If the focus of Unlimited Blade Works before was still on "unlimited" and "blade works," being a mental world that accommodated countless swords.
Then, after fusing the power of Heroic Spirit Emiya, the current Miyauchi Hikage, when using this power, could clearly perceive that when two extremely similar yet completely different Unlimited Blade Works fused together, the focus of this power shifted from swords to the mental world.
Although the ability of Unlimited Blade Works could be considered the exclusive power of Emiya Shirou, different Emiyas in different worlds had different mental landscapes when using this move.
Heroic Spirit Emiya's red wasteland and the giant gears in the sky.
Emiya Shirou himself had different mental images appearing under different circumstances.
When fighting Gilgamesh, the fully expanded Unlimited Blade Works was a sunset sky. When fighting Archer, as the Blade Works eroded each other, it was a clear blue sky with white clouds.
And then there was the snowy night Unlimited Blade Works used by the Emiya Shirou of the Prisma Illya world line.
The Unlimited Blade Works Miyauchi Hikage used before was still mainly the gear world of Heroic Spirit Emiya. Although it could also be adjusted, because Miyauchi Hikage's own power hadn't reached that realm, he could only switch between a few default environments.
But after truly integrating Heroic Spirit Emiya's ability, plus the newly collected information about Domain Expansion, Miyauchi Hikage's comprehension of the mental world deepened a lot.
With just a little attempt, Miyauchi Hikage could freely manipulate the mental landscape inside Unlimited Blade Works.
Wasteland, grassland, ocean, clouds...
He could even imitate the approximate environment inside Unlimited Void.
This seemed to be nothing special and had no impact on Miyauchi Hikage's actual firepower output, but this change was inherently closer to the direction of rules.
The biggest effect was that Miyauchi Hikage's Reality Marble became firmer and not easily interfered with by other power of rules from the outside world.
And Tohru naturally couldn't casually use her power to affect the rules inside Unlimited Blade Works like before.
Of course, with Tohru's own status, after being pulled into Unlimited Blade Works and releasing her aura, she was already constantly eroding the inside of Unlimited Blade Works.
It was just that if the previous erosion speed was 10, then the current erosion speed was only 2.
It greatly reduced Miyauchi Hikage's combat pressure.
However, in this battle, although Miyauchi Hikage took out hundreds of graded Noble Phantasms to create a super large Broken Phantasm inside the Blade Works.
And also created a light cannon attack with seven Excaliburs rotating and firing, in the end, he was still not a match for Tohru.
But seeing Tohru's slightly disheveled appearance, Miyauchi Hikage was quite satisfied with this result.
This trip to Fuyuki City didn't disappoint him as expected.
Just a casual trip, and he successfully obtained this big experience pack of Heroic Spirit Emiya, which was a much bigger harvest than his previous stroll through the Jujutsu High's Cursed Warehouse.
If before tonight, Miyauchi Hikage was only slightly better than Gojo Satoru in a life-and-death battle, then after tonight, the other party's Domain Expansion and Limitless Technique completely posed no threat to him at all.
After all, before when Miyu, Illya, and the others were fighting the Caster afterimage, they had used the Lancer card to create Gae Bolg.
And in Heroic Spirit Emiya's inventory, this magic spear that could reverse causality originally existed.
It was just that because it was not a sword, projecting it would consume more magic power and wasn't cost-effective, and might not even be able to manifest the Noble Phantasm effect of Lancer, so it had never been taken out and used.
But this was Heroic Spirit Emiya's limitation, not Miyauchi Hikage's limitation.
This magic spear that reversed causality placed in Miyauchi Hikage's hands was too suitable. His Projection Magecraft was obviously higher than Heroic Spirit Emiya's, and the extra magic power consumed was just a drop in the bucket with the support of the Jeweled Sword.
At the same time, although this thing Gae Bolg didn't care about evasion and defense, belonging to "first having the result of piercing the heart" then "the action of thrusting the spear", it happened to have a flaw of depending on Luck.
When Saber first met Lancer, she relied on Luck to forcibly reverse fate, thus avoiding the fatal attack of being pierced in the heart by Lancer.
