The summer solstice is very decisive.
This decisiveness benefited from his previous prudence and vigilance.
From the beginning, he regarded Miss Sakura and the white-haired lolita as the biggest potential threats. He once wondered whether these two seemingly harmless girls were actually the masterminds behind the Holy Grail War. of……
Now it seems that such speculation may not be nonsense.
After all, the once powerful Gilgamesh had fallen.
But this Miss Sakura appears at the right time like the climax of a drama, just like the villain who lurked until the final chapter and was unveiled.
She has clearly seen such a situation, but she can still come forward casually. Faced with such a situation, instead of assuming that she is as arrogant as Gilgamesh, it is better to believe that she does have the confidence and strength.
In short, that is to say, she thought she could handle the summer solstice just now.
Of course——
After Xia Zhi made such a judgment, he decisively made the most correct decision. Perhaps he was a little hasty, and the heat to become an elixir was still a little short, but he could not take the risk and wait for a perfect moment to become an elixir.
Anyway, his body is in a huge state at this moment, and he can use this huge body to swallow the equally huge true elixir in one gulp...
After all, in the final analysis, even if the servant can materialize, his body is essentially a condensed form of magic power, which is not fundamentally different from the body of the guardian currently manifested through visualization in this field.
Whether it is ingesting the true elixir in the form of a Servant or devouring it in the form of a Guardian, the essence is the same.
Xia Zhi, who understood the meaning of this, resolutely chose to swallow the true elixir that was refined from the entire Great Holy Grail in its current form.
A golden elixir swallowed into the belly——
I realize that my destiny is up to me and not God! !
This sentence can be said to be most vividly reflected at this moment.
The full Great Holy Grail was completely smelted into a true elixir, which gathered the abundant earth spirit energy accumulated by the dragon veins for sixty years. Its power was unparalleled.
At this moment——
The extremely majestic energy essence carried by the true elixir exploded like a volcano.
Xia Zhi experienced that his form was condensing and solidizing at an unprecedented speed. As a magical entity, under the continuous infusion of huge energy, he was undergoing rapid transformation visible to the naked eye.
The vast and pure power of the source did not even need to be transformed before it was directly transformed into usable magic power. At this moment, he felt that his power was soaring at a terrifying speed, reaching an unprecedented level of tyranny. degree.
However, the excessive overflow of magic power was also huge, and he felt a little out of control.
This is natural, after all, the Great Holy Grail is actually a super-high-level magic heart.
It is no longer a question that humans can understand what kind of magical power Xia Zhi will have if she refines this extra-high-level magic heart into a pill and swallows it in one gulp.
And similarly, it is not that simple to control magic power on this scale.
"..."
"..."
The purple-haired girl, no, now the silver-haired girl stopped, her empty eyes seemed to have some emotion reappearing.
Her expression quickly turned gloomy, as if a storm was about to come, and the blackening magic lingering around her was spreading and expanding like a low-pressure area that could be felt by the naked eye, just like the negative emotions were embodied in entities, and they were so thick that they seemed to overflow at any time. limit.
She stared closely at that stalwart figure that should not exist, without making a sound, saying a word or making any movement.
but……
Perhaps as if reflecting the girl's heart, a group of black shadows appeared suddenly and continuously in the surroundings at this moment.
These black shadows are like two-dimensional paper-cut phantoms leaping out of the three-dimensional space. They are exactly the same as the previous black shadows, like jellyfish rising from the ocean to the land, but the size is obviously larger than before.
——If they were still the size of ordinary people before, now they have generally expanded to a towering height of more than ten meters.
——Even if three Heracles were stacked on top of each other, they probably wouldn't be able to match the height of these "shadow giants" in front of them.
It's just that because it seems to have no thickness, it is as thin as a piece of paper and looks like a two-dimensional giant. These summoned black shadows look somewhat funny. If not every one of them exudes extremely ominous magic power, there probably won't be many of them. A sense of intimidation.
And in the blink of an eye, these shadow giants rising from the darkness and shadows had quietly surrounded the remaining defense lines in front of Liudong Temple, aiming at Medea and Al without hesitation. Tolia launched a joint attack.
