The Holy Maiden of Winter was a creation of the Third Law, and no one could say for sure how powerful her combat ability was. But since they were fighting, they had to consider the possibility of the Third Law. Against a power of this level, even if Tang Hao and Qing Zi worked together, they would not have any chance of winning.
Thus, Tang Hao kept an eye on her, retreating in order to advance, and giving the Holy Maiden a surprise attack.
In terms of physical strength, the Holy Maiden of Winter was weaker than an ordinary person once she left the castle, because the outside world would hasten her death.
Qing Zi's magic cannon did not directly fire at the Holy Maiden of Winter, but instead cut off her path of retreat, reducing the Holy Maiden of Winter's options. This caused the Holy Maiden to hesitate for a moment …
It was common knowledge that hesitation led to defeat.
Tang Hao naturally wouldn't miss such an excellent opportunity. Although he deeply respected the Holy Maiden of Winter's character and felt pity for her ending, that was a completely different matter. He didn't hold back in the slightest when he attacked, taking advantage of the Holy Maiden's moment of hesitation to thrust his longsword into her chest.
* Rip! *
The icy blade tore through the Holy Maiden of Winter's clothes and emerged from her back. The clear sensation let Tang Hao know that his attack had indeed struck his opponent, but he did not feel the slightest bit of joy in his heart. On the contrary, he felt a strange sense of disharmony.
It had gone too smoothly.
Tang Hao frowned, feeling a trace of unease, just like Cherry Blossom.
It was also at this moment that the Holy Maiden of Winter raised her hands. The attack that had pierced through her body did not change her kind gaze. Like a mother, she gently caressed Tang Hao's face.
Hum …
In that instant, Tang Hao had a strange feeling. He discovered that he had lost control of his body. His sight, smell, hearing, and all other senses had become incomparably fuzzy. His physical body seemed to have become a dispensable existence, and his soul felt like it was about to tear apart his body and break out.
But at the same time, an even more familiar power surrounded his will.
Divinity activated.
The powerful divinity helped him regain his perception of the outside world in an instant.
"Tiger, get up!"
Tang Hao immediately shouted. A dazzling light shot out from his sleeves — it was a small ball of light. With a whoosh, it shot towards the Holy Maiden of Winter, striking her forehead and causing her to involuntarily lean back, her hands leaving Tang Hao's cheeks.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tang Hao quickly withdrew his sword and retreated.
The Holy Maiden of Winter's body began to emit a holy light that bounced back along with the small ball of light. Secondly, Tang Hao's body was still temporarily out of control.
Although he had a safe distance, Tang Hao could not help but break out in cold sweat.
What had happened just now?
Maiden of Third Law?
Although the Holy Maiden of Winter was the creation of the Third Law, it was extremely difficult for her to use the Third Law. If she was alone, she would need at least a hundred years of accumulation to use the Third Law once. Or … was this just a by-product of the Third Law?
Whatever it was, Tang Hao had walked on the brink of death. If his soul had really been extracted, the consequences would have been unthinkable.
Fortunately, his divinity had pulled him back.
Divinity was a debuff?
The person who said this can shut up.
At least for Tang Hao, divinity had saved him twice so far.
The first time was during the Hundred Year War between England and France, where divinity had suppressed his berserk state. The second time was now. Of course, including the time when Yu Ji had sucked his blood, that would be three times.
What a one-in-a-thousand chance!
Tang Hao sighed inwardly as he recovered his body's state. As far as his eyes could see, the small ball of light seemed very listless, twisting and turning in the air. Tang Hao could sense its state, and realized that it had fallen into a state of weakness.
This made him even more aware of how terrifying the Holy Maiden of Winter was.
The Holy Maiden of Winter possessed the Third Law. Whether it was the power of the Third Law itself or its by-product, it allowed her to directly come into contact with her opponent's soul. Just now, his soul had almost been extracted, and it was even more so the natural bane of magical beings like the small ball of light, as it could directly obliterate its will.
"Come back."
Following Tang Hao's call, the small ball of light slowly flew back into his sleeve.
Opposite him, the Holy Maiden of Winter's eyes widened. Her expression was as kind as ever, but perhaps it was the holy light that made her look imposing and awe-inspiring.
Tang Hao did not dare to rashly come into contact with her again, and moved his body backwards.
Whatever the case, a head-on collision seemed inevitable.
Of course, this was also within his calculations. Finishing off the Holy Maiden of Winter with a single strike was unrealistic in the first place, and he had never really looked forward to it. Pretending to retreat was a tactic to conceal an attack, and this unexpected attack was also a part of the tactic. Its true purpose …
* Boom! *
An intense magic cannon shot with a temperature of three thousand degrees came from the front.
The Holy Maiden of Winter instinctively turned around, and saw Aoko standing at the entrance of the large cave and firing the magic cannon.
"Is this your true purpose?" The Holy Maiden of Winter's expression changed slightly. Even she did not dare to take this magic cannon shot head-on.
