"Holy shit!!!"
PD's eyes almost popped out, and he was so excited he nearly crushed his VR controller. "That one swing took out a whole artery?! That's a basic attack?! Just now my max-level Gilgamesh was just tickling it for ages!"
The bullet chat in the stream room instantly flooded like a waterfall:
"Damn! Is this the value of the Anti-Dragon Specialized Attack?!"
"Too ridiculous! Hitting a dragon not only doubles the attack power but also comes with armor-piercing True Damage! I can't even comprehend this damage!"
"Fafnir: Where are your manners? Is my max-level armor just paper in front of you?!"
"A four-star card's output in a specific environment completely blows away a general-purpose five-star card! This is what a strategy game should look like!"
Not only was the damage explosive, but when Fafnir turned its head in anger and spat a blast of scorching dragon breath onto Siegfried...
[Armor of Fafnir Triggered: Massive Damage Reduction!]
Siegfried didn't even wobble. His health bar only dropped by an imperceptible sliver. Bathing in the dragon fire, he looked like a God of War descended to earth!
"You hit it with critical fire every time, and it hits you like it's tickling! Siegfried, from today on, you are my only big brother in France!"
PD laughed wildly, frantically giving Siegfried attack commands.
With healing support from Andersen on the high ground, Siegfried alone withstood Fafnir's attacks, his greatsword swinging wildly.
Every slash took away a massive portion of the dragon's health!
After just over ten seconds of crazy output, the [SP] bar above Siegfried's portrait was completely filled! A brilliant golden light illuminated the entire tactical board.
"Brothers! We've reached the kill threshold!"
"Let this big lizard see what a true Dragon-Slaying Greatsword looks like!"
PD pressed the Noble Phantasm release button without hesitation!
*Hum—!* Tactical Time-Stop descended!
In the close-up shot, Siegfried gripped the hilt of the greatsword known as 'Balmung'.
The originally silver-white blade actually lit up at this moment with an eerie, ethereal light—an intersection of cyan-blue and twilight-orange ether!
A low, raspy chant that sounded like a death sentence echoed in everyone's ears:
"The evil dragon shall eventually fall—"
"Light and shadow that sever everything..."
Following the chant, the giant sword in his hand erupted with a semi-circular twilight sword qi that shot straight into the clouds, splitting the entire dark red sky in two!
"The world now reaches its sunset—"
Siegfried leaped high, his body tracing a perfect full-moon arc in mid-air as he aimed that world-destroying twilight sword beam at the time-stopped dragon Fafnir below and slashed down hard!
"[Balmung: Phantasmal Greatsword, Felling of the Sky Demon]!!!"
*BOOM————!!!!*
The moment time-stop ended, a semi-circular cyan ether storm swept across the entire battlefield like a tsunami!
The massive sword qi not only destroyed the armor Fafnir was so proud of but also directly pierced through its flesh and soul!
"ROOOAAARRR—!!!"
With Fafnir's final earth-shattering, shrill wail, this prehistoric beast that had driven all the players on the internet to despair with its terrifying physical armor dissolved into a sky full of golden spirit particles under the radiance of the Phantasmal Greatsword, vanishing without a trace!
The battlefield returned to a dead silence.
Only Siegfried slowly returned the greatsword to his back, leaving behind a majestic figure that hid its merit and fame.
[Mission Clear!]
Looking at the victory settlement screen popping up, PD's breathing was hurried, and his chest heaved violently.
"Brothers..." PD wiped the hot sweat from his forehead. For the first time, his eyes held a bit less of a nouveau riche's arrogance and a bit more awe for the game designer.
"From now on, if anyone tells me this game can only be played by whales, I'll be the first to slap them across the face."
Following PD's exclamation, an unprecedented 'academic trend' completely exploded on the Global Network Forum.
Countless players no longer obsessed over brainlessly pulling for five-stars. Instead, like thirsty sponges, they dove headfirst into Chaldea's Da Vinci's Workshop and began frantically researching every Servant's passives, specialized attacks, and even mythological backgrounds.
"Shocking! 1-Star Assassin Sasaki Kojirou actually possesses high 'Tsubame Gaeshi' critical damage, the strongest single-target burst for F2P players!"
"France Cheese Guide: No Siegfried? Teaching you how to use a 3-star Caster team to deep-fry Fafnir!"
"Deep Dive: Looking at FGO's hidden mechanics through mythological epics—why does Saber also have the Dragon attribute?"
Looking at this gaming ecosystem full of desire for exploration and an academic atmosphere—something that would have been absolutely impossible in the original parallel world—this modified masterpiece named Fate/Grand Order finally, at this moment, firmly established its unshakable throne in this world!
