The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

"So it really is me?"

Her sleeves blocked the spear, and Orpheus's eyes met Scáthach's.

The next moment, the meteor arrow landed where the two had met, but Orpheus and Scáthach had both vanished from their original spot.

Boom!

With the deafening roar of Arash's shot and explosion, countless purple beams of light rained down from the sky, sweeping across the surrounding area.

At the same time, the giant fireball formed by Rune magic retaliated mercilessly.

The two figures clashed amidst the gunfire and then separated in the blink of an eye. Among them, Scáthach covered the scorch marks on her abdomen and frowned slightly.

"In a spellcasting battle, would an opponent with the Caster class have an advantage?"

El-Melloi took all of this in view and quickly analyzed it in his mind.

Having forced Scáthach back, Orpheus had no chance to catch his breath.

The flashes of swords and blades appeared simultaneously as Gan Jiang, Mo Xie, and the Holy Sword slashed down at Orpheus.

Orpheus narrowed his eyes slightly, and a purple spell unfolded above his head, shooting down countless tiny beams of light.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang───

The violent explosion and smoke engulfed the three of them at the same time, but in the next moment, Orpheus appeared in the air dozens of meters away.

Although Ouroboros's ability to traverse space is already restricted, as a Caster, she has no difficulty performing a magic-like technique called spatial teleportation.

At that moment, a shadow loomed over Orpheus.

"I'm so sorry for using a sneak attack... but please take this blow!"

"……useless."

Orpheus's body suddenly became illusory, and the next second, a blue light passed through it.

"Did it not hit the target...?"

Siegfried muttered to himself, but his expression showed no surprise.

"Based on the previous data, is the time one second...?"

El-Melloi's expression hardened.

"Please."

"Leave it to me!"

Arash, an unorthodox archer, had somehow entered the battlefield and fired several arrows at once.

Even though we got closer, there wasn't enough time.

Orpheus made this judgment.

At that moment, Artoria suddenly ran in front of Arash and then turned around to thrust out an invisible sword.

No, what she stabbed was...

"Roar, Invisible Air!"

A violent storm swept out, engulfing Arash's arrows and accelerating them to their maximum speed.

Orpheus's pupils contracted slightly, and for the first time, the hand holding the Chains of Heaven moved.

Clang──

But it's meaningless.

The combination of the Wind King's Barrier and Arash's all-out attack could even penetrate Ramses II's pyramid. Compared to that, the Chains of Heaven, which can only target divinity, are far too fragile.

With a crisp metallic sound, the Chains of Heaven were pierced through along with Orpheus's body.

"Well……"

With his left hand and right abdomen severed, Orpheus finally frowned.

The attack did not stop there. With a burst of blue light, the dragon-slaying warrior placed the greatsword that had once killed the dragon at his waist.

"Fantasy Greatsword? Balmung!"

A strike capable of slaying a dragon would undoubtedly pose a considerable threat to Orpheus, who is merely a Servant.

Just then, a suit of armor radiating black energy suddenly appeared beside Orpheus and reached out to grab the Chains of Heaven.

"If you choose to resist Balmuk, then Lancelot will control the Chains of Heaven and use them to bind you. If you choose to preserve the Chains of Heaven, then the next second your body will be pierced by the Dragon Slayer Sword."

Seeing this, Elmello clenched his fist and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"What will you choose, King of Heroes of Uruk?"

"Is this your strategy?"

In mid-air, Orpheus regained his expressionless demeanor.

"It's...not bad, I guess."

The hand gripping the Chains of Heaven tightened, and the next second, the chains that were originally scattered in the air suddenly turned into golden light and gathered together to wrap around Orpheus's hand, while also avoiding Lancelot's grab.

Indeed, this strategy is quite good. If nothing unexpected happens, Orpheus will at least be caught off guard for a while.

However, the Lock of Heaven is never a burden!

He changed direction, and the palm wrapped in golden light faced Balmk's sword light.

"Son of man, cling to God (Enuma Elish)."

The chains transformed into a spear, piercing through layers of sword light, completely ignoring Siegfried's impenetrable defenses, and penetrating the heart of the dragon-slaying warrior.

"If I were to use it, its power would be significantly reduced, but since it has the attribute against dragons, that can make up for it. You have worked very hard, warrior who has once been bathed in dragon blood."

The dragon goddess's expression did not change after killing another opponent; she simply turned around and landed lightly on the ground.

"It's not over yet!"

Siegfried's elimination was unexpected, but there was no time for mourning.

Because of the successive attacks, Orpheus's wound from Arash's attack had not fully healed, meaning she would still be somewhat clumsy at this moment.

We must seize this opportunity!

"Even though they are fakes, you should still have a good taste of these anti-dragon swords!"

The red archers also launched their attacks one after another.

"A feeble attack."

The rain of swords that rose from the wilderness and fell toward Orpheus was intercepted by the Noble Phantasms that shot out at high speed from the Royal Treasury; not a single one could break through the blockade.

"So how about this move?"

boom!!!

The meteor-like arrows pierced through the gap between the two Noble Phantasms in the blink of an eye, striking the defensive spell that Orpheus had instantly deployed in front of him.

At the same time, the Lock of Heaven, which had just been retrieved, rose into the air, forming a dense silver net that blocked all of Arash's incoming arrows.

"This is the first time you've defended head-on, King of Heroes."

As the dust settled, the first thing the Dragon God's daughter saw was the Knight King charging forward at high speed, unleashing his magic.

“Oath (Ex) ───”

The image of golden ripples was reflected in Orpheus's narrowed eyes, and his newly recovered left hand had already grasped the hilt of the sword Ea.

However, it was too late.

The part of his left hand below the elbow was directly severed by the Star Holy Sword, and at the same time, the Knight King's firm emerald eyes were reflected in Orpheus's eyes.

What Artoria saw was Orpheus's slightly upturned lips.

The holy sword that had just been slashed down changed direction and slashed upwards towards Orpheus's body.

If hit, that petite body would be cut in two.

However, this attack failed.

The teleportation spell was activated once again, and Orpheus was no longer in the same spot.

However, the holy sword's edge shifted once more.

Without even confirming, Artoria followed her intuition and swung the star-infused blade in the direction she believed was right.

"—The Sword of Victory (Calibur)!"

Chapter 174 The Name of the End

"Calibur, the Sword of Victory"

Light is flowing, light is roaring.

As soon as Orpheus revealed himself, the radiance of the holy sword swept towards him.

"This level..."

Orpheus extended his palm once more toward the golden beam of light.

"Caught!"

But at that moment, he finally found an opportunity and Elmero squeezed with one hand.

"Qimen Dunjia? Eight Gates Golden Lock!"

With El-Melloi's current abilities, he absolutely cannot use two Stone Formations at the same time. In other words, this activation will inevitably require dispelling the Stone Formation outside the barrier.

If we fail, the difficulty of this encirclement and suppression operation will increase exponentially!

No, with Siegfried out of the game, they had almost no direct means of killing Orpheus. In other words, if they didn't want to drag him out until his magic was depleted at an unknown time, they had no choice but to find their own weapons!

While many of the Noble Phantasms that Orpheus usually unleashes are of a fairly high level, they do very little damage to herself when they cannot be released. However, there is one weapon that is different.

It was originally created to counterbalance the King of Heroes, and to keep the wedge tightly bound to the gods.

It was extremely risky... El-Melloi knew it very well.

Whether it's the danger of Orpheus's powers fully returning after the Stone Soldier Formation outside the barrier is broken, or her own reaction...
