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

But just as he had that thought, a loud rumbling noise erupted from the cracks in the bridge piers beneath his feet. The road ahead also began to creak, and dense cracks spread out radially from both sides of the road...

No, Emiya felt something was wrong. Based on the demolition speed of this sea monster, it shouldn't increase so much suddenly.

Or were the sections they ran into just shoddy trench construction?

"Jump!"

Seeing that another section of the building was about to be completely destroyed by this giant, Emiya could only run wildly while repeating the same trick with Nono. According to his prediction, if they jumped over this section of the building at this height, they would still have time...

Rumble!

The road ahead, which was originally very close, suddenly shook violently. Before Emiya and the others could get close to the next section of the road, he saw the road ahead suddenly rise!

Oh no! In less than a second, the gap in the road quickly rose to a height higher than their jump. Emiya didn't have a built-in catapult like Mai Jude. If they continued like this and missed the road ahead, they would only fall into the sea.

He pulled out the Dragon-Breaking Platform at lightning speed, but the height of only half the sword blade could not reach the broken surface of the road that had been completely lifted up.

projection!

At this moment, Emiya immediately thought of his next response. A new blade grew directly from the broken half of the sword body. Emiya used the wide sword body and the instantly lengthened sword edge of the Dragon Broken Platform to insert the entire Dragon Broken Platform horizontally into the broken road surface that was about to cross!

Great, we've made it. Emiya let out a soft breath. The next step was to grab the broken piece and exert force with his arms to get himself and Nono, who was being pulled, onto the road...

Boom! The vibrations continued below them, leaving them no chance to breathe. The bridge piers were driven sideways by the immense force, and the entire road surface was forced to tilt to one side. Oops, the two of them were about to be dragged into the sea by the road!

At the critical moment, Emiya looked around and suddenly heard Nono beside him scream: "There is another sea monster...what is that!"

Emiya then looked down and saw a terrifying whirlpool-shaped abyss appearing in the distance next to the broken bridge pier. Fragments of nearby buildings collapsed into the sea, splashing water of varying sizes, and were sucked into the deep sea by the water flow generated by the whirlpool.

That was a soft-bodied sea monster with tentacles that had been destroying the road. The monster's body was always hidden beneath the sea and never revealed, but Emiya guessed it was a giant octopus or squid. The most famous of this type of fantasy species was the Kraken, the "Kraken" that appeared in Norse mythology.

But what caused them to fall into the sea was another one that crashed into the bridge pier...

This second sea monster has multiple huge snake-like heads and mottled scales covering its skin. The thickness of its snake body is not much different from that of the "Kraken" on the other side. In other words, the two are very similar in size.

Emiya took a closer look and saw that it had nine heads, which was very similar to the nine-headed Hydra in Greek mythology. Another characteristic of Hydra was its deadly venom.

When the road surface tilted and fell, the broken part of the bridge pier below was exposed, with a sticky, faintly yellow-green liquid remaining on it. The liquid quickly corroded the building materials of the bridge pier section, accompanied by a sizzling sound and a few tiny wisps of green smoke rising.

"It's Hydra!"

After observation, Emiya concluded that Hydra and Kraken were among the many mythical species. Besides the individuals that appeared in mythology, there must be many others alive. For example, the FA's lion Jie Jie Li once obtained a Hydra hatchling from the Clock Tower.

"hiss--!"

Hydra's snake head opened its huge bloody mouth, with half of its slender tongue sticking out. The fangs at the front of its upper and lower jaws flashed a translucent surface luster in the air, which was the highly toxic liquid secreted from its mouthparts.

Hydra's bright and clear snake eyes, as big as copper lamps, moved slightly, catching the falling prey. The snake tongue in front of its mouth moved more frequently, and at the same time, the snake body connected by multiple heads waded through the water rapidly, as if to participate in a hunting action that excited it.

Emiya moved his hand. Although he and Nono were falling in mid-air, they were not without a foothold. The complete Dragon-Breaking Platform held in one hand was now inserted into the broken section of the asphalt road.

