No matter what, there is no way that Black can win this Holy Grail War.
Danik had anticipated this situation early on. When he learned that Astolfo was the only one left on his side, he knew that the probability of the black side defeating the red side was almost zero.
The gap between the two sides is so big that one is in the sky and the other is on the ground.
The Red Team only used one day to prepare and the Black Team had no way to invade.
This is what the Red Team can do.
He rushed directly into the Cathedral Church and was tied up with chains. He lost all power to resist and was eventually eliminated.
This is what Black can do.
Whoever it is, will make the right choice here.
"But, I refuse."
As if afraid that Semiramis didn't hear clearly, Emiya Shirou responded with his firm eyes.
And he raised his hand that was tightly gripping the knight's sword again, pointing it at Semiramis who was standing in front of him.
"Why…?"
Semiramis murmured, her face full of displeasure, and returned to her previous position. Countless magic light arrays unfolded from behind her.
In just a moment, the entire cathedral was filled.
"If there is a reason, it's because humans don't need to be saved!"
Faced with an attack that was impossible to dodge, Shirou Emiya did not hesitate at all and stepped forward with the knight sword in hand.
————————————————————————
"Bang bang bang bang bang!"
The terrifying artillery fire dropped from the sky, aiming at Shirou Emiya and Astolfo, pouring down without reservation.
This time the power of the magic light array is even greater than the light cannon in the town.
Although it is not as good as the EX-level light cannon of the Sky Courtyard, each shot has reached A-level in the Holy Church.
Such a terrifying outpouring of light cannons was simply not something that Shirou Emiya and Astolfo could withstand.
Perhaps Astolfo's Noble Phantasm could ignore such attacks.
But now his whole body was tied up with chains, and he couldn't control his mount. Not to mention releasing his treasure, Astolfo couldn't even dodge.
He could only watch as Emiya Shirou rushed in front of him, charging head-on into the countless, all-destructive light cannons without fear.
Job placement skills
Position Construction: EX
As a magician, you can create a position that is advantageous to you. By collecting specific materials, you can form a "sky garden" that goes beyond the "temple".
Even if she lost the Sky Courtyard, Semiramis still had EX-level position construction, not to mention that she was also an extremely powerful magician.
Under Semiramis' construction, the entire Templar Church was transformed into an extremely solid magic workshop, which also carried the last line of defense to protect the Holy Grail.
"Boom!"
Amid a deafening roar, the wall behind Semiramis suddenly collapsed like a collapsing mountain torrent.
Behind that wall.
A huge altar was suspended there.
A spherical altar, like a small celestial body, emitting a soft glow, was suspended in the air.
In contrast to the softly glowing spherical altar, there was a sudden emergence of terrifying purple-black poisonous gas.
At the moment the wall collapsed, the purple-black poisonous gas, which made one feel their life slipping away just by looking at it, poured towards Emiya Shirou and Astolfo.
And a giant snake appeared beside Semiramis after the wall collapsed.
The giant snake had two colorful horns and a pair of sharp forelimbs like claws. Its open fangs seemed to be covered with venom, which would corrode and melt the ground just by dripping on it, causing bursts of deadly toxic smoke to rise up, turning into mist that evaporated the air and dispersed in this space.
Under the corrosion of the giant snake's saliva, bursts of poisonous gas continued to rise from the ground.
I saw it hovering its body and lowering its huge head.
A pair of eyes filled with violence stared directly at Emiya Shirou.
"gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
A hissing sound that shook the human eardrums came out from the giant snake's mouth.
The roar was so loud that it seemed as if the air it touched was infected with poison and was shaking violently.
Chapter 203: Creatures That Even Gods Fear
"Barshom."
That is the name of a monster in mythology.
According to legend, in Mesopotamian mythology, there was a goddess.
She is the goddess who dominates the ocean and created all things in the world. She is the incarnation of primordial chaos. She also gave birth to the gods and became the mother of the gods. She is called the primordial mother.
This goddess is named Tiamat.
While Tiamat gave birth to the gods, it also gave birth to monsters that could oppose the gods.
There are eleven monsters in total, and each one is a terrifying being that can rival a god.
Among them, there was a poisonous snake.
Legend has it that the venom of this poisonous snake can melt even gods, and its rank is no less than that of the Dragon God.
Legend has it that the moment this venomous snake was created in the ocean, the ocean it was immersed in instantly turned into a deadly sea.
The gods did not dare to approach this terrifying venomous snake, so they asked Tiamat to seal it away.
As the oldest poisoner, Semiramis has the right to summon this terrifying monster that even she herself dares not summon or even touch.
This is a poisonous snake summoned by the "Red" Assassin Semiramis using the power of "Sikera Usum".
Even Semiramis couldn't summon this thing completely in an instant, so only the upper body was revealed.
But facing someone like Emiya Shirou who could create miracles together with Amakusa Shiro and Tokisada, Semiramis did not hold back at all. Perhaps she was angry and humiliated by Emiya Shirou's rejection of her, but at this moment, she exerted all her strength just to eliminate the threat that appeared here.
Thus, the great monster in Mesopotamian mythology, the poisonous snake named Basium, which even the gods feared, was summoned at this moment.
Those light cannons also arrived in front of Shirou Emiya the moment Baschume appeared.
