Here, Achilles cleared away his confusion and was full of fighting spirit, but Joan of Arc was in a state of speechless astonishment because of the monster in front of her.
The monster was as big as a small hill. When Joan of Arc first saw it, she thought it was a pile of corpses.
What is even more shocking is the full view of this mountain of flesh when you get closer.
He has eight arms in total, three of which have no joints. They look like an octopus, and once they swing, they should be able to smash the enemy to pieces like a whip.
The legs were as thick as old tree trunks, and they had countless legs like insects. It was probably because it couldn't support its huge body with just two legs, so it used this method to share the weight.
The head was almost completely sunken into the neck, while at the shoulder there were protruding objects that looked like the upper and lower jaws of a dinosaur.
If it wasn't for the "True Name Seer" skill telling Jeanne that this was the Red Berserker Spartacus, she would have thought it was a monster summoned by a caster somewhere.
"Ooo ...
The monster opened its jaws in an exaggerated manner and let out a deafening roar. This was both a mad vent and a roar of pain.
In order to lure Spartacus away, Red Archer Atalanta once again used the treasure "Arrow Book of Complaint". This treasure has two attack methods. One is to kick off the battle and scatter a large area covering the black vanguard. The other is to deal with a single target - compressing the area to the limit and focusing the arrows on one point.
Although the killing power of a single light arrow is still insufficient, the killing power of thousands of light arrows in a very small range is still considerable. Only those who have immortal bodies like Karna, Siegfried, and Achilles, or have extremely powerful defensive treasures such as "The Small World Surrounding the Sky" and "The Ideal City That Is Still Far Away", can escape from this attack unscathed. Others will be seriously injured if they don't die.
Spartacus had neither immortality nor defensive treasures, so he naturally suffered great damage, and his body, which had just recovered, was destroyed into pieces again.
This damage finally diverted Spartacus' attention from the aerial garden, and allowed the normally activated treasure "Roar of the Beast" to once again demonstrate its power. Driven by the strong desire to fight, the terrifying recovery ability that exceeded the threshold made the body that had already begun to change into a monster.
I'm alive!
I can't die!
I want to fight!
I will defeat all oppressors!
If four arms aren't enough, then eight.
If you can't carry your body weight, add more legs.
If two eyes can't find the enemy, then grow eyes everywhere in the body.
The more hurt and suffering he suffers, the closer he will be to victory - even in a crazy state of killing, Spartacus still holds such belief.
"There!!!"
The five eyeballs located on his shoulders, neck and abdomen all stared at the direction of the attack at the same time. His multiple legs, like a centipede, squirmed madly, moving towards the culprit while bombarding the earth. His exaggerated power reminded people of prehistoric behemoths that only existed in myths and legends.
At this time, Spartacus' mind had lost the ability to think like a human, and he was simply pursuing the target that posed the greatest threat to him and caused the greatest harm to him.
Atalanta, who was sane and well-versed in wild beasts, naturally would not fight against such a monster that had lost its mind and was extremely powerful. She immediately ran at full speed, shooting arrows at the monster while running to continue to attract its attention, and soon met Joan of Arc who was galloping on her horse.
"Hmm? The Ru over there, is that Ruler?"
Atalanta's voice was as refreshing as a cool breeze, and her lithe movements were reminiscent of leaves swaying in the wind.
However, this scene, which should have been a pleasant one, made Joan of Arc feel a sudden chill.
"—Red Archer?"
Considering that she had been attacked by Laer (probably), a Red Servant before, she pulled the reins and became alert.
"You're on guard against me, that's fine."
Atalanta murmured softly upon seeing this, then raised her voice again.
"I'm so sorry, I'll leave it to you from now on."
"Leave it to me? Wait—"
Without giving Joan of Arc time to think, the girl in emerald green turned her body in the air and passed by Joan of Arc like a gust of wind. The big bow in her hand, which was completely incompatible with her petite figure, was pulled open at the moment of passing by, and a powerful shot was fired at the monster in the distance.
Before Joan of Arc finished her words, the girl had already sped away. She was a hero known for her swift running, and her running speed was far beyond that of Spartacus, who had transformed into an arthropod, or Don Starion, who was a white horse.