"What should we do now!" Nono shouted while being pulled by him. The cold wind whistled past her, and she had to raise her voice while swinging her legs, as if she was trying hard to push off and climb up the broken road surface where they fell.

"Don't move! Just hold on to my hand and let me figure it out!"

Emiya reached out and swiftly pulled the Dragon Severing Platform's blade from beneath the asphalt. A surge of magical energy surged, infusing the blade with a high-pitched dragon's roar. The elemental currents instantly responded, converging and forming a lifelike dragon shape that swayed and soared.

He swung his sword and stretched out his arm. Just below him, he could see Hydra wading through the water, its head twisting excitedly and its poisonous fangs bared.

Watch out, Hydra, a sword technique that falls from the sky that you have never seen before!

Emiya continued to accumulate sword power, and the dragon shape flew and spun around the Dragon-Breaking Platform, becoming more and more solid, but he still allowed his body to fall from the air dozens of meters away.

Nono, who was standing next to him, held onto Emiya's other arm tightly, her face tense because of the cold sea breeze blowing in her face, but the clever Nono had already guessed Emiya's next move, her eyes flashing with interest.

call--

The elemental flow surging from the Dragon-Breaking Platform grew stronger and stronger, and the air it passed through was easily cut by the sword edge, causing a whistling gale.

Hydra finally realized that something was wrong. It originally planned to open its mouth and swallow the tiny prey, but the huge elemental flow coming towards it made it finally sense that this was not an ordinary prey but a dangerous hunter disguised as a weak existence.

High-end hunters often appear as prey.

I wonder if similar thoughts and judgments flashed through Hydra's nine not-so-smart heads, or if its nine heads needed to have a big quarrel with each other before they could reach a unanimous action?

In short, after a relatively short reaction time, it decided to "turn" its head immediately. The extremely long snake body twisted and turned, following the direction of its huge heads, and hurriedly planned to dive under the water.

Even so, the Hydra could not escape the disaster... because it did not know the specific information of the Dragon-Severing Platform - the attack of the Dragon-Severing Platform was not short-range, but a releasing type!

Therefore, the Hydra only had time to retract its head into the water before Emiya had already released the pent-up sword energy of the Dragon-Breaking Platform at a medium distance, and the high-pitched dragon roar finally sounded.

The roaring dragon-shaped figure rushed forward violently with sword energy!

Before the sword energy arrived, the accompanying strong wind had already blown open the wide water surface with a loud noise. The air waves blew an obvious concave hole in the water surface, exposing the thick and long snake body.

Next, the delicate scales covering the surface of the Hydra were cut by the sword airflow that arrived first, and then the dragon-shaped creature arrived with a wild roar, and its sharp claws and fangs that seemed to be dancing in elemental state continued to tear and expand the delicate wound.

Then, the boundless blue flames contained in the dragon shape exploded on the huge wound gushing blood, forming a punishment more terrifying than Hydra's poison—

Its thick outer muscle wall and long esophagus were burned by the unhindered high temperature. Even its super high self-healing ability was suppressed by the attachment and burning of the flames. The disgusting granulation tissue that had just grown out of the broken part turned into black ash in an instant.

Several good heads fell down along the burning cross-section of the neck and sank into the dark and deep water.

Chapter 100 woc, demon orchid!

After Shirou finished his strike, he followed up with another bone-chilling icy sword energy, which froze most of the headless Hydra's wet snake body, which was still twitching.

In this way, he took advantage of the situation to hug Nono, and they fell together on the floating ice block of the nine-headed Hydra's corpse that was swaying irregularly on the water.

The fresh chill under my feet was shocking, but the neck of the Hydra not far away was still burning fiercely. The blazing flames burned the broken end to dispel the dampness and coldness, and at the same time, there was a smell of meat.

Nuonuo's nose twitched slightly. The girl couldn't help but feel a twitch in her head when she smelled the scent, imagining what it would taste like if this mythical creature could be eaten.

Emiya pulled her hand, and Nono came back to her senses. She stepped on the huge, cold, floating corpse of the scaled snake beneath her feet and curled her lips, "Isn't Hydra a monster that even Hercules barely defeated? So weak?"

