Ch 62 The Cost of a Victory

The bright light from the Hume Barrel disappears, letting everyone see clearly the outcome of the Attack. The big green Dome that Carapace created to contain the Battle still remains,

The Hero of Protection didn't want to risk anything if Sefar still stood. "D-Did the big Attack work? That bright light was so big that nothing should be able to survive it." Carapace asked, hoping they won this Battle.

"Please don't jinx it Carapace, I don't want to experience this ever again." Queen Bee replied, hating when someone said something that could go wrong instantly.

Jeanne held her Flag, unsure how many Times she could deploy her Noble Phantasm. If she's being honest with herself, just protecting everyone from Sefar's Attack and the Ocean of Milk from Kingprotea's Serial Phantasm. "Remain on guard everyone, we're still in a Battle despite feeling like it's the end."

Hawk Moth nodded, agreeing with the Chaldean Servant. "That's right, even if that Attack struck at a vital point of the Enemy, letting your guard is one mistake you don't make during Battles." The former Villian said to the young Heroes.

Abe no Seimei steps forward, using another Onmyoji Spell to check the Area. However, with the Hume Barrel Rayproof strike and another Magical Energy remnant was interfering with the Spell. "I'm not detecting anything, there's too much Magical Energy interference for my Spell to properly work." The Grand Cater said,

Octavian stood up, removing his Sword from the Pavement of the Street. "Let's just wait, Xu Fu can you use that Spell again that you and both Taikoubou prepared again?" The Saber asked the Alter Ego Servant.

"U-Uh…j-just give me a moment to rest up. That Spell takes a lot of Magical Energy from me," Xu Fu explains to the First Roman Emperor, "I need to restore my Magical Energy to even deploy it again." The Alchemist said,

On the one side of the Area, Chat Noir coughs as he wipes away the dust around him. "Ahem, ahem! Hey, is anyone there?" The Hero of Destruction asked, searching for anyone after being caught up in the Attack from the Storm Border. "Man, I didn't think I would be caught up in the Attack."

"Chat Noir, is that you?" The blonde Hero heard a familiar voice calling out to him, but a bit older.

Turning his attention where Chat Noir heard the voice who was calling him. The Hero of Destruction saw a tall figure making his way over to him,

Chat Noir saw an Adult Woman who shared a resemblance to Altera Larva, however, she didn't retain her White shirt and was replaced with a white Bra. In her Arms was his unconscious Cousin,

"Altera Larva? Is that you?" The Hero of Destruction asked, unsure if this Servant was the same Servant he met many Times before. "You look different,"

Altera looks at Chaldea's Human Ally, answering his question. "Of course, my Larva form is where my Magical Energy was drained and reduced to that form." The Saber explains her situation to Chat Noir,

"Oh, sorry. I keep forgetting that small form of yours isn't your original form." Chat Noir sheepishly said before taking note of his Cousin in the Arms of the Hun. "Anyways, how is Felix? I know I ask this before, but…"

"You want to make sure he's alright. I understand, Chat Noir," The white-haired Servant said, having adopted Human understanding during her Time in Chaldea. Altera gazes down at the unconscious blonde Boy. "To answer your question, the Enemy master is alright."

"He's still breathing despite being turned into a Core for Sefar, but unconscious," Altera explains, informing the Anomaly master's condition to his Relative.

Chat Noir looks at his Hand, seeing that the Command Seals he received were used up and any traces of them are beginning to fade. "His Command Seals, they're starting to fade," He pointed out,

"Indeed," Altera nodded, "From the Command Seals disappearing, it means that we've Won this Battle." The former Titian confirms what the Heroes of Paris were thinking.

The Hero of Destruction heard what the Saber said. Chat Noir then looks around, resuming his search for the others. "Then if we Won, where is everyone?"

Altera looks around, also curious about where her fellow Chaldeans are. "I am too curious where my comrades are as well. But I could tell they are around," The Saber said, sensing Servants around them.


