Next, Shen Er, what's your business?

Chapter 505 Holy Maiden VS Poison Woman
Alternate offense and defense.

Black must get the Great Grail back before it is taken from him.Red must hold the Grail before completely capturing it.

With the change of offense and defense, the situation has also reversed.The Mirenia Castle, which was originally known as an invincible fortress, has become a useless waste, and now it is the red side that controls the home court.

However, there is still another problem in the current situation.That is the existence of Ruler who is rushing towards this direction.It's just that the only ones who understand this are Semiramis, Shakespeare and their master, priest Shirou.

No matter the black side, the red side, or Joan of Arc—they all understand that this is completely a contest of time.In the few minutes before the Great Holy Grail was stripped of its veins and completely stored inside the Sky Garden, they had to fight desperately with all their might.

As the distance approached, Joan was further amazed at the floating treasure.Although there are not many Heroic Spirits with Anti-City Noble Phantasms powerful enough to destroy the castle, they still exist.But when it comes to heroic spirits who have the castle itself as a Noble Phantasm, the number should be quite small.

The only knowledge Joan of Arc can immediately associate with the fact that the castle exists as a Noble Phantasm is the Son of Light in Ireland.And that's only limited to the scope of his home country.

Not to mention the fortress floating in the air, it is almost equal to zero.And the most difficult problem now is that the owner of the floating fortress seems to have malice towards him.Although it has been a long circle, there are too many things that must be asked clearly from the red side.

--but.

Something fatal was going on, and it was even coming to an end—there was always this premonition in my heart.She forced these thoughts out of her mind, kicking off the wall of Mirenia Castle and galloping up desperately.

Through the big hole pierced by the Mirenia Castle next to it, you can see that the Great Holy Grail is slowly revealing its true colors.

"...it's unbelievable."

No wonder she would utter such a soliloquy.The sense of oppression that tightly binds the whole body is telling myself that it is the real Great Holy Grail.Incredible was the red side trying to drag it out.

Indeed, this is a war centered on the Great Holy Grail.However, that is usually after the end.Why are they so anxious to recover the Great Holy Grail when the balance of the war is still swaying violently?

I'm afraid that it's not the Red Fang's servants who are causing the problem, but their Master, and that's someone who deviates from the Magic Association's intentions—in all likelihood, it's the boy in the monk's uniform seen in the apocalypse.

When she first guessed this step, she had already reached the floating fortress.The water flows upstream, and the trees obviously grow not upward but downward.

"Reverse flow... Sky Garden...!"

"You're right, Ruler."

There was a mocking voice in my ear, and I looked at it in a blink of an eye.

A heroic spirit who possesses the Sky Garden as a Noble Phantasm, Jeanne knows two people.One of them is Nebuchadnezzar II, and the other is the legendary empress who spread the false fact that "built the sky garden" because the old inheritance was confused with historical facts.

The world's oldest assassin - Semiramis.

"Red Assassin... so it was you."

"That's right. Then, Ruler. Is there something going on in my garden? I shouldn't have done anything against the rules."

Maybe it was because of the dim lights, the dark and coquettish evening dress almost blended with the night.In Joan's view, that feeling was really weird.

"No, you did."

"Oh?"

Semiramis seemed interested.

"So, what rule do you say I violated?"

"If you can use your conscience to say that you have always followed the rules of the Holy Grail War——please let me meet your Master."

In an instant, Semiramis' eyes changed from ridicule to vigilance.

Seeing the change in her eyes, Joan knew that the clues she was looking for were completely correct.

"...Unfortunately, my Master is very busy right now. Besides, he is a very timid person, so no matter what, I can't let other servants meet him."

"That is to say, he is hiding in this garden."

Joan pointed out succinctly.

Semiramis has already entered the battle state, as if to stop her, the saint raised the holy flag and announced:

"You should know that's meaningless, Crimson Assassin."

"Well, I really can't break through your anti-magic power with my magic. Is this also one of the privileges of being a Ruler?"

