Chapter 210 Victory and Wishes
"Thump!"
"Bang!"
"clang!"
On this battlefield shrouded in night, two figures enveloped in magic are locked in fierce combat on the ground.
Karna, enveloped in crimson flames.
And Shirou Kotomine, enveloped in jet-black magical power.
The two were unleashing their power to the fullest, demonstrating the true meaning of destruction on this land.
Long-range magic shooting battle.
High-speed chase.
Close-quarters combat.
All sorts of battles took place on this battlefield.
Both Karna and Shirou Kotomine are exceptionally talented all-rounders, capable of making any technique extremely effective in their hands.
Perhaps Shirou Kotomine is not as good as Karna in terms of pure technique.
But he had already gained the upper hand.
For him, pure technology was no longer enough to influence the situation on the battlefield.
The battle between Karna and Shirou Kotomine was more of a battle of magic and Noble Phantasms.
The scorching flames burned brightly in the night.
The mana supply system prepared by the Yggdrasil family for this Holy Grail War, which provides mana to the seven Servants, is currently operating at full capacity, but is solely for Karna.
From this point on, Karna no longer needed to worry about mana consumption.
He can use all his strength in this final battle.
Just like this moment.
Under Karna's flames, this land has become a world of fire.
Karna continuously transforms his magic into flames.
As the son of the sun god, Karna's flames are even more terrifying.
By wrapping these flames around his weapons and body, Karna will be engulfed in flames wherever he goes.
In addition, he unleashed his Noble Phantasm without hesitation.
This land is no longer what it used to be.
Brahma, curse my body!
Brahma, cover the earth!
Both of these Noble Phantasms are A+ rank, with astonishing power.
The former is a national treasure weapon that projects flames onto a spear, while the latter is an anti-military treasure weapon that shoots scorching rays from the eyes.
Regardless of the type, its power is something that ordinary Servants would find difficult to withstand.
Karna could use such powerful moves with ease.
At this point, he no longer concealed himself at all.
Under the relentless onslaught of these attacks, this land, once merely battlefield ruins, has been transformed into a scorching hell.
This is Karna's attack power.
Although this is not his limit, it is already unimaginable.
With the added protection of his Noble Phantasm, "Sun Wheel, Transform into Armor," Karna, who would only suffer one-tenth of the damage, was practically an impenetrable fortress.
Both offense and defense are at their peak.
This is Karna!
Moreover, this was Karna in a state of perfect magical energy.
Even when facing such an enemy, Shirou Kotomine still maintained his confidence in absolute victory.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Chiron to find Fiore to provide Karna with magic.
Kotomine Shirou walked slowly through the flames.
The flames that could instantly incinerate ordinary humans could not burn Shirou Kotomine, nor could they stop his advance.
After undergoing various enhancements, Shirou Kotomine was no longer worried about being burned by the flames.
After all, his physical strength was already astonishing.
It also has very strong magic resistance.
It even possesses magic resistance inherited from Achilles.
Shirou Kotomine is not afraid of flames that are merely transformed from magic.
Unless it's a direct hit from a Noble Phantasm.
Otherwise, it's completely useless.
However powerful Karna's Noble Phantasm is, it is useless if he cannot hit Kotomine Shirou.
Having received Achilles' power, Shirou Kotomine's speed was now beyond imagination.
After all, in terms of basic speed, Shirou Kotomine is far superior to Achilles.
Like Tomoe Gozen, Kotomine Shirou also possesses attributes that exceed the limits of a Servant.
Everyone is at a different level.
However, Shirou Kotomine's speed is merely a base attribute.
Achilles not only possesses top-tier speed among Servants, but also has speed boosts from his skills and Noble Phantasm.
That's why his speed surpassed that of Kotomine Shirou.
However, after receiving Achilles' full power, Achilles' top-tier speed as a Servant was also granted to Shirou Kotomine.
In addition, Shirou Kotomine also inherited Achilles' skills and Noble Phantasm.
Under these circumstances, Shirou Kotomine's speed is unimaginable.
Lightning speed?
Perhaps only such a general term can be used to describe it.
At this speed, it would be difficult for Karna to hit Shirou Kotomine with his Noble Phantasm.
