Chapter 1454: Each of Confrontation

Mid-air, Astolfo, and Sieg rode on the Hippogriff together, while looking down at the floating garden below. Looking around, they were wondering whether they could find Haru, who had disappeared so suddenly.

However, even though both of them were quite worried about him, they didn't have time to think about him, at this moment since they needed to think about whether they could stay alive in this battle or not.

Behind the two of them, the ruins of the buildings were lying there, leaving a lot of debris and rubble.

Jeanne had told them to become her support, distraction, and backup, and Sieg and Astolfo really did that by moving around this floating garden, destroying various things in this place.

While riding on his Hippogriff, Astolfo noticed a lot of black shadows suddenly came out.

Dragon Tooth Warriors.

Astolfo and Sieg were familiar with those Dragon Tooth Warriors since they had seen how Semiramis summoned an army of Dragon Tooth Warriors in the previous battle, however, there was something different about those Dragon Tooth Warriors.

Unlike previously, these Dragon Tooth Warriors had the upper-halves of regular soldiers and lower halves of harpies with bird-like features, claws sharper than metal, and wings sprouting from their backs.

With those features, it was more suitable to call it Dragon Wing Warriors, rather than Dragon Tooth Warriors.

"Hippogriff!"

Under Astolfo's commands, the Hippogriff dashed back and forth like a bolt of lightning.

*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*

Those Dragon Wing Warriors were hit by a powerful lance one after another, exploding, leaving only a pile of bones scattered on the ground.

Astolfo then commanded his Hippogriff, moving various places, destroying the small fries who had surrounded him and his master, and destroyed various buildings in the floating garden.

Letting out a sigh, Astolfo said, "It'll be great if I have a powerful Noble Phantasm." After all, most of his Noble Phantasm wasn't that powerful, and even if there was a powerful one, it was a defensive type rather than an assault-type.

"I hope these damages can bring some trouble to this floating garden."

Sieg and Astolfo had made up their minds to rampage around this floating garden so they could give chance to Jeanne to retrieve the Holy Grail from the Amakusa Shirou.

Well, mostly, the one who gave the command was Sieg since Astolfo didn't have common sense, and once Astolfo was let out without order, then, without doubt, this guy would get lost within the floating garden.

On the other hand, even though Sieg didn't have much experience in battle, his determination was strong and he was very calm.

Compared to Astolfo, Sieg's concern for Haru was bigger, wondering what had happened to him.

"Why is the Red Faction kidnapping him?"

Sieg didn't understand the reason.

Astolfo laughed and said, "Maybe Semiramis, the one who owns this floating garden, is thirsty of him."

"Thirsty? What do you mean? How can Semiramis drink Kasugano-kun?" Sieg was confused.

Astolfo laughed even harder when he heard Sieg's question.

Seeing that Astolfo didn't explain it to him, Sieg continued to look around to see whether he could find Haru.

Even though Sieg and Haru didn't have that much of an interaction, he felt grateful toward him, because at the very beginning, in the entire Black Faction, except for the Jack the Ripper, who was out of control, only Haru who didn't use a homunculus as a magic power battery for his servant.

Otherwise, with Raikou's Magic Power consumption during the battle, not only most of the homunculus on the basecamp would be dried out and died, but even Sieg would also die because of how big Raikou's Magic Power consumption was.

So even if Sieg didn't have that much of an interaction with Haru, he felt grateful and unlike most people, who saw him and his companions differently, he could tell that Haru saw him like other human beings and never treated them differently.

It was the reason why Sieg had a good impression of Haru.

Sieg wanted to help Haru. Unfortunately, it was impossible.

"You two are troublesome."

With those words, an arrow that pierced the wind, moving very fast, aimed at the Hippogriff that was moving in the air.

"What?!"

Astolfo suddenly exclaimed!

Astolfo quickly tightened the reins, causing Hippogriff to let out a loud cry, stopping its figure so suddenly!

