With unwavering eyes and an indomitable will, she was clearly just a test-tube baby, yet her nobility and steadfastness stemmed from the nobility of her soul, a purity that even the pure blood of the true ancestor could not taint.
“Three against one, very good. It’s truly remarkable that you’ve made it this far; I have the utmost respect for your efforts. In that case, I have no reason to hold back, gentlemen; I will give it my all from the very beginning.”
With a dark, wicked smile, Artoria finally unleashed the power of a top-tier Servant possessing the might of the Holy Grail!
This is no ordinary Servant; it is a top-tier Servant capable of infinite mana output.
The Black Knight raised the corrupted Dark Sword, and even stained with its filthy black color, the sword remained true to its nature.
Black and red magic surged forth, and in an instant, a violent pillar burst through the earth, tearing open a void. Its purpose seemed to be to detonate the gas pipelines throughout the city!
"Could it be—?! This guy!"
Cú Chulainn broke out in a cold sweat. Even he dared not face that terrifying super Noble Phantasm that was powerful enough to destroy a city, let alone with the blessing of the Holy Grail.
Start with your Noble Phantasm as a sign of respect!
"The King's Hammer, Reversing the Dawn."
"Devouring Light!"
“ExcaliburMorgan”.
The indifferent voice echoed in the emptiness.
As the sound faded, an indescribable mystery seemed to tear the entire space apart, and the earth roared incessantly, with crimson and dark light surging wildly like a tide.
Who starts by using their Noble Phantasm to wash their face right away?!
Cú Chulainn was furious and wanted to curse. How was he supposed to fight like this? He had originally planned to use the Flame Cage Giant to launch a surprise attack while the swordsman was attacking...
The pitch-black sword light devoured everything, and the world before us was tinged with a black and red glow. Then the terrifying pillar of light continued to spread, tearing a huge crater from the underground to the surface of the entire city!
“————!”
One figure did not back down at all.
Holding a jet-black shield, Mash stood like a sturdy and reliable fortress, protecting everyone!
"Very well, let me test whether you are worthy of this shield."
The black-clad knight curled her lips slightly; no one knew the power of the Infinite Demon Sword better than her.
The entire city would be instantly shattered by her unreasonable attacks; the Holy Sword is such an unreasonable light-cannon treasure!
"Hmm, now's the time, senior! Let's give her a good beating!"
Mashu gritted her teeth and spoke to Fujimaru Ritsuka, looking at her with unwavering trust and resisting the Noble Phantasm with unwavering confidence.
However, Fujimaru Ritsuka did not react in time; she did not take advantage of this moment to attack the black-clad swordsman.
"senior...?!"
Just then, Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression changed again—
Chapter 14 The Breath of the Stars!
"senior……?"
Mashu saw with her own eyes that the blonde girl raised her arm.
"This incredible feeling... it's like the light of that holy sword, it's so familiar..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed somewhat surprised.
This was certainly not something that Fujimaru Ritsuka herself felt familiar with, because she was possessed by the Star Breath and, in some ways, was an existence of the same origin as the Star Holy Sword.
In other words, the princess, the Star Sword, and even the future Artoria Caster share a sisterly bond.
"A vampire? No, an elf who has gained a physical body, no, a half-elf?"
A human in spirit form, a half-dead apostle-turned-sub-servant, and a half-elf emanating star breath.
Interesting. Has Cú Chulainn finally had a stroke of good luck?
It's quite a rare thing that Cú Chulainn, who has always had bad luck, has suddenly struck it lucky and gained teammates.
"Don't underestimate me, Saber. This time, fate is on my side, isn't it?"
With a defiant wink, Cú Chulainn swung his staff with a flourish, then planted it firmly on the ground and began to unleash his Noble Phantasm!
"I don't know what you're planning, little girl. Even with my magic, it's difficult for that guy to do much damage—so I'm going to use my Noble Phantasm to stall for time. I'll have to leave the rest to you!"
