As a superhuman, Hercules was able to carry the heavens on his back, so his strength is beyond question.

However, Artoria possesses the bloodline of a red dragon, and as a humanoid dragon, her power is incredibly strong.

Therefore, this battle was entirely a clash of brute force.

A deafening roar filled the air as wave after wave of air surged forth, creating continuous, visible ripples that were truly breathtaking.

Hercules swung his axe and sword faster and faster. Don't be fooled by his imposing physique and assume he's a power-type fighter. In reality, Hercules' combat skills are equally outstanding.

It even surpasses the vast majority of Heroic Spirits.

If Artoria hadn't had the help of her intuition, she might not have been able to withstand Heracles's storm-like attacks.

Because Hercules was too fast, and each of his attacks on "Seven-One-Seven" came from an equally tricky and unpredictable angle.

Its power was terrifying to the extreme; each attack could tear through the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

After the initial collision, Artoria instinctively distanced herself from Hercules.

His right hand, holding the gun, trembled slightly.

The strength of this Hercules was beyond her imagination. In the collision just now, although she barely managed to catch his attack, her right hand was numb from the shock.

Seeing this, Hercules closed the distance between himself and Artoria again.

There's a saying that goes, "When you gain the upper hand, you shouldn't let it go." Since you've taken the lead, you should naturally finish off the enemy in one fell swoop and absolutely not give them a chance to breathe.

How could Hercules not understand such a superficial truth?

Then, the second round of fighting began.

With his immense strength and superb combat skills, Hercules gained the upper hand from the very beginning of the battle.

Although they haven't broken through Artoria's defenses yet, the sweeping, powerful axe-sword attacks have indeed put immense pressure on her.

Each impact and the resulting storm would cause Artoria to take a step back.

My right hand also gradually became numb.

Seeing this, Rowe sighed. This rational Hercules was indeed not easy to deal with.

Since that's the case, don't blame yourself for giving Artoria a cheat code.

Lovi raised his hand, and a series of buff spells landed on Artoria—speed spells, enhancement spells, defense spells…

One spell after another instantly boosted Artoria's power to an unbelievable level.

Artoria immediately felt her power increase several times over, becoming as light as a swallow, as swift as the wind, and as fast as a flash of lightning.

At that moment, Hercules' speed seemed to Artoria like slow motion in a movie.

Whoosh whoosh!

Artoria flashed and circled around Hercules, her spear tip dancing up and down, creating a flurry of spear flowers that ripped several holes in Hercules' body.

Hercules grunted and distanced himself from Artoria, glancing at Lovi at the same time.

He hadn't expected that Artoria's Master would possess magic, which directly enhanced Artoria by several levels.

This is too awesome.

Seeing this, Ilya puffed out her cheeks and glared angrily at Lovi, "Cunning! Using magic to help your own Heroic Spirit, how cunning!"

Luo Wei said with a smile, "How can you call it cunning when it comes to fighting? You can also enhance Hercules."

"You don't need to tell me, I will do the same."

Ilya said angrily, while simultaneously channeling her magic to strengthen Hercules.

Lovi smiled slightly, raised his right hand, and flicked his finger, unleashing a series of curse spells upon Hercules.

Weakening, dizziness, weakness, blood loss... not only negated Ilya's enhancement, but also further weakened Hercules's strength.

Hercules looked at Lovi in ​​shock. This guy…

He is, after all, Hercules. Although he is participating in the Holy Grail War as a Heroic Spirit this time, he still possesses divinity.

Ordinary magic has no effect on me.

But Rowe's magic can work 100% of the way; this guy is no ordinary person.

Seeing that Lovi had created such a great opportunity for her, Artoria instantly charged towards Hercules.

One was strengthened by Lovi, and the other was weakened by Lovi; the effect was quite obvious.

Hercules was forced to retreat in defeat.

In the blink of an eye, Artoria swung her holy spear and ripped out several more holes.

Ilya was almost in tears when she saw this...

Lacking any sense of martial ethics, the spearmen's premonition was truly cunning and utterly devoid of any martial spirit.

“Lysellet”.

She called out to her maid, Lizzie, who understood and drew a long axe from behind her back, charging towards Rowe.

Since she couldn't compete with Lovi in ​​magic, she had no choice but to eliminate him.

Lovi chuckled. While Ilya's idea was good, it was far too presumptuous of her.

Just as Lyselite rushed over, Scáthach summoned her magic spear and swept her away.

The two were not even in the same league; Lyselite couldn't even withstand a single move from Scáthach.

"Lysellet!!!"

Ilya exclaimed in surprise and quickly ran over, crouching down to help Lyselette up.

Luo Wei calmly said, "Don't worry, I wouldn't go so far as to harm an android without intending to kill him."

"I'm fine, Ilya."

Lizzie shook her head. Although she had been knocked away, she realized that the other party had used skillful force and had not hurt her. At most, she was a little embarrassed.

