Crossover Anime: I, Shirou Kotomine, King of Uruk

Chapter 187 Frankenstein is the first to fall.

Chapter 188 Frankenstein is the first to fall.

A terrifying explosion has already occurred.

The flames, intent on engulfing everything, rapidly spread outwards.

At the same time, the storm, intense light, and heat spread outwards with incredible speed.

In this situation, all the Servants affected were retreating.

Even the Servants dared not withstand this attack head-on.

The three Servants who were originally at the center of the explosion are now running rapidly towards the outside.

Atalanta was running at the very front.

As a member of the Red Team, she knew the battle plan in advance and naturally wouldn't put herself in danger. She had already retreated before Spartacus even escaped.

After all, she is a marksman.

Spartacus was able to explode so quickly partly because she repeatedly unleashed her wide-range Noble Phantasms, attacking indiscriminately.

Therefore, she was quite familiar with the progress of Spartacus's explosion.

Closely following Atalanta, and even about to overtake her, was Astolfo.

At this moment, he was riding the eagle, with Frankenstein on his back.

He had noticed this possibility before the Spartacus explosion.

After all, Spartacus was incredibly bloated back then.

At that time, his posture could be described as that of a giant of flesh.

This shows just how much magic power Spartacus had accumulated within him at that time.

Based on his judgment, he immediately summoned his mount, the eagle, and carried Frankenstein away at high speed.

Without his judgment, Frankenstein would definitely have died here.

After all, as a berserker, she doesn't have much rationality.

Let alone making a judgment.

Fortunately, she was joined by the kind-hearted Astolfo.

The three, who were originally enemies fighting each other, were now quickly moving away from the ultimate explosion behind them.

They didn't want to die in the explosion.

That would be far too humiliating for a Servant.

But Atalanta and Astolfo never expected that what lay before them was not a path to escape, but a deathmatch arena.

Atalanta and Astolfo, who were running at full speed, suddenly felt themselves enveloped in a thick fog, which grew denser and denser.

The two of them immediately paused upon seeing this situation.

They realized that they had plunged headlong into the territory that the other side was establishing.

"This is bad!"

Upon entering the thick fog, Atalanta and Astolfo stopped in their tracks to avoid venturing deeper into the fog.

Atalanta stepped back to the side, distancing herself from Astolfo and Frankenstein to avoid being surrounded.

Atalanta knew very well that there were no enemies in their camp who were adept at using fog.

This is undoubtedly a tactic employed by the Black faction's followers.

Based on her understanding of the battlefield intelligence, the only one who hasn't appeared yet is the Black team's Assassin, and this is further enhanced by the fog that conceals his figure.

Who else could this be but a follower of the Black faction?

"Wait, this isn't on our side!"

Seeing Atalanta distance herself from him, Astolfo immediately began to explain.

"This guy may be an Assassin for the Black Faction, but he's betrayed them; he's our enemy now!"

"Why are you explaining all this to me?"

Atalanta breathed a sigh of relief at Astolfo's words.

But she couldn't quite understand Astolfo's actions.

After all, no matter how you look at it, it's her who's declining now.

If the newcomer is a Servant from the Black faction, she will be fighting three against one, which is an extremely dangerous situation for Atalanta.

If the newcomer is not a follower of the Black faction, then it is merely a three-way battle of one against two, in which case the Black faction still has the advantage.

As for the possibility that the newcomer is a follower of the Red team?

That's absolutely not true.

Atalanta has no intention of allying with those who have betrayed the Black Faction.

Anyone capable of doing something like this is definitely not a rational person.

Atalanta was tired of working with people who had problems with their heads.

Moreover, she was an archer, and the other side's assassin.

They are all classes that are not good at close combat, so who will be in the front line?

Surely we can't do that?

"Huh? Yeah, what am I supposed to explain?"

Astolfo felt a little strange when Atalanta asked him the question.

But he quickly put the matter out of his mind.

If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it.

Astolfo's personality was characterized by his impulsiveness.

Atalanta couldn't help but roll her eyes at Astolfo's performance. Why were there so many Servants with abnormal minds?

Atalanta was helpless.

However, Atalanta did not devote much energy to this matter.

