IBHJ Chapter 426

"Boom—!"

Two brilliant beams of light burst towards the sky shrouded in black mist.

The air crackled with a mix of storm and thunder, as if they were dancing together. Amidst this celestial display, piercing through the thick shroud of darkness were the radiant beams of light rushing straight at the monstrous dragon's head.

In an instant, the dragon's crown emitted a swirling mass of black mist, gradually taking the form of a sinister humanoid figure.

Though devoid o...

The family representatives were all gathered in discussion, and even the lords, despite their composed expressions, seemed a bit gloomy.

Their influence held significant weight, and they had a wide network of information sources. As they gathered here, they already had some notions in mind.

"And not just that, these phantoms are appearing all over the world," Marisbury gestured toward the window, where a white dragon soared in the sky. "In Egypt, there's a phantom of a Phoenix, in...

These sinister humanoid figures displayed both male and female characteristics, along with humanoid and non-humanoid features, all emitting muffled howls.

And each of these humanoid forms exuded a sensation similar to that of the fallen Astraea.

"Crack, crack, crack, crack—"

The sky continued to crumble, as if its entire being was bursting through from another dimension.

The sheer size of its head alone exceeded that of the heavenly bull, so the true extent ...

A pitch-black thunder rumbled through the twisted void, its relentless "thump thump thump" suddenly silenced. It was as though a monstrous entity tearing through the sky had been frozen in its tracks.

And then, in the next moment...

From the torn fabric of the sky, emerged an immense crimson form.

A deep, blood-red hue... 

Eye!

Fear and terror gripped everyone.

An indescribable dread took hold of everyone present.

Even Young Shirou felt it too, t...

In the distance, a resounding thunder echoed with divine power. The celestial force of the stars and the authority of lightning blended seamlessly, converging into a towering column of light. There was no doubt that Astraea was making her move!

The land itself seemed to shimmer as the light spread, and the sky above was a dense shroud of black mist, almost as if it were cleaving the world in two—dividing it into realms of heaven and earth.

Caught in this momentary standoff, Isht...

Fuyuki Church.

After dealing with all the intense scrutiny from the surface world, Caren Hortensia couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. When she became a priest at the Fuyuki Church, she figured it would be a rather laid-back job. But then that massive battle up on Mt. Enzou happened, and suddenly the whole city was in chaos. Not only did she have to deal with questions from the local big shots like the mayor of Fuyuki City, but she also had these higher-ups from all over the wor...

Ishtar evaded the oncoming black mud that Shirou had thrown her way, yet her current circumstances were anything but favorable.

Artoria had efficiently taken care of Beatrice, while the bull of heaven she relied upon had been dispatched by the combined efforts of Gil and Arcueid.

In that moment, she found herself surrounded by Shirou and his group, trapped in a difficult situation..

As a manifestation of a god, she wasn't supposed to find herself in such a dire situation. Ag...

At that moment, Beatrice's divine arm, while powerful, became a hindrance due to their length and size. The lightning enveloping her proved ineffective against her opponent's agility. Artoria's fists hammered relentlessly into Beatrice's abdomen.

The blows landed heavily and unrelentingly on the same target. Despite the protection of Magni and Thor's divine power granted by her class card, Beatrice felt her stomach churn with each continuous strike. The repeated pummeling nearly caused ...

Shirou's expression turned gloomy as he looked at the majestic form of Gugalanna emerging from the sea. This creature wasn't just about using its massive body to defeat enemies like a Merem's whale. It was a genuine high-level Divine Beast, boasting not only an enormous physique but also wielding a portion of the goddess Ishtar's authority.

Just its movement alone could cause disasters equivalent to meteor impacts, and the authority it held could emit radiance akin to stars capable of b...

"Fujimaru-niisan..."

The night felt so long, but when Miyu saw Shirou's profile, she felt relieved despite her intense fear of their enemy.

