Those Who Make Their Mark in History Must Be Exceptional / The Ship of Radiance

They all understood that the only thing the Servant could do was delay the Demon God Pillar; it was impossible to completely kill it and then come to support their Master.

"Didn't you have someone transfer the Command Seal to you? That would give you a much higher chance of winning."

Solomon looked at Fujimaru Kyoya, who didn't have a single Command Seal in his hand. This practically meant that the only Pseudo-Servant.

Failure means the end.

"They also need Command Seal. If a real crisis occurs, they can use Command Seal to pull the Servant into this area to ensure their safety."

Fujimaru Kyoya understood perfectly well that he could make the other party hand over the Command Seal to him, which was undoubtedly the most "correct" thing to do. However, this ruthless "correctness" was based on harming the interests of others.

I would not pluck a single hair to benefit the world.

This has always been Fujimaru Kyoya's style of doing things. The weight of the world is not much different from the weight of a person. He cannot infringe on the interests of any one person for the sake of the world's safety.

"Innocent."

Solomon commented that in the instant of their conversation, he dodged the gleaming silver spearhead again. Clearly, his enemy had witnessed his martial arts skills and would not allow the distance between them to get too close, nor too far.

Even at that distance, Solomon could unleash his Magecraft.

High-Speed Divine Words is a technique that can greatly shorten the time of chanting spells. In the age of Age of Gods, this was a standard skill for any famous Magecraft, but Solomon did not have this ability.

Because he doesn't need it.

Magecraft spells rained down on Solomon as they hurtled towards Fujimaru Kyoya, but at that close range, they missed their Magecraft.

Protection from Arrows?

Since Cú Chulainn also possessed this ability, Solomon immediately considered this possibility, but then dismissed it himself, reasoning that at such close range, even with protection, it shouldn't fail.

At the same time, a flash of blood appeared on Solomon's cheek. If he hadn't dodged with all his might, his head might have been pierced through.

Something's not right. Something's starting to feel increasingly off.

Solomon couldn't possibly have misjudged the person so close to him, and he should have been able to defend against the attack just now.

The defense that should have been perfect was breached, and the attack that should have hit its mark missed.

Could it be that...

Solomon braced himself and unleashed a Mana blade in a horizontal slash to test the waters, but Fujimaru Kyoya dodged it and then thrust his spear at him.

"Bang!"

The hastily constructed Barrier was utterly incapable of defending against the attack, and Solomon's arm was slashed open with a huge wound, from which blood flowed uncontrollably.

Fujimaru Kyoya had the upper hand, but he wasn't happy.

That attack shouldn't have succeeded so easily; the opponent was perfectly capable of dodging it.

"As expected, the secret lies hidden in the mist, and the distance seems to be... an inch."

Solomon was spouting nonsensical words, but Fujimaru Kyoya could only secretly admire Solomon's extraordinary wisdom. In that turbulent era, many people never saw through the secret of Zhao Yun's single-handed victory over five thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry until their deaths, but now, after only a brief exchange, he understood it perfectly.

"The mist in the air is refracting light, so your actual location isn't where I see you, but rather an inch to the left."

Solomon pointed to a spot an inch to the left, which was where Fujimaru Kyoya's true location was.

Humans can see objects entirely because of their eyes, which are ultimately just organs that receive light. Anything that can affect light can affect the eyes.

This skill allowed Fujimaru Kyoya that war-torn era.

Manipulating light to make one's image appear distorted in the enemy's eyes is nothing more than a simple mirage technique.

If it weren't for the concern that it would be too incongruous and make him easily recognizable, Fujimaru Kyoya could even make himself appear behind the enemy.

But what good did Solomon's understanding do?

The one-inch mark is not fixed; this mist is also part of Fujimaru Kyoya's Noble Phantasm "Cloud Dragon Chant," and it will not be easily dispersed by Magecraft. However, Fujimaru Kyoya knows an even simpler way to break it.

One after another, magic arrays unfolded in the air, almost blocking all possible routes for Fujimaru Kyoya dodge. Such an attack was quite taxing for Solomon, but with the Command Seal replenishing his strength, he was fearless.

Complete Magecraft coverage, annihilation.

