IBHJ Chapter 486

After the sound of the hauntingly sweet yet sinister female voice stopped, the black vup vibrated, emitting a buzzing sound. Then, after a few crackling sounds, it looked as though it was covered in spiderweb cracks. With a crisp snap, it fell apart, disappearing from Shirou's hand as if it had been an illusion.

It felt like the relic had been a figment of their imagination all along. Yet, everyone present was certain it had been real, resting in Shirou's hand just a moment ago. Then th...

IBHJ Chapter 485

Artoria handed the black cup to Shirou, who nodded and accepted it, feeling a deep guilt toward her. She stood quietly behind him, leaving him at a loss for words.

In their last clash with the monstrous being, before the storm even had a chance to start, Scathach unleashed her most powerful technique, sacrificing everything. The aftermath was devastating; her body started to crumble away, dissipating like spiritual particles, growing fainter by the moment.

With a light laugh, Scat...

IBHJ Chapter 484

Solomon gazed at him. The young man was so bright and full of life, radiating the same vibrant light Solomon had witnessed during his own lifetime—the glow of humanity he had always wanted to embrace.

Scathach danced nimbly atop the monster, her crimson spear moving so swiftly that it was almost a blur in her grasp. She didn't just tear through the monster and shatter its defenses; she also protected the other Heroic Spirits as they made their ascent towards the tainted relic of the L...

IBHJ Chapter 483

Instead of just watching others shine, these Heroic Spirits wanted a piece of the spotlight for themselves!

Shirou caught their eager eyes and quickly said, "Don't even think about it! I've spent all of my mana on Scathach; there's nothing left for anyone else!"

Beyond those AOE Noble Phantasms and skills, he had thrown every buff he had at Scathach. He naturally didn’t have any mana to spare.

The Heroic Spirits couldn’t hide their disappointment.

Okita Souji could...

IBHJ Chapter 482

Shirou stood next to the throne, glowing with a soft silver light, almost like a morning star cutting through the darkness of the world. This gentle light seemed to reach out from him, connecting to everyone else in the whole temple.

Whether they were Heroic Spirits or Demon God Pillars, everyone glowed with a subtle light.

This light was the connector. Under its influence, the parameters of both the Demon God Pillars and the Heroic Spirits were elevated to another level and their...

IBHJ Chapter 481

Meanwhile, King Solomon lightly tapped his throne's armrest with his finger.

"Thud."

One of the Demon God Pillars initiated the charging sequence of its cannon, radiating with a dazzling brilliance. With a deafening roar, the light cannon was unleashed, targeting the chains that were yanking Merlin.

With a sharp "crack," the chains shattered, and Merlin plummeted to the ground right in front of Solomon's throne.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..." Merlin groaned, rubbing his sore ba...

IBHJ Chapter 480

The pitch-black thunder unleashed its full power, effortlessly tearing through the beams of light from the 71 Demon God Pillars.

"Roar—"

The abomination let out a deafening roar and grabbed hold of the heavenly chains sealed inside it. Swinging them around like makeshift weapons, it hurled them at the surrounding Heroic Spirits.

The first chain whipped straight toward Karna. Caught off guard, he had no time to dodge. Instead, he channeled all his magical energy into his go...

IBHJ Chapter 479

Okita Souji didn't say anything and refocused on her attempts to break through the monster's layers of divine authorities. However, her efforts felt more like defense than actual attacks.

With three stacks of [God Slayer C], everyone had a special edge against gods. But this abomination, enhanced by multiple divine authorities, was in a league of its own. Even specialized attacks seemed useless against it.

That didn't mean they were out of options, though. he took a quick inventor...

IBHJ Chapter 478

The old man felt as though he were trapped in a tangle of black tentacles, rendering him completely immobilized and helpless. What troubled him most was the mind control that manipulated him, compelling him to activate his second magic. On one hand, he channeled magical energy into the abomination; on the other, he unleashed a series of magical cannons to counter Gilgamesh's Chains of Heaven.

Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes, clearly displeased, "Mage, are you here to cause trouble,, or are ...

IBHJ Chapter 477

"What?" His eyebrow shot up.

He was aware that time flowed differently across various worlds. Over fifteen hundred years ago, Zelretch had been transformed into a Dead Apostle. This transformation caused the Second Magic to go haywire, creating a link between this world and Miyu's parallel world. Coincidentally, at that exact moment, the Greek gods in that parallel world had just created Pandora.

This piece of information had been previously confirmed through what Astraea had said...

IBHJ Chapter 476

The corrupted gods began to disintegrate, transforming into a mud-like substance that flowed with a sloshing sound. They merged into a single entity, taking on the nightmarish form of a monstrous humanoid creature.

