Skill extraction starting from Dragon Clan

The close confrontation between Karna and Medusa is still continuing. Every attack they make shakes the atmosphere. Explosive flames and whirlwinds are born with the collision of the two, destroying the surrounding environment like a natural disaster.

Once again, the distance increased with the collision, and Karna had to lament Medusa's difficulty. The other party's martial arts was absolutely superb, especially her maneuverability, which impressed him even more.

Unlike Karna, who purely relies on the release of magic power to form a jet-like method to move at supersonic speeds, Medusa's method of movement is to use divinity and skills to manipulate the body and perform a dimensional jump that is almost a space jump.

Because of this, her movement trajectory is quite irregular. Every time she swings her scythe, she will appear in an unexpected place. Once she misses a hit, she will immediately distance herself, peek into the opponent's gap and prepare for a second attack. As deadly as a poisonous snake.

Once Medusa catches the opportunity to fight, she will turn into a wild beast and "bite" crazily, even exchanging injuries for injuries to gain a combat advantage.

However, after fighting with Karna several times, Medusa discovered that this method was not very useful for Karna, who was wearing golden armor. The spear in the opponent's hand could easily mark huge wounds on his body. Wounds, and even if her scythe can break through the defense, the damage caused is quite limited.

Moreover, the wounds that Medusa finally inflicted could be completely healed with Karna's extremely rapid self-healing ability in just a few seconds.

For this reason, Medusa was once at a huge disadvantage. If it weren't for the reinforcement caused by Tohsaka Rin's support magic, she might have been defeated long ago.

After suffering several losses, Medusa has completely changed her strategy and purely uses the first method to harass her.

Sometimes, if Karna catches the flaw in the gap between attacks, it will lead to a very troublesome fight.

And as time went by, Medusa found that the divinity in her body was rapidly being consumed. However, Karna not only did not become weak when she faced him, but because she met a well-matched opponent, her momentum was still there. Keep improving and become more and more motivated.

Fortunately, just when Medusa began to consider whether to escape with her master in her arms, Red A's support shot finally arrived.

The brain, chest, back, arms, thighs... Once hit, they are all important parts that can affect the direction of the battle. Even if the damage caused is limited, it is enough to help one's followers gain an advantage in this ever-changing battle.

Each arrow aimed at its target, tearing apart the flames and storms on the periphery of the battlefield, and flew towards these locations on Karna's body.

Karna, who had been moving at supersonic speed in mid-air, naturally could not be hit by such a simple shot, but when he changed his movement trajectory, he found that these red arrows would still chase him.

After thinking about the possible working principle of these arrows for a moment, Karna breathed out gently, and the breath filled with the flames of the sun immediately swallowed up the arrows that were shot up.

But in the next moment, these arrows tore through the flames that surrounded them, and still chased Karna and shot over.

Frowning slightly, Karna was about to wield the Immortal Spear to chop these strange red arrows into pieces, but when he was about to take action, he found that his spear was blocked.

clang!

With the crisp sound of metal collision, the scythe that Medusa had been holding in her hand was thrown out, and the chain connected to the scythe was used to tightly hook the Immortal Spear in Karna's hand.

Wow...

Medusa silently pulled the chain. At this time, most of the chain, which had been in the spirit form, finally revealed its physical form. Only then did Karna realize that his body had been covered with chains at some point, but Before, I didn't notice it because the chain had been in the form of a spirit child.

Without too much hesitation, magic lines representing the release of strange power and magic appeared on Medusa's body again. She pulled the chain in her hand and threw Karna towards the flying red arrow like a meteor hammer.

"snort!"

With a cold snort, terrifying magic power suddenly erupted from Karna's body. A large amount of sun flames erupted along with the magic power. The chains wrapped around his body were all destroyed in an instant.

But at this time, the five arrows had already struck like meteors.