The next second she shut up. After all, Emiya even defeated Odin with great force, so what could a huge monster snake do to him?

"There's more than just this Hydra. The one Hercules killed is definitely not the same one as this one. They're just the same species in appearance, not in strength."

Emiya shook his head. The strength of the Phantasma was graded and each individual was different. Moreover, since the end of the Age of Gods, when the Phantasma retreated into the inner world, the remaining Phantasma on the surface had almost all "degenerated" in order to adapt to the laws.

"Now, we have to deal with the other one!"

Emiya saw tentacles faintly stirring the waves in the water across from the viaduct.

"Oh right, that monster should be even bigger than this Hydra," Nono said, staring closely at the fallen bridge piers in front of him and the still intact viaduct in the distance. "Generally speaking, the design standard for the height of viaduct piers is between fifty and one hundred meters, right?"

Nuonuo pointed to the height of the bridge piers remaining on the water surface, which seemed to be several dozen meters high.

In other words, the water depth in this place is only tens of meters at most. It is a deep water area for humans, but in front of a giant sea monster like the Kraken, it is just a small pond where you can only play in the water or a bathtub for taking a bath.

Emiya looked at the Kraken, who had never swam to the side of the viaduct, and said:

"It's probably because the terrain on both sides of the viaduct is completely different. There's a certain section where there's a true ocean environment, while on this side of the viaduct, the bottom is actually normal land, but now it's completely submerged by the flooding seawater."

There is not much point in discussing this. For two people without diving equipment, there is almost no difference between the depth of dozens of meters and the depth of the deep sea.

As the two were talking, the vast amount of water was suddenly pushed aside by the thick soft tentacles, setting off huge waves.

Huge waves came from the opposite side of a row of broken bridge piers. The Kraken clearly wasn't rushing in like its companions, seeking death. So far, except for a few tentacles that occasionally emerged from the water, most of its main body was hidden below the surface.

Relying on the same water flow manipulation ability as the white whale before, the Kraken swung its limbs in the deep sea, and the sea water rolled up. After a while, it became a raging wave that was enough to wash away Emiya and the remaining body of the Hydra.

The ripples of the rushing water spread out, and before the incoming waves arrived, the floating ice blocks the two men were standing on began to sway restlessly on the water's surface.

"This is too bad!" Nuonuo increasingly hated this state of being unable to keep her feet on the ground and playing in an away environment. She could do nothing at all.

Emiya raised the tip of the Dragon-Breaking Platform's sword high, gathering the sharp sword energy, but he was actually not sure if he could cut through the huge waves and ensure that both of them could still stand steadily in such an environment.

But it is more likely that the two of them will be washed away by a huge wave.

Nono understood Emiya's plan at a glance, but this was definitely not a very reliable plan. What they lacked now was the advantage or help of switching from playing away games to playing at home.

Otherwise, even if this giant squid is dealt with, the next one will still be difficult to deal with.

Suddenly, Nuonuo's ears moved, and she heard a girl's voice talking next to her.

No, there were no other girls around. Besides, I could hear that voice even if I covered my ears. It almost rang directly in my head.

"Full, full, full, full, full, full."

"The cycle repeats itself, and the next is five."

"However, when it is full, it is the time to discard it."

----

On the distant overpass, Xia Mi had a blank expression on her face as she recited the Heroic Spirit Summoning Words, which seemed so childish and gave her goosebumps, like a lecture:

"...When it is full, it is time to abandon it. I declare that you are in my hands, and my life is in your hands. Answer the call of the Holy Grail, if you wish to follow this will and this principle, then answer..."

Under the strong watch of Norton beside her, Xia Mi's words echoed around her word for word - of course it couldn't be wrong, otherwise Xia Mi felt that Norton beside her would turn against her if she mispronounced a syllable - at the same time, the formation used to summon heroic spirits also flowed with the glow of elements.

Enormous power was drawn from the Greater Holy Grail, connecting to the highest point in this world, the "Throne of Heroes" on the World Tree.

"...cross the Wheel of Restraint and emerge, Guardian of the Scales!"