At this moment, Spartacus, who was shot by an arrow again, only had Joan of Arc in his eyes. This existence was above the red and black sides in this Holy Grail War, and the highest authority in another sense. She was exactly the one he had to defeat.
"Are you the one who is hindering me?"
Feeling Spartacus's undisguised murderous intent and desire to attack, Joan of Arc finally reacted.
"It was calculated."
She silently raised her head and glanced upwards. The outline of the sky garden was already clearly visible. Even in the dark, she could still make out the vegetation and lakes.
We are very close to our goal, what should we do
Spartacus has already set his sights on her. In this flat terrain, it is very difficult to escape by her own strength, at least not in a short period of time. Now Spartacus's movement speed is not worse than that of Don Starlion or herself.
And his goal is not to fight with the red and black servants, but to reach the sky garden and meet the "person" in the "revelation".
Should we activate the "privilege"
No. Spartacus is no longer controlled by the Command Seal. He will not stop unless he is ordered to die by two strokes of the Command Seal. But Ruler destroying his followers is basically something that cannot be allowed to happen.
In other words, we can only delay time and wait and see.
Having made up her mind, Joan of Arc gently patted Don Starlion on the back, signaling it to transform into a spirit and disappear. She then stretched her stiff shoulders and raised the flag to fight.
Two huge whip arms suddenly attacked her, and Joan of Arc waved the holy flag to block and push them away.
Two arms that were thicker than her legs combined struck down like heavy hammers, but Joan of Arc still managed to block them.
But there is another arm lurking behind!
"Gu, wu!!"
Her body was hit directly, and she flew away, rolling on the ground for several circles. Fortunately, the Dragon Tooth soldiers who were ordered to kill her and kept gathering around her became cushions to reduce the impact for her.
As the price of resisting the impact, three dragon fang soldiers were smashed in succession, otherwise she would have been knocked to the edge of the battlefield. That was a move that could only be made possible with incredibly strong strength and constantly accumulated magic power.
No, that just now... can it really be considered a move
Jeanne stood up again and wiped the blood off her lips. The backup of the body she possessed, Ladysia, had been kept. When Jeanne achieved her goal or was knocked down halfway, Ladysia's body would instantly return to its original form and be forcibly moved to a safe place according to the situation. No matter what kind of injuries she received during this process, she would be regenerated immediately.
Therefore, it can be said that no matter how much damage Jeanne suffers, it will be fine... But if she was hit by the blow just now while being completely unprepared, she would probably be close to death.
Just then, she heard a voice.
"Hey, my lovely student, you seem to be in trouble, do you need the teacher's help?"
PS: Please imagine Shinji's last sentence by yourself, the most mean one - if you can't imagine it, you can go to Bilibili and find an up-loader named Rushsong. He has a video complaining about "Red Dragon Battle", and the line "Ah, boy~" is so mean that it can't be described.
PS2: This part has problems in both the original and the animation. In the original, Tamio was flying a kite when she happened to meet Jeanne, and then Amakusa ordered Tamio to retreat, which is a bit inconsistent. In order to avoid interfering with the battle, Jeanne usually does not approach the fighting servants. A1 has been changed very well here, Amakusa deliberately induced, just to trap Jeanne. However, the dialogue setting is problematic. With Karna's tone, it is impossible for him to tell others that he is going to kill Jeanne. Tamio came up and said "Don't worry, I won't harm you". Damn, is this the dialogue template for a general servant meeting a judge? Who will kill whom if they really fight? Don't forget that Jeanne still has the Command Spell, which is useless.
PS3: Let me digress a little. As you all know, I've been in a bad state recently. But today, I was in a very bad state. I sat in front of the computer for 4 hours this morning, but I didn't write a single word. Why? Because the final chapter of Trails of Cold Steel III was a reversal, which made me confused and in a wandering state. What a fuXK, I waited for three years, and this is what I got? Very good, very powerful. After playing Trails for so many years, I felt that I could do it. Very good, very powerful - if you have the ability, you can play the second round and get a hidden ending or a true ending DLC, otherwise I, a Trails fan in China, will probably quit.
Ah, I'm so confused and have no mood to write. I hope I can write something in the afternoon, otherwise I will have to stop updating because of some activities during the National Day. It's so frustrating.
