With this snap of the fingers, the magic power of the entire sky garden gathered at the top of the high tower in the center of the garden.
The extraordinary purple light that had once knocked Siegfried away and forced Vlad III to defend with all his might was lit up again, and in the next second it roared out like a torrent that was no less powerful than the iron pillar that reached the sky.
This torrent instantly engulfed Spartacus' body, and the high temperature contained in it caused the berserker's body to begin to melt - skin, fat, muscles, blood vessels, blood, nerves, bones, internal organs... It was as if this method was intended to completely evaporate the human bomb approaching the aerial garden.
Spartacus, who was hit directly, made no sound for the first time - not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't, because his vocal cords had been completely destroyed by the heat.
However, the magic cannon's effect was more than that. In addition to the high temperature and heat, the magic cannon itself also contained a huge physical impact. Under the effect of this impact, in the blink of an eye, the upward momentum brought by the Hippogriff was curbed.
No matter how Astolfo squeezed out magic power, no matter how the Hippogriff flapped its wings, it could not reverse the tremendous pressure brought by the magic cannon. It could only watch helplessly as the ascent speed became slower and slower until it stopped completely, and then slid down from the highest point little by little.
This is why Semiramis was so calm. A Hippogriff at full speed is difficult to catch, but the Hippogriff that was bearing down on Spartacus was just a simple moving target, and there was no need for complicated spells, only to fire back with maximum output.
Astolfo, who had already begun to fall, was spinning in circles, muttering: "Ah, ah, what should I do, what should I do, assassin..."
Shinji was not panicked, he bit his lip tightly and made a decision: "No problem, just hold on as long as you can, and I will take care of the rest."
"But how exactly—?"
"You'll find out soon enough."
After saying that, Shinji severed the connection with Astolfo, kicked off the ground with his feet, and flew into the air.
"Master, I have a request?"
"Request? What request?"
Shinji's master is naturally Fiore, who is staring at the magic projection in front of her, paying attention to Shinji's every move. With her are all the masters of the Thousand World Tree Clan, led by Danic.
"Wait for my message. Once I send you a message, use the Command Spell to pull me back to your side. Move quickly, the faster the better. If you are late, I will probably be left with nothing but slag."
"Huh? Why?"
"There's no time to explain, so we have to hurry. Oh, and be prepared for impact."
"Impact?"
Just as Fiore was about to ask, Shinji had already disconnected the telepathy.
Coles on the side asked: "What's wrong, sister?"
"Assassin said to prepare for impact."
"Shock, where does the shock come from?"
"I think it has something to do with what they do."
Danic was experienced after all, and had seen something. With a flick of his cane, he activated the defense spell of the entire castle. Although he didn't know how much effect the defense system constructed by modern magic could have on the servants, it was better to have it than not.
Fiore, Colles, Serenike and Roger also helped.
At this moment, Gold suddenly pointed to one of the magic projections.
"Hey, look."
The originally clear screen was suddenly invaded by a hazy light.
In the center of the light was white, something whiter than the light itself.
It was a creature that had long since become extinct in the modern world. It was an even more ancient existence than Astolfo's Hippogriff, a fantasy species from the age of mythology.
"Is that Pegasus?"
Fiore couldn't help but widen her eyes and stared blankly at the pure white mythical beast that Shinji was riding on.
"Yeah." Danic was also slightly moved, "And it doesn't look like an ordinary Pegasus."
"Speaking of beings related to Pegasus, there are only a few that come to mind." Coles held his chin with his hand and said meaningfully.
The image of Pegasus, a pure white horse with wings on its ribs, appears in Greek mythology. There is only one Pegasus that is clearly recorded, and his name is Pegasus.
There are five mythological figures associated with it:
Medusa-Belkathus was born from Medusa's blood.
Perseus—killed Medusa and rode away on Pegasus (just one saying, some say Pegasus flew away directly).
The goddess of literature, Becas, later landed on Mount Helicon (also known as Mount Helidash;) - a mountain belonging to the goddess of literature, the Muses, and created the Hippocrene Fountain there, which later became a source of inspiration for poets. There is also a version that Becas became the mount of the Muses.
Athena, the goddess of war - tamed Bekasas.
Bellerophon - Athena gave Pegasus to Bellerophon, who traveled on it. He rode Pegasus and fought against a terrible fire-breathing monster called Chimera, which he successfully killed. Eventually, Bellerophon became very arrogant and wanted to ride Pegasus over Mount Olympus to join the gods. Zeus sent a gadfly to sting Pegasus, causing Bellerophon to fall from his horse and die.
Finally, Zeus turned Becas into the constellation Pegasus and placed it in the sky.
Two gods are obviously impossible. The Holy Grail system in Fuyuki City cannot summon gods. Medusa is a gorgon, which is also impossible. The only ones left are Bellerophon and Perseus. Combined with the holy relic used by Fiore, the answer is obvious.
"What a liar!!! What about the assassin whose name I forgot, what about it can't be Perseus, it's all lies."
Fiore suddenly became furious and gritted her teeth.
"When you come back, I will make sure you look good!!!"
Shinji didn't know about the Master's anger, but even if he knew, he would just laugh it off.
This plan cannot afford to fail, so all available forces must be used. Pegasus is the last insurance, used to deal with possible unexpected situations, such as Semiramis's magic interference, Astolfo accidentally being beaten by Spartacus, the Hippogriff being unable to support Spartacus' weight independently, and Semiramis using magic to intercept.
Compared with this crucial move, the misunderstanding of the Master and even the entire Black side is not worth mentioning.
The Pegasus, which was comparable to a dragon, flapped its white wings and rushed into the sky while releasing powerful magic power. The mighty momentum was no less than that of the magic cannon fired by Semiramis with all her strength.
In the clear light that spread everywhere, Shinji pulled the reins and loudly released the true name of the most powerful Noble Phantasm:
"Bellerophon!!!"
Then, a comet hit the moon!
