I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

One step beyond the sound!

However, what happened next was not the expected step-by-step, but the sword was directly drawn out, hitting Shenji directly in the face.

Shinji's scythe blade crossed, and he tried to block it. Unexpectedly, at the moment before the blade collided with the scythe blade, Shirou suddenly retracted his sword and took another step, still "one step over the sound".

This time, the sword hit the side of Shinji's neck, and Shinji defended himself with a shield.

However, the sword was retracted just before the collision, and he continued to step forward. The impact point was clearly behind Shinji.

Next, just like the previous two cycles, Shirou repeated the routine of moving at high speed, drawing out the knife and then withdrawing it at the last moment.

This is of course not a joke, but the most appropriate tactic at the moment. Shinji is not afraid of injuries, and his strength increases with injuries, so he cannot accumulate injuries like he does against ordinary opponents. Shirou will only use his sword when he is sure of a chance to kill with one strike.

Shinji obviously noticed this and stopped following Shirou's sword, focusing on protecting his vital points. It's just that Shirou's movements that were enhanced by the command spell were faster, more ethereal, and more elusive than before. After several cycles, the protection could not keep up with the frequency of attacks, and an obvious gap was revealed between the sickle blade and the shield. flaw.

Shirou, who had already superimposed his speed to a terrifying value, did not miss this opportunity. He slashed down with the sword, with a posture similar to the guillotine used to kill prisoners in the Middle Ages.

A cold light flashed.

What sounded was not the muffled sound of the blade cutting into the human body, but a crisp "clang", which was the sound of gold and iron.

Iron is Shirou's sword, a famous sword made of thousand-forged stainless steel - "Miike Nounta".

Gold is a gun, with a black base and gold trim. It exudes an unabashed aura of divinity. It is clearly one of Shinji's precious phantoms - the "Ishtar War Gun".

After a period of preparation, Shinji finally used the third magic left by Justeza to repair the two damaged treasures. It was this magic gun that blocked Shirou's killing blow.

The black gold light drew a smart trajectory and pierced Shirou's chest.

Shirou turned his blade, put the tip of the blade against the tip of the gun, and used the force to retreat, actively interrupting the attack.

It wasn't that he was weak, or that the amplification of the Command Seal had expired, but that Shinji was in too abnormal a state at this time.

The shield in the left hand and the sickle in the right hand are still firmly grasped in the hand, and the movement is still to protect the head and face with the shield, and the sickle is placed in front of the chest, all in front of the body - this one appears on the back of the neck, blocking the break. The war gun that can still fight back after the first blow is held in the third hand.

That's right, the third hand. A third hand grew from the back, where the left ribs end.

It was this hand that caused a hint of complexity to appear in Shirou's eyes.

"Matou Shinji, you——"

"I said, I'm going to kill you, no matter what the cost."

Shenji turned around and locked his stern eyes firmly on his enemy. At the same time, the end of his right ribs bulged, and in just a few seconds, the white spiritual clothes burst open, and a new hand, a fourth hand, grew.

In this hand, he held another damaged treasure - Indra's Thunder.

When he took back the two Noble Phantasms, the magic power in Shen Er's body lost its outlet and began to accumulate.

Such an excessive stack of magic power will only have two endings, either it will be exploded, or the body will be activated with magic power and begin to grow abnormally, gradually losing its human shape and starting to become alien.

Previously, Shinji still had some luck, thinking that he could reach Shirou through the tactics of magic circulation. But after Shirou used the command spell to strengthen himself, he had completely cut off this luck. If the strength is not enough, I will increase the strength. If human strength is not enough, then——

"I'm no longer a human being, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada!!!"

Suddenly, thunder pierced the sky, and the war gun shook the ground. Medusa opened her eyes and stared, and the snake-hunting sickle struck out.

Four arms and four precious phantoms were dispatched at the same time.

Not crazy, not live.

◇◇◇

When Shinji gave up his human body, another non-human being known as the "original human" gradually fell into disadvantage.

It's not that he, who has mastered Kabbalah technology and embodies the dreams of all Kabbalah warlocks, really can't beat Hydra, but because he suffers too much when fighting in the aerial garden.