She noticed that while Shirou typically exuded seriousness and authority, creating a sense of distance, moments like these brought an overwhelming feeling of comfort and safety.

He was someone who instilled a sense of safety in others. With him around, it felt like even if the sky were to collapse, there would be no danger.

"How is this possible?" Beatrice's face was filled with disbelief.

Her hammer was the legendary weapon of Thor, a symbol of unparalleled strength in Norse mythology, embodying the immense power of a god, the very essence of might!

Even if she couldn't fully tap into the incredible strength of a god, given her physical prowess, her abilities were at an A rank!

With hammer's augmentation, the power should've surged even more, yet it had been blocked!

In the faraway sky, lightning and thunder mixed together, then a startling thunderbolt headed for Miyu.

The blue lightning lit up Angelica's calm face, along with the surprised expressions of Miyu and Gray.

"Boom rumble rumble rumble—"

The natural power crashed down, transforming the nearby earth into scorched soil. The lively celebration suddenly fell silent.

Angelica said calmly, "You went a bit too far, Beatrice."

"Tch!"

A female voice echoed as a red-...

In the middle of July, the evening glow of summer stretched from the western horizon to encompass the entire world. The silent crimson hue resembled a brushstroke on a canvas, altering the color palette of all pedestrians.

July 20th marked not only Illya and her friends' birthdays but also the celebration of the Summer Fireworks Festival. Cities worldwide, Tokyo included, hosted fireworks festivals, totaling seven or eight in number. Fuyuki City was no exception.

The Ainsworth family initiated a Holy Grail War, summoning seven Servants using Class Cards, all with the goal of executing their plan through Miyu. But in an unexpected twist, Emiya Shirou achieved victory against all the Servants, and he further solidified this by making a wish for Miyu to lead a normal, peaceful life. This effectively brought the entire conflict to an end.

But, as luck would have it, this move led to Emiya Shirou getting caught by the Ainsworth family. Eventually, th...

Inhaling deeply from his cigarette, Kiritsugu's gaze lingered within the swirls of smoke before shifting to the snow-covered city ahead—an urban landscape that appeared almost lifeless.

—Fuyuki City.

It had been six months since he had found himself in this world, but he still struggled to accept this version of the city.

In his own world, despite the ongoing disasters like the catastrophic Fourth Holy Grail War and the havoc caused by the Dead Apostles, Fuyuki City had ...

Sunday, July 20, 2003.

Illya's birthday party was held at the beach.

When Shirou brought the others over, there were already quite a few people present.

Illya's birthday party wasn't actually grand. Besides acquaintances, only a few of Illya's close friends attended.

A group of girls gathered together, chatting away, discussing daily life, having fun, and enjoying their youth.

However, what surprised him was that this piece of land had been bought by Luvia in the...

It was nighttime. Seated at the edge of his bed, Shirou watched as the black mud surged out from within him, pooling before him.

"Splash, splash, splash—"

The mud amassed, sticking and melding until it shaped into a formless, obsidian humanoid figure. Yet, upon closer inspection, its silhouette bore an uncanny resemblance to Shirou himself.

Looking at this humanoid manifestation of evil, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, "At last, it's complete."

Saber, Archer, Lancer... Among the seven Class Cards that came with Miyu into Fuyuki City from a parallel world, only the Berserker card remains unaccounted for.

Berserker now stands as the ultimate practical dummy for the girls' team.

Lately, a new member has joined the trio—Red, Yellow, and Blue—a representative of the silver color: Gray.

In Illya's words, it's starting to feel more and more like a Power Ranger team.

Gray's inclusion in Illya's team might have be...

"Ah, now you're getting angry. But no matter, speaking the truth always brings resentment. I've come to understand that long ago," Gil chuckled, "So carry this burden well and continue tormenting yourself. However, mark my words, you will definitely end up drowning yourself."

"I'm not upset about that!"

Gil asked curiously, "Then what is it?"

As Shirou looked at Artoria standing before him, he nodded with a sense of relief.

