To become a king and a magician

With his still powerful limbs, Mad King snapped the chains, grabbed the chain around his chest and tore it apart. As soon as his feet touched the ground, Mad King created a crater and transformed into a rampaging tank, charging towards Xia Chuanhu at full speed!

Can't it be done just once?

Or is it that they can't be completely defeated unless they are completely wiped out?

Regardless of which one...

"It doesn't matter."

Xia Chuanhu twitched his fingers slightly, and the space in front of him trembled. The moment the Mad King rushed into the trembling space, his entire body, along with his shell, transformed into a thick blood mist, resembling a mad beast!

Realizing the Imagination: The Field of Spatial Faults.

"Whether I kill you hundreds of times or kill you completely, it's all the same to me."

"Really, it won't take long to deal with you."

95. The Great Wilderness Starfall

Ten years have passed since then.

Realizing fantasy.

Even now, Natsukawa Torato still considers this ability, which he gained by becoming an elf, to be utterly unfair.

The Mad King's power is definitely not lacking. He can easily handle three or four Servants at the same time, and if he goes all out, he might even wipe them out in an instant. Even if Gilgamesh were to deal with him, he would be completely suppressed or even killed if he didn't take it seriously.

Not to mention the Holy Grail providing magic and the ability to fuse with the Demon Pillars.

But all of this is as fragile as paper in front of Natsukawa Torato. The spatial fault created by the materialization of imagination is a blade that can cut through everything. No matter how hard the armor or flesh is, it will only be pulverized the moment it touches it.

"Although I would love to fight you to the death, I'm sorry, I have an appointment here and I'm in a hurry."

Reaching out his hand into the air where the Mad King had been shattered, countless particles of light instantly converged from all directions, forming a golden cup in Xia Chuanhu's hand.

The Holy Grail has been retrieved.

"In that case, the Fifth Singularity can be considered repaired."

The Holy Grail is the root cause of the Singularity's distortion. Now that the Holy Grail has been retrieved, and Maeve and the Mad King, who were the greatest threats to the Singularity, have been killed and eliminated, the remaining Celtic soldiers will likely disappear soon due to the self-correction of the times.

This singularity will eventually collapse—in fact, it has already begun to collapse.

"So? Do you need me to give you more time to reply?"

Placing the Holy Grail on a nearby rock, Natsukawa Torama turned to look behind him and said, while in front of him, Scáthach, holding two crimson magic spears and wearing an alluring bodysuit, shook her head: "No, no need. So much time has passed since then, I've already recovered, not to mention I have a decent Master."

"It really took me a lot of effort to pull you back from the brink of death."

"Aozaki Aoko, who was standing next to Scáthach, said with a wry smile."

In addition to the northern and southern fronts, there was another front in this war—the decapitation squad consisting of Scáthach and another Servant aimed at Medb and the Berserker King.

The reason for forming this squad is self-evident, and the result was just as the Mad King said earlier: Scáthach was defeated in her final battle against him, having underestimated his current strength. Even after activating her second Noble Phantasm to exile him to the Land of Shadows, he forcibly broke free and delivered a fatal blow to Scáthach.

Logically, Scáthach should have left the scene immediately after her spirit core was shattered, but before that, she entered the Land of Shadows in time, barely saving her life, and then formed a new contract with Aozaki Aoko who arrived later.

"You haven't forgotten the promise from ten years ago, and of course I haven't either. This is a rare opportunity in the real world. If we don't seize this chance to meet you again, we'll have to wait for you to come to the Land of Shadows to see you again."

"Although time is infinite, I don't have the patience to wait another ten years, especially since you're already so tempting."

Like the Mad King, Scáthach could also sense the aura of someone standing on the edge of death emanating from Natsukawa Torato. It might sound a bit shameful to say this, but after being defeated by her disciple, Scáthach is now closer to the state of a challenger than her previous state of seeking victory alone.

Her opponent was Xia Chuanhu, who had easily defeated the Mad King. In terms of strength, he was undoubtedly one or two levels stronger than her.

As a warrior of Celtic mythology, there is nothing more honorable than challenging such a powerful warrior—even if she doesn't value honor.

"Alright, let's begin, young elf."

Scáthach raised her crimson magic spear.

"Considering we don't have much time left, let's finish this quickly—don't hold back and go all out."

Go all out?

Xia Chuanhu sighed slightly and smiled helplessly, "Alright then, as you wish, madam."

"Thump—!!"

All magic circuits are activated, restrictions on conventional magic output are lifted, and magic output is maximized.

Previously, in the Fuyuki Singularity, in order to fight against King Solomon, Natsukawa Torato had only shown his greatest strength once. Now, as a tribute to Scáthach, he is willing to bring it up again in this world on the verge of collapse.

Ultimate Magic Output - God-level.

Holding the holy sword, Natsukawa Torama, enveloped in an excess of magical power as if his entire body were burning with flames, stared at Scáthach.

Then—

"Snap—!!"

The ground completely collapsed!

