Mana began to surge.
"It's starting—"
Irisviel stared at Artoria.
Everyone else looked over as well.
Without a doubt, Artoria was preparing to use her Noble Phantasm too.
Emiya Kiritsugu did not stop Artoria. Or rather, this was part of the plan.
Sword light began to flicker.
At that moment, even Skadi herself seemed to be suppressed by that radiance.
"Bang—!"
Mana Burst. In that instant, Artoria's released mana enhanced her to the utmost limit.
Even Skadi was directly blown away by the attack!
"Excalibur—!"
True Name Dissolution: Skadi the Corrupting Heart
"Boom—!"
A surging torrent swept forth.
Golden light suppressed everything before it.
This attack was not even a long-range attack, but one unleashed at close range.
When that golden torrent appeared, everyone turned to look.
Even Skadi could not "reflect" a Beam Cannon like this.
Just as the Servants had judged, Skadi could not effectively counterattack when facing this kind of assault.
"This—this—"
Waver's eyes widened as he watched the golden light flow and surge.
[EX Caliburn!]
[Beam Cannon carpet-bombing!]
[Didi can't really be unable to defend against a Beam Cannon, right?]
[She can definitely block it.]
[Is her disguise about to come off?]
[As long as she doesn't really go down, it's fine.]
—What a joke.
Without emotions building up, without the story reaching its climax, how could I be defeated by an attack like this?
The emotions aren't there yet. Skadi absolutely refused to be defeated by an attack like this right now.
Even if she had to leave the stage, it should be at the most suitable point in the story, not in such a half-baked manner.
Excalibur was unleashed at Skadi, and the mountains behind her had their terrain directly altered by the attack.
"N-No way?!" Waver's eyes widened.
