Chapter 186: Brahma, Curse Me! The Second Sun Evaporates the Sea!
"Boom!!"
Astonishing flames bloomed from Agaris.
Facing one of the world's top powerhouses, Leon Vardenburg, The Knight of Knights, Ryuu could not hold back at all and immediately activated the magic sword Agaris that Shirou had given her.
Because Alise's soul existed within Agaris, this magic sword was essentially a living weapon. It could completely detach itself from Ryuu's control and release power on its own.
Precisely because of this, even though Ryuu herself did not possess fire-attribute magic, wielding Agaris now allowed her to unleash high-level fire attribute attacks!
"Ooh ooh ooh ooh!!"
When Ryuu took the offensive, Argana and Bache, the two Lv.6s of the Kali Familia, also did not hesitate and followed suit.
Three Lv.6s attacking Leon alone!
Counting the magic sword containing Alise, it was even three and a half Lv.6s.
"Clang!"
However, just like the sneak attack of the three giants of the Loki Familia on Ottar on the other side, the three here also failed to gain any advantage against Leon!
Leon did not even draw his sword. Relying on his physical strength and pure combat skills, he easily dodged the attacks of the three and extinguished the flames released by Ryuu with his bare hands.
"This flame is very familiar... Could it be that Alise's soul is inside that sword?"
Leon actually saw through the truth of the magic sword Agaris at a glance.
"What!?"
Facing Ryuu's incredible expression, Leon calmly said: "Well, manipulating souls is something I've experienced a few times when confronting the Thanatos Familia. I just didn't expect that God of Death could actually integrate a living person's soul into a sword. It's somewhat surprising."
Since Leon had seen through her true nature, Alise no longer concealed herself and appeared next to Ryuu in soul form, confronting the opponent directly.
"Sir Leon, do you really want to stand on the side of the Heavenly God Ouranos?" Alise questioned Leon. "As a remnant of the Zeus Familia, I don't think you would have the same blind faith in the Heavenly God as the others in the Guild."
"Well, I certainly don't trust that old god." Leon nodded quietly. "However, I once owed that old Heavenly God a favor and had to come out to help. Moreover, I actually have the same thought as many others: if Ouranos were to be eliminated, what would be the future of this world? Without Ouranos suppressing the rage of the Dungeon, Orario would be instantly swallowed by the monsters surging out of the Dungeon."
"..."
Alise, Ryuu, and the others present could not respond to Leon's words.
Because most people had indeed not considered where the future of Orario would go after defeating the Ouranos Faction.
After all, the current order of Genkai was entirely established by Ouranos.
From the Tower of Babel to the Falna system, he single-handedly created this Labyrinth City named Orario.
If Ouranos were to disappear from Genkai, no one knew what consequences it would bring.
Many people stood with Ouranos precisely because they feared that consequence, fearing that after the old order was destroyed, a new order could not be established, and they would instead directly plunge into the abyss of chaos and anarchy.
"I, I believe in Emiya and Goddess Astraea." Alise was silent for a moment before speaking first. "I believe they will definitely be able to bring a new order to Genkai!"
"That man with the title of God-Slayer?" Leon showed an interested expression. "Unlike you, I've never met him even once, so I don't know if he's an existence that can be trusted."
"Emiya is absolutely trustworthy!" Ryuu followed up. "At least, he has always been fighting for others and has never considered his own desires."
"Oh? A man without desire? That makes me even more eager to meet him." Leon smiled, then his tone shifted. "However, let's continue this battle for now. Although I won't be a running dog for the Heavenly God Ouranos, to repay the favor, I definitely won't let you leave here easily."
"Even if we have to force our way through, we absolutely must pass!"
Alise spoke with determination. The assembled Familia also showed solemn expressions, all having made up their minds.
"Ready the Magic Swords—!"
In the central unit, at the command of Tsubaki Collbrande of the Hephaestus Familia, the many adventurers who were previously fearful simultaneously aimed their magic swords.
Aisha of the Ishtar Familia seized the opportunity to shout: "Not close enough! Don't fire randomly!"
