Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

The surrounding space trembled under such a powerful force.

"Gáe Bolg, the spear that pierces through death!!!!!"

This is Cú Chulainn's largest and strongest attack using Gáe Bolg.

Unlike the "Gáe Bolg" (Spear of Death), it does not have the conceptual characteristic of "always piercing the opponent's heart", but its power and range of effect have been increased.

Of course, it also consumes a great deal of magic power, requiring the use of all the magic power in the body.

The attack range is a carpet bombing-like move that covers the area around the opponent. Even with strong defenses or a nimble dodge, it can send a group of people flying in one fell swoop.

"Pseudo-Spiral Sword (Caladbolg II)!!!"

The next second ——————

The crimson spear and the silver spiral sword suddenly collided in mid-air.

Chapter 601 True Name Liberation—

"boom--!"

The sound of space tearing apart suddenly rang out at that moment. Cú Chulainn's muscles, encased in his bodysuit, bulged violently as he hurled the weapon fiercely towards the tower where Shirou Emiya was located.

"Om-!"

The demonic spear, its tip swirling with crimson light, instantly transformed into a red meteor, tearing through the atmosphere and unleashing a storm of turbulent currents, shooting towards the sky like a rocket.

"Oh!"

Where the red meteor passed, the ground suddenly cracked open, kicking up countless pebbles and dust.

Hundreds of meters away, Shirou Emiya faced Cú Chulainn as he leaped into the air, his eyes showing no panic, only the calm honed through countless trials.

"Zi——!"

As if sensing a fateful confrontation, astonishing lightning flashed on the spiral-shaped sword arrow in Shirou Emiya's hand.

The surrounding air hissed under such terrifying voltage.

The magic power within his body was rapidly depleted at this moment, and rainbow-like light shone on the sword arrow.

This is the liberation of true names ——————

"call out--!"

The spiraling sword arrow, crackling with azure lightning, instantly transformed into a silver beam of light, piercing through space and even distorting the atmosphere, falling to earth like a comet from the sky.

A silver comet falling from the sky.

A red meteor shooting into the sky.

Two beams of starlight, one silver and one red, vibrated the space, illuminating the entire area, before colliding heavily in mid-air.

"————————————————————"

silence------

silence------

An indescribable silence instantly engulfed the entire street.

The monster was firmly pressed to the ground by the ever-increasing pressure.

This is the last peace after that horrific impact.

"Zheng——!"

An energy that made one's heart stop suddenly exploded at that moment from the point of contact where the silver and red starlight collided in mid-air.

"Boom--!"

The earth-shattering roar resounded through the sky, transforming into sound waves that vibrated outward like a shock wave.

In mid-air, the silver comet and the red meteor collided.

The terrifying shockwaves and intense flames made the entire night sky appear as if it were engulfed in a sea of ​​fire, unleashing a series of violent impacts.

Suddenly, the red meteor formed from the crimson demonic spear trembled and rose up, with crimson magical energy bursting forth at a visible speed.

The powerful impact caused the surrounding space to shatter, and the crimson magic suppressed the silver beam of light as it pushed forward.

However, the spiral sword flashing with azure lightning suddenly trembled at this moment, as if in response to the crimson magic power. It burst forth with extremely terrifying magic power, causing the silver comet to expand and grow several times larger.

The two weapons, like two equally matched individuals, engaged in an extremely intense battle in the air.

However, the two forces did not remain locked in a stalemate for long.

“Crack, click, click—!”

One could clearly hear the sound of the spiraling sword arrow gradually shattering.

Visible cracks gradually appeared on its blade.

This is not because the projected weapon was unable to withstand the attack from the crimson spear.

It was Shirou Emiya who made this weapon unleash its maximum power, enough to destroy itself.

Even if it's just for a moment, even if it's just a blink of an eye, it reaches the power of the original in that instant.

This is a powerful anti-military weapon known for its ability to destroy even the terrain.

"boom----!"

In the next instant, amidst a series of shattering sounds, the red meteor was directly dispersed by the silver comet.

Rainbow-colored light illuminated the entire block at that moment, while terrifying beams of light shot towards the earth.

"Varied?!"

At that moment, Cú Chulainn's face also showed extreme shock.

But the beam of light falling from the sky wouldn't give Cú Chulainn much time to react.

In a mere instant, a rainbow-colored light filled his entire field of vision, accompanied by a terrifying gust of wind, and then descended.

Although 【Fantasy Collapse】can cause great power, this power is only momentary, and the damage it causes is only for the instant of the explosion.

If it were to collide with the piercing spear of death in his hand, even if it were to produce an explosion powerful enough to generate an A-rank Noble Phantasm, it would only slightly affect him.

But Cú Chulainn did not expect that Shirou Emiya, who was merely a Master, would be able to unleash the true name of the Spiral Sword.

Even more unexpectedly, the Spiral Sword unleashed by Shirou Emiya was able to achieve the same power as its original counterpart.

"boom----!"

On the street directly in front of the tower, a rainbow-colored beam of light struck the ground and exploded, unleashing a deafening blast and sending a terrifying shockwave sweeping outwards.

The earth began to shatter, collapse, and disintegrate in an instant, becoming unrecognizable in a flash.

The overwhelming waves of fire and the astonishing impact mixed together, sweeping in all directions like surging tides.

"Crack, click, click!"

The surrounding buildings cracked and splintered under the impact of the shockwave.

Everything was shattered into fragments by this powerful impact and engulfed by the wave of fire.

It's unclear how long this scene lasted.

It wasn't until much later that the terrifying wind and waves and the intense flames gradually subsided and faded into the air.

【2】

Numbers have once again come into view for everyone.

"Lancer!!!!!!!!"

Rin Tohsaka, who had barely made it through the shockwave, looked nervously at the explosion's epicenter, which was now covered in dust.

"It's all thanks to Master!"

Reassuring words followed.

On the ground, in a huge crater spanning hundreds of meters, Cú Chulainn, his bodysuit tattered and worn, stood clutching an incredibly dazzling gem.

His body was covered with countless wounds, large and small, and was stained with bright red blood; it was a truly gruesome sight.

On that gemstone, a symbol filled with profound mystery appeared.

Rune Magic

Grade: B

He possesses the ability to use rune magic. Cú Chulainn learned 18 runes (Norse magic markings) from Scáthach, the Queen of the Land of Shadows, and can use these runes flexibly according to the situation.

Unlike the magic of the divine era, or modern magic that can be used simply by chanting.

Runes require a medium to be used, and in the original texts, the best medium is wood.

Of course, you can also use other mediums to use runes, such as air.

However, the effects will vary depending on the medium used.

And now, Cú Chulainn is using gems as a medium to perform rune magic.

Chapter 602 Retreat Without Hesitation

The spiral sword in Shirou Emiya's hand is modeled after Cú Chulainn's "Spear of Death," which is an anti-military Noble Phantasm.

It's even said that the power level of the Noble Phantasm Unleashed reached a terrifying A+, while the Noble Phantasm thrown by Cú Chulainn was only B+.

However, this is not the original Spiral Sword, but a pseudo-Spiral Sword (Caladbolg II) modified by Shirou Emiya.

Rather than being wielded as a longsword, the spiral sword modified by Shirou Emiya is more suitable for being launched as an arrow.

It also possesses a strong ability to penetrate the air, and it exists itself as a sword arrow of fantasy collapse.

Because of this modification, although the weapon can still unleash its true name, as it is designed to break through illusions, the power of its Noble Phantasm will be reduced.

Moreover, as a projected product, its Noble Phantasm level has already decreased by one level.
