Chapter 74 - The Battle continue.

Silence, only silence and emptiness filled the whole planet as the image froze when the two true magic collided.

The sky above the planet already lost its order and balance as the light and shadow were frozen there, but actually, each Noble Phantasm is trying to destroy the other.

However, because these two noble Phantasm are completely opposite to each other which made them stop in mid-air, even if they are from the same 5th True Magic.

Magi looked at the sky as they used all their means to witness this event, even if they were in great pain just by glancing at the collision.

You can say that these magi are quite normal because there were some deaths of some magi acting crazy and trying to analyze the true magic in the sky.

The light and the shadow, two opposite things were frozen in the air before they popped like a bubble and turned into fragments.

Two noble Phantasm canceled each other after they lost their power and the world's correction power denied their existence.

True magic or something that breaks the order shouldn't be allowed to exist normally and the world will annihilate it at the moment when it loses its power to exist.

Fragments of the light and shadow started to fall towards the planet, but they were burned when they touched the ozone layer, which is the Earth's(Gaia) defense mechanism against threats.

However, the light spots in the sky remained the world of this collision between the true magic. The magic association and church turned their full attention to the Holy Grail War as Fuyuki became the center of attention. However, they had more headaches of explaining this event rather than saying it's the government fault or an alien invasion.

Back to the nuclear Fuyuki city, Leo was still on top of the building looking at the fragments in the sky, however, his right hand was smoking as it was burned slightly.

This burn is the result of the collision as Leo took some damage, this damage is more like a concept and a truth which cannot be healed by changing organs or any scientific means.

Staring at the burn on his hand, Leo didn't show any expression as black light flashed and his hand recovered.

After healing his hand using his Noble Phantasm, Leo looked at his side and said "I imagined a lot of things, but for you to appear… Honestly, this is a surprise"

At the sky on Leo's left side, a man was standing there, completely ignoring all the gravitational force, and looking at the fragments with empty eyes.

Solomon was floating in the sky without care before he smiled slightly and said "Hello, it's quite unfortunate to meet at these times"

His aura was relaxing like a laid back guy, but that confidence and hint of seriousness made the other think he's wise, yet full of love king. The words he just said were filled with confidence yet a hint of sadness as he wasn't happy the world is in this condition, but those weren't his feelings, he wasn't even talking with Leo at this point… This is the King chosen by God.

Meanwhile, at the mountain range, Alcides lowered his bow while looking at Leo and Solomon in the distance. He felt the huge power now that surpassed the divinity of most of the Gods he saw in the past.

Although he didn't want to use it, the divinity on his Noble Phantasm showed him some truth.

When the light and the shadow collided, he didn't only see fireworks, but he saw two eras clashing at a time axis, the past and the future were head to head, even most of it was blurry.

{Al-lo, al-lo, Archer~ Archer~ Are you there?} Suddenly, Alcides heard an annoying voice in his head before he said " What do you want?"

Even if this man is his Master, Alcides doesn't care about that and if this Master dares to stop him then he'll twist his neck, even if he doesn't think that his strength is enough.

{So cold~ But did you see it? The huge collision! The battle of the True magic!!} The man said as his voice sounded joyful, but Alcides felt the twisted feeling it contained, even if he didn't care about it now.

"...." Alcides didn't answer this Master as he looked at Leo and Solomon one last time before moving away. Staying here is useless and unreasonable to enter this fight where he couldn't see hope in success so it's better to let these two kill each other.

However, before he took another step he suddenly stopped and looked to his side.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" A huge scream came from the distance as a rushing red looking rock filled with mana and divinity was flying towards Alcides. The rock was breaking the sound barrier like nothing before it appeared in front of Alcides and revealed its true form, something that Alcides never wanted to see… Himself.

Heracles, who is the Berserker version of Alcides roared again as he raised his stone ax and attacked the man in front of him.

"...!!" Alcides reacted quickly as he pulled his bow and blocked the stone ax aiming at his head before being pushed back a little.

"Berserker! What are you doing?!" A little girl, who was clinging to her Servant neck from behind using some threads, screamed as the violent wind was blowing, but Heracles was completely out of control.

