Chapter 104: Tom's Brutal Beating of Ahoge
The colossal flame, akin to a mighty dragon, collided with Excalibur's fired city-destroying beam, causing the entire earth to tremble violently.
"What is this...?!!!" Artoria's pupils contracted as she felt the scorching heat wave. Sensing the unstoppable destructive force, Artoria mustered all her magical power, attempting to destroy or at least push back the fiery dragon. If she failed to do so, Artoria knew deep down that she would be crushed by this monstrous flame like a helpless insect!
She couldn't comprehend where this terrifying dragon-shaped flame came from or how it suddenly appeared before her without the slightest warning. And what terrified her the most was the fact that her light beam was being pushed backward!
Even with all her magical power, Artoria couldn't repel the advancing dragon and couldn't even slow down its approach. However, Artoria wasn't yet in despair. She still had one last move.
Altria took a deep breath and shouted to her Master for reinforcement, "We can't continue like this, Command Seals, Master! Fill my Command Seals to the brim!"
Meanwhile, Tokiomi, sitting in his underground basement at home, found it challenging to maintain his composure as his Servant seemed to be in serious trouble. Upon hearing Artoria's request for Command Seals support, Tokiomi didn't hesitate to prepare for its use. Originally, he had planned to be cautious and avoid using the Command Seals unless absolutely necessary. But clearly, this was the kind of situation where it was unavoidable.
After all, if his Servant was defeated, he would have to relinquish his remaining three Command Seals. So, he decided to take this opportunity to test the culmination of this great magic.
"In the name of Command Seals, I command you, Saber, to use your Noble Phantasm and defeat 'Schrodinger's Cat.'"
"Here it comes!" Feeling the surge of warmth coursing through her body, Artoria, who was somewhat depleted due to a lack of mana, became exhilarated once again.
"With my current state... I should be able to do it!"
At this moment, Artoria didn't show any mercy to herself as her mana was restored to full capacity. She channeled all her magical power into Excalibur, attempting to block the fiery dragon unleashed by Tom's breath.
Artoria exerted her utmost effort and shouted loudly, "aaaah!!"
Merlin, who was playing dead on the ground not far away, saw Artoria's vigorous momentum and wondered if she could win?
After careful consideration, Merlin decided to stop playing dead and directly got up from the ground. With a wave of his hand, a... oh no, half of a staff appeared in his hand.
Immediately after, Merlin pretended that the upper half of the staff was still there and pointed it towards Artoria with a serious expression. He solemnly exclaimed, "Great British Magecraft, Artoria, it's time for dinner!"

With that said, Merlin immediately activated his inherent skill, 'Hero Creation EX.'
"Dinner time?!" Upon hearing this, Artoria's eyes lit up with excitement, and her strength in her hands immediately increased. Her already formidable aura became even stronger. "No, no, now is not the time to think about such matters!"
As Artoria continued to exert her power, she discovered that her beam cannon had suddenly doubled in thickness. She exclaimed in surprise, "Wait, what kind of enhancement is this?!"
Watching the empowered Artoria, Merlin confidently shouted, "Artoria, you have been enchanted, go forth!"
"This... I feel the power!" This power immediately filled Artoria with courage, and she immediately unleashed all her strength, betting everything on this outburst. "Excalibur!"
With Artoria's confidence, Excalibur's beam cannon reached its maximum scale and destructive power, continuously assaulting the head of the flame dragon.
However... it didn't make any difference. The flame dragon maintained its original speed, unaffected by the attack.
"Alas..." Observing the scene before him, Merlin's initial enthusiasm for Artoria defeating Tom gradually faded as he realized that the situation hadn't changed at all. His mouth twitched a few times.
After careful consideration, Merlin decisively returned to his original position of playing dead, pretending that nothing had happened.
Seeing that the flame dragon was about to collide with Excalibur's beam cannon, Artoria exclaimed in disbelief, "Is this possible? In this river?!"
"No... no..." At this moment, Artoria finally panicked, her expression resembling Aqua (this face). She urgently shouted, "Don't come any closer!"
However... the flame dragon approached, carrying the beam cannon released by Artoria.
Soon, the flame dragon, accompanied by Excalibur's beam cannon unleashed by Artoria, collided with her and pushed her back more than ten meters.
"BOOM!!!!"
In an instant, a towering pillar of light, with a diameter of twenty meters, shot up into the sky. The heat instantaneously evaporated hundreds of tons of river water, and the surrounding river banks were completely pulverized in the blink of an eye. There was even a massive rock that was propelled into the sky.
Bai Song could only vaguely see with his naked eye that the direction in which the rock flew seemed to be towards the urban area.
This enormous explosion lasted only a few seconds but came to a stop at an incredibly fast pace, appearing extremely unreal.
After the smoke and steam from the explosion and the river water dissipated, what appeared before everyone's eyes was a large crater with a diameter of 30 meters. However, since the explosion occurred near the river channel, only two-thirds of the crater formed on the shore.
On the left side of the explosion crater (facing the river channel) stood a blue and white large cat, blinking its eyes a few times.
It happened to be at the edge of the explosion crater. If it had moved forward by just one centimeter, it would have been caught in the explosion. This demonstrates precise control over distance.
In the center of the explosion crater, there lay a girl who looked pitiful and barely clinging to life.
Recalling the recent explosion, Bai Song felt a bit intimidated. Fortunately, he had swiftly lifted Gudako during the blast and positioned himself behind her. Otherwise, his clothes would have been drenched.
"Well... well done, Tom."
