Moe Girl Guardians

"Little Mo, Jill"

Leah, back on the earth, looked at the number of people around her and muttered to herself with a frown. In the instant she fell, she noticed three figures who had suddenly attacked, and she hadn't expected them to take Little Mor and Jill away.

However, with their combined strength, they should be able to handle the situation, or at the very least, protect themselves.

Although she didn't get along with Jill, she was confident in her strength and knew that she might not be able to win against her, or rather, the probability of defeat was higher.

"Shi, Jeanne, please go and search for Assassination's whereabouts."

With Youfeng gone, Lia undoubtedly took on the role of leader, looking at Jeanne and speaking calmly.

Three figures suddenly attacked

Two of them deployed their own enchanted barriers to pull Gilles and Mordred away, while the last one... did not get close, but directly used a long-range Noble Phantasm to hit Shuten-dōji.

The Noble Phantasm was incredibly powerful; Lia could only vaguely make out the shape of the attack—a large bow and arrow.

In the blink of an eye, Shuten-dōji had been shot out of sight.

The situation over there was what worried her the most. It was clear that the opponent's attack had not reached its strongest state, but its power was still considerable. Under such a surprise attack, anything could happen.

"Hmm" x2

The two nodded at the same time. Without Lia saying anything, Shiki also planned to go find Shuten-dōji. The connection between the Command Seals confirmed that Shuten-dōji was not in mortal danger, but his condition... he had also suffered some injuries.

Jeanne had no objections. As an adjudicator, she couldn't easily join the battle without a reason, and could only do what she could.

Although Shiki possesses special abilities, facing Heroic Spirits is still too dangerous, so having her go along is a form of insurance.

"Rin-tsuki, Merlin-nee, I hope you can go and support Yu-feng."

"Given the current situation, none of us can go there."

Looking up at the sky, a gentle breeze had already settled on the Hanging Gardens.

She was well aware of her queen's strength, but she also felt a little uneasy. The other side clearly knew their intelligence and had a clear plan. Perhaps they had a way to target Youfeng.

Just to be on the safe side, it would be better to send Merlin and Ritsuki.

These two, who are Asters but possess the power of Heroic Spirits, may be outside their plans?

"Lia, take care of yourself."

Looking behind Lia, after a moment's consideration, Merlin and Ritsu nodded and said, "It has to be said that the development of the Holy Grail this time has exceeded expectations, at least the current enemy is."

"..."

Lia nodded gently and watched the two leave.

"Now it's just the two of us left, Assassination."

Then, Lia spoke softly.

Not far behind her, a man dressed in armor with short white hair appeared, staring at her with cold eyes.

"Emiya Kiritsugu... a being who became a Guardian while being human."

With the image of the Heroic Spirit reflected in her eyes, Lia said earnestly that she had sensed something was amiss from the very beginning, but she couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was. She finally understood when Archer attacked.

They were attacked not by three people, but by four!

The last one...Emiya Kiritsugu.

The Einzbern family's heroic spirit, who had once signed an alliance pact with them but later broke it, possesses an extremely high level of aura concealment; only he can make one sense something amiss without fully discovering it.

"Ordered...to intercept and kill."

"!!"

Lia's pupils changed instantly. The moment the other person finished speaking, she vanished. Invisibility? Or something else?

Before he could finish thinking, a short blade appeared in front of his chest, easily slicing through the sturdy magic armor as if it were made of paper, attacking deeper into the armor.

"Wind King Barrier!!"

The gleaming, invisible sword, with a large amount of gale gathering around it, caused the short blade to deviate for a moment, creating an opportunity for Lia.

Condensed wind

It felt like a hammer blow was about to strike, but just moments before, Kiritsugu Emiya and Ria had already created some distance between them.

"..."

Sweating profusely, Lia had only delivered one blow, but it felt like an epic battle that had lasted for hours.

What was that attack just now?

She possesses top-tier intuition, giving her the ability to anticipate her opponent's attacks during battle.

But... no one noticed.

Until the dagger appeared, she felt no danger whatsoever, until the very last moment... when she felt the death that could come at any moment.

Is the speed too fast, leaving no room for intuition to react?

Or does it mean you have the ability to block out her intuition?

Regardless of the reason, it means that her strongest 'experience' has been blocked, and she may easily fall into a real predicament.

The other party was indeed fully aware of their abilities.

……

Also in the suburbs, on another piece of land, two people of vastly different heights were constantly colliding, each contact causing a strong shockwave that swept through the surrounding environment.

