Chapter 462: Anti-Ghost Killing

“Boom!”

Although Artoria didn’t know why Berserker still launched such an attack on her after knowing Avalon’s ability, Artoria would not be polite to Aylin.

Excaliber, which had merged with Aylin’s spiritual pressure, attacked Aylin again.

This time, Aylin did not use the Seven-fold Ring of Blazing Sky.

Instead, it was the Underworld Tessaiga.

“Underworld – Full Moon Break!”

“Boom!”

The Underworld Tessaiga in Aylin’s hand cut out a space of the Underworld with a diameter of more than ten meters, which directly swallowed Artoria’s attack this time.

Like Avalon, the Underworld Tessaiga can also open the space of the Underworld.

Although this ability cannot protect all attacks like Avalon, it can also send most of the attacks on Aylin to the Underworld.

“I wonder if Avalon’s ability can return the attacks containing space?”

With such doubts, Aylin swung the knife in his hand at the position where Artoria was.

"Underworld - Zangyue Slash!"

"Boom!"

A dozens-meter-long Underworld space slash flew out and collided with the space in front of Artoria.

The star-like slash twisted when it touched the space barrier in front of Artoria.

The Underworld space opened by Tessaiga and the space of the isolated utopia opened by Artoria Avalon intertwined and devoured each other.

But in the end, the Underworld slashed by Tessaiga was completely devoured by Avalon.

No matter how strong the Underworld is, the Underworld slashed by Tessaiga is only a tiny part of it.

On the contrary, although the isolated utopia constructed by Avalon after his true name was released is not large in area, its status is a complete "world". It is normal for it to devour part of the Underworld.

"This ability..."

Feeling the ability that seems to be able to slash through space from the Sword of Promised Victory, Artoria looked at Berserker with a more solemn look.

However, since Berserker had sent this ability to her, if she didn't use it, she would be underestimated by Berserker.

At this stage, Artoria also saw that Berserker was forcing her to use Avalon's ability.

Obviously, when she used Avalon's ability, the other party's analysis speed of Avalon would increase.

"Ex-caliber!"

The golden light, wrapped in the starry sky-like Hades in the center, cut through the space and attacked Aylin.

"Dance wildly-Raikoon!"

Another Zanpakutō was released by Aylin, and the double-headed pheasant sword rotated clockwise to memorize this space. Then Aylin immediately rotated Raikoon counterclockwise to read the previously recorded space.

"Buzz--"

A gray light emerged, and a slash that was slightly dimmer than the Excaliber light flew out of the gray picture and collided with the slash from Artoria.

"Boom!"

The two identical slashes collided and burst out with great power.

A mushroom cloud over 100 meters high rose, and the violent shock wave shook the Zanpakuto standing in the sky.

"Eighty-four percent..."

Sensing that the Infinite Sword System's resolution of Avalon had exceeded 80%, Aylin's mouth corners slightly raised.

Having withstood so many of his attacks without any damage, Avalon is worthy of being the strongest defensive treasure in the Type-Moon world.

Next, Aylin replaced a variety of powerful Zanpakuto to attack Artoria, quickly increasing his analysis of Avalon's abilities.

Ninety-seven percent...

Ninety-eight percent...

Ninety-nine percent...

One hundred percent!

"Boom!"

Artoria slashed with a sword, and habitually raised the Sword of Promised Victory in her hand again.

However, this time, Artoria did not wait for Aylin's attack.

The surrounding space began to change.

The black and red light faded, and the fiery red sky dissipated, revealing the bright moonlight and the stars in the sky.

"Saber, I will accept your Avalon with gratitude."

"Let's stop here today."

"The next battle will be the time for us to completely decide the winner!"

"No, Berserker is trying to escape!"

Hearing Aylin's words, Artoria was shocked and immediately burst out her own magic power to chase in the direction of Aylin's retreat.

"Stop, don't try to escape, Berserker!"

Artoria shouted.

In this battle with Berserker, Artoria has already played all her cards.

