The bull-headed demon rushed over menacingly, holding his battle ax high, trying to smash A'Die in half with the force of the Huashan Mountain.
However, A'Die perfectly avoided the blow with a roll, and then swept the war hammer and hit the Minotaur Demon's leg.
Katsa——
Even the thighs, which were as thick as courtyard pillars, inevitably exposed their fragile side after colliding with the super-sized war hammer, and were broken neatly. The Minotaur Devil half-knelt on the ground, struggling hard.
It's a pity that soon there will be no more seconds for it. Ah Di jumps up high and spins his body in mid-air, crossing the bright line of fire like a windmill.
boom--
Two war hammers hit the Minotaur Demon's head at the same time, and then its huge body collapsed and disappeared, turning into a spirit and dissipating in the air.
"Solved, it seems pretty simple."
Ah Tui smacked his lips, looking like he was still unfinished. He was finally able to move his body, but he didn't expect to meet such a weak guy.
"Forget it, I hope other servants can bring me some surprises."
He walked to the core of the magic array and saw a huge ruby suspended in it, serving as the core of magic conversion and a device for storing magic.
"The next step is to destroy this magic circle."
He casually removed the gem, and then smashed the foundation of the magic array without hesitation. The magic array that continued to absorb life force finally stopped operating and fell into silence.
"Here, Master."
Ah Ma handed the ruby to Miyazaki Yota,
"This is our trophy."
Yota Miyazaki looked at the ruby in his hand. For magicians, natural gems are more used as a body for performing magic and as a device for storing magic power. The value of viewing and collecting is not important.
Even if he was just a dabbler in magic, he could still feel the surging magic power inside. If all was released, it would be enough to burn down the entire hospital.
For him, it can also be used to replenish magic power, but when he thought that these magic powers were converted from the vitality of an unknown number of people, Miyazaki Yota couldn't help but have a flash of sadness on his face.
He thought again of the young man hiding in the stairwell and crying bitterly.
"Don't worry, I will definitely defeat that guy."
He murmured to himself, seeming to be firming up his decision, and seeming to be swearing a promise to the dead souls.
………
………
Everywhere he looked could be seen the sharp light of swords, surging like an endless tide, penetrating Asterios's huge body like a hill, leaving countless hideous scars.
"Uh-huh--"
Asterios roared angrily, advancing instead of retreating, waving the long-handled battle ax in his hand towards the enemy. Unfortunately, the heavy battle ax could not touch the enemy at all.
Finally, on the way to charge, a slender war blade pierced his spiritual core, ending his meaningless struggle.
"Death...far away...sorry...I'm sorry..."
Asterios whispered, his head dropped, his huge body dissipated into golden magic particles, and finally disappeared.
Nicholas looked up at the woman walking slowly towards him tremblingly, his fists clenched involuntarily, and his eyes showed resentment.
He waved his hand, and the fierce flames burned fiercely. Unfortunately, it did not hurt the woman at all, but instead highlighted her long red hair that was as gorgeous as flames.
She should be a very beautiful woman, but the golden flying wing helmet covered half of her face. Although her tall body was far more than that of Nicholas, she still had the femininity of women and the prowess of men. She was branded with the sacred tree pattern.
The bright red cloak moves automatically in the absence of wind, making a hunting sound.
What attracted the most attention was her right hand, which was a prosthetic limb with a thin and slender blade stuck on it. The bronze blade was etched with gorgeous patterns.
It was more like a work of art for collection than a weapon, but it was this weapon that was like a work of art that cut off the battle ax in Asterios' hand and pierced his spiritual core at the same time.
"Damn-"
Seeing that his attack was not effective, although he had expected it, Nicholas still couldn't help but cursed angrily.
It's a pity that before he finished speaking, the woman stepped forward and waved the sharp blade in her hand. Countless sharp blades filled the space, cutting Nicholas into pieces.
His body lost its temperature, Nicholas felt like he had fallen into the valley of death, and the world gradually became dark.
"I am the guardian of the Holy Grail, the blade of the supreme god."
"This is the reason why I am invincible."
The familiar voice echoed in his ears again, and soon he knew nothing.
………
………
"Ahhhh——!!"
Nicholas suddenly sat up, his whole body was wet with sweat and dripping with sweat. He looked out the window in horror, which was the tall tower that belonged to him.
He has failed several times. Although he knows that death is not real, the feeling is unbearable. The feeling of falling into the valley of death many times is enough to drive people crazy.
“Damn, damn, damn, damn—!”
He clenched his fists and smashed the floor hard. His handsome face was as ferocious as a demon, and his demeanor of coming from a famous ancient magic family was thrown aside without any scruples.
"berserker."
He took a deep breath, calmed down, and then called his followers.
"Royal Lord..."
The huge body of Asterios appeared next to Nicholas. In the legend, he also has another name, that is, the Minotaur, which represents the bull of King Minos and dominates the island of Crete.
A monster with the head of a man and the body of an ox, born between Pasiphi, the wife of Norse, and a bull.
He is a born monster, an anti-heroic existence, and has devoured countless heroes who broke into the labyrinth.
But even such a notorious monster looked so docile. He lowered his huge head with red sharp horns, and his eyes of the same color were full of darkness.
"What a loser. He's a legendary monster. He can't even defeat such a guy."
"I... am not... a monster..."
"Tsk——"
Nicholas was about to say something when he suddenly noticed that one of the nodes transmitting magic power to his magic workshop had disappeared.
"What happened? Was it discovered by other magicians?"
He frowned. These arrangements were not his works, but preparations made by the famous magic sects who had participated in the Holy Grail War, the Yinshi Tribe. He had simply modified them to provide supplies for his magic workshop.
magic.
After all, if Asterios's Noble Phantasm is fully deployed, in addition to materials, it will also require a massive amount of magic power to maintain it, and it is naturally impossible for him to provide these magic powers.
As for the casualties of ordinary people?
They are just a group of meaningless creatures. Being able to contribute vitality to themselves is already their greatest value.
Nicholas decided to put aside the matter of the tower, and it would be better to solve the magic node matter first. He did not have full confidence in dealing with the woman in the tower, but it would still be very easy for other magicians.
He didn't think that any of the masters in this Holy Grail War could compete with the genius of the Clock Tower, the head of the Harris family, in terms of magical attainments.
This is not pride, but confidence in one's own strength.
