer or another class, his fighting style will definitely be full of variations, but the Berserker class Heracles, due to the effects of Berserk, will only fight in a straightforward manner!

Therefore, relying on her speed far exceeding Hercules', Fujimaru Ritsuka directly confronted Hercules head-on. With her even greater speed, she easily dodged Hercules' straight attacks and then countered with her Meteor Spear to attack Hercules' body.

After slashing back with her sword, Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't hold back, immediately shifting her position to avoid Hercules's subsequent counterattack.

He was like a katana hunter slaying an ancient dragon, striking once and running away, never lingering with his sword.

Although it's gua sha, he scrapes many times and at a fast speed!

After several blows, Hercules had a lot of wounds on his body.

Unfortunately, these wounds healed quickly with the help of magic.
