Chapter 107 - Chapter 107: True Ancestor

At this moment, within the light screen.

[A blood-red light erupted from the Seventh Holy Scripture, like a sharp arrow piercing the sky, aimed directly at Arcueid.]

[Just by its sheer force, this attack was immensely powerful. It was not inferior, even when compared to the treasures of Altria or Gilgamesh!]

The Fourth Holy Grail War.

Seeing this, Gilgamesh couldn't help but marvel: "Though she is an insect, she is a leader among insects! Perhaps she can amuse this King a little."

He turned his gaze to Ciel in the image, then glanced at Kotomine Kirei beside him, jesting: "Your church has someone of such ability, what about you? When will you reach her level?"

Hearing this, Kirei fell silent. He had always been confident in his own strength, but the existence in the image shocked him like never before.

Apart from Servants, he had never seen such a powerful being.

"What, speechless?" Gilgamesh said with a smile.

Then, he focused on the screen again and said softly: "Never mind. You haven't yet recognized your true desires, let alone found your true self. This is simply too difficult for you."

Kotomine Kirei's silence deepened.

Beside him, Tōsaka Tokiomi placed a silver sword inside a gift box, intending to present it to this disciple on an appointed day.

After preparing the gift, he looked at his disciple, who seemed somewhat disappointed by the Servant's words, and gently patted his back in comfort.

At this moment, in the light screen.

[The attack from the city-destroying ballista had now reached the Confinement Tower.]

[BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!]

[A deafening roar shook the heavens and the earth.]

[A mushroom cloud even appeared in the sky.]

[The very ground trembled from this blow!!!]

[As the smoke gradually cleared, there was no trace of Arcueid at the point of impact.]

[Ciel's heart sank, sensing something was wrong.]

[She quickly channeled her power. The form of the Seventh Holy Scripture changed accordingly. The sound of clashing metal rang out again, sparks flying everywhere as it reverted to its demonic appearance.]

[At that moment, Ciel seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up.]

[She saw Arcueid's short golden hair and crimson eyes suddenly appear in her vision!]

["Hah!" With a sharp cry, Arcueid, using her hands like claws, lunged at Ciel at supersonic speed.]

[In an instant, Ciel saw a blur before her eyes. Arcueid was already upon her, striking at her vitals with a claw attack of immense force!]

[At this critical juncture, Ciel instinctively raised her arms to block.]

[However, even so, the powerful impact sent her flying like an arrow from a bow, crashing heavily from the roof to the ground, creating a large crater.]

[Fortunately, at the last moment, Ciel manipulated the Seventh Holy Scripture to cushion some of the impact.]

[Even so, she looked quite disheveled. A trickle of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, and the pain made her frown slightly.]

[Looking at Arcueid's smug expression, Ciel couldn't help but click her tongue: "Tch, the Confinement Tower couldn't even hold her? That barrier could suppress even the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostle Ancestors for a short time. It seems I still underestimated her!"]

[After saying this, Ciel once again stimulated the power within her body.]

[Red orbs of light appeared on her chest, lower abdomen, and right hand, like three brilliant suns, too bright to look at directly.]

["Idea Blood!"]

[As immense magical energy surged, Ciel's entire body was enveloped in power.]

[With the aid of this power, she became exceptionally adept at weaving large-scale magecraft.]

[The chanting of secret codes was compressed to the extreme. Numerous patterns appeared on her body, especially on her left leg, which almost completely vanished, turning into transparent magical formulae that shimmered in the night sky.]

[At that moment, Ciel drew several Black Keys from somewhere. They transformed into silvery-white streaks of cold light, instantly appearing around Arcueid, encircling her.]

[Then, Ciel used the power of the Idea Blood to instantly activate a large-scale magecraft: "Gothic Fort!"]

[This was a phase-shifting isolation barrier developed to seal top-tier Dead Apostles. Originally an heirloom artifact of the Materialization Kingdom, it could sever the inside from the outside with a wall spanning 30 kilometers in diameter.]

[What Ciel deployed was a conceptual barrier targeting a single or specific object. It also possessed space-distorting functions, allowing her to adjust the size of the internal space at will.]

