Gorgon's purplish-red eyes shifted slightly.

She shifted her gaze Servant the six riders below the city walls to the top of the walls.

There was an additional Spirit Origin fluctuation there.

She had deep red hair, wore a crimson feathered robe, and had a petite figure.

This is the person.

Before Kitablil died, the last image remaining in the memories of the monsters that had escaped was a small, red-haired boy who had cleaved their commander in two with an axe.

Gorgon's snake hair simultaneously ceased its oppression of the six Servant.

All the snake heads turned towards the city wall in unison.

Dozens of vertical pupils all locked onto Kotori.

"... I've found you."

Gorgon's voice came down from high above.

It carried a chilling sense of pleasure.

"Those previous tests were just to lure you out."

" Kitablil's grudge."

I will make you pay for your crimes in blood.

Kotori stood on the city wall, expressionless as she looked down at the enormous purple figure.

"... So all that drama before was just a ploy to lure me in."

She muttered to herself.

I should have known better than to stand on the city wall.

"Now that the main character has appeared..."

"Then these annoying ants are useless."

Gorgon's snake hair suddenly straightened.

Crimson magic erupted from her entire body.

"I will press on and annihilate you all in one fell swoop."

"Seal of the Other - Blood Temple "

A crimson circular barrier expanded outwards from Gorgon in all directions.

The crimson wall of light rose, spread, and proliferated across the ground like ripples.

It moved so fast that it covered an area of several kilometers in the blink of an eye.

After the barrier is deployed.

The Servant of the six riders changed simultaneously.

"What... what is this?"

Ushiwakamaru felt his body sink slightly; his Spirit Origin was being suppressed.

Strength, endurance, and agility all decrease by one level.

Moreover, she could feel her magic power being consumed at a rapidly increasing rate.

Just maintaining the Spirit Origin already consumes nearly twice the magic power as usual.

"A barrier-breaking Noble Phantasm...!"

Amakusa Shirou's face turned very ugly.

"This is a god-level barrier; we are all within its reach!"

Within this barrier, the Servant not only have their abilities suppressed and their mana consumption increased dramatically, but they are also continuously eroded by the barrier itself.

That corrosive force was slowly dissolving their Spirit Origin.

If an ordinary person were in this barrier...

It will melt into a pool of blood in an instant.

There wasn't even time to let out a scream.

Only the monsters created by Gorgon and Kingu standing behind her were unharmed.

"Waaaaah--!"

Fuuma Kotarou grunted.

He knelt on one knee, supporting himself with one hand on the ground.

The lips beneath the mask had turned pale.

Fuuma Kotarou is a ninja skilled in assassination.

But within this barrier, his presence had nowhere to be hidden.

Moreover, its durability attribute is only a pitiful D-rank.

Of all the Servant present, she was the lowest-ranking, second only to Tomoe Gozen.

Within this god-level realm, his Spirit Origin is being eroded at a visible rate.

" Fuuma Kotarou- den!"

Amakusa Shirou ran towards him.

"I'm fine... cough..."

Fuuma Kotarou got up from the ground.

But his movements had become noticeably slower.

"This won't work... My ninjutsu is completely unusable inside this barrier..."

As he spoke, his body swayed slightly.

I almost fell again.

Amakusa Shirou helped him up.

"Retreat outside the barrier first!"

"It's too late... the barrier is too large, we can't escape..."

Fuuma Kotarou shook his head.

Then he looked down at the battlefield below the city.

"Excuse me... I'll be leaving now..."

His figure vanished as specks of light.

The first Servant to leave the stage.

On the city wall.

Kotori looked at the spot where Fuuma Kotarou had disappeared.

He frowned slightly.

That field...

This applies to all Servant.

Including Tomoe Gozen.

Kotori's gaze fell on the silver-haired figure below the city.

Tomoe Gozen is fighting with a snake-haired creature.

She had a wound on her left arm from a recent snake bite.

Fresh blood is seeping from the wound.

But in the very next second...

A warm, red flame ignited at the site of the wound.

