Chapter 590 Three in a Million: King Arthur's Approval

As Fuyuki City was hit by a nuclear explosion, Dracula Castle was once again undergoing demolition.

It was precisely because of the combined envelopment of Castlevania and Unlimited Blade Works that King Arthur's mastery of both gun and sword prevented Fuyuki City from being peacefully destroyed as well.

But just as the entire main body of Dracula's Castle, along with Infinite Blade Works, was annihilated and collapsed by the Holy Sword and Holy Lance's dual beam cannons, a strange phenomenon appeared, as if time had reversed.

All the broken walls, the sword mound, and everything destroyed and damaged within the two barriers were once again presented to everyone's eyes.

Cheng Tian and Bazett, who should have been annihilated by the two light cannons, reappeared in the half of the chaotic space.

As for King Arthur, whose chest was ripped open, his health bar had been completely depleted, and he was on the verge of death.

The Sword of the God of War, also known as the Reverse Light Sword, has a special attack effect that reverses cause and effect. It needs to be released at the right time when the opponent releases an attack, and the counterattack multiplier increases according to the damage of the opponent's attack. If the counterattack can completely kill the target unit, then the cause and effect of the fight between the two sides will be completely reversed, and the target who launched the attack first will be regarded as "never released any attack" and the battle will end.

Therefore, the dual beam cannons that originally caused nuclear peace to Castlevania and Infinite Blade were directly erased from the causal level. Since Castlevania and Infinite Blade "never" suffered from the dual beam cannons, the resulting destruction was also erased.

Similarly, Cheng Tian and Bazette, who were supposed to eat as much light as they wanted, returned to the real world as if nothing had happened.

Even in the original FHA, Bazett used the same method to defeat King Arthur in the Night of the Holy Grail War, and the Reverse Sword, which used the Black Pearl as its material, could counter both the Holy Sword and the Holy Lance at the same time.

Even without the Sword of War, she wouldn't have been able to continue using the Holy Sword and Holy Lance techniques by forcibly executing them with her shattered Spirit Origin; she would have been beyond saving even with Command Seals. However, the final blow delivered by the Reverse Light Sword was still quite important.

Not only did they save Cheng Tian and his servant, but they also indirectly saved Rin Tohsaka, the unfortunate land manager.

Everyone knows that the Holy Grail War needs to be conducted in secret... What a load of rubbish!

The photo of Dracula's Castle, standing atop the spiritual veins of Fuyuki City, has been faxed to the desks of various departments in the Clock Tower!
Some of the magicians who knew that Lord El-Melloi II was on a business trip in Fuyuki City had been frantically making long-distance calls, but since he was currently inside the mental landscape barrier, there was no signal at all.

Countless scholars went crazy and started booking plane tickets to Fuyuki City.

But by the time they arrive, all that will likely be left is a mess.

clang~
Both the Holy Sword and the Holy Lance had fallen from their hands. The Holy Sword remained intact, but the replica Holy Lance had begun to disintegrate on its own.

This is the price of using power beyond one's own limits.

Meanwhile, King Arthur's own spiritual foundation began to dissipate, but when she looked at Cheng Tian and Bazett in mid-air, her eyes held a complex mix of emotions and undisguised admiration.

Well, as expected of someone who was bestowed the title of Knight of the Round Table by his counterparts from other timelines, he truly lives up to the name "Dragon Elephant Knight".

To be defeated by such a counterattack would not tarnish the name of a knight.

As for the worries about the cursed black mud, they were no longer there, because as the Black Pearl Reverse Light Sword pierced King Arthur's heart, some special information was simultaneously infused into it.

The evils of this world that have corrupted the Holy Grail system are being suppressed and transformed into something else by two more powerful, yet orderly, forces of evil—

The source of evil.

Big snake.

Once the remaining Holy Grail ritual is completed, not only will the so-called evil of this world be stripped away, but the Wish Machine system rooted in Fuyuki City will also be removed. Recalling the impact of the Fourth War on Fuyuki City, Artoria, who always felt unworthy to be king but still cared for her subjects, was finally at peace.

It's alright if we don't have the Holy Grail...

“Saber!!!!!”

Upon hearing his Master's final call, King Arthur turned his head, leaving behind a final smile, before his Spirit Origin completely dissipated.

Its soul was also retrieved into the black pearl, which now possessed the functions of the Holy Grail.

The sixth serpent head, representing Saber and the Flame of Destiny, was lit up simultaneously.

...No, Cheng Tian's crotch area also started to glow again!
[You have gained recognition from "Artoria Pendragon" regarding your strength.]

You have completed the side quest – "Three Million Arthur".

[Your special equipment "Arthur's Proof" and "Key to the Golden Capital" create a set bonus -]

All melee weapons stored in your Gate of Babylon can be used as template materials for the "Knight's Throw" skill. When the stored melee weapons include "swords," you can additionally create "Phantom Swords" to add to the throwing range, with the related effects executed according to the original skill.

[Additional Note: The treasure chest dropped by Artoria Pendragon has been automatically returned to the Treasure Chamber in Dracula's Castle. Please check your inventory.]

"Two left."

Having quickly digested all the information, Cheng Tian held up two fingers.

From observing as a bystander to personally getting involved, it was that smooth process.

But since he was already here, and Cheng Tian, ​​who had accepted everything from Qiuqiu, had essentially become the "Holy Grail King" after the wish machine was materialized, he naturally had to complete the ritual of the Sanctuary according to his own ideas.

In this Holy Grail War, only Archer (Red Archer) and Berserker (Berserker) remain. Once their souls are recovered, this Holy Grail War and the Silver Side Quest will come to an end.

This act of personally intervening in and ending the fifth battle, which is essentially the final instance, will likely affect the final mission outcome, and might even allow the Castlevania landlord to retain a small portion of his power.
Of course, this does not mean that only these two groups are Cheng Tian's enemies.

The disappearance of King Arthur had a significant impact on the young Shirou Emiya. Even though the time they had spent together was too short and they hadn't yet developed a deep bond, witnessing a familiar person vanish before his eyes was something the young Shirou clearly couldn't accept, especially since he hadn't been able to save Sakura.

...But so what?

The Holy Grail War is no child's play. It is brutal, dangerous, deadly, and conflict-ridden. Rather, the participants in this Holy Grail War are far less eager and intense in their pursuit of the Holy Grail than the previous one.

Cheng Tian felt extremely apologetic for not being able to give Emiya a chance to practice his skills in the vise!
Cheng Tian raised his right hand, and his third eye on his forehead began to rotate rapidly clockwise.

Subsequently, using the demonic spear Gaeberg, which had been temporarily stolen and not yet returned, as a vessel, he charged it with polluted spiritual veins, then infused it with the power of destiny from Cheng Tian's bloodline, and used the energy flow of the spear of the end as a simulation object, incorporating his own understanding of the Holy Demon Twin Spears.

Finally, a crimson spear, existing between reality and illusion, stood high in the sky—

Gungnir, the sharpshooter.
