Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

53.Gate of Babylon

After confirming that there was something wrong with the direction over there, Lu Mingfei subconsciously rose into the sky, followed closely by Elizabeth, who was much slower.

In this French singularity where all-out war is the main theme and the battle scenes are extremely broad, being able to fly is even more important than pure combat effectiveness.

Siegfried, who was supposed to be the strongest dragon slayer, was pushed out of the first echelon because he couldn't fly like Guradon.

Lu Mingfei disappeared all of a sudden, but not long after Elizabeth got up, she seemed to have thought of something. She made an abrupt stop in mid-air, and her slender dragon tail drew an arc in mid-air, like a lizard. However, his pupils were fixed on Alta Heizhen.

Alta looked eager to try.

but.

"Alta, please remember it clearly!"

Elizabeth said sharply:

"Don't think you are a warrior just because you have a sword in your hand. You are a spell caster. Find a safe position to deal damage. Don't rush into the enemy group and fight melee just because you are passionate! You are different from us. You are flesh and blood. Body!"

Alta, who was still eager to try, suddenly seemed to be choked and stamped her feet depressedly.

"I know, I'm so annoyed. Are you my mother!?"

Elizabeth ignored Aluta's remark and glanced at Mozart. Before she spoke, Mozart shrugged his shoulders in an honest manner, probably to express that he would not cause trouble, right?

Elizabeth's eyes finally fell on Qing Ji: "Please look at them."

Qingji nodded subconsciously, looking responsibly at the woman in front of her who looked exactly like the Dragon Lady Elizabeth she knew.

Elizabeth flapped her wings and followed Lu Mingfei's back. Alta, Mozart, and Qing Ji returned to the floating ship. The taciturn black knight Lancelot followed silently. It seemed that someone was missing?

Oh, Lucy, Lucy, she didn't come down before because she was a little airsick.

It was the same now. Before she could recover, the spacecraft suddenly took off again, causing her to almost feel the acid in her stomach.

At this stage, the Holy King Army's aerostat has not considered comfort and other aspects of design. It has not been put into actual combat at present. It is only used as a transport ship. It is essentially a flying iron coffin equipped with weapons.

For Lucy, who is the mascot, it is indeed the same as riding the most thrilling roller coaster in the amusement park.

Lucy could only hold on and ask Mozart, who was responsible for using magic to fly the spaceship, to take it easy.

at this time.

Lu Mingfei arrived at the front line with Elizabeth one after another, and the chaos he saw was beyond his expectation.

The tower defense line designed by Chaldea naturally takes into account the situation of soldiers slipping and falling, so there are also refuge rooms hidden in the gaps in the walls for hiding and waiting for reinforcements to rescue them.

But these reliable designs have not played any role now. The level of chaos at the entire scene is incredible. The people in danger have completely lost their minds, causing great trouble to the rescuers. Even the rescuers can't believe it at this time. They were very panicked and lost their position during the rescue and the attack of the dragons. The fort even ceased fire, which further made the rescue more difficult.

The strange thing was not the enemy, but one of his own. Lu Mingfei was even familiar with several veterans who went to the rescue. He vaguely remembered that they were the elite among the elite who had followed him in the retreat. Why was he so panicked?

It's not like she's simply panicked - it's not like there's something wrong with her ordinary thinking, but it's like a curse from the spiritual interference system?

Didn’t the Holy King use his own method to bear the curse on behalf of the fifteen million people in France? Why do people still get tricked? Could it be that the protection of the Holy King has failed?

There were more people in distress than expected. Several hundred engineering soldiers who had just completed their training were in chaos. Lu Mingfei originally wanted to rush over and pick them up, but seeing this situation, he exchanged glances with Elizabeth.

The shrewd and capable Countess immediately understood, and the two of them unanimously chose to intercept the various dragon beasts that were coming like hyenas that smelled the rotten smell, so as to create space for rescue from behind.

Lu Mingfei also urgently reported the situation to the Holy King through Chaldea.

"Boss! Has the BUFF you added expired? The influence of 'despair' is beginning to appear again on the Fourth Army's defense line!"

Emperor Karl's response immediately rang in Lu Mingfei's mind: "I don't know! Everything on Yu's side showed that everything was normal, but there were similar riots in the four army's stations, and the fourth army's area was the most serious. Wait, are you with the Fourth Army? Why did you go there?"

"Didn't I say that I would take my family and my family out for a picnic and team building?"

".I'll leave that to Sir Lucifer."

It can be heard that the Holy King is also very busy now.

While Lu Mingfei was annihilating the dragon beasts and creating space for the rescue operations at the rear, Lu Mingfei was searching everywhere. At the same time, he ignored Aluta's complaints in the communication channel and let Mozart control the iron coffin to move higher and farther away from the enemy. Fly to a safe place and let Chaldea cooperate with the equipment mounted above to analyze the intelligence of the entire battlefield.

He could vaguely feel that there seemed to be something wrong around here.

