Honkai Impact: Dreams and the Holy Grail, but the Servant is Rei.

His right shoulder, along with his entire right hand, was now useless.

The wound is slowly healing under the influence of [magic power] and the sub-Servant's constitution, but it will take at least 10 minutes to heal completely.

Saber [Yun Li] raised the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword, which was as tall as her, and at this moment, Saber's surging [Magic Power] was released, beginning to prepare for the true [Perception and Annihilation]!

Just like when she first appeared, she can unleash [Insightful Annihilation] even without anyone triggering her counterattack!

White petals drifted silently down from the sky, one by one; they were the nameless wildflowers that [Xi Lian] had given him.

Is this a sign that the story is finally over? That's really twisted of a taste!

Meng Weiyu covered her wound with her left hand, remained silent for a few seconds, and then laughed silently:

"Chang Letianjun! Dare to make an interesting bet with me?" His gaze was dark and resolute, with a trace of blood still lingering at the corner of his mouth.

"Bribing the referees is prohibited during the competition!" A voice imitating the teacher [Jimi] rang in my ears.

There's a chance! If there wasn't, He wouldn't have spoken!

"Really not going to gamble? Compared to just casually ending things here and dying, wouldn't it be more interesting if I created something bigger and more fun?"

"You've already gone all out to use the final form of [Gan Jiang Mo Xie] to bait and fish for [Demon Sword Hunter], why not go a little bigger?"

Meng Weiyu completely disregarded Saber [Yun Li]'s presence. With a slightly distorted smile, his last words sounded like a provocation, a mockery, and a shout.

Saber [Yun Li], corrupted by the Holy Grail, remained silent, only silently accumulating the power of [Perception and Annihilation].

The giant sword in her hand kept growing larger, and now the tip of the vertically standing sword had already exceeded the second floor!

If the mall's shops weren't arranged in an O-shape, the ceiling on the second floor would have already been pierced by the "old iron".

But in the next instant, all time froze, and Aha's true form once again turned its gaze to Meng Weiyu!

"Oh? You want to gamble that you can survive her full-force attack?" Aha stopped pretending to be [Gimi] and used the voice he had when they first met.

"Or are you betting that you'll use your little tricks that cover the entire mall to stall for 10 minutes until you're fully healed?"

"These two ways to play are so boring!" the young man, who was no better than a blade of grass compared to the Star God, mocked.

"Since you're looking for thrills, why not go all the way?"

"What's the final form of Gan Jiang and Mo Xie compared to a Servant whose body is made of swords? Wouldn't a Servant with swords as their bones be much more attractive to a Demon Sword Hunter?"

"I will defeat her within 10 minutes!"

The smiling mask was now scrutinizing the wounded young man in dire straits. After a pause of one second, it let out a joyful laugh.

"As expected of an extraterrestrial pioneer who embarked on a path of pleasure from the very beginning, he truly brings me many unexpected joys~"

"I saw through your ideas twice, but you still came up with an even bolder one at the last minute!"

"Then so be it! Have fun!"

Meng Weiyu was so shocked after hearing only the first half of the sentence that he didn't pay attention to what was said afterward.

A life of joy? How can an ordinary working person like me, molded into a well-behaved and obedient individual by my parents, school, and society, possibly walk a path of joy?

Aha withdrew his gaze, and the frozen time began to flow again. At this moment, the golden entry for [Projection Magic] on Meng Weiyu's mental panel began to melt!

In an instant, it melted and reformed. Its name, level, and number of uses remained unchanged, but its color turned into a bright crimson!

【Projection Magic - Red】: 1. After gaining sufficient knowledge of the relevant objects and materials, one can use 【magic power】 to materialize the image of inanimate objects in one's mind. The effect can last up to 10 minutes, depending on the level of mastery.

2. You have 10 minutes to automatically acquire all the stats and abilities of the Servant [Archer Emiya] at peak condition! The cooldown is 24 system hours in-game!

Meng Weiyu used the second ability of this brand-new red entry without hesitation!

At the same time, his attributes as a pseudo-Servant also underwent a drastic change:

[Demi-Servant (Limited to this Holy Grail War)]: Meng Weiyu (Archer Emiya) (9:59)

[Job Category]: archer

[Strength]: D

[Magic]: B

[Durability]: C

[Lucky]: E

[Agility]: C

[Noble Phantasm]: Unlimited Blade Works (Cannot use Reality Marble in this Holy Grail War)

[Inherent Skills]: [Magic Resistance D], [Independent Action B]

Although compared to Caster, his current stats of Strength, Endurance, and Dexterity have only seen a slight increase, and even Luck and Magic Power have decreased, Archer Emiya's Magic Resistance D and Solo Action B skills are not very helpful to him.

