The fierce battle between Rin and Black Saber continued, still ravaging this pitiful land. However, for the two of them, this level of combat was merely... a warm-up!
"Excalibur!"
Black Saber's Excalibur, carrying a torrent of red and black magical energy, easily annihilated the Sword of the Bountiful God. She turned to Rin, who had stopped her bombardment of Magic Bullets, and said, "I've finished warming up! What about you?"
Rin flashed a smile and said, "I'm still a bit off, but feel free to go ahead. After all, I'm afraid that the moment I use my full strength, this fight will be over!"
Black Saber frowned, looked straight into Rin's eyes, and asked loudly, "Rin Tohsaka! What do you mean by that?"
"I mean that you aren't worth me using my full strength yet!"
"Is that so? Then let me see just how strong your full strength is!"
With that, Black Saber turned her head and shouted toward Paris, "Assault Girl, give me a buff!"
No sooner had Black Saber finished speaking than countless true ether magical energy surged out of Black Saber's body, replacing the magical energy that had previously surrounded her. At the same time, Black Saber's pupils transformed into dragon-like vertical slits.
"Excalibur!"
"St. Georges Domain, deploy! Dragon King's Sigh!"
Countless spatial rifts converged before the Magic Circle in front of Rin, blocking the aftermath of Black Saber's Noble Phantasm and the Dragon King's Sigh. At the same time, the Dragon King's Sigh and the torrent of magical energy unleashed by Black Saber's Noble Phantasm collided violently, even causing the space at the point of impact to distort.
Black Saber, who never expected her Noble Phantasm to finish off Rin, cut off the magical energy supply to her Noble Phantasm and instantly dodged the beam of light from the Dragon King's Sigh. Amidst the feathers of light filling the sky, she nimbly wove her way behind Rin and unleashed her Noble Phantasm again, almost pressing against Rin.
"Excalibur!"
"My God, why have You forsaken me?"
The giant Magic Circle in front of Rin instantly appeared behind her, emitting a red and black radiance similar to the release of Black Saber's Noble Phantasm. Accompanied by sounds of space shattering, it once again reached a stalemate with Black Saber's Noble Phantasm.
At the same time, Rin wasn't idle. After all, when two guys with nearly infinite magical energy fight, who knows how long this battle would last if they just kept stalemating and blasting each other? After all, in terms of physical stamina, Rin, as a 'human?', couldn't compare to Black Saber.
Several Swords of the Bountiful God, accompanied by the fading of the Dragon King's Sigh, suddenly appeared beside Black Saber, stabbing at all her vital points.
"Don't underestimate me!"
Facing the incoming Swords of the Bountiful God, Black Saber roared and increased the output of her magical energy, forming a 30-centimeter thick layer of magical energy around her body. This made it impossible for the Swords of the Bountiful God to pierce her body, as they could only attack that layer of magical energy in vain.
Rin turned around to face Black Saber, pouting in annoyance right in front of her, which earned her a mocking sneer from the corner of Black Saber's mouth.
"true ether is such a pain! Although the Formula for St. Georges Domain and 'My God, why have You forsaken me?' can utilize the particularity of space to counter your true ether, it seems my other magic can't do that!"
"Then why don't you bring out your full strength?"
"It hasn't reached that point yet, but it looks like I really have to get serious!"
As she spoke, the five elemental gems around Rin circled her horizontally, emitting five-colored beams of light that reached straight into the sky. The five beams of light pointed far away at the stars in the sky, continuously rising to break through the atmosphere, enveloping the starlight masked by the sun and using the beams as channels to bring the starlight down to Rin on the ground.
Black Saber's expression changed, and a dangerous premonition suddenly welled up in her heart. 'Bad! I must dodge Rin Tohsaka's next attack!'
Along with the convergence of starlight, wings of light dyed in various colors by the five elemental gems appeared behind Rin like glass.
Rin stood motionless, letting the colorful, glass-like wings of light sway behind her, and softly chanted a declaration.
"Starlight above! true ether below!... Light Wing Deployment!"
The five-colored starlight, buffed by Lights Execution, converged into thousands of light beams, firing from the wings of light. They refracted, drawing beautiful curves as they passed through the St. Georges Domain and the torrent of Black Saber's Noble Phantasm to reach her side.
"Rin Tohsaka~!"
Dazzling light erupted from the area where Black Saber was located, followed by a devastating shockwave that centered on Black Saber, sweeping through everything for several kilometers around, turning the plains outside Paris and half of the city of Paris into a blank slate.
Rin landed lightly on the ground, put away the five elemental gems, unfolded the colorful wings behind her, and fired another round of light beams into the giant crater formed by the Light Wing Deployment.
As the new round of light beams struck the bottom of the crater, a giant cross-shaped beam of light erupted from the pit, and a new round of shockwaves began the second wave of clearing.
After the second wave of shockwaves passed, Rin canceled the St. Georges Domain, looked at the giant crater in front of her, and muttered, "It's over! What a pity, I actually wanted to subdue you~ Artoria!"
"Cough, cough... cough... Heh... Don't decide my life and death on your own~! I'm still alive!"
Black Saber, whose armor was shattered with only a few fragments remaining on her body, clutched her mouth as she coughed up blood. She stood barefoot on the edge of the crater, holding the cracked Excalibur in one hand and pointing it at Rin as she roared!
"Rin Tohsaka! I haven't lost yet~~~!"
Rin stared at Black Saber's eyes, which were still full of fighting spirit, with respect. Looking at Black Saber's body, which was covered in wounds large and small, she sighed and reached out her hand, making a gun gesture.
"Then, goodbye Artoria. I hope that next time we meet, we won't be enemies! Spear of Ven..."
"Incineration of Heaven and Earth · Dragon Slayer!"
Just as Rin was about to ignite the Spear of Venus to pierce Black Saber's spirit core, a giant dragon made of black flames roared out from behind Rin, swallowing the caught-off-guard Rin within it.
Jalter, emitting a thick dragon aura, leaped a few times, landed beside Black Saber, and took the Holy Grail from inside her own body, stuffing it into Black Saber's body.
"Cold-Blooded Woman! How could you be in such a sorry state~!"
Although from the wording, it seemed like Jalter was scolding Black Saber, the words revealed deep concern.
Black Saber looked at Jalter with peace of mind, dropped the cracked Excalibur in her hand, sat on the ground, and looked at the sky, muttering, "Yeah! Truly a sorry state! But Assault Girl, this was a battle that satisfied me very much!"
As she spoke, Black Saber clenched her fist and looked at the black flames that were still burning. "Assault Girl, have you finished absorbing that black dragon Níðhöggr that ate the World Tree?"
"Yeah!"
At this moment, the black flames emitted by Jalter started to twist and sway as if blown by a gust of wind, even though there was absolutely no wind on this plain, which had been washed by a nuclear explosion-like shockwave.
"It seems your attack didn't work either. Assault Girl, prepare for a fight to the death!"
As she spoke, Black Saber drew the Sword of Catherine from Jalter's waist, and with Jalter, who was holding her war flag high, they looked solemnly at the black flames, waiting for Rin to appear!
