Legend Reborn / The Last Trump Card

"While it can't compare to the final blessing of the Age of Gods, it will give you enough Mana to fully utilize your Reality Marble."

With those words, Rongomyniad turned and left, returning to her glorious throne.

Rhongomyniad, Anchor Up.

A massive earthquake shook the earth, and the entire Holy City began to rise into the sky—no... this was not the Holy City.

The refugees gathered outside the Holy City could see it clearly: the so-called Holy City was nothing more than the shaft of a giant lance; beneath this Holy City lay a massive lance barrel, which was the true form of Rongomyniad.

"Fight for me, my Knight!"

"As you wish, my lady."

Fujimaru Kyoya stood guard on the path leading to the throne, still refusing to address Rongomyniad as "King," for that would create too much distance between them.

Rongomyniad wasn't angry. Instead, she released beams of light to isolate the inside from the outside. What she was about to do couldn't be disturbed by anyone, and Fujimaru Kyoya was her best defensive barrier.

"Ritsuka, come before me. This is your last chance."

Fujimaru Kyoya leaned against the wall, seemingly resting, but his steady, powerful breathing conveyed a power that could destroy everything at any moment.

He was preparing to give his sister one last test.

Regarding the addition of rewards, and a few settings.

As the title says, I didn't expect everyone to be so supportive, and I jumped from fourth to first place in monthly votes in no time. Originally, I just wanted to get into the top three.

But we're already in first place, so it would feel a bit stingy to keep it the same. So I'm adding a little extra reward. Before, the top three this month would get an extra 10 chapters, but if we come in first this month, then... thirteen chapters, I really can't give that much more, I feel like I'm going to die from exhaustion.

Thank you all for your support.

I've also been observing the comments section of the posts these past few days, and I've seen everyone's feedback.

The main issue lately is why the protagonist doesn't kill the King of Lions but instead targets his own sister; this seems illogical.

In fact, I also provided some explanations in today's updated chapter. It's just that after the protagonist's position changed from "child" to "adult," he strongly resisted his younger sister taking on such a task. After all, he wasn't dead, so why should his sister do such a dangerous thing?

As for more details, my main goal is to develop the character of Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was once "me".

That short sword is really...

This part of the story is actually about the ideological conflict between the siblings, and the story of the transformation of the "I" of the past. It's also a bit of a personal desire to make this person named Fujimaru Ritsuka stronger, instead of just a camera.

These stories will all be completed in the updates over the next two days, at which point everyone will be able to make a final judgment on whether this chapter is good or bad.

I hope everyone will read to the end of this chapter.

Thank you everyone.

Chapter 136 The Legend Returns

"Is that what the Holy City truly looks like?"

As Fujimaru Ritsuka watched the enormous lance soar into the sky, even from a distance, she could sense the immense Mana emanating from it.

"Hmph~ Although it's barely passable, it's nothing compared to my Temple of Grand Radiance."

Ramesses II's previous reluctance to wage war against the Holy City was not out of fear, but rather because he did not want to waste his precious Mana on a meaningless war.

After all, while Rongomyniad's decision wasn't exactly correct, it wasn't a "wrong" path either.

Now that he has made up his mind to fight for that last glimmer of hope, there is nothing left to hesitate about.

"Witness the Pharaoh's divine might!"

Azure lightning began to gather at the top of the temple, and the Dendera Electric Ball, whose power was comparable to Anti-City Noble Phantasm, shot out and struck the Holy City that was floating in the air.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar followed, accompanied by powerful gusts of air, but no one smiled, for the attack had been completely ineffective.

"This Rhongomyniad is the anchor of a storm, bridging reality and fantasy; its strength cannot be destroyed by an attack of this magnitude."

The Old Man of the Mountain also understood how troublesome this Holy City was; even he could not sneak in undetected.

"I naturally know about such trivial matters."

Upon seeing the changes in the Holy City, Ramesses II realized that now was not the time for arguments, so he immediately raised the entire Temple of Grand Radiance into the sky and crashed it into the Holy City.

