"Seems like the heavens are still on my side."
Shiro Amakusa looked at the opponent in front of him, his eyes filled with endless emotions. Everything happened so suddenly and unexpectedly that he did not even have time to think.
When Tang Hao and Yuji broke through the door, he thought that his plan would be ruined and everything would be over. However, he did not expect that a Servant would walk out of the Holy Grail and bring Tang Hao and Yuji into the source in front of everyone.
At that moment, even Shiro Amakusa was shocked, but he quickly came to his senses.
The Servant that walked out of the Holy Grail seemed to be uninterested in anyone except Tang Hao. When the vortex connected to the source closed, it immediately disappeared, and the turning point was also at that moment.
The disappearance of Tang Hao and Yuji did not only mean that they had lost their combat power, but more importantly, the panic and uneasiness that the incident itself had brought. Even Patchouli panicked at that moment, let alone the others.
At that moment, the only one who was not affected was Shiro Amakusa.
After he came to his senses, he realized that this was a rare opportunity, and without hesitation, he struck out with his strongest attack.
Noble Phantasm — Dual Wrists, Zero Cluster!
Shiro Amakusa was never a combat Servant. After all, he was only 17 years old when he was alive, and he did not have many achievements. Only his wrists, because they had repeatedly created miracles, had been upgraded into a noble phantasm. However, even this noble phantasm was not used for combat.
His right wrist, the Evil Devouring Plate, was mainly responsible for assisting in combat, such as futuristic vision, while his left wrist, the Amami Base Plate, had the function of purification and strengthening, allowing his body to achieve the effect of immortality. However, because his swordsmanship was only considered excellent, not even first-class, no matter how much he strengthened it, it was still impossible for him to reach the level of a Servant that specialized in combat like Cuchulin.
To put it bluntly, Shiro Amakusa's combat power was the most embarrassing in this Holy Grail War.
However, his relic had other unique advantages. Because it was a miraculous sublimation, it could be connected to any magic base, allowing him to use any magic. In the 60 years of preparation, through continuous trials and deductions, he had finally developed the ability to upgrade his relic.
As long as both of his wrists were connected to the spirit vein, the magic circuit on both of his wrists would be overloaded. Then, he would be able to refine the Dark Matter that he had created. Then, he would be able to launch a destructive attack that would erode everything around him. That was the Double Wrist, Zero Concentration, a Grade A + military relic.
In the story of FA, Shiro Amakusa counteracted Jeanne d 'Arc's Red Lotus Saintess with this blow.
That was Jeanne d 'Arc. Whether it was her fame, achievements, or influence in history, Shiro Amakusa, a little priest who was persecuted during the shogunate era, could not compete with her. Jeanne d' Arc's Red Lotus Saintess was a self-destructing relic at the cost of her life … That's right, it was the same as a great hero's, so one could imagine how powerful it was.
Therefore, when Shiro Amakusa unleashed his attack, the entire space was almost engulfed in darkness. Seeing this, Semiramis cooperated and used her Noble Relic, the Pride King's Fine Wine, to add some poison to the dark space. With the double attack of poison and dark matter, the situation was instantly reversed.
When the darkness dissipated, Ishtar and little Ilya had already fallen to the ground.
The battle between Ishtar and the Golden Flash had already consumed a lot of energy. This unguarded attack was like adding snow to snow. Even his spiritual core was almost shattered. If it were not for the goddess' strong spiritual base, he would have died on the spot.
Little Ilya's situation was slightly better. After all, the ruby and sapphire were the creation of the Second Law. As long as they were provided with magic, they could even block the Nerdy King's curry stick. Unfortunately, the continuous battle had consumed a lot of her magic, and she could not connect to the Winter Wood Spirit Vein in the Sky Garden. After blocking this attack, little Ilya directly exited the state of a magical girl and turned back into an ordinary elementary school student.
Obviously, she could not continue to fight in this state.
Among the remaining people, Patchouli was safe and sound. Her Absolute Defense spell would automatically activate whenever she encountered a fatal attack. Okita Soki, on the other hand, was not so lucky. He was half-kneeling on the ground and vomiting blood. Apparently, he was seriously injured.
This was all thanks to the master. If it were not for Patchouli's high magic power, which greatly increased her magic power and other attributes, with the strength of her spiritual base, this attack would have directly crushed her spiritual base.
As for the big Ilya, she was unscathed because … Greece's number one lolicon, Hercules, once again turned his body into an iron wall to help Ilya block all the damage.
But this price caused Heracles' body to become a ghastly sight. Originally, Semiramis' poison had no effect on him at all, but now, these poisons began to gradually corrode his heavily injured body.
