The shuttle in the second dimension

　It was indeed too strange. It had both a hilt and a guard, and was about the same length as an ordinary longsword.

　But the most crucial thing is that from the perspective of the [blade], it is too different from the traditional sword.

　The sword's blade was made up of three tightly connected cylinders. The seemingly blunt blade was twisted into a spiral shape. The three cylinders were slowly wrapped together like chains, swirling and extending outwards.

　"Be proud, Berserker—for allowing me to use this Noble Phantasm—"

Chapter 14: Sword of Departure vs. Sword of Departure

　"Be proud, Berserker—for allowing me to use this Noble Phantasm—"

　Boom—accompanied by the roar of a hurricane, a huge amount of magical power burst out from the blade of the strange sword in Gilgamesh's hand.

　"This is going to be interesting - I didn't expect that you would take out this treasure so early. You really value me, Hero King -" Lin Xuan said seriously, frowning.

　Although the Heavenly Chains could not lock Lin Xuan, it could still delay him for a while. Even if the time was short, it was enough for Gilgamesh to prepare his treasure. Although he could directly transform into wind or thunder to dodge the next attack, Lin Xuan did not seem to want to do so.

　"Ka-ka-ka-" He tore off the chain wrapped around his body.

　"Although I can dodge it, I don't want to do that——" Taking a step forward, Lin Xuan's scarlet eyes were filled with confidence.

　"Wake up! [EA]! The stage is ready for you to appear!"

　EA——In ancient Mesopotamian mythology, he is the god of [Heaven] and [Center] who is in charge of earth and water.

　The sword Gilgamesh called "Sword of Separation" was the original sword that witnessed the feat of creation in mythology. It was a treasure that split the chaotic sky and earth into two.

　"Look up!"

　"[Enuma·Elish (Star of the Creation of the Divorce between Heaven and Earth)]!"

　As Gilgamesh swung his Noble Phantasm, a massive surge of magical power, mixed with a will that seemed to tear heaven and earth apart, erupted.

　Just as Gilgamesh swung down his treasure, Lin Xuan suddenly raised his right hand and held it loosely.

　"I am the beginning of the beginning. All existence and non-existence, visible and invisible things are born out of my power." As the ancient words continued to chant from Lin Xuan's mouth, a surge of magic power surged from Lin Xuan's empty right hand. A hilt was gradually constructed by the magic power, and then the guard blade was also constructed. It was the [Sword of Separation (Ea)] in Gilgamesh's hand.

　"It just so happens that you've already finished analyzing the world, so you can just use it directly."

　"【Enuma·Elish (Star of Creation and Departure of Heaven and Earth)】!" Lin Xuan said the same words as Gilgamesh.

　"Buzz——!" Two huge streams of magical power were released from the two [Swords of Separation (Ea)] respectively. The unimaginable magical power shook the laws of the entire universe.

　Then Lin Xuan saw that all the space in front of the two [Swords of Separation (Ea)] began to vibrate, then collapsed and shattered.

　Yes, there is nothing wrong.

　It just collapsed and shattered.

　A red wind pressure filled with a terrifying aura burst out from the sword body of the [Sword of Separation (Ea)], which was formed by three cylindrical blades. After bursting out from the sword body, the red wind pressure (hx) formed a terrifying blood-red tornado, carrying the most terrifying wind pressure, sweeping forward, like a blood-red sharp blade, tearing apart the entire space in front of the obstacle.

　"boom----"

　Wherever the red wind pressure passed, the space seemed to be torn apart violently by something, and uneven spatial faults appeared. The black spatial faults were like open mouths, appearing even more terrifying.

　However, when another blood-red tornado carrying terrifying wind pressure appeared, the two tornadoes filled with terrifying power collided with each other.

　“——————” The world suddenly became quiet, but the quiet did not last long. An indescribable terrifying shock exploded from the interior of the church, and the red wind pressure swept around with terrifying power.

　"boom----"

　The surrounding environment could not withstand the confrontation between two extremely terrifying treasures. At the moment when the red wind pressure (hx) exploded, the entire church disappeared from this world in an instant.

　Everything was destroyed wherever the red wind pressure passed. The ground, which was already full of cracks, suddenly exploded, and countless pieces of rubble were lifted up, and then crushed into powder by the red wind pressure that was still raging.

　"Crack, crack, crack——" The innocent ground was destroyed beyond recognition by the sudden red wind pressure. Hideous cracks continued to spread from the position where Lin Xuan and Gilgamesh were, like a spider web.