"Everyone, prepare to land."

Ramesses II's smile remained arrogant and confident. Even the Storm Anchor could not withstand the self-destruction of his Temple of Grand Radiance unscathed, which was enough for him to break through the Holy City's defenses and allow them to enter.

Even if such a move would shatter his best home court.

Since the future has been staked on Chaldea, the personal success or failure of Ramesses II is meaningless.

Fujimaru Ritsuka, let the all-powerful Pharaoh see if you can present a future that will surprise everyone.

They've arrived.

It was almost imperceptible; anyone who wasn't blind could see a massive group of Egypt tombs hurtling towards the Holy City.

"Boom!"

This time was different from before. With the explosion of the entire Temple of Grand Radiance, a large hole appeared in the Holy City's defenses, allowing many people to enter the Holy City.

The Knights of the Round Table and the Purification Knights were all mobilized.

According to the original plan, Gawain was to intercept the Old Man of the Mountain, Agravain was to deal with Lancelot, and the Purification Knights were to eliminate the troublesome Hassan. So, who Fujimaru Kyoya to deal with?

The Chaldea group, Ramesses II without Reality Marble, the Sanzang Master, Vortigern...

"This battle is much more difficult than the last one."

Fujimaru Kyoya said with emotion.

This lineup is far stronger than the Knights of the Round Table from back then, but he still has to face it. He must clear all obstacles in exchange for a chance to meet humanity's last Master face to face.

Is it difficult? It's incredibly difficult, but it's something that must be done.

"Roar~"

A dragon's roar resounded, and the figure of a White Dragon soared into the sky. At the same time, a majestic Pharaoh rode a Sphinx toward the central area.

"Where is the King of Lions? Has he sensed my arrival and dared not look directly at the sun's majestic light?"

Ramesses II sensed that Rongomyniad was behind Fujimaru Kyoya, but the other man refused to come out, which made him uneasy.

"Lloyd, this moment is just like that moment back then."

Vortigern watched Lloyd, still single-handedly holding off numerous powerful opponents with his sword, he couldn't help but recall that rainy night before his death.

But at this moment, he had gone from being a comrade-in-arms to an enemy, and in the very moment they were talking, more and more people were rushing toward this place.

Dark clouds gathered, and as each Servant arrived, an increasingly oppressive atmosphere began to permeate the air, a mixture of killing intent and fighting spirit that was enough to make ordinary people forget to breathe.

"Senior, would you like to...?"

"This is the safest place for Mash."

Fujimaru Ritsuka ignored Mash's advice to stay away from this place. This was the only way before the final challenge, and she could neither escape nor avoid it.

"Boom!"

Just as Fujimaru Ritsuka finished speaking, a thunderclap boomed in the sky, as if in anger at Fujimaru Ritsuka's overestimation of his abilities, and at the same time, rain began to fall.

Is everyone here?

Fujimaru Kyoya looked at the enemies before him. The reason they hadn't swarmed him yet was clearly because they felt victory was in their grasp and hoped he would surrender obediently.

"I'm in a hurry, so can you all come together?"

The falling rain carried a fierce killing intent, and the once sacred city was suddenly transformed into an extremely dilapidated place.

As for the path to the throne that Fujimaru Kyoya had been guarding behind him, it had vanished without a trace, replaced by a towering tree.

Dark clouds obscured the sunlight; the only light in this world came from this Golden Tree and its shimmering fallen leaves.

The battle has begun.

Vortigern was the first to react. He knew full well how powerful this rainy night was, but he still underestimated Fujimaru Kyoya's strength.

As Fujimaru Kyoya brandished his longsword, the rain responded, transforming into blades and birds to either injure enemies or cause harassment. Without the constraints of Mana consumption or the limitations of life, the raindrops ceased to fall.

Just how strong Fujimaru Kyoya at this moment was a question he himself didn't know.

The wind howls in the wilderness, and the cry of cranes echoes across the heavens and earth.

