Chapter 147 - [147] True Name Release Myself? After a moment of heavy silence, Sakatsuki let out a soft sigh and murmured. "The Counter Force..." In this world, Shirou was just a child. If there was someone who resembled Sakatsuki besides himself, then there was only one answer. A Servant sent by the Counter Force, Archer EMIYA, also known as the future version of Shirou Emiya from a parallel world who became a Guardian. The reason for Archer's appearance was also clear. After all, Sakatsuki's very existence was an anomaly, and it was only natural that it would draw the attention of the Counter Force. But this raised new questions— First, as far as Sakatsuki knew, Archer didn't use illusions. Second, in his memory, Archer mostly used fakes. Even if he had a lance, it shouldn't have been something that would attract the Conqueror's desire. Most importantly—what was going on with his memories? After dealing with the shadow Servants in the forest, how had Archer managed to make him join the King's Banquet without him even realizing it? Though there were many doubts, aside from Archer... he couldn't think of any other possibility. It couldn't simply be his future self—this, Sakatsuki was absolutely certain of. Otherwise, things wouldn't have been as simple as "taking Miyu away." Only a Servant from the Emiya line would show such unyielding kindness, and only they could have taken Miyu away without any resistance. After all, he wasn't the true "Great Hero" either. Though there were still many points worth pondering, now wasn't the time for deep thought. Sakatsuki's eyes sharpened, and he abruptly twisted the handle. If the one who took Miyu was Archer, then at least he didn't have to worry about her safety. Even so, tonight's actions wouldn't change. Defeat three Servants, fulfill Archer's request, and then take Miyu back in his own way! "Let's go, Conqueror. Let's settle this with our second race!" "Oh, you're fired up now! Then I won't hold back either!" This time, it was Sakatsuki who took the lead, with Iskandar hot on his heels. Having already experienced a chase, neither of them held back. At a certain moment, both acted simultaneously. Now! "Roar, Gordius Wheel!" "Imaginary Numbers Pocket, open!" Thunder roared as the divine bulls' hooves struck the ground, sending purple lightning crashing toward the vehicle ahead. The realm of imaginary numbers manifested, spewing forth countless weapons, as if the 'Gate of Babylon' had opened, unleashing a dense barrage of projectiles toward the rear. Faced with the overwhelming lightning, Satsuki had no room to escape. Confronted with the torrent of weapons, the massive Gordius Wheel couldn't avoid them entirely. But that didn't mean they were out of options. "True Name Release! Break through the shackles, for only I can chase glory's end on the eve of the Lord's birth!—Draw, Sword in the Stone!" Red lines began to spread, covering the entire motorcycle like a layer of photon blood. With it came a sudden surge in bike's speed. The purple lightning chased for a while before futilely striking the road, leaving behind craters in its wake. As Sakatsuki evaded the lightning, Iskandar also made his move. If he couldn't dodge, he would use sheer force to conquer and breakthrough! "Too weak! Such weapons can't possibly stop us. Watch as I crush them all!" The lightning surged, wrapping around Iskandar and the Gordius Wheel like armour, propelling them forward like a cannonball. They smashed through the barrage of weapons, their speed undiminished as they closed in on Satsuki. "He's catching up... Hmph, let's end this quickly." There was no need to adjust his angle; the relentless lightning behind him had already turned the rearview mirror into a blinding white. Though he wanted to settle the speed contest with Iskandar, his own mana reserves were always a concern. Considering the Servant he would have to face next, Sakatsuki glanced back at the Conqueror and decisively twisted the handle, heading straight for the city streets. "Changing direction so suddenly? Is it time for the final battle?" A seasoned warrior, Iskandar had a keen sense for decisive battles. As a king, he would never refuse a challenge. Seeing the young man on the motorcycle charge into the city streets, heading straight for a tall building without looking back, Rider didn't hesitate and followed closely. "Don't disappoint me, Sakatsuki!" As Sakatsuki approached the building, he lifted the handlebars slightly, causing the front wheel to rise. At that moment, he shot up the building's exterior, climbing vertically! "Increase mana output!" The red light intensified. If anyone in the city had looked up at the building, they would have been shocked to see a straight red line rising from the ground, as if splitting the building in two! Hundreds of meters were covered in an instant. By the time Iskandar reached the building, Sakatsuki's motorcycle had already flipped over the edge, landing steadily on the rooftop, now level with Rider on the Gordius Wheel. As their eyes met, Iskandar's face broke into a fierce grin. "Charge forth, to the distant horizon! Via Expugnatio!" This was Iskandar's Noble Phantasm, the root of his existence as a Rider—a combination of the Gordius Wheel and the divine bulls. With the mystery of Zeus's sacred artifact and the divine bulls' lineage, Via Expugnatio possessed the power of an anti-army Noble Phantasm. Its crushing force had even severely injured Berserker in the original story, forcing him to retreat. Now, with its True Name released, Via Expugnatio's power would only be greater! Can you handle this, Caster's Master? Iskandar stared at the figure dismounting his ride, recalling what Waver had told him before they left. "So far, Sakatsuki has revealed many abilities, but they can be summarized as follows..." "First, his Reality Marble, which requires some time to activate. It's his most powerful ability." "Second, the various arrows he shoots with his iron bow. Among them, the Cadabolg II arrow, which requires no charging and has considerable power, is worth noting." "Then, there are his various high-level magecraft techniques: projection, displacement, imaginary numbers... Too little information has been revealed, making it hard to define them precisely." "The use of Broken Phantasms is an outlier, but even Sakatsuki wouldn't use them recklessly. It's an insult to Servants, and frequent use would earn him the enmity of others." "In conclusion, Rider, if you want to defeat Sakatsuki, here's a method..." "The Army of the King? No, Sakatsuki also has a Reality Marble." "What you need to do is charge! Charge at full speed, then use your Noble Phantasm to deal a heavy blow!" "Rho Aias is only highly effective against thrown weapons. His Reality Marble takes time to activate. The Cadabolg II's power can be neutralized by the Gordius Wheel's lightning. Even if Sakatsuki uses displacement magecraft to escape, as long as he remains within sight, with Rider's mobility, you can quickly close the distance and launch another attack!" "In this way, Sakatsuki has no choice but to either take the hit or flee!" The memory faded, and Iskandar stared at Sakatsuki ahead, his eyes burning with the certainty of victory. "My strategist (Master) has calculated all your moves. You have no way out, Sakatsuki!" "Oh, really? What about this?" Sakatsuki's voice came from beyond the lightning, and at the same time, Rider clearly saw the young man holding a sword in his hand. *** Hey readers! Want to read ahead? ????
