The two returned to the battle, but it had no effect on them.
With the support of the Mar-En space manipulation, the group is still in the exploratory stage.
Those with ranged attacks need no further explanation; just bombard them and provide occasional support to the melee frontline.
The front row launched probing attacks on the Cthulhu monster, inflicting some damage on its main body and severing some of the tentacles that covered its entire body.
However, these attacks were not very effective.
The damage to the main body was quickly restored, and even the tentacles would regrow.
Furthermore, because the monster fused with Fafnir, the highest-level dragon species, it has extremely high magic and physical resistance.
Neither ranged magic nor melee slashes could inflict much damage on this monster.
"It's no use! You can't kill me! When you're exhausted, that's when you'll perish! Hahaha!"
The monster spoke again, and it was Black Marshal again, arrogantly declaring his determination to kill everyone.
No wonder he dares to be so arrogant.
Monsters that have been fused with Fafnir are extremely difficult to damage.
In addition, he possesses the Holy Grail, which grants him almost limitless magical power, allowing him to continuously heal from injuries.
The combination of these two factors makes the monster seem almost immortal.
On the other hand, the only advantage the group currently has is probably Marn's spatial manipulation support, which prevents the monsters from hitting them at all.
"No need for further probing! Yorgos! Prepare to unleash your Noble Phantasm!"
Ma En also arrived nearby, providing support and issuing new instructions.
"Yes!" X3
The three people who were named nodded, quickly stepped back, and went to prepare their treasures.
"George! Zart! Enemy, apply debuffs!"
Another command was issued, and the two people who were once again designated began to act.
"A Requiem for Death!"
Mozart began to play, and the strange melody emanating from the void caused the monster's body to inexplicably crack open, making it dizzy and disoriented, and significantly reducing its abilities.
"You are a dragon! You are guilty! AbyssusDraconis (You are also a dragon)!"
Teacher Qiao pointed his sword at the monster, and a debuff called "Dragon Attribute" was applied to it.
Ma En waved his hand, signaling the crowd surrounding the monster to move away.
Meanwhile, the three who had retreated to prepare their Noble Phantasms no longer needed Ma En's instructions. Seeing that the time was ripe, they all began to unleash their Noble Phantasms.
The Lion King: "Seal thirteen! Decision start!"
Black Hairless: "EX!"
Siegfried: "True Aether fully open! I want a greatsword! Great output!"
"Awaken from the golden dream! Release yourself from the cradle!"
"Evil dragon! Destruction is imminent!"
"Fantasy Greatsword: Balmung (Fallen Demon)!"
“Calibur! Morgan!”
"Rhongomyniad!"
Three beams of light—one blue, one black, and one gold—were launched one after another at the Cthulhu monster.
Boom! ! !
The three Noble Phantasms, each extremely powerful on its own, are now attacking the same target together.
The unexpected explosion caused the entire mirror space to shake violently, as if it were about to be torn apart by this terrifying force.
This caused Mashu, Gudako, and the others some worry, but they didn't look away.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the center of the explosion, anxiously awaiting the outcome.
Finally, the flames from the explosion subsided.
Everyone then saw the Cthulhu monster.
Its body is now a mangled mess, with not a single part of it intact.
His limbs were gone, and he was only supported by his broken wings. His head was missing a piece.
If it were a human, the injuries would be fatal, but this monster is still alive, and its injuries are even slowly healing.
"Useless! It's my masterpiece! A being close to an evil god! How could you possibly kill it!"
From the still-intact mouthparts atop the mutilated head came the Black Marshal's voice, which sounded almost mocking, causing everyone's hearts to sink.
At this time, intelligence support from Chaldea also arrived.
After analyzing the monster, Da Vinci quickly said, "It's the Holy Grail! With the Holy Grail as its energy source, the energy is endless, and this monster will keep regenerating."
"Moreover, the Holy Grail is already linked to this monster. Even if we kill the controller, it won't work. The only way to kill it is to separate the Holy Grail from it, making it unable to regenerate, or to destroy its heart, that Noble Phantasm."
