The obsidian saw sword was held in Quetzalcoatl's hand, the obsidian blade gleaming coldly in the sunlight.
Ishtar gathered magic on the Heavenly Bow, Maanna, and the golden bullet on the string grew larger and larger.
Then they both started moving at the same time.
Quetzalcoatl charged toward Ishtar, his saw-sword sweeping across his hand.
Ishtar fired the golden bullet from the bowstring, while simultaneously creating distance.
The projectile exploded in mid-air, turning into dozens of golden fragments that rained down on Quetzalcoatl.
Quetzalcoatl's saw-sword spun in the air, deflecting all the fragments.
She pushed off the ground with her foot and chased after Ishtar again.
Ishtar fired three more gems.
Red, blue, and green.
The three beams of light converged in the air, forming a massive net of light that descended upon Quetzalcoatl.
Quetzalcoatl squeezed through the gaps in the light net.
A straight punch was thrown at Ishtar's face.
Ishtar dodged to the side, the force of the punch grazing her ear.
Taking advantage of the moment she turned to the side, she delivered an elbow strike to Quetzalcoatl's ribs.
But Quetzalcoatl's elbow was already waiting there.
The elbows collided.
Bang!
The two of them stepped back simultaneously.
"Your attacks are really annoying."
Quetzalcoatl shook his hand.
"But it only annoys me to a certain extent."
Ishtar's expression changed.
These words struck a nerve.
really.
Since the start of the battle, her Jewel Magecraft has hit Quetzalcoatl a few times, but none of it has caused any real, effective damage.
What's this?
Venus, the goddess of the heavens.
As a result, when facing the main god of another pantheon, can I only serve as a ranged harassing support?
"You--!"
Ishtar gritted her teeth.
His cheeks flushed red with Wrath.
"Okay, then I'll show you!"
She put away the Heavenly Bow, Maanna.
Then he extended his right hand.
A golden light condensed and took shape.
It eventually turned into a strangely shaped hammer.
The end of the long handle is connected to a hammerhead made of seven intertwined snakes, with the seven snake heads sticking out and their eyes displaying different colors.
It looks like a ritual object.
But the oppressive aura emanating from the hammerhead caused all the Servant present to take a step back.
"That is..."
Leonidas rose from the ruins and looked at the weapon.
"What terrifying power..."
"Seven-Headed Warhammer - Sheeta."
Merlin stood at a distance, staff in his hand, his previous ease gone.
"It seems Ishtar is getting serious."
Ishtar grasped the warhammer.
" Quetzalcoatl Koyatel."
Her voice turned somber.
"You're saying I've been harassing you remotely the whole time, right?"
You think my ranged attacks are useless, right?
What about melee combat?
She charged toward Quetzalcoatl, wielding the enormous warhammer.
It moved so fast that it left an afterimage on the ground.
As the goddess of war, Ishtar is naturally quite skilled in close combat; she simply doesn't enjoy brutal close-quarters fighting.
The owner of the body she possessed, Rin Tohsaka, was also proficient in a martial art called Bajiquan.
Ishtar is using those techniques perfectly.
Quetzalcoatl sensed a danger emanating from that warhammer.
Her expression became more serious.
The saw sword lay in front of him.
Ishtar's warhammer crashed down from above.
Quetzalcoatl blocked with his saw-sword.
The moment their weapons collided in mid-air.
boom!
A shockwave, visible to the naked eye, spread out from the point of impact.
Everything within a radius of several hundred meters centered on the two individuals was instantly destroyed.
The ground cracked.
Stone bricks flew everywhere.
The entire street was reduced to ruins by the shockwave.
Leonidas, Ushiwakamaru, Benkei.
The three Servant were thrown into the air by the shockwave, tumbling more than a dozen times before barely managing to regain their footing.
Ana used the chain of her scythe to entangle a broken pillar, barely preventing it from being blown away.
Merlin immediately wrapped himself in flower petals, barely managing to protect himself.
