Chapter 1143: Can't Detect His Magical Energy Reaction Anymore
Absolute zero ice can still be corroded by curses?
What happened to all molecules being completely still, supposedly rendering even time meaningless?
Matters in the magecraft world really don't need to be considered so carefully!
"Looking at that recovery momentum, it'll probably fully recover in at most five minutes, right?"
Eiji pondered silently.
The Curse God's sheer volume was evident. If compared to an ordinary person, that level of recovery would likely be instantaneous, not falling behind a True Ancestor in the slightest!
"When did Bavanshee become the Curse God's core... Tch, this has become troublesome now!"
Eiji slowly descended from the air.
He now had no choice but to believe that voice from earlier, because he truly hadn't found Bavanshee until now—it was indeed possible she had been thrown into the Great Pit!
His earlier thought that Bavanshee might become a Great Calamity had actually come true!
Although he didn't really like her, for Morgan's sake, Bavanshee really had to be saved!
The golden light swords suddenly split into three, then became nine.
They gathered in a conical formation before him, the light swords spinning violently to form a drill-like shape, with a continuous humming sound.
Eiji stood behind the drill, surrounded by numerous gem shields.
Then he controlled the combined drill and fiercely charged toward the Curse God!
"What happened?"
Inside the submersible, everyone watched Eiji's actions, completely baffled.
He had been controlling things perfectly from a distance, clearly having gained the upper hand, so why suddenly switch to close combat now?
Anyone could see that the Curse God's massive size made it completely unsuitable for close combat.
"That powerful magical energy fluctuation earlier should have been meant to decide the battle with one strike, but then he switched to close combat in the blink of an eye... Something must have happened, right?"
Little Da Vinci looked at the magical energy analysis data on the control panel, speculating uncertainly.
Everyone exchanged glances, unable to figure out what Eiji was thinking.
But now they couldn't get close to that area either.
They could only watch helplessly as Eiji and the Curse God began their close-quarters entanglement.
"This is bad, the Cursed Hands are coming out again!"
Murakata's face showed deep concern.
The numerous Cursed Hands that had been destroyed by the giant black sword's descending strike earlier had now regenerated, continuously extending from the Great Pit.
In just a few seconds, they exceeded a thousand!
Trying to deal with that dense swarm of Cursed Hands, each comparable to a Great Calamity, through close combat was simply delusional!
Blocked by countless Cursed Hands, everyone on the submersible gradually lost sight of the battle within the Great Pit.
Only Eiji himself knew how arduous this battle was.
Cursed Hands appeared one after another, each clearly targeting him with slapping attacks, quickly forming large-scale encirclement nets that were impossible to evade completely.
To get close to the Curse God, Eiji could only grit his teeth and charge forward.
The tip of the golden drill was imbued by Eiji with dimensional devouring power, allowing him to shatter the Cursed Hands with each strike and swiftly navigate through the encirclement!
The cursed hands closed in from behind, and Eiji quickly accelerated using his supernatural ability, shaking off all the cursed hands!
While manipulating the golden light sword, he simultaneously channeled the power of his familiars and unleashed his supernatural ability.
Eiji split his consciousness into three parts just to barely maintain this charging momentum.
Damn it, it feels like my brain isn't enough!
"Damn it!"
The moment he broke through the blockade of cursed hands, an intense intuition warning, like a buzzer, suddenly rang in his mind!
Eiji instinctively cursed under his breath.
What came rushing toward him was a deep purple magical cannon blast that seemed to dye the entire world in a poisonous hue!
Taking advantage of the numerous cursed hands blocking Eiji's line of sight, the Cursed God had prepared a full-power magical cannon blast, which struck his face with perfect accuracy!
"BOOOOOOOOOOM————!!!"
A magnificent and thunderous roar echoed as if the sky itself were collapsing.
The ominous magical cannon instantly shattered all the cursed hands in front of it, carving out the entire Camelot city district from the front, and even extended dozens of kilometers into the distance until it vanished beyond the horizon!
"What—?!"
"Incredible power!"
"Where is he? Is Eiji okay?"
In an instant, everyone aboard the submarine who witnessed the attack that split the earth in two grew frantic with worry.
"...I can't detect Eiji's magical energy response?"
Da Vinci's face turned deathly pale.
"How is that possible?!"
"Lord Eiji shouldn't be someone who dies so easily!"
As if by reflex, everyone present erupted into chaos, unwilling to believe such an outcome.
"Could it be time to prepare for the final measure?"
Holmes's expression was weary.
...
As if in the midst of a battlefield, the roar of cannon fire filled her ears.
Gripping her staff tightly, Artoria ran through the palace corridors.
Her destination was the council chamber at the top of the palace, where not only Morgan's throne was located but also the twelve Holy Lances Morgan had magically deployed at the entrance of the Great Pit!
Muramasa's words had reminded her.
If they were looking for an anti-fortress Noble Phantasm, nothing was more suitable than those twelve Holy Lances!
They were originally placed there by Morgan to deal with the Cursed God that would crawl out from the depths of the Great Pit, meaning that in Morgan's calculations, those twelve Holy Lances possessed the power to defeat the Cursed God!
Not only were there enough in number, but more importantly, the throne could supply the magical energy, allowing the Holy Lances' power to be maximized!
With that combination, they could surely blast away the cursed flesh covering the Cursed God's body in one go!
At that moment.
Crimson shockwaves and golden lightning descended from the sky, striking the Cursed God outside the corridor. Vast magical energy transformed into a rain of attacks, mercilessly pounding the Cursed God.
"Has Eiji arrived?"
Artoria breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
If he was here, whether they could win or not, at least he could buy them a lot of time!
"I'm here!"
Continuously reinforcing her legs with magical energy, Artoria finally reached the uppermost floor of the palace!
Although cracks were everywhere, the Cursed God's attacks had not reached this area yet. Both the throne and the Holy Lances remained completely unharmed!
"This is the savior Cernunnos, Morgan's ultimate masterpiece!"
Gazing at the immovable throne before her, Artoria's heart swelled with admiration and longing.
"As expected, I could never surpass Morgan in my lifetime, could I?"
But now is not the time to dwell on such thoughts!
It is precisely because of the system Morgan left behind that they now have a chance to defeat the overwhelmingly powerful Curse God. She should be grateful for this fact!
Artoria quickly stepped forward.
She placed her hand on the Jade Throne, connecting with it through her fairy crest.
"Urgh—!"
The girl suddenly let out a pained murmur.
Only when she truly connected with the throne did she fully comprehend just how terrifying the accumulated magical energy within it was!
