The infinite sword system has been mastered, and you say this is the dragon clan?

Chapter 378 I am Black Tiger Afu, prepare to die!
"But speaking of which, there are some Servants I've never encountered before. How did you manage to get Prierati to bring them out?"

What Emiya was talking about were some of the Noble Phantasms that he himself had never seen before.

Leaving aside the Twelve Paladins of Charlemagne who just appeared in the last singularity, he actually had no idea that many of the Knights of the Round Table were actually members he had never met.

As for why we should mention Plerati?

BB previously stated that it was because creating a large number of Servant shadows at once required her tiny bit of illusion magic work.

After all, it's not like Juvayus who comes with Charlemagne's spirit origin. With so many other Noble Phantasms, Emiya and the others have to materialize corresponding user images based on their characteristics. Surely these images can't all be rudimentary stick figures, right?

We need some vivid and well-developed character models that fit the fantasy historical style, right?
If you think about it carefully, if even the enemy models in a training ground look rough, then the user experience won't be very good, right?
BB gave a long list of seemingly legitimate reasons, which forced the pale-faced Prellati to use a batch of materials from her workshop to perform a spell under Emiya's instructions, making a large number of Servant Shadows more exquisite and beautiful, and closer to real people.

Meanwhile, BB, taking advantage of the situation, acted arrogantly and recklessly, criticizing Prellati:
[You're complaining about being tired and overworked, huh? Oh dear, that just shows your level of awareness as a member of the Chaldean salvation team isn't high enough!]

Your model is too blurry! From a distance, it looks like a 360p video. I've explained it repeatedly, but it's still a mess. Even the experienced developers are starting to doubt whether you've aligned the grain!

……

“So, BB, you just used Prellati like a laborer,” Emiya stared at the purple-haired AI’s face for a moment, “did you provide her with the reference data for those Servant images?”

His tone wasn't serious, but who knew BB would change her expression and look at him with a pitiful expression:

[Phew, has Senior completely forgotten? It was a cold night, with a somewhat melancholic rain falling. It was BB's first romantic encounter on a cruise ship, something BB cared about deeply, but Senior didn't seem to care about...]

Emiya's face darkened. "Why don't you just say the YAMAL giant ship incident!"

Of course he remembered the Arctic Ocean incident five years ago, the one that had been covered up. He also remembered when BB joined as a special aid unit, and how the AI's appearance had terrified many passengers on the cruise ship. If he hadn't had people around him to maintain order, who knows how much worse the chaotic situation among the survivors would have been...

[Hehehe. So, senior, you should remember that when we arrived, many Holy Grail Wars had actually taken place in the lower decks of the cruise ship, leading to the mysterious disappearance of some passengers on the YAMAL, right?]

Later, we uncovered even more secrets—the Medical Society and Odin's henchmen were involved, exploiting Vincent, the owner of the YAMAL, to create the tragedy of the Star Maria, the out-of-control Cyber ​​Grail War, and even attracting the covetous eyes of the Black King. Although Odin ultimately stole the core data, BB also intercepted a large amount of Cyber ​​Grail War data—including Servants!

The purple-haired girl finished recounting an event from several years ago, blinked innocently, and Emiya easily understood everything from her narration.

He initially thought BB had collected specific key data to give him a cheat code and create the "Flame of the End Surtur" giant weapon to fight against the Black King.

It seems that BB was clearly not going to do good deeds honestly. At that time, she was obviously very wealthy, wealthy enough to take advantage of herself to make some extra money.

No wonder she knows the appearance of many Servants, and can even easily have Prellati create models of several fantasy creatures in the training ground.

"Alright, stop pretending to be innocent," Emiya glanced at BB's pitiful little eyes and chuckled. "This happened several years ago, and I don't plan to pursue it. Who are you trying to fool with that scared look on your face?"

[It's all because the senior's martial prowess is so terrifying. The world has been peaceful and quiet for the past five years because the senior is too strong, keeping those who operate in the shadows from showing their faces and causing trouble!]

BB stuck out her tongue, acting as if she was still shaken, but in reality, she revealed that she did have the idea of ​​causing trouble, but she didn't do it because of Emiya's presence.

“I realized that kind of thing five years ago. It has both advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that our strength was exposed too quickly, which scared them into hiding, which was actually detrimental to us, and that's why we are in this situation today.”

Emiya first sighed softly, then suddenly his thoughts shifted and he made a connection to something.

