"Since that's the case, all I need to do is vaporize you in your blood state, and that should take care of you, right?"
Upon hearing these words, Ba Wanxi, who had previously looked down on the current Lancelot, suddenly changed her expression.
Then, as the fairy Lancelot once again transformed into lightning and charged at her, Ba Wanxi hurriedly manipulated the surrounding vast amount of blood water to shield herself. But under that blinding lightning, all defenses were instantly shattered.
At this moment, a broad figure suddenly leaped toward Ba Wanxi, and after grabbing her and throwing her aside, the figure brandished a sword and charged toward the fairy Lancelot.
With a loud collision echoing through the sky, an invisible shockwave expanded outward from the point of impact, and Ba Wanxi's body once again fell helplessly from the sky.
"Fool! Don't try to lead the offense, just cover me!" After shouting at Ba Wanxi, she once again swung her sword to face Melujina.
"Do you think you can team up from both afar and close to fight me?"
Easily dodging Ba Wanxi's slash, Melujina reappeared in the air and, looking at the two who were fully prepared, nodded lightly.
"Fine, it's rare that the three of us, the fairy knights, can gather outside of a conference... Then let's fight!"
"Let me see if you truly deserve to share the name of the fairy knight with me!"
She then turned into lightning again and struck directly at the falling Ba Wanxi.
"Is it unlucky or fortunate? Although that guy's power has clearly grown, her intelligence seems to have dropped... No, maybe it's more like she's gotten too arrogant?"
Looking down at the battle below, Guinevere muttered to himself while floating above on Ba Wanxi's blood platform.
"Eh? What do you mean by that?" Altria asked curiously.
"The owner of that gun, I've heard of them... Uh, you can think of them as a kind of fairy in the Grand Order... A very combative and arrogant individual," Guinevere slowly explained.
"And now, Lancelot is probably affected by that gun. She's become arrogant and combative as well."
"Given her current speed, she could easily bypass Ba Wanxi to first take care of her, then come back to deal with us later. But she's not doing that. Instead, she's overestimating herself and wants to defeat Ba Wanxi head-on while being shielded, and then deal with us afterward."
"And that's our chance."
With that, Guinevere turned to Altria again.
"So, do you have any more useful tools on you? Even something that can instantly restore stamina would work. If I join the battle, we'll still have a chance at winning this three-on-one."
"Well... Let me search..."
With that, Altria began to hastily rummage through her storage space. She tossed various items out one after another, and soon enough, the ground below was piled with random objects.
For a moment, Guinevere felt as though there was something lodged in his throat.
"Not this again! Can you not pull the 'Blue Fatty' trope here? You can't just pull out random things from your fourth-dimensional pocket in a panic!" he exclaimed.
"Blue... Fatty?" Altria instinctively touched her stomach and said, "I'm not gaining weight!"
However, just then, Guinevere's eyes were suddenly drawn to something Altria had just thrown out.
"What is this?" he asked, noticing an object that looked like a magnifying glass.
"Oh! That's a one-time magnifying glass!" Altria explained.
"I know it's a magnifying glass," Guinevere said, "but why is it one-time use... Wait, are you saying—?"
"Ah..." Altria scratched her head, looking somewhat confused. "This magnifying glass can enlarge a target by about a thousand times, but only for one minute."
"Holy crap, isn't that invincible?" Guinevere's eyes widened. "Why didn't you use this earlier? Just enlarge me a thousand times and I'll punch Lancelot to death!"
"No, it can't be used on living beings!" Altria shook her head. "It can only be used on objects! Even if you enlarged your weapon a thousand times, you couldn't wield it, let alone hit Lancelot!"
"...Right."
Hearing this, Guinevere slumped, looking back down at the battlefield, then turned his gaze back to the pile of objects Altria had thrown out. Then, he noticed a notebook.
"What's this?" Guinevere asked as he caught the notebook.