"There are other privileges... Red Assassin, please don't force me to use this."

Joan of Arc's whole body exuded a faint blue light, and Semiramis had no choice but to frown.

"As the Ruler's greatest privilege, can you use Command Seals on all followers? It is indeed difficult, but even if you use up all the Command Seals, I have no intention of betraying the Master. If you give me orders with the Command Seals, the Master will also will be prevented."

"That means the Master is not a puppet?"

"If possible, I would like to turn him into a puppet, but even in this garden—forget it, it's useless to tell you these things, as long as you know that I won't betray him."

Hearing what Semiramis said, although Joan was a little puzzled, she still took a step forward and declared:
"Then, you are my enemy now."

At this stage, she finally identified the Crimson Assassin and her Master as definite enemies.

For Joan of Arc's declaration of war, she was as proud as an Assyrian empress, and she also showed a dignified expression.

Originally, Assassin's ability level is completely incomparable to that of Ruler, and the pairing of Magician and Ruler is also very deadly.Normally, even without Command Seals, it wouldn't take much time for her to defeat herself.

Fortunately, her master, Shirou, had already expected that she would be an enemy of Joan of Arc, and had already made preparations in advance.

"Oh, really. Am I your enemy? Then we can only try our best to defeat you."

As Semiramis said, he raised his left hand, overlapping his thumb and middle finger, making a gesture of rubbing.

However, Joan was even faster than her.

Although her martial arts skills are still far behind those heroes like Karna and Achilles who are proud of the age of gods, she is not an ordinary person.With a distance of less than three meters, she would not give Semiramis any chance to perform magic tricks.

The Holy Banner rolled in the wind, and before it was fully unfolded, the silver spear tip at the top had already been hit on the head—this is Joan of Arc's best attack method, and she named it "Apocalypse".

However, this inevitable blow did not land on Semiramis' head. The moment before the holy flag fell, a piece of black scale-shaped armor suddenly opened above Semiramis' head.

It was this piece of armor that blocked Joan's holy banner and gave Semiramis the chance to snap his fingers.

With a crisp sound, Semiramis' figure disappeared from the spot, leaving only a sigh of admiration.

"Should it be said that the saint is the saint? Even the 'Scale of the Divine Fish' can hardly resist—"

"The Scale of the God Fish", Semiramis manifested as the "divinity" of the demigod.

"Divinity" seems illusory and meaningless, but it is actually the root of many heroes' strength.People with "divinity" have a higher starting point than those without "divinity", and it is easier to stand out and become the focus of attention.This can be seen from the fact that most of the protagonists in various western legends are demigods.

Because the source of "divinity" is different, the power bestowed is also different.As the son of the sun god Surya, Karna got the iconic fire of the sun; not to mention Achilles, the immortal body blessed by his mother Theseus and the entangled ocean currents outside the "small world surrounding the sky" It is the best proof.

And Semiramis also got special abilities from the mother fish god Dilikit, and one of them is the scale armor of the god fish for defense.

"—I don't know how to face the real god fish?"

Joan frowned her delicate eyebrows, her sky-like eyes stared at her surroundings vigilantly.

Suddenly, behind her, the space vibrated like ripples, and a strange fish with a hideous face jumped out of it.

PS: Although "divinity" is always ridiculed as a useless skill, it actually plays a very important role. After all, no one can deny the power of blood.

PS2: Uh, I saw many book friends talking about the abuse of the master, so I would like to advise you to be calm.

First of all, every step Shirou takes has a deep meaning.

Secondly, this is only good for the second master, not bad.Suffering a little loss now is for better growth in the future——As the book friend tzuwei said, the second master went too smoothly before, but his mentality has not grown when his strength grows. The next step is Shen Er’s most important transformation, with With this transformation, Shen Er can really no longer rely on plot advantages and various cheats to become a real strong man.The protagonist feels depressed when he encounters setbacks, and then abandons the book. The traitor feels it is a pity, really a pity.
