With the explosive power unleashed by Tohsaka Rin and Lei, one transformed two-thirds of the battlefield into her own 'territory' with an innate domain, asserting control and completely reversing the situation, while the other unleashed the power of her calamity in an invincible stance, sweeping away nearly every enemy within sight.

Under such circumstances, the Dragon race threw their full strength into the charge and quickly gained an absolute advantage. In the other three battle zones, while the Esper Group and the Black Group remained deadlocked, the Yuri Group achieved brilliant results. The chaotic Golden Theater had not yet vanished before the ghost legions within were completely annihilated by them. Although they themselves sustained several injuries, under Mokona's all-encompassing healing arts, everyone was vigorous and refreshed when the fighting ended... of course, this was also because Mokona's support abilities were still active; should the effects cease, the aftereffects would likely be substantial.

Additionally, the fifty mechanical maids originally guarding the courtyard were divided into two teams by [Name Redacted]'s order to reinforce the Esper Group and the Black Group. While their addition couldn't break the existing balance of the fighting, it did have some effect.

"Healing! We need healing here!" Just as the situation was developing positively, Long Xuan suddenly shouted out loud. In her arms, she cradled a blue-haired girl who slumped limply against her, head askew. The girl's tightly shut eyes trembled slightly, her forehead beaded with sweat, and her face was terribly pale, appearing to be in significant pain... This was Leifly.

Although lifting her limiter greatly increased her power, the resulting side effects exceeded the limit she could currently bear. After slaying the majority of the enemies, she finally lacked the strength to maintain the single-person contract state. The Blade of the (Cuì Fēng) was retracted, revealing her true form as she plummeted from the sky. Had Long Xuan not been closely watching her movements, she might have been crushed by a surviving giant beast upon falling.

Upon catching the girl, Long Xuan immediately flew towards the Sky City while shouting, as the other Dragons shielded her from the pursuers behind.

Of course, the situation was not optimistic. Even after Lei's rampage, the remaining giant beasts numbered over a hundred. Their initial advantage meant their power hadn't been significantly depleted, whereas the Dragons, including Long Xuan, were utterly exhausted. Even in terms of numbers they could contend, their overall combat strength slightly lagged behind.

"Ugh! Sky Tyrant..." Little Ber darted frantically in the sky, hidden. Her Sky Tyrant ability had only lasted five minutes; she was completely useless now and could only fret anxiously.

Nero's innate domain remained active, preventing Long Xuan's voice from reaching inside. However, those observing the war's progression within the Sky City saw it and immediately relayed the message to Mokona via a specific communicator. To provide timely healing, Nero had to dispel her domain, and under Setsuna's guard, Mokona swiftly rushed towards Long Xuan's location.

"We need healing over here too... Hurry!" Before Mokona and Long Xuan could meet, Onyxia, the Black Dragon MM, shrieked, her hands clutching an unconscious girl—it was Tohsaka Rin.

However, Rin's injuries appeared far more severe; her entire body was stained crimson, blood dripping steadily down. She looked as if she had been pulled from a pool of blood, terrifyingly so.

Onyxia knew the gravity of Rin's injuries—not only had all her blood vessels ruptured, but her internal organs were also damaged. Without immediate treatment, her life was in constant danger.

"Damn it! Block them! Block them!" Onyxia flew toward the Sky City with the utmost speed, shouting at her companions around her, her tone filled with fury and anxiety.

With Tohsaka Rin unconscious, her innate domain naturally collapsed. The Dragon race was deprived of magical supply, causing their combat power to drop sharply. The giant beasts released from the domain numbered over a hundred, and combined with those outside, the total reached over five hundred... Although most were grievously wounded, due to the Evil King's command, killing the host was the top priority, so they relentlessly pursued Onyxia, disregarding their own safety.

Despite the interception by the Dragons, the giant beasts were now frenzied in battle, some even employing suicidal attacks, solely focused on killing the critically wounded Tohsaka Rin.

Because the battle erupted so suddenly, the Dragon race was not equipped with Super Bell Sound's spatial jump devices. Onyxia could only rely on her own speed to reach the Sky City. The beasts' focused single-target attacks placed immense pressure on her; had other Dragons not helped intercept, she likely would have been killed within the first hundred meters.

Finally, under the desperate protection of the Dragons, Onyxia successfully delivered Tohsaka Rin to the Sky City. But upon seeing two patients in equally critical condition, Mokona seemed somewhat flustered... because the injuries sustained by Tohsaka Rin and Lei were beyond the scope of ordinary healing arts. With her current ability, she could only heal one at a time, and the process would likely take significant time. This meant that while she treated one, the other could die at any moment, leaving her with no choice.

