To become a king and a magician

"The founder of Kabbalah magic, and the master teacher who educated many heroes of Greece—please allow me to experience your skills."

53. Not everyone can withstand EA's attacks.

Atalanta, on the edge of the forest some distance from the battlefield, was observing the situation on the battlefield using the archers' excellent eyesight.

"How is it, sister?"

Beside her, Achilles, carrying a short spear, asked.

After a moment of silence, Atalanta sighed: "I really want to say it's impossible, but from what I can see, Saber and Lancer of the Black faction are currently being unilaterally suppressed by one person."

This is truly an outrageous situation.

Leaving aside the fact that Black Saber's identity is unknown, the fact that he can become Saber confirms that his abilities are definitely not bad. After all, Saber is a class that only the most capable Servants can hold, and he is by no means weak.

As for Vlad III, the Black Lancer, needless to say, being based in Romania and having gained immense fame, his strength far exceeds that of a normal Servant. On the Red side, the only ones who are expected to be able to fight him are Lancer Karna and Achilles.

Each of these two Servants is a formidable foe on their own, let alone when they team up. Even Karna and Achilles would likely struggle to gain the upper hand.

But what's the situation with that woman?

Atalanta had never seen such an outrageous being!

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!"

The center of the pit.

Around Angelica, dozens of treasure vault doors were already lined up, like dozens of powerful cannons, constantly pouring out projectiles called Noble Phantasms. Golden streams of light, like a meteor shower, ravaged the earth with visible force.

Like Atalanta, Vlad III and Siegfried were now in a state of shock.

The two could tell that every weapon shooting out from those ripples was a Noble Phantasm, and a Noble Phantasm of a high level at that!

Noble Phantasms are a Heroic Spirit's trump card; generally, each Heroic Spirit has only one, at most two or three, but this woman before me...

(They actually used their Noble Phantasm as bullets! And they managed to maintain this incredibly wasteful attack method for so long!)

He summoned countless iron stakes to block the incoming Noble Phantasm, then stepped on one of the stakes and suddenly shot into the sky. Vlad III then summoned hundreds of iron stakes directly above Angelica's head, who was standing still in place!

The stakes fell like a torrential rain, but the expected scene of Angelica being pierced did not occur. The countless stakes that fell disappeared into the air without warning, as if they had fallen into a pool of water.

And the next moment—

"Whoosh—!"

Above Vlad III and Siegfried's heads, countless stakes crashed down!

(This has happened again!)

Several minutes have passed since the start of the battle. During this time, Vlad III and Siegfried have launched countless attacks on Angelica, but strangely, their attacks have been unable to reach her no matter what they do.

It either passes right through her, or it bounces back like it has now.

"What exactly happened?!"

Vlad III roared in frustration.

While the King of Execution is undoubtedly a Noble Phantasm that can inflict immense suffering on its enemies, it still requires the stakes to hit the opponent! But so far, not a single stake has managed to touch Angelica!

All of these are invalid outputs!

Vlad III, of course, was unaware that Angelica possessed not only Gilgamesh, the strongest sword, but also Spatial Displacement, the strongest shield. Even attacks from Servants, unless they could definitively affect space or cause damage exceeding the limits of Spatial Displacement, could not harm Angelica.

The only weapon Vlad III and Siegfried possessed that could break through spatial displacement was Siegfried's Noble Phantasm.

and so.

(Kill him before he unleashes his Noble Phantasm.)

Having previously used Siegfried's class card, and with Natsukawa Torara's prior warning, Angelica was well aware of Siegfried's weaknesses. Now, every Noble Phantasm she unleashed was at least A-rank! And—

"Om-!"

A portal silently appeared behind Siegfried, and several Noble Phantasms immediately flew out from it!

Angelica used at least an A-rank Noble Phantasm to suppress him head-on, and then looked for an opportunity to use space displacement to sneak up on his weak point in the back—from the very beginning, Angelica had been using this tactic on Qigefei!

Meanwhile, in a safe zone far from the battlefield, Darnic and Gordes, the Masters of Vlad III and Siegfried, have lost their composure. The two strongest cards that Black has always relied on are now being suppressed by one person!

Especially Gold!

"Damn it! Damn it! What are you doing, Saber?! You can't even handle someone who isn't even a Servant?! Useless trash! Is this what you call a dragon-slaying hero?!"

It was a truly ugly sight—even the other Masters, who were also members of the Yggdrasil clan, expressed their disgust and aversion towards him.

It's such a waste that Saber, arguably the strongest member of our side, is being ordered around by a man who's no different from a clown.

“Gold”.

Just as Gold was cursing wildly, Danic's sudden words made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He turned his head to look at him tremblingly.

In that instant, Danic's icy gaze made Gold so frightened that he fell to the ground.

“It seems that entrusting Saber to you for summoning was a mistake,” Darnick said coldly. “But now is not the time to punish you for your disgraceful behavior—use a Command Spell to make Saber unleash her Noble Phantasm, and I will also use a Command Spell to make Lancer unleash another Noble Phantasm.”

"—!"

The Masters of the Black Faction were immediately taken aback.

Vlad III's other Noble Phantasm—if they remember correctly, it was one he had explicitly told Darnick he would never use! If Darnick dared to use a Command Spell to make him do that, the first person he would kill would be Darnick!

