Known for their strength, the Amazons now found themselves unable to lift their own weapons.
At the same time, Emiya, with his left hand that wasn't holding a weapon, directly grabbed her head.
Pressing the Amazon's head down for a violent slam, while his right leg, which was stepping on the longsword, lifted to deliver a knee strike to the female warrior's jaw.
Amidst the sound of Amazons swallowing their saliva, another one of their comrades exited the battlefield.
Now, the Amazons truly realized that Emiya, empowered by the [Uchide no Kozuki], although of the same level as them, Lv.3, had combat strength far beyond their imagination.
This was not an equal strong enemy, but like the Lone King in the dungeon, a terrifying existence that required teamwork and strategy to deal with.
However, although these Amazon warriors had participated in the subjugation of [Giant Goliath] multiple times, and even had the glorious achievement of killing [Amphisbaena], the Two-Headed Dragon, their combat experience was limited to super-large BOSSes.
For the humanoid [Lone King] before them, no one had any experience in dealing with it.
Moreover, they had no relevant information about Emiya at all, leading them to clash their rapiers against his heavy axe, only to be knocked down instantly.
Even so, the Amazon warriors showed no intention of retreating.
Three figures leaped out simultaneously, with different body types but similar appearances, the battle courtesans charged towards Emiya like cheetahs.
Their steps were light and swift, as if one, the natural sense of co-ordination made their attack seem as if controlled by a single will.
The girls were the famous trio of the Ishtar Familia, all at Lv.3, with each sister a year apart in age.
The trio shared the same mother, while their fathers were a wolfman, a human, and an elf respectively. However, this did not affect their relationship. For the Amazon tribe, in most cases, they only valued the maternal bloodline, and paternal differences did not become an obstacle to their relationship.
As the sister combination second only to the [Four Warriors of Burning Gold] of the Freya Familia and the [Hiryute Sisters] of the Loki Familia in the labyrinth city's fame, they were known as the [Phantom Tri-Stars].
Of course, the trio's fame mainly came from their side job in the red-light district—tickets for their trio's erotic dance performance were ten times the price of a solo performance, and even so, their shows were always sold out, with every performance packed.
As for being able to invite all three sisters for a night, this was the ultimate dream of countless male adventurers in the city. However, as of now, no one has been able to fulfill this wish.
Although each of the three sisters had their own patrons, no lucky man had ever enjoyed the fortune of having two at once—the opportunity of "twin flowers blooming" had never occurred.
Initially, it was because of this legendary achievement that Raul was bewitched, being led around by a courtesan who claimed to be the "manager of the three sisters."
In order to impress the three sisters, he did not hesitate to use funds on the scale of Familia finances to buy luxurious gifts everywhere, hoping to win their favor.
However, it turned out to be a complete scam—the courtesan did not belong to the Ishtar Familia at all.
She took all of Raul's gifts and money, then completely disappeared from Orario, flying far away, and no one has seen her since.
Not having received a single penny, but very dedicated to their jobs, the three sisters even came to visit the despondent Raul, giving him tickets to their dance performance as consolation, but no further courtesies were extended.
On the other hand, the true excellence of the three sisters was not limited to their side job as courtesans. They were also extremely formidable adventurers, possessing the typical advantages of Amazon warriors, great strength, enduring stamina, nimble movements, and astonishing agility.
Coupled with their telepathic connection and seamless co-ordination, they fought as one, with their attacks and defenses flowing like water, almost without any flaws.
Within the Ishtar Familia, the trio's coordinated combat was even considered more threatening than the Lv.4 adventurer, Tammuz.
The three figures quickly closed in, with longswords and daggers crossing in a cold light, like the claws of a beast.
The eldest sister took the lead, her heavy sword steady and sharp, a sweeping strike aimed directly at Emiya's waist.
Almost simultaneously, the second sister of the trio quickly closed in, her fists thrusting towards Emiya's side, as fast as the wind.
The youngest sister circled to the back, attempting to deliver a fatal blow from behind.
The sisters' telepathic coordination formed an inescapable hunting net.
