The infinite sword system has been mastered, and you say this is the dragon clan?

Chapter 376 A Servant may not live, but cannot be without life.

[That's right! Wasn't your idea brilliant?]

BB landed beside Emiya. [Hehe, although it's slightly different from what I imagined.]

"Different? May I ask, how different?"

Emiya released his hand from Juvayus, thinking to himself, "BB, have you come up with some incredibly torturous, silky little trick? If so, hurry up and show it to me so I can refute it."

[Wow, BB's kisses are different, surpassing your expectations!]

The loud conversation of the two also drew the attention of the three French Servants who were wandering around. Prellati, clearly not having forgotten the earlier "feud," grinned maliciously, "Oh? What brilliant ideas does the Computer Mage of Chaldea have?"

[Hmm, Computer Demon? So besides the previous Electronic Ghost, I have so many nicknames?] BB flicked her pointer, pretending to have a headache. But just as Plerati was expecting her to get angry, BB suddenly smiled:
[—So-called nicknames and titles simply symbolize fame and influence, right? Since our adorable BB is so highly anticipated and has gained such popularity in Chaldea, she can't let everyone down!]

BB's eyes sparkled with a strange light as he smiled, and a sense of excited exhilaration emanated from his tone, conveying a feeling of triumph to everyone present.

"?"

Plerati, Black Jeanne, Black Mary, and the others exchanged glances, a bad feeling suddenly creeping into their hearts.

[Ta-da! Senior, after days and nights of thought and preparation, BB has finally decided on a combat power enhancement plan tailored for everyone in Chaldea. The project is called—]

【Operation 'Servants can die, but they can't be without life!'】

"?"

In an instant, the three Servants felt a chill, and at the same time, Emiya sensed a "deep malice" directed at the Servants from the project's name, which was long and stilted like a light novel.

[Hmm? Does everyone look a little off? Essentially, the Chaldea Servants, as Heroic Spirits, are completely different from their deceased selves; describing them as 'not alive' shouldn't be a problem, right?]

"Hey BB, weren't we just talking about a development plan to enhance the power of my Holy Sword, Guvayus? How did you get involved with the Servants of Chaldea?"

【Oh dear, senior, don't worry. This plan will most likely be carried out in stages and won't be completed in a short time. So, once BB finishes explaining, senior will understand the brilliance of this "Servant Extinction" operation in boosting Chaldea's overall combat strength and utilizing resources!】

Jeanne Alter couldn't help but raise her hand, "Excuse me, but I wanted to say something about that Servant who doesn't live and what kind of battle it is. Can't they just change the name? It sounds really ominous."

【Well, that makes sense. Let's just call it Operation 'Servants Have No Work'—】

“…Just pretend I didn’t say anything!”

Black Jeanne was taken aback and her face immediately darkened. To be honest, she wanted to turn around and leave right then and there to wander off somewhere else.

Seeing that no one showed any sign of moving, and glancing at Emiya who remained motionless, she patiently returned to her original spot and reluctantly continued listening.

"...Yes, senior. BB just mentioned to you that Juvayus's power and skill system is too chaotic and needs integration. Your solution was to modify Juvayus himself, while my idea is to combine it with your 'Unlimited Blade Works' for power integration."

"Combining with 'Unlimited Blade Works'? Modifying this Reality Marble?"

Emiya raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise. After mastering Unlimited Blade Works, he mainly used it to increase the storage of Noble Phantasm weaponry in normal times and to increase output during battles, among other things.

As for using it to assist in enhancing combat power? He really hadn't thought about what application it might have.

[Right, we need to make a small modification to Senior's Reality Marble so that it benefits everyone in Chaldea and Senior's own stat boosts!]

Emiya thought about it for a moment and felt there was nothing wrong with it. "This sounds like a great thing. BB, why did you have to come up with such a strange project name?"

[Hehe, after all, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Power increases don't just appear out of thin air; someone always has to pay a price. Like time and effort, like battles, like a spirit origin...]

"Spirit Origin?"

Upon hearing BB's statement, Emiya suddenly had a terrible thought: "You don't mean to make Chaldea's Servants sacrifice their Spirit Origins like Charlemagne did in the last Singularity, do, do? That's impossible!"

