Lu Mingfei is transforming into the final boss.

"Hey, don't you think that big guy is getting smaller?" Rin Tohsaka stood with her friend, while Hippolyta was searching for Alcides. However, with the magical energy flow so chaotic these days, finding someone was no easy task.

Lu Mingfei's battle with the Bull of Heaven nearly threw the climate and magic into chaos.

"She's probably compressing her strength. Since her size doesn't give her an advantage, it actually increases the area she can be attacked, so compressing her strength becomes a better solution. But I still don't think that bull can defeat her," a few classmates from the same classroom as Rin Tohsaka analyzed casually.

"I think so too. These big, clumsy monsters are no longer popular in the 21st century. And since Ishtar isn't even coming out to fight her personally, her already slim chances of winning are even lower," Rin Tohsaka commented sharply.

But Ishtar was too busy to assist the Bull of Heaven in the battle, because there were too many of them, and even with Humbaba's obstruction, it was impossible to keep everyone outside the temple.

Even at the very moment the battle began, a Heroic Spirit who had mastered the art of concealing his presence went to assassinate Ishtar.

The Servant's master was Faldius. He did this not because he had a change of heart or suddenly had a conscience, but because killing Ishtar or Humbaba's Master was a more likely thing to do.

Ishtar and Lu Mingfei are essentially both glass cannons, but Ishtar is even more glass cannon than Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei can now enhance her physical functions and defense through words of power, while Ishtar is just a simple doll. Her physical defense is not much stronger than that of an ordinary doll. However, one of her powers, Manifestation of Beauty [Ex], can even charm the laws of physics, which can block most attacks for her.

While Ishtar was still watching with great interest the battle between Luminfi and the Bull of Heaven.

The shadow of the first old man in the mountains quietly appeared behind her.

Even though she couldn't see the specific shape, she still sensed something entering her range of power, which instantly put her on alert.

The doll-like body of Filia is far too fragile; she has to be on guard.

"Who is it?"

She immediately looked at the faint shadow and asked the question.

It was just a shadow cast by a light shining behind an obstruction. If someone were next to Ishtar, they would definitely think she had suddenly gone mad, because it looked like just an ordinary shadow.

But to the mistress of the sky, it was not just a shadow, but a danger that could take the life of this body.

"A self-proclaimed twilight star in a foreign sky."

The shadows sank deep into the darkness, and only the sounds echoed within the temple.

That is Faldius's follower.

Hassan al-Sabah.

There are a total of nineteen Heroic Spirits bearing this name, which is a continuous inheritance of the name of the first Old Man of the Mountain. However, even though they have the same name, they are all different individuals with different realm record belts, and are recorded separately in the Throne of Heroes.

The one summoned by Faldius was even more special, as only the one who inherited the name Hassan-Sabbah could know of his existence. At first, Faldius even thought that his summoning ritual had failed, because due to the special nature of the Fuyuki Grail, the Assassin summoned would only be Hassan.

Emerging from the dark valley, he possessed only the skull mask of the old man from the mountains throughout the ages, lacking any other form, not even a human body; only that bizarre mask existed.

"I am the primordial blade of my ancestors... I have come to deliver the evening bell for you."

He announced his arrival in this way.

………………

"Are you ready?"

"It's all OK now, sister."

Lu Mingfei began chanting the unknown incantation, as if the angels who came that day were singing. This was also the first time she had ever chanted the dragon incantation completely. The main reason for this was to lock onto the incantation she had decided to use and to increase its power.

She was drawing magic from the earth's veins within a 30-kilometer radius, all for this one strike.

As the chanting of the dragon's rune ended and the magic concentrated, the fantasy that existed only in Lu Mingfei's mind was materialized.

It was a nine-headed serpent that was hundreds of kilometers long, and it was the mythical Hydra.

The torrential rain around the battlefield suddenly stopped, instantly freezing into snow, then ice crystals, and the raindrops all turned into hail that pelted the ground.

The temperature plummeted to below minus thirty degrees Celsius in an instant and continued to drop. Even the movement of atoms began to slow down. The 'Crystal Hill,' far from the center of the battlefield, felt the drastic change in temperature. Ayaka Sajou instinctively tightened her thin knitted sweater. She didn't feel particularly cold, but she made the movement subconsciously.

Lu Mingfei's hands were like those of a conductor in a symphony orchestra. With magic as her brush, she painted on the empty canvas of the air, conjuring up the nine-headed giant serpent out of thin air.

She wanted to freeze the Bull of Heaven, like putting an elephant in a refrigerator. Since she couldn't find a refrigerator big enough to fit Gugalan, she decided to just turn this place into a refrigerator.

However, while it is said to freeze, the key point of this move is not that.

Like the giant serpent Jormungandr from Norse mythology, which coils around the world, it instantly wrapped around the body of Gugalana, bringing its extremely cold domain to the bull's body. The temperature dropped rapidly, and even the lightning armor could not slow down the speed at which the extremely cold domain eroded.

-40 degrees, -50 degrees, -60 degrees, -70 degrees.

The temperature of the Heavenly Bull Gugalana continued to drop, and a layer of frost formed on its golden body. Even the parts inside its body could not retain heat, and its energy was constantly being drawn out by the nine-headed giant serpent.

"I don't care about anything else from now on! Lu Mingze!!!" Lu Mingfei shouted, telling Lu Mingze to get ready.

"Sister's here!" Lu Mingze had already prepared his part.

Lu Mingfei continued reading the rest of the text.

"Its eyes are like the morning sun, terror leaps before it, it makes the abyss boil, it reigns above all arrogant beasts."

Her golden eyes shone like stars in the sky, and a tidal wave of power erupted at its master's command.

"Word of Power: Nine-Headed Serpent!"

The temperature, which had dropped to minus 150 degrees Celsius, instantly soared to 6,000 degrees Celsius on the surface of the sun. Countless fire elements drawn into the domain exploded in a chain reaction within Jiuying's domain at the same moment.

It was a scene like the end of the world, or a proclamation of a god's arrival; its presence could be felt even from the other side of a distant continent.

That's the earth blooming.

Those are flowers that bloom on the surface of the earth, blooming into magnificent red camellias.