Karna waved the immortal spear in his hand and knocked down the four arrows in front of him, but only the arrow shooting behind him could not be attacked. By this time, this arrow had reached Karna's side. By his side, he could hit his back in the next moment.

At this time, it was too late to spin the immortal spear. Karna could only turn around and look behind him, shooting a red beam of light from his pupils and sweeping across, burning the arrow that tried to maneuver again into ashes.

Is this the end? No, this is just the beginning!

The few bows and arrows fired by Red A were only cover after all. The main force in the actual battle was still Medusa, and at this time she had already seized the opponent's biggest gap to launch her own attack.

call!

The sound of weapons rapidly spinning and flying came from behind, but at this time, Karna had no ability to resist at all. All his attacks had been completed and he was in the most severe moment of recovery.

With no time to turn back, Karna could only barely raise the spear in his hand to try to block the next attack, but such a loose defense was too easy for Medusa to break through.

clang!

puff!

The crisp sound of metal collision represented that the immortal spear in Karna's hand was thrown away by Medusa using the hammer at the end of the chain, and then the sharp sickle blade penetrated Karna's chest without any hindrance.

"drink!"

Being so seriously injured, Karna did not care about the wound on his chest. Instead, he held the immortal spear with both hands, rolled up a huge fire storm, and smashed it towards Medusa in front of him.

Seeing this, Medusa could only stop her attack and instead set up a black scythe to block. The immortal spear and the scythe collided continuously. The collision of flames and magic made the surrounding environment change again. Gotta get bad.

However, Red A's attack is not over yet. Since he has agreed with Rin Tosaka to consume a large amount of magic power, how can just shooting five arrows be considered a "large amount".

In order to improve his shooting efficiency, Red A did not hold on until five arrows were projected before releasing them. Instead, he chose to fire three arrows in volley.

Three sticks followed by three sticks. Red A stood on the ground and continued to project and shoot. A large amount of magic power flowed into Rin Tosaka's body and was projected into a red hound.

Because of the characteristics of the red hound, he didn't even need special aiming. He only needed to shoot the arrow, and the blood-colored arrow would automatically fly to Karna's vitals.

For a moment, the entire sky was filled with red arrows, like a swarm of piranhas, frantically chasing Karna who was moving rapidly in the air.

Next to these arrows, Medusa was constantly harassing Karna like a ghost. Once Karna was distracted by the red arrows, her harassment attack would become Killer.

In response to this endless harassment, as well as Medusa's slashes that broke through the fire defense from time to time, Karna could only keep waving his immortal spear, and the golden sun flames on his body burned fiercely, with one heart. The second stance is used to fight.

However, even so, the wounds on his body became more and more, and even exceeded the upper limit of his own high-speed recovery.

It seems that if this continues, it won't be long before Karna is dragged to death by this tactic.

Suddenly, Medusa caught a flaw that Karna showed again, stretched out her foot in the air and stepped out of the air, and the whole person disappeared. When she reappeared, she had already traveled through space and came to Karna. side of the body.

Buzz…

The high-speed swing made the purple scythe buzz slightly, and a light appeared on Medusa's body, which represented the activation of strange power skills. At the moment when Karna's attention was diverted, he used all his strength to nail the blade of the scythe. On Garner's chest gem.

Click...hiss...

When the red gem shattered, it also represented that the sickle had broken through the defense of the golden armor.

"snort……"

Garner snorted. This was probably the closest he came to death in this Holy Grail War. If he hadn't taken half a step back at the critical moment, the spiritual core in his body might have been pierced.

When he wanted to fight back, a continuous stream of red hounds had already caught up, disrupting his vision and disrupting his attack rhythm.

Medusa also planned to take this opportunity to leave his side and regain her strength for the next round of attacks.

But at this moment, an accident happened.

Since the scythe pierced deeper this time, Medusa's movement of pulling out the scythe was a little jerky due to the tightness of Karna's chest muscles.

It was this slight delay that made Karna's hand tightly grasp the blade of the sickle, preventing Medusa from leaving his side.

