The white-haired older sister with a ponytail not far away raised an eyebrow, her black trench coat fluttering slightly.
She looked playful. "Master, what made you think of coming here?"
Luo Shu glanced down at the invisible barrier, the "Blood Shrine," that enveloped the entire academy. He smiled faintly. "Someone has set up a barrier technique here that severely pollutes the spiritual meridians... it's the work of a Servant."
"To be observable from the outside is truly third-rate skill, but..."
Luo Shu seemed to be smiling, but his eyes held a cold danger. "Kaguya usually attends school here. Once the magic activates... she will die."
The white-haired older sister touched her chin. "Understood. I'll go dismantle it right away."
"Let's go together, Archer."
"The Holy Grail War might just begin tonight."
His calm, elegant voice drifted into the night sky.
Swish~.
An instant later, an incredible figure leaped from the rooftop.
The violent night wind surged, and the moon-white sleeves billowed dramatically, creating an incredibly shocking visual impact!
"Is the Holy Grail War finally about to begin..."
"Buddhas, Angels, Yellow Emperor, Amaterasu Omikami, Pharaoh, Quetzalcoatl, Shiva, please protect Luo-jun's safety."
In the real world, Gokou Ruri silently recited this.
She offered her devout blessings to the one who had rewritten her tragic fate.
Praying to multiple gods, surely one would be effective.
Inside the Matou Residence, in the dark underground worm den.
A clear, cold female voice suddenly echoed.
Through the nexus of the Command Spells, Medusa could contact her Master from a great distance. She had successfully transmitted the intelligence now, her tone somewhat serious.
"Master, the 'Blood Shrine' I set up has been discovered by another Servant."
"Is the opponent one of the three Knights?"
"She doesn't have any obvious characteristics and wields twin blades. I suspect she might be Saber, or Assassin."
"It doesn't matter, Rider. I believe your strength is more than enough to easily defeat her."
Matou Shinji said dismissively, chuckling. He then stood up from a graceful corpse.
Several withered female corpses were also in the room, their faces contorted in agony, as if they had suffered extreme torture before death.
Their life force had all been drained by Matou Shinji and converted into magical energy.
To win the Holy Grail War, using some demonic methods was normal.
One could say... it was already the greatest honor for an ordinary person to become fuel for his ascent to godhood.
This scene caused a huge sensation!
Instantly, the world erupted!
Washington, Mexico, St. Petersburg... people's pupils contracted, and they felt a chill run down their spines.
"Cardiac arrest!"
"Holy shit, what a monster!!!"
"Ah, that's too tragic."
"Rest in peace."
"I'm getting goosebumps. My back is cold in the middle of the night."
"It's so oppressive. It's truly despairing to put myself in these girls' shoes."
"Matou Shinji, you're really not human, damn it."
"I only wish such things will never happen again..."
"Just looking at the images is chilling..."
"May the deceased rest in peace."
At this moment, undercurrents were surging, and only a single fuse was needed to detonate all of Fuyuki City!
——At Hohzuki Academy, the barrier device of the "Blood Shrine" was shattered. The formidable anti-army Noble Phantasm was easily destroyed, like a towering, invisible ruin.
"Whoosh!"
A stake with a chain shot over, glinting coldly under the moonlight and breaking the sound barrier!
The white-haired female Heroic Spirit raised an eyebrow. She instantly materialized twin black and white blades and swung them with her right hand without hesitation. Accompanied by the crisp sound of clashing weapons, sparks flew, and the compressed air let out a mournful cry.
Failing to land a hit, the opponent quickly withdrew their weapon.
Under the calm gaze of the Archer class, a woman with long purple hair and an eyepatch emerged from the corner, the snake-like mark on her forehead revealing her identity.
With the arrival of the Rider class, Medusa, battle was imminent!
That noble young man stood on a rooftop to the side, arms crossed, and calmly commanded, "Take her out."
In an instant, two figures launched their attacks the moment the voice sounded.
"Rumble...!!"
The clouds in the sky churned violently, thunder rumbled, and the clash of blades and swords continued.
The grand curtain slowly lifted.
Recording a magnificent, world-shattering battle!!
34. A Mythic War Descends, Blades Clash, Great Yokai's Apprehension!
Under the night sky, gasps of surprise erupted all over the world.
Many Earthlings were petrified with fear, their hair standing on end, and they sucked in sharp breaths.
The luminous screen erected in the sky, displaying countless flashes of swords and blades, exuded an epic aura that washed over them, introducing the seemingly mythical war before their eyes!
The clash between the two Heroic Spirits was magnificent, stirring up a thousand waves in an instant!
