A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 1136

Chapter 1136: Chapter 779: Behind the Scenes Chapter 1136: Chapter 779: Behind the Scenes “Who is that?”

Staring at the suddenly appearing Duanmu Huai, Rin Tohsaka was utterly baffled, but what followed left her even more agape.

“Medea, Alice Phil, Mash, Lorena, get ready to move!”

Following Duanmu Huai's command, the four emerged, with Mash lifting her shield high into the air and slamming it down onto the ground. In an instant, a barricade as sturdy as a city wall surged forth, blocking the flood of dark waters that rolled forth.

“Formation complete!”

Medea raised her magic wand, and in the next moment, magic power exploded, causing the surrounding ruined buildings to reassemble as if time flowed backward, forming a dam-like structure that entirely halted the gushing black water.

Simultaneously, arrays emerged in the sky, and countless magic beams burst forth from them, raining down into the black water, completely enveloping the corrupted Servants. Faced with this barrage of nearly unstoppable attacks, LANCER and CASTER were the first to be destroyed, while SABER leapt up, the Holy Sword in her hand bursting forth with a dark shimmering light beam as she swung ferociously forward!

“Exgalibur!”

“——– Mock the Foundation of Humanity!”

However, Mash was clearly prepared for this move; as SABER's weapon transformed into a forty-meter lightsaber sweeping across, Mash's great shield likewise erupted with a shimmering light, forming a wall-like barrier in front of SABER's lightsaber. The violent clash between the two even shook the earth, causing the solid ground to undulate like the choppy waves of a stormy sea.

SABER's lightsaber could not break through Mash's shield. That shield was like an unyielding wall that stopped her advance. At the same time, Duanmu Huai had leaped forward, rushing towards SABER.

By that moment, SABER had noticed Duanmu Huai's approach. She radiated a torrential mana aura, her longsword engulfed in black radiance, displaying unimaginable strength. Then, SABER turned to face the oncoming Duanmu Huai, lifting her longsword, she swung it down with force!

“Get lost!”

However, this strike, powerful enough to split the earth, was ineffective. Duanmu Huai roared as he lifted his Thunder Warhammer, white lightning piercing through the black magic fog, like a fierce wind that swept away the dark aura enveloping SABER, and with a hefty swing, SABER's armor shattered like a cookie upon impact. Raising his right hand, Duanmu Huai reached into the void towards SABER, and suddenly she was caught in his grasp like a marionette pulled by strings.

“This is the second time.”

Looking down at the black SABER struggling in his hand, Duanmu Huai sneered. He still remembered his initial journey to Singularity F when his final battle had been against this same dark-enchanted SABER. It seemed this world's trajectory was unmistakably heading towards Singularity F.

Meaning, this timeline was undeniably extending towards their future.

“Ugh… Ahh!!”

SABER desperately tried to escape Duanmu Huai's grip, but her struggle was in vain. Even with strength enough to destroy a city, at this moment in Duanmu Huai's hands, SABER was nothing more than a powerless girl.

“Haah————!”

Perhaps driven by a final instinct to survive, SABER raised her longsword and brought it down on Duanmu Huai with all her might!

“Clang!!”

The longsword struck Duanmu Huai's power armor and was immediately repelled, while Duanmu Huai merely glanced at the longsword that had been knocked away.

“This is the end, SABER.”

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai's hand violently clenched, crushing SABER's neck, her tense body immediately relaxing and slumping down, and then her entire being just dissolved into a void of black mist, disappearing into the air.

“This must be a lie?”

Seeing this, Rin Tohsaka could hardly believe her own eyes. She had witnessed SABER's strength, but this burly man had just dispatched SABER so effortlessly?

He wasn't even a Heroic Spirit!

“Boom boom boom!!”

With SABER's definitive demise, the surging black torrent also ceased, the evil-tinged mudflow that had relentlessly surged evaporated silently into the air.

But it was not over!

A flash of light.

A glaring white flash streaked across the sky, heading straight for Duanmu Huai. It was a pure white Pegasus with wings, and atop it sat a woman with purple hair, holding the reins, her round eyes fixed intently on Duanmu Huai.

