Fate: the Strongest Master Designated by the Crown

　　Hearing this, Matthew nodded happily.

　　"Yes, senior!"

　　Matthew looked at the pitch-black war elephant that was colliding fiercely, and held up his shield without the slightest fear!

　　And Ye Li was standing behind her with her eyes closed, and concentrated on activating the magic [Smelting and Creation] in her mind, quickly constructing something...

　　the other side……

　　"Pfft! Kacha!"

　　With one sword after another, Arturia continued to chop down the corpses and skeleton soldiers that rushed up. With no cover, there was no time or opportunity to release her own treasures now.

　　"hold head high--!!"

　　The pitch-black war elephant roared and slammed into Matthew's shield once again!

　　Ma Xiu's body sank, and her feet stepped back a little, but when she thought that Ye Li was behind her, she gritted her teeth and pushed forward hard, blocking the terrifying collision of the pitch-black war elephant!

　　And the pitch-black war elephant seemed to be unwilling to admit defeat, holding on to Mash's shield, trying hard to knock her away!

　　"hold head high--!!"

　　"Well."

　　Matthew gritted his teeth, holding back his strength!But in terms of strength, she still lost, and she couldn't help but step back little by little, but she didn't give up.

　　A little, even if it is just a little, she has to buy a little time for Ye Liduo!

　　After that, the magic power fluctuations in Ye Li gradually became stronger...

　　"Uuuuuuuuuuh-!!"

　　On the back of the pitch-black war elephant, Darius III opened his mouth and roared. After he looked at Mash, his eyes shifted slightly, and he stared at Ye Li who was preparing to do something behind her.He seemed to feel some kind of threat to his behavior. He swung the battle axe in his right hand and suddenly threw it at Ye Li!

　　"what!"

　　Matthew was shocked!

　　But the pitch-black war elephant was slamming into her shield with force. If she pulled away to block her head and slashed at Ye Li's battle axe, she would undoubtedly be knocked off the next moment.But if she doesn't stop her, Ye Li behind her will——

　　In this case, after being surprised, Matthew didn't even think for half a second. He leaned back and jumped back as if subconsciously, disregarding his own efforts to block the battle axe thrown by Darius III for Ye Li. !

　　The battle axe was blocked, but the next moment——

　　"hold head high--!!"

　　The pitch-black war elephant roared and slammed into Matthew who was in the air!

　　"Bam—!!"

　　Although she was blocked by a shield and did not directly hit Matthew's body, under the terrifying impact of the pitch-black war elephant, her whole body instantly flew backwards!

　　And at the moment when Matthew almost brushed his body and flew out from the side, Ye Li suddenly opened his eyes!

　　When the corner of his eye caught Mash who was knocked away, time seemed to stand still at this moment, and his whole person couldn't help being stunned!

　　On the opposite side, the pitch-black war elephant did not stop after hitting Mashiu, and continued to hit Ye Li straight, but...

　　The magic power on Ye Li's body fluctuated and became violent in vain. He stared at the pitch-black war elephant in front of him. His eyes were terrifyingly cold at the moment. The dazzling brilliance bloomed, and in an instant, Darius III, who was riding a pitch-black war elephant, was shrouded in it!

　　Then, in the next instant—

　　"Bang——!!"

　　A huge bell-ringing sound rang out, and an invisible ring of energy ripples swept the atmosphere, scraping up the dust and gravel on the ground, and the impact spread around!

　　I saw that the radiance dimmed, and in front of Ye Li, a huge bronze-colored ancient bell appeared! !

　　The shape of the ancient bell is simple and ordinary, and the only characteristic is that it is... big!

　　It was big enough to cover the entirety of Darius III, who was riding a pitch-black war elephant! !

Chapter 496 Darius III Exits the Stage

　　"Uoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

　　"hold head high--!!"

　　The roar of Darius III and the pitch-black war elephant rang out through the huge ancient bronze bell, and then——

　　"Bang bang bang bang bang bang——!!"

　　The ancient bronze bell trembled violently, and the harsh slashing and slamming sounds continued to resound, causing the ancient bell to start to rub against the ground and move!

　　Ye Li stretched out his hand and pressed it on the ancient bronze bell at this time. While blocking its movement, he injected magic power into the ancient bell to increase its toughness.

　　This ancient bell was created by Ye Li using the magic [Smelting and Creation].

　　Because of time and other issues... In addition to the high degree of solidity, there is no ability effect, but it is just to limit Darius III from fighting the elephant, and this is enough.

　　"Mash, it's okay- are you-!?"

　　Ye Li turned back, looked at Matthew who was knocked away, and shouted in a hurry.

