-Town of Fuyuki. Bounded Field.
3rd POV*
Karna and Shiki exchange a fierce glaring contest, their eyes sparked with lightning from the intensity. Within Karna's mind, a moment of reflection occurs. He knows that to defeat this woman, he must unleash his most powerful attack. His realization that the fight has remained stagnant forced Karna to reach this decision.
"All my attacks before is not enough to bring you down. Therefore, I need an attack that would bring your absolute destruction!" Karna's armor dispersed into flames creating an illusion that a huge eye was looking down from behind him. The eye vanished replaced by an enormous spear that is longer than Karna is tall, the head itself being a meter in length.
It possesses a size that makes it appear impossible for a human to wield. The shaft of the spear is adorned with divine symbols, and its blade glistens like the sun. Just by staring at it, one can perceive that it is indeed a celestial spear. With the appearance of the spear follows immense destruction, the radiance of the spear melted everything on the ground causing a huge lava crater to form.
The others had no choice but to stay behind Lawrence afraid to be affected by the intense heat. There was no doubt that Karna was indeed a son of Sun God, this manifestation is a huge evidence. "W-What is this… scary" Luvia muttered staring at the scene, she also became scared of Shiki who was standing in the middle of that intense heat without batting an eye.
"The warrior who gave me the pleasure of fighting in this era! I want to hear your name." Karna stated staring directly at Shiki's Mystic Eyes without fear. Although he was a little startled by the appearance of the scary eyes, he is still determined to finish this fight off. "It's Ryougi Shiki" Shiki responded gripping the Blink Dagger on her hands tightly. She already dismissed the Monkey King Bar.
"Wonderful name. Out of respect for the worthy person I've found in this second life, I'll offer you my strongest and most powerful attack!" with a graceful yet solemn movement, Karna raises Vasavi Shakti high into the sky. The golden spear begins to emit an intense, blinding light, causing those on the battlefield to shield their eyes.
In Karna's mind, a connection formed between him and the divine weapon. He channeled his energy into the spear preparing for the ultimate strike. "Know the mercy of the King of Gods!" the entire battlefield darkens as the sun's light was absorbed by Vasavi Shakti. "With this single strike, I shall inflict extinction!"
The spear takes on an otherworldly, ethereal glow and it pulses with power. The iridescent light it was emitting represent the heavens themselves who are ready to unleash their fury. Karna's expression hardens, his eyes fixed on Shiki. He knows that the fate of this battle now rests on the divine spear's next strike.
"Vasavi Shakti!!"
With a tremendous burst of energy, Karna hurls Vasavi Shakti at Shiki, the spear streaking across the darkened sky like a comet of destruction. As it makes contact, a cataclysmic explosion erupts, bathing the battlefield in an awe-inspiring display of power. In the middle of that explosion one single muttering was heard by Karna. "I see them"
That one statement brought absolute terror to Karna's whole being. His body froze as he witnessed a ridiculous scene occurred before him. His eyes managed to capture everything, from how Shiki gazed at the spear for a moment before she calmly sliced the air.
The ultimate attack that threatened to destroy the whole Bounded Field cracked like a mirror in the viewpoint of others. The spear which has the capability to kill even gods stopped on its track simply refusing to move further. Karna's shock became more evident when the spear gifted by Indra started cracking by itself in a slow pace.
The world ending attack was 'killed' thus resulting to the utter silence that descended the battlefield. It was instantly broken when Shiki started speaking, "It was truly an outstanding work of art. I could hardly find anyone who could do the same. Unfortunately, my eyes sees the end of everything. Thus occasioning your defeat" Shiki said vanishing from the eyesight of everyone.
She reappeared infront of Karna already gazing at the dozens of Lines of Death within his body. "I will reward you an honorable death for your accomplishment" Shiki muttered and in a casual movement, she slit something on Karna. The Heroic Spirit widened his eyes for a second before the light dimmed. His mouth contorted to a smile as he embraced death like a professional.
Shiki stands alone amidst the destruction, her clothes tarnished but her spirit unbroken. She knows that he was a great warrior yet that is what makes him a greater choice to kill. Shiki treaded through the apocalyptic scene and finally arrived at Lawrence's front. The others responded by backing away to show their respect for the woman.
