The flame spewed by Tatara in his Kakuja state reached a high temperature of 4000°. Theoretically, no creature other than those with specialized fire-resistant equipment can survive in this flame. Even a Dragon Remnants would be instantly turned into charcoal. This is also the reason why Donato Porpora said Lancer was already dead. But what is the reality?
The continuously erupting smoke was rapidly moving towards Tatara's direction, even pulling out a trail formed by the smoke, as if the owner of the smoke was moving at high speed, except for the brief pause at the beginning.
And that was exactly the case!
Almost at the same time the opponent spewed out the flame, Lancer raised his right hand.
「I」
The Runic symbol representing ice instantly lit up, and ice armor instantly covered his body. But even so, the high temperature continued to try to invade his body through the armor. But it didn't matter, because the time had come!
Lancer, holding the black lance, suddenly burst through the sea of fire, and directly in front of him was 'Tatara,' who was continuously spitting out flames.
Seemingly not expecting Lancer to easily break through the sea of fire, a black stream of light violently passed underneath it before it could even react.
"Puncture~!"
The originally pure white ice crystal was completely stained red by Tatara's blood, but Lancer did not take advantage of the situation to pursue, because he fully understood the method of dealing with this kind of giant opponent.
Perhaps the injury he inflicted would be fatal to an ordinary person, but for a Kakuja whose size was magnified more than ten times, this injury was not enough to kill it. That is to say------
"Bang!!"
Its arms violently smashed the spot where Lancer had just been standing, and Lancer had already rolled away before that. But just as he was about to get up, a fierce storm of Ukaku-Kakuhou rushed down from overhead again.
"Tsk."
Lancer, making a sound of annoyance, had to abandon the ice armor on his body, or rather, use the armor on his body as material to cast an ice wall.
"Dong~ dong~ dong~"
Kirishima Ayato's Ukaku-Kakuhou pierced cracks in the ice wall, but still failed to break through, until------
"Bang!!"
Accompanied by a loud noise, the huge-bodied 'Tatara' suddenly smashed the ice wall with its arm, but what made him stunned was that there was no one behind the ice wall.
"Who are you looking at!! Monster!!"
The roar that suddenly came from behind made him turn his head instinctively, and then------he saw a pair of cold eyes.
「Weakness Perception」
"Boom!!"
Accompanied by a violent roar, the ground beneath Lancer feet completely cracked, and he himself turned into an arrow shot from a bowstring, charging directly towards Tatara's face from the ground.
In the previous round of fighting, Lancer had already found that the opponent always subconsciously protected its face, but did not care about its lower body. There is no doubt that the opponent's 'body' was hidden in the 'maw' of the giant Kakuja.
Facing the rushing flames, Lancer did not summon the ice armor this time, because if he did, there would not be enough time. He didn't know if the opponent could transfer like 'Owl,' so he decided to rush through directly.
The churning Bloody Qi on his whole body ignited fiercely the moment it touched the flame. This terrifying flame even completely ignited Lancer combat suit, and his body, even under the protection of the Bloody Qi, was like a cooked shrimp. But even so, his eyes were still extremely firm.
The black lance penetrated the flame and stabbed the maw that was continuously spitting out fire, and Lancer in the flame violently pressed all his strength onto it.
"Puncture~!"
Tatara's 'body' was directly pierced by Lancer from inside the maw, and Lancer, with unspent momentum, directly pierced the head of the gigantic 'Kakuja.'
"Bang!!"
Lancer, who landed on the ground, was naked all over, and his skin was also turning red, but he just gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.
Indeed, there were other ways to kill Tatara, but the one that could be done in the shortest time and preserve the most combat power was only this one. Even if he had to pay a certain price, he would not hesitate.
As a Lancer, since he chose to thrust the spear in his hand, he would no longer hesitate, because hesitation has no meaning in battle.
However, before he could calm the physically boiling blood in his body, several more Ukaku-Kakuhou shot towards him.
And Lancer, looking at the Ukaku-Kakuhou falling from the sky, had a cold look on his face------and turned around and ran.
Of course, it was not because Kirishima Ayato's transformed Kakuja was stronger than Tatara. The most crucial reason was that Lancer had no interest in being 'bird-walked.'
Although this didn't affect his combat power, he wasn't a pervert.
At this moment, he suddenly realized how useful the 'GHOST' armor he used in the 'Holy Grail War' was, as it could be summoned directly at this time.
However, Kirishima Ayato, who was above, seemed not to be deterred by Lancer 'bold move' but followed up agilely.
The continuously scattered Ukaku-Kakuhou behind him didn't even give Lancer time to stop and put on a pair of underwear.
On the other side, Donato Porpora was also scared by the sight of Lancer forcefully taking the flame and killing Tatara, but seeing the opponent 'seriously injured' and 'fleeing in panic' chased by Kirishima Ayato, he couldn't help but show a satisfied smile.
"Alright, Amon, no one is interrupting our catch-up now."
"Huff~ huff~"
Facing Donato Porpora's words, Amon Koutarou was panting heavily but didn't say a word. In his previous round of quick attacks, the opponent had been agilely avoiding Amon Koutarou's attacks, except for the first strike where the opponent didn't expect the 'Dark Hand's' special ability, which resulted in one Kakuhou being completely destroyed.
But... catching up?
Was there anything for the two of them to catch up on?
But Donato Porpora seemed not to care about Amon Koutarou's reaction. Instead, he stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Amon Koutarou.
"Hate? Confusion? Amon, you're still the child whose thoughts are easily seen through, as always. That's why I like you so much, so much that I wanted to raise you myself, and then------eat you myself."
Donato Porpora's words made Amon Koutarou's body tremble. The opponent's words reminded him of the time when he was a child, and his clumsy lie was exposed after he secretly ate a companion's donut. The opponent also said the same thing, but the latter part of the opponent's words made his face change, and at the same time, he gripped the hammer handle with both hands and leaped violently to the side.
Almost at the same time Amon Koutarou dodged, a large amount of Rinkaku-Kakuhou, which seemed to be composed of small crosses, burst out from behind the opponent and swept towards Amon Koutarou. At this moment, although Amon Koutarou consciously wanted to evade, he only had time to slightly block it with the hammer handle------
"Bang!!"
Under the huge impact, Amon Koutarou was forcibly swept away and crashed into the wall, shaking down many small stones...