With just one blow, two people fell, and two were seriously injured. Other than Miss Okita, who was slightly embarrassed, the other three were extremely powerful. Such a battle record was enough for Shiro Amakusa to brag about for several years, but … it was not enough!
"Gilgamesh!"
Along with Shiro Amakusa's shout, Gilgamesh's dull eyes gradually woke up. Looking at the mess on the scene, his eyes slowly moved.
"Yes, there are still things to be done."
There was a trace of loneliness in Gilgamesh's tone. He looked at Ishtar who was lying on the ground, unable to get up. He did not even feel the slightest pleasure of revenge because Tang Hao had disappeared, which instinctively reminded him of Enkidu … Although Tang Hao and Enkidu had completely different natures to him, there was no difference in the loneliness.
He had stayed in the modern world for ten years just to wait for the day of the final battle with Tang Hao.
It was clearly right in front of him, and there was clearly a chance to defeat him, but … why did it turn out like this?
But it was not over yet …
His eyes stopped on Patchouli.
Tang Hao could not come back, and he also knew that no one could replace him. But ten years of waiting, ten years of dedication, he did not want to waste it. At least … there was still a magician here!
Boom!
The next moment, countless noble artifacts blasted towards Patchouli.
“Berserker!”
"Roar!!"
At the same time, in an angry roar, the Mythical giant charged towards Shiro Amakusa.
The battle broke out again.
Hercules was already seriously injured, and in this garden in the sky, Iliya's magic was also limited. Whether it was speed or strength, he was no longer what he used to be, and he even felt sluggish in his old age.
With a slash of the sword, in the sound of metal clashing, Shiro Amakusa was sent flying.
Again, Shiro Amakusa was not a combat Servant, and the noble artifact he used just now was already his last resort. The remaining magic in the spirit vein could not support him to use a second noble artifact, and he was facing a great hero from Greece. Even if this great hero was half-dead, he was still far more powerful than Shiro Amakusa.
"Shiro!"
Seeing that Shiro Amakusa was being chased, Semiramis panicked out of concern and immediately raised her arm to help. However, halfway through the incantation, her body suddenly trembled, and an intense pain spread throughout her body. Looking down, she saw a bloody sword piercing through her body and out of her chest.
"Don't underestimate the Shinsengumi."
"You are … Argh!"
Semiramis suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood, and her face became extremely pale. She was originally dispirited, but now she looked even more dispirited.
The sword had pierced through her Spiritual Base.
"Ha … Ha …" Semiramis raised her hand to hold the blade and laughed. It was not a laugh of unwillingness, but … a trace of relief?
"What are you laughing at?" Okita Soki frowned and asked instinctively.
"Nothing, I just feel that … you have all ignored someone …"
"Huh?" Okita Soki was stunned. Suddenly, a strong sense of danger rose in his heart, and he immediately stepped aside and dodged to the side.
Puff!
At the same time, Okita Soki's body froze, and two black keys pierced out of her chest.
Black keys! This is …?
"Argh!"
As if history was repeating itself, Okita Soki spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body softly fell to the ground.
"The body of a servant is really different from that of a human. Although she is a girl, she is unimaginably powerful. If it weren't for your magic enhancement, even my black keys would not have been able to destroy her Spiritual Base." As Okita Soki fell to the ground, a man with a smile on his face appeared, and he spoke as if there was no one else around.
Yanamari!
"Don't talk nonsense. You … go and kill Berserker's master …" Semiramis said weakly.
"Oh, don't you need me to finish her off? She's not dead yet. "
"It doesn't matter. Her Spiritual Base has been pierced, and she can no longer fight. She can only wait for death. Besides, she is not a servant summoned by the Holy Grail. Her death is not necessary. The most important thing now is … Argh …" Looking at Okita Soki lying on the ground, Semiramis spat out another mouthful of blood. Her Spiritual Base was also pierced, but she could use magic to temporarily prolong her life, so she could last longer than Okita Soki.
"Is that so?" Yanamari responded noncommittally. She looked around and couldn't help but smile happily. "It's really tragic. I don't know which side to help at this time."
Yanamari had been in the Sky Garden, but he never showed up. That was because the battle at that time didn't need him. It didn't matter if he was there or not.
Now, Patchouli and Jin Shinjin were fighting. Facing such a strong enemy, neither of them could be distracted, and neither could intervene. Because of the battle with Jin Shinjin, Patchouli could no longer play the role of a master. Without her demon, Okita Soki's Spiritual Base was pierced by Yanamari. Although his body hadn't disappeared, he was no longer able to fight.
