IBHJ Chapter 96

"ROA!!!!"

The air was filled with a voice dripping with malice, as if it had been summoned straight from the depths of hell.

Shirou's body radiated evil energy as he brought his two massive, jagged arms crashing down towards Arcueid.

However, in the next instant, two similar giant hands mysteriously appeared on either side of Arcueid, blocking Shirou's attack.

'Marble Phantasm! It's Arcueid, all right!'

As black mud churned in his belly, he extended a huge hand a...

On April 9th, 1994, Shirou kept his promise to Ilya and took her for a walk. As they strolled, Ilya was busy doodling in her notebook, capturing every experience they had in Fuyuki City.

Suddenly, a voice caught Shirou's attention. He turned to see Shinji, a blue-haired boy, sitting on a red bench and waving at him from the bed of a small truck. 

In the driver's seat was a young man with a similar appearance, holding a cheap cigarette in his mouth and giving off the impressio...

Even though Shirou didn't get any information from the Executors, there was no need to be concerned. Their enemies were merely Dead Apostles, after all.

And among the Dead Apostles, the one that posed the biggest threat to Shirou was probably Primate Murder. But there was no need to worry. According to a rule in the Nasuverse, "Tsukihime" can exist without "Fate" and vice versa.

In the world of "Fate", the dead are all weakened, and the entity known as Primate Murder was believed ...

As the sun began to set, Shirou gathered his things, ready to leave. Kiritsugu walked up to him and asked, "Do you plan on conducting an investigation tonight?"

Shirou responded with a faint smile, avoiding a direct answer. "This is my hometown. Besides, I'm now the second-tallest person in Fuyuki City."

He said goodbye to Kiritsugu and Ilya and stepped into a nearby phone booth to call home. He told his family he was heading to his teacher's house to study and would return later....

In the realm of darkness known as the land of shadows, a red spear appeared like a meteor and struck Shirou. With a sudden movement, a black hand reached out from behind him and deftly caught the spear.

Scathach took hold of the weapon and said, "Shirou, shake off the mud. It won't serve as proper training if you don't."

Shirou, unable to do anything about it, responded with a hint of helplessness, "That's because every time I enter, my shisho creeps up on me. It's enough to give ...

Shirou approached Ilya, his face filled with worry. "Are you okay? Did you get hurt?"

Ilya's eyes welled up with tears as she turned to face him. "No, I'm fine," she whispered in a small voice.

Despite her assurances, it was evident that she was still shaken. Shirou reached into his backpack and produced a box of bean paste dumplings, hoping to provide some comfort. "Here, have these. They're delicious,"

Ilya's eyes lit up at the sight of the dumplings, and she looked up at ...

The 5th century CE was a time of great unrest in the island of Britannia. The West Roman Empire on the mainland was facing continuous uprisings and foreign invasions, with the Gaul's Bagaudae Movement and the North African's Agonistes Movement destabilizing the empire's regime. This turmoil spilled over to Britannia, causing the decline of its forces under imperial protection and attracting a dangerous foreign enemy in the form of the Saxons.

Britannia was home to a diverse range of eth...

The Grail crystal's immense magical power was in full effect, causing the boundary between life and death to reverse.

The sky, shrouded in a thick veil of black mist, was penetrated by the faint sunlight, casting a faint golden hue on the desolate earth below.

Having spent 200 years' worth of magical energy in one go, Shirou's magical energy was still growing, though not as impressively as before. Where his magical energy once felt like an endless ocean, now it was reduced to a sm...

The Stone Giant then took out countless Noble Phantasms and bombarded Shirou. 

It then retrieved the giant sword that had previously suppressed Spartacus from the Gate of Babylon, using only its one arm.

Its name was Ig-Alima, the Green Field Cutting Through the Thousand Mountains. With Ig-Alima in hand, even a thousand mountains could be cut and leveled. It was a massive, divine sword of great length!

Shirou directly replicated the sword, holding one in each hand. And ...

"Who would have thought that there's still mud left," Shirou raised his eyebrows in surprise as he gazed at the black mud slowly enveloping Gilgamesh.

He had thought that all the mud had entered into his body, but he was surprised to see that there was still some left on Gilgamesh..

Indeed, this is the evil that Gilgamesh carried when he first encountered all the world's evil. Allowing his spiritual form to experience the essence of flesh.

"What exactly happened in Fuyuki City?" The captain of the Self-Defense Fleet stood on the deck, gazing at the distant mountains through his binoculars.

Since receiving the orders, the captain had been leading his fleet toward Fuyuki City. Intelligence reports indicated that a giant, similar to those of mythological tales, had emerged there. The captain initially believed that the individuals with superhuman abilities in the country were causing chaos and thus he brought weapons to rest...

The flames blazed on relentlessly, devouring all that lay in their path. Miyama, once a proud and traditional town, was reduced to ashes and obliterated by the ferocious inferno. The carnage was truly a spectacle to behold, a final, magnificent display akin to a grand fireworks show, signifying the end of an era.

"Boom--"

A deafening explosion rocked the surroundings, but Tokiomi remained stoic, gazing blankly at the stump on his arm where his hand used to be. His hand had been se...

People were sharing their tales, but few were willing to listen to the stories of others. No one offered a shoulder to lean on, no one was interested in hearing their troubles. The harsh reality had smothered their sorrows, their pain, their hopelessness, and locked it away deep in their hearts, like a cloud of forgotten dust.

