As night fell, the world erupted with various cries of astonishment.
Many people on Earth were paralyzed with terror, hair standing on end, as they drew in sharp breaths.
Above them, a radiant curtain of light loomed, revealing countless flashes of swords and blades, an epic aura that washed over them, heralding a war that felt like something out of a myth!
The clash of two heroic spirits unfolded in grand waves, stirring up ripples that reached far and wide!
They were, in a macro sense, higher-dimensional beings, eternal souls that had transcended after death.
With bodies moving at supersonic speeds and god-like powers, their casual exchanges were akin to cannon fire, unleashing four hundred million joules of energy, easily piercing through four buildings. The residual force from their close combat could devastate an entire commercial street!
A chilling soundtrack of adrenaline-pumping music surged, filling the air with unspoken shock.
Within Suiguanyuan Academy, a lithe figure with purple hair wielded chains, darting through the air like an afterimage.
"I can't see it! It's completely unclear!"
In that instant, two chains formed countless afterimages as the air crackled with intense turbulence.
"Like a beautiful serpent dancing the waltz under the moonlight, elegant and flowing, they traced arcs of purple light."
"Medusa unleashed an onslaught of deadly precision, her angles sharp and lethal, intent on delivering a fatal blow to the Archer!"
"Clang! Clang! Clang!! Clang! Clang!"
The sound of cold metal clashing echoed throughout the academy!
The ground trembled, shattering beneath them, creating deep fissures and sending stones flying.
The white-haired mistress barely evaded, deflecting the chains with her B+ rank projection, the famed weapon Gāng Jiāng-Mó Yé.
Amidst the smoke and debris, she maintained her composure, teasingly remarking, "Such a vicious attack, as expected from... hmm?!"
In an instant, her pupils constricted. The abnormal speed of the air currents alerted her that something was amiss. A powerful gust rushed toward her, honed instincts driving her to instinctively slash backward.
"Clang!"
The Gāng Jiāng-Mó Yé struck the chains, intercepting a lethal blow.
Yet, with a swift motion, Medusa appeared, her long boots propelling a fierce kick that sent her flying.
"Boom...!!"
"Clang! Clang! Clang!!"
Even as she was sent sprawling, the white-haired mistress regained her balance, instinctively parrying countless incoming chains, igniting bright sparks that flew in every direction.
No, more precisely, it was two chains!
In the blink of an eye, over a thousand attacks were unleashed, creating the illusion of an overwhelming barrage.
The ground, spanning about a hundred meters, was reduced to rubble, pockmarked with deep craters.
Medusa stood atop the building's highest point, calmly surveying below, and said, "Though your combat skills are impressive, you're not a Saber or an Assassin, are you?"
"Who knows?"
The white-haired mistress flicked her cloak, raising an eyebrow and smiling slyly. "I might be a Caster, after all?"
"I've never heard of a magician wielding dual blades..."
"Well, now you have~."
With a grin, the white-haired heroic spirit raised her black-and-white dual blades. "Your identity is easy to guess—Grecian attire and that serpentine mark on your forehead... I suppose I must be cautious of your Mystic Eyes."
"Tch... cunning woman."
Medusa tightened her grip on the chains, poised for an attack.
It was truly astonishing; her opponent could engage her at this level. The innate swordsmanship and battle instincts honed through countless battles made her feel extraordinarily challenged.
Especially that Eye of the Mind, which could easily perceive the angles from which she intended to strike.
Though her attributes overshadowed her opponent's, it was a deadlock, an equal match.
Remarkable indeed...
Even throughout the annals of history, this white-haired heroic spirit would undoubtedly be an unmatched hero!
Were those dual blades her Noble Phantasm?
The moonlight poured like water, illuminating the two figures locked in confrontation.
For now, they had paused their fighting, probing each other for weaknesses and openings.
Viewers around the world watched with wide eyes, utterly shocked by this mythical battle.
The Observer Network buzzed with excitement as fervent comments surged like a tidal wave.
"I'm bowing down."
"It's too intense!"
"My scalp is tingling; how can it be so cool..."
"Heroic spirits are just too awesome!!!"
"Stunning to the point of falling apart~---
After death, human heroes can transcend into immortal heroic spirits.
Neither of these two Servants could match him in close combat; in fact, they might even be slightly stronger!
Yet, while swordsmanship was his greatest skill, it was not necessarily their strongest asset.
One was a cavalryman, the other an archer, each holding their true trump cards close at hand.
Those would surely be earth-shattering killing moves!
These were the legendary weapons—Noble Phantasms—born from the songs and praises of countless generations of humanity, ultimately transcending into the realm of myth!
Setting aside the identity of the unknown white-haired heroic spirit, just Medusa's petrifying Mystic Eyes were enough to instill fear in Nurarihyon.
After countless ages, how many heroic spirits existed within the Throne of Heroes? No one could say…
This is the world, the most terrifying foundation of the human race.
Even Seimei, who ruled over the darkness of Tokyo a thousand years ago, capable of cleaving through both human and youkai…
In the face of such a situation, he too would feel immense dread.
Just the thought of seven Servants of this caliber about to clash in Fuyuki City sent shivers down Nurarihyon's spine.
"Fuyuki City… is in trouble."
"Boom…!!"
Thunder split the heavens, a purple arc illuminating the night sky in an instant!
The battle, once confined to myth and legend, was reaching its climax!
The entire world watched silently, each holding their breath, as if frozen by time.
