I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

That wasn't Jing Ke's blood. Although half of her face was burned during the battle, she tried her best to dodge and then look for opportunities to attack.

Finally...

It took him three minutes and all his strength to kill the Sphinx in front of him!

Relatively speaking, the cost wasn't his injuries, but rather... Master lost another Command Seal.

"cough--"

Jing Ke coughed up a mouthful of blood, then swallowed the rest as he looked at the Sphinx before him.

The Sphinx, which should have been dead, regenerated at an extremely fast speed and was resurrected once again—standing up!

Then... in the next moment, the Sphinx also disappeared.

The wall that had been blocking her view also disappeared.

"Has it appeared...the road?" Jing Ke said, walking towards it.

Even now, the curse within the pyramid continues to erode her body at all times.

This won't last much longer...

Before I completely collapse, I must immediately... immediately come to that person's throne!

The pyramids also contain a vast amount of space.

This place is nearly a kilometer away from Ramses II's throne—that's the straight-line distance!

This distance wouldn't normally be a problem for a follower, but... now Jing Ke was covered in wounds, and with every step he took, he could feel intense pain emanating from his lungs.

I can't run anymore...

It's also very difficult to walk.

And... the curse continues to deepen.

By the time Jing Ke arrived before the Pharaoh, his consciousness was already fading.

"Ha ha!"

Seeing Jing Ke arrive before his throne, the Pharaoh laughed loudly: "Excellent! You have passed the king's test and successfully come before me! So, are you prepared to accept your reward? If you join my ranks, then I will spare you. What do you say?"

"How could this be—" Jing Ke walked up to the Pharaoh and said, "This time, I will absolutely not fail!"

“Is that so—” Osmandis showed no anger, or rather, he would have been angry if she had agreed now: “Then, what about the previous question? Compared to the emperors you have seen, whose brilliance is more dazzling?”

“Although I’m reluctant to admit it, that King of Qin was more dazzling,” Jing Ke said directly.

"Ha ha!" The Pharaoh laughed angrily, "You haven't seen my full glory, have you? Then let me show you my true glory!"

“Master…” Jing Ke said.

“I understand, this is the final Command Seal,” Colin Kidd said, using his last Command Seal.

Jing Ke took a deep breath and could feel the magic of the Command Seals reverberating within his body.

Of course, if someone asks which king was more powerful, she'll definitely say Qin Shi Huang! To belittle him would be tantamount to saying she's inferior, wouldn't it? It's only appropriate when referring to a very strong or powerful opponent...

It's only when you lose that you're truly unyielding!

and so--

She won't fail a second time.

This time, we must kill Osmandis!

Gripping the dagger tightly and dodging the incoming light, Jing Ke mustered his last strength to rush to Ramses II and pierced his chest with the dagger in his hand!

His spiritual core was shattered—

"Success?"

Did they finally succeed this time?

Colin Kidd on the other side was also shocked. They actually killed him?

Despite being at such a huge disadvantage, they still managed to defeat them?

“That’s right! You successfully killed me, but— um…” Ramses II looked at Jing Ke in front of him and thought for a moment before saying, “Originally, I wanted to take this opportunity to temporarily withdraw for a minute… and then resurrect after you disappeared, but forget it! That would be disrespectful to a hero like you!”

"What?! She clearly destroyed the spirit core?" Jing Ke's eyes widened. Her legend gave her the ability to assassinate the emperor. Since she hit him, there was no reason for her to still be alive.

Although she wasn't the strongest assassin... and even failed in her attempts during her lifetime, she was definitely one of the most famous assassins of the emperor.

But what exactly is going on now?

“That’s right! You did indeed do it. If it were an ordinary king, he would be dead by now, but—I am the Pharaoh, the King of Kings! The one and only God-King! As long as I live, no one can harm me in the slightest—”

At this moment, Osmandis's spirit core had been completely shattered, and other heroic spirits had returned to Valhalla!

But—as the Pharaoh laughed, his wounds seemed to reverse time, returning him to a state where he was completely unharmed—

Immortal!

As long as he remains within this temple, Osmandis's immortality is absolute.

You will absolutely not die!

There is only one way to kill him: destroy this great temple!

but--

This temple is inhabited by several mythical beasts—Sphinxes.

