They've already fought their way through the Holy Grail War, and you still call them dragons?

The sound was deep and vast, unlike that of rivers and lakes. The sound of waves in rivers is mostly caused by the rapid impact of water on the riverbank or rocks. Due to the uneven riverbed and the speed of the water, the sound is sharp and frequent.

The sound that Nuonuo heard now seemed deeper, sometimes accompanied by the sound of bubbles bursting. It was like the sound of waves heard on an open coastline!

There is no ground under the elevated road, but it has turned into a vast and boundless ocean. This is not an elevated road at all, but more like a cross-sea bridge!

"Projection, start."

Emiya, standing by, seemed to have a premonition. He was using the masked figure from their last encounter at the aquarium as a reference, and referring to the abilities he had displayed, to predict his next move with his mind. If this were the case...

The other party will use the waves to push himself, Nono and the car into the sea!

The car window rolled down quickly, Emiya took out the black bow, put a sword on it and shot it out. With a whoosh, the ancient sword flew diagonally into the sky and began to radiate the light of a treasure.

At the same time, terrifying waves really surged out from the side of the elevated road. Generally speaking, there would be signs of such huge waves, but at this moment, the waves suddenly rushed out from below for no reason, like the calm sea surface one moment and then roared violently the next, suddenly showing their sharp teeth and claws to attack the mortals on the road.

Boom!

The treasure stirred up a transparent hurricane of sword energy above, and the oncoming waves, which were strong enough to wash away the entire road, were cut off horizontally by the sharp sword wind in the blink of an eye. However, the water flow continued to rise violently, as if it would not stop until it washed them into the sea.

After Emiya successfully bought time, Nono stepped on the accelerator again. The Ferrari's engine roared as if it was squeezed to the limit. It drove across the road as fiercely as red lightning and rushed out of the range of the wave at the fastest speed ever of this Ferrari.

"..."

The sound of massive water crashing down and hitting the road heavily soon fell behind the two of them.

Nuonuo seemed to take a deep breath. She stared closely at the changes in the surrounding environment. This place couldn't be entirely ocean. Since Jiude Mai said that her teammates could drive on the road, it meant that there must be a land environment!

"it's not finished yet."

Emiya reminded him from the side, and he was preparing to draw his bow and sword again.

Boom!

This time, the white waves were even more rampant and emerged on both sides at the same time. Emiya's hands were so fast that he shot out one after another.

The bright light released by the Noble Phantasm, accompanied by a violent storm of whistling sword blades, swept across from the sky ahead, cutting the waves into pieces like fine noodles.

The waves broke, carrying white foam flying across the sky, mixed with a few blood flowers falling from the sky, bits of flesh and a few huge green corpses.

Hmm? What is that?

Emiya's eyes widened. He really didn't expect that firing a few more shots would yield any other results.

As the Ferrari gradually approached, the two people in the car gradually distinguished from the scattered pieces of chopped flesh that it was a huge unknown species that looked like a sea snake.

To be more precise, it feels like a combination of an anaconda and a sea snake, with dark blue skin covered with thick scales, and densely packed spines all over the back. Some have broad membranous wings in the middle of the body, and some have short and sturdy limbs.

What they all have in common is their open, sharp mouths filled with rows and rows of teeth, stacked from the outside in. When they open straight ahead, they resemble flowers made of pure white bone, blooming in an exquisite fractal structure.

Nuonuo gasped. She felt a chill run down her spine as she took one look at the mouthparts made up of sharp teeth. It was simply made for devouring all kinds of food. "...What a weird monster."

"...It feels like some kind of magical beast." When Emiya shot them with his Noble Phantasm, there was no major obstruction or resistance. If they couldn't even reach this level, they couldn't be fantasy species at the level of mythical beasts.

(In the Type-Moon worldview, fantasy species are ranked from low to high: Magical Beasts → Fantasy Beasts → Divine Beasts; Dragon species are generally classified separately.)

The engine roared and the car continued to carry the two forward, but this time there was a sudden sound of water coming from the front.

"...Here we go again!" Nuonuo looked unusually annoyed. Using the same trick many times would also be annoying.

Those rising tides were back again, this time splashing onto the road ahead of them!

bass!

This time, Emiya directly pulled out the Dragon-Severing Platform, with half of the sword sticking out from the car window, and swung it forward. A transparent sword energy whizzed forward, and with the initial speed of the car, it formed an extremely fast invisible blade, easily cutting through the strange snakes in front that were pouring into the road along with the sea water.

Boom!

With another wave of his hand, Emiya partially released the Dragon Severing Platform, urging it to shoot out pale blue flames. These flames were thrown into the air in a radial form, like curtains of flame falling.

The direction of the fall was a large amount of sea water rushing towards Ferrari.

A fierce conflict between water and fire occurred. Shirou immediately put away the Dragon-Severing Platform and rolled down the car window again. The high-temperature blue flames in front had already heated up countless seawater and evaporated it rapidly.

This phenomenon occurred in just a short period of time. A dense stream of water vapor exploded from this huge physical reaction and spread explosively in all directions, forming a white fog.

