The Beast III

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

I and the others looked shocked at the Tiamat change. I knew Tiamat's final form from my previous life, but seeing the real thing is something that I didn't want to experience a second time. The reason is that the real thing is much more terrifying than the game.

Suddenly without warning, Tiamat shot an energy beam in our direction. I and the other were able to dodge it, so the beam hit the barrier.

*Boom*

I then hear an explosion from my back and see that the barrier is cracked by that attack alone. This is bad, and if Tiamat escapes this barrier, then the underworld is doomed. Luckily the barrier is back to its original state because Ajuka is the one maintaining the barrier, but I don't know how long he can keep the barrier.

"We need to defeat Tiamat somehow or at least destroy the grail inside her head, but even though we destroy it, I don't know how that will help us."

"And how that Grail didn't get destroyed in the first place? With Amaterasu-Dono power, it should be able to destroy it."

"I don't know, but I have a suspicion that Tiamat can protect it before an Amaterasu attack can destroy the grail."

I keep thinking about the way to defeat Tiamat. In the original game, the one that makes Tiamat killable is King Hassan or known as Old man of the mountain. King Hassan, the first Hassan, and Last Hassan, Then Grand Servant and the personification of Death itself. In the game, King Hassan can give Tiamat the concept of Death with his sword, which is a bullshit power, in my opinion. The only way I can think of is to destroy Tiamat with something like EA or a power that has a concept of Destruction… SIRZECHS.

"Sirzechs!!!"

"What is it?"

Sirzechs answer my call while killing Lahmu that tries to approach us.

"Sirzechs, I need you to destroy Tiamat head using your power of destruction."

"Are you sure this will work?"

"Yes and no. Yes, while Tiamat doesn't have a concept of Death since birth, it doesn't mean that the concept of Destruction can't destroy her. No, because I don't know if it will be enough to 'kill' her"

"... Very well"

"Thank you. We will protect you while you gather all the power of Destruction you can get and use it against Tiamat."

We then began to move slowly toward Tiamat. Seeing me and the other slowly approaching their mother, Lahmu began to fly toward us at high speed and try to kill us before we could reach Tiamat.

"Blazing flame of the Purple Dragon."

Seeing Lahmu come near us, I then activated the new sacred gear that I got from the Bible faction. This is my sub-species Balance Breaker. It is almost the same as the Walburga version of Sub-species Balance Breaker. The difference is I don't need to feed it a soul for it to take a form, but I feed it with Craft Essence. I feed my Sacred Gear with a Craft Essence named Dragonkind, which is the reason why my flame formed a giant western dragon.

I look at my Dragon devouring the Lahmu with ease. The reason why I don't use my Balance Breaker earlier is that it takes a quarter of my full mana immediately. A quarter of my mana is like a High-Level High-Class devil full reserve of Demonic energy, and with me bringing all my servants into the fight, I need to watch the use of my mana and save it for an emergency.

"Alright guys, when Sirzechs use his power of Destruction, I want you to destroy the Holy Grail. I don't care if you use your noble phantasm. I need to make sure that the Holy Grail is destroyed even though Sirzechs use his power."

"Understood"

When we arrive at 100 meters from Tiamat, hear Sirzechs says.

"I'm ready."

"Good. Try to destroy her head."

Sirzechs then flew at high speed toward Tiamat, and when he arrived on top of her, Sirzechs then opened his hand and created a massive magic circle.

"Die"

I then see coming from the magic circle is Sirzechs power of Destruction that he compressed into a laser beam. I look at the Tiamat upper body and get annihilated, but I didn't see the Holy Grail, but when Tiamat's middle body gets destroyed by Sirzechs power of Destruction, I see the Grail in there, so I immediately order my servant to attack.

"That is the Grail, Attack!"

All my servants then raised their weapons and activated their noble phantasm.

"Fly, Caladbolg"

"Destroy, Ochd Deug Odin"

"Kill, Gae Bolg"

"Cleave the Wicked, Caliburn"

"This is the Truth, Ascalon"

"▂▂▃▃▅▅----▂▂▃▃▅▅■■■■"

"RAGHHHHH"

Almost all my servants use their noble phantasm, and their target is the Grail.

