IBHJ Chapter 666

Snow rained from the sky. The occasional gusts of wind were ice-cold and sharp as blades.

In their party traveling to the village, a very young boy had a flushed red face. He would periodically lift his palms to mouth, breathing out mist as he rubbed his little hands to gain some warmth.

While Gelda was very proactive, cheerful and dazzling, Shirou was not one to focus on just a single person. He paid attention to everyone.

Seeing the boy's actions, he looked around and noti...

IBHJ Chapter 665

Standing there, Shirou carefully surveyed the giants' surroundings - and couldn't help frowning.

Two of the rock giants held huge iron cages, inside which were humans.

Counting carefully, there were six people - four on the left and two on the right.

Shirou's brows furrowed. Salter drew her sword, ready to charge, but he held out a hand to stop her.

"Aren't you going to save them?" She turned, frowning.

"Oh, we'll definitely save them. Just don't be rash."

...

IBHJ Chapter 664

Shirou stroked his chin thoughtfully as he contemplated his predicament.

He had been summoned by the Council and hadn't resisted. Yet they were still attacked mid-summoning.

Not only had he been shot down, but the invisible force the Council was using to pull him in had also been shattered.

So he'd been dumped here in this forest filled with steely trees.

Most importantly...where exactly was "here"?

Shirou furrowed his brows.

Although he'd never relied much...

IBHJ Chapter 663

Eternal King stood at the apex, having achieved what no other Arthur had - the realization of his dream. He was the ideal that all other Arthurs aspired to be. How could Salter allow such a perfect version of Arthur to be tainted?

Most importantly, she still wanted to obtain the method to realize her own lifelong wish from him. She simply hadn't understood his intentions or what is it he's planning to do.

As for Shirou, he had wanted to leave Artoria behind so Chaldea could recrui...

IBHJ Chapter 662

Shirou took another look at the woman who was now fully fainted on the ground. He couldn't help but feel relieved.

After fighting Hinako, he understood once more that True Ancestors were not to be provoked.

Arcueid - he truly couldn't handle her. As for Hinako here...she was simply a maniac!

He had never seen someone fight like that before, rushing in from the very start with one self-destruct attack after another.

Just a continuous string of self-destructs!

Fort...

IBHJ Chapter 661

Mordred and Mash arrived at the Spiritron Chamber to infiltrate the Fuyuki City anomaly Kiara had entered before.

Usually, diving into connection points required reporting to superiors and obtaining approval. But everything had exceptions. And exceptions were made for those with enough strength.

Clearly, Mordred and Mash fell into that category.

Entering the Chamber, they converted into spiritrons and arrived at Kiara's connection point.

Fuyuki City, 2012. Depth of Con...

IBHJ Chapter 660

In their first battle, teacher Mordred had defeated Lady Mo, causing Lady Mo to lose her own name. She could only be called "Mo-chan" with humiliation on her face, and refer to teacher Mordred as "Neesan".

In order to regain her name and dignity, Lady Mo frequently challenged teacher Mordred to rematches. Thus began the glorious "Mordred Wars" that had raged at Chaldea over the past three months!

Unfortunately, Lady Mo's record against her teacher was a rather tragic 0 wins and 69...

IBHJ Chapter 659

The cooldown ended, so Hinako brought the newbies back to Chaldea, leaving the connection point behind.

They didn't make a contract with Salter, and she didn't let any of them do so either.

Rather than being contracted by Chaldea's Masters, she was more concerned with dealing with Eternal King.

If King Arthur is a concept, Eternal King undoubtedly stands at the pinnacle of all King Arthurs, the only one to have achieved the end of their aspirations.

Salter would never ...

IBHJ Chapter 658

After putting the Tower of Light away, Shirou prepared to sit back down. But as he turned, he noticed a book on the ground.

"What's this...?"

He picked it up and looked it over. The book was already tattered and ink-splattered, with only one legible line left:

"...the day of destruction has arrived..."

What was this - chuunibyou?

Shirou remembered this was where Kiara had been standing.

So this cringey book was left by her? Didn't seem like something she'd ...

IBHJ Chapter 657

"It's over..." Hinako also sighed in relief.

Being exploded at point-blank range by her [The Grieving Song of the Shijie of Cursed Blood] without timely protection should have definitely blown his Core apart.

Of course, it was normal for the opponent to lack protection. After all, her Noble Phantasm was imbued with slowing curses.

It's over.

Now, she could finally free herself from the burden of babysitting these humans. Even though Chaldea rules state that seniors sho...

IBHJ Chapter 656

"Hmm... Isn't the answer obvious?" He crossed his arms over his chest. "I'm Eternal King. I can see through everything. How could a mere illusion deceive my eyes?"

