The Epic Story of the Heroic Spirit of Emiya Giant Warrior

#165 - Section 165

Tiona stared at the scene before her in disbelief, exclaiming in surprise.

"Who was that flying person just now?"

Lefiya was also dumbfounded.

As Tiona said, the behemoth before them was indeed like a giant octopus.

What stirred Tione's memory was the female-type monster they had encountered in the fifty-ninth level during the previous 【Expedition】.

Although the lower body of the monster Riviria had instantly killed with super magic at that time was a Rafflesia, they shared more similarities.

"We can't let it catch up to Ais and the others! Tiona, Tione, we'll stop it! Anya, Lefiya, you go deal with the other monsters!"

Fortunately, this was a town of adventurers, inhabited entirely by adventurers with rich combat experience, not ordinary citizens.

All the residents had experienced many battles and were even accustomed to occasional attacks.

On the streets, adventurers emerged from their residences one after another, wielding weapons to fight against the plant-type monsters.

Some people in the crowd shouted for everyone to gather, trying to organize temporary squads to encircle and suppress the monsters. The sounds of battle gradually converged into a single roar, the clashing of metal and monsters echoing through the air.

Until Anya and Lefiya joined the fray, their participation slightly improved the overall situation.

Meanwhile, Lefiya distributed magic swords and, under the protection of the crowd, began chanting powerful magic, providing fire support for the entire battlefield.

"Take this, Golden Spark!"

The man-eating flower monster's neck was severed by the greatsword in this attack, emitting a shrill scream. A giant tentacle was cut off, and the power of thunder immediately erupted, instantly scorching the cut, the smell of burning filling the air.

Unlike her sister, Tione was more composed. Wielding her twin falchions, she danced swiftly, accurately chopping a thick tentacle into pieces while effortlessly avoiding all of the monster's attacks, acting with ease.

Tione snorted coldly, waving her falchions to repel the countless tentacles that swarmed towards her.

Faced with this predicament, Tione cursed, and at the same time, took out a throwing knife from her bosom and hurled it fiercely at the enemy.

Just then, the sound of something cutting through the air suddenly rang out—

Emiya's support fire had arrived.

Arrows rained down from the sky like a storm, piercing through the female monster's defenses one after another, the tentacle attacks were instantly suppressed, and the monster's main body was hit repeatedly by the rapid arrows.

"These guys, they're the real monsters."

Not far away, some adventurers watched as the three of them suppressed the giant monster, their faces filled with astonishment, and they couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.

Some adventurers also tried to join the battle, however, the huge monster's tentacles waved around like giant waves in the sea, completely disregarding whether enemies were approaching, and anyone who got close was dispersed by a single blow from the tentacles.

Even if they dodged the attacks of the tentacles, they would be grabbed by the colorful vine tentacles extending from the upper body, or directly pierced through.

"Get out of here, all of you!"

Tione shouted angrily, waving her falchions to cut several tentacles into pieces.

"Yes! ! !"

The rescued adventurers immediately didn't dare to act tough again, and quickly retreated.

Tiona complained while swinging her sword to cleave the incoming tentacles.

Tione shouted.

Emiya also stopped shooting, dispelled the 【Celestial Bow】, projected a new bow, and went all out to load his spirit.

Half a minute later, Emiya spoke.

The two sisters, hearing his order, unhesitatingly dodged in two different directions.

【Pseudo-Flame God's Roar (Hephaistos Gandiva)】

This was a bow originating from the Indian epic Mahabharata, the treasure of the "Heaven-Sent Hero" Arjuna.

It was said that this bow was given to Arjuna by Agni, the God of Fire, possessing the divine power of flames, a divine bow capable of summoning raging flames and incinerating everything.

However, he used a special method to "fake" this bow.

Agni is the God of Fire… and Hephaestus is also the God of Fire.

"In the flames of the Fire God Hephaestus, turn to dust—Flame God's Roar (Hephaistos Gandiva)!"

Then, in the next instant, the colorful upper body and the bloated, hideous lower body suddenly broke apart and separated.

Tiona's eyes sharpened, and she shouted loudly.

Tione also realized the monster's intention.

Rivira Town was built on the edge of a cliff, and below that steep precipice was a vast lake.

The monster's body gradually burned away, and even in the scorching flames, the upper female body was still struggling desperately, teetering and wanting to jump into the lake.

However, things did not go as she wished. Even after falling into the lake, the flames still did not go out.

Fire and water met, but did not weaken in the slightest, but instead burned even more fiercely.

Emiya stood in place, watching this scene, the bow in his hand still not lowered.

At the same time, the Amazon sisters jumped into the lake without hesitation and swam towards the burning monster.

The Amazon sisters, strengthened by the development ability 【Diving】, quickly approached the monster.

"Ah!"

Accompanied by a huge scream, the female monster's body was cut in half.

After a while, two figures climbed onto the shore of the lake.

Emiya glanced at Tione: "You keep the magic stone for now, we'll go support Anya and the others."

"Guh…"

Tione bit her lip unwillingly.

However, as time passed, her physical strength gradually depleted, her movements began to become slow, and her steps were no longer as agile as they had been at first.

The cat girl realized that the situation on the battlefield was not right. All around were plant-type monsters constantly surrounding her. She gasped for breath, a trace of panic flashing in her eyes.

A rapid black shadow flashed past her, its movements as swift and fierce as thunder.

