The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

"Is there any way...?"

With this lineup, how can we defeat that dragon-snake?

"If it were me, perhaps..."

At that moment, Scáthach suddenly spoke.

"However, the energy of that being is too powerful, and it needs to be weakened to the limit to achieve this."

"weaken……"

Ritsuka rubbed her temples.

It sounds simple, but Orpheus hasn't been weakened at all since the beginning of the game, has he?

Siegfried, who seemed to be the best at handling this situation, has already been defeated, and there's no one here who can inflict widespread damage.

"Hmm... I'll give it a try."

Just as Ritsuka was agonizing over her thoughts, a cheerful voice interrupted her.

"Mr. Arash?"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Ritsuka's expression changed.

"I haven't had many chances to show off before, so even I want to show off a little."

Ritsuka frowned, opened her mouth as if to say something, but suddenly stopped. After taking a deep breath, the girl's expression became firm again.

"Then, I'll leave it to you, Mr. Arash!"

While everyone was discussing, the battle on the other side had already begun.

"what!"

Not long after the Conqueror King (I use this sensitive word the most often...) left the stage, the white-clad knight princess descended from the sky wielding the Sword of Excalibur.

Clang──

The robes that were originally not even worthy of being called a Noble Phantasm by the Conqueror King, and which were almost reduced to scrap metal at the time, now withstood a blow from the Holy Sword, which was known as the Steel-Breaking Sword.

The first attack failed, but the knight girl remained calm, sheathed her sword and retreated before instantly closing in again.

The holy sword in Lily's hand, no longer bound by the Wind King's barrier, left a golden trail as it thrust straight at Orpheus, but was easily deflected by the latter with his bare hands.

The longsword sliced ​​through a semicircle and swept down at Orpheus once more.

The two figures clashed, but the Knight Princess's attack was still ineffective this time.

Undeterred, Lily continued to swing her sword, and the shadows of the two separated and merged on the ground, leaving countless traces in the air.

Clang—Clang—Clang—Clang───

The Knight Princess's swordsmanship is not as good as her future, but it has a more imaginative and beautiful quality.

"what!"

Lily let out another soft shout, and Excalibur slashed down heavily from above.

But the next second, Knight Princess's pupils contracted.

The dragon god's maiden blocked her full-force attack with just one finger.

Is that all?

Orpheus narrowed his silver eyes and looked up at the sky.

"If I were given the chance..."

Even without Orpheus's reminder, Lily didn't want another fireball to fall from the sky.

"Before you succeed as Master, you will definitely not have a chance to look around!"

"Yeah……"

Orpheus flicked the holy sword lightly.

"Then let's give it a try."

"Well……"

Using the backward push Orpheus gave her, Lily jumped back with all her might.

Boom!

The next moment, a purple beam of light descended from the sky and landed where Lily had been standing.

Not giving up after missing its target, the dragon-serpent in the sky continued to fire beams of light at the retreating Lily.

With her eyes closed, Lily took a deep breath, then unleashed her magic, charging forward swiftly, just past the beam of light, and piercing straight towards Orpheus!

"Oh?"

Orpheus raised his hand, seemingly intending to deflect the sword attack with his sleeve as before, but in the next second, the dragon girl's steps faltered slightly.

The beam of magic that spewed from the holy sword passed by Orpheus at almost the same time.

Not letting this opportunity slip by, Lily launched another attack.

Seeing the dragon and snake completely ignoring everyone else and relentlessly attacking Lily, Ritsuka was speechless... Was this still a boss in the game? Once it set its sights on someone, it wouldn't care about anyone else.

However, this couldn't be better for Ritsuka.

Let's begin!

"Come, God of Stars and Moon!"

Arash solemnly drew his bow and began to chant in a low voice.

"Ok?"

While dealing with Lily, Orpheus also felt a strong magical energy gathering.

"Do you have any plans?"

Clang──

The blow landed heavily on Orpheus's sleeve, and Lily gasped for breath, drenched in sweat.

Although Orpheus didn't exert much effort, his speed was extremely fast. Just keeping up with him was already quite difficult for Lily, let alone launching attacks almost continuously.

"Witness my character, my end, and my holy dedication."

"Absolutely not! I will not let you interfere with Master!"

The planet's radiance enveloped the holy sword.

His eyes flashed, and a sphere wreathed in crimson storm appeared in Orpheus's palm.

"Haa!"

The winds of creation met the sharp edge of the holy sword, and a powerful impact erupted.

The next moment, the dragon-snake's breath blasted Lily away.

"After unleashing this all-or-nothing attack..."

"Well……"

It felt as if all the bones in her body had fallen apart. Lily held back the blood rising in her throat and stood up again.

But what greeted her at that moment was the enormous head of a dragon and a snake.

"finished……"

With a bitter laugh, Lily shook her head, preparing to face the final blow.

"No, thank you for your hard work."

Lily was answered by a mature female voice.

A crimson meteor shower fell from the sky, mercilessly striking the dragon and snake.

Each of those was a released form of a spear-type Noble Phantasm of rank B or higher!

"My strong limbs will soon crumble and shatter!"

"Ang───"

Having withstood the first wave of attacks, the dragon-snake roared. The next moment, countless bolts of lightning fell from the sky, intercepting most of the spears. But by then, Scáthach, who had just launched her attack, had already landed on the ground.

At the same time, the remaining sword on the ground also floated into the air and stabbed towards the dragon and snake from below.

Thus, the dragon and snake were restrained.

Then, what followed was a real meteor.

The radiant light even drew Orpheus's attention.

It was a man holding a bow.

"I have always been a heroic spirit capable of ending wars."

Then, with a smile, he left behind this sentence.

"Stella!"

Chapter 180 The Name of the Knight

"Stella!!!"

A meteor shot out.

That was the culmination of a hero's life's work, a single blow that ended the war.

It is a challenge launched by people from the bottom up, at the cost of burning their own lives, against the heavens.

A meteor streaks upward against the sky.

"..."

Orpheus, who had been passively responding to Lily's attacks, finally stopped dodging.

The next second, hundreds of Noble Phantasms shot out instantly, engulfing Lily.

Without confirming the outcome, Orpheus raised his hand towards the shooting star that was climbing upwards.