On the Building's Roof where Ritsuka, Ladybug, Rena Rogue, and Lancelot (Berserker) all saw the dust cloud from the Humme Barrel Rayproof.

The black-haired Magus's Eyes were focused on the clouded Battlefield, having experienced that no matter what, never let your guard down even though the Enemy has taken a hit from a powerful Attack.

In the background, Rena Rogue was cheering at the victory they got over the Foreigner. "WOO! WE DID IT! WE BLASTED THAT ALIEN TITIAN TO BITS!" The Hero of Illusion shouted in glee.

Rena Rogue approaches the Mad Dog of the Roundtable, raising both of her Hands in the Air. "Hey Berserker, give me some here!" The brunette Hero said, wanting to celebrate with him.

Lancelot saw the gesture, not being the One to celebrate like how Rena Rouge is celebrating. He's also not the one to refuse a Maiden's request.

The Black Knight of the Lake raised his Hands, clapping his Armored Hands with Rena Rogue's Hand, "Arrtthhuurr…" Lancelot growls lowly, a way to show his excitement in a calm manner.

"Oh come on now, you were screaming from the top of your lungs when you were flying that black Jet in the Air." The Hero of Illusion said, knowing the Berserker has within him to celebrate truly.

Lancelot's Helmet visor glowed Red before he cocked his Head into the Air and howled. "AAAAAARRRRRRRTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHUUUUUUUURRRRRRRR!" The Mad Dog of the Lake howls in the Air, like how Rena Rogue wants him to do.

Rena Rogue held both her Hands to her Ears, her Eardrums rang from the Howl Lancelot made. "H-Hey! That's more like it, (though that was louder.)" The Hero of Illusion smiles, "(Though I should've known my Ears would ring when he Howls. He's louder up close than I thought…)" She mentally thought to herself.

Ladybug heard both Lancelot and her Best Friend celebrating at the back of them. "Ritsuka, we did it! We-" The bluenette Hero paused, seeing Ritsuka continue to stare at the clouded Battlefield. "Ritsuka, what is it? You're staring forward,"

"Sorry, Ladybug but I'm not letting my guard down one bit after I'm sure that we completely defeated Sefar," Ritsuka said, having plenty of experience in Singularities and Lostbelts of an Enemy coming back from what they presume a Victory.

The Hero of Creation was surprised and yet she understood why the Chaldean master is on edge. Ladybug couldn't help but have her Eyes gazed over to where Ritsuka was staring.

Rena Rogue along with the Berserker Servant, saw how stiff the Two were acting despite their successful Front. "Hey Ladybug, Ritsuka! Why are you not celebrating with us? We've won against the Titian!" The brunette Hero asked with a bright smile written on her Face.

Just as the Hero of Illusion approaches the others, the dust cloud that surrounds the Battlefield soon clears, revealing something that makes everyone's Hearts drop.

Standing perfectly fine, the White Titian, Sefar was still standing despite all the Debuffs and the Humme Barrel Rayproof Beam that was empowered by Humanity's Wishes and another Holy Sword from the King of the Franks, (Though, Ritsuka doesn't know about Charlie's sacrifice).

Ladybug grips the Lucky Charm she held, her Face expresses horror and disbelief. Much to everyone's shock, everyone felt dread, everything they did, every energy they used just to bring down Sefar felt all the same.

"N-No...after all that we've done, all the Servants and People that sacrifice themselves just to be here…" Ladybug said, her voice shaky and filled with dread.

Rena Rogue turns to Ritsuka, unsure what to do next. "Hey, Ritsuka! What do we do now? That Titian is still standing after that big Beam hurled straight-"

Lancelot held back the brunette Hero, shaking his Head with a low growl.

The Hero of Illusion turns her attention to the Berserker, wondering why he held her back. "W-What are you doing, Berserker? This is a serious situation…" Rena Rogue paused, seeing the Mad Dog of the Roundtable point to the White Titian.

