Making Delta of Fate at the Start, the Group Chat Went Wild
"I also want to mention something about Central Park. They're currently conducting maintenance and surveys on the safety equipment in the high-rise buildings, which may involve some heavy machinery. So, for residents or tourists planning to take a walk or exercise in the eastern part of Central Park today, I suggest you consider going somewhere else..."
The entire broadcast lasted for nearly half an hour.
After listening attentively to Misaka Mikoto's broadcast, the two began to verify the information.
Hachiman Hikigaya asked, "Did you hear me clearly?"
Kazuma Satou looked at his Team Chat history, typing as he listened so he wouldn't miss any crucial information.
"Hmm, let me see. In the last transportation information, Misaka mentioned 'two groups of tourists from out of town.' One of the groups has already gone to visit the Fuyuki Church. These tourists should refer to the player groups. The remaining two groups should be on their side."
"Visiting the church... you must be referring to the couple who are getting married, right?"
"It should be that, apart from the initial 7:30, the other exact time given in the entire broadcast was 10:20 in the morning, which should be the time of the official operation."
"Then I'll set off too."
Hachiman Hikigaya nodded, checked the details again, activated his stealth ability, prepared to find a suitable location to appear, and then headed to the Seaside Park to attract the attention of [Archer].
"Okay, don't die... It's best to call Makoto and the others, in case you get killed in one hit and no one is there to clean up your corpse so it will just rot."
"Okay, you all need to be careful too."
[Team Chat]
[Kazuma Satou: "Have you finished searching?"]
Kohei Imamura: "I've finished eating."
Iori Kitahara: "I've almost finished eating too."
[Kazuma Satou: "Then let's each head downstream from Fuyuki Bridge. The meeting point has been sent in the group chat; it's right on the shore, so we should be able to meet easily."]
Iori Kitahara: "OK"
[Kohei Imamura: "See you later. Remember not to secretly take off your women's clothes."]
[Kazuma Satou: "... Alright then."]
After finishing the Team Chat, Kazuma Satou quickly went to the roadside to hail a taxi. This was the first time he had actually hailed a taxi in the game, instead of just being a "taxi driver".
Kazuma Satou got into the car and said:
"Master, go to the downstream bank of the Miyuan River."
"Um."
The driver glanced at Kazuma Satou and calmly started the meter. There were plenty of strange people in Fuyuki City; as a ten-year veteran driver, he'd seen it all and was used to it.
Kazuma Satou lay back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest. If the assassination attempt on the other side had failed, then the [Bow Noble Phantasm] they possessed, recommended by the professor and bearing terrifying side effects, was a remedy sufficient to seal the deal.
However, Kazuma Satou felt that with Ryuguuin's preparations, they wouldn't need them at all.
They've figured out Archer's fighting style and trump cards; as long as they proceed according to plan, they're guaranteed to win.
This is just an extra layer of insurance for myself, mainly to deal with other possible emergencies.
In short, the victory is already secured.
Chapter 0088 The Three Treasures Kill.
The shore of the Seaside Park.
A boy with dead fish eyes held a fishing rod, staring intently at the river surface.
On a tall building in the distance.
[Archer] The Chains of Heaven in his hand is ready to strike at any moment.
At his feet, three players who had activated stealth were rapidly approaching.
"They've taken the bait!"
[Archer] The moment Hachiman Hikigaya landed the fish, the Chains of Heaven shot out.
At this moment when his attention is most focused.
Three figures appeared behind him— his Noble Phantasm was fully unleashed.
Ryuguuin Seiya is holding Laios's Rainbow Sword in his hand, in order to obtain enough magical power to fully unleash his Noble Phantasm.
He drank the blood of the demonic boar and has now become Pig Person Transformation.
Shido Itsuka uses the [Chivalric Bridle] to summon his white horse. Having completed his transformation into Demi-Servant and possessing a magical heart, he is no longer an ordinary person.
They already possess the magical power to unleash their full Noble Phantasm.
On the thirty-third floor, Ryuguuin Seiya used up a series of Dao Tian Command Spell to apply an effect to them, greatly reducing the casting time of their Noble Phantasm Release releases to almost instantaneous.
Ryuguuin Seiya spun the sword in his hand, and rainbow-like light emanated from its blade.
"Experience the true rainbow within me! — [Caladbolg! (Rainbow Sword!)]"
Shido Itsuka leaped onto the pony, his voice booming like thunder.
"I see the Lamb open the first of the seven seals! Come, follow my ways! — [My Little Pony! (The White Horse That Never Returns!)]"
"?!"
[Archer] suddenly turned around and looked at the three figures that had suddenly appeared, as well as their released Noble Phantasm, his pupils shrinking to the size of pinholes.
This is... the True Caladbolg?
This person doesn't look like Fergus; she's already the Saber Class in this war! How is that possible!
Damn it, it was those parachuted Magecraft's illegal operation!
[Archer] instantly realized that the Magecraft fishing by the sea was probably in cahoots with them!
What a clever feigned sleep! He deliberately lowered his guard!
He couldn't withstand those two Noble Phantasm head-on, and instinctively wanted to run towards the rooftop.
"Don't even think about running!"
Misaka Mikoto coughed up blood, activated her Noble Phantasm, and her heart, which had been integrated into the [Moon Heart], began to beat wildly, channeling magical power throughout her body.
The life of that genius swordsman from the Edo period flooded her mind and was instantly analyzed.
A sword thrust out!
