Chapter 181

【"Listen well."】

【"As long as you use this arm once, Archer's magic circuits will activate."】

【"At that time, because it can't withstand so much magical energy, your body will start to collapse from the inside."】

【"Then what is this piece of cloth..."】

【Yukinoshita Yukino is confused, touching the blood-colored bandage (Shroud of Martin) on her left arm.】

【"It's a seal."】

【Luo Shu gives the answer.】

【"I see... thank you, Shu."】

【The girl is somewhat dejected; although her life was saved, she lost the use of her arm.】

【If the attached arm cannot be used, wouldn't her combat power drop significantly?】

【In the upcoming brutal battle, can she play a role?】

【"Don't think so much."】

【Luo Shu says softly, his eyes flickering, seeing the confusion in her heart.】

【Immediately, his expression becomes much gentler; he smiles brightly, gently strokes Yukino's head, and tells the story of Black Archer's endgame.】

【From being weak and powerless, growing step by step.】

【Killing him, killing Kaguya.】

【Walking the path of justice alone, but justice is a human concept, not a natural thing; the end of the extreme must be distortion.】

【"What can I do now?"】

【Yukino is confused, feeling cold.】

【Whether wanting to become an "ally of justice" or to protect Luo Shu, power is an indispensable thing.】

【Kaguya, Black Saber, and the Golden Archer are also people who must be defeated.】

【But... to fight in her current state is just suicide.】

【She fears death, but she can also die, yet she must never die meaninglessly!】

【"I have a way."】

【Luo Shu walks over, leans against the girl's ear, and says something silently.】

【Yukino's ears turn red instantly, and she stands up, her temperament like a plum blossom braving the snow.】

【"Do you want to refuse?"】

【"Or do you hate me?"】

【Luo Shu looks at her calmly; Yukino is speechless, looking at him with a blushing face for a long time.】

【This method is indeed feasible; the two share magical energy. With Luo Shu's energy, he could even let her open Unlimited Blade Works while projecting Noble Phantasms for Broken Phantasm... incredibly fierce.】

【However, isn't this method a bit...】

"Ah, this, it's 'mana replenishment,' right?"

"Isn't it just a little kiss, is it worth being this shy?"

In reality, many people complain about 387.

With the relationship you two have, doing this kind of thing is very normal.

【Under the curious gazes of the twin maids, the two walk into the bedroom.】

【And then... those who know, know.】

What the hell?!

Watching the screen suddenly go black, people widen their eyes, realizing it's not that simple.

So it wasn't that kind of mana replenishment?

You have such good stuff and you don't show it to the bros?

"I'm almost an adult, let me see what's wrong with that! (Loudly)."

Sato Kazuma is sour, envious, and jealous; his eyes are red with envy.

【A long time later, Luo Shu comes out of the room holding his waist, teeth bared.】

【As expected of a half-Heroic Spirit body, she's really fierce...】

【"Yukino, make some wolfberry and yam stewed mutton."】

【He looks at the somewhat shy girl, his teeth chattering.】

【"Mm..."】

【Yukino lowers her head and goes out to tell the twin maids to buy some things.】

【Luo Shu takes a deep breath; after helping Yukino enhance her combat power, he begins to consider how to avoid the ending of Black Archer's world line.】

【Jewel Magecraft...?】

【Martial arts...?】

【Mystic Eyes of Death Perception...?】

【Seems like none of it is useful.】

【Suddenly.】

【"Jeweled Sword!"】

【Luo Shu's eyes light up, thinking of the design drawings left by his ancestors.】

【That is the Mystic Code held by the Wizard Marshal, the pinnacle of Mystic Codes with the Second Magic as its limited function, capable of sharing and using infinite parallel world magical energy.】

【If he can obtain that, there should be hope to avoid the ending of dying together with Kaguya.】

【He had once tried to replicate the Jeweled Sword using the design drawings.】

【But the effect was very unsatisfactory.】

【But now he has Yukino.】

【With her miraculous "Projection Magecraft" attainments, it is possible to replicate the Jeweled Sword.】

In reality, people whisper to each other.

