"Yes, [Bloodstained Evil-Bane: Chalkiness] is my Noble Phantasm."
Anno raised his arm and lightly grasped at the air. The holy sword, gleaming with silver light, appeared in his hand.
"[Chalkiness of Sighs]—this is one of the four holy swords forged by the Lady of the Lake, and it is also the most powerful weapon I possess."
It was a heavy, grim-looking two-handed sword, with two mysterious and precious-looking gemstones embedded between the hilt and blade.
"[Chalkiness of Sighs]," Shirou Emiya murmured.
"The rushing tide of life is [Excalibur], wielded by my king, Arthur. The one in my hand is heavy radiance, hence its name, [Chalkiness of Sighs]. The other two are [Arondight], held by my son, whose blue light reflects the lake's waters, and [Sword of Revolving Victory], wielded by the Sun Knight Gawain, roaring with sunlight and blazing flames."
"Other than this holy sword, my other Noble Phantasm is the Treasure Armor I am wearing, likewise bestowed upon me by the Lady of the Lake."
"Releasing a Noble Phantasm's true name requires an enormous amount of magical energy, just as you saw, Shirou."
".So that was it."
No wonder he had felt as though he were about to be drained dry by that one attack.
Shirou Emiya felt even his arm tremble.
In that instant, he had truly felt like he was about to be sucked dry.
It was like being a tiny puddle and then having a high-powered pump thrown into it.
"By the way, Saber, those clothes you're wearing..."
Shirou voiced a question that had been bothering him ever since he had seen Anno again.
Anno was currently dressed in casual clothes that fit him perfectly.
"Xiang An gave them to me. He left just before you arrived."
Anno looked down at his clothes and smiled again.
