Chapter 567 - 553: Saber Alter! As Everyone Knows, Archer Is a Trash Card!

Chapter 567: Chapter 553: Saber Alter! As Everyone Knows, Archer Is a Trash Card!

[ Just when everyone thought it was over, Miyu’s expression suddenly changed, and a surge of magical energy that everyone was incredibly familiar with came from the sky.

They saw Caster, who had survived thanks to teleportation magic, deploying a massive magic circle in the air, intending to destroy this space and perish together with everyone!

Seeing this, Miyu immediately rushed over, but at her current speed, she couldn’t make it in time. Just then, she heard Illya shouting.

"Miyu-san, step on it!" Illya fired a magical energy... cannon directly at Miyu!

Miyu hesitated no longer, solidifying the magical energy into a foothold. She then used it to accelerate, transforming once again into the Heroic Spirit Cu Chulainn.

Relying on Gae Bolg’s property of always striking the heart, she turned into a streak of flowing light instantly before Caster’s large-scale magic could activate, successfully crushing the latter’s heart.

It wasn’t until Caster successfully turned into a Class Card and landed in her hand that Miyu finally relaxed: "Class Card Caster, recovery complete!" ]

"Using a magical energy cannon as a foothold... you are invincible, kid!"

Everyone stared blankly at the somewhat tender-faced Illya. Did you learn this concept from watching anime too? Are cartoons really that powerful?

The most terrifying thing was Illya’s boldness. That was a magic cannon that could have blown Miyu up if she wasn’t careful, yet she really dared to think it and do it!

.....

?Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline?.

"That’s great, it’s finally over..."

Tohsaka Rin let out a long sigh of relief, feeling the tight string in her body suddenly loosen.

Although it was another version of herself, letting two little girls who were still in elementary school do such dangerous things put immense pressure on her. What if something really happened!

Meanwhile, Illya, who was standing to the side, stole a guilty glance at Cu Chulainn, then quickly retracted her gaze, afraid of being noticed by him...

Because she suddenly realized that Cu Chulainn seemed to have ’died’ right at the start again. He appeared as a card; not to mention the recovery process, there wasn’t even a shadow of a person.

But it had to be said, the Class Card of a certain blue Lancer who spins and charges and gets frantically persecuted in the Carnival was really useful...

"..."

Cu Chulainn, who had already noticed Illya’s gaze, was speechless. Enough, little girl. It’s rude to keep staring!

I’m already trying hard to lower my presence and stay silent enough; can’t you focus on something else?

.....

[ "Speaking of which, even though the card has been recovered, the boundary in the sky is collapsing too slowly."

Tohsaka Rin looked around with some confusion. Logically speaking, they should have been out by now.

"Clack, clack, clack."

Just then, the sound of chilling footsteps suddenly rang out. A figure was seen slowly walking from the distance towards Tohsaka Rin.

"Could it be..." Cold sweat instantly streamed down Tohsaka Rin’s face. Before she could even turn her head, she was attacked.

"BOOM——!" An explosion immediately caught Miyu and Illya’s attention.

As the dust settled, the few of them finally saw the identity of the newcomer clearly. Clad in pitch-black armor, wearing a mask engraved with strange patterns, and holding a black holy sword—Saber Alter!

"The worst has happened. Although it’s unbelievable, it has actually happened. A second enemy!"

Ruby and Sapphire spoke one after another, both revealing their astonishment, as if the appearance of Saber Alter was an impossible miracle! ]

[ ..... ]

『 Viewers of Countless World 』

"Holy crap... you’re kidding, right? Another one? Even a hanged man needs a moment to breathe."

Seeing the suddenly appearing Saber Alter, everyone was dumbfounded. Isn’t this Caster’s Mirror World? Where did you, Saber Alter, run out from?

And you actually know how to sneak attack? And you claim you have no will!

.....

?A Certain Magical Index World, Academy City?

Watching the situation become increasingly complex, Misaka Mikoto had a sudden flash of inspiration:

"If Caster and Saber Alter were originally fighting inside this space, then it makes sense..."

This would explain why when Illya and the others entered this Mirror World for the first time, the sky was already filled with overwhelming magical traps.

So those were prepared by Caster for Saber Alter! It was just that by a twist of fate, they were used against Illya and her group.

"Onee-sama, if that’s really the case, then how do you explain that Illya and the others didn’t see any traces of battle the two times they entered?"

Kuroko tilted her head in confusion.

"Uh... this..."

Misaka Mikoto was momentarily at a loss for words. She couldn’t explain this doubtful point either. It couldn’t possibly be that coincidental, right?

?Type-Moon World, G?????r???a????n????d??? ????C????a???r????n????i???v???a????l??? Worldline, Chaldea?

