Chapter 307

"O Brahma, Curse My Body!"

The flaming spear was thrown, falling into the Demon God Pillars like a hot knife through butter.

"Whoosh!!!"

In an instant, the light scattered like an avalanche, engulfing all eight Demon God Pillars and illuminating the entire Army of the King.

"Truly worthy of being the son of the Sun God..."

At this moment, Iskandar finally had a profound understanding of Karna's strength; he was worthy of being a top-tier Servant on par with Gilgamesh, one of the three golden targets.

When the light dissipated, only a giant crater like a meteor impact remained, and the Demon God Pillars were nowhere to be seen.

The Demon God Pillars had been successfully annihilated.

"It's a success."

Iskandar dispelled his Army of the King, returned to the outside world with Karna, and smiled at the others.

Hearing that all the Demon God Pillars had been annihilated, the gathered Heroic Spirits breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The destructive power of those Demon God Pillars was simply too great; in less than half an hour, the Hanging Gardens had already been blasted into ruins. Being able to stay airborne was already a stroke of luck.

"Next, there is only..."

Everyone's gaze fell upon Goetia, who was suspended in mid-air.

"Hmph!"

Goetia let out a cold snort, slowly descended to the ground, and made no further move.

The opponent's meaning could not have been clearer.

"Attack me as you please; if I retreat even a step, I lose."

"Charge!"

The Heroic Spirits exchanged glances and charged at Goetia in unison.

Artoria, Qin Shi Huang, Amakusa Emiya Emiya Shirou, and the others rushed forward to launch their attacks, but every single one of their Noble Phantasms was blocked by an invisible wall of Qi.

Semiramis commanded Bashmu to unleash its venomous breath, only for it to be instantly dispersed by a shockwave.

Gilgamesh projected treasures from his Gate of Babylon, and Karna unleashed his eye-beam bombardment; when the smoke cleared, Goetia remained completely unscathed.

"Are they all useless..."

Seeing that their attacks had no effect, everyone paused for a moment.

How were they supposed to fight this? They couldn't even break his defense.

"It seems your attacks have concluded. Now, it is my turn."

Goetia smiled coldly, and his figure suddenly vanished from where he stood.

"BOOM!!!"

Karna, directly in front, instinctively used his Golden Armor to defend, only to be sent flying by the impact.

Before the others could even react to what had happened, they saw Goetia appear before them, and each of them took a punch, following in Karna's footsteps.

In an instant, every Servant had been knocked to the ground by Goetia.

"What immense strength. Is this guy really a Caster?"

Achilles climbed up from the ground, unable to believe that the attack he had just witnessed was performed by 'Solomon'.

You're a Caster—shouldn't you be bombarding us with magic? What's with the fisticuffs? And your strength is actually greater than mine!

Karna and Siegfried also wore grave expressions; Goetia's actions were completely beyond everyone's expectations.

"Hmph! 'Chains of Heaven'!"

Gilgamesh put away his shield and immediately summoned his good friend, binding Goetia tightly.

Seizing the opportunity, the group charged toward Goetia once more.

"Heh..."

Goetia sneered, his body shuddering, and he shattered the Chains of Heaven. He raised a hand to grab Diarmuid's Gae Dearg, snapped it with a burst of strength, and then backhanded Diarmuid away.

Diarmuid instinctively used Gae Buidhe to block, but the spear shattered under the immense force, rendering it impossible to summon again in the short term.

Artoria and the others who rushed up were also knocked back, though their Noble Phantasms were sturdier and did not break like Diarmuid's.

The world where only the Lancer gets hurt has been achieved.

Just as the group continued their chaotic battle with Goetia, Astolfo arrived, dragging a group of people, and wobbled onto the aerial fortress; the Hippogriff expressed a desire to curse someone.

For safety's sake, Fiore and Caules were left behind below.

"Oh my goodness..."

Looking at the flattened aerial fortress, the group was dumbfounded.

That magnificent aerial fortress had now been reduced to this state.

Seeing the battle raging in the distance, Jeanne and Mordred immediately rushed over.

"Where is that guy Gordes? He hasn't died already, has he?"

Astolfo hadn't forgotten his mission; he scanned the surroundings but couldn't find Gordes, so he began to speculate.

"Don't just go around saying I'm dead!"

A pile of rubble not far away was pushed aside, and a disheveled Gordes shouted at Astolfo with dissatisfaction.

"You're too slow! I almost died here!"

Astolfo: "Sorry, sorry, but you know how it is—my Hippogriff's speed is just like that."

Gordes: "Forget that! Get me back to the ground quickly; I don't want to stay here anymore!"

On the other Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side, Jeanne was halfway there when she suddenly sensed something and turned to rush toward a pile of rubble nearby.

Moving the debris aside, she discovered two figures.

It was Hassan of the Hundred Faces; she was using her body to shield the still-unconscious Xiang Junior Feng Xi, though she was clearly at the end of her rope.

Previously, to protect Xiang Junior Feng Xi from the Demon God Pillars' bombardment, she had exhausted all her clones, and she herself had suffered heavy injuries, relying entirely on willpower to hold on.

"Ruler, is it..."

Seeing that the newcomer was Jeanne, Hassan of the Hundred Faces finally breathed a sigh of relief. She used her last bit of strength to hand Xiang Junior Feng Xi to Jeanne, saying, "I entrust my Master to you."

With that, her body turned into white light and vanished, exiting the stage.

"I understand."

Jeanne nodded, picked up Xiang Junior Feng Xi, and ran toward Astolfo.

It was too dangerous here; it was better to let Astolfo Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take Xiang Junior Feng Xi away first.

Fortunately, Astolfo had not yet left; he did not refuse to Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take Feng Xi along, and sent them back to the ground.

"Uncle Gordes, are you alright?"

Seeing Gordes sitting on the ground, panting heavily with lingering fear, Fiore rushed forward to ask.

Gordes: "Huff... I swear, I never want to experience such a terrifying battle a second time..."

"What's wrong with him?"

Emiya Emiya Shirou Kotomine looked at the unconscious Xiang Junior Feng Xi and asked.

Astolfo: "I don't know either; he was like this when Ruler gave him to me."

Fiore: "Rider, where is Uncle Darnic?"

Astolfo: "Eh? I didn't see him?"

"It seems he is still trapped up there."

Fiore said softly: "Rider, please make another trip and rescue Uncle Darnic as well."

Astolfo: "Alright, alright."

Helpless, Astolfo could only ride the Hippogriff back to the Hanging Gardens once more.

"Eat my sword!"

On the Hanging Gardens battlefield, Mordred and the others who had arrived had already joined the fight.

The aggressive Mordred launched a "Cleave Mount Hua" strike at Goetia, and then... she was sent flying by a single punch.

"What the hell!"

Mordred climbed out of the ruins, disheveled and incredulous.

Having taken a punch from Goetia head-on, she felt pain all over her body.

At this moment, Mordred was just as bewildered as Artoria and the others had been earlier.

You're a Caster—why do you have such immense strength!

"Damn it..."