At this moment, the duel between Shirou Kotomine and Karna is like the scene in the Fifth Holy Grail War when the corrupted Artoria fought against Medusa.
One side consists of warriors with extremely strong magical output capabilities.
One was a cavalryman with unimaginable speed.
However, the two people at this time were enhanced versions of the two people from that battle.
Holding Achilles' spear in one hand, Shirou Kotomine smiled as he looked at Karna, who was slowly descending from the sky.
A smile was on Shirou Kotomine's face at that moment.
This is precisely where Kotomine Shirou's confidence in winning came from.
Even without Shirou Kotomine, Karna would have a hard time contending with Achilles in his normal state, unless he uses his strongest Noble Phantasm.
However, his strongest Noble Phantasm is countered by Achilles' Noble Phantasm.
As for Shirou Mine, after receiving Achilles' power, he became even more terrifying in his normal state.
This will only make Karna even more difficult to deal with.
Even though he possessed abundant magical power.
Kotomine Shirou's figure transformed into a rainbow of light, seemingly piercing through time and space, and arrived directly in front of Karna.
The sharp tip of the spear was pointed directly at Karna's head.
But it only sent him flying.
Kotomine Shirou did not see any further injuries on him.
That's normal, after all, he has the protection of the golden armor.
Thus, a scene unfolded that seemed destined to continue indefinitely.
Kotomine Shirou's attacks couldn't inflict much damage on Karna, while Karna found it difficult to hit Kotomine Shirou with his Noble Phantasm.
The battle continued in this manner.
In the blink of an eye, several hours had passed, and the sun was about to rise.
Back on the ground, Shirou Kotomine and Karna returned to their standoff, neither of them showing any signs of injury.
But this plain, which served as their battlefield, has been completely destroyed.
The tearing of black light.
The burning of flames.
In addition to the destruction caused by the melee combat, this place no longer resembles a plain.
On the contrary, the ruins fit the description better.
In addition, even the forests that once surrounded the plains have been completely wiped out.
This place no longer resembles its former self at all.
Looking at the unharmed Shirou Kotomine and Karna, a sense of absurdity arises spontaneously.
"Thanks!"
After things calmed down, Karna said with a smile.
He expressed his gratitude to Shiro Kotomine.
He had been waiting for this kind of all-out, fierce battle for far too long.
In order to fulfill his wish, Shirou Kotomine even solved the problem of magic supply for him.
To be honest, Karna had no intention of continuing to fight for the Holy Grail at this point.
He would gladly die at the hands of the other party right now.
To hand over the identity of the victor in the Holy Grail War to the other party.
But he couldn't do that.
From the other person's eyes, Karna could tell that the other person was a proud person.
He won't accept charity from others.
That was an insult to him.
"Now, let me respond with my strongest attack!"
Endless flames reignited on Karna's body.
But this time, his armor began to slowly disappear, and a golden spear appeared in his hand.
This is a weapon completely different from the guns he usually uses.
The God-Slaying Spear is revealed at this moment.
After discarding his golden armor, Karna finally grasped the most powerful spear.
Endless flames surged from his body, igniting everything around him.
Everything.
"Realize the mercy of the King of Gods."
"Indra, watch closely."
"Extinction lies in this one stab."
"Burn completely!"
O sun, submit to death.
At this moment, Shirou Kotomine seemed to be engulfed in a world of flames, and at the center of this world was only the man wielding the Spear of God.
At this moment, Karna seemed like a god-king raising the spear of judgment.
Although he was covered in his own blood.
But that's precisely what makes it so awe-inspiring.
That was a truly beautiful scene.
A sense of impending death enveloped Shirou Kotomine; every gene in his body was urging him to flee.
Because if he were shot, he would have no chance of survival.
This is the gun of death.
The God-Slaying Spear is raised high, and the divine spear made of lightning is pointed at Kotomine Shirou.
Faced with this attack, Shirou Kotomine drew Achilles' shield and held it in front of him, then shouted his true name: "The Small World Encircling the Heavens!"
Endless light burst forth from the shield in Shirou Kotomine's hand.
It was an endless sense of expansion.
A world is expanding.
It stood in front of Shirou Kotomine.
