Shirou, who returned from the Fairy Kingdom

Zouken Matou narrowed his eyes, instinctively sensing danger: the brat had just called those two swords "Blades of Chaos"?

Even though he had lived for half a millennium, the old magician had never heard of such a thing.

The overwhelming presence emanating from those flaming twin blades far surpassed any divine weapon he knew of so far.

However, he had never heard of it before?

In fact--

Not to mention Matou Zouken, even Shirou himself didn't know their origins.

……

"As expected... no matter how much magic I pour into it, I can't get the blade to catch fire."

Morgan, the blonde girl known as Ash the Savior, observes the chain double-edged swords with astonishment.

As a fairy of paradise burdened with a certain mission, Morgan may not be as good as Shirou, but she also has a natural affinity for swords.

However, the strange chain blades that Shirou projected were rejecting the fairy of paradise.

"Hmph," Morgan pouted, clearly displeased.

"Don't be jealous of weapons," Shirou said with a wry smile.

"Who's jealous?" Morgan glared at him. "Shirou, where did you see these two swords?"

"Can not remember."

"Don't you remember?"

"Yes," the red-haired boy nodded honestly. "I have no recollection of where these two knives came from. I don't know when they started appearing in my mind."

Shirou is able to store all the prototypes (swords) he has seen in his body and copy them when needed.

But there were also some weapons that he had never seen before, yet seemed to have been etched into the depths of the boy's memory from the very beginning—

This pair of "Chaos Blades" is one of them.

"I see. You really are incredible."

Morgan gave the red-haired boy a deep look: "But listen carefully, Shirou, these chain blades haven't yet unleashed their true power."

Shirou blinked: "Really? I really like it. It performs well in all sorts of battlefield environments, so you could say it's my best-matched weapon."

Morgan shook his head: "This is not its true power."

Shirou said dejectedly, "I'm sorry, I'm just a third-rate magician and a self-taught swordsman. Morgan is really harsh."

"That's not what I meant! Really! Shirou is clearly exceptionally talented, yet he always belittles himself, and I really dislike that about him."

Morgan sighed and asked seriously, "Shirou, do you know about 'gods'?"

"My homeland...the one in the human world?"

"That's right, the one referred to as 'god' or 'spirit' in pan-human history does not exist on our Fairy Island."

Therefore… in the fairy world, the "Blade of Chaos" cannot unleash its true, hidden power.

Shirou hummed in agreement, stroking the blade as he said, "Even so, I'll still choose it."

Upon hearing this, Morgan revealed a gentle yet stern smile.

"I knew you'd say that. This is the Shirou I know."

……

……

"--hiss."

Shirou Amamiya took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart.

How should we express the emotions that are boiling over at this moment?

Shirou thought he would never have the chance to wield these two blades again.

However, fate seemed to prevent him from returning to an ordinary life.

A pilgrimage, the autumn war, the final battle against the great calamity...

Just by gripping the hilt of the sword, long-forgotten memories flooded back into my mind.

Suddenly, the aura surrounding Amamiya Shirou changed.

From this moment on, he was no longer a boy who was indulging in peaceful city life, but became the Fairy Knight King who unified Britain with absolute power.

The boy's pupils pulsed with an inextinguishable flame powerful enough to burn away all evil insects.

"ah------!!"

The girl's screams echoed in the workshop.

Sakura Matou, who was left at the edge of the pit, was exhausted and slipped, falling in.

While the girl was still in mid-air, the lewd insects at the bottom of the pit seemed to sense that delicious bait was about to arrive, and they all let out piercing cries and stirred like waves of black mud.

The vile swarm of insects rushed towards Matou Sakura's landing spot, but—

The sound of chains echoed above the underground workshop.

Just as the girl was about to fall into the insect's mouth, a chain suddenly shot out.

It is the "Blade of Chaos".

Shirou swung his right arm and threw a curved blade, which, along with the chain that shot out, bound the girl's waist.

The chain blade, which was over ten meters long, now seemed like an extension of his arm.

Precision and speed are the embodiment of the martial arts skills that Shirou Amemiya painstakingly honed.

"cherry."

"Brother Shirou!"

The red-haired boy pulled Matou Sakura back, caught her steadily, and held her in his arms.

It doesn’t end there.

