In Uruk, which had become a battlefield, the Lahmu that had been desperately fighting humans and all kinds of demons and monsters while constantly letting out loathsome laughter suddenly froze in place.
"How could this...!?"
"Impossible...!"
"Mother!"
The Lahmu cried out in disbelief, then, under everyone's gaze, suddenly burst apart like watermelons and turned to ashes on the spot, vanishing without a trace.
"W-What... what happened?"
"I don't know..."
The humans and demons and monsters who had been fighting the Lahmu all stared at the scene. The previous moment, their faces had been filled with grim determination and fighting spirit; the next, they were all completely stunned.
Only the Servants watched the scene and stopped fighting, one by one coming to a realization.
"Did we succeed?"
"Did we succeed?"
"We succeeded, right?"
Artoria [Alter], Joan of Arc [Alter], Serenity, Ishtar, Quetzalcoatl, Leopard Person, and the others, drenched in blood, looked outside Uruk while panting heavily, seemingly wanting to see that beastly silhouette which blotted out the sky.
But by now, they naturally saw nothing.
"Senpai..."
Mashu was panting as well, gazing anxiously toward the outside of Uruk.
As for Nobunaga and Ryougi Shiki, their battle had also come to a stop.
"Ho... how..."
Okita, covered in wounds from head to toe, held up her sword and widened her eyes as if she wanted to continue fighting to the death but could no longer do so. With unwillingness and resentment, she turned to ashes and vanished.
"Haha... I managed to escape with my life..."
Nobunaga knelt on one knee, her injuries unbelievably severe and her entire body drenched in blood. Looking at Okita as she turned to ashes and disappeared, she wore a bitter smile.
In her battle with Okita, Nobunaga had been at a disadvantage from beginning to end.
