The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

The two seemed to have been waiting for this order for a long time. As soon as Ritsuka spoke, the two figures rushed out.

"Let the army concentrate."

Nodding to Ritsuka, Orpheus pulled a soldier with fighting spirit to the side and gave the order.

"Yes Yes!"

Seemingly only now noticing that their king had appeared, the soldiers' morale noticeably improved, and they began to relay orders.

Under the cover of high-end combat forces that came to support, the nearby troops who were still able to fight quickly gathered together, though there were only a few hundred of them.

Orpheus glanced at them and found that most of them were people he had blessed.

Nodding, Orpheus spoke calmly.

"Those who have been blessed are responsible for clearing out the enemies; the rest will be guided to safety, and I, the Goddess, will handle the rest."

"Yes!"

The soldiers dispersed, and Orpheus leaped onto the city wall, squinting at the snake woman who was still fighting with Joan of Arc and the others.

Later, Ritsuka, with the help of her servants, climbed the city wall and looked at the snake woman with a look of shock in her eyes.

"Is that Tiamat...?"

"Ten meters in physical form, over a hundred meters in length, divine spirit origin, and a special class: Avenger!"

Roman quickly published the analyzed data over the communicator.

"Tiamat... she's too weak..."

Looking at the snake woman who seemed to be gaining some ground against Altira, Orpheus muttered to himself.

Chapter 79 Mutation

The real Tiamat is not this guy; Orpheus figured this out a long time ago.

After all, Tiamat is a creator goddess, and could only be that 'monster' who is still asleep.

Orpheus had no interest in what kind of god this destructive fellow was.

If she weren't the most crucial point, Orpheus would have killed her long ago.

On the battlefield, Altira spun and leaped, leaving sword marks on the snake woman's body. Although the snake woman kept retaliating with her hair, her body was ultimately not agile enough.

...So, despite her enormous size, while she possesses intimidation and destructive power, if the most threatening demonic eye fails to take effect, her insufficient agility renders her relegated to a meat shield.

High attack, high defense, low agility – this is the most typical BOSS character.

The snake woman's ability—the Petrifying Eyes—is not an instant-kill attack. Even if someone is completely petrified, the snake woman can remove the petrification if she wants to. And coincidentally, Medea's Noble Phantasm can revive someone with full health as long as they don't die. Even if the snake woman tries to petrify someone before attacking, Jeanne can appear in time to block her.

Similarly, the second most threatening poison is also the same, and both Joan of Arc and Medea's abilities can deal with it.

It can be said that unless she finds a real opportunity to swallow them whole, the snake woman, while not necessarily defeated, will not be able to defeat these four.

It's not that the snake woman is too weak. In fact, the fact that she can fight to this extent against these three Servants who are much stronger than ordinary Servants under the magic of Orpheus and can fight with almost unlimited endurance is enough to prove her strength.

However, in terms of compatibility, the snake woman is extremely unfavorable.

Those demonic eyes could be said to kill anyone they glared at; they were truly divine eyes. But unfortunately, the opposing team happened to have a character who could both clear debuffs and act as a tank, completely countering the Snake Woman.

Therefore, if the snake woman could wield two large cleavers and engage in close combat, she would pose a greater threat to her opponent than to her eyes.

Unfortunately, the snake woman seemed unable to let go of her pride, so she could only twist her body and struggle to resist the storm-like attacks of Altira and Arjuna, constantly trying to use her magic eye to freeze her opponents' movements, but often to no avail.

However, even though the attacks that struck her were like a storm, Arjuna's attacks were more like harassment, and even if they successfully caused damage, they would recover quickly. Although Altira's attacks had a much slower recovery speed, compared to the size of the snake woman, they were only equivalent to a scratch and would not have much impact on her. Overall, the snake woman was hardly seriously injured.

If you had to put it in a nutshell, it would be that her anger level was rising rapidly, and her attacks were becoming increasingly frenzied.

Altira continued to move around the snake woman, occasionally climbing onto her body to plunge her sword in and run, leaving huge wounds. She seemed elegant and had the upper hand, but in reality, she was in great danger.

The snake woman's demonic eye was not ineffective against Altira. On the contrary, once it successfully locked onto her, Altira could only be petrified and unable to move. If the opponent could finish her off with another attack at that moment, her life would be over. Therefore, Altira's positioning, Arjuna's cover, and the timing of Medea's assistance from above were all extremely important.

Fortunately, Altira's constant entanglement with the snake woman actually made the snake woman more cautious in using the Demon Eye.

Most Mystic Eyes are not ineffective against their owners simply because the owner is the holder, and the Snake Woman's Mystic Eyes are no exception.

Therefore, the snake woman should also be careful when using her magic eye, lest she be petrified herself.

