"——But unfortunately, it was discovered too late!"
Hector's eyes flashed coldly, and the spear in his hand emitted a bright light.
It’s true that his Noble Phantasm [Durindana] is a throwing-type Noble Phantasm, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be used in other ways besides throwing, right?
After all, it is the true form of the peerless sword Durandal. Even without chanting the true name of the treasure, it is enough to unleash considerable power.
In a blink of an eye, Hector changed the gun into a sword, and then swung the sword heavily at Lin Qi.
The dazzling light wrapped around the sword burst out, as if a diffuse sword energy was slashed out.
Although Lin Qi, who had never seen this move, reacted in time and blocked it, he also lost the opportunity to stop Hector.
What's more, Lin Qi was more focused on protecting Euryale and didn't pay too much attention to Blackbeard's position.
Hector scored a goal with one strike and immediately rushed towards Blackbeard.
Although Drake and others were not quite sure what was happening, they reacted and took action to stop Hector.
Drake's bullets, Euryale's magic arrows, and Asterios' axe strikes all swarmed towards Hector.
But the sword in Hector's hand shone brightly, and with just one sweep he knocked down all the attacks from Drake and Euryale.
He then easily dodged Asterios' attack with his agility and approached Blackbeard's position almost as if there was no hindrance.
The strength of the great hero of the Age of Gods was fully demonstrated.
Don’t think that Hector is weak just because Lin Qi stopped Hector.
Lin Qi was able to fight with Hector for so long, and he had almost used all his skills. Although he said he stopped him, he basically had no chance to fight back. He just relied on his excellent defensive ability to block his attacks.
Even so, Lin Qi did not have the ability to fight with him for a long time, and could only hope that other battlefields could free up manpower to fight Hector with him.
Otherwise, it would only be a matter of time before Hector shot him to death.
"Captain! Look at the situation now. Should we run away now?"
As Hector approached Blackbeard, he put on a serious yet slightly concerned expression.
He looked like a complete lackey, and his tone seemed to be full of concern for Blackbeard.
Blackbeard, who was still furious, finally calmed down after hearing this.
Because things developed so quickly, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat when he realized only now that two of his generals had already left the field.
This, this is not right? Shouldn't I have the upper hand? How come the offense and defense suddenly changed?
Although Blackbeard was a little panicked, as he and Drake were both pirates, he was naturally well prepared for escape and had no objection at all.
Avoid its sharp edge and be tolerant for the time being!
"Well said! Run!"
Without saying a word, Blackbeard controlled his battleship and started to run away.
The muskets in their hands were also aimed at the tangled ropes that were pulling the ships of both sides.
Just as he was about to show off his spear skills, Hector crossed the dividing line between the two ships and swung his sword to cut all the ropes between the two ships.
"Well done! In that case, the task of cutting off the rear is now left to you!"
Blackbeard admired Hector's cleanness and efficiency, so he mercilessly assigned him a difficult task.
I turned around and ran to the other side of the boat, which would be safer.
"As you command, my captain."
Hector said this, but he didn't turn back to stop Drake and others from thinking.
Instead, he continued to move closer to Blackbeard.
"Look back now, you stupid scary whale!"
Steadying his body that was about to fall off the boat, Lin Qi just got closer when he saw this scene. Although he rarely swore, he also cursed loudly.
——Do I need a little brat like you to teach me something like this?
Blackbeard, who was also showing off his acting skills, had a cold light flashing in his eyes as he turned his back to Hector, and his finger was already on the trigger of the musket.
Hearing the sound of Hector's footsteps, Blackbeard turned around suddenly and perfectly demonstrated what real American Iai is.
"Oh!"
This shot will definitely hit the target!
Hearing the familiar sound of the gunshot, Blackbeard was very confident about the performance of his shot and could not imagine the possibility that it would not hit the target.
The fact was exactly as Blackbeard expected, his bullet hit Hector's body.
But before Blackbeard could feel proud, he was shocked to find that even though the bullet hit Hector, his body did not slow down. He continued to rush towards him as if nothing had happened.
"Pfft!"
There was blood at the corners of Hector's mouth and on his body, but he still thrust the sword in his hand into Blackbeard's chest before he could dodge.
"I'm sorry, it's already this late, I really don't feel like messing around with you anymore."
Hector looked coldly at Blackbeard, who was astonished and a little angry.

Chapter 58 Blackbeard—Exit.
"To be honest, Captain, even if the Master didn't say so, you never trusted me, right?"
Hector took out the Holy Grail from Blackbeard's chest, stepped back slightly to keep some distance, and then spoke with some emotion.
I have to admit that he was a complete failure as an undercover agent.
No one on Blackbeard's side believed him, and on Lin Qi's side he was regarded as the biggest opponent from the very beginning. It can be said that he was not pleasing to both sides.
Is there any undercover agent who looks like him?
"...Hehe, a great hero like you suddenly joins my shabby ship. It's weird no matter how you think about it, right?"
