Chapter 674: 522 Holy Spear - Raise Anchor!_2
Just like the players and NPCs in the world of the Overlord, the Servants recorded in the Heroic Spirit’s Throne also possessed skills that could produce special effects to varying degrees.
[Magic Resistance] was a rather common Servant skill that provided immunity or resistance to sorcery and magic. High levels of [Magic Resistance] could even display perfect resistance, completely nullifying all sorcery and magic.
Therefore, in this world, whether fairies or Servants, both had a certain dominance over magicians.
This was also why magicians were not highly regarded in Fairy Country and some other places.
As long as one possessed skills like [Magic Resistance] like the Servants, or had special blessings like the fairies, ordinary magics would be invalidated.
Among the many existences that could ignore the threats of sorcery and magic, the resistance held by beasts transformed from corrupted humans was considered the strongest.
In such a situation, Reiger’s weakening magic and obstructive magic that worked directly on the enemy would likely all be invalidated, and even low, medium, or high-level attack magic would find it difficult to harm the enemy.
To inflict damage on such an enemy with magic, one would absolutely need to use something beyond superior magic, Tactical Level Magic, or even Strategic Level Magic.
Even after Reiger had obtained Morgan’s ring, greatly boosting his magical prowess, and though the power of his magic had become much stronger than before, ordinary magic could still only tickle Gao Yang Skaia.
"In that case..."
Transforming into a blaze soaring towards the sky, once again dodging an attack capable of generating a tempest, hesitation suddenly flashed across Reiger’s eyes.
"Should I use that move?"
The attack method that emerged in Reiger’s mind was none other than the trump card he had obtained after fulfilling Morgan’s "condition."
If it was that move, even if the opponent was a beast of amusement, it might play a significant role, right?
The problem was, Reiger did not know whether he could successfully use it.
Because this was a grand magic that even Morgan could only convert into a magical artefact and mount in the royal castle of Camelot to use as a weapon.
That is to say, without external help, it was also difficult for Morgan herself to release it solely by magical means.
Although Reiger had obtained this trump card, he likewise lacked the confidence to use it.
"Boom!!!"
While Reiger hesitated, the hidden beast in the storm seemed to have completely lost its patience, stirring up an even more violent storm while furiously attacking, its tail like a rapid storm, bombarding Reiger’s body.
"[Radiant Green Body]!"
Reiger’s pupils constricted, barely able to activate the defensive magic that immunized against blunt attack attributes, before being blown away.
In an instant, astonishing force acted on his body, making him feel as if he had been hit by a large mountain, his figure turning into an unclear bullet flying backwards, luckily crashing into the chalk city’s wall.
"Cough...!"
Reiger couldn’t help but spit out all the air in his lungs.
"Mr. Reiger!"
"Reiger!"
The exclamations of Matthew and Altoria and others also followed, reaching Reiger’s ears.
But faster than the girls’ cries was the enemy’s offensive.
’Die, human.’
Gao Yang Skaia’s cold voice resonated throughout the dark world.
Then, tail after tail as sturdy as heaven’s columns lashed out in the storm.
"Boom—Boom—Boom—Boom—Boom—"
The terrifying tails carried terrifying power, striking one blow after another at Reiger’s location, raising a thunderous roar.
The beast’s youth mercilessly tormented a tiny human, as if intending to play him to death, giving no chance for a turnaround, unleashing a terrifying offensive.
"Reiger!"
"Mr. Reiger!"
Altoria and Matthew could no longer watch, immediately intending to rush out, but were stopped by Tristan.
"Do not go!"
The famous Round Table Knight’s expression was more serious than anyone present, a drop of cold sweat dripping from his forehead as he said so.
"This is no longer a battle we can casually intervene in; once we step out of this Round Table city, we will die."
The disparity in combat power was so great that it inevitably produced a sense of despair.
"Tamamo no Mae · Gao Yang Skaia..."
Da Vinci bit her lip and whispered softly,
"Although it’s not yet complete, it’s almost ready to pupate, right?"
Da Vinci fixed her gaze on the gigantic creature within the pitch-black storm, looking at its tail.
The continuously swinging massive tails, Da Vinci estimated, numbered six in total.
The fourth beast, the Beast of Play, according to Chaldea’s analysis, is based on the legendary white-faced, golden-haired nine-tailed fox, and its complete form should have nine tails.
In the past, Chaldea had also seen Gao Yang Si Ka revealing her true nature, and at that time she had four tails.
Now, Gao Yang Si Ka had grown two more tails, becoming a six-tailed fox demon.
If she grows three more tails, then she will transform into a complete Beast, becoming a major calamity capable of destroying the entire history of mankind.
And the six-tailed Beast of Play, even though not fully complete, is almost ready to form the pupa.
Once it breaks from the pupa, it will be a fully fledged nine-tailed fox.
Facing such an opponent, to be honest, the fact that the human named Reiger could fight it to this extent was far beyond Da Vinci’s expectations.
For opponents of that level, even Crown Servants summoned specifically to slay beasts by the world itself might not be able to fight one-on-one against it, and if it was an ordinary servant, without gathering around six or seven knights’ worth of strength, they probably wouldn’t stand a chance.
Among these six or seven servants, half must be top-tier servants, and half must be servants with strong support abilities.
Such combat power is simply impossible to gather at this moment.
Tristan, as one of the foremost members among the Knights of the Round Table, barely qualifies as a top-tier servant.
Although Matthew possesses Galahad’s strength, previously he couldn’t be counted as a top-tier servant at all, only his defensive power was at that level; but now, somehow all of a sudden he seems to have grown stronger and indeed qualifies as a top-tier servant.
Da Vinci herself, with full awareness of her limits, could by no means be considered a top-tier servant; her support abilities are not bad but are limited and certainly not on par to handle a Beast.
As for Altoria, her Enchantment skills are very impressive, but they also don’t have the capability to shift the battle’s tide.
If they were to intervene, they might help Reiger stall the Beast of Play for a while, but cannot form an effective offensive.
In other words, there was no chance of winning.
"It would be great if they could deploy from that side..."
Thinking of Chaldea Headquarters that was currently waiting for news from their side and standing by, Da Vinci bit her lip even harder.
If they could deploy from there, there would be a chance of victory.
"No choice, we must retreat."
Among countless calculations, Da Vinci arrived at this conclusion.
Only this way could they avoid sacrifices to the greatest extent.
Thinking like this, Da Vinci, in the next moment, heard a voice,
"[Triple Enhancement Magic · Meteor Fall]!"
When this voice rang out, everyone hiding in the chalk city couldn’t help but look up, showing stunned expressions.
"What?"
Gao Yang Si Ka was also shocked.
For, in the pitch-black sky, there were massive meteors falling.
And not just one, but three.
Three meteors, each about hundreds of meters in diameter, suddenly plunged from the sky, burning with fire as they braked through the atmosphere and dove downward.
"Boom!"
The next second, the meteors struck the gigantic beast in the pitch-black storm.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The other two meteors also continuously struck the beast, causing it to howl in pain.
Then—
"’Holy Spear, weigh anchor’."
The cold voice echoed again.
Light, suddenly emerged.
