Chapter 881: The Inferno Strike Against Avalon!
Chapter 881: The Inferno Strike Against Avalon!
Roar of My Hatred (La Grondement Du Haine) has two release methods, both being the highest-ranked Anti-Unit Artifacts, differing only in that one is a Buff Enhancement, while the other is used for attack.
As an Avenger, she transforms her own and the surrounding grudges into mana and burns them, causing the flames of karma to continuously gather, burning away the opponent's unjust or impure, self-righteousness down to their very bones.
Additionally, when an ally dies, the power of this Artifact will further increase.
The curse strike of karma and endless hatred is presented in the form of a thrust to symbolize the meaning of "stake."
In the legend, the Saint Jeanne d'Arc was executed by being impaled on a stake and died in the flames of karma.
Saber, who had just used the Sword of Promised Victory, saw the approaching flames of karma and the temperature far surpassing the dragon's breath from before. She intended to use the Curry Stick again, but it was too late.
The all-consuming flames of karma swept in, and Saber glanced at the blue scabbard at her waist. In the end, she could only draw it out and use it to block the attack.
The scabbard had a striking blue enamel decoration set in golden metal, and in the center were the long-lost fairy letters.
"Distant Avalon!"
As Saber's exquisite scabbard instantly disintegrated, a golden shield appeared before her like a barrier. The previously awe-inspiring vengeful flames now seemed to encounter an insurmountable barrier, all blocked in front of Saber.
As Black Jeanne's curse strike of karma and hatred pierced the golden shield in front of Saber, it surprisingly couldn't penetrate the seemingly fragile golden shield. Instead, with a crisp "ding," golden ripples formed on the golden shield, like ripples on water.
Very soon, Black Jeanne felt an astonishing repulsive force on the arm holding her flag.
Before she could even react, her body was already thrown by this repulsive force, creating a deep trench in the ground!
Distant Avalon - Avalon, the strongest defensive Artifact in the Type-Moon universe, without a doubt.
Even the 'Heaven Sealing Sevenfold Ring,' often used by Red A, is said to have a defensive power comparable to a wall for each layer of its barrier, but it's all garbage in front of Avalon.
Distant Avalon, also known as Avalon, is the scabbard of the sacred sword Excalibur. According to the legend, the loss of the scabbard by the Knight King led to the fate of his kingdom's demise.
The scabbard's ability is immortality, capable of healing the wielder's wounds and halting aging.
Such powerful effects are merely passive; as long as one carries the scabbard, its powers can be utilized.
Upon True Name Release of Avalon, it disassembles into tiny components that unfold in the air, protecting the wielder from all interference.
This protection ignores all magic and physical attacks, even capable of reflecting attacks in "Absolute Protection."
As the strongest Interdimensional Ex Defense Artifact, when the scabbard is unfolded, it can even withstand a direct hit from the EX-rank Artifact Estray Sword EA, the personal barrier of the Conqueror King, which can destroy even Anti-World Noble Phantasms with a single strike.
As an Anti-Unit Artifact, Avalon is also known as a "Mobile Fortress" due to its ability to ignore all physical interference. It is immune to interference from all parallel worlds, earning it the title of the strongest known defense in this world, forming an absolute defense that even the Five Great Magics cannot breach!
Black Jeanne's curse strike of karma is powerful, but even so, it cannot shake Avalon, the Type-Moon universe's strongest defensive Artifact.
According to reason, the damage suffered by Avalon should have been rebounded to the opponent, and the previous attack by Black Jeanne was so powerful that even if it was a rebound, it would have been enough to leave her severely injured or even dead.
But to Saber's astonishment, Black Jeanne was indeed injured, but under the vengeful aura of black mist, her wounds quickly healed.
Self-Transformation, Rank: EX, is a special transformation achieved through the Holy Grail, allowing Saint Joan of Arc to completely reverse her fall into Chaos·Evil. No matter how severe the damage to her body, as long as her hatred remains, she can continuously regenerate at a rapid pace.
"I never imagined that there would be a force in this world that could match, no, even supplement my hatred... Although it's a bit late to say this now, perhaps this is a miracle.
The power you wield is somewhat similar to another version of myself, but seeing such power only intensifies my hatred!"
Avalon's protection did indeed resemble that of Saint Joan of Arc's Noble Phantasm, "My Lord Is Here," in its regular state. Both are defensive Noble Phantasms with counter-attack abilities.
And not only did Saber resemble her physically, but even her Noble Phantasm and personality were quite similar, which only fueled Black Jeanne's hatred as she glared at Saber.
Saber frowned deeply as she witnessed Black Jeanne's hatred intensifying, her aura becoming stronger by the second.
With the power of the Sword of Promised Victory and Avalon, Saber could hold her ground against Black Jeanne.
However, this situation was only temporary. Although Avalon was incredibly powerful, Saber, as a Servant with a Noble Phantasm, had her weaknesses.
True Name Release of Noble Phantasms required mana consumption, and even though Avalon, as an Anti-World Noble Phantasm, only affected one person, the amount of mana it consumed was not negligible.
In fact, after releasing the Sword of Promised Victory and then Avalon, and with the continuous use of Wind King Barrier in battle, Saber had already consumed more than half of her mana.
In contrast, Black Jeanne possessed the Class Skills 'Avenger' and 'Self-Healing (Mana)', along with her Noble Phantasm 'Self-Transformation,' making her an almost invincible machine, unafraid of prolonged battles.
Avenger, Rank: B, grants her enhanced power when attacked due to the accumulation of hatred and grudges. However, due to the correction of Orleans, her hatred is not as intense as before.
Self-Healing (Mana), Rank: A+, allows her to continuously regenerate mana until her vengeance is fulfilled.
Saber, having fought for a long time but still in excellent condition, even stronger than before, looked at the other side where Shirou Emiya and Rin Tohsaka were struggling against Kiritsugu Emiya. She finally decided to retreat for the night.
They had learned enough about Avenger's strength and information, and Saber realized that Black Jeanne was not an opponent she could defeat alone.
Although she wanted to join forces with the Night City group, she couldn't do nothing. With the information gathered tonight, Saber was confident she could convince them to cooperate.
"Shirou, Rin, follow the plan and don't engage in prolonged battles. Avenger is far more formidable than we imagined."
