Chapter 117: Unlimited Blade Works!

The sky was illuminated as though it were daytime. Even from a great distance, one could feel that explosive aura, as though it could flatten everything!

But in the very next second, the world suddenly fell back into darkness!

The gigantic fireball, dozens of meters tall, instantly collapsed, revealing the crimson spear at its core!

As Cú Chulainn gently beckoned, the spear refracted several times through the air before returning to his palm!

He looked ahead and saw Red Archer within the dispersing smoke. Blood flowed down from Archer's forehead, and the clothing on the right arm he had used to release magecraft had already been completely shredded.

Although he looked extremely battered, he had not died.

Seeing this scene, Cú Chulainn could not help the corner of his mouth twitching.

At this moment, he truly wanted to curse.

What kind of bullshit future was this?

Did this great me not need any face?

Wasn't it supposed to be a sure-kill strike? And it failed again this time!

Did his luck have to be that terrible!?

Damn it!

Inside the old mansion.

Tohsaka Rin was stunned at this moment.

Big brother, are you really an Archer?

Not only did you take out a shield, you even blocked the other party's Noble Phantasm's sure-kill strike!

And it looked even more impressive than Saber!

After all, Saber's evasion of Gáe Bolg back then had seemed more like luck!

But this time, it had been a head-on defense!

It was truly too shocking!

"How astonishing. To think there is a spear capable of piercing Aias!"

Red Archer spoke with admiration. Then, without the slightest hesitation, he praised him.

"That strike of yours has already far surpassed its original prototype, Gungnir."

Marvel 616 World.

Hearing this, Thor curled his lips in disdain.

The so-called "Spear of the Great God" was simply another name for Gungnir.

If his father threw that spear with all his strength, forget this church!

Even the core of this planet would be pierced through and explode!

However, considering the power level of this world was somewhat low, it was not really worth saying much.

Hearing this, Cú Chulainn was not pleased!

After all, his sure-kill strike had still been defended against. The other party's words sounded more like self-praise than praise for him.

In the next second, he could not help asking:

"Just who exactly are you?"

"As you can see, just an Archer. But that isn't important. Haven't you noticed that Caster has removed the surveillance here? We can stop now."

Red Archer replied while raising both hands to indicate surrender.

Cú Chulainn narrowed his eyes slightly.

"As expected, it's just as I thought from the beginning..."

As his voice fell, he directly left on the grounds that his mission was complete!

Inside Ryūdō Temple.

Caster looked embarrassed!

As expected!

Although she did not know what that Archer wanted to do, it was now completely certain that the other party's surrender had been fake.

He clearly was not a magus, yet his heart was even darker than hers!

Fortunately, there was this video. Otherwise, she might really have been plotted to death!

At the same time, on the church side, Tohsaka Rin and Emiya Shirou faced Caster and Kuzuki respectively!

However, the former relied on her fluorite-jewel tactics and fought evenly against the magus, while Shirou was beaten badly.

After several breaths, Tohsaka Rin gained the upper hand through strategy.

But just as she was about to defeat the other party, Kuzuki returned to support Caster!

And at that moment, Red Archer, who had already returned and hidden in the shadows, instantly used Projection magecraft!

In an instant, dozens of weapons appeared in the air and enveloped the magus!

When the smoke and dust dispersed, Caster had died in Kuzuki's arms.

And in the next moment, this man, who had clearly never shown any emotion toward the magus, chose to challenge Red Archer and likewise died beneath his blades.

Outside the screen, Caster froze.

With Kuzuki's ability, he could have completely...

But he had chosen the path of certain death, unwilling to live on alone...

For a moment, the legendary witch's heart trembled.

She had wanted to seize the Holy Grail at all costs for Kuzuki Sōichirō.

But in truth, the two of them seemed to have already possessed everything long ago.

It was on that night when she had no mana support and was hunted by her enemies.

It was the moment that person had reached out his hand to her.

In an instant, Medea's entire being softened.

The anger that had just risen toward Red Archer in her heart completely transformed into gratitude.

If not for this scene, she would not have seen the heart of Kuzuki, who was poor with words.

Nor would she have seen her own heart.

At this moment, she instantly made up her mind!

