As Mo Wang and the others entered the deep pit of Ryuudou Temple, on the other side, on the high ground where the Greater Grail was located, the black holy sword wielder, leaning on her sword, opened her eyes, clearly having sensed something.
The atmosphere in the tunnel was somewhat oppressive. Olga Marie, who was the least physically fit, was already starting to pant slightly.
"Director, maybe we should take a break?" Mo Wang asked, seeing Olga Marie's uncomfortable expression.
"No need. I may not be as amazing as you all, but don't you dare underestimate me." Olga Marie's face showed a stubborn expression.
"Is that so? Then let's pick up the pace."
Seeing the Director's stubborn look, Mo Wang didn't say much.
Although he could see that she was currently running on fumes, forcibly holding on, he still had no intention of stopping her.
After all, he knew the Director. A person as proud as her would never allow herself to slow down the team.
Even if she had to grit her teeth and crawl, she would definitely choose to keep up with everyone.
The tunnel they were in wasn't very long, but the moment they rushed out and saw the high ground, all the magi, both amateur and professional, were stunned by the sight.
"What is this..."
The moment Mash saw the high ground, she felt a repulsive aura.
The extremely dense magical energy in the air, far from making her feel comfortable, made her feel nauseous.
The scene before her was something Mash had never seen before.
However, when Olga Marie saw it, she recognized it at a glance.
"Isn't this... a super high-grade magical reactor core... Could this be the so-called Greater Grail?"
Olga Marie felt her worldview being challenged. This thing was completely different from the Holy Grail she had imagined.
"Ho?"
In the vast and empty space, where even speech echoed, the figure that appeared on the high ground was, of course, the very familiar King Arthur.
Although the one before them had not only turned black, but even her trademark ahoge was nowhere to be seen.
"By the way, what do you call Saber King without her ahoge? Is it... Salter? Tsk, sounds a little weird. As expected, a Saber King without her ahoge has no soul."
Although the figure before them was shrouded in an ominous black magical energy, without a trace of the King of Knights' radiance, giving off the feeling of a ferocious beast, Mo Wang could still joke around without a care.
"Such powerful magical energy..." Looking at Saber in the distance, Olga Marie couldn't help but sigh. The magical energy pouring out of her had already vaporized to the point of being visible to the naked eye.
No matter how you looked at it, the Saber before them was fundamentally different from all the Servants they had encountered before.
She exuded a sense of visual pressure.
"Is that... Saber?" Seeing Salter, Mash subconsciously raised her shield in front of her, aiming it at the Saber before them.
"A shield?" Salter pulled the holy sword from the ground.
The once-invisible blade was now not only clearly visible, but also had an abnormal appearance of intertwined black and red, which could no longer be called a holy sword. It was more appropriate to call it a demonic sword. "Prepare yourself, unknown girl. Whether your shield is indestructible or not shall be confirmed by this sword."
"So, we're just being ignored? I'm feeling a little hurt." Seeing that Saber only had eyes for Mash and didn't even spare him and Mo Wang a glance, Cú Chulainn felt a little triggered.
He was the one who had been resisting in this world before Chaldea arrived, right?
And he had even considered her his rival.
"Don't be ridiculous. It's not the first time you've been ignored. Who told you that you're basically the comic relief in everyone else's eyes?"
Mo Wang shrugged helplessly. Although the Doggo was strong and popular, most of the time he appeared, he was the one being persecuted.
Tough luck, Doggo, tough luck.
Ignoring the Doggo, whose Dao heart was shattering, Mo Wang turned his gaze to Salter.
When it came to the strength of Artoria Pendragon (Alter), what was the general first impression?
FSN players would answer: "Damn infinite beam spam!"
Viewers of Carnival Phantasm would say: "Salter, maid outfit! Comedy master!"
FGO players would probably say: "Mana Burst! Beam spam! High multiplier!!"
Of course, none of that was the point.
"Whoa, that's spectacular."
Salter held the holy sword in her hand, and a torrential surge of magical energy converged high in the sky. The materialized magical energy made the pillar of light look like a giant lightsaber.
"This thing is way cooler than a fifty-meter anti-ship sword! Get me one of those too!"
Mo Wang looked at the giant pillar of light. If that thing were to come crashing down, Fuyuki City would probably be split in two.
"Senpai, stop joking around! I can't block that thing!"
Seeing the giant light beam, Mash shouted at Mo Wang beside her.
If that thing came down, they would probably all be turned into dust.
"Don't panic, Mash. It's just a light beam. Watch me hit it back with the Judgement of Shamash!"
Mo Wang stared at the pillar of light in the distance, his face showing no signs of panic. Instead, he looked calm and composed. He lowered his head slightly, brought his hands together in front of his chest, and began to use Projection Magecraft.
"Trace, on!" His voice was clear and firm, as if announcing the impending battle.
Amidst the panicked gazes of the others, two extremely unique-looking pistols gradually materialized in Mo Wang's hands.
With a low shout, the pistols instantly transformed into a greatsword, its blade shimmering with a dazzling flame, like a fire ignited from the abyss.
"Judgement of Shamash! Unsheathed!" As he shouted, flames erupted like a raging tide, instantly illuminating the space around him. The temperature rose sharply, the air filled with a scorching heat.
The giant pillar of fire shot up into the sky, creating a stark contrast with the lightsaber in Saber's hand, two different yet equally dazzling lights.
"What is that?!"
Looking at the pillar of fire that pierced the heavens, everyone's expression became extremely interesting.
Mo Wang... he still had such a trick up his sleeve?!
Even the Saber on the other side hesitated for a moment when she saw the greatsword in Mo Wang's hand.
What on earth is that guy!
