The Giant Elephant and the Shadow Servants were still holding back Mahoraga, while Eichi in the back intently observed every change on the battlefield, making appropriate responses as quickly as possible.
The Cursed Energy stored in the Holy Grail was continuously being drawn out by Eichi to compensate for his Cursed Energy consumption.
Another Shadow Servant, Archer, was summoned.
Suddenly, Eichi felt his Cursed Energy consumption sharply increase by a large margin.
A hint of a smile appeared on Eichi's lips.
The moment of the decisive battle had arrived.
The next second, Eichi took a deep breath and then vanished into the darkness.
The chaotic battle in the arena continued.
Mahoraga's powerful adaptability allowed it to go from being suppressed at the beginning to now being at ease.
It was believed that it wouldn't be long before Mahoraga could adapt to and overcome the current situation.
However, Eichi would not give Mahoraga that chance.
Finding an opportunity, Eichi emerged from the Berserker's shadow.
Eichi, who appeared suddenly, held nothing back, and his right leg, strengthened by Cursed Energy, kicked Mahoraga's calf with full force.
Black Flash!
Crack.
The sound of bones cracking rang out.
But it was Eichi's.
Intense pain came from his foot, but under the effect of the Reverse Cursed Technique, the injury to his foot quickly recovered.
Eichi's attack worked; Mahoraga, struck suddenly in the calf, staggered and lost its balance.
Lancer stepped forward, thrusting the spear in his hand with full force towards Mahoraga's right shoulder.
Mahoraga brandished the Sword of Exorcism, but Lancer showed no sign of dodging.
The spearhead pierced Mahoraga's shoulder; it was clear that Lancer, with only Grade 1 strength, was not enough to injure Mahoraga.
The Sword of Exorcism cut into Lancer's body, but because of its loss of balance, it couldn't exert force well and failed to cut Lancer in half.
Whoosh.
A pitch-black arrow struck Mahoraga's right shoulder, causing the skin on Mahoraga's shoulder to dent inward.
Whoosh.
A second arrow followed closely, striking the tail of the first arrow.
Puff.
A tiny wound, not even a minor injury, appeared on Mahoraga's shoulder.
Lancer immediately followed up.
Following that tiny wound, Lancer successfully pierced the spear into Mahoraga's right shoulder joint, breaking through a small point to affect a larger area.
The spearhead jammed Mahoraga's joint, making it difficult for Mahoraga to exert force with its right hand.
Then Lancer directly embraced Mahoraga's right hand.
Eichi returned behind the Giant Elephant through the shadow.
Eichi, having regained his stance, raised his right hand, marked with a Command Seal, and Cursed Energy surged as he began to summon.
At the same time, Berserker seized the opportunity, gripping his axe-sword with both hands and bringing it down with full force towards Mahoraga's left arm.
Puff.
Under Berserker's full-power attack, burning Cursed Energy, the axe-sword cut into Mahoraga's left arm.
But it only cut in.
Because Mahoraga had already adapted to slashes.
In the previous battle with Toji, Mahoraga had already completed its adaptation to slashes.
Although Berserker's slash contained Cursed Energy and differed from Toji's slash, it still fell within the category of slashes.
Therefore, the damage caused by Berserker's full-power strike was very small.
Although the damage was small, the immense force from Berserker's full-power strike once again interrupted Mahoraga's attempt to regain balance.
Mahoraga exerted force, and the foot that Eichi had kicked off the ground earlier stomped heavily onto the ground.
Mahoraga began to stabilize its center of gravity.
Eichi's initial command, to not give Mahoraga any chance to breathe, was faithfully executed by the Giant Elephant.
The Giant Elephant used its two front legs to lift its upper body off the ground.
Then the Giant Elephant charged its body towards Mahoraga.
The Cursed Energy within Eichi's body began to pour out frantically and recklessly, and the Cursed Energy stored in the Holy Grail for many years surged into Eichi's body like a floodgate opening.
