Chapter 394 Emiya Unleashes His Astounding Wisdom

A few minutes ago.

“Very good, His Majesty Trajan’s ‘decree’ has been issued. A new batch of Command Seals has been approved urgently! Arjuna, now begin filling the Command Seals and go over there to begin the full release of the Pashupata.”

"The entire Archer unit led by Minamoto no Tameaki will use 'Decisive Tactics' to support you. Karna on the other side will synchronize with you."

On a high hill, Arjuna, who was constantly sniping at distant targets with his Vulcan bow, nodded after hearing the news from his general, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, this time I'll be fighting alongside my arch-enemy against the same foe...

He immediately took light steps, and flames of magic shot out from under his feet, moving with a loud boom toward the designated bombing area.

Odysseus breathed a sigh of relief, his expression still relatively calm.

In his view, although the Sword Emperor was ridiculously strong as the enemy of the Emperor's Servants, even if the sacrifice of Servants was used to delay, the time left for his side to carry out the plan was still very tight. However, this should be due to the unknown supporter behind the Sword Emperor.

The signs were all too obvious: they had set traps across the entire island nation in advance to lure in a large army, and were supporting the Sword Emperor in launching his own barrier-based operations.

This was a scheme that was set up from the moment the fleet was deliberately targeted.

The opponent has the advantage of terrain, which puts them in a second-tier position.

However, the Roman alliance was not entirely without advantages that allowed them to turn the tide.

Firstly, Finn had already realized this advantageous geographical position with his wisdom. Although they didn't have time to remove the unknown spell formations on the other side, they immediately implemented the "firepower cover" and "luring the enemy in" plan, turning the tables and taking the initiative to stand on the third level again.

Secondly, the key to turning defeat into victory lies in the combined attack of Arjuna's Noble Phantasm and Karna's Noble Phantasm on Caesar's side, along with various forms of support, to maximize the impact.

Leaving aside Karna on the other side, as far as Odysseus knew, Arjuna's treasure was the Pashupata, a beast-lord artifact bestowed upon him by Shiva, one of the three main gods of Hindu mythology.

According to original Indian mythology, it can be fired with thoughts, gazes, words, and arrows; with a single incantation, it can conjure "thousands of tridents, terrifying iron pestles, and arrows like poisonous snakes," slaying all living beings. In other words, it is essentially an extremely powerful instant-death weapon.

Using this Noble Phantasm that embodies the power of destruction, combined with the long-range bombardment Noble Phantasm "Thunder Sinking: Bow and Moon" by Minamoto no Tametomo, a famous general from the late Heian period of Japan, and the "Decisive Tactical Style" previously hidden by all the Archers in the main force.

Finally, there's Karna from Hector's army; if they were to attack simultaneously, their firepower would be comparable.

If you calculate it this way, it's a combined attack with "Arjuna + Karna + Minamoto no Tameaki + elite troops from both sides' main forces"... a total of four layers of firepower, which is absolutely beyond imagination.

In other words, this group of them is now on the fourth level.

Hmph, how could someone standing on the opposite side of the second floor at this moment possibly have any chance of winning?
Odysseus made this judgment in his mind, which was a way of reassuring himself.

"General, something's not right!"

Finn's voice echoed in my ears.

"What unexpected event has occurred now?" Odysseus's heart skipped a beat.

The Sword Emperor's strength was simply too outrageous, leaving him no choice but to be extremely cautious.

Finn's expression was uncertain. "It's hard to say whether this accident is good or bad—the Sword Emperor seems to have realized our plan, but instead of retreating, he accelerated into the air and went to meet us head-on."

"What on earth is going on...!"

Odysseus paused for a moment, and many possibilities flashed through his mind. For example, the Sword Emperor might be confident in his strength and be passionate about battle, so he might not bother to dodge or retreat. Or perhaps the Sword Emperor had sensed their powerful combined firepower, but this was exactly what the Sword Emperor wanted and did not need to dodge.

He then frowned deeply.

Of these two possibilities, the former seems more plausible, but it's far too wishful thinking, while the latter... doesn't make sense. Could it be that the other party possesses a hidden Noble Phantasm with unknown effects?

"How is Arjuna?"

Finn shook his head anxiously. "The Command Spells are fully loaded and the incantation for full release has begun. Forgive my bluntness, Admiral, but it seems there's no time to change the plan now—"

His eyes darted around, and his all-seeing eyes easily detected the Archer unit led by Minamoto no Tameaki at the designated sniping position. He shouted the incantation, "Boom Sink - Bow and Moon, decisive technique activated. Countdown begins..."

"Then let's stick to the original plan!"

Odysseus forced himself to remain calm, then hardened his heart and said, "Then, with the authority of the entire army's general, I will use the 'Drops of the Holy Grail - Power of Grace' from all the eagle banners!"

He gazed into the void, pointing towards the location in the canyon that shimmered with blazing aurora, "Divine Body Barrier - Aegis Connection, grant the soldiers unparalleled and unbreakable protection!"

Many sky-blue eagle banners flashed on the field, their blue light emanating from Odysseus's armor, as if they were connected to each other.

"Huh, what's this—"

Finn's pupils dilated as he shared his "Aegis" shield with everyone, and also used all his eagle banners to enhance the overall effect.

Aegis is a powerful protection in Greek mythology that wards off all evil and disaster. Could it be that it was added to the defense of the entire army just in case?
However, this would require covering over 100,000 targets for protection, which would likely place a heavy burden on Odysseus's spirit origin...

"In that case... ALGIZ (Guardian)!"

Finn also cast a spell on him, while simultaneously preparing to use another Noble Phantasm to heal the overburdened admiral.

