The Red Assassin's castle treasure, the "Vanity Sky Garden". Although they were in the battlefield, only this fortress was shrouded in silence and peace.
The Red Lancer Karna landed steadily in the center of the courtyard, put away the "Immortal Blade", and walked into the King's Hall. His pace was neither hurried nor slow, just like usual, and there was no sign of injury at all.
"Welcome back, Lancer. And sorry for interrupting your fight with Vlad III."
Father Shirou, who was standing beside the throne, nodded to him. It was he who had just given Karna the order to return to the Sky Garden as quickly as possible.
"It doesn't matter." Karna shook his head slightly, "If I continue to stay there, my life will be in danger."
Although he didn't know beforehand that Spartacus would turn into a monster, this didn't affect his judgment. Jeanne could see that Spartacus had reached his limit and could explode at any time, and Karna was no exception.
It is not difficult to judge from the effect of "Roar of the Beast" that was made public in advance that Spartacus's final blow will convert all magic power into physical shock waves, thus causing unprecedented destructive blows.
As Jeanne commented, Spartacus had surpassed the limitations of a Servant and reached a whole new level. If he stayed in the center of the explosion, even if Karna's golden armor could reduce nine-tenths of the damage, the remaining one-tenth would be enough to kill Karna.
Karna is brave, determined, and unafraid of strong enemies, but that doesn't mean he would be foolish enough to let a berserker who could explode at any time take his place as a scapegoat.
Shirou was not surprised to hear him say this, he just smiled and said, "It's best if you can see it."
"What about the others?"
"They are still fighting. Since they are far away from here, we didn't call them back."
Shirou said, pointing to the various projections spread out in the center of the King's Room.
The red rider Achilles and the black archer Chiron were fighting fiercely, using fists, feet, bows and arrows, javelins, shields and even heads. It was a completely crazy fight.
The Red Archer Atalanta moved her legs at an exaggerated speed and rushed in the direction of Achilles.
The Red Saber Mordred was the most exhausted, as her enemy was the extremely powerful Altria. Fortunately, she was not fighting alone, as she had the support of her Master, the Lion Jiejieli.
In this world, the Holy Grail War is rampant, and almost all Masters are used to hiding in safe places and leaving the battle to the Servants. However, Lion Jie did not do so. Knowing that he would most likely fight against Altria, and knowing the huge gap between Mordred and Altria, he made preparations in advance.
He scattered more than a dozen Owl Eyes around the battlefield, using vision-sharing magic to observe the battlefield from multiple angles at any time. At the same time, he also established a visual connection with Mordred to provide Mordred with first-hand visual information when needed.
In this way, no matter what Altria was doing or how she moved, Mordred could see it clearly.
Because the structure of the owl's eye is different from that of the human eye, many things that the human eye cannot adapt to are not obstacles for the owl's eye. Because of this, the lion Jiejieli can use his old tricks again and use his necromancy to interfere with Altria in various ways.
With the existence of anti-magic, magic that directly acts on the servants themselves will definitely not work, but if direct interference doesn't work, you can still interfere indirectly, such as using magic to lift a stone and smash it, like what Lion Jie has been doing - creating poisonous fog on a large scale.
The toxicity of the poisonous fog was not what Lion Jie wanted, he just wanted to interfere with Altria's vision. Before the war, Lion Jie specifically asked Mordred about the weakness of his "intuition", and Mordred gave this answer - although intuition can sense danger, it is after all an intuition of crisis, not real sight, so it is often impossible to make accurate judgments.
For example, someone attacks Mordred from behind. Mordred senses danger in advance and can even sense where the enemy's weapon is aimed, but he cannot tell what weapon the enemy is using. It could be a sword, a gun, or a dagger. In other words, although "intuition" is very useful, it cannot replace all senses. Weakening the senses is also effective for people with "intuition".
For a normal warrior, the most important sense is undoubtedly vision. Lion Jie released the poisonous mist just to weaken Altria's vision.
Altria didn't care about the conventional fog. With "Magic Release" and "Wind King Barrier", the fog could be easily blown away. However, this time was different. This was a battlefield, a paradise for necromancers. There were corpses everywhere, and they were not ordinary corpses.
Combining the technologies of Gold and Einzbern, the combat androids all have first-class magic circuits, which are the best magic materials for necromancers. No magic power is needed, just put a spell in, and the high-quality magic circuits of the corpse will automatically change, giving rise to ugly and smelly poisonous gas.
At first, Artoria managed to blow it away several times. But later, all the corpses nearby became poisonous fog generating devices, and no matter how hard Artoria tried, she couldn't clear it all at once, and could only fight under this extremely restricted vision.
On the other hand, Mordred is much less affected because of the shared vision of the Owl Eye.
In addition to the poisonous fog, Lion Jie also did a lot of work.
For example, when Artoria walks to the side of a corpse, he can activate the "Corpse Explosion Technique", blowing up Artoria's head and face and disrupting her balance.
Another example is firing a few shots when nothing happened. This time, the rifle used by Lion Jie was not a shortened double-barreled shotgun that was transformed into a magic gift, but a real rifle equipped with night vision equipment. The bullets were not the kind of finger bullets that could be crushed at will, but armor-piercing bullets. Although it was not enchanted and had no mystery, and could not cause damage to the servant, he never thought of causing damage from the beginning to the end. His purpose was always to interfere.
As one side gained strength while the other lost strength, the battle gradually changed from being one-sided at the beginning to occasional counterattacks, and then to a back-and-forth battle. By the time Artoria realized something was wrong and wanted to deal with Lion Jie first, Lion Jie had already run out of Artoria's perception area.
Shishi Jiejie uses practical actions to tell all the participants that the Holy Grail War is not only a stage for Servants, but also a stage for Masters. In the Holy Grail War, Masters can do more than just give orders, protect themselves, heal Servants, and use Command Spells. They can also provide more comprehensive assistance to Servants.
PS: Shishi Jie can be said to be a rough version of Kiritsugu, without so many conspiracies and intrigues, but his tactics are just as sharp and his style is not particular. In fact, according to the theory of mysterious defense breaking, it is not impossible for a well-prepared Master to kill a Servant. After all, no matter how fast a Servant's reaction speed is, it may not be faster than the increasingly terrifying modern weapons. As long as the weapon is enchanted, it is not difficult to kill a Servant. This is obviously the trend in the United States in "Fate strange fake". I hope to see scenes of weapons combining magic and technology against Servants in subsequent works.
PS2: The Golden Armor has only two weaknesses. One is that it cannot prevent explosion, and the other is that it is fixedly reduced to one tenth. Even if I stab you with ten times the force, you will still die.
PS3: I recommend a friend's book "Super God Dimension". I won't post the introduction, as it doesn't mean much. The author is important. The author Su Yong is a veteran author in the ACG area. He already has a completed novel "Elf Century Go" with nearly two million views. It is the best-selling novel among .asxs.Pokemon fans. He is regarded as an idol by many Pokemon fans. Whether it is the conception, writing skills or integrity, it is guaranteed. Please rest assured.
