Chapter 498 Capture the Holy Grail
Where is the strongest point of the EX rank anti-world Noble Phantasm "Vanity's Sky Garden"?

Different people will give different answers to this question.

Shakespeare would have no doubts that this is a wonderful landscape between the real and the unreal.

Heroes like Karna and Achilles would come up with answers like fully functional, powerful air fortresses.

Semiramis took it for granted that this was her own territory, where she could maximize her strength, and here she would not lose no matter how powerful the enemy was.

Shirou's answer is different from everyone else - the Sky Garden itself.

That's right, it has nothing to do with the scenery, nor its strategic role as a fortress, nor is it the liberation of Semiramis' power, it's just the behemoth floating in the air itself.

The sky garden is not realized out of thin air, but restructured and reconstructed based on real materials.It is like a worker building buildings from existing materials.Although the reinforced concrete that integrates the building materials depends on the magic of Semiramis, the other building materials are your real existence, with unshakable physical characteristics and in accordance with the laws of physics.

As for the amount of building materials, among other things, Shirou has stayed in the Middle East for decades and spent enough money to buy a small country, which can explain everything.Aggregating and reorganizing these materials into a whole and suspending them in the air is a powerful mass weapon in itself.

If he hadn't taken into account the emotions of Semiramis and other heroes, plus some unknown considerations, he wouldn't have wasted so much time fighting this meaningless war, directly flying the dragon... ahem, riding a face in the courtyard That's it.

Suppressing it by several times the quality of the city of Mirenia is absolutely devastating. No matter how much Black struggles, he can't resist the strongest blow in the true sense.Maybe the servants won't die, but when the master dies, they don't have much time.

Of course, now we can only do it step by step, at best it is waste utilization, a small test.

Looking at the mess on the screen, Shirou asked with a smile, "How are you doing, are you feeling better?"

"It's better... Well, I thought it would take some time to destroy that fortress, but now it's much easier. I thought it could only be solved with Lancer's treasure..." Sai Mila The chill on Mies' body subsided slightly.

"Anyone else back? Soon to—"

Before Shirou could finish speaking, a person answered:

"I'm back, I'm back, really, I finally had a good time but I was interrupted by you, and I couldn't give me a satisfactory explanation. I want you to look good."

The one who can speak in this tone is naturally the wild and unruly Achilles.

"Watch your tone, rider!" Semiramis said coldly.

"How about this tone, my uncle?" Achilles squinted his eyes and looked at him without giving in.

"Do you want to die?"

"I don't know who died."

Achilles showed a maniacal smile, and gestured to Semiramis to wipe his neck.

The Empress was already in a bad mood, so excited, she immediately stretched out her right hand to weave the spell.Fortunately, Shirou saw the sign and grabbed her wrist in time.

"Aassassin, now is not the time for infighting, the overall situation is the most important thing."

On the opposite side, Atalanta winked at Achilles: "You can also stop in moderation."

Only then did the two snort coldly, look away from each other, and stopped talking.

Shirou took advantage of this gap to explain: "Everyone has worked hard, and I know that everyone's boiling blood has not calmed down—it's okay, just bear with it a little bit, and we will fight again soon. But this time, it's not us who attack, but They attack and we defend."

Atalanta asked puzzledly: "Defense? What's going on? Is this related to our approach to that fortress? Are you going to kill the enemy's master directly?"

While speaking, the sky courtyard has been moving, and it has reached directly above the city of Mirenia.

"Of course not, I have only one purpose of waiting, to let them return the Great Holy Grail."

For a moment, all the servants present fell silent. Rider and Archer looked at each other, even Lancer looked at Shirou with a surprised expression.

"You said you want them to return it? No, having said that... how do you return it?"

"Assassin."

"I know!"

Semiramis pointed impatiently at the floor.

"The reason why this hanging garden floats in the air is entirely based on the concept called 'reverse'. Plants will grow downward, and water always flows from bottom to top."

The garden came to a halt above the Milenia Walled City.If the residents of Tulifas looked up and saw the night sky, they might have a nervous breakdown because of this huge garden that even the moonlight was covered.

"Look carefully, you little magicians. This is the true realm of magic."

Semiramis calmly announced, spread out his hands and released the spell.

Boom—a strong wind began to blow from the bottom of the garden.The airflow, which was similar to a tornado, was connected to the city wall like some kind of pipe.

"Hey, hey...Could it be—are you really planning to take it?"

Witnessing such a magnificent scene, Achilles forgot his fighting spirit for a moment.

Semiramis, who was concentrating on performing magic, sneered contemptuously.

"Of course! Because this garden is designed for this! You are really ignorant who can't even see this. Okay, come out to me right away, Great Holy Grail! Let me see your god-like An ugly yet beautiful figure constructed by magic!"

The soil began to crumble and was gradually absorbed.Two-thirds of the walled city had been destroyed, and the exposed rocky sites were gradually shattered, and the Great Holy Grail finally revealed its true colors.

"That—is the Great Holy Grail...?"

Atalanta said to herself with a dumb expression.With near-hawk-eye vision, she did see the Great Grail below.But that wasn't what really shocked her.

Not only her, but even Karna, Achilles and Shakespeare were stunned.The huge, colorless and transparent magical power that has been accumulated for more than 60 years, is absolutely unchanged, and is now swirling there.

"That's the Holy Grail...! So good! That's so good! So good! So good, so good, so good!! The overwhelming magic that even I can feel from here! Let me I have the urge to jump in and indulge in it, and even desire to integrate with it! Obviously so, the exposed human body-like ugliness! As the saying goes, 'clean is dirty, and dirty is clean'!"

Shakespeare uttered a cry of passionate joy.

If it is the Great Holy Grail, as long as the wish is not too large, it is indeed not too much to call it the "universal wish machine".It was only natural that their followers became so excited.

"...Hmph, is it completely combined with the spirit vein? It will take a certain amount of time to separate it. But, you can't just sit idle like this. It's coming, everyone."

There was no need for Semiramis' reminder, everyone present had noticed this change.In order to prevent the grabbing of the Great Holy Grail, Black's servants rushed over one by one.

"I must focus on the Great Holy Grail for the time being, and leave the rest to you. If you don't make it through this time, your wishes will come to naught. Be careful, okay?"

Hearing her words with a mocking smile, the Greek duo retorted with unabashed hostility:
"——I don't say this, but I know it. But you must not fail."

"I will naturally do what I have to do, and I don't need you to point me here."

Despite bearing such obvious hostility, Semiramis still maintained a calm posture, confident of victory.

However, it didn't take long for the calmness on her face to disappear.

PS: Semiramis can't lose against any enemy in the sky garden, but she just thinks, at least she can't win Winky and Laer.Shining Mushroom's son, let alone the infinite possibilities, EA alone estimates that the courtyard may not be able to resist.Needless to say, besides being immovable, the tomb is stronger in offense and defense than the courtyard (Dendra's electric ball is stronger than the magic cannon, and it is more powerful against the solemn defense of the temple shell than the courtyard). Bo can kill the empress.
