Zongman: Evolution Paradise Chapter 175

When the lingering attack of Excalibur, shaped like a brilliant cross, faded, the outcome was beyond doubt.

Whether in legend or great deeds, Saber was among the strongest of Heroic Spirits.

How could the glory of a mortal kingdom compare to Britain at the end of the Age of Gods?

The Noble Phantasm shield remained unbroken, but behind it, the two Steve Rogers who chose to face Fate’s primary poster girl were almost annihilated.

The Saber class in the Fate world wasn’t just a character who swung swords wildly.

Aside from a certain gatekeeper, Sasaki Kojirou, directly unleashing light cannons with a sword was the basic rhythm.

Perhaps Steve Rogers could have blocked pure physical attacks with the legendary nature of his Noble Phantasm, but against Excalibur’s city-destroying light cannon, he had no defense.

“That really hurt!”

“This is the moment for the New American President to appear!”

“Can four of us beat them?”

“I don’t know, I don’t want to die a third time.”

Beneath the leveled earth, the shadow of Hydra grew increasingly vast, and within it, the whispered conversations of four Steve Rogers could be heard.

“Cut off one head, and two more shall take its place!” x 4

As the Noble Phantasm was unleashed, the Hydra from hell roared once more, and four shield-wielding Steve Rogers appeared at the center of the explosion.

A Noble Phantasm representing defense couldn’t stop Excalibur’s power, but so what if they died? Steve Rogers had perfectly integrated all of Hydra’s deeds and legends. The Noble Phantasm representing Hydra was a product that blasphemed the goddess of death.

Moreover, because their number reached four, they were no longer outnumbered. The unique skill, “Fifty-Fifty,” also began to take effect, and Steve Rogers’ agility had leaped from Rank B to Rank A.

When Xu Lun used a Command Seal to unseal Black Flash, this skill had already descended upon Medusa.

Black lightning coiled around Medusa’s fingertips, extending all the way down the chain-scythe.

Black Flash was a unique technique from Jujutsu Kaisen, difficult even for Jujutsu Sorcerers who mastered cursed energy to pull off. But Medusa was a Greek mythological figure; as long as a Command Seal granted Medusa the ability to use Black Flash, how to release it afterward was no longer a concern.

Feeling the special power bestowed by her Master, Medusa swung her chain-scythe, charging towards Steve Rogers alongside Saber.

“Saber, create an opening for me.”

“Understood.”

Saber naturally knew Medusa’s identity. In the legend of that demon god, there was a power called the Mystical Eyes of Petrification.

Since Saber’s Excalibur couldn’t kill Captain Hydra, petrifying and sealing him would be a good alternative.

Clashing blades, sparks flew.

Medusa’s chain-scythe was as nimble as a viper, each swing accompanied by a sharp whoosh of wind.

After just a few clashes, Medusa realized Steve Rogers’ agility had increased. The lower half of her face beneath her blindfold was calm as water, ready to open her eyes for the first time in Fuyuki City.

Saber, fighting alongside her, displayed unparalleled swordsmanship. Her sword was as swift as a gale, and with the invisible effect of Invisible Air, every strike precisely shattered the coordination of the four Captain Hydras.

Tapping her foot on a flying shield, the chain-scythe darted forward like a viper’s head, striking straight towards Steve Rogers.

The opponent paid no mind, as another Steve Rogers had already appeared before him, raising his shield, ready for defense.

Medusa likewise paid no mind, for the Black Flash icon on Xu Lun’s player panel was glowing brightly.

“When physical force and cursed energy burst forth with a 0.00001-second delay, it will generate 2.5 times the critical damage. This is how Black Flash is used.”

“Applied to you, it’s probably the intertwining of strength and magic, right?”

“It does sound a bit abstract, but the Paradise will make you understand.”

Xu Lun’s words from last night, introducing Black Flash to her, echoed in her mind. When she felt Xu Lun unseal Black Flash and give it to her, Medusa’s heart tightened, fearing she wouldn’t be able to do it.

“Disappointing the Master is not what a Servant should do.”

At this moment, Medusa felt it: the power and magic in her body surged. Medusa instantly understood the existence and usage of Black Flash.

And the moment to release it was now!

“Black Flash!”

Purple-black lightning flickered on Medusa’s chain-scythe, striking the air and then becoming invisible.

Effect – Lv 10 – Invisible: Before hitting the enemy, the Black Flash you unleash is indistinguishable from a normal punch.

This was Xu Lun’s Black Flash skill’s effect – Invisible, which could eliminate the visual and auditory impact of Black Flash’s release. Otherwise, with the energy brewing in that chain-scythe, any enemy would know they had to dodge.

Through mythical-level techniques, Medusa directly gathered the Black Flash, which mortal Jujutsu Sorcerers used on their fists, onto her weapon. The Noble Phantasm-level chain-scythe vibrated intensely under the terrifying energy.

Saber’s A-rank Instinct sensed a strong feeling of danger. She sliced open the two Steve Rogers entangled with her and immediately retreated.

Steve Rogers, however, lacked such powerful senses. Just like in their previous confrontation, he held his shield, blocking the chain-scythe.

The moment the Vibranium shield touched the chain-scythe, purple-black electric light distorted the surroundings, and space shattered like a broken mirror.

Sound waves beyond the range of normal human hearing spread outwards, and the Vibranium shield, capable of absorbing kinetic energy, also shattered under the spatial distortion.

“What in the world?”

Steve Rogers asked in disbelief.

Not only did the Vibranium shield shatter, but his right hand holding the shield, along with half of his body, directly turned to dust under that Black Flash.

“…Black Flash.”

Answering with the name of the technique, Medusa immediately unleashed Self-Sealing: Dark Temple, seizing the moment while the other three Steve Rogers were still stunned!

When her blindfold vanished, her beautiful purple eyes opened for the first time in this world.

“Mystical Eyes of Petrification!”

In just an instant, as the sole spectator, the remaining half of Steve Rogers’ body turned into a horrified stone statue.

Unfortunately, petrifying one Steve Rogers was Medusa’s limit, not only due to the intense consumption of releasing her Mystic Eyes as a Rider-class Servant, but also because the other three Steve Rogers wouldn’t be so easily captured.

“Don’t look at her eyes!”

“Medusa’s Heroic Spirit Legend!”

“The President’s Absolute Justice!”

Directly shattering the petrifying body parts caused by eye contact, Hydra’s divinity made Steve Rogers’ healing speed extremely fast.

Closing their eyes, their combat experience led the three Steve Rogers to immediately unleash their Noble Phantasms again.
