Chapter 443

【Vlad III: "Red Lancer, you are indeed worthy of the title of hero. With this armor of yours, let alone iron stakes, I'm afraid even a battering ram would have no effect."】

【Karna: "You flatter me, King."】

【Vlad III: "If you were not a heretic, I would definitely allow your surrender. This is the only thing that is a pity. I didn't expect you to believe in a false god."】

【Karna: "How can you be sure that the god I believe in is a false god?"】

【Vlad III: "Of course I know. A so-called god is an absolute existence that is pure and flawless. Otherwise, who would believe in it? Who would rely on it? Gods who have intercourse with people, sleep with people—they are just ugly monsters."】

【Karna: "That's hard to say. It's natural for faith to change with different regions. If it's an area where floods often occur, then the existence that controls water is the god. If you say that our gods and their gods are all monsters, then the god you believe in is also a monster on which the concept of absolute existence has been imposed."】

【"Ugh..."】

【The conflict of faith ignites Vlad III's anger.】

Vlad III: "Hmph, I didn't expect you to be so sharp-tongued, Karna."】

Karna: "I'm just stating my views."】

Waver: "Hey, hey, they were fighting well, how did it turn into a struggle between faiths?"】

Iskandar: "Hahaha, kid, the struggle between faiths is the most intense."】

Kayneth: "Correct. Whether in the past or present, the struggle of faith has never stopped."】

【Karna: "I see. You are indeed very violent, Impaling Prince. For you, these iron stakes are both attack and defense, both a demonstration and a symbol of terror."】

【Vlad III: "What?"】

【"Defining territory, defining cities, defining things to protect."】

【Karna says faintly: "In other words, you are actually trying to form a country by yourself. Is it love for your homeland that drives you to do this? Or is it a sense of responsibility as a King?"】

【"However, you have no subordinates to lead here."】

【"Although a King should perhaps maintain a solitary position, there is no King in the world without followers. You miscalculated, Impaling Prince."】

【"I am a Heroic Spirit. Even if I am an enemy to the country, I will not be afraid."】

【"Oh, interesting."】

【Vlad III laughs, but this time the laughter carries emotions like anger, hatred, and killing intent.】

【"Even if you are alone and an enemy to my country, you are not afraid. You are truly worthy of being a hero."】

【"For your arrogance, I have already inflicted three punishments. That's right, a total of three times, my spear has pierced your body. Therefore, die here!"】

【Video pauses.】

【Question: In the next battle, can Vlad III hurt Karna?】

【A: Cannot hurt.】

【B: Can hurt, but the damage is not great.】

【C: Can hurt, enough to make Karna vigilant.】

【D: Can hurt, enough to severely damage Karna.】

【Please buzz in within 1 minute. Overtime counts as giving up.】

Achilles: "Does this even need to be said? It must be A. Although that Black Lancer can barely compete with Karna, he can't break the opponent's armor at all."】

【Ding! Achilles answered incorrectly, 1 Saint Quartz deducted.】

Achilles: "???"

Karna: "..."

Waver: "This is indeed a bit unexpected."】

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Vlad III really broke the golden armor!"】

Vlad III: "Hmph, don't underestimate this King."】

Darnic: "My King, which one do you think we should choose?"】

Vlad III: "Hmm. Choose C."】

He originally wanted to choose D, but thinking that Karna is a son of a god after all, he decided to be a bit conservative.

【Ding! Vlad III answered incorrectly, 1 Saint Quartz deducted.】

Vlad III: "???"

Achilles: "Hahaha, what is this? You, the person involved, actually chose wrong too."】

Feng Xi: "Choose B. Vlad III, you are a bit too optimistic."】

【Ding! Congratulations to Feng Xi for answering this question correctly, earning 3 Saint Quartz.】

Kayneth: "Damn it, one step behind again!"】

Feng Xi: "Haha, Director Kayneth, you should practice your reaction speed."】

Emiya Kiritsugu: "B, huh? This answer is not surprising."】

Iskandar: "I just want to know how the Impaling Prince hurt Karna."】

【Answering time ends, video continues.】

【"Hmm?!"】

【In an instant, Karna suddenly feels a chill attacking his whole body and reflexively wants to jump backward.】

【However, the attack has already ended.】

【"Very vigilant."】

【Vlad III sneers: "That's right, my Noble Phantasm, Kazikli Bey, is not those iron stakes, but the concept of 'upright iron stakes' itself."】

【"As long as you are in this territory, no matter how you consolidate your defense, as long as the fact that I launched an attack exists, then..."】

【Karna only feels something in his body begin to swell violently, then several stakes emerge from his body, instantly causing him to collapse to the ground, vomiting blood.】

【"Cough! Is it iron stakes..."】

【He was careless. He didn't expect the opponent's Noble Phantasm to be able to launch attacks from within the body.】

【Attacks from within the body—his golden armor couldn't defend against that.】

Rin Tohsaka: "From within the body! I didn't expect it could be like this!"】

Emiya Kiritsugu: "Within the body, that is indeed a place the golden armor cannot defend."】

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "To be able to attack from within the body, we all underestimated Vlad III's Noble Phantasm."】

Iskandar: "Haha, Impaling Prince, you have some tricks."】

Vlad III: "Hmph, this is the consequence of underestimating this King."】

Vlad III is not in a very good mood; after all, this move is his trump card, and now it has been exposed.