The expressions of both of them changed slightly at the same time.
The silver-haired girl across from him was still confronting the guy, but she quietly turned around and attacked them directly?
——What is this thing called?
However, even though she was a little shocked, Artoria's first reaction was urged by her hardened battlefield experience. She immediately raised the holy sword in her hand, and her eyes instantly became sharp.
Medea was even more direct, without hesitation at all. With a wave of the tin staff in her hand, she instantly released countless light bullets that were comparable to great magic, and they hit the huge black shadows like falling stars.
However, even with such a fierce and intensive attack pouring down, the encirclement formed by the shadow giants remained unmoving, still squirming and approaching quickly, and they even touched and merged with each other——
It was as if they had merged into a large, airtight black bowl, directly enveloping the two servants.
There was a faint light flickering between the gaps, but in the blink of an eye, even these gaps were sewn shut, as if they were suppressed along with the resistance.
After just one encounter, two more riding servants were about to be caught off guard.
Boom——! !
Without warning, a shining beam of light split the thick night in half, like thunder falling from the sky. The moment it was sighted, it hit and tore the target accurately.
It penetrated several "shadow giants" forcefully and tore a gap in the encirclement.
The rumbling sound was like dull thunder, rolling across the earth.
The shock wave that broke through the air caused waves of scorching heat. It took several seconds for the scorching afterimage in the air to slowly disappear.
"Quick! Let's get out of here!"
Artoria's reaction was extremely quick. As soon as she saw the encirclement formed by the shadow giants being torn apart, she immediately decisively chose to break out.
"Is this...a curse bullet?"
Although Medea reacted immediately, she was still somewhat surprised and confused.
With the eyesight of a magician from the Gods, she naturally immediately recognized the essence of the beam just now. It was simply a very ordinary curse bullet. Its essence was just a curse that destroyed health, but if the concentration of magic power was high, it could directly cause physical damage.
But...how high must the concentration of magic power be to produce such a railgun-like effect?
Even if Medea came by herself, there was no way she could do it.
The only possibility is... the bright light that the guy just swallowed is definitely the source of magic power that made the Great Holy Grail!
The Greek witch couldn't help but grit her teeth and glared in the direction of the sky angrily. She had noticed something was wrong when the magic storm started, and she immediately realized that the guy had lied to her.
Otherwise, the back-up preparation will only directly detonate the entire Yuanzang Mountain.
Instead of inspiring that kind of magical storm.
Although she didn't know what was going on, Medea still understood that that guy definitely took advantage of her. But at that time, she was suppressed by Gilgamesh's Rain of Noble Phantasms, and she didn't have any extra energy to think too much.
——It was only now that Miss Witch realized the truth.
"Don't leave!!"
Seeing the prey escaping right before her eyes, the silver-haired girl's expression suddenly became more gloomy, and she subconsciously wanted to urge the shadow giants to pursue her.
However, immediately after, there was another loud bang, and the shining magic beam struck again, directly tearing apart the obstacle in front of Artoria and the two of them, and directly evaporating several shadow giants who had just appeared.
Of course, Xia Zhi knew what Miss Sakura wanted to do. It seemed that as long as she successfully preyed on the servants and absorbed the Servant's soul, her functions would be greatly increased.
Frankly speaking, he and the other party should be sympathetic to each other at this point. He eats the Holy Grail, and the other party eats the Servants. To a certain extent, it's almost like heroes have the same views, and they don't intend to behave themselves anyway. Conduct the Holy Grail War.
But there is no way, now the other party is obviously the enemy.
There is no doubt that what the enemy wants to do is what he must destroy...
So Xia Zhi tried to control the terrifying magic power that was so huge that it was going berserk, while using the simple offensive magic he learned from Vivian, shooting out spell bullets like laser cannons from his fingertips, and the beam of magic light pierced the sky. .
He has only learned some basic general-purpose magic so far, and very few can be directly used in combat. However, the huge magic power surging in his body at this moment is his absolute confidence at this moment.
Because for a magician, magic is resources and ammunition.
