The Sword's Direction
"What are you talking about! From beginning to end, my goal has been to save this world on the brink of destruction!"
At this moment, Julian's desire to survive exploded, and he uttered a string of high-sounding words.
"Tch, hypocrite."
Mo Shuying scoffed. For the world to have ended up like this, Julian, or rather Darius, was at least half to blame.
However, it was true that the other party had always claimed to be saving the world. Mo Shuying glanced at the golden sword, and then his eyes lit up.
"Ohm~"
The Holy Sword was trembling, and the second "scabbard" was cracking! This was proof that its restraints could be released!
"Is it because of All the World's Evil, or Pandora, its source!?"
Mo Shuying narrowed his eyes, looking at the black cube in the sky, and pointed his sword towards Pandora's Box!
"Ohm!"
The Holy Sword immediately trembled more violently, and starlight spilled out from the cracks, surrounding the Holy Sword!
"As expected... Julian! I have good news for you! You're in big trouble!"
A smile spread across Mo Shuying's face, and Mana surged around him, forming a silver-white armor!
Then, he raised his sword and charged towards the army of black mud Heroic Spirits! Even though he was outnumbered, Mo Shuying showed no fear! A chaotic battle? That was his favorite!
"Wind King Hammer!"
*Boom!*
One swing cleared a large area, sending a dozen Heroic Spirits flying. Only two were completely defeated, while the rest were merely injured.
These black mud Heroic Spirits were formed from the grievances of Heroic Spirits who had failed and died in the Holy Grail War. Although they weren't true Heroic Spirits, they weren't too far off. Some of them were formidable, even capable of using Noble Phantasms!
"Ah!"
A rotund armored Heroic Spirit with a large belly swung a greatsword, chopping down. Mo Shuying parried the greatsword with his own, then swung the Holy Sword upwards, severing the black mud Heroic Spirit's head.
Immediately after, a thin black shadow wielding twin blades appeared behind Mo Shuying. The twin blades thrust towards Mo Shuying's lower back, but Mo Shuying twisted his body to dodge, then swung his sword back, cutting the shadow in half.
Another Lancer Heroic Spirit thrust forward, and even more Heroic Spirits condensed magic, drawing their bows and firing at Mo Shuying!
"Boom! Boom!"
Flames erupted as two Noble Phantasms suddenly landed among the Caster and Archer ranks. Then, the two Noble Phantasms exploded! Broken Phantasm directly blew away the surrounding black mud Heroic Spirits!
"We're here!!"
Emiya Shirou and Kuro attacked simultaneously. The two exchanged knowing glances, and Kuro shouted, "Momo-san! We'll clear a path for you! Please charge forward! Go straight for the enemy general!"
Emiya Shirou and Kuro came side-by-side, throwing projected Noble Phantasms as if they were free, exploding upon impact with immense firepower!
When the two reached Mo Shuying, they simultaneously stretched their hands forward!
"Trace On!
The verdant horizon that cleaves through a thousand mountains!
The dawn horizon that burns away ten thousand seas!"
Emiya Shirou and Kuro each wielded a sword! Two gigantic mountain-like swords thrust out, striking both sides and revealing a path before Mo Shuying.
Only a dozen black mud Heroic Spirits remained in the passage. At this moment, two figures, one red and one blue, arrived, unleashing astonishing Magic Bullets with a raise of their hands!
"Don't underestimate mature Magical Girls!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Tohsaka Rin and Luvia forcefully blasted open a path. Mo Shuying gave them a thumbs up, then moved, rushing towards Julian's high platform in a whirlwind!
"Julian! I'm coming for you!!"
At this moment, Mo Shuying seemed to be the true sinister villain! Julian, seeing this, recoiled in fear, like a frail lamb.
"Quick! Stop him! Stop him!"
Julian screamed. Countless black mud Heroic Spirits began climbing the twin swords, preparing to jump in and attack Mo Shuying.
But Emiya Shirou and Kuro suddenly raised their hands!
"You won't succeed!"
*Rumble!*
The two giant swords were suddenly lifted, then spread out to the sides, clearing a large area like bulldozers.
Mo Shuying seized the opportunity to charge directly onto the high platform! He leaped into the air, appearing above Julian's head! A smile that sent shivers down Julian's spine played on his lips! He swung his sword down! Julian understood that Mo Shuying truly intended to finish him.
"Don't come any closer!!"
Julian fell back into the black mud, screaming in terror. However, as the Holy Sword descended, a black-armored arm suddenly reached out from the black mud! It stirred up a wave of black mud while catching the Holy Sword with its palm!
"What!"
Mo Shuying's eyes widened. Even more surprising was that a black mist coiled around the Holy Sword, corroding black and red patterns onto its surface!
"Get lost!"
Mo Shuying was startled and immediately kicked out. His foot passed through the black mud and struck a hard body, sending an armored Heroic Spirit flying.
"Sakura?"
Mo Shuying frowned as he saw the figure he'd kicked away. It was Matou Sakura, but she had been modified and now possessed the power of Berserker Lancelot, a black, crazed Sakura.
The ability that had just caught Holy Sword and attempted to corrupt it was Lancelot's Noble Phantasm, Knight of Honor, a skill that allowed him to control and utilize others' Noble Phantasms.
Fortunately, Holy Sword shone brightly and quickly restored the corrupted area, remaining unaffected.
As for Matou Sakura…
"Hehehe~ Senpai~ Sakura will protect you~"
The modified Matou Sakura had also been subjected to an illusion. In her eyes, Julian looked like Emiya Shirou, which was why Matou Sakura was protecting Julian.
"I'm counting on you, Sakura! And you! Stop playing dead! As the Einzworth Family's doll! I resurrected you! Now, it's time for you to give your life for me! Go!"
Julian screamed wildly. The moment his voice fell, another person burst forth from the black mud! It was Beatrice, already on the verge of death.
Beatrice was contaminated by the black mud and now had the Berserker (Heracles) Class Card integrated within her. The great hero's powerful vitality prevented her from dying instantly; instead, she charged fearlessly towards Mo Shuying.
"Seriously, are you just going to hide behind women, you bastard?"
Mo Shuying shot Julian an annoyed glance, then moved.
This wasn't the time for him to overthink. Emiya Shirou and the others were still under siege below, and he needed to deal with the source quickly!
"Die!"
Mo Shuying activated his long-reserved Flash skill, appearing beside Julian just as the two female Berserkers' attacks were about to land.
Holy Sword descended upon Julian, leaving the two female Berserkers no time to come to his aid!
"Ah! Shield!"
The helpless Julian, at the last moment, used a Nameless.Shield card. The black light was just beginning to spread when Holy Sword sliced through it, but due to a slight deflection from the black shield, the strike went a little wide! It directly severed most of Julian's right arm!
"Aaaah!! My hand! My hand!"
Julian clutched his severed arm and writhed. Mo Shuying's single strike failed to kill Julian, and the next second, the two female Berserkers lunged again. Mo Shuying could only take a small step back to evade the attack.
At this moment, Mo Shuying's back was to Pandora's Box. He glanced at Pandora's Box in the air out of the corner of his eye, then!
"EX!!"