The EX-rank Noble Phantasm, "Sun Wheel, Obey Death," is an anti-god Noble Phantasm whose power is sufficient to completely destroy all single beings in the world.
Living beings, non-living beings, and even any object, including magical beasts, mythical beasts, divine beasts, humans, shields, armies, cities, barriers, gods—nothing can withstand it.
But only the world can stand against it. Even gods cannot destroy the world. Even if everything, including gods, were to perish, the world would still exist.
In other words, the protection based on the concept of "the world" cannot be penetrated by this attack.
In fact, the shield that Mineshiro holds embodies the concept of "the world".
"The Small World Surrounding the Sky" is itself a protective barrier treasure that can rival "Sevenfold Rings of Blazing Heaven".
It is a shield made by Hephaestus, the god of forging, on which the world seen by Achilles is projected, and the surrounding area is filled with the surging of ocean currents caused by the sea god.
To confront this shield is to confront the world.
Once unleashed, this shield can defend against individuals, armies, cities, nations, and even divine artifacts.
With this shield, Achilles was able to completely subdue Karna.
If Achilles doesn't unleash his ultimate Noble Phantasm, he can still maintain his chances of winning.
After all, the Golden Armor is indeed very powerful.
But once he unleashes his ultimate Noble Phantasm, his defeat will come immediately.
Furthermore, Shirou Kotomine, who has received the power of Achilles, is able to completely overwhelm Karna in his normal state.
Therefore, Shirou Kotomine was confident of victory.
The moment Karna defeated Achilles, Karna had no chance of winning.
That's why Shirou Kotomine dared to give Karna ample magical power.
This is not because he has become arrogant.
Rather, it stemmed from his absolute self-confidence.
"This is a world!"
The lightning spear struck the world in front of Shirou Kotomine but was blocked, and then slowly disappeared.
At that moment, Karna immediately understood what had happened.
He was naturally aware of the weakness of his Noble Phantasm.
Moreover, he truly saw an entire world reflected in that shield.
"puff!"
Fresh blood spurted out.
Kotomine Shirou stood sideways in front of Karna, his spear already piercing Karna's chest.
Because Karna must discard his golden armor in order to unleash the God-Slaying Spear.
And once abandoned, it cannot be retrieved.
Therefore, Karna has lost his ability to defend himself at this moment.
Unsurprisingly, having only been able to fight against Shirou Kotomine with his bare hands, he was pierced through by the spear in Shirou Kotomine's hand.
Blood continued to flow from his wounds and mouth.
"I lost!"
"Thank you, I'm very satisfied."
Karna gave a weak smile, and then gradually disappeared from Kotomine Shirou's sight.
His power has flowed into Shirou Kotomine's body.
At this point, there were no more Servants left in this Holy Grail War; all the Servants had been defeated by Shirou Kotomine and absorbed into his body.
"I won?"
Bright sunlight appeared before Shirou Kotomine's eyes.
The night is over.
The light has arrived.
The sun rose again, bathing Shirou Kotomine in golden light.
The sun has risen.
"Yes, you have won. You are now the victor in this Holy Grail War."
Jeanne's voice came from behind Shirou Kotomine.
Having descended through possession, she is now the last Servant.
However, she was not a participant in the Holy Grail War; she was the referee of the Holy Grail War.
At this moment, she awarded the title of victor to Shirou Kotomine.
"Looks like I did it!"
Kotomine Shirou smiled slightly.
After several days of preparation, Shirou Kotomine ended the Holy Grail War in one night.
Of the sixteen Servants, only one referee remains.
Such a record has already surpassed that of the man known as "Emiya the Great Hero".
"You did it."
When they descended from the Hanging Gardens together, Joan of Arc already knew of Shirou Kotomine's target.
The Holy Grail War ended in one night.
She still couldn't quite believe it at the time.
But the facts were already laid bare before her.
"Now you should make a wish."
"Of course, this is the normal procedure, but now the normal procedure can obviously no longer continue. The Greater Grail has been put away by you, and so have the souls of all the Servants."
"So what are you planning to do next?"
Joan of Arc inquired.
Turning around, Shirou Kotomine, bathed in sunlight, looked at Jeanne d'Arc before him.
He paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have everything prepared."
