Chapter 106 - Chapter 106: Ciel

At this moment, within the light screen.

[Fujimaru Ritsuka gently opened the outer packaging of the chocolate, revealing an exquisite chocolate box before his eyes—white on the outside, deep black within.]

[The contents of the box were even more mysterious: a chocolate ball cleverly divided into two halves, one half dark brown, the other pure white as snow.]

[Arcueid's voice sounded at the right moment, adding a note to the chocolate: "This half was made by me, carrying my gratitude."]

["Though the origin of the crack is unknown, it is a very cool existence in her eyes."]

[Speaking of this, the third-stage Arcueid once again expressed her familiar sentiment: "Though we are both existences, our preferences are very different. After all, my work is superior!"]

[Noticing Fujimaru Ritsuka's gaze fixed on the black chocolate, the third-stage Arcueid quickly added: "Oh, that black chocolate is my masterpiece!"]

[Then, she parted her crimson lips: "Fujimaru Ritsuka, Happy Valentine's Day! May this beautiful moment last forever. I shall take my leave now."]

[After speaking, Arcueid turned to leave.]

[Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka hurriedly reached out to stop her: "Wait a moment!"]

[Upon hearing this, Arcueid turned back, a hint of doubt in her eyes.]

["What is it?" she asked softly.]

[Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled slightly and sincerely invited: "Would you like to taste this chocolate with me?"]

[Arcueid's cheeks flushed upon hearing this, looking somewhat surprised.]

["I... I never thought you would suggest this..."]

[Her thoughts drifted to the past, the words of the second-stage Arcueid echoing in her ears: "Arcueid once said... to spend some time together..."]

["In that case, this is the time to spend together!"]

["Then... I shall accept your invitation!" Arcueid readily agreed.]

In the world of the Fifth Holy Grail War, Cú Chulainn witnessed the scene in the video and was astonished by Fujimaru Ritsuka's actions.

This kid can easily handle Princess Arcueid!

"Incredible! This kid! Admirable!"

Cú Chulainn exclaimed sincerely.

Meanwhile, within the light screen:

The entire image froze at this moment.

Mages and Heroic Spirits across worlds witnessed this scene and discussed it animatedly.

[Bullet Comments]

[Waver Velvet: Though, this review won't end just like this, will it?]

[Flat Escardos: I want to see the battle! I want to see the Type-Moon Princess's battle scenes! I want to see how powerful she is!]

[Tōsaka Rin: It shouldn't be that short. The reviews in the light screen lately have been quite lengthy. This is probably just the beginning for us to understand Princess Arcueid. Even if it's not that long, there must be battle scenes.]

As everyone discussed, within the light screen:

[A woman with short blue hair and the appearance of a 16-year-old appeared in the center!!]

[There were marks of the Seventh Holy Scripture on her arms and back, and the emblem of the Burial Agency on her chest. Though not prominent, the video zoomed in to show it.]

Beside her, a long list of text descriptions about her appeared.

[Ciel, Agent of the Holy Church.]

[Japanese-French hybrid, aged between 16 and 18.]

[Her real name is Alicia; Ciel is her baptismal name. She is the daughter of a bakery owner in the suburbs of France.]

[Though young, she ranks seventh in the Burial Agency and possesses motor nerves worthy of pride.]

[Not only excellent combat skills. The magecraft knowledge inherited from Roa rivals that of the top mages of the Mage's Association, earning her high esteem within the Church, which superficially prohibits magecraft. Ciel herself hates reading Roa's knowledge.]

[In the Burial Agency, she is called the "Bow," an easy-to-use projectile weapon. Not only throwing swords but also firearms are equipped. It was Ciel herself who transformed the original Seventh Holy Scripture made from beast horns into this form.]

[And opposite Ciel stands a girl with light yellow, single-length hair. Her apparent age is also around 16, and the pair of golden pupils in her eyes are breathtaking!!]

[This is the Princess, Arcueid Brunestud!!]

