The changes in the royal city have nothing to do with Lu Xiao for the time being.
Abandoning unnecessary distractions, Lu Xiao focused all her attention on the battle with Gawain.
As expected by both sides, during the second battle, Gawain had a certain understanding of Lu Xiao's exquisite moves, and it was not so difficult to deal with them.
Responding to all changes by staying the same, Gao Wen stood firmly on the spot, ignoring Lu Xiao's high-speed movement beside him, and did not let him lead him by the nose to disrupt his fighting rhythm.
Gawain, who was fully focused, suddenly turned around and raised the Holy Sun Sword, once again blocking the attack from behind, and using his strength advantage to press towards Lu Xiao in the opposite direction.
Using the same knife-wiping technique to remove three times Gawain's strange power, Lu Xiao once again activated the aura blocker and disappeared under the sunlight.
"I see."
A misty voice came from near the battlefield: "You have indeed gradually adapted to my moves. It seems that it is difficult to get an advantage from you in a simple close combat."
"In that case..."
Feeling the magic power fluctuations in the air, Gawain's vigilance further increased.
"Crack!"
Gawain: "?!"
He looked at his ribs in astonishment, and blood was continuing to flow out from under the magic armor that still maintained its integrity.
"How is that possible?"
The armors of the Knights of the Round Table such as Gawain and Mordred are the same as Arturia's. They are made by using magic power. The defense strength is quite good. The last time they fought with Lu Xiao, they blocked many of his attacks.
damaged.
Not to mention Lu Xiao's more abnormal movement and attack speed, Gao Wen was sure that his armor was not damaged, but the opponent's attack strangely penetrated his defense and directly injured his body.
"A weapon that breaks defenses?"
"Guessed it right."
"呲~"
Inertial thinking slowed down Gawain's reaction. This time, Lu Xiao did not attack from behind or from the side, but directly attacked Gawain's strongest defensive front.
The armor on his neck was scratched without any hindrance, and a long wound was cut out on Gawain's collarbone.
If he hadn't subconsciously turned his head to avoid it, this move would have been enough to cut Gawain's throat.
Several times in succession, non-vital parts of the body were directly injured by the opponent through the armor, and Gawain completely understood the principle of the opponent's weapons.
Lu Xiao, who reappeared, had already put away the one-meter-long tachi, and a pocket blade popped out of the arm armor of his right hand.
The feeling of blood accumulating in the armor was uncomfortable. Gawain contracted his muscles to temporarily stop the bleeding from several wounds and dispersed the heavy magic armor on his body, revealing the linen shirt inside the armor.
Pointing his sword at Lu Xiao, Gawain challenged me unfailingly: "You don't think you can defeat me with just that pocket blade that can break defenses, do you?"
With the heavy restraints removed, Gawain's movement speed became much more agile. He pushed hard on the ground and rushed in front of Lu Xiao. He raised the Sun Sword in his hand and slashed hard.
"Huh~"
The long sword sliced through the air, making a dull sound of tearing wind, but Gawain's attack still failed to hit the target.
"No, you have already lost."
The sound coming from his body made Gao Wen quickly turn around, and Gao Wen, who had lost weight, finally blocked another round of Lu Xiao's surprise attack.
But at this moment, Gawain suddenly felt an indescribable feeling of discomfort in his body, as if a certain attribute of his body was suddenly out of balance, and it was difficult for him to adapt to this sudden change in a short period of time.
"Crack!"
Dodging Gawain's backhand attack, Lu Xiao's seemingly unarmored left hand swiped across Gawain's sword-drawing arm. The green blood flowing out of the wound made Gawain's expression suddenly change.
"poison?"
After dispelling the blessing of the runes, Lu Xiao silently watched Gawain's body swaying and half-kneeling on the ground.
"As expected of the Holy Sword of the Sun, which possesses the power of purification. Your physique in the sleepless state is astonishing. It took several consecutive attacks to cause you to be affected by the curse."
"Perhaps your behavior at this singularity caused the resentment of inhibition. Today you are not very lucky. The one you are cursed to reduce is the physique that is most needed at the moment, so..."
"Well!"
The poison of the Uru Hidden Sword began to flow through Gawain's body along with the blood circulation. Even with the purification effect of the Sun Sword and the triple blessing of the Nightless Blessing, Gawain's cursed physical condition made it impossible for him to survive in a short period of time.