Under the impact of the rampant Cursed Energy, Eichi's body endured immense pressure.
Ding.
The wheel on Mahoraga's head rotated; this time, Mahoraga adapted to the Giant Elephant's strength.
Unable to interfere with Mahoraga through brute force, the Giant Elephant raised its trunk and began to gather strength.
At the same time, Berserker abandoned the weapon in his hand, grabbed Mahoraga's left hand, and pulled it back forcefully, intending to pull Mahoraga down.
However, Mahoraga, having adapted to the Giant Elephant's strength, was not significantly affected.
Mahoraga's powerful recovery ability completed the healing of its shoulder injury, and Lancer's spear fell to the ground.
The figure of a Heroic Spirit appeared before Eichi.
A massive amount of Cursed Energy was instantly output and then instantly replenished.
The huge flow of Cursed Energy crashed through Eichi's body like a flood.
Eichi's body, unable to bear it, began to burst with blood.
Splat.
Mahoraga's Sword of Exorcism in its right arm struck Lancer again; the immense force, which even the Archer's arrows could not stop, caused Lancer to withdraw from the fight.
However, as Mahoraga dealt with Lancer, the Piercing Ox arrived.
A terrifying attack, after being charged, struck Mahoraga's waist, and Berserker also vanished at this moment.
The long-distance charge gave the Piercing Ox immense power, and Mahoraga was knocked dozens of meters away by this collision from the Piercing Ox.
The sharp ox horns pierced Mahoraga's body, and powerful force was transmitted into Mahoraga's body through the horns.
Although Mahoraga's body was not broken by the impact, the immense force caused a great deal of damage to Mahoraga's internal spine and other parts.
Mahoraga, with its waist injured, temporarily lost control of its lower body.
Because Eichi had previously attacked Mahoraga with the Piercing Ox in earlier battles, Eichi was actually prepared for this strike from the Piercing Ox to be fruitless.
However, fortunately, this strike still had some effect.
After all, last time Mahoraga had too many things to adapt to, and the Piercing Ox's attack, which only appeared once, was not among the highest priorities for adaptation.
Moreover, Eichi canceled the Taming Ritual shortly after the Piercing Ox's attack, so it was not surprising that Mahoraga, being shut down and awaiting its next summon, did not complete its adaptation to the Piercing Ox's attack.
The Giant Elephant also completed its charge at this moment, catching up and beginning to release water blades with full force.
Unlike the usual wide-ranging, flood-like attacks, this attack consisted of compressed, small water blades.
Although Eichi did not understand water-related Techniques.
However, with Blood Manipulation as a reference, some simple methods of use were still easy to employ.
The water blades began to cut at Mahoraga's right hand, attempting to disable the Sword of Exorcism, which dealt higher damage.
Unfortunately, Mahoraga's defense was too high, and the water blades, charged by the Giant Elephant for only a few seconds, were insufficient to cut through Mahoraga's flesh.
However, at least the water blade attack caused Mahoraga's Sword of Exorcism, which was striking at the Piercing Ox, to veer off by a few degrees.
The Piercing Ox was not to be outdone, opening its large mouth to bite Mahoraga's waist and tear forcefully, preventing Mahoraga from recovering from its waist injury.
The young girl in front of Eichi, Artoria, raised the longsword in her hand.
Golden magical energy surrounded Artoria, and the radiance on the longsword in Artoria's hand continuously gathered.
"By Command Seal, Saber, release your Noble Phantasm with full power."
"Again by Command Seal, Saber, annihilate the enemy before you."
"Finally, by Command Seal, Saber, bring me victory!"
Three Command Seals instantly vanished, and the golden radiance surged, illuminating the entire world; night instantly became like day.
Ding, the wheel rotated, and Mahoraga completed its adaptation to the Giant Elephant's water blades.
Eichi finally had enough energy to begin healing his blood-soaked body with the Reverse Cursed Technique.
Mahoraga sensed the immense threat not far away.
Its left hand delivered a full-force punch to the Piercing Ox's head.
