Chapter 289: · Combat Paused, Diverting the Disaster

(Atalanta)

"These are all Noble Phantasms!"

Karna was somewhat startled while dodging.

It was his first time seeing someone so extravagant as to use Noble Phantasms as projectiles.

Having not watched the streamed videos, he was completely unaware of Gilgamesh's capabilities.

"Clang! Clatter! Clang!!!"

Quickly adapting, Karna brandished his great spear, batting away all the incoming Noble Phantasms.

"Hahaha, you have some skill, but that alone won't be enough."

Gilgamesh sneered: "Bind him, Chains of Heaven!"

Dense, swarming chains flew out, striking toward Karna.

Although Karna did not know the effect of the Chains of Heaven, his "Discernment of the Poor" allowed him to judge from Gilgamesh's demeanor that he must not be touched by these chains.

Consequently, Karna retreated rapidly, constantly dodging the pursuit of the Chains of Heaven, falling into a disadvantage for the moment.

As members of the "Golden Trio," Karna, Gilgamesh, and Ozymandias shared a relationship of mutual restraint.

Gilgamesh restrains the Little Sun, the Little Sun restrains Ozymandias, and Ozymandias restrains Gilgamesh.

Of course, this restraint refers to their Noble Phantasms, not their overall strength.

Gilgamesh's Chains of Heaven are the bane of divinity; once Karna, who possesses A-rank Divinity, is caught, he cannot break free at all.

The reason Ozymandias is restrained by the Little Sun is that Karna's divinity is set to a defense-specialized type, capable of significantly immunizing against damage caused by other Servants of the Sun God lineage.

Although the effective range is small, Ozymandias happened to run right into it.

As a Pharaoh, Ozymandias is an emissary of the sun and possesses divinity belonging to the Sun God lineage, so all his attacks were significantly weakened by Karna's Golden Armor.

As for Ozymandias restraining Gilgamesh, it is because his Great Temple is of the same rank as Gilgamesh's Ea, and it possesses Anti-Purge defensive capabilities, allowing it to perfectly withstand Ea's attacks.

Therefore, facing Gilgamesh, it was inevitable that Karna would fall into a disadvantage.

"Ah, let us continue the battle, oppressor!"

At the same time, Spartacus had also killed his way back.

Diarmuid went straight to meet him.

He had been holding back a breath in his heart, wanting to wash away his shameful record from the Fourth Holy Grail War.

However, he had chosen the wrong opponent this time.

Facing the sturdy-bodied Spartacus, neither his Gae Dearg nor Gae Buidhe could inflict damage on the opponent.

Helpless, he could only kite him while dealing chip damage.

Feng Xi had intended to remind him of Spartacus's abilities, but seeing this scene, he felt there was no need.

Artoria, Qin Shi Huang, and Hassan of the Hundred Faces remained by Feng Xi's side, not interfering.

The battle situation shifted instantly; the Red Faction, which had held the numerical advantage, suddenly became the disadvantaged side.

The battle remained deadlocked like this, soon lasting until dawn.

The Red Faction received a telepathic message from Amakusa Shirou and prepared to retreat.

"Alright, stop."

Seeing this, Feng Xi also called Gilgamesh and the others back.

Not fighting during the day was a basic rule.

Iskandar: "Hahaha, Achilles, we shall decide the victor next time."

Achilles: "No problem."

"Next time, I will definitely kill you!"

Atalanta stood on Achilles's chariot, glaring fiercely at Gilles de Rais.

She had not expected Gilles de Rais to have so much magical energy; the Sea Horrors kept coming one after another, and they were endless.

Gilles de Rais: "A woman who does not understand art; I have no interest in further communication with you."

Subsequently, the four members of the Red Faction spirit-formed and vanished.

The few who had fought for so long sat on the ground to rest, appreciating the morning sun.

Gilgamesh: "Kid, how did you traverse to this world?"

Feng Xi: "Why should I tell you?"

Gilgamesh: "You fellow, could it be that you are seeking death!"

Feng Xi: "Hey, hey, don't forget, I am your Master now."

Gilgamesh: "Ha, you don't think you can control me with that, do you? You are too naive."

Qin Shi Huang: "Gilgamesh, put away your petty thoughts. My subjects are not to be harmed by a petty king like you, nor is the property of my subjects to be coveted by you."

Gilgamesh: "What did you say!"

Sparks flew between the two instantly.

Iskandar: "Actually, I am also very curious about how you came to this world."

Artoria: "Mm-hmm (●? ●)."

Seeing that everyone was so curious, Feng Xi stopped hiding it.

"This, called the King of Capture's Weiqiyin, is the supreme treasure of the ZG Mage's Association. It is a divine artifact crafted several thousand years ago by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors using crystals from beyond the heavens, pooling the efforts of several generations. It can traverse worlds..."

Feng Xi began to spout nonsense, running his mouth off.

Artoria, Iskandar, and the others nodded repeatedly, sighing in admiration.

When it came to bluffing, Feng Xi, deeply influenced by web novels, could just open his mouth and speak, and his logic was extremely sound.

Even Qin Shi Huang was bluffed into it, beginning to recall whether there was any information related to the Capture King Weiqiyin in the documents he had sought for immortality in the past.

Gilgamesh originally did not believe Feng Xi's ghost stories—after all, how could such a supreme treasure fall into his hands? —but recalling Feng Xi's cheating luck, it seemed reasonable again.

"Alright, we should go."

After talking for a long time, Feng Xi's throat was a bit dry; he stood up and brushed off his backside.

Everyone also stood up one after another; after all, they couldn't stay on the side of this road forever.

Iskandar: "That, how are we going to leave?"

He had the Gordius Wheel, which could spirit-form so as not to be seen, but the Gordius Wheel couldn't carry so many people.

"Rest assured, let me show you, so someone doesn't say I'm spouting nonsense."

Feng Xi smiled and tossed out the Capture King Weiqiyin; instantly, the golden-red Weiqi Colt appeared before everyone's eyes.

The Weiqi Colt could not only be used for inter-world travel but could also be driven like an ordinary car.

"Oh, this ride is not bad."

Gilgamesh's eyes were instantly glued to it.

The golden-red color scheme and the sleek body were completely in line with his aesthetic.

Feng Xi: "Heh heh."

However, although there was a car, there were nine people in total, so it still wouldn't fit.

The car could only seat five people at most.

"It doesn't matter, I have this."

Artoria directly summoned her own Dun Stallion.

"That's right, I forgot I had this too."

Iskandar also took out the motorcycle he had swiped from Waver during the Fourth Holy Grail War.

"Hmph, what is this."

Gilgamesh, unwilling to fall behind, also took out a golden motorcycle.

This was something he had Tokiomi Tohsaka custom-make for him during the Fourth Holy Grail War; the configuration and everything else were the best.

"Hmph."

Just at this moment, the overbearing Qin Shi Huang directly got on the bike, monopolizing the entire back seat. ===== CHAPTER 291 =====
