Chapter 432: Exposed
Indeed, the power displayed by the three Servants when fighting was no worse than modern weapons.
Even superior enough.
After all, the current level of fighting may be Lancer Diarmuid's full strength, but it is not Artoria and Aelin's full strength.
The reason why it is said to be the full power of Lancer Diarmuid is because Diarmuid, who came as a Lancer, has two spears in his hands that are anti-personnel Noble Phantasms. Although they are powerful, they cannot cause large-scale damage.
The Sword of Promise of Victory in Artoria's hand is a real treasure for attacking the city. Once the true name is liberated, it can level the port with one blow.
The same goes for Aelin.
Aelin even possesses a powerful Zanpakutō that can destroy the entire Fuyuki City.
Attributes, skills, and martial arts can guarantee the lower limit of a heroic spirit.
But the power of the Noble Phantasm is the upper limit of a heroic spirit's strength.
Just like the Hero King Gilgamesh, he is not the strongest in terms of attributes, skills, and martial arts.
But why is Gilgamesh the ceiling of heroic spirits’ combat power?
Because Gilgamesh possesses the most powerful Noble Phantasm, the Sword of Oblivion.
This is a powerful Noble Phantasm that can cut open the world and return it to chaos.
Of course, to do that, the magic required is not at all what Gilgamesh can provide.
But even so, Gilgamesh was able to become one of the strongest heroic spirits with the help of the deviant sword that could not fully exert its power.
Of course, compared to magicians like Irisviel, the combat power displayed by Aelin, Artoria, and Diarmuid is no less destructive than the modern national army.
In fact, even if the army of a modern society country launches a crusade against Servants, it is likely to suffer heavy casualties but ultimately achieve little.
After all, although Servants are not perfect heroic spirits, they are also powerful heroes blessed by mystery.
Mystery will lose its mystery in the face of a higher level of mystery.
This sentence is also true in reverse.
In the face of higher-level mysteries, low-level mysteries are not called mysteries.
The weapons used by modern armies have lost their "mystery" because they are widely known.
In front of the more mysterious Servants, the weapons of the soldiers could not cause harm to the Servants at all.
As Aylin knows, during the Fourth Holy Grail War, the Sea Demon summoned by Marshal Gil de Rey was discovered by countries in the real world and sent fighter jets to drop missiles, but the missiles did not cause any harm to the Sea Demon. .
Finally, Berserker Lancelot was endowed with mystery under the abilities of "Knights will not die with bare hands" and "Ride A", and became a C-level Noble Phantasm. Only then did Lancelot get injured in the battle with the Hero King Gilgamesh. Arrive at Gilgamesh.
…
Fuyuki City, Miton River Bridge.
On the red arched steel frame, a sturdy red-haired man sat cross-legged on the steel frame, his red cloak fluttering in the wind, making a rustling sound.
"Hey, Rider, let's go down from here first. It's too dangerous here."
Beside the red-haired man, a weak voice said tremblingly.
You can hear the fear in this young man's tone.
These two people are naturally Waver, who participated in the Holy Grail War, and the Servant he summoned by stealing the holy relics of his mentor Kenneth, and the conquering king Iskandar who came as a Rider!
"Hahahaha, little Master, it seems that your courage still needs to be tempered."
Conqueror King Iskandar laughed. In this Holy Grail War, although his little Master is not very courageous, as the king of a country, Conqueror King Iskandar naturally has his own way of recognizing people.
His little Master is a piece of jade.
If he carves it out on his own, he will definitely become his right-hand man in the future.
"Little Master, as my Master, the first thing you learn is to trust me."
"Don't worry, even if you fall from here, at this height, I can catch you before you fall to the ground and die, and you won't be hurt at all."
"Damn it, even if you say that, I still..."
Weber habitually wanted to refute the conquering king Iskandar, but when he looked up and saw Iskandar's serious eyes, Weber could not speak the words.
Although it seemed a little out of place, after spending more than a day together, Weber also knew that the conquering king Iskandar he summoned was actually a very trustworthy person.
After muttering a few times in a low voice, Weber, although still very scared, no longer held the steel frame with his hands, but slowly propped up his body and sat astride the steel frame.
