And once again, he fell into the hands of Marx and Engels, or rather, into their guns.
Thinking about this, Iskandar felt even more damned.
It should be noted that his feat of conquering the 'world' relied on the Macedonian long spear. When the spear formation was set up, countless cavalrymen died on the spot with regret. It was an invincible weapon.
Unexpectedly, he himself, who arrived in the Holy Grail War as a Rider, suffered losses from spears twice.
···
This is absolutely outrageous!
Seeing his injuries multiply and his life hanging by a thread several times, Iskandar knew that things couldn't continue like this.
He played his last trump card!
"You forced me to this! Die!!!"
Iskandar suddenly roared, instantly putting everyone on alert, and their movements paused slightly.
Taking advantage of this opening, Iskandar waved his hand and shouted, "The King's Army—IonioiHetairoi!"
In an instant, Iskandar, along with eight others including Marn, vanished, as did the corrupted army charging on the other side.
The scene shifts to a scorching sun radiating heat waves, with sandstorms sweeping across the landscape. Bloodstained limbs and corpses lie scattered on the ground, the sandstorms whipping up nauseating stench.
..
This is Iskandar's Noble Phantasm, Reality Marble: Momentum. However, unlike the previous one, this place now resembles the aftermath of a fierce battle.
Marne and his men appeared on this battlefield, facing off against Iskandar's entire corrupted army.
"Hehe, didn't expect that, did you? I can unleash this Noble Phantasm again."
Iskandar grinned as he looked at the eight lone figures opposite him, backed by an army of 30,000, which gave him renewed confidence.
"Before my mighty army, despair! Charge! Be trampled upon! Hahaha!"
In reality, the sudden disappearance of the army left everyone bewildered, whether it was the blocking forces or the artillery on the city walls.
Gerald frowned: "It should be the inherent barrier that was conquered according to the intelligence. This is troublesome. Facing that army of 30,000 alone, I don't know if Lord Maren and his men can handle it."
As he was speaking, he saw Aozaki Touko calmly lighting a cigarette and taking a break.
She couldn't help but wonder, "Miss Aozaki, you don't seem worried at all."
Aozaki Touko puffed on her cigarette with a relaxed expression, shrugged, and said, "Of course, that Conqueror King was just grasping at straws in his desperation, thinking that doing this would benefit him, but he forgot what kind of monsters he would unleash."
"A monster?" Erton looked completely bewildered.
Within the inherent barrier.
Looking at Iskandar's smug face, Maen slowly stepped forward and said speechlessly, "That's it? This is your last resort? Iskandar, have you forgotten something?"
Nine.
Chapter 135 Marx and Engels's Playful Tricks, and the Frightened Crowd
Looking at Iskandar, who had a "I won" expression on his face, he saw...
Although he really didn't want to show off, Ma En still stepped forward and came to the front of the crowd.
"Conqueror King, is this your last resort? Have you forgotten something? Should I help you remember?"
"Haha... Uh!"
The grotesque laugh was abruptly cut off, as if someone had grabbed his throat.
Iskandar looked at Marne with a look of surprise and uncertainty, then at his surroundings and the army behind him, and at the distance between the two sides.
Vivid memories from the past flooded my mind, and I broke out in a cold sweat.
He hurriedly waved his hand and shouted, "Charge! Warriors! Charge! We must get there before he makes a move!"
The group, whose hearts had sank at the sudden arrival of the army and the disappearance of their allies, were utterly bewildered when they saw Iskandar suddenly panicking.
Only Tokiomi Tohsaka, who knew the truth, reacted: "I remember, it was Maru-kun and His Majesty Nero who eliminated Iskandar before, and they also encountered this Reality Marble back then."
Nero, who remained calm throughout, nodded to her mother, Gilgamesh, and Nero added a comment.
"To be precise, it was the musician who single-handedly dealt with the opposing army. I only managed to kill Iskandar at the end. The musician has many powerful moves that he only dares to use within this kind of bounded field."
Niang Shanshan then mercilessly criticized, "That bastard is truly beyond saving. He actually thought he could do something with just a mere Reality Marble. This kind of thing isn't even worth a single chop from my Ea."
"..."
Everyone: Awesome, okay! Yes, he even bragged while insulting others.
……
Looking at the rapidly approaching army, Ma En shook his head helplessly.
"Did you think my methods were so ineffective because I resolved things too quickly before? Well then, this time I'll play along with you properly."
Marx and Engels raised a gun and aimed it at the army.
Upon seeing this familiar scene, Iskandar's heart sank once more, and he shouted, "Alert!"
'Effect construction, data modeling, concept locking: Definition: Push, Power:, Range: X3, Speed:, Construction! Begin!'
Ma En silently communicated with the fantasy construction in his mind, inputting the desired result. After finishing, a mysterious feeling surged into his heart, a signal that the fantasy construction was successful. He then murmured, "Spicy Heavenly Conquest (Shinra Tensei)!"