If you have nearly unlimited magic resources, for a magician, it is like having huge wealth——
It's similar to how you can do whatever you want if you have money, except that magic power is more versatile than money. A magician can achieve many things with magic and perform various results called "miracles". It can be said that the more magic resources he has, the closer he is to omnipotence.
Just like the so-called Holy Grail, in the final analysis its essence is a high-density magic crystal. Why can it fulfill wishes?
It is because it possesses almost infinite magic power. If this magic power falls into the hands of a magician, almost anything is impossible.
Using terrifying magic power to promote low-level magic, bursting out with astonishing lethality, he easily helped two colleagues or former colleagues escape from the predicament, while continuing to pay careful attention to Miss Sakura's actions.
Prevent the opponent from suddenly throwing out any particularly outrageous and scary trump cards.
However, it seems that the girl has not used any other tricks except constantly summoning the shadow giant.
Seeing that the situation seemed to be losing hope, she even began to bite her lower lip unwillingly. Her empty eyes were trance-like and lost their highlights, and she subconsciously muttered to herself "This is not fair-" or something like that.
etc……
Could it be that she also has huge power but lacks specific attack skills? !
An inexplicable thought flashed through Xia Zhi's mind. He originally thought that the enemy that appeared at the end should be one that was particularly powerful and difficult to deal with. He might have either a heaven-defying skill or a heaven-defying mechanism, or even a second-level enemy. The transformed super BOSS...
Is this the result?
Not quite convinced of such a conclusion, he narrowed his eyes slightly and no longer just observed cautiously. Instead, he stretched out his fingertips directly towards the girl below, preparing to directly test the opponent's possible trump card with an attack.
The magic power condenses instantly...
Then it burst out! !
The huge laser is like cutting the air, instantly piercing the huge shadow blocking the front. Even if it is made of black mud and appears through the girl's special physique, the shadow of the Holy Grail can hardly block this powerful shot. Miracle attack.
It's not a Noble Phantasm or a Servant's skill...
It’s pure magical violence!
"cherry--!!"
Panting, Tohsaka Rin had just trudged all the way across the mountain path from the middle of the mountain and rushed to the top of the mountain again. What he saw was such a cruel scene, the moment when the magic laser that cut through the night penetrated the body of the silver-haired girl.
She couldn't believe that this would be the result, and she almost collapsed and rushed over.
"Master, don't be careless!" Fortunately, Artoria, who had just retreated here, had quick eyesight and quick hands, and grabbed Tohsaka Rin.
The swordsman girl also didn't believe that the girl who seemed to be the villain BOSS who appeared at the end could be eliminated so easily. Not only did she think it was impossible intellectually, but her intuition also gave a faint warning.
The next scene seemed to confirm her ominous premonition.
Even though he was penetrated by a huge magic spell bullet, he didn't fall down like that. He even stood there with blank eyes. Contrary to her unruffled eyes, Sakura's expression became extremely unstable, as if she was gritting her teeth in resentment.
It was as if she heard someone urging and bewitching her over and over again.
"Don't hesitate..."
"Stop having false hopes..."
"Even now, are you still unwilling to accept all my power..."
Sakura opened her mouth, but didn't say anything. She slowly turned her head and looked at Rin Tohsaka who appeared over there. Looking at the emotional face and eyes full of concern, she suddenly felt a sting in her heart. !
Meaningless!
It’s completely meaningless! What on earth are you still hoping for, what are you still praying for!
No one will really hear your cry for help, and no one can truly empathize and understand your pain and resentment! ! Even my former sister would not understand, and would never understand——
The more I see her caring, the more I resent it!
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--!!"
She opened her mouth and let out a meaningless scream. The girl's emotions collapsed completely like a dam bursting, and she wanted to vent all her resentment and darkness.
At this time, everyone could see that her body had clearly been penetrated, but there was no big bloody hole.
Instead, a "hole" appeared...
It seems like a hole connecting to the outside of the world...
This is Sakura, the Holy Grail, about to reveal her true nature. After all, she is the instrument of the Holy Grail, and the so-called Holy Grail is indeed a fixed device in a sense, trying to fix the "hole" leading to the outside of the world... There is something that wants to be born here from that side. World.
