Chapter 113 What doesn’t kill me only makes me stronger!!
Amidst the Thunderous Roar, Noah’s chanting voice, not particularly high-pitched, pierced through all obstacles and spread in all directions, as if echoing in the ears of every onlooker.
“Dedicating innocence, burning away purity…”
The golden sky, shrouded in sunset, suddenly distorted, as if the entire world was shaking.
“Archer!”
“Rider!”
“Saber!”
“Lancer!”
“Stop him!”
In an instant, as Noah emanated immense Mana, all the Masters present unconsciously gave orders.
Since the battle at the seaside park, this mysterious Servant, with unknown identity, Master, abilities, and purpose, and could only be considered a Berserker, had become the most dangerous opponent in everyone’s eyes.
Although they didn’t know what he was trying to do, a strong sense of unease, almost suffocating, arose in their hearts.
They couldn’t let him achieve his goal!
Before the Masters’ intentions were conveyed, the Servants launched their Offensive Arts.
“Bastard! You’ll never succeed!”
Countless golden ripples twisted, forming numerous glittering star clusters.
The inevitable Lancer, the holy sword that slew dragons, the demonic blade that killed gods… one after another, these precious Noble Phantasms, like machine gun bullets, drew a Fundamental line in the air that was impossible to track.
Swords, guns, and spears fell like meteors, effortlessly tearing through the sound barrier.
But the next moment, when the silver hero swung his sword wrapped in Electric Arcs, weaving a sword barrier of sound and light, all these dazzling Offensive Arts were completely blocked.
The thunderous explosion sound, accompanied by the wailing of the air, continued to echo, spreading far and wide.
Although the momentum was enormous, it all ended in vain, making Gilgamesh’s expression even more unsightly.
“……Play the melody of Blood, sing the nursery rhyme of death!”
What followed was not the agile Lancer, but the Battle Chariot of the twin bulls, shaking the earth, each hoof crushing the ground.
Wrapped in purple lightning, Iskandar (Rider), standing at the forefront of the Battle Chariot, was like a rock, advancing with an unstoppable attitude, like a moving fortress.
Rider himself, like Archer, is a servant who emphasizes the importance of Noble Phantasm, and his combat power is at its peak when riding the Battle Chariot.
Considering the issues of speed and accuracy, this attack method’s killing power may not be that strong, but its fierce impact is far beyond what Gilgamesh’s Offensive Arts can match.
Anyone with a rational mind would know that avoiding it is the most reasonable choice, including Noah…
But this time, Noah chose to charge forward!
The silver great sword was held in front of him, facing the attack head-on without dodging, like a raging bull’s iron hooves trampling the earth!
A terrifying explosion erupted, and the surging Mana Electric Arc annihilated the flying debris, once again devastating the earth.
The Electric Arc surged forward, instantly engulfing the entire chariot, and then violently overturned it!
Iskandar (Rider) showed no signs of cowardice, letting out a low growl as he tightly grasped the reins with his rough, hardened hands, regaining control of the panicked divine bull.
Accompanied by the shockwave, the dazzlingly bright Mana light exploded before him, forcing even Iskandar (Rider) to squint, while Waver was left crying out in pain.
“Hey! Berserker! Your parameters have increased too much, haven’t they?”
However, Noah had no time or energy to chat with him.
This was not only because he was withstanding the enemy’s Noble Phantasm, but also because he had already sensed a strong, piercing pain coming from behind him.
No good!
My waist!
“The gods sing in unison, all things rejoice, with a sound that resonates throughout the heavens, welcoming my downfall…”
With his muscles tense, Noah let out a roar from his throat for the first time, mobilizing the surging Mana throughout his body to drive his Magic as a Strength Blessing.
With all his might, Noah barely managed to shift the sword blade, exposing the hilt.
In the instant Noah moved his body away, the crimson Lancer, which had pierced through the void, followed closely, striking the hilt with great precision.
In that moment, it was as if a firing pin had struck the primer, and the silver great sword, which had gained the Lancer’s piercing Strength Blessing, suddenly broke through the stalemate.
The sword blade flew like a meteor, piercing the bull’s neck and then slashing towards Iskandar (Rider)’s head.
If it weren’t for the fact that this muscular man had dodged with agility that belied his size at the last moment, he would have been beheaded.
Even so, Iskandar (Rider)’s face was still gouged out with large chunks of flesh, leaving behind a gruesome and ghastly wound.
