Chapter 113 Unexpected Situation

Seeing Tiamat, which was less than a quarter of a day away, and the lower half of Uruk, which was submerged in black mud, Orpheus's face darkened.

"what happened?"

"I don't know, when I came to my senses... Tiamat suddenly appeared!"

The guards nearby reported in a panic.

"Your Majesty, what exactly is going on..."

Hiduri, who was standing nearby, quickly asked.

Orpheus remained silent.

She wasn't unaware of what had happened; in fact, it was quite easy to understand, but she simply couldn't believe it.

Ouroboros possesses extremely strong spatial abilities, traversing the void and drifting between dimensions. For ouroboros, these are merely instincts. Only beings whose very existence is related to concepts like space can rival ouroboros in this regard.

However, just because ouroboros excels at it doesn't mean that other creatures can't master it.

"They actually figured out how to determine the location coordinates?"

A bitter look appeared on Orpheus's face.

Jumping out of the world, locating coordinates, and then jumping back into the world—this was her most proficient method of movement. Although she had taken Tiamat out of this space, she couldn't push her into another space. She could only place her in a spatial rift, and the spatial rift itself couldn't withstand Tiamat's power. After about two days, Tiamat would fall back into this dimension.

The original coordinates left by this process would not change; you would fall back to the same place you left off... But Orpheus never expected that Tiamat's obsession with destroying Uruk would actually lead her to develop a method for choosing the landing point!

Fortunately, Tiamat's coordinates were slightly off, reducing the journey by only three-quarters, leaving about six hours to go.

"Ophis!"

The Chaldea personnel, along with the Servants except Enkidu and Merlin (who died), plus the two goddesses, all rushed to the top of the temple.

"What about Dingell's condition?"

"Yes, a total of 360 doors, all of which have been installed according to the king's instructions."

Orpheus nodded and looked at the crowd.

"Now is not the time to explain anything. Raphm's attack will be handled by ordinary soldiers. Your task is to slow down Tiamat's advance for eighteen hours. Any questions?"

"Leave it to us!"

Ritsuka naturally agreed wholeheartedly.

She didn't ask Orpheus why he didn't do it himself.

If we were to transplant the battle from the Gulf to here... Uruk would explode before Tiamat even arrives, wouldn't it?

"I just can't do anything with you..."

This is undoubtedly Ishtar.

"Cough cough cough cough..."

After everyone dispersed, Orpheus coughed several times, feeling unwell, and shook his head as he looked at Tiamat, who was still in the distance.

Although she desperately wanted to intervene, her body was already too weak to continue...

All those who wanted to leave had been evacuated, and all the necessary preparations had been completed. Now, she could only watch Tiamat walk over step by step.

During this time, the sun's blazing heat descended from the sky, and countless giant snakes emerged from the ground.

The successive attacks slowed Tiamat's progress and damaged her wings, rendering her unable to fly.

Even so, the Mother Goddess of Creation never stopped.

Finally, Tiamat broke through Uruk's southern wall.

Unfortunately, Tiamat showed no intention of turning back and continued walking towards the Great Temple.

"Sorry, this is the limit."

Ritsuka, looking exhausted, stood behind Orpheus and spoke.

Now, apart from the Chaldeans and their Servants, only eight temple guards, three troop captains, and one commander-in-chief remain alive.

These twelve individuals are all powerful enough to rival or even surpass second-rate Servants.

"Hercules was swallowed by the black mud because he charged too far, Arjuna sacrificed himself to cover the rear, even Quetzalcoatl fell and his fate is unknown... and Anna..."

Orpheus glanced back and realized that the little girl in black robes who had been silently following Ritsuka had disappeared... Seriously, you only just noticed now?

Did the young Gorgon perish together with his adult self, then somehow merge into one, and ultimately launch a suicide attack on Tiamat...?

Quetzal, too, fought Tiamat to the very end before falling from the sky.

As someone who could still see fate, Orpheus quickly learned the situation.

