The Warrior of Love

Slude frowned slightly, but this was the current situation and she had no reason to object.

"Given our situation, if we forcefully activate Rune again, then there is a high probability that... well, you all know this even if I don't tell you."

Sure enough, Ortlinde and Hilde each nodded, but still showed no sign of regret.

On the contrary, Ritsuka was hesitant to speak. She originally wanted to stop the Valkyrie, but in the current situation, it seemed that she had no other choice.

"Please do not be sad, Master of Chaldea."

The black-haired Valkyrie stared at Ritsuka with a kind smile on her face.

"We are not wasting this life in vain, but making choices for things that we think are more valuable. However, I do have one thing that I regret, Ms. Fujimaru Ritsuka?"

"Hmm?" Ritsuka tilted her head, wondering why Ortlinde suddenly mentioned her name at the last moment before her sacrifice.

"Could you please help me convey a message to His Excellency Yuanshan Jiangliu?"

"Okay." Ritsuka's eyes twitched, and he instinctively realized something was wrong, but he still nodded.

"I have never thought about why I exist before. It was my encounter with him that gave me the opportunity to change. I am grateful for this and will continue to be grateful forever... Thank you...

I really want to thank him... If we can meet again in the future, I will repay his kindness by serving him as a Servant."

"Well……"

After that, regardless of Ritsuka's response, Ortlinde slowly closed her eyes, and the wings of light behind her shone brightly, allowing her to rise into the sky again. The two sisters, Slude and Hirude, also floated up behind her, and the three of them formed a triangular shape.

"Limit lifted... Rune, father, please give me strength!"

Chapter 806: The Goddesses' Struggle

Holy golden light bloomed from the Valkyries, and runes appeared on their hearts, which were the "Runes" that symbolized the source of their power.

Ortlinde: "Blade";

Slud: "Strong"

Hildur: Fight.

The three next-generation Valkyries liberated all their divinity to drive the original Rune to the realm of gods.

This is the wisdom that the Hanged Man obtained from the spring, and it is the embodiment of the truth engraved on the tree trunk. This is the origin of everything and the end of everything.

"Identical, manifestation begins!"

The Valkyries ascended into the sky, and the golden stars that spread out slowly spun and bloomed like roses. At the same time, a subtle wave swept through them.

hum!

The bodies of the three people began to burn, and the leaping flames began to erode their flesh from their feet.

This is the backlash of Rune, and also the price of liberating divinity.

Unlike ordinary Servants, they are not spiritual beings, but rather "machines" that survived Ragnarok and have continued to the present.

Their death is not a return to the Throne of Heroes, but a true death. As for whether they will be promoted to the Throne of Heroes after that... that is something no one can be sure of.

"Synchronize and start...Everyone, let's go!"

A huge amount of magic power exploded, and was then quickly compressed. The bodies of Hilde and Slud turned to ashes in the flames, and only the black-haired Valkyrie remained in this world.

She still has unfinished work: to make one final effort for this world as a Valkyrie!

"【Ragnarok Líf?rasir】!"

At the last second before destruction, Ortlinde threw out the spear that had almost solidified into substance.

hum!

The spiral of golden light broke through the blockade of the undead. Countless former heroes were caught up in the aftermath, their broken bodies torn into pieces.

The golden light continued to advance forward unstoppably, and anything that stood in its way would be pierced through by it. That was the magic gun known as the "Great God's Declaration"!

Following the final will of the Valkyries, the divine spear burst into dazzling light and hit the World Tree!

boom! !

The violent explosion set off a storm. The huge impact force was transmitted along the tree trunk and roots to the earth, causing the whole world to tremble slightly.

After the smoke and flames dissipated, everyone saw a large hole with a diameter of one hundred meters on the trunk of the thick World Tree. The scenery behind it could be seen through the tree trunk...but the World Tree still stood tall.

"Failed?" Mash's voice trembled.

"No!" Ritsuka corrected, "It worked, they've opened the way for us!"

What the young lady master saw was not only the huge hole in the World Tree, but also the remains of the undead that were torn apart alive along the path of the divine spear.

Most of the heroic undead spirits awakened by the World Tree have now been eliminated, and the remaining number is not enough to form a blockade.

"Rush over now!"

"Yes!"

"understand!"

"Shirou!"

"Ow!"

Ritsuka held Shidune in his arms from behind, riding on the giant white bear, and began the final charge with the servants.

In this apocalyptic world, flames and miasma are everywhere. Just breathing is equivalent to chronic suicide. The occasional bursts of air have the power to blow away houses and trees, but no one stops because of this.

Even the most fragile Ritsuka was enduring this hellish environment.

"Roar!"

The threat that followed the flames was the roaring undead warriors.

They looked as hideous as mummies. Although they were dead, they had not forgotten their martial arts in life. They descended from the sky wielding rusty swords.

"Drink!"

Mashu swung the shield vigorously and knocked one person away.

