Chapter Twenty-Five: Shoot a Hundred Heads
"The ceremony is ready, you should be able to do the rest yourself."
"Ah, that's right, hard work, now, you hurry up and leave with your facial paralysis master."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ Now, Berserker. β
"Huh?"
"I'm grateful that you can keep me with Soichiro-sama, so if there's anything you need my help with......"
"No need, I'm just helping you as a price for you to help me prepare for the advent ceremony, now that we've cleared the two, let's leave quickly, you shouldn't want the hard-won happiness to be ruined."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ Understood, then, goodbye. β
[Goodbye...... Well...... Hehe, that's really fresh. γ
After savoring what Caster had said, Naraku smiled and continued to focus on the Advent of the Holy Grail.
Unlike before, if he was at his peak, he would be able to pull the Holy Grail down at will, but now in a state where not only his strength is greatly limited, but even the ability that he can use is extremely limited, he can't do it if he is not serious.
For Caster's help,Actually, Naraku was improvised.,Compared with the main character of the group of Emiya Shiro.,Naraku actually admires Caster and Soichiro Katsuragi's group.,What a righteous partner.,Hearing it makes him want to vomit.,Compared to this,,He still prefers people like Soichiro Katsuragi.γ
Of course, the premise is that the other party is not an enemy, plus it will not affect him, otherwise even if it is someone he admires, he will not hesitate to kill him, whether it is an adult, a child, an old man, a baby, all the same.

A lavish quartz throne sits in the center of the main hall of Ryudong Temple.
The blonde-haired girl leaned softly on the throne, and more than a dozen golden magic chains connected to the four walls of the main hall firmly bound the girl.
βSaberοΌβ
Hearing Shirou's call, the girl moved slightly, and she struggled to raise her head and look ahead with a blurred vision.
"Is it Shirou..............."
unimaginable weakness.
In Shirou's mind, the girl is a symbol of strength.
In that dream, he stepped on the stone platform as the last challenger on this prophetic day.
"Whoever pulls this sword out of the rock shall be the king of the Crown."
Countless people held the sword according to this inscription, but none of them succeeded, and among them there were excellent royal families and warriors who had fought in battle, but none of them were recognized by the sword, and none of them were the chosen kings.
And this young girl, who had just passed her 16th birthday, held the hilt of the sword as the last trialist as a knight candidate.
"Artoria, think again before you draw your sword."
The most revered magician in the country, who came to witness the ceremony, gave the maiden a final warning as usual.
"Once you have this sword, eventually you will no longer be human."
"I know that this sword is my own free will." The girl named "Artoria" did not hesitate or hold the holy sword without hesitation.
She drew her sword, and she became the new king of the country, supporting the weight of the nation with the body of a 16-year-old girl.
"Our king is the god of war, always in front of the battle, and has never tasted defeat!"
"No one can stop King Arthur's march!"
"The youthful posture has not changed since the sword of the Emperor was drawn, and the king does not even grow old, it is exactly - the embodiment of divine bravery!"
The king, who is sung as the embodiment of the dragon, cannot be defeated.
Ten years of battlefields, twelve battles, all ended with her victory.
She didn't look back once, and she didn't get hurt once.
She grew up as a king and carried out the obligations of the king.
However, at this moment, she is as weak as a fragile handicraft.
βββBerserkerοΌοΌοΌβ
"Shirou! Stop it! β
In an instant, the twin swords of yin and yang were projected, ignoring Rin's panicked shouts behind him, Shirou roared angrily and rushed towards Naraku.
"Ahh Naraku seemed to say helplessly, and then took out the eclipse and changed into the first form, the state of the Thunder Dance Holy Blade.
Although the Thunder Dance Blade was greatly damaged due to his own reasons, the small intensity of the battle was still bearable.
"Crane wings, owe fall."
Shirou recited words that seemed to be poetry, and threw the double sword in his hand at Naraku.
"This kid!?" Archer's eyes widened in surprise.
The twin swords drew two arcs, attacking Naraku from the left and right, and Naraku was casually blocked, and the twin swords spun and flew behind him.
"Mental skills, Tarzan to."
The twin swords were projected again, and Shirou made a stab with a general, and at the same time, Mo Ye, who was behind Naraku, also returned because he was attracted.
"Hush." Sideways to dodge the attacking Mo Ye, Naraku swung his sword and smashed the cadre.
"Heart skills, crossing the Yellow River."
Shirou once again stabbed Naraku with Mo Ye as an assault.
"It's endless."
Complaining impatiently, Naraku dodged the cadres attracted by Mo Ye, and used his free left hand to send out a small magic cannon to shatter Mo Ye, but due to carelessness, he also revealed his flaws.
"Only the name, don't be a god."
The third time the Yin and Yang swords were projected.