Few Servant as prepared as Vortigern; most others were injured to varying degrees immediately. Their blood was swallowed by the water birds, which transformed into bright red "eyes" that stared intently at them.

"You scoundrel, you actually damaged the Pharaoh's body!"

Ramesses II was furious. He was caught off guard by the attack and was inevitably injured. Although it was just a minor cut and a little blood, such an injury was enough to humiliate Pharaoh.

The Sphinx seemed to sense its master's anger and immediately gathered its Mana Fujimaru Kyoya's location. However, Fujimaru Kyoya didn't even bother to look at those things and simply shattered the attack with a backhand sword strike.

"First of all, the very first."

Fujimaru Kyoya moved, taking steps in the cold rain as he attacked his first target.

"As expected."

The cold blade pierced through her body, but Da Vinci gripped it with her enormous prosthetic arm. She was currently the weakest Servant; how could she not know she was about to be attacked?

Da Vinci infused her prosthetic arm with Mana, determined to teach those before her a profound lesson even in her departure.

"Self-Destruct? How boring."

Yeah, it's boring.

This world is utterly boring.

Fujimaru Kyoya thought this, the surrounding water began to converge towards him.

Chapter 137 The Final Assassin Card

It exploded.

Da Vinci was never Servant skilled in combat; logistical analysis was her forte. Now, all she could do was Self-Destruct.

"Boom!"

An explosion rang out, and with the disappearance of Da Vinci's Spirit Origin reaction, it meant that the Servant was dead. However, this did not put people at ease, because the aura of another Spiritual Qi within the smoke and dust had not weakened at all.

"This is my Reality Marble. It not only gave me the best timing and location, but also raised all my abilities to a higher level. This kind of attack is still not enough to defeat me."

If Fujimaru Kyoya remembered correctly, Lloyd's durability was already at the A+ level under normal conditions, and under the effect of the Reality Marble, it reached a terrifying A++ level.

Da Vinci's spirit of Self-Destruct is commendable, but ultimately, it's just that kind of thing.

"The second one."

Fujimaru Kyoya did not hesitate and charged toward his second target— Vortigern.

Despite his strength, Vortigern, with his powerful anti-dragon attribute, was no match for Fujimaru Kyoya. More importantly, his Rhongomyniad was not available at the moment, so he could only rely on the powerful strength of the Dragon Kind to fight back.

That's really bad luck.

A beam of light, a confluence of arrows and Mana, hurtled towards them. The Sanzang Monk, wielding his Nine-Ringed Staff, seemed poised to transform into a violent monk at any moment.

They could easily see that Fujimaru Kyoya intended to balance the strength of both sides by defeating them one by one.

Even with the blessing of the Reality Marble, facing so many top-tier Servant at once is clearly unrealistic; defeating them one by one is the only way.

Moreover, this attack method has another advantage: Servant with AoE Noble Phantasm will be hesitant to use it for the sake of avoiding friendly fire.

Unfortunately, these disturbances were meaningless. Within the Reality Marble, the rain falling from the sky was the best defense. Furthermore, Fujimaru Kyoya was able to raise his agility to a terrifying A++ level. Very few Servant could surpass this level, and even those who could were Rider-class Servants using their mounts' speed.

In that situation, he could indeed surpass Fujimaru Kyoya in pure speed, but in a more agile combat situation, he was no match for Fujimaru Kyoya at all.

Vortigern his dragon wings, trying to fly into the sky and create distance, but the rain gathered together and turned into lances that pierced his wings, attempting to pin him to the ground.

"Anti-Dragon Special Attack?"

Vortigern looked at the lances formed by the rainwater. Even though dragon wings weren't particularly tough, there was no other way to penetrate them except with special attacks.

Even with such power to control rain, Vortigern was even less willing to engage in close combat with Fujimaru Kyoya. He completely abandoned his human form, transformed into a White Dragon, broke free of all restraints, and flew into the sky.

He hadn't changed into his dragon form before because it would make him too conspicuous and give him no advantage against an agile Knight like Fujimaru Kyoya.
