Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

91. You are also a dragon!

The protection of Gaia's consciousness allows the giant of light controlled by Lu Mingfei to obtain an almost unlimited supply of power as long as his legs touch the earth.

However, it is obvious that Gaia consciousness does not intend to lend a helping hand to mankind in crisis.

The Witch of Despair is located 10,000 meters above the Mediterranean Sea. If you challenge her, it will be impossible not to fly away from the earth.

The further away from the earth, the power given by Gaia consciousness will decline, and it is impossible to use light cannons to attack from a long distance.

Forget about dragging the Witch of Despair to the ground. If you can pull her to the ground, you don't need the power of Gaia consciousness.

In this way, Gaia Consciousness expressed to Lu Mingfei and Chaldea its complete unwillingness to help humans overcome difficulties.

The ultimate goal was to deal with the monster from the other world R'lyeh. It could even be said that dealing with it was because Gaia's consciousness was disgusted by the existence of that kind of thing in her body, and it was a kind of mysophobia.

The power of the Witch of Despair comes from humans - the human emotion of 'despair' itself.

Gaia doesn't want to touch it.

Although he didn't speak, the feeling of disgust spread to Lu Mingfei's heart.

Lu Mingfei really wanted to complain: "Auntie, if you are so unwilling, why don't you let me have such a good time like that?" If you don't feel good about it, forget it. What does it mean when you let people try out the power and then take it back after feeling good?

Why do you still want to lend me your power when you hate humans so much?

Sure enough, is it because the little devil has some ulterior deal with Gaia—and Mother Earth itself?

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but think in his heart.

Thoughts were broken, since Gaia was unwilling to help save the world - save human history, he could not stop like this.

The shrill song of the Witch of Despair has resounded throughout the sky over the Mediterranean Sea. Countless dark beams of light fell from the sky and hit the barrier of the Mobile Holy Capital covering most of France.

I can bear it for now.

However, due to the appearance of the Witch of Despair, the dragons became more violent and crazy. The changed ecological environment that Lu Mingfei and others had seen was once again destroyed, and all the dragon species acted in a suicidal manner. The madness rushed towards the defense line, and together with the fierce artillery fire and the soldiers who were also fighting desperately, they formed the most cruel and bloody meat grinder.

The old dragon group is still raging, but the new dragon group has been born and rushed towards the defense line one after another.

Compared to a dragon, it looks more like the 'space insect swarm' that often appears in science fiction works.

The tragic situation cannot be described in words.

But everything up to this point was within the plan of the Holy King and Chaldea.

After destroying the Great Sea Demon, a floating fleet composed of the main ship Archangel and more than 300 frigates rose into the sky.

Because most of the human beings who are still alive have gathered around Paris. Compared to the fifteen million people, although the fleet of several hundred people seems huge, it is not considered as such by the dragons. Main target of attack——

Compared with the tens of millions, and even Lu Mingfei suspected that there were more than 100 million dragons attacking the Mobile Holy City at this time, it can indeed be said to be 'very few'.

After all, no matter how big this fleet is, it is still too small compared to the mobile holy capital that has arrived at the continental scale.

But in the sky above the Mediterranean Sea, in the middle of the body of the Witch of Despair, which was almost completely hidden by the clouds, there were at least tens of thousands of bipedal flying dragons and giant dragons blocking her way.

Lu Mingfei heard Da Vinci sigh on the public channel.

"It would be great if all these dragons could be turned into materials and sent to Chaldea."

Da Vinci's voice was full of regret.

Getting to this point was within the plan of Chaldea and the Holy King.

Although the floating fleet in the air is named a fleet, although at first glance it looks very similar to the futuristic fleet in science fiction movies due to design reasons related to art aesthetics, it is completely different in nature.

This decisive battle fleet composed of the sacred gold and white is not a 'fleet' in essence, but a mobile magic ritual platform with the ability to fly.

From plane to three-dimensional, large and small ships were arranged into a three-dimensional formation in the order that had been practiced for a month. When Giorgios rode the phantom horse Bayard to the sky above the main ship, he raised the holy sword Ascalon high. (Ascalon)', the ceremony is declared complete.

The Holy Sword Ascalon is an invincible holy sword that can keep away all malice and harm.

The so-called invincibility does not mean defeating the enemy, but invincibility that protects the holder from all enemies - that is, with it as the center, an invincible position barrier is deployed to protect the holder.

The entire fleet, including Lu Mingfei who controlled the Giant of Light, and even the Furious Witch Atalanta, all came under the protection of this position.