“Gather darkness, obey the primal fire’s destiny, and bestow death with a loving heart…”
Having gained freedom, Noah didn’t bother with Iskandar (Rider) and instead turned to look at Scáthach, whose crimson eyes showed a hint of astonishment due to being hit by an ally affected by Offensive Arts, and punched out with a clenched fist!
“Boom!”
A fist stronger than a war hammer pierced the sound barrier and struck Scáthach’s flat abdomen, which was wrapped in a tight bodysuit!
With a “crack” sound, Scáthach’s beautiful face contorted in Distortion and a fierce grimace, and her entire body flew backward like a torn rag.
“…Pave the way for the future, and become the embers of an unknown dawn!”
After instantly repelling all the enemies, Noah looked at Artoria, who was the only one who hadn’t acted yet.
Despite possessing the best close-combat abilities, she didn’t launch a strong attack, but instead dispelled the Invisible Air (Barrier of the Wind King).
At the tip of her raised sword, golden fantasy starlight intertwined.
“EX…”
Artoria believed she understood Noah’s strength better than anyone present and instinctively sensed that his Noble Phantasm would be extraordinary.
Therefore, even with limited Mana after switching Masters, she didn’t hesitate to launch her ultimate attack!
“…Cabilur!”
As the Mana convergence approached in a torrent of light, Noah completed his incantation with an unwavering expression.
“Elegy of Light!!”
In the next instant, the world’s laws were altered and overturned.
It was as if Heaven and Earth had been reversed, time and space distorted, and the intense discomfort of the world’s transformation filled everyone’s senses.
When they came to, their surroundings had been completely transformed.
“The sea?”
The moist, cool, and clear air dispersed the explosion’s smoke, and before them lay a deep, yet crystal-clear, azure ocean.
Not a single wave disturbed its surface, calm as a newly opened silver mirror, stretching out to the horizon, endless and boundless.
The pale blue sky was as pure as jade, without the sun, moon, or cloud cover, yet it radiated a faint, ethereal light from an unknown source.
It was unclear whether the sky was blue because of the ocean or if the sea appeared vast due to the sky, but the world was immersed in an expansive, deep blue hue, as if time and space had lost all meaning.
“What is this?”
“Inherent Barrier?”
“Are you kidding? Isn’t he a Berserker?!”
If anyone at the scene was most shocked by the sight before them, it would undoubtedly be the Clock Tower student, Waver Velvet.
Whether in the Age of the Gods or the Modern era, Inherent Barrier is a renowned Magecraft.
It erodes reality with the world of one’s imagination, almost akin to creating a small world entirely under its control.
Such a Miracle cannot be replicated through effort alone; it can only be reached by innate talent or a rare chance.
This seemingly simpleton, musclebound warrior actually wields Inherent Barrier?
This fact floored Waver, but the boundless azure sea swirling around him wasn’t a fabrication.
“Cater I can understand, but why Berserker?! He shouldn’t be the most detached from Magecraft, right?”
Compared to the danger within Inherent Barrier, Waver was more concerned about his Magus viewpoint being shaken.
“You imp! Such a ruckus, so undignified! At the very least, be more composed, you’re my master!”
Though Iskandar (Rider) had slapped Waver around, he subconsciously touched his neck, which had already returned to normal, still shaken by almost being beheaded.
Servants might be composed of Mana, making their recovery swift, but getting hit in the heart or head would still result in a game over.
I guess Rider shouldn’t engage in Close-Combat, better provoke someone else to fight this Monster first.
After all, 3 Riders are here, why should I, a single Rider, charge ahead?!
Thinking this, Iskandar (Rider), while the others remained silent and wary, called out to Noah in the distance.
“Hey! Kid! Is your Inherent Barrier just for show? Why don’t you use it?”
The other 3 Servants perked up, ready to catch every word Noah uttered next.
The unknown is always the most terrifying and worrisome, no one knows what Noah is up to this time.
Moreover, Inherent Barrier, whenever it appears, it’s never simple.
Before figuring out what’s real and what’s not, they all wanted to see if anyone else would make a move.
After recalling his silver sword, Noah stood there calmly, gazing around with a hint of wonder.
“I do have some skills, but compared to the rest of you, it’s better to experience it firsthand? Oh, remember to have your master stay steady, if he falls down, I won’t be responsible.”
Fall down?
Both Iskandar (Rider) and Waver instinctively looked down at the Battle Chariot.
Looking around, they saw the clear, deep blue sea, but when they looked down, they found it was as dark as an infinite abyss.
Just seeing it makes people feel fear that the soul will be sucked into it.
