IBHJ Chapter 816

Shirou pulled back his Clairvoyance and frowned as he gazed into the distance. Even without his skill, anyone could make out the giant figure wreathed in flames, building a road that reached for the sky like a stairway to the heavens, leading to the ominous black ring that hung in the air like a dark portal.

"It's come to this." He furrowed his brow with concern.

Skadi nodded beside him, her long, deep violet hair swaying gently in the breeze. "Just a little more, and it will reac...

Mordred clutched the Grail tightly, her heart heavy with hesitation. She knew all too well the strength of the Sixth Seat. Over 1,500 years ago, they had clashed indirectly, but victory then wasn't about combat. She had won by successfully assimilating the Grail, which became her Noble Phantasm.

She usually avoided using the Grail's assimilation, but when faced with enemies she despised, she made an exception. It allowed her to contend with the Sixth Seat to a degree, but defeating him?...

"Wait, hmm, maybe if I catch you, I can get it back...?" The mysterious person shrouded in black fog said as a misty black dragon head emerged from his body, charging towards Mordred. In the next moment, an explosion of mana erupted.

With a deafening boom that shook the earth, the black mist passed directly through Mordred as if she were nothing more than a mirage. It crashed into the ground behind her, the impact similar to that of a small meteor striking the surface. But Mordred remai...

Morrigan looked into the distance, her eyes filled with regret and acceptance as her mind drifted to memories of the past. "Sorry, Shirou. I don't have the courage to face you right now, so I can't stand by your side. The only way I can help is from a distance. Maybe you've already recognized me, or maybe you haven't. But it doesn't matter. The Dead Apostle named Morgan le Fay was killed by the Council thirteen years ago. The one standing here now is just a fairy named Morrigan."

Iceland was a stark contrast to the warmth and comfort of Chaldea. The landscape was covered in a thick blanket of ice and snow, the wind howling persistently through the frozen air. It was a rare country of wind and snow, a place of harsh beauty and unforgiving conditions. But unfortunately, like the humans in other regions, the people of this country had disappeared with the appearance of the Council, leaving behind a desolate and empty land.

Mash and Mordred emerged from the transfer...

"Artie, it's been a while." Shirou reached out his hand and helped her up, "I thought you'd come as a Saber. I didn't expect you to choose the Rider class."

"Miss Morrigan has already told me about the situation. For the king to summon someone he hates and finds undeserving, you must have encountered someone as troublesome as an Alien God. Had I answered your call as a Saber, I couldn't guarantee your safety, my king. That would be unacceptable."

Shirou: "???"

He was stunned...

Under Shirou's strategy of preserving his forces by retreating, Bergelmir led the giant army on a march. However, this smooth advance, instead of putting them at ease, made some of the generals increasingly vigilant, their hearts growing heavier with each step.

As they approached Surtr's encampment, the air was filled with tension. Bergelmir brought the army to meet with Surtr, who stood tall and imposing, his eyes scanning the ranks of the giant army. After a round of greetings from th...

Artoria and Gray were walking through the halls of Chaldea, engaged in conversation. Artoria's brow was furrowed, and she seemed lost in thought. Gray, holding a stack of documents, noticed her troubled expression and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Did you get into another fight with that woman?"

She shook her head. "No, nothing like that. If we fought again, my wallet wouldn't be enough to cover the damages. That's why I've been avoiding her."

Gray tilted her head, puzzled...

After a few moments, the others finally reacted, earnestly advising, "Yes, my king, please summon her."

Hearing this, Shirou started tapping his finger on the armrest. After a moment of silence, he said, "It's not that I don't want to summon her, but she's already been summoned, so she can't respond to multiple summons."

In the corner, Chloe leaned close to Illya's ear and whispered, "Hey, Illya, who's this 'her' they're talking about?"

Illya quietly replied, "It's Artoria."...

Galahad opened a small breach in the corner of the city wall, allowing the knights to lead the troops in their retreat.

Seeing this, Bergelmir's eyes narrowed to slits. He shouted, "Don't let them escape! Kill every last one of them, or they'll regroup with the main force!"

The Fire Giant generals were neither individualistic heroes nor fools. They understood this fundamental truth all too well.

