Chapter 292

Regardless of whether the power of the Saints can really destroy the planet directly, in short, after the battle on the third floor is over, the Servants in charge of the trials in the Hundred-Storied Tower finally have a clear difficulty standard to deal with this group of Saints - at least in the short term, the situation on the battlefield will no longer change instantly due to the whims of the Servants.

Kirshtalia, squatting on the top floor, paid close attention to the explanation in the control room while discussing the advancement speed of the Sanctuary with Fujimaru Ritsuka on the communication line: "Can they complete the first twelve floors on the first day? Because the rest rooms this time are set in the zodiac, expanding from the most basic four rest rooms to twelve locations, so we also made special adjustments when setting the opening conditions..."

"The condition for opening the Aries Palace Lounge is to complete the first twelve floors, right?" Fujimaru Ritsuka pulled out the previously prepared Hundred-Storied Pagoda planning document, "Well, I don't know how fast they can complete it, but I know that most of the servants who went to the Hundred-Storied Pagoda were there to have fun - even if they didn't come for fun, they were dragged there by those who wanted to have fun."

"For example, look at the tenth floor, which is filled with a bunch of holy sword users."

"Avalon Le Fay is back on that floor..." Kirshtalia glanced at the list of people on each floor, "Come to think of it, there are quite a few people on Sagittarius' side - basically all the Archers are there. However, although the Argo on the first floor said that the Saints can pass through after defeating Hercules once..."

"But there are so many myths about Hercules."

"Well, the Cancer and Leo floors have consecutive comebacks - and then the Hydra floors will also have Hercules' comebacks." Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked at Kirshtalia in the communication window. "Senior Kirshtalia, I remember you were registered on the first twelve floors, right? How come you are on the top floor now?"

"The first twelve floors!?!"

"The eleventh level of Aquarius - I think Kirshtalia-senpai is quite suitable." Fujimaru Ritsuka blinked and jumped off the bed. "After all, although the servants on that level all have the skills of beautiful young men, or the attention of the main gods of the corresponding pantheon, only Kirshtalia-senpai is an ally of Zeus, right?"

“…I’ll go downstairs right now.” Kirshtalia sighed heavily and rushed down the spiral staircase. “Which floor are they on now!?!”

"The sixth floor - the ones fighting on this floor are Ereshkigal, Ishtar, Nitocris Alter, Quizar Koyatel, and Tezcatlipoca!"

“…Can they really survive on this level?”

However, no matter how Chaldea questioned how the Saints could defeat these gods, the Saints who challenged the Hundred-Storied Tower successfully passed the sixth floor before Kirshtalia reached the eleventh floor - and then faced Nitocris Alter who immediately returned on the seventh floor.

"I think the Hundred-Storied Pagoda ranking compiled by Mr. Noah will be very interesting." Fujimaru Ritsuka said with real emotion, and reminded Kirshtalia, "The deputy director just removed the restrictions inside the Hundred-Storied Pagoda - without additional supplements, you should be able to use great magic on them."

"The eleventh floor doesn't need the meteor shower. I'm going to give this and the replica of the mechanical Zeus to them as a gift at the top floor." Kirshtalia paused, quickened his pace and continued to go down. "However, according to the configuration of the members of the eleventh floor, I can actually fish on the spot, right?"

"Ah... The deputy director asked you to at least command them as the protector if you don't want to go to the frontal battlefield." Fujimaru Ritsuka glanced at the message that Lancer Melo had just sent and replied to Kirshtalia, "The original words were 'As an ally of Zeus, Kirsh must at least do something to test them on this level.'"

"Alright, alright, I'll close the communication first." Kirshtalia sighed helplessly, and said goodbye to Fujimaru Ritsuka on the other end of the communication with a smile, "I have to go meet the Servants on the eleventh floor first - after all, the relationship between them and me now is not a true Master and Servant."

On the other hand, Lancermello, who was waiting on the tenth floor, was speculating on the possible actions of Hades during the holy war next year. The last holy war took place outside the underworld. If the possibility of the underworld's victory was to be increased, the Pluto's army should not leave the underworld and actively invade the Sanctuary. Instead, they would find ways to bring members of the Sanctuary into the underworld.

"Then, we need to consider the need to fight in the underworld..."

However——

"Before considering next year's holy war, we must first resolve the process of this trial." Lansemello grabbed Aegis Kui from the air and threw it to Orion, looking at the burly hunter with a smile, "This level of trial is left to you holy sword users - even if it is a bow, as long as the forged primordium is a holy sword primordium, then you are a holy sword user."

"Thank you for your hard work. Don't get beaten to death by anyone other than Artemis. Otherwise, I will tell Artemis that you are looking at other women again."

