One Thousand Three Hundred and Sixty-Seven After Despair Will Usher in Hope
"Rider!"
Joan of Arc suddenly called out to Astolfo.
"With the ability of your eagle, you should be able to lead everyone out of the Sky Garden, right?"
Joan of Arc's sudden words startled Astolfo, who was in a state of panic, and nodded reflexively.
"Hmm... Mmm! If it's breaking away...!"
Astolfo's eagle has the ability to call it a trump card.
That is not an anti-army Noble Phantasm-level rush, but a hidden ability called "dimension jump".
"The Hippogriff that doesn't exist in this world."
That is the real name of the eagle.
As the name suggests, the eagle itself is a species that should not exist. The existence itself is very vague, and it is not even clear whether it exists or not, which is extremely ambiguous.
And when the Hippogriff's real name is released, this awareness of its "non-physical existence" will become very strong.
The result of this is that the eagle will erase its own existence from the current dimension, switch to a vague posture together with the rider, lose sight, and then avoid all forms of observation in the world, and can even be in other places appearing again.
Even if it is an attack that is so powerful that all gods and Buddhas will be wiped out, with such an ability, it will not be able to hurt a single hair of it.
That's the true power of the Eagle, the ability to jump dimensions.
The reason why Astolfo was able to remain undefeated under Atalanta's onslaught until Atalanta was summoned by Semiramis was because of this ability.
If this ability is used, it can indeed make everyone escape from the sky garden.
But…
"Then you have to ride the eagle!" Astolfo said hastily: "It's already seriously overcrowded. Even if we can think of ways, the most we can do is to bring everyone with us. There is no way to bring the Great Holy Grail with us." Up!"
Hearing this, Jeanne smiled.
It was a holy smile that was indistinguishable from the name of a saint.
"That's enough." Joan of Arc begged extremely sincerely: "Then, Rider, please take everyone present out."
"Huh?" Astolfo was stunned.
"Ruler?" Zieg, Fiore, and Coles were also keenly aware of the meaning of Joan's words.
"Miss Joan..." Minamoto Laiguang stared at Joan, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Do you want to stay?"
"Yeah." Joan nodded with a smile, and while supporting the enchantment of the Holy Banner, she said: "I must stay, this is also to keep the Great Holy Grail."
At the same time, it is also to save life on earth.
The Sky Garden cannot be dropped to the ground.
Otherwise, an unprecedented catastrophe will definitely cause huge trauma to mankind.
Joan must save those who are about to die under the disaster.
Even if she doesn't wish to save all human beings like Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, Joan is still a saint.
"Please protect everyone and leave together,
Miss Laiguang. "
Joan met Minamoto's gaze and smiled softly.
"Don't worry, I will solve all the problems."
Whether it's Fang Li's life, the existence of the Great Holy Grail, or the safety of the people on the ground, Joan will bear it all.
Use another treasure that you own.
"Jeanne!"
"Ruler!"
Seemingly aware of something bad, Zieg, Fiore, Corles, and Astolfo almost uttered in unison.
However, it was interrupted by Minamoto Raimiko.
"……let's go."
Minamoto Larimitsu was silent, then lowered his voice and said this.
"Beerker...?"
Everyone suddenly froze again.
Facing such a crowd, Minamoto Yorimitsu said with a cold expression as the leader of Genji.
"The awakening of the saint, even if others would deny it, we should not deny it."
Such words made everyone lose their words.
"Boom...!"
At this time, Baxium's poisonous gas turned into a wave again, impacting on the barrier, causing the entire barrier to shake suddenly.
"Well…!"
Joan groaned in a low voice, then shouted to everyone.
"I can hold on now! Please hurry up!"
The urgent urging and the crisis made everyone dare not delay any longer.
At that moment, Minamoto Larimitsu grabbed Fiore with one hand and Coles with the other, and jumped onto the back of Junying.
The masters of the red camp held by the prosthetic hand behind Fiore are naturally also together.
"Rider!"
Minamoto Raikou made a sound.
"Woo...!"
With tears in the corners of Astolfo's eyes, he released the real name of the phantom horse with a sobbing voice
"Come on! The Hippogriff that never existed in this world!"
The eagle immediately let out a sharp cry.
"Om...!"
In the next second, Junying's body turned into a blurry phantom and disappeared.
At the scene, only Joan of Arc and the Great Holy Grail remained.
"Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
Outside the barrier, in the poisonous gas, Bashum seemed to have sensed the escape of his prey, and let out a violent neighing again.
But Joan of Arc didn't care about it, but while struggling to support the Holy Banner, she turned her head and looked at the radiant Great Holy Grail.
Immediately, Joan of Arc smiled.
"Don't worry, my flame won't burn you."
After leaving such words, Joan pulled out the sword that was always worn around her waist but never sheathed.
"Puchi..."
Amidst the sound of tearing, Joan cut the palm of her hand with the blade.
Blood flowed from his hands.
Joan of Arc knelt down directly, folded her bloody palms together, and closed her eyes.
That appearance, like a pious saint.
In the past, the Holy Maiden was imprisoned by the British, framed by the enemy, and burned as a witch at the stake.
This legend interprets Joan of Arc's burning at the stake as a conceptual crystallization arm produced by the attack.
The body of the sword worn by Joan of Arc is a subspecies of Inherent Barrier, a treasure that crystallizes the mind world.
"The Saint of the Red Lotus (La_Puelle)".
It was an Ex-rank special attack Noble Phantasm.
Catalyzed by the sword of St. Catherine, which was never used by Joan of Arc, it manifests the flame that burned itself in the past.
The price of using this treasure is life.
The effect is to destroy all existence at the cost of one's own life.
Now, in order to save the human beings who are about to encounter catastrophe, the saint resolutely uses this treasure.
Pious prayers resounded from his mouth.
"The heavens are the glory of the Lord, the sky is the work of God's hand"
"Language by day, knowledge by night"
"Can neither talk nor speak, cannot even hear a voice"
"The warm light spreads all over the earth, extending to the end of the world"
"Climb up from the end of the sky, go around to the end of the sky"
"Here is my end, here is my destiny, here is my life"
"My life is nothing, like a shadow wandering around"
"My bow cannot be relied on, nor can my sword save me"
"With the only thing left, I hope to protect his footsteps"
"Lord, I entrust this body to You"
The flame of the red lotus began to burn around Joan's body.
Immediately, it exploded in one breath.
"Despair must be followed by hope (Lespoir_vient_apres_de_sespoir)"
The fire of the red lotus burned the entire garden.
