IBHJ Chapter 246

More than ten days had passed, and though Shirou still had his worries, he knew he had to carry on with his daily routine and face things as they came. The future was uncertain, and he had to leave it up to fate.

Yet, despite his best efforts to focus on the present, Shirou found himself confused about which side he should take, assuming such a decision would ever need to be made. It was ironic that after surmounting so many obstacles, he now feared a possible future.

However, he ...

IBHJ Chapter 245

Shirou groaned and slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he noticed was an intense pain in his back, as if someone was trying to snap his spine in half. He instinctively reached for his lower back, wincing as he propped himself up on the bed. As he tried to sit up straight, a wave of dizziness washed over him, making him feel like he had just emerged from the depths of the underworld.

"What the hell happened?" he muttered to himself, feeling very uncomfortable. Had he been sitting in ...

IBHJ Chapter 244

Artoria wiped away her tears and, following an impulse she couldn't quite explain, headed to Morgan's magic workshop. She hesitated for a moment before stepping inside.

Morgan was in the middle of preparing a potion when she looked up to see Artoria. "What brings you here?" she asked, her tone sharp.

Artoria took a deep breath before answering. "I..."

Morgan raised an eyebrow, cutting her off. "Are you here to threaten me?"

She shook her head quickly. "No, no, of cours...

IBHJ Chapter 243

As Shirou sat on the throne, he summoned Artoria and Morgan and dismissed everyone else. Guinevere remained seated at the desk, engrossed in doing paperwork.

"My king, is there something you need?" Artoria asked as she approached.

Morgan smiled and was about to walk over, but Shirou stopped her, saying, "Stay where you are and don't move!"

Morgan's face froze.

Shirou put on his black armor.

Morgan's face froze even more.

Why was he so guarded?

Artoria...

IBHJ Chapter 242

After more than a month had passed, Camelot had been successfully cleared of all destruction and rebuilt to its former glory. In a strategic move, Shirou decided to relocate the capital to Camelot, recognizing its importance as a political and cultural center.

Despite Cornwall's development over several years, its geographical location is less than ideal for serving as a political hub.

Cornwall's wealth of mineral resources and coastal location make it an ideal candidate for becom...

IBHJ Chapter 241

The moon hung alone in the pitch-black sky, casting a chilly, faint light over the earth. Outside the Kingdom, where the Dead Apostles once roamed, campfires dotted the forest like twinkling stars. The flames danced wildly, illuminating a lively scene.

Amidst these campfires, soldiers sat and relaxed, taking off their armor and chatting over drinks. The warm glow of the fires and the sound of their laughter filled the night air, creating a sense of camaraderie and comfort in the midst o...

IBHJ Chapter 240

The holy lance Rhongomyniad recognized Shirou as the rightful lord of the Island, signaling an end to the long battle with the past.

But Shirou couldn't accept this honor alone - it would be a betrayal of all the warriors who had sacrificed their lives for this cause.

It was not just him. It was them.

Together, they had thwarted the final counterattack of the past era.

However, the matter was far from over. Although the leaders had perished, beasts still roamed the lan...

IBHJ Chapter 239

"Have you abandoned all reason in your quest for power?" The king's words dripped with disappointment as he spoke to the Dragon.

The two had always been on opposing paths: one chose to turn back, while the other relentlessly pushed forward. As they faced each other now, it was clear that they had reached a point of no return.

The Dragon was a passionate creature, guided by his emotions and rich in feelings. Yet this very passion often became his undoing, clouding his judgment and ...

IBHJ Chapter 238

"Can you lend me this sword and scabbard for a while?" the king asked.

"Of course, my king," she replied, placing the Sword of Promised Victory into its scabbard before presenting it to him.

She felt a deep sense of pride and honor in being able to offer this weapon to her king. To her, dedicating everything to him and securing victory was the greatest possible reward.

Taking the sword and scabbard from Artoria, the king unsheathed the Holy Sword and turned his gaze toward t...

