[Burning]: IT'S BURNING! THE HYPE IS REAL!

[Astolfo]: Go Astolfo! Let them see your legendary spear!

[Lily]: Lily, hit them with a Noble Phantasm combo!

[Slacking]: Don't slack, Max! Borrow another Command Seal and transform!

[Medea]: Thankfully we have Medea carrying the team!

[Shocking]: Such a massive dragon body feels like monsters from legends!

[LoveIt]: I love Medea's unwilling expression! She still has to help her rival charge up!

[Ship]: You can TOTALLY ship Medea and Shuten-douji!

[Devious]: Kenneth is underground where Vritra sits on a water outlet! We have to move Vritra AND block water flow!

[Trust]: Trust Maverick and the team!

The streaming chat flowed endlessly.

As battle resumed, Maverick—positioned next to Medea by Chen Ge—raised his right hand.

"Use this Command Seal to charge her up! Artoria, block these attacks!"

Brilliant scarlet light flickered.

On the ground, facing Vritra's tail whip, Lily held her breath and concentrated.

Silver-white battle aura released outward. Surging magical power wrapped around Lily's firm body, blooming like a lily flower.

"HA!"

With Lily's shout, the massive greatsword 'Caliburn' manifested.

Feeling the young knight's willpower, Vritra laughed excitedly:

"Very GOOD! To overcome my trial, even a Heroic Spirit can break through limitations! Let me see how far you can GROW!"

"SHUT UP!" Lily's voice rang with fury. "A 'trial' should be given WITH CONSENT, not cruel like YOUR actions! Look at this land! How many innocent people have DIED?!"

"Survival of the fittest—nature's law! They died because they couldn't progress!"

"I will NEVER accept such twisted logic!" Astolfo joined in. "Noble Phantasm! [Trap of Argalia]!"

Astolfo is an airhead, his optimism and evaporated rationality making him act on impulse.

But a Paladin's honor made it impossible to agree with Vritra's philosophy!

Looking at Vritra's dismissive expression, Astolfo's face showed rare genuine anger.

He squeezed his hippogriff's back, releasing altitude.

The golden lance in Astolfo's hands shone with brilliant light!

Facing this charge, Vritra showed only excitement.

But suddenly, indescribable weightlessness made Vritra's face display shock.

Before the dragon could react, her massive body slammed heavily onto the ground.

Astolfo is naive to the point of foolishness.

But precisely because of this, he acquired many legendary treasures during adventures.

And gave them away without hesitation.

[Trap of Argalia] is this golden lance's true name.

Its original owner was knight Argalia.

Its lethality is low, but it possesses unique ability to forcibly make opponents "tumble."

No matter which body part is touched—even wearing magic-resistant armor—they will fall.

Argalia relied on this spear to defeat every knight in jousting competitions.

However, in one competition, a fallen knight didn't surrender honorably.

Instead, he drew his sword, causing chaos.

In that brawl, Astolfo—whose spear had broken—took Argalia's fallen spear, saying "Oh, there's a spear here!"

In classic "I thought nobody wanted it" fashion, he borrowed it permanently.

But Astolfo didn't understand the spear's power. After winning battles, he thought: "Did my sealed power awaken?"

Much like his hippogriff, if the spear could talk, it would complain fiercely.

However, even knowing the truth wouldn't change results.

When female knight Bradamante needed a spear, Astolfo gave away this invaluable legendary weapon without regret.

It's precisely this generous nature that gives Astolfo the most Noble Phantasms among Servants, excluding outliers like Gilgamesh.

Anything he's owned can manifest.

But whether Astolfo remembers owning them? Another matter entirely.

Under 'Trap of Argalia's' effect, even powerful Vritra was irresistibly knocked over sideways.

This vacated spot gave Shuten-douji perfect opportunity.

As her greatsword plunged into earth, sake scent permeated outward, spreading poison.

But as poisoned alcohol spread, Shuten-douji's expression changed dramatically. She shouted through team communication:

"No! I can't feel anything! My poisoned sake isn't corroding a Master! There's NO Master in the earth! The target might be hiding in other parts of Vritra's body! Not the tail... maybe inside brain cavity or bone marrow..."

"WHAT?!" The team chorused in shock.

This news dealt a major psychological blow.

Except Max, who maintained his pensive expression—

The rest experienced: one burst of energy, then decline, then exhaustion.

Though still performing duties, fighting spirit had diminished.

Sure enough, with Vritra's 'Earth Dragon Barrel Roll', earth's lament resounded.

Countless rocks, debris, and shockwaves spread wildly outward.

Astolfo was dodging frantically for his life, giving Chen Ge's stream an immersive disaster movie experience.

Shuten-douji and Lily on ground attacked Vritra's back while dodging flying debris.

But without beam Noble Phantasms like Excalibur, their melee attacks couldn't carve through completely.

Seeing this, Maverick felt extremely anxious, wishing he could sprint to Max and give his last Command Seal.

However, just as the situation turned worse—

Just as Arash hesitated whether to unleash his final arrow with ultimate suicide Noble Phantasm Stella—

Berserker, the golden-haired warrior, descended dramatically from the sky, carrying two huge weapons.

And slammed them with devastating force onto Vritra's body.

"You really ARE a massive dragon! But your days of wreaking havoc end RIGHT NOW—because the finishing move has ARRIVED!"

[FinishingMove]: THE FINISHING MOVE!

[Beowulf]: BEOWULF IS HERE!

[Dragon]: SLAY THE DRAGON!

The tide was turning.
