The voice made Guinevere jump. She looked up to see Shirou standing over her, and the color drained from her face. Fear flickered in her eyes.

She swallowed hard and tried to smile. "G-good day... L-Lord Shirou."

"Why is Princess Guinevere here?"

"Well..."

King Leodegrance...

IBHJ 1112

"Abby!" Xuanzang caught Abigail as she swayed.

"I'm okay." Abigail's voice trembled. Her face was ghostly white. "We need to keep going. While Goetia distracts the Apostles, we can use the gate to slip past the city's barrier."

Xuanzang shook her head. "No."

"What do you mean, n...

IBHJ 1111

From his palace above the clouds, the strategist gazed downward through the darkness surrounding him.

The white apostle rushed in and took his place behind the strategist. "...We've received word from Ector. They've captured Fujimaru Shirou, and they've also taken Master Xuanzang."

"O...

IBHJ 1110

A smile tugged at his lips.

"Just what I expected..."

Xuanzang was actually the Buddha of Glorious Sandalwood. Since Buddhas couldn't be summoned, this summoned Xuanzang Sanzang was from her time traveling to the west.

But that didn't mean she wasn't already part Buddha. Her bod...

IBHJ 1109

Shirou finally understood why his physical body appeared in this version of Britain. This wasn't just any Britain—this was the Britain of reality, the one belonging to Pan-Human History. The Emperor must have done something to cause this Pan-Human Britain to merge with the Empire's Britain. No ...

That horrible, awful thief!

Abigail fumed silently. A few days ago, something had gone wrong with her Noble Phantasm. That's why she'd been caught by that black iron man.

This stupid thing is why I can't fight back!

She grabbed the thorny crown on her head and yanked it a few ti...

"You're too slow about everything, Morgan. When dealing with foreign threats, you must be quick, precise, and ruthless."

Apostle Ector stepped in front of Shirou and grabbed his shoulder. "Welcome to the Empire, Heroic Spirit of Pan-Human History. Sleep now. When you wake up, you will be a ...

IBHJ 1106

"What... what happened here..."

Xuanzang stared at the devastation before her. She'd felt the earth shake and rushed to investigate, but nothing could have prepared her for this.

The scene looked like the aftermath of a massive earthquake.

A pile of rubble shifted nearby. Xuanza...

IBHJ 1105

Shirou studied the armored figure, his brow creasing.

Guinevere spotted King Leodegrance in the first seat to the right. She opened her mouth to greet him, but her father's stern look silenced her.

The Apostle lifted her head, and a piercing gaze locked onto Shirou. The intensity of t...

IBHJ 1104

Guinevere glanced out the carriage window, then pulled back at the sight of Tintagel.

"Does it look different from what you imagined from your books?" King Leodegrance's eyes crinkled with amusement.

Guinevere bobbed her head. "It's... frightening."

"The surrounding kingdoms hav...

IBHJ 1103

He put down the book and left his room. As he walked into the main hall's corridor, he saw Guinevere gripping the handrail, rubbing her bottom and letting out long sighs.

"Is everything okay, Guinevere?" he asked.

"Oh!" Guinevere jumped, then turned and relaxed when she saw who it was...

IBHJ 1102

Shirou looked from King Leodegrance to the prince, his brow furrowing.

"Father, why do you have that look on your face? You seem to know something about this Vortigern person," Guinevere asked.

King Leodegrance's lips curved into a slight smile. "You know of Vortigern as well, my dear...

IBHJ 1101

"Amitabha. Brother Shirou, may we meet again." With those parting words, Xuanzang turned back to the mooring rope. She pulled at it frantically, trying to free the boat, but her nervous hands made her movements clumsy. The rope swayed wildly, knocking into a pigeon nest that had been built atop t...

IBHJ 1100

"The Emperor is the Emperor - the god of our world and ruler of the empire." Guinevere spoke as if explaining that water was wet.

"Empire..." He chose his words carefully. "I'm a bit lost. With all these different nations around, what exactly makes up this empire?"

"Oh, that's right. ...

IBHJ 1099

Before he could pursue them, the remaining mechanical soldiers moved in perfect unison. They formed a wall around him, their gun barrels all turning to face his position.

"Ratatata—"

Gunfire filled the air.

