Chapter 570: Chapter 556: Hand-Crafting the Holy Sword! Female Red Archer Turns On Hacks

[ Sensing the change in her opponent’s aura, Salter raised her hand and fired off a wave of sword energy.

Facing this sudden attack, Illya, who seemed like a completely different person, showed no intention of dodging. Instead, she slowly raised her hand.

"Rho Aias—!"

?The Seven Rings that Cover the Burning Heavens?

A shield of pink flower petals appeared in front of Illya, effortlessly blocking the strike. Taking advantage of the dust and smoke, she launched the first counterattack!

"Clang!Clang!Clang!—"

Three sharp blades darted out from the smoke. Salter easily parried them with a wave of her holy sword, but in doing so, she exposed an opening to Illya, who had leapt high into the air!

"Trace On—Projection Start!" Light flashed in Illya’s hands as Kanshou and Bakuya appeared once more, slashing down with astonishing speed.

"Pfft..." Without her armor for defense, Salter was cut and wounded by this completely unexpected strike.

Subsequently, Illya performed several rapid backflips to distance herself, standing afar to confront Salter once again.

Miyu stood frozen in place: "It’s unbelievable. This combat ability... this stance." ]

[ ..... ]

?Projection of All Worlds?

"That’s your brother... no, right now we should say that’s your sister!"

"Rho Aias, Kanshou and Bakuya, familiar projection magecraft, the familiar Triple-Linked Crane Wings... the flavor is right. It’d be weirder if Red A wasn’t the one piloting that account!"

Watching Illya switch combat stances with such incomparable proficiency, everyone rolled their eyes in speechlessness. They hadn’t expected Red A, who works for the Counter Force, to also have a side job as a professional booster!

.....

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

Tohsaka Rin stared dumbfounded at the bleeding Salter, barely able to keep her composure:

"Damn it... the damage we dealt after fighting for half the day isn’t even as much as Archer did in one minute coming out."

"Don’t mind it, Rin."

Artoria tried to comfort her wounded heart:

"You are very strong; it’s just that you happened to be countered!"

"Very strong..."

The corner of Tohsaka Rin’s mouth twitched slightly upon hearing this, feeling like she had been stabbed by another sword. She wasn’t an idiot; how could she not know they were completely crushed?

Indeed, magecraft generally ignores type advantages, but the counterfeit version of Salter isn’t the genuine article. She doesn’t even have consciousness and relies entirely on instinct to rub their faces in the dirt.

Watching the familiar Triple-Linked Crane Wings, Cu Chulainn’s tone became strange:

"Don’t you have any other moves? It’s always this set."

He never changes his routine; can’t he come up with something interesting?

"As long as it works. Doesn’t your spear also get thrown away after use?"

Red A replied expressionlessly.

Cu Chulainn himself was used to exchanging a few moves with his spear before unleashing his Noble Phantasm. Isn’t that just going back and forth with the same few sets? Neither should be laughing at the other.

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

"Sure enough, Archers all have one characteristic: they love playing melee with their broken knives!"

Jeanne Alter crossed her arms and tilted her small head up, putting on an ’I knew it’ expression.

It is common knowledge that the bow of the Archer class is always a decoration; melee is what they are best at.

Salter: "..." I understand the logic, but your considerate best friend is bleeding. Can you show a little concern for me first?

It’s fine if you say enough when Illya gets hurt and bleeds, but when I bleed, you just ignore it directly... I’ll see who goes shopping with you next time!

Salter thought sullenly. Although she knew the Salter in the video wasn’t her.

But Jeanne Alter’s attitude towards her compared to Illya and the others was just too different. This inevitably made her feel a bit jealous... Jeanne Alter, you double-standard!

.....

[ "—Clang!" Without any words, the two swung their weapons, crossing back and forth. In an instant, sparks flew, and the collision of blades emitted ear-piercing hums.

As their battle grew more intense, crimson blade light and black sword shadows wove together. It was hard to believe this was the same Illya who was crying about wanting to go home just moments ago.

After a round of clashes, Illya pulled back to create distance. She took out a black longbow and casually projected a "Caladbolg II—!"

Then, she drew the bow and nocked the arrow. With a bang, the spiral sword instantly transformed into a streak of light speeding away. Relying on her powerful Instinct, Salter tilted her head slightly to the side.

Bang—

Salter dodged the attack with a thrill of danger, but the armor on her face wasn’t so lucky; it was shattered instantly!

Seeing this, Salter silently began charging Excalibur right where she stood. Pitch-black magical energy surged continuously, and her body was surrounded by black lightning.

"Are you alright, Miyu-sama!"

Just then, Magical Sapphire struggled to climb out of a deep pit. It turned out that during the critical moment earlier, they had urgently hidden underground, but Tohsaka Rin and the others were still knocked unconscious by the shockwave. ]

[ ..... ]

?Projection of All Worlds?

"Wait... you’re a freaking Archer!"

