Looking at the light blue beam of light in the sky that was about to fall on Animusfia's head, Fujimaru Ritsuka gritted his teeth.
She desperately hoped that in such a critical moment, she would not let that person face everything alone.
but--------
Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't do it now.
"Senior, be careful!"
Putting the giant cross-shaped shield in front of his master, Mashu blocked the attack from the giant white creature in front of him for the girl.
"ha!"
Then the spear fell straight from the air and penetrated the head of the giant creature. Elizabeth, standing on the handle of the gun, flapped her wings that had just grown again.
However, no one had time to rest. Almost all surrounding creatures other than humans had turned into monsters that could destroy a city-state alone. Even Arturia and Elizabeth held the opponent level. Even the Noble Phantasm cannot clean out such a number of monsters in a short period of time.
Not to mention a servant like Mashu who specializes in guarding.
If it were an ordinary wyvern, she might be able to deal with it quite easily, but facing these creatures that were infected and assimilated by Yusei, Mashu didn't have enough capital to kill them as simply as Artoria did. .
Not even to the extent of Elizabeth.
Although after this short period of getting along, Matthew was deeply aware of Elizabeth's child-like side at best - at worst, her ability to get into trouble and willfulness.
The previous attack that made no distinction between friend and foe is the best example.
Only when Animusfiya is by her side can she act like a guardian and restrain her.
It was hard to imagine that such an existence could be the same existence as the gentle and elegant Mrs. Nadasidi she met at the French Singularity.
But Matthew was also deeply aware of the gap between her and Elizabeth as Servants.
Compared to Elizabeth, who can use abilities proficiently, she is just an immature sub-server.
Fortunately, she still has enough ability to protect the Master behind her.
"Lord Chaldea!"
The illusory wall spread out from Mashu's giant shield, blocking all surrounding attacks outside the wall.
Thanks to the gift made by Animusfia, she didn't need to worry about magic power at all. Even if she had to fight like this for another week, Matthew would have the confidence to persevere.
She was more worried about whether Animusfiya could continue to persevere.
Speaking of which——————————
"Senior, have you seen where Miss Nero went?"
All-devouring darkness and thunderous sound waves swept the battlefield.
Taking advantage of the little free time Elizabeth and Artoria had when they released their Noble Phantasms, Mashu asked his Master.
"That emperor...?"
Bowing slightly and panting, Fujimaru Ritsuka also realized that he had never seen the red figure of the emperor since the beginning of the battle.
Judging from that person's personality, when she fights, she will be as eye-catching as the out-of-place dancer in the center of the banquet hall who attracts everyone's attention.
However, until now in the battle, Fujimaru Ritsuka has not seen any sign of the Rose Emperor.
"Is it possible————————?"
The red-haired girl looked up at Animusfia, who was fighting the white giant alone in another place.
ah! Let that guy take the lead!
Well...but since it's her...and it's a time like this...
Let’s support her this time.
"Saber, Lancer! Release the Noble Phantasm with all your strength, don't let these monsters get close to the director!"
While releasing lightning from the golden dagger with the texture of gems shining in her hand, the red-haired girl ordered to her servants.
At the beginning of the battle, when he saw the three-color light condensed into the circular formation in the sky, Nero, unable to calm down, chose to rush back to Animusfia.
The further he walked directly below the circular formation, the more Nero could feel the pressure of the light beams condensing in the sky, and the more he felt the weight of his legs.
Just like picking up a dry wood branch and just waving it, you can feel that it can be easily broken by you.
It's like picking up a buckler and feeling reassured that it won't be easily destroyed.
What Nero felt under this light was an unstoppable sense of destruction.
Even if the entire Alps were blocked by it, it would probably be "destroyed" easily.
If there are children who are not yet literate and don't know what the word "destruction" is, they only need to be brought here to witness such a scene to let them know.
Anyone who has witnessed this scene will undoubtedly recognize it as destruction.
Even blind people who cannot see can feel this apocalyptic atmosphere.
Even moving forward becomes difficult.
Every cell in Nero's body was telling her not to move on.
That is the instinctive survival response of living creatures.
If he had followed his instinct, Nero would have fled far away.
Even if it was the aftermath, Nero still couldn't imagine what kind of power Animusfia had used before to be able to push back such an attack.
It’s even harder to imagine the price he paid.
Even if they knew that Animusfia was a magician whose abilities were far beyond ordinary people, and a pseudo-server who was fused with a heroic spirit;
Even if it is known that Animusfia can reproduce the actions of [God] to a certain extent,
Nero didn't think that these could help him block the light that destroyed everything.
If you want to ask why——————————
That giant Cephalus is an object that even the gods cannot defeat.
Just watching this scene and hearing the legends of the past made Nero want to escape.
How should she face an existence that even the gods cannot defeat?
But she can't run away.
Nero Claudius has found something more precious than "Rome".
She raised her head and looked forward, and Animusfia's figure could be clearly reflected in her eyes.
After receiving the protection of "Rome", Nero was even able to see clearly the white hair on Animusfia's forehead that had lost its luster and looked like withered weeds in autumn.
The strange stars surrounding Animusfia shattered.
Although he didn't know what it was, Nero still recognized it through the surrounding aura.
That must be the magic of Pluto, the king of Hades.
Then Nero stepped onto the soil that was dyed red.
The moment she stretched out her feet and stepped forward, she felt the life force in her body passing rapidly.
"So you've always been standing on this kind of land?"
Nero said this as he continued to run hard towards Animusfia.
"Did you always hold something like this?"
Nero said this while feeling the breath coming from the Spear of Uranus released by Animusfia.
"Invite me to the Aestus Domus Aurea!"
Filled with warm light and fire, Nero's unique golden theater is intertwined with Animusfia's broken "Hades".
However, this alone is not enough——————————
This alone was not enough to protect her important things from the destructive beam.
Nero clenched the pitch-black Spear of Ouranos in her hand, using all his strength to resist the light of destruction falling in the sky.
"Hades?...If you think about it carefully, it is indeed a gentle place of refuge that is enough to make death not fearful, but————"
Feeling the [Death] coming from the Spear of Uranus, Nero firmly raised his head and stared at the light that was constantly destroying the golden theater that blended with Hades.
"But it's not enough! What I want and what I love is definitely not that gentle death!"
