Chapter 69 How can I defeat this monster!?
"boom!!!"
The terrifying explosion that almost lifted the entire mountain away rang in the ears of Emiya Shirou and Tohsaka Rin, because the explosion created a hurricane that swept the entire place. With such terrifying power, even if it was a person, let alone a human being.
A heavy armored vehicle will also be blown to pieces.
The pseudo-spiral sword is one of the many treasures that Red A can project. After his transformation, it transformed into an arrow. After detonating, it was enough to deliver a blow comparable to the real thing.
The genuine Spiral Sword was originally called Cara de Boga and was the sword of the hero Fergus in Celtic mythology.
According to legend, this sword was forged by the elves of the Kingdom of God and contained the powerful power of the thunder of the gods. Fergus once used it to split three mountains.
Although it is an anti-army level Noble Phantasm, its power is comparable to that of an anti-city Noble Phantasm of the same level.
He withstood this blow head-on. Unless Du En possessed immortality, there was absolutely no way he could survive such a powerful attack.
"Solution, is it solved?"
Even though Tohsaka Rin has always emphasized that servants are not enemies that ordinary magicians can defeat, only servants can defeat them.
But it wasn't until this moment that Emiya Shirou had the concept that "servants are really strong."
However, apart from himself, Emiya Shirou did not see anyone around him showing a relaxed expression.
"It's a lie. After enduring such an attack, I actually..."
Tohsaka Rin's disbelieving voice rang in Emiya Shirou's ears. He looked sharply at the field. A circular pit more than ten meters wide appeared in the place covered by smoke. A figure dispersed with the smoke.
Exposure appeared in his sight.
"...Unscathed!"
Instead of Tohsaka Rin speaking out what she had not finished, Emiya Shirou stared blankly at the center of the circular pit, where Doon was holding a long bow without even a single scratch.
"It's useless. As long as they are weapons and props made by humans, it is impossible to break through his Noble Phantasm's defense. They have to be at close range to force him to be unable to use this Noble Phantasm."
Because the Noble Phantasm (Fur of the Divine Beast) was placed on Illya by Du En, if Du En wanted to use it for defense, he had to project it.
Moreover, the projected (Fur of the Divine Beast) will disappear after resisting several attacks, because this world does not allow two (Fur of the Divine Beast) to exist at the same time, and Du En’s projection level is not enough for him to use the Fur of the Divine Beast
) is copied perfectly.
Therefore, Cú Chulainn's only chance of victory is to attack Duen at close range, forcing him to project this Noble Phantasm without any spare time.
No, if I have to say it, there are no treasures that can ignore the Fur of the Divine Beast, and Artoria's Holy Sword should be among them.
Because, in essence, the Sword of Promised Victory is not a weapon forged by humans, but is born in the inner sea of stars and is the crystallization of the world.
Therefore, if it is this holy sword, it can attack Duen directly even if it ignores the defense of the Fur of the Divine Beast.
Now, not to mention Artoria who had been knocked away, after Du En caught the "pseudo spiral sword" shot by red A, he didn't even have time to relax, and the blue spearman was already holding it
Stab out with a spear.
"Although fighting you in this situation is not what I want, but at this point, I can only go all out."
Even if it only takes a few seconds, I will fight with you with all my strength!
However, Cu Chulainn returned earlier than he expected. He had just fought against Duen, and Artoria, who was knocked away, had already returned to the battlefield.
"Lancer, get out of the way, this is my opponent!"
Arturia's voice rang in Cu Chulainn's ears, causing him to curse.
"I should be the one to say this. Since I have been repelled, please stay aside and have a good rest. This guy is my opponent."
"No, it's me who has been fighting him since just now."
"What qualifications does a person who has been pressed and beaten since just now have the right to say such things? Women, just stay back and have a good rest!"
"Lancer, you are so prejudiced..."
"..."
Even though they said they would work together, the pride of the servants did not allow them to attack Doon at the same time.
It would be fine if he was an evil person, but the character Du En has shown from just now to now does not look like a bad person.
Just when Cu Chulainn was still about to say something, a voice sounded in his mind.
"Lancer, assist Saber in defeating Berserker, this is an order!"
Hearing this voice, Cu Chulainn almost broke his teeth.
"I see."
Being surrounded by Cu Chulainn and Artoria's personal guards, Dune also gave up the idea of using a single weapon.
