Crack!
Across from Artoria, Frey snapped a spatial prism growing from the air, transforming it into a long spear in her hand.
At the same time, the Sky Queen's wings radiated a holy white light, flowing as if alive.
Frey had already recognized the Snow Empress's threat.
But this strange female swordsman, Artoria, exerted pressure no less formidable.
'One after another... where does he find these subordinates?'
Frey envied Damien's luck. She could only dream of encountering talents like the Snow Empress and Artoria.
"Here it comes, Sky Queen!"
Artoria ignored Frey's distraction, issuing a warning before preparing her attack.
"Hmph!"
Frey snorted, unfazed.
She was serious now... no longer caught off guard by Artoria's storm-like slashes as before.
"Who do you think I am?"
"I am... "
Before she could finish, a chilling sensation struck her!
"What?!"
A glimpse of pale blue haori flashed into view, a black scarf fluttering around the neck, and a blonde girl wielding a samurai sword pierced the air like a phantom, appearing before Frey.
Clang!!!
Frey swung her spatial spear, barely blocking the near-lethal strike.
Even so, her heart raced with shock and astonishment at this sudden new figure.
When had she appeared, and from where?!
The speed of that slash was so blinding that even Frey nearly failed to react.
"Transformation?"
"Or an illusion?"
Frey had no time to ponder.
The second slash followed the first, and an even more terrifying third came right after.
"First step, swifter than sound..."
"Second step, infinite suffering..."
"Third step, the absolute sword!"
Three flashes of blade light descended, and Frey felt a cascade of white feathers fall from her wings.
She had blocked the attack.
But the sharp, tearing pain in her wings told her the cost was steep!
Her feathers, harder than the world's toughest alloys, had their defenses breached.
Her wings were wounded.
"Damn it!"
Frey furiously unleashed her spatial magic, countless spatial blades shredding the girl in the pale blue haori.
But!
The struck figure rippled like water and vanished before Frey's eyes.
"This?!"
Frey wanted to call it an illusion, a petty trick.
But the force of those three slashes, the sensation of her spear clashing with them, was undeniably real!
Swish! Swish!
As she pondered, two more figures appeared before Frey.
Two girls, nearly identical to Artoria.
One in white, one in black, their knightly swords attacked from both sides.
"They're back!"
Frey reacted swiftly, blocking the black sword with one hand while her foot transformed into a bird's claw to parry the white sword.
"Where did you come from?"
The black-sword-wielding girl's eyes were obscured, her dark armor etched with blood-red patterns, exuding an aura of malevolence.
In contrast, the pure white girl wore ceremonial armor like a dress, her dual-wielding knightly sword radiating holy light.
It was unimaginable that the same face could embody such extremes.
"You blocked it?"
"How about this?"
The two had no interest in chatting with Frey.
They pressed their attack, but Frey anticipated their move, leaping backward into the air.
"Naive!"
"An opening!"
Artoria Alter's demonic sword and Artoria Lily's holy sword erupted with crimson-black and golden-blue light.
"Not good!!"
Realizing their intent, Frey crossed her arms and spread her wings, wrapping herself in them.
"Caliburn!!"
"Excalibur Morgan)!!"
One crimson-black, one golden-blue, two torrents of magical energy surged as if to devour everything.
[Sky Sovereign · Mirror Space]
Frey's wings shimmered, becoming as smooth as a mirror.
The combined magical cannon hit, hesitated for a moment, then refracted like light off a mirror, hurtling toward a distant mountain.
Mountains crumbled... one, two, three.
Then!
Boom!!!
A massive mushroom cloud rose from the distant earth.
The fused magical cannon wasn't just powerful... it represented a qualitative leap in magic.
It incorporated the principles of explosive magic that Artoria had learned from Damien.
Thus, the already devastating magical cannon became a super-nuclear spell.
Thankfully, this was within the Snow Empress's Reality Marble.
Outside, countless innocent lives would have perished under this strike.
"So… so powerful…"
"What terrifying destructive force!"
The Tengu onlookers were stunned by the magical cannon's might.
While an A-rank majin could shake a mountain, that was nothing compared to this apocalyptic spectacle.
"Is this the aid Kaede-sama called to save us?"
"I heard they're related to Benimaru-sama's family."
"So strong... too strong!"
"To ally with such powerhouses, I approve of this marriage!"
"…"
Amateurs watched the show, but experts saw the craft.
The Ice Empress roughly compared her strength to Artoria's.
Her conclusion: No chance!
"I'm completely outmatched!"
The Ice Empress truly felt the tides of fate shifting.
In the Nasuverse, she'd seen Artoria as weak.
Now, Artoria could trounce her like a dog.
"The cardinal world is blatantly biased."
What was wrong with soul beasts? Did they eat the world's rice?
Why were Heroic Spirits treated as superior?
Artoria's base magicules were 100,000... far beyond the Ice Empress's reach.
"Go, Artoria-nee~~~"
Unlike the scheming Ice Empress, Egorpon cheerfully waved her Tera Crystals, rooting for Artoria.
