"We also have no way to give an accurate answer from the old school building. As for Rin Tousaka and Rani, we guess that the data condensed by the huge computing power of Mooncell should be used to resist the attack."
"Unless there is a special means of attack, even the most advanced treasures cannot harm her at all."
"So the suggestion we made is to use your beauty trick, Emiya, to tell BB this information and let her deal with it."
Leo interrupted Julius at this moment.
"——————"
After a brief silence, Julius looked at Emiya Shirou on the other side again.
"That's true. Lilith's method obviously violated some of BB's intentions. If she knew that Lilith designed an invincible defense for her, then BB would take it back. Of course, it is not ruled out that BB would do nothing about it."
"Because BB needs time to get to the Mooncell center, it would be better to delay it as long as possible."
"Secondly, there is her virus that can dissolve everything. Those liquids are extremely tricky. As for the countermeasures, we can ask Miss Ying to provide the data of those viruses and make the holy cloth made by Miss Jeanne into a ceremonial dress."
"Although we can't completely block it, we can still defend it to a certain extent. This is the best way we can think of. If we have to fight her, try not to come into contact with the liquid she releases."
"She also used this extremely powerful skill to resist the devouring of evil to a certain extent."
"And the other thing is that she possesses the core of the goddess, which has the effect of maintaining the absoluteness of the mind and body. It can rebound all mental interference."
"Although it is not possible to ignore the mental impact when facing [evil], that is only true when facing the [evil] on the entire back side of the moon."
The implication is that Lilith is more than capable of dealing with the evil that Shirou Emiya possesses.
"But her own defense seems to be very low. The blow you made earlier that penetrated her chest actually caused her extremely serious damage. It was only because of her inherent skill of [Spiritual Base Expansion] that it was not too obvious."
"Otherwise, she might choose to continue fighting with you instead of retreating."
Spiritual Base Expansion
Grade: B
A skill that is similar to "Transformation".
Meltlilith's essence is water, and she can move as a fluid at will.
The mythological essence that is her foundation, Saraswati, the god of rivers and culture, and Leviathan, the tsunami that engulfs cities, allow her to exist as a completely fluid being.
These are roughly the student council's analysis of the enemy that Shirou Emiya will face, the person guarding the next level of the maze, Lilith.
The most important thing is to break her extremely difficult invincibility, just like Gawain's [Number of the Saint] blessing. If these BUFF-like characteristics are not removed, there is almost no possibility of victory.
Of course, the actual situation now is not that they only have to face Lilith. In addition to the pink-haired girl servant and Lilith who have been directly defeated by the flames, there are three extremely powerful servants waiting for them on the next floor.
As for Lilith's three SGs, Emiya Shirou does have some clues and should be able to identify two of them, but he doesn't know if they are correct.
Next, there may be another fierce battle.
Chapter 740: Take the initiative and defeat them one by one
"Lü Bu, Li Shuwen, Vlad III, plus Lilith, the enemy is really difficult to deal with!"
In the student council, everyone began to digest the information provided by Emiya Shirou.
Except for Vlad III, these servants were all very familiar to them.
Lu Bu and Li Shuwen were previously servants of Lani VIII and Julius respectively. They were very clear about their strengths and knew that neither of them was easy to deal with.
Not to mention the three of them joining forces.
Although Joan of Arc's stats have returned to normal levels, if it comes to a head-on battle, I'm afraid she is no match for any of these three.
She herself is not a servant who is good at fighting others head-on, and her martial arts level is not outstanding. To be honest, she is not as good as Shirou Emiya who has been trained in various sword skills.
What's more, Joan of Arc does not possess a treasure that can decide the outcome like those servants. Her treasure has been clearly displayed in front of everyone - defense.
Of course, among these servants, the most difficult one for Emiya Shirou is Li Shuwen, who is completely impossible to sense and can kill with one move. Apart from Jeanne d'Arc's revelation, there is almost no way to detect him.
Lilith said that she is in an invincible state. It is not an easy task to defeat Shirou Emiya and Jeanne in a head-on confrontation. It is even highly likely that they cannot be defeated.
But Li Shuwen was different. He only needed to hide his breath, come in front of them, and swing a seemingly ordinary punch. He didn't even need too much preparation. Killing them was as easy as drinking tea.
It is easy to block an open attack, but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark. That's probably what it means.