At this moment, Astolfo saw a red light flashing on Shirou Emiya's left hand, which originally had no Command Seal.
"In the name of the Command Seal, appear before me! Ruler!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"My Lord is here!!!"
As Emiya Shirou finished his words, a sharp female voice sounded from in front of Emiya Shirou.
An iris flag flashed with an extremely holy white light, protecting Shirou Emiya and Astolfo at the moment when the light cannon was about to fall.
This is Jeanne revealing the holy flag, which converts EX-level magic resistance into defense against physical attacks. It is the embodiment of the legend of waving the flag on the battlefield and winning almost without any damage.
The magic resistance has reached EX level, and no matter how those terrifying light cannons bombard it, they cannot penetrate its defense.
Even the purple-black poisonous fog was blocked out by it.
"Shirou, Ruler!"
Following the sound, I saw that the Master of Lion Jie Jieli and Astolfo had arrived at the Cathedral Church at some point.
Shirou Emiya and Astolfo were not far from the entrance of the Cathedral Church. After all, when Semiramis summoned Shirou Emiya to surrender, he was also at the entrance of the Cathedral Church and did not go deep inside.
They also arrived at the Cathedral Church at the moment when Shirou Emiya stood in front of Astolfo.
Joan of Arc's protection also enveloped them.
"clang--!"
Astolfo struggled to break free from the chains and climbed up from the ground with his mount.
Because Semiramis summoned "Basium" and used magic power to continuously control the light cannon to fire, she temporarily had no way to spare the energy to restrict Astolfo's actions.
Moreover, with the existence of "Barshom", she no longer needs to restrict Astolfo.
As soon as she left Joan of Arc's defense, Astolfo would die of poisoning.
Even if Mordred possessed A-rank anti-magic power, she would have died the moment she inhaled the poisonous gas if it had not been for the use of the Command Spell by Lion Jiejie.
Surrounded by such horrible poisonous gas, Semiramis didn't have to worry about them making any moves.
Because all actions are in vain.
Semiramis didn't believe that Joan of Arc could withstand these attacks indefinitely.
As long as she continued to release magic beam cannons, it was only a matter of time before these people died.
"So the way to summon Jeanne from such a faraway place is to sign a contract with Shirou!"
As the first eyewitness at the scene, Astolfo immediately understood why Jeanne was able to arrive at the scene so quickly and help Shirou Emiya resist the attack.
After all, the only thing that can achieve time and space teleportation is the Command Seal.
Everyone looked towards Shirou Emiya's left hand and saw the only remaining Command Seal. Everyone present knew that Shirou Emiya no longer had any Command Seals, but now there was suddenly an extra Command Seal, which could only have been given by Jeanne d'Arc.
"Everyone, this is not the time to chat. I cannot withstand such attacks indefinitely."
When Joan of Arc heard Astolfo running in a wrong direction, she couldn't help but remind him that the current situation was extremely urgent and every minute and every second needed to be seized.
While the holy flag is raised, Joan of Arc will be unable to attack, and the flag itself will continue to accumulate the opponent's attack damage.
Her defense is not capable of withstanding infinite attacks against city-level treasures.
"The Holy Grail is right there!"
Shirou Emiya stretched out his knight sword and pointed it at the spherical altar floating in the air in the distance.
Although there was no evidence, Shirou Emiya's intuition told him that was the purpose of their trip, what they wanted to seize.
"But we don't have any way to break through the poisonous fog outside now."
Astolfo's Master posed the most difficult question they now faced.
After all, everyone present, except Jeanne d'Arc who had EX-level resistance to magic, would probably die on the spot the moment they came into contact with the poisonous fog outside, and they would not even be able to touch Semiramis, let alone the Holy Grail.
"Trace on"
One after another, long swords with chains appeared on the ground.
"Rider, the armor formed by this sword can block the spread of poison gas for a short period of time. If you use the Noble Phantasm, can you get close to Semiramis?"
When Astolfo releases his treasure, he can constantly switch between "non-substantial existence" and "substantial existence", and can avoid all attacks in the world.
However, for this kind of poison that can kill people with just a slight contact for a moment, Astolfo would probably die the moment he released his treasure, the moment his physical existence appeared.
Therefore, if there is no way to deal with this poisonous fog, Astolfo will not be able to fight Semiramis even if he releases his treasure.
Chapter 204 The Final Battle
The entire cathedral church was extremely noisy, with the sounds of venomous snakes roaring, magic being activated, laser cannons firing, holy light being stimulated, and the extremely terrifying sound of venom corroding.
Compared to the silent forest outside, this small cathedral church is extremely lively.
But in such an extremely noisy environment, such a crisp gunshot was heard.
"boom--!"
Two bullets made of fingers passed through the horrible purple-black poisonous gas and arrived in front of Semiramis at an extremely fast speed.
"clang--!"
A mirror composed of several hexagons appeared in front of Semiramis, blocking the attack of the Lion's finger bullet.
"A lowly necromancer!"
Semiramis cursed in a low voice. If there was one thing she despised the most, it was modern magicians. Both their methods and ideals were too low.
Semiramis's eyes showed nothing but disdain for the attacks launched by modern magicians.
But facing the finger bullets fired by Lion Jie Jie Li, she still had to block them. Although she was a great magician and a heroic spirit, it did not mean that she was completely immune to the magician's attacks.
