I don't want to be a heroic spirit

"So, this Noble Phantasm belongs to that vicious woman?"

Artoria and Jeanne turned around and saw Mordred and the Lion Jie Jie Li approaching.

The scrapped car had been abandoned, although Mordred felt it was a pity.

Lion Jie Jie Li and Mordred have both met Amakusa Shiro Tokisada and his servant Semiramis. It can be said that they did not leave a good impression on each other when they first met.

So, of course they knew that the Red Team's Assassin was not Hassan the Serenity, but they had no obligation to remind the Black Team. After all, they were still members of the Red Team.

Chapter 226 Shoot it down here

Looking at the hanging garden from afar, Mordred closed his eyes, felt it for a moment, and then opened them again.

"That's right, the Holy Grail is on that thing, which means..."

"Is the Greater Holy Grail in Father Shiro's possession now?"

Lion Jie Jie Li's face looked a little unhappy.

Although he and Amakusa Shiro Tokisada were both on the red side, the relationship between them was no different from a break.

Fiore and Gold were not here. They must have returned to the castle to check on the casualties.

Especially the Servants and Masters. After all, every Servant is an important fighting force. The Black Side will naturally plan to recapture the Holy Grail, and to do this, it is necessary to gather as many Servant-level fighting forces as possible.

Artoria looked at the sky garden that was slowly flying away, then looked at the sky, and couldn't help but frown.

The change in her expression was naturally noticed by Joan of Arc and Mordred who were nearby.

"What's wrong, Altria?"

In response to Jeanne's question, Altria replied calmly, "Nothing, it's just...it's almost dawn."

That night, Altria and the others had originally planned to solve the problem of Jack the Ripper, but their plan was disrupted by the sudden appearance of the Black Team, allowing Jack the Ripper to escape. Later, when they learned that the Red Team had launched a sneak attack and seized the Holy Grail, they rushed here without stopping.

Now that she recalled it, Artoria realized... a lot really happened tonight.

"Its daybreak?"

Several people followed Artoria's gaze and looked towards the east. Indeed, the sky over there was gradually getting lighter, and the first rays of sunlight were about to descend on this severely devastated land.

"The first rule of the Holy Grail War is to conduct it in secrecy."

Altria's gaze suddenly became sharp, and her emerald eyes seemed to cross the space and meet someone's gaze.

"I know you're watching this, Red Assassin."

"If it were at night, it wouldn't matter if you made such a big noise, but now, it's almost dawn, and your sky garden is too conspicuous. It will easily be seen by ordinary people nearby."

"As the Ruler of this Holy Grail War, I will never allow that to happen. Therefore, I give you two choices."

"First, use magic to hide your garden, at least so that ordinary people can't see it. Second, bring your aerial garden down."

Artoria was right. Semiramis was indeed watching this place from her own hanging garden.

The reason is simple, because Altria is too great a threat.

The previous record of crushing two top-level servants, Achilles and Karna, by single-handedly was so dazzling that Semiramis didn't care about the black servants at all and only focused on Artoria.

In her eyes, the servants of the black side who had managed to survive were already defeated and useless.

That's right, even though the Black team still has the two strongest fighters, Lancer Vlad III and Saber Siegfried, the Black team is still not taken seriously by Semiramis, and Semiramis's pride is the hanging garden under her.

Semiramis had absolute confidence in her treasure, although the conditions for successfully using this treasure were very harsh and required a large amount of earth and stone to be transported from the Middle East to build it. In order to meet this condition, the property accumulated by Amakusa Shiro Tokisada in the past sixty years was basically squandered.

However, the power of this Noble Phantasm is definitely worth this condition.

After completing this treasure, Semiramis thought that victory was within her grasp and that she was invincible!

How does flying dragon riding face lose?

She was already arrogant, and her first reaction after hearing what Altria said was to sneer.

The reason why Semiramis cares so much about Artoria is that after Amakusa Shiro Tokisada came back, he kept telling her how terrifying and powerful the other party was.

