The woman's clear, cool, and melodious voice rang out.

"As the daughter of a human and a god, she brings down punishment."

A dark curtain rose, and Arjuna raised his hand. A dazzling sphere containing terrifying magic rose from her hand and visibly grew larger and more terrifying.

"Witness this collapse!"

"The Hand of the God of Destruction"!

The sphere, which shone brightly like a star without rotating, instantly flew above Minamoto no Yorimitsu and his two sisters, along with numerous fallen female Servants. But just as it was about to engulf them, it began to expand.

The void shattered behind the three women.

A giant hand made of black mud pulled the three of them directly into the void, where they were replaced by even more fallen Servants.

And the next second.

The barrier instantly enveloped all the fallen Servants on the battlefield, and almost in an instant, they were annihilated without pain or resistance.

And just as Arjuna slowly landed from the air, his bare feet touching the ground...

"This is...?"

Arjuna's face instantly turned incredibly rosy.

Her cherry lips parted slightly in pain.

The corruption and contamination brought about by the instantaneous killing of thousands of fallen Servants, along with an indescribable feeling she had never experienced before, surged into her body all at once.

"Huh?!"

······

Chapter Thirty-Two: Artemis Descends (Seeking criticism at the beginning of the month)

A fallen Servant can have a great influence on ordinary people, capable of corrupting them deeply in an instant.

But for Arjuna, it was very small, so small that she could ignore or even erase it if she spared her attention even slightly; it was as small as a drop of sweet water diluted tenfold.

Although she could still taste a hint of sweetness, it was to the point that it wouldn't be a problem for her or a diabetic to drink it.

However, even the smallest one, if condensed into thousands and then stuffed all at once, would not be something Arjuna could easily bear, not to mention that she had just fought a series of battles and released her Noble Phantasm, and was in a state of weakness in both magic power and physical strength.

More than three thousand raindrops of corrupting magic converged into a river and flowed into Arjuna's body.

"ah?!!!"

Caught off guard, Arjuna suddenly raised his head.

Her wide, beautiful eyes were filled with confusion that she tried to suppress but couldn't. The only sound that came out of her mouth, which she tried to control, was a hoarse 'hoarse' sound.

at this time.

A void rift appeared beside her, and a large black mud hand reached out from the void.

Normally, Arjuna would react immediately to any unusual movement in the void, creating distance and firing back with arrows. But now, she was powerless to resist, forced to watch helplessly as the large, dark hand reached for her.

at this time.

Above the sky, a flame descended suddenly like a meteor, piercing directly through the pitch-black hand.

"Karna?"

Arjuna stared in disbelief at the tall figure standing before her, wielding a sun-shaped spear.

Karna turned his head and glanced back at her, then stared silently into the void.

As the black mud hand was severed, the void rift seemed to fall into silence for a while, but after a few seconds, the sound of applause came from the void rift.

"***."

Lin Jiu'an clapped his hands and walked out of the crack.

"This is amazing! I didn't expect it to be buy one get one free..."

Lin Jiu'an suddenly stopped speaking and looked into the distance behind Karna.

The roar of the motorcycle engine and the thunder of the warhorse filled the air, raising clouds of dust. The black warhorse leaped up and, together with the motorcycle which had almost drifted and braked, stopped on either side of Arjuna, subtly protecting her in the center.

Looking at Martha, Fujimaru Ritsuka, Artoria, and Sakata Kintoki as they dismounted from their warhorses.

Lin Jiu'an's smile widened.

"What, are you going to have a final battle with me?"

“Let us take Arjuna away and hand over Scáthach, and we can leave,” Fujimaru Ritsuka said.

"Tsk, you've gotten bolder over time."

Lin Jiu'an scrutinized Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was staring directly at him, with great interest, a wicked smile playing on his lips: "Has it been a while since I disciplined you? Or is it..."

Lin Jiu'an looked at Martha and Artoria, who were blocking her way on either side.

"They gave you the courage."

"Beast of Original Sin, are you looking down on me?" Martha held the cross and looked at him with hostility, as if she was eager to try.

"I look down on you? No, of course not."

Lin Jiu'an shook his head and chuckled, his gaze sweeping over Artoria, Martha, Fujimaru Ritsuka, and Sakata Kintoki one by one, finally settling on Arjuna, whose face was still flushed and who was gritting his teeth and barely suppressing the corrupting aura within him, and Karna, who had no expression.

"I look down on you."

"You think you can take someone from me?"

"What if we add one more?"

Lin Jiu'an glanced sideways.

The moment Fujimaru Ritsuka finished speaking, he felt himself being locked onto by a powerful presence and looked toward the direction from which that presence appeared.

"This is the first time I've ever seen such a unique beast of original sin."

"That's why we need to eliminate it as soon as possible. If we let this thing grow, not only will this world's civilization be destroyed, but the entire history might be ruined."

A sweet and lively female voice accompanies a somewhat frivolous male voice.

Before even seeing the target, Lin Jiu'an sighed. This unique combination, coupled with Fujimaru Ritsuka's confidence in front of him, made him know without even looking at the other person where Fujimaru Ritsuka's confidence came from.

And when your gaze falls there.

What Lin Jiu'an saw was a voluptuous and tall white-haired goddess with a talking teddy bear sitting on her shoulder.