Tang Hao did not say anything, but he breathed a sigh of relief.
The purpose of the existence of tactics was to obtain an advantage in battle, and how to win in battle depended on the damage output. Therefore, in terms of results, no matter who the opponent was, they all had to do the same thing … Let Aoko have the greatest possibility of damage output.
No matter how trashy Aoko's magic skills were, it could not conceal her talent in destruction. This talent might not be worth mentioning in the eyes of orthodox magicians, but Tang Hao admired it very much. After all, in an actual battle, what could really guarantee one's survival was not the kind of comfortable sitting in a classroom. Bloodlines, family, and various magic theories that magicians enthusiastically talked about were not something that could be defeated by a single thesis.
It was true that the progress of magic needed to be driven by academics, but survival in battle could only be achieved through actual combat. No matter how good one's theoretical research was, if one did not know how to fight and did not know how to calculate, then one would only be an armchair strategist. In a real battle, one would probably end up like Director Ken, dying in a rural place that he looked down upon.
Just like at this moment, Aoko, who occupied the spirit vein of the large cave, had an inexhaustible amount of magic. She did not need to do anything, and only needed to extract the magic, and it was equivalent to an infinite energy cannon, displaying her talent for destruction to the fullest.
Boom! Boom! Boom …
Facing one magic cannon after another, it was only natural that the Holy Maiden of Winter was suppressed.
This was not something strange. Perhaps in terms of magic knowledge and theory, the Holy Maiden of Winter could match up to a hundred Aozaki Aokos, but as a cyborg who could not even leave the castle, as a person who had spent her entire life studying the Third Law, had she ever fought a proper fight with someone? Had she ever learned how to fight and scheme in battle? Did she know how to destroy something in the shortest time possible?
Fighting, destruction, and fighting and scheming. Although these were not good words, they seemed to be very important at this moment, and in this aspect, the Holy Maiden of Winter could not even catch up to Aoko.
Of course, suppressing was suppressing, and the Holy Maiden of Winter would not be defeated immediately. Most importantly, in such a concentrated barrage of magic cannons, Tang Hao could not intervene at all, because if he was not careful, it could turn into a siege of allies.
Tang Hao held his sword and paid attention to the Holy Maiden of Winter's movements. He had wanted to give her a One Blade Shura at any time, but perhaps because she had been tricked earlier, the Holy Maiden of Winter knew that those who played with tactics had dirty hearts. Even in the face of Aoko's pressure, she did not let down her guard against Tang Hao, and so Tang Hao could not find a chance.
Just as he was about to look for other countermeasures …
Suddenly, Tang Hao felt a strong sense of threat, and quickly jumped away from where he was standing.
Boom!
The next moment, the place where he had been standing exploded, and several lines of water shot up along the ground, streaking past Tang Hao's eyes.
This magic … has come so soon?
Tang Hao immediately turned his head, and saw a man standing not far away, who did not smile. He had a head of messy blue short hair, and his face was slightly pale.
Marqiri Zorgen!
"Holy Maiden, you seem to be in trouble," the man said, but his eyes were fixed on Tang Hao.
"Don't worry, I can handle this." The Holy Maiden of Winter's body weaved back and forth amidst the attacks of the magic cannons, trying to get closer to Aoko.
"I understand. Then, before Enban arrives, I'll take care of this fellow." Marqiri Zorgen nodded, and walked towards Tang Hao. At the same time, ripples began to appear around his body.
Water magic was the first magic that the Jiantong family had possessed. As for the insect magic, it was something that the corrupted Jiantong inkstone had developed to prolong its life.
"Heh, are you going to take care of me?" Tang Hao smiled. He was already feeling awkward about the situation, and Jiantong inkstone's arrival was even more to his liking.
"Of course, in order to eradicate all evil in this world, there must be no mistakes in the Holy Grail War. You came uninvited, so only death awaits you. Consider it a sacrifice for the future," Marqiri said in a low voice. Marqiri said in a deep voice. The water ripples around his body began to surge and droplets of water jumped out as if they contained terrifying power.
"Alright, I didn't manage to kill you two hundred years later. It's rare that we meet again, so let me sever this fate today. But before that, I still have to say …" Tang Hao raised the Penglai Jade Sword and pointed it at the other party. "The Holy Maiden has the talent of a Holy Maiden, and the Destroyer has the talent of a Destroyer. But old thing, your talent is the most useless. Die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Hao stepped forward with a whoosh, rapidly closing the distance between the two of them.
Marqiri's attack had long been prepared. A droplet of water flew out and splashed on Tang Hao's body. With a boom, Tang Hao's entire body exploded into pieces.
But the next moment, four or five Tang Hao's appeared around him.
Marqiri's expression changed slightly.
Short Steps, Phantom!
At the same time, Aoko raised his head and cursed, "Who's the Destroyer? Who's the one! "
