Reborn with Steve Stand

Chapter 806: Holy Grail Appears!

"Excalibur!!!"

With a mighty shout, an endless torrent of light surged forward.

"Hmm?"

Fang Mo immediately noticed the incoming attack.

He waved his hand, and countless ripples behind him unleashed suppressive fire.

While these military-grade weapons were effective against most Noble Phantasms, they struggled to hold back Saber’s full-powered attack. After all, this was an A++ ranked Noble Phantasm, 'Excalibur', the Sword of Promised Victory, a weapon forged from the planet’s will and faith.

Moreover, Fang Mo wasn’t going all out.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the overwhelming light plowed through the barrage of firepower and engulfed Fang Mo completely.

Amidst the blinding white light, they could see a figure being rapidly erased.

"We won!"

Shirou Emiya finally exhaled in relief. It seemed the terrifying demon had been defeated at last. Although they had paid a heavy price, they had successfully thwarted his ambitions.

"..."

However, Rin Tohsaka’s expression was more complicated.

They had won, but she felt a strange emptiness inside her, as if something important was missing. For some reason, she felt a bit lost.

"Archer-sama!"

In stark contrast, Matou Sakura was devastated. Seeing the scene unfold, she let out a scream and rushed recklessly toward the beam of light.

"Sakura! Don’t go!"

Rin snapped out of her daze and called after her.

But Shirou Emiya was quicker. He sprinted forward, and the two of them tumbled to the ground, just a step away from the light of 'Excalibur'.

"Senpai! Let me go!"

Sakura struggled desperately, her hand reaching out toward Fang Mo’s figure in the light, tears welling in her eyes. "Please! Let me save Archer-sama!"

"Sakura! Calm down!"

Shirou Emiya held her wrist firmly. "Adolf has been defeated!"

As Shirou spoke, the light gradually faded, leaving only a massive trench in the ground. There was nothing else.

"A...Archer-sama..."

Sakura stared blankly at the trench, but apart from a few wisps of smoke, nothing remained.

Not far away, Saber, having exhausted all her magical energy, nearly collapsed. She supported herself with her sword, panting heavily. "It’s finally... over?" ŕâΝỖΒËŠ

"It’s over..."

Rin muttered to herself.@@@@

The battlefield before her had been completely wiped clean, but something still didn’t feel right. It was as if she had forgotten something crucial.

"No! It’s not over!"

Suddenly, Sakura snapped out of her despair. "My Archer-sama is invincible! He won’t die!"

As she shouted, Sakura raised her arm high, revealing the Command Seals on her hand, still intact and unaffected.

"...Huh?"

Rin noticed this too and immediately realized something. Her expression hardened, and she shouted at Shirou, "No! Shirou, get back!"

"What?"

Shirou blinked in confusion.

Then, they heard the sound of footsteps—leather shoes tapping on the ground.

Shirou instinctively turned his head, only for a foot to smash into his chin. With a loud 'thud', he was sent flying backward, landing near Rin.

"Gah..."

Though everything seemed absurd, there was an undeniable truth: they were being pushed to the brink. Even Illyasviel had been forced to reveal herself, using magic to assist in the fight.

And standing before Rin was the smiling figure of Fang Mo, the Emperor of his empire.

Though none of his soldiers attacked her directly, Rin could barely breathe under the pressure.

This was his true power—summoning an army, wielding weapons, and buildings as Noble Phantasms, all while having an additional life. Meanwhile, Rin and her allies were on the verge of collapse.

Faced with such a monster, Rin couldn’t imagine how they could win.

"What’s wrong, Rin?"

Fang Mo noticed her hesitation and teased, "Didn’t you say you’d win? Are you giving up already?"

"Who said anything about giving up!"

Rin gritted her teeth. No matter the odds, she had to fight.

She tightened her grip on her jeweled sword and assumed a combat stance. "I’ll show you the pinnacle of the Tohsaka family’s gem magecraft!"

"Alright, alright."

Fang Mo chuckled, spreading his arms wide. "Come on then, hit me!"

"..."

Rin didn’t respond, rushing forward instead.

But just as she was about to strike, the battlefield shifted again. Aki Hayakawa suddenly froze, his back struck by two daggers.

"What!?"

Shirou, who was on the brink of defeat, was shocked.

A moment later, he saw none other than Kirei Kotomine, who had seemingly returned from the dead, attacking Fang Mo’s soldiers.

"You’re that priest from earlier?"

Shirou wanted to ask, but Kotomine cut him off. "There’s no time for that. Let’s deal with this would-be world conqueror first."

"I understand..."

Despite his confusion, Shirou nodded.

Thanks to Kotomine’s assistance, Shirou became the first to break through, defeating Aki Hayakawa. Aki turned into a flash of light and disappeared.

With this, the tide seemed to turn in their favor. Strangely, Fang Mo hadn’t directly attacked Rin, allowing her to survive, while his soldiers were picked off one by one.

Soon, it was once again Fang Mo against all of them.

"It’s over, Adolf!"

Shirou called out, "Stop struggling—you’ve lost!"

"I am the bone of my sword..."

Meanwhile, Archer, ever the pragmatist, began preparing his ultimate move, intending to deploy his 'Unlimited Blade Works' to crush Fang Mo.

But before he could finish his chant, Fang Mo suddenly moved.

This time, his attack was terrifying. He raised his hand in a throwing motion, and in an instant, a blinding flash of white light pierced Archer’s chest and carved a deep trench into Mount Enzou, disappearing into the horizon.

"What... what was that!?"

"Archer!"

Everyone’s faces turned pale. What kind of power was that?

"Don’t worry, just a fragment of 'Rhongomyniad'," Fang Mo said nonchalantly. "Since it’s a god-slaying spear, a bit more power is to be expected, right?"

"..."

At this point, everyone was feeling hopeless. How many trump cards did he have left?

But just then, with Archer’s defeat, the conditions for the Holy Grail’s descent were met. A surge of magic filled the air.

Without warning, the sky darkened, and clouds gathered ominously.

The golden Holy Grail began to descend.