"Hey, speaking of strength, BB, are you sure that after we solve the problem of their lifespan, these Servant Shadows can still improve my strength?"

【Yes, of course! BB is incredibly reliable when it comes to handling things, right?】

BB's opening remark made Emiya want to roll his eyes: "Actually, senpai, have you noticed that this sword training ground we've opened isn't just a place for participants to hone their martial arts skills? It's also a place where you, Emiya-senpai, can grow stronger along with us!"

"Huh? What do you say?"

Emiya raised his arm, clenching his fist tightly. "My stats are normal. I don't feel like I've gotten stronger!"

【Ah... Senior, the Sword Training Grounds beta version has only been open for two hours, it can't be that fast!】

[The enhancement BB mentioned refers to the participants in the training grounds, who, while acquiring martial arts skills in battle, also transfer their combat experience to their seniors' Unlimited Blade Works!]

"Huh—" Emiya recalled the martial arts skills and experience he had gained from infusing a large number of Noble Phantasms with 'projection loading,' and previous observations showed that the participants could indeed receive Emiya's projected weaponry.

However, BB said that their martial arts skills could be passed on to Emiya.

The question is, what's going on here? Others don't project weapons like I do.

"Oh dear, senior, have you forgotten? The treasures we provide come with a 'charge'—a technique that absorbs a tiny bit of spiritual energy!" BB reminded her.

Emiya suddenly opened his eyes wide, his gaze sharpening.

"I understand! It's the same process, and the reverse also applies!"

[Hmph, you get it right away, senpai! Since the Noble Phantasm itself already possesses 'projection loading,' and it also absorbed the spiritual power of those participants, this creates a completely new reverse projection loading—known in alchemy as 'spiritual reforging,' one of the seven great achievements!]

Ultimately, the purpose of absorbing this spiritual power is not simply to maintain the Servant's Shadow's manifestation for a long time. Fundamentally, it is to strengthen the predecessor's 'Unlimited Blade Works,' allowing more and more martial arts and swordsmanship to deepen the predecessor's 'Sword World' foundation!

Having a rich foundation is like having a more substantial 'bank account' or 'reservoir' for your predecessors, allowing you to summon increasingly powerful Servant shadows!

Emiya nodded silently, understanding. The borrowing technique: the larger the loan amount, the more you can borrow!

Once this invincible technique is mastered, one can roar, "Endless Sword God, emerge!!"

Then, they summoned 18,000 Super Grand Servants and beat the Demon King and Lostbelt King to death.

Excellent, excellent!

Emiya briefly drifted into a fantasy before reluctantly snapping back to reality.

Generally speaking, ideals are beautiful, but reality is harsh.

He asked BB, somewhat out of the blue, exactly how long it would take to fully activate his inherent barrier using this grand plan, instantly summoning the Endless Sword God to obliterate the enemy—

BB replied: "To reach the highest level, at the very least, one would need to collect all the Noble Phantasms and sword techniques of all humanity from ancient times to the present, right?" For a moment, Emiya was taken aback. Are you trying to trick me like Gilgamesh?

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

As the saying goes, wherever there are people, there is a world of its own; and wherever there is a world of its own, there is competition.

Just like now.

"Hmph, you damned demon woman, I slaughtered 47 Ooeyama demons! Your methods are disgusting, the swords you use are made from your own bones and claws."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu, who had quickly cleared the test version of the dungeon, saw Shuten-dōji the moment she came to her senses. This immediately extinguished the thrill she had been enjoying while honing her skills and slaying demons in the dungeon, and she began to mock him.

"Hehehe, is that all you've got, Ox Girl? I've killed over fifty Minamoto clan samurai, including your Four Heavenly Kings! Oh, they were all rather cute kids, their swordsmanship was quite good, but unfortunately—I crushed them with a single, gentle touch, and even pulled out their bones~"

Shuten-dōji was filled with murderous aura. She recounted her experiences of slaughtering monsters in the dungeon without any restraint, and as she spoke, she licked her lips with the tip of her scarlet tongue.

"You pest!"

"Dairy bitch!"

The two, still grappling with their battle, and knowing this wasn't a normal space, instantly grabbed their weapons and prepared to fight back to vent their personal grudges.

Thunder roared, snake shadows swayed, and flames surged into the sky.

"Stop! Stop fighting!"

