—BOOM!
The shockwave of the explosion ripped through the air.
Heracles's massive body gave the impression of slow movement, but his limbs were incredibly agile.
Even without his reason, driven by his body's instincts, he was able to effortlessly dodge the blast wave from Arthur's Invisible Air.
But just as the frenzied figure dodged the King of Knights' attack and swung his axe-sword in a counter, Aozaki Rin, spear in hand, had already charged in from the other side.
His feet, enhanced by magical energy, stomped on the ground, launching his body forward and cracking the road surface.
The dozens of "paper cones" spinning around him shot towards Heracles's body along with the ghostly thrust of his spear.
A savage roar filled the air. Heracles instantly changed the direction of his axe-sword's swing, slashing at the incoming spear tip and "paper cones."
However, unexpectedly, after the axe-sword and spear collided, a violent explosion erupted first from the "paper cones."
Aozaki Rin jerked his spear to pull his body back, taking the opportunity to snap the fingers of his other hand.
Beneath the dozens of flames that had already been produced, an even more violent explosion erupted, directly engulfing Heracles's figure and even catching the nearby Arthur in the blast.
But Rin knew it wasn't over. Sure enough, just as his retreating body landed, Heracles was the first to charge out of the smoke and dust of the explosion.
At the same time, a chaotic torrent of air also shot out from the flames, raging towards him.
He snapped his fingers again, transmuting the incoming air current into bone-chilling cold.
The reverse blast of cold air instantly froze the road surface and spread forward, freezing Heracles's legs and pausing him for a moment.
Aozaki Rin once again lowered his center of gravity and charged.
Under the night sky, the cloth-wrapped spear faintly flashed with a golden hue.
The young man's body was like a stream of light, flashing across the ice-covered road in an instant!
The spear instantaneously sliced past the figures of the two Servants on the field, leaving a humming sound in the air.
Then, with a sickening squelch.
Heracles's body, still in its forward-charging posture, had not had time to adjust. His entire arm, still holding the axe-sword, was severed without warning, sending a massive spray of blood into the air.
Arthur, who had been completely unable to react to that instantaneous attack, also had a spray of blood erupt from his shoulder.
What incredible speed on that thrust?! If his target had been me instead of Heracles, that last blow might have pierced my heart...
Knowing that Heracles's massive body had blocked most of the impact for him, causing the young man's thrust to deviate from its intended path, a chill ran down Arthur's spine. Reacting instantly, he closed the distance without hesitation, his holy sword slashing at the mask on Rin's face, who was now behind and to his side.
After all, creating distance would undoubtedly give his opponent an opportunity to gather power, and Arthur was not confident he would be so lucky a second time.
Meanwhile, Heracles, whose entire arm had been severed, did not fall. Instead, the muscles of his body grew even more robust. He violently pressed the severed arm back onto the wound, and it healed at an incredible speed. The berserker then attacked Rin with an even greater ferocity than before.
As I thought, trying to take them both out at once was too greedy. And my output just now wasn't enough...
Vaguely sensing that he had not yet unleashed the true power of the Spear of Longinus in his hand, Aozaki Rin shook his spear, blocking Arthur's holy sword. In the same breath, he unleashed nearly a hundred thrusts, clashing continuously with the wildly swinging axe-sword in Heracles's hand!
The three of them were instantly locked in a chaotic melee.
But anyone could see that although all three were attacking different opponents, in terms of frequency, it was more like Saber and Berserker were fighting the young man together.
However, despite the situation looking advantageous for him at a glance, Rin knew that this kind of explosive attack could only be sustained for a few seconds.
Sure enough, in the moment he took a breath, Arthur seized the opportunity to close in, his holy sword slashing up at Rin's chest, clearly intending to rip off his mask in the same motion. At the same time, the numerous spear wounds on Heracles's body were constantly healing, and the speed of his swinging axe-sword grew ever faster, as if playing a passionate symphony with the melody of spear and sword.
At that very moment, Aozaki Rin was forced to retreat.
With no time to snap his fingers, relying solely on his high-speed Magic Circuits, threads of magical energy pulled at the papers on the surrounding road.
The instant Rin chose to retreat, countless papers exploded in the air like a visual illusion, engulfing the figures of all three!
From the initial appearance of Lancer, to Berserker's later interference, and up to now... not even ten minutes had passed in total.
But in those short ten minutes, the entire warehouse district had been almost completely destroyed, utterly unrecognizable from its original state.
"Is this... the power of Servants?"
Irisviel raised a hand to shield her face, blocking the small stones flying everywhere from the explosions, her heart shaking with shock.
As the thick smoke from the explosion cleared, Aozaki Rin, Arthur, and Heracles had all retreated in different directions.
It was clear that Berserker's Master, observing from a distance, had now realized that Lancer was no ordinary foe, and had ordered the mindless Heracles to temporarily cease his assault, weighing whether the battle should continue.
But at that moment, after withstanding so many attacks, the cloth strips wrapped around the Spear of Longinus finally reached their limit.
As the dust-covered tatters scattered in the wind, a spear with a crimson shaft and a tip that faintly glowed with a golden light appeared in Aozaki Rin's hand, visible to all.
"That spear is... Longinus?! Are you truly Sir Percival?! No, that's not right. This seems different from the spear Sir Percival carried..."
Gazing at the weapon held by the young man standing on a lamppost not far away, a flash of shock appeared in Arthur's eyes.
He had personally seen the "Holy Spear" wielded by that noble knight under his command. But upon closer inspection, he felt that the "Holy Spear" in the young man's hand seemed to possess a... more majestic and profound power than the one he had seen before.
"Longinus? Isn't that the one who witnessed the execution of the Holy Son..."
Before Irisviel could even process her confusion as to why the Holy Grail War would summon such a figure, a clap of thunder suddenly tore through the air.
At the same time, a heroic and unrestrained laugh rang out.
"Hahaha! With so many great heroes gathered, wouldn't it be a pity to let someone withdraw so soon!"
"My True Name is Iskandar, and I have manifested in this Holy Grail War as Rider! This is the presence of the throne! Now, sheathe your weapons before this King!"
Amidst the roaring thunder, a magnificent chariot descended like lightning!
