That protagonist is trash; I could do better!

What's even more terrifying is that the very fact that space is sealed off proves that the power of the Ea sword has indeed broken through the imaginary space and affected reality.

Archer proclaimed, "Worship! Enuma Elish! (The Star That Created the World)!"

The sword of discord points at Shinji Matou. The three rotating positions suddenly overlap, transforming into a sphere. The interior trembles, like the moon falling to earth, crushing time, space, dimensions, all things along the way, and conceptual existence.

"Who the hell can withstand this?!"

Shinji Matou cursed viciously, and then he saw a terrifying force plummeting. The sky lit up with a rainbow of colors, like a soap bubble constantly deforming and expanding under internal pressure, on the verge of bursting.

Once the attack of the Divergent Sword breaks through the blockade of the imaginary space, the forest within a radius of several kilometers centered on the castle will be razed to the ground.

"In the name of the Command Spell, restore all magical power!"

Shinji Matou silently recited the incantation, and with another stroke of his hand, the Command Seal disappeared, while the magic power drained from his body was continuously replenished.

Shinji Matou wasn't particularly concerned about the Command Seals. After eliminating Archer, he could take a large number of Command Seals from Overseer Risei Kotomine to replenish them.

"The speed at which the imaginary space is repaired is far slower than the speed at which the Extinction Sword breaks through, so the only option is to repeatedly open the gate of imaginary numbers."

Shinji Matou clapped his hands, channeling his magical energy into the transmutation circle. The ritual circle lit up instantly, activating the transmutation circle again before the world-shattering force field could cleave the earth, wrapping the bubble with another layer.

"The second floor!"

buzz~

The rotating force broke through the first layer of imaginary space, and its volume expanded again. The Einzbern castle looked like a small stone in front of the huge force.

"The third floor!"

Shinji Matou was covered in sweat. The magic power he had just replenished with Command Spells was completely depleted within seconds, and the light patterns on his arm cracked, oozing blood.

Possessing a flowing origin and similar magical properties, Shinji Matou's speed in manipulating magic has exceeded the limits his body can withstand.

However, the third layer of imaginary space was still easily breached by the rotating field. With each layer of space breached, the power of the field increased exponentially.

"The fourth floor!" Shinji Matou roared with all his might.

呲味味~

The enormous sphere of force touched the gate that was suspended in the sky, and the terrifying aftershocks of magic exploded, whipping up a whirlwind that swept away the forest surrounding the castle.

The door that the temple opened shattered and disappeared in less than a second before the force field released by the Ea sword was unleashed.

"not good!"

Rider, who had fled to the far reaches of the forest, stared in horror at the force field sphere with a radius of several kilometers that was about to crash to the ground. Even from several kilometers away, he could feel the terrifying power contained within the force field. The Thunder Bull, which was pulling the wheel of the Divine Might, was restless and desperately wanted to escape from this place.

Archer's attack was a natural disaster, with a power comparable to a nuclear bomb and even a meteorite.

"That's a World-Defying Noble Phantasm. If this continues, Archer's attack will destroy the entire forest and even affect the city's residents."

The explosion itself wasn't particularly powerful, but the impact of the force of the explosion on the ground was enough to flatten at least half of Fuyuki City.

Weber groaned in anguish, “What monsters are they?”

On the other side of the forest, Irisviel watched this scene with worry and haste, as if she had made up her mind, and softly commanded Saber behind her: "Go, go help Caster."

Saber paused for a moment, then replied, "Irisviel, even if I wield Excalibur, I cannot stop the sword that cuts down the world."

“I understand, but you can do it, and there’s one more treasure.”

Saber said seriously, "Irisviel, you should know better than anyone the consequences of using Avalon."

“Avalon supports my humanity. If I use it, the humanity created based on Avalon will probably collapse soon, leaving only the minor Grail function. But I am already satisfied. Now is the time to make a decision. I want to protect you and stop the corrupted Grail War. Caster is more important than me.”

“But!” Saber hesitated, then stopped herself from speaking.

“Saber, you just said at the banquet that there are times when you have to make a choice. You are the King of Knights, and personal feelings will affect your judgment. Trust me, trust Caster, trust the you I believe in.”

"If this is your command, Master, I swear in the name of the King of Knights that I will obey."

Irisviel held out her hands, and the radiance gathered into a magnificent golden scabbard decorated with enamel, which she handed to Saber.

Avalon, the scabbard of the holy sword, is the strongest defensive artifact.

Saber touched the scabbard, a long-lost warmth flowing into her body. She nodded to her Master, picked up Avalon, and headed towards the castle.

After Saber had gone far away, Irisviel slumped to the ground, panting slightly, leaning against a tree trunk, her beautiful face showing a hint of pain.

"Is it a little bit of a stretch? But compared to what Mr. Caster has done, this is nothing. This is all the help I can offer."

Chapter Sixty-Six: Where Glory Leads

In the forest, using the light emanating from the field, Waver saw Saber's figure from the sky and wondered, "That's Saber. Why is she going to the castle?"

"It seems like they want to support Caster."

"Support? Why?"

"She is the Queen of Knights, and many innocent civilians will die if this disaster is not stopped."

Rider overestimated Saber. In Saber's time, her philosophy was generally that anyone who wasn't British was an enemy. Although this idea has changed somewhat now, she certainly wouldn't risk her life for a foreign city.

Saber is the type of person who would kill her own Master for the Holy Grail, and she has actually done so before.

······

"There is only one Command Seal left."

Shinji Matou was struggling to maintain the transmutation circle. Just as the wind pressure field was about to break through the seal of the imaginary space, he gritted his teeth and was about to use the third Command Seal when a petite and agile figure jumped over the roof and landed next to Shinji Matou.