However, because of Aisha, Emiya already knew their combat style. Either do nothing, or do it thoroughly, the sisters' information had already been sold out.
At the beginning of the battle, the Amazon that Emiya prioritized taking out was one of the few adventurers in the Ishtar Familia with long-range attack capabilities.
The combat style of Amazon warriors mostly focused on close combat, with very few long-range threats, only that Amazon skilled in throwing stone bullets, and Aisha, who possessed blade light magic, could effectively suppress Emiya from a distance.
And then there was Samira, who was "taken care of" by Emiya, as the Lv.3 warrior with the highest endurance in the Ishtar Familia, she was the vanguard fulcrum for the female warriors to launch various coordinated tactics.
For the Ishtar Familia's strongest combat force under [Man Killer], the perfectly coordinated [Phantom Tri-Stars], Emiya already had a strategy to deal with them.
Charging at the front was the eldest sister of the trio, her figure tall and voluptuous, her strength and endurance the most formidable among the three. Every strike from the female warrior carried immense pressure, the heavy sword in her hand flashing with a cold light, her momentum like a rainbow.
Her lower body was clad in black stockings outlining her long legs, with the rise and fall of her sword's movements, her beautifully lined figure appeared particularly heroic.
To her left, the second sister of the trio quickly approached. Her figure was well-proportioned, skilled in fist fighting, focusing on agility, her movements swift and precise, with varied attack methods.
Her smooth feet stepped on the ground, moving quickly and silently, her steps as flexible as an elf in the wind, with the light swing of her body, her skin emitted a healthy glow under the moonlight.
And behind, the petite youngest sister waited for the right moment to act, she focused on agility, the dagger in her hand flashing with a cold light, ready to deliver a fatal blow at the most opportune moment.
Her legs clad in fishnet stockings faintly visible, tracing out a highly dangerous pattern.
Although the youngest in age and the latest to level up, she was the only one among the three sisters who possessed magic. The magic [Instant Flash], which could greatly increase her speed and attack power in a very short time. With this magic, her explosive power in battle far exceeded that of ordinary people, even more dangerous and deadly than her two elder sisters.
Emiya did not hesitate to throw three daggers, aiming straight at the female warrior charging at the front. The daggers drew a cold light in the air, heading straight for her.
However, these daggers were not arranged in a more threatening triangular formation, but in a straight line—perfect for using a heavy sword to block.
The female warrior's combat instinct prompted her to quickly raise her heavy sword, the three daggers were all blocked, a hint of relief flashed in her heart.
However, in the next instant, the tall woman's expression changed drastically.
Those daggers were not ordinary weapons, but three lightning magic swords—not Emiya's projected creations, but genuine magic swords.
The three lightning magic swords exploded simultaneously in front of her, the intense current instantly spreading along her heavy sword, piercing straight into her body.
The powerful force of thunder tore at her muscles and nerves, instantly paralyzing her body, under the heavy blow, even standing became a luxury.
This strike, worth eighteen million valis, directly caused the eldest sister of the [Phantom Tri-Stars], with the strongest strength and endurance, to lose her combat ability.
The Amazon's body uncontrollably fell, her vision filled with flashing electric lights, her ears filled with the sound of thunder.
Her exit from the battlefield instantly unbalanced the situation, with the loss of the strongest corner's suppression, Emiya could focus on dealing with the remaining two sisters.
The [Nine Lives] in his right hand was directly thrown out, hitting an Amazon female warrior who was trying to take up the heavy sword vanguard position from behind, forcing her to stop.
"Sister!", When the two sisters saw the lightning engulf their sister, their movements hesitated for a moment. And this brief hesitation was the flaw Emiya needed.
Emiya fearlessly met the girl's fist strikes. The Amazon's attacks were precise and powerful, but the boy did not dodge, allowing her fists to hit his body.
At the same time, his left hand fiercely grabbed her shoulder, forcibly stopping her attack, the girl let out a melodious cry of pain, feeling as if her bones were about to be crushed.
