TM : [136] Radiance of the Noble Phantasm

"Impossible—" Kayneth, who was on Rider's chariot, couldn't believe it. He said, "Is this his true power? It's incomparable to what it was before!"

"Haha, that's what makes it interesting! Look! The young girl doesn't seem afraid at all!" Rider laughed, but his expression darkened. "I must admit... my Reality Marble won't hold for much longer... If it weren't for the reinforcements from modern-day citizens, my Reality Marble would have already been shattered. But now, even these flames can't destroy my unmatched army!"

That's right.

The flames were powerful.

But they were merely aftereffects.

Rider's army was, after all, composed of Heroic Spirits! Most Heroic Spirits managed to withstand this wave of flames.

And thus, the Reality Marble remained intact!

But... the danger was not over!

"Sword of the War God—"

Altera waved her hand forward.

At the same time, the array in the sky suddenly changed direction.

The two sides of the array corresponded to Lancer and Saber.

"Know the mercy of the King of the Gods—"

Karna raised the spear in his hand, and his golden armor had completely disappeared. In this Holy Grail War, he could no longer use that golden armor, losing his absolute defense.

"Two seconds until launch!" Altera aimed her Sword of the War God at the array-like objects in front of her with her hand.

"This thrust will be annihilation!"

Karna's spear was the most powerful Noble Phantasm he had obtained by exchanging his golden armor.

But!

"This time, I won't lose!"

Altera's sword was her prize after defeating the War God. It was also a weapon infused with stellar energy. Even facing a Heroic Spirit like Karna, she showed no fear.

"Consume everything—"

"Star of Tears—"

Hum—

A beam of light shot down from the sky.

This time, it didn't hit the array but pierced Altera directly through her hand, refracting through her sword.

This Noble Phantasm, originally a top-down attack, had now become an attack from bottom to top!

The sword emitted a brilliant radiance—

The beam of light poured into it.

"Vasavi Shakti!"

"Teardrop Photon Ray—"

The light symbolizing the sun descended from the sky—

The light representing the destruction of the Age of Gods rose from the ground—

The two Noble Phantasms collided!

Hum—

Silence...

Then—

Boom——!

...

"Is... is this space trembling?" Kazuya was surprised by the sensation he was experiencing.

Even though it was his first encounter, he somehow understood.

The space was shaking.

The atmosphere seemed to be tearing apart.

The Reality Marble couldn't hold on much longer.

"So fast. What's happening inside? No... this is bad—"

Without hesitation, Kazuya ran, feeling the danger. At the same time, he felt that this was an excellent opportunity.

Perhaps he was about to witness an extremely rare spectacle.

So—

No matter what, he couldn't stay here.

In this position...

This perspective...

"This perspective doesn't seem bad either..."

Kazuya thought, and with a swift motion, Kazuya slashed off half of his own head with a bone blade that sprouted from his arm!

There was no blood at the wound.

But what he saw would be transmitted.

He adjusted the eye carried by the half of his head.

Quickly, Kazuya ran outside—

"This should be enough. With both perspectives, it's the best material! With this kind of experience, my understanding of combat will surely improve once again! Hahaha—"

...

"Is Caster insane?" Archer's mouth twitched as he watched Caster, who had just cut off half of his head. Then, he realized that even in this state, Caster was still alive.

Unlike Berserker's Twelve Trials.

This... even if his head was severed, he wouldn't die.

He was truly immortal!

How could he be defeated?

"I think... I probably know who that Caster is now..."

"Hmm? Who is it?"

"To be honest, I can hardly believe it, but there's only one possibility now. That guy... is most likely both Caster and Master, and I have a rough idea of why he's participating in the Holy Grail War... he's truly a madman."

...

"Ugh... give it your all, Lancer!" Tohsaka Tokiomi's body twitched slightly, and the jewels in the box one by one disappeared.

Only the water flowing on the ground remained.

Tohsaka Tokiomi took a deep breath. "By the command spell, Lancer, restore your own magical energy—"

During this time, as he relaxed, he quickly took the remaining magical jewels with magical energy in them and replenished his own magical energy.

If it weren't for the command spell as a buffer, wouldn't he have already been drained dry by now?

But...

He wasn't the only one who could use a command spell!

"Rider—"

"Well, use a command spell." Rider looked at the battlefield and said, "Using a command spell should help maintain the Reality Marble for a while longer."

"No, forget it!" Kayneth stopped them and stretched out his hand. "Saber, by the command spell, give it your all! Saber... finally, by the command spell, give it your all!"

In an instant.

Kayneth had exhausted his remaining two command spells.

"Ah, I understand, Master!"

Altera said as she instantly channeled all her magical energy into her Noble Phantasm in front of her—

At that moment.

The beam of light fired...

Looked like a giant sword trying to bring the sun down.

"It's over—Saber, with your Noble Phantasm, you can't block my Noble Phantasm." Lancer assessed the situation in front of him. He had already wagered all his magical energy, the magical energy he obtained from his own Master, and both command spells.

The sun finally devoured the giant sword—

And then annihilated the earth.

Finally...

The Reality Marble shattered!

The sun shattered the radiant sword, destroyed the Reality Marble, and then struck Ryuudou Temple fiercely!

Even the legendary-grade tiles of Ryuudou Temple couldn't withstand this blow!

The mountain exploded!
