Moreover, the petrification on Mordred's body was still spreading. If they waited a little longer, perhaps both sides would call it off and retreat.
However, Rin Tohsaka refused without hesitation.
"No! The Tohsaka family is a distinguished magecraft lineage! How could we resort to such sneak attacks? If I'm going to win, I'll win fair and square! I absolutely won't use such underhanded tricks!"
Red A looked at the solemn-faced Rin Tohsaka and could only fall silent.
Although Rin Tohsaka usually appeared calm and rational, she was actually quite easily provoked. Just last night, because his tone had been too casual, she had directly used a Command Spell to punish him, nearly scaring him to death.
Fine. I'll just treat this as an early chance to observe their abilities...
However, he had not expected Mordred and Matou Shinji to be even more hotheaded than Rin Tohsaka.
Thanks to the boost from the Command Spell, Mordred had fallen slightly behind.
At that moment, Medusa had actually wanted to withdraw. After all, the Command Spell's enhancement was only temporary, not permanent. Once the energy in that Command Spell ran out, her attributes would fall back to their original state.
Yet no matter how long she waited, no retreat order came. All she heard was Matou Shinji constantly shouting, "Kill her! Kill her for me!"
If she had not been worried about Sakura Matou, she truly would have turned around and stabbed Matou Shinji to death with her sword.
Meanwhile, the equally worked-up Mordred took the initiative to widen the distance between them. Without consulting Chloe, the dazzling King of Knights' Sword in her hand lit up with crimson lightning more than three meters long—she was going to use her Noble Phantasm!
"What a chance—"
Unable to hold back, Red A looked at Rin Tohsaka again, but she merely crossed her arms, showing no intention of letting him act.
"This is bad, Master! She's going to use her Noble Phantasm—" Medusa hurriedly warned.
Her original intention had been to make Matou Shinji order a retreat, but his reply was...
"Then use your Noble Phantasm too!"
"..."
To be fair, if the battle had not reached such a critical moment, Su Ning might have burst out laughing at Matou Shinji's stupidity.
Artoria hasn't even appeared yet, and the Holy Grail War hasn't even begun. Yet he's already used a Command Spell and is about to expose a Noble Phantasm. Sure enough, Matou Shinji can't escape the fate of being cannon-fodder side character material~
"Take this! This is the evil sword that shall destroy my king—rebel against my glorious father!"
The Royal Sword in her hand shone with unprecedented brilliance. Crimson lightning gathered into an indescribably terrifying beam of light and blasted toward Medusa.
Bellerophon!
A pure white Pegasus with enormous wings appeared beneath Medusa. Without skills such as Instinct or Mind's Eye, she had no way to evade an Anti-Army Noble Phantasm and could only choose to meet Mordred's attack head-on.
Boom!
The White Meteor collided with the Red Lightning.
A powerful shockwave exploded through the air, shattering every piece of glass within several kilometers into powder in an instant.
In fact, if Mordred had not been standing there, the entire school building beneath her feet would have been reduced to level ground by the clash of those two terrifying forces.
"Die for me—"
After a deadlock that lasted several full seconds, Mordred's Noble Phantasm ultimately proved the stronger.
