What Alcides was thinking was.
How could the poison of that hydra still exist on the surface!?
Given the current state of the decline of the Age of Gods.
That hydra should not exist in the present world.
However, Alcides miscalculated one thing.
Unlike other regions, Britain has not ushered in the decline of the Age of Gods, and it still maintains the continuation of the Age of Gods.
Even that hydra remains in Britain.
Still living on the surface of this world.
Alcides would never have thought that this hydra dagger was sold to Orlando by Britain.
In other words, this is Moran's investment.
Now, John, in whom he has placed his hopes, is only a few meters away from Alcides, and the poisoned blade stabs out fiercely.
Too many things were beyond Alcides' expectations.
Not only Noel, but also John's hydra dagger in front of him.
Moran's figure is behind all of this.
This Holy Grail War, before they even started fighting, the battle had already been foreshadowed.
"Tch…"
Alcides felt like he was in a spider web.
Gradually being entangled and bound by the silk.
However, he himself did not realize this.
Seeing this weapon that could kill him right in front of him, Alcides grabbed his bow and jumped back with all his strength.
At this moment, John didn't know what was happening to him either.
He only felt full of energy.
When he passed out, he seemed to have seen memories related to Dumas through a magical connection.
In the end, John could only attribute his changes.
To Dumas' intervention.
Just as John was about to take advantage of the situation and continue his charge, he was shocked by the cold aura emanating from Alcides.
Different from the atmosphere of the past.
This time, Alcides regarded him as an enemy, someone who should be taken seriously and killed quickly.
Treating him as an opponent like Richard.
No longer treating him as a powerless mortal.
"You who possess the means to kill me—I will acknowledge you as my enemy."
Alcides placed an arrow on his longbow.
While exuding killing intent, his tone was full of respect.
The other police officers also noticed John's change.
"Front line, retreat to protect the rear! Rear line, provide full cover for John!"
As the leader, Vera ordered the others to cover John, they must seize this small chance of victory.
Among them, Noel naturally took on the main pressure.
The tenacious characteristics of the vampire race were brought into full play by her.
"…"
Alcides stared at John.
Completely disregarding the obstruction of others.
He waved his longbow, stirring up a red and black magical storm, blowing away all those who stood in his way like a runaway truck.
No one could stop him.
Swish, swish, swish——!!
Suddenly, as Alcides had been vigilant about, dozens of chains shot out from the ground without warning.
They are the embodiment of elements in the air.
There was no time for people to react.
The object of Alcides'[Mind's Eye]alert instantly shifted, directly from John to these chains.
"…Moran!"
Alcides said in a deep voice.
This is a threat far greater than anyone present, and the judgment of[Mind's Eye]is not wrong.
Those chains are creations of the planet.
Alcides had not been going all out, just to guard against this kind of sudden attack.
The fact proves that his vigilance was not wrong.
"Boys, I've gone this far, don't let me be too disappointed."
Looking through the window of the building overlooking the street.
Moran muttered to himself with great interest.
At this time, Moran was like an old man rewarding the actors on the stage, and the sudden chains were his sponsorship.
The unexpected intervention led to a sudden change in the situation.
The chain network, like a Venus flytrap opening its mouth, shot out from different angles and wrapped around Alcides.
Each chain can withstand hundreds of tons of force.
There were dozens of them launching the attack.
Alcides'[Mind's Eye]can prevent danger, but there is more than one danger on the field.
[Mind's Eye]accumulated with various situations.
At this moment, it also lost its sensitivity.
Alcides relied on his superb dodging ability to avoid half of the chains, but a few wrapped around his hands and feet.
Although, this could not bind him.
But it could make him stiff.
This moment of weakness is an opportunity for a surprise attack.
Almost in an instant.
"Ooooooooooooooo——!!"
Accompanied by a high-pitched roar into the ears.
Police officer John burst out with a terrifying speed exceeding the speed of sound, and the hydra dagger fixed on his prosthetic arm pointed directly at Alcides' chest.
This is a blow that sacrifices even life.
Alcides shook his body and shattered all the chains.
But, there was no time to evade.
He chose to swing his longbow to meet the attack head-on.
While fighting someone wielding the Hydra Dagger is incredibly dangerous, getting hit by it would be even more so.
However, it was merely a feint, an opening presented.
But what does it matter if the one who seizes that opening isn't qualified enough to exploit it?
"Hmph!"
Alcides' strike was swift, ruthless, and precise!
The longbow bit down like the gaping maw of a monstrous beast.
Puchi- !!
In an instant, blood mist erupted, accompanied by the shattering of bone.
That was the sight of Officer John being crushed by his attack, Alcides showing no mercy this time.
Instead, he crushed him to the point of no return.
Severing any possibility of revival at its root.
If Alcides' [Mind's Eye] were functioning correctly, he would have realized one thing.
The danger was far from over.
Crack, crack—!
Another sound, like the world shattering.
Alcides sensed something was wrong.
He was still in the stance of crushing John.
Everything before him was as ephemeral as a dream.
John hadn't been smashed into pieces by his attack, yet he was still frozen in the motion of swinging his longbow.
"Is that… the vampire!?"
Alcides said in a deep voice.
Not only was the fact that John was killed defined as "false," but even his breaking free from the chains had become "false."
Only one person could do this.
That was Noel, who was not far away with a rather unpleasant expression.
"Ugh… don't underestimate me…!"
Noel forced herself to activate her ability.
Forcibly using an unmastered ability placed a considerable burden on her.
Under the effects of the Principle Idea Blood, she successfully defined the two crucial events as false.
Thus, seizing the opportunity for victory.
Even the weak can seize victory!