Putting aside other things, Chaldea's Servants are summoned through a special summoning ritual that differs from the usual Holy Grail Wars. They are summoned by "fate" or Mash's shield as catalysts, responding to Chaldea's slogan of "saving the world and protecting human history."

Chaldea also has corresponding Command Seals, but these Command Seals are all a kind of materialized magical resource reserve, simply used to buff Servants, unlike in a normal Holy Grail War where Command Seals can give Servants mandatory commands.

Therefore, treating Servants as familiars to magicians is an almost impossible path to take in Chaldea. Charlemagne's offering of his Spirit Origin is an extremely rare occurrence. Firstly, as a foolish king, he was generous and didn't care. Secondly, as a Heroic Spirit with fictional elements, Charlemagne's Spirit Origin was not very stable, and for the sake of rationality, he voluntarily withdrew and gave away his Spirit Origin.

[Hehe, senior, you misunderstood. Actually, BB's plan is like this...]

Emiya saw BB suddenly bend down, and as she lowered her head, her smooth, shiny purple hair and two full, stunningly beautiful breasts fell down, easily obscuring Emiya's eyes.

While the other three Servants stared wide-eyed at the lewd AI, BB whispered the details of a complex and meaningful plan into Emiya's ears...

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"That's strange. Why did Emiya want us to go to that dark magician's workshop?"

Nono and Erii walked ahead on either side, followed by Xia Mi, Regiereif, Melyuchina, and even Minamoto no Yorimitsu and Shuten-dōji... In short, every single person in Chaldea who could serve as a frontline fighter was part of the large contingent that marched forward, attracting a lot of attention along the way.

“He must have been stranded there because of some unexpected event,” Erii guessed. “I saw that Caster looking for Emiya when he entered Chaldea…”

Nono glanced back twice. "Isn't Nuwa coming?"

"It seems we'll have to wait. She appears to be researching something and is quite busy. She also applied for 'Norma' supercomputing resources from Ms. Da Vinci... I don't really understand."

"Honestly, when Nuwa gets serious, she's just like Emiya. Once she gets into a particular area, she puts everything else aside. She doesn't even know how to take a proper rest."

Erii chuckled, "Although we haven't had much contact, I feel that Sister Nuwa is a very capable person. She's said to be a very important figure in Shenzhou, and she even led the development of the Thought Disk..."

"Hmph," Nono smoothed the hair on the side of her face, "Am I not amazing? All these years I've been working hard behind the scenes for our Master Emiya. Even if I haven't done anything outstanding, I've certainly put in a lot of effort!"

"Pfft," Erii covered her mouth, then turned her head away and blinked, "Nono-nee's voice sounds just like 'Lord Emiya,' just like Natsumi-san..."

Xia Mi: "..." So this is bringing me into it? Am I just a link in the play between you and Master Emiya? Then next time you make a joke, remember to pay the copyright fee, okay? Regie Reif's words were not so familiar. She looked at the two red-haired sisters in front of her, and then looked at Meiliu Zina, whom she was slightly closer to, "What exactly is Emiya planning? He's so mysterious."

"I don't know," Meryuchina looked like she had just woken up, but Reggie still didn't dare to underestimate her. This dragon servant with half-closed eyes could be considered one of Chaldea's top combat forces besides Emiya.

"Just do whatever Emiya wants, don't overthink it. We'll find out what the arrangements are when we get there... Haha..."

Meiliuqina yawned again, as she rarely got up early.

"Well……"

Regina thought about it and realized that equating reliability with strength level was indeed incorrect. Looking behind her, she thought that perhaps Minamoto no Yorimitsu and Shuten-dōji, two historically renowned Servants, would be more reliable—

"Damn you, you ghost bug, what are you looking at?"

"Hehe, what's wrong with me taking a look? Cow Girl, how about we have a contest? When we arrive, who will be the first name the boss calls out?"

"Hmph, do I need to expose your little scheme? -- Stop fantasizing, that child will definitely call you last..."

"..." Regille watched the two Servants' incessant, shrewish conversation in silence, wondering if all Servants were so unrestrained and self-indulgent in any situation. She realized she should really give up the idea that "ancient celebrities are reliable."

In fact, Reggie and Reeves hadn't had much contact. The way Minamoto no Yorimitsu and Shuten-dōji acted was already showing consideration for the occasion. If they really didn't care about the occasion, the two of them would have already started fighting in public in this corridor.