As for why Arjun, an archer, was responsible for covering the rear, I won't go into that.

Sorry, but if you can play Stella Art, you can get an even more elaborate death after a long, drawn-out monologue.

"Arei?"

"We're on our way...we'll be there in three hours, hang in there until then..."

...If you keep being late like this, I'm afraid you won't even last half a day before you have to pack your things and be sent back to your hometown.

Orpheus sighed inwardly, watching the Rahams break through the defenses alongside Tiamat, and Tiamat striding forward with unstoppable momentum. He took a few steps forward with difficulty, but someone grabbed his shoulder.

"Leave the rest to us, Master."

Medea said with a smile.

"Before this, we hadn't done anything at all, even though Mr. Hercules and Mr. Arjuna had already sacrificed themselves..."

Joan of Arc said with a hint of helplessness.

Although she is good at defense, she has no way to counter this kind of overwhelming pressure.

Altira nodded and gripped the Sword of the War God.

"My king, let us fight too."

Four dragonblood warriors also stepped forward, their eyes resolute.

Orpheus was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"It's up to you now."

"This life that I was summoned to is really more exciting than I expected."

Medea flew through the sky, watching Raphm engulf the entire battle line, and smiled softly.

For Medea, protecting humanity and saving mankind were still too far removed from her life; after all, she was just an innocent princess.

But precisely because of this...

"Since she is an innocent princess, it is only natural that she would yearn for a beautiful ending that only exists in her imagination."

It was the same back then; she accepted the summons on a whim. Although her Master didn't pay much attention to her, she still silently contributed her strength.

Perhaps her power is quite weak compared to other Servants, but...

"Even if I can't see what's ahead, I'll still run; even if I have no one to rely on, I'll still try my best..."

The scepter given to her by the goddess Hecate shone with a soft light and was held high by Medea.

"Not even being allowed to rest in peace, it's so pathetic to end up like that. But what can I do? I'm just an innocent princess who can only accept happy endings."

"Even the power of a recovery-type Servant should not be underestimated."

Let all the tragedies return to their origin.

"Pain Breaker!"

Silvery stardust burst forth from the tin staff, covering the entire Uruk.

Chapter 114 Crimson Flame and Tears of the Star

Silvery stardust fell upon Rafum, which had spread throughout Uruk, and shone with dazzling brilliance.

Under the light, the Raphmians melted back into the black mud, or transformed back into human form, and after giving Medea a grateful smile, they turned into particles and returned to the underworld.

Even Orpheus couldn't help but admire the scene before him.

It's not because it's visually stunning, but because of its pure heart.

Mystery loses its power in the face of higher levels of mystery; this is the law of this world, and Medea's mystery is undoubtedly no match for Tiamat's divinity.

However, Medea's Noble Phantasm, "The One Who Can Repair Every Flaw," is the embodiment of her purest love as a princess of Colchis.

Love is something that is inherently full of all sorts of possibilities, isn't it?

He stubbornly denied all misfortune, pursuing only the purest and most beautiful, unreasonable love.

That is a love that can even cleanse human evil.

Perhaps pure white is easily tainted, but at least at this moment, it is her most beautiful moment.

It didn't even have a chance to be stained by other colors; after displaying its most dazzling brilliance, it scattered away.

Medea gently landed back beside Orpheus, her body shrouded in pale purple spiritual energy.

Orpheus glanced at the dreamlike princess with mixed feelings, and finally just nodded.

"Thank you, and thank you for your hard work."

Medea smiled contentedly, and her entire body transformed into spiritual particles and vanished.

A Servant's power has a limit.

Even with Orpheus's serpent as an aid, Orpheus's infinity was already damaged, and the power of the spirit origin would eventually be exhausted.

At that point, the only option left is to return to Valhalla.

Medea unleashed a miracle that far surpassed her own abilities and was infinitely close to 'magic,' so it was inevitable that she would exhaust her power as a result.

"Miss Medea..."
