Or, why don’t you find another savior?

In the end, it was still a step too late. By the time Shiomi and Morgan found Malisbury's base, it was deserted and only the aura of magic that erased all traces remained.

However, there was someone waiting there, ready to tell him something.

"What? You said Sakura fell into a trap?" Shiomi looked at Gilgamesh and Kishinami Hakuno, staring at the former suspiciously.

Gilgamesh pouted slightly and looked at Shiomi: "This is the message that the Magic King left for you. I am just passing it on."

"When did the Hero King become a messenger?" Xijian suspected a trick.

"This is just a request from that guy." Gilgamesh didn't care. "The dignified King of Magic bowed to me, so of course I have to give him some face."

His statement was full of doubts. Shiomi guessed there must be deeper reasons, but she didn't have time to ask more questions.

The Magic King's clairvoyance is genuine. The other party must have seen it and decided to tell Shiomi for some reason, which led to this situation.

"The location is the Einzbern Forest on the outskirts of Miyama Town." Kishinami Hakuno explained the situation. "It seems that the respective Masters of Rider and Assassin have joined forces to set a trap for the Master of Berserker who is being held hostage."

After hearing the news of the three parties joining forces, Shiomi could no longer sit still. After exchanging glances with Morgan beside him, he quickly ran towards the Einzbern Forest.

Chapter 43: Unlimited Swordsmanship

"...Steel is my body, and fire is my blood..."

Archer continued to chant the spell.

But Berserker obviously won't give him time to prepare leisurely. The completely out-of-control Berserker will fight until his magic power is exhausted or he kills all the enemies in front of him.

Even with Saber and Morgan drawing attention, Hercules would still attack Archer's side.

After he broke free from Morgan's chains, he charged at Archer.

Archer barely avoided the falling red giant axe and dodged backwards, projecting his usual black bow.

"Run and bite! Scarlet Hound! 'Hrunting'!"

Archer responded with a low voice, and shot out a thorny black arrow.

That is the weapon of the Norse hero, Beowulf.

Archer transformed it into an arrow, and as long as the archer survives, it will continue to pursue the target no matter how many times it is shot down. It is a perfect weapon to hinder Berserker.

The "Akahara Hound" failed to penetrate Berserker's body and was instead bounced away.

The arrow, which had no chance of killing its target, rushed towards Berserker again as if it had its own mind, but was knocked down by the powerful axe and flew towards the forest in a parabola.

Archer subconsciously turned his head to see where the arrow had landed, but the "Akahara Hound" had landed in someone's hands.

The young man standing next to Sakura held the "Akahara Hound" like a long sword.

"It's a good weapon, but it's not enough. It needs to be like this to penetrate Berserker's defense." Shiomi smiled.

Runes spread out from his hand, entwined around the "Akahara Hound", and then suddenly attached themselves to it.

Shiomi rushed to Berserker at lightning speed, which was too dangerous. Berserker could grab him and crush Shiomi's body with his huge palm if he stretched out his hand.

"What a speed..." Archer secretly admired.

He saw Shiomi stab the "Akahara Hound" into Berserker's chest, then turned over and kicked the hilt with his foot, not only pushing the shallowly embedded "Akahara Hound" deeper, but also using it as a power source to escape Berserker's attack range.

"He's completely out of control." Shiomi landed beside Archer, sighing with a helpless smile.

Even though his heart was pierced, Berserker did not die. Instead, he entered the resurrection stage and became more and more frantic, as if he had been given a shot of cardiotonic.

The blood oozing from his chest quickly evaporated in the surging magic power and turned into a blood mist that enveloped his body, making this great Greek hero look even more ominous.

"SpeardWater!"

Shiomi summoned a magic spear, spun it a few times in his hand, and then stabbed it into the soil in front of him.

The ground in front of the Einzbern Castle, which was far away from the confluence, suddenly dropped dramatically, turning into a trap that was too big for Berserker.

Not only that, cold water surged out from the surrounding earth walls and quickly swallowed Berserker.

"So that's how it is, using softness to overcome hardness." Archer understood.

Even though Berserker's power was extremely strong, without a foothold and surrounded by fluid, he couldn't fully exert his strength in a short period of time.

"Keep chanting. Together, our means of breaking through the defense and killing are somewhat limited. If we want to take Berserker away completely, we will need to borrow your trump card."

Shiomi has learned the magical nature of Archer through Morgan's telepathic message.

And this was Archer's original plan.

“…I have created over a thousand blades,

Unknown to Death, nor known to Life…”

Archer continued his chant.

Shiomi slowly walked forward and looked at Hercules struggling in the water.

At first, he tried to break free from the swirling water, but after just a few seconds, Hercules seemed to have noticed the change in the environment. As the water in the puddle, which was swirling due to magic power, returned to the center, he suddenly sank.

"Is that guy really a berserker?" Xi Jian's pupils suddenly contracted.

He saw Berserker reach the bottom of the water and lower his entire body.

Just when Shiomi was planning to use local materials to turn the water in the pool into solid ice, a black magic spear stretched out from the side and pointed at the pool of water.

The crystal clear water froze into solid ice in an instant, trapping the hunched Berserker inside. The ice surface still maintained the turbulent whirlpool shape of the previous second.

"My husband, don't be careless. Berserker is no longer a Servant in the ordinary sense."

Morgan said this while maintaining the ice magic. She intended to use this as a foundation to seal Berserker into the "coffin" and try to kill Hercules one more time.

"……husband?"

Saber Mordred ran over to check the situation, and was stunned when she heard Morgan's words.

