Zongman: Starting from adopting the homeless melon god

Chapter 258 The Defeated Joan of Arc

Her words made Arturia frown.

But before Artoria could say anything, Xiao Mo had already continued: "So can you send me back? If not, then I will still strive to win the Holy Grail War and make a wish to the Holy Grail to go back to the past. "

"I can take you back." Artoria said without hesitation.

She can also feel that Xiao Mo has changed his ways, and if Xiao Mo goes back to the past, his combat power will definitely be of great help, so she will naturally not refuse.

"But you are now a heroic spirit. Without the magic power provided by the Great Holy Grail, you cannot maintain your existence in this world for a long time with the magic power of the Master Magician alone, so you need to obtain a body first." Artoria said.

Xiao Mo is different from her. She not only has her original body, but also has the heart of the red dragon, which can continuously supply magic power.

Although Xiao Mo was created by Morgan based on her, he does not have a similar Magic Heart.

Therefore, if you want to stay in this world for a long time, in addition to finding a powerful magician to be your master, you can only find a way to obtain a physical body.

With Xiao Mo's unruly character, Artoria naturally thought that she would choose the latter.

But then, Xiao Mo made a proposal that surprised her.

"How about you be my master, I mean you from the past."

"With the magic power you possess, as long as you replenish it regularly during non-combat times, it shouldn't be difficult to maintain my existence, right?"

"After all, if my guess is correct, you have already thought about the wishes you will make after winning this Holy Grail War, right?"

Artoria looked at Xiao Mo blankly. She didn't expect that Xiao Mo not only changed his ways, but also seemed to have become much smarter.

Only then did she suddenly realize that she had never really cared about or understood Xiao Mo in the past.

The same goes for the other Knights of the Round Table.

Whether it was Lancelot, Gawain, or the other Knights of the Round Table, she had never really understood them, she had only seen their appearances in front of her.

Thinking back on the history books from that ancient mysterious country in the East that Kitagawa Yu had specially found for her during this period, she thought about the top-notch power tactics and strategies that had been displayed by countless emperors in that ancient civilization.

She couldn't help but realize again that she seemed really not suitable to be a king.

Even being a marshal in command of the three armies is not enough. At most, he is just a general.

"What's wrong? Can't you?" Seeing her being silent for a long time, Xiao Mo thought she didn't agree and couldn't help but secretly become nervous.

"No, I just suddenly thought of something." Arturia shook her head.

She felt that if she wanted to be Xiao Mo's master, Morgan would be more suitable, but at this time she also knew that Xiao Mo actually wanted to stay by her side and get closer to her.

At the same time, she also wanted to compensate for the mistakes she had made in the past in this way, so she finally accepted Xiao Mo's proposal without speaking.

"Where is your current master?"

"That guy, he's probably still hiding and doesn't dare to come over." Xiao Mo said with a shrug, not caring how dark Lion Jie Jie Li's face would be when he heard this.

But her intuition about Lion Jie Jie Li was right.

Lion Jie Jieli really doesn't have any strong pursuit of the Holy Grail. He just has a mentality that if I gain it, I will be lucky if I lose my life.

So even though Xiao Mo had given up on competing for the Holy Grail and even started chatting with Artoria about the arrangements after the Holy Grail War, he just shook his head and smiled bitterly, showing no dissatisfaction.

At this time, Karna, who had temporarily stopped due to the huge commotion caused by Artoria's sudden explosion and killing Siegfried, also fought with Jeanne again under the remote urging of his master.

Danic, who was far away in the Yggdomirenia family castle, had a gloomy look on his face, with an icy cold light flashing in his eyes.

Although he really wanted to take the opportunity to kill Karna, he had to endure it.

Since Jack killed the master of their Yggdomirenia family, he only had six servants in his hands.

Including Siegfried who had just been killed, he only had five servants in his hands.

At this time, he didn't know that the berserker Spartacus on the opposite side had rebelled and came to join him.

At this time, it seemed to him that there were seven heroic spirits on the red side. Even if he sent all five of his servants there, they would still be no match for them.

Unless Joan of Arc and Red Ace also join forces with Black.

It's a pity that Joan of Arc can't protect herself now.

Red A's origin is mysterious and he doesn't know whether he is an enemy or a friend, so it is impossible for him to send anyone to rescue Joan of Arc, otherwise it will be easy for the meat bun to beat the dog and never come back.

