Despicableness was the passport of the despicable, and nobility was the epitaph of the noble.
Shiro Amakusa obviously did not expect Tang Hao to be so despicable. Just a second ago, he was still passionately talking about love and saving the world, and in the next second, he suddenly changed his attitude and charged at him without a word, catching him off guard.
If it were someone who was not prepared, he would probably be killed in a second.
However, even if Shiro Amakusa had the word "wolf" in his name, it did not mean that he was a wolf for nothing. At the moment when he turned around, he was alerted and instinctively raised his right arm and leaped backward.
Whoosh!
However, Shiro Amakusa was not a heroic spirit known for his strength. Yu Ji was much stronger than him. Coupled with the fact that Shiro Amakusa was unprepared, in that moment of hesitation, even though Shiro Amakusa had already put up his defense, the two swords burning with blood fire still cut through the barrier in front of him. In an instant, blood shot into the sky.
Fortunately, Shiro Amakusa reacted in time. Otherwise, if he did not take that step back, his Power of the King would have been gone!
Now, although his arm was not cut off, it was only attached to a layer of skin and flesh. Blood splattered on his face, and it looked terrible. Of course, Yu Ji did not have the slightest sympathy for him. She hated humans, and she hated lackeys who could not control themselves. The two swords slashed further, leaving two deep wounds on Shiro Amakusa's chest.
And the wave of blood that rose from under her feet was like the bloody mouth of a giant beast, trying to swallow Shiro Amakusa.
All the preparations that Shiro Amakusa had made before were all for naught at this moment.
It was not that he was not prepared enough, but Yu Ji's strength had completely exceeded the concept of an ordinary Servant. Coupled with the sudden attack, even a top-level Servant would not be able to withstand it, let alone him.
"Shiro!!"
Just as Shiro Amakusa was about to be cut down by Yuji's sword, a woman's cry suddenly rang out in the air. It was probably the first time she had called out that name, and she had even mispronounced it in her haste.
However, along with the voice, several beams of light as thick as an arm shot straight at Yu Ji and Tang Hao. Subconsciously, Yu Ji swung her sword to block the beams of light. Although the beams of light were blocked, she was also forced to take a few steps back from the impact, missing the opportunity to kill Shiro Amakusa. Then, she saw a flash of light under Shiro Amakusa's feet, and he was forcibly teleported away right before her eyes.
Now that Shiro Amakusa was nowhere to be found, Yuji had no way to chase after him. She could only return to Tang Hao's side and help him block those beams of light that came from nowhere.
"Sorry, I missed." Yu Ji's voice was a little apologetic and annoyed. It was such a good opportunity. If she could kill Shiro Amakusa on the spot just now, there would be no suspense in the rest of the battle except for Gilgamesh.
"It's okay. You've already seriously injured him. That's enough."
Tang Hao was actually a little regretful that he could not kill Shiro Amakusa directly. Such an opportunity was hard to come by. If he did not kill him this time, it would be even more troublesome in the future. But he could not blame Yu Ji. There was no reason to let her take the blame.
"What next?"
"Next …"
Boom!
Before Tang Hao could finish his words, there was a sudden loud noise in front of them. The big hole collapsed, and a huge circular garden rose from it and quickly spread outwards. More than a dozen door-like steel plates hovered around it, and dozens of muzzles could be vaguely seen on the periphery of the garden. The beams of light just now came from this place, but the angle of the attack was hidden through magic.
"Vanity Garden in the Sky!"
Although it was also Tang Hao's first time seeing this thing, he still recognized it at a glance. Until now, he could finally confirm that the Assassin who had not shown up all this time was the Assyrian Empress, Semiramis.
"Wait! Something doesn't seem right … "
"What's wrong?"
"The magic of the earth is beginning to become chaotic!"
Yu Ji's expression became a little serious. Tang Hao had been watching the garden in the sky that suddenly appeared, and she felt that she could not absorb the energy of the outside world normally. It was as if she was being led by some mysterious force. The magic of the entire space had become chaotic, but at the same time, it was gathering in a certain direction …
"It's that garden in the sky!" In the midst of the exclamation, Yu Ji pulled Tang Hao and quickly ran backward. "It is absorbing the magic of this place, and it may even suck us in. We must …"
"No, it's too late."
Tang Hao shook his head, because he saw that there was already a light under his feet. It was a teleportation circle!
Whoosh!
The next moment, the two of them seemed to be sucked into a whirlpool and disappeared from where they stood.
…
"Tang Hao and Miss Kasai are gone."
At the same time, Youzhu, who had been observing the two of them with projectile magic, immediately reported to the people around her. Then, everyone turned to look at Patchouli.
Although Patchouli had just arrived, her strength was recognized by everyone, and she looked like a wise person. So, after Tang Hao left the team, she became the one to make the decisions, and this was also what Tang Hao had told her before he left.