He recalled that, during a previous simulation with the Blood King, Altria had used a powerful notebook that could ban certain types of magic. If this notebook had a similar effect, they could potentially ban Lancelot's flight and lightning abilities, which would make things easier.
"Uh, this..." Altria narrowed her eyes and looked at the notebook before answering. "This was my failed attempt at making something like the 'Ban List' or the 'Death Note.' The only thing it does is to write down someone's name, and you'll learn their true identity."
"..."
Guinevere furrowed his brows.
The True Name Notebook wasn't exactly useless. If this were a typical Holy Grail War, knowing a servant's true name unconditionally would be very powerful. But the problem was, they weren't in the Holy Grail War right now, and everyone knew Lancelot's true name was Albion anyway. It wouldn't help much in this battle.
"You... you don't have anything that works the way you originally intended?" Guinevere's face turned dark.
"Actually... I do." After thinking for a moment, Guinevere saw Altria pull out a metal ring from her storage space.
"What's this used for?" he asked.
"Uh... this ring is called the Binding Ring. If you hold it and lock onto a target, you can force them into a ten-meter radius with you. As long as the ring isn't broken, the target can't escape within twenty meters," Altria explained.
As she finished, she sighed, adding, "But it probably won't work now, right? I mean, whoever traps Lancelot in that twenty-meter range will just be asking for death."
"..."
Taking the so-called Binding Ring, Guinevere looked at the description and thought for a while.
"...You know what? This might just work."
After observing the battlefield for a moment, Guinevere suddenly slapped his thigh.
"Altria! You're a genius!"
"Eh?" Altria looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"This, this ring was designed for catching you with the Paru Ball, but now we can use it in this battle!"
"Ah!" Altria's eyes lit up, and she finally understood. "You're saying we should use it for this?"
"Right." Guinevere nodded seriously. "So, as the creator, I need you to tell me, is it possible?"
"...Theoretically, yes. I'd say about a 60% chance?" Altria responded with some uncertainty.
"That's enough for us to gamble."
Guinevere nodded, then immediately shouted down below.
"Ba Wanxi! You took everything out of the Scenic Ball, right? Now, transfer the control to Altria!"
"Ah? Oh! Okay!" Hearing Guinevere's command, Ba Wanxi didn't fully understand his plan, but she quickly complied. The Scenic Ball above her head floated over to Altria.
As the control was transferred, Guinevere raised the magnifying glass and directed it at the floating ball, injecting magic power.
In the next moment, the ball in the sky suddenly began to expand. In the blink of an eye, its length, width, and height all multiplied by ten, and its overall volume expanded by a thousand times.
Then, Guinevere threw the Binding Ring toward Ba Wanxi.
"Ba Wanxi, catch this! When I tell you to, use it on Lancelot, inject magic, and be ready to turn into blood!"
"Eh? Eh?!"
Before Ba Wanxi could react, however, Altria had already acted first.
She manipulated the now one-meter-tall crystal ball and swiftly dropped it to the ground. She then gathered all the remaining magic power in her body and infused it into the ball.
Then, the earth... vanished.
Or more precisely, the prison island vanished.
The city, which had already been reduced to ruins in the battle, and the island beneath it—both disappeared in an instant.
As Lancelot and Ba Wanxi, still in combat, came to their senses, they found themselves standing on empty space, with only a massive hole in the ground beneath them. In the distance, the lake water, which had been displaced due to the disappearance of the prison island, began to rush into the hole.
Immediately after, their bodies began to fall.
"Ba Wanxi, release your form! Don't resist! Go into the ball now! Ba Wanxi! Use the Binding Ring on Lancelot!"
While issuing commands, Guinevere tossed the Paru Ball toward Ba Wanxi.
Meanwhile, Altria slightly lifted the crystal ball in the air again. After Guinevere threw the Paru Ball, she tossed the crystal ball toward the battlefield.
As the crystal ball flew toward its target, Altria pulled the scenery inside out.
In an instant, the bodies of the three fairy knights were overshadowed by a massive shadow from above.
Looking at the giant island above them falling
