IBHJ Chapter 846

Aside from Assassins who have [Presence Concealment], regular Servants can usually sense the presence of other Servants. There was no doubt that the mysterious man from earlier was a Servant!

"Yes, that fighting spirit reminded me a bit of Diarmuid. But there was never a Holy Grail War in Shinjuku, right?"

"This is a Connecting Point. Don't try to understand the Connecting Points using reality, or you'll definitely end up with some cognitive dissonance. Anyway, let's go check out ...

IBHJ Chapter 845

He looked at her, a hint of surprise in his eyes. "Wait, you haven't realized it yet?"

"Realized what?" she asked, her expression completely blank.

"You really need to work on your insight," he chuckled, reaching out and lightly tugging on her ahoge.

"Mm..." she shrank back a little. She didn't like others touching her ahoge, not even allowing Mordred to do so. But when it came to Shirou, she only showed a mild rejection reaction.

As for the reason...

She had pro...

IBHJ Chapter 844

As Shirou and Artoria stepped into the Fujimaru family residence, they were greeted by a scene of neglect and decay.

The house location was pretty remote, so it had managed to escape the worst of the mud tide, leaving its structure relatively intact. However, the interior told a different story. A thick blanket of dust coated the floor, and the moment they opened the door, a musty cloud flew everywhere, filling the air with a stale, pungent odor.

The television screen had a gaping...

IBHJ Chapter 843

Sparks crackled through the air as the black vortex flashed with dark lightning. It resembled a storage container, with Ea serving as the chain that kept it sealed. But now, Abigail had taken Ea, and there was no doubt that the vortex was spiraling out of control.

The terrifying black vortex continued to rotate, and then an immeasurable amount of black mud poured down from the sky like a waterfall, possessing the destructive power to corrupt and destroy everything in its path.

"Wa...

IBHJ Chapter 842

Everyone looked over and was surprised to see a golden-haired girl with a strange keyhole on her forehead, wearing a black dress, looking at him with an odd expression. "How do you know my name? Are you also a resident of Salem?"

What a perfect opportunity! A glint flashed through Altera's eyes, then she quickly raised the Sword of Mars in her hand, and a rainbow beam shot straight towards Abigail.

Altera's attack was both swift and ruthless, not giving the opponent any chance to ...

IBHJ Chapter 841

"A game?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Yup. The connection point will be the prize. If you can beat my game, the Black Grail is all yours. Oh, and you can't say no. I've already put this connection point inside a bubble. Even that mage's magic can't touch what's inside," Seventh Seat said with a smile. Her laughter sounded cheerful, but there was something unsettling and eerie about it.

Gray and Ayaka quickly glanced at their watches and, sure enough, they'd lost contact with Chaldea. T...

IBHJ Chapter 840

As expected of Mordred, she easily thought things through very thoroughly, just like her father, Eternal King who was good at planning. Of course, this absolutely couldn't be said out loud, otherwise Mordred would probably go ballistic.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Mordred," Illya said seriously.

"No need to say that. This is just a transaction," she said with a smile.

"Wait! If Illya is going, I'm going too! That way, even if we run into serious danger, we can summon Sitonai...

IBHJ Chapter 839

"It's the same Reverse Growth Curse as Gray's."

Morrigan, with dark circles under her eyes, examined them and determined seriously.

"How can this be..." Illya looked at the baby Miyu in disbelief.

"Are you sure you didn't make a mistake with your examination, Miss Morrigan?" Chloe couldn't help but ask.

She shook her head. "There's no mistake. This is the same reverse growth curse that Gray has. Moreover, the degree of Miyu's curse is deeper than Gray's. Her intelligen...

IBHJ Chapter 838

Altera took a deep breath. Her frenzied eyes gradually calmed down. "I understand. To avoid making Ayaka sad, this time I'll do my best to hold back my destructive instincts."

"Eh??" Artoria looked at the calm Altera in amazement. Everyone else had the same reaction as her. They couldn't believe that Shirou managed to tame the raging Altera so easily!

"But!" Altera stretched out her hand and pointed at Artoria, saying, "Wielder of the Holy Sword, don't forget that you're the one I...

IBHJ Chapter 837

A night went by, and as the bright sun rose, Shirou finally headed back to Chaldea.

"Shirou, you're--"

Artoria stared at him, her eyes wide with surprise as she took in his clothes, which were torn to shreds. She asked worriedly, "Did you get into a fight with someone? Was it Altera? That woman... I won't let her get away with this!"

"Uh... I didn't get into a fight with anyone." Shirou tugged at his tattered clothes and said, "This probably got ripped up by the air currents...

