Chapter 399

Whether it was the mission of humanity or the Fairy Britain, she liked neither; battle was terrifying, and only an ordinary life was true happiness.

She wanted such a world, but she could not; she did not want to let everyone down...

Just like this, become a good sword.

Artoria's form gradually faded; she knew her mission was about to end.

But she... really did not want to die...!

Whether it was the world, the fairies, or humanity, she only wanted to live an ordinary life; even this... was it not allowed?

Her mission... by what right did they impose this groundless mission upon her? When had she ever agreed to it!

Grievance, sorrow, and pain—countless emotions surged into Artoria's heart, but the journey of Artoria Caster had reached its end here.

Yet she wanted to know what the light she saw, the light that watched her, truly was; but in the end, she still did not get an answer.

This was a slight regret.

"Is that so? Then it cannot end here yet."

The sound of forging struck fiercely at the tip of Artoria's heart. Senji Muramasa stood level with Artoria's figure, and he smiled.

"Why...?!" Artoria's eyes were filled with astonishment.

"What do you mean why? If there is forging to be done, isn't it my turn?" Senji Muramasa said as if it were a matter of course. "Severing fate, severing sin—my entire life has been dedicated to the blade."

"Don't you dare underestimate Senji Muramasa."

Death did not leave Artoria with tears, but at this moment, her vision was blurred by them; tears fell like broken pearls. Senji Muramasa took a step forward, and the cosmic furnace core erupted with even more violent and scorching flames!

Yet Muramasa revealed a smile.

Divine Essence, Unraveled—

Concept Completed, Converged!

Forging Technique, Critical!

This is the Ultimate, Heavenly Origin Sword Creation!

Amidst the raging fire, the sound of forging rang out, deafening!

Across the Myriad Worlds

Everyone felt their scalps tingle, their eyes trembling!

Too... too capable, right?!!!

Ahhhhh! Old Man Muramasa is too cool!!!

Sea of Stars—

Artoria gazed at the scorching flames, her heart briefly falling into peace; she couldn't help but smile.

A shining star of the earth that loses to no malice.

Not the far-off place, not the you that is me, become the sword worthy of the one who carries many wishes, returns many smiles, and looks up at the chosen land.

That's great, it's truly great, Artoria; you have completed your mission.

Artoria smiled, but not a trace of a smile could be found on the girl's face.

... Goodbye.

"It cannot end here yet." But just as the starlight and the cosmic furnace core were about to melt Artoria, a figure blocked her path.

"It cannot end here yet. Since it's sword forging, leave it to me!" Senji Muramasa stepped past Artoria.

Artoria stared blankly at the Muramasa before her.

"Alright, move aside. You've collected the iron; what comes after is the blacksmith's job." Muramasa stepped into the raging fire, and the terrifying temperature caused him to burn violently instantly!!

Yet facing this terrifying heat, Muramasa laughed out loud. "Ho! So this is the Sea of Stars and the cosmic furnace core! Just getting close makes one burn; the energy is truly vigorous."

"Now I can finally do a job I can accept. Thanks, Artoria."

A trace of reluctance flashed across Senji Muramasa's smiling face, but it vanished quickly. He said, "Being a bodyguard is a decent job, but old habits die hard."

"Compared to that, this kind of work suits me better." Accompanied by the deafening sound of forging, the flames on Senji Muramasa's body burned violently!

That body, along with that Spirit Origin, burned together at this moment!

Fate World

The Alien God U-Olga Marie fell silent.

Come to think of it, wasn't Muramasa her apostle? Why was he now forging a Holy Sword to deal with her?

Is this a causal loop???

Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya World

"Go for it, old man!" Young Gil clenched his fists, and a look of passion couldn't help but appear on his youthful face!

It seems that anyone related to Emiya Shirou is no ordinary person!

Emiya Kiritsugu, Emiya Shirou, Emiya Miyu, and now this old man!

The Emiya family is full of loyal heroes!

【

"No... no! Although I'm happy, it won't do...! Muramasa, you'll be burned to ashes!" Tears slid down Artoria's eyes; she reached out, wanting to grab Muramasa.

But she was scolded loudly by Senji Muramasa, "Fool! Do you think this old man is afraid of it!"

In his eyes, it was as if flames hotter than this cosmic furnace core were burning; his voice grew increasingly high-pitched. "The Great Iron is the blacksmith's lifelong wish; naturally, this divine fire is worth burning one's life for!"

"A forge being hot—isn't that a matter of course! Even if this Spirit Origin turns into flame, I won't stop!"

Clang—Clang!

The deafening sound of striking echoed in the Sea of Stars. Artoria's tears were baked dry the moment they fell; she sobbed, barely able to breathe. The figure throwing himself into the fire shone like the sun at this moment!

The grand, crisp sound of striking echoed. In just a moment, one of Muramasa's arms had burned away, but he laughed, "It's working! It's working! The blank is ready; watch me hammer it enough for you!"

At this moment, Artoria's body floated up, flying toward the outside. Artoria shouted, but Muramasa looked at her with a smile. "Goodbye, Child of Prophecy."

"No need to use it all up; you still have wishes you haven't fulfilled."

His life was bought by Artoria, so isn't it normal to use it to repay her?

"But you already repaid it long ago!" Artoria's eyes were filled with sorrow.

Muramasa was a person from the outside time, and still an enemy to Ritsuka and the others; so, isn't what comes after Muramasa's job?

"That's right, I have no face to see the Alien God anymore. But anyway, there's no chance to see her again." Muramasa's body continued to burn, and his expression grew increasingly gentle.

The figure in the raging fire gradually became blurred. "From the beginning, it was such a fate. But how should I put it..."

"..." Muramasa hesitated for a moment before saying it, "I didn't manage to give you the hair ornament."

Artoria's eyes widened... she could not say another word. Muramasa... thank you!

Amidst the dazzling brilliance, the crisp sound of striking grew more violent; Artoria could no longer see Muramasa's figure.

Muramasa watched Artoria, who had already left, his expression gradually calming. Then, he looked toward the depths of the Sea of Stars!

The terrifying flames continued to burn, as if expressing dissatisfaction!

It shouldn't be Senji Muramasa; it should be Artoria!

That's right, of course it's not enough! If anyone could just replace her, then Artoria's mission would be like a joke, all empty talk!

But...

"This old man came precisely to sever this fate!!" Senji Muramasa shouted!

This alone is naturally not enough, so—he must bet everything!

Senji Muramasa's body began to melt, but those eyes grew increasingly brilliant!

In the raging fire, countless swords appeared out of thin air; the sound of forging intensified—the terrifying hammering, the striking, the burning of the flames!

Then countless swords shattered, turning into fragments to continue the hammering!

Arriving here is countless research, a thousand swords as the mold, piling up mounds of swords; arriving here is much aggregation, displayed here is the wish of all things.

Gathered here is all non-karma, everything of my life.

All exist to reach this moment!!!

Senji Muramasa already understood his fate! But at this moment, he was not fighting for his own fate, but existing to sever that girl's destiny!

His Spirit Origin was that of a modern person as a vessel; to be worthy of you and this body, this old man will use this body to forge a sword to save humanity!