The land within the fighting zone was almost entirely devoid of intact areas.

A green-haired girl and a tall, black-haired man

Clay-like longswords and large stone swords

"...berserker...not archer"

Barely maintaining a distance, Enkidu was also assessing her opponent's identity. His formidable strength was only slightly inferior to Asterius's. She had to adjust her strength to its maximum to face him head-on.

berserker?

If she hadn't known that Asterius, Madness, and Ibaraki-Douji occupied the Berserker class, she would have assumed that the other party was in that class.

So what's left...

Enkidu's gaze was fixed on the large black bow behind the other party, confirming his identity.

Currently, only Jill and Red A are the Archer positions, and there is one vacancy left, which will most likely be filled by the other side!

Being able to serve as an Archer, possessing superhuman strength that is among the best of the Heroic Spirits, plus skin that looks like plate armor.

Hercules?

Looking at the black-haired figure, Enkidu spoke in a low voice.

If that's the case, she's likely encountered her most troublesome enemy yet.

Hercules, the Greek hero

Her superhuman strength and ability to shoot down a hundred enemies are nothing compared to the twelve trials. Each death grants her a specific defensive advantage, and she doesn't possess a Noble Phantasm that allows her to die twelve times.

'Son of man, hold fast to the gods!' While it has sufficient power, it is impossible to use it twelve times.

"If Jill were here, that would be wonderful."

Enkidu sighed. Against Gilgamesh, this kind of enemy would be easy prey, as all his abilities would be countered, making him a very simple opponent. But against her... it's the other way around.

Although it's not a complete loss, it won't be a matter of time before a winner is decided.

"You guys are really well prepared."

Glancing at the Hanging Gardens in the sky out of the corner of her eye, Enkidu sighed softly, saying that it seemed she was about to enter a protracted battle.

(I was a little late for a day, and I have to report in a few days. I'm so upset... Didn't we agree on the 20th? lol)

Chapter 1357 Wang Jiang's Trump Card

"Archer Gilgamesh, Rider Enkidu, Assassin Shuten-dōji, Saber Artoria, Saber Mordred, Great Sage Yuuki" Above the Hanging Gardens, Amakusa calmly observed the situation below; everything was within his expectations.

Saber, the Knight King Artoria, possesses an intuition that allows her to almost foresee the future. Few can rival her in close combat, except for Kiritsugu Emiya!

The Holy Grail's favor grants him extraordinary luck, even allowing him to evade his intuition.

Without the aid of intuition, and with the previous use of his Noble Phantasm, the King of Knights is no longer an insurmountable opponent.

Assassion Shuten-dōji is not an ordinary Heroic Spirit, but a legendary great demon. He could not possibly appear in a normal Holy Grail War, and was only successfully summoned because of a special Holy Grail.

Unfortunately, she was too careless and caught off guard by the attack of a hundred heads, making the battle doomed to failure.

Saber Mordred, the knight who inherited the title of King of Knights, is undoubtedly powerful.

But her opponent was no ordinary Heroic Spirit either. The tyrant of ancient Rome was not an easy opponent to defeat, and... Amakusa sensed something unusual about Nero, which definitely contained a trump card that he was unaware of.

Aside from the Great Sage Youfeng, the most difficult opponents are Gilgamesh and Enkidu, the oldest of the two kings.

Shirou Emiya and Hercules...

Hercules' side has a better chance of winning. The legendary Hercules, combined with the twelve trials, is a force to be reckoned with, even against the oldest kings.

And Shirou Emiya...

He has already used the barrier as a source of magic power, providing enough magic power. Whether he can win or not depends on himself.

"Where is the Great Sage?"

“Compared to other Heroic Spirits, she is the most difficult enemy to deal with,” the blue-haired youth said with a frown from below the throne in the Hanging Gardens.

He is Darnic Preston Yggdrasil, the commander of the Yggdrasil race, and also Hercules' Master. He has been preparing for this Holy Grail War for far too long and absolutely cannot allow himself to fail.

The Great Sage...

An unexpected presence; if we don't deal with it, no one can achieve final victory.

"Great Sage Youfeng, I have already prepared the most suitable opponent for him, there is no need to worry."

"The rest is up to you."

"The Sage of the Moonlit Night and the Elf Queen Merlin, both possessing magician-level strength, are still beyond the Crown level even with the barrier suppressing them. Ignoring them would lead to too many unexpected events."

Defeat Ghostwind?