Almost at the same time, the petite girl also launched a sneak attack from behind, her dagger drawing a deadly cold light in the darkness, the girl was also chanting, trying to activate magic.
However, Emiya was faster, his right hand counterattacked like lightning, directly grabbing the girl's neck, forcibly interrupting her chant. The girl was controlled by this force, unable to move, a flash of fear in her eyes.
Emiya did not hesitate, fiercely colliding the two sisters' bodies together.
The two bodies collided in mid-air, making a dull sound, then, as if discarding useless items, he backhandedly threw them towards the eldest sister who had been struck down by the lightning magic sword, and without hesitation, added another magic sword strike.
The three sisters fell heavily together, their bodies trembling in the electric light, muscles twitching uncontrollably from the electric shock, emitting intermittent, painful yet subtly different light moans.
Three pairs of long, well-proportioned, or plump beautiful legs entwined together, the different textures of black stockings, bare feet, and fishnet stockings weaving into a chaotic picture. The sisters' bodies lay softly together, no longer having the strength to break free from this overwhelming defeat.
The [Phantom Tri-Stars], a famous and powerful adventurer group, had now all been defeated.
On the other side, the Amazon female warrior who was almost hit by Emiya's thrown [Nine Lives] was covered in cold sweat.
At that moment, she almost felt death brush past her. The rapidly flying weapon whistled past her eyes, with a strong oppressive force, almost taking her breath away.
Although she barely dodged, her heart still pounded like a drum in her chest, her body trembling slightly from the fright.
Before she could calm down, Emiya had already swiftly caught up. His movements were like a shadow, not giving her any chance to catch her breath.
Without hesitation, Emiya punched, accurately hitting her abdomen. The punch carried a strong force, the sound of the impact was dull and powerful.
This strike almost bent the Amazon female warrior's body into a bow, the strong impact made her internal organs churn instantly, the intense pain surged up like a tide, her eyes instantly widened, a muffled groan came from her mouth, her breath seemed to be squeezed dry.
A powerful force spread throughout her body, causing her legs to weaken involuntarily. Her body completely lost support, and pain and helplessness engulfed her like a raging tide. She staggered back a few steps before finally collapsing to her knees, powerless.
Emiya walked to her side, not reaching for [Nine Lives], but instead looking ahead. At this moment, in front of the boy, the battle courtesan holding a rapier charged at him madly without hesitation.
Her gaze was as fierce as a wild beast's, completely abandoning all defense. It seemed that even if she were crushed by Emiya's giant axe, she would not regret it, as long as her sword could pierce him.
The skill [Savage Thrust] activated. The battle courtesan's endurance decreased, but her agility was pushed to the extreme. The surrounding people could hardly see her charge, only a blurred afterimage.
However, in the fleeting instant of battle, as swift as lightning, Emiya and her figures brushed past each other. Almost at the same moment, before the tip of her sword could touch his body, she suddenly felt a sharp pain.
Her right arm was dislocated by a single strike, the joint completely displaced. The rapier slipped from her hand. The battle courtesan collapsed to the ground, groaning in pain. Emiya stood beside her, his expression calm. He reversed his grip on the stolen rapier and pressed it down, plunging the sharp blade into the ground beside her face with a slight vibration.
The sword's edge was only an inch away from her, leaving a deep wound on her shoulder.
Emiya glanced at her and said in a low voice, "Don't move."
"Y-Yes…", The Amazon's voice held only tenderness and submission.
"Still want to fight?", Emiya swept his gaze around, his eyes landing on the still battle-ready Amazon warriors.
He calculated the remaining duration of [Uchide no Kozuchi]. The strongest among the Amazon warriors had already been defeated by him, and the remaining battle time was enough for him to handle the rest.
However, Tammuz was nowhere to be seen. He still needed to save some enhancement time to deal with this Level 4 adventurer.
Emiya sighed and spoke the surrender lines that Goddess Astraea had taught him, words that, according to the goddess, would make the Amazons give up resistance immediately.
"If you put down your weapons now, I can grant you a simple request: you may choose the manner in which you are defeated."