After the wind stopped.
Ishtar and Quetzalcoatl remained in the position of clashing weapons.
But the ground beneath their feet had completely changed.
It became a complete ruin.
The entire street has disappeared.
Quetzalcoatl frowned slightly as he looked at the ruins around him.
Then she glanced down.
The shockwave spread over such a wide area that ordinary people or Servant had no chance of escaping it.
But just before the shockwave spread.
A red figure blocked Tomoe Gozen's path.
Kotori Itsuka.
She determined the impact range of the attack a split second before the weapons clashed.
Then he stood in front of Tomoe Gozen.
Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mash, who were standing behind Tomoe Gozen, were also protected because of their position.
When the shockwave hit Kotori, crimson flames erupted from her body, dispersing and absorbing the impact.
She didn't even take a single step back.
" Kotori..."
Tomoe Gozen looked at the small figure blocking her way.
Meanwhile, Ritsuka Fujimaru to the side, was completely stunned.
This is Kotori Itsuka.
The red-haired girl who cut Gorgon in half with a single shot.
It was much smaller than she had imagined.
He looks like an ordinary junior high school student.
"That..."
Ritsuka Fujimaru wanted to say something.
In the sky.
Quetzalcoatl looked at the surrounding ruins, his expression complex.
"That's gone too far."
She said it softly.
Then she looked up at the sky.
"It's too narrow here."
Her thigh muscles tensed up suddenly.
He was launched into the air.
A single jump sent them soaring thousands of meters high.
The figure disappeared into the clouds.
Ishtar did not hesitate.
They chased after the direction in which Quetzalcoatl had disappeared.
The two figures disappeared into the clouds one after the other.
"Wait for me!"
The Jaguar Man leaped out of the ruins and chased after them into the sky.
But her flying speed was far inferior to that of the other two.
All we can do is follow behind and inhale their exhaust fumes.
"So fast... I can't catch up at all..."
The Jaguar Man's voice came from the increasingly distant sky.
The battle continues.
However, the specific details of the battle were no longer visible from the ground.
All that could be seen were occasional flashes of golden light through the clouds and shockwaves from the collisions.
Each time the aftershocks of the shockwave reached the ground, the entire city of Uruk would tremble.
"Wow, this is way too big..."
Merlin stood amidst the ruins, looking up at the sky.
Ritsuka Fujimaru stood not far behind Kotori and Tomoe Gozen.
She was still looking at Kotori.
Fou jumped off Mash's shoulder.
The little girl with short legs ran towards Kotori's direction.
" Fou?"
Mash tried to call out to it.
But Fou had already run to Kotori's feet.
Then it jumped right into Kotori's arms.
" Fou!"
Kotori instinctively hugged the white fluffy ball that had suddenly jumped onto her.
Fou snuggled against Kotori's chest and let out a soft, comforting whimper.
" Fou..."
Its purple eyes were looking at Kotori's face.
That's the kind of vibe she has.
She looks like Mayuri.
Kotori looked down at Fou in her arms.
This little creature has been stealthily approaching me since just now.
"Who are you..."
She recognized Fou.
The mascot of Chaldea.
Beast IV.
Although Kotori was somewhat wary of its true identity, the Fou in front of her was just a cute little furball.
" Fou ~"
Fou rubbed against Kotori's hand again.
"So soft."
Kotori's fingers unconsciously touched Fou's fur.
"..."
Then she realized what was happening.
I don't recognize these people at all.
She quickly took Fou out of her arms and put her on the ground.
"Go, go play over there."
Fou tilted her head and looked at her.
" Fou?"
"Don't try to take advantage of me, I don't know you."
Fou blinked.
Then it looked at Kotori, and then at Ritsuka Fujimaru, who was gazing at the sky in the distance.
In the end, it decided to stay with Kotori.
"... Why are you still lingering here?"
Just as Kotori was having a headache.
Two semi-transparent, half-body phantoms appeared beside Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mash.
"The communication has finally been successfully established."