There was absolutely no room to dodge. Fujimaru Kyoya's "First Before First" had already given him the answer. However, according to the "Ghost Brain's" calculations, the timing of these Magecraft spells was not uniform. There was even a "huge" interval of 0.3 seconds between the fastest and slowest Magic Bullet.

That should be enough.

The Flowing Water Sword, Flowing Cloud Spear, clashed together, causing the mist to "boil" even more fiercely.

Solomon's blockade was perfect; once those beams of light fell, Fujimaru Kyoya would have no choice but to take them head-on. However, this "perfection" was the sum of all the attacks, just like the previous collaboration between Fujimaru Kyoya and Artoria.

When they are together, they are "perfect"; once separated, they are no longer perfect. This "perfection" has a 0.3-second interval. Can Fujimaru Kyoya grasp that 0.3 seconds?

This was a one in ten thousand chance, but even with only a one in ten thousand chance, Fujimaru Kyoya was determined to seize it.

The gun and sword seemed to come alive in Fujimaru Kyoya's hands, and the mist "delayed" the Magecraft's composition, increasing the original 0.3-second interval to 0.5 seconds.

It was a dazzling display of swords and spears. The perfect trap that Solomon had constructed at this moment, which he had spent most of his Mana on, was perfectly dismantled by Fujimaru Kyoya if unraveling a mystery.

"That's really impressive. If we had helped them from outside, our chances of winning might have been much higher."

Solomon's Command Seal shone brightly as he transferred his remaining Mana to the Demon God Pillar, then used the Command Seal to restore himself to his peak condition.

He also highly praised the enemy's skills.

"Is that so? I do think it's much easier to take down one than more than ten."

"But is it really okay for you to use mist like this? I haven't intentionally hidden my Assassin identity."

Solomon glanced to the side; Jack the Ripper, the killer of the foggy night, finally had a suitable battleground.

Chapter 181 Those who leave their mark on history must possess extraordinary abilities.

As Solomon said, while the fog created by Fujimaru Kyoya wasn't so thick that it obscured vision, it was the perfect battlefield for Jack the Ripper.

The use of mist was not unique to Fujimaru Kyoya; despite the mist not being particularly thick, it provided Jack the Ripper with a natural barrier.

Rays of light, like rainbows, shot out from Tohsaka Rin's Jewel Sword. While their power couldn't compare to an anti-army level beam cannon, it was still enough to deal with Servant relatively low stats like Jack. However...

"This thing is so fast, is she using this fog?"

Tohsaka Rin is, after all, still a human. Even though her physical abilities are stronger than those of an average Magecraft, and she also has a replica of the Jewel Sword, it's still a bit difficult for her to keep up with the speed of a Servant.

"Not only that, this guy's dagger seems to deal more damage to us. Is it Servant's special attack attribute?"

Bazett had more combat experience and his physical skills far surpassed those of Tohsaka Rin, so he naturally realized that Jack's attacks were far more troublesome than he had imagined.

The powerful Magecraft was ineffective, and the enemy possessed abilities even more effective against them; their situation was utterly dire.

"Da da da da~"

On another battlefield, bursts of gunfire rang out. Shinji Matou, having mastered the "AK47 Ripple Dash" technique on his own, began firing at Marisbury.

Of course, this didn't have any effect.

"What barbaric things."

Marisbury had already prepared Barrier to isolate himself from all gunfire. While technology is convenient, it is also so convenient that it makes people lose their sense of awe.

Without reverence, humanity grows increasingly arrogant, and this arrogance will eventually lead to its destruction. In particular, the advent of nuclear weapons makes Marisbury very uneasy.

This is not only because science has the ability to counter Magecraft, but also because such weapons could very well lead to the destruction of humanity.

This sense of crisis reached its peak during the Cold War in the last century, which also made Marisbury eager to build "Chaldea".

Chaldea is an observatory, an institution used to predict the future of humanity by simulating Earth's environment to predict events a hundred years in the future.

If civilization were to perish a century from now, such an institution would provide humanity with an opportunity to change the future. Such an institution is extremely important and must be established.

As for those who are trying to stop me, I might as well kill them.

"My heart and actions are as clear as a mirror; everything I do is righteous."