The two-legged flying dragons rushed into the barrier one after another, and then shattered into pieces in front of the shining light, bringing up pieces of blood mist and falling towards the Mediterranean Sea.

This is——[St. George’s Sanctuary]

“It’s like an artificially simulated country of salvation—heaven.”

Not sure what her thoughts were, Prelati, disguised as a female Merlin, sighed in the public channel.

As the most famous and popular patron saint of countries and regions in Europe, the prototype of the Seraph Michael, the defensive stance transformed by the spirit and inheritance of St. Giorgios.

Within this singularity, the only one who can break through this holy realm, apart from the Witch of Despair who cannot be defeated head-on except for the supernormal theory, is Lucifer (who is considered to be Michael's old enemy).

St. George's Sanctuary sheltered the savior team. They rose all the way to an altitude of several thousand meters, breaking through the obstruction of the clouds. After arriving above the sea of ​​clouds, they finally got a glimpse of the terrifying figure of the Witch of Despair.

The song containing the curse of despair struck the Sanctuary of St. George, causing ripples on the surface of the golden stand.

"It won't be long before the Witch of Despair will attack us."

At this time, half of his long brown hair turned into blond hair, platinum wings loomed behind him, and Giorgios, holding Ascalon high, informed everyone.

"The 'Sacred Domain' at this stage cannot block the attack. Please be prepared to attack."

——Prepare for an attack.

Now there is no need to waste any more words.

The plan had been written long ago and everyone involved in the battle had been informed.

The attack of the Witch of Despair, no matter what form it appears on the surface - whether it is an all-crushing pressure, an overwhelming swarm of endless dragons, or a devastating energy bombardment, or even that disturbing The eerie singing.

Their essence is the ‘curse of despair’

It is the "biggest and most evil despair" caused by the fact that "human history has reached the end of destruction".

The journey of human restoration is not a journey to save the world, but a journey to correct history in order to change the result of the destruction of the human world.

To put it more bluntly, it is “negative emotions”.

Then the countermeasures are naturally very simple.

The Holy King has been preparing for this for too long.

Thanks to the efforts of everyone headed by Lu Mingfei, and also thanks to the outbreak of the dragon disaster, 15 million people were forced into a desperate situation. In this desperate situation, a god rose out of thin air to protect them. The walls of the Mobile Holy Capital are the opposite of despair——

hope

In order to prepare for the final battle with the Witch of Despair, the Mobile Holy City has accumulated more than a month of "positive feelings".

In the form of faith and in the name of virtue, the truth, goodness and beauty in human hearts are accumulated.

Then, the main cannon extending from the center of the main ship Archangel, and the endless light blooming in it, was the Holy King's trump card.

The reason why the Holy King single-handedly carried the "Curse of Despair" for fifteen million people was to extract the purest "Blessing of Hope" from them.

I hope blessings are not so complicated: you can have a sip of delicious hot soup after hard work, your children's illness can be recovered under the care of doctors, and you can use the money you earn to buy new furniture for your family.

The longing for the future is hope and blessing.

[Big Blessing and Hope Cannon] - This name was literally translated into Chinese and sent to Lu Mingfei's ears, so it sounded somewhat inconsistent, but now is not the time to pursue the matter of Xindaya.

Although it is called bombardment.

But it wasn't actually a shelling.

In order to fight against the curse of despair, what is needed is the pure blessing of hope. To this end, the Holy King used particularly extreme methods to purify the goodwill in these beliefs.

That method is himself.

The spiritual power of the Father of Europe, Emperor Charles the Great, as the father of all European civilization, filters out all evil thoughts and bears them as a burden for himself alone.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Holy King forcibly pulls his own spiritual base into the singularity instead of acting as a cloned servant. Even though he is so powerful, he still becomes old and weak quickly visible to the naked eye. ,This is it.

The Holy King is very cruel. He is cruel to others and even more cruel to himself.

If you abandon most people, no, but some people, even if the Holy King does not have the idea of ​​"I want to save everyone" in his heart, he will not be so weak.

Perhaps what supported him was his belief in ‘correctness’.

But it is precisely because of this that the light of pure kindness can be collected.

These good intentions can be inclusive of everything. Although they are called [cannons], in fact, no life within the range of the released bombardment will be harmed.

It's not so much a bombardment as a 'channel' released through the cannon.

Pure goodwill and all positive emotions can isolate the Curse of Despair. It will turn into a pillar of light reaching the sky, sending Lu Mingfei and Camilla to the main body of the Witch of Despair.