As mentioned before, "Crown·Light of Wisdom" is a growth-type Noble Phantasm. The total length when it was born was fifteen meters, but this was just the number of "newly born". As the "paradise" expands, the giant will become larger and larger, and will eventually exceed one thousand meters.

A giant that has reached this level must have multiple first-class servants, otherwise it will be impossible to fight against it. What Shinji, Avisbron himself, or other insiders hope is that the Titan that has reached the final stage will use its pure power to crush the entire Sky Garden, or that the entire garden will be under the control of the Titan.

As long as there is no support from the courtyard, Shirou's side will definitely lose. As for what will happen to Avisbron in the future? What will happen to the mysterious hidden law? Let’s talk about it when the time comes. If it doesn’t work, we can still blame those superpowers. (After all, it’s a thousand meters away. You can’t hide it no matter what. People from the Magic Association and the Holy Church will probably die from stomachache.)

However, everyone has overlooked one thing. The Sky Garden is Semiramis' territory and her temple. She has absolute control over it.

Although the ability of the giant's own inherent barrier called "Paradise" to rewrite reality is powerful, it cannot override Semiramis's control over the territory.

At first, Semiramis didn't react, and part of her territory was usurped by "Paradise." After she reacted, "Paradise" was firmly restricted by Semiramis, who had the entire garden as support, and it was difficult to expand even half a step. .

Without the support of "Paradise", the giant's growth has become extremely slow.

Even though Avisbron tried his best, drained almost all the magic power, and sacrificed all the rare birds and animals around him, he could only make the giant grow to thirty meters. Due to its size and the puppet's characteristics of not being afraid of poisoning, Can suppress Hydra.

But Hydra is not fighting alone, it has the support of Semiramis. Don't use attack magic, increase Hydra's power, and trick the giant a few times at critical moments, it will be enough to change the situation of the battle.

If it weren't for the giant's powerful recovery ability and the support of Avisbron's "Secret Technique", the giant would have fallen to this terrifying combination.

However, this can only delay, but not prevent, the defeat of the giants.

Gradually, the giant's movements became slower and slower, and its wounds healed slower and slower. After all, it was just a puppet named "Adam", not a real original human being.

"Has it reached its limit? As expected, the performance of the 'Heart of the Furnace'... But it is meaningless to talk about it now. I was mentally prepared when I agreed to the conditions of Assassin, so let me devote my final strength to the 'Paradise'."

Avisbron, who was hiding in the deepest part of "Paradise", sighed, showing obvious emotions in his words for the first time.

"Luo Xie, can you hear me? I need the amplification of the command spell. Use the three strokes together."

"Teacher? You can hear it, you can hear it." Luo Xie's voice was full of joy, "I will use it right away. The sixth 'Black' ordered with three strokes of the command spell to strengthen the caster. Teacher, you must win. "

The crystallization of the great magic awakened the miracle, and the magic power that was on the verge of drying out became full again, and even the giant state began to steadily recover.

"Haha, he is such a good student. It's just that this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to respond to your expectations."

Avisbronn looked at the direction of the Master from a distance, shook his head slightly, and walked towards the giant who was still fighting. Just like the birds and beasts just now, he wants to use himself as the final sacrifice to become the nourishment for his Noble Phantasm "Original Humanity".

"I'm begging you, 'Light of Wisdom'! With your power, I believe... we will definitely be able to create a paradise on this land! Save the world, save humanity, and save my people!"

PS: shirou: You don’t want to be a human anymore? Then I can only rely on the almighty "Platinum Star".

PS2: Mother C can buff People’s Teacher ten times. Even if Semiramis’s magic level is not as good as Mother C, seven or eight times is still enough. Even if Hydra’s body is too big and greatly compromised, it’s still scary enough—you must know that C in FGO The sub-buff is Uncle Hai, and Uncle Hai is the hero who killed Hydra... From this point of view, the auxiliary ability of the Magician of the Gods is really terrifying.

PS3: Avisbron's approach can be regarded as a kind of immorality.