From Berserker's words, Artoria can hear that her strongest treasure Avalon has been completely analyzed by the other party.

If she doesn't take advantage of the opportunity now that Berserker consumes too much energy to open the inherent barrier to defeat Berserker, then next time, she will have no chance of winning at all.

After all, after the first battle, Berserker took out a replica that was more powerful than his own Sword of Promised Victory.

Next time, if the opponent has a weapon stronger than Avalon, no, it doesn't need to be stronger than Avalon, but just a weapon similar to Avalon, then Altria's chance of winning will be zero.

So, even if Berserker retreats, Artoria will chase him and make Berserker completely withdraw before Berserker creates Avalon tonight.

"Ex-caliber!"

"Boom!"

In the sky, Aylin frowned as he watched Artoria's attack.

After completely analyzing Avalon, Aylin no longer wanted to continue fighting with Artoria.

After all, the barrier released after Avalon's liberation can isolate Artoria from this world.

Aylin's current means of attack cannot break Avalon's barrier at all, and cannot cause fatal damage to Artoria.

In this way, no matter how long Aylin and Artoria fight, they can't tell who lives or dies.

In this case, Aylin might as well fight Gilgamesh and grab all the sword treasures in Gilgamesh's treasure.

However, now it seems that Artoria doesn't think so.

She seemed to think that she, who possessed Avalon, could fight back?

The black and red spiritual pressure bloomed in Aylin's hands and collided with the torrent of light slashed by Altria.

However, what shocked Altria was that the golden torrent of light did not explode when it collided with the black and red spiritual pressure, nor did it feel like it hit a real object.

Instead, the torrent of light of Excaliber and the black and red magic in Berserker's hand offset each other.

"What kind of ability is this?"

Using the black and red spiritual pressure in his hand to crush the last golden light, Aylin looked at Altria on the ground.

The move he just showed was an advanced skill for using the ghost spiritual pressure.

——Counter-killing ghosts!

By releasing the ghost spiritual pressure with the same energy intensity as the opponent and the opposite attack nature, the ghost attack released by the opponent can be completely offset.

Altria's Sword of Promised Victory has been completely analyzed by Ayrin. After fighting in Infinite Blade Works for such a long time, Ayrin is also very familiar with the magic power that explodes when Altria releases the Sword of Promised Victory.

In this case, it is not difficult for Ayrin to use the ability of anti-ghost killing to offset the Excaliber released by Altria.

"Saber, although with my current ability, I can't do anything to you who owns Avalon."

"I just want to save the battle with you for the last."

"If you continue to pursue me, I can't guarantee that I will use the inherent barrier in the next battle."

"You should know that with my strength, if there is no inherent barrier, not to mention this castle, even the entire Fuyuki City will be destroyed by our battle."

"By then, I can't guarantee whether your Master can survive the aftermath of our attack, Saber."

"How long can you stay in the world without your Master?"

After dispersing the spiritual pressure in his hand, Aylin said to Artoria condescendingly: "Of course, if you still insist on fighting me, I will definitely stay and accompany you."

"In all these years, I have never avoided any battle!"

"Damn it!"

Artoria gritted her teeth.

However, she also knew that what Berserker said was true.

If Berserker did not open the inherent barrier, the battle between the two would indeed cause devastating damage to the real world.

Berserker is not a creature of this world, so he can ignore the humans of this world.

But Saber can't.

The Heroic Spirits that can be contracted by the Alaya of the Hall of Heroes, whether good or evil, exist to continue the survival of mankind.

If there is a crisis of world destruction, these Heroic Spirits are the strongest and last foundation of the human beings in this world.

Therefore, Artoria will not start a war that may destroy all the humans in Fuyuki City.

Seeing that Artoria stopped, Aylin's figure flashed and disappeared from Artoria's eyes.

After clenching her fist, Artoria turned around and began to look for the traces of Kiritsugu Emiya and Irisviel.

Now, only three Servants are still in this Holy Grail War.

Tomorrow or the night after tomorrow may be the time when this Holy Grail War ends.