"Did you do this?"

Jeanne Alter glanced at Saber Alter, who was radiating a dark aura on the screen.

Saber Alter, who was currently feasting, lifted her head from a pile of food. While chewing, she slurred out a few words:

"Don’t know. No recollection."

After speaking, she continued to battle the delicious food in front of her under Jeanne Alter’s speechless gaze...

"Hmm... it definitely isn’t you!"

Jeanne Alter nodded with absolute certainty. They had been busy working part-time jobs recently.

Moreover, if the one on the screen were a cold, domineering CEO, then the one in front of her was a dazed foodie. The difference seemed rather significant!

.....

[ "Rin-oneesan, Luvia-oneesan!" Seeing the two lying on the ground, Illya was burning with anxiety and was about to rush over, but Miyu grabbed her wrist.

"Wait, don’t be too impulsive!" Miyu knew that in their current state, they couldn’t afford any impulsive actions!

"Please calm down, Illya-san!" Magical Ruby suddenly flashed a light, looking towards the two lying on the ground.

In an instant, an image resembling a computer data panel appeared before everyone’s eyes. Magical Ruby was analyzing the data of Tohsaka Rin and Luvia just like a Structural Analysis.

"Life signs detected. They are fine for now; the two of them are still alive." ]

[ ..... ]

?Projection of All Worlds?

"???"

Looking at Magical Ruby’s high-tech panel that looked like data, question marks were written all over the faces of people in other worlds.

"When I realized there was a problem, it wasn’t me who had the problem; it was you who had the problem... What is up with this game-panel-LIKE SCREEN—!!"

.....

?Type-Moon World, Fourth Holy Grail War Worldline?

Meanwhile, the old father Tohsaka Tokiomi also breathed a sigh of relief, although he didn’t quite understand what was going on with that common-sense-destroying wand.

But as long as Rin was safe, it was fine. The head of the Tohsaka family was almost gone just like that.

?OVERLORD World?

"That wand, it couldn’t have been built casually while playing a game, right?"

Ainz looked at the incredibly familiar panel and couldn’t help but retort.

Tech + Magic Ruby?

Unexpectedly, the wand most suitable for a world of mystery turned out to be a product of the technology side. The end of science is theology, and the end of theology turns out to be science again?

If you told me now that Magical Ruby might need charging, I would believe it!

.....

[ "We have two options." Miyu looked cautiously at Saber, who was emitting an ominous aura: "Either defeat the enemy immediately or rescue the two of them while the enemy isn’t paying attention."

Illya was silent for a moment, then suddenly froze: "That, what about that spear? If we use that spear, we can insta-kill her in one hit!"

Miyu shook her head. Once the Include is used, that card cannot be used again for several hours.

"I’ve already tried. The Rider card seems to have no effect in single combat, and the effect of Caster is still unknown. The risk is too great."

Magical Ruby spoke faintly: "Plus, Archer is a useless piece of trash!" ]

[ ..... ]

『 Viewers of Countless World 』

"A useless piece of trash... you really dare to say that!"

Everyone in other worlds instantly had dark lines covering their faces, the corners of their mouths twitching slightly.

If they didn’t know that some Archers could pierce through a Holy Grail War in a single night, they might have actually believed it.

.....

?Type-Moon World, G?????r???a????n????d??? ????C????a???r????n????i???v???a????l??? Worldline, Chaldea?

"Illya’s suggestion is indeed good; it’s a pity there are restrictions."

Gudako shrugged with some regret. Now I’m out of ideas.

After all, Lancer class counters Saber class. In Gudako’s view, using Cu Chulainn to fight Artoria was only natural. As long as the Noble Phantasm is activated, it’s a guaranteed win!

Another even greater regret was that the Archer class card, which also counters Saber, was banned. Otherwise, you could also summon Arash to fire a Stella.

That move never fails!

?Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline?

"Use... Useless trash?"

The expression on Red A’s face froze instantly. That Magical Ruby, right? Come out for a duel if you have the guts!

Watch me project a Rule Breaker and give you a harsh stab, letting you know what ’useless trash’ means!

"That card, without Projection Magecraft, it really does seem pretty useless."

Tohsaka Rin silently stabbed another knife into Archer’s wound.

What can you do given only a bow? Shoot air?

Emiya Shirou spoke with a conflicted tone:

"Does using that Archer card require praying to the Throne of Heroes or something?"

Back then, when the Great Hero Emiya held the Archer card, it was also a useless card. It was only after praying to the Throne of Heroes for help that he gained power... although the only one who responded was himself.

But if Illya and Miyu, either of these two, were to pray, the existence known as Heroic Spirit Emiya would find it impossible to refuse!
