"How's it going, Little Mo?"
Mo Shuying greeted Mordred. Such an intimate address made Mordred frown, and she was about to say something.
"Lancer!! By the power of my Command Seal! Find the enemy!!"
Not far away, on the battlefield where Leonidas faced a rather shifty Archer, Miyu realized she couldn't help. She couldn't track the enemy and was constantly ambushed by poisoned arrows, which only hindered Leonidas. Several times, Leonidas nearly got hit.
This feeling of being desperately protected reminded her of her brother. She didn't want anyone else to sacrifice themselves to protect her again, so she decisively activated a Command Seal!
The disappearance of one Command Seal fueled Leonidas's bloodlust!
"Udon noodles!!"
He deployed his defensive battle formation, encircling Miyu with three layers of Spartan Warrior Heroic Spirits, both inside and out. The formation was so complex it would impress even a master tactician. Then, with a command from Leonidas!
"Fire!"
Leonidas instinctively pointed his spear in one direction!
"Hoo-ah!" X300!
Three hundred warriors simultaneously threw their spears! They hurled them towards a general area, not focusing on one point, but simply to cover the surroundings!
The area covered by three hundred spears was impressive, and it proved effective. As a shower of blue spears descended, a green figure emerged.
It was a man in green clothes with blonde hair, holding a yew crossbow. In his hand, he still clutched a cloak pinned to the ground by a spear, and his left leg was also struck by a spear.
"So it was you, you despicable scoundrel! Gate Guardian!"
"Hoo-ah!" ×300!
Leonidas raised his shield and surged forward with his spear, while his three hundred warriors formed a shield wall, using their fiery shields to protect Miyu. Only with such impenetrable defense could Leonidas attack without reservation!
In his eyes, a mere Archer against a Lancer! Once he got close, it would be nothing but a complete rout!
Of course, this excluded those in red, or gold, or with four legs, or who could turn into wild boars, or who had killed snakes—he couldn't win against them in close combat either!
"Oh oh oh oh oh!!"
Under the Command Seal's enhancement, Leonidas moved with astonishing speed, leaping in front of the green Archer. A shield bash followed by a spear thrust—a complete combo! He gave the opponent no chance to conceal himself again.
At this moment, Leonidas truly showcased his combat prowess. When it came to fighting! Who had the King of Sparta ever feared?!
In an instant, both sides suffered casualties in the Heroic Spirit battle, but the Shadow Entity side sustained more losses: Caster, Archer, and Saber.
The Blonde Woman in the sky frowned slightly at the sight, her expression twisting as she watched the Masters celebrating their victory.
"Holy Grail! Seize their Command Seals!"
".Alright!"
The Holy Grail hesitated for a moment before responding. It had already committed so many violations of the Holy Grail War rules! What difference would one more make?
"Buzz~"
An invisible force spread out, and several Masters suddenly found the Command Seals on their hands beginning to dissipate.
Command Seals were crucial for a Master to control their Servant. Without them, a Servant incompatible with its host could even turn against its Master. This was most common with Berserkers!
"What? Berserker!"
Illya felt her connection to Berserker break. She called out anxiously, when suddenly!
"Roar!!"
A mighty roar echoed through the surroundings. From the smoke of battle, a giant cloaked in fiery red emerged, carrying a woman in purple armor.
A rampant aura diffused from him as he strode towards Illya, step by step. The overwhelming pressure was like an ancient beast lumbering forward.
"Berserker."
Illya was startled by Heracles's aura and instinctively took a step back. However, Heracles walked up to Illya, tossed the purple-armored woman, who was already beginning to dissipate, onto the ground, then knelt on one knee and extended a hand.
Seeing this, Illya smiled, jumped onto Heracles's arm, and was lifted up. Heracles rose and walked towards the other battlefields, with Illya's joyful cheers still audible.
"Berserker's the strongest!"
Mo Shuying frowned at the changes around him. He looked up at the sky; the disappearance of the Command Seals surely had something to do with the Blonde Woman above.
Just then, Hassan of the Serenity, in his arms, suddenly reached out and stabbed towards Mo Shuying's neck. A short knife glowed with purple light, clearly poisoned.
"Crack!"
Without even looking, Mo Shuying clenched his fingers, snapping Hassan of the Serenity's neck. The accompanying power of Siphoning Strike directly destroyed her Spirit Origin.
Hassan of the Serenity's raised hand fell, her body went limp, and she began to dissipate.
Another Heroic Spirit from the Shadow Entity side was defeated. Now, only two Shadow Entity Heroic Spirits remained: Lancer, Diarmuid, and Rider, Iskandar.
The Great Emperor had pulled Astolfo into his Reality Marble, Ionioi Hetairoi. The battle situation was unknown, but it was clearly disadvantageous for Astolfo.
As for Diarmuid, although he had received a boost from the Command Seal, he was beginning to tire against an increasingly adapted Artoria.
Soon!
"Clang!"
"Pfft!"
Artoria parried Gae Buidhe with a single sword stroke, then thrust directly, piercing Diarmuid through the chest.
Diarmuid's body stiffened, his hands slowly fell, and the crimson in his eyes faded. He looked at Artoria, a charming smile gracing his lips.
"This time, I finally died by your hand. I am utterly convinced of my defeat. Farewell."
With those words, Diarmuid vanished, leaving only two Demonic Spears crossed on the ground and a Class Card, displaying their final defiance and declaring to the world that he had been there.
"Whoosh~"
Mo Shuying Flash-stepped to the card. After a moment of hesitation, he eventually picked it up.
"Don't let your guard down. The person up there is the real formidable opponent. Get ready to regroup with everyone and face the enemy together."
Mo Shuying then left, intending to retrieve the last Archer card.
As he approached Miyu and Leonidas, Miyu was holding a Class Card and looking up at the sky. Mo Shuying also looked up and saw a gigantic cocoon that had swollen to its absolute limit.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"
Suddenly, a series of continuous shattering sounds erupted. Large sections of the giant cocoon broke open, and peculiar monsters, dripping with viscous fluid, burst forth, each one unique.
"Roar!"
Though newly born, they were already fully mature. Some of these colossal beasts resembled lion-beasts, others lizards, and there were also half-snake, half-beast creatures, and entities like red leopard-dogs.
These demonic beasts were over two meters tall at birth. After roaring, they all simultaneously leaped down from the Shadow Entity. Their numbers were simply uncountable; from the moment they began to descend, the waterfall of plummeting demonic beasts never ceased!
"How can there be so many demonic beasts? Did that woman summon them?"
Everyone gathered together, their expressions changing drastically as they looked at the beast tide that had already poured into the city.
With such a massive number of demonic beasts, even if they joined forces, they might not be able to stop them. Moreover, the demonic beasts were scattering upon landing. Even if they could block some, the others would go on a rampage, leaving no chance of survival for ordinary people.
Just as things seemed to spiral out of control, suddenly!
"Where do you shattered pieces think you're going?! How dare you trespass on this King's territory! Did you get this King's permission?!"
An incredibly arrogant voice rang out, and in the next moment! A barrage of golden energy blasts descended from the sky! Forming a bombardment zone that enveloped the demonic beasts!
