I Create the Holy Grail War, Shocking the World Chapter 32

38. Avalon, Lost to the World, the Beginning of the Lunar Masterpiece!

["Traceon!"]

Yukino Shimo chanted inwardly, mana surging as her right hand became wrapped in a blue arc light, like lightning.

Under the boost of Reinforcement magic, anything she held would have its essence reconstructed. She tightly gripped a soft paper scroll, countless azure lines flowing with light across it, making the paper scroll as hard as diamond.

This scene was like a miracle!

"Who exactly are you people, and why do you want to kill me!"

She roared, demanding an answer.

Medusa retracted her pity and said faintly.

"Blame yourself for seeing what you shouldn't have."

"Killing someone for such a reason..." the girl was exceptionally angry.

"Rumble...!!"

The purple figure suddenly exploded, nimbly stepping on every available surface, her long boots stomping the ground with immense force. Numerous rocks flew, kicking up a thick gray fog.

—As an ancient divine monster, having been targeted by countless powerful individuals, Medusa's mastery over force had already reached its peak.

She knew exactly how to kill someone the fastest.

The reason she hadn't shattered Yukino's head before was simply because she didn't want the other party to die disfigured.

"Swish swish swish swish...!!"

Countless attacks came like a raging storm, chains whipping wildly, falling like raindrops.

The aura was domineering and magnificent, the air wailed, stirring up countless gales.

Various locations were continuously blasted, and brown smoke billowed out.

The girl's figure fled in a desperate scramble. Although she couldn't dodge a few of the chains, she roared and pushed them away with all her might, sparks flying.

A fierce battle, incredibly exhilarating!

Even though her muscles ached and her arm was nearly dislocated after forcefully deflecting the sharp Noble Phantasms, bright flames ignited in her eyes.

This was a drowning person desperately climbing for survival, a cornered beast fighting back!

With the determination to survive, even the weak could draw their swords against the strong!

"Whoosh!!"

But the moment she deflected all the chains, the figure resembling a Valkyrie lunged forward.

Like a swimming dragon, she hovered in mid-air and fiercely kicked towards the girl's abdomen.

"Yukino!!"

In the Sky Screen world, Haruno Shimo felt her heart clench, and she cried out in panic.

That was the embodiment of Medusa from Ancient Greek mythology; the explosive force of one kick was more terrifying than hundreds of tons of a semi-trailer truck. Yukino might be blown apart into a mist of blood.

What could be done now...

At the critical moment, the girl reinforced her body with Reinforcement magic.

"Thump...!!"

With a deafening roar, the air vibrated intensely, forming a visible white shockwave. She was kicked away like a soccer ball, her body plowing a hundred-meter-long gully in the ground!

The entire process was fluid and seamless, astonishing everyone with the scene's grandeur.

"Cough cough..."

Yukino Shimo grunted, feeling sore all over, almost to the point of passing out from the pain.

But she didn't hesitate. Enduring the pain, she got up and rushed towards the warehouse beside her.

"Please, don't be so stubborn..."

Medusa murmured softly, feeling the other party's extreme will to survive, her weapon-holding hand couldn't help but tremble. Sometimes, she wished she could just be a ruthless executioner.

This young child desperately wanted to live...

In just the blink of an eye, the girl managed to run into the warehouse.

Under the tense gaze of countless people, the camera slowly panned downwards.

On the dimly lit warehouse floor, an eight-pointed star magic circle glowed with an azure light.

Suddenly, many experts and professors worldwide gasped in unison.

That familiar summoning magic circle, wasn't it the array for summoning Servants?

The Sky Screen wouldn't show so many shots without reason.

That's right...

Yukino Shimo was one of the two Masters who had yet to appear!

Countless people across various regions clutched their chests, their hearts pounding, murmuring in disbelief.

"I should have realized sooner..."

"My sister Yukino has a deep connection to the Fourth Holy Grail War, and as her younger sister, Yukino is surely unable to escape the vortex of fate..."

"What happened ten years ago that drew the entire Yukino family into the Holy Grail War?"

Who would she summon?

Would it be Caster, a Mage Class servant...

Or the strongest Class servant, Saber Class, Saber!

[Chains flashing with purple light struck from behind like nimble snakes!]

[Yukino gritted her teeth and instinctively raised her reinforced paper scroll to block.]

