The next second, the Crimson Star appeared in Orpheus's hand, and then, a storm that cleaved the heavens and earth swept towards the Conqueror King in the blink of an eye.

"Well?!"

Unprepared for Orpheus's ability to launch such an attack bare-handed, the Conqueror King's large, bell-like eyes widened, but he reacted quickly, leaping high from his chariot.

The next moment, the fierce wind pressure tore the chariot apart, and then, with undiminished momentum, carved a huge trench in the army behind it.

Orpheus, now serious, had no intention of letting Iskandar off so easily after he pulled Webber into the air. He swung his palm, with fingers together, from bottom to top at high speed.

Following Orpheus's movements, a golden blade of light, wreathed in crimson energy, flashed past and slashed directly at Iskandar.

"Drink!"

Although he couldn't move freely in the air, Iskandar was no pushover either, slashing down with his Sepulchre sword at the incoming attack.

Zi───

With a sharp metallic scraping sound, Iskandar was violently thrown back, and a huge nick appeared on the blade of the Cyprus Sword.

"Oh my god! It's not over yet!"

A black steed galloped out of the void and caught Iskandar as he fell from the sky.

The next second, Iskandar suddenly looked at Weber.

"Witness, and then live on."

"Rider, wait!"

Without giving Weber any chance, the Conqueror King released his subject and ordered his soldiers to forcibly take him to a safe area.

"This is our final charge. Do you feel any fear?!"

"Fearless! Fearless! Fearless!"

"That's right, she is the Hero King who can even defeat the gods, but we are fearless! Even if we die, we will leave our scars on her body! We will leave a mark of our existence on the world! Only then will there be glory there, all troops—attack!"

"kill!!!"

The charge of tens of thousands of people shook the earth, and the crowd surged forward like a tidal wave. But in the face of such a force, Orpheus smiled slightly.

She didn't understand Iskandar's way of conquering; in her view, it was simply unreasonable for a life to go to such lengths because of its own desires.

However, she could sense that the man known as the Conqueror King, who lived an honest and upright life in this world, truly deserved respect.

and so……

"I will give it my all."

The dragon god's maiden opened her arms, and Iskandar's entire army was instantly shrouded in shadow.

"Um?!"

Iskandar and his army raised their heads as they charged.

Then I saw it.

The purple sun was setting towards them.

That was a gigantic sphere whose volume encompassed the entire battlefield.

The surging heat could be felt even on the ground.

How much energy is contained within it? It's impossible to estimate.

But at the very least, they must possess the power to wipe out the king's army.

Even so... so what?!

"Ah la la la la la!!!"

No one in Wang Jun flinched or panicked; their warhorses moved even faster, and Iskandar focused all his attention on the girl before him.

Three hundred meters...

The scorching energy grew increasingly intense, and many soldiers in the army had already dissipated because they could not withstand it.

Two hundred meters...

The sun seemed to be pressing down on them, and most of the army had already fallen, but even so, Iskandar continued to ride at full speed.

Fifty meters...

The war mount, which served as a Noble Phantasm, collapsed under the intense heat, but Iskandar, whose physical body was far inferior to that of his Noble Phantasm, rose again.

Is anyone still following behind? Or is there no one left?

Iskandar was unaware of this; he simply kept running.

Glory is within reach.

Thirty meters...

The sun set below the horizon.

Boom!!!

An energy burst forth, and blazing purple flames swept across the entire battlefield in the blink of an eye.

The king's army and Ritsuka and the others who were attacking the dragon and snake were all swallowed up.

This is a power that can turn the tide of battle with a single strike; even the tens of thousands of minions of the Creator Mother Goddess were once swept away by this one strike.

That's right, with the King's Army positioned at the center, absolutely no one could survive this attack.

Even without using the Omniscient and Omnipotent Star, the Dragon God Girl, who was also engulfed in flames yet unharmed, could be so certain.

"it's over……"

The moment this conclusion was formed in his mind, the flames in front of Orpheus were broken open.

"Hey, thanks to the thrust of that explosion, King of Heroes."

Iskandar, his body radiating scattered particles, his left hand and lower body gone, leaving only half a body, grinned at Orpheus and fiercely slashed down at Orpheus with the longsword in his hand that had been melted beyond recognition.

"The aloof and disdainful god-king, I am now, but a mere human being—"

The Cyprus sword, carrying the last will, finally touched the fabric of Orpheus's robe.

"I touched you!"

Orpheus gently closed his eyes, a smile playing on his lips.

"That's really interesting."

With her hand on her shoulder, Orpheus's face revealed a smile that was different from the mask she wore before—a smile that came from the heart.

"No human being can survive in that energy for more than half a second without any defense. You came within thirty meters of it... I'll admit it, you are a respectable man worthy of my remembrance."

Opening her eyes, Orpheus slowly lowered the hand that had been pressing on her shoulder.

At this moment, there was no one around her.

Only a small sword mark on the shoulder of her robe testifies to the great deeds a man once accomplished.

Chapter 179 The Name of That Meteor

The ground was burning.

Forged by the Heroic Spirit Emiya, the Noble Phantasm, planted in the ground, was reduced to nothing by the scorching impact, and all living beings seemed to have perished under that attack that resembled the falling sun.

However, there is one piece of land that remains intact.

Just near the edge of the scorched earth, with a shield as the dividing line, a small patch of land behind it remained unchanged, untouched by any damage.

"Senior, and everyone else, are you alright?"

Even though her magic was nearly depleted and her body was overwhelmed, the girl who had just protected Chaldea was still most concerned about the people behind her.

"Ah, thanks to Mashu."

Ritsuka smiled and nodded, but at this moment, they couldn't waste the lives and time that Mashu had bought for them.

The Master Girl saw it very clearly just now; that huge sun was formed from the opening mouth of the dragon-serpent in the sky.

With that one smash, almost half of the existing barrier was swept away.

Ritsuka had only seen the tip of the iceberg of the monster in the sky, and for the sake of her own life, she did not want to see it any further.

While Orpheus is still engulfed in flames, Ritsuka decides to launch a powerful attack.

"I'm begging you all now!"

Clenching her fists, Ritsuka used all her magical power to strengthen the Heroic Spirit beside her.

However, the Conqueror King, who was originally able to buy time, is probably in grave danger. Can they achieve their goal before Orpheus recovers...?

"I'll hold off the King of Heroes, Master."

"Lily?!"

At this moment, the person who volunteered was beyond Ritsuka's expectations.

Mashu might be overconfident, while Scáthach seems the most suitable in Ritsuka's opinion, but Lily...

"Please trust me, Master."

Facing Lily's gaze, Ritsuka took a deep breath and nodded.

"Be extremely careful..."

Unlike other Servants, Lily is not a Servant derived from Mash's shield or Chaldea's mechanics, but rather a Servant summoned by Fujimaru Ritsuka as her Master. If she dies, she will truly return to the Throne of Heroes.

"Leave it to me!"

After leaving her final words, Lily ran off.

Gritting her teeth, without giving herself a moment to watch Lily leave, Ritsuka turned to look at the remaining Servants.

Mash, whose magic power is almost exhausted.

The Heroic Spirit Emiya had already exhausted all his strength just to maintain the Reality Marble.

Scáthach is covered in wounds from preventing Orpheus from using Ea, and has yet to recover.

And Arash, which is generally in good condition.