Almost in the blink of an eye, that man had swept through the entire town. None of the monsters that Anya had been fighting against were spared, all were wiped out.

The fastest man in the city, 【Goddess's Chariot】 Allen Fromel, slowly walked in front of Anya.

"That monster, it's from the fifty-ninth floor...!"

Tione also recognized the monster before her, her voice laced with disbelief.

It had ten tentacles, mutated from the bodies of man-eating flower monsters. Each tentacle seemed to possess an independent consciousness, twisting, turning, and writhing in a grotesque and distorted manner.

Ais and Vigne were closely pursuing the heavily injured red-haired woman when the massive monster suddenly began moving in their direction, its enormous body crushing the ground with a dull rumble.

Wemiya shouted loudly.

"Yes!"

"Got it, nya!"

By this point, Rivira was in utter chaos, with a large number of plant-type monsters rampaging through the streets, smashing everything in their path. Buildings teetered precariously, and the air was filled with noise and terrified screams.

Therefore, although the attack occurred in the early morning, the adventurers were initially confused and caught off guard, but they quickly reacted and began to organize a counterattack in an orderly manner.

However, most of the adventurers in town were only Lv.1 or Lv.2, with only one reaching Lv.3. Facing these numerous and exceptionally ferocious plant-type monsters, they struggled greatly in battle.

Anya charged through the plant monsters like a chariot, her crimson spear flashing with a sharp light. Relying on her absolute attack power, she quickly broke through the defenses of several man-eating flowers and treants.

Tiona shouted, wielding her greatsword and hacking fiercely at the neck of a man-eating flower monster.

However, even after losing its flower portion, the charred tentacle continued to writhe on the ground.

"Wow! It's still moving!"

"It was a monster to begin with, of course it's still moving!"

Just as Tione was about to seize the opportunity to take the monster's combat power, the upper half of the female form suddenly began to move. Its tentacles shot out like spears, swift and deadly.

"Damn thing!"

These tentacles weren't just simple linear attacks; they even curved, attacking from all directions, forcing her to retreat frequently.

A throwing knife cut a white arc through the air, heading straight for the upper half of the female form. However, the monster's tentacles reacted quickly, striking down the knife in mid-air with a "clang."

Under the barrage of arrows, the female form monster's movements began to slow, giving Tione the opportunity to attack unreservedly.

Although possessing the title of [Saber], Wemiya's most formidable combat state was when he fought as an Archer, with powerful vanguards at his side.

The tentacles had a surprisingly long attack range. Some mages, whose magic power was detected by the monster, were struck down by the sudden tentacles before they could even finish chanting.

Dwarves raised large shields to protect their comrades, but they were blown away in just a few blows, unable to withstand the terrifying power.

The scene became chaotic. The adventurers' rash actions not only failed to aid the battle but also hindered Wemiya's arrow shots and even forced Tione to free up her hands to save them.

"Damn, at this rate, it seems like this will never end."

"Even if we cut off the tentacles, it will continue to regenerate unless we completely kill the main body."

[Oath Under The Snow]

Skill effect activated]

"Tiona, Tione, get out of the way!"

The bow projected by Wemiya's hand was unlike anything seen before. It shimmered with metallic light in the sunlight, as if surrounded by a layer of invisible fire power.

In that epic filled with heroes and myths, Arjuna was one of the most important heroes, and his bow, "Gandiva," symbolized the power of the gods.

Wemiya was, of course, unable to project this true divine armament. There was also no detailed record of this bow in his [Unlimited Blade Works].

Wemiya raised the bow and aimed at the main body of the female form monster. On the bowstring, an arrow formed from condensed flames gradually materialized.

249

Chapter 249: The Goddess's Chariot.

The female form monster, engulfed in flames, let out a miserable wail, its body shaking violently in the fire before suddenly leaning back.

"She's running away!"

"Is that guy trying to jump into the lake?!"

The upper half of the female form, losing its support, screamed as it crossed the square and rolled all the way down the slope.

The monster's goal was clearly to use the lake water to extinguish the flames engulfing her.

The wailing upper half of the female form crossed the cliff, and as it fell, the monster's lips twisted into what looked like a mocking smile.

"Boom--"

The lake water splashed up in a huge spray, and the monster's upper half churned in the lake.

On the surface of the lake, a dazzling ball of fire seemed to float, particularly conspicuous.

He drew back the bowstring, continuing to aim at the struggling target in the flames.

The flames continued to burn, like a red lotus blooming on the water, eerie and beautiful.

"Now's the time!"

Tiona shouted, swinging her greatsword forward.

At the same time, Tione quickly grabbed the magic stone that shimmered with iridescent light.

Tione walked up to Wemiya with a look of wanting to take credit, and she placed the magic stone that shimmered with iridescent light into her full chest, seemingly intentionally hinting at something to the other party.

On the other side, Anya was running through the town, wielding her crimson spear and constantly killing monsters.

"Crap, I charged too far ahead, I'm surrounded..."

Just then—

"You're still, so useless."

A cold and contemptuous voice rang out, instantly freezing Anya's entire body. Her heart felt like it was being clenched tightly by an invisible hand, instantly losing her fighting spirit.

Wherever the black shadow passed, all the monsters, regardless of size, were instantly torn apart and crushed, as if run over by a real chariot, leaving behind a pile of wreckage.

Anya looked at Ellen, who was gradually approaching, trembling all over, her eyes filled with fear.

She involuntarily curled up on the ground, closing her eyes, as if waiting for something terrible to happen.
