Although Semiramis's condition was a little off, the counter-attack technique she opened was truly a top-notch magic.
"The Black Coffin of Ten and One (TiamtumUmu)" - a huge black coffin modeled after the eleven beasts born from the legendary monster Tiamat. It is a great magecraft that can repel external enemies with Super A-rank light bullets. It is her greatest masterpiece.
"Destroy, ugly stupid bird!"
Amid Semiramis's sharp words, eleven black cubes over 20 meters long simultaneously released terrifying magic blocks.
No, that can no longer be described as a magic block, it is simply a meteorite, each shot contains the power to destroy an army and break a city.
Under such a horrific attack, the army of flying puppets created by Avisbronn was completely vulnerable, and most of them were destroyed in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, the location of the sky courtyard is on the sea, which avoids the secondary damage of the magic torrent and puppet fragments.
"Oh, what a shame. I worked so hard to make this."
At the end of the puppet army, Roger stood at the end of a large bronze bird and complained unhappily. Shinji, who stood next to him, had a calm expression.
"You were originally cannon fodder to be used as a weapon, so it's good enough that you've made it this far. Next - prepare to land, caster, and listen to my instructions when to use that."
"good."
Avisbronn responded calmly and began to move forward by controlling the puppet.
Shinji grabbed Roger and climbed onto another nearby puppet with him.
"Once we reach the garden, you will take the remaining puppets and leave. Do not come back until you see the garden destroyed."
"I know. You don't need to say more. Go away. I don't want to see you."
Because of Shinji's behavior of forcing Avisbronn, Roger has never given him a good face.
"I would go without you telling me."
Shinji didn't care. He spread out his Hades cloak and disappeared into the night.
As long as Avisbron followed his instructions, he didn't care how Roger scolded him. As for what would happen to the two of them in the future? Would Roger be killed by his beloved teacher like in the original world line? He didn't care at all.
The "Black Coffin of Ten and One (TiamtumUmu)" once again erupted with terrifying magical fluctuations, and it seemed that it was planning to use this method to wipe out all the enemies in the air.
Achilles, who was lurking among the puppets, snorted in dissatisfaction.
"Phew, this is quite tricky. Was it that woman's fault? I'm counting on you, Black Rider. Don't embarrass us riders."
"Oh, leave it to me!" Astolfo raised his head and chest and answered loudly, "Okay, let's go! Master!"
The phantom eagle let out a high-pitched cry that was no less loud than the sound of the wind. It crushed the bronze shell on the puppet's back with its iron hooves and sharp claws, and flew high into the sky with a running start.
"Charlemagne's Twelve Warriors, Astolfo, come to fight!"
The sound resounded through the night sky, and although no horn was used, and although it was only for a brief moment, everyone present was aware of his presence.
Riding on the Hippogriff, a mythical beast born from the union of a griffin and a mare that should not have existed, he flew high, high, fast, fast at an altitude of 7,500 meters in the violent gale, and together with his master who shared his fate, he launched a fierce attack on the enemy castle, the "Sky Garden of Vanity" with a brave momentum!
Of course, Semiramis would never easily allow foreign invasion.
"Foolish fellow. Last time you were out of range and managed to survive. This time, I will make sure that nothing remains of you. You should regret it before your skull is blown off, together with your Master!"
The black coffin changed direction and locked onto the "black" Rider.
Amidst the high-pitched laughter, the light bullets were fired, and that was the end, but—
"This is - Master is right."
◇◇◇
The magic blocks that filled his vision were so dense, and the power contained in them was so terrifying that Astolfo's body trembled constantly.
But even so, the pink knight did not retreat, nor did he fall.
The Master hugged him tightly from behind, and there was no need for words. The trust between the two had already surpassed words.
Regardless of whether his rationality evaporates or not, regardless of whether he is strong or weak, in Sieg's heart, he is a brave knight, a hero who saves him. As long as he is there, the two of them can survive any terrible Shura field.