"Take the initiative and defeat them one by one. That's the only way—"
After the student council was silent for a few seconds, Leo crossed his hands in front of himself and expressed his opinion to Shirou Emiya in a very calm manner like a monarch.
"Take the initiative to attack!? There are four Servants on the opposite side now! If we are surrounded, it will be a dead end. Sakura will not be able to teleport Emiya Shirou back to the mansion again!"
Toosaka Rin immediately exclaimed in disbelief. She took the initiative to fall into the enemy's encirclement. Isn't this seeking death?
"No, taking the initiative is their only way out now-!"
Rani VIII, who was sitting next to Toosaka Rin, thought for a while after hearing Leo's words and responded to Toosaka Rin's doubts.
"There is no need to speculate. If we continue to stay where we are, we will only be surrounded by four Servants. Only by taking the initiative can we avoid such a situation—"
Leo also continued what Lani said.
"Rani is right. Now is definitely not the time to stay here and wait for rescue. It is almost certain that Lilith will come with the other three servants in a short time. Only by taking the initiative can we have a chance of winning, or even a chance of survival."
"Lilith didn't choose to launch an attack immediately. On the one hand, she definitely needed time to recover from the injuries you, Shirou Emiya, caused her yesterday. On the other hand, it was because of her absolute confidence."
"Even if I had four servants, or even four top servants, I wouldn't be anxious. I would even wait for the other party to take the initiative to attack me."
Not to mention that he had four servants, when Leo had Gawain, he basically always participated in the Holy Grail War as a challenger.
"But, apart from this sword area, the rest of the area is under Lilith's surveillance. If we take the initiative to attack, the other party will be able to react quickly!"
Shinji Matou controlled his computer and tried to break through Lilith's blockade of surveillance, but until now he has not been able to break through the terrifying firewall.
"If it's a way to avoid surveillance, I should have--"
As soon as he finished speaking, a green piece of clothing appeared in Emiya Shirou's hand.
That was Robin Hood's "The King Without a Face".
It is a magic item called "Inherited Defense". Its effect is to make it completely transparent (blending with the background) and gain the same effect as Assassin's "Breath Blocking" skill.
Optical and thermal invisibility are both perfect, but they cannot completely hide electronic waves, and are far inferior to Li Shuwen's circle, which will be known to be there if touched.
This [Faceless King] was naturally not obtained by Shirou Emiya from Robin Hood, but was found on Lip.
After all, when Sakura removed the surrounding defenses, allowing him to see through the wall, Emiya Shirou wanted to analyze whether Lip's claws were some kind of treasure and whether they could be projected.
Although he failed to achieve his goal in the end, he did find the treasure [The Faceless King] given to Lip by Robin Hood on her body.
"The Faceless King? Maybe I can really defeat them one by one—"
Leo breathed a sigh of relief. If he could avoid the surveillance, then everything would be easy.
After all, the scope of the maze is quite large. It is said that we should take the initiative to attack and break them one by one, but this is really difficult to do under surveillance.
Not to mention that they had no idea of the exact locations of these servants. There were countless traps on the next floor. If it weren't for the [Faceless King], it would most likely be a death situation.
However, this does not mean that if Shirou Emiya did not take out the [Faceless King], the student council would not be able to defeat Shirou Emiya one by one.
When Leo said this, he had naturally thought about what to do next.
The hacking skills of each student council member are not low. Shinji Matou even said that he could use Mooncell and the skills of the old school building to seize Lilith's surveillance rights. They have no way to do it.
But they can still take away her entire surveillance field of view and paralyze the surveillance for a short period of time.
"We have no way of gaining vision on the next level. We will have Shinji keep in touch with Sakura at all times. If you want to start a conflict, we will immediately cut off all surveillance on the next level—"
The student union had no way of judging the specific battle situation and the order of resolving it. After all, they had no idea the specific locations of those servants. They could only take it one step at a time.
“Understood——!”
Shirou Emiya nodded very seriously. If he was fighting alone, it would be difficult for him to consider so many things. After all, he was a warrior, and he only had some self-judgment on the situation on the field and the offensive strategy.
If anything, he would be more likely to just rush in rather than formulate a battle strategy, and would just constantly exploit his advantages during the battle.
Chapter 741: No Way to Reverse the Situation
After continuing to talk for a while and making the plan more detailed, the call between Emiya Shirou and the student council members was disconnected.