Of course, this arrangement made Ishtar a little unhappy. After all, she was a goddess. How could she listen to a human's orders? Witch? Not even a witch! What? There are gems? Alright.
After Patchouli took out two Philosopher's Stones as payment, Ishtar immediately became obedient.
However, the silly goddess did not realize that she was now just a possessed servant. After the Holy Grail War ended, she would be sent back home, and the two Philosopher's Stones would fall into Rin Harasaka's hands.
Of course, no one told her the truth.
"It's the Sky Garden, the noble phantasm of the Assyrian Empress. The two of them must have been forcefully teleported into it."
"Isn't that dangerous?" Youzhu frowned. She was a little more talkative at times like this.
According to Tang Hao's description, although the Assyrian Empress was an Assassin, she was actually a magician with the class of Assassin. The Sky Garden was her noble phantasm, but at the same time, it was also a fortress and a cage. Once the enemy fell into it, they would be locked up and beaten, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
"No, although it's dangerous, it's also our chance." Patchouli shook her head. "Since the other party has used such a powerful noble phantasm, it means that they won't have a stronger trump card. If we can destroy it from the inside, they will lose their strongest trump card. And most importantly … Shiro Amakusa is already seriously injured. If what Tang Hao said is true, that the Assyrian Empress cares more about him than herself, then it will be difficult for her to deal with us."
"That means …"
"That's right, attack!"
…
"Shiro! Shiro … "
Somewhere in the garden in the sky, Shiro Amakusa lay on the ground, covered in blood. A woman was kneeling beside him. She had a head of long, black hair, elf-like ears, and a fair and tender face that was mesmerizingly beautiful. She looked dignified and luxurious, but her temperament was a little decadent, but it was definitely not the lazy kind.
She was the Assyrian Empress, Semiramis, the servant summoned by Shiro Amakusa.
At this moment, she was holding Shiro Amakusa's body, and her hands were stained with his blood.
Shiro Amakusa was seriously injured. The sword on his arm was actually not a big deal, and it could be easily healed. The key was the two swords on his chest … it was too cruel, and it had hurt his Spiritual Core!
Although the Battle of the Holy Grail had always been incomparably cruel, where it was either one's death or the other's, and life and death were only a hair's breadth apart, in that instant, Shiro Amakusa's spiritual base was almost shattered with just two slashes. That woman … was too ruthless!
Looking at the man in her arms who was extremely weak, Semiramis called out his name. This was the first time she called him by his real name. Before this, she had always called him Master, and she had always put on an arrogant, cold, and indifferent attitude. But at this moment, she could no longer pretend. She only felt the pain in her heart like it was being torn apart.
"Shiro …"
"Assassin …" As she called out, Shiro Amakusa finally opened his eyes, and there was a bitter smile on his pale face. "Shiro, this is … the first time I heard you … call my name …"
"Shiro …" Semiramis showed a trace of joy. The treatment was effective, and his Spiritual Core had finally stabilized.
"I'm sorry to have made you worry." Shiro Amakusa struggled to stand up.
"No, your body still needs treatment." Semiramis pressed him down, and her expression gradually became cold. "If you don't want to die."
"Treatment … Yes, after all, this is not my own body, and I can't let it be affected … So, I'm counting on you, Assassin."
Semiramis nodded, and then she snorted softly. "Lancer."
Cuchulin appeared not far away.
"Those two have entered the garden, and the man is in the east. Go stop him."
"Hmph, I'm not your Servant, and I don't need to listen to your orders." Cuchulin snorted coldly. He was a little annoyed by Semiramis's commanding attitude, or rather, her entire existence made him feel annoyed, because it reminded him of another woman who was just as vicious as him.
But …
"It's Tang Hao, right? Heh, it just so happens that I want to settle the score with him, so I'll listen to you this time. But what about that woman? That guy is extremely strong. "
"You don't have to worry about it, I'll deal with her myself later!" Semiramis gritted her teeth, and there was a strong hatred in her eyes. That woman almost sent Shiro Amakusa back to his seat. She must settle the score with her own hands.
'Tsk, how scary.'
Cuchulin smacked his lips, but did not say anything else. He turned around and walked out.
"Lancer …"
Hearing Shiro Amakusa's voice, Cuchulin stopped and turned his head. Then he saw Shiro's regretful expression, and warned, "Don't … let him … speak!"
Hearing this, Cuchulin also trembled.
Of course, he knew who "he" was referring to.
Tang Hao, if one were to say that he was strong, he was actually just so-so, but he was too cunning. In two battles, he was defeated by his mouth, so much so that people were almost traumatized by it.
"Don't worry, I'll never let him speak!"
Cuchulin said in a low voice. Being defeated once was normal, being defeated twice was barely acceptable, but if it were to be defeated three times in a row … he might as well commit suicide!