*BOOM*

My servant's noble phantasm caused a massive explosion. As the explosion happens, I see a pillar of light that appears in the place of the Grail, indicating that the Holy Grail is no more. When I thought I could release a relief breath, I saw Tiamat regenerate her own body in a second and make her body whole once more.

"Are you kidding me?!?"

"LAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

Tiamat suddenly releases her mud, and from it comes out her Lahmu, and not only releases mud, but Tiamat also charges a laser beam and shoots it at us. We, of course, we're able to dodge it, but the Tiamat attack hit the Ajuka barrier and created another crack on the barrier. Still, I can see the barrier repairing itself, but this time it becomes much slower than before, which is worrying.

"I don't know how to defeat her guy. There is only one person who can make her killable."

"Who?"

"King Hassan"

"The Great Founder?!?"

"Yes, he was able to make her killable by giving her a concept of Death itself…

Before I can explain any further, Morrigan walks in front of us and says.

"Why you didn't say it from the beginning if giving Tiamat concept of Death, then I can do it."

"What?"

"Do you forget who I am?"

"You are Morrigan, the Goddess of War, Fate, and… Death"

"Yup, giving Tiamat a concept of Death is easy… Well, I will not say it was easy because I need to use my true form."

Morrigan then slowly flies above Tiamat and says in a loud voice as her clothes begin to change.

"With my Authority as Goddess of War, Fate, and Death. I shall grant you the sweet embrace of Death."

*Thump*

Morrigan appeared under Tiamat and thrust her spear at Tiamat.

"LAAAAAAAA"

Morrigan disappeared before Tiamat could attack Morrigan with her claw and appear above her and thrust the spear once more.

*Thump*

"LAAAAAAA"

Morrigan disappears from her previous position and appears right behind me. I look at her and see her clothes are changed from the black dress with hoodie now she has her low cut purple dress she wore in the beginning.

"Now, Tiamat has the concept of Death inside her. Look"

"LAAAAAAAAAA"

I look at Tiamat and see her has a crack-like a pattern on her body that shines in purple color.

"Now, I leave it to you guys."

Morrigan then went unconscious after saying it.

"Thank you, leave it to us."

I look at Tiamat and think about the way to kill her in a single blast. In the game, Gilgamesh uses EA to destroy Tiamat, but with the people in here, the only one that could destroy Tiamat's whole body is Sirzech with his true form and Artoria if she releases all her seal… Wait, that could work.

"We will retreat out of the barrier."

"WHAT?!?"

"Please hear me out. Artoria, you will stay here and activate your Noble Phantasm."

"... I see"

"Look like you know what I mean."

"Yes, With me stay behind and fight Tiamat one-on-one, it will fulfill the last seal condition."

"Yes, Can you do that."

"Of course, Master."

"Good, Then I leave it to you."

"Yes."

We then proceed to get out of the barrier by using Sirzechs communication spell with Ajuka. I then request Sirzechs to pump more mana into the barrier because of the fear of Artoria's noble phantasm destroying the current barrier. After doing so, I hear Artoria's voice coming from the barrier.

"Seal Thirteen──Decision start."

I then see a ghostly figure appear around Artoria. They are the Knight of the Round Table.

"The enemy must be more powerful than oneself. I Bedivere release my seal."

"The battle must be one-on-one. I Palamedes release my seal."

"The enemy must not be elemental. I Lancelot release my seal."

"The battle must be one against evil. I Mordred release my seal."

"The battle must not involve personal gain. I Galahad release my seal."

"The battle must not be against Humanity. I Gaheris release my seal."

"The battle must not be inhumane, I Gareth release my seal."

"The battle must be for truth. I Agravain release my seal."

"The battle must be to live. I Kay release my seal."

"One's comrades-in-arms must be courageous. I Percival release my seal."

"The battle must not be against one pure of heart. I Tristan release my seal."

"The battle must be an honorable one. I Gawain release my seal."

"The battle must be to save the world. I Artoria Pendragon release my seal."

Suddenly a pillar of light appeared, and a second later, it disappeared. I could see that Rhongomyniad is absorbing all the light from before.

"Let light be released from the End of the World."

"It shall split the heavens and connect the land."

"The anchor of the Storm!"

"Rhongomyniad!"
