Red A, however, didn't bother to explain. He simply extended one hand silently, and then...
"...UnlimitedBladeWorks!"
Reality Marble! Unlimited Blade Works!
hum!
In an instant, Shirou Emiya/Muramasa Senji, Rin Tohsaka, and Archer arrived atop a hill of swords! The gears of the sky were turning, and longswords were planted in the ground!
Seeing this earth-shattering scene, Senji Muramasa, who possessed similar powers, immediately recognized it.
"This is... a Reality Marble??"
“Indeed, the old man is indeed very knowledgeable.” Red A said calmly. He glanced at the sword in Senji Muramasa’s hand before continuing, “That’s right. If Noble Phantasms are the trump cards of Heroic Spirits, then this Reality Marble is my Noble Phantasm.”
"As an archer, why do you wield a sword?"
"is it not OK?"
Red Archer doesn't see anything wrong with himself. His class is Archer, his profession is Caster, he wields Saber, and he does Assassin work—is that not allowed?

"You're a swordsmith, aren't you? We're about the same, but my methods are simpler. I can replicate that sword you're holding for you. Want to try?"
"Oh?" Senji Muramasa became interested. "Then let's give it a try."
"it is good."
trace, on!
brush!
An identical Myojinkiri Muramasa appeared instantly in Archer's hand! Archer moved swiftly, gripping the sword and slashing directly at Senji Muramasa!
however……
when! !
With a crisp sound, Red A looked at the remaining hilt of the sword in his hand and didn't know what to say for a moment.
..... ....... ...
"Hahaha!" Senji Muramasa laughed, holding the complete Muramasa in his hand. "Young man, do you see this? How can your lazy copy of a weapon compare to my sword, which I have forged a thousand times! It seems that your swords are all inferior versions of the original treasures."
Red A...
He wanted to refute it, but he really had no reason to. After all, his Noble Phantasms were indeed a level below the originals. Calling them inferior products wouldn't be wrong.
but……
"If there are enough inferior products, even the original cannot compare."
Suddenly, behind Red A, countless Muramasa swords appeared out of thin air! Each Muramasa sword gleamed with a cold light!
Although these Muramasa are only rank B, which is lower than the original rank A of Senko Muramasa, what about ten? Fifty? A hundred?
Looking at the sky filled with samurai swords, Senji Muramasa smiled and said...
"Emiya, I was right. You really are talented. I never imagined you would achieve this level in the future."
What! ! !
In an instant, Shirou Emiya, Archer, and Rin Tohsaka, who was watching the commotion, were all stunned.
Those present were all intelligent people, and they immediately understood what Senji Muramasa meant!
Seeing this, Rin Tohsaka exclaimed in shock.
"So... Archer... is actually the same person as Emiya-kun?"
Chapter 352 Unlimited Blade Works VS Unbounded Blade Works
Rin Tohsaka realized what was going on; she had previously imagined who Archer was going to kill.
Was it the butcher who murdered his entire family? The rival who stole his wife? The swindler who deceived him when he was penniless? Or perhaps a ruler who brought disaster to the country, a beautiful woman who brought ruin, and so on and so forth? But the one thing she never expected was that the person Red A wanted to kill was himself!
"Wait! Archer! Why! Why did you do this?!"
Rin Tohsaka couldn't understand: if you kill your past self, then your future self will cease to exist. What's the difference between this and suicide?
Of course, this wouldn't happen to those already enshrined in the Throne of Heroes. If a future Heroic Spirit were to kill their past self, theoretically that Heroic Spirit wouldn't disappear, and "573" would become an unnamed being.
But Red A had no idea about this. All he wanted to do now was kill the version of himself in front of him and free himself from this pain. That was all.
"fall!"
Red A waved his hand, and swish, swish, swish!
Instantly, countless projected images of Myojin Kiri Muramasa shot directly towards Senko Muramasa! Senko Muramasa was not in a hurry; he simply swung his Myojin Kiri Muramasa in a dense, impenetrable barrage!
Dang Dang Dang!
In an instant, countless projected swords were blasted away!