Buzz~!
An invisible repulsive force was brewing in Marx and Engels' hands, and then it suddenly burst forth!
Boom! ! !
Wherever the repulsive force passed, the earth shook and the land churned up, the desert was directly leveled by the terrifying repulsive force.
The repulsive force, carrying with it swirling dust, rapidly swept towards the army.
"Get out of the way!" Skandar shouted.
But just like last time, and even more so this time, not only was the speed too fast, but the range was also ridiculously large, covering a radius of one kilometer around the army, leaving them with no way to avoid it!
Boom! ! !
"Wow!!" XN
The 30,000-strong army was directly pushed and squeezed together by a repulsive force, layer upon layer of compression.
Not only were they dazed and confused by the head-on collision, but the people behind them also kept crashing into the people in front, resulting in double damage. The damage was compounded by the latter, with the person further in front suffering the greater the injury.
This wave killed at least six or seven thousand people. Some cannon fodder were crushed on the spot by the terrifying pressure, and the rest, even if they were still intact, had already died. Only a few with strong attributes were able to survive in the front area.
However, this was not the end of it. Before they could recover, Marn struck again.
'Material construction, data modeling, concept locking: effect addition, definition: release, individual size: KG, total size:, range: sector, distance 5, speed:, construction! Begin!'
"Meteor volcano!"
Bang! ! !
Massive amounts of lava erupted from Marx's hands, scattering in the air and forming raindrops the size of a person's embrace. Like a torrential downpour, they fell precisely into a crowd three kilometers away.
"what!!!"
Before the corrupted army could react, they were drenched in scalding lava and pierced through to the core.
The terrifying temperature of the lava rapidly scorched the bodies of the corrupted army. They barely screamed before being charred in the blink of an eye. The lava mercilessly flowed through the gaps in the pile of people, seeping in and continuing to scorch the corrupted army below.
This wave wiped out half of the corrupted army, leaving only about 10,000 survivors who were shielded by their superiors.
'Effect construction, data modeling, concept locking: Definition: Scattered, Power: Degree, Range: X5, Speed: , Construction! Begin!'
"Ice Age!"
Click!
The area in front of Ma En froze solid, and the temperature plummeted to minus two hundred degrees Celsius. The ice spread rapidly in a fan shape of forty degrees Celsius for five kilometers, freezing the corrupted army within.
This time, there were no more screams, because the corrupted army didn't even have time to scream before they were frozen into ice sculptures.
'Effect construction, data modeling, concept locking: Definition: Continued coverage, Material replacement: —Laser, Effect addition: KG explosive equivalent, Power: Rainstorm, Range: X2, Velocity: Hertz, Construction! Begin!'
"Eight-foot beautiful magatama!"
A flash of light, and countless tiny laser beams fell from the sky, precisely covering the area where the corrupted army had already turned into ice sculptures.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom!
The explosions were continuous; compared to the cannons of the Fuyuki Defense Line and the magic cannons unleashed by Nero's Noble Phantasm, this was a true barrage of artillery fire.
The relentless rain of lasers bombarded the two-kilometer-long and wide area again and again, plowing the ground over and over.
The setup has been set, and unless Marne wants to stop it, or unless Marne is killed, this 0.9 laser rain will continue until the scheduled mission is completed.
"Gulu~!"
He heard a swallowing sound behind him. When Ma En turned around, he saw that apart from Nero and Gilgamesh, whom he had already met, everyone else was looking at him as if he were some kind of monster.
The Servant was alright; after all, he was a Heroic Spirit and had seen a lot, so he was only slightly frightened.
The three magicians were terrified by the terrifying power of the attack, especially Kenneth, who, as the highest-ranking magician present, realized that this was something magic could not possibly achieve.
While some grand magic tricks that utilize ancient secrets can achieve this scale, scale does not equate to lethality.
Kenneth had never even heard of a direct kill scale so terrifying.
Chapter 136 Morax? Morax?!
After all, magic isn't just about combat; there's a whole host of other kinds of magic.
The magic tricks studied by various magic families are mostly imaginative ideas, used to achieve their own goals, but there are very few that specialize in combat.
In addition, battles between magicians are never large-scale, so the scale of battles is limited. Naturally, no one studies large-scale battle magic, and apart from what is passed down in family traditions, few people learn it.
Naturally, they have become increasingly rare, so rare that even Kenneth, a high-ranking magician, has never heard of many.
Of course, it can't be said that there aren't any.
Due to the principle of secrecy and the need to maintain an air of mystery, most magic families prefer to pass on their magic to a single lineage, minimizing the number of people who know about their magic, let alone publicize it.
The more people know about it, the less mysterious it becomes, and the less powerful the magic becomes.
Tokiomi Tohsaka also considered adopting one of his daughters for part of this reason.