Cú Chulainn chooses to unleash his Noble Phantasm directly!
His judgment was correct, decisive, and without hesitation. As the Sage of the Forest, he probably knew what kind of being Fujimaru Ritsuka really was!
Faced with King Arthur unleashing the corrupted holy sword with all her might, the only one who could resist her was the elf, who was also a being of the breath of stars.
"Yeah, I understand."
A dark red light gathered in Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand, sensing the light of the Fallen Holy Sword, which was almost identical to the radiance flowing within her body.
I feel—I can do something!
That will be a radiance equal to that of the Holy Sword.
“Interesting. Facing my holy sword, you not only didn't run away but instead met the challenge head-on. I admire your courage. But the outcome of a battle cannot be determined by courage alone.”
The difference in power is obvious. Fujimaru Ritsuka isn't a complete Spirit, so dealing with Shadow Servants is no problem for her, but truly top-tier or even exceptionally powerful Servants—
"Who cares about all that, even if it's King Arthur..."
"I'll kill you too!"
The breath of the stars is the breath of the planets.
As long as she firmly believes in her courage, calmly senses the magical fluctuations that resemble the breathing of a planet, and can mobilize the great source power from within the planet... no matter what kind of enemy she faces, Fujimaru Ritsuka will not lose.
Although Mashu's shield was one that the Tyrant Knight King recognized, the Knight King did not hold back at all because the lineup was relatively strong this time.
Fujimaru Ritsuka attempted to use her Mystic Eyes on the other party.
Although the Rainbow Eyes are of a very high level, even higher than Medusa's Petrifying Eyes, they can even do things like altering a person's will!
However, for Artoria, who possesses high magic resistance and intuition, its effectiveness will be greatly reduced; at the very least, it cannot prevent her from unleashing her Noble Phantasm.
Even if she did use her Mystic Eyes to break the incomparably domineering Holy Sword, that attack would only be a relatively powerful ordinary rooster to King Arthur, who wields the Holy Grail. She could easily unleash another powerful Noble Phantasm with a casual swing of her Mystic Eyes.
Fujimaru Ritsuka has no means of ranged attacks; the only thing she possesses is the immense power that allows her to penetrate Hercules—her physical strength and the abnormal regenerative ability bestowed upon her by the True Ancestor.
mechanism?
Sorry, I really don't have any!
It's about reducing health and locking mana; the only technique I know is reading Earth's information, and even then, I can only read a little bit.
The only chance of winning is to suppress the opponent with the same light cannon, that is, the Star Breath.
"Mash, protect the director," Fujimaru Ritsuka said.
"Senior, are you going to confront that directly...?"
The pink-clad girl was slightly taken aback. In the time it took her to stand upright and protect everyone, Fujimaru Ritsuka was already prepared!
“Fujimaru Ritsuka…you!” Olga Marie froze.
"Director, I'm the only Master left in Chaldea. If I don't step up, who else will? Right?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka turned around and smiled gently in the blazing light.
"I will protect Chaldea and the history of humanity, so you can rest assured and watch over me, Director."
Olga Marie looked at the blonde girl with mixed feelings, but her gaze quickly hardened.
All those words can be summed up in one sentence: it is no longer a pessimistic complaint, but a testament to trust in Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"Don't lose, Fujimaru Ritsuka."
"Well, leave it to me."
After nodding to Director Olga Marie, Fujimaru Ritsuka stepped forward and faced the surging pillar of light directly from the magical defense of Mashu's shield.
She looked directly at the black king through the light.
The other party simply smiled coldly and began to mock:
"What, you think you can defeat me, little half-elf? The last half-elf who angered me, the [Half-Dream Demon], is still locked in his cage and can't get out. You don't actually think you can defeat me, do you?"
Dark Arthur's tone was filled with the pride of a tyrant.
Fujimaru Ritsuka: "I'm here to crush you, King Arthur."
Wang scoffed, "Then let's give it a try."
The scorching light bombarded her body, and the terrifying starlight burned her skin, sizzling like roasting meat.
