Artoria watched as Archer lowered his twin swords, her wariness intensifying.
She is not afraid of Archer, who fights with dual swords.
What she feared was Archer taking over the identity of Archer and fighting with a bow and arrow, and then relentlessly firing at Shirou once the opponent created distance...
Even with her swordsmanship, she couldn't guarantee that she could protect Shirou Emiya.
She was still unsure whether the red-clad knight before her, Shirou Emiya from another world, still possessed the magical power within him enough to use the Noble Phantasm that had taken Berserker's life.
Archer finally remembered that he was an archer and no match for Saber in swordsmanship, so he decided to fight in the way he was best at.
"Let me show you my essence. This is what I can do."
A surge of magical power overflowed from Archer's body. Although he had injured an arm in the previous battle with Cú Chulainn, he still had plenty of magical power absorbed from Medea.
"The greatest return gift I can give you. My only goal now is to kill [Teacher] Shirou Emiya. If you try to stop me, I will show no mercy, even if it means becoming your enemy in this world."
After the long and short incantations are finished, the magic tricks performed with such long incantations must be amazing.
Rin Tohsaka stared in disbelief at Archer, Shirou. Shirou was casting magic. Wasn't Shirou only good at projection and enhancement magic?
A ball of crimson flame exploded from Archer's feet and shot out in all directions.
A wall of flames surrounded the area.
The surrounding space underwent a dramatic transformation, with countless pebbles and tiles appearing beneath everyone's feet.
Everyone was no longer inside the Holy Church, but had entered the inherent barrier possessed by Archer.
Endless dark clouds and the light of dusk fell upon the earth, and the world of the Graveyard of Countless Swords that Rin Tohsaka had seen in her dreams appeared.
"A Reality Marble!? A forbidden spell that materializes mental landscapes and erodes the real world. In other words, you're not an archer, nor Saber, you're a magician!"
“That’s right. Before I was born, as a Heroic Spirit, I was a magician.” Archer stood on the Plain of Swords, looking calmly at Shirou Emiya, who was still kneeling beside him.
Hmph, isn't that amazing?
"Archer, your Noble Phantasm is this?" Artoria was stunned.
Iskandar the Conqueror possesses a natural barrier, a divinely bestowed oxcart, and divinely crafted weapons.
Archer's Noble Phantasm is surprisingly only a Reality Marble.
"Because I have neither a holy sword nor a demonic sword [I have Alaya]. All I have is this world. If Noble Phantasms are the symbols of Heroic Spirits, then this Reality Marble is my Noble Phantasm."
Any weapon I've seen its prototype can be copied and stored here—that's who I am. As a Heroic Spirit.
The ability.
"Did you die in this desolate wilderness, Archer...?" Looking at the barren land around him, how was the iron sword stuck in the ground any different from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood he had seen before his death?
These iron swords are like the lives that have been lost, like the corpses scattered across the wilderness.
At the top of the sky, a gigantic gear keeps turning, its immense size seemingly telling everyone that Archer is a gear running in this world.
Perhaps for Alaya, this is an essential component for the continuation of human reason.
The gears keep turning forever, and Archer's mission will never end, until humanity becomes extinct.
"Hmph, you dare to say that, Saber. Do you want to try? I can also copy your holy sword for you."
Archer proudly reveals his secret technique to Saber.
Did you see Saber?
The ordinary boy you saved back then can now stand proudly before you.
Instead of rushing to attack, he began to explain. Shirou Emiya, with his back to Rin Tohsaka, stared in disbelief at the surrounding scenery, the scenery that had appeared in his mind earlier.
Emiya Shirou's headache intensified, his heart pounded in his chest, and the incantations for Unlimited Blade Works and other magic spells flashed through his mind.
I know what this unusual magic is, and I can understand it.
This magic trick looks incredibly amazing; I shouldn't be able to understand it. But I can figure it out.
Understanding the Reality Marble displayed by Archer before him, magic, comprehension, interpretation—a single glance gave him a vague idea of how to use Unlimited Blade Works.
Archer, the master of transmitting skills.
The names of the countless swords stuck in the ground flashed before Shirou Emiya's eyes, and the vast amount of memories made his brain boil.
These swords on the earth are all famous swords, not ordinary iron!
This is the furnace of the world, a forge capable of producing countless swords, and the raging flames burning at the edge of the world are the furnace itself.
Shirou Emiya understood where he fell short of Archer.