Artoria has broken her promise to Irisviel and failed to fulfill her promise to protect Irisviel in this Holy Grail War.

Therefore, even if it was to make up for her debt to Irisviel, Artoria decided that she would not let anything happen to Irisviel's husband, Emiya Kiritsugu, her master.

Of course, Artoria also knew that the main reason why she failed to fulfill her promise to Irisviel was that Irisviel had concealed the truth from her.

Given Irisviel's special nature, if she wanted to protect her well, she could only ensure that all the Servants in this Holy Grail War did not die.

However, this was not something Artoria could do at all.

After all, this had violated the original intention of the Holy Grail War.

Without the death of the Servant, Irisviel could not absorb the Servant's soul and transform into the Lesser Holy Grail.

If the Great Holy Grail does not become the Lesser Holy Grail, there will be no carrier for the Great Holy Grail to descend, and neither the magicians nor the Servants who participated in the Holy Grail War could accept it.

After all, the magicians participated in the Holy Grail War because they wanted to take the root of the world with them when the Holy Grail descended, thus becoming the third magician.

And the Servants participated in the Holy Grail War because they wanted to use the huge magic power of the Holy Grail to realize their unfulfilled wishes during their lifetime.

The promise that Altria made to Irisviel was doomed to fail from the beginning.

…

"This Holy Grail War is really interesting."

After returning to the Matou residence, Aylin looked up at the church.

He did not expect that after transferring Irisviel away, Emiya Kiritsugu did not stay by Irisviel's side, but sneaked into the church and killed Kotomine Risho, the Pope's supervisor, Kotomine Kirei's father.

I wonder if Kotomine Kirei, who knows about his father's death, will take the hero king Gilgamesh to seek revenge on Emiya Kiritsugu tomorrow night?

However, based on what I know about Kotomine Kirei, perhaps Kotomine Kirei would thank Emiya Kiritsugu for killing his last bond.

After sensing the situation at the Matou residence, Irene sat cross-legged in front of the courtyard, immersed his mind in the inherent barrier, and began to make Avalon, which I had completely analyzed at night.

"Identify the creative concept..."

"Imagine the basic framework..."

"Copy the constituent materials..."

"Reproduce the production technology..."

"Empathize with the growth experience..."

"Reproduce the accumulated years!"

"Projection-start!"

"Copying completed!"

Looking at the golden scabbard in his hand, after absorbing Altria's countless experiences of using the scabbard, Irene had a more specific understanding of Avalon's ability.

"It's just as I expected."

"The barrier set up after Avalon was released can be seen as the prototype of creating a world."

Avalon's ability is to create a world independent of this world, so that all attacks in this world cannot touch the people in the isolated utopia.

What remains in the present world is only the spatial anchor point between Utopia and this world, so that people in Utopia can return to this world along this spatial anchor point after removing their abilities.

After understanding the principle of Avalon's creation of the prototype of the world, Aylin feels that he can now completely construct the inherent barrier of the Infinite Sword System in the way of creating Utopia.

This is an inherent barrier unique to the Type-Moon world, not a world as the ability of Aylin's Zanpakutō Bankai.

Of course, compared with Aylin's Infinite Sword System that has been materialized by the spatial power of the King's Seal, the inherent barrier constructed by Aylin according to the way Avalon created Utopia is much more fragile.

"Next, what I need to do is very clear."

"Collect all abilities related to the 'world' and fill them into Avalon's abilities."

"In this way, one day, I can also become a 'god' who can open up the world!"

...

In the church, Kotomine Kirei looked at his father Kotomine Risei lying in a pool of blood, without any trace of sadness in his heart.

At this time, what Kotomine Kirei was thinking about was why Emiya Kiritsugu would do such a thing.

Just as Emiya Kiritsugu determined that Kotomine Kiritsugu would never cooperate with him after seeing Kotomine Kiritsugu's information, Kotomine Kiritsugu also felt that Emiya Kiritsugu seemed to be his "lifelong enemy" after learning about Emiya Kiritsugu's existence. (End of this chapter)