*Swoosh!*

The sharp arrow was missed and moved toward the distance sky, however, Astolfo and Sieg had a cold sweat, seeing how the Hippogriff was almost shot down by that arrow.

With such a powerful arrow, even Hippogriff was considered a phantasmal beast, once it was hit, everything would be over.

Astolfo felt a little frightened, and Sieg reacted quickly.

"Archer of Red?!"

In one of the ruins of those buildings below, Atalante was standing on top of it, aiming his bow and shooting an arrow.

"Unfortunately, my opponent isn't that man."

Atalanta looked at both Sieg and Astolfo with indifferent eyes. She didn't even put both of them in her eyes since the one that she felt was the most dangerous one would be Haru. In truth, she was a bit afraid to meet him since she felt that she might be swayed by his words.

However, at the same time, as a proud hero, Atalanta didn't want to lose to a normal human.

"Hey!"

Astolfo, who didn't even understand the tense atmosphere in this situation at all, looked at Atalanta who was aiming her bow toward them, and complained!

"That's dangerous! You can't shoot us so suddenly!"

"Is it dangerous?" Atalanta really looked down on Astolfo and said, "With this level of attack, that young man will charge toward me, and since you're his companions, then you should do the same and don't disappoint me."

Without waiting for them to get ready, Atalanta once again fired her arrow!

*Swoosh!*

Astolfo quickly commanded his mount to dodge.

Hippogriff let out a sharp cry and turned into a phantom, then rushed toward the direction of Atalante!

Then the Rider of Black and the Archer of Red started their battle!

On the other hand, Fiore and Caules also started to move, avoiding the poison which scattered around the floating garden.

Fiore didn't sit in her wheelchair but used her four giant magic-powered spider-like limbs to walk.

Caules stayed by Fiore's side, following his sister closely.

But, at this moment, both of them held their breath and looked surprised!

In front of them, Chiron, who was holding a bow and an arrow in his hands, also showed a solemn expression and looked toward the sky.

The demigod hero was driving his chariot which was pulled by three horses hovering in midair. He smiled and said, "Teacher, we meet again!"

Achilles looked at his teacher below, his usual frivolous expression had gone and been changed by an excited expression full of fighting spirit.

"Has your injury completely healed? As expected, the great sage who once taught the God of Medicine."

For Achilles, there was no better opponent than the man in front of him and he couldn't wait any longer to continue their duel.

Chiron only smiled and said, "As long as your attack didn't destroy my spiritual core. With my master's excellence, that kind of injury can be healed in about a day."

"Master?"

Achilles cast his gaze on Fiore and Caules.

"!!!"

Fiore and Caules stiffed their bodies.

"Hahaha!"

Achilles laughed very hard and said, "Don't worry, Magus! I won't attack you! In order to be able to surpass my former teacher, I will beat him upright in the fair duel! I won't make him lose the battle because he's worried about his master's safety! You can watch our duel there as a witness who will be the winner between us!" He was a warrior and he wouldn't use underhanded means.

"This time, the winner must be decided!"

Faced with the declaration of war by his previous disciple, Chiron just smiled back and also showed a fighting spirit that didn't lose to Achilles.

At the same time, Achilles' chariot moved, broke the speed of sound, and dived down!

Then the Archer of Black and Rider of Red started their battle!

At the same time, in a vast room, two more servants also encountered each other.

The sound of the water fountain splashing into the air before returning to the fountain was the only sound that could be heard in this place.

A burst of light particles suddenly gathered in front of the water fountain, looking at the figure who had entered this room.

Raikou took a deep breath, stared at the figure in front of her, without blinking her eyes.

"Have you come?"

Karna opened his eyes and looked at Raikou's figure.

The two eyes stared at each other, and a spark of fire and lightning collided with each other.

No words came out of their mouths.

'Dear... lend me your power.'

Raikou closed her eyes for a second before opening it once again, and the aura around her also turned into the aura of a warrior.

In the next moment, two servants smashed to the ground at the same time, charging toward their opponent!