It looked quite absurd actually, but since Saber was the protagonist, although the effect of Gae Bolg looked particularly strong, in discussions, it couldn't avoid the fate of being completely defeated by B-rank Luck.
But this point also couldn't cause any impact on Miyauchi Hikage.
Because the Calamity Torrent of Wonder of U could forcibly pull down the enemy's Luck first, and also came with a damage deepening effect.
As long as the two powers were used at the same time, the hit rate of Gae Bolg could be ensured.
If the opponent chose to distance themselves, Miyauchi Hikage could still rely on Unlimited Blade Works to adjust the range within the world.
At least it wouldn't be like the embarrassing scene when Alexander the Great fought Gilgamesh, where after entering his Reality Marble, he still had to lead his cavalry to charge a long distance to reach Gilgamesh.
Perhaps this was the Emperor wanting to show off his proud cavalry charge, but it resulted in the embarrassing scene of being instantly killed by Ea just as he started charging.
Miyauchi Hikage certainly wouldn't let this situation happen. Releasing Unlimited Blade Works of different sizes for different enemies was also the most basic control.
Miyauchi Hikage's biggest harvest tonight was taking Gae Bolg combined with Wonder of U to stab Tohru in the heart.
Although it really couldn't cause fatal damage to Tohru, and he was severely beaten by Tohru afterwards.
But seeing Tohru's deflated appearance was enough to make Miyauchi Hikage feel much happier.
Having obtained such a power, Miyauchi Hikage also took the diary to record it down.
[Tonight can be considered a full harvest. It turns out Fuyuki City in this world is the world line of Prisma Illya, so it seems the residents of Fuyuki City in this world can sleep peacefully.
I also briefly greeted the protagonist group here, and then made a bet with them.
Originally, I thought that since they were ambushed by Saber due to carelessness in the original plot, now that they were prepared, they shouldn't lose too badly, and should have a good chance to defeat Saber.
Unfortunately, although they tried very hard, they still fell short in the end. In the final analysis, it's still because of insufficient combat experience.
So I could only tearfully accept the Saber Class Card from Artoria and the Archer card from Heroic Spirit Emiya.
But I also know what questions you want to ask, anyway, let me answer some in the diary now.
You don't know who Artoria and Heroic Spirit Emiya are?
It's fine, you just need to know that the former is a female King Arthur whose gender was rewritten by a mysterious will on a certain world line.
That's the King Arthur who pulled out the sword from the stone, became the eternal King of Britain, pursued the Holy Grail her whole life, whose wife was cuckolded by a subordinate knight, was roofied by her own sister, finally killed her rebellious illegitimate child Mordred with her own hands, and whose body was sent to Avalon after death, whom the Britons today are still waiting for her return as the Once and Future King.
It can be said that the concept of the Holy Grail War itself derived from King Arthur's deeds of pursuing the Holy Grail.
As for Heroic Spirit Emiya?
That's an unlucky guy with the "trouble with women" trait. He is not a Heroic Spirit of the past, but someone who sold his afterlife to the Counter Force in the future to save others, and ended up being betrayed by the people he endured for, finally dying by hanging, and endlessly handling incidents that would threaten human history for the Counter Force.
To some extent, the other party might even be evaluated as a new saint by the Church in the further future.
And the reason why he appeared in this era is that in the original work, a certain diary holder, in the main world line, used her family heirloom jewel to save his life when he was young, and thus connected the fate of the two.
According to the creator, as long as it is the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, no matter what kind of catalyst that Miss Tohsaka prepares, she can only summon Heroic Spirit Emiya from the future in the end.
And for Heroic Spirit Emiya, his biggest wish in being born in this era is to kill his overly naive self in this war.
But that is also an important plot node in the main story.
But on the set of Prisma Illya, that Emiya in this world is just an ordinary high school student.
Although also adopted by that Magus Killer Emiya Kiritsugu, he was not taught any Magecraft, just growing up as Illya's older brother.
