The other party's Noble Phantasm cannot be hardwired. Medusa made this judgment immediately. Then he decisively picked up the awl and stabbed it into his fair neck.

Blood spurts out, but please remember that this is not an act of suicide.

In Greek mythology, there is a legend that after Perseus beheaded the monster Gorgon, Pegasus, the celestial horse, appeared from the monster's blood.

The monster Gorgon is also Medusa at this time. Therefore, as long as you use the blood from Medusa's neck as a guide, you can summon the legendary Pegasus again.

Chunqi's Pegasus appeared on the battlefield, and Medusa immediately picked up his Master instead of sitting on the Pegasus' back.

Noble Phantasm is a hand rein named Heroic Spirit's Reins. It is a pair of Noble Phantasm that is used as a rein and a whip.

In fact, this Noble Phantasm has almost nothing to do with the attack that Medusa will launch next. Its function is only to enhance the power of the mount.

And this mount is the Pegasus that appeared before. The reason why Medusa appears in the world as a Rider. Without this Pegasus, she should have responded to the summons as a Lancer class, not a Rider.

Pegasus led the master to draw an arc in the air between the two, and then fell like a shooting star. The dot is marked here because this sentence is not a metaphor, and it is not a metaphor.

As the legendary Phantasmal Species, this blow of Pegasus really has the power of a falling meteor in a sense. Even if you are facing Star-Forged Holy Sword, you can still compete with it.

At the same time, the sword in the hand of Swordsman Yiyi has also finished charging. Among the people in the field, she was the only one with Noble Phantasm that could compete with the power of Pegasus' collision.

"The target is not to destroy their lives, but to destroy their civilization, the military god Yujian!"

Pure water collided with colored light, but this evenly matched collision only lasted a few seconds.

That pure meteor is not fond of fighting, and Medusa has not forgotten that her opponent is not only the destroyer of civilization, but also two other people.

If you insist on fighting , you may end up with a dead end.

In the distance, Shirou, who received the news from Sakura asking for help and rushed to the Matou Family with Enkidu and Artoria, discovered the scene of a meteor collision.

"Master?"

Compared to the earth-shattering movement, Enkidu and Artoria were more concerned about Shirou's attitude. To put it bluntly, both of them are currently working as thugs for Shirou. Of course it depends on what the boss Shirou thinks.

"No, it's nothing. Come over quickly, I always have an ominous feeling in my heart."

Not only Shirou, but also Artoria who has the Instinct skill has a similar feeling.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuah!!!"

Inexplicable roars came from the surrounding shadows, and then, a group of black shadows jumped out. He picked up the ax in his hand and chopped off Shirou's head.

Shirou held the in his hand, but this time he had no chance to make a move. Golden chains stretched out from the void, and they formed a protective net, guarding Shirou's side like heroic guards.

The ax scratched the chain, and only a burst of sparks appeared. As for destroying the chain, the ax is not qualified.

The owner of the axe was forced to retreat and stood under the street lamp. It is precisely because of this that Shirou and others can clearly see the appearance of the attacker.

His tall figure is almost as tall as a street lamp, and his face wears a metal mask, but the horns on both sides of his head cannot be faked.

He's like a monster, be it physical or otherwise. It matches the appearance of the boss of the maze in the game.

Asterius, the hero (monster) who bears the name of lightning. Pasiphae, the wife of King Minos who ruled the island of Crete, gave birth to a monster with the body of Minotaur, the son of a bull.

Although he was given the name Asterius (Thunder Light), not many people in this world call him by this name.

And his more famous name is Minotaur, which symbolizes King Milotao Bull.

Needless to say, Asterius appears as a Berserker.

The nature of an anti-hero is already suitable for the Berserker class. What's more important is that there are only one Archer, one Rider, one Assassin and one Berserker who haven't appeared yet.

Archer and Assassin were passed at the beginning. This guy was holding two axes. No matter how you looked at it, he couldn't be Archer or Assassin. And Asterius itself does not have the gossip of Riding, and does not have the affinity of the Rider class.

The results can be obtained by elimination methods.

"Sneak attack Berserker? That's interesting!"

Shirou pinched his chin, and at the same time motioned to the two Servant around him to go up and save this big guy quickly. They are in a hurry now. As for the pitiful identity of Asterius...

Shirou just wants to say, it's none of my business! I pity him, who can pity me!

"... kill... kill!..."

Asterius kept mumbling about "eat", "kill" and so on. Artoria and Enkidu were not interested, but Shirou's expression changed when he thought of Asterius Noble Phantasm.

"No! This guy is here to buy time, let's get rid of him!"

Shirou shouted, but it was too late. The surrounding space began to distort. The next moment, the three of them found themselves in a building that looked like a maze.

"Chaos Labyrinthos (ChaosLabyrinthos), we're in trouble now!" Shirou gritted his teeth.

Because Asterius was born as a monster in the body of Minotaur, Minos, who was helpless, ordered Daedalus, a skilled craftsman, to build a "labyrinth that is absolutely impossible to escape."

This is the original concept of the labyrinth. Perhaps this Noble Phantasm itself is not powerful, but for delaying time, there are probably few stronger ones than it.

"Damn it, there's nothing we can do. Let's try and see if we can destroy it!"

There are two ways to face the maze, one is to exit in a normal way, and the other is to refer to Uncle Yifangtong, who will tell you how to draw a straight line.

Raising his hand and firing Cero, a large area of the road in front of Shirou was cleared. But as soon as Shirou and others took the first step, the maze became a maze.

"I'm at my wits end, what can you two do?"

Shirou said that he was not worried anymore. If he was given time, he could indeed dismantle the maze all the way and finally dismantle the maze.

Unfortunately, they are in a hurry now.

"Sorry, Master. I'm not good at things like mazes. If it were Merlin... No, if it were that guy, he would probably say something like, 'Why don't you die early and be reincarnated to enjoy your next life?'"

Following Shirou, Arturia also expressed that she had no choice. She only learned swordsmanship from Merlin, but she didn't know the maze. If this was a food maze, she would be confident in taking Shirou out.