——[? ? ? Perceived difficulty: 1D100=97】——

——[Lu Mingfei’s ‘inspiration’: 1D100=23]——

Lu Mingfei vaguely felt that something strange was nearby, but he just couldn't feel it accurately. It was as if the aura of this generation, whether it was humans, dragon beasts, or even the space itself, was covered with a layer of haze. Thick fog.

at the same time.

In the air, communications were maintained with Chaldea. Under the command of Su Enxi, who was working part-time as the chief data collector of Chaldea because there was really no manpower, the aerospace ship searched for a suitable location and collected various data on the battlefield.

——But just now.

Lucy's eyes became blank for a moment, the girl's pupils expanded unnaturally, and her empty eyes looked in a certain direction through the inner wall of the floating ship. Qingji, who was responsible for taking care of Lucy, an 'ordinary person', seemed to have noticed something, and immediately shouted anxiously:

"There's a problem! Zuo Xian! Dodge!"

Then it was half a beat too slow after all.

As if countless cannonballs were concentrated on the left side, the interior of the iron coffin, which had not been designed with comfort in mind, suddenly became a mess. Mozart quickly used magic to stabilize the hull to prevent the iron coffin from falling to the ground. Ji also hugged Lucy beside him to prevent her from getting hurt.

Well, Lucy's face is now purple, as if she is desperately enduring something.

The Black Knight Lancelot and the Black Jane Alta broke out of the window immediately. Mozart quickly blocked the gap with magic power, and the two people came to the outside of the iron coffin.

When the communication signal with Chaldea suddenly became intermittent, Lancelot, who came to the outside of the spacecraft, and Alta who followed closely behind, finally saw clearly what the 'cannonball' that hit the aerospace ship was. .

Yes - weapons

A dozen cold weapons, swords, spears, halberds, axes, swords, and even things similar to maces, these cold weapons penetrated the surface deck of the floating ship and got stuck in the metal layer. Where did they come from? How did it gain kinetic energy and then hit here.

The high-altitude clouds blocked the view, and Lancelot, who could not speak, fell into hesitation. Alta didn't know how to answer Mozart, who kept asking him "What happened outside?"

Alta held a long sword inserted on the surface of the floating ship. The long sword shone with a simple and mysterious dark light. These cold weapons that attacked them were all... Noble Phantasms?

Alta's eyes widened in surprise: "We were probably attacked by something like a sword fairy?"

"What the hell?" Mozart, who was not completely led astray by Lu Mingfei's "gossip" because he was always out for fun, didn't understand.

Chaldea's communication was also intermittent at this time, as if it had fallen into a state of poor signal again. It shouldn’t be, what is going on? Mozart tried to contact Lu Datong, but the signal was still poor.

When it came to serious matters, Mozart was relatively reliable. Realizing the danger of continuing like this, he planned to descend immediately and return to the ground to join Lu Mingfei.

--However

Before he made a formal decision, a secret enemy helped them make the decision.

The roar was like a cannonball, it was the roar of the broken sound barrier being forcibly torn apart. Faster than the sound, there were dozens of spears fired at the floating ship!

At this time, Hei Zhen did not forget that he was actually a master. He waved the long sword in his hand, condensed his magic power, turned it into several lances burning with black flames, and fired them!

Alta first needs to block the local shooting. Her output power is very high, but the power and speed of the hastily gathered lances are not as good as those of the enemy. More importantly, these spears are fired casually as if they are disposable consumables. All are precious phantoms!

Alta's counterattack only had a slight impact, and was quickly shattered by the impact. Instead, more Noble Phantasms were projected over!

No matter whether you are advancing or retreating, all roads are blocked by the barrage of nearly a hundred cold weapons and precious phantoms!

What on earth are you fighting against?

Faced with this desperate situation, the only person present who could take countermeasures was Lancelot, who was silent and could only roar with unclear meaning.

Lancelot directly threw the unusable Holy Spear [Indestructible Lake Light] in his hand to Alta. At the same time, he bent down, like a cheetah about to take off, and pressed his hands on the floating ship. On the deck, the palms of both hands touched the metal of the floating ship.

Lancelot activated his Noble Phantasm

--legend

Among King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table, there was a knight who relied on his 'martial arts' to become the strongest knight.

Even without any weapons in his hands, he could just pick up a branch nearby and use it to defeat other knights who challenged him.

At first glance this story seems to be a boast about Lancelot's prowess.

But it’s scary to think about it carefully.

You know, the biggest allies of the Knights of the Round Table are the Lake Fairies on the island of Britannia, and the Lake Fairies are even famous wholesalers of holy swords. The Knights of the Round Table say that no one in the Knights of the Round Table can even hold a holy sword or a magic sword. Too much.

Facing these holy swords and demon swords, let alone any skills, if they are really just ordinary branches, they will be shattered just by getting close to them.

The correct answer is that anything can be used as a [weapon] as long as it is touched by Lancelot's hands.

Whether this is some kind of supernatural power, protection from fairies, or some kind of magic skill, Lancelot, who has become crazy, doesn't know.

It's just that you can use this power instinctively.