Not almost simultaneously, but exactly at the same time! The ultimate demonic sword of the peerless genius swordsman, Okita Souji!
"This?!"
[Archer] felt a chill run down his spine as he watched the secret sword, shimmering with emerald light, arrive in an instant and be the first to strike.
His intuition told him that if he didn't deal with this sword strike, he would die!
The surrounding scene slowed down instantly. [True Eye B] was activated. It wasn't that the flow of time slowed down, but rather that his thoughts and physical perception of time were out of sync. He had to make a decision the instant this brief period of thinking ended!
Should we use the "Crane Wing Triple Strike" to counter the brown-haired girl's secret sword?
No, my intuition tells me this decision is wrong.
[Crane Wing Triple Combo] is a sword technique that uses Projection to its advantage. The user throws out two swords and alternates between their Projection.
Without the previous preparations, it would be impossible to counter this sword strike in terms of swordsmanship... I have no time left to react.
[Archer] was drenched in cold sweat. It was too fast, far too fast. These people were using Noble Phantasm- level killing moves, giving him absolutely no room to react.
There's only a split second to react; if you want to survive, you have to take a gamble!
End of thought.
White Horse, Rainbow, and Secret Sword swept towards [Archer] from three directions.
"Trace On!"
A Chrysanthemum Shield blocked the white horse's path, but could not stop it. It was propelled forward, and Shido Itsuka, riding on its back, quietly pulled on the reins, causing [Little Shinto] to slow down slightly.
"Trace On!"
A Projection Spiral Sword appears, not in the name of liberation, but directly as Fantasy Collapse! Use the explosions from the Honkai to fight against the rainbow's beam cannon!
Although an explosion at such close range would affect oneself, it's still better than being directly hit by the Rainbow Sword.
[Archer] took out a sword nearly five feet long. He didn't Projection one after another, but almost simultaneously Projection all the necessary Noble Phantasm! This was not an impossible thing for him.
Even so, he wasn't sure if he could survive, because those two Noble Phantasm only provided a temporary delay, and now was the time to make the most crucial decision!
Instead of retreating, he charged towards Misaka Mikoto, forcibly unleashing his Noble Phantasm, which was actually a sword technique comparable to Noble Phantasm:
"[Tsubame Gaeshi's Secret Sword Swallow Return!] "
"[Mumyo Sandan Zuki's Nameless Three-Stage Thrust!] "
The sword techniques that come from three circular directions clash with the three horizontal thrusts that are released completely simultaneously!
This is not just a duel between two people.
It is also a sword duel that transcends time and space between a male swordsman with long blue hair and a female swordsman with cherry blossom hair.
Pulling Swallow, Cutting Swallow, Tsubame Gaeshi!
[Hirama Gan], [Tennen Rishin], [Nameless Three-Stage Thrust]!
Both swordsmen were extremely determined, focusing solely on offense and refusing to defend, all in order to test their unique skills.
Misaka Mikoto understood the will of Okita Souji and made the same choice as her, sacrificing herself with her sword.
Meanwhile, [Archer] sensed the shared will to destroy both his opponent and his own sword, and forcefully intervened in his own will, using the three strikes of Tsubame Gaeshi to counter the three thrusts of Nameless Three-Stage Thrust.
"Bang, bang, hiss!"
"Well."
The blue-haired swordsman sighed quietly as his heart was pierced by the final sword strike. The cherry-haired girl also shook her head and vanished completely.
The True Appearance of both were revealed.
[Archer], whose heart had been pierced, bled and suffered the same injury. Looking at the brown-haired girl in front of him, he Projection a short sword and stabbed it into her shoulder!
This could have pierced his heart, but he chose not to!
Because [Archer]'s goal wasn't to kill her at all!
Misaka Mikoto smiled and pretended to struggle to leave.
"Hmph, if you want to live, it depends on whether your companions will let you go."
[Archer] would naturally not give up the hostage in his hands, which was also his only chance of survival, and the two engaged in close combat.
He glanced at Ryuguuin Seiya and Shido Itsuka out of the corner of his eye... How could this be?!
The beams from the White Horse and the Neon Sword enveloped the two of them without hesitation!
In an instant, [Archer]'s body was rapidly destroyed by these two terrifying forces.
He looked at Misaka Mikoto standing amidst these two Noble Phantasm, completely unharmed?!
[A-Xiu: "Holy crap, friendly fire detection?!"]
[Miyamoto Iori: "It's such a shame that a sword duel of this caliber was interrupted."]
[Sasaki Kojiro: "No need to be demanding. Since they're still here, I'll have a battle with them eventually, and it might even be more exciting than before."]
[Miyamoto Iori: "?! The strangeness of the mountain path, the nameless one, you... you also manifested in the Inner World because of the Holy Grail War?"]
[Sasaki Kojiro: "And you are?"]
[Miyamoto Iori: "Excuse me, I am Iori, Miyamoto Iori. I have not served any lord, I am just a ronin. You met me in my old age and taught me the secret sword technique."]
[Yamato Takeru: "Iori! Iori! Let's team up together sometime! Remember to buy me curry rice!"]
[Miyamoto Iori: "Ah, Saber, so you're here too? I'd like to eat red bean rice... but whatever you want."]
In a ruin.
Misaka Mikoto watched as [Archer] in front of her turned into spirit particles and dissipated.
"Is it over?"
Looking at the ground where Archer (Archer) had disappeared, Ryuguuin Seiya asked Shido Itsuka:
Do you have any kill notifications on your end?