"Save her first!" Seeing her panic, Long Xuan pointed at Tohsaka Rin and immediately stated, "I can temporarily preserve this child's life with my power, but she can only survive for another minute at most. If she isn't treated immediately, she will die!"

"Oh, okay... okay." Mokona calmed down and immediately cast her healing art upon Tohsaka Rin.

"Those damnable beasts, I'm going to slaughter them!" Simultaneously, Onyxia, bristling with intense aggression, cloaked in black killing intent, flew back towards the battlefield.

On the other side, Nero, having resolved the ghost legions, along with Isayama Yomi and Tsuchimiya Kagura, charged toward the giant beasts. Although Nero could not deploy the Chaotic Golden Theater again, her inherent strength was High Spirit Rank, and she still possessed an unused Border-Crossing Noble Phantasm. Yomi and Kagura, fighting in tandem, could suppress a High Spirit Rank entity, while Bai Rui and Ran Honglian, having merged with the Gorgon's Petrification Stone, were exceptionally powerful, sufficient to handle those giant beasts.

The addition of these three individuals and two beasts played the decisive role; the scales of battle tipped completely. After more than ten minutes, the last giant beast fell beneath Nero's blade.

Following that, they and nearly hundreds of Dragons immediately charged towards the front and rear of the Sky City, joining the full counterattack by the Black Group and the Esper Group... With the might of the Dragon race, even at their last gasp, dealing with these remaining enemies was more than enough. In moments, all enemies were annihilated, and the flying flames of war finally ceased.

At the same time, the injuries of Tohsaka Rin and Lei were fully healed under Mokona's treatment. Although they could not yet awaken, their lives were no longer in danger.

"We won?" Regarding the victory in this battle, everyone still found it hard to believe. After all, they had entered the fight prepared for certain death, and now not only had they triumphed, but everyone had survived... something no one had anticipated beforehand.

Certainly, this outcome resulted not only from their own efforts but more significantly from Tohsaka Rin and Lei. Had those two not fought without regard for their own lives, the final result might have been entirely different.

However, when taking stock of the casualties afterward, a wave of sorrow inevitably washed over them... Although the battle was won, the cost paid was devastatingly heavy. Putting aside Tohsaka Rin and Lei for a moment, the Dragon race alone suffered over four hundred deaths, over a thousand high-grade units were destroyed, and more than half of the three hundred mechanical maids perished.

"Do not dwell on it. Life is destined to end one day; the only difference is sooner or later. Dying on the battlefield may not be a bad thing for them," Long Xuan stated calmly. Although her tone suggested indifference, a flicker of hidden grief showed in her eyes.

The others did not know what to say. Even the typically carefree Nero wore a somber expression, as many of the deceased Dragons were people she knew—individuals with whom she had fought and shared drinks just recently.

They all knew that had the Dragons not shielded them from the terrifying Orc legion, their own combat strength would have been utterly crushed, leaving no possibility of victory.

"Attention, the battle is not over. Enemy forces have been detected again a hundred miles out, numbering approximately five thousand or more!"

Just as everyone was mourning the dead, before they could fully absorb the sadness and gravity, a voice suddenly came over the communicator. Upon hearing it, their expressions instantly changed drastically.

"Five thousand... How is that possible?!" Everyone's eyes widened in terror, and even Long Xuan and the others couldn't help but tremble slightly.

They had just endured such a brutal war, leaving them utterly exhausted and at their lowest ebb. How could they possibly handle thousands of enemies now? Even if those enemies weren't as powerful as the Orc legion, winning was impossible!

"It's alright, leave the next wave of enemies to us." Super Bell Sound's figure appeared above the courtyard of the Sky City—a projection. She appeared to be seated at a control console, her face calm and composed as she smiled, "It was expected that the enemy's initial attack would be so fierce, meaning there wouldn't just be one wave. This was factored into our calculations. It took a moment to bring that apparatus to its maximum output state, so leave this wave to us. You all should quickly return to the main hall."

Boom!

Before anyone could react, one of the floating cities suddenly shuddered. Rock walls several meters thick peeled outwards, revealing hundreds of cannon muzzles, each over a meter in diameter, densely packed within.

"Pseudo Death Star—The Floating City! Now you all shall taste the might of this contraption!"

Through the projection, one could faintly discern Super Bell Sound and [Name Redacted] seated within the central controller of that floating city.