Rena Rogue looks at the White Titian, her Body starting from her Feet beginning to turn into a white substance before overtaking her entire Body. "H-Her Body…Ladybug…"

The bluenette Hero also saw what her Friend was seeing. Ladybug turns to the Foreign Magus, wanting to point out what they're seeing to him. "Ritsuka, do you see what is happening to Sefar? Does that mean-"

-ZZZ- Director Fujimaru, this is the Storm Border, we have analyzed Sefar's Signature.-ZZZ- Sion contacted the Chaldean master on the Field,

Soon Goldolf interrupted the Atlas Institute Alchemist, already too excited to contain himself, much like the other Chaldean Staff on board. -ZZZ- WE DID IT! WE DEFEATED THE WHITE TITIAN THAT BROUGHT DOWN COUNTLESS PANTEHONS LONG AGO!-ZZZ-

-ZZZ- THE MISSION WAS A SUCCESS, FUJIMARU! -ZZZ- Goldolf cheered loudly, a rare thing to see/hear for a Magus to show.

Ritsuka smiles, hearing the report from the Storm Border on the Foreigner Enemy. "That's great news, Goldolf, Sion!" The Magus said, relaying the report to the Servants and Heroes of Paris,

Ladybug and Rena Rogue looked at the Chaldean master, seeing the happy and relieved expression on his face. "Ritsuka…your Face, does that mean we've…"

The black-haired Magus nodded, confirming what the Hero of Creation was asking him. "Yeah…we've won, Ladybug, Rena Rogue," Ritsuka smiles, his Face expressing relief at the News he received from the Storm Border of their successful Mission.

"Sefar's Signature is fading right away!" Ritsuka informed the Two Heroes of Paris.

"AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHUUUUUURRRRRRR!" Lancelot Berserker howled in celebration, defeating an Enemy that was considered to be the strongest Enemy second to ORT.

While talking, the White stoney substance on the White Titian's Body began to spread across. Eventually, it spread to the Head, creating a Statue of the Foreign Entity for everyone to see.


Chat Noir, Altera, and the unconscious Felix Graham de Vanily in the Saber's Arms. "Sefar's Body, it turned to Stone." The Hero of Destruction commented on what was happening to the Enemy.

"Yes, with the full-on hit of the Humme Barrel, Sefar is defeated. However…" The King of the Huns looked closer what her previous Form in the Past. "It seems something else was at play too in the defeat of the Enemy." She said, knowing who else assisted.

The blonde Hero turns to the Saber, curious what she means. "Huh? What do you-"

Just when Chat Noir was about to finish his sentence, someone called the Hero of Destruction caught his attention. "Chat Noir! Dude! We're over here!"

Both Heroes turn to behind them and saw Carapace waving his Hand at them. His Face was filled with excitement, indicating that they have Won,

Standing with him were Queen Bee, Octavian, Xu Fu, Jeanne D'Arc, Abe no Seimei, and Hawk Moth all alive and safe.

"Umu, everyone is alright after that tough Battle!" A new Voice came through the clearing Dust,

Nero walks in behind her fellow Chaldean Servant and Chat Noir, "Nero, you're alright too!" Chat Noir exclaims, happy to see the Roman Emperor. "That's a relief,"

The Fifth Emperor of Roman smiles, chuckling to herself. "Yes, indeed for it's a true relieving moment when I Nero Claudius alive and well, Umu!" Nero stated, still acting the same Emperor as she is.

"Still the same as usual Nero," Altera commented, eyeing the Saber Servant. "Nero, what about Tenochtitlan and Kingprotea? Are they alright?"

Chat Noir then remembered the Two Extra Class Servants, also wondering how they were doing. "Yeah, how are the other Two Servants? They were the ones who held back Sefar while we were fighting."

Nero nodded, understanding the worry both People were experiencing. "Umu, both Kingprotea and Tenochtitlan are okay. They moved out of the way when the Humme Barrel and…in any case, they're both fine." The Roman Emperor said

"In any case, we need to inform master of what happened," Altera said, informing the Two of what needed to be done.

