"Kid—duck!"
Alexander, who had been watching with great interest from the side, suddenly sensed that something was seriously wrong and shouted. Without giving Waver Velvet time to react, he slapped him down into the ox cart with one hand while grabbing the reins with the other.
"Hyah! Get out of here!"
Thunder exploded as the two wounded Divine Bulls swiftly carried Alexander and Waver Velvet up into the sky.
And below—
"[The Star of Creation that Split Heaven and Earth] (Enuma Elish)!!!"
"[Bloodstained Anti-Evil: Chalk Holy Sword] (Chalkiness)!!!"
Hummm—
Hummm—
BOOM BOOM BOOM----------!!!!!
Two terrifying beams composed of pure magical energy erupted toward one another.
Whether it was Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm or Anno's Noble Phantasm, both were pure magical energy Noble Phantasms capable of immense destruction. And when they collided at this moment, the result was—
BOOM------!!!
An explosion erupted after the collision.
With the point of impact as its center, a violent blast tore across the banks of the Mion River.
A mushroom cloud slowly rose.
Risei Kotomine, who had been observing the Mion River bank through crystal ball magecraft within the church, had unconsciously opened his mouth wide. Even his eyes had gone wide.
How the hell was the Church supposed to cover this up?
Sakumura paid no attention to what was happening behind him.
He had already gripped the katana called Crane Feather in his hand and leaped into the sky with all his strength.
Like a true bird, he closed his eyes when he reached the apex of his jump.
Crackle—
Snap—
His Spirit Origin was already crackling and bursting.
[New Feather Wheel: First of the Separate Wings—Crane Stay]
Whether in life or after death, this was the pinnacle Sakumura could reach on the path of the sword, and the legend for which he was celebrated.