　　Matthew got up from the ground. Although he suffered some injuries, he didn't seem to be in serious trouble.

　　"Well... I'm fine, senior."

　　Seeing this, Ye Li breathed a sigh of relief, and now, although he really wanted to, he didn't have time to take care of Matthew, and glanced at the ancient bronze bell that shook violently...

　　"Crack-!"

　　A crack suddenly appeared on the surface of the ancient clock!

　　Ye Li's eyes narrowed, after all, it was in a hurry, and the horror could not last long.He quickly turned his head to look at Arturia, and saw that she was unable to release the treasure under the influence of the living corpse and skeleton soldiers, and immediately raised his other hand and pointed at her...

　　"Om-!!"

　　The magic power fluctuated and rose, one, two...seven, eight, nine...nine dazzling blue magic circles were constructed one by one in front of Ye Li's palm that stretched towards Artoria, as if they were built Like a wall of light.

　　"Crackling--!!"

　　Lightning gathered in the magic circle, one after another, releasing violent and fluctuating lightning balls in the center of the formation.

　　next moment--

　　"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa-!!"

　　Fist-sized lightning bombs, like raindrops, bombarded Artoria frantically!

　　Magic 'Magic Bullet', Thunderbolt Improved 'Lightning Bullet'!

　　Because living corpses and skeleton soldiers can't be killed at all, Ye Li didn't waste his magic power, and raised the 'magic bullet' to the level of 'magic cannon', but just repelled them, covered Arturia, and released Noble Phantasms for him. If you buy time, the 'magic bullet' will suffice.

　　"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang-!!"

　　The sky filled with lightning bombs poured down, and in a series of intensive bombardment, the living corpses and skeleton soldiers pouring up around Artoria were blasted and smashed one by one...

　　"Saber, release the Noble Phantasm."

　　Ye Li's voice sounded in his ears, Arturia looked towards him, without any stagnation or hesitation, he held up the 'Sword of Vowed Victory' with both hands, and the powerful magic fluctuations that were almost substantive immediately rose into the sky!

　　"Bang bang bang bang bang bang——!!"

　　"Crack clap clap-!!"

　　Inside, Darius III slashed like a hurricane, and on the surface of the ancient bronze bell, cracks opened one after another, becoming more and more dense...

　　"ah!"

　　At this moment, Matthew was already rushing back, and when Ye Li was creating a chance for Saber to release the Noble Phantasm, he covered him and knocked all the corpses and skeleton soldiers that kept rushing up!

　　"Huhuhu——!!"

　　Magical power so strong that it forms a substantial mist, enveloped Arturia like a storm.

　　""pledge--"

　　The 'Sword of Promised Victory' clenched in both hands by Arturia slightly raised it backwards.

　　Then, in the next instant—

　　"—Sword of Victory (Excalibur)—!!"

　　As the real name resounded, Artoria cut down the sword without hesitation!

　　A jet-black light that ripped apart the earth and devoured everything, and even light could not escape, burst into Darius III, who was trapped in the ancient bronze bell and had not yet come out!

　　On the other side, just before Artoria called out the Noble Phantasm's true name and slashed the 'Sword of Promised Victory'——

　　"Matthew, go back!"

　　Ye Li greeted Matthew, and without hesitation, the surface was covered with a lot of cracks, and next to the ancient bronze bell that was about to be broken, he stepped on the ground and burst back!

　　Then, at the same time that Artoria unleashed her attack—

　　Ye Li stared at the ancient bronze bell and gave a low drink.

　　"burst!"

　　Immediately, the ancient bronze bell, which was already full of scars, burst open.But then, before the shards splattered, the dark light devoured them all!

　　"boom--!!"

　　A huge roar resounded through the sky——

　　And after being hit by Arturia's Noble Phantasm head on, its light has not disappeared, Ye Li thought of a reminder sound in his head, which made him feel relieved.

　　"Servant Arturia Pendragon destroyed the servant Darius III, and the master Yeli received 10000 reward points."

　　With the system's affirmation, Ye Li naturally breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, and sure enough, those living corpses and skeleton soldiers began to disappear in large numbers...

　　"Successful. Senior, hard work."

　　Matthew happily ran towards Ye Li.

　　"Yeah." Ye Li nodded, but then...

　　"But." His tone changed, he said sternly.

　　"I didn't obey the order just now and acted without authorization, but I won't just forget about it. Be prepared to accept punishment later."

　　"Well, yes. I'm sorry, senior."

　　Matthew bowed his head apologetically.Although she didn't think she did anything wrong, she did disobey Ye Li's orders.Servants who do not obey the Master's orders are undoubtedly dangerous.
