I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

In the corridor leading to the main hall of the Sky Garden, the battle was in full swing.

Siegfried, the Black Saber, led the army of golems to fight bravely and hit everything in the way like a tsunami, but this wave was never able to break through the dam composed of another team of puppets.

It's not that Siegfried is weak, nor is the black caster Avisbron's command bad, it's just that the red caster Atalanta, who has no one to stop him, is too destructive.

This legendary huntress who dedicated her life to hunting specially prepared several platforms in the corridor. She walked back and forth on these platforms, standing high in the west and ravaging enemies with single shots without restraint.

That's right, unilateral and ravaging.

The nearest platform was more than 100 meters away from the defense line. Neither Siegfried nor Avisbronn could attack her at all. They could only watch as she rained arrows.

In fact, Black does not have characters who can contain Atalanta, but they have no time to escape.

Chiron, the Black Archer, has better shooting skills than Atalanta. If he is around, Atalanta will not be able to take advantage even if she has the advantage of being superior. But Chiron would rather let Atalanta shoot randomly than dare to ignore the opponent in front of him.

Yes, I dare not.

His opponent, the red rider Achilles, is a more destructive battlefield warrior than Atalanta.

The fastest steed in mankind gives him unparalleled mobility.

The immortal body that cannot be harmed by the power of God gives him the capital to ignore all kinds of attacks and run rampant.

If instead of insisting on having a one-on-one duel with Chiron, and instead using themselves as the vanguard and teaming up with their partners to fight in a team battle, Black's situation would be even worse.

But even if Achilles didn't go on a rampage, Black's situation was not good, because Black's leader, general, and ace, Black Berserker Vlad III, was suppressed.

"...As expected."

"Ugh...!"

The Red Lancer Karna spoke in a calm voice, gradually forcing his opponent into a desperate situation. Those precise attacks that show no mercy indeed have a cold-blooded feel worthy of the name of a great hero.

However, Vlad III, who was slightly superior not long ago, is now at a disadvantage of being suppressed.

Vlad III himself also felt this change. Strength is declining. If the power I exerted just now was 100%, then now it is only 60% at most.

The rafter piles that had made great achievements were stabbed out one after another, but their speed and sharpness were completely different from before. There was no need to ignite the flames, as Karna deflected them all with just his spear and armor. The distance that was difficult to close before can now be easily crossed.

Vlad III's exceptional attributes, which were the best in this Holy Grail War, were also in decline. This further amplified Karna's martial arts advantage, so that Vlad III had to retreat again and again.

Perhaps seeing Vlad III's confusion, Karna explained between attacks.

"This sky garden is the territory controlled by our assassin, and it does not belong to your territory. In other words - as long as you are in this garden, you are not a hero who saves the country."

"Red" Assassin's Noble Phantasm "The Sky Garden of the Vanities" is a castle Noble Phantasm that can control a certain area. In other words, this is not Romania where Vlad III was worshiped as a hero, and his popularity here is equal to zero.

Of course, Karna's popularity is also close to zero. However, compared with Vlad III, Karna's power as a benchmark is completely different - one was the peak of the age of gods in the most mysterious period and was unparalleled in the world, and the other could only be regarded as the tyrant of a small European country. The military strategists are not at the same level at all.

Vlad III was able to compete with Karna because of the local faith bonus. Without faith, he could only be beaten back to his original form. The most intuitive manifestation is that the skill "Ghost General Protecting the Country" is invalidated, and the resulting A-level "madness" correction is lost, and the extraordinary strength and agility fall back to level A. Although it is still higher than Karna, this gap can be made up by "magic release" alone.

What's even worse is Vlad III's greatest reliance on the Noble Phantasm "King of Execution". This Noble Phantasm requires the use of "Ghost General to Protect the Country" to obtain the earth's veins and turn it into one's own territory before it can be used. The "Ghost General who protects the country" is ineffective, and the "King of Capital Punishment" cannot be used - strictly speaking, it does not mean that it cannot be used, but it is downgraded.

The level of the Noble Phantasm has been reduced from B to C+, and the type has also changed from anti-army to anti-human. Although it is still written as "Kazikli Bey" in English, its name has been changed to "Blood-Stained King Ghost".

Although it still has the power to wipe out a single servant in one fell swoop, that refers to ordinary servants and does not pose a threat to top servants like Karna.

At this time, Vlad III had lost the elegance, magnificence, and violence that he always maintained. Not to mention taking off Karna's head, as long as he makes a slight mistake, what awaits him will be an avalanche-like ending.

A slight annoyance filled Vlad III's mind. This action was a little too reckless. They misestimated the strength of both sides and went too deep into the enemy's position. The most fatal thing was that they did not think that the other party would seize the Great Holy Grail.

One wrong move and the whole game is lost.

And his own defeat will also lead to the defeat of Black as a whole - unless Assassin can arrive in time.

No, we can't pin our hopes on him. The red team also has caster, assassin and saber who didn't show up.

There is no way, there is only one last option!

Vlad III's face showed deep sorrow, both for himself and for his enemies. He put away his gun, straightened his clothes, and looked at Karna who was standing close in front of him.

A slight puzzlement appeared on Karna's stern face, and the advancing golden spear also stopped.

"What's wrong? Do you want to surrender?"

"I will not surrender to the invaders."

"Now you are the aggressors."

"Indeed, I am the aggressor, so I am not the lord of Romania - that's right, Danic."

Vlad III raised his head, the sadness on his face getting deeper and deeper.

"As you said, Grand Duke."

At the end of the line of sight, in an open place far away from the battlefield, at the top of a temple-style pillar, a white cloak appeared like magic. None of the servants present noticed his presence.

All the servants present stopped moving. That was the only Master present - Danik, the leader of the Thousand World Tree clan.

Danik's voice was very soft, like a devil's whisper.

"It is a pity that your status as a hero is limited to Romania. In other parts of the world, people only know you by another name, a stigma that you are determined to clear."

"Danik, I don't want to bear the shame imposed by future generations, do you understand?"

"Understood, so let me bear this sin. If your and my wishes can come true, I will die to apologize."

After saying that, Darnic raised a hand with a three-stroke command spell glowing red.

"I give an order with the command spell, the heroic spirit Vlad III, to activate the Noble Phantasm immediately——"

Karna, who was closest, instinctively felt that something was wrong, and the golden divine spear passed through a stream of light and stabbed Vlad III's chest.

Unexpectedly, Vlad III neither dodge nor block, and just let the sharp gun penetrate his chest, causing blood to bleed from his mouth and nose.

"In this way, Vlad III, the lord of Romania, was killed by you, and what follows is-"

"——Legend of Dracula!"

"——The monster who was forced to bear a tragic stigma due to his creation, the vampire Dracula!"

Shadows fall and blood fills the air.

PS: The myths about the setting of the moon are basically true, and the historical heroes are very disadvantaged.

PS3: "Appear like magic" is the original text of Higashiide. The guy who can defeat the old bug is really extraordinary.

PS4: The hero side of the Grand Duke summoned in Romania will be greatly strengthened. Based on this point, the traitor set the local crazy Grand Duke as a person who does not mind using the Noble Phantasm, but still has a knot in his heart.
