In her fight with Lancer, Eve had knocked Saber onto the ground, but he had managed to get back up in a few seconds (after being stepped on by one of the creatures in her army, but that's irrelevant as he wasn't injured). Masamune would have attacked Avenger earlier, but Muramasa attacking him had delayed him. The Lancer of Clubs seemed to have weakened Avenger enough, so Saber decided that now was a good time. The white aura around him expanded a little bit and his nine (for one had been slaughtered by Muramasa because he was in the way) disciples arranged themselves around Eve in a wide circle. A small burst of white light was  visible from where he was. When it disappeared, he held a longer blade that was stronger than the previous.

"Now."

Quickly sidestepping Muramasa as she ran at him again, he charged at Eve and time seemed to slow down. She turned some of the portals at him, some of them slid right by him, merely centimeters away, but he continued. More weapons came. Each fell to the side as it bounced off his new blade that was glowing a vivid blue. It continued to get brighter as Anne made the deflective covering stronger. Finally as he neared her, his nine disciples who had followed him, shrinking the circle prevented all routes in and out. In the circle that was about five feet wide, there were no armored humanoid creatures anymore, just fallen pieces of metal.

I'm going to weaken her before you deal the killing blow.

Below the layer of water which Anne continued to hold up, a large flame burned a path towards Avenger leaving only dripping 'metal' behind. It seemed to leap right over  the circle's edge, but in the center, Eve was burnt decently. She was still pretty strong and still would barely have the upper hand against a master. A third of the portals turned to the attacker, Anne, and fired. Most of the rest aimed at Saber, but he deflected them quickly.

"Cody, help me keep the shield up!" She shouted at him over the noise of weapons crashing into various things. Even before he could respond, she continued forcing the shield to stay up by pushing against each incoming blade. He joined in as well, but didn't use as much mana.

Shit, that was probably my last attack.

While they worked at keeping the shield up, Saber and his students closed in on Avenger.

"It's over for you."

He lifted his blade up and sliced down, through her skull and face and everything. Blood splattered on the ground and started to pool up. Just in case she was alive, each disciple impaled her with their blades till Avenger looked like an apple with a ton of toothpicks stabbed through it. She collapsed on the ground and began to crumble into ashes that drifted away.

Cracks spread through the portals of Sanctum Sanctorum and they fell to pieces before dissolving in a similar manner as their creator had. The armored creatures also seemed to be going through the same process. Above, the phoenixes split into what seemed to be millions of shards of glass and penetrated the layer of water which came tumbling down, soaking everyone below. No one was hurt by the pieces of glass that fell harmlessly like glitter from the sky.

The only colors in the room were red and white. Muramasa glared at Saber...
