IBHJ Chapter 636

As Mordred's group advanced through the monster-filled area, they discovered a bizarre sight. The battlefield was blanketed by a dense, bloody fog that drifted eerily, enveloping any worms that emerged from the earth.

These bloody mists moved like predators, killing off each worm within moments of the fog's contact.

The mists then drifted toward Mordred's wary group. But the fog passed through them harmlessly, as if an illusion. It continued on, swallowing up the worms crawling up...

IBHJ Chapter 635

The spear pierced through Semiramis' body without obstruction. With the central area as the starting point, the already battered Hanging Garden collapsed and shattered piece by piece.

Semiramis and Karna began dissipating at the same time.

"I'll answer one of your questions, Assassin," Karna said, looking at Semiramis in his final moments. "What the poison witch truly desires might just be the purest water."

He revealed a faint smile as his body turned illusory and finally d...

IBHJ Chapter 634

Covered in blood from head to toe, blood still flowing from the spear wound pierced through his chest,

Yet he laughed loudly.

"HaHahaHaha!"

He cackled without restraint like a gleeful, petty man.

"In the end I was still one step ahead. You lost, Karna!"

Taking advantage of Karna's moment of shock, Arjuna channeled a surge of mana into his bow, Agni Gandiva.

"I'll send you off with Shiva's rage!" he shouted wildly.

The destructive power of Shiva contai...

IBHJ Chapter 633

Rising to her feet, she said over her shoulder, "Let's go. With Eternal King and Beast gone, foul things are crawling out. Stay close so you don't get lost!"

"Ah, yes! I understand, Miss Unknown!" Kiara hurriedly followed along.

Mordred shot her an irritated look. "Don't call me Miss Unknown. That sounds really weird."

"Then, what should I call you?" Kiara shrank back timidly.

Despite being a chibi, Mordred had an imposing presence that demanded respect.

With her...

IBHJ Chapter 632

Heracles roared, flinging Archer off his body.

Somersaulting gracefully midair like an agile wildcat, Archer stuck fast to the stone wall, clinging tightly as she glared at Heracles with bared fangs.

"Archer..." Mordred eyed the woman in surprise.

Without a doubt, it was Red Archer Atalanta.

But...

"She actually managed to survive until now?" Mordred raised a skeptical eyebrow at her.

Given Atalanta's middling strength, she hadn't expected her to last this ...

IBHJ Chapter 631

Crack crack crack——

Heracles crawled from the ruins, stone axe in hand, bellowing a deafening roar. His blood-stained, berserk eyes flashed with violent fury. Yet even lost in his rage, he knew Mordred was out of reach.

His crimson gaze darted through the darkness and locked onto Kiara. With a savage roar, he kicked off the rubble and barreled towards her like a maddened beast.

Seeing no time to help, Mordred yelled, "Kiara!"

Heracles loomed before Kiara, his massi...

IBHJ Chapter 630

"What's going on here?" Vlad asked, eyeing the Primordial Human warily as countless octopus-like tentacles suddenly sprouted from its body.

Cracks splintered through the earth like a spider's web. One after another, bizarrely-shaped bugs crawled out from underneath.

If Shirou were here, he'd recognize these creatures as the Chthonians.

In the distance, octopus-like monsters emerged along the horizon.

Vlad used his Noble Phantasm, Kazikli Bey, to impale over thirty of t...

IBHJ Chapter 629

Astolfo's hippogriff charged straight for the Primordial Human.

Over there, Vlad and Spartacus were locked in battle, but it was clear the Primordial Human had the upper hand.

Keen observers could see that despite Vlad's power boost from being in Romania, he and Spartacus were slowly being overwhelmed.

By this point, the Primordial Human had grown to a staggering 300 meters tall. Its terrifying growth rate was on full display.

When they had first encountered it, the gi...

IBHJ Chapter 628

Mordred's brows furrowed, gripping her black-reddish sword tightly as the Beast staggered closer.

"Give up. I know your weakness," the Beast laughed, leering at Mordred.

"Y-You still want to take me back?" Kiara asked worriedly. Then, more resolutely - "I won't go without a fight."

"After taking some of my authority, you dare resist?" the Beast purred. "But don't worry, I won't take you back anymore."

"Really?" Kiara asked, skeptical.

The Beast just smiled slowly...

IBHJ Chapter 627

This ultimate attack, completely unlike Scáthach’s, betting everything on a single decisive strike!

Suddenly...

"Crack, crack, crack."

His body cracked like glass, emitting spiritual particles into the air like falling snow.

It was the prelude to his dissipation.

Facing such a terrifying strike, the Beast hurriedly opened her [All the World's Desires] - a swirling black hole ready to consume everything.