Rage, envy, wrath... all the malevolent emotions lingered on. Words became sharp instruments of harm, capable of causing injury even from those with gentle hearts...

Shirou raised his hand slowly and aimed Caliburn at Artoria. "Come, I'm here, waiting for you. Don't even think about using your Noble Phantasm. You can't hope to defeat me."

"---!!!"

Artoria gripped her sword tightly, her previously cold and indifferent eyes now blazing with anger. She perceived Shirou's words as a challenge, but in reality, he merely wanted to awaken her.

Language, even when spoken from the warmest of hearts, can still tear everything apart. Yet, that was ...

With a swift "shua!" Artoria swung her black sword towards the sky. The sound of eight continuous cracks echoed as the black beam hacks down all eight black hands.

"Ba ta ba ta" The hands and the giant sword hit the ground, creating a series of vibrating sounds.

Shirou frowned and used his Projection to unleash 128 sharp swords toward Artoria. She responded by swinging her sword, summoning a dark and powerful storm of energy.

But before she could unleas...

"The necessary subjugation." Waver thought to himself as he gazed out at the vast army before him. He was determined to win this battle, for it was the journey assigned to him by the king himself. The king had finally ignited his own desires, and Waver was not going to let him down. "Absolutely can't lose!" he thought with conviction.

Waver had to tell the king about his surging emotions and his ambition to rush toward the other side of the dream. He turned to Hephaestion. "How many tro...

Shirou soared towards the source of the dark beam. The destination of his flight was the Church, the very place where the Grail was housed.

"Hmm?"

He raised an eyebrow as he gazed at the Church, which was pulsing with intense black light. His pitch-black wings flapped behind him, and he angled his flight towards the side.

In an instant, the intense black light exploded. A massive black beam shot upward from the ground, stretching toward the sky.

Shirou watched as Diarmuid faded away, then he turned to face Kayneth.

"Do you want me dead?" Kayneth asked, his voice laced with curiosity.

"You've tried to kill me twice using Diarmuid," Shirou replied. "Can you explain why? I may have been weak at the time, but there was no need for you to single me out and ignore other Masters, was there?"

Kayneth responded, "The success of my attempts to eliminate you is of no importance. The Holy Grail War lost its significance for me ...

We're going to die!

Waver, who once spoke politely to his professor just like a gentleman, now fled in embarrassment and was relying solely on his professor's Volumen Hydrargyrum for survival.

They rode on Iskandar's horse, fleeing from the outskirts of town to Miyama. However, the black-clad Lancer pursuing them were relentless, like shadows.

"Stop! I won't let you hurt my Sola again!" Kayneth cried out as he used the Volumen Hydrargyrum to attack Diarmuid.

Shirou's eyes opened and he was brought back to reality. He scanned his surroundings, but Gilgamesh was nowhere to be found. Suddenly, he heard a weak voice calling out to him.

"Shirou...!"

He turned to see Scathach lying on the ground, only half of her body visible. Despite her weakened state, she was looking at him with a joyful expression.

He rushed over to her side, taking her hand and offering her his magical energy. "Shisho, are you already at your limit?"

"Where am I?"

Shirou wondered as he gazed around the unfamiliar and unsettling surroundings. The black soil beneath him rolled like waves on the sea, while hills comprised of withered bodies littered the landscape, slowly sinking into the black waters.

The sky was a blood-red hue, dominated by a black sun, while the wind carried with it a curse and lament. This place was, without a doubt, hell itself.

He struggled to remember how he ended up here until it all came back to hi...

"What's happening here?" Kiritsugu muttered, his expression showing confusion.

It was 6:37, and the sun should have already risen above the horizon, even though it was autumn. However, there was no sign of the sun. Instead, the sky remained pitch-black, like a heavy curtain, and the atmosphere was oppressive.

Something incredibly strange had occurred at the church - a towering black structure had appeared. Just one glance at it was suffocating.

The city was already in turmoi...

Scathach and Shirou reached the Ryuudou Temple. As they approached the mountain temple, Shirou asked, "Is this the completely safe place shisho talked about? Is the floor tile here especially sturdy?"

Scathach shook her head. "That's not it. This isn't the time for jokes. And you wouldn't joke at a time like this anyway."

He smiled. "A great hero lives in my heart, and I won't be easily swayed anymore."

She was taken aback as she turned to look at Shirou, staring at his plai...

By the riverbank in the Miyama district, Shirou had escaped and everyone slowly dispersed from the scene. Kiritsugu had intended to target Waver, but Iriviel's presence on Iskandar's side made it risky. Despite Iskandar's righteous demeanor, Kiritsugu couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't harm Iriviel. Kiritsugu, always prepared for the worst, chose to abandon his plan temporarily.

Shirou noticed a change within himself. He felt as though the power of the Saint Graph had merged with his beliefs, drawing upon an unseen vortex to form the power of his own destiny.

He checked his status panel and realized that the Grail War was the source of this transformation.

Utilizing his last Command Seals, Shirou conjured a colossal sword by means of Projection, an act that demanded an enormous amount of magical energy.

Propelled by a surge of magical force, Shirou took to the air and rocketed towards the remnants of Spartacus.