"Future Emiya boy, although I don't know why you want to kill the present Emiya boy, I absolutely cannot watch you nip a young man with unlimited potential in the bud! You! Give up!"
"Infinite future?" Hearing Senji Muramasa's words, Archer sneered, "Heh, infinite future? How do you know what his future is? Letting him die here today is the greatest mercy you can show him in the future!"
hum!
Behind Red A, more and more swords are projecting out!
Gram! Durandal! Death of Yellow! Neon Sword! Gan Jiang & Mo Xie! Primordial Fire! Myojin-kiri Muramasa…
Countless replicas of Noble Phantasms were projected by Archer! Behind each sword lies a hymn to a hero, and now, these swords all have only one target! That is Senji Muramasa/Emiya Shirou!
However, amidst the barrage of swords, Senji Muramasa merely smiled faintly. He put down the Myojin-giri sword in his hand, and then suddenly shouted loudly...
"You two Emiya brats, watch closely! Mere projection is just a clumsy imitation! This!!! This is true sword forging!!!"
"This is the culmination of countless hours of dedicated research, using millions of swords as models to build and accumulate a mound of swords!"
"This is the culmination of all things, manifesting the long-cherished wishes of all beings, gathering all non-karmic forces here!"
"Everything in my life exists to reach this blade!"
"This! Is the true pulse of the sword! Watch these two lads closely! This!! Is this! Muramasa Tomogari!!!"
Noble Phantasm Unleashed! Unbound Sword Technique!
Grade: A++!
This is the strongest sword that Senji Muramasa has created with his life's work. Originally, it was only graded A+ and was bound by divinity. However, because he created the A++ Lin Ye Muramasa, Senji Muramasa later spent his entire life forging this strongest Muramasa that surpassed the original Ama no Kusanagi sword!
Muramasa Doumuka!
boom! ! !
Instantly, countless flames began to spread from the center of Senji Muramasa! Wherever these flames passed, the Unlimited Blade Works Reality Marble was being continuously devoured!
"This is!! A Reality Marble!"
Red A gasped. How could he not recognize that Senji Muramasa's sword strike was also a manifestation of a Reality Marble?
The clash of Reality Marbles is based on the strength of both sides, including their magical foundation, magical power, and mental imagery!
If the difference between the two is not too great, then it will be two worlds constantly colliding. However, if one side has an overwhelming advantage, then the weaker side may not even be able to deploy its own protective barrier!
Just like now!
Senji Muramasa is superior to me in terms of magical power, spirit origin, and mental image, and his understanding of the sword is even better! That means his Reality Marble is a perfect counter to Archer's Unlimited Blade Works!
Unless Archer's magic and understanding of the sword surpass those of Senji Muramasa, there is only one possible ending for him!
hum!hum!hum!
Wherever the firelight reached, all the swords stuck in the ground suddenly burst into flames! In the sky, a giant rotating gear actually fell from the flames!
"My Unlimited Blade Works!" Archer stared in horror at Muramasa Senji before him, suddenly realizing that all the swords had shattered at the same time!
These shattered swords actually transformed into tiny crystal fragments, which coalesced on the sword in Senji Muramasa's hand!
"The quality of a sword lies not in its quantity! Emiya boy! Watch closely! This is the true sword of this old man!"
hum!
Senji Muramasa swung his sword!
boom!
A beam of sword light shot into the sky and cleaved the entire Reality Marble in two! Red A tried to resist, projecting countless swords into the sky once more, but these swords were instantly cut in two by this bright sword light!
The sword light ripped through space and time, and countless EX-rank azure flames erupted from the rifts, relentlessly burning everything in the world! It also destroyed Archer's dream...
"finished?"
Watching this scene, Red A silently closed his eyes, only one thought remaining in his mind.
"Seriously, what kind of Holy Grail War have I even participated in?"
Thinking back to how I used to brag to Rin Tohsaka that I couldn't beat anyone, and now that I can't beat anyone, I feel so ashamed of myself in this Holy Grail War.
However, the fatal blow that Red A awaited did not come. When he opened his eyes again, everything was over. He was back in the Emiya family compound, where Senji Muramasa was constantly wiping his Tomokari Muramasa.
