Gae Bolg Alternative originated from Manannán mac Lir, the Celtic god of the sea and the Otherworld.
Therefore, this demonic sword inevitably bore the mark of the Sea God.
Its sword energy was like seawater, fluid and continuous; a single strike, amplified by the sword energy, was almost equivalent to a thousand strikes.
Hence, in Celtic mythology, Diarmuid was able to achieve the formidable feat of slaying four thousand soldiers with one sword.
However, as its name suggests, the true meaning of Gae Bolg Alternative was not to extol the infinite vastness of the sea, but rather because the ocean unleashes endless disasters, engulfing everything, as if venting its rage!
Therefore, the demonic sword named Gae Bolg Alternative could release a tidal wave of sword energy, like a tsunami or natural disaster.
And at this moment, Diarmuid was using this desperate ultimate technique of the demonic sword, applying all the wave-like sword energy to the enemy's upper body before it could spread from the sword!
Boom boom boom!!!
The roar from the sea, amidst continuous booming sounds, countless magical power transformed into endless streams of light, striking Rin's body and finally rushing into the sky.
The brilliant light illuminated the entire night sky!
The light was so dazzling that it attracted all eyes in Fuyuki City.
The Heroes fighting on the Weiyuan River all involuntarily paused their weapons, and even Caster, who had fallen into madness amidst the sea monsters, was drawn to it.
"That light is... Lancer!"
Saber, reacting first, couldn't help but shout.
The King of Conquerors, driving the Chariot of Divine Might, looked at the light appearing in the sky with a solemn expression, watched it fade, and sighed from the bottom of his heart:
"What a dazzling and brilliant light of loyalty.
How fortunate it would be if he could join my ranks."
Then the King of Conquerors looked at Saber, who was standing on the water, and said:
"Little Knight King, it seems your knight's duel with Lancer is no longer possible."
"It matters not.
Lancer must have sacrificed himself, offering his loyalty to his lord.
To have an unfulfilled promise with such a knight of noble quality is a regret, but also my honor."
...
"Cough cough!!"
Awakened by the earth-shattering sword light, Kenneth El-Melloi Archisorte, whose consciousness was slowly returning from the chaos, gradually took control of his body. He struggled to get up, then saw the messy environment around him and the two young girls standing not far in front of him.
"Ah!...You…"
He instinctively took a step back, his foot missed, and he fell to the ground, as this place was, after all, a ruin.
"I told you to be careful, and now you've messed up! You're not going to die just like that, are you?"
"Cough…cough…It's fine, it's fine. Diarmuid was in a state of Magic Power exhaustion just now. If it had been his full-power sword from before, he really would have taken my life. Although it's pretty close now…"
Diarmuid, in a state of Magic Power exhaustion, forcibly released his noble phantasm. His own Magic Power was completely depleted, and he disappeared from the field. When Gae Bolg Alternative was released with insufficient Magic Power, its power was greatly reduced. The tide-like sword qi could only barely shatter the scale defense on Rin's body, leaving a large number of tiny, hair-thin wounds on her skin. Her entire body looked completely dyed red with blood, but the actual problem was not severe.
However, the real trouble was a huge sword mark that stretched from Rin's right shoulder all the way to her left waist. This was the wound cut by the physical blade of Gae Bolg Alternative…That demonic sword possessed a sharpness fully befitting an A+ noble phantasm, almost cutting Rin in half with a single strike.
Jalter could vaguely see Rin's still-beating heart from the side of the massive wound that had been cut open on her body. Such an injury would be absolutely fatal for a human.
"Thankfully, it didn't damage the heart of the source of mystery. Otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to use Magic and would only be able to return to the city to revive…"
But unfortunately, human standards cannot be used to measure Rin—
Under the vibrant emerald green light of Magic, the terrifyingly large wound rapidly healed, and the damaged, shattered internal organs returned to their original positions.
She condensed a complete set of clothing with Magic Power to replace the clothes shattered by the sword qi, then stood up. The pain from Diarmuid's desperate sword strike still left her with some lingering fear. That sword had indeed touched the edge of Rin's death. Fortunately, her Dragon Heart was not destroyed by the sword qi, allowing Magic Power to circulate for Magic self-healing.