Conquering a castle was merely a means to an end; the true goal was to slaughter...

After punching the Kraken away, Bergelmir led the Frost Giants through the sea to ambush Galahad from the rear. As they approached the coast, he noticed numerous watchtowers dotting the shoreline. A look of surprise crossed his face. "This can't be right... They actually built watchtowers here! They should know that the Kraken is our worst enemy, and there's no way we'd make it through the sea. Yet, they still set up watchtowers?" He narrowed his eyes, deep in thought. "Whoever's in charge of...

"I have felt your king's sincerity," Bergelmir said, his tone serious as he looked at the fire giant. "Return these to Surtr. If he's the one leading the giants, I believe he will allow the frost giants to survive as well. Go back and tell him that I will break through Eternal King's forces. He just needs to focus on creating the path of survival."

The fire giant nodded. "Thank you very much for your trust. We leave the rest in your hands." With that, he turned and left.

The fire giant traveled the night sky, making his way to the border near Helheim. Several human villages dotted the landscape, including the one Shirou had visited before - the village where little Gelda lived. However, the fire giant refrained from attacking these settlements, as they were located in frost giant territory.

The fire giant arrived at a remote, snow-capped mountain, home to a handful of frost giants. He was aware that these frost giants had crossed the border before his o...

The knights in attendance all wore grim expressions, nodding in agreement with their king's words.

"Wait! Wait a minute!" Merlin suddenly exclaimed, looking at Shirou with a stunned expression. "I know this might sound weird to bring up now, but... my king, you're practically glowing today. Did you become a Saint or something?"

Agravain frowned after hearing this and reprimanded, "Merlin, what kind of nonsense are you spouting now?"

But Shirou raised his hand to stop Agravai...

The Castle of Lord Camelot's strength proved invaluable in repelling the giants' main force. Its impenetrable walls withstood the crushing blows of the colossal enemies, while its enchanted defenses unleashed devastating counterattacks that sent shockwaves rippling through the enemy lines, preventing the giants' main forces from flooding the Castle.

"We can finally breathe again. This feeling is just... amazing!"

"That's our king for you, solving the problem with the world's laws....

The massive body of the Midgard Serpent dissipated like spiritrons, finally leaving behind an Origin Wheel. Shirou picked up the wheel, and Illya and the others walked up to him, unable to resist saying, "You're so amazing, oniichan."

"This is nothing," he shook his head.

Illya and the others felt that he was being too modest. That was the Midgard Serpent Jörmungandr! In human history, it was the notorious magical beast that had poisoned Thor to death! Illya could only say with a...

Suddenly, the serpent's jaws parted, and to their astonishment, it spoke in a language they could understand. The voice was a thunderous rumble, shaking the very earth beneath their feet and reverberating through their bones. "Odin's divinity..." Jörmungandr hissed, each word dripping with venom and hatred. "Odin, our grudge has festered for far too long. It ends here, today, I shall rid the Nine Worlds of your presence!"

Jörmungandr let out a long, bone-chilling howl and opened its g...

"Phantasm Summon: King Hassan!" As the class card activated, Chloe's red attire instantly transformed into the skeletal armor of a sword master. Her eyes glowing red, she stepped forward swiftly, swinging the sword in her hand.

Jörmungandr let out a long howl, lowering its head to glare at the mortal who had injured it, eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty light.

Suddenly, on its massive serpentine body that had broken free from the ice, the semicircular scales flipped open, reveali...

Shirou turned to Skadi, curiosity in his eyes. "Who exactly is that guy? Do you have any idea?"

"All I know is that he's one of the Seven Evils of Humanity, but I don't know the specifics," Skadi admitted, shaking her head. She paused for a moment, recalling something. "Although, it seemed like Odin had figured out his true identity and the truth about the Council, but he was killed before he could tell us."

"He cut down Yggdrasil, defeated Vanir gods, shot down the White Titan, a...

"The Enlightened One has reset the world, and the dream realm has completely ended. I'm going to leave, Shisho," Shirou said, looking at Scathach.

"Mm." Scathach nodded and smiled at him. "Be careful on your way, Shirou."

"Mm." He nodded and disappeared from the dream.

