Chapter 614

【"Kill you, kill you, I will—kill you!"】

【Atalanta pulled out the Bow of the Dark Sky, and a series of dark arrows shot toward Jeanne.】

【The opponent's beast-like crazy attack directly forced Jeanne into a flurry, and she was soon suffering one injury after another.】

【"Archer, well done. This way, Ruler will be out of the game."】

【Semiramis didn't care about Atalanta's situation at all, directly mobilizing all the cannons of the "Ten and One Black Coffins," aiming them at Jeanne's direction, intending to finish her off in one go.】

【But the next moment, she was stunned.】

【"What are you doing!"】

Semiramis: "???"

Waver: "It seems something unexpected has happened."

Rin Tohsaka: "Is it Sieg and Astolfo, or Fiore and Caules who were nowhere to be seen before?"

【"You're so annoying!"】

【On Astolfo's side, although he could dodge Karna's attacks by relying on "Hippogriff," he didn't expect the opponent to be so relentless, giving them no room to breathe at all.】

【Being chased like this, even though they had reached the Hanging Gardens, they couldn't land.】

【Astolfo: "Damn it, this will consume a massive amount of magical energy. Master, are you okay?"】

【Sieg: "... Mhm, no problem."】

【Astolfo had assumed Sieg's magical energy might not hold up, but the situation was different from his prediction; Sieg's magical energy was still quite abundant.】

Kayneth: "How is that possible! After fighting for so long, Astolfo has been constantly using his Noble Phantasm; the magical energy consumption should be huge!"

Waver: "Is it Sieg himself, or the reason for Siegfried's heart?"

Siegfried: "Regarding this, I can't say for sure."

It should be because Sieg's own magical energy is relatively abundant; he didn't even know his heart could supply such a large amount of magical energy.

【Astolfo: "Great, you really are an incredible magical energy storage tank!"】

【Sieg: "But if this continues, it will be endless."】

【Astolfo: "I know, let me think of a way..."】

【Sieg: "... Six minutes. During this time, I hope you can destroy these Black Coffins as much as possible. That way, Ruler and Archer should be able to reach this place."】

【Astolfo immediately understood Sieg's meaning. Looking at the other's firm expression, he could only pout and say: "Don't die! You absolutely must not die!"】

【Sieg smiled: "Mhm, Rider, believe in me."】

【There happened to be a huge "Black Coffin" in front that could serve as a landing spot, and Astolfo immediately approached it.】

Rin Tohsaka: "It seems he's going to transform into Siegfried to meet the challenge."

Waver: "The first battle of this Holy Grail War was Siegfried versus Karna; now it can be considered a continuation of that battle."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "However, the chances of winning are still not high, after all, Sieg's transformation has a time limit."

Siegfried: "Mhm, Karna is a powerful opponent; even if I were to fight him personally, I might not necessarily be able to defeat him, and there is also the disadvantage of the terrain."

Karna can fly, but he can't; this battle lost the advantage of terrain first.

Emiya Kiritsugu: "This battle is mainly to stall for time, so that Astolfo can complete his task."

【Astolfo: "Are you ready?"】

【Sieg: "Mhm!"】

【Astolfo: "Understood, go!"】

【The moment he reached the top of the Black Coffin, accompanied by Astolfo's shout, Sieg jumped down without hesitation and activated his magic circuits, causing the Command Spell to emit a low roar.】

【The next moment, Saber Siegfried appeared once again.】

【"You've come."】

【Karna was not surprised by this, directly abandoning Astolfo and killing toward Sieg.】

【Sieg quickly drew his greatsword to block this strike, and the two immediately engaged in a fierce battle.】

Siegfried: "What a pity, Karna, I still wanted to personally settle the score with you."

Karna: "... Me too, there should be opportunities in the future."

Siegfried: "Yes, as long as we are in this group, there will be opportunities."

【"Balmung!"】

【Facing a strong enemy like Karna, Sieg didn't have any hesitation, directly releasing his Noble Phantasm.】

【Karna didn't dodge, directly taking this strike head-on. Seeing this, Sieg directly raised his sword and charged. The two slid off the Black Coffin, constantly trading blows.】

【Just at this moment, the "Ten and One Black Coffins" suddenly changed direction, aiming at Sieg and releasing light bullets.】

【Sieg was unhurried, directly using his sword to deflect all the light bullets.】

【After these two transformations, Sieg had completely reached Siegfried's realm.】

Waver: "He can actually deflect the light bullets of the Black Coffins!"

Siegfried: "That is the bonus of my Noble Phantasm, 'Armor of Fafnir'."

Rin Tohsaka: "Is that the clothes you're wearing? So that was a Noble Phantasm!"

【"Assassin, I will damage the garden a little, don't blame me."】

【Karna landed back on the Hanging Gardens, pouring magical energy into the golden spear in his hand.】

【"Vasavi Shakti!"】

【Stomping the ground to pieces, the divine spear was thrown toward Sieg with the destructive power of an avalanche.】

【Seeing this, Sieg didn't shrink back, once again activating his Noble Phantasm to meet it.】

【The two Noble Phantasms collided, and the light immediately illuminated the night sky.】

【And at the same time, a small plane had already reached the sky above the Hanging Gardens; it was the plane Fiore and her brother were riding.】

【That's right, taking advantage of the night, the eleventh small plane hidden behind the ten jumbo jets landed quietly; this was their plan.】

【The plan was very successful; without any obstruction, they arrived here.】

Zhang Jiao: "What a good strategy of feinting to the east and attacking to the west."

Caules: "Great, we successfully boarded the Hanging Gardens."

Rin Tohsaka: "But, what's the use of just you two going up?"

Caules: "Ah, this..."

Fiore: "..."

That's right, what's the use of just the two of them going up.

The Black faction's Servants were all blocked outside, and the Red faction still had the Empress and Shakespeare inside. Were they going in to die?

【"Are you okay? If it's now, still—"】

【"Didn't I say it's fine? Alright, grab me. I'll take the lead; I feel I'm better at this now."】

【"Primitive Spirit / Raptor."】

【Caules took Fiore, opened the cabin door, quickly chanted a spell to block the wind pressure, and jumped down.】

【The low-level raptor-type spirit grabbed the two and landed on the Hanging Gardens by gliding.】

【Before she could even complain, Fiore froze there.】

【"Was he taken out?"】

【Caules understood what had happened and asked softly.】

【"... Mhm."】

【Fiore quickly recovered; this result was actually not surprising.】

【When the plan was set, Chiron already had this premonition and had said his goodbyes to her in advance.】

【However, the current situation was very severe; she didn't know if Astolfo would be of any use, and she didn't know if Jeanne could reach the Hanging Gardens.】

【The two who landed first suddenly realized that they were of no use at all after coming up; they couldn't do anything.】

Ishtar: "Hahaha, are you two here to be funny?"

Caules: "..."

Fiore: "We in the video were indeed a bit thoughtless, but there was no other way."

【On Astolfo's side, he was riding the Hippogriff, holding the golden knight's spear, with papers rotating around his body. All three Noble Phantasms were activated simultaneously, and he began his task.】

【His task was very simple, which was to destroy the "Ten and One Black Coffins."】

【For him, this task was too arduous; even his magic book was whispering: it was almost impossible to destroy all the Black Coffins.】

【However, aren't Heroic Spirits existences that turn the impossible into the possible?】