"Jeweled Sword, what kind of divine artifact is this again?!"

"Don't know, duck."

"Can borrow infinite parallel world magical energy, sounds like..."

"Approximately equal to an infinite mana bar?"

"Refer to Black Saber, infinite magic cannon, even Berserker was defeated."

"Hiss, I get the concept now!"

"The Wizard Marshal is simply a treasure trove."

"As expected of a Magician who can even show his face in 'Notes'."

"So... was Luo Shu drained dry by Yukino?"

"Lol, you old pervert, why are you focusing on this? Aren't divine artifacts better?"

"I just want the lewd stuff!"

"If Yukino can project the Jeweled Sword, then the chances of winning are very high, right?"

【"Failed."】

A somewhat dejected voice echoes through the Sky Screen. Instantly, people's discussions stop abruptly, and they watch in astonishment.

【"...... ust imagining it based on the design drawings, it really is difficult."】

【Luo Shu rests his chin on his thumb, deep in thought, "After all, even in the inheritance of the Shinomiya lineage, it belongs to the secret treasure among secret treasures, but fighting Kaguya without it is probably impossible."】

【"Sorry." Beside him, Yukinoshita Yukino is somewhat apologetic.】

【"No... it's nothing, there is another way."】

【Luo Shu smiles gently and elegantly, stroking Yukino's cheek softly, "Borrowing the memories of the Einzberns, as well as the memories flowing in the ley lines of this land, to project the Jeweled Sword."】

【"With Yukino's intelligence, when she sees the Jeweled Sword with her own eyes, she will definitely be able to copy it."】

【"Hmm?"】

【Yukino tilts her head.】

【Long after, under Luo Shu's leadership, Yukino and the pink-haired homunculus from the Einzbern castle arrive at a secret underground chamber with a long history, the surrounding candlesticks lighting up with faint firelight, and a mysterious magic circle carved on the ground.】

【In a dust-covered box, Luo Shu takes out a mercury sword from the red cloth and hands it over.】

【"This is made by imitating the Gem Sword, it can be used to assist your projection."】

【"Mm."】

【Yukino nods, taking it calmly.】

【Luo Shu had already told her the detailed process, just need to discard distracting thoughts and do it.】

【"Miss Yukino, it's about to start."】

【The pink-haired maid is somewhat solemn, placing her hand on Yukino's shoulder.】

【As Yukino closes her eyes, the magical energy flow in the dark continuously gathers in her mind.】

【Her vision gradually turns black.】

The surging BGM background music reveals a simple, heavy feeling.】

The waves hit the beach, and the sand grains are particularly beautiful under the sunlight, making people unable to help but immerse themselves in the screen.】

Ancient memories, past times, the figures of three mages... finally emerge before everyone's eyes.】

That was five hundred years ago.】

A moving story.】

It was the ancestors of the Matou family, the Einzbern family, and the Four Palace family; two men and one woman, in order to pursue a common great ideal, experienced countless hardships, and under the witness of the Wizard Marshal Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg,】

created the story of the Holy Grail in the bunker.】

The image of the Wizard Marshal appeared in the eyes of people of all countries for the first time.】

Looking at the white-haired old man standing at the high place of the bunker, wearing a brown-red cloak, with a calm face.】

Many people show respect.】

This damn, it fits the image of a serious and wise elder in their imagination too well.】

【Yukinoshita Yukino is also staring at him seriously, accurately speaking, the sword in his chest clothes.】

【--Gem Sword (Zelretch)!】

【"I believe in your philosophy, to reach the Root... Four Palace, Einzbern, Matou, the three families will join hands to open the road!"】

【The Wizard Marshal stares at the three, his expression calm, "State what you can provide."】

【"The Four Palace family provides the spiritual land used to set up the Holy Grail."】

【A young man with long hair like a waterfall walks forward, his eyes firm, revealing the unique enthusiasm of a warrior.】

【"The Matou family provides the Command Spells used to bind the Servant as a sacrifice."】

【A young man with blue hair and a hairstyle like seaweed walks up, plain, light, but his tone also reveals a clanging and powerful feeling.】

【That firm and persistent feeling seems not to lose to Yukino who wants to become an ally of justice.】

"Heroic Spirits are sacrifices."

