The four Servants enmity was enough to instantly destroy an ordinary person.
For a strong soul, the reaction aura that formed in various mediums would no longer just be at the illusory level rather than substantial damage. But for Ryota, this bit of crushing of will is like a gentle breeze.
Not only did it not put any pressure on him, but it also stimulated the Ming Hong within him that went crazy the moment he touched battle.
Anger, and Ming Hong's killing intent were like flames in his chest. Let him have the idea to destroy everything.
Destructive Drive—— Ryota suddenly heard the information he mentioned in Kurumi's memory. But now was not the time to think deeply, because the Servants had started attacking.
Perhaps because he learned that Noble Phantasms were limited, Gilgamesh changed his battle strategy and stopped indiscriminately shooting Noble Phantasms.
He began to select several Noble Phantasms with hit-concept characteristics.
Gilgamesh couldn't believe his attacks had no effect at all.
If it doesn't work once, do it several times!
Of course, selection is a process and of course it takes time. This time, Lancelot and Diarmuid helped him.
The two melee Servants rushed towards Ryota immediately.
Diarmuid directed Gae Buidhe to Ryota.
Lancelot gave up using the [Knight of Owner], and immediately uprooted Arondight, increasing all of his parameters by one level and gaining power beyond what he had before.
The two of them attacked with encirclement momentum.
Clang...!
A series of sharp crashing sounds resounded across the battlefield.
A wave of air exploded in the air, like a wild dancing air current.
The figures of the three disappeared instantly.
Only a few people present were able to catch up to their movements.
For ordinary people like Kiritsugu and Irisviel, all they could see were nearby containers being blown up into the air one by one.
A huge crack was torn from the hard metal shell, and a sharp sound was heard that made people's teeth hurt.
"Too slow!"
"Is this the power of a Servant? Is it only to this extent?"
"Aren't you eating!?"
While defusing the attack, Ryota raised his voice to provoke.
He easily defended his second encirclement with the Ming Hong Sword.
No matter what angle the attack came from, he easily dodged or blocked it.
He didn't even take the initiative to attack, and he forced the two Servants who were currently fighting into dismay.
The skill he displayed caused the clear-minded Diarmuid to show a wary and amazed look.
"Who is Your Highness? With such martial arts skills, it is absolutely impossible to become an unknown!"
Seeing that his attacks had no effect, Diarmuid roared.
Explosion!
Explosion!
Two explosions sounded like muffled thunder.
Ryota approached the two of them, took the initiative to attack for the first time, immediately broke the speed of sound and slashed twice.
The momentum of the slash made the air within a hundred meters appear to be divided into several pieces, showing regional spikes visible to the naked eye.
Diarmuid and Lancelot were immediately sent flying.
The two men's jaws snapped, their arms snapped, their internal organs shook, and they flew backwards with the ground beneath their feet, and crashed into the river, causing a huge splash.
Blood mixed with water splashed onto the bank of the river, and it was clear that the two of them were seriously injured.
"It seems you are of no use to me…"
Ryota grinned, revealing traces of cruelty in his smile: "Forget it, at least tell who killed you."
With a flip of his wrist, the blood-colored sword was raised vertically, and the blade was pointed at the river, and flames sprayed continuously on the blade.
The air around him heated up in one breath and became scorching hot, as if inhaling it into the lungs, as if burning the lungs.
Ryota exerted his fiery spirit power, and the "Bridge of Rage" became very active.
It was the start of launching a powerful sword move.
"My name is Shiro, and I'm also Ryota, so remember!"
A loud scream spread throughout the battlefield.
Crash—Ryota condensed a quarter of his soul power and slashed.
Supernova Blade of Heaven Abyss!
Explosion!
A streak of fiery red tore through the sky, reflecting half of the sky red.
The river was cut with a single slash.
Under Ryota's deliberate control, a sword force exploded between the two riverbanks.
An incomparably high temperature descended. Who know how many tons of river water evaporated in an instant, and the physical phenomenon of water vapor explosion has occurred, which directly caused the rift in the river.
The scenery at the bottom of the river is like a lava lake.
As for Diarmuid and Lancelot who fell into the river… their spiritual cores were instantly burned.
"Two fell."
Ryota subconsciously counted.
Whether it was Diarmuid or Lancelot, it didn't help much to verify his strength.
Diarmuid's two weapons, Gae Buidhe and Gae Dearg were unable to attack him, and would gradually be slowed down by the "Immortal Body" as soon as it approached.
