Chapter 203 Bare-handedly blocking an anti-military weapon
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Violent collision sounds continued to ring out and spread outwards.
Amidst this incessant cacophony, a fierce offensive and defensive battle was raging.
Holding a long spear, Shirou Kotomine, as the attacker, continuously exerted his oppressive aura.
A sharp spearhead can always find a weak point.
With the help of Command Spells, Mordred did indeed gain the power to fight Shirou Kotomine in a short period of time.
But that's about it.
Being able to engage in fierce fighting does not guarantee victory.
Mordred still had no chance of winning, even though the situation on the court didn't seem to put her at a disadvantage.
But that was just an illusion.
Just like right now.
The magic that had been bestowed upon Mordred had not yet dissipated, and she was still maintaining her peak condition.
But the situation is now very different from what it was just now.
In the fierce battle with Mordred, Shirou Kotomine's spear tip, gleaming with a cold light, lightly sliced through the air, making a delicate cut along the armor on her chest.
Bright red blood then splattered.
But it was instantly evaporated by the intense magical power.
The magic that enveloped Mordred was originally as turbulent as lightning and had a crimson color.
At this moment, the magic appeared to become even more crimson.
It was as if Mordred was bathing in blood.
And that is indeed the case.
As the battle progressed, Shirou Kotomine had already figured out Mordred's moves in less than a minute.
As my journey grows longer and longer.
Shirou Kotomine is gaining more and more experience.
This also made him increasingly adept at seeing through the enemy's combat techniques.
After seeing through Mordred's moves, her defense, which was originally built on the enhancement of her basic abilities, became even more strained.
As a result, Mordred, who was originally able to parry all of Shirou Kotomine's attacks, began to suffer frequent injuries, with wounds constantly appearing on her body.
Although Shishikatsu Kairi, who was far away, was constantly healing Mordred's injuries with healing magic, the frequency of their battles was just too fast.
She has more and more fresh wounds on her body.
Although the Lion's Healing Magic was very timely.
But wounds always seem to appear on Mordred.
Fresh blood would always flow from her body.
Thus, as if his blood had been infused with magic, Mordred became even more ferocious and imposing.
Even as his injuries multiply.
But Mordred's fighting prowess only grew stronger.
Mordred gradually began to abandon defense and focused all his energy on offense.
She came toward Kotomine Shirou once again.
"ah!!!"
Mordred roared.
"What amazing willpower!"
As Kotomine Shirou retreated, he continued fighting, maintaining a distance from Mordred at all times.
As the saying goes, "An inch longer, an inch stronger."
Martial artists who are skilled at using spears are always exceptionally good at controlling distances.
These types of people also have the advantage of being calm.
Even though Mordred was getting stronger and stronger in battle, like a demon or god.
But Shirou Kotomine's eyes remained calm.
His high morale did not affect Shirou Kotomine's thinking.
For a fighting style like his that relies on extensive experience to gain an advantage, the most important thing is to remain calm.
He needs to dismantle Mordred's offensive like solving a puzzle.
"Although Mordred played madly, the advantage on the field was in my hands from beginning to end. I was the one guiding the situation on the field."
"The analysis of Mordred's battle is complete, but the advantages gained from it are not as many as I imagined, because she always changes her offensive suddenly before I can seize her fatal weakness."
"This change came without warning, so is it an inherent skill of hers? Like intuition? Or a similar ability?"
Based on his accumulated knowledge, Shirou Kotomine continuously deduced Mordred's information.
Although he had some knowledge of the Servants participating in this Holy Grail War, what he knew most about them were their true names and Noble Phantasms.
As for innate skills, unless they are particularly important abilities, Shirou Kotomine rarely remembers them.
There weren't many inherent skills that he could remember vividly.
For example, Karna's magical energy release (fire).
Semiramis's Double Summoning.
Vlad III's protector general.
He only remembers these three inherent skills, and these three inherent skills are the characteristics of these three Servants.
But this does not mean that the inherent skills are not strong enough.
Inherent skills are also an important factor that determines the strength of a Servant.
Therefore, during the battle, Shirou Kotomine was using his knowledge to guess Mordred's various abilities.