And that spear of light, like the first ray splitti...

IBHJ Chapter 626

Shirou's expression turned solemn. The whirlpool of light around him completely receded into his body.

"This is...!"

The Beast's expression changed violently as she saw the people behind Shirou—countless shadowy figures. Magi, knights, missionaries, soldiers, merchants, commoners...

One by one, they slowly walked toward Shirou, entering his body.

Abruptly, a wave of true panic surged within the Beast.

"Crack crack crack crack--"

Shirou’s face fractured ...

IBHJ Chapter 625

"Let me out!"

With a snap like a taut string breaking, the Beast couldn't restrain herself any longer.

"Out! Out!" she shouted in rage. "Do you know what's out there in the outside world? I'll tell you - it's filled with animals. It's hell. There's no place for you out there! Shut your mouth and stay put in my body! You'll experience supreme happiness there!"

"The world you left me in seemed happy, but none of it was real!"

"So what? As long as you feel happy, isn't th...

IBHJ Chapter 624

The sun blazed endlessly in the cloudless sky as thunder crashed like rolling floodwaters across the land.

With an earsplitting boom, Arjuna fell from the sky like a meteor, obliterating countless boulders before finally slamming to a halt, buried in rubble.

Lightning sizzled and thunder grunted as the stones entombing him shuddered and rose into the air like disturbed dust before raining back down.

Arjuna crouched amidst the debris, blood trickling from his temple, his body...

IBHJ Chapter 623

Beast III could forgive anyone's hostility and hatred directed at herself. Any violence against her she took in stride, even relishing it. But there was a sole exception—the only thing intolerable to her: this split-off part of herself!

Even if she couldn't eliminate her existence, Beast III absolutely refused to confront her.

And now, because of his words, Kiara struggled more fiercely than ever, wrestling with the intent to break free of Beast III's body through sheer willpowe...

IBHJ Chapter 622

"M-Mr. Assassin..."

Beast III's compassionate smile instantly froze. As if sensing something inconceivable, her eyes constricted sharply.

"M-Mr. Assassin...you're right. Finding happiness in an illusion only helps me - it does nothing for others I have failed or those I still owe apologies. Suffering continues to exist..." A frail feminine voice echoed from within Beast III's body.

Impossible!

Beast III's eyes narrowed as all pretense of compassion vanished, leaving on...

IBHJ Chapter 621

The subway train zoomed past. The objects around Shirou started morphing into something illusory—or rather, they'd been illusory all along. 

Standing at the end of the car, he stared out the window into the distance at the city, which seemed to dissolve gradually into haze.

He just stood there, eyes fixed on the utopian metropolis sprawled before him. As the train barreled forth into some unknown future, endless white light blasted from behind, swallowing everything around ...

IBHJ Chapter 620

"Artie..."

He set Mordred down to stare at the aproned woman. "You're not calling me 'King' anymore?"

As Mordred cried "Mommy!" and tackle-hugged her, Artorie wiped her hands on her apron. She lightly stroked Mordred's cheeks before lifting her head. "What nonsense are you saying, Shirou? Why would I call you 'King'?"

She wore a gentle smile, but her eyes were scary.

"Ah...just joking around," he laughed weakly.

It was then that Ritsuka, who'd been lying in front...

IBHJ Chapter 619

A bright flash of white light blazed past, and Shirou felt a moment of dizziness and disorientation. When his head cleared, he found himself staring into a pair of wine-red eyes.

He was in the library. In front of him stood a woman with short, golden hair cut to her ears. She wore a simple white blouse and black pleated skirt showing off her slender legs in black stockings. Her golden locks framed a fair face currently scrunched up in anger.

Though she looked sixteen or seventeen,...

IBHJ Chapter 618

Devil's Bodhisattva gently lowered her head, then raised her compassionate, bright gaze towards Shirou and Mordred with a gentle smile. "Isn't Mr. Assassin wondering what my true goal is? Very well, I shall tell you. I'm here to provide salvation. I will make the Earth my body—no, I will become countless Earths, saving all the people across the connected multitude of worlds from the endless sea of suffering. I will send them to that happy, carefree Paradise. Ah...just imagining that feeling...

IBHJ Chapter 617

Shirou told Saber and the others that Beasts couldn't be negotiated with. However, being unable to negotiate didn't equate to being unable communicate.

Beasts still possessed rationality, merely a rationality that ordinary people couldn't comprehend.

Simply put, they violated the worldviews and values of the masses, thus leading to the inability to negotiate. But communication was still possible.

Kiara wasn't annoyed by his denial. She showed a gentle smile and said, “That...