——Noble Phantasm·Knight of Owner will not die with bare hands (Knight of Owner)

The airship was transformed into and controlled by Lancelot's Noble Phantasm in an instant. The airship that became the Noble Phantasm was no longer just an iron coffin, but an iron coffin that flew extremely fast and was extremely flexible!

Lancelot drove the floating boat at his feet, spinning and flying in the air like a climactic acrobat, over the constant barrage of Noble Phantasms. Facing what he could not dodge, it was——

Catch it with your own hands.

Knights never die with their bare hands!

He forcibly brought the enemy's Noble Phantasm under his control, and waved the Noble Phantasm in his hand to shoot down more inescapable Noble Phantasm barrages. This extremely powerful performance left Alta standing next to him stunned.

Of course, there are side effects.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

The berserker went berserk, and even though Mozart kept yelling in his mind: "Stop! Get to the ground! Lancelot!" it had no effect at all.

Lancelot dragged the iron coffin, passed through the barrage of Noble Phantasms head-on, and rushed out of the sea of ​​clouds!

The dazzling sunlight shone above the clouds, making people's eyes sting and sore. Alta squinted her eyes and only had time to see the shadow of something huge in the sky, which seemed to be a large flying ship, and then the other person hid. Into the sea of ​​clouds.

Crazy Lancelot didn't obey the command at all, as if he had entered "Ace Combat" or "War Thunder", the Berserker roared and continued to catch up!

The two sides of a ‘dog fight’ flying at supersonic speeds in the sea of ​​clouds

Anyway, Lucy finally couldn't hold it back anymore and pointed at the big bag that Qingji brought over, vomiting wildly.

Mozart was sweating profusely. He could neither contact Chaldea nor Lu Mingfei, and he didn't even know what was happening outside.

"****! What on earth are we fighting!?"

Chaldea was equally anxious. They were dumbfounded when they saw the messy data pouring out of the instruments in front of them. Su Enxi, who couldn't process it no matter how hard she typed on the keyboard, wanted to give up treatment.

The person who brought an end to this chaos was the unexpectedly reliable Kiyohime.

Qingji patted Lucy on the back: "Be patient."

"ah?"

Before Lucy could react, Qingji decisively tore her clothes to pieces and used them as a temporary rope to tie Lucy to the support pillar inside the floating ship. Then her lower body transformed into a snake shape, moving flexibly Afraid of movement in the chaotic cabin, he came to the window.

Immediately, he broke out of the window and rushed to the outside of the floating ship!

——Noble Phantasm Liberation!

Not as legendary as Lancelot, Kiyohime's original text is just a folk tale. In the legend, there is a girl who relied on obsession and will to transform herself into a burning dragon.

That is Kiyohime.

From man to snake, from snake to dragon.

Folk tales and legends——

"[Turn around and create samadhi (てんしんかしょうざんまい)]!"

The Eastern Flame Dragon, which was more than thirty meters long, appeared. Its snake-like body entangled the floating ship, forcing the berserker Lancelot to hold on. The dragon's breath he breathed also tore the curtain of the sea of ​​clouds, roaring and The high temperature finally reached the ground across a distance of several thousand meters.

Lu Mingfei, who sensed something was wrong, rushed to the sea of ​​clouds like a thunderstorm with the torn atmosphere wrapped around him in an instant, smashing dozens of incoming Noble Phantasms!

The snow-white six wings shone in the sunlight, and Lu Mingfei's superb dynamic vision allowed him to capture the strange 'thing' entangled with Lancelot.

The opponent's body is entangled with thick black mist. No, it's not entangled with black mist. Those weird black mist are part of the opponent's body. The twisting and squirming black mist seems to say that the opponent's body has not yet been completely formed.

"What happened? Who are you?!"

This time the opponent did not continue to escape and fight, but confronted Lu Mingfei in the air. As Elizabeth came up, she ignored Aluta's dissatisfaction and asked the others to land in a safe place on the defense line.

Under Lu Mingfei's gaze, behind the strange being, ripples as dark as night but shining, like 'colorful black' appeared. The ripples drooped downwards, and countless long swords fell from them, and were struck again. The ripples below engulfed it, and then resurfaced in the ripples above, continuing to fall, and so on.

It's like it's accelerating a vertical fall through distorted space?

The next moment, the other party did not respond to Lu Mingfei's intention. Hundreds of accelerated Noble Phantasms left a trail of afterimages and attacked Lu Mingfei through the air!

What kind of heroic spirit is this?

No, is this thing really a heroic spirit? ?

←to be continued!

Speaking of which, because Qing Ji has very few scenes in the main plot, and most of the descriptions are in the interludes and details of the activities, many people think that Qing Ji is just a crazy critic. But in fact, in addition to being impulsive for love, Except for some time, Kiyohime is a typical Yamato Nadeshiko most of the time.

By the way, the same goes for Heizhen. Although she looks very violent, if you look carefully, you will find that she rarely engages in close combat. In various versions of comics, there are also very few descriptions of her close combat.

The most common description of close combat is being beaten up close by Bai Zhen