Shirou raised his eyebrows and calmly projected a wall of legendary s...

IBHJ 1098

The crimson battleship stopped moving, as if it couldn't understand what had just happened. Taking advantage of this moment, Shirou launched his attack. Sixty-four projected swords appeared in the air around him as he charged straight toward his target.

When those projected swords flew forw...

IBHJ 1097

"Enemy attack! It must be an enemy attack!" Guinevere screamed, her voice shaking as much as her body.

Shirou stood at the window's edge, his eyes fixed on the sea. Black mechanical soldiers emerged from within the huge waves, rising one after another. And behind those mechanical soldiers, ...

IBHJ 1096

Shirou stepped into the room Guinevere had arranged for him. After washing up in the bathroom, he found fresh clothes laid out on the bed by the maids. He changed and stood before the bronze mirror, taking in his youthful reflection. A smile spread across his face.

"Besides the sun itself, ...

IBHJ 1095

"It's strange," Guinevere said softly, hiding a small laugh behind her hand. "I'm usually scared of strangers, but with you, Lord Shirou, I feel completely safe."

"I'm glad to hear that," he smiled warmly.

Even knowing this Guinevere was just part of someone's carefully crafted recrea...

IBHJ 1094

The soldiers backed away, their weapons shaking as they faced the mechanical army.

The mechanical soldiers turned their sensors on the group, focusing on Guinevere. "Target locked. Engaging—"

With sharp clicks and whirs, weapon ports slid open in their metal shoulders.

This is...

IBHJ 1093

"Guinevere?"

He was shocked because this girl was none other than Guinevere!

Apart from Ritsuka, Guinevere was the only girl who shared his features.

"You know who I am?" She tilted her head.

The sight of her made him remember everything. This run-down room, this exact mom...

IBHJ 1092

Like Shirou, Artoria couldn't sleep. She stood at her window, watching the blood moon cast its red light on her face.

Her and Shirou's paths had only crossed for a moment - they should have stayed separate. Without Crimson Moon manipulating things from the shadows, their lives wouldn't have...

IBHJ 1091

"I..." Artoria looked down. She was usually the stronger one, the elder one, but with Mordred she could never maintain that strength. A hint of vulnerability always slipped through.

And Mordred had a point. Could she really let things continue as they were?

"B-But what can I do? After...

IBHJ 1090

Shirou and Gaia emerged victorious from the UOs' judgment. With the UOs no longer interfering, Illya could finally contact Chaldea and arrange their return. But after the whole ordeal they had gone through, the group decided to rest at the connection point before reaching out to Chaldea.

S...

"Enlightened One..." Arcueid's mind went to the monk who sat in constant meditation at Ryuudou Temple.

Gaia nodded. "He was human before attaining Buddhahood. The Throne holds only his records from the moment before enlightenment. There are no records after because he grew beyond the Throne...

IBHJ 1088

"That's... that's impossible..." Ayaka's voice shook.

She struggled with this truth. She had idolized her perfect sister until Manaka became a monster who destroyed everything. And now they claimed that kind sister had returned?

"So this Manaka is like a version who never met Arthur? ...

IBHJ 1087

For now, at least, this dark blessing had given Altera back her life, sparing those who loved her from grief.

Shirou and Altera greeted each other warmly. She bowed to Gaia, promising to serve faithfully as her Guardian.

Gaia beamed at having her own powerful Guardian at last. Shirou ...

IBHJ 1086

On the moon...

Tiamat watched the black tree burn, then turned to Ayaka. "Gaia is awake. The other UOs will be here soon. We need to leave."

"I know." Manaka nodded. The wager was over. The UOs would come for her, the vessel of the Lord of Salvation.

She looked at Ayaka lying un...

IBHJ 1085

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

A low apologetic voice rang in her ears as the girl opened her eyes to see a face full of guilt, streaming with tears.

Her body was numbingly cold. Everywhere she looked, she saw gaping wounds, torn flesh, and flowing blood.

The girl apologized through ...

IBHJ 1084

Shirou sat to the side, still clutching the demonic sword. His face was deathly pale, and he breathed heavily. Burning his soul had taken a severe toll, but he had finally found a way to defeat the Lord of Salvation.

But—

He looked down at his palm and clenched his teeth. The Lord o...