Gae Buidhe needs to be touched before it can take effect. If not, then it can destroy any ability with airwaves, it's called god weapon. So this Noble Phantasm had no effect on him.
As for Lancelot... Ryota can only say that this Lake Knight is not bad at close combat, but only at an acceptable level.
Due to Ming Hongdao's unparalleled Sword talent, the effect of his sword practice was hundreds of times that of those swordsmen's geniuses.
Even though he hadn't been practicing for long, based on actual results, it was already on par with someone with the talent of the Way of the Sword who had spent a hundred years studying the skill to reach that state.
Lancelot did not live to be a hundred years old, and it was impossible to study martial arts and swordsmanship all the time while he was alive. In close combat, as Ryota had expected, the other side was not his opponent.
Two close combat Servant did not help him in verifying his strength.
Ryota has the idea to "quickly end the Holy Grail War and start business", naturally not holding back.
Right now, Ryota can only hope that Gilgamesh and Iskandar can give him some surprises.
As he had this thought, more than a dozen golden lights flew towards him.
The atmosphere swayed due to the strong magical reaction. Unsurprisingly, all of those streams of light had to be A Rank Noble Phantasms.
To test himself, Ryota gave up on dodging.
Those dozens of Noble Phantasms were behind him, but they didn't completely slow down.
Several Noble Phantasms successively broke through the "Time Barrier", cracked its muscles, and dug it into its body, loading it up like a weapon rack.
The remaining Noble Phantasms failed to touch him, and were defeated in a clash of concepts.
"Hah...? Finding weapons is quick enough, Gilgamesh." Ryota was slightly surprised.
So fast, he collected more than a dozen weapons with "definitely hit the target", and all of them were Rank A… Gilgamesh sure was quite wealthy.
And when that Noble Phantasm is not released, it is only a powerful weapon, but a definite attack effect that needs to be unleashed.
Freeing so many Noble Phantasms in a row. Wasn't he afraid of draining Tokiomi's magic power?
(No... Judging from the reaction of the impact, none of these A-Rank Noble Phantasms released with all their might, and their power was meager. The ultimate effect was a sure-hit effect... Such a compromise, would the magic power not be enough? )
Ryota immediately guessed the answer.
Explosion!
Soul force surged in his body, intending to expel the Noble Phantasm from his body.
This level of penetration damage didn't even need [Time River Immortality]'s second effect to spread the damage over a very long period of time. Because it's recoverable now.
Just when Ryota thought so.
"Die! Bastard!" Gilgamesh roared.
Before the sound could spread, he unleashed a Noble Phantasm's true power that was infused into Ryota's defense.
Explosion...!
There was a roar like thunder rolling across the battlefield.
The release of the A Rank Noble Phantasm's true power occurred directly in Ryota's body.
The brilliance of magic power was like a torrent, engulfing the nearby land in an instant.
Entire riverbanks and harbors were affected.
As far as the eye can see, there is destruction.
...
Ever since Ryota had cut the river, Kiritsugu and the others had stayed away from the battlefield.
Left with no other choice, the damage from that attack was simply too serious.
Standing beside the river, breathing becomes difficult, because the inhaled air can immediately burn the lungs. With normal human bodies, they wouldn't last a minute in there.
"Iris, what happened?" Kiritsugu asked his wife.
"Two Servants have left the stage."
Irisviel looked at the small heart-shaped holy grail in her palm, and replied: "Perhaps Lancer and Berserker, they rush to Shiro first."
"Must." Kiritsugu nodded, then asked: "What about your body?"
"Don't worry, Kiritsugu, there's nothing strange." Irisviel said with a smile: "The people you recruited last time are really amazing! He was able to separate me from the little Holy Grail and guarantee safety. Where do you know such a powerful person?"
"...When I was a mercenary, I met them by chance."
Due to the Adventurer's Guild's restrictions, Kiritsugu naturally couldn't tell the truth.
Healing Irisviel and Illya's bodies, and ensuring the Lesser Holy Grail's continued existence – these two things cost close to 10,000 points to deal with.
Fortunately, the people he recruited were very reliable and managed to solve all the problems.
"A friend from the mercenary days… okay."
Seeing that Kiritsugu didn't want to say more, Irisviel changed the subject: "Shiro there… do we really not need to go to support?"
"No, he can handle it."
The one who answered was Misaki. Her tone revealed deep confidence: "Shiro-chan is probably testing his own strength, otherwise the battle would have ended long ago."
