Chapter 807: The True Mage is Invincible in Close Combat!
Chapter 807: The True Mage is Invincible in Close Combat!
"Such impressive martial arts skills, are you really a Caster and not a Rider or an Assassin?"
To be honest, if given the choice, Lancer would much rather have Night City be a Rider or an Assassin.
At least with those classes, Night City would be a warrior, possessing exceptional martial arts skills and physical abilities, which would be somewhat more acceptable.
But for a Caster to effortlessly dominate warriors like them...
"I am indeed a genuine Caster, and I believe you all have a misunderstanding about the Caster class.
Have you not heard of battle mages? True mages excel in close combat techniques and can wield various weapons, using their formidable mana primarily for support.
A mage without close combat abilities is merely a third-rate mage, incapable of dominating warriors in their own domain. How can they even be called mages?"
Upon hearing Night City's words, Lancer was left dumbfounded, feeling an itching sensation in his brain as if something was about to emerge.
Meanwhile, Golden Spark, who had been circling in his private jet, grew increasingly annoyed as he realized Night City was not pursuing him but seeking new targets.
With 'Royal Treasury' unleashed in full force, golden ripples once again engulfed the sky, affecting not only Night City but also Lancer this time.
"Damn that upstart, daring to ignore me so blatantly!"
Lancer, facing the onslaught of Noble Phantasms, retreated without hesitation.
Night City, on the other hand, split his Onyx Staff into two, and with the enhancement of his mana, they transformed into two Onyx Longswords. As intricate magical circuits resembling spider webs enveloped the swords, enhancing them, Night City fearlessly charged forward.
"Night God Stream Second Style - Divine Defense!"
A dense clanging sound filled the air as Night City, standing at the epicenter of the Noble Phantasm's release, resembled a war god, wielding his twin blades with blinding speed.
Each time his longswords struck and shattered one of Golden Spark's Noble Phantasms, they would break due to the anti-magic properties of the Noble Phantasms, but Night City's formidable mana swiftly repaired them, almost instantly restoring the blades to their former state.
When the torrent of Noble Phantasms finally ceased, the area where Night City had been standing was now in complete disarray.
However, as the dust settled and a figure emerged from the sandstorm, the onlookers' expressions changed. They had expected that even a powerful Caster would sustain some injuries from such an intense assault, but as the figure stepped forward, their surprise grew.
The Caster who emerged from the dust had tattered upper garments, revealing a well-built physique, but aside from that, he seemed almost unscathed.
To be precise, Caster did have some superficial wounds caused by the Noble Phantasms, but as he walked forward, these injuries glowed with a faint green light, and within a few breaths, they were completely healed!
The crowd's shock was understandable; they knew that defeating a Caster was never going to be easy, but none had anticipated that a Caster of such formidable power would also possess healing abilities.
The extent of Caster's healing capabilities was unknown to them, but it was evident that his endurance was exceptional, making him a far more formidable opponent than they had initially thought.
"What a resilient life, like an insect. But even so, I possess a Noble Phantasm that suppresses regeneration and healing abilities. Or should I say, if I were to instantly finish you off, what good would your self-healing abilities do you then?"
Gilgamesh spoke as he reached into his 'Royal Treasury', his mind already made up to use his ultimate trump card. The Noble Phantasm he had just unleashed was among the highest-ranked ones in his treasury, specifically designed to counter Yecheng.
The fact that Yecheng had survived such an attack meant that, aside from Ea, none of his other Noble Phantasms could defeat the opponent.
Though reluctant to admit it, Golden Spark had to acknowledge that against the current Yecheng, aside from his trump card Ea, he seemed to lack any other winning strategy.
"Your Majesty, the most ancient of kings, I, your loyal subject, beseech you to call off your attack for tonight."
Faruzuki Tokito, who had been lurking in the shadows, sensed Gilgamesh's anger and his intention to use his ultimate Noble Phantasm. He hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
"Tokito, you scoundrel, dare you suggest I hold back now? If I don't eliminate Caster tonight, how can I establish myself in this world?"
"Your Majesty, the most ancient of kings, your power is undoubtedly formidable, and even Caster is but a speck of dust before you.
But tonight is merely the first night of the Holy Grail War. If the mightiest king and Caster were to inflict mutual destruction upon each other, it would only benefit the other Heroic Spirits and Masters.
Caster's display of strength and mystery tonight has undoubtedly aroused the wariness of other Masters. Even if we remain on the sidelines, others will take care of Caster for us."
Since summoning the most ancient of kings and with the assistance of his disciple, Kirei Shiki, Faruzuki Tokito had initially believed this Holy Grail War to be a sure win.
But no one could have anticipated the appearance of such an unconventional Caster in this Holy Grail War.
The true name of the most ancient king had been exposed, and using Ea might offer a chance to eliminate Caster. However, such a situation was undoubtedly unfavorable for them.
If Caster were to be eliminated, the next target of collective attacks would undoubtedly be Gilgamesh, the user of Ea.
Everyone understood the principle of the fisherman profiting from the fight between the snipe and the clam. Faruzuki Tokito wanted to be the fisherman, not the bird or the clam.
"Stop using the excuse of considering my well-being to hinder me. Aside from Caster, the rest are merely a bunch of mediocre magi, whom I do not consider a threat.
I declared that I would kill Caster tonight, and I will not go back on my word!"
Seeing that his usual persuasive tactics were ineffective, Faruzuki Tokito grew anxious.
Using Ea at this moment would only reveal their trump card prematurely and attract unwanted attention, bringing no benefits to them. Faruzuki Tokito sought stability, but the most ancient king was recklessly impulsive.
As the situation threatened to spiral out of his control, Faruzuki Tokito gritted his teeth and used the Command Spell in his possession.
On the other side, Golden Spark, who had been preparing to use Ea, was speaking his lines with great flamboyance. However, just as he was about to draw out his ultimate Noble Phantasm, his body suddenly began to uncontrollably transform into golden specks of light, dissipating into the air.
Realizing what was happening, Golden Spark immediately shouted in anger, "Tokito, you damn scoundrel, how dare you defy me! Caster, when we meet again, I will..."
Before Gilgamesh could finish his threat, his figure completely vanished into the air.