They were high-dimensional beings in a macro sense, eternal souls sublimated after death.
Their physical bodies were supersonic, their divine power unparalleled. A casual probe from them was comparable to a battleship's cannon strike, burning four hundred million joules and easily piercing through four buildings. The residual shockwaves from their close-quarters combat alone could destroy a commercial street!
A goosebump-inducing, passionate BGM began to play, leaving an inexpressible shock in their hearts.
Inside Hohzuki Academy, the agile purple-haired figure brandished chains, leaving afterimages in her wake.
I can't see clearly, I can't see clearly at all!
In an instant.
The two chains formed thousands of afterimages, and the air exploded with violent surges.
Like a beautiful snake dancing a waltz under the moonlight, she moved with elegant fluidity, forming purple arcs of light.
Medusa, with her ultimate sharp offensive, at incredibly tricky angles, and harboring intense killing intent, intended to put Archer to death!
"Clang! Clang clang clang!! Clang clang clang!!!"
Sparks flew, and the cold sound of impact echoed throughout the entire academy!
The ground was shattered, forming ravines several meters deep, with rocks flying everywhere.
The white-haired older sister narrowly dodged, deflecting the chains with her B-rank projected Noble Phantasm, Gan Jiang Mo Ye.
Amidst the dust, she still managed to tease with a faint smile, "Such vicious attacks, as expected of... Huh?!"
In an instant, the white-haired female Heroic Spirit's pupils contracted sharply. The abnormal speed of the air's flow made her feel something was wrong. A powerful gust of wind struck, and her battle-hardened intuition made her instinctively slash backward.
"Clang!"
Gan Jiang Mo Ye met in a clash, blocking the fatal chains.
But as beautiful long boots appeared, she was sent flying with a powerful kick.
"Rumble...!!"
"Clang clang clang!!"
The moment she was kicked away, the white-haired older sister stabilized herself. Through her battle-hardened intuition, she instantly deflected countless attacking chains, scattering bright sparks.
No, to be precise, it was two chains!
It was just that in a mere instant, she unleashed thousands of attacks, making people mistakenly believe there were countless more.
Approximately a hundred meters of ground was reduced to ruins, with the earth riddled with deep, uneven holes.
Medusa landed on the highest point of the rooftop and calmly looked down, stating faintly, "While your combat skills are good, you're not Saber or Assassin, are you?"
"Who knows."
The white-haired older sister flicked the corner of her clothes, raised an eyebrow, and a smile curved her lips, "Perhaps I'm a Servant of the Caster class?"
Medusa frowned, "I've never heard of a Mage who uses dual swords..."
"Well, now you have~."
The white-haired female Heroic Spirit smiled, raising the black and white twin blades in her hands, "It's easier to guess your identity now. Your clothing style is Ancient Greek, plus the snake-like mark on your forehead... It seems I need to be wary of your Mystic Eyes."
"Tch... cunning woman."
Medusa coldly clenched her chains, ready to attack at any moment.
It was truly incredible that her opponent could fight her to this extent. Her innate swordsmanship and the combat awareness honed through countless battles made her feel exceptionally troublesome.
Especially that 'Mind's Eye,' which could easily detect the angles of her attempted surprise attacks.
Even though her overall stats crushed the opponent's, she could only fight to a draw.
It was truly remarkable...
Even looking back through the long river of history, this white-haired Heroic Spirit was undoubtedly an invincible hero!
"Is that black and white dual blade her Noble Phantasm?"
The moonlight was like water, illuminating two figures facing each other.
The two temporarily ceased their battle, probing for each other's weaknesses and openings.
The entire world's audience widened their eyes, utterly awestruck by this mythical battle.
The Observer Net was also abuzz, with fervent bullet comments flooding in like a tide.
"I'm kneeling."
"This is too explosive!"
"My scalp is tingling, how can they be this cool..."
"Heroic Spirits are just too freaking awesome!!!"
"So cool they're falling apart~ (≧▽≦)/~."
"The sound effects are also explosive!"
"Holy crap, why are they fighting in close combat? Does your Archer fight like this?!"
"Every ranged fighter has a heart that wants to stand and fight."
"Archer A: Because I was too afraid of being flanked and cut down, I put all my talent points into melee."
"Stop it, you guys, hurry up and stop fighting! The principal of Hohzuki Academy is crying!"
"As everyone knows, the Holy Grail War is conducted in secret."
"Newton: I've already consciously secured the lid of my coffin, you guys can fly with peace of mind."
Tokyo, the Great Yokai Nura Hyō stared intently at the Sky Screen, his expression grave.
