Behind-the-scenes video of the beginning of Honkai.

Page 64

The holy sword and the iron pillar collided violently, and an immense and unparalleled force poured into the ground beneath the feet of the two Servants. In an instant, the earth churned, trees cracked, and the deafening roar resounded throughout the entire forest.

The immense force of their interaction was transmitted back from the Holy Sword and the Iron Pillar to the two perpetrators, causing Rowling and Qianjie to involuntarily take several steps back, resulting in a stalemate.

Although the battle seemed very intense, it was just a prelude to both sides testing each other's strength. Now that the testing was over, the real battle to determine life and death was about to begin!

"--boom!"

With a muffled thud, the ground beneath Qianjie's feet trembled violently, and countless fragments of varying sizes, stained with flames, flew out from the area around his sunken foot.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh————"

The next moment, Qian Jie kicked these fragments, sending them flying like arrows. They tore through the air like dozens of sharp rockets, hurtling towards where Rowling was!

As these hot, shattered stones were blasted towards him with tremendous force, Qianjie, radiating a terrifying killing intent, launched a fierce attack on Luo Lin, who was clad in full armor.

Rowling narrowed her eyes slightly, completely ignoring the incoming pebbles, and with both hands wielding her holy sword in a precise arc, she met Thousand Tribulations head-on.

Chapter 149 The Undamaged Lake

【"boom--"

A violent shockwave erupted from the point where the Noble Phantasms intersected, and in an instant, the ground beneath the two Servants shattered, with earth and rocks tumbling down.

After exchanging blows, Qianjie swiftly rotated his hands, unleashing an even more ferocious attack without mercy. Every move he made was as savage as a wild beast, and the iron pillar in his hands appeared powerful and heavy, extremely formidable.

Coupled with his superb fighting skills, even Rowling gradually lost ground.

"Woman, not bad!"

Qianjie praised him, saying that being able to fight himself to such an extent was quite impressive in the previous civilization. However, although Qianjie's weapon had been enhanced by Honkai energy, it was ultimately just a crooked and twisted iron pillar remnant.

The weapon in his hand was also nearing its limit, unable to withstand that many more strikes from the holy sword of Excalibur!

After the battle raged on, Qianjie became excited again, let out a loud roar, and smashed the iron pillar in his hand toward Luo Lin with a sharp force.

The force of this attack was terrifying, as if it would smash Rowling's petite body into the ground!

"Drink it!!"

Having gradually become accustomed to the Thousand Tribulations fighting style, Rowling raised her hands without hesitation, her holy sword directly meeting the broken iron pillar falling from above.

"--boom!"

As their weapons clashed, the immense force was transmitted between them, causing Rowling's feet and calves to sink into the ground instantly. The surging Honkai energy violently intertwined and clashed, shattering the knee-deep ground. Then, a gust of wind swept up the almost pulverized fragments, which were blown into the air, plunging the surrounding area into darkness.

"Click~"

The iron pillar in Qianjie's hand was also overstimulated and finally broke completely due to the loss of Honkai energy. Luo Lin herself was also shaken by the powerful force that burst out from her petite body, causing her body to tilt slightly upwards.

In the blink of an eye, almost at the same moment Qian Jie revealed a flaw, Rowling's holy sword seized the opportunity to advance rapidly, slashing Qian Jie's shoulder with a single blow.

With a crisp metallic clang, the Holy Sword struck the jet-black armor that resembled molten lava. The force of the blow forced Qian Jie back a step, but the Holy Sword failed to truly wound the opponent's body.

Fortunately, Rowling did not stop after her successful attack. She instantly increased the Honkai energy supply, and the holy sword that was blocked by the armor on Qianjie continued to slash downwards.

finally--

The holy sword struck the body behind the armor, its sharp blade instantly slicing through the magically simulated skin and muscles, causing blood to gush out and splatter several feet.

"...Ah...ah...!!"

Qianjie, injured, let out a howl that seemed to be both in pain and excitement. The flames on his body rose even higher, forcing Rowling to retreat.

"Woman, you actually managed to injure me. Fighting you was exhilarating. As a reward, I'll burn you to ashes, so you can die without feeling any pain!"

The surrounding environment began to change, and the environment around the two of them also changed directly, which was the inherent barrier of Qianjie.

"Die!"

The fiery meteors falling from the sky, enhanced by their inherent protective barrier, were incredibly powerful with each strike.

Rowling dodged the fiery meteors while also using her Noble Phantasm.

Rowling raised Excalibur high, channeling all her strength into her wrists that gripped the hilt tightly.

Then, golden specks of light appeared in the bounded field, all converging as if this supreme holy sword were their final destination.

The inherent barrier was also tinged with gold, and the radiant light condensed infinitely, eventually converging into an incomparably dazzling beam of light.

This beam of light is so special, like a tower that connects heaven and earth, past and future, sorrow and lament.

A fierce yet clear light shone all around, and the most powerful holy sword of mankind and its master exuded unparalleled divine beauty.

“Excalibur—!”

A dazzling light rose from Rowling's hand, instantly turning the entire Reality Marble into gold.

