Lu Mingfei is transforming into the final boss.

This Assassin was more troublesome than Ishtar had imagined. The Gundam EX's aura concealment made it very difficult for Ishtar to detect his figure and movements when he was completely concealing his aura.

Meanwhile, the immense aura of the Heavenly Bull had also vanished, which could only mean that it had been defeated. However, the Spirit Origin reaction still existed, which meant that it had been taken away by someone.

It hasn't even been ten minutes since Lu Mingfei set off.

For a combat power of this level, there is no doubt that they were instantly killed.

This is the worst news. It means that the god of Jerusalem will also come here. From her perspective, the child Humbaba will not be able to stop her.

This is beyond doubt. No Servant unit could possibly stop her. Although she is arrogant, with Lu Mingfei's magic output, at least after the complete return of the Age of Gods, she would have the strength to contend with her.

"This is getting complicated."

She floated in the air, dodging the thousand blades that Hassan attacked, and while enchanting the laws of physics, she fired magical light bullets to retaliate.

However, the only problem is that even the laws of physics can bewitch her, and the Servants hiding in the shadows are no match for her.

……

"This...is reality, this is...the Holy Grail War." Tsubaki Kugano gazed at the distant battlefield, which resembled a war between gods.

Her golden eyes were blessed with blood, granting her the ability to barely observe the battlefield.

Mr. Blackie had also fallen silent long ago, protecting her safety every step of the way.

She had been in the hospital for more than a day, and returning to reality made her feel disoriented. The empty city made her feel as if she were still in that pseudo-underworld.

But no, as a modern person, she knows how to use electronic devices, and she can learn about the frantic exodus of citizens from Xueyuan City by simply checking the news.

In this city that has become a playground for the gods, staying even one more day could be catastrophic. The aftershocks of battles between those gods and demigods can easily take human lives, including magicians.

There are even rumors circulating online that the federal government is preparing to wipe Snowfield City off the map, since the federal government's military actions can be inferred from the number of pizza and coffee takeout orders near the Pentagon.

The sudden surge in takeout orders also means a new round of meetings and discussions.

But Xiaochun doesn't really consider herself a magician now, nor does she seem like the sorceress Mingfei described; she can't control the power surging within her body.

It's the same principle as an adult who has brute strength but doesn't know how to fight.

However, her body was very light and her strength had become very great. When she tried to open the door, she accidentally twisted the doorknob off.

Even though she felt like she wasn't exerting any effort at all.

At this moment, Tsubaki is a hybrid living in the modern world. As a hybrid of a mortal and a fantasy species, the dragon blood surging within her alone grants her immense power to fight defensively against Servants.

"Mr. Dark, Sister Mingfei, will you win?" she asked in a childish voice.

Even though she had come to understand that Mr. Black was just a machine, a tool, and that Sister Yu Mingfei's magic costume was no different from a magician's.

The Pale Knight did not respond; it only responded to Tsubaki's device, responding only to wishes and not to speaking or communicating.

"Go for it, Mingfei!"

She kept calling out in her heart.

"Hey, this guy's really tough to deal with." Richard narrowly dodged Humbaba's magic.

He fought alongside Enkidu, while Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others had already gone to the temple of Ishtar, like the heroes who had climbed the tower ahead of them.

The guardian of the forest, in mythology, was able to single-handedly withstand the combined might of Gilgamesh and Enkidu—that's no small feat.

The fact that they were both Servants fighting each other put Richard under considerable pressure, as he needed to guard against the mental attack that had affected the King of Heroes.

Humbaba concentrates all of his magic power for defense, but if used for attack, this magic power could blow away an entire block with a single blow.

With a roar from the lion, he unleashed another burst of light.

"It seems the battle has already been decided on her side." Enkidu said, blocking Humbaba's attacks while listening to the sounds coming from afar.

"Mingfei? Wow, that's fast! She was fighting such a massive divine beast!" Richard's aura intensified upon hearing the news. "Looks like we need to finish this battle quickly too."

"This will probably be very difficult." Enkidu still maintained his inorganic appearance.

Humbaba's Master made an absolutely correct choice: to enhance Humbaba's defensive capabilities with magical energy and Command Seals.

With the goddess's blessing, a fully defensive Humbaba could easily drag top-tier Servants like Enkidu and first-rate Servants like Richard into a stalemate of offense and defense.

"He is currently focusing all his efforts on defense, and his Master is also using Command Seals for defensive battles. It seems very difficult to defeat him and break through the past."

While it would be entirely feasible for them to bypass it with their agility—Richard has A++ agility, and Enkidu can also use his Metamorphosis ability to convert other powers back into agility to achieve A++ speed—it's completely unnecessary to ignore Humbaba and force their way in.

That would mean being attacked from both sides by Ishtar, leaving them vulnerable on both sides.

Ishtar is quite difficult to deal with, after all, Ishtar is not a Servant and is not restricted by Servant Spirit Origins, and it is not impossible for her to possess the Divine Core of the Lady of the Sky.

"Indeed, this situation is not suitable for a rapid march." Richard parried Humbaba's attack and casually swung his Excalibur again.

This strike was blocked by Humbaba again. Unsurprisingly, he had already swung Excalibur dozens of times tonight. With Ayaka's magical support, he could be said to have unlimited magical power.

These few strikes were nothing to Ayaka, but even so, he used them with great restraint, mostly using them as probing attacks.

After all, not much time has passed since the start of the battle. In terms of the logic of the Wanderer's War, the current situation is one of mutual probing, testing the enemy's specific abilities, class skills, and Noble Phantasms.

Humbaba's ability to hold them back also means that Humbaba is being held back by them, and in terms of combat strength and numbers, Ishtar's side is absolutely overwhelmingly inferior.

Before their arrival, an Assassin had already broken into the temple, and Humbaba's detection abilities were clearly unable to detect his movements, and he didn't even realize that he had entered the temple.

Although they could end Humbaba's activities by directly killing the Master, they all felt it was unnecessary to do so.

"Judging by the time, it should be about right," Enkidu said calmly. "They'll be here soon too."