"There's no other way. With the King and Saber's current strength, they can't defeat that woman. Although it's against the King's orders, it's a last resort—Gold."

"I...I understand!"

Scrambling to his feet, Gold, his face contorted, raised his hand bearing the Command Seals along with Danic.

"By Command Spell, Saber, you are permitted to use your Noble Phantasm!"

"By Command Spell, Vlad Zepesh, use the Second Noble Phantasm: Bloodline!"

The two Command Seals vanished instantly, and at the same time, Vlad III and Siegfried, who were on the battlefield, were both subjected to the forced effects of the Command Seals.

The twilight-colored magic erupted from the greatsword in Siegfried's hand, and Vlad III, after a moment of stunned silence, suddenly swelled up and transformed into a terrifying monster!

"Release your Noble Phantasm—it seems it wasn't voluntary."

Angelica looked at the sudden scene unfolding before her, pondered for a moment, then her hand created another ripple, grasped the sword hilt that emerged from it, and drew out the sword that seemed to be made of three cylindrical sections.

Ea: Sword of Departure.

Unlike Gilgamesh, who only uses Ea against opponents he approves of, Angelica believes she will draw her sword whenever necessary. Although Natsukawa Tora said he only needed to hold them back and would come to her aid once he and Mordred made their move.

But how could Angelica, who had become arrogant due to the influence of her class cards, tolerate accepting help from others?

"I am enough on my own."

"Wake up, EA."

One sentence stirred up a crimson storm.

54. Kill him, Merkaba!

The crimson storm stirred up by EA was so powerful that even within the fiery domain, Natsukawa Tora, Chiron, and Avisbro could clearly see its presence.

Looking at the storm soaring into the sky, Natsukawa Torato was somewhat surprised: "She actually pulled out EA? Angelica is serious. Although her mission was to hold it back, in this case, Mordred and I shouldn't need to go over there."

As his ears caught the sound of the air being torn apart countless times, the flames surrounding Xia Chuanhu suddenly surged automatically, erecting a wall of flames around him and instantly burning away all the arrows shot by Chiron.

This scene has been repeating itself for several minutes.

Chiron is undoubtedly a master archer, and if compared to Atalanta, he would probably be a cut above her. In a time when there are very few proper archers, Chiron is a rare and highly regarded orthodox archer.

But his archery skills were useless against Natsukawa Torato.

As mentioned before, because he frequently uses summoning magic to allow fairies to possess him, Natsukawa Torama has acquired some traits similar to fairies and elves. These traits are not usually very obvious; at most, they make fairies and elves more affectionate towards him. However, in the possessed state, these traits are greatly amplified to the point that they are no different from real fairies and elves.

In other words, Natsukawa Torato can now be roughly regarded as the Star's Touch, possessing even the most basic level of management authority over the surface world—roughly equivalent to a village chief in a remote mountain village without real power.

Natsukawa Torato didn't care about such a small amount of access; if he really needed it, he could simply switch to Tsukihime mode and become an administrator.

However, this level of authority can still be useful for now. For example, he can bring the entire surrounding environment into his perception. The range is not large, just the area engulfed by his sea of ​​fire, but within this area, he can perceive everything.

As soon as Chiron makes any move, Natsukawa Torato can immediately sense it and react accordingly—let's just call it a kind of pseudo-future vision.

"boom------!"

The senses returned with feedback, this time it was Avisbro who moved, creating two enormous rock golems directly in front of him.

Flames condensed behind him into a giant sword and shot out, piercing through the core of the golem the instant it took shape!

"It's always been just a puppet, huh? Don't you have any other tricks up your sleeve? I haven't even had a chance to show you any new moves." Natsukawa Torara unusually spoke provocatively. "Is this all there is to Caster?"

"That's hard to say."

Avisbro snapped his fingers, and the fragments of the puppet that had just been pierced by the Flame Sword instantly turned into a large amount of soil, which pressed down on Natsukawa Tora in an overwhelming manner!

Is it a smokescreen?

"call----!"

Xia Chuanhu immediately erected a flame barrier to block the waves of earth from entering. But at that moment, the earth that fell on the flame barrier inexplicably transformed into transparent crystals. In the blink of an eye, a huge crystal dome covered Xia Chuanhu, leaving only a small opening at the top.

Is that what you're planning?

(Is the plan to restrict my movements, confine me to this space, and give Chiron time to snipe me from a fixed position?)

Ordinary sniping is useless; Natsukawa Torato will react the instant the arrow leaves the bowstring.

So, if we're talking about the only effective method Chiron can currently use...

Xia Chuanhu looked up at the sky.

"Noble Phantasm, Scorpion Shot?"

The Scorpius Shot—the embodiment of Chiron's transformation into Sagittarius and his relentless aim at Scorpio. It is said to be a single strike powerful enough to pierce through stars and reach the highest peaks of archers.

There's no need to chant the true name or make any preparations, because Sagittarius is always aiming at Scorpio. Once the target is decided, the bowstring is released and the shot is fired.

And now, a star has begun to shine in the night sky above Xia Chuanhu's head.

(Is it here yet? Scorpio's shot!)

Aren't you going to avoid it?