At this time, the sky full of bows and arrows shot by Red A had caught up with Karna who was stopped in mid-air. Dozens of arrows hit his body at the same time, and then exploded according to Red A's previous settings.

Boom!

This was a violent explosion caused by the "Collapse of Fantasy". The terrifying shock wave even caused great changes in the world. The magic of the entire street was disrupted. Under the violent high-energy radiation, everyone present's vision turned white for an instant. .

When all the dust settled, it could be seen that Medusa's sickle blade had penetrated Karna.

In order to be able to lock the enemy in front of him, Karna even did not hesitate to use his own body as a cage. After ensuring that he avoided the position of the spiritual core, he ignored the blade that continued to penetrate into the body and reached out to grab Medusa's shoulder.

This time, apart from the most serious injury to his heart, Karna's entire body was bleeding, and Medusa in front of him also suffered equally serious injuries.

At such a close distance, Medusa was unable to dodge the damage caused by Fantasy Collapse, and could only take the blow forcefully. If it weren't for the fact that Karna's body was used as the first shield to weaken Medusa. Most of the damage would have caused her to return to the Holy Grail.

"Why is this guy so difficult to deal with?!" Tohsaka Rin looked at the scene in the sky with a bitter expression, and could only subconsciously lick his dry lips.

Her lips cracked due to the high temperature in the air, and traces of blood flowed into her mouth, and she tasted the rusty taste of her own blood.

At this time, Red A shot two arrows again, but these two arrows were not for attack, but to separate the two people in the sky.

He knew very well that once Karna recovered first, Medusa in this state would have no power to fight back.

Two arrows, one accurately hit Karna's hand holding the scythe, and the other hit his other hand holding Medusa.

Karna, who had just suffered a serious injury, was now in an extremely weak state. Although he was not seriously injured due to the continuous operation of the golden armor when facing two bows and arrows, the impact of the arrows still forced him to let go. hands.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Medusa also forced her tattered body to launch another dimension jump and disappeared in front of Karna.

Looking at the enemy disappearing in front of him, Karna's originally calm face finally showed a hint of regret.

After a few breaths, flames erupted from his body. The rapidly regenerated body healed all the wounds on Karna's body. Even the penetrating wound in the center of his chest that almost cut his heart in half was fully recovered. Even the cut wound The broken gems are also regenerated again.

This is the regeneration ability provided by the golden armor driven by massive magic power, which is even comparable to some super-speed regeneration skills.

After gaining sufficient magic power, Karna is worthy of being the ceiling among the servants.

"Do you still want to continue fighting? The result should be clear by now."

Karna moved his body to make sure it was completely healed before attacking again. Instead, he looked at the people below and asked.

Everyone present fell silent, especially Red A and Medusa, who had been fighting Karna. Although they had not officially gotten along, for powerful warriors, the battle itself was the best communication.

They knew very well that this enemy was not taunting by asking, but was asking whether he should sacrifice his own life to save his Master's life.

It was obvious that the other party still had some remaining strength, but his own side had reached its limit.

Medusa's injuries have not completely healed, and both Tohsaka Rin and Matou Sakura have reached their limits. Matou Sakura has fallen into a state of weakness and cannot move, and Tohsaka Rin is in a slightly better condition. Already collapsed to the ground unable to fight.

If the battle continues, even if Karna's Noble Phantasm does not affect the two of them, the two of them will be drained of life force and die due to excessive consumption of magic power.

"That's good, so that's it for today."

A voice came from the more distant sky, making Karna, who was already confident, immediately become vigilant.

He grasped the Immortal Spear in his hand tightly and turned to look at the sky in the distance.

There, a figure was quickly approaching the battlefield.

"That's right" was heard by several people when he was still far beyond the horizon. After saying "ba", he had already arrived at the center of the battlefield carrying a sonic boom.

