Chapter 325 - Chapter 324: Achilles Says He's Not a Babysitter

The one to release their Noble Phantasm was, of course, not only here. The Master of the Black Faction, while lamenting that Mordred was simply an unkillable existence, had the chubby uncle, Siegfried's Master, unable to help but grit his teeth. He could feel his own magical energy being extracted in large quantities, and had even used a Command Spell to replenish Siegfried's magical energy.

Because of the promise made before, Karna, who had erupted with his full power in this battle, could be said to have suppressed Siegfried from the very beginning. A large amount of fire was constantly impacting him. Although Siegfried could use his own magical energy and treasured sword to cut through this fire, Karna's attack methods were truly numerous. With a light lift of his left palm, a red magical energy formed a large number of spears that surrounded Siegfried's head, and then bombarded downwards. The flames and explosions that were kicked up were simply like an unimaginable world war had broken out. The flames that shot up into the sky even illuminated half the sky. Even the surrounding cities could probably hear the sound of these explosions.

To deal with such an attack, Siegfried had to maintain the release of his Noble Phantasm. The armor on his body was also damaged in this battle, turning into specks of metal fragments, and then dissipating into the air. As a huge attack composed of magical energy fell from the sky, Karna, who was floating beside him, had an existence that looked like a sun discus—perhaps it could be called a shield—cover his front.

[O Sun, become my armor]!

Under this attack, the earth was once again continuously deforming.

Karna, who had blocked this attack, placed his right hand over his eyes. A true hero kills with his eyes!

[O Brahma, cover the earth]!

If Karna had been summoned as an Archer, then this Noble Phantasm would have been presented in the form of an attack. But now, it had appeared in the form of an eye beam. For his opponent, this must be an extremely difficult attack to defend against. After all, who would have thought that an opponent's eyes could also erupt with an Anti-Army Noble Phantasm?

However, relying on the Armor of Fafnir, which could defend against attacks below B-rank, and for attacks above B+, deduct the value below B-rank before calculating the damage, as well as his own powerful recovery ability, Siegfried managed to charge out from the cover of these raging flames, holding his sharp blade.

The dragon-slaying treasured sword and the golden spear of the sun clashed once again.

Karna, in turn, used the force of this slash to retreat, and raised the golden sun spear in his hand. "[O Brahma, curse my body!]"

The golden spear, wrapped in flames, bombarded forward like a falling meteorite. However, what responded to this Noble Phantasm release was, naturally, Siegfried's Noble Phantasm release. "[Balmung!]—"

As everyone knows, unlike a Holy Grail War, a Great Holy Grail War is basically a demolition project. The battle on the first night had already changed the terrain. Now, the battle near the Yggdmillennia castle would change it once again. Let's not even mention the Yggdmillennia castle, which had already been somewhat deformed after suffering the aftershocks of multiple Noble Phantasms. The ground nearby had already had one trench after another carved into it by the one-after-another of Noble Phantasm attacks. The Yggdmillennia castle, which was originally on high ground, would probably be on a cliff after this battle.

And look at the place not far away where the two had just been fighting. The flames were still burning, evaporating the constantly gushing groundwater. But as soon as these flames were extinguished, these trenches that had been carved out would become lakes. Even a saturation bombing changing the terrain would not be as fast as the battle between these two.

The Little Sun adjusted his posture in mid-air. The Sun Armor once again blocked in front of him. Because Siegfried had performed continuous Noble Phantasm releases, in the Yggdmillennia castle, the chubby uncle was already drenched in sweat. This battle between Heroic Spirits had consumed a great deal of his physical and magical energy.

He would probably lose a dozen pounds after today. Fortunately, such a clash would probably only be encountered once in a lifetime. Sooner or later, it would wring him dry. Looking at the Command Spell on the back of his hand that he had just used again, this uncle gritted his teeth.

Everything was truly more unexpected than they had imagined. The development of all events was different from the various plans he had thought of before. Man's plans are inferior to heaven's. In the end, it had still come to this. And now, having already used two Command Spells, he had no way back. All he could do now was fight to the death. He just didn't know if the enemy had used a Command Spell like him...

If this chubby uncle were to learn that in all the battles so far, Karna had not used a Command Spell enhancement, this uncle might have an existential crisis.

"Is this still not enough to decide the winner? It seems that to deal with you, this is not enough. So, to strike you down, I need a blow of absolute destructive power! This is also my respect for you!"

A Noble Phantasm that can only be used once per summoning!

Don't equate the attack that can be released as long as the NP gauge is full in the FGO game with this attack!

Turning all his defense into attack, the golden armor would disappear, and his immortality would naturally also vanish. Turning everything into a single god-killing spear. This was a blow that, besides high-level barrier-type Noble Phantasms, not even a god could block. It was an existence for which there was no original prototype even in the protection of the King of Heroes.

At the same time, the stripping of the golden armor was also like tearing off a layer of skin from his body. This pain, and the fact that he could no longer use the Sun Armor for defense afterwards, and the act of casting aside his own immortality—everything was a show of respect for Siegfried!

At this moment, the sky turned into day. Karna was the sole sun in this sky!

The chubby uncle, upon seeing this situation, raised his own hand. Just now, he had accused Caules of using up all his Command Spells, but he had not expected that he would have to do the same now. Fate really does turn the tables. "Siegfried! Release your Noble Phantasm with all your might!"

Karna raised the spear in his hand. In front of that sun spear, raging flames were burning, forming a huge black spearhead. Directly below Karna, the earth began to melt, like lava. A light like a ruby was constantly flashing. A sea of fire covered the earth. His white hair, due to the rising heat, floated upwards.

"Then, for the strongest rival in my second life, with the highest respect, I offer this strike!"

In the forest, Achilles, who was resting against a tree trunk, widened his eyes. He had originally been preparing to retract his own, partially damaged [Akhilleus Kosmos]. But if he retracted it now, this whole area, along with the surrounding cities, would probably be affected.

Seeing this, Achilles could only shout helplessly, "So why do I always have to wipe my own side's asses!!"