[However, this magecraft consumed a tremendous amount of energy and required special magical power, making it impossible to cast consecutively. The target had to be trapped with Black Keys to imprison them within the barrier. Due to limited magical energy, activating it twice was her limit.]

[Ciel was reluctant to use this trump card, but Arcueid had managed to break free from the Confinement Tower, forcing her hand.]

[At this moment, the magical energy within her body was rapidly draining. If she were an ordinary person, she would have died from magical energy depletion long ago.]

At this moment, in the Clock Tower, Lord El-Melloi II stared at the astonishing scene on the screen, filled with complex emotions.

"How many large-scale magecraft has she used? It's unbelievable!" He was shocked. He had never seen such a powerful human. It simply defied common sense!

Thinking of himself and comparing himself to Ciel, Lord El-Melloi II was filled with envy.

If he had possessed such power, perhaps he wouldn't have become a burden to Iskandar during the Fourth Holy Grail War.

At this time, all magi and Heroic Spirits were astonished by Ciel's power, feeling that her magecraft was unprecedented.

[Bullet Comments]

[Merlin]: There exists such a powerful being in another world!

[Cú Chulainn]: Even if I were summoned as a Caster, I'm afraid I wouldn't be a match for her.

[Kotomine Kirei]: Cú Chulainn, you can use magecraft? I always thought you were just a Lancer.

[Cú Chulainn]: Though I don't understand why I always end up as a Lancer, my magecraft is certainly not to be underestimated!

At the same time, within the light screen.

[Gothic Fort was deployed. A massive black cube stood between heaven and earth, sealing Arcueid inside.]

[However, Arcueid did not despair because of this.]

[She slightly raised the corners of her mouth and began to mobilize the power within her body.]

[Instantly, the world around her seemed to undergo an earth-shattering change. The originally dark night was suddenly illuminated by a blue light. Arcueid seemed to be within a blue world.]

["Marble Phantasm!"]

[As Arcueid's voice fell, her crimson pupils instantly turned golden. The very earth seemed to tremble slightly under her power.]

[Then, a huge prismatic cylinder materialized out of thin air, tightly enclosing the cathedral.]

[A powerful force suddenly erupted, violently destroying the cathedral!]

[At this moment, the tables had turned. It was no longer Arcueid being restricted by Ciel, but Ciel being restrained by Arcueid! The roles of attacker and defender had been reversed!]

[This was Arcueid's Marble Phantasm, a terrifying ability capable of overturning the situation!]

[Under the astonishing power of Arcueid's Marble Phantasm, the world seemed to be rewoven, constantly changing according to her will.]

[Ciel knew this was a moment of life or death. She had to give her all and play her final card.]

[The Idea Blood shone brightly once more. This was its last vestige of power, and all of Ciel's hope.]

[She gathered all her strength into a single point, ready to launch a fatal blow.]

[However, before that, she had to withstand Arcueid's fierce assault.]

[Within the illusory world constructed by Arcueid, every attack was as violent as a storm. Ciel could only rely on the transformations of the Seventh Holy Scripture to barely resist.]

[She activated "Bleeding Death: The Cause of Death of Three." The Seventh Holy Scripture instantly transformed into a chain sword over two meters long. The blade split and extended to 30 meters, incredibly sharp, yet it still couldn't leave the slightest scratch on Arcueid.]

[Arcueid merely waved her arm lightly, and a tide of crimson light surged forth, leaving Ciel covered in wounds.]

[She struggled to hold on. The injuries on her body multiplied, but the determination in her eyes grew stronger.]

[At that moment, a series of flashes appeared in the sky, like distant stars tracing a beautiful arc.]

[Arcueid didn't notice this change, but Ciel smiled. She knew her preparations were finally complete.]

["Calvaria Galgalim!!!"]

[Ciel shouted loudly. This great magecraft unfolded in the stratosphere, gathering the scorching sun and transforming into a burning wheel of angels.]

[A blade of light, 50 kilometers long and 10 kilometers wide, descended upon Arcueid like a guillotine of radiance.]