Artemis, and Orion.

Well, that should be considered good news. After all, what came down wasn't the superhuman Orion with a Grand rank, but a useless bear. Although in some ways the goddess Artemis is more terrifying than all the Grand Servants, it's clear that this Spirit Origin can't support Artemis releasing the power of a chief god.

"Do we now have the leverage to negotiate?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka suppressed her fear and looked directly into Lin Jiu'an's eyes.

"Release Scáthach, and we'll leave!"

"Let's not even talk about whether Scáthach is with me or not. Even if she is, do you think I'd be stupid enough to let her go and let you take Arjuna and Scáthach away, only to come back and cause me trouble once you've recovered?"

"Get out now, and I can pretend you were never here, otherwise..."

Lin Jiu'an sneered.

He exuded a dark and terrifying aura, and countless dark and gloomy negative emotions that would drive an ordinary person crazy at just a glance seemed to materialize around him, like armor.

Demonic transformation!

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Jiu'an had already disappeared from the spot.

"So fast!"

Karna's pupils contracted slightly as he looked at Lin Jiu'an, who left only a dark afterimage.

She had fought Lin Jiu'an before, but she had never seen him use this ability. Usually, their battles were evenly matched, with each side gaining and losing, but this time...

She could hardly catch a glimpse of the other person.

"Sun, transform into armor!"

A strong sense of crisis prompted Karna to react instinctively in battle.

The God-Slaying Spear transformed into golden armor covering her body, and two sun-shaped discs shining with the light of the sun blocked her way. In the next moment, Lin Jiu'an's figure appeared in front of her.

He swung his sword down.

The demonic sword, trailing a dark shadow, struck the roulette wheel. The clanging of metal continued for a moment before Karna slid dozens of meters across the ground, finally coming to a stop only after others intervened.

Artemis drew her bow and arrow.

The gleaming arrow hurtled toward Lin Jiu'an's heart.

Forced to abandon Karna, Karna used this buffer time to stomp on the ground and charge at Lin Jiu'an again, gripping the flame-wrapped spear.

Artoria, Sakata Kintoki, and Martha were on their way to help.

Suddenly, lightning cleaved a chasm in front of them, and the three of them stopped in their tracks, looking at the three women—Minamoto no Yorimitsu, Nagao Kagetora, and Konohamaru—blocking their way.

"Boss Lai Guang?!"

"Please do not disturb Jiu'an while he is doing his business."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu ignored Sakata Kintoki and showed a gentle smile on his face that was completely different from the lightning on the sword.

"Seriously, how did it turn out like this again?"

Sakata Kintoki complained and walked directly toward Minamoto no Yorimitsu with his axe.

"Leave the eldest brother, Lai Guang, to me. You two can divide the remaining two among yourselves."

Artoria and Martha remained silent, exchanged a glance, and then walked towards Nagao Kagetora and Huyan Zhuo respectively.

······

"Wow! Is this guy a monster?!"

"That speed, that power, it's just too unfair!"

On the battlefield between Lin Jiu'an and Artemis and Karna.

Orion, now a teddy bear, was hiding on the ground in a corner. Although Artemis didn't really want him to leave, it was clear that the intensity of the battle had exceeded what a Spirit Origin could handle.

In contrast to the loud and incessant shouting of Orion.

Even Artemis, who is usually playful and doesn't resemble a goddess at all, was serious at this moment, constantly dodging and drawing her bow to assist Karna.

With the triple blessing of the Heavenly Demon Transformation, the Saint's Number, and the Gem of the Earth, Lin Jiu'an's physical attributes have been enhanced to a terrifying level. Even Karna and Artemis, in their current Spirit Origin state, feel somewhat strained.

"Tsk, that's really troublesome."

Lin Jiu'an also felt it was troublesome.

With a single sword strike, Lin Jiu'an deflected Artemis's arrow. Seeing Karna widen the distance once more, Lin Jiu'an, unable to conceal his emotions under his demonic transformation, pouted irritably, his eyes blazing with even greater savagery.

Karna goes without saying.

He remained clad in his "golden armor," seemingly unprepared to confront him head-on with the God-Slaying Spear.

The golden armor, capable of reducing attacks of at least one-tenth, including physical, magical, and other types, and possessing self-healing abilities that can repair even fatal wounds, was something he couldn't do for the time being.

If Lin Jiu'an could calm down and use his true form to corrode it, he was confident he could deal with the golden armor. But obviously, Karna wouldn't just stand by and watch him use his true form to corrode it.

Meanwhile, Artemis, who was harassing them from the side, was even more annoying.

Although it seems a bit uncertain, she is, after all, one of the twelve Olympian gods of Greek mythology. Besides being the most well-known goddess of the moon, she is also the goddess of the hunt. Her combat skills are in no way inferior to Karna and the others, and may even be superior.

Even though Lin Jiu'an tried to attack Artemis from different directions several times, each time he got close to her, Artemis used her superior combat intelligence to thwart his attacks, and Karna would quickly come to her aid.

Shuten-dōji's poison was clearly ineffective against Karna, who was wearing golden armor.

"In that case."

Lin Jiu'an grinned maniacally.

'Thump!'

suddenly.

A particularly deep yet clear sound of a heart beating reached the ears of everyone on the battlefield.