After observing the battlefield, Emiya had no choice but to come and stop them. Apart from him, no one else could necessarily stop the two of them, and it might even have the opposite effect.

Appearing between Minamoto no Yorimitsu and Shuten-dōji, he extended the fingertips of both hands and deftly intercepted them at both ends.

Ding.

The greatswords of the demons in the hands of Minamoto no Yorimitsu's Dojigiri Yasutsuna and Shuten-dōji were caught perfectly between Emiya's two fingertips.

The swords clashed only once before neither side could advance an inch.

Amazed, Minamoto no Yorimitsu's eyes lit up. She could see that Emiya's move displayed a considerable level of skill. It should be noted that when Minamoto no Yorimitsu and Shuten-dōji fought, they were both willing to fight to the death. The fact that he could easily intercept both of them showed that his martial arts were at a godlike level, far beyond that of first-class or top-tier Servants.

"Clap clap."

Nono and Erii, who had also cleared the level, clapped as they walked over. Nono sighed with some reminiscence and exclaimed in amazement, "Every time I see you make a move, it feels a little unreal. How can there be someone as abnormally strong as you in this world! You make others chase after you, but they can't even catch a whiff of your exhaust fumes!"

Emiya thought to himself, "Do you want me to laugh three times and arrogantly declare, 'I hold the sun and moon in my hands and pluck the stars from the sky; there is no one like me in this world!'"

He glanced around. Besides these few, Melyuchina, Regiereve, Jeanne Alter, and Marie Alter had also cleared the stage. Somewhat unexpectedly, Astolfo had also slipped in. He'd seen on the surveillance footage that she'd been quite serious about clearing the stage, pulling out various Noble Phantasms in the process.

Ah Fu, do you also want to come and learn martial arts?

Emiya was highly skeptical that the story would unfold in this way...

Afu learned a hodgepodge of martial arts and swordsmanship from him. Coupled with Afu's excellent mental state, under the dual baptism of Chaldea's modern network and his mastery of divine skills, he would shout every time he faced an enemy, "I am Black Tiger Afu, prepare to die!" "Crow takes off!" "Tornado destroys parking lot!"

"Ahem, thank you all for coming to support my sword training ground! Actually, this place..."

When Emiya came to his senses, he introduced the general situation of the training ground to everyone. Then BB appeared out of nowhere and explained the benefits of the training ground, the possible side effect of mental fatigue, the benefits that Emiya could get, etc. As for the principle of the intermediate technique, BB cleverly concealed it.

Emiya didn't bother to expose them, since none of the people present were researchers anyway, and they probably wouldn't understand even if he explained.

After exchanging a few words, he quickly shut down the temporary system of the sword training ground.

Because Prierati was monitoring resource consumption in the workshop's backend, she noticed that the training ground system was consuming an astonishing amount of materials. If this weren't Chaldea, she would definitely have pressed the alarm bell.

And so the vast sword-wielding area disappeared, and everyone returned to their somewhat cramped, individual magic workshop.

Just as Emiya was about to ask Prierati about the consumption of the training grounds, another person walked in from outside.

Her slender waist swayed gracefully, her porcelain-white face reflecting soft light from outside the door.

Nuwa frowned slightly as she entered the room. "Did I... come at the wrong time?"

She noticed that, apart from Emiya, the other women present... seemed to have unstable auras and magical energy, as if they had just engaged in some kind of strenuous exercise, and in such a cramped room no less. Could it be—

...For some reason, my head feels a little heavy.

I shouldn't be here; I should be under the car.

She trembled, steeled her resolve, and made a move to leave.

"No, you came just in time!"

Emiya grasped Nuwa's hand and said.

This came just in time. He suddenly remembered that Plerati had mentioned the problem of severe material consumption. Could Nuwa's experience help solve this problem?
After all, Nuwa was a genius with experience in developing complex and massive systems like the "Thought Plate"!

Thinking about it carefully, isn't BB's plan essentially just embedding a training ground system inside his Unlimited Blade Works?

In short, the process involves users learning martial arts, providing feedback on their progress, and contributing to the system's growth.

Similarly, the Thought Compass works in the same way. Relying on a membership-based thought key system, it allows magicians across China to continuously learn, research, and upload their findings. Magicians then contribute to further enhance their Thought Compass privileges, gaining access to new knowledge and research results. This positive cycle continuously strengthens the Thought Compass.

So, Nuwa, I beg you! Oh my god, without your participation, Vadashi...