Purify curses and poisons that are active at the same time.
"you!"
"Qiang~"
Slowly pulling out the Immortal Slash behind him, Lu Xiao walked up to Gawain and raised the weapon high.
"Don't judge me by the standards of a knight. I am an assassin. As long as I can complete the mission goal, everything is allowed."
"Goodbye, Sun Knight Gawain."
When Lu Xiao was about to chop off Gawain's head with his Immortal Slash, the sense of threat coming from behind made him dodge with his knife to the side.
"Ding dong~"
The invisible sonic blade cut through the air and landed exactly where Lu Xiao was standing.
"Sound Blade, Tristan? Do you still have the heart to help Gawain and seek death?"
Lu Xiao used the corner of his eye to look at the Son of Sorrow not far away. Sure enough, he was at a disadvantage in the battle with Arash's archers. Tristan's distracted rescue cost him blood.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Three powerful and heavy arrows pierced Tristan's body in succession. Although none of them hit the vital point due to his deliberate adjustments, the three arrow wounds on his right arm, left rib and left leg reduced at least half of his combat effectiveness.
With Tristan's delay, Gawain managed to regain his mobility with the purification of the Sun Sword.
"I'm not defeated yet!"
Gawain, who forced himself to stand upright with bleeding from the corner of his mouth, forcibly recited the true name of the Holy Sword of the Sun, the Liberation Language, in an attempt to make a comeback with the Noble Phantasm Liberation.
"Stubborn."
Lu Xiao briefly activated the ability of the event gem and hid in the cracks of time to avoid the frontal sweep of the Sun Sword.
"excalibur gatine!"
The sweeping Noble Phantasm swept away all the Solemn Knights and Sphinxes within a certain range, and the attack without distinguishing between friend and foe made both sides on the battlefield feel unbelievable.
"Ugh!"
A desperate attempt to release the precious phantom failed to hit the target. Gawain, whose body was empty of magic power, finally lost his ability to resist and fell to the ground. Lu Xiao effortlessly took away his head.
Arash, who had completely suppressed Tristan, had an angry look on his face, and with one last arrow without mercy, Tristan, who was unable to resist, was pinned to the outer wall of the Holy City.
"Are these Knights of the Round Table crazy?! Are you going to kill your own people too?"
"No, they are not crazy, they are just following the Lion King's orders."
Lu Xiao looked at Gawain and Tristan who were gradually turning into golden magic flow and dissipating, and calmly explained to Arash: "The Tower at the End can only accommodate 500 people. There will be no disputes in this false utopia, so naturally there will be no disputes."
No need for an army."
"The solemn knights and ordinary soldiers present are also abandoned objects. Their life and death are not important to the Lion King at all."
"To be honest, these Knights of the Round Table have frightening and persistent beliefs, and they even go to this point to buy as much time as possible for the Lion King."
"Tsk!"
Arash found it difficult to agree with the Knights of the Round Table's fanatical belief in the Lion King: "Lu Xiao, please go into the city and end this battle as soon as possible. I and Oto Touta will stay outside the city to suppress the remaining troops, and we will not let the soldiers enter the royal city to interfere with you.
action.”
"I understand, you should also pay attention to safety, pay attention to the closing range of the holy spear, and be ready to hide in the Holy City at any time."
Arash turned around and noticed Lancelot's tangled expression as he looked at Lu Xiao's retreating back. After a little thought, he understood what he was thinking.
"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, please go and fulfill your wish."
"The war has reached this point and there is no need for command and control anymore. It is just delaying time. Leave it to me and Oto Touta."
Arash's persuasion made Lancelot let out a sigh of relief, and he solemnly bowed his head to thank Arash: "Thank you, Your Excellency Arash, for your understanding. I must personally kill the traitorous ministers around the king! I'll take my leave now."
Watching Lancelot ride his horse into the Holy City, Arash continued to draw his bow and kill the soldiers who tried to chase into the city.
"Can partners who wrestle together still persist?"
Omotata is also a master of bows. He cooperated with Arash to intercept all the solemn knights who were chasing Lancelot.
"Of course, although I don't have as amazing endurance as you, I can still stand still and draw the bow until the end."
Arash laughed heartily and opened his longbow: "Very good! Let's compare who has more results at the end of the battle!"