"Speaking of which, this is our first meeting, isn't it, Mr. Kenneth El-Melloi Archisorte?"
Seeing Kenneth El-Melloi Archisorte awaken, Rin turned her attention to the bewildered Magus, walking slowly towards him. Rin's movement immediately tensed Kenneth El-Melloi Archisorte's nerves.
"Boil, my blood!"
Almost without hesitation, Kenneth El-Melloi Archisorte activated his Magic Circuits. The magecraft reriqument: blood fort andromeda Magic Crest instantly activated. In a flash, mercury-like liquid emanated from Kenneth El-Melloi Archisorte, transforming into a long whip, and struck towards Rin!
"You're willing to burn your own life to convert Magic Power just to attack me. You don't need to be so blatant with your tricks!"
With a punch infused with surging Magic Power, she dispersed the incoming magecraft reriqument: blood fort andromeda back into mercury droplets. Rin had already approached within ten steps of Kenneth El-Melloi Archisorte. With Rin's eyesight, she could easily see the black fluid flowing deep within Kenneth El-Melloi Archisorte's eyes.
"It seems the jealousy in his human nature has been ignited to the extreme. So that's it, the inherent weakness of humans who cannot bear to see others possess what they lack. As the saying goes, envy, jealousy, and hatred describe someone like you…"
Rin, like a giant looking down on an ant, commented on Kenneth El-Melloi Archisorte with a calm tone and contemptuous expression, not truly seeing Kenneth El-Melloi Archisorte but rather the entity behind him.
"Kill you, kill you, kill you…Ah!!"
Kenneth El-Melloi Archisorte, disregarding his own life, forcibly refined Magic Power. The magecraft reriqument: blood fort andromeda surged forward like boiling water, attacking relentlessly. But each time, the result was nothing more than being easily dispersed by Rin's fist.
"…If you had had this desperate resolve just now, Diarmuid's final sword wouldn't have been so powerless. You have already missed the only chance to kill me. If you don't believe in Heroic Spirits, then you shouldn't have participated in the Holy Grail War. Do you think this is a stage for you to show off your talents? What a joke, this is a battlefield, and now is war!"
Facing the magecraft reriqument: blood fort andromeda that attacked again, Rin did not disperse it but raised her palm to receive it. The moment Rin touched it, the entire mass of magecraft reriqument: blood fort andromeda froze as if solidified. End Magic rapidly invaded the interior of this Magic Crest, Kenneth El-Melloi Archisorte's imprint was directly erased, and a brand new exclusive imprint of Rin was carved upon it.
"But upon seeing what others possess that you do not, one should not be jealous, but rather seize it, like me! Jealousy scheming in the dark is merely the venom of the weak. To crush it head-on and claim it for oneself is the way of the strong!"
Without the need for incantations, the magecraft reriqument: blood fort andromeda moved completely at Rin's will in her hand. For the despairing Kenneth El-Melloi Archisorte, there was no such thing as the Magic Crest showing old affection. It instantly transformed into countless sharp needles, piercing Kenneth El-Melloi Archisorte with countless holes.
"Hmph, do you think I can't see you?"
Rin snorted coldly. The magecraft reriqument: blood fort andromeda once again transformed into a blade and instantly struck, beheading the entity named Kenneth El-Melloi Archisorte. The flying head still retained an expression of resentment, with black qi faintly visible in its eyes.
Rin emotionlessly raised her fist, Magic Power roared within her body, converging between her five fingers, her killing intent chilling.
"Wait, I am…Damn it, stop!"
Just then, Kenneth El-Melloi Archisorte's head surprisingly 'came alive,' seemingly about to say something, but Rin paid no attention, directly smashing her fist down. With a boom, Kenneth El-Melloi Archisorte's head was completely crushed, leaving only a wail.
Watching all this from the side, Jalter spotted a wisp of black qi spilling into the air, and a dark demonic flame instantly ignited and burned it away.
"Master, it's a wisp of pure, extreme malice."
"All the evils in this world…"