After seeing what Weber did, Conqueror Iskandar smiled slightly.
He just said, how could his master who conquered King Iskandar be an ordinary person?
Afterwards, Iskandar set his sights on the port of Xindu.
There, three heroes from all eras are displaying their martial arts wantonly, bringing a bit of post-mythological shock to the people of this era.
Looking at the battle between the three men in the distant port, the Conqueror King Iskandar became more and more excited.
Every Servant summoned by the Holy Grail naturally has a wish that he wants to fulfill.
Iskandar is no exception.
But if he wants to fulfill his wish alone, Iskandar also feels that it is quite difficult.
If he can have the help of these heroes from different eras, then there is no doubt that the probability of fulfilling his wish will be much greater.
"I originally thought that Lancer and Saber's martial arts were rare in the world, but I didn't expect that there is such a swordsmanship in the world."
Seeing that Ailin was not at a disadvantage in fighting one against two, Iskandar sighed.
Whether it is Lancer or Saber, Iskandar feels that he may not be the opponent of these two knights without using his trump card.
However, Iskandar does not shy away from this.
As a king, being able to make people stronger than himself submit to him is definitely a proof of a successful king.
...
In the field of vision of the sniper rifle, Emiya Kiritsugu saw the battle at the port of Shinto.
However, his strength was insufficient. Unless he activated his own magic "Inherent Time Control" to separate himself from the time of the outside world and enable himself to move at several times the speed, he could barely see the battle between the three Servants.
But even if he could not see the specific details of the battle, the occasional appearance of the three Servants also let Emiya Kiritsugu know that the strength of the Servant who killed Maiya was above King Arthur.
This also made Emiya Kiritsugu convinced that if he wanted to win this Holy Grail War, he could only rely on himself to deal with other magicians.
With Saber's strength, it was impossible to defeat other Servants and bring the Holy Grail to herself.
Apart from the others, the current Servant suspected of Berserker and Archer who fought with this suspected Berserker last night were powerful enemies that Saber could not match at all.
The sniper's sight moved away from his wife Irisviel, and Emiya Kiritsugu resisted the urge to fire a shot to test the defensive barrier surrounding Irisviel. He began to move the crosshairs of the sniper rifle, looking for Lancer's Master and the suspected Berserker's Master who were hiding in the back.
Emiya Kiritsugu was looking for Lancer's Master because he felt that if he could kill a magician tonight, it would be good to have one less competitor.
As for looking for Berserker's Master, it was because Emiya Kiritsugu wanted to cooperate with Berserker's Master to deal with Archer together.
Compared with an orthodox magician like Kenneth, a half-baked one like Matou Kariya can't be called a "magician" at all.
In fact, because he has always lived in a peaceful real world, Matou Kariya has a weak sense of crisis.
Even though Ailin specially placed Matou Kariya in a corner where it is not easy to be discovered, Matou Kariya's hiding skills are still too immature in front of the top assassin like Emiya Kiritsugu.
After discovering Matou Kariya, Emiya Kiritsugu searched around the port again, but did not find Lancer's Master. Emiya Kiritsugu did not waste any more time, put away his sniper rifle, and jumped from the roof of the tall building into a room with an open window.
This was one of the bases that Emiya Kiritsugu prepared for Kuon Maiya.
But unfortunately, the person who used this place now has become himself.
Kuon Maiya has left him forever.
After hiding the sniper rifle, Emiya Kiritsugu took the elevator down to the parking lot in the basement like an ordinary passenger, randomly chose a car, fiddled with it for a few times, then Emiya Kiritsugu opened the door and started the car.
"Berserker is very happy..."
As the master of Erin, perhaps because Matou Kariya and Erin have a high affinity, Matou Kariya can vaguely sense some of Erin's emotions through the connection of magic between the two.
For example, now, Matou Kariya can sense Berserker's excitement.
Erin can't help but be excited.
Whether it is Altria's Sword of Promised Victory, Diarmuid's Yellow Rose of Demon Breaking, or Red Rose of Destruction, there are Zanpakuto forged based on them in Erin's Infinite Sword.
