Jeanne led Spartacus towards the center of the tentacles, and then had him release his Noble Phantasm. At that moment, a huge gap was surely created, allowing her to go to that Hanging Gardens. As for those who had been brainwashed, she could completely deploy her Noble Phantasm to block all the explosive force, ensuring that all living humans would not suffer injuries more severe than minor ones. The number of these brainwashed fanatics in the area she was currently in was far greater than the number around the Hanging Gardens. Leading Spartacus away was a must.
Taking a deep breath, Jeanne immediately led Spartacus towards the Hanging Gardens.
At the same time, on the outskirts of the Hanging Gardens, Karna threw out the golden sun spear in his hand. Mixed with flames, it quickly burned a portion of the ghouls to ashes. Just a short while ago, they had received a message from the master of this Hanging Gardens, that Empress of Assyria, that the Hanging Gardens had been invaded by some magical beasts from all directions.
At this moment, there were not many self-protection devices within the Hanging Gardens. The main defenses of the Hanging Gardens were used to prevent the enemy from landing on this flying city. Once the enemy entered this city, they could only rely on the Heroic Spirits. Under normal circumstances, if a decent magus had been summoned, they could still modify the interior of this city... but it was a pity that this time, in order to allow Semiramis to descend into this world, the strength of the magus had to be sacrificed. The abilities that Shakespeare possessed were, after all, limited. It was already good that he could protect himself.
So the task of dealing with these monsters was left to them. To eliminate these monsters as much as possible and prevent them from entering the Hanging Gardens. Of course, occasionally letting one or two in could also be eliminated by the poison dragons that were constantly patrolling the central area.
Karna raised his hand, and the golden spear flew back quickly. It was just that this time, flying back along with the spear was a red-haired man with a spirited battle intent on his face. A demonic sword with a rose pattern on it slashed quickly at the Little Sun's neck. This angle, this speed—the sudden existence before him was definitely a person with extremely high martial arts! Karna made such a judgment in an instant.
The golden spear quickly changed direction. At the same time, his eyes launched a Noble Phantasm attack at this man. Because he had already lost the Armor of the Sun, he would not trade injuries for injuries if he could avoid it when fighting this guy who had suddenly launched an attack on him. This time, his own body would not recover quickly after being cut by the enemy.
CLANG—!!
With an echo, the two fell towards the ground of the Hanging Gardens. Karna did not hesitate. As he fell, he raised his hand. A flame flickered in his palm. As Karna pushed outwards, it turned into specks of flying fire, shooting towards this sudden battle.
However, under the red military uniform, an ancient-style armor was revealed. As the magical energy on the armor flashed, the originally blown-out flames instantly scattered to the surroundings. This armor was a demonic armor that could even withstand the release of Invisible Air. Relying on the armor, the demonic sword, and his own powerful combat quality, this was the foundation of this Roman Emperor's ever-victorious and invincible might. If it weren't for the long journey and the battle with that King of the Huns, this Roman Emperor could have fought King Arthur to a draw. The final outcome would have been unknown.
"Excellent! Excellent! A very strong attack. I am most pleased. Only a warrior like you can be my opponent. I am the Roman Sword Emperor, Lucius! The one favored by the God of War and the Goddess of Flowers! Let us bet our lives and have a joyous battle!"
Perhaps because he had descended as an Avenger this time, Lucius found that his passion for battle seemed to have risen a lot. Originally, he would not have fought a life-and-death battle with someone unless it was a deep-seated hatred, or it concerned Rome. But now, because he was an Avenger, who cared about these things? In fact, Lucius himself wanted to use this battle to properly vent the inexplicable annoyance in his heart. It was also this inexplicable annoyance in his heart that made Lucius's attitude towards the old insect as everyone saw it. Lucius was a very straightforward person. Unless it was for Rome, otherwise, he would not suppress the annoyance in his heart. It was a rare occasion for a Holy Grail War. He could also thoroughly enjoy all his own emotions for once.
You must know, in his life, in order to allow Rome to achieve its revival and to prioritize resisting foreign enemies, Lucius had ignored those military governors in various regions who could basically be called local emperors. But he had also tasted the bitter fruit of not pacifying the interior. After all, if it weren't for that governor of Gaul having nothing better to do and, during the time he was resisting the Scourge of God, provoking Great Britain... Of course, it was possible that the governor of Gaul had done it on purpose. After all, any discerning person should be able to see that when this Roman Emperor defeated that so-called Scourge of God and blocked that fragment of a wandering star on the grasslands, it would be the time for this emperor to turn his head and deal with them. In order to continue to be their local emperors, of course, they had to keep the outside of this country in a state of war, to keep this Roman Emperor constantly on the move. And by the way, if Great Britain really chose to pay them tribute, then they could pin their hopes on other countries. And he, the governor of Gaul, could, on the contrary, get a good sum of money.
But who could have thought that such a provocation would end up destroying his own country?
Karna landed not far away. He looked at the Roman Emperor before him and nodded lightly. He then also began to burn with raging flames. "Karna, son of the Sun God Surya. It is my honor to meet so many powerful warriors and heroes in this Holy Grail War."
Lucius raised an eyebrow. "You've got a silver tongue. But I won't go easy on you just because you speak beautifully. In my opinion, to fight with all one's might is to show respect to one's opponent."
The aura on Karna's body also became more powerful. This raging flame was also his response. "Please, by all means!"
To hold back is the greatest insult to a warrior. Especially now that they were in the middle of a Holy Grail War. Have you ever seen someone go easy on an enemy in a war?
An even more powerful magical energy erupted from Lucius's body. He then curled his lips into a smile. "Actually, I really hope you can stop me. But if you die at my hands due to a lack of strength, then don't blame me."