The Student Union has not been paying close attention to Shirou Emiya's movements. After all, providing advice, analyzing the situation, and formulating countermeasures are things that the Student Union can do to the best of its ability.
The most helpful thing for Shirou Emiya now is naturally to try his best to pass through the maze and reach where Shirou Emiya is.
So after a brief discussion and setting up the surveillance destruction program, Kishinami Hakuno left the student union and headed deeper with Wuming.
The others also turned their attention to Hakuno Kishiba and were responsible for protecting his safety.
They can also use the teleportation ability of the old school building, but they cannot teleport Emiya Shirou and Sakura back to the old school building. They have already tried this.
If we really want to teleport, we may have to wait until Kishinami Hakuno advances to the same level as Emiya Shirou.
"Let's set off as well. The later we set off, the more likely they are to gather together and prepare to attack us."
Jeanne was also wearing the King without Face at this moment, and even because she was a Servant, she also wore the [Devil's Haunting] given to her by Shirou Emiya.
She also had to praise that this piece of armor had so many functions, including flight, defense, invisibility, breath concealment, attribute bonus, additional weapons, armor recovery, and the easy-to-carry sword form. It can be said that it is extremely versatile.
According to what Shirou Emiya said, if it is a prototype, it also has the ability to evolve. Jeanne can fully feel the horror of the power of this weapon itself.
Especially when in sword form, Shirou Emiya does not need to consume much magic power to project it.
It consumes little magic power, provides great help, and is highly versatile. It can almost be said to be a must-have for Shirou Emiya in every battle.
If an ordinary person could wear this armor, they would have the strength to fight against the Servants, which is enough to show how powerful it is.
Hearing Jeanne's words, Emiya Shirou and Sakura nodded, then put on the [Faceless King] on themselves.
Under the effect of invisibility, the breath of the three people almost disappeared without a trace. Unless an attack was launched or they were touched, there was basically no way to discover their location.
At this time, Emiya Shirou picked up the invisible Sakura on his back and flew forward suddenly.
Although the three of them were hidden by their auras, they could sense each other.
There is no need to say much about Jeanne d'Arc. She has the revelation, and since Shirou Emiya and Sakura were not on guard against her, it was almost as if they were not invisible next to Jeanne d'Arc.
Emiya Shirou chose to project some small objects and placed them on Sakura's body, and determined the positions of Jeanne d'Arc and Sakura through the weapons he projected.
Sakura used the data of the "Faceless King" to determine the locations of Shirou Emiya and Jeanne.
As for Lilith, she should not have the data of Robin Hood and the Faceless King. Even Jeanne d'Arc concealed her Noble Phantasm from Shirou Emiya, not to mention other servants.
18th floor————
It was as deserted as ever. Even the traces of Shirou Emiya's previous battle had not been erased. In the distance, there were only broken walls and ruins. It looked like it had been bombed by missiles, and there were charred holes everywhere.
And there was the water spilled on the ground.
It is obvious that the liquid is the substance that Lilith used to resist the purple-black quagmire. It may have the same function and can dissolve things.
Many buildings built of stones are constantly being corroded by this horrible dissolving liquid.
The degree of corrosion varies, and it seems that Lilith can control the degree of dissolution of the virus she releases.
“This way—!”
Joan of Arc chose a direction and headed forward.
After all, now on this floor they can only run around like headless flies. There is no map, no way to monitor the enemy's actions, and there are even traps everywhere. It is really a precarious situation.
With Sakura on his back, Shirou Emiya has been on high alert around him. If there is any sign of trouble, he will be ready to fight immediately.
Of course, first take Sakura to a place far away from the battlefield.
However, with Joan of Arc around, even if they wander around like headless flies, they will eventually reach where they want to go.
"Revelation" applies to all things related to achieving goals, such as choosing the most suitable route during a journey, avoiding set traps, etc.
Joan of Arc can naturally lead them to find the Servants.
"Help! Is there anyone here? Help!"
Cries for help, desperate cries for help were heard in this space.
Emiya Shirou looked in the direction of the cry for help almost without hesitation.
She was a student wearing the uniform of the old school. Her face was full of fear and her body was soaked in azure liquid, as if something was chasing her from behind.
"thump--!"
Because of extreme panic, the girl fell to the ground suddenly. A red mark appeared on her face and blood gushed out of her nasal cavity. You could feel the pain just by looking at her.
But she seemed not to feel it at all. She struggled to get up from the ground and looked behind her in horror.
