Scathach's tactics are simple in essence: using runes to add new attributes to monotonous shooting.
If it's difficult to kill with a gun, you can try fire. If that doesn't work, I also have a series of attributes such as freezing, venom, vacuum, etc., one by one.
As long as you are a Servant, there is no such thing as an absolutely invincible immortal body. Scathach's own immortality has been weakened as she became a Servant, and Hercules will inevitably be restricted. What follows is a competition between the strongest endurance of mankind and the wisdom of the demon world - to see whether I have more means or you have more resurrections.
However, whether Scathach intends to do so depends on whether Hercules is willing to cooperate.
The attacking flaming magic spear ended up being blocked by an axe sword that was bigger than the door panel.
After all, he was the strongest hero in ancient Greece. Even though he couldn't use all his martial arts in his berserk state, he didn't lose his sense of danger. He didn't have time to respond to the previous shot through the heart, but now he had time, so he naturally wouldn't let the enemy succeed easily.
Of course, this instinctive defense can only delay the attack, and cannot really hinder Scathach. Hercules in a frenzy state is far inferior in terms of skills. After seeing through the essence of Hercules' immortality is "endurance", Scathach also made targeted changes. Instead of injuring Hercules as much as possible, she mainly fights around, lures Hercules to reveal his flaws, and waits for the opportunity to kill him with one strike.
This not only limits the use of the enemy's immortal body, but also preserves one's own physical strength and magic power to the maximum extent. After all, it is not the main body sitting on the throne in the Shadow Kingdom, so it cannot exert power recklessly, and it is necessary to be thrifty. Scathach also enjoys this process, which reminds her of the bumpy days before she grew up, and Hercules is the magical beasts she encountered during her growth. Don't say it, they are really similar, with similar action patterns, similar roars, and various tricky characteristics.
To deal with such an enemy, you must be patient, calm, identify the weaknesses, and find the right strategy. This is how Scathach overcame all the difficulties and grew up to where she is today. It is the same now. She firmly believes that victory will eventually belong to her.
Carefully using the terrain, Scathach cleverly lured Hercules into the pond in the yard. Scathach once again disrupted his pace, and the Flame Magic Spear that had been waiting for many days finally seized the opportunity.
A bullet in the throat!
The highly concentrated primordial fire released from the tip of the gun exploded in Hercules' neck, blowing his entire head into the sky.
"Second time!" Shinji counted and turned his head to say, "Sakura, Illya, if you think the picture is too disgusting, don't watch it."
"I'm fine, brother." Sakura's voice remained unchanged. As Scathach's disciple, such a scene was nothing.
"I'm fine too. You can see it, so why can't I?"
Illya's voice was a little trembling, but she still insisted. She was not trying to be brave, she just wanted to see the end of this monster who hurt her mother and destroyed her home.
The girls insisted, but Shinji didn't care. He continued to observe Hercules' every move, analyzing his action patterns and preparing for the final kill.
Yes, a killer kill.
Shinji never thought of leaving the task of dealing with Hercules to Scathach. It's not that he didn't believe in Scathach's strength. As a disciple, Shinji knew very well how powerful his master was. If it was a one-on-one fight to the death, Scathach would definitely be able to kill the crazy and insane Hercules.
However, this is the Holy Grail War, and the direction of the battle is determined by the Servants as well as the Masters. Once the Master finds that the momentum is not right, he will definitely order the Servants to retreat. If the opponent lets Hercules retreat, not only will all the efforts of tonight be in vain, but several ways to kill Hercules will be lost forever - this is something Shinji cannot tolerate.
Therefore, he had to completely kill Hercules before the Master of Einzbern ordered a retreat, taking advantage of the only weakness of the "Twelve Trials".
The word "patience" has been destined to have limits since its birth. There is no absolute patience, that is not called patience, that is called normal acceptance. The sublimated treasure is no exception, it also has a limit. When an attack beyond the limit is launched, the effect of the treasure will be greatly reduced, or even directly broken.
To put it simply, as long as the attack power is sufficient and the method is correct, multiple chances of resurrection can be eliminated at once - this is also the only weakness of the "Twelve Trials". The twelve lives are not independent, but connected. In the original world line, Artoria took advantage of this weakness and used LOVELOVE's Stone-breaking Fist - bah, the Sword in the Stone killed seven lives of Hercules with one sword.
However, in order to exploit this weakness, several conditions need to be met. Shinji waited until now to ensure that everything was foolproof.
"Almost done, next - oh, no need, the master has already done it, the master is really awesome."
As he spoke, Scathach killed Hercules once again, this time by destroying his brain with lightning.
At the same time, a flying purple hair fell from the sky.
"Sakura, Shinji, I got the stuff back."
Hearing this voice, Shinji became more confident.
"Xiaoying, you take charge. Sister R, you get ready. If there's still a breath left, you'll be the one to deliver the final blow."
"learn."
Medusa's voice remained calm, but she gave Shinji the strongest support.
"Master, it's time to change people. It's a waste of time to continue this inevitable war of attrition. Let me end it."
"Okay."
Scathach did not insist. Although she did not hate this process, she wanted to see how her closed disciple would resolve the battle.
"Now?"
"Yes—Kazikli Bey (King of Capital Punishment)!"
Before he could finish his words, Scathach dodged and retreated. Just as Hercules was about to chase her, dense rafters rose from under his feet.
The level of the "King of Punishment"'s Noble Phantasm is B, which is not enough to break through the defense of the "Twelve Trials" and cause damage, but the rising force of the rafters will not be affected. In the blink of an eye, Hercules' body has left the ground.
Having lost his footing, Hercules struggled frantically, destroying the rafters under his body, but Shinji was prepared. After the first wave was destroyed, another wave hit it in the form of a "flying pile", followed by the third wave.
The purpose is to prevent him from landing, to use pure impact to make him exhausted, to make him unable to control his situation, so that Shinji can launch an attack beyond his limit and ensure the chance of hitting. At the same time, it can also prevent the attack from being too powerful and affecting the surrounding buildings.
Five meters.
Ten meters.
Fifteen meters.
Twenty meters.
"Okay, now!"
A brilliant golden light appeared in Shen Er's eyes, and the dazzling light was like a rising sun.
"Bless me, Karna!"
The sunlight converges and flashes into the sky!
PS: What LOVELOVE sword in the stone? It’s clearly Erye’s magic Immortal Fist that kills seven with one punch!