Finally, another matter has been resolved.

However, he couldn't help but notice something amiss in her expression, prompting him to ask, "Is something bothering you? Are you not feeling well as a Saber?"

She shook her head gently, taking a deep breath before speaking seriously, "No, it's not that. My King, I must ask for severe punishment."

As soon as he stepped into the Mirror World, Shirou immediately saw that familiar figure.

The swordsman was wearing heavy black armor and holding a black sword. She had dark golden hair, and black storm was brewing around her, as though she were the personification of despair itself.

Following closely behind were Illya and the other three, who were all startled by the dense magical storm surrounding the swordsman.

It was an awe-inspiring dream, a tale of a girl brought into existence through a plan fueled by the late king's dissatisfaction. She had strived relentlessly, sacrificing countless sleepless nights, all in pursuit of becoming the "Ideal King." However, in her relentless pursuit of perfection, she lost touch with her true self and the ability to comprehend others' emotions like a regular human.

Bound by the late king's will, she would take on the mantle of leadership, guiding her loyal k...

Shirou had been putting in work, training Illya and her team for over a week.

Out of the three, Chloe was definitely the most combat savvy. And when it came to smarts and leadership, Miyu took the cake.

Illya, on the other hand, with her possession of the Grail's Crystal, was like a cannon ready to go off. With his guidance, the trio started to find their roles, and their coordination just kept getting better.

He acknowledged their efforts, and as a result, Illya and the oth...

"What in the world is this?"

Gil gazed at the Kamen Rider Ruby armor worn by Miyu, captivated by those gleaming red eyes.

What a flawless design! Especially those large compound eyes...

It perfectly resonated with his sense of aesthetics!

Honestly, he had always thought that the gold armor he wore as an adult was a bit too vulgar.

Sure, he understood that as an adult, gold symbolized the dignity of kings, but it just wasn't his style. Now, though, he had found an...

"Please, give Ruby to me Fujimaru-niisan," Miyu stared at him with a determined gaze.

Shirou took a moment before responding, "Have you really considered this? Are you absolutely sure about stepping into the world of magi?"

"Yes, I've thought it through," she nodded, her expression serious. "Ever since I learned about Illya's situation, I've been questioning whether it's right to always depend on others for my destiny. Now, I've come to realize that even though I'm still seeking y...

Shirou couldn't shake off Gil's words as they kept echoing in his mind. According to him, the odds of Shirou not returning from that parallel world were grim, at over ninety percent.

His Noble Phantasm could only see what was within his line of sight. However, Gil's Sha Naqba Imuru was different, so he had to take it seriously.

Initially, he had planned to amass magical energy up to A+ by tapping into the 'Evil' lingering among the citizens of Fuyuki City. Then, in his complete st...

Gil shook his head firmly and stated, "I've already agreed, and backing out is not my style. Besides, I have complete confidence that I won't lose!"

As he spoke, Gil's expression turned serious, and his eyes glowed with a flicker of red light.

Seeing this, Shirou also turned serious. He knew that Gil was about to fully unleash his [Sha Naqba Imuru]!

His certainty stemmed from the notification of his own Noble Phantasm—

Chloe glanced at him.

As Shirou glanced towards Illya and the others, he let out a quiet sigh.

Even without using Eternal King's Class Card, he could already tell that Gil was after Chloe.

"Let's end it here, Gil."

Gil scratched the back of his head, looking troubled. "You know it's not possible, Eternal King. Only Enkidu can share treasures with me. Besides, that's still a part of me. I can't just hand it over to someone else."

Chloe squatted by the riverbank, hugging her knees with one hand, while the other idly picked up a small pebble and tossed it towards the water.

The pebble danced across the water's surface, skipping three times before finally sinking beneath the gentle ripples.

Her thoughts were in chaos.

"What am I supposed to do?"

This question kept echoing in her mind.

She was the one who had been abandoned, destined to fade away.