Now he can only continue to delay, relying on Vlad III's geographical advantage in Romania, using tens of thousands of artificial human and golem armies, and a large number of magic traps surrounding the outside of the castle to delay time. .

When Avisbronn created the original giant, the red side did not dare to use the large-scale anti-army weapon because the Great Holy Grail was in hand, lest the Holy Grail be destroyed as well.

That was the time for them to fight back and fight decisively.

But Joan of Arc can't be saved, but Red A can still 'save' it.

After thinking for a moment, Darnic sent Chiron, who was also an Archer, to support Red A and force Atalanta back with long-range attacks.

"If you have the chance, you can directly activate your Noble Phantasm and shoot the opponent's Archer!" Danik said coldly.

One person was lost on their side, so he naturally wanted the red side to lose one person as well.

The most important thing is that Chiron's Noble Phantasm is fully capable of doing this.

Chiron, who possesses B+ level clairvoyance and A level mind's eye (true), has farther vision and sharper insight than Atalanta.

Normally, Atalanta's traces would definitely be discovered first.

In addition, although it does not have a sure-hit effect such as the law of cause and effect, it has the highest accuracy. At the same time, it is activated with the power of the constellation, making it extremely difficult to defend against the A-level anti-personnel Noble Phantasm, Scorpion Shot.

Under a sneak attack, Chiron had no chance of killing Atalanta.

Even if Atalanta knew Chiron's information through Emiya Kiritsugu in advance, God knows when the arrow from the starry sky would suddenly fall.

Especially during the battle, it would be too dangerous to come all of a sudden.

Chiron nodded, and after transforming into a spirit child, he quickly left the castle.

In addition, Red A itself was coming towards the castle with Gold, so both sides were already more than 200 kilometers away from the castle before Karna and Joan of Arc could decide the winner again. Encountered.

When Red A arrived, he already knew Chiron's name and information from Inhibition, so he did not say hello to Chiron, pretended not to notice him, and continued to escape towards the castle.

Chiron also manifested his body, lying in wait, just waiting for Atalanta to show her head before launching a fatal blow.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Chiron worked hard to lower his aura and murderous intent, and even put away the bow and arrow in his hand. His whole person was like a tree or a stone, completely integrated into the surrounding environment.But Atalanta is not a weak heroic spirit.

Although he can't match Chiron, the great sage of Centaur, in archery, he also doesn't have perceptual skills like mind's eye.

But as a hunter, she has a beast-like sense of crisis.

"coming--"

Scorpio shot!
Chiron activated his Noble Phantasm Scorpion Shot as soon as he discovered Atalanta.

Sagittarius, who was always pulling his bow, shot a meteor arrow with the speed of light, which fell from the sky towards Atalanta.

However, while Atalanta was thinking about Chiron, a strong crisis suddenly arose in her heart, and she did not hesitate to activate the A-level inherent skill 'Hunting the Wild Boar of Caledon' that can give herself an evasive effect. .

In the next moment, the starlight with no sure-hit effect rubbed Atalanta's body, leaving a dark arrow hole on the ground behind her that was only as thick as an adult's arm but tens of meters deep.

This made Chiron couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

However, he was surprised. Chiron took out his bow and arrow as soon as Atalanta escaped Scorpio's shot and launched an attack on Atalanta.

Although it is only an A-level weapon, its power when shot with B-level muscle strength is also extraordinary.

However, such an attack poses no threat to Atalanta.

Atalanta's own agility attribute is only A-level, which is not as good as Chiron's A+ level, and is not top-notch among Archer job descriptions.

But she has 'Aesthetics of Chase' and 'Crossing Arcadia', two inherent skills that can cross obstacles, increase movement speed, and give the last-come-first-served effect.

So in actual performance, even A+ level agility is often not as good as hers.

Chiron's first arrow just triggered the inherent skill of 'Aesthetics of Chase', allowing her to strike first. Not only did she avoid Chiron's flat A, but she also took the opportunity to activate her own Noble Phantasm.

Yes, Atalanta was quite straightforward in activating her Noble Phantasm.

After all, she already knew what Noble Phantasms and unique skills Chiron had.

Chiron's Inner Eye can also greatly improve his dodge ability. When combined with his A+ level agility, his dodge ability is almost maxed out.

