Although in the eyes of others, Lancer at this time was like a demon crawling out of hell, he himself appeared to be very calm. The reason for this was not only because this was his Noble Phantasm, but also because of the 'attributes' that had changed at this time.
His panel attributes did not change due to the use of the Noble Phantasm, but several 'inherent skills' were added.
Undying in a Hundred Battles A
In just two years, he participated in more than a hundred battles, big and small. He would always be the first to charge, but he could always live to the end.
(Wound recovery speed increases. When facing a fatal attack, he gains the 'Tenacity' status)
Leadership D+
He is more skilled at charging ahead than commanding, so he is a general rather than a marshal, but he is good at commanding in a small area. Whenever he shouts the word 'charge', morale will temporarily recover regardless of the situation.
(Morale is boosted when leading friendly forces to charge)
Faceless Slaughterer B+
He is always expressionless whether in front of the impaled foreigners or the beheaded nobles. In folk rumors, he is not human, and among the higher-ups, it is even rumored that his true identity is a 'humanoid Imperial Arm' held by the emperor.
(Immune to most mental attacks, his mind is like steel and has no flaws)
Great General of the Nation A
He eliminated foreign tribes from the outside and punished corrupt officials from the inside, protecting the empire at a critical moment. He was posthumously named the Great General of the Empire 'after his death'.
(All attributes are strengthened when the current goal is 'protection')
There is no doubt that the biggest reason why the Noble Phantasm 'Imperial Executioner' was categorized as 'Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm' was that it gave Lancer a new 'identity'.
And because of this, he also gained new Noble Phantasms, but the effects of the Noble Phantasms could not be released.
But that was not all, or rather, his Noble Phantasm had a 'second stage effect'.
"Foreigner! Death sentence!!"
Accompanied by Lancer roar, the bloody aura that had been constantly spreading around his body immediately surged towards Semiramis in the distance.
"Tsk! Damn Shakespeare!!"
Although Semiramis didn't know why Lancer had suddenly become like this, she could almost be certain that Lancer change at this time was absolutely inseparable from what the other party had done before. She even wished she could pull Shakespeare, who had already returned to the Throne of Heroes, back and flog his corpse, but there were more important things for her to do at this moment.
She didn't know what that bloody aura was, but she knew that it was full of ominous things and it was better not to touch it.
「Sikera Usum」
Normally, the ability of this Noble Phantasm is very 'simple'. It's nothing more than giving all her magic the characteristic of 'poison', but within the range of another Noble Phantasm, 'Hanging Gardens of Babylon', it gained another enhancement --- summoning divine beasts related to 'poison'.
The moment the Noble Phantasm was activated, the poisonous gas completely polluted the nearby space.
Astolfo even directly escaped to Lancer back. As for Jeanne and Gilles, they also evacuated with ugly expressions, but the other two were as usual.
Siegfried, as a legendary dragon slayer who bathed in dragon blood and gained 'immortality', he gained a special Noble Phantasm called 'Armor of Fafnir's Blood', so he could naturally be immune to this poison. As for Amakusa Shirou Tokisada...
As the Master of the oldest poisoner, he once had a 'test' after summoning Semiramis. He drank a cup of 'poisoned wine' that the other party personally poured for him, and in the end, Amakusa Shirou Tokisada survived. Most people thought that maybe the wine was just a simple test and was not poisoned?
No, the answer was the opposite. The wine not only contained the poison that Semiramis had put in it, but in terms of toxicity alone, it even surpassed the poison of the Hydra. The reason why Amakusa Shirou Tokisada survived was because he had already been poisoned by the 'venom' that the other party had put in him when he summoned her long before.
Only by drinking the poisoned wine she served could the two poisons neutralize each other, and there was no doubt that in the end, Amakusa Shirou smiled and drank the poisoned wine, not only gaining Semiramis's trust but also winning his own life.
And it was precisely because of this that he was still able to fight Siegfried in the poisonous gas with a normal expression, but all of this was just an appetizer.
As the poisonous gas spread, a terrifying 'snake head' suddenly leaped out from beside Semiramis, and at the same time, it fiercely sprayed a mouthful of poisonous mist towards Lancer.
"Puff~!!"
Facing the oncoming poisonous mist, Lancer calmly took a bottle of --- Antidote G from his bag.
At the same time, he excitedly took out the horn from his waist...
"Woo~ woo~ woo~"
Unlike Astolfo's Noble Phantasm, when the horn was blown, the poisonous mist in front of him still did not disperse, but ---
"Meow!"
"Meow~"
"Meow?"
Accompanied by the sound of breaking through the air, three black dots appeared in the sky, and then ---
"Clang~!"
"Bang!!"
With a flash of a blade, a hole was actually cut in the huge snake head, and at the same time, the originally high-held snake head fiercely smashed into the ground, and its wide-open mouth naturally closed directly after swallowing that mist.
Accompanied by a series of meows, three cats in armor leaped from the ferocious snake head towards Lancer, and Lancer naturally opened his arms to welcome his three companions.
"Bang~!"
With a loud noise, Lancer hugged his three companions, Jack, Tiger, and Aru, but before Lancer could speak, Aru suddenly let go of his two cat paws that were hugging Lancer and covered his ears instead.
"BOOM!!!"
Accompanied by a terrifying explosion, the terrifying divine beast named 'Bashum' once again let out a mournful cry.
And Semiramis, who was standing behind Bashum, had an extremely ugly expression at this time. Although the purpose of summoning this 'divine beast' was only to defend against Lancer strange 'bloody mist', how could Semiramis's expression be good when the divine beast she summoned was beaten so badly?
'Wait a minute?! Bloody mist?'
Only at this time did she remember that bloody mist, but after being surprised, she calmed down again. That mist would definitely not be a direct lethal ability, but whether it was 'poison' or 'curse', they were ineffective against Bashum, so...
"Hiss~ hiss~"
Accompanied by a series of angry noises, Bashum, with its blood-red eyes, launched a frantic attack towards Lancer, while Jack waved his katana and constantly moved on the huge snake head. As for Aru, he used his knowledge of Jack to pre-place 'explosive barrels', and the last one, Tiger, raised his hunting horn and played a vast melody behind the two cats and one person to provide support for them.
The one person and three cats perfectly divided the four roles of 'support', 'output', 'tank', and 'burst', so if they wanted to break this formation...
"Bashum! Attack that damn fat cat!!"
Semiramis gave the order without hesitation, but the scene that appeared next left her dumbfounded.
"Hiss~ hiss~"
The terrifying divine beast actually ignored the command of its 'summoner' and continued to attack Lancer.
And Lancer, who was being attacked by Bashum, showed a satisfied smile.
