Equip the Strongest Defense, Take the Harshest Beating
Ancient Greece was an era of divine conflict, with countless gods walking the earth and demigods revered as great heroes. Their deeds were recounted for ages, and many of the weapons they once used became the Noble Phantasms of today.
Rho Aias is one such Noble Phantasm. It was the bronze shield that the great hero Ajax used to block Hector's spear. Originally, it was just a bronze shield wrapped in seven layers of oxhide, but through later generations' legends and songs, it was elevated to become one of the strongest shields!
*Boom!*
The stone slab, fully charged, fired a shot! Meanwhile, a seven-petaled flower blossomed quietly in Mo Shuying's palm, completely shielding him!
*Rumble!!*
The sound of the cannon and shield colliding was deafening! The chaotic energy waves surged in all directions.
After the shot ended, three petals of the massive flower in Mo Shuying's hand shattered. Mo Shuying was unharmed, but the ground around him, apart from the patch directly beneath his feet, had vanished, leaving a large crater filled with molten, glowing rock.
"Is that all? It's comparable to an Anti-Army Noble Phantasm, but only comparable. It still can't match the true power of an Anti-Army Noble Phantasm. Hmph."
Mo Shuying scoffed, then abruptly yanked his right arm, snapping the chains wrapped around it. His clothes transformed as he switched to Saber mode, drawing the Sword of Promised Victory. Wherever its blade passed, all the chains were severed.
Once he could move freely, Mo Shuying no longer concealed himself. He knew stealth was useless now, so there was no point in hiding. He'd just fight his way in!
Mo Shuying turned to jump across the large crater towards the ruins of the Matou Residence.
For some unknown reason, the Hanging Gardens of Vanity summoned by Semiramis this time did not appear in their true form. All their effects were present, but their appearance remained that of the Matou Residence.
This was inconsequential; it didn't stop Mo Shuying from planning to demolish the place. Just as he was about to jump, suddenly!
*Boom!*
Another beam of light suddenly struck from his front-left! Mo Shuying wanted to test his current defensive strength, so he didn't dodge at all and met it head-on!
"Open!!"
Mo Shuying unleashed his Mana! This was Saber's Mana Burst, forming a barrier of his dense Mana to obstruct enemy magical attacks. The armor Mo Shuying wore was also a manifestation of his Mana Burst.
However, Mo Shuying wasn't relying solely on Mana Burst!
He also had Magic Resistance B, Blue Scale Carapace C, Bedrock Armor D, and his HP, which was nearing twenty thousand!
*Boom!!*
The light beam struck its target, engulfing Mo Shuying.
"Crack!"
Mo Shuying felt his Mana shield shatter, his Bedrock Armor break, and his Blue Scale Carapace fill to capacity, followed by a surge of pain!
"This! Is this all it is?!"
Mo Shuying's eyes widened. His HP plummeted rapidly as he was bathed in the light beam! In just a few seconds, he lost a fifth of his HP. This was the most damage he had taken since his transmigration. The Magic Cannon was powerful, but not powerful enough!
Mo Shuying stood his ground, the expression on his face gradually relaxing. There was no helping it; A-rank Magic Resistance was just too strong. When the light beam ended, Mo Shuying was still standing there, all his Mana concentrated to protect his head. My head can be severed, my blood can flow, but my hairstyle must not be messed up!
"One shot, over five thousand HP. That's pretty good."
Mo Shuying muttered to himself. It sounded like praise, and indeed, it was praise.
He possessed a series of defensive skills, and the damage blocked by his defensive skills alone was more than five thousand. To inflict such damage indicated that the Hanging Gardens of Vanity was quite powerful.
Seeing no more light beams, Mo Shuying guessed that Semiramis might be confused, doubting the power of her own Noble Phantasm.
Taking advantage of the moment, Mo Shuying began to regenerate HP. Madman's Pride, combined with Go Wherever You Want and Battlefield Valor, restored him to full in less than five seconds.
Mo Shuying exhaled, lifted his foot, and prepared to jump. But as he put force into it!
"Swish swish swish swish swish!"
Suddenly, chains appeared from the void. Mo Shuying held his sword vigilantly, but then realized these chains weren't attacking him! Instead, they plunged directly into the large crater in the ground and then violently flipped it up!
*Rumble!*
A large section of the ground was ripped away from the main structure, leaving Mo Shuying momentarily stunned. Then, he plummeted downwards along with that piece of ground.
The Hanging Gardens of Vanity had been continuously ascending since its appearance. At this point, it was about three hundred meters above the ground. If left unchecked, it could even rise to several thousand meters.
Three hundred meters was not low for a human.
Mo Shuying stood on the fragment, watching the Hanging Gardens of Vanity recede into the distance, then turned his head to look nearby.
"Magic Bullet!"
Medea and Astolfo had arrived. They were flying and attacking the stone slabs. Medea was fine; a witch from the Age of Gods was not to be trifled with. When she got angry, the sight of continuous bombardment was awe-inspiring, and the stone slabs were struggling to cope.
Astolfo's damage was a bit lower, but they could still draw the stone slabs' anti-air attacks, preventing the light beams from falling on the city again.
As for the others.
"We're here!"
Illya and Miyu flew in after transforming into Magical Girls. The others didn't have flight capabilities, but Luvia had money power!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!"
A helicopter rapidly approached. August sat in the cockpit, skillfully piloting the helicopter, with Luvia, Emiya Shirou, Bazett, and Kirei behind him!
"Illya! Miyu! Pave the way!"
Luvia shouted into a walkie-talkie. The two young girls immediately unleashed their Mana! With waves of their wands, paths made of Mana extended upwards from the ground, and the Heroic Spirits, who had been waiting, stepped onto this path of light!
"Father! I will prove myself to you!"
Mordred changed into a different set of armor, but she didn't wear a helmet. Her greatsword gleamed as she said something to Saber, who was on the other path, before charging forward.
Saber merely smiled at Mordred's words. Her armor was striking, and she too charged forward, gripping her sword with both hands.
Illya and Miyu each created two Mana paths. On the other side, Heracles and Cú Chulainn also stepped onto light paths, rushing towards the stone slabs.
As mentioned before, it was one slab per person, but no one knew who would break through their slab first.
"Go, Berserker!!"
Illya cheered for Heracles. In an instant, the running Heracles let out a wild roar, as if injected with adrenaline, and accelerated again! The effect was outstanding.
*Boom!*
It was at this moment that Mo Shuying finally landed. All that had been described had actually happened in a matter of seconds.
Mo Shuying waved his hand, clearing away the dust, and looked at the people in the air, a smile playing on his lips.
"I can't fall behind either."
There was still one stone slab left for him, and he couldn't let others surpass him.
However, Flash was still on cooldown, and he didn't seem to have any flight ability. He could fly if he transformed into Caster, but his combat power wouldn't be strong.
After some thought, Mo Shuying took out a card. It was a Class Card depicting a knight.
He hesitated for a moment, then sighed and swapped this card with the Saber card.
"Just this once, just this once."
The instant the swap was complete!
*Boom!*
"Whoa! Ah!!"
A loud neigh echoed across the sky! White holy light blossomed, and a winged mythical Pegasus appeared. On its back was a burly man wearing an eye patch and holding reins and a whip!
