That protagonist is trash; I could do better!

"madness!"

Splash splash splash~

Dozens of magical chains swarmed out, binding Hall's entire body. His trembling fists were less than ten centimeters from Semiramis, yet he could not advance even an inch further.

"You fight like a wild beast, relying on instinct. Are you really Caster?"

"How about trying to manipulate the chains with your eyes again?" Semiramis sneered, stretching out her hand. Dozens of magic circles were aimed at Hall, magic power condensed, and in the next second, dozens of magic beams could blast Hall into dust.

This time, Semiramis's magic array was designed to counteract the corruption of Hall's magic eye.

Hall laughed too, a cold and cruel laugh: "Is this a common ailment among magicians of the Age of Gods?"

When fighting Semiramis, Hall's greatest asset was never the Mystic Eye.

Another ancient magician, Medea, once made a similar mistake.

He was approached by a modern magician.

Before Hall, a thick, exquisite book appeared and unfolded, its pages fluttering, freeing Hall from the magical chains that bound his body.

"Casseur de Logistille!" (Declaration of Breakthrough)

The Noble Phantasm was unleashed, unleashing dozens of magical beams that bombarded the protective barrier that had unfolded from the pages, yet they were unable to cause any damage.

"This is!"

Semiramis, realizing something was wrong, stood up in shock, her eyes wide, but it was too late. She watched helplessly as Hall's fist pierced her heart, through her chest, and blood stained the throne.

Luna Break Manual (The Ultimate Magic Guide)

Grade: C+

Type: Self-targeting Noble Phantasm

distance:-

Maximum catch: 1 people

The grimoire bestowed upon Astolfo by the witch Rogerstil contains the means to break all magic. It is a permanent Noble Phantasm, and wielding it grants A-rank Magic Resistance.

Hall borrowed this Noble Phantasm from Astolfo during the day and used his own Noble Phantasm to make a copy.

It's no exaggeration to say that even a clone of Hassan the Hundred Faces wielding this Noble Phantasm could defeat the God-Slayer Magician.

From the very beginning, Hall saw through Semiramis's true nature. Every move she made was seductive. As long as you got close to Semiramis, you didn't care if you fell into a trap, since all magic could be neutralized by Noble Phantasms.

Finally, he was swiftly and decisively killed.

The main hall was filled with deadly poison created by magic, and Semiramis was also plotting against Hall. If Hall hadn't possessed Astolfo's Noble Phantasm, the outcome would have been quite uncertain.

Chapter 226 A family should be complete

At the top of the throne, blood flowed down the steps.

"Waaah~"

Assyrian Empress Semiramis coughed up a mouthful of blood. Her heart, which served as her spiritual core, was shattered by Hall's punch, and even the magician of the Age of Gods was powerless to save her.

She raised her trembling right hand and grabbed Hall's clothes, whispering absentmindedly, "Impossible..."

Her proud divine magic was thus easily neutralized.

It is incomprehensible what exactly happened or what methods Hall used.

She's dead. What will happen to her master, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada?

You can't die yet!

The Assyrian queen trembled as she drew the runes, but the magic circle was destroyed before it could even appear.

Hall's Mystic Eyes, which are always activated on the condition of seeing, seals off space and eliminates the possibility of Semiramis escaping using magic. He said calmly, "Martial arts are one of the areas that modern magicians excel at. You'd better remember this lesson next time you are summoned."

"Tch." Semiramis abruptly looked up, her beautiful face, stained with blood, now bearing an eerie quality. Her stunning beauty was marred by intense rage and resentment. She hissed hysterically, "Damn it... damn it... you despicable bastard! I can't lose to someone like you! I curse you! My poison will flow into your soul! And continue through all your descendants! You will soon die in agony, and your offspring will never live past twenty!"

curse.

The curse of the magician from the Age of Gods is no joke; countless heroes and kings in history have died from the curse of witches.

However, Hall himself was a magician no less skilled than Semiramis, and with the Mystic Eyes continuously activated, Semiramis, whose soul core was shattered, was unable to use magic at all.

It's nothing but impotent rage.

"How pathetic. If you've lost, just leave quietly and don't make a futile struggle." Hall waved his hand, throwing Semiramis's body away and manipulating fire elements to form a high-temperature fireball to burn her away.

Splash~ Splash splash splash~

Thousands of tons of water poured down from the dome, flooding the main hall. The vain sky garden lost its owner, and the concept it had been given was fading away, returning to normalcy.

The doors were forced open by the water pressure, and the building structure, no longer secured by magic, could not withstand the impact of the water flow and collapsed and shattered.

In the raging torrent, Hall moved calmly forward, the water elemental familiar creating a defensive barrier that parted the water and prevented a single drop of water from entering.

Behind the main hall lies the vanity of the Hanging Gardens, the true meaning of this aerial fortress.

That was a magical temple created by Semiramis based on the ideas of Amakusa Shiro Tokisada to connect with the Greater Grail system.

If Amakusa Shiro Tokisada successfully seizes the Greater Grail and executes his plan, the Greater Grail will become one with this vain Hanging Gardens, touring the world and absorbing the magical power of the world's spiritual veins.

If nothing unexpected happens, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada should be there.

