Chapter 431 Fierce Battle
After Artoria used the Wind King Barrier to conceal the true appearance of her weapon, the true appearance of the long sword in her hand appeared in front of everyone.
This is a gorgeous two-handed sword with a blue sword jaw like a half moon and a golden body.
Anyone who sees this sword once will never forget it.
In fact, because this sword is so recognizable, Saber, who descended as a Servant, had to use the "Wind King Barrier" to distort the air around the sword body and hide her own sword body in this way to hide her identity.
"It turns out to be you!"
After seeing the true appearance of this sword, Diarmuid's eyes suddenly lit up.
At the same time, his attitude towards Artoria could not help but become a little respectful.
From this sword, Diarmuid recognized Artoria's identity.
The king of Britain is also the king of all knights.
Knight King Artoria Pandragon!
"Hehe..."
Seeing this king willing to expose his identity and let his opponent fight to his heart's content, Diarmuid's blood boiled.
As expected of the Knight King, just a decision made him feel excited and couldn't help himself.
If I had lived in the same era as this adult, I would definitely have gone to join this adult and fight with him.
Thanks to the almighty Holy Grail, I have fulfilled my dream.
Now, I have fought with the Knight King and fought side by side with him.
I think my body will be very happy when my consciousness returns to Valhalla, right?
Thinking of this, Diarmuid's fighting spirit also increased.
This is his home ground!
I challenged him.
The opponent came to me on his own.
Then how could I be excluded in the end?
"Swish, swish, swish..."
Thinking of this, Diarmuid took an attacking stance, and the two spears in his hands changed color in Diarmuid's hands.
The spear turned yellow, and the short spear turned red.
"It turned out to be you, the son of light of Ireland, Diarmuid Odinah!"
After seeing Diarmuid's treasure, Artoria also exclaimed.
"Hahaha, it's my honor to fight with the famous Knight King."
"Ah, me too, Diarmuid."
"It's my honor to fight side by side with you."
Artoria and Diarmuid smiled at each other.
This is the magic of the Holy Grail War.
Even if there are no wishes to be fulfilled, the heroic spirits will not refuse when they receive the call of the Holy Grail.
Because this is a place where they can gather with the world-famous heroes of all ages and fight with other heroes to their heart's content.
"Are you ready?"
"King Arthur, and the Son of Light of Ireland..."
After seeing that Artoria and Diarmuid had both displayed their treasures, Aylin no longer pretended not to know them.
And Artoria and Diarmuid had no doubts about this.
After all, they were not being modest. Even in a place like Fuyuki City, they could sense that they could get a considerable bonus to the legend of the present world.
This meant that even here, they were well-known to a certain extent.
It was normal for Aylin to recognize them.
"Hahaha, since Your Excellency can't wait, let's start the second round!"
Diarmuid laughed.
Because he had to hide his true identity before, he didn't use some tricks that were easy to expose his identity.
But now that he has revealed his identity, it would be stupid if he didn't use these tricks to get back on track.
"Swoosh!"
After releasing the treasure, Diarmuid's speed increased a little bit compared to before, and he turned into a red light and rushed towards Aylin.
"Shua!"
Ailin slashed down with his sword, and a slash cut through the ground and attacked Diarmuid.
Diarmuid thrust the yellow spear in his hand at Ailin's slash, determined to break it.
"Bang!"
However, what surprised Diarmuid was that his treasure, the "Demon-Breaking Yellow Rose" that could erase all supernatural powers, could not break the slash from Ailin.
The huge slashing force directly swept Diarmuid's yellow rose away. If Diarmuid had not immediately put the red rose in his left hand behind the yellow rose when he felt something was wrong, and used both hands and two spears to block Ailin's slash, Diarmuid would probably have been injured by Ailin's slash.
Even so, Diarmuid was pushed back by Ailin's slash.
His feet left two deep marks on the ground.
"What a heavy force!"
Diarmuid was secretly shocked.
Generally speaking, a long-range slash like this, even with the use of magic amplification, is less powerful than using a weapon to attack.
However, Diarmuid, who had fought head-on with Erin's Zanpakutō, felt that the power of Erin's slash was at least twice as strong as Erin's close-range Zanpakutō attack.
How strong is the swordsmanship to achieve this?
Anyway, Diarmuid felt that even if he used the full power of his two swords without using magic, the sword pressure he slashed would probably only be enough to blow away leaves.
Of course, there may also be differences in swordsmanship schools.
Diarmuid felt that he and King Arthur were both on the grand road, using force to bully others.
The unknown hero on the opposite side was using skills to overwhelm others.
The swordsmanship of both sides was different, so the fighting styles they showed were naturally very different.
"Swoosh!"
Altria turned into a yellow light, passed by Diarmuid, and attacked Aylin.
Aylin was naturally not to be outdone, and swung out a slash as usual.
However, contrary to Aylin's expectations, after Aylin's slash was swung, Altria avoided Aylin's slash with "intuition", causing this slash to draw a gully a hundred meters away on the ground.
"Boom boom..."
After the slash, the container on this straight line emitted a ray of white light under the reflection of the moonlight, and finally broke from the center with a rumble and collapsed on the ground.
After avoiding Aylin's slash, Artoria approached and slashed at Aylin with the golden sword in her hand.
"Dang!"
Aylin blocked with his sword, but the force of Artoria's sword directly knocked Aylin back.
"What a strong force!"
After being knocked back, Aylin was secretly shocked.
Before Artoria had not released the Sword of Promised Victory, Aylin had fought with Artoria.
But at that time, Artoria's strength was about the same as Aylin's current strength B.
