After Senji Muramasa completely severed the opponent's defense, a smile appeared on his face. After all, he was just a swordsmith, not that Apostle summoned by the Alien God in a certain world line, endowed with various reinforcements and protections. He was just a normal Heroic Spirit; don't overthink it, he didn't have the ability to fight one against five.
Moreover, this wasn't another world line where one fought a Holy Grail War to save their younger sister. Furthermore, in that world, the power of fighting using Heroic Spirit Cards was significantly weaker than actual Heroic Spirits. Additionally, it depended on the compatibility between the card and oneself. Who could compare to being stronger than being compatible with oneself?
Under the circumstances where one side waned and the other waxed, plus staking everything, could the great feat of ending the Holy Grail War in one night be achieved. A swordsmith like him shouldn't hope for such things.
[I am just an ordinary swordsmith, don't even think about 1v7] [doge].
Senji Muramasa looked at the Demon God's expression of wanting to restore his arm but being powerless to do so, ignoring his own body that was beginning to gradually dissipate. An extremely cheerful smile appeared on his face. "If the Tsumukari I forged only had the power to sever, then this old man would be too unworthy of the name. Don't underestimate this old man's ability!!"
How could the attack exchanged for everything in this manifestation be only this much? As for the hidden little surprise, he hoped this Demon God would discover it at the very, very end. Otherwise, if it looked like he exited after just one slash, wouldn't it make him seem a bit too weak?
"I leave the rest to you all... This old man cannot witness the work completed to the final moment, but this old man must complete the work at hand. I entrust the future to you. If you fail, this old man might turn into a vengeful spirit and haunt you all, who knows."
While continuing to adjust and record all data based on the situation before her, Da Vinci nodded to this Heroic Spirit who was about to exit, indicating that they would remember the contribution made by him. "Rest assured, we will definitely achieve victory in this battle. With me, the universal genius of human history here, there is nothing we cannot overcome."
Senji Muramasa smiled, and his entire person turned into magical energy, vanishing without a trace. However, the Demon God Pillars at this moment had no time to feel happy about a Heroic Spirit's exit. After all, before exiting, this Heroic Spirit completely broke their defense. Next, they would face extremely terrifying attacks. Are you kidding me? Even when exiting, he had to leave them with such a terrible situation...
It was good enough that these Demon Gods didn't start cursing directly. Rarely, in a short period, all the Demon Gods felt that they seemed to understand many human emotions, it was just that these emotions were all negative.
The more they understood these negative emotions, the more it strengthened the determination of these Demon God Pillars to destroy the current world. So humans have always lived in such suffering? Sure enough, we must destroy this world and save humanity.
From this point of view, these Demon Gods were somewhat like a phrase often said by a certain Steel Head Nurse: "I will save all lives, even if I have to kill all lives to do so."
It is just that what was embodied in that Head Nurse might be slightly violent medical methods or that steel will, while the Demon God Pillars before them took killing all life as the premise.
From this point of view, these Demon Gods were simply more berserk than Berserkers, crazier than madmen.
However, they ultimately didn't understand the human heart; they were just monsters. True, right now they were just Demon Gods, and only Demon Gods. They were crazy demons and also high and mighty gods... And precisely because they were high and mighty gods who didn't understand the human heart, everyone could say, "Now is the era suitable to bid farewell to gods. Old antiques of the Age of Gods should just return to the Age of Gods!"
The black magical Holy Lance wrapped around the golden Holy Lance and finally fell. This time, there was no defense; the attack directly engulfed the existing body of the Demon God Pillar before them.
"Ahhhhhh——!!!"
The shockwave generated by the magical energy rushed out to both sides. The Church members maintaining the barrier outside faced another round of impact. However, this time, because there was no defense on the target, the power of the shockwave was not stronger than the previous one. The Church logistics personnel, who had already prepared for a stronger impact, naturally wouldn't be flustered by this round of shock.
However, the personnel responsible for the first time couldn't help but wipe their foreheads. After all, as newcomers, where had they ever encountered such a situation? Perhaps they had heard people talk about the terror of the Holy Grail War, but they didn't expect it to be this terrifying. This was on a completely different level from their usual exorcisms and spirit removals. What did those existences they once encountered, which could be called devils and wraiths, count for?
They thanked the Holy Grail War for opening their eyes. In the future, even if they encountered a haunted house, they wouldn't be afraid. Haunted houses versus facing the impact of Heroic Spirits directly—scary? No, how is that possible!
Meanwhile, many spectating magi began to think about the possibility of illegally summoning Heroic Spirits. After all, having such a powerful familiar, whether for protecting oneself or participating in the Holy Grail War in the future, deepening one's understanding of Heroic Spirits was a good thing. Moreover, the Three Families of this world had basically headed toward their end...
There were rumors that the homunculus family in Germany had all gone into slumber. Leaving aside the two families in the Far East for now, perhaps they could try to enter that forest through trading websites known only to magi or by finding friends. If they could find even a bit of data regarding Heroic Spirit summoning, they could try to modify it and see if they could summon new Heroic Spirits.
Of course, most magi right now were not that clear about the summoning method of Heroic Spirits, nor were they aware that there existed a Ruler among Heroic Spirits. If they summoned Heroic Spirits wantonly like this, a Ruler might appear to resolve everything. Of course, it was also possible that in the future, it would develop into a world line where everyone could summon Heroic Spirits.
Turning the gaze back to the Holy Grail, the power generated when the two Holy Lances fell gradually dissipated. A huge crater appeared in front of everyone, filled with fragments of Demon God Pillars. However, that bizarre power brought by the Demon God had not disappeared just like that, which meant... the Demon God still existed here.
In the sky, the Supreme Masterpiece locked onto the location of the Demon God once again through the magical energy analyzer. Subsequently, an attack fell from the sky.