["Clang!"]

[The two weapons clashed, an ear-piercing friction sound erupting. Arcs of light illuminated the dim warehouse, but after a brief moment, the paper scroll exploded, turning into a sky full of snow-white debris that drifted into every corner.]

["It's over."]

[Rider looked on with regret; she was such a clever little thing.]

[But she knew nothing about magecraft...]

[If she had trained more, she would have had a good chance of escaping after I went easy on her.]

[On the ground, Yukino Yukino stared intently at the killer preparing to end her life.]

[She clutched her blood-stained chest, gritting her teeth in unwillingness, and said, "I was just saved, I haven't even fulfilled my obligations... and now I'm going to die meaninglessly?"]

["How can I accept something like this!!"]

[The girl roared, and her magic rapidly gathered in her wrist.]

[In an instant, three strangely beautiful crimson patterns formed.]

[The summoning magic circle suddenly activated, cold air surged, and an inexplicable ethereal light bloomed!]

[A dazzling light floated within the girl's body, connecting with countless glowing green pathways. An arcane aura of nature adorned her beauty, and with a passionate roar, it instantly took shape.]

[This was an incomparably magnificent holy scabbard, inscribed with "Fae script" and adorned with blue patterns!]

[It was the strongest holy relic in the mortal world, the Noble Phantasm named "Avalon," the Fairy's Realm!]

[If this was used as a medium, it would surely summon that ever-victorious King who wields the holy sword!]

The passionate BGM swelled, as if chanting an inspiring, sacred melody.

Everything froze!

Time itself seemed to halt at this moment.

Countless people were so shocked their scalps tingled, goosebumps erupting all over.

What was that...

A holy aura emanated from the heavens to the earth, that noble ideal seeping into the souls of billions.

People stared blankly at the sky screen, their souls trembling violently for reasons unknown.

39. A Magnificent, Enduring Legend, the Peerlessly Beautiful King Answers the Summoning!

Not long ago, in the real world.

In the southwest of England, amidst the ruins of a collapsed European castle.

Amidst a crowd of over a hundred thousand tourists, an old man with a kind smile held his granddaughter's hand.

"Mashiro, do you know where this is?"

"...I don't know."

The girl with long yellow hair tilted her head, responding to her grandfather with confusion.

Although she was a world-class painter, Mashiro Shiina's life was solely dedicated to painting. She had lived in art studios since childhood and had little knowledge of history.

The old man gently patted the girl's head and smiled dotingly:

"This is Glastonbury, a pilgrimage site for the famous novel 'The Death of King Arthur'."

"It's commonly believed that Glastonbury, southwest of Greenland, is the prototype for the fairy realm – Avalon. Tourists visit this place all year round to commemorate King Arthur."

"Even today, the tourism here remains prosperous, with countless Anglo-Saxons who worship King Arthur coming here to pay their respects."

"King Arthur...?"

Mashiro Shiina tried hard to recall, but then she gave up thinking blankly.

Was it a very famous person?

Seeing this, the old man smiled gently:

"It's okay if you don't know. Just draw it."

"Yes, Mashiro wants to draw~."

The naturally airheaded girl nodded obediently, then set up the painting supplies with her grandfather.

Mashiro seriously looked at the ancient castle, which resembled ruins, and picked up her brush, ready to record it.

With her peak artistry, whether it was rotating windmills, twinkling stars, or a gentle warm breeze… tangible or intangible things could be captured by Mashiro.

Then, they would be vividly reproduced in her paintings.

This was also why she was called "the girl who fell from heaven to earth."

However, at this very moment…

A sudden change occurred!

Rumble…!!

As the Sky Screen's image overflowed with a divine aura, the ancient castle suddenly began to hum.

The moment the holy sword sheath appeared, heaven and earth seemed to resonate in a wondrous way!

It was as if an excited child, after a long wait, had finally reached a gentle haven…

and welcomed their mother's return!

The shaking of the ground quickly transmitted to people's senses, and the tourists were in utter panic.

"Fuck, is it an earthquake?!"

A young Englishman cursed, feeling extremely unlucky. He warned the surrounding tourists to flee further away together.

"Mashiro!"

The old man was also a bit flustered and quickly ran forward to shield the blonde girl behind him.

But in an instant, as a faint glow enveloped Glastonbury, the Englishman was stunned.
