The "Dragon Slayer"'s restraint on the "Dragon Attribute" is specifically manifested in two aspects.
First, special attack on dragons to increase damage. Originally, a sword cut would leave a wound three millimeters deep. With the bonus of "Dragon Slayer", the same sword cut would become a wound of four or even five millimeters. The specific bonus depends on the skill level and the attributes of the opponent's dragon.
Second, the impact on the spiritual level. This is the reason why Altria felt suppressed by instinct.
Of course, Altria, as a young girl, was able to shoulder the entire British Empire. Her will was firm. Now that she had lost her obsession, her mind was perfect and flawless. Although the pressure from the "Dragon Slayer" was terrible, it was not unbearable.
However, being able to bear it does not mean that it will not be affected. After all, it is pressure from instinct. Unless the dragon factor in the body is stripped away, this suppression will always exist and affect Altria's performance. One hundred points of strength can only be exerted to ninety-five points, and if Siegfried's momentum is further improved, it may even drop to ninety points.
Don't underestimate the difference of five or ten points. In a duel between masters, a difference of one point can sometimes determine the outcome, let alone five or ten points. Add to that the feature of "Special attack against dragons, increased damage". It can be said that before the battle even begins, Altria has already lost half the battle.
This is not an exaggeration. The differences in the compatibility between servants are just so huge. Compared to Siegfried who was completely helpless against Achilles, Artoria is much better, at least she is not helpless.
According to Shinji's understanding of Artoria, even if she had the strength to fight, she would still be defeated in the end. There was no way, Siegfried's advantage was too obvious.
Their basic attributes and physical abilities are roughly equal, and neither can overpower the other.
As for sword skills, Artoria had practiced swordsmanship since childhood and had been tempered on the battlefield, so she was undoubtedly first-rate. But that was limited to humans, and she did not break the limits of humans. Siegfried had truly stepped into the "inhuman realm", a level behind. Even with the assistance of "intuition" and "magic release", it was difficult to make up for this gap.
In terms of Noble Phantasms, both of them have two Noble Phantasms. Altria has one A++ and one C; Siegfried has one A+ and one B+. If you add them up and calculate the average, Siegfried has the advantage, not to mention that Siegfried's "Dragon Blood Armor" is enough to rank in the top ten in terms of practical Noble Phantasms. Under the protection of "Dragon Blood Armor", Siegfried has a very high tolerance rate, while Altria's tolerance rate drops to the freezing point because of the "Dragon Slayer" special attack against dragons.
Now that the "Wind King Barrier" has been broken, unless Artoria retrieves the scabbard like last time, or Siegfried makes an irreparable mistake, Artoria has no chance of winning.
—It should have been like this, but the reality was not like this. The two fought for hundreds of rounds. Siegfried used his sword skills and dragon-slaying power to the extreme, but still could not gain an advantage over Altria.
In desperation, Gold could only report the truth to Danik and ask for support.
When Shinji got the news, he was stunned. He kept repeating the same thing in his mind: How could my Aho-ge be so strong? Could it be that after she became a mature lady, she not only understood people's hearts, but also her fighting power increased? This is unscientific.
Shinji has forgotten that this world is not only about science, but also about mystery. The girl who signed the master-servant contract with him is no longer the girl he remembered.
I remember her as the original Saber of the Fate series. She made a contract with the restraining force on the sword fence, fixed the time and traveled through time and space in a similar way to the Heroic Spirit to participate in the Holy Grail War. Her strength is based on the last battle before her death.
But now she has already solved the time lock, and has stepped down from the sword rail and entered the utopia, where she has spent 1,500 years as an immortal being. 1,500 years, even a pig should have become a spirit, let alone the world-famous Knight King, the Red Dragon of Britain
Although during these 1500 years, Artoria was like a dragon, sleeping most of the time and waking up very little, which is why her memory was not eroded by time. However, she signed a contract with the restraining force after all, and knew that she might have to fight for humans or planets in the future, so as long as she was awake, she would practice sword and gun.