And at this moment, after three times, the twin swords turned into a posture like wings.
"Two males, farewell together!"
"It's not annoying!"
Even in a state of revealing flaws, Naraku was not so easy to be knocked down, his body jumped up, and his feet slashed at the attacking double swords, obviously it was flesh, but he easily shattered the yin and yang double swords.
At the same time, he swung his sword with his right hand and killed Shirou.
Shirou instinctively rolled backwards, and although he looked a little embarrassed, he still dodged the sudden blow by a fraction of a second.
"How...... Probably ......"
Shirou looked at Naraku in front of him in surprise, the previous state should have been a broken posture and a state full of flaws, but the other party counterattacked, not to mention resolving the crisis, and almost beheaded himself.
"The number of times we have experienced the Shura Field is far from the level!" Naraku scoffed, "It's not that easy to want my reward......"
The right hand naturally hung down, and the whole person showed a natural posture, and Naraku's whole body surged out of a huge magic power that was not at the same level as the place: "Are you ready, half-hanger." β
will be killed!
Unlike the previous playful fight, this time he really wanted to kill himself.
Run!
That's what I thought in my head, but my body, which had been attacked by killing intent, couldn't do it.
Unlike Archer's overwhelming killing intent before, Naraku's murderous aura is not so huge, just like a weapon formed after repeated beatings and tempering, Naraku's murderous aura is not qualitatively at the same level as Archer, as for the quantity, I don't know, because Naraku has not yet fully opened the murderous aura.
But what he released was, in its purest-
- Murderous intent.
Snort-
A terrible sound of breaking the air.
An arrow grazed Shirou's ear and shot at Naraku.
Qiang.
Spikes.
The tip of the sword is exactly the tip of the arrow, and it is bounced away by turning its strength.
Unexpectedly, the arrows that were bounced off turned in a circle, still aiming at Naro.
"Akabara Hound?"
Naraku raised her eyebrows and said the treasure's real name.
Unless the archer is dead, the sword will be pursued endlessly.
"It's a nuisance." Naraku stretched out his hand, and with the distance after activating the [Bull], he had already activated the [Steel Protection] and grabbed the arrow in his hand.
"Brokenfantansy."
With Archer's words, the arrow exploded, engulfing the unprepared Naraku.
"Get out of the way!"
Throwing Shirou, who had been pushed away by the blast, Archer rushed like a cannonball into the billowing smoke.
Qiang.
Swords collide.
As expected, Naraku was unharmed after activating [Steel's Protection].
For him, who has begun to get serious, it's really not so easy to hurt, no, even if he doesn't get serious, the other party hasn't been injured, and they haven't seen Berserker injured once so far.
Although, when seeing this result, I couldn't help but be disappointed.
With a strange force that didn't match his seemingly thin arms, Naraku flicked off Archer's twin swords, and ......
A magic ball that gathered a large amount of golden magic power appeared on the sword of the Thunder Dance Holy Blade, which naturally drooped, and then merged into the golden magic blade in the next moment.
In an instant, the golden magic blade glowed brightly, and purple arcs of lightning flashed above the blade at a frequency that was completely incomparable to before, and then ......
His right hand turned into a swaying yang flame, and he swung a reverse robe from the bottom up.
At the same time as Naraku unleashed his reverse robe, the huge amount of magic power compressed in the sword body turned into a flat fan-shaped cannonball that radiated out with him as the center, and struck into the distance at a super speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye.
Speaking of which, this attack is similar to the thirtieth blade of [Death], the Kleibel in charge of [Sacrifice] unleashed the Void Flash against Hibanya Winter Shirou.
Of course, in order to maximize the power of the cannonball, the angle of the magic cannon is actually not large.
The artillery bombardment was like a sword blade prolonging the killing in a straight line of Archer, and no matter who it was, under this blow, it was impossible to remain intact.
"LO AAS (Sevenfold Ring of Blazing)!"
At the last moment, Archer projected an invincible blazing shield to block the killing blow, but as a result, the shield, which was equivalent to the strength of a city wall every leaf, was completely slashed when Naraku's bombardment completely dissipated.
"Not bad, archers."
"Thanks for the compliment."
Thanking him coldly, Archer rushed forward again without hesitation.
However, there is no doubt that it is suppressed.
Archer judged.
The sword skills that he has honed to the extreme, in front of the other party, are like a child's tricks, clumsy.
But......
This body is not a swordsmanship specialty.
"I-am-the-bone-of-my-swordβ"
Throwing away the yin and yang twin swords in his hand, what appeared in his hand was the legendary hero, the giant sword of Hercules.
Fortunately, even the monster power can be copied, otherwise this sword would not have been used.
Let me show you,
The limit of mortals!
