I don't want to be a heroic spirit

The golden stream of light responded to Artoria's call, forming a thin shield around her body.

The red gold divine fire, the sun's fire that can melt mountains and evaporate the sea, cannot break through this thin shield, and the extreme heat cannot affect the people inside.

As a result, the flames began to shrink the front.

In the pillar of fire, the shadow of Shenwu in golden armor loomed.

"drink--!"

Karna roared angrily, and the surrounding flames suddenly surged. His whole body seemed to be integrated with the flame spear in his hand, and he gathered boundless flames and charged towards Artoria.

Facing such a powerful blow, Artoria's eyes narrowed, and the golden light condensed into a golden lion, roaring against the flaming waves.

"roar--!!"

Its roar stirred up a storm, and golden lightning fell on the golden lion from the sky, making its body even more majestic.

"go."

Arturia raised her hand slightly, and the golden lion wrapped in lightning stepped into the void and collided with the monstrous flame wave.

In an instant, it was like a small nuclear weapon exploded in the sky, and the sky suddenly became bright as day.

When the light dissipated, a golden spear shivered in front of Artoria's eyes. The tip of the spear was only half a foot away from Artoria's forehead. To the servant, this distance was like nothing.

However, Karna could not cross this distance.

I saw golden silk threads tightly binding Karna's limbs and the body of the golden spear.

Although these golden threads were as thin as spider silk, Karna could not break free no matter what.

Even though the tip of the spear was close to her eyes, Artoria remained expressionless. She gently pushed out with her left hand. Karna felt like he was hit by a huge force, and his body flew out uncontrollably, penetrating like a cannonball. After climbing a high mountain, he fell into the forest on the other side, kicking up large tracts of dust and broken rocks.

Chapter 177 Karna’s Defeat

Looking at the mythical battle in the distance that could change the color of heaven and earth, Cowles, who had arrived at the safe zone, felt extremely complicated.

He also had a clearer understanding of the battle between followers.

No wonder they say that a magician can never defeat a servant. What a fart!

Obviously he is also a follower, but this one of mine is...

With an intriguing look, Kaules glanced at the girl in the wedding dress next to him.

Then, the girl in the wedding dress seemed to understand the meaning in Corless' eyes. Like a cat with explosive fur, she bared her teeth and glared at Corless, as if she would pounce on him and bite him to death in the next second.

Although the other party is a very cute girl, Cores doesn't dare to try to be bitten... After all, the other party's shark teeth are fascinating just by looking at them, and with the bite force of the servant, human bones are no better than a piece of tofu. .

"That's right, that's right, I know you are also very powerful..."

If you are a manly man, you should be cowardly.

Especially being cowardly in front of girls is not shameful at all.

Because her attitude of admitting her mistake was very sincere, the girl in the wedding dress "hummed", which was considered to have forgiven Cowles for his slight.

However, when she looked at the battlefield again, the girl in the wedding dress felt a deep sense of frustration in her heart.

Although she didn't like being looked down upon by her Master, the girl in the wedding dress was not someone who couldn't see clearly and deny reality... With that huge gap like a chasm, she was not even qualified to enter the battlefield.

Seeing that his servant seemed no longer angry with him, Cores scratched his head happily and then continued to watch the battle.

Since there is no way to participate in the battle, the main task is to collect information... It is best to find out the real names of the red team's Lancer and Ruler.

That's right, even Ruler's real name needs to be clarified. Although Ruler agreed to go to Black's base camp with him before and showed goodwill to him, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future. Ruler must also be considered as an enemy. possibility.

"No wonder Ruler said that no one here except Lancer and Saber is qualified to fight him. Lancer on the red side is really strong..."

While watching the fierce battle, Cores touched his chin and sighed.

But suddenly, he realized something was wrong.

Previously, because of the pressure from Arturia and Karna, Cores' brain was a little confused, but now that he was in a safe zone, he had regained his calmness and ability to think.