“Isn’t this a threat?!?” Orion, who was not chosen by the Saints for a challenge and was lucky enough to leave the ninth floor early as a member of the Holy Swordsman and come to the tenth floor, shouted.

And after the trial in the Hundred-Storied Pagoda continued for several days - even though there were constantly opening rest rooms that could speed up the process of removing the seal of the Cosmo left by Kido Saori, the problem of number of people still limited their progress; and after being wantonly ravaged by various Servants, the Saints gradually figured out how to fight against different Servants, which accelerated the progress of clearing the level.

And now, only the last twelve floors representing the Twelve Gods of Olympus are left in the Hundred-Storied Tower, waiting for the Saints to challenge them.

"On the 89th floor, Hephaestus, the god of fire and forging, is here. All heroes who have used weapons forged by him are waiting for the challenge of the Saints." Because this was the first battle of the day, Merlin, who was in charge of the commentary, chose to directly introduce the situation of the last twelve floors. "On the 90th floor, Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, Galatea, who had received her blessing, and two other gods who were also goddesses of Venus, as well as two goddesses who also controlled the power of love, are waiting for the challengers to visit."

"The 91st floor, Ares, the god of war and war, Attila, who holds the Sword of War, King Iskandar, who also defeated and conquered many countries, and Romulus Quintinus, the founder of Rome, and a series of Roman emperors."

"The 92nd floor, Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom - Odysseus, the famous Greek general who possesses the divine body barrier Aegis, the wise king, the magic king Solomon, the detective Sherlock Holmes who can understand everything in the world, Medusa who holds the golden sword, as well as the Indian goddess of war Durga and the Nordic Valkyries."

"* The 93rd floor, the moon goddess Artemis - Atalanta, who was famous for shooting the first arrow when repelling the Charydon boar, Artemis himself, who shared the same spirit base with his lover Orion... Ah, a special note, the Orion in this spirit base looks like a teddy bear, so please don't ignore his existence. Finally, there is Orion himself, the strongest hunter in Greece."

"The 94th floor, Apollo, the sun god, handed the golden apple to Aphrodite. Paris, three of the four suns in Central and South American mythology, and Van Gogh, whose spiritual base is 80% occupied by the crazy Nymph Clutie."

"The 95th floor, Goddess of the Oven Hestia - here are all the members of the Crimson Demon's cooking training class led by the Crimson Demon."

"On the 96th floor, the goddess of the earth, Demeter - Ishtar, who also holds the power of harvest, returns here. All the fantasy species with the attribute of 'earth' will appear here. However, those under the earth are not on this floor. They will appear on the 97th floor belonging to Hades, the god of the underworld."

"The ninety-seventh floor, Hades, the god of the underworld - Circe and the two Medeas who belong to the genealogy of Hecate, Ereshkigal, the oldest god of the underworld, Nitocris who represents Anubis, the ancient Egyptian god of death, and little Alice who has the power to open the gate of the abyss and the power of the god of sleep, as well as the fantasy species belonging to the underworld."

"On the 98th floor, a team of pirates led by Poseidon, the king of the sea, Amphitrite, the queen of the sea, Mananan MacLear, the Celtic god of the sea, and the oldest pirates, the Argonauts, are waiting for the challengers to arrive."

"The ninety-ninth floor, the Queen of Gods Hera - the goddess Europa who merged some of Hera's remnants, and the goddess Parvati and goddess Durga, the goddesses of Shiva in Indian mythology, appeared here."

"Finally, on the 100th floor, the God King Zeus - Kirshtalia Vodem, who once defeated Zeus and became Zeus' ally, and the Conqueror King Iskandar and Dioscuri, who are the sons of Zeus."

"Well, let's wish the challengers good luck." K. Rasputin concluded Merlin's introduction. "After several days of fighting, I believe the Saints have become familiar with the fighting methods of many Servants. They will also be able to quickly deal with those Servants that they have repeatedly fought in previous battles."

"It seems that this level of Hephaestus won't take them too much time." Ms. Avalon smiled and naturally changed the topic to the next level. "I hope the goddesses won't start a civil war and hand over the victory to the challengers - especially Amor and Kama. If they really want to fight, they can wait until we get back to fight in the simulated battle room."

"Haha, let's wait and see how these challengers perform today." Tai Gong Wang, who had taken part in the trial on the Unicorn Seat a few days ago, smiled and held a teacup. "Although I am familiar with the fighting methods of many servants, there are many members in the last twelve layers who were only assisting or showed up before - don't underestimate the enemy just because you have seen them so many times."

"You know, there are many Servants who hide their usual or best fighting skills, just waiting to give them a hard fall in the end."