The two sides remained deadlocked, unable to determine a winner for a long time.

"Um... are you sure you don't need to go help?"

Ritsuka frowned, using a simple farsight magic trick to look worriedly at the battlefield.

Orpheus shook his head at this.

"It's meaningless."

Apart from Altira's attacks, no one could inflict any real damage on the snake woman.

In fact, even Orpheus himself didn't know why Altira was able to harm the snake woman.

Anna, standing to the side, gripped her weapon tightly, seemingly wanting to rush forward, which slightly caught Orpheus's attention.

"..."

Then, as if he had discovered something, Orpheus raised an eyebrow.

I wasn't initially interested in this unremarkable girl in black robes, but now that I see her...

Although Orpheus didn't know the true identity of the big guy opposite him... was this little girl from the same origin as him?

Seeing the complex look in the girl's eyes as she gazed at the monster, Orpheus gently looked away.

The other person seemed to be going through a tough time too, but she wouldn't interfere.

Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't have the energy.

"As expected... Apart from the king who somehow managed to injure that avenger, all the other wounds healed very quickly!"

Roman, on the other end of the communicator, seemed to be frantically analyzing the situation.

"Hmm... Could it be because of the Holy Grail's power?"

"Ugh?"

Merlin stroked his chin, and his seemingly casual remark drew everyone's attention.

"But...the Holy Grail isn't..."

Ritsuka looked at the staff in Orpheus's hand with surprise.

"Ah, does that mean it's never been mentioned? King Orpheus's Holy Grail originally belonged to this era. In fact, the Holy Grail sent by the Magic King has never been found."

"I never said that!"

Ritsuka could only sigh and complain about Merlin, whose skin was as thick as a city wall.

"Teacher... I know it's pointless to say this, but if there's a next time, please remind me earlier."

Lily sighed softly and spoke helplessly.

"Hmm... still so strict, Artoria. Is it starting to go in a direction that doesn't understand people's hearts...?"

"Teacher, please pay attention!"

Just as the master and apprentice started bickering, Mashu suddenly widened her eyes.

"Wait, that's... Oh no!"

The anxious reminder drew everyone's attention back to the battlefield.

Seemingly tired of continuing the fight with the others, an immeasurable amount of magical power suddenly erupted from the snake woman, causing Altira to be thrown back.

--- This is actually disadvantageous to the snake woman. Altira has always lacked time to charge up her power in order to restrain the snake woman. Now that the distance has been increased, she will have the opportunity to unleash her Noble Phantasm.

However, the restraint on the snake woman has also temporarily disappeared.

The outburst was very sudden; both Medea and Artira were blown away. Although Joan of Arc had made preparations beforehand, she was temporarily unable to free her hands.

Taking advantage of this gap, the snake woman's enormous body slid rapidly, speeding towards the city wall at an extremely fast pace.

On the city wall, Arjuna gritted his teeth and frantically poured magic into the arrows, trying to slow down the snake woman's advance, but suddenly met a pair of blood-red eyes that shimmered with rainbow light.

A fatal sense of crisis surged through him, and without much thought, Arjuna leaped backward off the city wall.

At this point, half of his body had turned to stone.

“Mr. Arjuna…”

Joan of Arc witnessed all of this, but was unable to offer him any help; she could only do her best to defend herself.

“Leave Mr. Arjuna to me, you all hold on for now.”

Medea floated in mid-air. Although she had just been blown away a distance, it didn't affect her much since she was already in the sky. However, since she wasn't very good at fighting, she couldn't withstand the snake woman. Now that she saw Arjuna was seriously injured, she immediately flew towards him.

"Have they lost their minds...?"

Altira readjusted his posture, shook his head as he looked at the snake woman's back, then pointed the God of War's sword forward and slightly lowered his body.

"Do not destroy its life, but only shatter its civilization..."

However, at that moment Joan of Arc suddenly widened her eyes, forcibly stopped in her tracks, and turned to face Altira.

"Be careful!!"

Similarly, the Star Emblem's intuition alerted Altira to something amiss, but it was too late to react.

Almost simultaneously, countless chains shot out from the ground, accompanied by beams of golden light that shot straight toward Altira!

By this time, the snake woman was only a few dozen meters away from the city wall. Suddenly, her upper body stopped, and she swung her tail, smashing it directly towards the city wall with immense force!

Chapter 80 Crisis

Turning your back on the enemy is a foolish thing to do.

If the enemy didn't have the ability to injure her, that would be one thing, but Altira was able to actually inflict damage on the snake woman.

But after knocking Altira away, the snake woman turned around and charged toward the city wall without hesitation, completely ignoring Altira behind her.

Completely lost their minds... or is there some hidden trap?

Altira pondered, but did not stop moving.