However, Atalanta's Noble Phantasm, the Arrow Book of Complaints, is a continuous rain of dense arrows. At the same time, each arrow is attached with the power of the sun god Apollo and the moon goddess Artemis, and has an explosive effect.

As long as Chiron could not escape the range of the arrows, he would not be able to completely avoid the attack even if he had the foresight.

Although the damage of a single arrow is not very high, Chiron does not have any defensive treasures, so he will be injured after being hit.

"Presenting this disaster to the sun god Apollo and the moon goddess Artemis - the Arrow Book of Complaints!"

Atalanta drew her bow and released the arrow, and the arrow flew into the sky, and then turned into a shower of golden arrows that filled the sky and fell towards Chiron.

Chiron looked solemn, and he did not expect Atalanta to be so decisive.

Although he tried his best to escape outside the coverage area of ​​the arrow rain, he still couldn't escape when the arrow rain fell.

But at this moment, Red A, who had escaped earlier, turned back without knowing when. With his fingers spread out, he directly summoned the seven-fold ring of Blazing Heaven to block the heads of the three of them.

boom boom boom-

Explosions continued to sound, but the light shield composed of seven layers of cherry blossom petals only shattered two layers and blocked all attacks.

In order to prevent Chiron from escaping, Atalanta increased the range of the arrow rain a lot, which resulted in a reduction in the lethality per unit area.

Seeing this, Atalanta, knowing that there was nothing she could do against the two of them, retreated decisively, and continued the fight without activating the Noble Phantasm: Divine Punishment.

Red A and Chiron did not pursue them. After looking at each other, they took Gold back to Yggdomirenia Castle.

"Whose heroic spirit are you?"

As soon as he saw Red A, Danik asked about the origin of Red A's identity.

In this regard, Red A did not hide it, and directly told him that he was ordered to suppress the power and came to this world to defeat the masters of Red Archer and Caster from the parallel world, as well as King Arthur.

"King Arthur? From a parallel world?!" Danik was surprised after hearing this.

But then he thought that even a universal wish-making machine like the Great Holy Grail existed, and traveling through parallel worlds seemed to be nothing to make a fuss about.

"Then we can join forces to deal with them. Otherwise, you are the only one. You shouldn't be the opponent of Red Archer, Caster, and King Arthur, right?"

"Yes, but I will only attack them."

Darnik didn't force it when he heard this. He was very satisfied with having one more red ace.

At the same time, the battle between Karna and Joan of Arc finally came to a conclusion.

Seeing that his martial arts skills were no match for his own, Karna took the initiative to distance himself, giving Jeanne a chance to activate his Noble Phantasm.

It seems stupid to do this, but it is his reward and respect for Joan until she dies in battle, without the judgment of the privileged gods.

"Thank you for your respect, son of Sun God Surya, hero of charity, then please take this blow!"

"Lord, this body is at your disposal—"

Joan of Arc cut her palm open with the sword in her hand, then knelt down devoutly, put her hands together, closed her eyes, made a praying posture, and activated the Holy Phantasm of the Red Lotus.

This is armed with concepts crystallized from her own mental landscape.

Using the sword of Saint Catherine, which she had never used before, as a catalyst, she manifested the flames that burned her in the past.

Using this Noble Phantasm will cause Jeanne to die directly.But he also exchanged his life for powerful power, which is powerful enough to reach EX level.

Of course, there is a difference between EX level and EX level. It can even be said to be a world of difference.

Jeanne d'Arc's Red Lotus Saint is said to be EX-level, but in fact the damage is about the same as Amakusa Shirou Tokisada's A+-rank anti-army Noble Phantasm Dual Wrist Zero Concentration.

There is no comparison with Karna's EX-level Noble Phantasm, Sun Disk, Obeying Death.

Since it was for respect and repayment, Karna naturally directly used his most powerful Noble Phantasm, 'Sun Disk, Obey Death'.

A golden sun in the shape of an eye rose from behind Karna.

The next second, the light gun that was capable of hitting the gods and must be destroyed turned into a red light, directly piercing the sea of ​​​​fire, falling on Joan of Arc, and instantly annihilated her.

The Soul of the Heroic Spirit had just left the body, and before it could return to the Heroic Spirit Seat, Sakura was the first to inhale it into the Little Holy Grail in her body.
