Upon receiving Li Jia Yi's command, Semiramis immediately summoned her spatial chains. Void rifts appeared all around as silver chains emerged, entangling with Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon to resist his onslaught.
Semiramis then spread her arms forward, and circles of magic circles bloomed behind her. Gilgamesh sneered and casually waved his hand. Amidst golden ripples, new weapons materialized and shot forward. Fuma Kotaro's figure flickered, appearing instantly before Semiramis and drawing his short swords. Clang, clang, clang... Fuma Kotaro desperately deflected the incoming weapons, his blades clashing with them, producing a constant ringing.
But… *Puff!* A long sword suddenly pierced Fuma Kotaro's shoulder, forcing him to retreat. Gilgamesh's attacks were not easily withstood.
Meanwhile, Byakuya had his sights set on Li Jia Yi. Following the established pattern, Gilgamesh dealt with the Servants, while Byakuya confronted the Master! Raising the Xuanyuan Sword, Byakuya unleashed a slash. A golden sword qi shot forth, cleaving through the air directly towards Li Jia Yi.
However, Li Jia Yi seemed unwilling to engage Byakuya, retreating backward and choosing to avoid the fight. It was at this moment… Semiramis's magic circles were complete, and countless magic projectiles shot out from them, dense and pouring down like rain. These magic missiles clashed repeatedly with Gilgamesh's weapons, emitting deafening roars and knocking down the treasures from the Gate of Babylon. They even withstood the sword qi of the Xuanyuan Sword!
A barrage of magic projectiles struck the golden sword qi, exploding continuously until the golden sword qi was shattered into pieces. Amidst a colossal roar, the golden sword qi detonated. A vast golden wave spread out in all directions, pushing everything around aside. Crystal chandeliers on the ceiling shattered, and countless glass shards rained down onto the floor.
Semiramis did not hesitate. After the first wave of magic projectiles ended, she reached forward. A new set of magic circles appeared before her, forming a line, more numerous and more terrifying than before. New magic projectiles emerged and shot forward.
Semiramis said, "King of Heroes, are your treasures sufficient?"
Gilgamesh sneered, "My treasury is inexhaustible, how could mere mortals imagine it?" Gilgamesh showed no intention of retreating; on the contrary, he seemed more excited. The luminous screen behind him unfolded, spanning almost the entire banquet hall. As Semiramis's magic projectiles increased, so did the number of weapons Gilgamesh released from the Gate of Babylon.
Rumble, rumble, rumble! With violent collisions, the roars were incessant. The entire banquet hall trembled continuously. Under the fierce barrage, the floor, walls, and ceiling developed cracks, and the surrounding space felt on the verge of collapse.
Semiramis gritted her teeth and drew a circle in front of her. A five-pointed magic circle appeared, representing five elements, and shot forward. Flames erupted suddenly, wind currents transformed into blades, the earth trembled as a stone hand rose from the ground to strike forward, water flowed like a fountain in an assault, and countless electric arcs swept across the ground.
Byakuya raised the Xuanyuan Sword, adopting a slashing stance. Great Dao Sword (condensing a massive phantom of the Xuanyuan Sword for attack). Golden radiance erupted from the Xuanyuan Sword, and then a giant phantom of the Xuanyuan Sword formed from golden light, slashing down.
Boom! The moment the giant sword landed, the five elements were instantly annihilated under the slash of the Xuanyuan Sword. A terrifying fluctuation appeared, transforming into ripples that spread outwards in all directions, impacting the surroundings in waves. The shattered parts of the banquet hall expanded, showing signs of imminent collapse. A large rock fell from the ceiling with a bang, hitting the ground and shattering into pieces.
At this moment, Fuma Kotaro made his move, silently circling behind Byakuya, intending to launch a surprise attack. However… Byakuya was prepared! As Fuma Kotaro maneuvered behind Byakuya, just as he was about to get close… Gengar suddenly emerged from Byakuya's shadow, holding a Shadow Ball and smashing it down upon Fuma Kotaro. The Shadow Ball flew, striking before Fuma Kotaro, and then… With a rumble! The Shadow Ball exploded, creating a deep crater in the ground.
Fuma Kotaro could only retreat swiftly, attempting a long-range attack with his kunai, but Gengar immediately condensed a Mud Bomb and threw it forward, knocking Fuma Kotaro's kunai out of the air. Fuma Kotaro could only retreat in frustration. In a head-on confrontation, he was truly outmatched by anyone.
Gilgamesh struck at this moment, drawing a Spiral Sword from the Gate of Babylon, raising it, and throwing it forward. With a *Szzzz!* the Spiral Sword was instantly entwined with electricity, transforming into a white light wreathed in arcing electricity, and shot forward. Rumble, rumble, rumble! The moment the magic spheres collided with the Spiral Sword, they were continuously pierced and exploded. Then… the Spiral Sword struck Semiramis!
In the white light, Semiramis's eyes widened. The Spiral Sword sliced through her gown at the waist, revealing fair skin. She was sent flying backward, crashing against the wall not far away.
Byakuya said, "It's over!"
"No!" Semiramis, clutching her wound, gritted her teeth and stood up straight. "It's not over yet!"
Byakuya sighed, "Look to see where your Master has gone." Semiramis glanced to the side, her expression freezing in shock. Li Jia Yi… was gone!
Byakuya mused inwardly that Li Jia Yi's assessment of the situation was incredibly accurate and he was a cunning individual. Realizing that Semiramis could not defeat Byakuya and Gilgamesh, he decisively slipped away, leaving Semiramis to continue the fight.
And for Semiramis… she had once betrayed her husband, poisoning him with fine wine. Through this, she became the oldest poisoner, and the renowned Queen! And now… Semiramis tasted the flavor of betrayal.