What's even more exaggerated is that there is not only Artoria in the Utopia, but also Merlin. This guy is Artoria's teacher, and most of Artoria's skills were taught by Merlin - through dreams. Who made this guy a nightmare? For him, dreaming is as easy as breathing.
With Merlin's doting and indulgence towards Artoria, if Artoria says "I want to train", Merlin will guarantee to weave a dream for her for training, and he can create any monster she wants - as an immortal top-level peeping Tom who can observe the whole world at will, Merlin has seen all kinds of monsters. Even if you want to fight a god, Merlin can create it for you in a dream, and the degree of reality is definitely over 80%.
To be honest, Artoria herself didn't know how strong she was, she only knew that she was getting stronger. Even if it was just a little bit every day, no, a little bit every month, the accumulation over 1,500 years would be very impressive. The so-called shortcomings were also made up for over time.
Today, her first-class swordsmanship has already reached the divine realm in the dream battles, and her most relied-on "intuition" has also been upgraded from A to A++. At this time, she is the undisputed strongest of the Knights of the Round Table. Even if Lancelot with the "Indestructible Lake Light" is resurrected, even if Gawain is at the peak of the "Saint Number", he is no match for her.
If Artoria wasn't used to the attitude of a queen, even if Siegfried had the bonus of "Dragon Slayer", she would still have the upper hand. Of course, there is no hope of victory, just like when Siegfried fought against Karna - he couldn't find the opportunity to release the Noble Phantasm, and the opponent had the "Dragon Blood Armor" and "re-set up his posture". Siegfried would not lose even if he fought for days and nights. Even if he can't beat you, he can still drag you to death. This is the capital of Siegfried's top servant.
Because of this, Gold contacted Danic, hoping to capture Altria with the help of several servants. It would be great if he could use her for his own benefit, but he couldn't take this opportunity to get rid of her in one fell swoop.
There was no way Danic would refuse such a smart proposal, so he gathered people as quickly as possible to support Siegfried.
Unfortunately, the Black Lancer's master was in the support team. As soon as we set out, the other side received the news.
Knowing that she couldn't fight any longer, Artoria immediately released her maximum power of magic to force Siegfried away, and then whispered, "Don Starion."
A loud neigh accompanied by a sound that shook the earth appeared in the field of vision—it was a white warhorse, wearing a vest of the same silver.
The warhorse was moving very fast, and before one could see its features clearly, it had already arrived in front of Artoria.
The warhorse was very smart. It chose its galloping route carefully and passed in front of Gold on purpose, scaring the latter so much that his face turned pale and forcing Siegfried to protect his master. Although the warhorse was not a treasure, it was not something Gold could resist.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Artoria flipped over and jumped onto the horse's back.
"It will be hard to tell who will win if we continue fighting, so let's stop here. Black Saber, through your sword, I can feel that you are an excellent and upright knight - but why would you allow your lord to do something that violates the knight's creed without admonishing him? Are you worthy of your own knight's oath?"
Hearing the female knight's harsh question, Siegfried moved his lips but ultimately said nothing.
Altria snorted in slight disappointment.
"I hope that next time I see you, you and your Master will have changed. If all the black people are like this, I would rather go on alone!"
After saying this, the white horse's hooves flew, carrying its master away into the night, leaving behind only Siegfried who silently put away his sword and Gold who was covered in dust.
PS1: Reposition: Level A
The ability to leave the battlefield during battle or reset the situation. It returns the conditions of skills to the initial values and forcibly removes several Bad Status.
PS2: Dai Mao's sword skills are really not ranked. Usually, he relies on attributes, intuition and the advantage of invisible sword to kill people. Without these, he may not be able to beat a brush in a pure competition of skills, let alone a brush with a gun.
PS3: Dai Mao: I have not been idle for the past 1,500 years. Let’s try those who are who.
PS4: Even with the dragon-slaying bonus, Sieg was beaten to death by Xiao Mo. He is really useless.
PS5: There is a mistake in the research. Although there is a saying that King Arthur was active in the 6th century AD, it seems that the most widely circulated version is that King Arthur died in 452 AD, so it should be 1500 instead of 1400. The previous article has been corrected.