He projected Gan Jiang and Mo Xie, while Archer forged Gan Jiang and Mo Xie directly in his inner world.
An endless array of swords—these are the things Archer witnessed as he traveled through singularities and battlefields across different eras. The owners of these famous swords must have all fought against Shirou Emiya, the guardian.
A knight in a crimson coat stood at the center of the world of swords, like the king of all swords.
The man who infuriated me and whom I utterly despised was incredibly strong, truly powerful, unimaginably so.
"I didn't bring many weapons." Rin Tohsaka couldn't help but recall that phrase. Archer was such a big liar! He'd completely fooled her.
Does "not bringing much" mean the whole world?
“My holy sword…you mean, do you know its true nature, Archer?” Artoria realized she had asked a foolish question.
The other party is Shirou Emiya, her master from another world, although she has no memories of Shirou Emiya in front of her.
What kind of grueling battles did I and Shirou Emiya go through in that other world...?
"Of course. Although the level is so high that a complete copy is impossible, it can be made almost identical to the original. However, if that happens, how will the humans around survive if the two holy swords clash?"
"What—! Archer, you...!" This made Saber afraid to unleash the true name of her Noble Phantasm to break through the Reality Marble.
She feared that Archer, who was now determined to kill Shirou Emiya, would actually do so.
"That's right. Even if you're wrong, don't use the Holy Sword, Saber. Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to resist."
In that time, it won't be us who disappear, but the humans around us.
"Because you'd sacrifice yourself to protect that kid, right? To me, projecting the Holy Sword is nothing short of self-destruction." Archer looked calmly at Saber.
If he says that, Saber will definitely not use her Noble Phantasm to shatter the Reality Marble.
Then he would have ample time to instruct the clueless Shirou Emiya on how to use Unlimited Blade Works.
Archer breathed a sigh of relief at not sensing Gilgamesh or Cú Chulainn's presence.
The worst thing would be if a troublemaker appeared now.
That arrogant, disdainful King Pikachu is probably recovering his magical power now. His body, injured by Berserker, needs some time to heal.
"In that case, only Saber will survive, which would be pointless."
....................
....................
Bless this beautiful world.
"Whoa whoa whoa—! What, what kind of magic is this!?" Megumin's eyes widened, her hands clasped together, staring intently at Archer's Reality Marble like a girl worshipping an idol. So cool, so awesome!
"Is the purpose of a magic Reality Marble to place someone in a world created by the other party? Is that all it does?"
Huihui was increasingly looking forward to seeing what kind of cool and stylish moves Archer would unleash within his Reality Marble.
Although projecting swords and shooting spiral swords are not as cool as using explosive magic!
She always believed that Archer had the potential to become a burst mage, and that he could use his skills in ordinary battles.
When fighting enemies from a distance, Mo Xie simply raises her hand and unleashes a burst of magic to shatter them!
Yes, the clever magical girl Illya doesn't know explosion magic.
Otherwise, Gilgamesh and Shinji Matou could be sent to their deaths with a single burst spell.
"I don't know, I have absolutely no idea what special abilities Archer's Reality Marble has. I remember seeing Archer walking here with swords stuck all over his body in Rin Tohsaka's dream world before." Kazuma Sato shouted excitedly in his heart, "This is the kind of magic I want to learn, it's so cool!"
Whether you're trying to look cool in front of pretty girls or using them to intimidate enemies, this world with its countless swords is amazing.
"Could it be that the swords Archer directly projected were all taken from this world!? So, even though he hasn't formed a contract with his master, he still has magical power to project weapons."
"This is highly likely. Since it's Archer's Noble Phantasm, it must be very powerful. Although he said he didn't have a holy sword or a demonic sword, he's already powerful enough! The quality of these swords stuck in the ground is excellent. They're just as famous as the knight's sword in my hand, forged with super-hard metal and by a master craftsman."
As Darkness gazed at the countless famous swords stuck in the ground, a scene flashed through her mind.
Archer has fought against countless powerful Sabers in various timelines, and the swords recorded here must all belong to those Sabers!
Archer, who has extensive experience fighting Saber, is no match for Artoria Pendragon...?
"Amazing! Archer's abilities are incredible! Let me be your master! With your projection abilities and my vast magical power... hehehehe." Aqua's face lit up with excitement as she jumped up, two feather fans appearing in her hands. "Flowers, Birds, Wind, and Moon!"
A dozen tiny streams of water appeared on the light blue feather fan, and she excitedly shouted, "Project Darkness's expensive armor and weapons, and Megumin's magic wand, and sell them to adventurers at prices lower than the original price!"
