Chapter 209: Please allow me to kindly crush you. Bellerophon!!
🕑 Added 2025-09-03 03:05:01 +0000 UTC【 After ending the flashback, Shirou Emiya had just ripped off a corner of the seal on his arm when he suddenly felt a needle-like pain spread throughout his body. 】
【 “Uwa...!!” The pain made Shirou Emiya unable to hold back a cry of agony. Green magical circuits appeared on his body, climbing from his arm to his face. 】
【 “Rumble—!!!” 】
【 But before he could think, Rider's figure flashed past him, followed by Saber Alter's black and red magical cannon, which relentlessly pursued Rider, destroying every stone pillar in its path. 】
【 Shirou Emiya clutched his arm again, watching Rider in the sky with a cold sweat on his face. “I believe in you!!” 】
【 Meanwhile, Saber Alter's petrification was becoming more severe. Just as her body was about to be completely petrified, black and red magic suddenly erupted from her, instantly restoring the petrified parts to their original state. 】
【 Saber Alter then turned her head and glanced at Shirou Emiya. Rider seized the opportunity and came to Saber Alter's side again, whispering in her ear, “Are you worried about Shirou?! He won't attack.” 】
【 Saber Alter remained silent, not answering. She countered with a sword slash. Rider, using her speed, reappeared on a rock pillar inside the cave, looking at Saber Alter with a mocking tone. “Because he trusts me. Oh, and you were once...” 】
【 “Nonsense!!” As if struck by the truth, Saber Alter bit her lip slightly upon hearing this. Black and red magic once again covered the entire Holy Sword. 】

“Wow, Shirou Emiya is in agony just from partially unsealing it. There's no way he'll survive another use, especially after seeing those sword bones.”
“Rider to pull this move during a fight between two women? That's a direct, heart-crushing taunt, not just a physical attack.”
Viewers from other worlds felt a subtle sensation here. When Rider taunted Saber Alter face-to-face, her tone seemed to carry a hint of smugness, or was she deliberately provoking Saber Alter to do this?!

“The King of Knights, summoned as a Saber-class Servant, has remarkably high Magic Resistance. Even Rider's Mystic Eyes are ineffective.”
Illya looked at Saber beside her, surprised that the other party had resolved the petrification so easily.
“No... The appearance on the screen indicates that my Magic Resistance has dropped to B-rank.”
Artoria shook her head at the remark. If it were her normal A-rank Magic Resistance now, petrification would have no effect.
Her darkened self on the screen must have had her Magic Resistance drop to B-rank, which is why the Mystic Eyes of Petrification worked, and the magical armor, along with her body, gradually petrified.
“Tsk...”
Rin Tohsaka felt a pang of toothache after hearing this. If they faced a normal Saber, wouldn't most magic be ineffective?
High Magic Resistance even significantly weakened the effect of Mystic Eyes, to the point where they were dispelled simply by magical energy release. It seemed that ordinary mages would barely be able to scratch her.

“Ah, I wonder if this arm is helping him or harming him.”
Aozaki Touko sighed slightly. The arm left by Archer instantly elevated Shirou Emiya to a height that didn't belong to him.
Every time he used it, he had to endure the pain of his Origin awakening, and as his Origin awakened, his personal consciousness would also gradually collapse.
Looking at Shirou Emiya's current state, perhaps in two or three more uses, his body would no longer be able to bear it and would collapse. Even Touko herself once wondered if Shirou Emiya was foolish to go to such lengths.

【 As Rider's taunts reached their peak, the battle entered a white-hot phase. Seemingly provoked, Saber Alter began to unleash her Noble Phantasm, a massive magical cannon sweeping across the cave. 】
【 “Boom—!!” 】
【 The cave ceiling began to collapse, and the ground shattered along with it. Rider's figure continuously weaved through the falling debris, even using her monstrous strength to enhance her leg speed; her legs glowed with a purple light. 】
【 Her speed reached an unprecedented level. Every time Saber Alter unleashed her Noble Phantasm, Rider dodged it. 】
【 In these brief moments of engagement, Rider's chain blade had somehow wrapped around Saber's sword-wielding hand and was tied to nearby falling rocks. 】
【 As Rider exerted a slight force with both hands, Saber was locked within a massive rock, only her face visible as she looked at Rider. “You think this can stop me?!” 】
【 “Bang—” The massive rock, along with Saber Alter, was heavily slammed onto the ground. Rider also ran out of the deep pit, retreated a few steps, crouched slightly, and placed her hands on the ground. 】
【 “HŌGU!!!” 】
【 Rider's eyes stared forward. The scattered blood in the air gradually spread out, then converged into a blood-red magic circle, appearing before Rider with electric sparks! 】