"Shoot a hundred heads!"

Just then, a low shout came.

Driven to the brink of despair, Hercules finally unleashed his Noble Phantasm.

In Greek mythology, the heads of the Hydra would grow back even if they were cut off. After Hercules killed the Hydra with a bow and arrow, he was able to mimic the bow's ability with his greatsword and bring this attack method to its fullest potential.

Simply put, it fires nine dragon-shaped tracking lasers simultaneously.

Nine laser beams shot at Artoria simultaneously, without any sequence of events.

Fortunately, Artoria's intuition had already anticipated this, allowing her to dodge in advance and avoid the vast majority of the lasers.

Three unavoidable laser beams were blocked by Artoria's Holy Lance.

Hercules's attempt to kill the white-headed man was immediately in vain.

This made him realize that Artoria must have the ability to foresee the future, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to avoid his Noble Phantasm so easily.

They are truly a very troublesome enemy.

At the same time, Artoria launched a counterattack the moment Hercules returned after using his Noble Phantasm.

Shining in the final spear!!!

198. Jiandai, Ushiwakamaru

There's a saying: "It is impolite not to reciprocate."

Since Hercules had used his Noble Phantasm, Artoria was not stingy and returned the favor with her own Noble Phantasm.

Unfortunately, Hercules did not have the ability to foresee the future, and Artoria used her Noble Phantasm just after he had used his.

Very clever.

This left Hercules completely unable to dodge, and he was directly hit by Artoria's Noble Phantasm.

A dazzling light instantly pierced through Hercules' body.

"No!!!"

Upon seeing this, Ilya couldn't help but shout.

At this time, Hercules did not descend as a Berserker and did not possess a Noble Phantasm like the Twelve Trials.

Therefore, Hercules only had one life.

After being pierced by Artoria's Noble Phantasm, his Spirit Origin instantly collapsed, and his body began to turn into light fragments, disappearing into the air bit by bit.

Before disappearing completely, he glanced back at Ilya, a hint of guilt flashing in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, Ilya..."

When he was summoned by Illya, he promised her that he would help her win the Holy Grail War, but it seems he is going to break his promise this time.

This Holy Grail War is indeed full of hidden talents.

Before he finished speaking, Hercules vanished.

Upon seeing this, Ilya burst into tears, crying out, "Hercules, Hercules, come back, come back!"

Ah this...

Seeing the heartbroken Ilya, Luo Wei couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt. What he had done couldn't be considered bullying a child.

Forget it, I'm outta here.

After defeating Hercules, Lovi dispelled his domain and left with Artoria and Scáthach.

He had previously learned from Kirei Kotomine's memories that, besides himself and Kirei Kotomine, the other participants in this Holy Grail War were Illya, Rin Tohsaka, and Sakura Matou.

The remaining two people did not report to the church, so Kirei Kotomine did not know who they were.

However, Lo Wei had a guess.

Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that this will be the fifth Holy Grail War.

Of the remaining two, one of them is very likely to be Emiya Shirou.

Of course, this refers to Shirou Emiya before he became a Heroic Spirit.

So, Luo Wei and his group headed to the Emiya residence.

Sure enough, when Luo Wei and his group arrived at the Emiya residence, they heard the sounds of fighting coming from inside.

He, Artoria, and Scáthach jumped onto the wall.

In the Emiya family's courtyard, two Heroic Spirits were engaged in battle.

One of them was a girl with golden hair, wielding an invisible longsword, wearing blue armor.

This outfit isn't exactly the same as Artoria's, but it's definitely the same.

Without a doubt, this person was none other than Artoria.

It's just a swordsman.

The other is a short female military commander dressed in rather revealing clothes, clearly a native Japanese military commander.

After a few glances, Luo Wei immediately recognized the military officer's identity.

Ushiwakamaru, also known as the famous Minamoto no Yoshitsune, is a household name in Japan, almost as well-known as Oda Nobunaga.

Ushiwakamaru was just his childhood name.

Why are these two fighting?

Out of curiosity, Luo Wei did not appear immediately, but instead watched the battle from the sidelines.

Artoria's strength goes without saying. Although Saber Artoria is not as good as Lancer Artoria, she is still a skilled fighter. However, in her battle against Ushiwakamaru, she did not gain the slightest advantage.

Of course, Ushiwakamaru did not gain the upper hand either.

The two sides were evenly matched, a battle of equals, and the outcome was very close.

Shirou Emiya, standing to the side, was at a loss as to how to intervene. Fortunately, he knew that he couldn't hold back the swordsman at this moment, so he remained silent.

The battle between Sword Artoria and Ushiwakamaru gradually entered a heated phase.

The two seemed to have nothing left but each other. If Luo Wei were to launch a sneak attack at this moment, he could wipe them both out in one fell swoop.
