The overwhelming icicles hit Lu Xiao's location from all directions.
Such a large-scale magic was constructed in just one breath, and Lu Xiao's threat assessment of her once again increased.
This 360-degree attack is difficult to completely block through physical means.
Lu Xiao released his right hand holding the handle of the Immortal Slashing Blade, and used the ability to materialize his soul to briefly split his spirit. At the same time, he manipulated his left and right hands to write completely different sets of runes in the air.
Before the ice pick hits the target, the runes carved by Lu Xiao take effect first.
The runes drawn with his left hand merged into the air, and the already scorching temperature in the desert became even more scorching. The soldiers who were watching in the shadows of the buildings outside the battle circle were soon covered in sweat.
The sharply rising local temperature affected the ice hammers made by the witch, and many ice picks began to melt before they hit the target.
The witch noticed something strange when the temperature nearby began to rise. The emerald on the bracelet on her left arm flashed with light, and a translucent magic barrier protected her.
The runes carved on Lu Xiao's right hand are not used for direct attacks. After the runes are formed, they are automatically integrated into his body. The continuous flashing magic light simultaneously strengthens Lu Xiao's three attributes of strength, agility and physical fitness.
"Whoosh!"
After receiving a burst of buff enhancement in a short period of time, Lu Xiao disappeared from the witch's sight with a single kick.
At the same time, a sharp sword energy was drawn out from where he was originally standing, and was blocked by the magic barrier arranged by the witch in advance.
Lu Xiao's agility attribute was already very high, but after being strengthened by rune magic, his performance became even more outrageous.
If people can still see some traces of Lu Xiao's full-speed movement under normal conditions, after strengthening it, even the shadow cannot be seen.
In the fortress sealed off by the witch using a barrier, only the whistling sound of the wind could be heard, and the sword energy, whose source could not be seen at all, shot out from the empty space from time to time.
Under the continuous invisible blows, cracks began to appear in the strong barrier built by the witch, and her face under the veil became solemn.
As the saying goes, sound in the east and attack in the west.
Lu Xiao used a series of actions to arouse the witch's sense of crisis, causing her to focus most of her attention on protecting herself.
In fact, Lu Xiao was pouring magic power into the Sword of Damocles when he casually used the Immortal Slash to release the sword energy.
This is the enemy's fortress. Judging from the targeted actions of this witch, Jingjing and Oto Touta were both used as bait by him, with the purpose of killing all the enemies who came to rescue them.
Lu Xiao did not dare to bet on whether the prepared witch would have backup reinforcements. It was definitely not a wise move to fight in the enemy's stronghold.
When the witch had no choice but to cast spells to strengthen the magic barrier that protected her, Lu Xiao, seeing the opportunity, pulled out the Sword of Damocles with his left hand and swung a bright sword energy toward the edge of the barrier that bound the fortress.
"Bang!"
The solid cracking sound awakened the witch who had been diverted, but when she was about to switch her spell to attack form, the sound of wind that was originally howling in the fortress had quietly dissipated.
"Tsk~"
The witch smacked her lips in displeasure: "He actually let him run away like this. He is such a difficult guy."
The witch who was in a bad mood looked indifferently at the ordinary soldiers who were hiding in various parts of the fortress watching the battle. Without a word, she lifted the space blockade of the fortress, opened a space channel with her wave of hands and disappeared from the sky above the fortress.
…
Assassins will not fight to the death with the enemy unprepared. The assassin's best fighting method is to collect information on the enemy's weaknesses in advance and try to kill them with one blow when taking action.
The identity of this witch who suddenly appeared is unknown for the time being, but judging from the strength and intelligence she has shown in the few times she has acted, she should be a powerful magician who has left a great name in history.
Female, great magician, associated with the legend of King Arthur.
Excluding Merlin, who can be identified as male in this world, there is only one option left in Lu Xiao's mind.
"Morgan? I didn't expect the Lion King to summon her."