The Hero of Destruction doesn't know what's going on. Chat Noir was just happy that they were able to defeat the Enemy who threatened his Home,

However, Nero Claudius understood what the Hun was saying. She was underneath the White Titian, deploying her Noble Phantasm to debuff Sefar,

While underneath Sefar, the Saber could tell that someone along with the Humme Barrel Rayproof Beam defeated the Enemy. In fact, in the split second of the Attack, Nero could tell who exactly assisted with the Beam.

The blonde Emperor nodded, sighing at what exactly happened. "Umu, Preator will surely be sad about this," Nero said to which Altera agreed,

Chat Noir overheard what the Two Sabers were discussing. From what the conversation indicates, something terrible happened to one of their Allies. "Nero, Altera, what happen?" He asked, ceasing his small celebration. "Did someone here die during the Battle?"

Both Nero and Altera exchanged glances with each other before informing the young Hero of the situation. "Chat, it's Charlie…" The Roman Emperor proceeded to inform him about the King of the Franks.

The green Dome that kept the Battle within the exact Area between the Chaldeans and Sefar began to disappear. While the Dome disappeared, the White Titian began to turn into white dust as the Winds blew through it.

"Look!" Queen Bee points to the White Titian whose Body begins to dissipate, "That Giant thing is beginning to turn to dust!" The Hero of Immobilization informed the others,

"What is happening to the Enemy? After that bright Light, we saw, Sefar, right?" Hawk Moth asked, receiving a nod from the other Servants. "Sefar just stopped and now begins to disappear in white dusts, unlike what we saw with the other Servants after the Battle with Marie Alter." The former Villian said, wondering what was happening to the Enemy.

Abe no Seimei turns to the Holder of the Butterfly Miraculous, explaining what they witnessed. "What you saw there, Hawk Moth is the accumulation of Humanity's Wish to be saved." The Grand Caster Candidate explains to Hawk Moth. "That Beam of Light originated from the Light of the Holy Sword that befell Sefar Twelve Thousand Years Ago."

"A Sword?" Carapace asked, shifting his Head to the Storm Border hovering above the Seine River. His Eyes peer over to the Bow of the Ship, seeing how it resembles the Blade of the Sword. "Yeah, I could see the Bow of the Ship as a Sword's Blade."

Octavian placed his Hand to the side, also looking up at the Ship. "That Blade, it reminds me of the Holy Sword Excalibur." The First Roman Emperor commented, shifting his attention to the Chaldean Servants currently with them. "Say, Mademoiselle D'Arc, Lady Xu Fu is that Light from the exact Holy Sword that defeated Sefar from long ago?" He asked the Ruler.

Jeanne D'Arc nodded, replying to the Counter Force Servant. "Yes, it's a Weapon that Chaldea uses for Enemies that threaten the very World itself." The Ruler explains to the Residents of Paris.

Xu Fu nodded, answering after the Maiden of Orleans. "Y-Yeah, I read that it's a Weapon that shouldn't be used casually." The Alter Ego said, turning her attention to the Foreigner Entity.

Carapace looks up at Sefar, beginning to disappear from the City. "So Dudette, do we need to do something to make the Titian…like disappear much quicker?" The Hero of Protection asked the Chaldean Servants, mainly Jeanne.

The Ruler was about to respond, only for Abe no Seimei to answer for her. "No, let Sefar disappear on its own." The powder-blue-haired Grand Caster answered, "After being struck by Two Holy Swords, her Spirit Origins and the Core are already destroyed."

"Now, we can only watch as the Winds spread her ashes across the Planet." The Onmyoji said, his Eye staring back at the White Titian.

Everyone followed what the Grand Servant Candidate said, their Eyes drew over to Sefar as the Winds blew through her.

The Winds blew through the Foreigner Entity, cracks began to form on the stoney Body. The cracks are then exaggerated before they chip away, turning into specks of dust as they blow in the Winds.