'Sigh, I have to hold on...'

Suddenly, just as Finn was worrying about Odysseus and the Roman legions, a chorus of swords rang out in the distance, and the mountains and rivers of swords shook wildly!
Even the elite Roman soldiers who were focused on betting on the decisive tactics were all horrified.

The seemingly endless mountains, rivers, slopes, and valleys of the sword, which appeared in the distance, crumbled in an instant!
The sword realm, which had expanded for countless kilometers in all directions, shattered into nothingness. The terrain constructed of swords crumbled and rose like shimmering dust, casting a layer of silvery dust over the high heavens—

No, upon closer inspection, those things that looked like grains of dust from afar turned out to be countless sharp, reflective swords that soared into the sky, so dense and dazzling!

The pre-arranged sniping locations between the two armies.

Karna's white hair fluttered, his eyes focused, but when he gazed at the sky filled with countless flashes of swords and shadows, a scene that seemed like a harbinger of divine punishment, he was suddenly shaken to his core.

Even so, as a warrior of the mythical age, he remained steadfast in reciting the incantation for the complete release of his Noble Phantasm:

"Understand the mercy of the King of Gods."

"Indra, watch carefully."

This is his Noble Phantasm—Sun Wheel, Obey Death (Vasavi shakti). When used, his entire golden armor will disintegrate and transform, forming a complete divine spear.

This event is also recorded in the Indian epic poem Mahabharata.

Arjuna's father, Indra, fearing his son would die in battle, disguised himself as a Brahmin and tricked Karna into giving him his golden armor.

Karna kept his promise and endured great pain, personally stripping off the golden armor that had become one with his body. Indra considered this act too noble and felt compelled to repay him with something of equal value, so he gifted Karna his divine spear.

The principle behind the release of Noble Phantasms is derived from this.

In addition, once this Noble Phantasm is unleashed, the user will permanently lose their original golden armor; in other words, once transformed, it cannot be reverted. Furthermore, it can only be used once…

Theoretically, that's correct, but this is a singularity. When Karna went to war, after explaining the drawbacks of this Noble Phantasm, Emperor Caesar immediately offered to grant him a complete drop of the Holy Grail and direct access to its magical power, allowing Karna to use the Noble Phantasm multiple times.

Is it really possible?

Karna was unaware that this was the first time he had unleashed his full power. "Sun Wheel, Obey Death!" was a destructive Noble Phantasm similar to Arjuna's Beast Lord's Treasure (Pashupata), possessing immense power. It could selectively burn and dissolve individuals, making it a terrifyingly powerful god-slaying attack.

It should not be used lightly unless it is absolutely necessary.

Moreover, the singing time during the full-scale liberation is a bit long, which is also a problem, and it is difficult to use it in ordinary times when it is not critical.

Now, they are forced to use this attack against a strange emperor as powerful as a god or demon. They have even enlisted the support of their respective elite Servants.

Fortunately, the Sword Emperor on the other side was an upright warrior. Karna felt that the other side clearly had a chance to interrupt his long chanting, but he didn't do so.

It seemed that the Sword Emperor believed there was no point in doing so; even without stopping their chanting, he could still annihilate his own side.

How aloof!

Therefore, we should also offer our utmost respect!
The sun's flames spread out from Karna, and the power of the god, released in this way, immediately scorched and baked the earth, and the fragile soil on the ground crumbled and collapsed mercilessly.

The rock layers beneath the island also rumbled and collapsed, replaced by gradually boiling and churning lava!
'Hmph, I won't lose to you!'

Arjuna, who was not far away, glanced at his nemesis Karna and saw that Karna did not seem to be swayed by the enemy's terror, and immediately perked up.

"Divine domain expanded. Space fixed. Divine punishment execution period set—all confirmed."

A shimmering sphere appeared in his hand, emanating an aura of destructive power.

"Shiva's halo, come forth with the collapse."

One, two... dozens of spheres resembling glowing black holes outside the event horizon began to appear out of thin air and expand wildly. Wherever they reached, dust and hurricanes were silently annihilated by the flickering orbs of light. And this was merely the prelude to converging at maximum output.

hum-

The abundant magical support from behind shone brightly, reflected on the Noble Phantasms that the two of them unleashed.

Meanwhile, Odysseus's Archer squad, guided and focused by Minamoto no Tameaki, unleashed their Noble Phantasms in perfect unison. The resulting decisive sniping technique, like a meteor streaking across the sky, bypassed the array of Beast Master's magical artifacts and launched a preemptive strike against Emiya.

Hector personally led the Lancers of the main force to unleash their Noble Phantasms. The "Undying Extreme Spear" gathered unrestrained and unparalleled penetrating power and attacked Karna from the side, accurately hitting Emiya who was flying in the air!

a moment ago.

Emiya was still fiddling with something; he'd had a new inspiration while he was soaring into the air earlier—

"What if I melted all the swords together and forged them into one, like I did before (Chapter 245)?"

"Back then I didn't have a divine artifact, but now I have a new one. Can I create something that will amaze everyone?"

Therefore, he decided to use his extraordinary wisdom to self-disband the Sword Realm as an experiment.

At the same time, a question flashed through my mind as I glanced at the two Indians who were still unleashing their Noble Phantasms with extremely long wind-ups, and the two in the back row who were attacking first.

"?"

He thought to himself, "You guys are going all out, but you haven't come up with anything new. This little bit of gesture doesn't even count as a sign of respect!"
And he even resorted to the old trick of attacking from the front and back rows. He had already suffered enough from Krimshild when he entered the singularity!