　When the red wind pressure gradually dissipated, the front of Lin Xuan and Gilgamesh was filled with hideous space faults.

　"Why——you have..." Gilgamesh was shocked when he saw the treasure in Lin Xuan's hand that was exactly the same as his own. Judging from the power just now, it was not difficult to judge that the [Sword of Separation (Ea)] in Lin Xuan's hand and the [Sword of Separation (Ea)] in his hand were of the same level, so the possibility that it was a fake could almost be ruled out.

　But if that wasn't an imposter, Gilgamesh was a little confused.

　"You're talking about this——" Looking at the [Sword of Separation (Ea)] in his hand, Lin Xuan shrugged and said, "It's just a disposable item. If I don't maintain it, it will be gone." As if to confirm Lin Xuan's words, the [Sword of Separation (Ea)] in his hand suddenly dissipated.

　"What kind of weird ability is this——Hmph——" Gilgamesh frowned and snorted coldly.

　"Okay - I got what I wanted tonight, and I also moved around a bit. It feels pretty good -" After saying that, Lin Xuan turned around, as if he was about to leave.

　“Berserker——are you trying to escape?!”

　"Run away!?" Turning his head slightly, Lin Xuan said with a smile, "No, no, no, I just don't want the Holy Grail War to end so early. It would be too boring." After saying that, Lin Xuan turned his head back and slowly walked forward. Then, with his footsteps, his whole body began to become transparent, and finally disappeared and left the church.

　Only Gilgamesh was left standing there with a gloomy face, and the ruins left by the two people's bombardment with [Sword of Separation (Ea)].

　As for the old priest Kotomine Risei, he had already been reduced to ashes by the impact of the wind pressure generated by the two [Swords of Separation (Ea)].

Chapter 15 Untitled

　In the courtyard of the Matou residence,

　Matou Kariya was sitting in the corridor outside the house, staring blankly at the scenery in the yard. Suddenly, he felt a tap on his shoulder, which startled him and woke him up from his daze.

　"Hey, hey——Master, don't get excited, don't get excited." Seeing that Matou Kariya was frightened by his slap, Lin Xuan twitched his mouth and said.

　"Huh——it turned out to be Berserker. I was scared to death. Why is there no sound every time you come back? I really doubt whether you are Berserker or Assassin~~~~~~" Looking at Lin Xuan with lingering fear, Yan Ye breathed a sigh of relief and said.

　In response to this, Lin Xuan could only shrug helplessly.

　At this time, Matou Kariya also saw Lin Xuan's arms. Because Lin Xuan was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, the red Command Seals all over his arms were particularly obvious on his slightly fair skin.

　After seeing the Command Seals covering the entire arm, Kariya's eyes widened, a look of disbelief as he exclaimed.

　"How can there be such a Command Spell? Where have you been, Berserker!!!"

　Sitting next to Yan Ye, Lin Xuan smiled and said

　"I've said before, if this succeeds I won't have to worry about any magic power issues anymore——" Looking at his arm, Lin Xuan smiled with satisfaction and continued

　"You should also prepare yourself. It's almost time to help your body turn back time and return to normal."

　"What—" After hearing Lin Xuan's words, Kariya suddenly stood up and said excitedly. "Is it really possible?!" It was obvious that Kariya didn't want to die either, especially now that Sakura had been saved and needed her, he didn't want to die at all.

　"Okay - it's about a Command Seal." Lin Xuan's words were calm as if it was not a very important matter.

　"The cost and expense of reversing time are different. I only reverse the time in your body. Firstly, the impact on the world is minimal. Secondly, after all, your strength is not strong, and there is nothing very troublesome on your body. Although your vitality is almost drained, reversing time will only consume more magic power. So that's it————" Shrugging, Lin Xuan said indifferently

　"Hey, hey——only you can say that so easily." Seeing Lin Xuan's indifferent look, Yan Ye twitched his lips, although this action made his already ferocious face look even more ferocious.

　"It's okay~~~~~~" He replied casually, then Lin Xuan stretched out his hand to grab Yan Ye's collar and dragged him away. Yan Ye also resisted being dragged like this, but he was just an ordinary person, and all his resistance was directly ignored by Lin Xuan.

　······

　Lin Xuan casually took a bottle of soda from his bracelet and took a sip. He looked at Yan Ye who looked excited and asked, "How is it? How do you feel?"

　"In the past year, I've never felt as good as I do today. Thank you so much, Berserker—" Kariya was extremely excited to find that the activist had recovered his body.