IBHJ Chapter 836

"If you did that, I think you would have already turned half-mud." Shirou smiled faintly. He was quite confident in his [All the World's Evil] and [Vampiric Evil] abilities to protect his body well. There was no way Mordred would be able to 'snap' his body as she put it without causing a big commotion.

Mordred pouted again. There was no fun at all in teasing an old man.

"Here, catch." She tossed him a notebook.

He caught it, "What's this for?"

"It's a newbie manual for...

IBHJ Chapter 835

Waver nodded, "I just didn't want you to be on edge waiting to hear from me, so I came back for a bit. After this, I'm planning to head to the Oklo uranium mine area in Gabon and places like Sanxingdui in China to do some fieldwork."

Shirou nodded in agreement. Since he had given up on trying to stop Surtr at the connection point, he had gotten some leads on the Council. To protect their own history and the present, both Shirou and Waver naturally went all-in on investigating and resear...

IBHJ Chapter 834

Waver looked at him, somewhat surprised. "You know about Sanxingdui?"

Shirou nodded. "Yes, I do. Is there a problem?"

"No, it's just that China is relatively unique. Due to their political situation, other countries don't know much about what's going on there, and even the Chinese people themselves are often in the dark about their own country. Without Tri-Hermes, I wouldn't know much about China either," Waver explained.

"Is China really that mysterious?" Romani asked, his ...

IBHJ Chapter 833

Seeing her flustered face, Shirou stopped teasing and threw on some white pajamas before sitting on the bed. With Shirou now dressed, Artoria finally let out a sigh of relief. Even though they'd been intimate before, facing Shirou in this situation still made her feel shy.

"My king, did you have that nightmare again?" she asked with concern.

Shirou hadn't kept the strange dreams a secret from her, so Artoria knew he'd been having them.

Hearing her question, he nodded. "Yeah....

IBHJ Chapter 832

Skadi left her own words in the notebook he had cherished so much: "I can't forget myself! I can't forget him! I won't!"

But in the end, she still forgot.

Yet, the pain and obsession etched into her very bones allowed her soul and spirit to finally remember.

Skadi fell silent, her frail shoulders trembling slightly. She gently curled up her long legs and softly said, "I'm used to loneliness now."

The evening breeze stirred her long hair as Sca...

IBHJ Chapter 831

Romani's hand gripped Gilgamesh's arm, afraid that he might run away. The situation was clear as day. There were only three people there. If Gilgamesh left... Romani turned his head and glanced at the smiling Queen of Sheba.

'Help me, please! I don't want to end up as a dried-up corpse!' Romani's face said it all as his grip on Gilgamesh's arm became even tighter, as if he were clinging to a lifeline rather than just an arm.

"Watch it, or I'll make your life a living hell at work!...

IBHJ Chapter 830

"Phew... Phew!" Morrigan gasped for breath, hands on her knees, struggling to catch her breath.

"What on earth are you doing?" Hinako asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Wait, just... just give me a sec," Morrigan panted.

"You're getting too fat. It's time for a diet. Now, move your ass!" Hinako said coldly, crossing her arms.

Morrigan huffed, annoyance written all over her face.

"Eating and sleeping all day, you're no better than a pig," Hinako continued.

Finally,...

IBHJ Chapter 829

Skadi reached out her hand, and the four Origin Wheels left by Surtr buzzed and rose from the ground like glowing orbs, settling into her palms. Like flowing water, they merged into her body. She closed her eyes for a moment, slowly feeling the authority of the wheels wash over her. Dazzling light patterns flickered faintly across her graceful figure, making her presence seem to fade away.

Everyone looked at her, surprised. They couldn't sense Skadi's presence like they could before. It...

IBHJ Chapter 828

The King of Men brought his warhorse to a halt and said, "Do you want to do it yourself, or should I send you on your way?"

Surtr slowly turned his head, his eyes falling on Artoria. "Is she the knight who initiated this operation?" He gazed at her for a while, then his gaze returned to Shirou, a bitter smile forming on his lips. "Looks like you chose to trust the right person, while I put my faith in the wrong one."

Shirou remained silent.

"If you wish to protect Pan-Human ...

IBHJ Chapter 827

It's a simple truth: when enemies rejoice, loved ones suffer; when enemies suffer, loved ones rejoice. To protect something, one must destroy something else. Even a savior can't escape this cruel reality.

Besides, how could there be a savior in this world capable of resolving all contradictions and saving everything? Such a savior doesn't exist. And if one did, they would surely be the greatest evil!

Therefore, Skadi took an attacking stance. She might have been a naive young girl...