IBHJ Chapter 616

Indeed, the swordsmanship sublimated into Lancelot's Noble Phantasm.

Arondight Overload: Breaking All Restraints - The Overloaded Light of the Lake!

This Noble Phantasm overloads Lancelot's sword, Arondight, with magical energy. Rather than emitting the energy as a ranged attack, it releases the vast power on contact when cutting a target. The overflowing blue light resembles a shimmering lake - thus "Unbreakable Lake Light."

Shirou had reproduced this explosive swordsmanshi...

IBHJ Chapter 615

Kotomine stood in place, gazing at the sky, a look of bewilderment on his face.

Through the vast, dark night, warm sunlight leaked past the thick black fog smothering the land, casting faint golden rays onto the earth below.

Such intense light...

His eyes widened in astonishment. At this midnight hour — the darkest time when no light should permeate the land — why were rays of sun streaming through?

The strangeness plagued not only Kotomine, but everyone's minds as...

IBHJ Chapter 614

With a sigh, Mordred packed away that impractical fantasy and all those wistful thoughts.

She had already overcome tribulation and forged her own legend. Reality was as it was; there was no need to indulge an illusion that shouldn't exist, like a childish girl.

Mordred turned her back to Shirou, leaving him with only the sight of her petite figure, unable to see her expression.

In an even tone betraying no emotion, she said, "I have lost, thoroughly and completely. If you wa...

IBHJ Chapter 613

Mordred looked at the chalice Shirou had retrieved from two thousand meters underground, disbelief flooding her face.

Impossible... How could he have possibly found this chalice?

Could it be that he had seen through her scheme from the very beginning?

Then why did he keep attacking her right side during their fight?

Had that attacks been a bluff as well?

Clenching her fists in frustration, she gritted her teeth. "Did you see through my Noble Phantasm from the beg...

IBHJ Chapter 612

Shirou's brows rose slightly. His propulsion devices flared again to widen the distance between them. From his Unlimited Blade Works, he summoned the Death Scythe, slashing directly at the vulnerable spot on her lower abdomen.

As when first facing Achilles and Atalanta, the scythe's cruel curve tore through the very fabric of space, stabbing at her abdomen.

With her Instinct skill inherited from Artoria, Mordred twisted her waist by sheer instinct, barely dodging the scythe's dead...

IBHJ Chapter 611

After parting ways with Shirou and the others, Adam led his people to stay near Trifas. He located the underground passage they had previously used to escape from the Millennia Fortress. Originally, Adam had intended to infiltrate the Fortress through this passage to save Spartacus.

However, much to their surprise, Spartacus had vanished without a trace. The only Black Servant remaining to stand guard over the fortress was Caster.

Seizing this unexpected opportunity, Adam and his ...

IBHJ Chapter 610

In that moment, Nero’s anti-team Noble Phantasm was activated. A gorgeous golden theater was constructed around Nero and Kiara—the theater she had built during her life in Rome. This greater magecraft was similar to, yet different from a Reality Marble. Once deployed, it would weaken and confine any enemies locked within.

“Are you planning to keep me company here? What passionate love,” Kiara said with a smile.

“Who wants to accompany you! I’m going to lock you in here...

IBHJ Chapter 609

Saber tightened her grip on the holy sword, a solemn look on her face. It was clearly extremely difficult to swing her sword at Kiara—at both versions of her. Since there were two Kiaras, it meant one was the real Kiara Sessyoin and the other was the Beast that Shirou had told them about.

Just then, a questioning voice emerged from the rubble: "How did you know we were both me, King Arthur?"

Hearing this, the trio stiffened in shock.

Two Kiara Sessyoins, both unharmed, sta...

IBHJ Chapter 608

Standing before Mordred, Shirou asked, "The one you were waiting for...it wasn't me?"

She looked at him, her expression lonely and disappointed. "The one I was waiting for was Eternal King, not you, Assassin."

"I'm sorry, Mordred. Eternal King...won't appear before you." he sighed.

He knew. Yes, he understood that the one she sought was not Shirou, but the legendary king himself.

"Why?" she demanded. "You said you could become Eternal King. So why won't you transform? ...

IBHJ Chapter 607

Shirou, Vlad and Spartacus marched steadily toward the central area. It seemed Semiramis and Kotomine had sensed the danger as well, as more monsters blocked their path, including some large beasts.

But these creatures posed no true obstacle. Between Shirou, Vlad's ferocity, and even Spartacus's berserker strength, how could mere monsters stop them?

Nor could Semiramis rely solely on her Hanging Gardens to fend off Shirou's advances. She seemed to know this too. However, the Assyr...
