The sight of Rin continuously unleashing Lights Execution upon landing on the battlefield immediately drew massive attention from both sides.
Allied morale surged, and seeing Rin slaughtering enemies in the center of the battlefield, cheers erupted, hailing Rin as a Valkyrie, making their spirits even higher.
Upon witnessing Rin's wanton slaughter, the Dead Apostles instinctively retreated from her attack range, leaving only the mindless Ghouls still launching attacks against Rin.
However, how could mere Ghouls harm a single hair on Rin? This was merely a desperate measure by the Dead Apostles to cope with the Black-Winged Duke, sending endless cannon fodder to attack so the Black-Winged Duke would know they weren't slacking, but rather the enemy was too powerful.
Mordred, who was currently wantonly unleashing her Noble Phantasm, also saw Rin's performance of slaughtering enemies on the battlefield. Already having no goodwill toward Rin, upon hearing the cheers and compliments directed at Rin, she immediately frowned and charged toward the center of the battlefield where Rin was located, feeling displeased.
Litz, seeing Mordred charge toward the center of the battlefield, watched Mordred's retreating figure anxiously, silently applying her personal skill, 'Journey of Flowers', to Mordred.
Mordred, energized by Litz's 'Journey of Flowers' buff, felt her magical power and recovery slightly increase. She grinned, swept her sword across the surrounding Dead Apostles and Ghouls, turned around to give a thumbs-up to Litz, who was bravely fighting, and then resolutely charged toward the center of the battlefield again.
The Black-Winged Duke, who had been observing the battlefield from the distant forest, also noticed Rin slaughtering enemies. The Black-Winged Duke, who was about to step forward to deal with Rin himself, suddenly recalled Rin's punch and immediately changed his mind.
Although being knocked out by Rin's punch at the time was a coincidence born from the Black-Winged Duke's own carelessness and underestimation of Rin, this also indirectly reflected how strong Rin's combat power was.
Just as Rin was continuously using Lights Execution in various ways on the battlefield, a dozen Elite Dead Apostles, having received the Black-Winged Duke's command, silently moved through the shadows, exploiting Rin's blind spots, and approached her vicinity.
Just as these Dead Apostle Elites were preparing to swarm Rin and tear her limb from limb, a cunning smile appeared on Rin's lips. She simultaneously extended her left hand and instantly aimed it at the shadows where the Elite Dead Apostles were hiding.
Then, dozens of Aether Threads that Rin had already prepared shot out from her hand, accurately piercing the shadows and entering the brains of the group of Dead Apostles.
The dozen or so Elite Dead Apostles emerged from the shadows, clutching their heads in pain and kneeling on the ground, wailing.
Seeing that these Elite Dead Apostles possessed a certain degree of resistance to Aether Threads manipulation, Rin then swung several Flame Swords at the dozen Dead Apostles.
A fierce explosion occurred when the Flame Swords contacted the wailing Dead Apostles, and the intense flames immediately engulfed the Dead Apostles in fire.
However, something unexpected happened to Rin: the Dead Apostles hit by the Flame Swords not only failed to be controlled by the Aether Threads due to the excruciating burning pain, but they actually used that intense pain to successfully break free from the Aether Threads and launched an attack on Rin.
Rin calmly dodged the siege of the Elite Dead Apostles, while simultaneously pouting, seeming very dissatisfied with her failure to perform flawlessly again.
Although Rin remained composed while being surrounded by a dozen Elite Dead Apostles, the cessation of her spellcasting allowed the endless Ghoul army to quickly fill the vacuum she had created.
Seeing that the gap was filled and allied pressure increased significantly, Rin stopped worrying about details. With a flash of Reinforcement Magic light on her body, she unleashed her skilled Eight Extremities Fist and rapidly engaged the Elite Dead Apostles.
Rin's Eight Extremities Fist technique might only be considered average among martial artists, but under the terrifying boost of Reinforcement Magic, her attributes had far exceeded imagination.
Consequently, the group of Elite Dead Apostles, who had been entangled with Rin using their flexible movements and close combat abilities, were quickly crushed by Rin's attribute dominance, much like a 'main account' fighting a'sub account' in an online game, and were defeated in a short time.
Rin summoned a ball of clean water using Magic in her hand, casually washing off the blood and debris clinging to her body, and then set the unrecognizable Dead Apostle 'corpses' on fire, burning them to ashes.
She then looked at the endless Ghouls surrounding her, leaped up, and flew toward the front lines.
Mordred, who had charged into the center of the battlefield, looked up at Rin rapidly flying overhead, irritably scratched her head, and gloomily chased Rin's retreating figure toward the front lines.
After all, if it were only Ghouls, it would be fine, but the battlefield contained not only Ghouls but also numerous Dead Apostles. If Mordred, despite being a Servant, were to be entangled deep within the battlefield under continuous attacks from all directions, she would likely perish then and there.
Mordred might be reckless, but she wasn't stupid. She knew it would be difficult to persevere in such a place without Rin's cover.
Rin, arriving at the front line, immediately landed in front of Ciel, who was engaged in a fierce battle, and asked.
"Who is the highest leader of your Church right now?"
Ciel heard Rin's question, wiped the blood from her face, and pointed to Litz nearby.
"It should be Litz!"
Rin kicked away an incoming Ghoul and then shouted to Litz.
"In other words, you can be considered the Pope of the Christian Church now, right?"
Litz, who was fighting a Dead Apostle, was startled by Rin's question and almost had her throat ripped out by the Dead Apostle. Fortunately, years of instinct fighting Dead Apostles allowed Litz to narrowly dodge the attack.
After Litz punched the Dead Apostle back, she stepped toward Rin and said.
"I don't know, I am just the Captain of the Heresy Inquisition Knights. I shouldn't count as the Pope!"
"Then, have all those with higher positions than you died?"
Litz's expression darkened as she recalled her comrades who had fallen in battle, and she nodded to Rin. Although she didn't know why Rin was asking this, seeing the look on Rin's face, Litz still gave her an answer.
"Alright then, I need your authorization to allow me to use 'Fish of the Dinner'!"
"Fish of the Dinner? Never mind, I don't care what it is, as long as I authorize it, right! I authorize Rin Tohsaka to use Fish of the Dinner!"
"OK! Thanks!"
Having received Litz's permission, Rin casually threw down a bright red ruby, which transformed into the Innocentius as a reward for Litz, and then she leaped up and rushed towards the Millennium Castle.
Rin landed on the wall of the Millennium Castle, waved her hand to dismiss the nearby Magi who approached to ask questions, and stood on the wall, beginning to cast the spell she had just thought of.
Fish of the Dinner is a 'Magic' used by Agnese Sanctis in a certain magical index when pursuing Othinus and Kamijou Touma in Denmark; it is a Magic that amplifies ordinary spells by two billion times.
However, Fish of the Dinner has several complex activation conditions: First, a lifting command personally issued by the Pope of Rome; second, the collective hatred of two billion Believers.
In the original work of a certain magical index, Agnese's entire squad used the Legend of Thunder and Divine Punishment as their attack. This spell has a very simple structure, a spell that anyone familiar with the Christian Church could cast, and they used it to attack Kamijou Touma.
But after being amplified two billion times, its power was astonishing. Not only was Kamijou Touma's 'Imagine Breaker' unable to eliminate it, but it also caused his arm to be dislocated.
Of course, only about 100,000 humans survived in this Singularity, even counting those frozen within the Millennium Castle. However, Rin didn't need an amplification of two billion times; after all, compared to Agnese, Rin was worlds apart from her. Rin now only hoped that among the surviving humans, there would be a few hundred Christian Church Believers, which would satisfy her requirement.
