["Don't forget, the thing you should imagine should be your strongest self!" Archer's voice was full of confidence and determination. "You don't need any external enemies. For you, the object of battle is nothing but your own imagination!"]
[Instantly, the battle began! Berserker swung his giant axe and attacked Archer frantically. However, Archer evaded every attack skillfully and swung his twin swords to counterattack without hesitation.]
["Clang!" The sound of metal clashing resounded through the night sky. Archer and Berserker exchanged fierce blows. Although Archer perfectly avoided the attack of the giant axe, the wind blades swept up by the manic gale still cut his cheek and shoulder armor. Blood fell and dripped onto the ground, splashing into a cluster of enchanting crimson flowers.]
["I completely avoided it, but this is the result..." Archer murmured in a low voice, his eyes flashing with determination and unyielding spirit. However, at this moment, Illya's voice sounded again: "Good job, Berserker, kill him quickly!" Her voice was full of coldness and determination, as if Archer's fate had been sealed.]

[Zhou Yu]: @Emiya (Archer), you actually fought a half-human, half-god berserker in close combat as an Archer. I can only say you are courageous!
[Gilgamesh]: @Zhou Yu, Archers should honestly use bows and arrows to attack from a distance? There is no such rule! Is the Archer class so inconvenient?
[Iskander]: Archer of the Fourth Holy Grail War, @Gilgamesh, although your Gate of Babylon is indeed a long-range Noble Phantasm, it's hard to say the weapon you used in our decisive battle was specifically an Archer's Noble Phantasm.
While the bullet comments evaluated the Archer class, the light screen continued to play.
[The Heroic Spirit Emiya (Archer) projected his twin swords again. He flexibly dodged Berserker's attacks while accumulating magical energy.]
[However, the moment he was struck by the giant axe mid-air, he had no choice but to raise his twin swords for defense. Amidst the hissing sparks, the Heroic Spirit Emiya was sent flying by a huge force. His body slammed heavily into the castle wall like a kite with a broken string, directly smashing a human-shaped crater into it.]
["So weak, you can't even make him blink?" Illya's voice was full of disdain and ridicule. "Hmph, you dare to challenge Berserker with that kind of weapon? Don't be careless, don't hesitate, Berserker, kill him directly!"]
[With blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, Archer smiled and said, "It's true to your reputation... But you're still so unforgiving, Illya." His voice was full of helplessness and a hint of fondness, as if he knew Illya's character well.]
[Illya, upon hearing this intimate name, was slightly stunned, as if the softest part of her heart had been touched.]
[However, the next second, Archer quickly stepped on the ground and chanted softly: "I am the bone of my sword. Steel is my body, and fire is my blood. I have created over a thousand blades..."]
[Accompanied by the faint chanting, magical energy surged. A pseudo-spiral sword (Caladbolg II) appeared in the Heroic Spirit Emiya's right hand. He also held a longbow in his left hand, his whole person seemingly shrouded in a sacred light.]
[The pseudo-spiral sword suddenly began to emit a dazzling light, then transformed into a arrow of light. With the action of drawing the bow and nocking the arrow, the arrow of light instantly shot out and struck the oncoming Berserker!]
["BOOM!" Blazing light suddenly filled the entire space, as if it would swallow everything. The camera zoomed out little by little, and suddenly a huge beam of light shot up from the Einzbern Castle standing quietly in the forest, illuminating the entire night sky. This battle seemed to have just begun...]
At this moment, as Archer in the picture projected the pseudo-spiral sword, audiences across various timelines were shocked.

[Flat Escardos]: Oh my god, an Archer actually uses a bow and arrow!
[Lord El-Melloi II (Waver Velvet)]: @Flat, that's not the key point, okay? The key point is that the Heroic Spirit Emiya can actually project the Noble Phantasms of other Heroic Spirits?
[Lord El-Melloi II]: @Heroic Spirit Emiya (Archer), can you project and reproduce any Noble Phantasm?
[Heroic Spirit Emiya (Archer)]: Basically, only sword-type Noble Phantasms can be used. EX-rank ones cannot be projected unless under special circumstances.
[Merlin]: So if certain conditions are met, even EX-rank Noble Phantasms can be copied? This projection magecraft is a bit too powerful.
[Tohsaka Rin]: No wonder that Goldie (Gilgamesh) keeps calling the Heroic Spirit Emiya a faker. Doesn't this look like a version of the Gate of Babylon? And he's always so angry. I'm afraid he's lost to the Heroic Spirit Emiya before.
While everyone in the bullet comments was discussing the Heroic Spirit Emiya's ability...
Timeline of the Fifth Holy Grail War. Tohsaka Residence.
Tohsaka Rin looked at Archer with a shocked expression.
"No wonder you said you could deal with Berserker. Even if Berserker has 12 lives, if you have enough magical energy, you can shoot that sword 12 times. I guess you'll win, right?"
Archer laughed when he heard Tohsaka Rin's words.
"Berserker is a half-human, half-god being. Once you damage him with a specific attack, the same method will no longer work."
After hearing Archer's words, Tohsaka Rin was obviously stunned for a moment, taking a while to react.
"In other words, to defeat Berserker, you need 12 completely different, equally powerful attacks, right?"
Archer nodded, confirming Rin's statement.
"How is this possible? This is an opponent that cannot be defeated alone!"
"No, that's not quite right. Although Berserker is very strong, his Master is much easier to deal with than he is. That is also a way to win."