Of course, that was a lie. His All Seeing Eyes ability was useless now, disabled by the Black Grail. And knowing so much was clearly because he had read the wiki.

Knowing the character details as a transmigrator - this had been Shirou's so-called "protagonist halo" or "cheat" all this while. He was a transmigrator who k...

IBHJ Chapter 655

Kiara and Hinako walked towards the large underground cavern.

The journey was filled with silence. In fact, Kiara wanted to find some conversation topics to lighten up the awkward atmosphere, but Hinako didn't seem interested in chatting. No matter what Kiara brought up, Hinako would just say "Oh" or "Mm," making her seem rather aloof and hard to approach.

)╥﹏╥)

Luckily, they didn't run into any enemies on the way, so the journey went quite smoothly.

Before enter...

IBHJ Chapter 654

When the newbies heard Hinako planned to head back to Chaldea first, they didn't argue. After all, they were still just newbies. But this was their first time stepping into a connection point. Even knowing full well the dangers that lurked here, excitement still bubbled up inside them.

Before leaving this place, they wanted to explore the park and make some memories from their first mission.

Hinako exchanged intel with Salter - though neither was thrilled to stomach the other's co...

IBHJ Chapter 653

Salter's expression grew solemn. "I'm a Saber summoned by the Grail of this connection point as well. And due to my own reasons, I wasn't controlled. But listen, the guardian of this connection point is Berserker - the Eternal King!"

Kiara Sessyoin: "!"

Noticing her reaction, Ayaka whispered, "What's wrong, Kiara?"

"No...it's nothing..." Kiara shook her head, thoughts racing. 

Berserker, the Eternal King, the guardian of this place...could that be Mr. Assassin? 2024-01-03 04:02:06 +0000 UTC View Post

IBHJ Chapter 652

Diarmuid cackled wildly. "Honor? What rubbish! Hahaha!" To him, so-called knightly honor was now worth less than dog shit. He shot toward Hinako like a blazing meteor.

Even as an Alter, Diarmuid kept his sharp eyes. It took only a glance to see Hishiri was the leader here. So to take down the army, you had to start by killing the king.

Salter moved to intervene, but a cackling Medusa blocked her path.

"Hinako senpai, watch out!" Kiara yelled.

But Hinako stayed eerily c...

IBHJ Chapter 651

Meanwhile, back in Chaldea, a beautiful youth looked at Hinako’s empty coffin chamber and yelled in frustration, “Lady Hinako, you forgot about me again ahhhhhh!!”

Oh no! She'd forgotten her Servant in Chaldea yet again!

Hinako deeply realized her oversight now. Under normal circumstances, she would team up with Morgan. So when clearing anomalies and defeating enemies, it was always Hinako getting her hands dirty while Morgan was the one responsible for making the plan. And ...

IBHJ Chapter 650

Shirou waited in the dim underground cavern beneath Ryuudou Temple, using [Evil] to contact his main body and guide Adam, who was protecting him, in the right direction.

"Is it there?" Adam asked, cupping his body in both palms as he felt Shirou's pull and shuffled in that direction.

It's just over here, Adam. Shirou answered silently.

Truthfully, being exiled to the dimensional rift was like being lost travelers wandering an endless maze, with no way of knowing which way le...

IBHJ Chapter 649

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Several black silhouettes appeared before Shirou and knelt down on one knee before him loyally, like subordinates.

Holding the black grail, he had become the guardian of this connection point, just as Avenger Edmond Dantès had been.

These must be the Servant subordinates also summoned by the black grail and allocated to him by the COUNCIL.

Just like him, these Servants were probably altered and dragged into this world.

Shirou's eyes narro...

IBHJ Chapter 648

"Another Holy Grail War?" Adam asked. "Is it summoning you again, Mr. Assassin?"

"I don't know," Shirou replied. "But if so, it would at least give us a foothold - better than wandering aimlessly without knowing where we are, or what we're doing."

He leapt down from Adam's shoulder, landing in his palm. "I'm going to nap now. Protect my body and keep looking for any breaches we can access."

"Yes, Mr. Assassin."

Shirou slowly closed his eyes, drifting off to sleep. His ...

IBHJ Chapter 647

[Independent Manifestation] is a special skill unique to Beast-class Servants, the ultimate evil of humanity. It's an enhanced version of a Servant's innate skill to materialize independently into the world. Not even Shirou's Noble Phantasm can copy this skill.

Beasts with Independent Manifestation can freely enter and exit their worlds. So when Beast manifested into another world, she soon sensed her "good" half, Kiara Sessyoin, had used her stolen authority to consume quite a few thin...