At the same time, her body was also regenerating rapidly.
With the cycle of scorching, regeneration, and scorching again, the intense pain is actually only momentary.
Those who frequently experience burns from fire should know that the pain only lasts for a short period in the first half, because you won't feel any pain in the second half, and then you'll lose consciousness.
After becoming a True Ancestor, her tolerance for pain increased, and Fujimaru Ritsuka also possessed a powerful will that she herself could hardly imagine.
Compared to Fujimaru Ritsuka, who originally hoped to return to a "normal life," Gudako, who is now completely unable to go home and runs a bakery, is much more willing to go all out.
Princess's power is definitely more than this, so I can't let her down.
Therefore, I must give it a try; no matter what, I cannot back down.
Fujimaru Ritsuka stretched out her hands, blocking King Arthur's beam cannon just like the one in Dragon Ball blocked a ki blast!
King Arthur frowned slightly: "...?!"
Did they hold on?
No, that's...
The vaporized flesh rapidly regenerated and was then strengthened by the planet to the point where it could withstand the Holy Sword... However, even if elves are immortal beings, wouldn't their human half—wouldn't it collapse?!
The battle of performance between Dragon's Furnace and Star's Breath!
The Dragon's Core is comparable to a biological nuclear reactor. With each breath, it can generate immense magical power that even magicians cannot match. In his previous life, he was able to use the powerful core to tear apart all enemies in front of him and forcibly unite the shattered land of Britain under the grace and rule of King Arthur, the Camelot sun!
Artoria's fighting style relies entirely on magic, with her immense strength and ability to send bricks flying. Although she possesses certain combat skills, it has been proven that elegant swordsmanship and techniques are completely meaningless in the face of absolute mechanics.
Even with master-level swordsmanship, the pinnacle of mortal swordsmanship, wouldn't someone still recklessly detonate nuclear bombs and cause gas explosions?!
Therefore, the Black King did not hesitate at all, but continued to unleash the heaven-devouring light of the Dark Holy Sword with explosive force.
"The outcome will be decided now," the king declared.
She wouldn't go easy on Fujimaru Ritsuka just because she was a newbie. Fighting is fighting, not a matter of personal feelings or morality.
If you're still clinging to knightly honor at a time like this, you might as well feed it to the dogs.
She concluded that the only way to defeat Fujimaru Ritsuka was to completely annihilate her at the spiritual level, leaving no trace of her physical body, and erasure her entirely!
Therefore, the sword of Excalibur is fired in quick succession!
Also supported by infinite magic power, the Black Tyrant Knight King possesses rich combat experience and the body of a Servant.
"Don't even think about succeeding!" came a man's roar.
At that moment, Cú Chulainn made a decisive move. As his staff slammed into the ground, a colossal wooden giant rose up from the earth!
WickerMan!
【The Flame Cage Burned Out】
The wooden cage, transformed into a giant, roared with scorching flames, and the intense heat rushed towards him, instantly attacking the Tyrant Knight King from behind.
Hei Dai glanced at the huge humanoid fire cage behind him out of the corner of his eye, and coldly curled the corner of his mouth.
Even she would likely be injured facing such a Noble Phantasm, but...
“I expected this, Caster. I might have fallen for this kind of trick before, but now—!”
A violent hurricane suddenly erupted!
Like a barrier, it surrounded and spun around the Knight King, forming a storm-like wind barrier!
This is—the Wind King's Barrier!
In fact, although it is called a Noble Phantasm, the Wind King Barrier is actually a powerful magic, not a superb technique. It is simply a large amount of magical power forming a powerful whirlwind, which is then released instantly, and can even create a near-vacuum environment in that instant.
With the blessing of powerful magic, the Wind King Barrier, which was originally only used to change the light reflectivity of the sword, instantly enveloped the entire person. The strong hurricane generated a powerful centrifugal force due to its high-speed rotation, as if countless wind blades were tearing apart Cú Chulainn's Noble Phantasm!