She quickly turned her attention to her surroundings.

That is, this thick fog.

"The black team's Assassin? Why choose to launch an attack at this time, especially after he chose to defect from the black team's lineup?"

"How dare he attack all three of us at once without any help?"

"Is he really not right in the head? Or is his target one of the three of us?"

Atalanta analyzed the current situation.

But then Shirou Kotomine's voice suddenly rang out, denying her guess.

"No!"

"There's nothing wrong with my head, and my target isn't just one of you."

"I will defeat all three of you by myself."

Kotomine Shirou said with a smile.

His amused voice reached the ears of Atalanta and the other two, causing them to frown involuntarily.

For an Assassin to fight three opponents alone is just too disrespectful.

Faced with such arrogant remarks, even Astolfo, who always had a smile on his face, lost his smile.

But Shirou Kotomine didn't care at all.

With a smile at the three people in front of him, Shirou Kotomine vanished from his spot.

Only a fading afterimage remains, confirming that Shirou Kotomine was indeed standing there.

This is a symbol of exceptional speed.

Faced with this scene, Atalanta and her two companions immediately felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Astolfo is also on high alert.

But the next moment, Shirou Kotomine appeared in his sight.

The two were now only inches apart.

"not good!"

Faced with Shirou Kotomine's sudden appearance, Astolfo, struggling to react, reflexively leaped backward and held his lance horizontally in front of his chest to guard against a fatal attack aimed at his heart.

However, Shirou Kotomine did not attack Astolfo's vital points.

Or rather, after seeing Astolfo's defensive move, Shirou Kotomine changed his offensive strategy.

Kotomine Shirou delivered a direct knee strike.

The powerful legs, combined with the strength of the whole body, lifted Astolfo's body into the air.

Kotomine Shirou twisted his body, and his knee strike quickly turned into a whip kick.

With a whooshing sound, Astolfo's body was immediately sent flying and slammed heavily into the ground.

And all of this happened in the blink of an eye.

But this is only the beginning.

The moment Astolfo was kicked out, the hammer wielding lightning slammed down towards Kotomine Shirou.

The attack was launched by the berserker Frankenstein.

The moment Shirou Kotomine appeared before Astolfo, she had already swung the hammer in her hand.

But Shirou Kotomine's speed was just too fast.

Her attack had only just arrived after Astolfo was kicked away.

"clang!"

Faced with the iron hammer crackling with lightning, Shirou Kotomine immediately raised his arm.

Shirou Kotomine used his heavily reinforced arm as a shield to block Frankenstein's hammer.

At the same time, several commonly used physical black keys were projected into Shirou Kotomine's other hand.

After being enhanced by the magic, these black keys became incredibly sharp.

Just as they were ready, they were thrown out by Shirou Kotomine and shot at Atalanta, who had raised her bow and arrow.

The instant Astolfo was attacked, Atalanta couldn't help but raise her bow and arrow, aiming at Shirou Kotomine's position.

Since he was going to fight three against one, Kotomine Shirou naturally wouldn't let his guard down against any of the three.

At the same time, they launched an attack on the three of them to confuse them.

Then quickly eliminate one person; this is Shirou Kotomine's battle tactic.

This is also the most correct tactic when fighting against multiple opponents.

And the person that Shirou Kotomine chose was Frankenstein.

As a berserker, Frankenstein's melee abilities are pretty good, but that's about it.

However, Shirou Kotomine remembers that she seems to possess a rather dangerous Noble Phantasm.

Therefore, Shirou Kotomine is prepared to deal with her first.

Of course, the most important thing is that Frankenstein fits Shirou Kotomine's goal perfectly; he is someone who can be killed quickly.

Atalanta immediately dodged to the side when faced with the black key shot by Shirou Kotomine.

In that instant, she lost her threat to Shirou Kotomine.

Astolfo hadn't even landed yet at that moment.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

Battles between Servants have always been like this; victory or defeat can be decided in the blink of an eye.

Just like it is now.

Although it was only for a brief moment, Shirou Kotomine got the chance to face one person directly.

And that person was none other than Frankenstein, who was to Shirou Kotomine's right and had struck Shirou's arm with a hammer.