Shirou Kotomine's fighting style dictates that the more familiar he is with his opponent, the better he can counter them.
In short, Shirou Kotomine is a ruthless opportunist.
"clang!"
He easily deflected Mordred's frenzied attack, and Kotomine Shirou's sudden thrust nearly pierced her head.
But at that critical moment, Mordred once again relied on his instincts to dodge.
However, Shirou's subsequent sweeping attack once again brought Mordred to the brink of death.
But her helmet was easily sliced open by the reinforced spearhead.
Mordred's helmet was destroyed.
Her face was grazed by the tip of Shirou Kotomine's spear, leaving a bloody mark.
"Now we've smoothed things over."
Kotomine Shirou said with a smile.
The scars Mordred had left on his face had long been repaired by the Reversal spell, leaving no trace on his face.
But he was still satisfied with the seemingly harmless strike.
Even though he had previously inflicted more serious injuries on Mordred.
"Smooth it out? You're so naive!"
Mordred scoffed at Shirou Kotomine's tit-for-tat response.
"Aren't you childish?"
Shirou Kotomine saw it clearly; Mordred was also someone who held this view.
"Perhaps!"
Without arguing, Mordred charged at Kotomine Shirou once again.
"It's time to end this."
Seeing Mordred's actions, Shirou Kotomine couldn't help but shake his head.
Although Shirou Kotomine had a very enjoyable close-quarters battle with Mordred.
But Shirou Kotomine knew it was time to end this battle.
The Holy Grail War has been going on for a long time.
They fought from the ground to the sky, and then from the sky back to the ground.
At this point, sunrise was fast approaching, and Shirou Kotomine needed to end his battle with Mordred as soon as possible before engaging in the final showdown.
After all, according to the rules of the Holy Grail War, fighting is not allowed during the day.
Meanwhile, the referee of this Holy Grail War was silently observing the chaotic battle from behind Shirou Kotomine.
Kotomine Shirou had no intention of having a conflict with Jeanne d'Arc over such a matter.
Postponing the battle with Karna and Achilles until the next day would only increase the uncertainty.
Therefore, Shirou Kotomine must end the battle tonight.
Meanwhile, after a fierce battle with Mordred, Shirou Kotomine had gotten into the zone.
Now he can be in perfect condition for this final battle.
Before that, he needs to end his fierce battle with Mordred.
"A swift and decisive victory!"
Once again reiterating the main theme he had set for this battle, Shirou Kotomine secretly made up his mind.
The next moment, dense magical energy flowed from Kotomine Shirou's body and tightly wrapped around the spear in his hand.
Shirou Kotomine played his trump card.
Perhaps it was because Shirou Kotomine was in excellent condition at that moment.
The moment the curse power was unleashed, Black Flash was immediately triggered.
The pitch-black cursed power, as intense as lightning, immediately surged, and the spear, imbued with this black cursed power, was swiftly and accurately thrust into Mordred's chest by Kotomine Shirou.
Mordred saw the attack.
Her intuition kept reminding her that this attack was dangerous.
But having taken the initiative to charge, she no longer had any chance to dodge.
Mordred quickly held his greatsword horizontally in front of his chest, attempting to block the attack.
She had used this tactic many times during this battle.
Each time, the results were remarkable.
But this time, the operation failed to achieve her goal.
The shot, which distorted space, struck Mordred's greatsword directly, and the immense power immediately caused Mordred's expression to change.
The powerful impact instantly shattered Mordred's resolve.
The greatsword, originally intended for parrying, slammed into her.
She used all her strength to try and hold on.
But there was nothing they could do.
In just two or three seconds of stalemate, Mordred's offensive was completely thwarted.
As Shirou Kotomine slightly vibrated his spear, Mordred's greatsword, which she had been barely holding in front of her chest, immediately swung to the side.
If Mordred hadn't gripped the hilt tightly, the sword would probably have flown away.
Whether the sword flew out or not was of no significance to Shirou Kotomine, because Mordred was now wide open.
She had no defenses left.
"it's over!"
Aiming directly at Mordred's heart, Shirou Kotomine delivered a precise and fatal blow.
The next moment, with a sigh in Shirou Kotomine's eyes, the spear in his hand pierced Mordred's heart, ending her life.
