That's right, this is the "King of Capital Punishment".
Vlad III of Romania elevated the reputation of "The Thorn Lord" to the limit with his heroic side. It is an ultra-large-scale anti-military weapon with a maximum range of one kilometer and a maximum number of 20,000!
However, this requires Romania itself, with the blessing of the land and spiritual veins themselves, as well as the people living on this land's deep-rooted belief in the greatest hero in their country's history to achieve such sublimation.
But now, neither of the two conditions are met. How can we break the limitations of faith and the earth
While spreading the rafters outward, he used his mind to scan his entire body, trying to find the cause.
The nearby land and spiritual veins were still under the control of the "Frozen Throne" and provided no support to him. The only support he had was the blood of the True Ancestor mixed with the power of the golden apple in his body. The nature of the power was very similar to that of the territory of the Thousand Worlds Tree Clan that he had visited before.
Difficult, could it be that—
The True Ancestor is the embodiment of nature, and the True Ancestor's blood is the embodiment of natural vitality, which can be regarded as the "Great Source". The Golden Apple is a sacred object related to the Earth Goddess, which contains the power of the earth. The combination of the two is equivalent to the spiritual vein.
Elquiet's home city, the "Millennium City", is located in Romania and occupies the largest spiritual vein node. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the center of Romania's spiritual vein. Perhaps Elquiet absorbed the power of the spiritual vein during its long sleep, or perhaps Elquiet unconsciously influenced the spiritual vein. Even more exaggerated, Elquiet was born from the land of Romania - no matter which one it is, Elquiet has a close connection with Romania.
It is possible that this connection, strengthened by the Golden Apple, could also play a role in Romania, such as the Romanian embassy abroad.
Yes, that must be it!
Although most of it was speculation and there was no evidence, Shinji's heart told him that this result of several coincidences was the correct answer. Thanks to it, this treasure that had become useless after leaving Romania finally restored its original appearance and became the most practical of all treasures.
The last shortcoming has been made up, and you don’t have to worry about insufficient attack range anymore!
Shinji, filled with joy, called out the Noble Phantasm's true name once again:
"Kazikli Bey (King of Capital Punishment)!"
Same pronunciation, different power.
Although the level of the Noble Phantasm is only one level different, the strength is vastly different. It is a qualitative change from human to non-human, and it is the ladder for ordinary servants to move towards the top level.
The situation on the battlefield changed again.
Before it was one man against a forest, now it is forest against forest.
Vampire forest versus steel forest.
The red forest mixed with frost is certainly terrifying, but the pitch-black steel forest covering the entire ground is even more oppressive.
Shinji stood in the center of the steel forest, on a platform built with more than ten rafters, with his hands open. The ground, which was already covered in black, became even darker.
Layer upon layer of rafters were like rows of sharp spears, piercing through the ice and frost mercilessly and fiercely into every branch, every claw, and every tentacle of the vampire forest!
Once it penetrates, it stays there and never lets go, leaving the forest no chance to recover.
The forest that was pierced by thorns did not die, but instead grew new trunks and new twigs. This is its strongest point and a common characteristic of plants, an extremely strong vitality.
However, as soon as these new branches stretched out, the steel forest also changed. Rafters grew on top of each other, and a new round of stringing continued, as if they were competing.
Not only that, the operator of the rafters was not satisfied with the status quo and suddenly raised his open hands.
The rafters that had been placed behind him for testing broke out of the ground, flew up into the sky, drew a huge arc, and then scattered and fell down, nailing into the most active nodes of the throne from top to bottom. The more active the nodes, the more rafters fell.
As soon as a wave of fire fell, new rafters immediately broke out of the ground, either piercing directly or flying high into the sky, as if they were inexhaustible, piercing the "Frozen Throne" from all directions. The blows were more intensive and more violent than those suffered during the breakthrough into the Fuhailin.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. And this is just the interest. The more important principal must be repaid with the life of the "Frozen Throne"!
Such a massive confrontation could no longer be described as a battle, it was a war, a terrible war that only existed in myths and legends. The magical scene of each controlling a powerful force colliding with each other, the dreamlike scene of high-level mysteries invading each other, shocked the hearts of every spectator. It was a spectacular scene that people living in peacetime and magicians living in the modern era of declining mysteries had never seen before.
"No, impossible!" Luvia couldn't help but widen her eyes, and her ladylike image was completely gone.
"That thing is not magic!!!" Olga Marie bit her lips tightly. She had been strong-willed since she was a child and thought she was at the forefront of magic and even the mysterious world, but the scene before her still exceeded her imagination.
"So strong, so scary..." Colles trembled all over. He had experienced the least among the people present, so he was particularly shocked. That reaction was the same as Waver's first time seeing the Servant War.
"Is that guy really a human?" Even Kanono Hishiri, who graduated from the law and politics department and was used to seeing all kinds of monsters, lost his usual composure.
Most of the other people's reactions were similar, either shock, fear, or a blank mind, the only difference was the degree of reaction.
Those who don't know Shinji react bigger, those who do react smaller. Waver, Gray, Lorelaia, and Arquette belong to the latter. The degree of reaction is inversely proportional to the degree of understanding. Arquette knows Shinji's strength best, so naturally her reaction is the smallest, and her expression doesn't change much.
Of course, there are outliers.
For example, Melvin, a guy who puts interest above all else, stared at the battlefield intently, his face full of joy, and he kept saying, "Great, this is what I want to see. It turns out that you will never be bored with this guy Webber."
Smith, who was also an interest-oriented person, reacted much more indifferently. Like Fu Hailin, she was one of the twenty-seven ancestors and was very powerful. Although the power displayed by Shinji was terrifying, it did not shock her too much. She said "not bad" in a half-drunk and half-awake manner and stopped talking.
Rita, who shared a doll with her, gave Shinji a high evaluation:
"Scary little thing, she still has such good vision - but she's not the only one with good vision... Is the True Ancestor's princess okay? Do you want to help her? If one's individual strength is insufficient, make up for it with other aspects. Competition is only interesting when the two sides are evenly matched, just like Smeeley and I."