[Princess: Arcueid Brunestud, one of the natural vampire "True Ancestors," also a "Royal." The last princess of the vampire "True Ancestor" royal family. Known as the "True Ancestor Princess." Though a vampire, she dislikes sucking blood.]

[The battle between the two is about to break out!!]

At this moment, all viewers were curious about the information revealed in the light screen.

The Princess's identity was prominent, and all viewers learned of it through the light screen.

But the Princess's enemy was no ordinary foe either.

A member of the Burial Agency!!!

Both were formidable on paper!!!

This battle promised to be thrilling!!!

Just as everyone anticipated, within the light screen:

[Ciel and Arcueid faced each other from a distance. Though several buildings separated them, they seemed to transcend space and meet each other's gaze.]

["Arcueid!" Ciel's voice was low and firm.]

[She knew her mission well—to eliminate vampires, and the opponent before her was one of the True Ancestors of vampires.]

[This was an inevitable fated duel.]

[Though there had been subtle emotional entanglements between them, and even their relationship with Tohno Shiki was quite complicated, at this moment, all that became insignificant.]

[The time for the decisive battle had come!]

[Ciel's mind stirred, and the Conceptual Weapon activated instantly.]

["The Seventh Holy Scripture!" she roared, and a massive black structure suddenly appeared behind her, like a spread wing or a giant steel hand, clinging tightly to her back.]

[The blue figure, set against the Seventh Holy Scripture, seemed transformed into a half-winged demon god, majestic and mysterious.]

At this moment, in the church of the Fifth Holy Grail War.

Witnessing this scene, Kotomine Kirei was shocked.

"The Church... actually has such a thing?" he muttered to himself, and the people in the church around him were all astounded. This scene far exceeded their imagination.

In another church, Ciel herself was also bewildered. She did possess the Seventh Holy Scripture, but it certainly didn't look like that.

At this moment, a bullet comment appeared on the light screen, drawing everyone's attention.

[Bullet Comments]

[Lord El-Melloi II: After verification, this is the Conceptual Weapon obtained by Ciel, a weapon created by the Church to critique reincarnation...]

[Lord El-Melloi II: It was originally made from the horns of spiritual beasts. After millennia of sanctification, Ciel transformed it into an iron block capable of physically destroying vampires. It is incredibly heavy and can be equipped with optional accessories, making it as ferocious as a Gatling gun. When using Arc-Drive, it fires not only stakes but also pages of the Holy Scripture. For vampires, it is like being struck by the Holy Scripture itself. It is a true "Undead Killer."]

[Lord El-Melloi II: This is my conclusion based on information from multiple sources. Though this weapon does exist, it differs from what is shown in the image—both in form and power—or it is a product of a parallel world.]

[Tōsaka Tokiomi: Such weapons are truly rare treasures!]

[Gilgamesh: Such marvelous weapons should be included in my "Gate of Babylon"!]

[Kotomine Kirei: The Seventh Holy Scripture of this parallel world was actually made by the Church?] He swallowed, both surprised and pleased. The original Seventh Holy Scripture was powerful enough; this parallel version was even more unimaginable.

[Emiya Shirō: The Church used an innocent girl as a vessel to forge such weapons? Such behavior is truly intolerable!]

[Flat Escardos: As expected of a professor, you know so much. But what should I do if I still don't understand?]

[Lord El-Melloi II: ...Leave it be, you idiot!]

Flat, who participated in the Holy Grail War in the United States, looked at the professor's comment in the light screen with a confused expression.

He truly didn't understand, and the professor refused to explain. At this moment, he could only pin his hopes on his Servant. (To read the most exciting chapters, go to Faloo Novels!)

"Mr. Jack, there are some parts I don't understand," he asked his Master, but Jack the Ripper turned into a pocket watch and remained silent.

Inside the Holy Church, there was an uproar.

This Seventh Holy Scripture was completely different from the Church's records, yet it seemed even more powerful.

Everyone secretly thought that if they could obtain this weapon, the Church's power would be further enhanced.

Meanwhile, within the light screen:

[Ciel's figure was particularly dazzling against the backdrop of the blood-red light.]

