“The basement, isn’t that perfect? ​​There’s a door behind me, which means you can’t avoid this attack, Archer.”

"As for the strangers here... what do they have to do with me?"

Artoria gave a cold laugh, and with her broken steel sword, now imbued with all its black light, she slashed forward fiercely.

"Excalibur!"

139 The Last Request

The pitch-black light, like a tsunami, crashed down on Shirou Emiya.

Despite Shirou Emiya telling Artoria about the situation inside the building, Artoria seemed to have no intention of holding back at all, and even seemed to increase her efforts because of it.

The dark light filled every corner of the basement. Although the attack Excalibur from the broken steel sword looked like a beam of light, it was actually a cutting attack.

The thick light gushing forth from the very front of the blade is like a blade made of light itself. These blades will cut through anything that stands in the way of the light, shredding everything into pieces, and then, under the influence of immense heat and magic, turning everything into ashes.

The full-force attack of the Noble Phantasm against the castle should theoretically be something that no ordinary Heroic Spirit could withstand.

Fortunately, Shirou Emiya is not an ordinary Heroic Spirit.

If Saber Artoria, the legendary King Arthur, was a historical hero chosen to become a Heroic Spirit because of her achievements, then Shirou Emiya becoming a Heroic Spirit is more of an inevitable destiny.

As the protagonist, he participated in the Holy Grail War, encountered his future self who had become a Heroic Spirit, and met the powerful swordsman Saber and the Knight King Artoria. All of this enabled Shirou Emiya to miraculously transform from a novice mage who only knew how to enhance magic into a Heroic Spirit valued by Alaya.

In addition, his almost superhuman projection ability, which allowed him to learn projection techniques from his future self, enabled him to project countless treasures of the Hero King Gilgamesh into the body of an ordinary person, giving him adaptability and combat abilities unlike those of ordinary heroic spirits.

There's no need to elaborate on the inevitability and coincidence involved. Of course, Shirou Emiya's personal efforts and his seizing of these opportunities also contributed to his becoming the Heroic Spirit Shirou Emiya we know today, nicknamed "Cheater Red A".

If I had to give a comment on the overpowered archers, it would be that when I use cheat codes, even I'm afraid of myself. And now, it's time for Shirou Emiya to make his move.

The pure light transformed into a black beam of light that rushed towards Shirou Emiya. Just as Artoria had said, Shirou Emiya had no way to avoid it, and he only had one choice left.

We'll tough it out.

"LawAias!"

Emiya Shirou stretched out his hand, and thick magical energy surged from his palm. Countless magical energies condensed and then bloomed into a jet-black petal. Seven petals expanded outwards and rotated slightly in Emiya Shirou's palm.

LawAias originally referred to the bronze shield covered with seven layers of cowhide that Ajax used to block Hector's javelins during the Trojan War in Greek mythology. Later, its scope expanded to include "conceptual armaments" that boasted absolute defense against projectile weapons, thus elevating its existence.

LawAias, the Seven-Ringed Sky, is also the only defensive conceptual weapon that Shirou Emiya excels at.

The jet-black beam of light and the seven jet-black petals finally collided. The light, which was originally the same color, seemed to be irreconcilable enemies here, and they clashed violently.

A violent explosion erupted immediately. How could a basement, originally intended only for human use, withstand the full force of two powerful heroic spirits? The burst of magic instantly shattered the reinforced concrete of the basement like tofu, and countless pieces of cement fell down with a crash. The entire roof of the basement, which was also the floor of the first floor, collapsed.

However, it was not just the first floor that was damaged. No human-built structure can withstand such a large-scale structural change. The destructive power of such a disaster is probably only comparable to a catastrophic earthquake.

The entire floor began to shake violently, followed by countless screams, exclamations, and all sorts of noises mingling together, creating a cacophony that made one's ears ache.

However, probably thanks to Japan's disaster response, especially the high earthquake resistance of its buildings, the building did not show any signs of collapsing even though its structure was severely damaged and countless creaking sounds came from all directions.

However, what followed was a piercing alarm, and the previously quieter sounds of people, after the vibrations stopped, immediately became chaotic.

This alarm signaled evacuation. Everyone, regardless of who they were or what they were doing, stopped what they were doing and quickly left their posts, moving away from the building that was in danger of collapsing.