Afterwards, the Ferrari passed through this artificially created white fog landscape without any nostalgia.

Nuonuo's eyes suddenly lit up, "I see land!"

In other words, if we go further, we should be able to reach the ramp that will take us off the elevated road. Although I really want to complain about how bizarre it is that this elevated road has been transformed into a cross-sea bridge...

Feeling a bit more cheerful, Nuonuo had no time to complain. She was only thinking about getting away from the viaduct where waves and monsters were constantly jumping up and down. Besides, fighting on land was always much easier than fighting at sea.

However, Emiya didn't think so. Judging from the characteristics displayed by the masked man, he would only try his best to keep both of them in the ocean environment.

Emiya's ears moved, and he opened the car window and continued to listen to the sounds under the overpass... It seemed like there was still a tide rising, but it was mixed with strange "bang bang bang" collision sounds.

The vehicle continued to move forward, and the banging sounds quickly intensified. The two men immediately knew what was happening. Something with incredible power was hitting the overpass, and they could actually feel a noticeable vibration on the bridge!

The car was almost shaken into the air or shifted briefly, causing it to move closer to the edge of the overpass, which allowed Emiya to see the huge black shadow emerging from the sea.

This is a white sperm whale with a streamlined body. Generally, sperm whales grow to a little over 20 meters in length, but its body length far exceeds this range. The part exposed above the water alone is more than 100 meters long.

Those twenty-meter-long sperm whales are just tiny subjects in front of this white giant, and the pure white whale is like the king commanding the whale group.

The white whale was ramming towards the ramp support they had not yet reached. Every impact caused the bridge piers to be obviously cracked or even tilted. Some road surfaces were almost overturned by the shaking, and some road surfaces had already begun to tilt. If they allowed it to continue ramming like this, the way to the land for Emiya and the others would be completely cut off!

However, before the two could react, the white whale immediately let out a melodious and loud cry. The sound was ethereal and extremely beautiful, like a lonely song.

But that's not actually whale song.

That is a decree from the King of Water.

As the whale's song echoed, the surging tide, centered on it, surged from the previously calm sea surface, transforming into a massive wave that barreled towards the viaduct! It turned out that the one who had been antagonizing Emiya and the others was a giant white whale!

Its abilities are exactly the same as those of the previous masked man (Leviathan)!

A massive wave of water crashed against the entire ramp section of the viaduct, soaking and washing everything from the road surface to the bridge piers. The cracked road surface shook violently, even reaching Emiya, causing the entire car to shake. Even in this situation, it was difficult for him to steady himself and draw his bow.

But the melodious whale calls continued over there, and it seemed that the big whale was still exerting some power.

The answer came in the next moment - the inrushing sea water and the crashing waves, along with an invisible spreading wave, gradually turned into a snow-white world of ice crystals and ice flowers.

The entire ramp, along with the surging water, was frozen by an extremely cold breath.

The white whale that froze everything ended its whale song. It immediately dived into the water again, dived, turned, swam faster, charged, surfaced, and crashed into the overpass at high speed!

Boom!

The collision between the giants produced a resounding crash, and the ramp and the bridge piers were violently smashed into pieces, then collapsed and shattered...

The once sturdy bridge structure now seemed as fragile as if it were made of crushed ice. A single push from the invisible hand of extreme cold would automatically disintegrate it. Furthermore, this extremely cold aura once again matched the condition of the masked man (Leviathan).

Chapter 95 Little Devil: I have an opinion

Nono slammed on the brakes, and the red Ferrari was forced to stop on a section of the road that was still intact.

"Is this true? It turns out the only thing causing trouble in this damn place is a giant whale?"

Nuonuo felt they were very close to the truth. This whale, capable of triggering massive tidal waves, must be the cause of the "tsunami" Jude Mai and her teammates had mentioned. It was likely that the trapped group, in their moment of emergency, had mistaken this phenomenon for a tsunami.

"It's obvious there's more than that!" Emiya felt that no matter how he looked at it, there was a masked man in the final stage hiding somewhere waiting for them.

I just don’t know why the masked man didn’t just jump out this time.

"It's too early to talk about this now. The road ahead has been blocked. We have to think about how to get through it."

The two had to leave the vehicle that had become useless...

After all, they couldn't drive back, and turning around wouldn't necessarily allow them to get out again from the entrance. Moreover, if the beluga whale repeated its old tricks and continued to move in this direction along the ramp that had already been cleaned out, then their hope of reaching land would become increasingly slim.

Emiya and the other man walked to the front end of the road. A few meters ahead was the part that was frozen and broken, but from this distance they could already see the huge white whale swimming and hovering in the water ahead.

As if following some kind of order, they blocked them from going ashore.

"..." Looking at the large, bright, and slowly moving target, Emiya raised his black bow in silence, put on the projected pseudo-noble phantasm, and then aimed.

It is said that this white whale is now floating up and swimming around without diving into the water again.

Didn’t the masked man tell it to be on guard against his fantasy destruction bomb?

With a whoosh, several brilliant streaks of light—the Pseudo-Seven-Star Dragon Abyss—pierced through the atmosphere and shot towards the giant white whale.

