Chapter 593

~6 min read 1,194 words

Dessert shop.

Most people had dispersed.

Hiratsuka Shizuo, who had arrived at some unknown time, took a trembling sip of her iced cola.

Oh my god.

She was scared witless.

This new Servant's abilities combined with their Noble Phantasm were simply unsolvable.

In this Fourth Holy Grail War, there was truly no path for a normal Servant to survive.

Even for Saber...

"Hmm?"

Someone looking at the King in the sky-curtain thought of something and asked hesitantly, "So, are you all certain Saber's true Luck parameter isn't E?"

Saber's luck was just—damn, it was incredible.

In reality, even without Avalon, Saber was one of the top-tier Servants based on strength alone.

With her renowned all-A high parameters, plus swordsmanship sufficient to be called a Sword Master, she didn't fear any Servant in a melee.

And with high-level Magic Resistance, plus her A++ rank Excalibur light-cannon, she was a hard counter to Casters and other mages.

She was a peak Servant with absolutely no shortcomings.

And yet?

Not to mention Brother Luo Shu, who was equivalent to a 'plus' version of her.

Even that Lancer guy, if things went poorly, could cripple her hand, prevent her from using Excalibur, and cause her to capsize in the gutter.

And if not for Brother Luo Shu, what would a mindless Lancelot have done?

He would have attacked Saber with absolute madness, forcing Saber to kill him and grant him release.

Facing a traitorous Lancelot with a specialized loadout, she really could have died if she were even slightly careless.

Drawing Arondight, all parameters up by one rank; encountering a Saber familiar with dragons, then—damn—up another rank.

Combined with swordsmanship that surpassed the era, if he didn't hold back in a melee, he could have bullied Saber to death.

And now, she happened to look exactly like the mother of this terrifying new Servant, who wanted to take Saber to some god's kingdom.

Wasn't that just sending Saber to the afterlife?

Even many die-hard fans of the King, recalling that bizarre streak of bad luck in the Fifth War, began to doubt reality.

Was Saber's Luck parameter, which once reached A, really not fake?

Suddenly.

Someone said softly, "Come to think of it, Saber's main battlefield weapon is actually the Holy Spear..."

At this reminder.

Many people remembered that in many past memory scenes, Saber was seen fighting with the Holy Spear.

Immediately, their hearts sank, and an ominous premonition arose as they looked at the dignified King confronting Abigail in the sky-curtain.

Damn it.

Saber wouldn't be the first to be eliminated, would she?

【Ominous magical energy, vast as the ocean, submerged everything, surging and undulating, even reaching the clouds.】

【The entire field of vision was covered in a gray haze, as if they were already in another world.】

【Under the suffocating pressure, Yano's resilient body, a hundred or a thousand times stronger than an ordinary person's, let out a groan of unbearable strain.】

【It wasn't that the Servant was intentionally suppressing them; it was simply the pressure brought about by the high-concentration magical energy, now unsuppressed and radiating naturally like a tsunami.】

【"Ho... how is this possible..."】

【Even Yano, who always wore a mask, found it hard to accept at this moment, looking in disbelief at the little girl releasing the infinite tsunami of magical energy.】

【Wasn't it Abigail?】

【How could she possibly be this strong?】

【A Heroic Spirit is a sublimation, a leap in life based on the original foundation.】

【It is an enhancement, not an addition.】

【No matter how high the legend, if they were just an ordinary person in life, they couldn't be that strong.】

【For example, Heroic Spirit Yukinoshita; her legend is effectively zero, but because she possessed extremely strong power in life, after sublimation, while her parameters are low, she is still a quite powerful existence among Servants.】

【What about the concept of the Witch Trials?】

【Abigail was just an ordinary little girl in life!】

【Yano took two steps back involuntarily, watching the bizarre, dream-like phantoms appear in the sky; the familiar buildings seemed to be receding, and even the landscape trees were gradually becoming hideous, like monsters baring their fangs and claws.】

【Sensing the familiar nature, she turned her head and said: "Be careful, Saber. Her true name may not be Abigail. This divinity..."】

【Glancing at Yingdao Mai, who was equally solemn, she continued: "... is more like an extension of some gods from the Age of Gods."】

【So that was it.】

【She finally understood.】

【Why Yingdao Mai and the King of God-Slayers came to this world.】

【It turned out that there were truly gods in their world attempting to return from the inner side of the world!】

【"Understood, Yano. Let's retreat first; this is not an opponent that can be handled normally."】

【Even facing magical energy on a scale that exceeded imagination, the silver-armored, golden-haired King did not show the slightest agitation, instead curling her lips into an excited smile.】

0... 0

【"Gods, you say?"】

【"How nostalgic."】

【The Dragon God who once died under her Holy Spear of the Star was also a high-level god with a name and reputation.】

【"Sinners who bewitched Mother... are you trying to run?"】

【In the ominous magical energy that had become almost tangible, Abigail's golden hair floated and danced as she gently pressed down with her slightly chubby little hand.】

【Suddenly.】

【"No!!!"】

【Yano and Yingdao Mai's expressions changed drastically, and they looked up at the sky in unison.】

【Unless ordered by their Master, ordinary Servants generally wouldn't intentionally attack the weak, but this Abigail clearly didn't fall into that category.】

【Unknown when.】

【The starry night had long since disappeared.】

【The sky above was less of a night sky and more of some kind of abyss—blurry, hazy, with countless light ribbons of unknown length crossing and spreading...】

【At this moment, as if sensing some command, they paused, then slowly turned, and light ribbons at least dozens of meters wide, stretching for kilometers, even tens of kilometers, aimed in unison at the ground below.】

【Exactly where they were.】

【The alarm bells in their hearts rang until they were deafening; the crisis of death completely enveloped them both.】

【It even made them hallucinate that they were already dead, seeing their own shattered corpses.】

【"Time Alter, ON!!"】

【Without time to think, Yano directly used her family's magecraft, which she hadn't even mastered, and blood spurted from her body due to the violent magical activity, instantly turning her into a bloody mess.】

【It wasn't that she had no heritage.】

【In fact, like the Shijo family, their Yukinoshita family were also inheritors of ancient mages.】

【Szz—】

【Time froze at this moment.】

【Ribbons like skyscrapers suddenly appeared in the sky above their heads.】

【The speed was too fast, exceeding visual capture.】

【The moment they saw the ribbons aimed at them, the ribbons had already launched their attack.】

【A thousandth of a second slower, and the death scene they saw would have become reality.】

【"Quick!!!"】

【Yano, covered in blood, roared through gritted teeth.】

【An inheritor of a mage is not a mage; restricting those ribbons for even a moment was already at her limit.】

【Almost at the same time.】