Clang! Clang! Clang—
In response, a series of crisp metallic clatters rang out.
These were the sounds of Amazon weapons dropping to the ground one by one. In the silent night, the noise was particularly clear, echoing in everyone's hearts.
The remaining girls all understood. Even the strongest [Phantom Tri-Star], along with many sisters stronger than them, had been so easily defeated by Emiya. They had no hope of victory.
However, with the Amazons' belligerent nature, even if they couldn't win, they would still fight to the last, willing to be injured rather than surrender easily.
Yet now, they all chose to submit—because Emiya's conditions for surrender were simply too tempting.
Though they all enjoyed the experience of being defeated by a strong male, each Amazon had her own preferences. Some battle courtesans longed to be punched, others desired suffocation, and some preferred trampling. Even among those who liked trampling, there were distinctions between stepping on the body or the head, and even among head trampling, there was a difference between the front of the face and the back of the head.
The front face had the advantage of more direct sensation, even allowing for tongue movement, while the back of the head could be combined with a kneeling posture of submission, enhancing the ceremonial aspect… The battle courtesans of the Amazon race had conducted deep research in this area.
Therefore, in the face of Emiya, who had defeated numerous powerful Amazon warriors and displayed overwhelming strength and savagery, the battle courtesans simply couldn't refuse his offer.
The atmosphere on the battlefield suddenly shifted. The previous hostility and frenzy vanished without a trace. The Amazons who had voluntarily laid down their weapons lowered their eyes one by one, placing their hands behind their backs. They sat on their knees in a neat row, with bright smiles on their faces, waiting for Emiya to approach them.
At this point, the Ishtar Familia had suffered a total defeat.
.
.
.
All the battle courtesans present, more than twenty Level 3 Amazon warriors, had been completely beaten down, reduced to drooling fools with silly grins. Even Emiya couldn't help but sigh: "Amazons are truly a terrifying race…"
Their strength, agility, and endurance were all monstrous. Especially their endurance. Amazons probably had the best stamina of any race, even surpassing dwarves and beastmen.
But even more terrifying than their combat ability was their battle spirit. Amazons had no concept of retreat, surrender, or submission. They would fight to the end, at least, until Emiya stated his terms for surrender.
It was as if their morale was locked in place. The more they saw their comrades ahead being crushed and humiliated, the more excited they became, their fighting spirit burning even brighter.
Even at the very end, the remaining few girls laying down their weapons wasn't exactly surrender or submission in the strictest sense, it was more like a form of transaction.
'This battle experience was truly a bit mentally exhausting.'
'Thankfully, it is finally over.'
Emiya lifted his foot from an Amazon warrior's delicate face and stepped over the garden of sprawled bodies, heading toward the highest palace of the Ishtar Familia.
The effect of [Uchide no Kozuchi] still had four minutes left. He originally thought he would have to defeat Tammuz, but now it seemed like he could save himself the effort.
Tammuz was a rather unimpressive second-tier adventurer. Ever since he leveled up to Level 4, he hadn't participated in any real battles, spending almost all his time by Goddess Ishtar's side. He was considered one of the weaker Level 4s.
With [Uchide no Kozuchi] temporarily boosting his level, Emiya would likely be able to defeat him.
If he couldn't, he could just fire a signal flare and have Lunoire punch him twice.
But that would officially drag the [Hostess of Fertility] tavern into the conflict. While Boss Mia wasn't afraid, it would still be troublesome.
This result was much better, everything was Emiya's personal action, and his reason for fighting was entirely justifiable: "to buy the freedom of a girl who was a victim of human trafficking."
———
"Ishtar," Emiya lifted his head, looking at the goddess above.
The dusky-skinned goddess, whose beauty was unmatched, held a pipe in one hand and descended gracefully from the other end of the stairs.
The intoxicatingly sweet fragrance of a poisonous flower drifted to Emiya's nose, as if luring one toward destruction.
The goddess's amethyst-like eyes lowered as she gazed at Emiya. She walked forward slowly, step by step, until she stood beside him.