"Wait until we reach attack range, then unleash the attack together!"
Ryuu also called out, simultaneously working with Argana and Bache to obstruct Leon's actions, trying to trap Leon within the range that the magic swords could reach.
"Hmm... Crozzo's Magic Swords, those are indeed troublesome things." Leon also seemed to sense the arrival of the threat, and he suddenly gripped the longsword at his waist. "In that case, it seems I also need to get a little serious and show you the power of The Knight of Knights."
Faced with Leon's motion to draw his sword, Ryuu and the others immediately showed nervous expressions.
But they did not retreat at all, trying to delay Leon's movements as much as possible.
The adventurers holding magic swords, just as their vigilance reached its peak and the oppressive feeling was about to rush upon them, finally unleashed the power of the magic swords.
"—Now!!"
The moment Yamato Mikoto of the Take Mikazuchi Familia spoke.
Tsubaki also shouted loudly: "Fire—!!"
In an instant, countless magic swords simultaneously shot out magic.
Explosive flames, blizzards, roaring thunder, and storms charged forward, blasting toward Leon's direction.
"Boom!"
The diverse, seven-colored attacks intertwined, forming an unprecedented torrent of magic that completely submerged the figure of the strongest swordsman.
The resulting roar and shock shattered all the stone slabs on the ground, shaking the entire city ruins.
The power of the magic swords was displayed, shocking both gods and mortals.
However, before everyone could immerse themselves in the might of the magic swords, the scene that appeared next caused everyone's heart to skip a beat.
"Snap!"
Just like a turbulent waterfall being directly split in the middle by a single sword, the wave of magic swords released by the coalition army was cut into pieces by the knight Leon with a single stroke.
The man walked out of the smoke step by step, like a hero from a myth guarding the pass alone, and proudly declared: "Is that all your power has? Then it's my turn."
Leon said, raising the longsword in his hand.
"Flickering Light Roars, the Twelve Seats of Heroes!"
The moment the words fell, a unique sword of light formed in Leon's hand. The intense energy emanating from the sword body tore apart the storm brought by the magic swords just now.
But this also caused the sword of light itself to be destroyed, gradually dissipating!
"His weapon was destroyed!"
Seeing this scene, many adventurers showed expressions of surprise.
Only Alise and Ryuu's expressions were devoid of joy and instead grew more solemn.
Because only they, the adventurers from the previous era, knew the true power of Leon Vardenburg, The Knight of Knights, and the truth of that magic!
.
.
.
An unprecedented war was taking place on Orsa Island.
The strongest mortal Familia and top powerhouses from all over the world were gathered on this insane island, pushing their respective powers to the limit in pursuit of victory.
But at the same time, this was not just a battle between mortals.
In the sky above the island, the struggle between a demigod and a divine-powered monster was also simultaneously underway.
"Boom!"
The towering giant wielded the trident in its hand. It not only easily tore apart and annihilated the torrent released by Enki but also manipulated the sea currents to charge toward the base of Shirou's Faction.
The astonishing tsunami turned into a whirlpool.
That was the power to change heaven and earth, which mortals could only look up to.
If there were no power of the same level to oppose it, let alone the base, even this island would be instantly and completely submerged, turning into ruins swept away by the tsunami.
However, a power to oppose it did indeed exist. It was a flame that almost pierced through the sky.
"With this karma fire, burn away the impurities!"
The moment the divine-powered monster of the Sea God Poseidon was about to flip the island over, Shirou proactively stepped forward to meet the opponent, swinging a blazing flame that seemed to incinerate the sky.
As the Authority Shirou possessed now, amplified by Hestia's Authority of Immortality, his flames were almost on par with the Authority of a true god.
Precisely because of this, even the great flood stirred up by the Sea God Poseidon's divine power was directly annihilated by a single strike of his sword, using the flames to evaporate the sea!
However, flames alone could not completely defeat the Sea God Poseidon's divine power.
After all, on a physical level, water inherently restrains fire, and Poseidon was one of the strongest chief gods of the water system. The divine power superimposed on the waves he released could easily extinguish the flames Shirou created.