Little Ilya and Ishtar could be ignored. The only power left was Ilya and her Berserker.
Of course, if there were no accidents, with Berserker's strength, it would be enough to kill Shiro Amakusa and then kill Semiramis. But … there was Yanamari.
Yanamari's existence would determine the direction of the entire battle. No matter which side he sided with, it would be an overwhelming victory.
Therefore, after hearing this sentence, even Semiramis was shocked.
After being together for so long, she was still unable to see through Yan Fengqi Li. She completely didn't know what he was expecting or what he wanted. If Yan Fengqi Li turned against her at this time, she wouldn't be surprised at all.
"However, I still look forward to the success of your plan."
With an unpredictable smile, Yan Feng Qili finally walked towards Ilya.
Semiramis breathed a sigh of relief.
On the other hand, Ilya subconsciously took a few steps back with a solemn look in her eyes.
She was protected by Berserker and wasn't hurt by Shiro Amakusa's noble phantasm. However, the poison that pervaded the area still affected her. She had to resist the poison and at the same time, she had to offer demon to Berserker. If Yanamari attacked her, she would definitely die.
"It's a pity, master of the Baylon family of Ainz, you don't make me look forward to you as much as your father did." Yan Fengqili walked towards Ilya step by step, looking calm and composed, but then he shook his head.
Ilya's expression changed.
This person … knows how to cut off his son?
"I met your father ten years ago. I was extremely satisfied with him. Although we didn't have a victor between us, he was the first person who made my blood boil. He made my heart, which was like a dead tree, ignite … Alright, I might have said too much, then …"
Swoosh!
Yan Fengqili raised his hand lightly. In an instant, the black key in his hand shot towards Ilya like a bolt of lightning.
"Roar!"
Sensing the crisis that his master was in, Hercules roared violently. However, Semiramis chanted a spell, and two chains immediately flew out of the void and tied Hercules' legs, preventing him from rescuing his master.
It's over!
Semiramis smiled with relief. In her current state, this kind of support was the limit, but it was enough. The enemy had no more reinforcements. Although Okita Soki struggled to get up, it was futile. If she lay on the ground motionless, she might be able to hold on for a little longer. The more she struggled, the faster she would die. Next, she just had to wait for Feng Qili to kill the master, and Berserker would …
Clang!
"Huh?"
Semiramis suddenly heard Yanamari's surprised voice. She couldn't help but turn her head, and suddenly, her eyes widened. She saw a figure in front of Ilya.
"How is this possible? You should have already … No, you are? "
"Sorry to disappoint you. Even I have the possibility of standing up at the critical moment." Staring at Yanamari, the person who used his fist to hit the black key was Ishtar … No, to be precise —
"Rin, is that you?"
"Of course. Although Ishtar has been defeated and can no longer fight, her goddess's core has not collapsed. So, I can only fight in her place … Qili, are you ready? Even if I'm not ready, I won't let you go! "
As soon as he finished speaking, Rin stepped on the ground with the tip of his foot and charged straight at Yan Fengqili.
Clang! Bang!
She didn't use gemstone magic but pure physical skills. She used her own body to block the black key and then punched the opponent's shoulder. Suddenly, there was a crack, and the sound of bones breaking could be heard.
That was to be expected. Even though Rin was a human, she used the power of Ishtar, the goddess. Besides …
"Beautiful. Looks like you've completely mastered the Eight Extremities Fist I taught you, Rin."
Yanamari reconnected the broken bone as if she couldn't feel the pain. Then, she took a deep breath, abandoned her sword, and clenched her fist, a hint of excitement in her eyes.
"I'm very happy that my final opponent is you. Come, Rin!"
"As you wish!"
In an instant, the master-disciple pair clashed. Eight Extremities Fist against Eight Extremities Fist. The shadows of their fists intertwined, showing their ferocity.
In terms of physical strength alone, Yanfeng Qili was naturally superior to Rin. However, Rin was currently using the power of a goddess. With the support of her divine power, each of her attacks had the power to split mountains and split rocks. With the addition of the gemstone magic, she could kill Yanfeng Qili with a single blow.
But she didn't use it, because she had used up all of it in the previous battle.
Feng Qili was very strong to begin with, and with Semiramis' magic strengthening, after a while, the two of them's striking power and physical resistance were almost the same, and the only thing that could determine the victor was the [Eight Extremities Fist].
Bang!
With a loud thud, Rin's abdomen was hit hard. Even with the divine power protecting her body, she almost fainted from the pain.
"Although your Eight Extremities Fist is not bad, you're still my student, Rin." Yanamari smiled and took a step forward, instantly appearing in front of Rin. "You're still too early to think that you can surpass your master."