IBHJ Chapter 646

Iskandar could either use Ionian Hetairoi to wipe out the 300+ Assassins and stop this invasion, only to then be killed by Scathach. Or...he could watch his Master be killed, and then be eliminated himself soon after.

This was really a... brilliant plan!

It was just a pity he only realized it now. 

Iskandar sighed. But there was no time for regrets. He activated Ionian Hetairoi.

His Noble Phantasm swept across the battlefield, wiping out the hundreds of Assassins....

IBHJ Chapter 645

The Servant who had issued the challenge was at the seaside park - it was Lancer, also known as Diarmuid.

Scathach spotted him first and they fought.

Like Scathach, Lancer was skilled with twin spears. He spun the long and short spears dangerously in his hands, and even his Master Kayneth had complete confidence in him.

But then...

Well actually, there was no "then." Scathach just straight up poked him to death in three strikes.

Sure, Diarmuid was super strong, b...

IBHJ Chapter 644

When he awoke, he was both surprised and overjoyed to find his Archer EMIYA Saint Graph gone, replaced by his new Servant - Scáthach.

With a proper Servant, he was now a true Master!

As a Master, Shirou knew he had an extremely swift method to leave the Holy Grail War: directly ordering his Servant's suicide via Command Spell, and losing his qualification.

Most importantly, Scáthach might have pitied him enough to obey such a despicable order, just to help him survive...He...

IBHJ Chapter 643

October 3rd, 1993. A date Shirou would never forget.

That night, wearing an Ultraman suit, six-year-old Shirou mustered his courage and saved Sakura from the Matou household. Only to be severely disciplined in his dream by a stranger.

He found himself in a shadowy realm - no sunlight, deathly still, shadows permeating the surroundings. While stifling, there was an alluring mystery to it. But he had no interest in exploring now. Beaten black and blue, killed 21 times straight, he l...

IBHJ Chapter 642

Spartacus and Dracula fought.

It was a completely one-sided battle.

In his Romanian homeland and having become Dracula, Vlad's strength was approaching Karna's. Spartacus had zero chance.

Yet ultimately, Spartacus was the victor.

The moment Spartacus' spear was about to pierce Dracula's heart, Dracula, who could easily slay Spartacus, gave up all defenses and counterattacks - allowing the spear to cleanly pierce his heart.

"As expected, this was your aim, right o...

IBHJ Chapter 641

In that moment, countless wooden stakes piercing the earth took flight towards the sky like shooting swords.

They blanketed the sky like pouring rain.

Tens of thousands of stakes converged as one. [The Lord of Execution's] power heightened without limit. Finally harnessing Dracula’s might, Vlad focused his Noble Phantasm and formed an enormous, one thousand meter-long spear, sending it down towards Adam’s hand.

Grasping the weapon, Adam overcame his lack of experience an...

IBHJ Chapter 640

Whoosh! 

Like a meteor piercing the long night, with [Mana Burst] from Shirou, Adam slipped into the titan's head through the gap in the tentacles before they sealed completely. 

He entered its interior skull.

Adam spotted the black Grail, still radiating intense mana. Without hesitation, he reached out his palm.

"Awaken, Adam—!"

He yelled loudly as countless magic circuits converged on him from all directions.

In that moment, Adam's body faded ...

IBHJ Chapter 639

Adam sighed. Listening to these two chatterboxes the whole way here had nearly made his ears fall off.

Ignoring the bickering between Astolfo and Avicebron, Adam turned to the others and said: "There is still a way we can resolve this."

"You - you've found a solution?" Darnic asked sharply. "A mere homunculus has an answer when even magi and Heroic Spirits are helpless?"

Adam nodded.

"Don't be so arrogant, homunculus!" Darnic yelled.

"I'm not being arrogant, sir....

IBHJ Chapter 638

Trapped in the kaleidoscopic void between dimensions, Shirou floated alone. Nothing but drifting colors and a feeling of endless atomic space.

Yet he smiled. 

That child must be furious now. She'd likely wear the same lion-like rage as Artie. 

Yes, as Gray guessed, he had decided from the start to give his one chance at summoning to Mordred instead.

No real reason why. Not to atone, or out of mere kindness. He simply couldn't bear to see that child's lonely d...

IBHJ Chapter 637

Mordred understood completely.

So that's how it was!

The so-called Holy Grail War was a scam. The omnipotent device was just a tool for magi to deceive Heroic Spirits. The true goal was achieving the Third Magic!

Clever bastards!

She gritted her teeth tightly.

Just then, Saber looked at the black mud and said: "But you also left the War - why wasn't your soul taken? Alive or not, your soul should've gone to the Grail first. Only after the Third Magic would it be ...