"Is he that strong? He is facing four Servants at once."
Saber frowned, and couldn't help reminding her. Her tone seemed a little unsure, and she felt the little girl in front of her looked down on them as Servants.
"How powerful it is."
Misaki smiled and didn't explain anything. She basically understood the combat effectiveness of the Servants by now.
When Ryota was on the First Bridge, when he fought with her against the cultists, he almost showed this kind of strength.
Now Ryota has reached the Third Bridge, and the overall strength calculated from all aspects of the comprehensive factors definitely surpasses the Servant category.
She didn't have the slightest doubt that Ryota could win.
"Misaki, have you seen Shiro-chan move before?"
Hayasaka looked at Misaki curiously.
Watching the battle at close range just now made her yearn for powerful strength even more. Even her tone was a little excited.
"Hehe, Hayasaka doesn't know anything."
Misaki's expression seemed a little arrogant: "You dare to talk about chasing people just like that... I really don't know where your confidence comes from."
"..."
Hayasaka pouted.
She asked this question very seriously, and Misaki bickered with her regardless of the occasion or the atmosphere… She took notes.
"Anyway, Shiro-chan will be fine."
Misaki glanced at everyone and suggested: "You guys are idle now, why don't you accompany me to clean up the Assassins?"
"Assassin... do you know the location?"
Ishtar immediately approached Misaki, and asked with a bit of surprise.
Defeating Servants is a side quest, and each head counts as one point.
Assassin sounds very weak, so don't miss your chance to score points!
Just when Misaki wanted to answer. Suddenly, there was a huge explosion in the distance.
The roar resounded throughout Fuyuki City, and not even the barrier that was set up around it was able to stop it.
The powerful magical reaction immediately caught everyone's attention.
Everyone looked in the direction they had left earlier.
It was engulfed in a torrent of magic, and flames shot up into the sky, and the entire pier disappeared.
"..."
Misaki's confident expression froze on her face.
"No, Shiro-chan is fine."
Immediately, her telepathy caught hold of Ryota, and no feeble feedback came through.
Phew... it's okay.
"Be careful!"
Saber suddenly shouted, and raised Excalibur.
After being reminded by her, everyone looked to the side.
A golden figure appeared in the field of vision.
It's Gilgamesh!
At this time, Gilgamesh was looking at the center of the explosion, feeling a rush of magic power. There was a rare flesh pain expression on his face.
An A Rank Noble Phantasm could be considered the trump card of a powerful Heroic Spirit. Even if he had the prototypes of all the Noble Phantasms in his treasury, the reserves of A-Rank Noble Phantasms weren't very numerous.
It could be considered a Noble Phantasm second only to EA. Now to deal with the bastards, he wasted four of them at once...
Luckily, with such a powerful impact, it would be impossible for that bastard to survive.
"Gilgamesh, you are very willing."
A familiar voice suddenly came from a torrent of magic power in the distance.
It's Ryota's voice!
Gilgamesh's face darkened.
Explosion!
A sea of flames spread out and the atmosphere surged.
Ryota slashes through the impact of the explosion and stream of magic power, jumps out, and reappears in front of Gilgamesh.
"Bastard… you are quite strong!"
Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes halfway, and his eyes fell on Ryota.
Ryota's clothes were tattered, and there were several small cuts on his skin that were exposed.
Four A-Rank Noble Phantasms collapsed on the body… unexpectedly, this was the only result!?
Even though he was King of Heroes, he couldn't help but fall into astonishment at this moment.
"Your attacks are very effective, Gilgamesh." Ryota smirked and said. "I should thank you for helping me measure some of my limits so quickly."
That's all for the test, no need to continue. Because even if Gilgamesh were to issue an EA attack, it wouldn't be doing him any more serious damage than now.
No matter how powerful EA's attacks were, they were only that big in size, and the damage he could actually take wasn't as much as imagined… No, EA didn't have a "must hit" feature, and it wasn't certain if he could hit them.
At this point, there's no point in continuing to test. Ryota decides to end the battle now.
"By the way, King of Conqueror...is it up there?"
He glanced at the sky and saw a bull chariot flying under the thunder and lightning.
The eyes of the two collided.
Ryota felt the fighting spirit in the opponent's eyes.
In the next second, a scorching hot wind blew across the ground.
Curved space.
Ryota felt that there was a force colliding with the concept of [Time River Immortality], trying to catch it by going through "Time Slowing".
