Complaints are complaints, and worries are worries.
The incident had already happened, so Shinji wouldn't take it too seriously. Anyway, since the enemy had come to kill him, the first priority was to focus on fighting them, and other things could be dealt with later.
Scathach obviously knew this principle very well, no, not only very well, but too well. She often forgets about the things around her because she is too involved. Shinji asked Sakura to protect the wounded and retreat. He did not join the siege immediately because he was afraid that the master would go crazy and cause some bad effects.
As it turned out, Shinji's worries were right. Scathach was really going crazy. If he intervened at this time, she might treat him as an enemy and attack him together.
The ten-minute quiz with Shinji had already aroused her desire (for battle), and the appearance of Gilgamesh made her desire burn even more vigorously. Although the insane Hercules was not the opponent she expected, his violence and tyranny still made Scathach enter a state of ecstasy.
The two red magic spears were like two bolts of lightning, pouring down on the enemy at a speed that was too fast for the naked eye to see. Even Hercules, who had turned his flesh into armor, could hardly withstand such a fierce attack, and soon blood flowers bloomed on his body.
At first, Hercules would rely on instinct to defend himself, but as the wounds on his body increased, this hero known for his strong body simply gave up defense and allowed the two guns to leave wounds on his body. He just focused on attacking and lived up to his reputation as a berserker.
This style of play was obviously within Scathach's expectations. The Lancer class already had one of the best speeds among full-time classes, and at this time Scathach took this advantage to the extreme.
She sometimes moved forward, sometimes moved backward, sometimes stepped to the left, sometimes stepped to the right, sometimes flew into the air, and sometimes bent down. The storm of axe and sword swung by Hercules did not touch her at all, including the weapon. What was even more rare was that Scathach's series of movements were all within a very small range. At the farthest point, the tip of her spear never left Hercules for more than one meter. From a distance, it looked like a black phantom wrapped in two red lightnings, dancing wildly in the storm.
This was a more clever and dangerous way of fighting than Artoria's, because the petrel knew how to avoid the wind, but the phantom had no idea and only knew how to keep attacking.
Of course, there are restraint advantages brought by the difference in compatibility, but more importantly, it is the embodiment of Scathach's personal style and the accumulation of thousands of years. Because of this, she can practice martial arts to the extreme and reach the realm of killing gods.
One side was constantly injured, while the other side was unscathed. The outcome of the battle between Phantom and Storm was already determined.
When the injuries accumulated to a certain extent, one of the lightning bolts passed over the giant's knee, and the giant's body, which had remained unshakable until now, finally lost its balance and swayed to one side.
"■■■■■■■■■—"
The whirlwind created by the axe and sword had to sweep across, and Scathach turned around easily, fired one gun at the back of the axe and sword to use the force to fly up, and then fired the other gun with all her strength and accurately sent it into the heart of the giant.
"it's over."
The magic power wrapped around the two guns gradually faded away, and the burning blood gradually subsided.
Her Majesty the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows turned her wrist, and the spiked tip of the gun stirred in the giant's heart for several times before she put the gun away, bringing out a string of bright red liquid.
"Show me your skill in defeating the Sun God next time you have the chance."
"Don't be careless, Master. It's not over yet. The battle has just begun."
Shinji, who was well prepared, spoke up to remind him that if others didn't know the effect of Hercules's Noble Phantasm, how could he not know
Scathach, who was about to turn around and leave, let out a soft "eh". Her eyes, which contained the "wisdom of the magic world", quickly swept over Hercules's body that was still alive but dead, and soon realized that something was wrong.
When a Servant is hit by a fatal attack, the container granted by the Holy Grail will begin to disintegrate, and the spirit particles will continue to dissipate. Even with skills such as "Battle Continuation", it can only delay the dissipation of spirit particles, but cannot stop it.
But Hercules' body did not have any disintegrating spirit particles. Not only that, the wounds on the body were still healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, even the heart that was pierced by the magic spear.
"I did pierce his heart just now, and he did lose all vital signs, but now... he's back from the dead? Time has gone backwards? Ah, I understand. It's all about endurance. Legend has it that Hercules overcame the obstacles of twelve trials and was finally welcomed to the throne of God. He was indomitable and the limit of what humans can endure."
While he was speaking, all the other wounds on Hercules' body had healed, and only a thumb-sized hole remained on the fatal wound on his chest. His dim eyes also lit up at the same time, and his frenzied aura did not diminish at all.
"Hahahaha, great, that's what makes it fun."
Seeing this scene, Scathach laughed out loud, and her restrained magic was released once again. Her lingering fighting spirit burned again, even more fiercely.
"I've seen many heroes who have been beheaded and burned but still stood firm, but I never thought someone could actually come back from the dead."
"■■■■■■■■■—"
The last wound was completely healed, and Hercules once again launched a storm of axes and swords with a roar.
Scathach raised both guns and fired them back and forth in succession, responding with a serious attitude.
"My name is Scathach, the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows, the God-killer. Let me see how many times you can be resurrected, and how many times you can endure my magic spear!"
The tip of the gun moved quickly, releasing four consecutive attacks in an instant at an extremely close distance of no more than two meters, and each attack was aimed at the vital point.
However, this time, Scathach's twin guns failed to successfully penetrate the enemy's vital points like last time. It wasn't that Hercules dodged, but his fighting style was still the same as before, not dodging or defending, but using his body to bear the full impact.
However, the wound caused by the hit was surprisingly shallow. Although the high-speed combo was bound to weaken the power, it was impossible for it to be just a superficial injury.
Scathach frowned, realizing something was wrong. She ducked to avoid Hercules' counterattack, and found another opportunity to leave another wound on Hercules' body, still as shallow.
"I see. Get used to the pain. If you endure the pain once, you will be able to endure it a second time. That's right, endurance is actually like this. The unknown is the greatest pain - so what does this mean?"
His thumb rubbed the gun handle quickly, and the next second, a layer of flames covered the surface of the magic gun—the original Rune Feihu!
As expected of a legendary queen who surpasses humans and kills humans, she doesn't need Shinji to explain. She can see through the surface, the essence, and find the most suitable tactics for her.
The flaming magic spears attacked like two fire snakes.
