Skadi, returning to infinity

Failure to complete the task will not only result in the deduction of 100,000 units of willpower, but will also bring serious consequences.

But they're gone, and Skadi, who received the mission from Alaya to destroy the Holy Grail, has to face it herself.

It really is...

Is this a case of karma coming its way, or is it simply that the better the reward, the harder the task?

No wonder she gave herself such a generous reward; this thing was not something she could easily deal with.

"Master, release the barrier and let us do it."

"You might not be able to handle it by yourself."

Regardless of her inner thoughts, upon seeing Skadi facing the Holy Grail Dragon, who was clearly much stronger than her, Artoria immediately entered battle mode.

Holding the invisible Wind King Barrier in her hand, she rushed in front of the barrier, wanting Skadi to release it.

"Lady Skadi!" Medea was even more anxious. She stood in front of the barrier and used her [All-Encompassing Law Breaker] to stab at the barrier.

However, her Noble Phantasm has absolutely no effect on non-magical barriers, let alone this particular barrier, which is a special type that cannot be...

It's the type that's easily destroyed.

So no matter how hard she tried, she could only watch helplessly as Skadi was suppressed by the dragon.

"Boom boom boom~" Inside the barrier, Skadi was completely forced into a defensive stance.

Before her, the dragon's tentacles were so arrogant, stabbing down at her body without giving her any chance to fight back.

If it weren't for her relatively strong defenses, those tentacles would probably have pierced her through.

The sounds of collisions echoed within the barrier. Outside, the Black Knight, realizing he couldn't enter, went berserk, brandishing a long spear and charging repeatedly at the barrier.

past.

But apart from the sound of the collision, there was no ripple.

Even their attacks on the barrier couldn't produce a single spark.

"Haha, let me help you."

Iskandar leaped down from the sky; he had been watching the show, but the scene now ignited his passion.

Last time, we were unable to deal with that powerful, unknown being, allowing Skadi to steal the spotlight.

This dragon fascinated him so much that he wanted to conquer it and show the world what the once mighty king who conquered Eurasia had become.

came back.

"It would be a very bad thing to damage my things."

Gilgamesh originally considered the Holy Grail to be his own, and that no one could destroy it.

But because of Skadi, and because of the deal with her, Skadi is now the one who "belongs" to him in his eyes.

Of course, the girl would never admit it or let him have his way, but that's what he thinks, so there's nothing that can be done about it.

Anyway, once she destroys the Holy Grail, Gilgamesh can do whatever he wants with it, and that won't concern her anymore.

"Wait, trust her."

However, when Gilgamesh was about to make a move, Tokiomi Tohsaka stopped him.

"Hmm? Are you dissatisfied with her?"

She frowned slightly. Was this person still upset with Skadi because of what she had done, which was why he remained unmoved even when she was in danger?

"no.

He shook his head, Tokiomi Tohsaka's eyes were very serious.

"Skadi isn't one to act recklessly. The fact that she hasn't canceled the barrier means she's not at her wit's end and still has the confidence to defeat this..."

A vicious dragon.

"Moreover... this dragon's aura seems weaker than that of the unknown entity in downtown Fuyuki."

"Perhaps Skadi still has the ability to solve it."

Tokiomi Tohsaka seems to have confidence in Skadi, and of course, he also has to have confidence in Skadi.

Otherwise, he didn't know what would happen to his daughter and wife in the future.

"Have you ever considered that it's not that she doesn't want to break the barrier, but that she can't break it on her own initiative?"

Gilgamesh gave a strange smile and said those words.

......Um?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka's eyes widened; this really was possible.

"so....

Just as Gilgamesh was about to intervene, making a miraculous rescue, Skadi, who had been guarding the barrier, suddenly...

changed.

"I'm telling you... why did you have to become... a dragon..."

A murmured sound came, and the Holy Grail Dragon, which had been extremely ferocious just moments before, cowered as if it had encountered some natural enemy.

"I was wondering when this thing would come in handy, but I never expected it to be useful now."

Skadi's voice came with a laugh, as if the suppression she had just experienced had never happened.

"Um?"

The people around them stopped and stared blankly at Skadi.

Seeing that she had deactivated the [Surging Elegy] state, revealing a body that seemed to have no defenses, they all became worried.

Despite her cool demeanor, can she really handle the situation so easily?

"Dragon-type creatures are indeed powerful."

"But precisely because they are powerful, they are targeted in specific ways, just like gods and demons."

"I have always been on guard against enemies who have dragon blood or abilities."

“I’ve encountered this before, but he was too weak and not worthy of me using this.”

"Now that I see you, you are in the form of a dragon, and you also have the attributes of magic and darkness. You are covered in negative buffs to me."

"Although it will take some effort, being able to take you down should be a happy thing."

Some of Skadi's words were understandable to others, while others were not.

I don't know what she really means.

The only thing that was clear was that Skadi seemed to have a way of dealing with this guy?

"It became fearful, and things started to get interesting. Truly worthy of being my beloved consort..."

Gilgamesh looked at the Grail Dragon, who was beginning to show fear, and then at Skadi, who showed no fear whatsoever.

Although he couldn't understand some of Skadi's words, he understood the general meaning.

This dragon was actually no match for Skadi.

The reason she didn't act just now was simply to test its strength in order to decide how to deal with it.

Now that she has finally determined its capabilities and weaknesses, she is ready to fight back.

"Dragon..." With the heart of the red dragon, Artoria can be considered to have half of the dragon bloodline.

So when Skadi emanated an aura that would terrify any dragon, her eyes widened.

"I wouldn't call myself a dragon slayer, but I've killed everything from world-destroying black dragons to earth dragons crawling on the ground."

"This is thanks to a special ability I have with dragons..."

Skadi floated up, standing proudly in the air, facing the Grail Dragon, and spoke these words.

As she spoke, she shone with a deep blue light.

These rays of light formed a sacred dragon race with an oriental body but two pairs of wings, resembling the sky dragon of Osris.

It surrounded Skadi's body, giving her an aura that could oppress the souls of dragons.

"What kind of dragon is this...?"

Everyone present stared in astonishment at the dragon on Skadi's body; they had no idea what kind of dragon it was.

But this dragon gave them the feeling that Skadi could control the life and death of all dragons.

"What kind of dragon is that?"

At this moment, Rize Kamishiro, Kurumi Tokisaki, and Muzan Kibutsuji, who were observing from the shadows, were also curious.

They are agents and are no strangers to dragons.

The dragon on Koskadi's body was truly beyond their imagination.

Just as everyone was stunned, Skadi raised her hand.

In an instant, dark clouds filled the sky, and a vortex quickly formed.

Dark purple lightning flashed, carrying an aura of world destruction.

In particular, that kind of destruction that strikes directly at the soul of the dragon race...

P.S.: I wasn't feeling well yesterday because I didn't update. I had written 4,000 words, but I promised to end the Type-Moon universe, so I didn't post it.

Then today I received a text message from the city informing me that I must get vaccinated.

I was worried that getting vaccinated would affect my updates, but now I have no choice but to go.

Then, after getting the vaccine and coming back, I felt completely deflated and in very poor spirits.

There's really no other way but to post this chapter first.

Let's see if I'm back to my usual self tomorrow. If I am, I'll finish this volume. Otherwise, I'll wait a bit longer, until Monday at the latest.

Then I'll finally have time to post the maid outfit tomorrow, thank you everyone~~
