Chapter 176:
It was a beautiful sight, the flaming wreckage of a Noble Phantasm fortress falling from the heavens. How ironic that my fake Laevatein took out a fortress that could almost be like Asgard if you squint hard enough.
A reenactment of Myth?
It was possible that such an action had an effect on the actualization of the Phantasm, to produce a more powerful attack.
This was my first time casting this spell, there were many things I needed to go over and tweak for the future. It was actually Scáthach who helped me theorize this completed form in the first place, back when I was training.
The others around didn't speak as we all watched the fireworks in the distance, the moment the Fortress hit the ground, a colossal wave of Magical Energy cascaded out in every direction, enough that my hair was blown to the side. The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.
It certainly did bring a smile to my face as I pet Sir Wiggles.
"Well then, I guess my head isn't going to end up on a spike anymore?" I said as I turned around towards Vlad. He flinched at my sudden address, maybe shocked a bit at my magical display. "Perhaps we should negotiate the terms of our 'ceasefire', hmm?" I raised my hand up and both the Spear and the Sword turned to point towards them.
All the Servants quickly regained their wits, immediately prepared for battle.
I just let out a laugh, waiving my hand and dismissing the spell. The Massive tree, my Yggdrasil started to wither.
The Sword and Spear began to shrink, their 'presence' that weighed down upon everyone was receding with the fading of the World Tree.
Both my Spear and my Sword dropped to the ground, returned to their true forms, -- the Sword of Destruction and Gae Bolg. I retrieved them quickly enough, and returned them to my ring.
I cast one last gaze towards my Tree, its entirety dissipating back into Magical Energy and dispersing back into the world.
"I'm kidding." I raised my hand up to show no hostility. "I don't go back on my word." Once again, my pride would not allow it. Technically, we only agreed to allow me to bring that thing down, but it was the principal of the matter.
"H-how!" Saber's master fell to his large butt, pointing at me. "How is that possible! That was a Noble Phantasm and you destroyed it with Magecraft!? There shouldn't be any Mysteries like that left in the world!"
That man was the only one to speak, but the expressions on the other Mages there seemed to mirror his own. The horror on their faces, and the sheer bewilderment at what they saw.
Well, his statement wasn't entirely accurate. The Queen of the Clock Tower has Magecraft that's only a hairs breath away from True Magic. While she probably couldn't have done same thing as my spell, a different set of circumstances and she could have managed something similar.
"No, it wasn't just a spell." Siegfried spoke up.
"Quiet! I commanded you not to speak unless I ordered it!" His master snapped at him.
"Yeah, Siegfried, you don't want to give away any secretive information." I also spoke up.
His master turned to me, mouth agape.
"But I'm curious at what you have to say, Dragon Slayer." I ignored his Master.
"That was Gungnir, the spear of the All Father, you somehow managed to create an image of it, one that possessed the same properties, if diminished." Siegfried spoke, and his Master seemed cowled by a few glares. "And the Sword...."
"That's impossible in this Age." The large Master spat out. "There had to be some other trick to it."
"Primordial Runes." Siegfried closed his eyes, earning the undivided attention of everyone here.
My lips curled up. "You noticed, huh?"
"I thought those were gone from the world?" Archer muttered. "You seem to have many things that should be 'impossible' in this era, young man."
"Not impossible if you know where to look." I grinned. "And I had the best teacher."
"Strange, I don't recall you being my student." Archer flashed a little smile, an obvious joking tone in his voice.
I raised an eyebrow at him. "You know, that really just revealed your identity."
Archer just laughed. "You focused solely on us Servants when you had opportunities to kill a Master. It's clear where you stand in this fight, I don't regret giving my identity, young warrior." He pushed his fist against his chest. "I am Chiron." He said without any fanfare. "Can I know the name of the one who was able to teach you?"
"We're leaving." I looked towards Mordred and Raikou.
Raikou was quiet, but she didn't speak to others unless she was forced to, her attention was almost always on me. Mordred though.....she was oddly quiet. She wouldn't hesitate to throw words at anyone here if she felt like it, but she instead opted to stand by me, menacingly, and deter the others.
Well, it would be rude to stay here any longer now that the Sun was coming up.
With a wave of my hand, I opened a portal and they followed me through.
***
"Master~" Raikou immediately grabbed onto me, pushing me between her breasts. "I was so worried. And you were so dashing, momma is proud."
"You stupid cow, stop it." Mordred spat out.
"Fufufu." Raikou ignored Mordred. "Master is going to be spoiled."
"Raikou." I patted her on the head.
"Mou." She pouted, but accepted me leaving her embrace.
And my heart strings are constantly tugged around her. That's seriously not fair.
"You going back to your master?" I asked Mordred.
"That Necromancer is fine....but I should go make sure." Mordred looked away, towards the direction I assume he was hiding in. "That was impressive....." She muttered.
"Pardon?" I blinked in confusion.
She scowled, crossing her arms. "Your spell was cool." She huffed. "Taking down that Noble Phantasm and everything."
"Is my son praising me?" I couldn't help but grin.
"Fuck you." She spat out.
"Someone's testy." I pursed my lips. "What's got you all twisted up? You're usually less...contained than you are now from what I've see so far. And you didn't even speak when we were at the castle."
"What's it to you?" She frowned.
"Fine, fine." I raised my free hand up. I wouldn't push her if she had something on her mind. "But you were great out there."
"What?" She looked confused.
"You did good." I praised her. "Taking on multiple Servants and even removing that Berserker, you did an amazing job."
"O-of course I did, who the hell do you think I am?" She clearly preened under my words, even if she tried to appear nonchalant. "And don't you dare forget what I said." She raised her sword up, pointing at me. "I want some answers later, and you're going to give them to me." She declared before Astralizing and disappearing.
"Haaah." I let out a long breath. "What a handful she is." I wonder how Artoria will react. I'll be sure to contact her in a few hours and get her opinion.
In the mean time, I was exhausted and there was an empty lap for me to lay down on.
I could think about the important bits after a couple hours of sleep. Definitely going to have a chat with Raikou later as well.
***
So I've separated this specific Arc into three parts, and this about wraps up the second part of it. The third will take part during the next day, then back onto the fighting. Will show some POVS next chapter.