[This was a great magecraft Ciel devised after defeating the ancestor who was once her swordsmanship master. Its power and mystery were comparable to Excalibur, arguably one of the pinnacles of magecraft.]

[To execute this move, she had spent a full three minutes in preparation, exhausting three years' worth of accumulated blood and immense magical energy.]

[As the Star of Calvary activated, the entire world seemed bathed in light.]

[Arcueid's arrogant Marble Phantasm was also overshadowed by this power.]

[Ciel's eyes were filled with resolve and hope: "Let the situation be overturned!!!"]

The scene before them shocked every viewer to the core.

Be they Heroic Spirits or cunning magi, all were deeply moved.

Ciel, covered in wounds yet tenaciously holding on, had finally completed her complex magical preparations.

With her passionate cry of "Let the situation be overturned!!!"

The passion of all the viewers was instantly ignited.

The Fifth Holy Grail War, Tōsaka Residence.

Tōsaka Rin witnessed this scene, her breathing becoming rapid, her chest rising and falling.

Even Archer, who had always been lazily lying on the sofa with a dead-fish look in his eyes, couldn't help but straighten his posture.

"'There exists such a powerful being?" he muttered to himself, his tone full of disbelief. "Mysterious power comparable to Excalibur, actually coming from a human's hands?"

Archer thought of his own life as a human and couldn't help but compare.

This seemed even more incredible than his own past glory?

However, he shook his head again. Perhaps the other party could no longer be simply called "human"?

After all, the concept of immortality seemed incompatible with the word 'human'.

Also on the stage of the Fifth Holy Grail War.

Altria stared dumbfounded at the magecraft of jaw-dropping scale on the screen.

"Calvaria Galgalim… is it?" she whispered softly, as if talking to herself. "How could magecraft rivaling Excalibur… I've never heard of it before."

The battle within the light screen was drawing to a close.

[The power of Calvaria Galgalim finally reached its peak.]

[In the sky, a series of arc-shaped white stars quietly emerged, like messengers of the sun, focusing their light upon Arcueid.]

[The power was so immense it instantly devoured Arcueid and everything around her.]

[Arcueid was struck as if by lightning, vomiting blood, her body swaying unsteadily.]

[At this moment, her consciousness was almost blurred. She only felt her body beginning to crumble, spreading from her arms to her torso, then to her abdomen.]

[Her body gradually turned to nothingness, scattering in the wind...]

At this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka stared at the shocking scene on the screen, completely dumbfounded.

"Could it be… she can really completely defeat a True Ancestor?"

Initially, although Arcueid seemed to be struggling under Ciel's fierce attacks, Ritsuka always felt the two were at most evenly matched, or that Ciel had a slight advantage.

However, what he never expected was that Ciel actually possessed the ability to completely eliminate Arcueid, the True Ancestor!

"Why is she so powerful?!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was filled with confusion and bewilderment.

At this moment, in the light screen.

[Arcueid's body had almost completely dissipated.]

[On the physical level, she had been utterly defeated.]

[However, facing this situation, Ciel did not let her guard down. Instead, her expression grew more solemn.]

[Because she sensed an even more powerful force quietly rising.]

[That was Inversion – a special state that could only be triggered by the True Ancestor royalty.]

[When a True Ancestor's body was completely destroyed for some reason, this phenomenon would occur as a reactive force.]

[At this moment, although Arcueid's body was minimal, her compressed magical energy had been released, causing her scale of existence to instantly expand.]

[A massive being emitting a dazzling light suddenly appeared before Ciel.]

[This was Arcueid in her Light Body state, her strength several times greater than in her normal form!]

[Within the core of the light, Arcueid's consciousness remained, but due to the loss of her physical body's restraint, her excess magical energy began to project and spread the self-image depicted in her mind without inhibition.]

[This was simply a phenomenon directly sketched into reality using mental power as a pen.]

[Arcueid in her Light Body state had a colossal size of 200 meters. When her spreading consciousness stabilized, it was still a full 100 meters tall.]

[This was the horror of a True Ancestor – even if their body was destroyed, the energy accumulated within could transform into a disaster, wreaking vengeance upon human cities.]
