Chapter 664 - 664
"To think you've caused such a commotion after just half a night apart!"Right at that moment.
An utterly exasperated voice came from behind the two.
"This voice is...?"
Eiji froze, turning back in surprise.
"Oh my, if it isn't the Queen of the Land of Shadows? What brings you here?"
Merlin chuckled lightly as he greeted the newcomer.
"What a powerful reinforcement indeed!"
He smiled with complete detachment, as if he weren't the one who had escalated the situation to this extent.
"With such a huge disturbance, everyone knows something's happening here."
Scáthach walked over on her slender legs.
She had already changed into that purple, form-fitting combat outfit, her gaze equally grave as she looked at Arcueid.
"So this is the Princess of Earth? To think our first meeting would be in this rampaging state..."
"By the way, Scáthach, could you call someone like Goetia over?"
Eiji looked at Scáthach, suddenly struck by an idea.
"If this continues, Arcueid will destroy the entire Kinojo City. This is the center of the Singularity - if it gets destroyed, this Singularity won't be able to sustain itself. Goetia should be willing to intervene, right?"
After all, there were powerful figures here!
It wasn't just newbies like him!
Even if Arcueid could keep growing stronger, she clearly hadn't absorbed enough power yet - she hadn't reached that scale!
At the very least, she was no match for a Beast right now!
If those powerful figures intervened, wouldn't it be easily handled?
"Unfortunately, Goetia isn't here right now."
But Scáthach just shrugged and smiled lightly.
"At such a critical time? Where did he go?"
"The Atlantic."
He went that far?
Eiji felt a headache coming on and pressed further.
"What about the other powerful figures?"
"Didn't I tell you? For various reasons, they won't intervene now, even if this Singularity collapses."
Scáthach explained indifferently.
"Ultimately, those guys never believed Goetia's plan could succeed from the beginning. They only came here to see the show, or maybe held some faint hope, but they clearly won't waste their power on something like this."
The Counter Force has been working on creating an Earth UO for countless years, and the result was just one imitation - not a single success.
How could Goetia alone accomplish such a grand undertaking?
From the perspective of the other Beasts, it was only natural to consider this Goetia's wild fantasy.
Therefore, they didn't care at all about this Singularity's survival.
The only one who truly cared whether this Singularity could exist was Goetia alone.
Moreover, even Beasts need to accumulate power.
They would never expend their strength on meaningless matters.
"What about Romulus?"
Eiji suggested again.
The Grand Lancer should work too!
"We've already sent someone to contact him, but be prepared that he might not come."
Scáthach shook her head.
As the head of a multinational corporation, Romulus was constantly traveling around the world. They didn't have a chat group between them, so contacting him was actually quite difficult.
By the time we find him and get him to come here, this city might already be destroyed.
The same goes for the other Grand Servants.
"In short, for now we can only rely on the few of us here, perhaps with the addition of those in the city who have already awakened. Keep that in mind."
Scáthach warned seriously.
Eiji felt extremely heavy-hearted.
Just the few of them, dealing with a monster-like Earth Princess?
If he remembered correctly, both Scáthach and Merlin here were merely Servants.
Wouldn't it be better to find a place to hide first, wait for the storm to pass, and then come out?
"First, we must interrupt her act of absorbing power from the Earth!"
While Eiji was still thinking about running away, Merlin had already started strategizing.
"We need a strike powerful enough to shake her to interrupt this process. As long as she stops absorbing the Earth's power, the total capacity of her vessel will become fixed. That would make her much easier to deal with!"
Oh?
Eiji's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
So, Arcueid couldn't absorb power from the Earth at will?
That made sense.
If she could absorb it anytime, she wouldn't have been defeated by Roa twice in a row.
Presumably, for her, absorbing the Earth's power required her full concentration, leaving no room to think about anything else during the process. So once interrupted, she couldn't continue.
If that was the case.
This could work!
"Such an interesting battle is rare. Let me take the first strike!"
Scáthach reached out her hand, and the crimson demonic spear appeared in her grasp.
Battle intent surged on her face, her lips curled into an excited smile.
"Gáe Bolg (Barbed Spear that Pierces with Death)—!"
Infused with magical energy, the crimson demonic spear transformed into a shooting star, flying out.
Then, wrapped in a crimson storm that pierced through everything, it descended like the Sword of Damocles from above, striking directly at Arcueid from above!
A massive explosion roared like thunder.
The crimson storm swept out, suppressing everything in its path.
The ground shattered, fragments flying out like bullets.
"Is this an Anti-Army Noble Phantasm?"
Eiji raised his hand to block the storm while shouting the question.
"A B+ rank Anti-Army Noble Phantasm, but it can be used against individuals too."
Scáthach reached out, and the demonic spear returned to her hand like a swallow returning to its nest.
"It's a pity you have no talent for spearmanship. I can't pass this spear on to you!"
Scáthach said with some regret.
Eiji's talent in swordsmanship was unmatched, but his aptitude for spearmanship was virtually nonexistent.
This disappointed Scáthach, who had originally wanted to take him as a disciple, and she could only train him as an outer disciple.
"A B+ rank Noble Phantasm can cause such a commotion. What would an A+ rank be like?"
Eiji clicked his tongue in amazement.
He was growing more and more envious of Black Saber's black holy sword!
In the distance.
The swelling of magical energy came to an abrupt halt.
The Earth's lament temporarily ceased.
Eiji, Merlin, and Scáthach stood ready, vigilant.
It seemed they had successfully interrupted Arcueid's absorption of the Earth's power.
Now, it was time to see the real deal!
Just how powerful was the complete Earth Princess? They were about to catch a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg!
The dust gradually cleared.
Under the moonlight, a breathtakingly beautiful figure slowly emerged from the dust.
Her short golden hair shimmered like flowing sand, and her blood-red eyes were as captivating as gemstones.
A snow-white figure bathed in moonlight appeared as sacred and inviolable as the brilliant moon itself, breathtakingly beautiful beyond compare.
Countless starlight swirled around her, while the vortex beneath her feet seemed as unfathomable as a black hole.
Majestic magical power converged around her form, resembling rings of starlight orbiting a celestial body.
Every cell of her being radiated an incomparable presence.
Her formidable aura made all three people present tense with grave expressions.
A battle was about to erupt!