However, this did not stop the opponent. He flipped nimbly in mid-air and landed safely. In front of Mash's surprised eyes, he took another step and launched a second attack at a speed comparable to that of a Servant.

"The blazing flames..."

A deep and delicate female voice sounded, and a blue flame came, wrapping the undead warrior in flames.

"Ahhh!"

Under the scorching flames, the undead let out painful wails and were instantly burned to ashes.

"Please be careful with it……"

Brunhilde reminded Mash: "Although they are dead, they were also warriors who obtained the hero's certificate when they were alive."

"I understand!"

Mashu took a deep breath, regrouped, and began to concentrate on dealing with these undead spirits.

Dozens of pitch-black undead warriors surrounded and besieged Chaldea's group, as crazy as wild beasts, but their fighting skills were not rusty. Even though there was no coordination, they still put everyone in a tough fight.

"We can't get entangled with them here! We don't need to defeat them, as long as we can reach the World Tree!"

Ritsuka paused for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Shido, what is the range of your Noble Phantasm?"

"Ugh?"

Shidune was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what she meant.

"I'll give it a try!"

A short bow appeared in the hand of the white-haired girl, and an arrow condensed by magic was placed on the string and slowly pulled open. However, it was not aimed at any enemy, but at the World Tree in the distance.

In an instant, in this world covered in flames, drifting snowflakes appeared...

The temperature dropped suddenly, the heat wave was eroded by the cold wind, and the scorched earth was gradually frozen.

Although it is not the world's scope, the space within a hundred meters has been replaced by a world of ice and snow!

This is a treasure that is a combination of the inheritance of the witch Louxi who sealed the sun and the moon in a cave, and the mental landscape of a certain girl who serves as the vessel of the goddess.

Once the curse is uttered, the sky will lose the distinction between day and night, and the entire surface of the earth will become a lifeless and silent world - although this world has already been destroyed once and there is no life at all.

And in the hands of Shido, who can freely control ice, snow, wind, and freezing power, it shows the power to freeze the world!

It may not be able to match the flames of Ragnarok, but it is still a national treasure that is powerful enough to distort reality!

Inject all the magic power into it, release the power of the three goddesses you inherited, and release the strongest attack!

"Freeze the powers in the sky!"

hum!

The pure white arrow was shot towards the World Tree, and even without special aiming, it accurately hit the huge existence.

boom!

The power to freeze everything was detonated, and ice covered the bark of the World Tree. Even the roots were affected, and half of the World Tree was frozen!

"It's not enough! One final blow is needed!"

Although the World Tree was severely damaged, its roots were still firmly rooted deep in the earth, constantly extracting the spiritual energy of the earth veins. No matter how serious the damage was, as long as it was not completely cut down, it was still possible to recover.

In fact, the previous fierce battle between Surut and Jiang Liu here had already greatly damaged the World Tree, causing it to repair itself countless times and consuming most of its stored magic power. Otherwise, with attacks of the level of the Valkyrie and Shidune... it would have recovered to its original state at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Now, it can only heal its wounds slowly.

Chapter 807: Fafnir's Counterattack

"Not even close..."

The group advanced towards the World Tree with difficulty. As the huge but broken tree got closer and closer, Ritsuka felt more and more pressure.

How do we cut down such a huge monster?

Even if it's just one last blow, this blow must have firepower above the city to be effective, right?

"It seems that only I can put an end to this."

Brunhilde has made up her mind. The Great God's Mark in her body is closer to the "original" than that of Ortlinde and others. The power after being released will naturally be higher. If enough magic power is injected, it will definitely reach the level of a city-killing treasure.

"If this spiritual foundation is burned out..."

"Senior, be careful!"

Mashu suddenly raised her shield and stepped forward, blocking an undead warrior that was rushing towards Ritsuka. Perhaps he was an expert at stealth when he was alive, as he was not discovered until he was so close.

Li Xiang was still in shock, but disaster struck again.

"Buzz!"

The surface of the World Tree trembled slightly, and a dazzling and extreme light shot out from the crack in the starry sky, piercing through space like a divine arrow and shooting towards the Master girl who was with Shidunai.

"Well!"

Too late!

Can't stop!

Although it was only a one-time release of magic power, the gathered magic power was enough to rival that of a holy sword. After being compressed, it could even penetrate mountains!

"senior!"

Mashu had no time to come back to help, and the beam of light passed through Ritsuka's body.

Before that, a figure stood between Ritsuka and the beam of light.

hum!

The big white bear howled. Even though it was just a brush, it still caused it to feel a sharp pain.

The man was pierced by the beam of light without any suspense, but he also successfully pushed Ritsuka and Shidunai away from the spot, allowing the Master to escape with his life.

"Rider?"

Ritsuka rolled to the ground and quickly got up, only to see the white-haired and brown-skinned girl grinning at him with a big charred hole on her chest.

“Rider, you…”

"I'm sorry, I wasn't able to help much. I was the one holding back until the very end. But let me show off a little at the end... I'll show you what my 'dragon' looks like!"
