Left with no other choice, Eiji reluctantly drew out a sword.
It could hardly even be called a sword—rely a sword-shaped object with only an outline, not even worthy of being called a weapon.
Yet, upon seeing that sword, Scáthach was visibly moved.
"Is this... a holy sword born in this era? You brat, you've been hiding such a trump card all along!"
That's right.
This was the true holy sword of this era that Eiji had obtained in the British Lostbelt!
In fact, no matter which King Arthur it was, the holy swords they wielded were nothing more than remnants of the original holy sword. Especially when they manifested as Servants, the holy swords in their hands were rely crystallized fantasies of human history—creations of magical energy.
But Eiji's holy sword was different. This was a genuine holy sword born in this era, belonging solely to this era. Just like the one that erged 14,000 years ago to defeat Sefar, this was the original archetype of the holy sword!
"I see, so that's your plan!"
rlin's eyes lit up, and his spirits lifted.
"By the way, you haven't woven the spell for this holy sword yet? I thought you'd already completed it, which was why you were so strong..."
"If I had finished weaving the spell, I'd already be an official Grand Saber."
Eiji shook his head.
But for now, he was still only a candidate for the Crowned Sword.
The reason I've beco this strong is entirely due to my own efforts!
"True, but it's also thanks to you not filling in the spell that we finally have a way to counter Goetia!"
rlin rubbed his hands together eagerly.
"Um, I don't really get it?"
Okita Souji scratched the back of her head in confusion.
"Hasn't Goetia already achieved materialization of the soul? Doesn't that an he's absolutely immortal? How can just a holy sword kill him?"
In the world of Type-Moon, materialization of the soul is undeniably a divine skill.
Based on the characteristic that the soul never decays, as long as the soul is materialized and aligned with the real world's foundation without consuming soul energy, the materialized soul can never be destroyed!
"Souji, you're basically correct, but you've fallen into a misconception."
Morgan also seed more cheerful, her sense of pressure greatly diminished.
"Materialization of the soul indeed makes one immortal, but that doesn't an one can't be injured. Of course, ordinary injuries are aningless to them. Only an attack powerful enough to scatter their soul can harm them."
"After being injured, due to the characteristic of absolute immortality, their soul won't die but will turn into particles drifting to various parts of the Earth. It will take countless years for their soul particles to gather again."
Only by scattering their soul can it be considered a serious injury.
By the ti they recover from their injuries and reassemble their soul, many years will have passed.
"I see! But our competition schedule is only three days, and today is already the second day!"
Okita Souji suddenly understood.
As long as they successfully inflict serious, irreparable damage on Goetia in the short term, it would be equivalent to winning!
By the ti the competition ended, Eiji had already beco a UO, and everything was settled. A single Beast couldn't possibly stir up any trouble!
"But doesn't she still have the Greater Grail?"
"As long as we beat her to the brink of death, severing her connection to the Greater Grail will be a piece of cake!"
Scáthach laughed with absolute confidence.
Exactly.
The problem now is that Goetia's power is far too overwhelming!
Even the Alliance of Gods couldn't find a way to critically injure Goetia to the point of near-death, let alone sever her connection to the Greater Grail!
For soone who has achieved spiritual materialization, true critical injury ans shattering their soul beyond recovery!
Being reduced to ashes is rely a minor wound—recoverable in the blink of an eye, without even relying on the Greater Grail.
"This sword can do it!"
rlin eagerly eyed the sword in Eiji's hand, which was nothing more than a hollow outline.
"Anti-Evil, Anti-Chaos, Anti-Human Threat, Anti-Beast, Anti-Female, Anti-Heaven-Earth-Man-Star... all sorts of special attack spells can be infused into this holy sword!"
Exactly!
We're going all out with targeted attacks!
Whatever attributes you have, Goetia, we'll pack the corresponding special attacks into this sword!
Guaranteed to make you enjoy special attacks to the fullest!
"Whoa! That's terrifying! I almost feel like praying for Miss Goetia!"
Souji imagined the scene and couldn't help but gasp in shock.
One sword, multiple special attacks!
Even Miss Goetia would be struck dumbfounded on the spot, wouldn't she?
In the Type-Moon World, special attacks reign supre!
"But weaving the holy sword's spells will probably take a lot of ti, right?"
"No problem, I'll handle the ti aspect!"
rlin confidently patted his chest and made the promise.
No problem, it'll work!
Once the holy sword is complete, we'll definitely defeat Goetia!
"Damn it all!"
Eiji suddenly slamd the table furiously, startling everyone.
Everyone turned to look at him, only to find him already in tears.
"My Holy Annihilation Holy Sword! My Holy Annihilation Holy Sword is gone! Waaaaaah!"
He hugged the true holy sword in his arms, his face filled with regret.
"What's wrong with you?"
Morgan stared at him, utterly baffled.
"Can't you tell? I'm mourning!"
Eiji stroked the holy sword, his sorrow flowing like a river.
"I completely fail to see any reason for you to mourn."
Scáthach gave him a peculiar glare.
"As long as we defeat Goetia, won't the UO position be yours for the taking?"
By then, why would you even care about so holy sword or another?
This holy sword is ant to be used here—that's what gives it aning!
"You don't understand."
Eiji's face was filled with emptiness.
"I originally planned to infuse a spell called Holy Annihilation into the holy sword. That spell is incredibly powerful—it can arbitrarily alter the rules of the world..."
Everyone present was shocked!
Good grief, what kind of spell is that ruthless?
"Then why didn't you infuse it?"
Morgan tapped her chin with her slender finger, pondering as she asked.
The Holy Annihilation Holy Sword—it sounded incredibly strong. If possible, it would surely be far better than stacking a bunch of special attack spells. Even as a UO, it would be an imnsely powerful weapon, right?
Was there so difficulty?
"To complete the Holy Annihilation Holy Sword, I first need to create billions of miniature magic circles, which requires an enormous amount of ti..."
Billions!
rlin, Scáthach, and Morgan were all visibly shaken by these words.
"Moreover, to activate the Holy Annihilation, we need an extrely powerful computer..."
Eiji's face was full of bitterness.
What could he say?
He could only lant that the UO finals had started too quickly!
There was simply no ti for him to prepare. Looking at it now, neither of the two conditions for completing the Holy Annihilation Holy Sword could be t!
The more Eiji thought about it, the more it pained him.
After finally obtaining the true Holy Sword, must he now stuff it with a bunch of garbage special attacks?
What a colossal loss!
"Ding-dong!"
Just then, the doorbell suddenly rang.
The group tensed up, imdiately turning their guarded gazes toward the outside.