Therefore, if he wanted to defeat Poseidon, Shirou still had to project a more unique Noble Phantasm to find a way to defeat the enemy!
"Hah"
He started what he thought of.
Shirou immediately began a new projection.
"Trace on!"
A large number of Noble Phantasms were conceived in Shirou's mind, and he finally locked onto the Heroic Spirit Karna's Noble Phantasm—[Brahmastra].
Unlike the God-Slaying Spear that Shirou had projected before, [Brahmastra] was a special Noble Phantasm.
Its original form was a sword, but in Karna's hands, it took the form of a spear.
As a special Noble Phantasm, it could concentrate the holder's heat attribute and flames onto this long spear and transform its form!
The most unique point was that this weapon itself could amplify the user's flames. The stronger the flame, the more it could further amplify the power of the Noble Phantasm!
It was precisely because of this that Shirou chose to project this Noble Phantasm as the key to deciding the outcome of this battle!
In an instant, Shirou put away the projected sword in his hand, turned to face the divine-powered monster of the Sea God Poseidon, and suddenly raised his right hand.
"Boom!!"
Searing flames instantly formed in his hand.
Under the astonished gaze of the people on the island and the gods on Babel, the flames turned into a blazing sun that swallowed the sky, as if it were about to ignite the entire island.
Since the Heroic Spirit Karna was the legitimate son of the Sun God, he was also known as the "Little Sun."
Now that Shirou had projected Karna's Noble Phantasm, it was as if a second blazing sun had appeared in the sky, beginning to burn madly and swallow everything!
"Brahmastra Kundala!"
As the projection reached its limit, a long spear completely composed of flames condensed in Shirou's hand.
Shirou did not immediately swing this weapon. Instead, he first used the Projection Charge ability to absorb as much knowledge as possible from this weapon, as well as the combat skills of the Heroic Spirit Karna himself.
If it were the Shirou of the past, he would definitely not be able to project the creation of a child of a god, let alone absorb the opponent's combat knowledge.
But now, Shirou himself was a demigod. Let alone absorbing the Authority and power of a demigod, even if it were a true god, if he could project it, he could similarly seize its power!
And after fully comprehending the power of this Undying Spear, Shirou further understood how to use it.
He discovered that unlike the standard version of [Brahmastra], the Undying Spear had a second special method of use, called [Brahmastra Kundala].
This was to push the power of the Undying Spear completely beyond its limit, further expanding the effective range of the Anti-Army and Anti-Country Noble Phantasm Brahmastra (Undying Spear), which already had a vast attack range.
It was a glow even hotter than a nuclear weapon, a radiance that could truly be called the second sun!
Now, Shirou was about to release this radiance to swallow the divine power and shoot down the Sea God!
"O' Brahma, Curse Me!"
The moment Shirou raised the long spear, the flames seemed to ignite the firmament. Even before the spear was swung, the sea began to recede on its own, and the seawater on the surface of the sea was directly evaporated!
"Boom!"
The divine-powered monster, with the Sea God Poseidon at its core, seemed to instinctively sense the threat in the distance.
It subconsciously began to retreat, wanting to avoid this unprecedented attack, but found that no matter what, it could not escape the lock-on of the Divine Spear.
The reason was simple: [Brahmastra Kundala: O' Brahma, Curse Me] was a wide-area Noble Phantasm for ranged attack.
After it was thrown, it would generate a wide-area blast covering a radius of 90 units, with an actual lethality equivalent to the ultimate power of an Anti-Army class Noble Phantasm.
No matter where Poseidon's divine-powered monster fled, this fatal spear would catch up to its location and completely pierce through its body!
However, the Heavenly God Ouranos clearly wouldn't just let Shirou annihilate a precious divine-powered monster like this.
Just as Shirou's long spear was about to be released, a crescent moon suddenly appeared in the sky—
For a moment, an extremely strange phenomenon occurred on Orsa Island.
That was the appearance of two suns and a moon in the sky above the island, achieving a supernatural spectacle that should have been impossible in reality!