But now that Aylin and Artoria collided this time, Aylin felt that Artoria's strength had at least increased by one level, reaching the level of himself when he had the ability of "Frenzy".
"Is it the blood of the dragon or the release of magic power?"
Aylin guessed in his heart.
Although Artoria is petite, she has strength that is inconsistent with her size, and there are two factors.
First, Altria has the blood of a red dragon, which makes Altria no weaker than the heroes in myths and legends.
Second, Altria has the ability to release A-level magic power, which can consume magic power to enhance her strength and speed.
Although Ailin also has A++-level magic power release, he can consume spiritual pressure to improve his attributes to A++.
However, Ailin is different from Altria.
Ailin cannot use this trick often.
Altria's master, Emiya Kiritsugu, is also a well-known magician with a lot of magic power.
Ailin's master, Matou Kariya, is not a magician at all, and his own magic power is also transformed by the engraving bugs eating him.
If Ailin consumes too much spiritual pressure during the battle, the little magic power in Matou Kariya is not enough to consume.
I'm afraid that in order to maintain the magic power consumed by Ailin in the battle, the seal bugs on Matou Kariya will eat up Matou Kariya completely?
Therefore, except for the time when Ailin consumed some spiritual pressure to release Sode no Shirayuki when killing Matou Zouken, Ailin didn't want to consume spiritual pressure when fighting with Altria and Diarmuid.
After all, this is his own battle, and there is no need to let Matou Kariya pay for his actions.
After noticing the increase in Altria's power, Ailin's Zanpakutō shook, and a wisp of breeze appeared around Ailin's Zanpakutō.
Then, Ailin rushed out with a flash step and collided with Altria's Sword of Promised Victory again.
"Boom!"
The violent wind blades danced everywhere, shattering everything around Ailin and Altria.
Unlike the last time, Ailin did not retreat this time.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
Next, the Zanpakutō in Aylin's hand and the long sword in Altria's hand swung out afterimages, collided and sparked, and the powerful shock wave was centered on the two of them, leaving huge traces on the ground, containers, and parked vehicles.
Altria's eyes flashed with shock.
She had used the ability of "magic release" to increase her strength to the A level, but except for the initial effect of catching Aylin off guard, she did not gain any advantage in every subsequent sword collision.
At first, Altria thought that Aylin also had A-level magic release like herself, using magic blessing to temporarily improve her attributes.
However, Altria soon discovered that this unknown Servant did not use magic release to improve his attributes.
The reason why he could not lose to her with his lower attributes was because of his powerful swordsmanship attainments.
The breeze on Ailin's sword is not Ailin's spiritual pressure, but Ailin's sword is about to be slashed on the sword, so that this slash is in a state of "slashing but not completely slashing" to enhance his attack power.
This fighting method is inspired by Ichigo Kurosaki's use of winding the Getsuga Tensho around his Zanpakutō to enhance the power of the slash.
However, the difficulty of wrapping the slash transformed by spiritual pressure on the sword and the slash issued by swordsmanship on the sword is incomparable.
Fortunately, Ailin's swordsmanship attainments for hundreds of years are strong enough. After being captured by Alaya in Valhalla, Ailin's swordsmanship has also been sublimated to A++ level ability, which allows Ailin to achieve this.
The slash from Ailin's swordsmanship attainments is more than twice the attack issued by this attribute now.
Altria used her magic power to raise her strength to A level, and the attack she could launch was about the same as the power of Aylin's slash, which allowed Aylin to stabilize the battle in this way.
If the fight continued like this, Altria would definitely be defeated first because of excessive consumption of magic power.
However, Altria was not alone in this battle.
"Boom!"
On this side, after deflecting the heavy slash and letting it hit the sea, a deep trench was cut in the sea. Diarmuid swung the two spears in both hands to form arcs and stabbed Aylin.
The black and red space ripples opened beside Aylin, and a Zanpakuto flew out of the space ripples and fell into Aylin's left hand, blocking Diarmuid's attack.
"Two swords?"
When Altria saw that Aylin was fighting with her and using another sword to resist Diarmuid's attack, her expression froze.
Up to now, when Aylin and Artoria fought, they both held the sword with one hand.
Combined with the fact that Aylin had previously condensed magic attacks with the fingertips of his left hand, Artoria thought that Aylin was the kind of person who practiced both magic and martial arts.
But now, Aylin showed swordsmanship with his left hand that was no less than that of his right hand, letting Artoria and Diarmuid know that perhaps this was the strongest state of the swordsmanship of this unfamiliar Servant.
With this understanding, the magic power surged more strongly in Artoria's body, and gusts of wind began to surround the Sword of Promised Victory.
Just like Aylin wrapped the slash around the sword to enhance the power of the attack, Artoria also began to try to condense the wind pressure of the Wind King Hammer on the sword.
But unfortunately, such a skill cannot be learned at a glance.
However, even if Artoria cannot wrap the Wind King Hammer around the sword as stably as Aylin, she can still release a wind slash that is not inferior to Aylin's slash after the Wind King Hammer is condensed.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom boom boom!"
At the port, three lights, one yellow, one blue, and one black and red, flowed. Every time the three lights collided, a powerful roar would erupt. The power of the collision of weapons tore the surrounding objects into pieces.
The battle between Erin and the other two lasted less than ten minutes, and the port was destroyed by the aftermath of the battle between the three.
"So strong!"
Hiding in the four-sided air break set up by Erin, Irisviel clenched her fists in front of her chest and looked at the battlefield in front of her worriedly.
"No wonder there are only seven people and seven Servants, but they use the word 'war' to describe the battle around the Holy Grail."
"Indeed, only 'war' can have such destructive power." (End of this chapter)