"Come, come, the time has come! My heart trembles with fear in the moonless night, but I will never retreat! Liberation - 'Casa Di Logistilla';!"
The pages of the book that was taken out began to spread out and flutter in the strong wind.
The light bullet approached at the speed of sound, but Astolfo completely ignored it and continued to rush forward. The magic power block that could break through the A-rank anti-magic power—this time it did not cause any damage to Rider.
With the sound of steel breaking, the light bullet was shot away. Of course, there was not just one light bullet, but countless light bullets were attacking the pink knight like a meteor shower.
However, under the effect of the magic book that released his real name - "Declaration of Destruction", all magic could only shatter and disappear meaninglessly.
"Ahahahaha! It feels so good~! Master, hold on tight! I'm going to increase my speed a little bit!"
"Okay, I got it!"
The android Sieg, who was the Master, also responded with a voice that was no less loud than Rider's. Then, light bullets continued to hit the pages of the book surrounding them, and then shattered and scattered.
"But it's really amazing!"
After hearing what Sieg said, Astolfo shouted:
"You said it was amazing, is it this book!?"
"No, the powerful one should be Rider!"
Since he was entrusted with this book, it meant that he had gained the trust of Queen Rosetira. Not long ago, he bravely flew across the sky without even remembering his real name.
"Hey, it's too early to be surprised now! Come on, we're the first!"
Astolfo gently patted the neck of the galloping Hippogriff and began to accelerate further. The number of light bullets continued to increase, and among the eleven black coffins that served as defense agencies, six of them locked onto the "black" Rider as their target.
"Ejaculate at the same time? Come on, just give it a try!"
It was simply a waterfall of light, a sheer and overwhelming force of numbers, but it was unable to crush its target.
The eagle did not stop, but kept moving forward without distraction.
"The target is that huge black turret! Assassin and Ruler can reach the garden if they take it down! Charge—wooooooooo!"
"Rider, be careful!"
Just as the master and the servant were increasing their magic power at the same time, preparing to close the distance in one breath, a ball of fire exploded almost close to their faces, and a pitch-black arrow passed over their heads. The fierce wind pressure even brought out a streak of blood.
"What is this!!!"
"Sneak attack!!!"
Astolfo, whose momentum was interrupted, was frantically making roundabout maneuvers while looking for the attacker.
Soon, under the light bullets from the black coffin, he saw two black figures, one holding a bow and arrow, each arrow posed a fatal threat to Astolfo. The other had his hands empty, and the magic power in his hands kept changing, evolving into various magic tricks.
In terms of level, these magics are much lower than the light bullets fired by the Black Coffin, and it is impossible for them to break through the defense of the "Breaking Declaration", but the physical effects produced by the combination of magics do hinder the progress of the Hippogriff, providing more opportunities for teammates to shoot.
"How terrible! How terrible!" Astolfo cried anxiously. "How can I get close to the battery with them here?"
"How about using the one we used to dodge the explosion?" Sieg suggested.
"No, no, in that state, the enemy can't hit us, and we can't hit the enemy either, and it will consume a huge amount of magic power. What should we do? This is not in the battle plan at all!!!"
At this moment, a person's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Just keep going!"
"Is that voice, Chiron?"
"You just need to destroy the turrets, and we will take care of the arrows - I'm betting on Archer's reputation!!!"
As the words came, two arrows flew through the air, one emerald green and the other brown.
The great sage Chiron and the legendary huntress Atalanta, two archers whose archery skills have reached the divine realm, attacked at the same time.
PS: Although I have never had the habit of shopping on Double Eleven and I am still a single dog, I almost missed the update today because there was a power outage at home. I got up in the morning, had breakfast, and then the power went out for no reason, and I didn't even have time to upload the update. I thought about it, and it happened that I had to go to a friend's house to do something recently, so I simply went out and borrowed my friend's computer to upload it. I felt that my integrity was really great.