The only thing that hasn't changed is his "trouble with women" trait that naturally attracts girls easily.
A man who can build a harem in a Yuri anime, where basically any girl who appeared has a certain degree of affection for him, can only be described as terrifying.
On the contrary, the Emiya in Miyu's world, perhaps to contrast with the normally growing Emiya in this world, his life experience seems even more disastrous.
Became an orphan at a young age, adopted by Emiya Kiritsugu, and then raised Miyu alone after Emiya Kiritsugu died.
As a result, his self-proclaimed best friend betrayed him, and Miyu was taken away.
His Archery Club junior Matou Sakura, who had a secret crush on him, wanted to elope with him. While hesitating, he was forced to get involved in the Holy Grail War of that world.
Eventually, the junior was killed. Only at this time did he summon the power of Heroic Spirit Emiya with a blank Class Card.
Finally, to take back his sister, he killed his way through the Holy Grail War, and his body was eroded by Heroic Spirit Emiya.
Although utilizing the miraculous magic power attached to the Holy Grail ritual, he successfully sent Miyu to this world, and he is now imprisoned as a captive in that world.
The forces in that world are still tracking Miyu's whereabouts and the whereabouts of the eight Class Cards that left that world with Miyu.
The time point when they find a way to come to this world and recapture Miyu is probably during the summer vacation, which should be one or two months away from now.
So I have now told you the truth of these things. What do you think about these truths, Miss Tohsaka?
I have completed most of the analysis of the power of the Class Cards. Before you go to subjugate Assassin in a few days, I will return these two cards in my hand to you and take a few new cards from you to study. I hope to get an interesting response from your mouth then.]
This diary entry was posted in the second diary.
And in the first diary, Miyauchi Hikage only briefly mentioned that he ran to Fuyuki City to stroll around again, and obtained the power from some Heroic Spirits in history.
At the same time, he briefly mentioned a few sentences about the Holy Grail War, letting them understand the general situation of this war.
"King Arthur, and Heroic Spirit Emiya... Sakura," When Tohsaka Rin looked at this diary the next day, her expression looked a bit gloomy.
That guy was indeed the owner of the diary.
Although he won against them in the bet, he still wrote these things in the diary to tell her.
And the other party also expressed again that he would return these Class Cards, which also allowed Tohsaka Rin to breathe a sigh of relief for her mission.
The description in the diary wasn't particularly detailed, but it was indeed enough to make her understand many things.
Although she scoffed at the so-called "main story" statement, perhaps that was indeed the beginning of everything.
After all, first there was the connection between a parallel world version of herself and that Emiya, which led to the appearance of Heroic Spirit Emiya.
So when the Emiya of the other world obtained the blank Class Card from Sakura, he got the response from "herself".
Then this power came to this world along with Miyu, so those scattered Class Cards appeared and attracted them to collect.
Thinking of the red and black outfit on the other party when using Dreamlande, Tohsaka Rin indeed felt a sense of familiarity from the other party's back for a moment.
The other party shouldn't be lying about these things.
"It's just that, Zelretch and the Clock Tower detected a total of 7 abnormal magic power fluctuations, but why did the other party say it was eight cards in the diary? Did we miss something?"
Tohsaka Rin frowned and pondered.
But the most critical point was still to figure out what exactly was the situation in Miyu's world.
Why would it usher in destruction?
Connecting to the other party mentioning in the diary before "that world is about to be destroyed", and it seemed that both Miyu and Illya seemed to have the ability to sacrifice themselves to save that world.
The general situation should be that Miyu had some special constitution, then was targeted by some force that wanted to save the world, and then the Holy Grail War was held for this.
As a result, because the Emiya of that world intervened, he became the winner of the Holy Grail War and finally sent Miyu to this world.
Then after a few months passed in this world, the people of that world found a way to cross worlds and took Miyu back.
And to save Miyu, Illya chose to exile herself, traveling to the past thousands of years ago to rewrite the history of that world?
Tohsaka Rin could sort out the general situation, but what kind of changes happened in between to lead things to that point?
No matter what, she had to figure it out.