However, he noticed that the comment "No Servants and Demi-Servants are unable to use No Servants in this Holy Grail War" was no longer in the Noble Phantasm section.

The inability to activate the Reality Marble does not mean that he cannot use the incomplete version of the Noble Phantasm Unlimited Blade Works. In fact, he has a greater advantage in the current terrain!

Within those 10 minutes, he gained the initial ability to borrow the power of Unlimited Blade Works!

The nameless wildflower given by [Xi Lian] is now blooming deep within his consciousness, and he can still use the sub-Servant body and power given by [Xi Lian]!

"I am the bone of my sword."

At this moment, Meng Weiyu placed his left hand on his chest, bowed slightly to Saber [Yun Li] in the distance to pay his respects, and began the incantation for Unlimited Blade Works.

At the same instant, a giant sword, taller than three stories high, crashed down with raging flames!

Chapter 12 A Heart Like Crystal, Yet Heavenly Swords Fall Like Rain

Like seven petals, the [Sevenfold Ring of Blazing Sky] was projected out. However, this time, what was projected was no longer an imagined artificial material, but a direct projection of Ajax's conceptual armor that had been sublimated after the Trojan War.

But under the crushing weight of the massive, heavy black flaming sword, its "petals" gradually began to shatter one by one.

After the four "petals" shattered, the maintenance of the [Sevenfold Ring of Blazing Heaven] projection was canceled, giving its owner time to transfer!

At this moment, Meng Weiyu, relying on his Archer's "Agility C" ability, was dozens of meters away from the greatsword.

“Steel is my body,” he continued chanting, clutching his injured right shoulder.

The giant sword landed but did not unleash the expected destructive power. Instead, the force was cleverly transformed into a terrifying sweep that engulfed Meng Weiyu!

There was nothing around the extremely spacious central open space in the mall that could be used for support, but Meng Weiyu suddenly flew into the air and dodged the attack!

Beneath his feet was a large glass ceiling that had been cut from the top of the mall, and it was now sliding back towards the top along with several other sections around it.

This was one of many arrangements he had made over the past three days, and he had spent a lot of time and effort trying to make them fall down without making a big noise.

Fortunately, the center of the selected shopping mall was spacious enough, and its load-bearing structure was also arranged in an "O" shape around it; otherwise, this single blow would have completely destroyed the building.

“And fire is my blood.” Meng Weiyu’s right shoulder wound gleamed with a crimson light.

It wasn't healing magic at all; he was just gathering [magic power] and forcibly catalyzing it to make the wound heal quickly!

Saber [Yun Li] retracted her ever-shrinking giant sword and rushed toward the artificial escalator at the edge.

She stopped throwing the greatsword, perhaps out of caution against the time stop and the constantly healing barrier, or perhaps simply because she wanted to get close to the enemy again for a simple and efficient attack!

With just a few leaps and dodges, she could close the distance between herself and Meng Weiyu!

With a snap of his fingers, all the escalators and other structures that could be climbed instantly turned into countless tiny pieces that had been pre-cut into pieces!

"I have created over a thousand blades."

At this moment, Meng Weiyu was standing on the top floor of the building, looking down through the glass at the girl who was temporarily unable to come.

He leaped lightly, leaving the huge glass ceiling on the rooftop and soaring towards the high center of the ceiling!

A wide glider with a wingspan of over five meters appeared out of thin air. Its two sides were black and white, and its shape was similar to the previous ultimate form of Gan Jiang and Mo Xie, which made him float in the air for a short time.

Saber [Yun Li]'s giant sword expanded once more. This time, she would use the charged [Penetration - Annihilation] to attack the building's load-bearing structure and completely destroy it!

He snapped his fingers with his previously injured right hand, which now regained its mobility.

At the same time, all the glass in the ceiling shattered!

The glass shards were deliberately broken into sharp shapes, and they seemed to be propelled by something as they fell rapidly!

Their timeline was shortened, reverting them to their previous state before the fall!

The black greatsword had to stop charging up its attack and instead parried all the shards of glass that were thrusting straight at it.

At this moment, due to the restriction of not being able to use the inherent barrier, it was pointless for Meng Weiyu to continue chanting.

He repositioned himself on the rooftop, surrounded by projected [Pseudo-Spiral Swords] that resembled thorns, forming a circle around him. These were said to be demonic swords forged by the Elven Kingdom, imbued with the power of heavenly lightning.