Watching Illya skillfully aim and shoot, everyone remembered that this Illya, who had just been fighting back and forth in melee combat with Salter, was currently in the Archer class!

Seeing Illya slashing around with dual blades earlier and even seemingly gaining the upper hand, they almost thought she was the Saber.

No wonder they say since ancient times, Archers are mostly cheaters, and their melee is freaking awesome. It really lives up to the reputation!

.....

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

"They were fine just now, but we might be in trouble again. It looks like she’s going to release her Noble Phantasm again!"

Waver looked strangely at Sapphire drilling out of the ground. Does this wand also have E-rank Luck? It gets wrecked the moment it pops its head out!

Irisviel, who was incredibly familiar with Saber’s Noble Phantasm, immediately became anxious, her whole being filled with worry:

"Can the current Illya release Unlimited Blade Works!?"

After all, everyone knew the power of Salter’s beam. The only thing that could counter Salter’s Noble Phantasm, even for Red A, was Unlimited Blade Works; there was no other way.

Kiritsugu Emiya’s tone was firm:

"It will be fine. Believe in Shirou, believe in Illya!"

He discovered that the Emiya Shirou of every world seemed to possess the Reality Marble, Unlimited Blade Works. So, this female version of Red A should be no exception!

.....

[ "Run, Illya!" Miyu, having already witnessed the power of Salter’s Noble Phantasm, immediately shouted in panic: "Even in your Heroic Spirit form, you can’t withstand that holy sword!"

Illya did not respond. She stood there with utter indifference, her golden eyes fixed dead on the holy sword in Salter’s hand.

"Trace On—!"

?Projection Start?

Illya placed her hands in front of her as if gripping something invisible. Surging magical energy kicked up chaotic air currents. Accompanied by a blinding golden light, a holy sword also manifested in her hands!

Its name is—The Sword of Promised Victory!

As the girl held the holy sword high, dazzling and brilliant golden light began to bloom all around. This was the crystallization of the dream that all warriors who have perished on the battlefield throughout the ages pursued and longed for—the thirst for victory!

"EX—calibur!" ×2

?Sword of Promised Victory?

Torrents of golden and black magical energy began to collide violently. The fierce gale generated by their clash wantonly destroyed everything in the vicinity.

After a standoff, the golden light carrying glory finally swallowed the black, completely covering Salter and turning her back into a card.

Having done all this, Illya completely lost consciousness. The Archer card was ejected from her body, and the holy sword in her hand turned into light, dissipating once more. ]

[ ..... ]

?Projection of All Worlds?

"No, big bro... you’re cheating, right? Can you even project a holy sword? Even if we overlook that, you can release it too?"

"Holy sword against holy sword, paying someone back in their own coin!"

People from other worlds stared dumbfounded at the scene before them... Big bro, this cheat is a bit too harsh. Basically, you can project anything except EA, right?

.....

?Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline?

In the 6th Singularity, Divine Realm of the Round Table: Camelot—

"Damn, does it have to be so exaggerated? Even Father’s holy sword can be projected, and its Noble Phantasm released!"

Mordred’s face changed drastically, and she began to question her entire life.

Lancelot sighed deeply:

"Although I knew Heroic Spirit Emiya was a special Heroic Spirit, he shouldn’t be this special."

Is piracy so rampant these days? It’s made just like the real thing!

Even the glory symbolizing victory was reproduced. Even if the original owner came out, she probably couldn’t tell the difference. It’s simply more original than the original!

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

"Trace On—!"

Waver looked strangely at the small knife he had projected.

"That’s right! Projected items only have forty percent of the original’s effect, so how did he manage to actually beat the original owner?"

Clearly, Projection, Displacement, and Reinforcement are just the three basic magecrafts—weak magecrafts that he wouldn’t even deign to use. Are their effects this strong?

"Stop thinking about it, mongrel!"

Seeing Waver’s confused behavior, Gilgamesh sneered disdainfully:

"Although that guy is a fake, he isn’t something you mongrels can compare to."

It’s like how anyone can run, but there is only one person in each universe who can run faster than light.

However, this King has indeed seen something interesting...

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

"It doesn’t make sense! Even with Projection Magecraft, it’s impossible to project a holy sword!"

Illya’s operation directly shattered Tohsaka Rin’s worldview.

She then stared suspiciously at Archer. Was this guy acting in front of her? Having such strong abilities but never showing them off.

"Don’t look at me like that; I can’t project it!"

Red A waved his hands, feeling uneasy under her gaze.

"Hah? Who are you trying to fool at this point?"

Tohsaka Rin pointed her finger at the screen.

"I don’t have that much magical energy..."

Red A’s understated sentence directly silenced Tohsaka Rin. So basically, it’s my fault as the Master for not being powerful enough!

Tohsaka Rin was even considering whether to learn it. Projection Magecraft isn’t hard; in fact, it can be said to be very simple. What’s difficult is reaching the height of Emiya Shirou!

After all, Projection Magecraft really is a magecraft that isn’t very useful...