"Why would Ruler say that only our side's Saber and Lancer are qualified to fight the other side? It's as if... she knows all our side's combat power... No, even the red side Lancer She also seems to know very well about his combat capabilities.”

"And...she seems to have known for a long time that someone would come? She even knew that the other person's target was herself?"

The more he thought about it, the more frightening he felt.

The perspective returns to the battlefield...

Artoria was like the brightest star, with her silver armor and golden hair shining brightly in the night sky.

She stared straight at the place where Karna fell. Although the smoke was billowing there, the mere dust could not block her sight.

Although she knocked Karna down, she knew that this alone would not be able to hurt him.

The armor on Karna was given to him by his father, the sun god Surya. It has the absolute conceptual ability of "reducing all attacks received by 90%". Most attacks cannot even break through Karna's skin defense after being reduced. Even if it is broken, this set of armor has the ability to heal itself, which can be regarded as another kind of immortality.

As expected, not long after, Karna came to Altria again. His aura did not weaken at all, but even increased.

If Karna only regarded killing Ruler as the master's task before, now he has regarded Altria as an opponent.

The veins of his right hand holding the golden spear bulged, and his figure turned into lightning, and the spear in his hand pierced the opponent's face.

But this time, Artoria did not use the same trick again, using the shield of light to block the attack, but...

"Dang!"

A crisp sound like a bell echoed in the sky, and a sharp blade of light blocked the stab of the golden spear.

Artoria raised her right hand, raised her index and middle fingers to form a sword finger, and the sharp blade of light extended from her sword finger.

Karna was stunned for a moment, but soon reacted.

"Do you want to compete with me in martial arts?"

Karna was not afraid, so the flames around him gradually subsided.

The two turned into flowing light, and in the blink of an eye, they had fought hundreds of rounds. The naked eye could not capture their figures, and only the roar from the sky was endless.

Karna's spearmanship was as violent as volcanic lava, but it was also exquisite, while Artoria's swordsmanship was as ethereal as the wind blowing on the face, but this etherealness contained murderous intent.

The two of them showed the magical skills that only exist in mythology. Whether it is Karna or Altria, their martial arts are enough to surpass an era.

However, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts, and the two quickly decided the winner.

The golden spear and the sharp blade of light collided again, and both were blown away by the powerful force.

Altria stabilized her body before Karna, and then her left foot seemed to step directly on the void, and the burst of power made her rush towards Karna who had just stood firm.

Seeing Altria rushing straight towards him, Karna was naturally ready, with a high concentration of energy and spirit. His right hand holding the golden spear trembled slightly, telling his inner excitement.

The great hero in the ancient Indian epic poem "Mahabharata", the son of the sun god Surya, the "hero of charity" Karna, is the destined enemy of the "hero of heaven" Arjuna, and a hero with superb martial arts and noble spirit.

He is equally tolerant to everyone in the world. As long as someone prays to him, he will basically not refuse. Even when Indra disguised himself as a mortal and prayed for the immortal golden armor on the eve of his battle with Arjuna, even though he saw that the man in front of him was Indra in disguise, he still did not refuse. He stripped off the golden armor connected to his flesh and blood and gave it to Indra.

He was deceived by Indra, cursed by Brahmins, and blocked by the gods who protected Arjuna. In the end, he died because of a sneak attack.

But even so, he regarded this as his fate and accepted it calmly.

Such a tolerant person also has his own wishes and selfishness.

That is, to have a real battle with a warrior of equal strength without sneak attacks, curses, and coercion, he will feel satisfied regardless of winning or losing.

And now, in the battle with Altria, Karna can feel it.

His blood is boiling, his breathing is getting hot, and his fighting spirit is getting high.

In Altria, Karna seemed to see the moment when his wish came true.

The warrior soul dormant in this body was burning, and Karna couldn't help but smile.

Seeing Altria rushing towards him, Karna instinctively stabbed a gun.