After Altria and Diarmuid both released their Noble Phantasms, Erin's understanding of the Noble Phantasms in their hands became higher every time he fought with them.
Erin could feel that when he completely analyzed these three Noble Phantasms, he could completely integrate their true abilities into the Zanpakuto he forged.
At that time, the Zanpakuto forged by combining the two worlds of Death and Type-Moon would definitely be able to increase its power to another level, and even surpass the authentic Noble Phantasms in Altria and Diarmuid's hands.
The increase in the power of the Noble Phantasms would be fed back to Erin, which was equivalent to the improvement of Erin's strength. How could Erin not be happy?
After gaining experience from Altria and Diarmuid that helped him improve, Erin was even more looking forward to the battle with Gilgamesh.
After arriving in the Type-Moon world, Ailin's Infinite Sword System lost the ability to automatically collect all the "swords" in the past and future of the Type-Moon world.
Alin also knew that this was because he had not reached the root of the Type-Moon world, and that the characteristics of the Infinite Sword System were connected to the root.
If Alin could reach the "root" of the Type-Moon world and integrate the characteristics of his own "sword" into the "root" of the Type-Moon world, then Alin could be like the Death God world in the Type-Moon world. As long as it was born in the Type-Moon world, all things belonging to "swords" would be automatically collected by Alin's Infinite Sword System.
Before this, if Alin wanted to get more "sword" elements from the Type-Moon world, he would need to see them himself and use the ability of the Infinite Sword System to save them in the Infinite Sword System, waiting for Alin to forge them.
And in this Holy Grail War, who else has more "swords" than the Hero King Gilgamesh?
This was also the last time he fought with Gilgamesh, Alin did not use his swordsmanship to fight Gilgamesh, but consumed his spiritual pressure to release the Infinite Sword System's Shikai, trying to make Gilgamesh release more treasures and let Alin record more "swords".
Unfortunately, the battle between Aylin and Gilgamesh was interrupted by Kuon Maiya.
If Kuon Maiya had not sniped Matou Kariya, perhaps Aylin would not have come out to fight with Artoria and Diarmuid, but would have entered his own mind world, forging the "sword" copied from Gilgamesh.
"Boom!"
After Aylin completely analyzed the Sword of Promised Victory, the Yellow Rose of Demon Breaking, and the Red Rose of Destruction, his fighting spirit was completely released, and the two swords in his hands opened and closed, counterattacking Artoria and Diarmuid.
Although Aylin had not practiced two-sword swordsmanship specifically, there were many two-sword masters among Aylin's Zanpakutō.
Among them, Kyoraku Shunsui, the captain of the 8th Division of the Death God World, and Ukitake Jushiro, the captain of the 13th Division, can be regarded as two-sword masters.
After successfully synchronizing with their Zanpakutō, Locke naturally also gained their attainments in two-sword.
Combined with Locke's slashes wrapped around his Zanpakutō to enhance his attack, he single-handedly suppressed Altria and Diarmuid.
…
While Aylin was fighting Altria and Diarmuid, Emiya Kiritsugu had already driven the stolen car to the high-rise building where Matō Kariya was hiding.
Without any hesitation, Emiya Kiritsugu immediately boarded the elevator of the restaurant. After several twists and turns, Emiya Kiritsugu came behind Matō Kariya.
"Master of Berserker, Matō Kariya."
"Hello!"
"Who?"
The sudden voice behind him startled Matō Kariya, and then he turned around and saw a decadent middle-aged man in a black suit with a full beard on his face.
However, although this man gave people a decadent feeling, his eyes were unusually bright.
Matō Kariya was very familiar with such eyes.
On the day when he made up his mind to save Sakura, Matō Kariya also saw his own eyes in the mirror at that time.
The look in this man's eyes now is very similar to his own at that time.
Obviously, this man must have also made some kind of awakening.
Seeing the reaction of Matou Kariya, Emiya Kiritsugu has more confidence that he can convince Matou Kariya.
At the same time, Emiya Kiritsugu has no doubt that he will win the final victory of the Holy Grail War after the alliance is completed. (End of this chapter)