“Hey! Boy!”
Iskandar (Rider) was fine, but Waver was stunned, unable to snap out of it, and only came back to his senses after being slapped repeatedly.
His face turned pale, his Breathing Technique was rapid, and he was drenched in sweat.
The 3 riders had known about the unusual properties of the seawater beneath their feet since earlier, but they weren’t sure what its effects were.
Although it seemed to have some unusual magical properties, it didn’t appear to have any Offensive Arts capabilities.
Should they test it out?
As they thought about this, Artoria and Scáthach unconsciously looked at Gilgamesh.
This guy had a plethora of Noble Phantasms at his disposal; if he didn’t take the lead, who would?
Not just the two of them, but the Rider duo, who had snapped out of their daze, also instinctively turned their gaze towards him.
His eyebrows twitched violently, but Gilgamesh still mobilized his Mana and opened around ten Babylonian gates.
Although his idea of letting someone else test it out first had fallen through, now that everyone was watching, he couldn’t just pretend to be dead.
Noble Phantasms were unleashed in rapid succession, flying at high speed and engulfing Noah in a series of explosions and turbulent waves.
However, this time, everyone furrowed their brows, revealing a hint of incredulity.
Once the smoke cleared and Noah’s figure reappeared, he was covered in blood, his body riddled with wounds.
Earlier, Noah had taken Gilgamesh’s dozens of Noble Phantasms head-on without any resistance.
Why?
Why didn’t he defend himself?
A barrage of Noble Phantasms like that should have been easily defensible for him!
As everyone was perplexed by Noah’s bizarre actions, Gilgamesh’s angry voice suddenly rang out.
“You punk! What’s going on with my Noble Phantasms?! What kind of nonsense are you pulling?!”
Gilgamesh’s Noble Phantasm barrage had been used in many battles, and its incredible Attack Method had everyone on high alert, yet no one could find a way to break through or counter it, and they could only resort to using strong martial arts to withstand it.
But now, they seemed to hear a hint of panic, even fear, in Gilgamesh’s angry voice.
The clear water rippled, pouring a massive amount of Mana into Noah’s body, slowly healing his injuries.
“People tend to polarize light and darkness, but this is a foolish idea, for in a world with light, darkness already existed, and one could say that darkness is the origin of all things in this world…”
Gazing at Gilgamesh, Noah raised the weapon in his hand, and his handsome face radiated an aura of eerie and astonishing magic that sent shivers down one’s spine.
“……So where can we go? We’ll just return to the darkness, that’s all!”
There were no fools in this Barrier, and everyone could understand the implications of Noah’s words.
The thought sent chills down their spines – could the purpose of this Barrier be to devour all of the Enemy’s Offensive Arts and make them its own?
That would be terrifying!
But someone thought of the injuries on Noah’s body and the darkness in their heart was dispelled.
No way!
As long as they could kill the master of this Barrier, they could dispel it!
Gilgamesh was the first to make a move!
Over a hundred golden Ripples appeared, like a suspended sun, and the light was so intense that it almost turned the blue sky into a sea of golden flames!
If it was just a matter of devouring Noble Phantasms, that would be somewhat acceptable to Gilgamesh.
After all, even he had forgotten how many treasures and Noble Phantasms were in his treasury.
As long as he killed this kid, everything would be his again!
However, this time, after the thunderous explosion, Noah reappeared in front of everyone, unscathed.
Yet, just a moment ago, everyone had seen Noah accept the Noble Phantasm’s Offensive Arts without any resistance, just like last time.
In an instant, everyone had a guess.
“That’s it!”
“Could it be?!”
“What a joke?!”
Every time he entered this Barrier, the darkness deep within Noah would be unleashed.
So, he didn’t plan to waste any more time and revealed a smile filled with the intent to kill.
“That’s right! I’m immune to Offensive Arts! Within this Barrier, all Offensive Arts can only harm me once! Your Noble Phantasms will only have one chance to attack! If you don’t kill me, they’ll become my strength and lose their effect forever!”
With a swing of his sword, Electric Arcs scattered, and Noah charged forward like a Battle Chariot, creating a massive wave in his wake.
In that turbulent wave, the crowd seemed to see countless figures appear and disappear.
A sword pierced his chest!
His body was engulfed in flames!
A boulder crushed him!
A dragon’s jaws bit him!
Countless arrows pierced his body!
…Those were countless Noahs, all heavily injured!
“Everything that can’t kill me will only make me stronger!!”