----

"Oh, it's easy with the 'mark'. I just had to follow him a little and sneak in!"

Just as Emiya and the others were facing the giant whale, Xia Mi and Norton also followed them into the Zero Overpass and sneaked into Nibelungen.

The two Dragon Kings didn't need any means of transportation, they just ran and caught up.

Xia Mi strode forward as if she was on a picnic or shopping, but unfortunately the surrounding environment was so gray and dull that it was depressing. Coupled with the wind and rain, there was nothing that could be called a scenic spot.

"Don't just sit there pretending to be stunned. We need to confirm the situation of this Nibelungen."

Norton hadn't been treating his sister well recently because she couldn't keep up with his research progress at all, which resulted in most of the work having to be done by him alone.

"...There's something wrong with this Nibelungen. Normally, the original controller should be Odin, but now there's Leviathan."

"Right, right, right," Xia Mi looked at the sea below the viaduct. "How can there be an ocean underneath the viaduct? It must be Leviathan making some crazy modifications."

"It certainly seems so, but unfortunately you're not right."

Norton sighed softly, not caring at all about Xia Mi's face darkening from being slapped in the face. "This isn't a transformation. Leviathan has 'grafted' the Nibelungen from elsewhere using the method of 'space opening'."

"Has Leviathan's alchemy reached this level?!"

Xia Mi was shocked when she heard this.

How could this be? If Leviathan also applied alchemy to this level, what would she do? Wouldn't she, the King of the Earth and the Mountains, be ranked last among the Four Great Monarchs?

How could she possibly maintain her dignity? Could it be that she could only regain her sense of superiority by descending from the next generation below her?

"uncertain."

Norton's next sentence made Xia Mi breathe a sigh of relief. Although Norton usually looked disappointed with Xia Mi, his academic attitude was very rigorous and reassuring.

"The alchemy array for the space opening can be set up in advance. All we need to do is hand over the 'key'—that is, the control—to Leviathan and let him operate it... Basically, as long as we have enough basic common sense and the desire to do it... anything we have hands will do it."

This time, Xia Mi's ears felt itchy.

"As long as you have hands" has become Norton's catchphrase recently, to express that he thinks something is not difficult at all. However, every time Xia Mi heard it, she couldn't help but realize that this was Norton mocking the fact that he was a "poor student" in alchemy.

She now had to ask cautiously, "But if the master of this Nibelung is Odin, can Leviathan be controlled easily? I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

"My sister, you finally hit the nail on the head this time," Norton's tone was like a teacher seeing a student who usually scored zero points suddenly get an unprecedented 10 points on the test, with a hint of relief.

"That's right. If Leviathan wants to control this Nibelungen that doesn't belong to him, or even connect to other Nibelungen dimensions, he needs the 'key' bestowed by Odin, plus his own full control."

"In other words, only he himself—a Dragon King-level true form—can do it. Even a puppet won't do. Therefore, we can assume that Leviathan's true form is still somewhere, hiding itself and operating 'space opening'."

"Until this delicate work is completed, we, and those humans who intrude upon this place, will not be attacked by Leviathan itself."

Norton snapped his fingers. "Well, we finally caught a good opportunity."

The moment the snapping sound was heard, tall flames shot out from the position beside him. A bound crystal coffin - the container of Frigga Zero - quietly appeared as the flames rose, as if it had come from across a distant space.

At the same time, another coffin appeared, containing the sleeping Melyuzina.

"One Melyuchina is not enough. Our system requires more 'Heroic Spirits'."

The two Dragon Kings gazed into the distance, and Xia Mi responded softly, "Yes, we have really seized the opportunity this time."

At the end of the sea, in the white horizon, an ancient, decayed, black ship is emerging. It is dilapidated and cracked like a dead person's fingernails, and it carries a large number of skeleton zombies shaped like corpse guards, with faint ghost lights dancing in its empty eye sockets.

It was just like the army of the dead marching towards the world of the living as described in Norse mythology.

The scenes in the myth actually came into reality.

"I see," Norton seemed to suddenly realize.

"No wonder Leviathan is so on high alert. He's trying to graft not just his own Nibelung, but many others as well... Ha, is he trying to gather the power of all the Nibelungs to eliminate all intruders in one fell swoop?"

Norton looked at the approaching army of the dead as if he were looking at a table full of delicious food.

"That wouldn't be easy at all," Xia Mi's face looked alert and serious.

"We can easily harvest this wave of dead bodies and add to our reserves of the Throne of Heroes, but if those dragon servants who have hatched into mature dragon bodies come in later—those true retainers who follow Odin and Leviathan—they will not submit to us."

"Relax, we only take what we need. Don't worry about the rest. It's enough to deal with Leviathan itself. As long as he loses the 'key', all the grafted Nibelungs will become nothing. Besides, we are not without new power."

Norton looked at Melyuchina next to Frigga Zero. "It just so happens that I've already completed the design. The reconstruction and resummoning experiment of 'Heroic Spirit No. 1' Melyuchina can be completed today."