[The flashing blood-red was the manifestation of the Power of the Principle: Blood Ring.]

[This Blood Ring was a treasure Ciel plundered from the 27th Ancestor of the Dead Apostles she defeated. It contained profound mysteries such as "The City is the Kingdom," "The Sword," and "The Result."]

[Once the Principle: Blood Ring formed, it could weave grand magecraft.]

[It was like a furnace core, providing Ciel with a constant supply of magical energy, but the cost was physical fatigue and the gradual erosion of her humanity.]

[Yet, Ciel didn't care. She only craved power, yearning to defeat the enemy that troubled her—Arcueid.]

[At this moment, Ciel was striving to stimulate the Blood Ring's potential, targeting Arcueid and casting her meticulously prepared binding barrier—Towering.]

["Arcueid, I have waited too long for this day!"]

[Ciel's voice was full of determination and coldness. She wanted to completely seal this former opponent.]

[Towering used the walls of the "Church" as its foundation to construct an interwoven, indestructible spatial cage.]

[Its strength rivaled the largest tower of the Middle Ages—Atlas Cathedral. The 140-meter-high stone walls intertwined with the power of prayer to form an insurmountable barrier.]

[A purple light curtain slowly rose from the ground, surrounding Arcueid. Beneath the light curtain, red flames burned like hellfire, reflecting Arcueid's helpless figure.]

[The moment the confinement tower completed, Arcueid felt an unprecedented gravitational pressure.]

[She seemed suppressed by the entire world, unable to move at all. Finally, she could no longer bear the force and fell to the ground, a trace of blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.]

[Seeing Arcueid's disheveled state, Ciel curled her lips into a cold smile. She knew her plan had succeeded in its first step.]

["Since I have completely controlled you, let me use the strongest blow to end this battle once and for all!" Ciel's voice was full of determination and killing intent.]

[As her words fell, the Seventh Holy Scripture behind her began to undergo drastic changes.]

This scene shocked all present; they couldn't believe their eyes.

That was a True Ancestor! Suppressed by Ciel in an instant? This power was simply too terrifying! Was this a power humans could control?

The Mages were all stunned, and the priests and agents in the Cathedral Church fell into shocked silence.

They couldn't imagine a human possessing such formidable power.

And on the battlefield of the Fifth Holy Grail War:

Artoria looked at the light screen with a grave expression.

She was pondering a question: Could her Noble Phantasm split the confinement tower?

Yet, she already had the answer in her heart. This answer left her somewhat frustrated but also filled with greater admiration for Ciel's strength.

Meanwhile, within the light screen, the battle continued!

[The iron blocks of the Seventh Holy Scripture collided violently.]

[The black armed body underwent a very obvious change in appearance due to the collision.]

[The massive black object behind Ciel, like a demon's wing, gradually transformed into an assault rifle.]

[Beside the assault rifle, a chain sword over two meters long appeared!!]

[Then, before Ciel, a pile driver appeared!!]

[The three weapons collided with each other in an instant, then burst into dazzling light.]

[As the light faded, a massive bow quietly floated before Ciel!!]

[This bow was twice Ciel's size!!]

[The red, ferocious decorations on it seemed to be judging something.]

[This was the Seventh Holy Scripture's Seventh Cause of Death, Punishment of Death!!]

[Ciel reached out and slowly drew the string of this massive city-breaking crossbow.]

[It took all her strength to draw it back.]

[There was no arrow on the string, but the moment Ciel pulled it, immense magical energy gathered before the crossbow, the red light forming an attack many times more powerful than any arrow!!]

[Though this was an attack requiring eye-aiming, Ciel closed her eyes.]

[Her target, Arcueid, was now imprisoned within Towering.]

[Ciel knew everything about the situation inside!!]

[Thus, closing her eyes to aim would ensure the most accurate hit!!]

[With this thought, Ciel released the bowstring.]

[A massive, dazzling red light, carrying power sufficient to shatter a city, shot toward Arcueid within Towering!!]