And they are all immortal, just like this god-king.

The temple walls can easily block enemy Noble Phantasms without sustaining any damage, and the emitted Dendera Giant Electric Ball has unparalleled power!

It's practically invincible!

The only way to defeat this invincible figure is to completely destroy this temple, otherwise... will we only destroy a part of it?

Useless!

The temple will regenerate immediately after it is destroyed.

The only solution is to destroy both the temple and Ottomandis!

Servants with such abilities are few and far between in the entire Hall of Heroes, and—if someone unaware of this were to enter this pyramid, the outcome would already be decided.

Not only would it be many times more difficult to destroy it from the inside, but the Noble Phantasm would also be sealed!

Furthermore, due to the curse within the temple, even those with an EX-rank physique like Arash will experience a drop in stats and cough up blood.

The Pharaoh, who appeared in F/P: Fragments of Azure Silver, first defeated Berserker, and then fought the Three Knights one-on-one.

Afterwards, Assassin and a certain overpowered individual killed the Pharaoh's Master, cutting off his mana supply. Caster's Philosopher's Stone then removed the curse. Arash used "Stella," and Old Saber used his Noble Phantasm, along with his shattered half-body, before finally managing to force the Pharaoh into the Holy Grail.

In this Holy Grail War, he could be described as fighting six against one.

This is what is meant by a Servant with an exceptionally high rank.

"Then let's go back, back to Valhalla, Assassin—"

The light covered Jing Ke's body.

Her assassination attempt failed once again, but... facing such an immortal god-king, even in defeat, it could be said to be a glorious defeat.

"Excellent! I thoroughly enjoyed myself! That's precisely why this world is worth ruling! It's destined to be ruled by me! Haha ...

Chapter 230 So-called Heroic Spirits

"Has the first Servant already left the stage?"

"Noel Layard, Enkidu's Master, exclaimed in surprise. It's only the second day of the Holy Grail War, and already one Servant has been eliminated."

He gritted his teeth and asked, "Lancer, how are you recovering?"

"Yes, it has already recovered." Enkidu said with a smile. Although there was no need to worry about the loss of magic power, after all, whether it was the Mage's Association, the Holy Church, or even DIO's Dead Apostle army.

They all have accumulated hundreds of years of experience. Although the purpose of this accumulation was not for the Holy Grail War, but for their original goals, this does not prevent the energy that this accumulation can unleash.

The near-unlimited supply of magic power is normal for the three parties, but Kurokawa and Miya, as a separate party, are quite lacking.

After all, Kurokawa Kazuya's magic power is limited.

Fortunately, Alucard doesn't consume that much magic power, but... even so, his chances of winning this time are very low.

Without using Alucard's Noble Phantasm, while some Servants can be worn down, many others cannot.

But... if that Noble Phantasm were used.

While the Dead River is numerous and can be a decisive weapon against a large number of Heroic Spirits, it is weak against those with massive light cannons...

It might be wiped out all at once.

Especially in this Holy Grail War, there are quite a few Heroic Spirits with such abilities.

The River of Death, its strongest trump card, has ironically become the ability it can least use.

Enkidu looked at his Master: "How is it? Is there any mission?"

"No, Lord Barthezello hasn't given any new orders yet... For now, it's best to rest. However, I have a question for you... Lancer, do you have a chance of winning?"

“Hmm? Facing Gil... Yes, he is.” Enkidu smiled. “Indeed, in terms of performance, he may be a little stronger than me now, but... I am a weapon created to limit Gil, so I still have a chance of winning.”

"No... I mean, is there any chance of victory against that Ottomandis...?"

"!" Enkidu paused for a moment, then smiled slightly: "Of course. The thing that heroes are best at is turning the impossible into the possible."

While the stats displayed on the Servant panel are important, they are not the only factor.

There are many beings in this world who claim to have the combat power of Servants.

High-ranking Dead Apostles, powerful magicians, fantasy creatures, and even the Sphinx under Osmandis's command.

However, if a real fight breaks out, the Servant usually wins!

Not for any other reason than that they are heroes.

Having endured countless hardships in their lifetime, they rose step by step, experiencing tremendous growth in spirit and will, and were finally recognized by the world and human history to become heroic spirits.

They were summoned in this way.