These hundreds of projected [Pseudo-Spiral Swords] were enough for him!

The true power of [Unlimited Blade Works] lies not in its so-called Reality Marble, but in its ability to unleash an abnormal projection of a Noble Phantasm counterfeit within the Reality Marble with minimal [mana] consumption!

"[Broken Fantasy]!"

Seizing the brief moment when Saber [Yunli] blocked the glass shards, Meng Weiyu activated the unique technique of [Archer Emiya], known as [Fantasy Collapse]!

This involves using the projected replica of the Noble Phantasm, the [False Spiral Sword], as an arrow to detonate the [magical power] contained within it before the projection disappears, thus generating immense destructive power.

Although no one can use Noble Phantasms in this Holy Grail War, it is possible to use Noble Phantasms with much weaker power!

Servants' Noble Phantasms are usually incredibly valuable, but to Archer Emiya, they are mere imitations projected at will.

The expanding black greatsword, wreathed in flames, shattered the [Pseudo-Spiral Sword]. Saber [Yun Li] only retreated a short distance before preparing to counterattack.

But there was no time to retaliate, as the next [Pseudo-Spiral Sword] followed immediately.

Meng Weiyu's face remained expressionless as he continued to frantically consume his [magic power], mechanically drawing the [pseudo-spiral sword] from his side time and time again.

He was not stingy with his use of magic; he only had ten minutes!

The battle seemed to have fallen into a cycle, with one side launching a relentless and frantic attack from an unreachable position, while the other side constantly defended but remained unscathed.

The only thing affected was the building; one side of it had already been affected by Saber [Yunli]'s constant retreat and collapsed due to the aftershocks of the [Pseudo-Spiral Sword].

The dust and debris that had just been stirred up after the collapse were immediately swallowed up by the next explosion.

The area where Meng Weiyu stood was unaffected because it had already been renovated. Rather than being part of the building, it was more like an independent platform that had been cut off and destroyed from the surrounding area to prevent any potential impact!

With 10 seconds left in the 10-minute timer, Meng Weiyu stopped her attack.

Because his next attack will deplete most of his [magic power]!

Of course, even if you run out of mana, it doesn't matter. If you return to Caster mode and have "[Magic] A+", you'll still have a lot of [Magic].

The golden [Pioneer Memory] and red [Projection Magic] entries in the system panel activated simultaneously!

All the [Pseudo-Spiral Swords] that were just launched have been projected back!

Previously, he would deliberately change his position after each use of [Broken Fantasty], but he never went beyond the 20-meter radius of the [Pathfinder Memory] gold affix!

"Goodbye, Saber," Meng Weiyu said softly.

"I don't want to be your enemy, but I want to get the Holy Grail alive and leave this place!"

Just as he spoke, dozens of [Pseudo-Spiral Swords] were activated and launched simultaneously!

But at that moment, something unexpected happened!

【Outer Territory Pioneer - White - Level 1 (7/10)】! This change in the entry flashed through Meng Weiyu's mind!

Several flying swords flew in at an even faster speed like streaks of light. They collided with each other, creating a violent explosion!

The first [Pseudo-Spiral Sword] to explode engulfed and destroyed the other [Pseudo-Spiral Swords] without triggering a chain reaction of explosions. The explosions reduced the mall to ruins, with only Meng Weiyu's side barely escaping unscathed due to prior precautions.

A massive, ice-blue greatsword, comparable in weight to the black greatsword wielded by Saber [Yun Li], slashed down from the sky with the same swiftness!

It destroyed the transparent defense behind Meng Weiyu with overwhelming force and pierced through his body!

Deep within her consciousness, the blooming wildflowers given by [Xi Lian] seemed to be battered by a fierce wind, their petals falling one by one.

In the end, I still couldn't protect the flowers she gave me... Meng Weiyu's vision went black, and she briefly lost consciousness.

On a tall building in the distance behind him, a young man wearing a dark blue robe with cloud patterns stood floating in the air.

He is a genius swordsman who became famous in his childhood on the Immortal Ship "Luofu", and also an archer [Yanqing] who is equally skilled in using flying swords!

Chapter 13 The Fool Behind the Scenes

Inside the luxurious room on the top floor of the "tavern," Giovanni, the "Masked Fool," scrutinized the young man before him, dressed in spotless white clothes and wearing a "Fool's Mask" that covered the upper half of his face, through the red, black, and white tricolor mask.

"The new generation of 'Masked Fools' are much more skilled than I was back then," he remarked.
