Unlike "utopian manifestation," the form of "Reality Marbles" cannot be freely determined. This magecraft is a subspecies of "utopian manifestation," an enchantment that shapes the mental world of the caster and erodes the real world. Because it is formed by the sole inner side of the caster, the caster cannot exert their will on the composition of the barrier, but the "Reality Marble" can affect even unnatural things, which makes it superior to "utopian manifestation."
Originally, the "Reality Marble" was a skill that could only be manipulated by fae and demons, but after many years of magecraft used to create a personal mental world, some "magi" at the top of the world have made it possible to create a "Reality Marble." Most of the Twenty-Seven Ancestors of the Dead Apostles were able to use "Reality Marbles," but in general, there were not many magi who could perform this great magecraft that changed the world. Of course, the "projection" that Shirou possesses has long gone beyond basic "projection," and to a certain extent, it can be regarded as the ability of "material manifestation."
"Whew! A Reality Marble... And then what?" Gilgamesh crossed his hips with one hand and glanced around with disdain, not paying any attention to the swords stuck upside down in the wasteland, only thinking that they were just ornaments. "What do you think this broken mental landscape can do?" At this moment, several golden ripples rippled out behind him, and all kinds of treasures showed their edges from them.
At this moment, Shirou's eyes froze.
Whoosh————!
A sword stuck upside down in the wasteland suddenly rose from the ground and rushed towards the Noble Phantasms extending from the golden ripples with a speed that stunned Gilgamesh.
Clang, Clang————!
The clanging sound of weapons clashing sounded one after another, and a single sword destroyed all the treasures that appeared behind Gilgamesh.
"What————!?" The Noble Phantasms, which had just been taken from the King's Treasury, had been defeated so easily, and the sudden sight made Gilgamesh's expression freeze.
However, Shirou, who was standing not far away and confronting him, only spoke in a calm tone. "You don't have to be surprised. Everything here is fake, but if there are no fakes, you must be no match for the real thing, and if you are the so-called real thing, then you must be above everything and defeat them all." A cool breeze blew through Shirou's red hair, and a flame ignited in his brown pupils. "It's coming, Hero King. Is the reserve of weapons still enough?"
Hearing this, Gilgamesh couldn't help but sneer. "Hmph, don't be too arrogant, bastard!"
The next second after these words, Gilgamesh's back lit up with ripples again, and handfuls of treasures shot out of it at a rapid pace!
Whoosh————!!!
At the same time that those treasures were shooting at Shirou, the swords that were stuck upside down in the wasteland also rose from the ground at this moment, rushing straight towards the treasures projected by Gilgamesh!
Boom Boom Boom————!!!
A series of explosions sounded. Gilgamesh continued to take out treasures from the King's Treasury and projected them. The golden ripples appeared in circles and circles, and in the blink of an eye, the number had reached hundreds of treasures. At the same time, Shirou also casually pulled out two different long swords from the ground. One was pitch black and exuded coldness; it was Lancelot's Noble Phantasm, Arondight.
Like the Sword of Promised Victory, this sword is the same sword entrusted to humanity by the Lady of the Lake, and because of its same origin, its tenacity rivals that of Excalibur. The sword is engraved with faerie characters, and the blade shines like a lake under the moon and will never be destroyed. However, since Lancelot had used this sword to kill the Knights of the Round Table, he was disqualified from the status of Holy Sword and it was classified as a demonic sword.
The other is dark red all over, and there is a long blood-red crack on the sword, faintly flooded, giving people a bloodthirsty vibe. The sword's real name is Dáinsleif! It is a cursed sword possessed by the Danish king Högni in Norse mythology. This sword has a powerful curse that causes destruction, and all wielders will step towards death. It is also said that it is a demonic sword where "once it is pulled out, it will not take a person's life and will not return to the sheath."
In the story surrounding the goddess Freya, the Danish king Högni fought the famous "eternal war" with the Saracen king Hedin because of the curse of the sword. These two swords copied Shirou's magical power, and the reason was that their original products were of a high level, and both of them reached Rank A. And after being copied by Shirou, the level was reduced by one rank. But even so, it's still very powerful.
Shirou wielded these two swords and slashed at the attacking Noble Phantasms.
Clang, Clang, Clang————!!!
Although the quality of the treasures in his hands is not high, and they can't even compare with the treasures that Gilgamesh took out, Shirou's "projection" is not as simple as "projecting" someone else's treasures. As long as he has a "projected" treasure in his hand, Shirou can read the swordsmanship of the former user of that treasure! To put it simply, if Caliburn is "projected," then Shirou will be able to read the swordsmanship of Saber from the time she held that Noble Phantasm.
This ability allows Shirou to fight against any Heroic Spirit. Even if the basic attributes can be comparable, then Shirou can "copy" the enemy's treasure when he fights, and he will be able to obtain the opponent's ability to use their own weapons. In this way, he can fight against any opponent.
When Shirou destroyed all the treasures that fell from the sky, Gilgamesh, who was watching this scene from afar, had a somewhat solemn expression. "Why... The mongrel's sword will..."
"Don't you understand?" Shirou threw out Dáinsleif in his left hand at this time. The scarlet sword sliced a streak of crimson across the sky, and then exploded after colliding with those Noble Phantasms! The magical power suddenly swept away, and the treasures that were falling rapidly flew out.
Shirou, meanwhile, kept his eyes on Gilgamesh without looking up. After all, this is his space, and as long as he stays within Unlimited Blade Works, Shirou knows everything about this world. "You have countless treasures; even among the Heroic Spirits, you are at the apex. But though you are a king, you are not a warrior, and you have not chosen the path to use a single treasure to its extreme."
As he spoke, Shirou took a step towards Gilgamesh.