Reaching a height of roughly ten meters, it looked like some kind of freakish humanoid mass. It was covered in twisted faces that made people's skin crawl. Then, with a series of creepy "cracks," the surface burst open, and a bunch of twisted hands shot out, oozing nasty blac...

IBHJ Chapter 475

The corrupted gods focused on Shirou as if he were a priceless treasure. Though their eyes were obscured by dark, muddy faces, their expressions were undeniably manic. They seemed captivated, as if they couldn't look away.

Ignoring the gods, he lifted his head to look at Zelretch and said evenly, "I want to run an experiment."

The old man looked incredulous. "Are you out of your mind? You're the target! Don't you get what this thing really is? It's after you, the vessel it needs!"...

IBHJ Chapter 474

Gilgamesh's frown deepened. His Chains of Heaven were strong enough to bind a single god. But when faced with the combined might of seventeen corrupted gods, the chains faltered, unable to restrain them.

But it made sense. Even specialized Noble Phantasms had their limitations when up against overwhelming force.

Take Tiamat, for example. As the mother of all gods, her divinity was off the charts, which in theory should make the Chains of Heaven's anti-divine capabilities super eff...

IBHJ Chapter 473

The dragon's head consumed the massive arms and began undergoing a startling transformation. Gilgamesh, the Demonic God Pillars, and the others intensified their attacks, but it was as if they were making no impact. Unperturbed, the dragon's head continued to morph, its core—the black cup—emitting a mysterious dark light.

Right then, Shirou took a quick look at his mana level.

[Mana: B]

"No wonder it's the Second Magic," he thought. Tapping into a parall...

IBHJ Chapter 472

"Hateful... hateful... hateful..."

"Vessel... vessel... vessel..."

"My vessel..."

"That thing seems ready to unleash something nasty," Gilgamesh remarked, narrowing his eyes. Turning to Shirou, he said, "Without magical energy, you're pretty much dead weight. Step back."

Shirou shook his head. "I have a plan..."

Almost reflexively, Gilgamesh took a step back and exclaimed, "I'd rather not hear your plan!"

Shirou stared at him, incredulous. "Seriously? You'r...

IBHJ Chapter 471

Artoria wasn't the only one taken aback; Gilgamesh was also momentarily surprised before breaking into laughter. When he turned his eyes to Shirou, they burned with intensity. "Heh, look who's back."

Shirou stepped in to stop Gilgamesh from badmouthing Artoria and openly declared her as his woman. But really, was that even a surprise? Granted, under the influence of Crimson Moon, he had entertained some less-than-honorable thoughts about her. But could anyone blame him?

Back when ...

IBHJ Chapter 470

It's over. The moment Arcueid decided to become the Moon's Ultimate One, every issue surrounding Crimson Moon was resolved. There are no more lingering problems.

With the change of the throne, everything left by the previous king would be buried, ushering in a new era.

The Dead Apostles who had infiltrated the human army started to pull back, almost like a receding tide. But this time, Shirou wasn't about to let them off the hook.

He did two things at once. First, he sent Ca...

IBHJ Chapter 469

As he stood there, the bright moon overhead illuminated Arcueid's graceful figure as she soared away, becoming one with the moonlit night.

"How beautiful..." Some onlookers sighed, struck by the image of a goddess flying to the moon.

It was the stuff of romantic myths, yet beneath this poetic moment was a harsh reality. A friend who'd wanted the best for another had inadvertently ruined that friend's life. A lover of life and the world had come close to destroying both. Someone wh...

IBHJ Chapter 468

The collision between the two celestial bodies was not just a calamity; it also sounded the doomsday horn.

In South America, something extraordinary occurred. The Giant Spider, a dormant Dead Apostle Ancestor revered as a god by the locals, finally woke up. This entity didn't originate from Earth; it actually descended from Mercury alongside the Crimson Moon, marking it as an UO from Mercury itself.

Its enormous form, towering over forty meters high, let out a bone-chilling howl i...

IBHJ Chapter 467

The fact that her friend didn't blame her only intensified Arcueid's agony. Tears streamed down her face. She was just a naive soul who loved the world, valued life, and cared deeply for her friends. And yet, she had ended up destroying everything she held precious.

The purity of her closest friend, who suffered the most due to her actions yet bore no grudge, made Arcueid feel unworthy and deepened her sorrow. But she couldn't afford to fall apart. She knew that if she did, Crimson Moon...