“Saber Alter's destructive power, don't tell me that's all just normal attacks. She's throwing magic around like it's free; she could just stand there and be a cannon.”
“Rider is basically operating at maximum speed the whole time, like dancing on a knife's edge. If she takes even one hit, she's done.”
To what extent has Rider's speed increased now? The recent fight, even with the cave collapsing, was so intense... If the video hadn't slowed down, viewers from other worlds might not have been able to see clearly.
But it's also absurd that Saber Alter could block all the attacks. It seems she couldn't keep up with Rider's speed and was relying entirely on instinct to endure, which is why she didn't even notice the chains wrapped around her hand.
。。。。。
【 “Finally, she's going to use it!” Saber Alter, who had just emerged from the giant rock, didn't dare to be careless. She gripped the Holy Sword with both hands, and purple-black magic erupted from the Holy Sword like a Tatsumaki. Clearly, Saber Alter also intended to unleash her Noble Phantasm in response. 】
【 Just then, Saber Alter's eyes suddenly showed a hint of emotion. Shirou Emiya, at some unknown point, had unsealed his arm and was standing in front of Rider, facing her directly. 】
【 “Projection start... searching, filtering... analyzing.” Verdant magical circuits appeared in his hand. Vaguely, Shirou Emiya seemed to reappear in that desolate landscape within his heart, and the image of Emiya Archer's Rho Aias appeared in his eyes. 】
【 “I am the bone of my sword!” 】
【 “Ex!” Saber Alter swung her Holy Sword fiercely. The purple magic on the Holy Sword instantly transformed into a torrent of black and red magic, surging forward. “... Calibur Morgan! ( Sword of Promised Victory )” 】
【 “Rho Aias!” As Shirou Emiya chanted, a pink flower petal bloomed in his hand, and four petals blocked his front. 】
【 The next moment, a piercing explosion rang out. Surging energy waves swept through the cave. The high temperature melted everything in the path of the magical cannon. 】
【 “Ah!!!” The moment the magical cannon collided with Rho Aias, Shirou Emiya's face was covered in cold sweat, and a violent pain instantly shot through his arm. Countless blades grew out of his arm. 】
【 But... this brief moment was enough, because Rider had successfully unleashed her Noble Phantasm, gripping the golden reins from within the magic circle. 】
【 “BELLEROPHON—! ( Bridle of Chivalry) ” A white glowing horse appeared beneath Medusa. As Rider pulled the reins in her hands, the white horse instantly grew a pair of massive wings. 】
【 It then transformed into a streak of light, enduring Shirou Emiya's flower shield, breaking through the magical cannon of Excalibur Morgan, and slamming violently into Saber Alter's body!! 】
【 “BANG—!” 】
【 “BOOM—!” 】
【 The ground could no longer withstand such power and continuously disintegrated and collapsed, spreading in all directions. Rider's momentum remained unchecked as she directly rammed Saber Alter, streaking through the cave like a meteor. 】
【 During the impact, Saber Alter's armor began to shatter and disintegrate. Then, Rider slammed her heavily onto the ground. 】
【 “BOOM—!” 】
【 。。。。。】

“Shirou Emiya's release is incomplete. Only four petals appeared, but thankfully, it still managed to block Saber Alter's Excalibur!”
“Shirou Emiya has it so tough. Every time I see swords growing out of his body, even as a viewer, I feel the pain.”
“I thought the Noble Phantasm was the horse?! It seems I misunderstood. It turns out the reins tethering the horse are the Noble Phantasm.”
And Rider's Noble Phantasm seems to have two stages: summoning the Pegasus with her blood, then commanding the Pegasus with the reins to charge at maximum speed.
If it weren't for Shirou Emiya's shield delaying time and neutralizing most of Excalibur's damage, Rider probably wouldn't have been able to withstand it... But Shirou Emiya is probably not feeling well either. Every use is draining his life.
Also, I advise you to change your chant. Always shouting, “I am the Bone of sword bones,” and now they've actually grown out.

“Archer, are you sure you left a hand for Shirou? Are you really not harming him?”
Seeing Shirou Emiya's pained expression, Rin Tohsaka couldn't bear it and looked at Emiya Archer. How many times has this 'bone spur proliferation' happened now...?
“There are no two identical magical circuits in this world. Even my future self has differences from my past self.”
Facing Rin Tohsaka's questioning, Emiya Archer didn't explain much.
The 'Shirou Emiya' who walks a different path needs this power. This is 'Shirou Emiya's' own choice... But to use this acquired power, the price is something he must bear.