Regardless of why the queen mother appeared here, she suddenly called this young man "my husband".

Mordred had seen Sakura's photo at Shiomi's house before and knew that he was the Master's father.

Wouldn't that be...

"The Master and I are bound by giri—?"

Just as Mordred was distracted by the sudden ethical dilemma, the ice in the deep pit was already becoming restless, and cracks began to appear on the ice surface uncontrollably.

Morgan tried to speed up the transformation into a "coffin". The ice surface had completely shattered, as if a bomb had exploded from the bottom, and countless ice blocks were shaken into the sky.

Berserker is in those ice cubes.

He actually used brute force to break free from his restraints and used the nearby ice blocks as slingshots to throw at them one by one.

"『Earth-shattering Jaw』!"

Shiomi hugged Morgan around the waist, and the spear swept across the ground. The soil rose up and turned into a wall, blocking the flying ice cubes.

At this moment, Archer's chant reached the last verse.

"...So as I pray, Unlimited Blade Works."

Following the final spell, flames roaming the ground formed like a boundary, encompassing all the people in the square in front of the castle.

Shiomi, Morgan, Saber, Sakura, Rin, and Berserker who is about to land.

The color of fire filled the sight, covering the entire square, and this place was instantly transformed into a different world.

What appeared before everyone's eyes was a blazing flame and countless huge gears rotating in the air.

The wasteland seemed to have no end, and everywhere you looked were ownerless swords.

Those weapons arrayed on the ground are all famous swords.

All the weapons he used were woven from this world.

This is exactly the essence of magic that Morgan saw through from the beginning.

Endless weapon projections.

This is Archer's true exclusive Noble Phantasm.

Its name is——

"Unlimited Blade Works".

Berserker roared from the other side through the countless weapons.

"Inherent barrier... Come to think of it, I also used this kind of place to fight the enemy during the last Holy Grail War."

Xi Jian was not surprised at all. He reached out and pulled out a long sword on the ground. He stood in front of the crowd and pointed at the Greek hero who was running wild in the distance.

Chapter 1: Offensive ()

"But speaking of which, this is truly an incredible wilderness... This is the destination you once reached, Archer."

Shiomi reached out and casually pulled out the unknown sword in front of him, then raised it and pointed it at the Berserker in the distance.

His tone was neither shock nor question, but rather a slight sigh of emotion.

"Perhaps." Archer stepped forward. "In my previous life, I was neither a swordsman nor an archer, but a magician. I don't have a holy sword or a magic sword. If I must say, this world is the only treasure I am allowed to possess."

The essence of this world is to copy the weapons and treasures you see and then store them.

As magicians, whether it is Shiomi, Morgan, Rin or Sakura, after seeing this world, they gradually realized its nature as an inherent barrier.

"So, your real name is—" Shiomi was slightly curious.

Archer did not intend to answer truthfully: "Don't worry, I am just a nameless guardian. There is nothing that makes me regret this time, so my real name is of no value. If you must call me, just call me Wuming."

"Wuming... is it the symbol of the unknown hero?" Xi understood and stopped asking questions.

After he glanced at Rin and Sakura behind him, he could already hear the sound of Berserker running and roaring.

There is no time to arrange specific tactics. Everyone is not a rookie with no combat experience. They don't need Shiomi to teach them what they can and should do.

"If you want to fight Berserker, it would be better to use this weapon." Archer said, and a sharp long sword was inserted into the ground in front of Shiomi. "'Durandal' is an A-level treasure. With your power, I believe it can break through the defense of that great hero."

After taking a look, Xi Jian did not pick it up, but summoned the second magic gun.

"Let's talk about it later. I have my own weapons." said Shiomi.

"Gae Bolg?" Archer recognized it at a glance, but found that there were some differences in the details.

"This is the Alternative of the prototype!"

After Shiomi finished speaking, he rushed out and engaged in close combat with Berserker who had already approached him.

A battle that was close to destroying the world broke out between the two sides on this sword hill.

"Is that guy really a human?" Mordred no longer cared about anything else and stared at the battle in astonishment.

She realized that if she were to face Xiomi, she would probably not be able to gain the upper hand.

"He is a human, but he has already surpassed humans." Morgan raised his hand and prepared to perform another magic trick. "Most of the heroes in human history have been surpassed by him."

"That's too much praise!"

Shiomi's voice came from afar.

He leaped high into the air, dodged Hercules' slash, and taking advantage of a flaw in the opponent's posture, threw the two guns in his hands one after another and released his real name.

Even after going berserk, the mind and vision honed through long battles had not disappeared, and the magic spear that always hits the target was definitely something Hercules could not avoid.

What's more, on top of this, there is Morgan's magic.

An explosion that shook the entire inherent barrier swept over. Morgan gently raised his hand and cut the wind pressure, leaving a still calm area.

In the tentative first battle, Berserker's body was pierced through the neck by the magic spear, which penetrated deep into his body, leaving scars all over his body from the magic bombardment.

Looking at the motionless Berserker, everyone knew that this time the Berserker was really killed and would be resurrected soon.

Alternative will no longer work on Berserkers.

After falling back to the group, Shiomi slid on the ground and pulled out the "Indestructible Supreme Saint" that Archer had placed there just now.

The projected Noble Phantasm, with Archer's permission, plus the original rune.

It is possible to achieve the same power as the original owner after completely liberating his true name.

Mordred was so excited that he shouted to Sakura: "Master! Give me magic power! It's my turn!"

"Well, the battle is up to you, Saber!"