This made Semiramis extremely unhappy. The man she liked was always talking about another woman in front of her. How could the already proud Semiramis tolerate this?

This made Semiramis hate Artoria.

And now, the person he hated the most was speaking to him in a commanding tone, which was like adding fuel to the fire.

If I do whatever you tell me to do, wouldn't that make me lose face?

I don't!

If you have the guts, come and hit me!

Semiramis then neither hid nor landed the Hanging Gardens, but continued to fly in the air with great fanfare.

Of course, Semiramis was not blindly angry because she was blinded by anger, she also considered it carefully.

At this moment, her sky garden was a long distance away from Artoria and the others. Even the servants could only vaguely see a black dot when looking at the sky garden.

At such a long distance, even if Hercules, who was an archer, came, he would not be able to hit her hanging garden.

Moreover, Semiramis's Hanging Gardens are more than just flying and large in size.

The EX-level defensive technique - [Black Coffin of Ten and One] is enough to knock down all invading enemies, and its power is so powerful that even Karna's golden armor cannot completely withstand it.

She just didn't believe that Altria could do anything to her!

On Artoria's side, seeing that Semiramis still didn't respond, her face darkened.

Jeanne looked at Altria's expression and asked cautiously, "Could it be...that they didn't hear it?"

"I think that vicious woman most likely ignored my father's words." Mordred disagreed with Joan of Arc. "I noticed that vicious woman the first time I saw her. She's the type to look down on everyone and won't bow to anyone."

Faced with Mordred's rebuttal, Joan of Arc had nothing to refute... After all, unlike Mordred and Lion Jieli, she had never met Semiramis in person.

"So? What are you going to do?" Lion Jie Li looked at Artoria and asked curiously, "If he really intends to ignore your warning and continue to act recklessly, it will be very troublesome, right? It's hard not to notice a creature of that size, right? It's almost dawn."

A hint of dawn appeared on the horizon. In this land filled with pain, there were too many deaths and sacrifices without waiting for this light.

Surely this land will accumulate more sin and suffering? Because life is a pilgrimage of accumulated suffering.

The sun's rays were dazzling, but they could not cover up the soft glow on Altria's body.

She looked at the white sky expressionlessly, glanced at the broken earth, and finally, looked at the sky garden that was about to disappear at the end of her sight.

Her voice was very soft, as if she was narrating something insignificant.

"I will...shoot it down here."

Chapter 227 [Shining at the Spear of the End]

The magic is gathering.

An astonishing scene appeared. The concentration of magic power in the air was constantly increasing, which was beyond everyone's imagination.

Mordred and others who were closest to Artoria felt this change more clearly.

Lion Jiejie felt difficulty breathing and dizziness... This was because the concentration of magic power around Altria was too high, causing a magic poisoning reaction similar to oxygen poisoning.

Joan of Arc, who noticed this, immediately took the Lion Jiejie, who had difficulty moving, away. After running a long distance, she turned back and looked at the golden magic light column rising into the sky with fear.

When the pillar of light rose, the world changed dramatically in an instant, and waves of white clouds rolled up in the sky.

Mordred stood beside Artoria, his eyes never leaving her, even when the magic power turned into layers of waves and moved towards him, he did not move an inch.

Like an illusion, Mordred felt the ground beneath his feet become soft, like a piece of cloth being pushed up by layers of waves.

Stars flowed in her golden eyes. Artoria stood quietly under the pillar of light, with flowing golden light bands surrounding her.

"As Ruler, I will punish you with holy punishment."

"Look, the world ends beneath my feet. This is the wave at the end. Peel back the surface of the world and you'll see what this planet truly looks like."

As Artoria slowly raised her right hand, the raging clouds stopped in an instant, followed by a dazzling light of end.

Her red lips parted slightly, and her voice, filled with divine power, echoed between heaven and earth.

When hearing this sound, all living beings feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.