Yanamari's hands were right in front of him. If he took this blow, the victor would be decided.
"That's not necessarily true."
But at this moment, the corners of Sen Ban Rin's mouth suddenly curled up, revealing a sly smile. That ferocious fist force suddenly wrapped around Yan Feng Qili's arm like flowing water, pulling him forward.
Huh?
Yanamari's expression changed. Her fist force was neutralized, and even her center of gravity became unstable, and she instinctively leaned back.
This wasn't the Eight Extremities Fist … Oh no!
Under Yanfeng Qili's attentive gaze, Sen Ban Rin's gentle aura suddenly became sharp again, and the pair of green scallion palms seemed to gather infinite destructive power as they pressed down on Yanfeng Qili's chest.
"Fire-like Invasion!"
Boom!
Crack!
As Sen Ban Rin's hands fell, a thunderous sound rang out, and Yanfeng Qili's body was sent flying like a kite with a broken string. Before he landed on the ground, a crisp sound rang out from his body. This blow had directly shattered his bones and meridians.
Finally, he fell to the ground and lay there motionless.
"You won?" Rin stared at Yanamari, and only when she was sure that he wouldn't get up again did she breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, she wasn't as profound in the Eight Extremities Fist as Yanamari was, and she couldn't surpass him in this aspect. At the critical moment, she remembered the secret manual that Tang Hao had given her, but because of the short time, she had only learned half a move, and it was impossible for her to use it against a physical expert like Yanamari.
So, she deliberately showed an opening to let Yanamari lower his guard, and finally succeeded in one hit.
Fortunately, she didn't drop the ball at the critical moment.
Perhaps the goddess helped her drop the ball, didn't she?
Rin thought to herself in relief, but before she could react, she heard Ilya's exclamation.
“Berserker!”
Rin raised his head abruptly, only to see Semiramis open her arms, an incomplete black coffin floating above her, rapidly accumulating energy and baring its fangs at Hercules.
Not good!
Rin's expression suddenly changed.
Semiramis' Spiritual Base had been severely damaged, and she should be unable to fight anymore, but since she was a Servant, as long as she hadn't completely disappeared, she shouldn't ignore the threat of her opponent, not to mention that this was her home ground.
Perhaps seeing that Yanamari was defeated, Semiramis planned to exchange her life for a life, and launch the last attack before her death.
If she succeeded, if Hercules was killed …
Without any time to think, Rin Haruban dashed forward.
She had to stop her no matter what. Not for humanity, not for victory, at least … for Tang Hao, she had to stop her!
Rin gritted her teeth and leaped over a dozen meters. However, just as her fist was about to touch Semiramis, she suddenly felt a sense of weakness that she had never felt before, and her whole body fell from the sky.
Eh! Could it be …
Rin raised her head with difficulty, only to see a faintly discernible energy flying out of her body, rushing toward the Holy Grail.
Ishtar was gone.
After all, her Spiritual Base had been destroyed, and now it was time for her to die.
Semiramis escaped, but she didn't care, because the result would be the same. After this shot, whether she won or lost, her life would end here.
So, she showed Shiro Amakusa a smile without reservation.
"Take it, Shiro, this is my last magic …"
Boom!
As soon as she finished speaking, the black coffin shook violently, and the powerful shot directly swallowed Hercules.
"No —!!"
Ilya screamed and knelt on the ground, staring blankly at the scene in front of her.
Then, a second wave of energy flew toward the Holy Grail.
At this point, the Holy Grail had gathered the death of six Servants.
And the only Servant summoned by the Holy Grail this time was Semiramis, but she was also lying on the ground, not far from death.
The Red Death's descent through the Holy Grail didn't consume any of the Holy Grail's magic. It only borrowed the power of the passage, so the Holy Grail was still full of energy. At this time, the Holy Grail finally revealed its proper form.
When the pure white light spread in all directions, even Golden Flash and Patchouli, who were fighting, couldn't help but slow down their attacks and look at the Holy Grail.
"Finally …"
Shiro Amakusa half-knelt on the ground. He, who had been obsessed with the Holy Grail, now looked at Semiramis with a relieved and guilty expression.
With the appearance of the Holy Grail, his mission was completed. After the appearance of the Third Law, everything would develop according to his ideal, and all of this was because of Semiramis's sacrifice.
He stood up and walked toward Semiramis, one step at a time.
Then …
Then, the golden Holy Grail released a green light.
Why was it green?
Shiro Amakusa stopped in his tracks, and the others also looked surprised. A few seconds later, the green light seemed to break through the shackles of the Holy Grail, and a familiar voice came from it.
"I'm back."