And it was only then that everyone present discovered that behind the figure, there was a battleship covering the sky... No, it should be a temple, but this temple is currently suspended in the air, emitting an indescribable light. Terrifying pressure.

"what is that?"

Tohsaka Rin muttered to herself in a daze, and she was so shocked that she had no time to notice Zheng Shu's arrival.

He was so distracted by the battle in front of him that when he discovered the figure of the floating temple, the other party had already revealed his full face, which shocked Rin Tohsaka's soul greatly.

The expressions of the other people present were similar to hers. Even the well-informed Karna couldn't help but shrink his pupils and his heart beat rapidly inexplicably after seeing this scene.

Even he, the god, had never seen such a magnificent scene during his lifetime.

"You guys fought really fiercely. Even if there is a repelling barrier, it will not be easy to cover it up. Ah, but I'm afraid there is no need to cover up such small information now. After all, there is a bigger one. The target is hanging from the top."

Zheng Shu looked around, put away his cloak, and let it fall to the ground.

Seeing his actions, Karna was silent for a moment, and slowly stopped releasing his magic power, letting his body fall to the ground to look at Zheng Shu's level.

"What do you want to do?"

Karna glanced at Zheng Shu, and then turned his eyes to his hands, where the unconscious Arash was still held in his hands.

"Didn't I say that? How about we get here today? After all, you also saw that big guy." Zheng Shu tilted his head in the direction of the Glory Composite Temple.

Karna was silent for a moment but did not refute. After seeing the huge temple floating in the air, he already knew that the biggest enemy in this Holy Grail War was not these guys in front of him, even if one of them was powerful. The people above him were insignificant compared to the level of war fortress in the sky in the distance.

That thing, if he still retained his god-level strength during his lifetime, he could still try a single-target breakthrough.

But now, relying only on such a temporary body that is shaped through rituals, it is a bit of a fantasy to want a single body to break through that level of war fortress.

"……good."

There was no follow-up order from Amakusa Shiro Tokisada. It seemed that they were also troubled by this powerful enemy that had just appeared, so Karna made a decisive decision.

In this situation, it would be good to retain more combat power for our side.

Zheng Shu also smiled after hearing Karna's answer, raised his hand and threw the Arash in front of him.

"The answer is very straightforward. I like decisive people like you. Let's go. If you are captured by me next time, you won't have this chance."

Karna was a little stunned after catching Arash who was thrown by Zheng Shu. He didn't expect that the other party could return Arash so happily. In any case, this was a great strength on his side.

Even if his life was saved due to the influence of the unknown enemy, according to Karna's thoughts, his side would have to pay a lot of price to bring him back.

Zheng Shu understood the reason for Karna's confusion, but he had no intention of explaining it. He just waved his hand and asked them to leave.

Logically speaking, what Karna is thinking is relatively normal. After all, because there is a powerful threat, even if they put forward some unreasonable conditions now, Amakusa Shirou Tokisada will grit his teeth and agree.

However, Zheng Shu didn't have that thought. Apart from not thinking about what more important needs he had, the most important reason was that he knew the capabilities of Amakusa Shirou Tokisada's group of people.

The Hanging Garden of Semiramis is indeed powerful, but there is still a gap compared with the Radiant Composite Temple. The main gap is the "main cannon".

Compared with the beam cannon fired by the Radiant Composite Temple when it wanted to levitate from the ground, Semiramis's hanging garden lacked a decisive attack.

After all, it can be seen from the name that the thing is actually just a "garden". It can be regarded as a "wonder" at best, not a weapon of war.

Most of the destructive power carried by the Sky Garden is at a conventional level. Compared with a battle fortress like the Glory Composite Temple, which is specially designed for fighting, there is still a certain gap.

The existence of Arash perfectly made up for the gap between the two parties. Zheng Shu was also one of the heartless Masta at that time. He had absolute confidence in the destructive power of Arash's Noble Phantasm, although it was only a one-time use. , but it is more than enough to serve as the main gun.