The Magic Bullet shot out like stars; it was a secret technique of Department of Astrology, a magic trick that used bullets condensed from Mana to simulate the stars in the sky, thus multiplying the Magecraft of the Magic Bullet.

Clearly, such an attack was something that Shinji Matou and Emiya Shirou could not withstand head-on.

The relentless barrage of attacks seemed endless, but fortunately, Emiya Shirou had copied a considerable amount of Gil's treasure trove over the past few days, including many weapons that could be used now.

Projection, begin.

A magnificent shield appeared before Emiya Shirou, blocking the Magic Bullet attack. Although Gil had a better shield in his treasury, he still intended to conserve his Mana.

After all, Artoria is still fighting outside, and we can't cause her any trouble.

"This is the Lord?"

Emiya Shirou initially thought that preparing a rocket launcher was an exaggeration, but now it seems that these so-called Lord are really not to be underestimated.

"Shirou, can the Imaginary Numbers break through his defenses?"

"Yes, but it will take some time to prepare."

The attacks were too intense at the moment; if given some time to prepare, it would indeed be possible to break through the defenses.

"Then seize the opportunity."

Shinji Matou rummaged inside his coat, then pulled down the tab and threw it outside.

What √?

Marisbury didn't understand what the other party had thrown; he figured he could just smash it to pieces.

He locked his gaze on that thing, and then... his dog eye went blind.

A blinding flash of light came from behind; Shinji Matou had thrown a flashbang. In this society where money could buy almost anything, Shinji Matou could get anything with money.

It's just a flashbang, nothing special.

Now I can finally translate what this Clock Tower Lord all about – what the hell is this surprise?

"Boom!"

Explosions echoed in the distance, stirring up the mist. On the very heart of the battlefield, Fujimaru Kyoya continued to press Solomon relentlessly, determined not to give him any chance to unleash a wide-range Magecraft.

"It seems your Master had a problem first."

This result didn't mention Solomon, and Fujimaru Kyoya was a bit surprised. The combination of Tohsaka Rin and Bazett should have been more than capable of handling Assassin.

But now it seems that the two of them are in a tough battle, while Shirou and Shinji have made some progress.

So, Magecraft is no longer suitable for this version?

"The advancement of technology is no longer something anyone can underestimate. Marisbury simply didn't have the right mindset. If he can learn from his mistakes, he has no reason to lose."

Solomon wasn't too concerned about his Master's condition, even though his Master had just been hit by an Imaginary Numbers.

After all, Marisbury wouldn't be instantly killed by a single shot, and the battle on Jack's side wouldn't end quickly either. Solomon wouldn't be able to deal with the person in front of him for the time being, but the Servant outside were having a tough time.

Even with a powerful Servant like Gil, facing an enemy whose numbers are many times greater than one's own would be extremely difficult.

"The Black Mud is merely a means for Servant to enter this area. As long as I eliminate those Servant, I can arrange for the Demon God Pillar to enter here, and then it will still be my victory."

Solomon spoke calmly, after all, Jason was hardly a combatant; the combat strength of the two sides was Twenty-Four Demon God Pillars against three Servant.

The advantage lies with me.

Although Solomon shared similar ideas with a certain transport captain, he was acting based on reality rather than resorting to desperate measures like that bald man.

"Don't underestimate the Servant; they are all people who have left their mark on history, and they must have extraordinary abilities to achieve this."

Those who leave their mark on history must possess extraordinary abilities, a fact that Fujimaru Kyoya already understood.

Xiahou En, the "Sword God" who was ridiculed at Changbanpo back then, could be sensed by Fujimaru Kyoya in just one encounter, as well as his courage and loyalty in the face of death.

Are the heroes whose adventures deserve such extensive coverage simply ordinary, unremarkable people?

Jason, it's time for you to shine your light and warmth.

Chapter 182 The Radiant Ship 35/102

"Boom!"

A Mana Beam pierced through the air, the powerful Mana condensing within the matter before exploding with a deafening roar. Such an attack was not something that even Demon God Pillar could easily unleash, yet it was being used without any restraint.

Solomon has given them too much Mana. Even if they run out of Mana, they can go to Solomon for more. After all, they still have six Command Seal, enough for them to squander for a long time.

While Gil was able to use the Gate of Babylon to entangle with him, the others were not so lucky.