Watching Shirou vanish and looking at the gradually dissipating dream world, she sighed. "I said what you wanted me to say."

Skadi appeared behind her. Scathach turned her head, looked at Skadi, and aske...

Seeing Shirou's dejected expression, Skadi suddenly retreated with a dazed look on her face. Her strange behavior caught Shirou and Scathach's attention. He looked at Skadi with concern and asked, "What's wrong, Skadi?"

"No. It's nothing," Skadi shook her head and replied coldly.

"Did you remember something?" he pressed.

"It's impossible to remember anything. Your actions were meaningless from the start. I am Skadi, the last Nordic god, not your mentor, Scathach. Dispel this...

Shirou remained silent, his eyes growing even colder as he continuously released a bombardment of divinity.

"Well then, see you next time, Shirou. If you can survive under Surtr's sword, that is. But it should be impossible. Hahaha, after all, Surtr, that guy is a remnant of ancient times, just like the Runes of Wisdom." With those words, the Sixth Seat prepared to disappear, his body already beginning to fade from view.

"Bastard!" Shirou cursed, unwilling to let him escape. His a...

While watching the Sixth Seat battle against Scathach and Skadi from the sidelines, Shirou had already figured out his opponent's most troublesome ability - the intangible form. The only counter he could think of was the dragon's ability to materialize spirit and matter. Although he couldn't fully recreate it, he could partially reproduce some aspects within the dream to attack the Sixth Seat.

Originally, the Sixth Seat wasn't afraid of the two female gods, but Shirou's taunting infuria...

There was no other way! Scathach's eyes blazed with a fierce red light, filled with killing intent. The Gáe Bolg in her hand emitted a deathly glow.

But before she could unleash her Noble Phantasm, several sharp sounds tore through the air. Flames like heavenly fire rained down on the world, engulfing the swimming dragons. Even though these creatures were formed from black mist, they were tangible and could feel pain. As the great fire burned them, their movements momentarily faltered,...

Skadi drew another spear and positioned herself in front of Shirou, speaking without turning her head, "You're his target. Quickly, get out of here."

Shirou gazed intently at Skadi's back, his eyes tracing the slender curve that had once shielded him from the harshest storms when he was at his weakest. A flicker of emotion passed over his face as he made his decision. "I understand," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. Then, without hesitation, he turned and fled.

Skadi wandered through the factory, watching the workers bustling about their tasks. As a goddess from Scandinavia, she was pretty sure she'd never set foot in this place before, but something about it felt strangely familiar. A puzzled look crossed her delicate face as she tried to pin down the source of this nagging sense of déjà vu.

"Master, what's on your mind?" Taiga asked, strolling up to Skadi after assigning tasks to the workers.

Skadi glanced at Taiga and shook her head...

After casually skimming through the papers, Shirou signed his name with a decisive stroke and said, "I'd like to schedule a meeting with the department heads to discuss the implementation of a new policy."

The sales manager took the document and said, "Alright, President. I'll get in touch with the military as soon as possible and pass the document along to the production department."

Shirou was stunned, thinking that the manager's response was off.

"What's so strange about that? I'm human, aren't I? Of course I smile sometimes."

"No, no, no. It's normal for other people to smile, but if you do it, you must be possessed or something. Master, you better check on him. He might be cursed," Taiga said, turning to Skadi.

Skadi had a completely bewildered expression, not knowing how to respond.

He leaned forward a bit, cutting off Taiga's question, and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"I'll cooperate with you, but you have to promise me something," Skadi said.

"What promise?"

"Don't ever do that kind of thing to me again!" she said, too embarrassed to say it outright.

"Don't make it sound like I actually did something weird. Whether it was before or now, I've always been a perfect gentleman."

However, seeing that Skadi was starting to cooperate, Shirou nodded with satisfaction. What mandatory events? Those were all made up by him. Even if there were...

She gave him a bitter smile. "There's no way, Eternal King."

"Maybe not in this world, but in the past, there was a way."

He looked at her seriously. "There is a way, and you know it too."

Surprised, she asked, "You mean... through the dream?"

She looked at him, her expression blank, and then shook her head. "No way... There's just no way that's possible..."