However... when Altria took the second step in the void, Karna's face changed.

As if his vision was just shaking, Altria's figure flashed in front of him from dozens of meters away.

The sharp blade of light turned into a real flash, crossing the stars in an instant.

Three sword lights hit Karna's chest at the same time, and even the golden armor of the sun god could not completely resist this [collapse of events].

The bright red blood slowly flowed down, and Karna reached out to touch it, and his fingers were soon stained red.

He couldn't help but be moved... He was actually injured?

"You have the strength to make me serious, but you can't let go completely now. If you continue to fight, your only result will be to withdraw."

Altria's voice was very light, as if she was simply stating the facts.

"..."

Karna was speechless. Although the wound on his chest had long since healed, he knew that he was indeed no match for the man in front of him.

"...I lost."

He frankly admitted his defeat and put away his weapon.

As the other party said, it was meaningless to continue fighting.

Now that the Holy Grail War has just begun, the Master will need him in the future, and he has reasons not to die yet.

"So, please allow me to retreat like this."

Karna's body began to turn into light particles, which was a manifestation of spiritization.

However, before completely disappearing, Karna looked at Artoria seriously, as if he wanted to remember the appearance of this powerful enemy firmly in his mind.

"Next time, I will definitely make people take it seriously... Ruler."

After leaving this sentence, Karna disappeared, and only Artoria was left in the sky.

She looked at the place where Karna disappeared. From that direction, the fiery red sun gradually raised its head from the mountains, and the dark night gradually turned into a burning red.

"I hope... I can respond to your fighting intention at that time."

Chapter 178 Invited

This is a church located in the deep mountains.

The silver moon is hanging high, and the moonlight shining through the high windows is the only light source in this church, which looks very dark.

It should be a place where the gods descend, but it looks a little gloomy here.

The white-haired priest fought quietly on the stage like a sculpture, as if he was looking at the statue in front of him, and as if he was waiting for someone.

When a figure slowly emerged behind the church, the white-haired priest showed a peaceful smile.

"You're here."

He turned around and smiled at Karna, who had just finished fighting with Altria.

"The mission failed. I'm no match for Ruler."

Win is win, lose is lose. Even if he didn't use his full strength, Karna didn't intend to deny his failure.

"Really? You've worked hard." The white-haired priest walked down from the chanting platform step by step, smiled bitterly and said, "This is not your problem. It should be said that we dragged you down... However, Ruler in this Holy Grail War is indeed a bit beyond the specification, which is beyond my expectations."

"You go down first and have a good rest. Ruler is just an outsider after all. Our real enemy is still the black side... The next battle still needs you. Regain your energy."

Karna didn't say anything, just stared at the white-haired priest's face for a long time, then nodded, and disappeared in spirit form.

Karna left, and the white-haired priest still had a gentle smile on his face, as if he only had this one expression.

"He seems to have discovered something, Master."

Assassin appeared behind the white-haired priest, his arms resting on the back of a wooden chair beside him, stretching his body lazily, his fragrant breath gently blowing on the white-haired priest's neck.

"This is normal, after all, we haven't let him see his Master until now... He should have known it, but he just didn't take the initiative to speak."

"Then... do I need to do it myself and poison him to death?"

She had a charming smile on her face and made a gesture of wiping her neck.

"That won't do. After all, he is an important force for our Red Team, and we will need him in the battle with the Black Team." The white-haired priest smiled slightly: "Besides, you may not be his opponent."

"Oh~? Master, are you looking down on me? I see. I'll let you try out my latest poisonous wine, and let you feel your bones being dissolved bit by bit until you die."

"I don't mind drinking your poisonous wine, but not now... At least please wait until the day when my long-cherished wish is fulfilled."

"What I want to see is your desperate wail, not your relieved smile, so there is no point in waiting for your long-cherished wish to be fulfilled." Assassin clicked his tongue unhappily.
