Chapter 340 - Chapter 82: Victory and the Collapsing Hanging Gardens

Since he obtained the 'Mask of Resolve', Lancer had not used it many times, or rather, the few times he used it, he only used it as a normal 'mask' to cover his appearance. The reason he didn't use it was because the side effects after using its ability were too BUG-like, but if he didn't use it now, then there would probably be no chance to use it.

The mask seemed to have directly rebooted his originally weak body, but the price was that the time he could move freely had entered a countdown.

But at least before this countdown ended, his power would return to its peak, but there was still one more problem, and that was his weapon.

A simple ice spear could not fight a heroic spirit, so he could only let 'Alucard'...

"Lancer!!"

A delicate shout from above instantly attracted everyone's attention, and then they saw Astolfo, who was riding a Hippogriff, throwing the lance 'which causes a fall upon contact' at him with a throwing motion.

"I won't let you succeed!!"

Although Atalanta was more like a Berserker than an Archer because of the side effect of the Noble Phantasm 'Phoebus Catastrophe', her combat ability was an instinctive existence, so she still reflexively shot to try to interfere with Astolfo's support, but she was not the only Servant present.

Siegfried actually used his body as a shield and blocked Atalanta's attack, but these normal arrows still could not penetrate the defense of the 'Armor of Fafnir's Blood' and only stuck into his muscles, but he no longer cared about pulling out the arrows stuck in his body and instead turned his gaze to Lancer.

"Slap~!"

Lancer, who received Astolfo's Noble Phantasm, charged without hesitation.

"Don't even think about getting past me!!!"

Behind him was the Greater Grail that had been completely released. It could be said that he was only one step away from victory. In addition, as he himself said, too many 'innocent people' had already sacrificed for him to complete this step. He absolutely could not fail!

His left hand, which represented 'holy power', was held in front to defend, while his right hand, which represented 'evil power', attacked Lancer heart without hesitation.

"Slap~~!!"

Accompanied by the sound of a heavy blow, the terrifying evil magical energy invaded Lancer body and even turned half of his body black, but what happened next was completely beyond his expectation.

The lance that he thought would hit his vital spot actually hit his right leg, and then an incredible scene appeared.

His entire right leg disappeared out of thin air.

There was no doubt that Lancer knew the ability of Astolfo's Noble Phantasm, and because this Noble Phantasm itself was very 'special' and was obtained by Astolfo from his good friend, it did not have a user restriction. As long as the 'true name' was known, it could be used.

The lance had completed its mission, and Lancer dropped it without hesitation. He clenched his fists, and his body slightly turned, just like the countless times he had 'jabbed with a spear' under Li Shuwen's teaching. The only difference was that his hands were empty, but ---

"The skill taught by my master! Experience it here!!"

Lancer talent in spear arts could definitely be described as terrifying. Otherwise, neither Scathach, Li Shuwen, nor even Chiron and the Grand Duke would be able to resist teaching him something. After all, a person who learns things as soon as they are taught always gives the teacher a sense of accomplishment.

But the price was that Lancer talent in other areas was even worse than that of a normal person. Take the simple 'Bajiquan' as an example. Li Shuwen also taught him some basic 'forms', which he taught him while teaching him spear arts, but the result of Lancer learning was similar to the result of his learning of Rune Magic. It made his teacher so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

But as Li Shuwen said, the spear and fist he learned were not separate but a whole.

When facing Lancer, this 'special' student, he also thought of a clever way.

'Since you can't learn how to use Bajiquan, then try to use your two arms as 'spears'.'

He had already learned how to punch under Li Shuwen's teaching, and all he needed to do now was to swing his fists.

Stomp.

Twist his waist.

And finally --- punch!

Lancer left fist pierced Amakusa Shirou Tokisada's chest in his incredible gaze.

"Slap~~!!"

Unlike other Servants, whose magical energy that constitutes their bodies will not simulate the body of a living person but will spiritualize and disappear directly after receiving a fatal blow, Amakusa Shirou Tokisada, who was hit, gushed out a terrifying amount of blood from his wound as if he were a normal person.

'Am I... going to die again?'

As a heroic spirit, Amakusa Shirou had already experienced death, and at this time, when 'death' appeared in front of him again, he actually felt an emotion called 'fear'.

But unlike most people, what he feared was not death itself but the fear that once he died, his previous sacrifices would be meaningless.

Even if I am ugly!

Even if I am pathetic!

Even if I am despised by others!

Even if I am looked down upon!

I absolutely cannot die here!!

Amakusa Shirou Tokisada's 'corpse' slid down from Lancer arm, but before Lancer could check if the other party was completely dead to decide whether to give him the final blow, an 'accident' happened.

The 'Hanging Gardens' under everyone's feet had actually begun to disintegrate.

This was a problem that was expected but was also ignored by everyone. After all, no one could have imagined that the battlefield they had just fought on was still within the enemy's Noble Phantasm.

At this time, Semiramis, the 'owner', had died, and Semiramis's Master, 'Amakusa Shirou Tokisada', was also in a dying state. Its collapse was a matter of course.

The ground that suddenly disintegrated caused Amakusa Shirou Tokisada's 'corpse' to roll into the distance, and Lancer, who couldn't care about so much, hurried to meet up with Siegfried and the others.

He did not have the ability to fly. Wouldn't he become the biggest joke if he survived the battle but ended up being crushed to death by the fall?

At the same time, with the deactivation of 'ghost', Jeanne, who was nervously clenching her sword, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they had a numerical advantage, the pressure that Amakusa Shirou Tokisada put on them was still almost suffocating. At this time, when the other party was finally killed, she couldn't help but feel relieved, but at this moment, another thing that had been ignored by everyone suddenly erupted.

The 'Mind's Eye (True)' and 'Mind's Eye (False)' that Amakusa Shirou Tokisada was granted by his 'Right Hand - Evil Eater' and 'Left Hand - Xanadu Matrix' were enough for him to fight Siegfried. This was also a very important reason why he was killed by Lancer in the end.

So what about his two arms?

As the stubbornly resisting Gilles completely died, the power of 'Twin Arm - Big Crunch' also completely erupted. The 'city in the sky' that had already collapsed was completely disintegrated into two pieces in this huge explosion.

And Astolfo, who was sitting on the Hippogriff, who was in Siegfried's arms, extended his right hand to Jeanne, but when he wanted to grab Lancer, Lancer had already fallen straight down from the cracks in the bricks because of the side effects of his Noble Phantasm...
