In the great underground cavern, black flames raged.
Facing the Saber Alter who slowly emerged from the darkness, the hearts of Belle and her stream viewers instantly sank to the bottom.
In previous levels, this was the invincible "nuclear weapon" that PD needed to hold back for a full 40 seconds to clear the screen.
And now, this nuclear weapon had become the final Boss standing in their way!
[Battle Start!]
Saber Alter did not charge in groups like those skeleton soldiers.
She merely dragged that pitch-black holy sword, approaching Belle's base blue gate step by step with an extremely oppressive and slow pace.
"Regardless, build the defense line first! Georgios, hold the line!"
Belle suppressed the grief caused by the Director's tragic death, gritted her teeth, and deployed [Georgios] on the path Saber Alter had to take.
On the high platform in the rear, the healer Andersen and the system-provided support [Caster Cu Chulainn] stood ready.
However, the gap in strength was desperate.
Facing Georgios's heavy great shield, Saber Alter didn't even make any unnecessary movements, simply swinging out a pitch-black basic attack sword wave.
"Snap—!"
[HP - 2800!]
A massive, scalp-tingling red number erupted above Georgios's head.
Just a single basic attack took away more than half the HP of the max-level tank!
Not only that, the residual force of the sword wave even scraped the high platform in the back, leaving Andersen with a sliver of HP!
"Holy crap! Is this a basic attack?!"
The viewers in the stream were stunned.
"The tank can't even take two hits, how is this playable?!"
Before Belle could react, Saber Alter stopped.
She slowly raised the holy sword in her hand, which was wreathed in dark red, violent magical energy.
A piercing system alarm resounded throughout the great cavern.
[Warning! Ultra-high-level magical energy reaction detected!]
Under the extremely realistic sense of oppression, Belle could even feel that pitch-black magical energy frantically draining the surrounding oxygen.
"Vortigern, hammer of the vile king, reverse the morning sun—"
Saber Alter's cold, ruthless chant rang out.
Once this black Excalibur struck down, let alone the front-row tank, every Servant on the entire straight line would be wiped out in an instant!
"It's over... we're going to be wiped out. There's no stopping it!"
Belle closed her eyes in despair.
Just at this critical moment...
Hum—!
Time on the entire battlefield was suddenly forcibly frozen by a divine, powerful force!
A system prompt sounded in Belle's ear, carrying a god-like solemnity:
[Master, when you are in a desperate situation, please look at the back of your hand.]
Belle was stunned for a moment and instinctively raised her right hand.
In her VR field of vision, three magic tattoos, crimson like fresh blood and radiating a scalding temperature, had appeared on the back of her right hand at some point!
[Core mechanic unlocked: Command Spell]
[Description: This is the symbol of the Master's absolute command over Servants, and the final trump card to create miracles! Current remaining: 3.]
[Consume 1 Command Spell: Instantly restore 100% HP to the designated Servant.]
[Consume 1 Command Spell: Instantly grant 100% NP to the designated Servant, allowing them to unleash their Noble Phantasm immediately!]
The stream instantly boiled over:
"Holy crap! An ultimate skill charger?! There's such a god-tier setting?!"
"This is equivalent to getting an extra life and three ultimate skills! The trump card for a desperate counterattack!"
"Quick, quick, quick! Belle, use the Command Spell, Saber Alter is about to strike!"
"So this is the true power of a Master..."
Belle looked at the scalding red Command Spell on the back of her hand, and the flames of hope reignited in her eyes.
She pointed abruptly at the pink-haired underclassman blocking the front and shouted:
"In the name of the Command Spell—Mash, unleash your Noble Phantasm and block this attack!"
Swish!
One of the red tattoos on the back of her hand instantly dissipated.
At the same time, a massive amount of materialized magical energy instantly poured into Mash's body!
Mash's originally empty NP gauge instantly filled up at an incredible speed, erupting with brilliant golden light!
Time flowed again!
"Consume the light—[Excalibur Morgan]!!"
Saber Alter slashed down, and the world-destroying black light cannon roared, swallowing the entire defense line.
But just a second before the light cannon touched the position, Mash slammed her cross-shaped great shield into the ground:
"[Lord Camelot]!!"
The holy chalk walls rose from the ground!
Two terrifying torrents of magical energy, one black and one white, collided frantically in the center of the battlefield, emitting a piercing roar that made the entire screen tremble violently.