IBHJ Chapter 466

The Emperor revealed a cold smile. This was what he had strived so hard to obtain—the great power of [Mortal Awakening]! While it cannot be controlled under normal circumstances, the 'Mortal Awakening - Emperor' of the Eternal King can be manipulated.

As long as the Eternal King's incomplete Imperial records could be completed with the fragments of the Crimson Moon, his Invisible Vortex would activate, officially crowning him as the Emperor.

Using the fragments of the Crimson Mo...

IBHJ Chapter 465

Crimson Moon was taken aback. Instead of panicking, Shirou was actually laughing. Even more, he was openly taunting her. This unexpected behavior made her start to feel a bit uneasy.

She had been hidden within him for ten years, and over an extensive period of fifteen hundred years, she had come to deeply understand the darker aspects of humanity. The elite were particularly detestable, so much so that she found them indescribable. Words couldn't capture the depth of their corruption. A...

IBHJ Chapter 464

The True Ancestors who acted as her pawns were laughably naive. They never even questioned why they were suddenly able to create new True Ancestors that also happened to be ideal vessels. They chalked it all up to the planet's influence. Even the planet was clueless, believing that this new creation was a tribute to her own power—a perfect replica born of her essence, a vessel suited to carry out her bidding.

All of this could be realized because of the wisdom of humanity. Arcueid was...

IBHJ Chapter 463

In response to Crimson Moon's words, he rolled his eyes and said, "Really? I thought you were going to share something important. This is common knowledge. You're rather clueless, aren't you?"

"What...what are you saying?" she paused, her eyes widening. "You're aware of this?"

Seizing the moment of her hesitation, Artoria lunged at her with the holy sword. She dodged just in time, quickly putting distance between them. Her eyes met his, clouded with doubt and uncertainty.

Sh...

IBHJ Chapter 462

"How can that be... the holy sword?" Crimson Moon's eyes were fixed on the blade in Artoria's hand, her expression filled with confusion.

She was absolutely sure she had destroyed the real holy sword, not some mere Noble Phantasm!

Artoria's icy gaze met hers through the slits in her lion-shaped helmet.

Excalibur was not just any weapon; it was forged by the planet itself. It also served as the planet's most formidable line of defense against threats from beyond the stars. 2023-09-09 04:08:52 +0000 UTC View Post

IBHJ Chapter 461

Gilgamesh gave Shirou a pat on the shoulder, making him turn around.

Crossing his arms and lifting his nose, Gilgamesh said with a scoff, "Don't disappoint me, you mongrel."

Shirou looked at him, his face a mix of emotions. "Gilgamesh, did you know all along?"

"Hmph," Gilgamesh huffed, "Didn't I bring it up in the Clairvoyance Chat Group when I was alive? I told you ages ago that the fall of your kingdom was absurd."

"You're aware that sometimes Crimson Moon poses as A...

IBHJ Chapter 460

Artoria sensed that something wasn't right, as if there was a crucial detail she was missing. She looked at Gareth, whose face was clouded with sadness, almost as if she were about to cry. Then she turned to Galahad. His fists were clenched so tightly they had turned white, and his eyes betrayed a complex blend of sorrow and anger.

"Paul," she whispered, rolling the name around in her mind.

Why did it sound so familiar?

"You've really forgotten? You actually forgot about thi...

IBHJ Chapter 459

A growing pool of blood spreading out around Artoria.

"Your Highness—!" Gray cried out in panic.

Artoria gripped her bleeding abdomen and managed to look back at her attacker, her face a mix of confusion and pain. "Why... Why, Arcueid?"

The person who had betrayed them, who had struck from behind, was none other than Arcueid— the one person they had all trusted the most.

"Your Highness—!!"

Gareth and Galahad rushed to Artoria's side, forming a protective ba...

IBHJ Chapter 458

Karna remained remarkably composed, a testament to his unwavering composure in the face of anything. However, there was a slight increase in his pace, indicating that he couldn't maintain his composure when it came to his brother. Likewise, the feeling was mutual for Arjuna. As Karna picked up the pace, Arjuna's expression hardened, and he quickened his stride as well. 

The two brothers were now in a race!

Meanwhile, the three Counter Guardians were teaming up to take down th...

IBHJ Chapter 457

The air shimmered as another one of Solomon's rings glowed, and suddenly, a massive pillar erupted from the ground. This wasn't your average pillar, though—it was adorned in all sorts of eerie eyes. Definitely a Demon God Pillars. The one-eyed giants in the area sensed the danger and weren't having any of it. They let out powerful roars and started hurling attacks at the pillar. The eyes on the pillar had no choice but to divert some of their attention to fend off the giants.

The eeri...
