The giant walking step by step above the sea was slowly approaching Animusfia and the others.

It was as if they didn't care at all how they would react to the bows and arrows they shot before, nor did they care at all what shocking feats they had just completed.

Killing the monsters in the myth that gave many heroes a headache was as easy as killing livestock. The giant man like an iron tower walked towards them step by step.

Except for the lion's head and intact fur on his left shoulder, which has not even dried up blood, his upper body does not wear any clothing or armor. Only the thick chain-like wrist guards on both sides of the wrist can be considered. The work is to wear.

But are those really bracers? Maybe it was what it looked like, but it wasn't necessarily the chains used to lock him.

As the giant like an iron tower continued to approach, Animusfia had to observe more details of the other party - the upper body was exposed to the sun, and the dark skin reflected the steel-like metallic luster, and the skin Every muscle under his body is as flawless and powerful as a stone statue made by Michelangelo.

No, even Michelangelo could only carve a stone statue that slightly restored some of the spirit after seeing such a body in person.

Underneath the perfectly arranged muscles was a belt that was slightly out of proportion to him.

What kind of disproportionate method is it? To use it as a metaphor, it would be like a cyberpunk man suddenly appearing in a steampunk world with his whole body shining with neon light.

In the center of the belt is a large gold medal engraved with a lion's head. It is wrapped around a circle with some unknown but extremely shiny leather, and hangs down from the main body of the belt like olive branch leaves. A "leaf" made of leather is studded with soft gold, depicting scenes of fighting between warriors from different places.

Although the style was extremely Greek-style, Animusfia noticed a clue from the yellow, red and blue light emanating from its edge.

The last time I encountered such a sense of dissonance was the long sword held by the white giant Cephalus in Rome.

Speaking of which, that sword also has three colors of red, yellow and blue light.

Under its belt is a skirt armor made of iron ingots taken directly from the fire.

Although it is rough and simple, its defensive power can be seen just by looking at the thick matte texture.

However, Animusfia felt that perhaps the legs that supported the entire strong body like mountain peaks were stronger.

"...Jason, is he the one?"

Looking at the giant man who was not wavering at all, walking step by step on the sea like a leisurely stroll, Animusfia turned to Jason and asked.

Not only his legs, but his whole body was trembling like chaff at the moment, but Jason suddenly calmed down after receiving Animusfia's question, clenched the long sword in his hand, and then stared closely at the sea in the distance. Hercules walked over and nodded.

Come to think of it, the only being who can give people such a sense of oppression and possess such strength in this singularity is Hercules.

As for the lion fur on Heracles's left shoulder and the belt around his waist, Animusphia could make the decision without any pressure after getting confirmation from Jason.

If it were the head of a wild boar, Animusfia might still hesitate that the fur was snatched by Hercules from Atalanta, a companion of the Argonauts.

But if it were the head of a lion, it must be the legendary invulnerable Nemean Lion.

And from the bloodstains on it that had not been completely removed, Animusfia concluded that the fur of the Nemean Lion did not appear together with Heracles's appearance as a Noble Phantasm.

Combined with the fact that he had just annihilated the hundred-headed poisonous dragon Ladon and the Caucasian condor, which were both born to Typhon and Echidna, as well as the Nemean Lion, it is more likely that Hercules killed that piece of fur again. The spoils of war from the Nemean Lion.

As for the belt that gave Animusfia a deep sense of dissonance, Animusfia deduced that it should be the God of War's belt snatched from Amazon Queen Hippolyta in mythology.

However, it is unknown whether this belt was held by Hercules as a Noble Phantasm as a result of his lifetime achievements or whether he later snatched it from the Queen of the Amazons who also appeared as a Servant.

The Noble Phantasm that allowed Hercules to walk on water was even more difficult to track down.

At this time, Animusfia began to regret not asking Jason more about Heracles.

But after Jason and Hercules separated, although they narrowly escaped the flood that swept through the mountains, all they did after that was float on the sea like dead fish until they reached Animusfia. He waited for others to arrive before speaking to others again.

Apart from asking him whether Hercules was holding the God of War Belt when he appeared this time, it was also unrealistic to know how many heroic spirits Hercules had defeated and how many Noble Phantasms he had obtained during this period.

What's more, Animusfia doesn't have time to ask Jason anymore.

Obviously they were not at the bottom of the sea, but as Hercules continued to advance, everyone present, including Animusfia, felt as if they were at the bottom of the sea and were under tremendous pressure.

Even breathing was difficult.

But that's not real pressure, otherwise they would have been pressed under the sea long ago.

However, the sea water that became thick and solidified under the influence of Animusfia's magic did not move at all.

It was as if there was nothing heavy on it at all.

"Senior! Are you okay?"

The concerned greeting from Mash made Animusfiya turn her head and look at Ritsuka who was standing next to her.

I saw that the girl who had been able to calmly command the battle and face Hydra before was now sweating continuously from her forehead as if she was in a steamer, and panting with all her strength.

"Director of Animusfia..."

The helpless Mashu raised his giant shield in the direction of the approaching Hercules and looked at Animusfia helplessly.

Although his Master is currently in danger, the threat of Hercules, who learned from Jason that he had switched sides with the gods and rebelled against humans, should not be underestimated.

Ma Xiu still knew which side to focus on first.

However, she was just on guard and did not choose to take action to seize the opportunity.

Arturia and the kobold "No. 2" holding Apollo in her arms were also on guard against Hercules, but neither of them launched an attack.

After all, although it was confirmed from Jason's mouth that Hercules had become an enemy, neither Matthew nor Arturia wanted to attack Hercules before he launched an attack.

As for what to do with his senior, Mashu can only place his hope on Animusfia. After all, he has never let anyone down, not even once.

Although she didn’t want to admit it, Mashu couldn’t deny the fact now——————She also began to rely on this person whose origin was unknown but who had almost given everything to Chaldea——no, had given everything. man.
