Moe Girl Guardians

In the previous battle, in order to protect Waver's safety in the present timeline, Mash was not taken along; instead, the two of them were left behind in the rear.

Now they are the only fighting force we can rely on.

………………

On the other side, above the Sky Garden.

Empress Semiramis was kneeling on one knee, emitting seductive breaths. Her black dress was torn in many places. Even a weaker Heroic Spirit might not be able to resist seeing this.

Not far away was Amakusa Tokisada Shiro, whose condition was not much better than the Empress's.

The priest's robes were badly torn, and there was even a noticeable bloodstain on his abdomen.

"Hercules, the legendary hero, is indeed not so easy to deal with."

After a long while, Semiramis seemed to have finally recovered. She stood up and said helplessly, her already tattered clothes loosening, exposing her fair skin and soft flesh to the air, making her even more alluring.

In the Sky Garden, all her attributes will be significantly enhanced, her fame will reach its peak, and her overall strength will be several times greater than in her normal state. She will also have the assistance of various powerful treasures such as the 'Black Coffin of Ten and Eleven'.

Even so, they were almost wiped out by Hercules, who had lost his master and gone berserk...

赫拉克勒斯

The great hero, renowned throughout Greece, was indeed extraordinary.

But in the end, we won.

As he recovered from his injuries, Amakusa chuckled and said, "Defeating Hercules will bring us one step closer to our goal!"

"Rider Edward Teach, Berserker Asterius, Lancer Finn, Lancer Cú Chulainn, Berserker Hercules, Assassin Kiritsugu Emiya, Archer Shirou Emiya"

"The basic requirement of seven people has been met."

"All that's left is to remove that restraint, and then we can move on to the final step!"

Looking at the pure magic in the sky, Amakusa couldn't help but smile and said, "The foundation for the seven Heroic Spirits has been achieved. All that's left is to release the Sage Ritsuki and the Elf King Merlin from their restraints and begin the final summoning!"

His long-awaited wish...

It can finally be done!

"What a pity."

Empress Semiramis shook her head. She had originally hoped to win or kill a few of them, but unexpectedly... Danic was more of a hindrance than a help, taking away the top combatant.

Given the imbalance of power, total annihilation is a normal outcome.

"Hmm? Other heroic spirits have returned as well?"

Just as Amakusa was looking forward to it, the spirit energy test panel reacted again, making Amakusa say with delight that his basic goal was to gather seven people, but having a few more would be even better, as the effect would definitely be improved.

It seems that two unknown Heroic Spirits have returned!

Nine heroic spirits is already more than expected.

(After some consideration, I've decided to post the rest of my drafts. Just to reiterate, there might be some plot holes recently, since I haven't written in a long time and this is quite a lot of text...)

Chapter 1372

"What's the situation down below?"

Having determined the number of surviving Heroic Spirits, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada regained his composure and said, "Although victory is within our grasp, it's not absolute. There are at least five Heroic Spirits below us, and if they intervene at a crucial moment, who knows what unexpected things might happen."

Other hidden Heroic Spirits that have not yet appeared should also be noted; the two Heroic Spirits who suddenly died in battle earlier are proof of this.

"They're gathering together; it seems they're preparing some kind of plan."

Glancing at the situation below, Semiramis calmly said that the reconnaissance system on the ground had been destroyed in the previous battle, and she could only get a general idea now, not detailed information.

One thing is certain: the remaining heroic spirits are gathering, and the magical reactions are somewhat abnormal.

They are probably plotting something.

"Continue to increase the altitude, preparing to forcibly lift the restrictions left behind by the sage."

After a moment's thought, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada calmly said, "Things are different now. The restraint barrier has been removed, and the power of all Heroic Spirits' Noble Phantasms has increased significantly. If magic-releasing Noble Phantasms posed a limited threat to the Hanging Gardens before, they could be fatal now."

Options available...

Increase your altitude and get closer to the Greater Grail!

On one hand, they forcibly released the sages from their confinement; on the other hand, they distanced themselves from the ground, cutting off their last hope!

"Um"

"!!!" x2

Semiramis nodded. Although simple, it was indeed the most suitable tactic for the current situation. They had obtained everything they needed, and all that remained was to complete the final step and connect to the Greater Grail!

But just as the Hanging Gardens were rising and flying toward the Greater Grail in the sky, their expressions suddenly changed!

"Has it finally arrived?"

Below the Greater Grail, two female figures had appeared out of nowhere, calmly speaking as they watched the approaching Hanging Gardens.

