Zepia was nicknamed "Vallachian Nights" because he was the first incarnation of "Tatali" after he completed the incarnation of "Disaster".
The place of manifestation is Wallachia in Romania. It is the gathering place of the faith of Vlad III, the most famous hero in Romania, and the origin of the legend of Count Dracula, and the legend of vampires has been circulating in the local area.
This message, which had been passed down for hundreds of years and was deeply rooted, was used by Zepia to manifest the "vampire Dracula", which completely devoured a local village. When the Knights of the Church arrived, only pieces of human skin were left in the village, scattered randomly on the road.
But that was ultimately just the manifestation of the message being used, a false product. What Shinji is using now is the sublimation of faith, the crystallization of Vlad III's life, and a real treasure.
Although it is not in Romania and cannot exert its maximum power, it still has the power to kill Servants, let alone a defenseless knight
After killing the knight with one strike, Shinji continued to operate the rafters to spread outward, including all the remaining clones and their operators.
However, with the previous example, Zepia, whose computing power is comparable to that of a supercomputer, has made timely corrections. The remaining copies either flew into the air or cut off the spikes on the rafters to avoid the attack from below.
The most powerful one was undoubtedly the clone of Toono Akiha. She shook her red hair and high temperature spread throughout her body. The rafters were melted as soon as they approached - this was also the only weakness of the rafters. A single rafter was too fragile and it was not difficult to destroy it.
"Unfortunately, this is not Romania, so I can't use the 'King of Death Penalty'; otherwise I wouldn't need to use other treasures at all."
Seeing this, Shinji withdrew his hand regretfully.
"But this is not bad. You have more people, and I have more Noble Phantasms. Let's see whether your people are stronger or my Noble Phantasms are stronger!"
As he spoke, Akiha's replica took the lead, running wildly in the heat of thousands of degrees. Rafters evaporated wherever they passed, even the huge iron pillar under Shinji's feet that was so big that a man could hug it.
"Well done!"
Shinji laughed, and a white light flashed under his feet. The feather shoes condensed and lifted up the master's body instead of lowering it.
The black shadow slid silently through the air and appeared behind Shinji in a strange posture that was almost impossible for a human to accomplish, and the dagger in its hand stabbed down like lightning.
Shinji seemed to have noticed it already. He stretched out his hand and pointed. A golden pestle floated in the air. Fine golden electric light instantly filled the ten-meter space with itself as the center. The phantoms in the space were affected by the divine thunder and their movements paused.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the "Blood-stained Ghost King" once again showed his power and penetrated all the phantoms in the "Divine Thunder Barrier".
"go!"
With a light shout, the lightning spreading from the "Divine Thunder Barrier" was concentrated and gathered.
The next second, a golden snake tore through the air and hit Zepia, the core of the clone army. At the same time as the thunder snake, the rafters that continued to extend were also attacked.
"Spin and cut!"
Feeling the amazing power and mystery in the thunder and rafters, Zepia did not dare to be careless. He gritted his teeth and madly released the "Aether Light Weave" composed of the fifth element. It was woven into shape at the critical moment. The defeated clone reappeared and used his body as a shield to block the sneak attack of thunder and rafters.
The "Aether Light Weave" is endless, and the destroyed clones that served as shields are resurrected again.
"It never ends." A cold snort.
The two most critical elements of the clone army are the "Aether Light Weave" and Zepia's own computing power. The former can be replenished continuously because it is in the "Tatari".
The latter is even more exaggerated. Although I don't know the specific data, but Shion, whose computing power is not as good as his, can divide his thoughts into seven parts for high-speed calculations, so you can imagine how strong he is. Moreover, after becoming a Dead Apostle, his recovery ability has been greatly enhanced, and he will not feel tired even if he uses his thinking circuits to calculate all night.
With these two guarantees, Zepia is not afraid of the clones being destroyed. At worst, he can just create new ones. What he fears least is a war of attrition - this is also the racial advantage of vampires. Most of the cases of defeat to vampires in history were caused by being dragged into a war of attrition.
The best way to defeat these vampires is to find a way to limit their recovery ability, either by using a treasure that can restrain their recovery ability, or by directly sealing them, or by overwhelming them with higher output.
Shinji didn't know how to seal, and Zepia didn't dare to fight in close combat after suffering a loss in close combat, so he only had one last choice.
"Strike output—this is what I love most."
Shinji said as he slapped the end of the golden pestle and threw the Buddhist instrument like a baseball.
Zepia used the same trick again, letting the clones form layers of defense. However, the golden pestle did not hit anyone, but burst into a dazzling light before hitting them.
"Indra's Thunder: Fantasy Collapse!"—Art is explosion, drink!
Use spirit particles to create a container, and use magic and faith as ammunition to release the power of the treasure all at once. It is simple and crude, but very effective.
The lightning took away the sense of sight, the thunder took away the sense of hearing, and at this moment there was only one theme on the top floor of the "temple" - explosion.
No, the top floor of the "temple" is already a thing of the past. Under the devastating blow of "Indra's Thunder", the tallest building in the city was cut off another layer.
Of course, Shinji in mid-air and the princess standing on the outer wall of the building were not hurt. He had calculated everything before using "Fantasy Collapse". After returning from the parallel world, he never slacked off and studied every day. To this day, he knows the explosion range and effect of all "bombs" clearly.
As soon as the explosion was about to end, he rushed towards the center of the explosion, waving the "Snake Hunting Scythe" - the mental scan showed that Zepia's spirit was still alive, and the recovery ability of the "Twenty-Seventh Ancestor" level Dead Apostles was enough to rival the Fantasy Species and was close to the True Ancestor.
The cold light cut through the smoke and dust raised by the explosion, and the visual obstruction could not stop Shinji's steps. At this moment, there was only one last barrier left in front of Zepia. As long as he broke this barrier and cut his body with the sickle, the battle would be over.
The sickle blade swung down.
With the combination of B-level muscle strength, the thrust of the feather shoes, gravity acceleration, and body strengthening magic, Shinji's strength was enhanced to a terrifying level in an extremely short period of time. Such a blow was definitely not something that the clones could withstand.
However—the attack was indeed blocked.
A hand, a hand that Shinji felt was somewhat familiar.
Smoke and dust exploded.