Natsukawa Tora, transformed into a shooting star, suddenly soared into the sky! Accompanied by a series of whooshing sounds, he flew all the way up to a height where even Scáthach's clairvoyance could barely see his figure!

With its terrifying magic, it completed multiple aerial jumps, each reaching a height of hundreds of meters.

(This is truly... utterly inhuman.)

For the first time in her life, Scáthach had a goal she had to look up to.

In the air, close to the stratosphere, looking down at Scáthach, Natsukawa Tora gathered all his magical power behind him.

When it comes to a quick victory, the most direct method is of course to use the ultimate move right away. However, Natsukawa Tora's ultimate move is not suitable for situations like Moonfall. Even if he uses Holy Sword Release, he probably won't be able to open many layers, and his summoning magic probably won't be enough.

The only thing that could be thought of was to put all one's strength into one strike.

It gathers magical power from the stratosphere and then plunges down at full speed—perhaps with the power of a moonfall.

"Buzz~~~~~Bang——————!"

As the magic accumulated, the immense magic gathered behind Natsukawa Torato gradually emitted a uniquely shaped radiance, which, from a distance, looked like a pair of giant dragon wings slowly unfolding.

"That's about the limit... Come on!"

"BOOM————————!!"

The magic power stopped accumulating and was released directly upwards—at that moment, almost everyone saw two golden meteors suddenly shoot towards the sky and the earth simultaneously, starting from a small, shining sun in the air!

(Are they here yet?!)

Watching the falling stars, Scáthach also raised her twin pistols—

"If a spear strike reaches its pinnacle, even gods can be slain. Today, let me challenge myself to see if my spear can shatter the stars!"

"Noble Phantasm Unleashed! [GaeBolgAlternative] ————!!"

A crimson vortex of magical energy gathered on the magic spear. After concentrating all her magical power into one point, Scáthach threw the magic spear in her hand with all her might!

It's not the kind of guaranteed hit that's divided into two stages like before; instead, the first shot is aimed at a guaranteed hit and a kill!

The golden star fell from the sky.

The Crimson Star ascends to the heavens.

The moment the two met in mid-air, the spear tip and the sword tip collided, Scáthach saw her fate with perfect clarity.

The [Star] he threw was crushed without offering any resistance.

Then—

"Pfft—!"

The holy sword, falling from the sky at several times the speed of sound, pierced straight through Scáthach's heart!

There has been no further activity.

Scáthach stared at the boy in front of her with a hint of helplessness: "You still held back until the very end... You really went too far, Natsukawa Torato."

"After all, my goal was only to kill you, not to destroy everything around us," Natsukawa Torato laughed. "The battle is over, isn't it?"

"Ah."

Scáthach nodded with a wry smile.

"I lost."

96. Next up is the roundtable discussion.

The border of the Starry Sea.

Tower Avalonne.

Watching the live broadcast of the situation at the Fifth Singularity, Merlin couldn't help but chuckle: "Oh dear, you've really made quite a stir as soon as you got back. Lord Natsukawa is as energetic as ever."

"After all, that's how Master is. If no one is watching him, he'll do something really reckless without any self-awareness."

Beside Merlin, Artoria, who was also watching the live broadcast, said with a smile.

"However, judging from the fact that he withdrew all his power in the end and did not cause great damage, the Master can be said to have gained some self-awareness."

"Haha, that's true. If that attack had landed, probably half of Washington would have been destroyed. In terms of magical power, it's comparable to the self-destruction of a god. No wonder it's a first-generation elf born from a planet."

"It's amazing that my other self can still be alive after causing trouble in front of him every day," Merlin thought to himself.

(Well, this also shows how much this Holy Sword Wielder loves my other self. I really hope that my other self won't betray this affection and do something as awful as before. Even I would find it hard to watch if that happened.)

"If things go as expected, with his current abilities and our assistance, we should be able to get through the Seventh Singularity without any major incidents. I will also set off there to provide assistance. With another powerful Servant joining the ranks, the only remaining threat will be the Mother Goddess of Creation."

"But the sixth singularity is a bit more troublesome."

Merlin's words made Artoria nod with her brows furrowed.

Six months have passed since the Human Order Burning incident. Apart from the two singularities that suddenly appeared, Merlin has been observing the other seven singularities, which helps to relieve some pressure on Chaldea. From time to time, Merlin will also provide Roman with some hints through Magical Meryl.

However, the sixth singularity is an exception.

In terms of the strength of the singularity, it surpasses the Seventh Singularity, and until now, neither Chaldea nor Merlin has been able to interfere with it. Even Merlin's clairvoyance cannot see what's inside.

The sixth singularity is the most difficult singularity.

Merlin did not inform Chaldea of ​​this fact. On the one hand, Chaldea was making increasingly smooth progress on the path of restoring human order, and there was no need to dampen their spirits at this time. On the other hand, he wanted to investigate further before informing them.

However, even now that the Fifth Singularity has been conquered, Merlin's side still knows nothing about the Sixth Singularity.