Morgan's full name is Morgan Le Fay. She is the famous witch in the legend of King Arthur and the sister of King Arthur. According to legend, this witch has a wild and extremely ambitious nature.
Many important members of King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table are Morgan's children, including Gawain, who had previously fought with Lu Xiao, Agguiwen, who was the chief assistant to the Lion King, and the legendary rebel who ended King Arthur's life.
Knight Mordred.
In addition, Gareth and Gaheris, the Knights of the Round Table who died before the arrival of Lu Xiao and Chaldea, are also direct descendants of Morgan.
In the legend of King Arthur, the enchantress Morgan spent her whole life plotting against her biological brother, King Arthur. At the end of the legend, she succeeded.
Mordred penetrated King Arthur's body with the magic sword, and was himself killed by the king with the holy spear. Only then did the final allusion come about that King Arthur ordered Bedivere to return the sword.
If it were a normal timeline, Lu Xiao could be sure that Artoria would never summon his sister Morgan.
But what appears at the sixth singularity is not the true Knight King, but the Lion King, the incarnation of Lungominiad, who has used the Holy Spear for a long time and has gradually been assimilated by the divinity in the Holy Spear.
The lion king, a god who lacks humanity and is absolutely rational, will not consider any emotional factors. She will only make the best choice for the plan based on the current situation.
"Now we're in trouble."
After evacuating the fortress, Lu Xiao immediately rebuilt the portal. When he stepped through the gate, his expression looked very solemn.
Regardless of whether the description of Morgan in the legend of King Arthur is true or not, with the addition and sublimation of these legends, Morgan is definitely difficult to deal with. Some clues can be seen from the previous brief confrontation with Lu Xiao.
"Let's go back and discuss with Romani and the others first. We hope to use Chaldea's information to find out Morgan's weaknesses."
…
Outside the gate of the Holy Capital, the bustling crowd during the Holy Battle has long since disappeared. In front of the desolate gate, there is only a heavily armored knight bathing in the sun, holding a sword and closing his eyes to meditate.
The heavily armored knight with flaxen messy hair suddenly opened his eyes and bowed his head to the masked woman who had just teleported to the door with a lukewarm attitude.
"Mother."
"Well, thank you for your hard work, Gawain."
Morgan's attitude towards Gawain is also relatively cold.
Gawain is more willing to obey King Arthur's orders than Morgan's orders.
For example, in the sixth singularity this time, even though he knew in his heart that the Lion King's order was against the spirit of chivalry, Gawain, who had always obeyed the king's words, still chose to obey without saying a word.
Gawain's situation is not an exception, it can basically be regarded as the norm for Morgan's children.
Morgan created Gawain, Agaguiwen and others, and as the princess of Arturia, kicked them through the back door and kicked them into the Knights of the Round Table to cause trouble.
But after entering the Knights, all her children will be attracted by Arturia's personality charm and noble ideals, and will willingly obey the king's orders.
Angry and angry, Morgan confessed her true identity to the finally created "son" Mordred.
Mordred is an artificial human created by Morgan by extracting Artoria's genetic information, sexually transforming it with magic, and combining it with his own genetic information. It can be said that he is the purest descendant of the Pendragon family.
.
After learning the truth, Mordred, who was eager to gain the approval of his "father", came to propose marriage without any hesitation, but was rejected by Arturia, who was disgusted with Morgan's insidious behavior.
Unrecognized, Mordred's love for King Arthur turned to hatred, which triggered the Battle of Camlann and ended the legend of King Arthur.
The two people passing each other looked completely devoid of the tenderness between mother and son. Judging from Morgan's demeanor and the fact that she returned empty-handed, Gawain judged that her mission had failed.
Gawain secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He still wanted to seek face from the mysterious heroic spirit in person, and did not want him to die at the hands of his mother, the demon concubine Morgan.
'However, even his mother, who had laid a trap in advance, could not trap him to death. That mysterious Assassin is indeed no ordinary person. Which era is he a heroic spirit?'
