Although Spartacus's self-detonation is comparable to a small-yield nuclear bomb, this refers to the destructive power and range of the shock wave released during the explosion, and does not include the subsequent nuclear radiation. In fact, nuclear radiation is the most terrifying part of a nuclear bomb. However, Spartacus's magic does not have this property, and it dissipates after the explosion.
It comes quickly and goes quickly, it is clean and pollution-free, green and environmentally friendly, and is the first choice of conscientious military commanders - Spartacus brand Burning King Bomb, you deserve it... Ahem, sorry, I've gone off topic.
In short, this wave of self-destruction lasted only a moment, and the Hippogriff's "dimensional jump" also lasted only a moment. As soon as the shock wave passed, the existence of the two people and the Hippogriff became clear again - a few hundred meters away, and in the place engulfed by the shock wave, there were still afterimages of the Hippogriff and the two riders. This is what the so-called illusory existence is like.
The moment his existence was restored, Astolfo turned around, hugged Sieg, and laughed: "How about it, my partner is amazing, isn't he?"
"Yeah, it's really powerful." Sieg said blankly, still in shock, "But it doesn't look very good."
As if responding to Sieg's words, the Hippogriff let out a weak cry, its two front paws softened, and it fell to the ground. After a collision, it was injured by the magic cannon and the aftermath of the Pegasus, and it was still trying hard to launch a "dimensional jump". Even the phantom horse, who inherited the blood of the griffin, was a little overwhelmed.
Astolfo patted his partner on the back and said softly, "Thank you, partner. You can take a rest first."
The next second, Hippogriff transformed into spirit particles and disappeared, leaving only the Servant and the android embracing each other.
The android asked, "What should we do next?"
The Servant replied, "Didn't you say you wanted to save your companions? Let's go together. There should be many others like you in the castle."
"Is this really okay?"
"It's not a bad thing, right? I've completed the mission Assassin gave me, which means I can act freely now. No one would blame me for not helping someone in need, but now that you're back, I should be prepared."
"No... No matter how you think about it, there's no way the other Servants would agree to this situation, right?"
"What? Is that it? We can think about that later! Come on, let's go!"
Astolfo pulled Sieg's hand tightly and walked towards the city of Mirenia, not realizing that this scene was seen by Serenike and other masters of the Thousand World Tree clan.
"Damn it, damn it, damn rider, damn android."
Serenika bit her fingers hard. It was this android again. Without him, Rider wouldn't have... It seemed that it was time to make a decision. Two strokes of the Command Seals would be just right.
"Danik, I..."
She had just said a few words when she was interrupted by the excited Roger.
"Ah, that's the android, the core that the teacher wants. Serenique, Serenique, hurry up and have Rider bring him back. With this, the teacher's treasure can be activated."
"This..." Serenikae hesitated a little. Roger's approach was slightly different from what she had expected. Such punishment was not enough for Rider and the android.
"Serenekai, do as you are told. Use the Command Spells if necessary."
Danic glanced at the android in the projection calmly. In the Thousand World Tree Clan, his words were orders.
"Oh, this is troublesome."
A barely perceptible wry smile appeared on Shinji's lips.
This guy Sieg is so bold that he dares to come back without any external protection
Is the inertia of the plot really that powerful
Does it mean that just because you were given the name Sieg, you were given Siegfried's courage
If I call you Sparta, will you immediately pick up a knife and chop these oppressors to pieces
The problem is that you are not strong enough. Anyone here can beat you. Why can't you accept it
Well, there's no point saying anything now. We can only act according to circumstances. If we can help, we will help. If we can't help, we can't let Astolfo hold us back.
The success or failure of the Holy Grail War depends on today, and there must be no mistakes - the ominous premonition from before may have been caused by Astolfo.
With his rationality evaporated, it's not surprising that he did anything. If he released all the artificial human batteries in the culture tanks in a fit of rage, the advantage that the black side had worked so hard to gain would be lost, and the combat effectiveness based on the treasure would also be weakened.
Just as Shinji was silently calculating, just as Danic and Roger were urging Serenikae, just as Serenikae was making her final struggle, a huge roar accompanied by a violent shaking invaded the king's room where everyone was.
No, not only the Royal Court, but the entire city of Mirenia was shaking. The defensive spell that had once withstood the aftermath of the explosion seemed to have no effect.
This is understandable, because the focus of the barrier protection is mystery, and this time it is a pure physical attack - a mass strike, which is to directly bombard the castle with heavy objects.
Where do heavy objects come from
From the sky, from the garden in the sky.
Being subjected to Spartacus's self-destruction at a relatively close distance, even with the EX-level anti-world Noble Phantasm "Hanging Garden of Vanity", even if Semiramis tried her best to defend, it would not be possible to remain intact.
The core palace area was fine, with only a slight shake, but the periphery of the garden was not so lucky.
The green space created by various vegetation from the Age of Gods was uprooted in large areas and burned by the high temperature caused by the explosion. The rare birds and animals living in the courtyard that had been extinct for hundreds or thousands of years died on the spot, and some of them were even killed without a trace left.
The worst place was the head of the aerial fortress, where the "Dragon Wing Soldiers" nested. This place was closest to Spartacus in a straight line, and was the first to be hit. Then Semiramis used magic to concentrate most of the shock waves of the explosion here, and finally it became riddled with holes and gradually separated from the main body.
Her own palace, where she had chanted for three days, was badly damaged in the first battle. How could Semiramis feel good about it? If it weren't for the fact that maintaining the stability of the garden and repairing other places took up a lot of her magic power and energy, she would have already opened fire and bombarded the city of Mirenia.
With no way to vent her anger, her whole body exuded a chill that almost froze the air. Even Shakespeare, who loved to gossip, shut up.
The only one who dared to speak at this time was her master Shirou:
"You want to vent your anger on the city of Mirenia, don't you? I have an idea. The bow part can't be used anyway, so why not recycle it? A huge rock like this should be enough to smash a hole in the castle's outer wall."
Upon hearing this, Semiramis finally smiled, cold and charming, like a red spider lily blooming on the other side of hell.
A few seconds later, a meteorite fell from the sky, and the city walls that had stood for hundreds of years collapsed.
PS: I will probably need to take a leave tomorrow. I will be away for a few days for the National Day holiday. I have already sent out all the articles I can. There are also various things happening at the company tomorrow, so it is basically impossible for me to write. In short, please forgive me. After all, it is near the end of the year, and there are more and more activities. During the Chinese New Year, it will not be as stable as in the first half of the year. I will let you know in advance.
