Then, with a fierce smile, Rider stepped onto Bucephalus, who had been waiting for him, and drew the spatha at his waist.
"Assemble, my compatriots! Tonight, our bravery will leave the strongest legend!"
The wind of hot sand seemed to echo the King's call, blowing away the mist from the river and rushing up the bridge. Gathered from the other side of time and space, the thoughts of the Heroic Spirits who once shared the same dream with the King are gathering and forming under the Macedonian longsword. The endless sky, the horizon hazy in the heat; anyone could give their heart to it. The hearts of the brave who yearn for the battlefield have traveled through time and space, eroded reality, and turned the uninhabited bridge into a whirlwind ravaging a great plain.
Immediately afterward, the Heroic Spirits on horseback began to ride onto the stage of the decisive battle. For Waver, it was the second time he had seen the majesty of Ionioi Hetairoi, and although he was no longer surprised, he was in awe as he understood the meaning of the ultimate Noble Phantasm, which was the embodiment of Iskandar's royal way.
The elite of the golden cavalry once formed a master-servant bond with the King of Conquest, crossing even the separation between the present world and the reverse side of the world. Their battlefields are elevated to eternity, without the need to choose a place of manifestation. As long as the King of Conquest once again raises the banner of hegemony, his courtiers will follow him to the ends of the earth. That is the glory of being with the King. It was the joy of blood born of fighting side by side.
"The enemy is King Arthur of Britain! As an opponent without equal, soldiers, show the other side our hegemony!"
"Oooo!! Oooo!"
With Iskandar's roar, the troops present also boiled. The Rider, who was in the lead, roared, and the cavalry responded. Even Waver let out a faint cry and joined the roaring chorus of the raging waves.
"Oh oh ahhh!!!"
I saw a burst of flying sand and rocks as Ionioi Hetairoi rushed over with earth-shattering momentum. In the face of such a huge army, even Saber couldn't help but be a little nervous. Although she has the strongest protection of Avalon, which allows her to avoid all damage, her magical power is limited no matter how powerful the treasure is. All it would take is one attack after another to drain her mana and crush her in one fell swoop.
Even if she used the Sword of Promised Victory, the huge outpouring of energy could not wipe out the entire army at once, and then she would face the dilemma of running out of magical power. If she didn't use her Noble Phantasm, with Saber's current strength, to be honest, she would have no resistance against a whole group of warriors who were not inferior to her.
However, Shirou, who was behind her, stepped forward without fear, stood beside Saber, and spoke with some curiosity.
"I wonder what happens if you use a Reality Marble inside a Reality Marble?"
"Huh?" Saber was stunned for a moment when she heard Shirou's words. But the next moment, her eyes widened. I saw that the Reality Marble that had been built began to collapse at this moment.
"What's going on!?"
Some of the generals in the marching army were already keenly aware of the vision in the sky. The sky, which was originally full of white clouds and a calm breeze, appeared at this moment to have cracks shining one after another.
"What's going on!?"
Rider also noticed this and looked at the sky suspiciously. Then, suddenly realizing something, he withdrew his gaze and looked straight ahead. At the end of the field, a young man stood in front of him, alone before the thousands of horses, and raised his right hand without fear. In the eyes of the young man, what appeared was not thousands of troops, but a reflection of the world!
The magical energy turned into a violent wind, enveloping his form. With the dazzling light of blue magic, all the scenes in the King's army gradually changed at this moment!
"I am the bone of my sword."
The clouds in the sky changed, and the desert covered with yellow sand began to be overwritten rapidly on all sides along with the sand under Shirou's feet! Even Rider seemed to be aware that his mental world was being altered.
"Sure enough, the one who used a Reality Marble last night was him..." Rider suddenly remembered what he had observed yesterday.
In this way, Assassin's defeat was not in vain. That being said, it didn't mean that Iskandar would be intimidated; his high-pitched voice called out the signal for attack, and the inspired army quickened its advance! At this moment, the recitation of the incantation from Shirou's mouth had come to an end.
"Waiting for one's arrival."
A wasteland full of "swords" directly covered and replaced the desert in an instant.
"I have no regrets. This is the only path."
The sky became extremely clear, and white clouds drifted across the bright firmament.
"My whole life was Unlimited Blade Works!"
With the last incantation chanted, Shirou waved his arms!
"King of Conquest, come and see the world of my Unlimited Blade Works!!"
At this moment, the entire world has been replaced!! The army of the World King, the mental image constructed by the King of Conquest, Iskandar, has been overwritten by Shirou. However, not all of them were replaced because the collision between Reality Marbles depends on which side has stronger beliefs. And since the belief of the King of Conquest could not be so easily overwritten, Iskandar and his army—although the circumstances of their existence had changed—were not affected themselves. They had simply changed positions from a desert to a wasteland full of swords.
"Hmph! It's just a matter of covering my original Reality Marble. The most important thing about my King's army is not the scenery, but my soldiers who swear to follow me to the death!" Iskandar said loudly with pride.
"No, of course it won't be just that," Shirou said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, he slammed his right hand outstretched and then raised it to the sky! In an instant, hundreds of swords in the wasteland let out a trembling sound, and they rose from the ground one after another, rushing into the sky!
Whoosh————!!!
"That's————!?" Rider frowned, looked at the sky, and vaguely sensed something.
"Go!" Shirou suddenly shouted.
Momentarily, the swords that rushed into the sky turned around and rushed straight at the army below!