Eventually, the Giant petrified form of Sefar shrunk from the constant Wind blowing. Soon, any remnants of the White Titian disappeared, forever spread out throughout the World.

Ritsuka sighs, seeing the White Titian, the Enemy they fought against in the Second and Third Anomaly. "Sefar's Body is gone, is she really defeated?" Ladybug asked, wanting to know if they truly won.

-ZZZ- We've done our analysis of the White Titian after the strike of the Humme Barrel Rayproof on her. -ZZZ- Mashu came on the Comms, overhearing the Hero of Creation's question. -ZZZ- Sefar's Spirit Origins has fully disappeared, she's no longer a threat to your Home, Ladybug, Rena Rogue. -ZZZ-

Rena Rogue looks at both the Chaldean master and her Friend, hearing the Woman over the Comms. "So we've won? We actually won this difficult Battle?"

"Yeah, Rena we've won." Ladybug smiles at her Best Friend, "After all those who sacrificed themselves, the many hard Battles, and impossible situations, we've won." The bluenette Hero said, relieved by where they are now.

Ritsuka nodded, wiping away the sweat accumulating on his forehead. "That's good to hear," He stumbles back, using much of his Magical Energy to provide power to all the Servants who fought against the White Titian.

Lancelot quickly approaches his master, grabbing hold of his shoulders. The Berserker supported the black-haired Magus, seeing how pale he looked. "AAARRRTTTHHHUUURRR…"

Ritsuka looks at the Mad Dog of the Roundtable, appreciating his quickness to catch him. "Thanks, Lancelot, I appreciate you catching me." The Chaldean master said,

"Ritsuka, are you okay?" Ladybug finally noticed Ritsuka being supported by the Servant. She approach him, worried for the Chaldean master's well-being.

Rena Rogue looks at the black-haired Magus, seeing how pale he looks. "Shit, Ritsuka your Face is pale as a Ghost. You need Medical Attention quick!" The Hero of Illusion said, worried for Ritsuka's Health.

Ritsuka smiles, staggering to stand on his Two Feet. "I'm alright, I just overexerted myself, that's all." The Magus said before sensing Two of his Servants are approaching the Rooftop.

Turning to the edge of the Building, the Magus saw Nero, Altera carrying the Anomaly master, and Chat Noir coming towards them. "Seems like we're going to have some visitors."

The Two Heroes of Paris saw three of their Allies heading over to them. Ladybug walks over to greet their Allies, "Chat, Nero, Altera!" The bluenette Hero smiles, happy to see them alive and well,

"Woah, woah, why is the guy who's responsible for this mess in her Arms?" Rena Rogue asked, seeing Felix in the Hun's Arms.

Altera looks at the brunette Hero, answering her question. "The Enemy master is no longer a threat, his Command Seals are used up. He's not a master anymore," The Saber said, having an idea of what to do. "If master permits it, I'm willing to give him to the Authorities to face his Crimes."

Ritsuka heard what his Servant suggested, allowing her to do so. "Go ahead, Altera. I have no qualms," The Magus said, giving his permission.

Rena Rogue nodded, understanding the logic behind this.

"Um…what's wrong?" Ladybug said, noticing the frowns on everyone's Faces. Based on what she sees, it's nothing good. She looks at her Partner, wanting to know what's going on. "Chat, what's going on? What happened during the Battle?"

Chat Noir looks at Nero and Altera, all three sharing the hard Emotions they have. The Hero of Destruction looks at Ritsuka; all attention is on the Magus as Chat Noir tells him what's happened.

"Ritsuka…Charlemagne…Charlie…" Chat Noir gulps, his throat tightening at not wanting to be the one to inform him. But he has to, it's only right for Ritsuka to know. "He used his Noble Phantasm alongside the Humme Barrel Beam…he used everything he had to defeat the Enemy."

Ladybug gasps, hearing what happened. She turns to Ritsuka, knowing that the Two share some kind of relationship. "Oh Ritsuka…"

Ritsuka stood there, processing what he heard. "W-What…"
