"Go to hell, you evil woman!!!"
Mordred mercilessly swung her royal sword at Semiramis, using all her strength in this blow, which was truly an inhuman blow.
However, Semiramis is, after all, the Queen of Poison who is proficient in magic and fights in a way that goes beyond human common sense.
Although she was in shock, she still instinctively activated the innate ability inherited from her mother Dilikit, and the divine fish scale armor of the same color as her evening dress opened up along the path that the king's sword must pass.
Faced with the sharpness of the king sword that exceeded human limits, even the scales of the divine fish could not withstand it and were split in two, but this also bought Semiramis extremely precious time.
In the end, the royal sword, which was dyed bright red, failed to cut the empress in half. Due to the space transfer implemented at the critical moment, the evil sword only slightly scratched her shoulder.
"Hmph, just like mother, he is an excellent escape artist."
Mordred dropped the king's sword in his hand with regret, and once again confirmed the similarities between Semiramis and Morgan - neither of them had the self-esteem of a hero. Once they were in an unfavorable situation, they didn't care even if they had to turn around and run away in embarrassment, because they cared about their lives more than anyone else.
"Oh, sorry, I screwed up. It's rare that my father and ruler are willing to cooperate with me in playing a trick on me. I'm afraid I won't have such a good opportunity in the future."
That’s right, this is a self-torture tactic.
From the poisoning of the three to the sudden attack at the end, everything was planned in order to kill the owner of the garden, the leader of the hateful enemy. "The Vain Sky Garden" is the foundation of Shirou's side. Without it, victory will be easy.
Semiramis was the kind of vicious woman who enjoyed playing with her enemies and watching them suffer. As long as the bait was large enough, she was likely to show up in person.
Therefore, when Semiramis tried to stop Joan of Arc, she was already considering implementing this plan.
Jeanne dared to do this, of course she had the confidence. The last time they attacked, they were almost wiped out by poison, so how could they not be prepared this time? Do you remember the antidote serum that Shinji asked Shishi Jie to make
The reward that Lion Jie received for participating in this Holy Grail War was a specimen of a Hydra larva. The remaining toxins in the larva could be used to make an antidote serum.
Of course, this serum can only remove the poison of Hydra, and is not applicable to the poison of Basium. This is also the limit of what Lion Jie can do - after all, he is a necromancer, and his expertise is not in poison and detoxification.
But he can't do that. As the teacher of the god of medicine, Chiron's medical skills have long surpassed the mundane realm.
In three days, he conducted a thorough analysis of the Hydra hatchlings provided by Lion Robbery, and based on Hydra's highest toxicity, which was almost at the top of human history, he created an evolved version of the super serum.
The super serum can not only remove the poison of Hydra, but also remove and resist all poisons that are not more toxic than Hydra for a certain period of time. Although the poison of Bashum is powerful, it is only on the same level as Hydra in concept and falls within the resistance range of the super serum.
However, this super serum is not perfect. Its raw material is a specimen of a juvenile Hydra, or more precisely, the poison sac located in the throat of a Hydra. Using the principle of "fighting poison with poison", the super serum itself is also highly toxic. Directly ingesting it is basically equivalent to saying goodbye to this world. Therefore, you must first be poisoned and then injected with serum to neutralize it.
So at first, Jeanne, Altria, and Mordred were indeed poisoned, but at the moment of poisoning, they took in the pre-prepared super serum. Because detoxification requires a process, they did suffer great pain, which is exactly what Semiramis wanted to see.
To prevent any accidents, during the process of neutralizing the poison of Basium with the serum, the Lion Jie appeared to attract Semiramis's attention and create an opportunity for the three servants. Unfortunately, Semiramis's escape had become an instinct, and he ultimately failed.
"It's no use talking about this now, just get rid of the enemy right now."
The real proposer of the plan, Lion Jiejieli, opened his collar and looked at a certain accessory on his neck that was gradually turning darker. This was a precious gift from the Thousand World Tree Clan, and it was Danik's legacy. As long as he had it, he would not be afraid of Semiramis's poison.
◇◇◇
Lip smacking.
The empress returned to the throne and bowed her head in thought. The blood that flowed from her shoulder, which was cut by the sword, stained her clothes, but she didn't care.
"I didn't expect that they could actually remove the Bashoum poison... No, not only the Bashoum poison, but other poisons seem to have been removed as well."
The hatred for being chopped and the shame for running away were gone now. If there was anything to hate, it was only the fact that my mind had become too relaxed because I was in control of this garden. I was intoxicated by the power of this garden and was careless for a while.
"But there won't be a next time. Removing the poison doesn't mean it's ineffective, and being able to remove the poison doesn't mean you won't be poisoned. Moreover, poisoning is easy, but removing the poison takes a process. You are now in the middle of a battle. A little bit of slackness will cost you your lives. Next, I will use all my strength to eliminate you! - Enjoy it, this is the real wine of the arrogant king (Sikera Usum)!"
The space trembled, and colorful poisonous fog filled the entire king's room, and quickly spread under the influence of magic.
Soon, the entire garden was surrounded by poisonous fog.
Atalanta, who was relying on Gallop and the Berserker of Shadow to deal with the situation, suddenly stopped moving, patted a certain part of her body at the fastest speed, and injected the super serum into her body.
But during this pause, the wolf that was chasing her had already caught up with her and punched her in the back, knocking her directly into the wall.
"Woooooo."
The female hunter, who was not known for her toughness, spat out a mouthful of blood that had been stained black by the poison.
"The spine seems to be fractured... There is nothing we can do but take a gamble and see."
Having regained some strength, Atalanta pushed herself against the wall, turned around and rushed towards the enemy who was emitting a frenzy. A new spirit was brewing in her hands, which eventually condensed into a blue shield.
On the other side, Chiron's condition was even worse. In order to protect the Master behind him, he was affected by the poison and was hit by several arrows. It seemed that he had difficulty moving.
"Archer!"
Colles, who was also suffering from the torture of the poison, groaned, raised his arms with difficulty, and gathered his magic power.
"The fifth 'Black'; give the order with the Command Seal! Heal Archer!!!"
The red magic power symbolizing miracle was lit up, and new vitality was injected into the Servant's body that was injured and poisoned.
"Thank you, Master! I will definitely be victorious."
Under the effect of the Command Spell, Chiron recovered to his peak state, but he did not continue to draw the bow, because his arrow had already been shot and would definitely hit the target.
"Antares Snipe!!!"
The Black Archer Chiron released his Noble Phantasm.