"However, both of these are located within the monster's torso, in the heart area, where the defenses are strongest. Even those three A-rank or higher anti-military Noble Phantasms couldn't penetrate its defenses..."
She didn't say anything more, but everyone understood, and their faces fell; their hopes were fading.
Ma En also looked surprised.
Logically speaking, Rungomminiad should have been able to break through the defense, since this treasure has the property of ignoring defense. How could it not have broken through the defense?
He said he couldn't accept Sister Li!
So he told Leonardo da Vinci about this question, and the latter pondered for a moment and said, "That is probably not a defense in the conventional sense, but some kind of characteristic, such as being able to be broken by a certain kind of attack. It should be something that the other party created using the Holy Grail."
Mar and Eng nodded, accepting this explanation. After all, the situation was urgent, and this was the only way to understand it.
But this makes things complicated.
How can I break through this monster's defenses?
I have absolutely no clue!
But no matter what, we can't just do nothing; it'll be even more troublesome once the monster recovers.
"Keep attacking! Let it recover!"
Chapter 303 Helpless? Fantasy Construction Blooms Again!
At Marne's command, everyone stopped thinking and resumed their attack on the Cthulhu monster.
The Noble Phantasms were unleashed without regard to magical energy, and the continuous barrage severely suppressed the monster's recovery speed.
They even blasted the monster down to just its torso, leaving it helpless as everyone attacked it.
Marshal Black could no longer speak, but he was not in a hurry and waited silently.
Inside the monster's body, the Black Marshal sneered, "Fight! Fight! Consume your magic to your heart's content and slowly savor this despair! Hahaha!"
He wasn't worried at all about his defenses being breached, because he felt that nothing in this era could break through the strongest defense of the monster he had created, let alone Ma En and the others.
It wasn't that he looked down on Marx and Engels; he was simply stating the facts.
When he created this monster, he had already considered all aspects and deliberately created a weakness that was almost impossible to target.
Attacks that exploit this weakness are ineffective against the monster's torso!
This is why he chose to attack Ryan, a border city.
Logically speaking, this place has the smallest population and no other cities nearby, making it undoubtedly the worst starting point for monsters to grow.
It is precisely because it is difficult to break through that he can choose the most stable option, rather than the best one.
Although he hadn't expected Marne and the others to react so quickly, it disrupted his subsequent plans.
But that doesn't matter, since monsters can't die anyway. As long as we deal with Marne and the others, they can slowly grow stronger and destroy the world.
As the Black Marshal calmly sneered, Ma En looked at the monster's torso in front of him with a furrowed brow.
"Only a certain characteristic can break through the defense? What exactly is it?"
Marne tried hard to recall all his memories related to FGO, hoping to find the answer.
Meanwhile, the control room at Chaldea was also extremely busy.
They are analyzing the monster, looking for its weaknesses.
But they were still clueless, and could only sweat profusely as they forced themselves to do the most tedious and comprehensive analysis of the monster.
However, time is a bit too tight.
The Servants took turns unleashing their Noble Phantasms, bombarding the monster relentlessly, but they couldn't hold out for long.
Even though Marne had temporarily contracted with all the Servants to provide them with a continuous supply of magic power, the rate of recovery still couldn't keep up with the rate of consumption.
Seeing that the main forces, including Black Hairless, Black Jeanne, and Siegfried, were all somewhat exhausted.
Marne knew it was time for him to make his move.
With a wave of his hands, he manipulated space to make the Servants retreat while activating Wind Spirit Moon... oops! Fantasy Construction!
A dark cloud appeared in the mirror space, flashing with lightning, brewing terrifying power.
Everyone suddenly felt breathless, and looked up in terror at the suddenly appearing dark clouds, sensing that some great terror was about to descend.
"Five thunders rectify the law!"
Snap!
A golden bolt of lightning, several meters in diameter, crashed down with the fury of the heavens.
Boom! ! !
This is not over yet!
