Chapter 115: A Realm of Vibrant Life and Spirited Competition

"This truly is a realm of vibrant life and spirited competition."

Bai Luo glanced toward the Snow Empress, who had drifted down beside him. Her current form resembled a spirit or goddess emerging from ice and snow—ethereal and divine, inspiring not the faintest hint of irreverence.

"Isn't that phrase... a bit unlucky?"

To better understand Bai Luo, the Snow Empress had learned a great deal about Blue Star from him.

"Haha."

Bai Luo laughed, completely unconcerned by the meme. "In short, the advantage is mine!"

"..."

The Snow Empress was speechless. "Go on then, keep planting flags."

However, she had to admit it.

In the battle against the King of Conquerors, Bai Luo's side truly held a massive advantage.

The strength of the Eighteen Wolf Guard exceeded that of an average A-rank Heroic Spirit, second only to Shuna and Shion.

The leader, Xingya, was scarcely weaker than the Ice Empress, making him one of the two main forces in this great war.

Under his leadership, eighteen A-rank peak Heroic Spirits, along with a pack of wolves of varying forms comparable to B~B+ rank Heroic Spirits, occupied their respective positions, completely encircling the King of Conquerors' army.

"Preparations are complete. We await your command."

Seeing this, the Ice Empress set aside her usual frantic energy and respectfully awaited Bai Luo's instructions.

"Begin the attack."

Bai Luo stood far in the rear, issuing the command in a calm tone.

"Roar~~~"

The Wolf Guard of the eighteen clans closed in from all directions.

"All troops, advance!!!"

The five-thousand-strong army of Hobgoblins, led by Rigurd and his two sons, pushed forward.

The Kijin split into two groups.

One remained to protect Bai Luo, while the other hundred, led by Shion, charged at the forefront.

"My Lord?!!"

A massive, ice-blue wolf beast peered down from above Bai Luo's head, but the voice that emerged was that of a young girl.

"The wolf clan doesn't need to worry about formations. Charge straight through."

The Ice Empress listened to the command from Violet and relayed her orders.

The speed of the wolf clan far exceeded that of the Goblins and Kijin.

Furthermore, their immense size was perfect for disrupting the enemy's formation.

"It's finally our turn!"

"That army over there belongs to my Flame Clan! No one better try to take them from me!"

"This side is mine!"

"Hahaha, charge! Kill them all!"

"Roar!!!"

The first to strike was Bingya, riding a giant frost wolf.

This ice wolf stood a hundred meters tall, formed from the combined power of dozens of ice-attribute wolves. Its strength, aside from its regenerative ability, was in no way inferior to the Great Sea Demon.

"Mages, prepare!"

"Form the barrier!"

However, the giant wolf's charge failed to break through the King of Conquerors' army formation. A thousand meters out, it was stopped by an invisible barrier of magical power.

"Hm?"

Bingya frowned and looked down to see a group of mages in hooded robes, led by an old man, casting a defensive spell.

And it wasn't just the front—all four sides were enveloped in a magical barrier.

This forced the charging wolf clan to halt and search for an opening.

"Damn you!"

The young woman swung her ice halberd, and a terrifying beam of freezing light blasted forward like a storm. "Get out of my way, you old fossil!"

"How dare you act so presumptuously!"

The old man clutched an ancient tome, his expression solemn as he stared intently at Bingya and the giant frost wolf that was continuously crashing against the barrier.

Porus, the king of the Punjab region in ancient India, was defeated by Alexander at the Battle of the Hydaspes River.

Because Alexander admired his courage on the battlefield, he appointed Porus as the local governor, responsible for managing the southeastern territories.

Within the Ionian Hetairoi, Porus was a supreme expert who held the title of Great Lord.

His knowledge of magecraft was rivaled only by the other "Savior," Ptolemy.

"Crack!"

"Hm?"

Porus's brow furrowed. The barrier he and hundreds of mages had cast together was actually starting to shatter.

"Hmph."

However, Porus didn't panic. Instead, he taunted, "On the battlefield, focusing too much on one thing will only put you in peril."

"What?"

Before Bingya could ask what Porus meant, a deafening clap of thunder boomed from above.

"Moo~~~"

The Flying-Hoofed Thunder Bulls, pulling the Gordian Wheel, descended from the sky with the force of wind and lightning. Their target was none other than Bingya, who stood at the highest point, and the giant frost wolf beneath her feet.

"Heh, you think you're the only one with backup?"

"Boom!"

Golden lightning and blue-purple thunder clashed in the air, tearing at each other, contending like two terrifying thunder beasts vying for supremacy of the sky.

For a moment, heaven and earth flashed, and the world hummed, drawing everyone's eyes toward the two clashing forces.

"Swoosh!"

"You're too fast, Bingya."

A formidable golden-furred werewolf suddenly appeared beside Bingya. He stood with his arms crossed, countless golden arcs of electricity dancing around his body. "Leave the battle in the sky to the professionals."

"Right now, join me and shatter this turtle shell!"

"Alright!"

As Bingya's voice fell, Leiya stomped down.

Instantly, a massive amount of lightning flowed from his foot into the giant frost wolf's body, transforming its original ice-blue color to gold.

"Roar~~"

Lightning and frost mixed, forming a beam of light even more terrifying than before. It spewed from the golden wolf's mouth and slammed into the defensive spell cast by Porus.

"We can't let that attack land!"

The King of Conquerors saw the terrifying power of the strike. He raised his Noble Phantasm, Via Expugnatio, high. "Stop it!"

"Moo!!"

Infused with their master's magical power, the Flying-Hoofed Thunder Bulls' strength surged.

The thunderstorm, which had previously been confined to a small area, began to spread in all directions, showing signs of covering the entire battlefield.

"Hm?"

The situation was somewhat beyond Bai Luo's expectations. "Covering such a large area with magical power—with the King of Conquerors' reserves..."

"I see."

Suddenly, Bai Luo realized something.

He looked at Waver, who was beside the King of Conquerors. The red Command Spells on the back of his hand were gone.

"Is it the power of the Command Spells?"

"That kid, just like in the original story, transferred all the magical power from his three Command Spells to the King of Conquerors before the battle began."

If that was the case, then the strength the King of Conquerors was now displaying, far exceeding what was shown in the anime, was no longer surprising.

In fact, if he hadn't run into Gilgamesh, who was his natural counter, the King of Conquerors would have been, without a doubt, the most troublesome Heroic Spirit in the Fourth Holy Grail War.