In any case, the mana for the summoning was supplied by the Holy Grail. After descending, she only needed a Master to provide mana.

Then she might as well take Kuzuki and leave!

With her vast knowledge of magecraft, she might not be the strongest, but she was definitely among the best at fleeing and hiding!

As for the Holy Grail, forget it.

Inside the old mansion.

Tohsaka Rin's face was full of joy.

As expected, she knew Archer would not betray her.

But right at that moment, dozens of long swords suddenly descended and pierced into the ground!

In the blink of an eye, they formed a cage of swords, completely trapping the delighted Tohsaka Rin!

The girl instantly understood something and shouted with incomparable anxiety:

"Why? Are you still trying to kill Shirou even now?"

Red Archer walked toward Emiya Shirou with an icy expression, making no attempt to conceal the killing intent in his eyes.

"That's right. I will kill him with my own hands..."

"And that is the only... long-cherished wish of me, who fell into becoming a Counter Guardian!"

Fairy Tail World.

Natsu and Gray immediately revealed confused expressions filled with wisdom.

A guardian Heroic Spirit's wish was to kill an extremely justice-minded boy?

Moreover, the two of them originally did not even know each other!

No matter how they looked at it, something was extremely wrong!

Opposite him, Saber, who had regained her freedom, held her sword and blocked Shirou's front.

But Red Archer merely spoke calmly:

"I said it before, didn't I, Saber? I have no glory as a hero."

Then he laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Because what remains of me now is only meaningless regret."

"For me, it would have been better if I had never become a hero."

Outside the screen.

Listening to those words filled with regret, Emiya Shirou clenched his fists tightly.

It would not be like that!

It absolutely was not what he was thinking!

He refused to accept that guess!

Inside the old mansion.

Tohsaka Rin's mood became extremely complicated!

She could not understand Red Archer's actions, but at the same time, she could not help feeling heartache.

The man before her seemed to have hidden far too much pain in his eyes.

Red Archer took a deep breath, and his voice became even colder.

"Step aside, Saber. Without a Master supplying mana, you could disappear at any moment!"

But how could the Knight King, who had sworn to become Shirou's sword, choose to flee!

She firmly raised the sword in her hand and gave her answer!

However, without a mana supply, after only a few attacks, she fell to the ground, and her body began to flicker!

Seeing this, Shirou could no longer hold back. He projected twin short blades in both hands and stepped forward!

But he was no match at all. Red Archer easily knocked him away, sending him crashing to the ground!

At the same time, his head suddenly began to ache violently, and images of himself flashed through his mind!

And at that moment, Rin used the summoning ritual to form a contract with Saber!

Saber, who had regained mana, charged toward Red Archer without hesitation!

In an instant, the two clashed like raging winds, surrounded by sparks from colliding blades!

However, after several exchanges, Red Archer's weapons could no longer endure and shattered!

Saber stopped attacking and said that his desire to kill Shirou was wrong!

But Red Archer mocked her in return, saying that her refusal to accept her past as the King of Britain, and her desire to use the Holy Grail to change that past, were the truly twisted and mistaken wishes!

As he spoke, he suddenly threw away the broken weapons in his hands and sneered.

"Speaking of which, I am Archer. I was never originally meant to fight with swords."

"Even that bow was nothing more than a borrowed item."

"Allow me to show you my essence!"

Inside the church!

Cú Chulainn's eyes suddenly changed!

Could it be that everything this man had shown before still had not been his full strength!?

Had the battle just now merely been his disguise!?

He truly did not want to believe it!

But in the very next moment!

A powerful aura completely different from before suddenly erupted from Red Archer's body!

He began chanting once more!

"I am the bone of my sword!"

"Unknown to Death!"

"Nor known to Life!"

"Unlimited Blade Works!!"

In an instant, unimaginable terrifying mana erupted like blue flames, sweeping out in every direction!

The ground, the building—everything shattered, and everything changed!

When the dazzling light dispersed, the world had already transformed into a desolate land of flame and steel!

The night sky that had once been filled with stars turned into a pale daylight, covered in dark clouds whose edges shone with a dim yellow glow. Within them floated countless enormous metal gears!

And the original church had transformed into a barren wasteland, filled with countless swords!!