“Bellerophon! (Bridle of the Riding Hero)”
RIDER had now fully removed her blindfold, the dazzling red glow of her Mystic Eyes fixed on Duanmu Huai. As a legendary Heroic Spirit, RIDER's Mystic Eyes could petrify any human or Heroic Spirit beneath her level. Even a Heroic Spirit like SABER would feel tremendous pressure when caught in RIDER's gaze. Hence to RIDER, using her Mystic Eyes to immobilize Duanmu Huai was a sure way to achieve victory.

Because… this was the order of the master she had sworn to serve!

However, the moment RIDER removed her blindfold and looked at Duanmu Huai, a violent shudder erupted within her. Duanmu Huai lifted his head, staring at her ferociously. In the split second their eyes met, RIDER felt an unimaginable terror explode within her own heart. Her body trembled, her vision began to blur, and that terror seemed to materialize into a formidable hand that gripped her throat tightly.

Not only that, but the world seemed to shift in RIDER's eyes, the form of the man before her began to twist and undulate, morphing into an indescribable, writhing being as if it existed beyond this world…!

RIDER clutched her own throat tightly, her eyes bulging, emitting a silent scream. The out-of-control Pegasus sped downward, continuing to charge towards Duanmu Huai. However, Duanmu Huai simply gripped the Thunder Warhammer and then–with all his might–swung it.

“Boom!!!”

The Thunder Warhammer smashed into the Pegasus's neck, bending it into a ninety-degree angle, completely twisted out of shape. Then the Pegasus, struck by the blow, crashed heavily onto the ground, erupting in a dazzling flash and explosion.

“Rumble rumble rumble!!”

It sounded like the noise of a missile crashing and exploding, but everyone present had already become numb to it.

“Ah… Ah… Ahhhhhh…”

Within the crater of the explosion, RIDER, covered in blood, tried to stand up. She opened her arms and desperately tore at her own face.

“No, no no no no no no don't ah ah ah ah…!!”

While screaming, RIDER's sharp nails pierced into her cheeks, peeling away her skin–and what was revealed were not flesh and bones, but writhing tentacles, resembling maggots. They emerged from the torn flesh and kept stretching outward.

“Don't, don't, get out of my body, get out ahhh…uh…!”

RIDER opened her mouth to cry out, but quickly tentacles emerged from deep within her throat, extending outward, while RIDER's eyes widened in horror–then she made a decision.

She raised the spike in her hand and plunged it towards her heart with force.

“Splurch!!”

In the next moment, RIDER, who chose to end herself, completely disappeared from sight.

Accompanying RIDER's fall, the battlefield fell into a moment of silence, and Duanmu Huai finally landed and took a breath. However, before he could say anything, a figure plunged directly into his embrace.

“Big brother!”

“Long time no see, Sakura.”

Looking at Sakura, who was clinging onto him tightly, Duanmu Huai reached out his hand and stroked her head.

“Actually, we've been watching this Holy Grail War from the very beginning, you've really done quite well.”

“Hehe, I just did what big brother taught me…”

Standing by the side, Rin Tohsaka frowned as she watched the delighted Sakura conversing with Duanmu Huai.

So this is the “big brother” Sakura mentioned before?

But, how come he looks so terrifying?

“Big brother, what should we do now?”

“Medea has already sealed off the surroundings. All things considered, there aren't many casualties here. Let's clean up this mess first.”

“Yes!”

As Duanmu Huai and the others began their mop-up operation, within the void of the Holy Grail, the blonde girl's expression was ice-cold.

“What a waste, to have used six Servants and yet end up like this…”

“Yes…”

However, at that moment, a sudden voice sounded from behind the girl.

“I didn't expect such an unexpected turn of events.”

“Who are you?”

The girl turned her head, looking behind her, only to see a dark-skinned man in a white robe with white hair standing there, watching her coldly and shaking his head.

“I thought it would be easy to wipe out everything, but it seems it's not going to be that simple, so…”

“Splurch.”

Yet, before the girl could comprehend what was happening, the white-haired man's hand had pierced into her body.

“Awaken, Beast, your time to enter the stage has arrived.”

“Uh… Huh?”

The girl hadn't had time to react and then collapsed to the ground. Her eyes widened as she trembled, a strong, burning Strength emerging within her. Slowly, the girl's body began to change, her originally petite and cute figure growing larger, her golden short hair turning into ghastly pale long hair, and two curved, twisted horns like a goat's emerging and drooping to the sides.

Then, the girl raised her head, her eyes flickering with a bright red luster, and finally, she opened her mouth.

“AAAAAAAAAA…!!!”