Beika Town, Officer Megure frowns, chewing on this incredibly terrifying information.】

So... the Holy Grail actually made a false promise to the Throne of Heroes, deceived these Heroic Spirits over, and used their souls or something else as energy to realize wishes, is that it?】

【"The Einzbern family provides the magic circle used to reach the Third Magic."】

【Like a saint, a white-haired woman who is snow-white and noble walks forward.】

【"Good... I, Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg, will witness and preside over it."】

【The Wizard Marshal's expression is a bit more serious, standing in front of the stage, his eyes sharper than a hawk's.】

【Immediately, the white-haired woman walks to the dark and deep stone platform, lying down with a calm face; accompanied by a roaring loud noise, as if a crane is continuously pressing down, a huge stone pillar suddenly falls.】

【Looking at the giant object smashing down, the white-haired woman smiles, excitement as if she had fulfilled her wish.】

【This is the ending a sacrifice should have.】

【"Thump!"】

【Amidst the blue-haired seaweed-headed youth's sorrow, a crisp crushing sound explodes.】

【On the stone platform, dripping blood slides down, merging into the magic circle underground.】

【Countless orange lights rise in the magic patterns, shocking and grand!】

【The Wizard Marshal is calm, taking out a sword blade with multi-faceted gems, as beautiful as a rainbow, gently pointing at the profound stone pillar.】

【"Hoo..."】

【In an instant, Yukino's pupils shrink violently, her breathing unable to help but accelerate.】

【Sealed by the Shroud of Martin, the origin of the sword that was delaying its awakening is awakening.】

【Saw it...】

【That sword.】

Clatter!】

Flashing white light suddenly spreads all over the Sky Curtain.】

【The next day, Luo Shu silently puts away the Gem Sword and puts it into his back pocket.】

【In the kitchen, Yukinoshita Yukino, who looks like a cook wearing an apron, smiles gently, bringing out the steaming nourishing health soup.】

【The atmosphere is surprisingly somewhat happy and peaceful.】

【Seems to be because she obtained the secret weapon to deal with Kaguya.】

【Although it is a low-quality product barely projected.】

【Can only borrow the power of herself from a parallel world, not the great source of magical energy of the whole parallel world...】

【But... it's enough!】

【Afterward.】

【As if to make up for the regrets of childhood, two figures shuttle through the ruins of the city.】

【Riding a carousel in the park, drifting in the big river, swimming in the crater that hit groundwater.......】

【Until dusk, sitting on the tilted building, the two quietly watch the sunset.】

【Suddenly.】

【"Rumble...!!"】

【More than ten kilometers of air shock, the earth sinks.】

【The mountains originally surrounding the Yuanzang Mountain slowly sink, forming a deep abyss.】

【An incredibly terrifying aura spreads, carrying a gloomy taste.】

【Before reacting, a pagoda built of seemingly infinite pitch-black branches slowly rises, as if containing all the killing intent, evil intent, and greed in pan-human history... thick shadows cover everything.】

【As if its existence is exposing the sins committed by primates from ancient times to the present.】

【Black as jade, texture like blood, like a tide flooding towards the moon.】

【Then, inserting into the firmament upside down...!】

Holy shit?!

The next moment, people gasp in shock.】

【The clouds are pierced, opening a big hole of dozens of kilometers!】

【As if more than half of the sky is torn, countless brilliant starlight falls, the whole Fuyuki City is illuminated dazzlingly, incredibly shocking.】

【"That is..."】

【Luo Shu's gaze is solemn.】

【Looking at the center of the pagoda, that holy and round white sphere.】

【It is the true body of the Fuyuki Greater Holy Grail!】

【Sure enough...】

【Kaguya.】

【Your purpose is not the Holy Grail at all.】

【This is also a matter of course; with your wisdom, how could you not know that the Holy Grail also has limits.】

【If so, it's no wonder that the arrogant King would stand on Kaguya's Reverse Reverse Side.】

【For that aloof King.】

【All this is just a trial bestowed upon humanity.】