If he left quickly now, he might be able to escape. But he didn't, he guessed that Iskandar was using Marbel's Reality, Ionioi Hetairoi, intending to drag everyone there.
If he left now, the safety of others would not be guaranteed.
The big move didn't just surprise Ryota.
Kiritsugu and the others noticed that the surroundings were changing.
The city street scene quickly disappeared. Instead, there is an endless desert.
The hot wind blows on your face, and you also feel the soft yellow sand under your feet.
All the details tell everyone that the change in environment is not an illusion.
"Marbel's Reality...!?" Irisviel exclaimed.
Ryota looks ahead, and Iskandar gathers his troops.
He glanced to the far left again, and Gilgamesh was also interested in entering.
It seems Iskandar wants his battle to be in the spotlight.
Just as history needs to be witnessed.
"Haha... It's this king's army!"
Iskandar's roar echoed: "People who blaspheme the king, let's fight here!"
"Bastard! Do you want to interfere in this king battle!" Gilgamesh's roar followed behind.
Disputes arose between the two kings.
The other side.
Ryota made a decision in his heart. In fact, here, he had no reason to fight Iskandar.
Because Gilgamesh had helped him scale some of the [Time River Immortality]'s limits, his goal had been achieved.
Whether he wants to fight or not...
(Forget it, Gilgamesh first, I don't think Iskandar will just give up on me, let's settle this trivial matter as soon as possible.)
Thinking of this, Ryota quickly made a decision. At the same time, his eyes became sharper.
At this time, Iskandar and Gilgamesh were in a state of contention that did not want to let each other go.
Ryota didn't care about the etiquette on the battlefield, he didn't say a single unreasonable word, holding the Ming Hong Sword, he rushed to the army formation where Iskandar was. This time, he did not limit his strength.
The real all-out battle has begun!
boom—
Tremendous lightning resounded across the desert.
Ryota broke the speed of sound several times and rushed forward against a huge cloud of sonic booms. The distance between the two sides resets to zero within one second.
He crashed into the army formation like a bullet. The simple collision brought about a landslide-like force. Like a long sword that penetrated the entire battlefield.
Countless roars sounded, and many people in Iskandar's army were smashed to pieces, their bodies mixed with yellow sand.
This bloody and violent scene shocked everyone watching the battle.
It also made Iskandar wake up in an instant, and he no longer cared about the dispute with Gilgamesh, and started to organize troops to fight back.
Unfortunately... too soon!
Ryota is too fast!
His eyes couldn't catch up with Ryota at all, so he could only use his voice to lock in his position. However, every time the sound entered his ear, he looked for it, and only the yellow stubble and sand were flying in the sky. In supersonic combat, sound can no longer feed back any information.
Because it's too slow!
"This bastard...!"
Not only Iskandar surprised, but also Gilgamesh.
He also couldn't see Ryota's movements clearly either. All that could be seen were the continuously exploding airwaves, rolled limbs and large amounts of yellow sand. Ice and fire crystals that appear from time to time.
The soldiers were cut into pieces by the sword light with a freezing trait.
The large expanse of yellow sand was vitrified by the sudden flames. In less than a minute, thousands of people died.
Without the support of these people's magical powers, the Marbel Reality would quickly lead to a collapse.
Gilgamesh dared not hesitate any longer, and took EA out of the treasury.
When EA appears, Marbel Reality collapses under Ryota's attack.
Iskandar died in one strike from [Supernova Blade of Heaven Abyss]
Gilgamesh happened to see this scene. He took a fleeting chance and released EA in that direction.
A huge wind pressure appeared.
The space was shattered from a series of faults, forming a huge torrent that exploded forward.
The EX-Rank Anti-World Noble Phantasm carried world-destroying power. But after the catastrophic space fracture occurred, Ryota's figure still appeared in Gilgamesh's field of vision.
The wounds on the body did not increase.
"Sure enough, my prediction was correct. This thing can't deal with me...!"
Like a flash of lightning, Ryota teleported to Gilgamesh in an instant. Ming Hong Sword pressed against him.
The movement generated a shockwave, which spread to both sides under his control, without affecting the two's stance.
Only then did his voice reach Gilgamesh's ears
Gilgamesh's face was very gloomy.
Lose... He really lost!
"King of Heroes, do you have anything else to say?"
As if confirming his victory, Ryota asked.
"Hmph… bastard, I have to admit, you are the stronger one now."
"..."
Poof –
Ryota destroys Gilgamesh's spiritual core, and mutters: "Fool."
