She gripped the [Myriad Talismans Will Break the Rules] tightly in both hands. It was not intended to be used as a treasure, but rather as a ritual implement for incantations, in order to respond to the principles of heaven and earth.
She began chanting complex and ancient incantations, and magic surged into her body like a tidal wave. The air was thick with magical energy, and the surrounding space seemed to tremble slightly in the face of this powerful force.
The magic circle extended from beneath her feet, linking to other complex magic circles within Ryudong Temple.
The pathways have been connected, and the magic has begun to resonate. At this moment, Ryudou Temple has become a unified magical machine, with the magic arrays scattered throughout acting like gears, operating at full power.
These magic arrays each have their own function, and magic power is transmitted through these arrays to form a huge, unified system.
Meanwhile, Lancer's Noble Phantasm was ready.
At this critical moment, the magic power within Ryudouji Temple operated at its limit like a machine overclocking, and the light flashing in the magic circle became increasingly intense. The second layer of the barrier was repaired and met Lancer's attack.
However, even such a strong defense proved vulnerable to this attack.
The core of the barrier was pierced, bursting out with dazzling light. The pristine lake light, like a destructive force that annihilates everything, instantly destroyed the barrier completely.
But Caster's methods were already prepared...

【——Zerstorung durch den dunklen Blitz des Himmels——Destruction by Dark Thunder——】
Magic gathered at the tip of the sword, which served as a ritual artifact called "All Symbols Will Break the Rules," and shimmered with a dazzling light in the darkness.
As the airflow stretched by the magic hissed, the magic repeatedly rubbed and squeezed against the air, generating random electrical charges.
The accompanying electric current coiled around it like chains, forcibly binding the gathered magic power to Caster's chest.
Her incantation was still incomplete; even with the blessing of [High-Speed Divine Words], this complex and massive spell still required time to complete.
Her voice echoed in the night sky, each incantation incredibly obscure and difficult to understand, seemingly carrying an irresistible power.
The swirling air drew Matou Ike and Caster closer to the unstable magical core.
Intense magical energy filled the air, and arcs of electricity leaped around the [All-Encompassing Mantra Breaking the Rules], like a hungry beast waiting to tear apart any creature that approached.
Do not touch.
Even the slightest contact will result in complete shredding by the arcs of electricity attached to it.
His skin trembled slightly, and his spiritual intuition warned Matou Ike: that was something dangerous, get away quickly.
But Caster ignored what was in front of her and continued to chant softly.
【——Vom himmlischen Zorn gezeichnet——Heavenly Might Engraving——】
The electric arcs coiling around Caster suddenly expanded, writhing wildly in the courtyard of Ryudouji Temple like a giant silver python, the rampaging magic causing intense electromagnetic fluctuations.
In that instant, the entire interior and exterior of Ryudong Temple were illuminated by a dazzling light, as if countless bolts of lightning were intertwining in the sky.
Kiritsugu Emiya's monitoring equipment at the foot of the mountain suddenly exploded, sending sparks flying everywhere, and his electronic devices instantly lost signal.
The familiar used for surveillance also perished on the spot when the electronic eye attached to its body exploded.
"Damn it!" Kiritsugu cursed under his breath, quickly checking the remaining equipment at hand and re-releasing his familiars.
At the same time, electrical appliances throughout Fuyuki City were affected to varying degrees.
The television screen suddenly flickered, the radio emitted a piercing static, household appliances inexplicably shut down and restarted, streetlights flickered erratically, and car alarms went off for no reason. Residents stared in astonishment at all of this, completely bewildered as to what was happening.
The once clear night sky was suddenly shrouded in dark clouds. Thick clouds quickly gathered, obscuring the moonlight, and the entire night suddenly felt oppressive and gloomy.
Inside the meteorological agency, employees who were still working overtime were being scolded by their superiors.
A series of questions followed, all saying—how could you not even predict the weather properly? This is a major mistake by the Meteorological Agency, get the weather right now!
Faced with their boss's unreasonable demands, the employees working overtime suppressed their anger and explained again and again: "This is not something we can control; the weather is indeed sometimes hard to predict."
Nevertheless, they were filled with doubt and unease.
"What on earth is going on?" an employee muttered to himself, looking out the office window at the sky.
At the same time, above Ryudong Temple, the interplay of magical fluctuations and the power of heaven and earth caused drastic changes in the weather of the entire region.
Flashes of electricity weaved through the clouds, accompanied by rumbling thunder, as if an unseen force was controlling everything.
At this moment, all the Masters and Servants realized that something was wrong; it seemed that Lancer's attack would not easily secure victory.
Iskandar, situated atop the highest peak of Mount Enzo, seemed puzzled, muttering to himself:
"How come it smells like Zeus?"
"Ah, what did you say?" Waver Velvet asked curiously, after all, the burly servant beside him had never spoken so softly before.
But what awaited him was a slap on the head.
"Kid, keep reciting the poem for me. Don't think about anything else. The battle is only just getting exciting."
At that very moment, a blazing bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting the forests of Mount Enzo.
In an instant, the silvery light was as bright as day, illuminating all the villains hiding in Yuanzang Mountain.
The power of lightning raged across the land, turning trees to charcoal, shattering rocks, and leaving deep scorch marks on the ground.
