Arthur's Reality Marble / Saber's Radiance

Before Zouken Matou could finish his sentence, a strong electric current surged through Arthur's fingers, and the intense heat instantly burned Zouken Matou to ashes.

This ancient Monster, who had lived for five hundred years, thus perished.

Arthur did not agree to Zouken Matou's request because this old Monster, who was obsessed with immortality, did not hide anything when his life was threatened.

In his voice, Arthur heard the excitement of grasping at a straw.

That alone is enough.

The reason Arthur made a deal with Kariya Matou was simply for the sake of the Reality Marble.

Zouken Matou is an ancient Monster who has lived for five hundred years, and also a great Magecraft.

Zouken Matou is an ancient Monster who has lived for five hundred years, and also a great Magecraft.

He founded the Matou Family, one of the Three Founding Families, and must have amassed a considerable collection of powerful Magecraft.

Arthur only needed to confirm whether he had collected any methods for cultivating Reality Marble or related Magecraft books.

Although the Matou Family mansion is very large, it's just a waste of time at most.

"Let's go, let's leave this dark place." With a flick of his fingertips, Mana washed away the insect's grime. Arthur took the 'Avalon' scabbard back from Sakura Matou's hand, then picked her up and left the underground chamber.

"Go over there and bring your Uncle Kariya over. I still have some things to finish..." After carrying Sakura Matou to the entrance of the Matou Family mansion, Arthur put her down, reached out and ruffled her purple hair, and said with a smile.

"Hmm..." Sakura Matou looked up at Arthur deeply, recalling the scene from earlier, then nodded and obediently walked in the direction Arthur pointed.

Watching Sakura Matou leave, Arthur turned and returned to the Matou Family mansion.

Just as he was preparing to use Instinct (A) and Observation Haki to search the entire Matou Family mansion.

His steps suddenly stopped, and then Arthur's figure disappeared.

When he reappeared, Arthur was already inside a room.

He was standing on the edge of a large bed, looking at a sleeping little boy.

This boy was none other than Shinji Matou, the son of Kariya Matou brother, one of the participants in the Fifth Holy Grail War.

I recalled information about the little boy in my mind.

A dangerous glint flashed in Arthur's eyes.

Although Zouken Matou is dead, Arthur doesn't know if this little boy will grow up to be like the one in the original story.

But I wanted the world-restoring power in the Haijilanluo Society.

2.2 Let's help them to the end!

So, Arthur raised his hand and reached for Shinji Matou's head.

'Mana Burst (A)--'

'Armament Haki--'

'Sizzle sizzle...'

Arthur's index finger is imbued with three powers, containing the power systems of two worlds.

'Snap--'

With a light flick of his finger, he landed on Shinji Matou's forehead.

For a moment, Shinji Matou's breathing paused slightly, but then returned to normal.

Compared to when it was sound asleep, it now had a bit of saliva at the corner of its mouth, making it look adorably silly.

Seeing this, Arthur left the room and began searching for Zouken Matou's collection.

Chapter 307 Arthur's Reality Marble

It was a quiet night!

In the Archibald Family mansion, the patriarch Kayneth and his fiancée had already left, leaving only Arthur.

Inside the luxuriously decorated room, on the large Sisley bed.

Arthur rested his hands behind his head, crossed one leg over the other with his knees pointing upwards, and breathed evenly. It was unclear whether he was sleeping or resting.

On a cabinet next to him sat a bright fluorescent lamp, its light falling on a book with a black cover.

It's decorated with Magecraft spells and has a timeless feel to it.

'Splash...'

Suddenly, the sound of ocean waves rose in the silent room.

Vast and mighty, like the weeping of the sea.

'Swish--'

At this moment, the environment around the Sissy bed changed slightly.

Daylight replaced the dimly lit room, the luxurious floor became a beach, and a crab walked by.

"..."

Immediately afterwards, the beach setting disappeared, and the room returned to its luxurious state.

It was like a hallucination!

'Crackling sound... Boom! 27 booms!!'

Before long, the sound of the ground collapsing echoed through the room again, and the large Sisley bed appeared as if by spatial teleportation on a gradually collapsing deserted island.

The sky appeared extremely gloomy, with flashes of white light occasionally appearing in the dark clouds, revealing a deep chasm.

It has a very apocalyptic feel to it!

"..."

Just as the ground where the Sisse bed stood was about to collapse, that apocalyptic space shattered once again like a bubble, returning to its luxurious state.

Arthur, lying on the bed, had beads of sweat on his forehead, and his breathing had become rapid instead of even.

"Call..."

The luxurious room underwent two environmental changes, and finally, nothing unusual happened again.

