Chapter 340

Mordred charged at Semiramis again, but this time a giant moray eel suddenly appeared in front of the other party, opening its big mouth to swallow Mordred.

"It's a fly swallowed by a fish."

Fiore: "She can actually summon magical beasts!"

Gordes: "This is too unreasonable, where is this an Assassin!"

Mordred, who was too late to dodge, was bitten by the moray eel, and her armor made a 'creaking' squeezing sound.

This moray eel was an ancient species of divine fish, an incomparably fierce magical beast that only Semiramis, whose mother was a fish god, could summon.

Semiramis: "Hmm, it really is a fly."

"This aquatic animal is so annoying!"

Furious Mordred immediately held her sword with one hand, and the free hand stabbed upward, directly inserting into the divine fish's eyeball, digging it out.

The divine fish felt pain and released Mordred; Mordred took the opportunity to stab her sword into the other party's eye socket, ending the divine fish.

Such a brutal method stunned Semiramis.

"You are as cruel as a Berserker."

Even so, Mordred's fourth charge still failed.

Rin Tohsaka: "This method is indeed a bit brutal."

Mordred: "This is a life-and-death battle; as long as I can win, there's no such thing as brutal or not."

Qin Shi Huang: "That's right, just like the battlefield; as long as you can kill the opponent, it doesn't matter what means you use."

Waver: "But this fish, can Semiramis only summon one, or—"

Empress: "Hehehe, what do you think."

Mordred: "Dammit..."

Mordred felt a slight numbness in her feet; her nerves were affected.

The toxicity continued to spread; Mordred no longer had the energy to joke.

Semiramis mocked: "What's the matter? No energy to speak? If you don't tell some boring jokes like the clown on our Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side, it won't count as an entertainment program."

Mordred: "You stinky bug, you're so noisy!"

Semiramis: "Stinky bug?"

Illya: "What is a stinky bug?"

Irisviel: "Hmm? I don't know either."

Emiya Kiritsugu: "..."

Waver: "I've heard of it; it seems to be a type of insect that farts to drive away natural enemies."

Everyone: "Uh..."

Mordred: "Hahaha, that's right, this old woman is a stinky bug!"

Empress: "... eh, very well, I want to see if you can still laugh in a while."

Mordred: "Look at you being smug after releasing poison; if I say you're a stinky bug, you're a stinky bug! Keep being arrogant, I'll Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take your head in the next move!"

Semiramis: "I see, you really can bark. I like it, I like it very much. I'll Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take your hands and feet, destroy your throat, and raise you as a caterpillar."

"This guy has truly evil tastes."

While saying this, Mordred had already thought of the only way to break the situation.

That was, to directly release her Noble Phantasm and blast her!

【Attacking directly with a Noble Phantasm is too dangerous for Mordred, because to activate her Noble Phantasm, she must remove her helmet.】

【Crucially, if she attacks with the Noble Phantasm, it's unknown if it will be effective; once it's useless——】

【However, Mordred has no other choice.】

【Helmet removed, Mordred charges again.】

【She is still too far from the throne, she must close the distance by another ten meters.】

【Due to the poison gas, her face clearly begins to twitch, but it does not affect her determination to sprint.】

【Nine meters.】

【Dense chains attack, easily struck down by Mordred.】

【Six meters.】

【Another divine fish is summoned, but Mordred, who was prepared, splits the opponent's chin with one sword strike and leaps over its back.】

【Three meters.】

【"King of Water."】

【Semiramis is not attacking, but projecting a shield of divine fish scales in front of herself.】

【Zero.】

【Without any hesitation, Mordred begins to release the anger she has been accumulating for a long time; a thunderous sound immediately fills the entire room.】

【"'Clarent Blood Arthur'!!!"】

【Hateful red lightning turns into a light cannon and pours out, rushing toward the throne with desperate destructive power.】

【The divine fish scales are easily torn apart like paper, completely unable to block Mordred's Noble Phantasm.】

【Accompanied by a loud noise, the throne is blasted to pieces, but Semiramis is not there.】

【"Teleportation..."】

【Mordred stands there powerlessly like a deflated ball, her body trembling uncontrollably.】

【She thought that since the Empress had set up so many shields, she would have to Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take it head-on, so even if it were broken through, it would be too late to transfer.】

【Unfortunately, she took it for granted and underestimated her opponent.】

Waver: "She's basically being played like a monkey by the opponent."

Astolfo: "Really nasty, choosing to toy with the opponent when she could have defeated her directly."

Semiramis: "Oh, can I Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take that as a compliment?"

Astolfo: "Pah! Absolutely not ヾ(≧O≦)〃!"

【"Your Excellency seems to have made a fatal mistake."】

【Semiramis appears in front of Mordred and playfully touches her head.】

【"You bastard!"】

【Mordred swings her sword, but only hits the air.】

【Semiramis appears by her Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side and whispers in her ear: "Knight of Rebellion, why would you think I would fight you head-on? Is it because the enemies who have stood in your way until now were all such fools?"】

【Mordred: "Hmph, a guy who only runs away without the honor of a Heroic Spirit dares to say that..."】

【Semiramis: "Ridiculous, I am the oldest poison master; fighting head-on is for those guard dogs. Why should one in a high position compete for victory? I am not fighting you, nor am I trading blows with you; I just need to wait for you to fall into the trap."】

【"Then, Saber, let me torture you to death unilaterally."】

【Chains wrap around Mordred's hands and feet, throwing her out and slamming her heavily against a stone pillar.】

【Mordred tries to swing her sword to cut the chains, but deeply poisoned, she has lost her aim; not only does she fail to cut the chains, but she is bound by even more.】

【Semiramis: "Hehehe, let me correct the metaphor of the flying insect. Now you are as miserable as a fish on a hook, Knight of Rebellion."】

Rin Tohsaka: "So miserable."

Mordred: "This damn old hag!"

Waver: "Will this battle be a crushing defeat from beginning to end?"

Kayneth: "Isn't it obvious? Do you think Mordred has any way to counterattack?"

Waver: "Uh, no."

Mordred: "Damn it!"

Artoria: "Sigh..."

Semiramis's strength is likely very dangerous even for her to face.

Not to mention anything else, just Semiramis's poison gas; she would likely be even more embarrassed than Mordred if she went up.

Mordred still has a helmet for protection, but she has no means to resist the poison gas.

Avalon, although it can activate protection and heal wounds on the body, cannot detoxify.

【"Ugh, ugh ahhhh!"】

【Mordred, having been slammed several times, finally explodes, using all her strength to tear off the chains on her body and killing toward Semiramis again.】

【Her eyes are already blind due to the poison gas, but relying on her intuition, she can still roughly lock onto the Empress's position.】

【Although she knows this is useless, she has no other means.】