"Meilin...Rinzuki, how is this possible?!"

Seeing the figures appear below, Semiramis immediately became serious. There could only be three people nearby who could levitate in the air and exert such power!

The Great Sage's Gentle Breeze

Sage Rinne

Elf Queen Merlin

The rebellious sage Youfeng had already been taken to the underworld by Cú Chulainn, and even if there was no danger, it wouldn't be easy for him to return. Only Ritsuki and Merlin remained.

But it shouldn't be like this!!

In the previous battle, she clearly used a time difference tactic, allowing the 'Black Coffins of Ten and Eleven' to unleash their full power through the disappearing restraint barrier, severely injuring and knocking the two down!

But what appeared before them were two people completely unharmed!

It's important to understand that the 'Black Coffin of Ten and Eleven' is not an ordinary Noble Phantasm. It releases super-powerful magical bullets, each strike possessing the force of a falling meteor. Even Heroic Spirits could withstand all the attacks, let alone remain unscathed.

How could the two of them possibly...?

Even if they managed to withstand it, how did they get above them?!

Although she was fighting, the Sky Garden's mechanics were not disabled, so she couldn't possibly not know if someone passed by nearby.

"Your father's greatness is beyond your imagination."

Understanding Semiramis's confusion, Ritsuki calmly said, a white strip of cloth appearing in her hand. She had indeed been caught off guard by the disappearance of the restraint barrier. If she had faced it head-on, although she wouldn't have been seriously injured, it would have caused her considerable trouble.

In the critical moment, she chose another way.

'White cloth strips of unknown purpose'

The gift her father once gave her was chosen as a medium to summon him, a sacred relic.

Although it looks strange, it has an extraordinary effect. As long as you hold it, you can open a gap in a certain range and achieve the effect of teleportation!

This is also why she and Merlin were able to avoid the 'Ten and Eleven Black Coffins' unharmed and reach the front!

"A great sage, huh..."

Although she didn't understand what Ritsuki meant, Semiramis nodded in understanding. If it was a contingency plan left behind by that person, it wasn't impossible.

Let's continue the battle we fought last time.

Then, Semiramis looked at Ritsuki and the other two and said seriously.

It doesn't matter what the reason was, or whose help allowed the two to escape. What needs to be done now is to eliminate the enemy blocking their way once again!

No one can stop them from winning!

Magic is erupting, and within the Hanging Gardens, Semiramis's power will be enhanced to its strongest state!

Below, eleven jet-black stone slabs, each over twenty meters long, shone with light. The 'Ten and Eleven Black Coffins' were ready to unleash their strongest power at any moment. She wanted to see if she could dodge them this time.

"Your opponent is not me."

Feeling the magical power erupting below, Ritsuki shook her head and said calmly.

If it had been any earlier, she and Merlin would have had to intervene, but now... Semiramis's enemy is not her.

"?"

"Are Sister Jill and the others really still around?"

With her gaze sweeping across the vast land, Rin Yue calmly said, "Half an hour ago, only they were able to stop the Hanging Gardens, but now it's completely different!"

"!!!"

Hearing Ritsu's words, Semiramis, who subconsciously checked the situation below, suddenly changed her expression. She didn't know when, but the magic power that had gathered together earlier had disappeared from the earth.

Near the Hanging Gardens, a familiar magic is rapidly approaching.

"Flying is not the exclusive domain of hanging gardens."

Facing the Greater Grail, Ritsuki said naturally that since Gilgamesh and the others had arrived, she didn't need to do anything anymore and could just focus on completing the mission.

They should be finished over there by now.

The moment Rin's voice fell, the rapidly moving magic finally appeared in Semiramis and Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's field of vision.

A special spaceship

If I had to describe it... a luxurious spaceship made of gold and gemstones, entirely gold, decorated with numerous emeralds forming prism-like patterns, just looking at it gives you a sense of wealth!

Vimana

In ancient Indian mythology, a flying machine that roams the sky, a radiant vessel made of gold and emeralds that can soar through the heavens, powered by solar energy generated from mercury-fueled solar crystals, capable of high-speed flight that defies the laws of physics.

Although it is a product of ancient times, modern fighter jets are like toys in front of it.

Meanwhile, on the Radiant Ship, Gilgamesh, Enkidu, Artoria, and Jeanne d'Arc, four figures gathered together, watching the two on the Hanging Gardens.

"...A miscalculation."

The silent Semiramis suddenly realized that she had underestimated these heroes, especially the legendary King of Heroes, Gilgamesh.
