The weapons finally became too numerous for Heracles to parry.
One by one, weapons pierced Heracles' body, and blood continuously flowed out, dyeing the ground red.
However...
Heracles, as a Berserker, was indeed unimaginably fierce.
The intense pain from his wounds did not make Heracles flinch. On the contrary, the intense pain only made Heracles more frenzied.
*Puff!*
Heracles grabbed a long sword lodged in his body and forcefully threw it forward.
"Hmph!"
Gilgamesh snorted and then reached out, grasping the air to his side.
"Dawn of Oblivion!"
Within a vast golden aura, a knightly sword slowly materialized.
Gilgamesh grabbed it and casually swung it forward, deflecting the incoming long sword.
"Insects!" Gilgamesh declared, "Keep struggling!"
The golden light screen trembled again, producing large golden ripples, and countless weapons once again densely gathered behind Gilgamesh.
Meanwhile, Bai Ye scanned his surroundings.
Heracles had appeared, but where was Heracles' Master?
Behind the collapsed walls were rooms, and there seemed to be no space for hiding.
Or perhaps, after giving Heracles his orders, they had simply abandoned him?
No, Bai Ye did not believe that.
Two sneak attacks.
One eliminated Lan Xi, and the other severely wounded Cao Mingjin.
The opponent's fighting style was clear: although Heracles under their command was a Berserker, the opponent's own style leaned towards that of an assassin, favoring sneak attacks to eliminate opponents.
Therefore, they shouldn't have abandoned Heracles but should have gone into hiding.
Bai Ye had no intention of interfering with Gilgamesh's battle.
Gilgamesh dealt with Heroic Spirits, while Bai Ye dealt with the Chosen Ones.
And right now, to deal with the opponent, he needed to flush them out first.
Bai Ye pondered for a moment, then slowly crouched down, kneeling on one knee.
No matter what, they wouldn't just disappear into thin air, right?
Bai Ye took a deep breath and said, "Phoenix Flame!"
In the next instant, a large amount of flames appeared, aggressively pushing outwards in all directions, forming a sea of fire that instantly engulfed a large area.
Bai Ye firmly believed that the opponent was nearby, merely possessing some means to conceal themselves.
Therefore, he just needed to find a way to force them out.
Bai Ye's gaze quickly swept across his surroundings. Suddenly, in the center of the flames, there seemed to be an invisible wall, isolating a section that looked extremely out of place.
"Found you!"
Bai Ye grinned and then abruptly kicked a burning chair in that direction.
"Flame Burst!"
The chair, streaking through the air, suddenly exploded, and a massive fireball erupted.
From the exploding fireball, a figure suddenly darted out, rapidly moving away from the center of the blast.
It was a tall woman, wearing a black form-fitting suit and a bustier, with reddish-brown hair flowing, and two curved swords hanging at her waist.
When the woman raised her head, one could see a very beautiful face with a strong South American flair, a prominent nose, and slightly sunken eye sockets. Her features were not exquisitely delicate but possessed a unique charm.
After a glance, Bai Ye was momentarily stunned, then couldn't help but smile.
There were so many old acquaintances in this Holy Grail War.
Ichira Isabella Lima!
In Bai Ye's previous life, this woman, though not among the strongest who survived until the end, was very famous.
At that time, there were only three major organized forces in the entire world battlefield.
The Hidden Dragon Society was one of them.
The other two were the Evil Spirit Group and the Flower Street.
And Ichira was one of the Twelve Evil Spirits of the Evil Spirit Group, one of the twelve highest-ranking cadres besides the leader and deputy leader.
At that time, Bai Ye had clashed with the Evil Spirit Group and had met Ichira a few times, though they had never fought. This woman was a commander, her strength was decent, and she was ruthless, but not top-tier.
Bai Ye found this situation quite interesting.
During the Twelve Great Battles, Bai Ye hadn't known that many "old acquaintances."
But in this Holy Grail War, they were all familiar faces.
This indicated two things.
First, formidable people are formidable for a reason; they don't become powerful for no reason.
The prodigies who were active in the world battlefield in his previous life would still stand out even if they started over.
Second, after this Holy Grail War, the progression of the world battlefield could be considered to have moved beyond its early stages and officially entered its mid-phase.
During the Twelve Great Battles, some people might have emerged due to luck or because their world's standard was already high. However, the Holy Grail War was clearly becoming more stable. Based on Bai Ye's memories from his previous life, the participants were all formidable.
Even though Ichira was not a top-tier master who survived until the end in Bai Ye's previous life, she was still a strong contender who survived until the later stages of the world battlefield.
On the other side, after being forced out by Bai Ye, Ichira immediately drew the two curved swords from her waist and leaped towards Bai Ye, raising her blades to strike down.
Bai Ye snapped back to attention, stood his ground, and watched as the twin blades descended. He simply raised his Xuanyuan Sword and swept it across.
*Clang!*
As the Xuanyuan Sword swept by, Ichira's twin blades were instantly deflected.
Too weak!
Even without relying on the Xuanyuan Sword, in this single collision, Bai Ye could clearly feel that Ichira's physical attributes were two tiers below his own.
Her strength was likely around one hundred, fluctuating.
Even with Ichira's various skills, the gap in physical attributes was extremely obvious.
"This woman..." Bai Ye sneered, "She was too focused on watching the battle between the Knight King and Gilgamesh, wasn't she?"
Bai Ye felt that if Ichira had truly witnessed his fight with Cao Mingjin, she probably wouldn't have dared to suddenly rush out.
Unless...
She was tired of living!
While thinking, Bai Ye extended his hand and swept his sword horizontally.
Golden Sword Qi!
Golden radiance erupted from the Xuanyuan Sword. Then, as Bai Ye swung the sword, a crescent-shaped golden sword qi appeared, rushing directly at Ichira.
Ichira rapidly retreated and produced two talismans.
"Starlight Condensation!"
The two talismans burned, and then a silvery-white light, like starlight, condensed in front of Ichira.
*Rumble!*
The golden sword qi collided with the condensed light and then exploded.
Scattered fragments of sword qi flew outwards. Ichira's face showed a look of shock, and she instinctively crossed her arms.
*Puff, puff, puff...*
The broken sword qi zipped past Ichira, continuously creating wounds on her body.