The brilliant glow of the formation burst out, and various elemental flows were swept away like flying mist.

Wow! Xia Mi looked at this bunch of elemental special effects and then slightly changed her opinion of the lines. She thought that Norton still understood the sense of ritual. At least he was not a complete middle school student.

Even if you’re playing a game where random gacha prizes are drawn, there should be a waiting screen to arouse anticipation, right?

For example, if you draw a rare character... err, when you draw a rare Heroic Spirit, you can change the color of the summoning circle's elements to golden light, or even mix and match a few to create a rainbow light...

When Xia Mi thought of this, her train of thought became strange. She seemed to have accidentally discovered that she had the potential to be a genius planner.

"Huh? Why is there no movement?"

After waiting for a long time, Xia Mi didn't see any shadow emerging from the fog.

"The summoning failed?"

She looked at Norton suspiciously, and found that Norton shook his head firmly... Xia Mi felt that this was a kind of blind self-confidence to a certain extent, a mental victory of stubbornly sticking to one's own opinion even though he saw the mistake happening right in front of him...

"No, it must have been successful this time."

Norton's eyes swept back and forth between the Greater Holy Grail and the summoning circle. "The process of connecting to the Throne of Heroes is normal, and the response to the summoning is also normal. The only problem lies with the object being responded to."

After saying that, he glanced at Xia Mi who was unaware of anything.

"The one being responded to? Hey, hey, what do you mean by that?!"

Xia Mi's eyes widened. Wasn't this just beating around the bush... No, wasn't there something wrong with directly criticizing her?

You know, she recited the summoning words word for word, exactly as Norton asked! Now that there's a problem, she's saying it's her fault. What's wrong with you, Norton? How can you pass the buck like that?

Norton, who was thinking about a problem, saw that Xia Mi seemed to be angry with him, so he waved his hand calmly.

"Don't worry, I'm not talking about you. I mean, the person being responded to isn't you, but someone else."

"What's going on? Our summoning experiment has been exposed?" Xia Mi's first reaction was the little devil Lu Mingze, "Could it be him..."

"No, it was someone else. This was indeed an error I hadn't considered. After all, that person, like the Greater Holy Grail, naturally has higher authority than regular summoners."

----

At this time, the huge waves raised an increasingly high blue water curtain, which continuously swept the sea water and rushed over the bridge pier that had been cut in half. The latter was not even an obstacle to the former and was submerged in the vast water.

Emiya hurriedly used the sword energy of the Dragon-Breaking Platform to resist, but the surrounding water showed no sign of calming down. It would be a worse idea to burn it with blue flames or cool it with ice... unless they wanted to be killed by the icebergs they created or scalded by the high-temperature steam.

The inexplicable and vague chanting sound in Nuonuo's mind was still echoing, as if it came from a dream, spreading from the distant and ethereal void:

"I swear here that I am the one who accomplishes all good in the world, I am the one who transmits all evil in the world, and you are the Seven Heavens entangled with the three great word spirits..."

Damn! This is so annoying! They're both about to be knocked over by the surging waves, and why is there still someone muttering in their heads?

Nuonuo was very clear that her consciousness was still in a clear state. She was not in a state of "clairvoyance" at all. Where on earth did this weird sound come from?

She was about to curse in her heart, if you want to help, then come and help! If you don't want to help, then don't complain!

Snap! The magic power in the circuit instantly surged out, connecting to something in a certain direction. Nono, sensing the change in his body, was shocked. What was going on?

When Nono was confused and was about to ask Emiya for help, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

"...Servant, Lancer, Melyuchina, come as summoned!"

Silver-white hair spread out like fluttering snow, and a body covered in knight armor made of densely arranged dark scales, the petite girl with a unique presence appeared before her eyes as if she had crossed space.

Melyuchina turned her back to the huge tide that was about to surge over and stared at the two of them with an expressionless face.

She seemed unconcerned with the threat of the approaching wave.

She stretched out her hand and waved it backwards, releasing the dragon's magical power easily.

A huge amount of magic power radiated out like a shock wave, shattering the raging sea tide like a high wall.