IBHJ Chapter 826

Bergelmir had gathered the Fire Giants together under the pretext of a defensive battle, all for the sake of revenge. This was the reason they were only defending and not attacking Salter. On the surface, it was to protect Surtr, but the real reason for gathering these giants in one place was to make it easier for Kraken to maintain its hunting ground!

Surtr gripped his melted Laevatein, glaring at Bergelmir with pure rage. "Damn monster!" he roared, charging down to the base of Asgard....

IBHJ Chapter 825

Taking a deep breath, he shook his head. "The strength that others see in me is actually a recognition of my own weaknesses. It was through relentless training, time and time again, humbly seeking advice and learning from others, and constantly analyzing my shortcomings that I gradually improved, step by step."

Shirou's lips curled into a sneer, "Even after lasting this long, you still can't escape your fate. Every time you're on the brink of success, every time your plans are about to ...

IBHJ Chapter 824

The normally expressionless frost giants all displayed bloodthirsty, frenzied smiles. One of the frost giants, his face contorted with savage madness, stepped forward and sneered at the dying generals.

"Surprise!" he cackled, his voice dripping with venom. "How does it feel to be on the receiving end of betrayal? To have your trust shattered like fragile ice? This is the pain we endured over two thousand years ago, and now, it's your turn to suffer."

A fire giant general, his life...

IBHJ Chapter 823

Shirou glanced at the unscathed Surtr and scoffed under his breath. It was pretty clear that this king of giants wasn't going to get hurt by something like that. As a giant, he had insanely powerful strength, but just like Shirou, he'd chosen to unite with the weak. This was one seriously special enemy that absolutely had to be taken out. Shirou didn't make this call just because failing to kill Surtr would make it impossible to stop the giants from invading Pan-Human History, but because onc...

IBHJ Chapter 822

Glodvarr, seeing their attempt to escape, let out a furious roar. "Don't even think about disturbing the king!" he bellowed, thrusting his flaming sword towards Shirou's retreating figure. However, before the blade could find its mark, a gleaming sword intercepted it with a clang, knocking the weapon away.

Glodvarr whipped his head around, finding himself staring down the gleaming blade of Excalibur. Artoria's unwavering gaze met his as she leveled her sword at him. "I understand your d...

IBHJ Chapter 821

"That sneaky bastard left a secret passage!" Surtr instantly got a headache. Back when Svadilfari was alive, Surtr had planted his seeds in him in order to scheme against Hel. But she was always on high alert, and if he had occupied Svadilfari's body too soon, it might have given off mental fluctuations that she would've picked up on. In the end, Surtr never used that trump card, so he had no idea Svadilfari had built a secret passage right under Asgard.

"He's really more trouble than h...

IBHJ Chapter 820

"No problem. I told you I'd help, didn't I? I always keep my word," Gawain replied with a grin.

Lancelot couldn't help but smile back, feeling the tension in his body ease a bit. But before he could say anything, Tristan pointed at Gawain and casually said, "You were watching from the sidelines the whole time, weren't you? You knew Lancelot was in trouble, but you waited until the last second to jump in."

Lancelot turned to look at Gawain, raising an eyebrow.

Gawain's grin t...

IBHJ Chapter 819

A deafening roar of thunder drew Eldur's gaze to the peak of the World Tree. His eyes widened as he gazed at the sky-piercing road, a marvel of the world that seemed to defy the very laws of nature. It rose from the clouds, a shimmering path that promised to lead them to a brighter future. But unlike the ill-fated Tower of Babel, this road, a symbol of their unwavering hope built by their beloved king, would not crumble.

Eldur's heart swelled with excitement and joy, the emotions so int...

IBHJ Chapter 818

A hole opened up on the snowy ground, revealing a large teleportation magic circle. Shirou looked at the magic circle, feeling a deep sense of irony. This was a secret passage left behind by Svadilfari, intended for the giants to sneak inside and invade Asgard. However, before the secret passage could be used, Loki discovered Svadilfari's identity, and Odin killed him. Later, Shirou used this very passage to save Skadi. And now, it was being used once again, this time to assassinate Surtr. Th...

IBHJ Chapter 817

The screams of dying men mingled with fierce battle cries as waves of soldiers hurled themselves against the giants. Crimson spears pierced deep into putrid flesh, releasing gouts of steaming crimson blood. Unfazed by the gore drenching their weapons and armor, the humans stabbed into the giants again and again with savage expressions beneath their silver helmets.

Mighty clubbing blows from the giants crushed men into broken, oozing pulp. Soldiers were flung through the air trailing str...