The accelerated Honkai energy transformed into a flash of light, and the surging torrent was unstoppable, splitting the flames in the Reality Barrier in two and rushing towards Thousand Tribulations!

"Aroundight, a pristine lake!"

Qianjie also took out a black sword with elven script engravings on its blade. It was the Unbreakable Lake Light, a sword entrusted to humankind by the lake spirits, just like the Sword of Excalibur.

Because they share the same origin, their "tenacity" is comparable to that of Excalibur. Furthermore, Thousand Calamities is not the kind of Servant who loses their mind. Their Noble Phantasms, both rated A++, also possess power comparable to Excalibur even when it is not unsealed.

A black and red beam of light streaked across the sky, colliding with the golden beam of light from the Sword of Excalibur.

The destructive magical aftershocks tore the world apart, sweeping outwards in all directions.

As the wave ended, Rowling no longer cared about the Honkai energy being released again, but this time the target was no longer the Holy Sword, but her feet and back.

"boom!"

A large amount of Honkai energy was released from Rowling's back, and the powerful propulsion pushed her steps to accelerate continuously. In just the moment she started, her speed had already reached an extremely powerful level—supersonic speed!

"Boom~~"

A powerful sonic boom exploded behind Rowling. The supersonic speed caused the surrounding atmospheric barrier to be completely shattered, and the powerful shockwave instantly blew away the surrounding ruins without a trace. The ground beneath her feet followed in her footsteps as soon as it shattered, and she was swept away to an unknown place.

Rowling, who was prepared, adapted to the situation instantly, and her holy sword launched an attack. However, Thousand Calamities reacted quickly and their Noble Phantasms clashed.

However, the next moment, Rowling also used her A-rank magic power to accurately strike Qianjie's chest from her right foot, sending him flying instantly.

"boom--"

The humanoid cannonball, Qian Jie, crashed headfirst into a building next to the street within his inherent barrier.

"That's great! Woman, bring on whatever tricks you have up your sleeve!"

The next second, Qianjie walked out of the building, but he didn't seem to be hurt at all. Luo Lin's attack had failed.

"..."

Seeing that Qianjie walked out as if nothing had happened, Rowling fell silent. After all, she hadn't even used Excalibur's Noble Phantasm to deal with Qianjie. If she didn't bring out a stronger trump card, she was doomed to lose.

"Woman! Bring on whatever tricks you have up your sleeve, or you won't have another chance!"

The flames on Qian Jie's body expanded once again, and his entire figure began to change. Without a doubt, Qian Jie began to collapse.

"There's no other way, we have to use another weapon!"

As for the now-powerful Thousand Calamities, Rowling also retracted the spirit form of Excalibur, and a new weapon was formed in her hand.

Chapter 150 Shining in the Gun of the End

[A gleaming spear appeared in Rowling's hand; it was none other than the Gleaming Spear of the End (Rhongomyniad)!]

At the same time, Rowling released starlight-like Honkai energy, and the heavy and solid armor re-coalesced to cover her broad chest. The new armor had also changed, and her Spirit Origin had changed from Saber to Lancer.

"Interesting, you actually changed your career!"

Seeing that Rowling had changed her profession, Qianjie's tone showed a hint of surprise. After all, he knew from the information from the Holy Grail that a Servant's profession would be occupied after their arrival, meaning that one Servant would be assigned to one position.

But now Rowling has actually changed her profession, which is what surprised Qianjie.

Rowling held a gleaming spear, its tip aimed at Thousand Calamities.

A white horse clad in armor appeared out of thin air, and the rider mounted it, his red eyes glaring sharply at Qian Jie.

"Thousand Tribulations, let's begin the second round!"

He raised the holy lance high, and his warhorse unleashed a starlight-like magic.

Rowling exuded an aura that soared to the heavens, and surging Honkai energy erupted from beneath her horse's hooves as she launched a brilliant charge directly at Qianjie.

Qianjie, naturally, was not intimidated and directly confronted Rowling head-on.

boom--

When the two collided, a powerful shockwave spread outwards, causing the soil of the ruins within the confines of the barrier to churn like waves, then surge upwards and vanish in a dazzling white light...

At this moment, a powerful airflow swept through, and within the bounded field, a towering pillar of Honkai energy burst forth from the ground, generating intense wind pressure.

It was as if the buildings in front of us were being saturated with bombs; in an instant, they were razed to the ground.

"Radiance shines even at the end of the road—"

"This is the anchor of the storm that tears the sky apart and connects the earth!"

"Thirteen restraints lifted, the Round Table trial begins!"

Then thirteen very familiar figures appeared behind Rowling.

"How could it be?! It's you guys!?"

When Qianjie saw the figure behind Luo Lin, he was completely dumbfounded. It was the Thirteen Heroes of Chasing Fire, and he himself was among them.

Many of them greeted Qian Jie upon seeing him, but the Round Table Trial had already begun.

"This is a fight for survival—Padofelis, admit it!"

"This must be a one-on-one duel—Vilvie, acknowledge it!"

"This must be a war that does not go against humanity—Gresch, acknowledge it!"

"This is not for the war against the fairies—Thousand Tribulations, admit it!"
