Unlimited Blade Works

"See? Lefia is incredibly reliable now. Unlike someone, who becomes useless at crucial moments!"

Knowing Tiona was mocking his Super Illusionary Collapse for failing to activate properly, Shirou Emiya could only say helplessly, "So it's my fault for being too strong?"

"Hahaha!"

Hearing their jokes, everyone couldn't help laughing.

The monsters pressing in had been swept away, and the grave situation had been resolved. Everyone's mood finally relaxed.

Facing the greatest contributor to this battle, everyone spared no praise, showering it all upon Lefia.

For a while, Lefia became shy again.

Looking at everyone's relaxed smiles, Shirou Emiya couldn't help chuckling as well.

But just then, he suddenly noticed that Finn was still frowning, apparently deep in thought.

"What's wrong, Finn?"

"Before we fled into this room, when we were almost caught in a pincer attack, the monsters came from ahead. That route leads to the regular path to the fiftieth floor!"

Hearing Finn's words, scene after scene suddenly surfaced in Shirou Emiya's mind.

They were memories of the Loki Familia being attacked.

"We have to hurry back. The camp may be in trouble!"

After lightly licking his thumb, Finn immediately said, "Gather everyone. We're leaving at once!"

Deep in the Dungeon.

The fiftieth and fifty-first floors were connected by sloping rock walls.

There was a huge hole in the wall at the western end of the fiftieth floor. Inside it was a slope steep enough to be called a cliff.

Although reaching the fifty-first floor only required walking downward, climbing back up still took some effort.

The yellow-green liquid constantly flowing through the passage filled everyone with a sense of danger.

They all knew that the camp had probably already come under attack by the New Species.

With all the elites deployed and the camp left empty, the Loki Familia members without indestructible weapons were likely in grave danger.

Anxiousness lingered around everyone.

Running at full speed, they soon reached the end of the fifty-first floor.

As they burst out of the great cavern, human screams and sharp explosions rang out without pause.

Without Finn's command, many Loki Familia members were only Level 3. Monsters like these were simply beyond their ability to handle.

Looking at the black smoke rising from the camp, Shirou Emiya was angrier than ever before.

Although he had not been in the Loki Familia for long, he had experienced a long-lost warmth here.

It felt like home.

And he would never forgive anyone who tried to harm his family.

Watching the monsters crawl up the rock wall toward the camp, Shirou Emiya ran forward rapidly and shouted, "I'm coming!"

[My body is made of sword]

[My blood is steel, and my heart is glass]

[I have weathered countless battlefields without defeat]

[Yet though I never suffered defeat]

[I never once achieved victory]

Hearing Shirou Emiya's chant, everyone running beside him couldn't help looking surprised.

Although Shirou Emiya often used a magic spell called 'Projection,' no one knew the true nature of his magic.

Only the knowledgeable Loki revealed a proud smile upon seeing 'Reality Marble.'

"That's a miracle of magic!"

Loki declared!

Now, was this magic, even described as a miracle by the gods, finally about to reveal its true form?

[Alone, I stand]

[Shattering ice upon a hill of swords]

[Yet this life has not ended]

[Even if this body is false]

With Shirou Emiya running at full speed, he had already reached the vicinity of the camp.

With a single leap, he jumped into the air!

"Look, that's Shirou!"

The Familia members desperately defending the camp cried out when they saw Shirou Emiya's figure in midair.

Because it meant that the Loki Familia's elites had returned.

"That is!"

Riveria, who was directing the defense, couldn't help looking shocked at Shirou Emiya, whose entire body brimmed with magic power.

Was that magic called a 'miracle'?

In midair, Shirou Emiya glared at all the New Species and roared.

"[My body is also made of sword]"

"[Unlimited Blade Works!]"

As the chant ended, the magic power within Shirou Emiya instantly spread out, enveloping everything before him.

"What is this?"

Surveying the surroundings, even Riveria, Orario's strongest mage, wore a horrified expression.

This was no longer the world they knew.

"No way!"

"How is this possible?"

"What is this place?"

Finn and all the other Loki Familia members were equally horrified. The previous moment, they had still been on the fiftieth floor, intercepting the monsters' invasion.

Yet the next moment, they had appeared in an unfamiliar world. What in the world was happening?

"Individuals and the world."

"Fantasy and reality."

"Exchanging inside and outside."

"Rewriting the real world according to my will."

"The greatest magecraft."

"Reality Marble!"

"What do you think of it? A world of swords containing infinite blades. As far as I'm concerned, they're all tombstones!"

The barren world was filled with swords.

Apart from that, only endless snowflakes continued to fall without cease.

Holding a Longsword and standing atop a high slope, Shirou Emiya gazed down at all the people and monsters, calmly explaining this world.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"

Unfortunately, there were always ignorant monsters that failed to recognize the situation and dared to challenge supreme authority.

As the New Species charged at him with roars, Shirou Emiya paid them no attention. His gaze remained fixed on the far more imposing monster opposite him.

It had the lower body of a New Species and a humanoid upper body, with four fanlike arms. Several tubular organs were attached to the back of its head.

Although its face had no features whatsoever, its slender lines evoked the impression of a woman.

Yet its hideous appearance erased every trace of femininity. The six-meter-tall giant female-bodied monster drew everyone's attention.

"How can it be so huge?"

Recalling how the other New Species had self-destructed upon death, Raul, whose injuries had already eased somewhat, simply couldn't imagine how much corrosive fluid this thing would spew if it died.

"With a body that large, it'll be hard to aim for its Magic Stone!"

"More importantly, we don't even know where its Magic Stone is buried!"

Even Gareth felt utterly helpless as he looked at the female-bodied New Species monster before them.

"Don't worry. I'll defeat them!"

With a casual wave of his right hand, Shirou Emiya's killing intent toward the New Species had already reached its peak.

"One against a hundred? Numbers are indeed the safest strategy!"

Looking at the surging monsters, Shirou Emiya remained unmoved. Behind him, however, countless black shadows covered everything.

"What is that?"

Swallowing with difficulty, Tiona stared at Shirou Emiya's figure in terror.

Beside her, every member of the Loki Familia reacted the same way.

Was this Shirou Emiya's full power?

Myriad Sword Return to Origin. A vast, night-black armament drew everyone's gaze toward it.

No one could remain unmoved in the face of such a sight.

Throughout the entire world, countless swords revealed their sharp edges at this moment, bringing down endless heavenly punishment upon the enemies who did not know the height of the heavens or the depth of the earth.

Countless swords descended from the sky, pinning every New Species to the ground.

Escape? Wailing? Begging for mercy?

Useless!

The sharp swords pierced each New Species' Magic Stone with precision. As for the female-bodied New Species, whose Magic Stone they could not locate, its former appearance could no longer be seen at all.

Hundreds of swords were stuck chaotically into its body. From a distance, it looked like a sword hill in this world.

One against a hundred—nothing described it better!