Blackbeard covered his chest, which was stabbed with a big hole and bleeding, and sneered.
Besides, he is suspicious by nature.
"Is that so? Then it was really a mistake from the very beginning..."
Hector spoke casually, retreating to the side of the ship without stopping, while looking warily at Blackbeard and Lin Qi's group.
Even if he avoided the critical parts, the injuries on his body were not fatal.
But it's still not comfortable. If it's not dealt with for a long time, he will be eliminated even if he is a servant.
After all, he is not Hercules, a man harder than steel, and normal attacks are enough to break his defense.
Drake's bullets, Euryale's arrows, and Lin Qi's rune magic fireballs were like silent killers, raining down on Hector.
The three people who knew the importance of the Holy Grail had no intention of talking at all. They all used the maximum firepower they could use in a short period of time to attack Hector.
Hector's eyes flashed with regret when he saw this.
In fact, in his plan, in addition to taking away the Holy Grail, he also wanted to kidnap Euryale as well.
Unfortunately, even now, Yurielle is well protected by them.
If he continues to be greedy, he will probably be in big trouble.
Hector knew that the situation was impossible, so he transformed his sword back into a spear and quickly turned the spear, making it rotate like an electric fan.
This blocked the attacks of Lin Qi and others.
"I'm sorry, everyone. I guess I can't play with you guys anymore!"
At this moment, Hector had retreated to the side of the ship and could jump into the sea with just a light leap.
"Want to escape? Not that easy!"
Blackbeard also became ruthless and fired several shots at Hector, trying to force him back from the side of the ship.
Hector was also paying attention to Blackbeard's actions. After noticing his attack, he easily dodged some of the bullets and blocked the rest with his gun.
"goodbye!"
Seeing Lin Qi and others approaching, Hector no longer had the energy to talk nonsense and jumped into the sea.
"Fuck! There's no way to stop this guy if he wants to run!"
Drake arrived late, looked down at the vast ocean where he could no longer see his figure, and could not help but swear.
There is no way. After all, he is a great hero of Troy, and he is better at defense than attack. If he wants to run, it is basically impossible to stop him without making some preparations.
"He's injured and he's swimming, so he can't get far. Let's get back to the boat and chase him!"
Seeing that his premonition had come true, Lin Qi's expression was not very good, but he still gave the suggestion.
The important thing now is to make sure that Hector does not reunite with Jason and the others at all costs, otherwise the next battle will become extremely difficult again.
"Well said, let's go!"
Drake nodded, obviously aware of the seriousness of the matter, and without saying a word, he planned to return to the ship to continue the pursuit.
"Big sister! It's bad, there's another ship heading this way!"
"And judging by the design of the ship, there's probably a superman on board who can withstand cannonballs with his head!"
After taking just two steps, the two men heard the panicked voices of the pirates.
Lin Qi and Drake were startled and hurried to the front of the ship, looking in the direction the pirates were pointing.
At some point, a golden warship had appeared not far from their two ships and was getting closer to their location.
That is Jason's Argo!
Even though Lin Qi had never actually seen the Argo, there was probably only one singularity like this flashy ship, the Argo.
At the same time, the two also saw Hector, who was swimming desperately towards the Argo.
His hands slid so fast that there were almost afterimages!
Hector was no fool. After realizing that both sides were targeting him, he immediately contacted Jason secretly and explained the situation.
When Jason found out, he did not hesitate and drove his beloved ship straight to Hector's location.
Just in time!
Hector was happy, but Lin Qi and others were not laughing.
"Fuck! Don't think you can get away so easily like this!"
Drake cursed, pulled out the cannon, and fired a shot at Hector's position.
The cannonball flew through the air and hit Hector in front of him, causing Hector to spin twice in the sea and splashing a lot of water.
Hector was so frightened that he trembled all over. After taking a deep breath, he hurriedly dived into the water and began to swim.
When Drake saw that he could not find any sign of Hector, he dispersed the artillery fire with a curse.
Seeing this, Lin Qi knew that it was impossible to stop Hector.
"No, we can't stop Hector, we can only retreat."
Hercules was not someone that could be defeated by these people. Even if they used all their strength, killing him would be the best they could do.
Then they could only discover with sadness that their attacks could not hurt Hercules at all, and were finally chopped to death by Hercules one by one.
"go!"
Drake gave the order decisively, without any intention of testing anyone.
She had already heard about this from Lin Qi and Euryale, who was from the same pantheon, and naturally understood that Hercules was basically unsolvable in this singularity.
Blackbeard had been lying there for a long time, holding his chest. He had been thinking of saying a few sentimental words before leaving.
But he saw that the two men didn't even bother to look at him and started to run away. He suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Hey, hey, don't you guys treat me as a human being? I'm still here, at least look at me!"
"Please, we are in such a hurry to run away that we don't even have the energy to tear your head off as agreed. How can we have the time to chat with you?"
Drake complained without even turning his head.