Desperate to force Naraku out of an unnatural stun, the red-clothed knight roared out of the name of swordsmanship:
"Projection Loading-"
There are nine in mind.
Step by step, step into the attack.
Hercules, the greatest hero of Greece, used his great sword to imitate the sword technique of the Hydra with the bow and arrow used to shoot the hydra, and Archer recreated it with the sword of a giant.
Upper arm, collarbone, trachea, skull, heart, ribs, ****, thighs.
The sniper targets are these eight places,
"The whole project is projected---yesγShoot a hundred heads!!"
With a speed of sound that surpasses the speed of God, he swung it down!
"What!?"
However, even if he was caught off guard, Naraku still calmly blocked all of them, and used the Thunder Dance Holy Blade in his hand to block all the attacks aimed at the eight vital points.
One more step.
Holding the giant's greatsword in his left hand, he raised it to his chest and stabbed it like a spear.
"Whew!" Because he hastily resisted the opponent's sniper attack in eight key points before, even Naraku, this time he finally revealed an irreparable flaw, and not only that, the continuous fierce collision just now at that moment had already overwhelmed the already injured [Eclipse].
Although Naraku placed the Thunder Dance Blade on the opponent's attack path in time, it ......
Throughout.
Without hesitation or relentlessness, he stabbed his great sword at Berserker.
Bringing together Archer's full heart and soul and shattering the Thunderdance Blade, piercing the heart of the demon that Naraku had done.
ββββThe battle lasted only a moment.
It was really in one breath that the winners and losers were decided.
"Hah...... Isn't it really funny, Archer......" The fading Naraku looked at Archer who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a chuckle, "But don't be careless, I'm just a demon after the master's three enhancements, used to delay time, and what awaits you next is the real difficulty, come on, come on, my master is looking forward to your performance." β
"Qiangβ"
As Naraku vanished, the chains that bound Saber broke at the same time.
βSaberοΌβ
Shirou rushed over and held the crumbling Saber.
"Break Saber's contract first." Archer reminded.
After all, Saber is still Naraku's Servant at the moment, and even if she doesn't want to, she will still face her sword under the effect of the spell.
Shirou nodded, trying to drive the half-destroyed magic circuit, projecting the sinuous Covenant-Breaking Blade.
"Bear with me, Saber."
With that, Shirou stabbed the Broken Talisman into Saber's chest.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
"Have you taken Saber back?" In the depths of the big hollow underground, Naraku glanced at the back of his left hand, which was already nothing, and muttered to himself, "Well, anyway, I didn't plan to use that annoying knight king to give them a little more help or add some color to the aftershow." β
"However, it really destroyed my magic guide, and it's troublesome, it's all hurting the core, and it's going to be troublesome to repair it now." Looking at the cracked amethyst that returned to his hand at some point, Naraku scratched his head with some annoyance, "Ahhh It's time to use the reverse flow of time to figure it out. β
"Well, anyway, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, let's talk about it then, it's a big deal to go back and ask them to fix it." After making a decision, Naraku turned her gaze to the girl next to her and asked, "How are you thinking about it?" β
"..................," the girl's body trembled, and she asked in an inaudible voice, "Is that okay?" Can I really stay with my seniors? β
"Who knows?" Naraku smiled irresponsiblely, "With that half-character, it is impossible to dislike you, the key is you, the qualification is to fight for yourself, if you admit defeat from the beginning, then you will completely lose the qualification to participate in this victory, that is to say, if you don't take that step, then you will never be able to achieve your wish." β
".............................." The girl's body kept trembling, and when she stopped trembling, she looked directly at Naraku with a determined gaze and bowed deeply, "Please! β
"Ahh
Naraku smiled slightly.
"Then let's solve the potential problem first, and bear with it a little."
Suddenly stretched out his hand, and in the girl's surprised gaze, it sank into her chest.
β¦β¦
"Ahh Sensing the imminent arrival of Shirou and the others, Naraku muttered, holding a fat insect that was constantly struggling in his right hand, and holding a heart in his left hand, "Directly created a new heart, and at the same time eliminated the magic circuit that was wrapped around Master's body, and now I suddenly feel that it is much more convenient to become a [god], is it actually a convenient machine......
Glancing at Illya lying on the bed she had made with alchemy, Naraku waved her hand and sent her back to the castle of Einzberen.
"Have a good dream, Master."
The next moment, with a bang, the barrier that sealed the entrance to the cave shattered like glass.
"Four people, just the number of people who play RPGs............ Am I the Demon King? Uh, it looks like I'm really a demon king now, no, no, I'm a real demon king. β
Naraku looked at the four people who walked in, first complaining to themselves, and then laughing evilly.
"Forget it, as the 'Demon King' who has been defeated by the 'Brave' several times, let me make a gorgeous fuss in this world!"
