The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

Then, he swung down the holy sword in his hand.

The next moment, the illusory star collided with the planetary light, then erupted and devoured everything.

Chapter 181 The Name of That Miracle

boom!!!

The illusory star, composed solely of energy, clashed with the planetary light propelled by the Holy Sword.

In an instant, the aftershocks erupted, tearing everything around them apart.

Mashu rallied her spirits again and stood in front of Ritsuka. Dozens of meters in front of them, Scáthach was crouching there with her eyes closed.

"Ha—"

Ignoring her companions' situation, Lily let out a resolute shout, but despite her imposing manner, she couldn't make up for her lack of strength, and the enormous sun continued to push towards her.

She knew very well that although Orpheus hadn't seemed very serious before and had never tried to kill her, in the current situation, it would be difficult for Orpheus to hold back even if he wanted to.

With Avalon by her side, she won't die, but it will be very painful, right?

But for her, all she needed was to buy enough time.

With the support of the Master Command Seals, there will be absolutely no problem!

Having made up her mind, Lily took another powerful step forward.

"You have to hold on!"

────────────────────────────────

Scáthach knelt on one knee.

At this moment, the Queen of the Land of Shadows did not hold two guns as usual, but instead placed a long spear flat on the ground, while her right hand was gently placed on top of it.

—If only one stab is needed, then a second gun is unnecessary.

To use that move, you need to get everything in order.

Adjust your body to its optimal state, adjust your soul to its optimal state, and adjust your spirit to its optimal state.

Master's heartbeat was chaotic and rapid, Mashu's aura was still weak and she was unable to fight for a short time, while the red archer was doing his best to slow down the collapse of the barrier.

A distance away, Lily was holding off Orpheus, locked in a fierce battle.

Her clear consciousness absorbed these thoughts, but Scáthach excluded them.

Unnecessary thoughts must be eliminated; one must devote oneself entirely to the spear in hand.

Rumble──

The aftershocks of her battle with Lily washed over her, the flying sand and gravel cutting her cheeks, but Scáthach simply closed her eyes calmly, as if she felt nothing.

Like a shadow, magic enveloped his body, raising his aura to its peak.

boom!!!

An even louder explosion rang out as the energy sphere constructed by Orpheus with magic collided with the release of Lily's Excalibur.

The energy ripples, far greater than before, spread outwards, turning everything they touched into dust.

Just then, the Queen of the Land of Shadows finally opened her eyes.

Scáthach tightened her grip on her spear as she focused her gaze on the dragon-serpent, which had recovered to a certain extent.

The next second, the aftershocks engulfed the area where the queen was, but there was no one there anymore.

The purple Lancer had somehow leaped high into the air and landed in front of the dragon and snake.

He staked everything on this one strike.

"Take this well, for this is a stab that will annihilate all living beings!"

“Gae──Bolg!”

The crimson light streaked across the sky like a shooting star, flashing by in an instant, and then time seemed to stand still.

The dragon-serpent, which was recovering from Arash's desperate attack, suddenly stopped and remained motionless in mid-air.

next second...

"Ang───"

With a final cry, the dragon and snake turned to dust and vanished.

In front of the dragon and snake, Scáthach, who should have fallen back to the ground, was nowhere to be seen.

That last thrust had already gambled away all of her spiritual essence, and like Arash, Scáthach vanished.

But the battle is not over yet.

"Well……"

The moment the dragon and snake vanished, a flicker of pain crossed Orpheus's expression, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Didn't expect it to actually be possible?"

Looking at the starlight scattered after the dragon and serpent decomposed, Orpheus felt no grief or indignation; instead, he laughed even more heartily.

Although it is merely a replica created using the Caster class, when combined with the Holy Grail's supply, it is equivalent to her being a pseudo-infinite snake.

Before this, her infinity had only been broken by the Mother Goddess of Creation.

"Haha, very good, very good. Then, let me see what Lily who remains can do."

After the dragon and serpent disappeared, the surrounding lightning and storm also vanished, and the original barrier that was about to fall apart gradually stabilized.

At this moment, only Lily remained on the battlefield, locked in a stalemate with Orpheus.

"As for you, you'd better not bother us."

With a flick of his finger, an arrow that had been shot from afar toward Orpheus's brow was reduced to ashes by a bolt of lightning falling from the sky.

"So it wasn't that easy after all..."

The Heroic Spirit Emiya put down his bow and sighed, causing Ritsuka's lips to twitch.

That arrow was really too insidious...

"So, what do you think? If I charge in now, maybe I can turn the tide of the battle?"

"Do not."

Ritsuka shook her head and rejected Emiya's proposal.

"It's pointless. No matter how powerful the attack is... no, precisely because it's a powerful attack that can pose a threat at this moment, she'll detect it beforehand and defend against it. So, Mr. Emiya, you should just maintain the barrier properly."

The Chaldea Master took a step forward.

"Master?"

"senior?"

"Leave the rest to me."

────────────────────────────────

Energy continued to radiate everywhere, and Orpheus's robes continued to flutter.

"It seems Lily is nearing her limit."

Opposite her, the white-clad knight princess was panting heavily, but her attacks continued unabated.

Even with the power of a Command Seal, it is still just a Command Seal, and Lily has long since exceeded her limits.

"Everyone has already worked so hard, how can we let it all fall apart because of me!"

As Lily shouted, the light of Excalibur seemed to intensify once more.

"..."

Silently, the dragon goddess glanced at her palm.

The once-perfect fingertips have now begun to turn slightly transparent.

Having lost her connection with the Holy Grail, has the depletion of her magical energy begun to have meaning for her?

Although the contract with Tokiomi Tohsaka is still in effect, I can't sense any magical energy coming from over there... Has something happened?

In any case, if this continues, she will probably disappear because her magic power is exhausted.

But that was a long time later.

Even without connecting to the Holy Grail, the concept of the Ouroboros was still in operation. The Great Source's magic was collected and incorporated into her body at an extremely fast speed, and the remaining magic was more than enough to support her in battle for three days and three nights before she felt any lack.

Lily couldn't possibly keep fighting her for that long.

"Has the miracle ended here?"

This can't go on forever.

Orpheus slowly raised his other hand, which he had not used before.

Just now.

Whoosh—

It may be called a miracle, but it is actually an insignificant 'existence'.

Regardless of whether its users, as humans, braved such intense aftershocks to reach it.

Or perhaps it was that such an inconspicuous strike broke through the layers of energy turbulence.

Or rather, the final outcome might be good.

It wasn't some profound magic; it was just an ordinary magic bullet.

It advanced shakily at a ridiculously slow pace for most Heroic Spirits, but even so, it still hit its target.

Before Orpheus's astonished eyes, the impact came, and the arm that had been stretched straight out was knocked open from the elbow down.

This astonishment wasn't just directed at the magical bullet that shouldn't be there, but also at the girl who shouldn't be there.

"No, Master!"

The next second, the sun, now free from Orpheus's control, began to disintegrate. Its energy was shattered by the radiance of the holy sword and exploded in a fan shape in front of Lily.
