"A gate that could withstand five A-rank Anti-Army Noble Phantasms, reinforced with reflection spells that could bounce back Noble Phantasm attacks... Was there really any need to go that far? Given her personality, she shouldn't have needed to do this."
It was only the gate of a stronghold, yet it had been fortified to such an extent. Shen Fei could not help being greatly surprised. Combined with Sherlock Holmes's previous analysis of Queen Kriemhild, this did not seem like something she would do.
"Let me try first. If I can't do it, then you can make your move." Shen Fei stopped Roland just as he was preparing to break through the Retribution Gate. He did not know whether Roland could break through the specially reinforced gate, but one thing was certain: even if Roland could destroy it, he would likely pay with his life.
If there had been no other options, they might have had to do it that way. That was probably why Charlemagne, standing nearby, had not stopped him. But with Shen Fei here, there was naturally no need for Roland to sacrifice himself.
A gate that could withstand five A-rank Anti-Army Noble Phantasms and reflect attacks had already exceeded the limits of Roland's Noble Phantasm. In the original work, Roland had paid with his own existence to achieve a miracle, erasing himself from everyone's memories before breaking through the gate. That had undoubtedly been an enormous sacrifice.
But for Shen Fei, breaking the Retribution Gate did not require such a price. He only needed to attack it with a Noble Phantasm that exceeded its limits. Among those present, only he and Charlemagne possessed that kind of power. Charlemagne's Noble Phantasm undoubtedly ranked among the foremost of all Heroic Spirits' Noble Phantasms.
