Rin stood in the center of the empty Allied Forces' main camp, slowly stretching her body.
"1...2...3...4. One more time! Phew!"
Having completed her warm-up, Rin's eyes gradually became resolute. She gently patted ishtars bow beside her, which was restless, then dispelled her goddess form and slowly walked towards the Paris city walls.
Through previous engagements, the Allied Forces had reached a consensus on Black Saber's strength, concluding that currently, only Rin within the entire Allied Forces could defeat Black Saber.
Ultimately, the Allied Forces decided to bypass Paris entirely and engage the Britain reinforcements in a decisive battle, while Rin would attack Paris alone.
Of course, there were some minor issues before this decision was made. Although the French side didn't fully understand Rin's strength and only had a rough guess, just by looking at the destruction caused during Black Saber's battles, it was highly likely that two Black Saber-level individuals fighting in Paris would completely obliterate the city.
Therefore, the French side had repeatedly objected before the decision was made. After several rounds of discussion with no resolution, they could only grit their teeth and accept this battle plan.
Standing on the city wall, Black Saber watched Rin Tohsaka, clad in a red jacket, slowly appear below the Paris city wall, a smile full of fighting spirit appearing on her face.
"Bradamante, lead the Knights through the small path to rendezvous with my army. The battle there is yours!"
"But... My King!"
Bradamante, about to say something, had the rest of her words forced back by Black Saber's eyes, which were filled with fighting spirit. Bradamante understood that this was her King's expectation, and her King's battlefield was not something a subordinate like herself should disturb.
"Yes, My King! Your Servant will defeat the Allied Forces and welcome your victorious return!"
With that, Bradamante clenched her fists, flicked her ponytail, and led the Knights, kicking up dust as they galloped into the distance.
Black Saber leaned on the city wall, looking at Rin, who stood still below, watching her. She said happily.
"Rin Tohsaka!"
"Artoria!"
"Hahahaha, I witnessed you in the last Holy Grail War, but unfortunately, I couldn't fight you. Now I finally have the chance, hahahaha!"
Rin looked at Black Saber, who was laughing maniacally on the city wall, shrugged casually, and then casually swiped her left hand to her side. A spatial rift appeared next to Rin, and then five fist-sized gems, shimmering with warm light, flew out of the rift.
"Teacher's Second Magic derivative is truly useful, but unfortunately... sigh!"
Black Saber looked at the five elemental gems floating around Rin and instantly recognized them as a set of high-level Mystic Codes, causing her to frown slightly.
"Rin Tohsaka! Do you intend to face me in this form? What about your goddess form...!"
Rin did not answer Black Saber, merely gently stirring her magical energy, causing the five elemental gems to orbit her like satellites. At the same time, she shot rays representing the five elements of Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Void (which is small-source magical energy - Aether, also understood as celestial attributes, or pure magical energy!) towards Black Saber.
As the rays, moving at nearly the speed of light, struck the area where Black Saber was, Black Saber soon burst out of the smoke and dust created by Rin's magic, her face filled with fury.
"Rin Tohsaka~!"
The light of Reinforcement Magic illuminated Rin's body. She calmly dodged Black Saber's sword, instantly creating distance between them, while simultaneously manipulating the five elemental gems gathered at her chest to accelerate their rotation and approach.
"Five elements, heed my command! Gather! Manifest the Light of Creation!"
The five elemental gems, as they rotated, burst forth with dazzling magical energy. The five rays emitted from the gems, under Rin's manipulation, converged and transformed into the purest light attribute. Carrying high temperatures capable of distorting the air, they formed a Magic Cannon several meters thick that directly blasted towards Black Saber.
"Excalibur!"
The black-red torrent of magical energy and the pure white Magic Cannon collided between Rin and Black Saber, creating a massive explosion that shook all of Paris.
The ancient streets and houses were covered in fine cracks.
Rin waved her hand, summoning a gentle breeze to disperse the smoke and dust from the explosion, then spoke to Black Saber.
"Do you understand now? My essence is that of a Magus. While a goddess's Servant form can enhance me, it also restricts the full expression of my magic attributes. So don't be mistaken! My Magus form is my strongest state!"
"I see! So it's merely a Servant saint graph, not a true Divine Spirit saint graph! I understand~ I, Artoria, am willing to call you the strongest Magus in this form. Come, let's fight to the death!... Rin Tohsaka!"
"Artoria!"
"Boom!"
Fists wrapped in thick magical energy and a holy sword wrapped in abyssal magical energy collided violently.
The continuously thrown fists and the holy sword played a song of destruction. At the instant of their clash, the ground beneath Rin and Black Saber immediately crumbled, and the land for several kilometers around began to crack and tremble, heading towards ruin in the battle between Rin and Black Saber.
Under the aftershocks of their battle, Paris was repeatedly ravaged, with the entire southern city turning into ruins, and other districts also beginning to collapse one after another.
Tens of thousands of Wyverns shrieked as they flew into the sky, trembling as they looked at their ruined nests on the ground, yet lacking the courage to seek revenge on the perpetrators of all this, only circling helplessly above Paris.
Rin shook her somewhat sore hands, then exchanged a smile with Artoria, who had just been punched away and was now getting back up.
"Artoria, be careful!"
With that, Rin lightly floated off the ground, hovering in the air and deploying a massive Magic Circle.
"St. Georges Domain, activate Sword of the God of Abundance!"
Countless light particles drifted out from the shattered space around Rin, coalescing into a slender Western sword, recreating the self-fighting, enemy-slaying sword owned by Freyr, the God of Abundance, in Norse mythology.
The Sword of the God of Abundance, having just finished forming, appeared to tear through space as it materialized beside Black Saber and launched a fierce assault. Simultaneously, the five elemental gems around Rin continuously lit up, firing fist-sized magical bullets, unleashing an uninterrupted bombardment on Black Saber.
Black Saber, with an excited expression, activated her Mana Burst. Enhanced by abyssal magical energy, Black Saber ignored Rin's magical bullets and concentrated fully on engaging the Sword of the God of Abundance in close combat, displaying her martial arts for the first time in the world.
"Hahaha! What a good opponent! Hey, Rin Tohsaka, the wielder of this sword isn't really a god, is it?"
Rin, maintaining her distance and continuously firing magical bullets to weaken Black Saber's magical energy, slyly replied.
"Guess?"
"Tch! I'll just assume it is!"
Saying this, Black Saber swung her sword with full force, colliding with the Sword of the God of Abundance and sending countless sparks flying.