Just as Karna deduced, the glorious composite temple has exceeded the limit that a single servant can handle. Even Zheng Shu can only ensure that he survives. It is simply wishful thinking to break through the temple.

What's more, according to the information he obtained from the game in his previous life, within the scope of the Radiant Composite Temple, both the servant himself and his summons can obtain otherworldly resurrection abilities, and can even be called immortal.

In the game plot, La Er's head was chopped off by Wang Ha, but he was still able to live peacefully.

Although Zheng Shu is strong enough, he is definitely not a champion. If he is not a champion, he cannot give the opponent the concept of death. If he wants to kill him by force, he can only destroy the great temple first.

This leads to a paradox. The reason why you want to kill the opponent is because you cannot destroy the Grand Temple, but you cannot kill the opponent without destroying the Grand Temple.

In a sense, a single servant like Zheng Shu is really helpless when facing a servant like Osmandis.

Therefore, it is better to find a way to let Amakusa Shirou Tokisada confront Osmandis first.

Zheng Shu's idea is quite simple, so he won't care about the trivial interests. If he has the time to deal with it, he might as well make more preparations.

After watching Karna support Arash and fly away from here, Zheng Shu turned to look at the others.

"How is it going?"

"It's not too good, but it's not too bad either. I didn't suffer any serious injuries. I just fell into weakness due to the large consumption of magic power."

Red A has already checked the conditions of Tohsaka Rin and Matou Sakura. Fortunately, they are only a little weak and not injured.

"That's good." Zheng Shu nodded.

He turned to look at Medusa, who was still in the form of a child. To be honest, Zheng Shu couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the image of Medusa. He didn't expect to see it in this situation. to "Anna".

However, with his understanding of various intelligences, Zheng Shu quickly analyzed the reason why Medusa could become like this.

"Thank you for your hard work. Do you feel any discomfort now?"

Medusa shook her head calmly, even a little happy in her tone: "It feels pretty good. I haven't maintained this image for a long time."

After blinking, Zheng Shu suddenly remembered that Medusa had always felt inferior because of her tall figure, so she would be quite happy in her current form.

After understanding this, Zheng Shu smiled helplessly, reached out and touched Medusa's head, and poured all the remaining divinity in his body into her.

"Then please work harder to maintain this state, because I still have to rescue the people on the other side, so the safety here is temporarily entrusted to you."

"No problem, but Sakura seems a little unable to hold on." Medusa looked worried at Matou Sakura who was so weak that she couldn't open her eyes.

After shrinking in size, her mentality seemed to have become a little childish.

"This girl..." Zheng Shu looked at Matou Sakura and sighed helplessly.

I came to her and checked. On the back of her hand, two of the three "Command Spells" I had drawn had been consumed, but Matou Sakura did not go back to the last command spell no matter what. Instead of moving, he used his own magic power to support Medusa's consumption.

"You girl is really too stubborn. Just use up the things I drew for you. At worst, I will just draw it for you again. It's not worth it to make yourself so weak. "

Zheng Shu gently hit Matou Sakura on the head with a knife. She looked up at Zheng Shu and smiled weakly but could not say anything.

Sighing, Zheng Shu could only point his finger on the back of Matou Sakura's hand. For a moment, it was huge. And the extremely pure magic power was drawn from Zheng Shu's body and passed to Matou Sakura's body along the connection of the fingers.

On the back of the hand, the "Command Seal" that had faded in color due to exhaustion of magic power immediately became brighter again, Matou Sakura. His body, which was originally weak due to excessive consumption of magic power, also recovered quickly.

Although she could not fully recover because she could not completely make up for the loss of vitality, she would not remain in a coma.

"Okay, you guys quickly pack up and leave here, and then find a safe place to rest for a while. I'll go rescue the other two people."

After confirming that everyone was safe and sound, Zheng Shu quickly left here.

(PS: A slight update of 2,000 words is considered an extra chapter according to the conventional algorithm.)