At this moment, Arthur, whose whole body was soaked in sweat, slowly opened his eyes.

He exhaled a breath of stale air, and a rare look of fatigue flashed across his emerald green eyes.

This must be the most exhausting dream he's had since he transmigrated!

Even when I had just transmigrated and was confused about the sea and the flames, the nightmares I had were nothing compared to how tiring it is now.

Because compared to the fear and anxiety of nightmares, Arthur's current dreams consume far more energy than the Great Swordsman's strikes; his spirit, energy, and Mana are being rapidly depleted.

The change in environment just now was not an illusion.

Rather, the space itself is truly changing, and the beach and the crumbling ground are places where Arthur once stayed.

One was the uninhabited island he first ventured to when he was in the East Blue.

The second is the island of 'Decalvan' where he fought Whitebeard.

One was before his rise to power, and the other was before he reached the top.

Both islands left a very deep impression on Arthur's mind.

Therefore, when Arthur successfully found the Magecraft book Reality Marbles in the Matou Family mansion, he materialized these two mental landscapes on his first attempt to enter a dream.

However, compared to the Ionioi Hetairoi of the King of Conquerors, Arthur's Reality Marble was clearly not yet fully developed.

However, the King of Conquerors 'Ionioi Hetairoi is his strongest Noble Phantasm.

However, the King of Conquerors 'Ionioi Hetairoi is his strongest Noble Phantasm.

Arthur's Reality Marble is merely Forbidden Spell Magecraft that materializes a mental landscape.

Arthur didn't know how the Reality Marble was created, whether it was through accidental enlightenment or the effect of unleashing Noble Phantasm.

However, the Magecraft book he obtained from the Matou Family mansion, which contained information about Reality Marbles, was something he had only dreamed of.

Following the method described above, Arthur attempted to enter a dream.

Surprisingly, the first attempt to enter the dream was successful.

Although it is very unstable and consumes an astonishing amount of Mana.

It's different from Shirou Emiya's.

Magecraft books explain that in order to master Reality Marbles, in addition to talent, one also needs corresponding experiences.

Just like the desert that the King of Conquerors once led his army through, that experience left a very deep impression on them.

As Arthur dreamt, scenes of his battles kept flashing through his mind.

Alabasta, Sabaody Archipelago, Marineford, Totto Land, Weilasituodi, Decalvan, Raijin Island, etc...

Those islands left a very deep impression on Arthur.

As a result, it is very difficult for him to form his Reality Marble.

It will probably take a long time to master this skill.

After waking from his dream, Arthur never fell asleep again.

Instead, he turned on the room lights, propped his legs up, leaned against the headboard, and quietly read the Magecraft book containing information about Reality Marble.

'Squeak--'

After an unknown amount of time, Arthur suddenly heard the sound of a door being pushed open.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a small head poked in. The blank, lifeless eyes and the expressionless face made Arthur put down his book and softly ask, "Can't you sleep, Sakura?!"

"Mmm!" Sakura Matou nodded gently and walked in, still wearing her pajamas.

Arthur opened his arms and said to Sakura Matou, "Come here!"

Sakura Matou walked to the edge of the bed and opened her arms to Arthur.

Arthur bent down slightly, picked her up, and placed her beside him.

"Go to sleep!" Arthur said softly, ruffling her purple hair.

"Hmm..." Sakura Matou nodded slightly, shrank into the quilt, clutched Arthur's clothes, and slowly closed her eyes.

Seeing this, Arthur picked up the Magecraft book again and continued reading.

Sakura Matou is here because Kariya Matou entrusted her to Arthur.

Although Arthur removed the Crest Worms from his body, Kariya Matou's body was already on the verge of collapse within a year of the Holy Grail War beginning.

Even if I'm free now, I won't live for more than a few years.

Zouken Matou is dead, so his dream of saving Sakura can be considered fulfilled.

However, he feared dying before the girl grew up and being sought out by other Masters, so after much deliberation, he entrusted Sakura Matou to Arthur, Servant.

Hopefully, he can protect this girl before the Holy Grail War.

If Kariya Matou doesn't die after the Holy Grail War ends, then he will come to take Sakura Matou back.

If she dies, then hopefully Arthur can send the girl to a nursery, or ask Arthur's Master to adopt her.

Sakura Matou possesses exceptional Magecraft talent!

After some consideration, Arthur agreed.

Chapter 308 Saber's Glory

"Um?!"

It was a pitch-black night, and it was impossible to tell whether it was midnight or early morning.

At this time, Fuyuki City, which should have been quiet, was instead in an uproar.