Shiki stared directly towards Lawrence's eyes. Lawrence did the same as the two descended in to a staring contest, though it didn't take long for Lawrence to give up. He revealed a gentle smile opening his arms which Shiki took as a sign. She slowly crawled to his embrace enjoying his warm presence on her side.
The others just stared at the scene dissatisfied, especially Anastashia who was hoarding Lawrence all for herself moments ago. There was no words exchanged between the two yet it might be the greatest respect they could show to each other. Lawrence just grabbed Shiki's hands and intertwined it with his own.
Without words, Lawrence and his group left the Bounded Field ready to return to their home. Only one servant was left in the war and the winner has been decided, it is now time for them to reclaim the price.
Lawrence used his senses to search for the Grail, he vanished from his spot and reappeared to where it was located at. He can see that it was already overflowing with magical energy and is threatening to burst. "Sigh, I guess it's time to cleanse some filth huh?" Lawrence muttered implementing one of the heroes in Dota that he obtained before.
If Doombringer was the Lucifer in Dota World, the fallen angel who initiated the rebellion, then this Hero is Big G. It is the hero that created the whole heaven and has control over a large army of light. "Wait… if using Doom made me the literal Lucifer in Type Moon then implementing Keeper of the Light might actually turn me into Akasha itself!" Lawrence instantly stopped what he was about to do when he realized that.
For a while now, he already understood how his abilities or items are turning into Conceptual ones. It is not because it was adapting to the world of Type Moon but rather because of his influence as an Eldritch Being. Everything that is shrouded with his aura even with just for a small amount of time will undoubtedly evolve.
Although this is a great news to Lawrence, he is also wary that he might create some horrifying things without even knowing it. "Hmm, let's see. Is there any Hero that can purify?" Lawrence muttered trying to search for that Hero, despite having hundreds of Heroes inside of him, it is still difficult for him to recall each of their abilities especially when it was based on their Lore.
"Let's settle with that guy I guess?" Lawrence thought about the Oracle. The hero who can see everything and manipulate fates. Lawrence recalled that the Hero has the skill called Purifying Flames, that should work considering it will turn into a conceptual skill later on. Lawrence has already used this hero many times before so it was not hard to suppress the change it will make on the environment.
A beautiful ball hovered between Lawrence's hands as his body floated. His eyes changed at that moment because when in this form, he can manipulate the fate of everything. Lawrence shook his head shrugging the negative thoughts away, he will not be controlled by his arrogance just because of this power.
Lawrence's omniscient eyes gazed at the being living inside the grail. Angra Mainyu was instantly spooked out by that condescending gaze that seemed to know everything about him. It immediately reacted spitting out Grail Mud trying to contaminate the being. Sadly all Angra Mainyu last heard was a few muttering that came out from the being. "Purifying Flames…"
A small flame emerged from the otherworldly ball that Lawrence was carrying. The flames intensify casting an ethereal glow in the room. Within the Holy Grail, the dark entity Angra Mainyu stirs. A swirling vortex of corrupted soul and malevolence churns ominously.
Lawrence directed the flames toward the Holy Grail. The flames twisted and coiled, forming a radiant beam of purifying energy. The purifying flames collided with the dark energies of the Holy Grail, causing an explosive clash of light and darkness. The chamber trembles as the two opposing forces vie for supremacy.
Inside the Grail, Angra Mainyu writhes and resists the purification. The entity's form contorts and twists, as if fighting for its survival. It did not take long before the purifying flames gained the upper hand, just a slight of push from Lawrence created an intense reaction overpowering Angra Mainyu's resistance. The Evil entity began to disintegrate into walls of torment, its power being purged.
Lawrence's eyes shone brighter as he finally overcomes the malevolence within the Holy Grail. The purifying flames completely consumed Angra Mainyu, leaving behind only a purified, radiant Grail.
The chamber falls into an eerie silence, devoid of the malevolent presence that once occupied it. The purified Holy Grail radiates a gentle, golden light. "Fantastic" Lawrence muttered smiling gently.