IBHJ Chapter 237

It goes without saying that no one there could match Vortigern's power individually. Even Scathach would have struggled to defeat Vortigern in his dragon form without a divine weapon to aid her.

Arcueid, who possessed the strongest individual strength on Shirou's team, faced her own challenges due to the weakness of her body. Her immortality was greatly diminished, forcing her to take a supporting role on the battlefield. She used Marble Phantasm to materialize beasts and provide assist...

IBHJ Chapter 236

The starlight condensed and transformed into a sharp sword that bore a striking resemblance to Excalibur. He then handed the scabbard to Artoria and instructed her to keep it close and away from Guinevere's sight.

Although she was curious, Merlin insisted that the matter pertained to the fate of the king, and so she remained silent.

After some time, Artoria's injuries had completely healed, and Guinevere said, "Can we leave now?"

"Of course," Merlin said with a smile.

...

IBHJ Chapter 235

Artoria groggily opened her eyes and saw two faces hovering above her. Her mind slowly came back into focus, and she remembered the last thing she had seen before passing out.

"My king--!" she exclaimed, sitting up abruptly.

"You're not on the battlefield anymore, Lily," Merlin said with a small smile.

Artoria's anxiety spiked as she looked around frantically. "Where is the King? Is he alright?"

"He's perfectly fine," he reassured her. "In fact, he's doing very well."<...

IBHJ Chapter 234

As Shirou watched the white dragon roam freely in the sky, he knew their defeat was inevitable unless they could take it down.

He approached Arcueid with a question.

"Arcueid, can you make the 'Moon Fall'?"

"I can, but I can't create too large of a moon."

"Enough to suppress the white dragon will suffice," he replied, pointing towards a valley. "Go there and wait for me."

"What are you planning to do?"

"I'm going to lure the dragon over."

"No, Arthur!...

IBHJ Chapter 233

"Roar, roar, roar!!!"

The sky reverberated with the deafening roar of a massive white dragon, measuring over thirty meters in length. Its body hovering in the air, as the holy lance Rhongomyniad transformed into a horn on its head, radiating a brilliant white light that illuminated the surrounding clouds.

On the ground, the beasts joined in the chorus of roars, unleashing their final counterattack of the Age of Gods.

Using all his strength, Shirou dispelled the black mud dom...

IBHJ Chapter 232

This is a story of perpetual self-discovery, set in a time long, long ago.

The Evil Eye King, Balor, met his demise at the hands of the Sun God Lugh, the god of the sun. Balor's lifeless body fell onto the island of Britain, creating the magnificent mountain of Barton.

Balor possessed two eyes, one of which was his most potent weapon. If opened, this eye could kill anyone who met its gaze, regardless of whether they were mortal or godly. However, it was also Balor's sole weakness....

IBHJ Chapter 231

"Arthur, come out and fight me!" Vortigern's roaring voice echoed across the beast field. He held the Holy Lance Rhongomyniad and rode a magical beast, shouting amidst the tide of beasts.

Shirou stood on the wall, his expression indifferent as he surveyed the wilderness. He called out to Merlin and pointed to Vortigern, saying, "Give him a blast."

Merlin nodded, waving his staff. In an instant, a true Ether Cannon was fired towards Vortigern.

Vortigern waved his Holy Lance, ...

IBHJ Chapter 230

On the coastline, the screams of the sea monsters trapped in the sea of people were incessant. This was the power of the militia system: during peacetime, people engaged in production, but during war, they became soldiers armed with butchering knives.

Upon hearing of the sea monsters' attack on Cornwall, Scathach hurried over to aid in the defense. Even she couldn't help but be shocked when she witnessed the scene before her. While she had seen powerful heroes and armies with many heroe...

IBHJ Chapter 229

Cornwall.

"Lady Guinevere, this is today's food supply report. Please take a look."

"Thank you, Lancelot,"

"Lady Guinevere, this is today's military expenditure. Please take a look."

"Thank you, Geraint."

Even though Guinevere had awakened her fairy side, her desire to leave Cornwall remained strong. However, when Shirou entrusted her with the kingdom, she took the responsibility seriously, despite her mounting frustration with her tasks.

