One after another, transparent silk threads glowed with purple light, emerging around Mash and Artoria Alter.
Then an invisible giant net appeared in front of them.
Countless silk threads connected the Chimeras howling in pain, and finally gathered in front of the man in purple clothes, weaving into an exquisite throne.
It is obviously made of silk threads, but there is no soft texture at all.
The angular edges of the throne are reminiscent of the arthropods of a tall spider.
Dark, deadly, and vicious, it gives people a completely different feeling than the purple silk robe he wears.
It is even more difficult to connect the person sitting on the throne with the crown above his head.
Can such a despicable person really be considered a king?
Arturia has encountered quite a few heroes so far, and there are many kings among them.
They are either arrogant or overbearing.
But Arturia had never seen someone as sinister as the person in front of her.
It's not that there are no sinister kings, it's just that there are only a few who can enter the Hall of Valor as sinister kings.
If the clothes of the unknown servant on the other side are full of luxury and glory, the almost invisible threads that are also glowing with purple light only give people a chilling shiver.
The giant web that the threads entangled in must be full of pain and torture—and war.
And sitting on the throne woven by the war, it was Mikhail VIII who had been planning here for many days.
He doesn't have to show his "net" at all.
Until the moment when the two knights in front of him were defeated, Michael VIII could always hide behind the sea of Chimera.
The throne of conspiracy was slowly lifted by silk threads, and then rose into the air.
Only now did Artoria realize that the entire forest and even Cologne behind were densely covered with spider silk.
With an overlooking attitude, Mikhail VIII looked at Artoria Alt and Mash below.
Finally, he also had the opportunity to no longer stay behind the scenes.
During his lifetime, Michael VIII always manipulated others. Even in the twenty-year war that qualified him to enter the Throne of Heroes, the protagonist was not Basilius of the Roman Empire.
"Vortigern!"
Whispering the name of the humble king who transformed into the Dragon of Britain, Arturia Alter swung her sword at the giant net glowing purple in the night sky.
The dark magic power was released, melting a large piece of Mikhail VIII's spider web in just an instant, and then gathered into a beam of light and rushed into the sky.
The reversed Sword of Victory can decompose almost all matter and reconstruct it into magic power.
Michael VIII's giant web was no exception.
However, the parts destroyed by the Sword of Oath of Victory seemed not to belong to the web woven by Mikhail VIII at all, and had no impact on the whole.
After a few seconds, the extended spider silk closed the gap again.
"Miss Saber, be careful!"
Mashu reminded Artoria as he waved his shield to knock away the Chimera that attacked when Artoria released her Noble Phantasm.
"It is impossible to control such a large number of magical beasts through ordinary magic. I am afraid that this spider web is the opponent's Noble Phantasm and the basis for controlling the Chimeras."
Roman, who was awakened by an emergency, watched and analyzed the images sent back from the singularity in the control room.
Since he almost missed the entire journey to the French Singularity last time, Romani Achiman made an agreement with Leonardo da Vinci to wake him up even if he was resting in case of an unexpected situation.
Roman didn't want him to see the last scene before giving up his power in his sleep.
"Doctor Roman...can you detect the weak points of the opponent's Noble Phantasm from Chaldea?"
Seeing that Artoria's Noble Phantasm was not working, Mashu began to place his hopes on Chaldea's Spirit Calculator and the near-future observation lens Sheba.
"No, I just noticed now that the scene around Cologne has been completely shrouded in fog... no, it's covered in cobwebs. Nothing can be observed. Being able to maintain communication like this is already the limit. ”
Da Vinci rubbed his temples and said with a headache.
"Why is this so...What about the situation of seniors and others?"
Mashu quickly asked about the condition of Fujimaru Ritsuka who was not here.
"No, we can't get in touch. But the cobweb has completely enveloped Cologne. I'm afraid the Fujimaru clan is in the same situation as you."
Now I can only hope that Boudica can protect Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"Oh? Are you worried about the [Master] who is left behind in the city?"
Michael VIII, who heard the exchange between Matthew and Leonardo, showed an interesting smile.
Frowning slightly, Artoria raised the Sword of Victory, facing only Mikhail VIII on the throne.
"It's okay to tell you that the number of 'Chimeras' that exist here is [two hundred thousand]."
"What......?"
Mikhail VIII looked at Mashu's disbelieving expression and continued to say proudly.
"From here all the way to Cologne, there is no place that is not occupied by Chimeras. As for your Master?"
Mikhail VIII paused for a moment, as if feeling something, and then continued.
"It's been a tough fight."
"whispering sound....."
Arturia gritted her teeth and looked at the Chimeras surrounding her and Mash behind her.
There are too many.
Although thanks to the magic dress made by Animusfia, Artoria is not facing the dilemma of running out of magic power.
However, even the fully liberated Sword of Victory cannot eliminate such a large number of monsters in a short period of time.
Not to mention that she and Mash had to face unknown servants from the enemy.