One hand parried the two attacks with a long bow, and the other hand wielded a sword and ax to chop at the two. Even if Cu Chulainn and Artoria joined forces, it would be difficult to undo the difference in physical attributes.
Even Artoria in her prime state was inferior to Du En's physique.
After all, Du En's current body is equivalent to strengthening Hercules' original body.
Although his physique is somewhat weaker than that of Hercules of the Berserker class due to his lowered divinity, his various blessings such as (strange strength) and (strongness) can completely make up for this shortcoming.
Perhaps in terms of strength, compared to the original Hercules, there is not a big gap between Dune, but in terms of endurance and agility, he is above the original Hercules.
Coupled with the special skills of (eyesight) and (intuition), even if Arturia and Cu Chulainn wanted to cover each other's attack, it would be difficult to deceive Duen.
At first, the two thought of fighting alone, but feeling the pressure from Du En, they were forced to join forces.
The battle between the three men was like a strong wind, almost sweeping away the hill where the church was located.
The already dilapidated earth was further cracked by the battle between the three people.
"Now that Lancer and Saber are holding Berserker back, wouldn't it be better to deal with the opponent's master first? After all, Rin, your servant hasn't taken action yet, hasn't it?"
A calm voice came from behind Tosaka Rin. When Tosaka Rin looked back, Kotomine Kirei smiled calmly.
"After all, that little girl from Einzbern made a mess of my church. I'm very vindictive. I'm just reminding you a little. It shouldn't be a violation, right?"
Taking a deep breath, Tohsaka Rin turned his head and stopped looking at him.
"I know this kind of thing without you having to tell me. Archer!"
Hearing Tohsaka Rin's order, Red A couldn't help but frown. He didn't want to obey this order.
I don't know if he heard Kotomine Kirei's words, but the originally stalemate battle situation suddenly changed. Dune, who was still evenly matched with Artoria and Cu Chulainn, suddenly dropped the longbow in his hand and grabbed it with his hand.
Cu Chulainn stabbed him with his spear.
The arm was pierced by a spear, but Du En's face did not change at all. Ignoring the slash from Artoria, Du En swung the sword and ax in his hand towards Cu Chulainn.
"Puff"
Almost at the same time, both Duen and Cu Chulainn were hit in the body. Cu Chulainn was almost cut in half by Duen's sword and axe, and Duen was almost cut in half by Artoria's long sword.
Cut off the head.
From the neck to the chest and abdomen, what appeared on Du En's body was a huge gap of more than 30 centimeters. Looking inside, the cut internal organs were clearly visible.
But Du En didn't seem to notice. Instead, he took advantage of the opportunity of Cu Chulainn being severely injured by him and kicked Cu Chulainn away.
The sudden scene shocked almost everyone present. Even Artoria, who attacked Duen, did not expect that Duen would rather resist her attack than seriously injure Cu Chulainn.
But, does it make sense?
The spiritual core was not damaged, and Cu Chulainn was only seriously injured at most, but Artoria's blow just now hit Duen's heart.
Everyone stood blankly on the spot, except for Kotomine Kirei, whose expression turned gloomy a moment ago.
Being able to make Du En make such a move can only mean one thing.
"He actually still has the chance to be resurrected!"
Being able to exchange one life for Cu Chulainn's serious injury was completely worth it for Duen.
He was almost cut into two pieces. Although his life was very strong, without Arturia's strong recovery ability, it was basically impossible for Cu Chulainn to fight again in a short time, or to use his full strength.
And with Artoria alone, can Tohsaka Rin safely send Red A to attack Illya? There is an executive of the association who can fight the servants head-on.
That's right, Du En suddenly became violent when he heard that Kotomine Kirei actually instigated Tohsaka Rin to attack Illya.
Otherwise, even if they can't be defeated in a short time, Illya's magical power will kill Cu Chulainn and Arturia.
With Kirei Kotomine providing magic power, Cu Chulainn can naturally remain at his peak, but for Artoria, once the effectiveness of the command spell has passed, she may return to a "weak" state at any time.
In her weak state, let alone compete with Duen, how long she can hold on is a question.
Now, Cu Chulainn has temporarily withdrawn from the scene, and the situation has returned to the starting point.
Watching the wounds on Du En's body heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, the cemetery in front of the church became deathly silent.
How can they defeat this monster!?
