"Let me be clear, I take things very seriously. Even though you are Isbel's daughters, I will not hold back."
Before the battle began, facing Arcueid and Altrouge, Morgan declared she would show no mercy.
"Domain of Darkness."
As surging magical energy took shape in her hands, an attack sharp as blades shot straight towards Arcueid and Altrouge.
"Marble Phantasm."
Creating substance through imagination, forging shields through will… the Marble Phantasm, a unique trait of the Planet, could only be used by the Earth King, Ryuya, and his two daughters.
Morgan's magical cannon shot towards the sky but failed to harm Arcueid and Altrouge in the slightest.
Exchanging a glance, Arcueid and Altrouge reached a tacit understanding. Their figures flickered as they flanked Morgan, preparing a surprise attack.
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing rang out, hard to imagine it was the result of magical collisions.
"You two haven't fought much, have you? Your intentions are too obvious."
Using magic to create a protective barrier, in Morgan's eyes, the attacks of Arcueid and the other were mere child's play.
The three exchanged blows back and forth. Although Arcueid and Altrouge were two, they held no advantage against Morgan. Ultimately, they were still too young.
"Nee-san!"
"Hmm."
Knowing their combat experience was far inferior to Morgan's, Arcueid continued to engage Morgan in close combat, but Altrouge withdrew from the immediate fray. Her form then shifted, the beautiful girl who moved like a waltz suddenly transforming into another appearance.
"Ancient Red."
Unlike Arcueid, who excelled at using Marble Phantasm, although this world's Altrouge had learned Marble Phantasm due to Ryuya's bloodline, one must not forget that Altrouge from other worlds was not set up to use Marble Phantasm.
Perhaps due to preference, Altrouge favored the skills of her mother, Crimson Moon, the contract of blood and spirit, also known as the second-stage transformation.
"Blood Control!"
Her golden hair and crimson eyes changed instantly. After the second-stage transformation, Altrouge's hair and eye color became black, just like Ryuya's.
"Crap..."
Caught by Altrouge's gaze, Morgan felt the blood throughout her body seem to solidify, her body unable to move.
Seeing Altrouge's surprise attack take effect, Arcueid seized the moment to launch a fierce assault, aiming directly for the wristband on Morgan's hand.
"You're quite capable, little girls."
Affected by the blood manipulation, Morgan's movements slowed considerably, only able to barely defend against Arcueid's onslaught.
Suddenly, Altrouge activated Blood Control again. This time... Morgan's body stiffened, clearly indicating Altrouge was using her full power.
"Good chance!"
Seeing Morgan completely stop moving, Arcueid directly aimed a kick at Morgan's wristband.
But at this critical moment, Morgan's body suddenly moved, a sharp hand-chop counterattacking Arcueid.
"What?"
Not expecting Morgan to be unaffected by the Blood Control, Arcueid retreated several steps.
"Quick reflexes."
Surrounded by surging and turbulent magical energy, Morgan had clearly used her powerful magic to dispel the petrification.
'These two girls... can't be underestimated.'
She initially thought that defeating the Brunestud Sisters would be a simple matter, but as the battle escalated, Morgan found the two girls quite troublesome, and could only sigh inwardly that they truly lived up to being daughters who inherited Ryuya's bloodline.
"We... will not lose!"
Letting out a light laugh, Arcueid used Marble Phantasm to create a large number of rocks in the air, while Altrouge continued to use Blood Control to hinder Morgan's movements.
Rumble...
Affected by the dust from the falling rocks, Morgan's vision was completely obscured.
Using the dust as cover, they quickly moved behind Morgan. Just as Altrouge prepared to attack...
"Excalibur... Proto!"
Somehow, the golden knight had arrived between the two.
Under Morgan's astonished gaze, Artoria swung her sword.
Boom!
With Artoria's full power, the damage from this strike was off the charts. The ground began to crack.
"Altrouge!"
Following Artoria, the Tyrant Nero, the King of Humans wielding Aestus Estus, also rushed over.
Pushing Altrouge aside, the two barely dodged Artoria's slash.
Stepping on the shattered rocks, Nero shouted to Arcueid and Altrouge, "Switch!"
"Understood..."
Understanding Nero's meaning, Arcueid and Altrouge ceased their attack on Morgan and instead began to engage Artoria in battle.
As for Morgan, Nero charged forward, swinging Aestus Estus at her.
Clearly, this was to swap opponents, separating Morgan and Artoria.
"Hmph."
Snorting coldly, Artoria's Excalibur slashed out frantically, magical energy being spent as if it were free.
But unlike Nero's fighting style, Arcueid and Altrouge used Marble Phantasm and Blood Control respectively, employing various methods to control Artoria.
"Umu..."
Unaccustomed to Arcueid and Altrouge's tactics, Artoria found herself at a disadvantage.
"Artoria!"
"Do you still have time to worry about your sister?"
After switching opponents, Nero held a slight advantage against Morgan.
Both were masters of magic, both top-tier combatants approaching the level of a Planetary Singularity. Nero's Aestus Estus, augmented by her status as the King of Humans, could easily shatter Morgan's elemental shields.
Several times, she nearly destroyed Morgan's wristband. The Tyrant's emerald eyes looked at Morgan, a constant smile playing on her face.
"Um... Lily, are you really not going to intervene?"
Outside the battlefield, those without combat ability had taken on the role of referees, such as Irisviel and Eriri.
Looking puzzled at Blue Artoria beside her, Irisviel didn't understand why the proper 3v3 had turned into a 2v3. She wondered if Blue Artoria was still on their side.
"Intervene? My combat style and coordination are vastly different from nee-san and my other self. My joining would actually decrease our combat effectiveness rather than increase it."
Unlike Artoria and Morgan, Blue Artoria's fighting style and compatibility differed greatly from theirs. Forcing them to fight together would be more like a 2v4 than a 3v3.
"Right now, it seems I can only wait until my elder sister or my other self is forced out of the battle, or until the battle lines are drawn further apart, before I can make a move."
Frowning slightly as she watched the other five on the field, Blue Artoria spoke.
