Chapter 857: Sakura's Dual Cultivation in Magic and Martial Arts
Chapter 857: Sakura's Dual Cultivation in Magic and Martial Arts
"It's actually Hercules... No wonder I felt fear and palpitations when I saw him earlier."
The Noble Phantasm 'Twelve Labors', what outrageous effects and abilities it possesses. Facing the legendary great hero, not only does one have to kill him twelve times, but each time, a different method must be used."
Upon hearing Illya's revelation, Medea's face also showed an extremely unpleasant expression.
As a being from Greek mythology herself, she was well aware of the greatness of the hero Hercules.
Setting aside other factors, his background and the attributes he possessed in legends were almost like a perfect counter to her and Medusa's existence.
The birth of Heroic Spirits was originally based on their legends and history. In myths and legends, Hercules, who slaughtered monsters and villains as if they were chickens and dogs, was an absolute nemesis to sorceresses and female monsters.
"So what if he's a great hero of Greece, no one can stop me from finding Teacher Yecheng!"
As Sakura spoke, she channeled and compressed the magical power within her body, quickly forming a 'Magic Bullet' in front of her, which she then fired towards the location of Alice Phil and Illya.
After witnessing Sakura's determination, Medusa, without hesitation, rode her Pegasus and charged towards the Greek hero who was her natural counter.
Even though the Noble Phantasm 'Bridle of the Knightly Hero' could no longer inflict damage on Hercules, she could still engage in close combat.
The effect of the Noble Phantasm 'Bridle of the Knightly Hero' was not just a charge-type Noble Phantasm for the army. While riding a Pegasus, all of Medea's attribute values would increase by one rank.
Her inherent ability, 'Super Strength', combined with the agility of the Pegasus, made Medea more than capable of overpowering Hercules in close combat!
On the other side, facing the compressed Magic Bullet released by Sakura, Alice Phil also protected Illya by standing behind her and using her magic 'Metal Form Manipulation'.
"Shapeist Leben! (O remains, grant you life)"
Alice Phil's metal manipulation magic, originally a two-verse incantation, was now easily cast by her as three verses due to the enhancement of her magical circuits by Yecheng. If she pushed herself, she could even manage four-verse incantation magic, which was of a considerably high level.
It was worth noting that incantation magic of four verses or more was already of a very high rank, capable of inflicting damage even on Heroic Spirits.
Silver threads crisscrossed and intertwined in the air, forming intricate outlines, like woven basketry.
Soon, a silver eagle with fierce wings, a sharp beak, and sharp claws appeared before Alice Phil.
Facing the compressed Magic Bullet released by Sakura, the silver eagle's wings closed, directly shielding Alice Phil and Illya beneath its wings.
However, just as the Magic Bullet exploded, Sakura had already drawn a long sword, dashed in front of Alice Phil and Illya, and with a single strike, beheaded the silver eagle.
Seeing Sakura's magic and astonishing swordsmanship, Rin Tohsaka, who was not far away, looked at Sakura with astonishment, as if she were seeing her unfamiliar sister for the first time.
She had always believed that Sakura was innocent, kind, and weak, needing her protection.
But now... How weak was she! Sakura's strength, as displayed moments ago, allowed her to effortlessly fight against both Rin and Shirou Emiya.
Whether it was the compressed Magic Bullet or the astonishing swordsmanship she just displayed, these were naturally skills she had learned from Yecheng.
In the short time she spent with Night City, she received a wealth of study materials, and after ten years, Shinjiya Sakura was no longer the helpless little girl she once was.
Whether it was to help her teacher or prepare for the next Holy Grail War, Xiao Ying trained herself tirelessly.
Ten years later, she was no longer the defenseless girl she once was.
"With the help of your teacher, you've become much stronger than before, Alice Phil."
But it was useless. Although the multi-section incantation magic was powerful, I won't give you the time to cast it."
With just one slash, the metal giant eagle protecting Alice Phil and the others crumbled.
Just as Xiao Ying was about to stab Illya with her sword to threaten Alice Phil, a figure in a blue battle skirt suddenly appeared before Alice Phil and blocked Xiao Ying's attack.
Undoubtedly, the person who saved Alice Phil and the others was Saber, who had been standing by their side all along.
To be fair, as competitors in the Holy Grail War, it would be advantageous for Xiao Ying to eliminate the Berserker's master.
But Saber didn't know why; when she saw Alice Phil in danger, her body moved on its own to save her.
Although it was their "first" meeting, the feeling Saber gave her was as if they had known each other for a long time.
In this Holy Grail War, Saber's ability parameters were incredibly weak, and even with the mana provided by Shirou Emiya, it was uncertain if she could execute a "Curry Stick" attack.
But being a Heroic Spirit, the renowned Knight King, she was still capable of suppressing Xiao Ying.
"Saber, you're always a nuisance, no matter when or where."
Blocked by Saber, Medea was furious. She immediately used 'Rapid Divine Utterance' to release a barrage of magic bullets towards Saber.
"Seven Rings of the Fiery Sky!"
Just as the magic bullets were about to fall, Red A also intervened, creating a seven-layered shield resembling petals that blocked the rain of magic bullets.
Seeing her magic countered, Medea borrowed the power of the magic field 'Temple' to cast a forbidden-level grand magic.
At that moment, Yuanban Lin threw out several gems, which, upon landing, released colorful smoke. By the time Xiao Ying and the others regained their senses, the figures of the group had already disappeared.
Hercules, who had been fighting Medusa, soon received an order and quickly withdrew from the battlefield.
Medusa, riding on Pegasus, might have been able to suppress Berserker, but stopping him from leaving or defeating him was out of the question. In the end, they could only watch as he retreated.
As Alice Phil and the others disappeared from sight, the malice born from 'This World's Evil' intensified within Xiao Ying, affecting even Medusa and Medea, who received her mana, to some extent.
"Let's go to Ensonzan and use the spirit vein there. I can create another massive Dragon Fang Soldier legion.
When the time comes, I'll order the Dragon Fang Soldiers to surround and search the entire city. I won't believe it if we can't find them and Night City!"