"I won, Mordred!"
Looking into Mordred's eyes, which were so close to him, Shirou Kotomine spoke earnestly.
"Yeah?"
Feeling the pain in her chest, Mordred was taken aback at first, but then she laughed.
With her left hand outstretched, Mordred grasped the shaft of Shirou Kotomine's spear that had pierced her chest, and raised her greatsword high with one hand, channeling all her remaining magical power into this strike.
In the blink of an eye, a crimson magical energy transformed into a giant sword tens of meters tall, standing in the sky.
At this last moment, Mordred activated her Noble Phantasm.
Seeing this, Shirou Kotomine immediately tried to pull back his spear and retreat, avoiding a confrontation with the dying Mordred.
After all, Mordred's spirit core had already been pierced by Shirou Kotomine.
He is able to continue moving now, which Kotomine Shirou speculates is because she has a skill called "Battle Continuation," which allows him to continue attacking even if he is hit in a vital spot.
However, this ability can only be maintained for a limited time.
He can't live forever.
Therefore, Shirou Kotomine's first reaction was to retreat.
But the gun was not drawn.
Mordred gripped her spear tightly.
"King of Extreme Execution!"
Seeing this, Kotomine Shirou no longer held back and directly unleashed Vlad III's Noble Phantasm.
For Vlad III, who has no other inherent skills, this Noble Phantasm is all his combat power and also his strongest ability.
I had a great time fighting Mordred in close combat before.
Therefore, Shirou Kotomine has never unleashed his Noble Phantasm.
But now that Mordred has taken the lead in unleashing her Noble Phantasm, Shirou Kotomine will naturally not leave it unused.
As Shirou Kotomine channeled his magic, dozens, even hundreds, of wooden stakes pierced Mordred from all directions, instantly turning her into a sieve.
But she did not die immediately.
"what!"
Mordred roared, unable to utter the full name of the Noble Phantasm.
But her fully unleashed strike was still unmatched and cut down.
She wanted to die together with Kotomine Shirou.
"Good timing!"
Despite being caught off guard by Mordred's Noble Phantasm, which she wielded with one hand, Shirou Kotomine still had several ways to deal with it.
For example, the simplest and most direct instantaneous teleportation.
But inspired by Mordred's incredibly strong will despite being severely injured, Shirou Kotomine couldn't help but feel his blood boil.
Driven by his own passion, all he wanted to do was block the attack head-on.
Then he extended his palm.
As Mordred swung her massive, multi-meter-long magic sword down, Shirou Kotomine, with little time to react, enveloped all his magical power in his palm.
Then he grasped the blazing sword.
"ah!!!"
Kotomine Shirou grasped the sword blade, which was bound by boundless magic power, with his bare hands. The scorching magic power burned, cut, and destroyed in Kotomine Shirou's hands!
Intense pain shot through Kotomine Shirou's hand.
But Shirou Kotomine didn't care at all.
He was also screaming.
Driven by the pain, boundless power surged from Kotomine Shirou's body, especially the dragon power that he had been nurturing all along.
Tiny scales appeared on Kotomine Shirou's body.
The power of the dragon reappeared within Shirou Kotomine.
"ah!!!"
Feeling the power expanding within him, Shirou Kotomine's roar gradually turned into a shout.
The flesh and blood that had been destroyed by Mordred's scorching blade began to rapidly regenerate under the effect of the Reversal spell.
And the restored arm actually withstood the scorching magic.
At this moment, Shirou Kotomine's body underwent rapid growth.
In the Fairy Tail world, the magic system inherently increases one's resistance to magic as one's strength increases.
Dragon Slayer Magic is also a type of magic that can greatly enhance physical constitution.
It is a magic that transforms a human's physique into that of a dragon.
At that moment, Shirou Kotomine's Dragon Slayer Magic underwent a qualitative change, which also caused a qualitative change in his physique.
At this moment, Mordred's scorching sword could no longer melt away Shirou Kotomine's flesh.
Her final sword strike was actually blocked by Shirou Kotomine with one hand!
Looking at this scene, Mordred's eyes revealed an unprecedented look.
What's going on?