When hearing this voice, all living beings subconsciously lowered their heads and accepted its control.

Everyone, anyone who has seen him, anyone who has disdained his identity.

At this moment, I finally understood what kind of existence "God" is.

She is the sun, and even if you look directly at her, your eyes will be burned by her brilliance.

She is the sea, the bottomless abyss and the cradle of everything.

"Holy Spear, pull out the anchor."

"It is the storm anchor that tears the sky apart and binds the earth together."

A raging torrent of magical power gathered in Artoria's hands, condensing into a golden holy spear... The tip of the spear was pointed at the distant sky garden.

“Those who will eventually pass away, those who have already passed away.”

"Those who defy the storm, those who disobey my orders."

"Know your own limits here."

The next moment, a spiral spear of light stirred up the wind and clouds, and shot out suddenly as Artoria called out her real name loudly.

"Rhongomyniad [Shining in the Spear of the End]!!"

The so-called "distance" is useless in front of the Storm Spear. It is easily crossed in no time, because in front of the Tower of the End, all [distance] and [distance] lose their meaning.

Faced with the dazzling light, Semiramis's aerial garden quickly set up defenses. The [Black Coffin of Eleven] stood between the aerial garden and the storm. The immense magic power, so strong that it could distort space, gathered into an extremely thick magic cannon and crashed directly into the storm.

However, even an EX-level magic light cannon was still weak against the Storm Lance, the difference between them was like that between a firefly and the bright moon.

A second later, the magic cannon shattered like glass.

Two seconds later, the eleven upright black coffins were torn apart by the storm.

Three seconds later, the aerial garden that Semiramis was so proud of was pierced by the spear of light whose power had slightly weakened. One third of it was disintegrated, and the remaining two-thirds fell diagonally to the ground.

Seeing that her attack was complete, Altria raised her hand, opened the five fingers, and pressed down slightly.

The next moment, whether it was the earth surging like waves or the sea of ​​clouds raging like storms, they all gradually calmed down under the pressure of Artoria.

Rule the storms, rule the sky, rule the earth, rule the light.

This is the power of the gods.

One strike declared divine power.

The light bands were spinning and winding, but they did not dissipate.

The Tower at the End still stands somewhere far away yet very close, holding up the sky and nailing the earth, like a storm that seems to bend everyone's spine.

"This is the final reminder to the Red Team's Assassin and all those who attempt to challenge the rules."

Altria's majestic voice echoed between heaven and earth, like thunder and storm.

"I am the chosen Ruler. Although I do not hold the Command Seals that grant me the power to judge, I am also the Storm King, the Lord of the End, and the Goddess Rhongomyniad. If anyone commits foolish acts again, I will punish them in my own way."

"I repeat, I have no interest in the Holy Grail's ownership, nor do I care about the wishes you place on it. Whether it's the aspiration to save the world, the gratification of one's own selfish desires, unappreciated good deeds, or evil intentions that harm the earth, I will not interfere."

"However, the Holy Grail War also has rules that must be followed. Please observe them carefully, Red and Black."

Artoria still held back. The shot just now should have grazed the aerial garden and didn't hurt anyone inside... right?

As Ruler, she could sense the presence of multiple Servants in the Hanging Garden...but she couldn't go any further.

"It is now daybreak. I hereby declare that the Holy Grail War is temporarily suspended. The final outcome will be decided at night."

"above."

At this point, Altria unilaterally announced a mid-game timeout, and no one protested.

Nonsense, they are not the memories of fish, Artoria herself is still there, and she just displayed the power that shook the world, but her expression does not seem to be over-exhausted at all.

Although it was too unbelievable, they still couldn't help but wonder... Could the opponent launch that kind of attack again?

No, no, no, it's impossible no matter how you look at it, right?

All of their rationality kept denying this conjecture, but they could not get rid of this "absurd" conjecture from their heads.

Of course, what the Black and Red people think of her has nothing to do with Altria.
