Chapter 45 - Chapter 45 Holy Sword VS King's Army

To avoid affecting ordinary people, the battle didn't start directly.

Both sides came to an open area and used a magic spell to disperse bystanders.

After the arena was ready, the next part was Artoria and Iskandar's performance.

Weber and Iskandar said their goodbyes, and he consecutively used three Command Seals for him to achieve victory.

Lin Che saw this scene and shook his head slightly.

Too young, Command Seals aren't used like that.

He started the live broadcast so that people in the Chat Group could also watch this battle of two Kings.

Irisviel stood beside Lin Che and asked nervously, 'Will Saber win?'

Lin Che shook his head and said, 'I don't know. In terms of parameters, Saber is far stronger than Rider, but in battles between Servants, Noble Phantasms are more important than parameters!'

Iskandar's parameters are: Strength B, Endurance A, Demon Power C, Agility D!

Artoria's previous parameters were: Strength B, Endurance A, Demon Power A, Agility A!

However, after her Master changed to Lin Che, her parameters increased again. Her new parameters are: Strength A, Endurance A, Demon Power A, Agility A!

Comparing them, except for Endurance, Iskandar was completely overwhelmed by Artoria in the other three attributes.

With the parameter disparity, plus Artoria's martial arts, Iskandar basically couldn't win without using his Noble Phantasm.

But Iskandar's Noble Phantasm, the 'King's Army', is too powerful; it's very difficult to break without a World-class Noble Phantasm.

At this moment, inside the Chat Group.

Misaka Mikoto: 'Is this going to be a fair duel?'

Yotsuya Miko: 'To be safe, I think we can all go together, no need for one-on-one, right!'

Saeko Busujima: 'The Knight King's noble character is still commendable.'

Tsunade: 'I also think we can go together. After all, victory is the most important thing. If Arthur can't accept it, she can choose not to fight.'

Erza: 'Fair duels can happen anytime, but this is the Holy Grail War, so winning is the priority.'

Lin Che: 'Letting Artoria have a fair duel is just to let you watch an exciting live broadcast. After all, besides the previous battle that started strong but ended weakly, there hasn't been anything else exciting in this Holy Grail War.'

Misaka Mikoto: 'So that's what you meant, not bad.'

Yotsuya Miko: 'That makes sense. With Luo Cult Master and Upper God present, it's hard for the Holy Grail War to be lost. Artoria and Iskandar's duel is just putting a period on this Holy Grail War.'

Lin Che chatted in the group for a few sentences and then stopped paying attention, starting the serious live broadcast.

In the distance, Artoria and Iskandar had already started fighting.

Artoria removed the Wind Barrier on her Holy Sword, and Iskandar also took out his Noble Phantasm, 'Distant Spreading Domination'!

Both used greatswords, but due to differences in physique, Artoria held her sword with both hands while Iskandar held his with one hand.

However, this put Iskandar, whose strength was originally weaker than Artoria's, at a disadvantage.

Artoria attacked fiercely, continuously swinging her Holy Sword, her speed getting faster and faster, until only afterimages could be seen.

Iskandar was struggling to defend. His Strength was already one rank lower, and his Agility was three ranks lower.

In terms of martial arts, Iskandar wasn't very skilled either.

After all, he was a King. He didn't conquer the world by brute force but by his methods of commanding his subordinates.

This is like an Emperor and a Great General; an Emperor can lack martial prowess, but a Great General must have overwhelming martial prowess.

Not all Kings, like Artoria, possess superb martial arts.

In just under a minute, after less than a hundred exchanges, Iskandar's greatsword was knocked away by Artoria, who predicted his moves with her Instinct, and a wound was left on his body.

Iskandar sighed and said, 'I've lost. You won in terms of martial arts, but next, I'm going to get serious, because I am Rider!'

'Come!' Artoria's expression was serious; she knew the opponent was about to use a Noble Phantasm.

'Assemble, my comrades! Today, we shall engrave our heroic figures upon that greatest legend!' Iskandar shouted loudly, then activated the 'King's Army'!

In an instant, Artoria was pulled into the Inherent Barrier.

It seemed this guy was afraid of Lin Che and the others interfering in the battle, so he didn't pull them in together.

'Holy crap, this old geezer!' Lin Che couldn't help but curse.

Fortunately, the Chat Group's live broadcast function was very powerful; even the Inherent Barrier couldn't block it.

Lin Che enabled automatic live broadcasting, handing over the permissions to the System.

In an instant, the scene inside the 'King's Army' appeared.

Not only that, the System thoughtfully added a BGM, which turned out to be CoCo's 'Battle Song'!

Misaka Mikoto: 'For live broadcasts, you still have to watch the System! This angle, this BGM, it's getting hyped up!'

Erza: '@Lin Che, your live broadcast skills need improvement.'

Tsunade: '+1!'

Yotsuya Miko: '+2!'

Tokisaki Kurumi: '+3!'

Shinobu Kocho: 'No comparison, no harm.'

Lin Che: 'Alright, that's enough!'

Lin Che was speechless. He hadn't studied this kind of knowledge, so being able to live broadcast for them was already pretty good.

Ignoring the teasing in the group, he seriously watched the live broadcast.

Inside the Inherent Barrier, Iskandar commanded his great army and launched a full assault on Artoria.

Facing the countless Servant army, Artoria raised the Holy Sword in her hand with almost no hesitation.

'Sword of Promised Victory!'

True Name Liberation, the sword body erupted with golden light soaring into the sky, like a pillar of light supporting heaven and earth.

Intense Demon Power fluctuations whipped up strong winds, swirling yellow sand everywhere.

Lin Che zoomed in on the live broadcast screen, as if he were personally there.

As the Holy Sword slashed down, the light submerged the Servant army.

When the smoke dispersed, the Servant army within the 'King's Army' had all disappeared.

It was a pity that this strike couldn't break the barrier!

As long as Iskandar wasn't dead, as long as he still had Demon Power, and as long as the barrier wasn't broken, that Servant army would condense again.

Artoria obviously knew this point; she couldn't fight a prolonged battle with Iskandar.

Having released her Noble Phantasm, she swung her sword towards Iskandar again with almost no pause.

Iskandar's Agility was very low, but he was Rider!

He summoned the 'Flying Hooves Thundering Bulls' and the 'Wheels of Heaven Authority'. Driving the bull chariot, his speed instantly surpassed Artoria!

Iskandar continuously charged with the bull chariot, and Artoria could only defend.

Thus, the offense and defense switched.

Once the Servant army inside the 'King's Army' recovered, Artoria would definitely lose.

Inside the Chat Group.

Yotsuya Miko: 'Oh no, Arthur is going to lose!'

Misaka Mikoto: 'That 'King's Army' is too overpowered!'

Saeko Busujima: 'In the end, she was still a bit short.'

Erza: 'Don't jump to conclusions easily. The closer the battle gets to the final moment, the more likely unexpected changes are to happen.'

Tsunade: 'That's right. When a person is pushed into a desperate situation, it's very possible for them to erupt with potential beyond the norm!'

Shinobu Kocho: 'Arthur's Demon Power is very high. Can she use a second Noble Phantasm?'

Tokisaki Kurumi: 'Highly likely!'