The light from the collision gradually faded, and Artoria sheathed her sword. Although Excalibur was a powerful attack, it actually converted pure magic power within her body into light to strike the enemy, thus consuming the magic power stored within Artoria's body.

Just as Shirou Emiya had said, Artoria's frantic consumption of magical energy was practically tantamount to suicide. Her legs were now showing signs of blurring, and even the light on her black holy sword had dimmed considerably.

However, Artoria didn't care about her own condition. Instead, she looked at the pile of cement blocks and said, "I didn't expect you to survive. You really are a wild dog. Your vitality is so strong."

"Thank you for the compliment, but... I don't even have the strength to push these stones away now. Saber, are you really going to kill me?"

Do I have a reason not to kill you?

"Indeed, there's really nothing between us!"

Artoria raised her sword again and said, "Well then, Archer, you are quite strong as an opponent."

Artoria raised her sword again, about to strike the heavily wounded Archer once more, following the direction of the sound, when suddenly a burst of gunfire rang out behind her.

Artoria frowned, and her magic surged once more, forming a jet-black sphere of magic around her. In this way, the highly concentrated magic became a powerful magical shield.

"Ding, ding, ding!"

The bullets struck the magic shield and instantly shattered into pieces that fell to the ground.

Such a live-fire attack would certainly be no match for Artoria. However, what made Artoria frown was that there were quite a few people coming, actually a squad of dozens of people, each carrying a live gun.

"Fire in waves, suppressive fire, keep firing, don't stop!"

In the distance, a commander-like figure was directing the attack. Under his command, the soldiers, in groups of five, fired at Artoria in waves. Countless bullets rained down on Artoria's shield without stopping for a moment.

"This smell, this nauseating smell, it's black mud!"

Artoria's nose twitched slightly, and she instantly understood the origin of this group of people. They were not ordinary people from this world, but were all incarnations of the Black Mud.

They kept spraying bullets at Artoria in an attempt to suppress her and deplete her magical energy.

The magical shield that Artoria released was essentially an expression of her own magic power. She compressed the magic power and made it almost tangible, thus blocking all attacks.

All of Artoria's attacks follow this pattern in essence. As someone with red dragon genes, Artoria possesses the magical power innate to dragons. That extraordinary magical power is the source of Artoria's magical resistance and the reason for her immense magical strength.

However, as a warrior, Artoria's methods of using magic can be described as unrestrained and crude. If Artoria has enough magic, it's fine, but once she gets into a tough battle, Artoria may find herself in a state of magic depletion due to her own combat strength.

Especially now, as a Heroic Spirit, Artoria has come to the Accelerated World, which is devoid of magic. Without the support of the mystery and origin of the Fate world behind her, Artoria's magic power is equivalent to her life force; the more she consumes, the weaker she becomes.

"Since you've shown up on your own, don't blame me for being impolite."

Faced with this provocative attack from a group of black sludge, Artoria naturally couldn't allow herself to be truly suppressed. With a swing of her greatsword, a jet-black slash shot towards the group of black sludge, instantly cleaving a row of them in two.

However, after easily killing Black Mud, Artoria's expression did not ease. Instead, she seemed to have thought of something, her face changed, and she cried out, "Not good!"

She turned around abruptly to check on Shirou Emiya's condition, but it was too late.

The original pile of cement blocks had disappeared, replaced by a standing figure in a red cloak. Several clumps of black mud wriggled around him, repairing the pitted wounds on his body and replenishing Shirou Emiya's magical power.

"Unfortunately, it seems I've won, Saber. I told you, in this situation, it's clear that I, as an Archer with high battle continuation, have the advantage. Besides, now that you've betrayed us, you won't receive the black mud's mana replenishment."

"Faced with such a desperate situation, do you still want to continue fighting?"

"Just come back with me obediently. Given how much he likes you, he definitely won't do anything to you. You don't have to do anything, and you don't need to humble yourself to do anything for him. You'll just stay in prison. What's so unacceptable about such a condition?"

"Hmph, dogs can't understand human thoughts."

Seeing that Saber was still mocking him, Shirou Emiya raised his voice and said in a commanding tone, "Come back with me!"

Unfortunately, Artoria's response to Shirou Emiya was a familiar pose, a pose she had already used once.

Dark magic surged toward the sword once more. Artoria, whose magic was already depleted, was about to unleash Excalibur again!

Seeing this, Shirou Emiya finally lost his composure. The complex and conflicted emotions in his heart made his expression twist, and he roared at Artoria.

