Chapter 525

Rin Tohsaka: "The four rules of the village—I almost forgot about them."

Shishigou Kairi: "These rules probably have some connection to the village's plan."

Waver: "What is the significance of these rules..."

【A moment later, Waver finally came back to his senses, and his mind seemed to have an idea.】

【"Gray, since you intend to meet King Arthur's mind, I want to ask you for a favor."】

【Then, he quietly told Gray a piece of content, making Gray blink repeatedly.】

【Gray: "Although I can do it, is it okay for me to say it?"】

【Waver: "This matter must be entrusted to you. If you say it, it should be more effective than if I speak. This might be a quite dangerous gamble, but to break the current situation, it's unavoidable."】

【Gray: "..... I understand."】

Illya: "What are you doing, what are you doing? Why are you acting like a riddle-maker again?"

Shishigou Kairi: "He seems to have thought of something."

Rin Tohsaka: "Huh? Why didn't I discover anything?"

Iskandar: "Kid, can you reveal a little?"

Waver: "..."

Don't call him; he doesn't know what his future self thought of either.

【At the same time, a flash of light suddenly swept past outside the temple.】

【Waver and the others were instantly attracted, hurriedly running out of the temple to check, and saw an unbelievable scene.】

【I saw that right next to the temple, two forces were confronting each other.】

【One side needs no explanation—it was the masked girl manipulating dozens of skeleton soldiers.】

【The masked girl was wearing armor at this moment, like a general responsible for commanding on an ancient battlefield, but with that terrifying metal mask, she also looked like a witch looking down on the world.】

【And the one confronting the masked girl was naturally the two from the Holy Church.】

【They didn't know when they had fought their way here.】

【However, the problem now lies in the spear held by the masked girl.】

【Surrounded by strong black magic, several sharp spikes like fangs extended from the external decoration. Although the appearance was completely different, it looked very similar to the Holy Spear.】

【Gray: "Black... Holy Spear!"】

【Gray seemed to know this thing, but she didn't expect it to appear before her eyes.】

【No, in a sense, isn't this a natural development?】

【Since she is King Arthur's body and the masked girl is King Arthur's mind, giving the same spear to both of us is the natural law.】

Shishigou Kairi: "Hey, hey, is it really the Holy Spear?"

Rin Tohsaka: "How is that possible! That black spear body, and those dense spikes—how does it look like the Holy Spear!"

Artoria: "... No, that is indeed the Holy Spear."

Rin Tohsaka: "???"

Extra Feng Xi: "It's the Holy Spear after reversal."

Rin Tohsaka: "Reversal?"

Extra Feng Xi: "So-called reversal refers to the completely opposite situation. Taking a person as an example, it means a personality change—from gentle to violent. The term is corruption."

Illya: "Corruption? Can a spear be corrupted too?"

Extra Feng Xi: "Of course it can. Aren't weapons divided into divine weapons and demonic weapons?"

Waver: "In other words, those villagers copied a reversed Holy Spear."

Kayneth: "Hmph, I said it already—don't jump to conclusions too early, just keep watching."

【Waver: "What is going on?"】

【Gray: "It is said that the spear I hold was originally the shadow of the subject."】

【Waver: "I see. If it's a shadow, it doesn't matter if multiple exist at the same time, right? This is troublesome."】

Waver: "Shadow? In other words, the one in Gray's hand isn't the real Holy Spear either!"

Kayneth: "See? I told you not to jump to conclusions."

Shishigou Kairi: "But with such great power, it's not the genuine article. How strong must the genuine article be?"

Irisviel: "Saber, do you know?"

Artoria: "I don't know. I haven't used the Holy Spear for very long."

"You'll know how strong the genuine article is after the Sixth Singularity comes out later."

Extra Feng Xi thought to himself.
