Chapter 892: Yecheng: Let Me Witness Your Power
Chapter 892: Yecheng: Let Me Witness Your Power
Upon hearing Yecheng's explanation, those unfamiliar with magic, including Rin Tohsaka, Kiritsugu Emiya, and even Medea, a divine-era magician, were astonished to see the twin-like Yecheng before them.
This is the Third Magic! True magic, not mere sorcery! It's the power that all magicians yearn for!
No wonder Yecheng claimed to possess the power to create the Holy Grail; it turns out that while researching the Lesser Holy Grail, he had independently discovered the power of the Root.
"You're still as strong as ever, a monster as always, but I have my reasons not to lose!"
The previously unleashed Excalibur, Saber's most powerful attack, was effortlessly blocked by Yecheng, and without Avalon, she almost fell victim to a counter-attack.
The power disparity between the two made Saber keenly aware of Yecheng's strength.
Even without a chance of victory, Saber was determined not to give up easily. The influence of This World's Evil's dark transformation intensified her original obsession and reluctance, magnifying them infinitely.
Although Altria Pendragon never succumbed to evil in her lifetime, she had experienced moments of confusion and entanglement, felt anger towards herself, and lamented the circumstances around her.
Now, under the influence of This World's Evil, Saber refused to fall so easily. Instead, she would fight to the last moment for her ideals and aspirations.
A similar situation was unfolding with Black Jeanne. As an Avenger, her hatred and anger would not subside, ensuring her continued existence.
Deep within her heart, there were ambitions and thoughts unique to her. She was unwilling to merely be an accessory to Joan of Arc, having been born as a special life form from someone else's hatred.
Perhaps it was the obsession within Saber and Black Jeanne, or perhaps This World's Evil had developed consciousness, realizing that with its impending defeat, it could be eradicated. So, it guided Saber and Black Jeanne to witness the darkest depths of their hearts and lent them its power.
In a nutshell, Saber and Black Jeanne seemed to be on the brink of defeat, but at this critical juncture, they suddenly unleashed their full potential without warning.
"Ahhhhhhhh———!"
"Hahahahahaha———!"
A black pillar of light and gradually darkening Infernal Flame erupted from Saber and Black Jeanne, soaring into the sky.
The overwhelming magical power emanating from the two affected the celestial phenomena, causing thick clouds to blanket the entire Fuyuki City, plunging it into an apocalyptic atmosphere.
"Medea, you and Medusa can't help here. Take Sakura and the others to safety."
Medea and Medusa, as Heroic Spirits, were fine, but Sakura, Shirou Emiya, and the other human magicians could barely stand in the midst of the mana field unleashed by Saber and Black Jeanne.
When the battle truly erupted, even the aftermath would be enough to kill Sakura and the others multiple times. Therefore, Yecheng ordered Medea and Medusa to evacuate Sakura and the rest first.
"But if we leave, what about you..."
"There's no 'but.' Having touched the Third Magic, my soul may be immortal, which sounds a bit far-fetched, but I won't be easily defeated anymore.
Your presence here won't provide any assistance and will only distract and hinder me."
Yecheng's stern rebuke eventually convinced the worried Medea.
Reluctantly, she took the nearly exhausted Rin Tohsaka and Shirou Emiya and used transfer magic to leave Enzang Mountain.
As for Kiritsugu Emiya, he was originally in a three-way battle with Shirou Emiya and Rin Tohsaka, resulting in all three of them collapsing to the ground.
However, when Medea left with Rin and Shirou, perhaps due to her dissatisfaction with Yecheng saving them, she was in a foul mood and decided to take it out on Kiritsugu, delivering the final blow!
Unlucky Kiritsugu could never have imagined that he would not die at the hands of his opponent, Shirou Emiya, nor at the hands of Rin and Shirou, seeking revenge for their father. Instead, he met his end at the hands of a certain sorceress who took the opportunity to finish him off.
After Medea and the others left, only Yecheng, Saber, and Black Jeanne, along with Yecheng's Second Shadow, remained on Enzang Mountain... No, including Yecheng's Second Shadow, there were four of them.
Saber, holding the Excalibur, without saying much, enhanced herself with 'Magic Emission' while simultaneously activating the 'Wind King Barrier'.
In the instant the rocks beneath her feet shattered, her body shot forward like a gust of wind, and compared to her previous state, her magic power and ability parameters had clearly increased significantly.
"Ding——————!"
Yecheng's long sword, created using a high-rank artifact, clashed with Excalibur, and in that moment, the ground beneath their feet shattered from the impact.
Soon after, the blades in their hands became like two streams of light, constantly colliding at high speed. Their attack speed was so fast that even Heroic Spirits could not keep up with their eyes.
However, just as Yecheng was engaged in a high-speed blade fight with Saber, on the other side, Black Jeanne, holding a flag and once again riding her dragon, charged towards Yecheng.
The power of This World's Evil was enhanced once more, causing even the red dragon she summoned to be affected.
The dragon breath originally exhaled by the red dragon was merely a high-temperature scarlet flame, but now under the influence of This World's Evil, the scarlet flame turned into a black flame capable of melting rocks!
As the red dragon breathed out the black flame, Jeanne, sitting atop the dragon's head, also waved the Curse Flag in her hand, not only intensifying the dragon breath of the Dragon Kind Phantom Beast but also wrapping the scarlet inferno around the black breath.
The black breath, which was already capable of burning everything, became even more formidable after being entwined with the red inferno. When the dual-colored flame passed through the earth, the surrounding rocks all turned into scorching magma.
The dual-colored breath, sweeping across the earth from above, was not aimed at Yecheng's Second Shadow but directly struck the back of Yecheng, who was engaged in combat with Saber.
Black Jeanne could see clearly that even though she and Saber had received some enhancements, the chances of defeating Yecheng, who possessed a magic secret that amplified his magic power by a multiple and mastered the Third Magic, were still minuscule.
What was the greatest advantage of Black Jeanne and Black Saber compared to ordinary Heroic Spirits? Was it their powerful magic power and enhanced ability parameters?
No, their greatest advantage in their blackened state was that they could squander magic power without restraint.
Without considering magic consumption, the Noble Phantasms that other Heroic Spirits treated as trump cards could be used as regular attacks by them.
However, this advantage was almost non-existent for Yecheng.
The so-called Third Magic of Soul Perpetual Motion not only granted immortality but also provided the user with infinite magic power due to the soul's perpetual motion.