"Saber, do you really want to die?!"

"Archer, if you have any respect for me, then let me disappear into this light."

Shirou Emiya, who originally wanted to rush towards Artoria to stop her from committing suicide, stopped abruptly when he heard these words, which sounded almost pleading.

Shirou Emiya still doesn't understand Artoria's royal dignity, but can he bear to refuse Saber's final request?

Author's Note:

PS: This is the third update. The fourth update will be after midnight, so you can check back tomorrow morning.

140 Are you interested in changing jobs?

"Big brother, are you really going to do this? Why don't you let Yuuki go? Why make you risk your life yourself?"

After leaving Accelerated World, Mo Mo and his team didn't rest either.

Mo Mo first mobilized all available resources to cause some trouble for the Black Feather Group in the real world, but those were measures that would only be effective later. Right now, the most important thing was to quickly check on Black Feather Sakura's condition and confirm her safety.

However, judging from the way Kuroba Sakura screamed as she exited the Accelerated World, one thing is certain: unless Momo and the others instantly teleported there, they definitely wouldn't be able to keep up with the changes in the situation there.

But is it possible for Momo and the others to teleport there instantly?

The answer is, it's possible!

The highest level of technology provided by Kayaba Akihiko is not complete physical acceleration, which would allow the human body to move at a speed a hundred times faster in reality, but rather quantum teleportation technology.

In fact, Momo and the others had already used this ability in the Accelerated World before. In the Accelerated World, everyone's consciousness is quantumized. In this way, quantumized consciousness can use the properties of quantum to achieve zero-time-difference jump movement.

In fact, the quantum communication that Momo and his group have now mastered, which allows them to directly sense each other's thoughts using quantum sensing, is the same technology, except that this technology transmits information.

This technology can be used not only in accelerated worlds, but also in real-world applications.

Momo could easily pull his consciousness out, just like entering the Accelerated World, and use quantum teleportation technology to transfer his consciousness to a specific location.

However, such an action carries enormous danger.

If you simply extract consciousness, use quantum light as a carrier, and transmit it to a certain place, then if the quantum light dissipates for some reason during this process, then Momo's consciousness will also dissipate.

This is also why Yuuki is now volunteering. As a regular Heroic Spirit, even if she dies unexpectedly, she will be reborn in the Hall of Heroes and will not suffer any essential loss.

However, Mo Mo shook his head at the suggestion, saying, "No, I still need to go. Yuki, the situation on the other side is unclear. What use would you be if you went? As a quantum state consciousness, you have no combat power. You would only be able to observe intelligence."

“Even just observing intelligence is fine. I’ll go check out the situation first, then tell you, big brother, and then you can take action. This way, we can also confirm whether the technology is truly safe.”

"If you're questioning this technology, just look at me now, isn't that enough?"

Kayaba Akihiko, who was standing to the side, was not having it when someone questioned his skills.

That's right, Kayaba Akihiko also left Accel World and came to Momo's side as an outside helper. The reason he was able to appear at this time was because of this technology.

Kayaba Akihiko's body was now semi-transparent, like a ghost, and shimmered with layers of quantum light that resembled mist. He was now using quantum light as a medium, appearing before everyone as a consciousness.

"Mo Mo... how about I go instead... after all, it's my business!"

Kuroyukihime looked at Mo Mo with unease, smiled slightly, pinched the bridge of Kuroyukihime's nose, and said, "No need. Only if I go can I use my trading ability to do something. Even if your sister is really critically ill, I might be able to save her."

“But if you go, you still won’t be able to do anything; instead, you’ll just waste time.”

"As for the safety of this technology, well, this tech geek is here to guarantee it. If something really goes wrong, I can just dismantle his Accelerated World once I've come to my senses."

Kayaba Akihiko was exasperated. He was both angry and helpless at Momo's threat, and he didn't want to provoke Momo, so he could only say, "Don't worry, my technology is absolutely safe. Just don't get into any trouble and don't do anything unnecessary with this weak quantum body."

Mo Mo shrugged at Kayaba Akihiko's suggestion and said, "Do I look like someone who acts so casually?"

Kayaba Akihiko bluntly retorted, "When you act recklessly, you're not even human."

"Enough with the nonsense, I'm going to teleport you to BlackVise's offline location. Be careful, who knows what might be going on there."