The raging fire burned fiercely at the spot where the lightning had struck, the flames soaring into the sky and the heatwave rolling in, as if it would devour the entire mountain forest.
The moment the protective barrier on the last level of Ryudouji Temple was completely shattered by Lancer's Noble Phantasm attack, the entire barrier seemed to be torn apart by a tremendous force, emitting a deafening roar.
Lancer's spear continued to accelerate, its light still blazing, as if breaking through the barrier hadn't diminished much of the power of the Undying Lake Light.
The surrounding air was distorted by the high-density magical fluctuations. The aftershocks of the explosion had not yet completely dissipated, but the power fluctuations on the spear were still rising further.
Seeing the meteor hurtling towards him, Caster raised the [All-Powerful Symbols Breaking the Rules] and thrust it at the magic core that was bound by the electric arc.
It seemed she wanted to cancel this seemingly out-of-control magic trick; no, she was severing the shackles, cutting off the magical current that sealed the object.
The moment the [Myriad Talismans Will Break the Rules] intersected with it, a thick beam of lightning burst forth from the tip of the sword.
That was thunder that could destroy everything; it was something that brought ruin.
The electrical charge in the courtyard dissipated, and the malfunctioning instruments in Fuyuki City were restored.
But all of this is built upon that giant magic light cannon capable of leveling everything.
Is it possible to achieve the effect of an "anti-city Noble Phantasm" simply through magic? Is this the power of a spell that can be created after giving the magicians of the Age of Gods time to prepare?
Seeing the destructive arc of light closing in on him, Lancer did not change his strategy of attacking head-on to dodge it.
Instead, it burst into wild laughter, and the Dragon Heart pulsed even more violently: Synchronize! Synchronize! Overclock! Overclock!
"Master, what do you think?"
Throughout this offensive, Kenneth never severed his connection with his Servants, and now he was facing the pressure of that celestial light, his magical circuits wailing at him.
"Lancer, I command you with a single Command Spell: Destroy it!"
"receive."
With a second burst of magic and even higher fighting spirit, her dazzling crimson eyes shone with a captivating brilliance.
At the same time, dragon roars suddenly emanated from Albion's tomb, prompting the magician guarding the tomb to quickly raise the highest alarm.
Lancer's response was: Charge! Destroy everything in his way.
The spear tip made contact with the light cannon, affecting the entire flow of magic in Japan.
The crimson lightning clashed with the dark blue demonic spear.
At this moment, it was no longer simply a battle within the Holy Grail War; it was entirely a contest between two Heroic Spirits, and they seemed unconcerned about the consequences.
They only want to compete with each other, to compare their performance, just to see who is better.
The beam of light shot straight into the sky, scattering the dense dark clouds, while the accompanying lightning pulled them back together.
Rain fell from the deep sky, extinguishing the raging fire in the mountains and forests.

The magical energy impact generated by the contact of the two 'extremes' leveled up the distortion of space itself one by one.
The immense energy clashed within the gaps created by their attacks.
At the heart of the battle, the surging energy was like a raging storm.
Despite being at the heart of this upheaval, Lancer continued to laugh wildly, not out of composure or ease.
On the contrary, if she relaxed even slightly, this body, which was created using the Holy Grail ritual and her spiritual origin, would be destroyed. She understood this deeply.
But these issues were just minor details to her.
Death is nothing but a game. After 14,000 years of silence, what we are doing today is just stretching our muscles.
"Have fun! Have fun!"
Her magic continued to surge forth, and the contest of power seemed to transport her back to the age of gods.
Although limited by the strength of her Spirit Origin and unable to act recklessly, she had already thoroughly enjoyed the battle.
If Kenneth, as her Master, knew what she was thinking, he probably wouldn't have used that Command Seal to boost her combat power, but rather for evacuation and relocation.
After all, this was just a test, and it was far from the time for the final battle.
The situation has escalated to this point entirely because of the reckless actions of this heroic spirit.
The air inside and outside Ryudong Temple was almost torn apart, and deafening roars rang out continuously. The two forces were locked in a fierce battle, as if the whole world was teetering on the brink of collapse under the fighting of these two heroic spirits.
The magic released by the two heroic spirits clashed like two armies fighting each other at the heart of the battlefield, constantly colliding, engulfing, and dissipating.
The clash between magic and Noble Phantasm gradually dissipated around the two of them.
However, the electrical charge and wind pressure caused by the magical turbulence remaining in Ryudong Temple are also beyond what the human body can withstand.
As the smoke from the battle at Ryudong Temple gradually dissipated, the true forms of the two heroic spirits were revealed.
Caster's hood had been blown down, her long, glazed blue hair dancing in the wind. Her lake-blue eyes were narrowed as she stared intently at the Servant who had broken through the defenses and entered the interior of Ryudouji Temple.
Lancer, on the other hand, was floating in mid-air.
She held a spear in her hand, her figure was petite yet dignified, her flowing white hair cascaded down her back, and her eyes were a deep, bright, whitish-white color.
She looked down and scanned the Liudong Temple, only to find that Caster was the only one in front of her.
"I just saw her Master nearby, but she managed to slip away during the clash. I was thinking of just taking care of him and finishing the job off happily."
