347 Same Goals, Same Enemy

Provoking Kama to abandon her flame of destruction was a part of his plan.

The flame entwining Kama's body was the manifestation of the destructive power of Shiva, one of the three major gods of Indian mythology, and it was also a crucial factor that led to Kama becoming a Beast.

Due to Shiva possessing power capable of incinerating the universe itself, the unfathomable power that his third eye possessed burned her concept and flesh, turning her very existence into something vague and hazy.

Since Shiva was meant to incinerate the universe and later he incinerated Kama with his power, Kama herself could now be considered the universe. It was for this reason that she and the universe were fundamentally linked on a conceptual level, with remnants of Shiva's flame of destruction still lingering on her.

Moreover, the power of this flame rivaled that of an EX Anti-Army Noble Phantasm, and it was not subject to any restrictions.

Unfortunately, with Abyss Flower's power of creation already exhausted in resisting the backlash of the Might of An-Utu, he had no way to confront Kama at all in such circumstances.

However, the good thing was that Kama was also unwilling to wield that power. After all, anyone fighting with the weapon that was originally meant to kill them would feel somewhat uncomfortable. Thus, with just a few words of provocation from him, she readily gave up using the flame of destruction.

The first phase of the plan was completed.

Now it was time for the second phase.

With a thought, Arkhan used the power of Fenghuang Down.

Suddenly, Celenike, who had been teleported by him using Cosmic Juggernaut to a small unknown forest several miles away, opened her eyes, startling a few wild wolves that were quietly approaching.

Celenike's eyes were lifeless as she mechanically raised her arm and spoke in a calm tone without any fluctuations.

"By this command spell, Rider, achieve victory."

"By this command spell, Rider, achieve victory."

A crimson light flashed, and the last two marks of command spells on the back of her right hand disappeared completely. Afterward, Celenike's head tilted to the side and lay back on the soft ground once again.

As for the wild wolves from earlier, they had long fled in fear at the sudden burst of red light.

Sensing the sudden surge of magical energy emanating from Arkhan's body, Kama narrowed her eyes slightly and sneered.

"Hmph, command spells, huh... But at this point, what difference can a few command spells make?"

"Don't bluff there, Kama."

Feeling the magical energy replenishing within him once again, Arkhan clenched his fist and shot Kama a slightly mocking smile.

"Just as you said, it's already at this point. What else is there left to hide?"

Hearing his words, Kama's face darkened slightly.

"It seems you were waiting for me to expose you, huh? Well then, I won't hold back."

Arkhan continued in a calm tone, eager to continue delaying time with her.

"Kama, you've known from the start that once your identity as 'Beast' is revealed, you'll be targeted from all sides. Neither the Black Faction nor the Red Faction, nor Ruler, would spare you. That's why you concealed your true identity and joined the Red Faction, hoping to take advantage of the chaos."

"Including infiltrating Fortress of Millennia, besides turning Caster of Black against us, your other goal was to destroy the cultivation chamber, cutting off our magical energy supply. Following this, you switch opponents with Karna, letting him fight me. No matter who wins in this fight, there will be a significant price to pay."

"With the strongest Servants from both factions, aside from me and the already weakened Heracles, both Ozymandias and Karna are out of the picture. The rest of the Servants? Mostly wiped. You must've felt the threat easing up, so you decided to show your true self now, huh?"

Watching Kama's increasingly unpleasant expression, Arkhan chuckled lightly.

"So I say, you're just bluffing. You're worried, you're afraid, you're terrified, so you're trying every possible way to ensure your victory. The mighty Beast III, afraid to show herself because of a few Servants, then jumps out at a time like this claiming to be a superior and mighty god. Don't you think you look like—"

"A clown jumping around like a fool?"

"SHUT UP!"

With a furious shout from Kama, she raised her hand and several energy spheres, resembling black holes, gathered together, emanating magical energy fluctuations not inferior to A-rank Noble Phantasms, whizzing toward Arkhan mercilessly.

Seeing this attack, Arkhan's gaze hardened as he swiftly raised his hand, writing several primordial runes in the air and turning them into deep green energy beams.

*BOOM!*

The black energy spheres collided with them, causing a surge of black smoke.

"Let me remind you of one thing..." Arkhan's calm voice reached Kama's ears through the smoke. "Even if our manpower is lacking, true heroes don't flee from the battlefield."

"This is the evil sword that destroyed my father—Clarent Blood Arthur!"

Crimson thunder tore through the heavens and earth, radiating hatred and anger, converging into a calamitous crimson sword radiance, slashing down with force to annihilate mountains and seas!

Meanwhile, high above in the sky, black flames wrapped in scorching heat capable of incinerating mountains and boiling seas, along with the annihilating power of death, roared down.

Several EX-rank magical beams, resembling towering pillars, also descended, accompanied by crimson sword radiance, all roaring toward Kama!

At this moment, whether it was Mordred, Nidhogg, or Semiramis, they all abandoned their previous statuses, grievances, and disputes, standing on the same side for the sake of the goals they each wanted to protect.

Facing the ultimate calamity, which was their common enemy, they launched their attack together!

*BOOOOOOOM—!!!*

In an instant, as if heaven's thunder stirred the earth and a beam of light resembling divine punishment shot down, the deafening roar of the earth's shaking, akin to mountains crumbling and the ground splitting apart, reverberated through the sky.

Everyone's ears were momentarily deafened by this tremendous sound, leaving them momentarily stunned.

*Whoosh—*

Under the starry night sky, from the center of the collision, magical energy ripples surged out like tornado storms, sweeping through the sky, and shaking up large clouds of smoke.

Countless colors of magical energy particles flickered within, outlining numerous dreamlike scenes like auroras.

No one on the battlefield paid attention to this rare and magnificent sight. All eyes were fixed on the depths of the smoke, nervous, uneasy, and expectant.

The only thing that could stir their hearts at this moment was the condition of the Beast!