"You!!!" Alcides screamed before he pulled his bow and shot, but Heracles seems to know himself very well as he threw his ax, which blocked the arrow before rushing with a punch.

Alcides didn't panic as he let go of his bow and put his hand under Heracles one before he twisted it. Using the force from Heracles, Alcides was able to raise him in the air before attempting to knock him on the ground while using his knee to hit his ribs, but Heracles twisted his body in mid-air and used his elbow to block Alcides knee.

"AHHHHHHHHH!!!" Heracles screamed with all his power before he and Alcides stared at each other and raised their head before head butting.

*BOOOOOM!!!*

The collision created a shock wave as everything was covered in dust.

"Hm? Archer seems busy *Sigh*... This is boring" A man standing on a building edge was looking at the battles going around as he felt bored by his Servant actions.

This man is Alcides's Master. He's a man with blond hair, purple eyes, and a white suit while his face always had a silly grin on it, but if someone was close he would feel terrified instead of laughing at him.

"Rider has been stolen by a sneaky guy and Solomon seems more op now *Sigh* Even a Beast came to join the fun" Alcides's Master sighed before he throws the bloody knife in his hand and ignored the corpse next to him… That's the previous Rider's master, who became useless now.

"I really, really wanted to take some shiny rings(Solomon's rings), but that seems impossible now" Alcides's Master was frustrated slightly before a wide, and mad grin appeared on his face while looking at Solomon and Leo before he said " Well, at least I can see two monsters tearing each other apart!!!"

This phrase shows that this guy… Didn't care about his mission here or anything else except having fun?.

Meanwhile, Nero was clashing with Assassin as sparks were flying across the shades and a dark phantom was flying here and there for a moment before he disappeared.

"..." Nero didn't even have time to take a break before raising her sword, blocking a dagger from the back as she entered in another close combat with Assassin.

Assassin didn't show any emotions for Nero's attacks as he was fighting in close combat with a Saber-class without losing and even took some advantage which made the only serious Master here freak out.

"Impossible!! How can an Assassin fight with a Saber?!" Rin felt this Holy Grail War already destroyed all the rules from the first day before a few red lights flashed.

Archer was holding his bow while supporting Nero, however, all his arrows missed because he can't detect the Assassin at all except vision. This only became available because of Merlin releasing his Noble Phantasm Garden of Avalon that allowed them to detect Assassin inside the flowers' field.

"....." Rin wanted to say something, but when she looked at Archer's serious expression she stopped immediately.

To be honest, Archer doesn't want to help these guys or fight here, he has to kill himself first, but this enemy is more complicated than he thought and he can't sit still.

"A+? No, it's EX when he enters the shadows" Merlin said as he was making sure of everyone inside his Noble Phantasm is okay.

The Assassin facing Nero had the presence concealment EX which made him one with the world, even the most advanced detection methods can't find him, but somehow Nero was able to even see him.

"....." Suddenly Assassin moved backward and dogged Nero's sword before he landed on a street lamp and said " Thee is cursed, attempting to use such power, and betraying faith"

The Servants around were surprised because Assassins like this aren't supposed to talk to their enemies in action, but only Nero knows what he was talking about.

This was a power beyond the limits of the Holy Grail War or even the Throne of Heroes, something that has a relation with Beast VI, which was awakened when Leo summoned her. However, an Assassin who follows the Lord's words and teaching can feel that power, which was the thing that allowed Nero to detect him.

"My faith isn't something a filthy Assassin hidden in the shadow should be worried about" Nero raised her sword as it ignited in flames before she said " And following a blind faith like you is something this Emperor would never do"

"...." Assassin didn't speak again before he raised his dagger and disappeared, he's only here because of his master order.

Nero saw this as her magical energy was blasting around her body before she rushed towards Assassin again.

Archer saw this as he provided support and Merlin was drawing something on the ground to finish this fight already, they can't stay here and expose themselves.

However, at this moment, the area started shaking again as an enormous amount of magical energy rushed to the sky.