At this moment, Shirou Kotomine's right arm was broken.

Although Shirou Kotomine's arm has undergone multiple enhancements, it's quite normal for it to be broken in the face of such an attack.

Despite his broken arm, Shirou Kotomine's face remained completely expressionless.

It felt as if the severed arm wasn't even his own.

But it is true.

Pain no longer has much effect on Shirou Kotomine.

For him, the most important thing right now is the fight.

It refers to the number of enemy units eliminated.

and so!

"Let me test your deadly move, Jack the Ripper!"

Intense magical energy coalesced into the four daggers that suddenly appeared in Shirou Kotomine's left hand and swiftly transformed into a curse.

As Shirou Kotomine hurled the dagger at Frankenstein, the power of the curse swiftly pierced her chest.

This is Jack the Ripper's Noble Phantasm, the Mother of Disintegration.

This Noble Phantasm is usually shaped like four Rank D daggers.

When the conditions for activating the Noble Phantasm are met, these four daggers will be imbued with the resentment of "the children who could not even become prostitutes, who were supposedly killed and abandoned by as many as 80,000 prostitutes in the slums of London at the time, under the pretext of making a living." This will allow them to exert a vicious effect.

There are three conditions for activating this Noble Phantasm.

They are: "the time of day is night", "the other party is female (or female)", and "there is fog".

If you use the Noble Phantasm when all the conditions are met, it will pull out the target's internal organs, turning them into a dissected corpse.

However, if the conditions are not met, it can only inflict simple damage. But in this case, the power will increase with each condition that is met.

This is Jack the Ripper's Noble Phantasm.

It can be considered a powerful weapon when dealing with women.

Because this attack is not a direct attack, but rather a curse-like attack, ordinary defenses are completely useless.

Unless the other party has very strong curse resistance.

Of the four daggers shot by Shirou Kotomine, two struck Frankenstein in the chest, and two were embedded in the hammer in his hand.

The next moment, the four daggers connected to the curse returned swiftly.

Along with that came Frankenstein's heart.

Something happened that surprised Shirou Kotomine.

Frankenstein, who was hit by "Disintegration Mother", did not die immediately. Instead, he quickly jumped over and hugged Shirou Kotomine.

But Shirou Kotomine showed no embarrassment whatsoever.

Because Frankenstein, who was holding him, activated his Noble Phantasm in a hoarse voice.

"The Thunder Tree of Crucifixion!"

Endless lightning surged from Frankenstein's body.

And Kotomine Shirou, whom she was holding, was undoubtedly right in the center of this Noble Phantasm.

Holding Frankenstein tightly, Shirou Kotomine was unable to break free from her strength.

However, Shirou Kotomine didn't struggle much.

He was thinking at that moment.

"I see. Frankenstein doesn't have a heart inside her body. Her heart is inside her weapon, and she doesn't have a heart inside her body normally."

"So although I tore out her heart by disintegrating the Virgin Mary, I couldn't kill her with it, which gave her a chance to fight back."

"Really, no Servant should be underestimated!"

The endless lightning coalesced into a lightning tree, and at the very center of the lightning, Shirou Kotomine was being ravaged by it.

But at this moment, Shirou Kotomine was silently reflecting on his mistakes.

It seemed as if this treasure could not cause him any harm.

And that is indeed the case.

"Not bad, but you can't defeat me with such methods alone, Frankenstein."

Just as the power of this Noble Phantasm was about to reach a point where Kotomine Shirou's body could no longer withstand it, Kotomine Shirou's body suddenly disappeared.

Frankenstein, who was originally holding Shirou Kotomine, fell to the ground.

At this moment, she was all alone under the thunder tree.

Goodbye, Frankenstein!

Outside the Thunder Tree, Shirou Kotomine, now free from Frankenstein's control, slowly walked forward.

His injuries were rapidly healing as he moved forward.

The reversal technique is being activated at full power.

Very quickly, all the injuries, from the lightning burns on his body to the broken arm, disappeared from Kotomine Shirou's body.

Only the unharmed Kotomine Shirou remained, enveloped in the thick fog.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

But at this point, only two of the three Servants remained, and the battle had only just begun!