Those were the Flames of Healing that Kotori had left inside Tomoe Gozen's body.

The flame flickered for a moment on the wound.

The injury was healed instantly.

Moreover, the warm red flames were also helping her resist the corrosive effects of the barrier.

Every wave of corrosive power that touched her Spirit Origin was neutralized by the Flames of Healing remaining within her body.

This made Tomoe Gozen the only Servant who was not affected by the barrier.

The only drawback is...

These flames could only protect her alone.

The other four Servant fared much worse.

Fuuma Kotarou has left the stage.

Ushiwakamaru and Amakusa Shirou both had only a C-rank durability, which greatly suppressed them.

The two of them began to move slowly.

His complexion wasn't very good either.

Fortunately, Musashibō Benkei was with them.

Benkei's durability is B+.

His massive body stood in front of Ushiwakamaru and Amakusa Shirou, withstanding the erosion of the barrier and the attacks of the snake-haired man.

And Leonidas.

Durability A.

The Sparta giant stood at the very front.

Although he didn't look well, he was still holding on.

" Leonidas!"

Ushiwakamaru called out.

I'm fine!

Leonidas's voice came from behind the shield.

"I can still hold on!"

Just then...

Dozens of snake heads on Gorgon's hair opened their mouths simultaneously.

A purple light shone from deep within the throat of each snake head.

Gathering strength.

Then.

"--Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Dozens of purple energy beams simultaneously shot out from the snake's head.

It shot Servant the direction of the five riders.

The speed is so fast that it is almost impossible to detect with the naked eye.

The first beam of light grazed the ground.

They plowed a deep pit several meters long directly into the ground.

The soil and rocks on the ground instantly melted into liquid under the high temperature of the beam of light.

Then it evaporated.

This is just a scratch.

If it's a direct hit.

Whether it's mountains or city walls, these purple beams of light will pierce through them directly.

"Spread!"

Leonidas roared.

The five riders dispersed Servant different directions.

The beam of light swept past them.

Some of the bullets hit the city walls.

The city wall's bricks were pierced.

Some of them hit the ground.

Deep furrows were plowed into the ground.

"This power..."

Ushiwakamaru flipped over to dodge a beam of light.

If you get hit by that.

Even the Spirit Origin will be directly shattered.

" Leonidas!"

"Knew!"

Leonidas slammed his spear to the ground.

" Sparta warriors!"

"Fight for me once more!"

His voice boomed across the battlefield like thunder.

" Thermopylae Enomotia "

Thermopylae Enomotia

A golden magical power surged from the ground beneath his feet.

Then.

Countless golden specks of light rose from the ground.

The points of light coalesced into a human shape.

Three hundred soldiers wearing Sparta bronze armor.

Holding a round shield and a spear.

His face bore the same resolute expression as Leonidas's.

They were the 300 Sparta who fought alongside Leonidas at Thermopylae during their lifetimes.

"Raise your shields!"

The three hundred warriors roared in unison.

At the same time, they raised their round shields.

Three hundred bronze round shields formed a giant shield wall in the air.

Purple beams of light shot out continuously.

They all crashed into the shield wall.

"Clang clang clang clang--!"

The sound of metal clashing was so dense that it became a continuous chorus.

The shield wall of three hundred warriors retreated slightly under the impact of the beam of light.

The first wave of beams was completely blocked.

The second wave.

It was blocked too.

The third wave.

Cracks began to appear on the shield wall.

The figures of the three hundred warriors began to become transparent.

The consumption is too high.

The fourth beam of light shot in.

"Hold on!"

Leonidas's voice was already hoarse.

But the shield wall of three hundred warriors shattered completely under the impact of the fourth beam.

The figures of the three hundred warriors all vanished.

It turned into golden specks of light and dissipated into the air.

"Well...!"

Leonidas, leaning on his spear, knelt on one knee.

The Noble Phantasm consumes too much mana.

In addition, there's the erosion from the barrier.

His Spirit Origin is nearing its limit.