But this thing has a flaw.

Due to limited time and the fact that the Holy King's body may not be able to hold it, the length of the Light Pillar is limited and cannot be directly connected from the ground to the sky.

To put it bluntly, the length is insufficient.

That's why we need to build this floating fleet, which can not only deploy the Saint George Sanctuary to block the flying dragon, but also rise high enough into the air to shorten the distance from the Witch of Despair on a physical level.

Because the Sea Devil was unexpectedly and smoothly eliminated, the Archangel fleet was unexpectedly and smoothly launched into the air, without even the slightest damage, and you can exert your effect at the highest level.

——Then let’s begin

Lu Mingfei controlled the Giant of Light and came to the vicinity of the launch port with Camilla.

The Great Blessing Cannon has been launched, and the pillar of light breaks through the light of despair and opens up a path.

Before he was about to step into the passage, Giorgios suddenly came to the shoulders of the giant with a child.

It's actually Alta?

"Is there any problem? Mr. Saint George?" the Holy King asked Giorgios somewhat unexpectedly.

Obviously this was not what he expected.

But it's not a big deal.

"Her power can be put to use, so gather all the preparations as much as possible." Giorgios said.

Then, Giorgios showed a gentle smile to Alta, which seemed a little apologetic in the gentleness. Alta even heard a very quiet "I'm sorry".

"?" Alta blinked blankly.

Immediately afterwards, Giorgios took off the skin of his coat and put the holy cross of the Cross on the body of the dragon witch.

"This child is the 'Dragon Witch'. As long as she cooperates with this ability, she can strengthen you Lucy to some extent, so take her with you."

This cloak is the third Noble Phantasm belonging to Giorgios.

Originally, considering Giorgios's character, he actually didn't like this Noble Phantasm.

Because the meaning contained in this Noble Phantasm is a manifestation of the ‘aggression’ developed by the Cross Religion during its expansion—

This is the embodiment of ‘degrading the identity of others’.

As long as you wear this cloak, you can identify the target at will. Even if the target is a god, you can reduce it to a 'dragon (demon)' on a conceptual level.

Although it will not affect the opponent's strength, the existence that is devalued as a 'dragon' will be harmed by the 'Dragon Special Attack' of the Dragon Slayer Heroic Spirits.

The dragon is twisted into a demon in the Christian religion and is a symbol of 'evil'. In other words, the effect of this Noble Phantasm is actually very arrogant, using one's own prejudice to judge the 'good and evil' of others.

The cats who were slaughtered as symbols of evil during the plague clicked and stepped on.

But Giorgios is a very open-minded person after all, and he is a very rare type among saints who does not dig into others' opinions.

If you don't like this Noble Phantasm, you don't like it, but you will naturally use it when it comes in handy.

After patting little Aruta's head, the girl's eyes looked at Giorgios in a trance, making it unclear whether it was Giorgos or Michael who said this.

But the tone of this blessing is genuine.

"[You are the dragon (Abyssus Draconis)]"

After sending Alta and the cloak into the body of the Giant of Light, Lu Mingfei, Alta, and Camilla all gained dragon attributes due to the effect of the Noble Phantasm.

Alta's enhanced skill that has always been useless - [Dragon Witch EX] finally takes effect.

——Every preparation possible has been made

Although the Holy King did not know the significance of Giorgios' behavior, he still gave Lu Mingfei a final explanation under the urging of time:

"There is only one bombardment and only one chance."

"Lucifer-kun, your mission is to ride on the Pillar of Light and go to the true form of the Witch of Despair."

"We will isolate the curse of despair for you. What you have to do is to break through the final 'despair'."

The final 'despair' standing between everyone and the Witch of Despair.

If the 'evil dragon phenomenon' currently raging in the world and ravaging human civilization is the despair of the destruction of all human history, this despair that finally stops everyone in front of everyone belongs to Eliza and Camilla - it belongs to ' The Innocent Monster' Elizabeth's Despair.

In layman’s terms, it’s the ‘wall of the heart’.

It's just that the quality and thickness of this wall of heart have become extremely terrifying due to the influence of the original sin of despair.

To use Lu Mingfei’s gaming terminology.

This wall of the heart is not 'indestructible', but 'incomparably thick'.

But at this time, the deadly sin weapon [Gluttony] prepared by Prelati came in handy.

Now, take advantage of the blessing of hope and go to the Witch of Despair - to Elizabeth!