So, the group strolled and joked around in a "harmonious and pleasant" atmosphere, and arrived at the door of Plerati's personal workshop.

The large, brand-new sign above the entrance caught everyone's attention—

[Sword Training Grounds! Limited-time Opening! BB's exclusive offer: an unprecedented free, non-deletion beta version! Limited time offer, first come, first served!!]

"So suspicious..."

This was Nono's first impression.

She was particularly skilled at profiling and had an almost precognitive intuition—she felt that as soon as the door opened, her team would be teleported into some strange and unusual instance space.

Erii nodded. "Indeed, Miss BB always likes to play pranks on people..."

However, one hand decisively grabbed the door and prepared to open it.

Wow! This looks like a lot of fun! You guys should join us!

Astolfo, who had been skipping and hopping over from a short distance away, flashed a healthy, lively yet worrying smile as he grabbed the doorknob and yanked it hard—

When did you get here?! Don't drag us along with such a terrible teammate!
When Nono and the others were terrified—not because they were worried about any danger, but because they were worried that Afu, that brainless idiot, would put them in danger—it was already too late.

As if some mechanism had been triggered, a vast expanse of white light shone out from the crack in the door, resembling the light of an enchanted barrier unfolding, instantly engulfing the group of people outside.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Sword Hill.

When Nono came to her senses, she saw a hill covered with all kinds of swords. She should have been very familiar with this scenery, because Emiya's Reality Marble was just like this.

But the scene before us was subtly different.

First, the fragrant grasses that once covered the fields, and the fluttering petals, have vanished. They have been completely erased, leaving only a desolate, barren landscape and rows of sharp, unyielding blades.

These swords of varying sizes even coalesced into giant sword-shaped peaks. She gazed into the distance, but as she looked further, the sword peaks faded and became blurred. It seemed that she was located at the foot of these giant sword peaks.

Nono didn't find anyone else, but she wasn't going to panic over something like this. There must be a deeper meaning behind Emiya calling everyone over.

She descended the hill and continued walking seemingly aimlessly.

Gradually, the sound of flowing water began to ring in her ears. Nuonuo looked closely and saw a continuous river flowing between the mountains. This river was not ordinary water. Nuonuo saw countless sword blades stuck in the riverbed.

"...All swords? A sword training ground transformed from the world of Unlimited Blade Works? What is this, 'Unlimited Blade World'? Hasn't he always used this place as a treasure warehouse? Why is he actually interested in making such a big change?"

Nono wondered, "Who came up with this idea? It looks like it's going to be a huge hassle."

Following the blades scattered on the ground, she could feel the unparalleled "sword intent" almost materializing and filling the heavens and earth. For some reason, memories surged back, and Nono suddenly remembered the process of Emiya teaching her swordsmanship for the first time several years ago. Emiya taught her that to take revenge on the gods, she must firmly grasp the power herself.

Moved by this, she picked up a Japanese sword and began to wield it.

Having immersed herself in the art for many years, and with the guidance of renowned teachers such as Emiya and Xia Mi, coupled with the formidable physique of a demigod, Nono's swordsmanship was already on par with those of the ancient Servants.

She merely used the "drawing sword technique" casually... sight, breath, the slicing method of a carp's mouth, drawing the sword, cutting down, blood surging—all in one smooth motion, as fast as wind and thunder, converging into a single line, easily slicing through a series of rocks along the way, leaving a smooth, mirror-like cut.

However, at that very moment, a red-haired figure resembling Emiya suddenly appeared before Nono's eyes, also adopting a "gazing" posture. The sound of sword techniques began to ring in her ears, and her body seemed to be guided and corrected in an invisible way...

As intelligent as she was, she instantly grasped the meaning of the sword training ground. She then pulled another Japanese sword from the ground, and the figure opposite her changed again, adopting the stance of "Niten Ichi-ryu".

Nuonuo burst into laughter.

"Long time no see, Emiya! I've never been able to catch up with you now, but I'd like to see how capable you were back then!"

Meanwhile, others are also undergoing different "trials of cultivation".

For example, Jeanne Alter, as a Servant, looked at the opposite side with a confused expression, at the shadow of a soaring dark green dragon.

"I'm not Saber, why should I get involved! Just because I have Saint Catherine's Sword?"

"And why are my training subjects a group of two-legged wyverns!?"