In any case, the adventurers couldn't tell the difference between the projected equipment and the real thing. "I'm rich! I'm rich!! High-grade sparkling wine, the rise of the Axis Order...! Today is the day my destiny will change!"
Aqua jumped around excitedly in the living room of the mansion, knowing that she would soon be living in a more luxurious house and would never have to take on dangerous missions again.
She could also use a large sum of money to hire adventurers to defeat the Demon King, allowing her to return to the Celestial Realm smoothly.
Aqua directly opened the Gate to the World and headed to Fuyuki City, where Archer was located.
Moreover, she had even prepared a backup plan—if Archer didn't work, she would ask the kind-hearted Emiya Shirou for help.
Fate/stay night, UBW timeline.
Looking at Archer on the screen, Shirou Emiya was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode. Did this guy look down on me that much?!
His teeth were practically grinding to dust, and this was happening right in front of Rin Tohsaka and Saber, where Archer was rubbing his teeth into the ground.
Watching what was happening from God's perspective made Shirou Emiya realize how annoying his other self was, how he could easily take care of himself but just wouldn't.
Isn't this bullying?!
Is it really that fun to bully high school students?
"If Shirou becomes a teacher in the future, he'll definitely be the strictest and most impartial teacher, so harsh on himself!" Fujimura Taiga realized that Archer's expectations for Shirou were far too high!
She could understand Shirou's desire to quickly improve his abilities, as he was an ordinary high school student living in a peaceful country.
But as a teacher, she still couldn't accept this Spartan-style education!
She knew that improving Shirou Emiya's strength was now urgent and needed to be done as quickly as possible. Otherwise, if the counterfeit Gilgamesh and Kirei Kotomine's plan were completed, it would cause even greater disaster, or it would be too late to become stronger by then.
It's perfectly normal for ideals to be immature! How old is Shirou Emiya right now? If he wants his ideals to mature, he'll have to wait until he graduates from university, right?
Her younger brother, Shirou Emiya, is already much more mature than his peers.
"Shirou is already much more capable than his peers! Tohsaka-san, people like him are extremely rare. Shirou works part-time at various places after school, and he's already gained some experience in society."
However, she also enjoys teasing her adorable younger brother Shirou, but unlike Archer, she doesn't constantly use sharp tongues or resort to physical violence...
Taiga Fujimura felt that if Shirou Emiya in the scene didn't perform well, he might actually be defeated by Archer.
If the grown-up Shirou thinks that his younger self was useless and unable to defeat the enemy, he might just break Shirou's legs and throw him somewhere!
"It's alright, Shirou. I believe that when you grow up, you would never kill your other self. Because doing so would make me, as your older sister, very sad!"
Fujimura Taiga stood up, patted the orange peel off his legs, and said, "I'm going to the Tohsaka residence. I need to speak with Shirou, now that he's grown up!"
Honestly, this child has come all the way to Fuyuki City, yet he doesn't even visit Kiritsugu's grave.
Let's go down and take a look.
She was going to take the Heroic Spirit Shirou Emiya to visit Kiritsugu's grave, have a chat with him, and let him see that his son had grown into a great man!
"Sherong, he can actually use such forbidden magic!? This is beyond genius... Is this the kind of magic that a hard-working genius developed on his own...?!" Luvia stared at the screen in disbelief, utterly astonished.
As far as she knew, no human possessed a fixed barrier, and no human magician could directly alter the world.
Wouldn't this be suppressed by the power of the world?!
[Only Shirou Emiya, when he activates his Reality Marble, is not suppressed by the World Force; instead, the World Force deliberately ignores him. The others are the best employee under the Counter Force, Alaya—the man with the highest performance and strongest achievements.]
"Hmm... While this isn't a particularly powerful magic, it's very rare. So rare that, as far as I know, only those who become Dead Apostles or True Ancestors can develop a Reality Marble. But the effect of a Reality Marble is far inferior to the World of Swords that Shirou Emiya possesses. The World of Swords is quite outstanding in combat."
Bazett sat calmly on the cushion, holding the tea jar that Shirou Emiya had prepared.
"Is it...is it such an amazing magic trick?" Shirou Emiya asked, turning around after a moment of surprise.
Archer is another version of himself from another world. If he could learn Reality Marble even with his poor magical talent... then it shouldn't be a very difficult magic, right?
For Shirou Emiya, healing magic is the most difficult kind of magic.
