"Besides that, there are some Heroic Spirits who have no relation to me."
Listening to Artoria's description, Rin knew she was referring to Heroic Spirits who weren't King Arthur but looked very similar to her.
For these types of Heroic Spirits, Type-Moon fans have a special name, Saber-face.
"Not only variations of King Arthur, but even similar-looking Heroic Spirits can be summoned."
"Tsk tsk tsk, this skill is quite fierce."
Artoria felt a bit embarrassed by Rin's evaluation.
Fortunately, Rin didn't ask Artoria to perform it for him on the spot.
Otherwise, Artoria would probably have been mortified.
The conservative Artoria simply couldn't handle it.
"Cough, cough."
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore."
Rin sighed, "Let's talk about Independent Existence."
"From the description, it should have evolved from the ability of Avalon's scabbard, right?"
"Yes."
Artoria also felt that this Unique Skill was very much like cheating: "The effect of Independent Existence means I permanently gain the scabbard's blessing."
"It will significantly increase my immunity and resistance."
As for how much it increases, it's hard to describe directly, but it's quite substantial.
"Furthermore, it makes me immune to fatal effects from any power except Ultimate Skills."
"What does that mean?"
"To kill you, one must use an Ultimate Skill?" Rin asked curiously.
"Mm."
"Only Ultimate Skills can cause crippling or fatal damage to me."
"..."
Alright, Rin was truly speechless this time.
He really wanted to complain that this Unique Skill was probably pulled out of the Voice of the World's butt.
It's too outrageous!
Saber, possessing this skill.
As a Hero, she immediately ignores all monsters except the Seven Great Demon Lords.
"Good thing you're on our side."
Rin couldn't imagine what kind of cheating ability such a Unique Skill would become if it evolved into an Ultimate Skill.
An impenetrable defense is one thing.
Even if it's penetrated, as long as it's not an Ultimate Skill, even a lethal amount of damage is useless.
And simple injuries, with Avalon's blessing, Artoria will recover quickly.
There will be no more situations like being stabbed by the Yellow Rose of Mortality and being unable to heal due to a curse.
The more Rin thought about it, the more he felt the malice from the Voice of the World.
He felt that this was likely a power created by the Cardinal World to save itself and suppress the monster race.
It's just because of some unknown reason...
Well, because of Violet, such a powerful Hero template ended up under Rin's command.
A bug Hero belongs to a Demon Lord.
It's truly a dark joke.
"Suddenly, I feel that even if you acquire another abnormal skill, I won't be surprised."
Rin looked at Saber's last skill: "Star Holy Sword, Thirteen Restraints."
"Is this the one I know?"
The Anti-Star Noble Phantasm in Type-Moon, the Star Holy Sword.
Forged by fairies, it is the ultimate weapon of salvation specifically designed to deal with the Star-Eating Beast.
It is said to possess the terrifying power to cleave planets.
"If it can cleave planets in the Type-Moon World, then here..."
After Rin's careful inquiry, he found that releasing the restraints of the Star Holy Sword was very difficult.
The power of this sword can hardly be used for active conquest and invasion.
Only when under invasion can its power be displayed.
And the more desperate the situation, the stronger the power that the Star Holy Sword can unleash.
Ultimately, if all thirteen restraints are released, Artoria can even gather the power of all her companions to unleash an unimaginable strike.
However, the Star Holy Sword is not only Saber's power but also Rin's power.
Because of this, the Star Holy Sword requires Rin's permission to be unleashed.
In a way, this nuclear weapon is held in Rin's hands.
"It feels like a trump card that can be used to turn the tide in a desperate situation."
Rin noticed that the Star Holy Sword skill does not belong to the General, Extra, Unique, or Ultimate skill ranks.
It is a skill that continuously improves as its owner becomes stronger.
Even in the future, if Artoria truly obtains an Ultimate Skill, the amplification of the Star Holy Sword will still stack on top of the Ultimate Skill.
In this regard, it shares a similar principle with God's Rings and Command Spells.
"So, Special Skills and Exclusive Skills are actually the same."
"The only difference between the two is that one can be possessed by multiple people, while the other belongs to only one person."
Rather than saying they are skills of a certain rank.
It is better to say that they are support-type skills that amplify by percentage.
"Violet."
Rin connected with Violet, asking about the limit of the Star Holy Sword: "If Artoria awakens as a True Hero and then uses the Star Holy Sword with all thirteen seals released, how strong would it be?"
[Capable of destroying the world]
"..."
What else could Rin say?
All thirteen seals released means that Rin's side has already fallen into an irreversible crisis.
Not only has their home base been taken by the enemy.
Perhaps even Rin himself has entered a critically wounded state.
Facing such a formidable enemy, it's perfectly fine for Artoria to save the world with a single sword, right?
Besides, world-destroying level is nothing.
In the original work, if the Fairy Queen had not intervened in the great battle between Milim and Guy, the final outcome would also have been the destruction of the world.
"Special A-Rank magicules, three Unique Skills, two bug abilities."
Rin didn't know how to evaluate it, he could only say that Artoria had the qualifications to enter the first echelon under Rin's command.
Besides, Rin also noticed a piece of information.
[Obtained new information 'Heroic Spirit', now integrated with the Cardinal World's concepts of 'Elemental, 'Demonic species', 'Angel']
[Parallel creation successful, obtained new race 'Holy Spirit']
"Holy Spirit?"
If it were just a simple new race, Rin wouldn't think much of it.
But the description here was clearly somewhat special.
In the Cardinal World, spiritual beings other than material life mainly consist of three categories, Elemental, Demonic species, and Angels.
However, Artoria's appearance added a completely new type of spiritual being, the Holy Spirit.
Not Heroic Spirits, but a new race born from Type-Moon Heroic Spirits merged with the rules of the Voice of the World.