Shirou swung his free left arm and fired another curved blade in the same manner.

The burning blade was firmly embedded in the ground at the bottom of the pit, and several lewd worms were killed on the spot.

"!"

Zouken Matou seemed to realize something.

The withered face contorted with fear as it screamed hysterically.

"No! Stop! Kid, stop right now... Do you know how much effort I've put in—"

"All I know is that pests should die."

Amamiya Shirou spoke in a low voice.

A flickering flame burst forth from his palm, swiftly piercing the chains like a lit fuse, reaching the blade in an instant—

"boom----!!"

With a violent explosion, Zouken Matou's prized insect bank was instantly transformed into a fiery inferno.

Crackling...

The wicked worms were all burned to ashes.

Volume 1, Chapter 10: Commit Suicide!

Sakura Matou's eyes widened, speechless with astonishment.

Are you dreaming?

Everything that happened tonight was truly unbelievable.

No matter how you look at it, it's a nightmare.

However, the gentle warmth emanating from the girl's shoulder, and Shirou's embrace of Sakura's arm, told her that this was not a dream.

Moreover... even if it really was just a dream, Matou Sakura thought to herself, it was definitely not a nightmare.

"They're getting ready to escape."

The boy's whisper interrupted the girl's thoughts.

"Huh? Oh dear—!"

Sakura Matou gasped in surprise because Shirou suddenly picked her up in a princess carry.

Then, Shirou ran away without looking back.

"You wretched brat! How dare you... Don't you dare escape!"

The old magician glared with bloodshot, furious eyes, his body transforming into a swarm of insects as he gave chase.

If it were Shirou Amemiya in his prime, he naturally wouldn't take a bug user like Zouken Matou seriously.

In "Britain," any random country fairy possesses fighting power comparable to a human magician, not to mention the calamities that even fairies avoid.

Among those black enemies, the insect-type calamities were the most troublesome for the rescue team.

The reason is that Morgan goes berserk and becomes completely incapable of fighting when faced with insects.

One can only imagine how much Shirou suffered to wipe her bottom and how deep his resentment towards the pest was.

He was once even given the title of "Insect Exterminator Knight" because he burned a large number of caterpillar calamities during a battle one night.

Unfortunately, Shirou is only 7 years old, his body is not yet mature, and he has never undergone systematic training.

Just projecting the "Blade of Chaos" consumed most of his magic power, and burning down the insect silo just now squeezed out almost all of the remaining power.

Fortunately, the other side also had very few members left.

Zouken Matou's main fighting force comes from his insect arsenal, so this is essentially a base swap.

Shirou carried Matou Sakura out of the workshop, while Matou Zouken chased after him relentlessly, cursing all the while.

"You ungrateful brat, who do you think took you in!"

Centuries of savings were destroyed in an instant, leaving Zouken Matou with nothing but regret.

He had actually secretly investigated Shirou Amamiya and knew about how he met his grandson.

But he didn't take it to heart.

Even though she knew Shirou was a brat who couldn't stand evil and hated wickedness, she still kept him at the mansion because she found it amusing.

"Kid, do you really want to be a champion of justice?"

Zouken Matou threatened in a frenzied manner.

"I will use insects to control your body and violate the daughter of the Tohsaka family! I will let you experience true despair!"

That pool of lewd insects was not only the source of Zouken Matou's power, but also the foundation upon which he maintained his physical body.

After losing the Hive, the old magician's remaining lifespan was not even enough for him to live to see the next Holy Grail War 60 years from now.

For Zouken Matou, the desire to "survive" outweighed everything else, which is why he was so enraged that he lost his mind.

"boom----!!"

The passageway leading from the workshop to the mansion collapsed amidst the explosion.

"Ugh!"

The stained inkstone of the mahogany tree let out a mournful cry.

Caught off guard, a huge pile of rubble fell from above and completely buried him.

This was something Shirou Amamiya had done beforehand; he had buried homemade improvised explosive devices in the ceiling of the passageway.

Demolition by blasting – This is a highly complex blasting technique mainly used to demolish large, high-rise buildings.

By breaking the most important support in a building at a single point, the weight of the building itself can cause the entire structure to collapse inward.

This technique, which uses minimal explosives to reduce buildings to rubble more efficiently and effectively, can be considered a destructive art.