Even during times ...

IBHJ Chapter 228

"I've been summoned back by the king? I understand. I'll leave immediately."

"Gawain, I'm leaving these matters to you. The king has given orders that the captured Saxons can be integrated into the army in small numbers, while the others should be enslaved. It's your responsibility to keep an eye on them, and if any attempt to rebel, they should be killed!"

"Understood, Sir Artoria."

"Please don't address me as 'Sir.' I am just an apprentice knight serving the king, and I do...

IBHJ Chapter 227

Shirou and Arcueid raced northward on Dun Stallion, the wind whipping past them as they made their way to the defensive line. Before Guinevere regained consciousness, Shirou had already instructed Merlin to hasten to the northern defensive line ahead of them.

Merlin's strategic importance lay in his eyes, or more precisely, his Clairvoyance. With the ability to see everything on a global scale, he had a god's eye view - an invaluable asset in times of war. So, Shirou knew he couldn't af...

IBHJ Chapter 226

It is believed that more than 12,000 years ago, the Goddess of Creation was killed by other gods, and her soul was banished to an Imaginary space, never to interfere with the world again.

The gods used the body of the Goddess of Creation to create Heaven and Earth, ushering in the prosperous Age of Gods.

During that era, nature controlled the planet, and the gods held dominion over the world. As a result, the laws of the planet revolved around the "Gods," and the entire planet was...

IBHJ Chapter 225

Shirou felt a wave of dizziness wash over him before he entered Arcueid's dream. Once inside, he took a moment to survey his surroundings.

The night sky was a tapestry of shimmering stars, while his feet stood upon a vast, seemingly endless field of vibrant flowers. In the distance, he spotted a grand and ominous castle, and could just make out faint sounds emanating from its walls.

He looked around but couldn't find Arcueid anywhere. After some thought, he decided to approach the...

IBHJ Chapter 224

The abundance of food that King Arthur enjoyed during the Little Ice Age was a source of great confusion for the other kings, who were puzzled as to how he managed to maintain such a well-stocked supply while others struggled to provide even basic sustenance.

Even Shirou's own knights were at a loss to explain the source of King Arthur's bounty, and the mystery of his ample resources continued to elude them.

Kay and Merlin were among the few who were not puzzled by King Arthur's a...

IBHJ Chapter 223

War had spread across the entire earth, from the southern reaches of Cornwall to the northern expanse of Scotland. No corner of the world was untouched by its reach, and conflict raged on without respite.

In the south, Cornwall valiantly held its ground against Vortigern's forces, while Scathach's army controlled the mountains and forests, launching raids on Caerleon. Farther north, under cover of darkness, Altrouge led her undead army to attack north of the Barton fortress, successfull...

IBHJ Chapter 222

Vortigern felt frustrated. If only Londinium hadn't fallen, or if the Dead Apostles hadn't taken over the central region, with almost seventy percent of the land under his control and wielding the holy lance, there would be nothing on this island that could stop him!

Despite his position and status as a god, Vortigern had been weakened, and his power had been stripped away. As a result, he was unable to directly destroy the fortress ramparts that Shirou had worked so hard to build. Even...

IBHJ Chapter 221

Shirou galloped through the starlit night on his horse, carrying the unconscious Arcueid in his arms. He hurried back to Cornwall along the twisting mountain paths, where the vivid, ever-changing lights from the north were clearly visible despite the mountain terrain.

Upon his return to Cornwall, he found the town engulfed in a tense and oppressive ambiance. Inside the royal palace, officials bustled about, consumed by their tasks.

Merlin, Morgan, and other court magi had already ...

IBHJ Chapter 220

Shirou gazed at the girl submerged in the alchemical container with a calm expression, but his heart churned like waves in a tempest.

There was no mistaking it; the girl in the container was undoubtedly Arcueid. However, wasn't Arcueid supposed to have been created in the 12th century? How could she possibly be here in the 5th century, covered in wounds and suspended in the alchemical container like a mere specimen?