Crack.
The sound of a skull cracking rang out, and the Piercing Ox was instantly severely wounded by Mahoraga.
Eichi canceled the Piercing Ox's summon, preventing the Piercing Ox from being completely destroyed.
At the same time, he took out a new Heroic Spirit chess piece, preparing to fill the Piercing Ox's vacancy.
Mahoraga's waist injury rapidly recovered after the Piercing Ox disappeared, and its lower body, which had been uncontrollable due to the waist injury, began to regain sensation.
The Giant Elephant's trunk and snake tail attacked Mahoraga's arms from left and right.
After the Piercing Ox disappeared, Mahoraga rotated its body, and the Sword of Exorcism in its right hand drew a massive sword light.
This strike simultaneously severed the Giant Elephant's trunk and the head of the great snake on its snake tail.
The Giant Elephant used its final means, pressing forward recklessly to suppress Mahoraga, whose lower body was still unable to exert force.
But this did not cause any trouble for Mahoraga, who had already adapted to the Giant Elephant's strength.
Mahoraga swung its arms repeatedly, its iron-like fists leaving wounds all over the Giant Elephant's body, and the Sword of Exorcism continuously left hideous gashes on the Giant Elephant's head.
A golden chess piece in Eichi's hand transformed into a pitch-black figure and flew into the sky, its robes spreading out into wings.
The Black Divine Dog materialized from spirit form and bit Mahoraga's leg, only to be kicked away by Mahoraga.
The moment the figure flew into the air, Eichi canceled the Giant Elephant's summon.
Whether for Shikigami or Cursed Spirits, the head is a very important part.
Eichi was worried that the Giant Elephant, constantly being struck in the head by Mahoraga, would be completely destroyed.
"Jade Hounds!"
Eichi formed the Jade Hounds hand sign.
And beside Eichi, Artoria's longsword was already raised high.
In just a few seconds of battle, the Grade 1 strength Black Divine Dog, two Grade 1 strength Shadow Servants, and two Special Grade strength Chimeras were all defeated by Mahoraga.
And Mahoraga had completed several adaptations.
But Eichi did not panic, for the moment of victory had arrived.
Sensing the immense destructive attack ahead, Mahoraga used its legs to leap into the air.
If the attack could not be stopped, then escape its coverage area.
At this moment, a pitch-black figure appeared silently.
The Black Divine Dog was like a black lightning bolt, and its sharp claws landed on Mahoraga's body just as Mahoraga leaped up.
Due to the Black Divine Dog's powerful stealth ability, Mahoraga had already approached quite close by the time it sensed the Black Divine Dog's presence.
At the same time, several pitch-black arrows also struck Mahoraga.
Mahoraga swung a punch at the Black Divine Dog.
The Black Divine Dog did not dodge, continuing its task of interfering with Mahoraga's movements.
The Semi-Special Grade strength Black Divine Dog was sent flying far away like a cannonball, but the Black Divine Dog's objective had been achieved.
The sudden attack greatly slowed Mahoraga, which was preparing to dodge Artoria's Noble Phantasm attack by moving, and another attack also descended at this moment.
The magician who flew into the sky released Cursed Energy with full force.
There was no intricate manipulation, no varied Techniques, just a simple, almost self-destructive, continuous barrage of Cursed Energy cannons unleashed upon Mahoraga.
The immense impact pushed Mahoraga, who had just left the ground and was interfered with by arrows and the Black Divine Dog, back down.
Mahoraga began to adapt again, but this time it ran out of time.
In front of Mahoraga, Artoria had already aimed at Mahoraga and swung the divine weapon in her hand with all her might.
"Excalibur!"
The hundred-meter distance vanished in an instant, a golden torrent enveloped Mahoraga's entire body, and the brilliant light, like stars, transformed into a towering pillar of light that rose from the ground.
The curtain was torn apart the moment it came into contact with the pillar of light.
The radiance belonging to King Arthur, Artoria, appeared in this world for the first time.