······

The vast space is filled with countless stone pillars connected to the dome, extending into the far reaches of darkness. It is impossible to determine how vast this space is. The ground is carved with dense straight lines, all of which resemble magical circuits, the true lifeblood of this vain hanging garden.

Unfortunately, they will never be able to fulfill the purpose they were created for.

The white-haired priest, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, dressed in a Japanese-style long robe with waist ornaments, gazed at the dome, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Semiramis, even you have lost."

wow~

The water surged forth, flooding the ground and flowing over Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's heels.

The water behind him suddenly changed, rising up and coalescing into a human shape, which then completely receded to reveal Hall's body.

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada turned around, calmly facing Hall, his dark pupils concealing a deep darkness, and asked in a loud voice: "Caster of the Black Faction, can you tell me why you came here, and what kind of wish you have for the Holy Grail?"

"I came here to kill you, naturally. I don't need a reason, and I don't have any particular wish, at least not compared to your wish."

"I just can't understand it, especially someone like you."

“Even without me, someone else would be standing here.”

"who."

Hall shrugged: "I don't know. Maybe it's another android, maybe it's an organization that maintains human order, maybe it's a partner of justice, or maybe it's a kind-hearted citizen passing by."

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's expression hardened, and he rarely showed anger. He loudly questioned, "Stop spouting nonsense. I just want to know why we failed, why we couldn't save humanity. Was all the path I've taken, all the perseverance I've shown for sixty years, wrong? If we are two opposing sides, you should be able to answer my questions, Caster of the Black Faction!"

Hall chuckled and said jokingly, "Of course I can, but I don't want to say."

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada took a deep breath: "Semiramis is dead, my wish is destined to be unfulfilled, and there will be no more sixty years. My ideals, my obsessions, now all that remains is my resentment towards you."

He stared at his right hand, lost in thought: "But even revenge is a pointless act; a temporary victory will only lead to deeper despair."

"I love humanity deeply! I know how ugly, lowly, and cruel humanity is, but I also know how great and strong humanity is. What I want to do is to save humanity, to liberate humanity from original sin, and to cast off the shackles called the flesh!"

The white-haired priest roared, releasing all the emotions he had accumulated over sixty years.

He abandoned everything, including his own humanity, for the sake of saving mankind. Now everything has been overturned, along with the person named Amakusa Shiro Tokisada.

"When humanity becomes eternal, it will no longer be bound by the instinct for survival, and will naturally abandon ugly desires. Humanity will become a thinking spiritual entity."

"This is undoubtedly a realm that humanity will one day reach; my only wish is to accelerate it and reduce countless years of sacrificed evolution."

"This is the justice I firmly believe in, my long-cherished wish."

"However···"

"Is this God's punishment for me? He gave me hope, only to plunge me into deeper despair!"

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada closed his eyes, all his emotions receding like the tide, leaving only a deep emptiness and weariness in his words.

Hall was also affected by the emotions he expressed, and sighed inwardly, "Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, it's not you who's wrong, it's the world."

"Caster of the Black side, I'll ask you one more time, do you intend to answer the question?"

Hall coldly replied, "Turning your sixty years of obsession into hatred for me, and doing everything in your power to defeat me, then I can tell you the answer. Killing you is much simpler than shaking your beliefs, and besides, this game should have a more interesting ending."

Speaking of which, the Kotomine family—Kotomine Risei and Kotomine Kirei from another world were both sent to meet God by Hall, and with Amakusa Shiro Tokisada being adopted, the whole family is finally together.

Chapter 227 Obsession

The flowing water forms a circle, and the Demon Eye is forged through seeing. Two alloy slender swords are crossed and stood upright in front of Hall, as he ponders.

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's class is Ruler. Because his body has solidified this class attribute, he retains A-level Magic Resistance, which means that ordinary magic cannot cause him harm. However, casting great magic requires strict conditions and a large amount of magic power.

Therefore, melee combat is still easier to solve.

However, due to the loss of the Black Faction's stronghold, Hall's attributes dropped by one level, and even with magic to enhance his body, he was still inferior to Amakusa Shiro Tokisada.

Hall's magical eyes narrowed slightly as he manipulated the subtle flow of magical energy within his body to ensure the proper functioning of the Heart Magic Trap.

“Danic deliberately showed no reaction when fighting the Assyrian Empress, hiding his true intentions very well. But Danic, who knew he was fighting Amakusa, would never let go of this great opportunity.”

One of the reasons for the battle with Amakusa Shiro Tokisada was to lure out Li Shuwen.

Hall drew his rapier, the blades clashing and striking each other like scissors aimed at Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's head. The light patterns on his arm spread to the rapier, reinforcing its structure.

"Structural completion".

"Material reinforcement".

"fixed."

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada also drew his sword from his waist. As the sword pointed, his eyes changed drastically, and a surge of murderous intent appeared. He said in a cold voice, "Don't underestimate my sixty-year obsession, Black-haired Caster."

Hall retracted his posture, like a hunting beast hiding its fangs, and sneered: "A mere sixty years, even a five-hundred-year obsession, I have cut it off."

Their eyes met, and they both sensed an unreserved killing intent in each other's eyes.

The atmosphere was briefly quiet. The water beneath their feet rippled under the force of violent magic, and the moment they touched each other was the signal to start a battle.

boom!