　"Well, take your time to get excited. I'll go see Sakura——" As he said that, Lin Xuan casually threw a bottle of soda to Yan Ye. It was unknown whether Lin Xuan did it on purpose, but the bottle of soda hit Yan Ye's forehead directly and then fell into his hands.

　“Hey~!!! Berserker!! You did this on purpose!!!” Kariya roared, covering his red forehead.

　“Who knows~~~~~~”

　·····

　Looking at Sakura Matou sitting in the yard with empty eyes, Lin Xuan felt a little distressed.

　"Hey——Xiaoying" Lin Xuan said with a smile while sitting beside her.

　"Are you the big brother who helped Sakura heal her illness?" Looking at Lin Xuan, Sakura's eyes gradually regained some color and no longer looked so empty.

　"Hmm..." Lin Xuan responded softly, stretched out his right hand with the bracelet in front of Xiaoying, and then turned it casually, and an exquisite little snack appeared in Lin Xuan's hand.

　"Well, try it, it tastes pretty good——" Lin Xuan said gently while looking at Xiaoying with a smile.

　Sakura took the snack Lin Xuan handed her and her eyes lingered on Lin Xuan's arm covered with Command Seals for a while. Then she looked up at Lin Xuan and asked softly, "Big Brother, are you a magician participating in this Holy Grail War?"

　"It seems that Sakura knows a lot——" Looking at the Command Seal on his arm, Lin Xuan said, "How should I put it, big brother is not a magician, let alone a magician participating in the Holy Grail War, but big brother is a heroic spirit participating in this Holy Grail War." He gently touched Sakura's head. When Lin Xuan was reversing the time of Sakura's body that day, he did not revers the time of her hair, so her hair still retains its purple color.

　"Is that so——" Sakura responded softly, then lowered her head and carefully tasted the snacks that Lin Xuan gave her.

　"Hey, Xiaoying," Lin Xuan suddenly said, looking at the twinkling stars in the sky, "Let's go out and play tomorrow."

　“Eh??? But————” Sakura tilted her head in confusion and looked at Lin Xuan with some puzzlement.

　"There's nothing to worry about. Let's just leave it at that, Sakura." Lin Xuan said, gently touching Sakura's smooth purple hair.

　"Hmm——" Sakura lowered her head and let Lin Xuan touch her little head, and responded softly.

　·······

　After Sakura fell asleep, Lin Xuan quietly left the room. As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw Matou Kariya standing in the corridor.

　"What's wrong? Why don't you go and rest——"

　"It's nothing, I just can't quite believe it. I'm afraid that after I fall asleep, I'll wake up and find that all this was just a dream—" Shaking his head, Kariya said.

　"Is that so? But I still think it's better for you to take a rest." Turning around, Lin Xuan said with Yan Ye on his back.

　"But is it really okay for you to accompany Sakura like this? Aren't you going to win the Holy Grail War? Don't you need to prepare anymore? Although you are very strong, you have also solved your most troublesome magic problem." Looking at Lin Xuan's back, Yan Ye asked.

　After hearing Yan Ye's words, Lin Xuan stopped and said, "Ready? I think I'm ready. Although I can't fully display my strength in this world, if I want, I can find all the Heroic Spirits within half a day, eliminate them, and end this Holy Grail War. However—" Having said this, Lin Xuan paused, then turned his head slightly to look at Yan Ye, and said with a smile, "—Don't you think that would be too boring—"

　After leaving these words, Lin Xuan continued to walk forward, leaving Yan Ye standing alone in the corridor, silent for a long time.

Chapter 16 Play

　Back in his own room, Lin Xuan found a corner to sit down and leaned against the wall.

　Raising his right arm filled with spell power, Lin Xuan watched silently and smiled.

　"I wonder what the participating Masters would do if they knew what happened today. And Tōsaka Tokiomi, with only one Command Seal left, he must be panicking, haha~~~~"

　Putting down his raised right arm, Lin Xuan tilted his head back slightly, leaned against the wall, closed his eyes and murmured softly:

　"There's no need to worry about any errors in this Holy Grail War. All that's left is to watch the show—"

　"Hey——System, what will happen to me after the Fourth Holy Grail War ends? And how will I appear in the Fifth Holy Grail War——"

　"Tip: After the end of this Holy Grail War, the host will have seven days of free time. After seven days, they will directly jump to the Fifth Holy Grail War and participate in the Fifth Holy Grail War as a Servant."

　After listening to the electronic sound of the system in his mind, Lin Xuan said with some regret