"Saber, what are you doing here?"

Saber said succinctly, "Support, are you alright?"

"My body is somewhat exhausted, and I have very little magic left."

"Leave the rest to me. Archer's Noble Phantasm is more powerful than the concept of the boundary. I have a defensive Noble Phantasm."

Shinji Matou frowned, as if something had occurred to him, and asked, "You're planning to use Avalon?"

Saber nodded: "This is Irisviel's order. She wants to save you. If she loses you here, the plan to dismantle the Greater Grail will inevitably fail."

“Unnecessary worries,” Shinji Matou retorted stubbornly. The current situation was indeed the best time to use Avalon. In his original plan, Shinji Matou wanted to use Avalon to deal with Ea.

Even if we use the third Command Seal now, we don't know if it will be able to block this terrifying wind pressure field.

Saber glared at Shinji Matou: "Then Caster, do you have a way to deal with the current situation? If you can, I don't really want to use Avalon. You said that forcibly using Avalon would cause Irisviel's body to collapse."

"No, I know about Archer's Noble Phantasm, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful even without the Master's magical support. I'll leave it to you. Don't worry too much about Irisviel; I'll put Avalon back into her body."

"That's good."

Saber reached out, and golden light shimmered, forming the scabbard of the holy sword.

After a moment of silence, Shinji Matou nodded solemnly: "Get ready, Archer's Noble Phantasm attack is about to break through the spatial barrier."

"Understood. Find a place to hide. The scabbard can only protect me. I will try to use the scabbard to deflect this attack."

Saber leaped to the highest point of the castle, sword sheath in hand, gazing up at the falling spherical wind pressure field. Its immense size filled Saber's entire field of vision, like the sun falling, causing space to shatter inch by inch, and the leaking wind pressure cutting down a large number of trees on the ground.

Her power as a World Noble Phantasm surpasses that of her Excalibur.

Just as the wind pressure field was about to break through the imaginary space and crash to the ground, Saber threw out her sword sheath and shouted, "Unfurl! A utopian land far removed from the mortal world! (Avalon)"

He chanted the true name of the Noble Phantasm, and the golden scabbard disintegrated into hundreds of parts.

The radiance converged, enveloping Saber's body and manifesting as countless beams of light. Protected by her scabbard, Saber calmly watched as she finally broke through the imaginary space, unleashing the wind pressure field that bombarded the world.

Avalon can isolate the world from all physical or magical interference.

Avalon is the key to the fairy realm, and its concept is actually similar to the imaginary space opened up by Shinji Matou.

In the distance, the Divine Wheel desperately fled, and no matter how Rider tried to control it, it was useless. The wind pressure field that broke through the seal of the imaginary space directly tore the sky apart, the clouds dispersed, the rules of all things began to collapse, the earth cracked, and rock fragments, forest trees and rivers all fell towards the sky and were sucked into the center of the huge field.

The scene before my eyes was like the end of the world.

On the wheel of the Divine Might, Waver gripped the guardrail and stared blankly into the distance, exclaiming incredulously, "Light... what is that?"

He saw a golden light shining beneath the wind pressure field falling to the ground. Although it seemed insignificant in the face of the field, it was incredibly tenacious, blocking the field's downward momentum.

“It’s probably Saber’s Noble Phantasm, the one that’s famous throughout the world as the King of Knights… No, even if she used a Noble Phantasm that could block Archer’s Noble Phantasm, it would still be surprising enough. I’m helpless against that thing.” Rider was certain.

"The light has increased!"

The golden light that had been blocking the massive force field suddenly burst forth, and countless beams of light spread upwards along the wind pressure field, intertwining and weaving as if to envelop the sphere.

The speed of the Divine Wheels slowed down, and Rider was stunned. He looked around and, without realizing it, the earth, sky, and vegetation began to glow.

The light passed through Weber's body as if nothing had happened, but somehow his emotions calmed down, and he felt a strange feeling he had never experienced before.

Calm, peaceful, yet tinged with a hint of excitement.

Light is converging, as if enveloping that position is the highest mission, with infinite radiance converging.

Rider understood something and sighed deeply: "She was clearly a young girl, yet she gave up love, gave up poetry and dressing up, and dedicated herself to protecting her country and pursuing her ideals. How tragic... and yet how admirable."

He persevered for ten years and fought twelve battles without defeat. The ideal king paved the way for the country and established unparalleled achievements.

More rational than anyone else, more just than anyone else, and more aware of the weight of responsibility than anyone else.

This is a path that no one envies or understands.

It is precisely because of the ruggedness of this path that Saber's ideal shines all the brighter. This light is the crystallization of prayers called "Glory," which are the aspirations of countless warriors on battlefields throughout history for their ideal king, in order to protect their king.

The scabbard of the Holy Sword—Excalibur—was fully unfurled, its surging light weaving into countless beams that covered the field.

The night was as bright as day, and a huge golden cross rose up, accompanied by lights illuminating the entire city.

As it vanished, the world returned to peace.

Eindzbern Castle, its buildings, and the surrounding forest were all blown away, leaving a crater with a radius of over a kilometer and a depth of more than three meters. This damage was caused by the lingering effects of the attack.

Saber stood atop the ruins, gazing at the magnificent scabbard in her hand with a complex expression.

"Merlin, now I understand what you meant."

Between the sword and the scabbard, she had once chosen the sword, but now she finally understood the value of the scabbard.

The English name for Avalon cannot be typed due to censorship.

As for the true power of the Ea sword...

I referenced FSF and enhanced it slightly.

Furthermore, it was Gilgamesh's full-force attack, so its power couldn't possibly be as weak as Enkidu's.
