I believe that observers outside the box have already seen that this is not Shinji's original work, but a modified version of the lyrics of the inherent barrier "Infinite Blade Works", the ultimate move of Archer Emiya, an important character in "Fate stay night".
The purpose, of course, is to show off - that's right, this time there is no reason, and no excuses, just show off frankly, directly and truly.
Since you can't hide it, just pretend to be big, pretend to be unique, pretend to be stylish, and become the king of pretending!
Pretend to show Lorelaia. Your investment over the years is not wrong, I am worth your continued efforts.
I'll show it to Waver and his students. I, Matou Shinji, am the best fighter in the El-Melloi classroom.
Show it to Rita Rojian and Smeale. The man that Aozaki Touko likes is strong enough.
I'm showing it to Hatteres and Shadow Warrior. I didn't kill you before not because I was careless, but because I knew you were the best.
Pretend to everyone I know and don't know. Yes, I do have secrets, and they are big secrets, but before you dig out my secrets, please consider whether you and your backers are strong enough to block my "unlimited stake system".
By the way, let me throw a smoke bomb - it takes time for me to chant the rafter pile style, so remember to interrupt me, I guarantee you will have a blast - let me learn about the rafter pile thousand-year killing technique.
In addition to the above purposes, Shinji also has a personal wish. He has long wanted to do this once to feel invigorated and refreshed!
As expected, this is how it feels in the Type-Moon world, even the momentum is high. As expected, the buff bonus of the first-generation protagonist is different.
In order to create a better atmosphere, Shinji continuously increased the output of magic power and adjusted the position of the rafters during the chanting process. At the moment the chanting ended, he finally created an all-round momentum that covered the sky and the ground, front and back, left and right, inside and outside the forest.
There are more of them than in Gilgamesh's "King's Treasury" and they are denser than the genuine "Infinite Blade Works". Although the quality is average, just ordinary steel, the number of tens of thousands is enough to make up for it all.
"Look at my ultimate move, Infinite Stakes, Ten Thousand Swords, Pah—Ten Thousand Stakes Technique, one stake becomes nine hundred!"
This name is really ugly, Wanjian Jue sounds better. It’s a pity that I didn’t bring the Qingyun Sword. Uh, even if I brought it, I wouldn’t be able to achieve such an effect.
Following Shinji's announcement, the first wave of sword rain, no, rafters fell, no more, no less, exactly nine hundred - nine hundred, that is nine hundred.
These nine hundred rafters nailed down all the newly grown trunks and branches of the Frozen Throne. And this was just the beginning. Next—
"Advanced: One thing becomes three thousand!"
The second wave, three thousand rafters arrived, strangling the roots and trunks from the bottom up, and then falling from the top, destroying every branch and leaf within range.
"The final blow, the ultimate, all the pillars return to their roots!"
Shinji, who had already entered the extreme pretentious state, clasped his hands together suddenly, and all the rafters on standby in the sky and on the ground, totaling more than 10,000, started to move at the same time, heading towards the center of the "Frozen Throne", where the Lich King Ner'zhul - ahem, sorry, I made a mistake again, and rushed to the place where the "True Crimson Fruit" was kept.
Indeed, after suffering a loss, the "True Red Fruit" no longer hangs on the tree in the form of a fruit, but hides itself in the trunk of the throne, the most heavily defended place.
But no matter how tight the defense is, it will eventually be breached. With Shinji's continuous attack, the defense outside the throne has been weakened a lot, and Jiubai and Sanqian have completely cleared the obstacles to the core. Then there is only one last step left, a head-on confrontation - crush all resistance and obtain the "True Red Fruit".
The ancients often used "ten thousand arrows fired at once" to describe the intensity of long-range strikes, but in history, there were not many times when this scale was truly achieved, because archers were not easy to train and the cost of arrows was not low. Even for China, which was famous for its vast land and resources and had dominated for more than a dozen centuries, there were not many opportunities to mobilize more than ten thousand archers, let alone fire ten thousand arrows at once.
However, this time, Shinji perfectly reproduced the scene of thousands of arrows being fired at once. The "King of Punishment" with a maximum output of 20,000 arrows was fully mobilized by him. The weight alone was enough to destroy everything in its path, not to mention the energy of projection
So what if he was one of the twenty-seven ancestors of the Dead Apostles? So what if he was the largest and highest-ranking Phantasmal Species? In front of such an overwhelming number, they were nothing.
The only fate that awaits it is to be crushed, crushed, crushed!
The throne is crumbling, the rafters are crumbling.
The air is shattering, the earth is shattering.
Because of the collisions and pulsations again and again.
Amidst the continuous crushing, the dense, ear-damaging metal collision and bending sounds, only Shinji remained unmoved. He was waiting, waiting for the final result, whether his stake was sharper, or the Frozen Throne's shield was stronger.
If it is the former, he will make a concerted effort to pursue the victory. If he can get the fruit, that would be great. But if he can't, he will destroy it completely, leaving no future troubles and never giving it a chance to escape and recover.
If it is the latter, he will further release his trump card, or call Elquet over to increase the output until the final victory.
I don't know how long it took, but the overwhelming rafters finally became sparse, and the continuous and harsh noises became sporadic. The red fruit covered with a layer of frost, hiding behind layers of defense, revealed its true appearance after mutation. This long-lasting war finally came to an end.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The fruit beat like a heart, trying to disrupt Shinji's blood flow again.
But this time, Shinji was prepared. At the moment when his blood accelerated, he temporarily closed his senses, released his soul, and connected his soul with Elquet.
"Come on, pass on the rest of your bloodsucking urge."
"Now?"
"Now! I have found the right use for my blood-sucking urge."
"Really? Shinji is amazing!"
Elquet's face was filled with joy, and he completely released the impulse that he had been suppressing since that rampage, and let it all in.
On the other side, Shinji was ready for battle. At the moment when the tsunami-like pressure came, the direction determined by the birth of the soul and the essence accumulated through countless reincarnations were released.
The illusory impulse turned into reality, the uncontrollable part was vented outward in the form of impact, and the remaining part turned into a barrier in the form of mist under the guidance of its own mental power, which not only blocked the blood interference from the "True Red Fruit", but also blocked the counter-injury to itself from the impact.
This was not only the experience of escaping death last time, but also the accumulation of years. The usual sharing made him familiar with the blood-sucking impulse, and his tolerance was greatly strengthened; the previous experience filled in the last fragments and gave him a way to vent the excess blood-sucking impulse. The combination of the two finally allowed him to find this way.
PS: Actually, according to the description and settings in the novel, the Grand Duke's stake can only come out from underground or from places touched by the body, and at most it can add a projection attribute. But in the FA animation, the Grand Duke can actually perform the "stake control technique" and even the "stake flying" which is simply magical, so Erye also became magical.
PS2: I have always remembered Red A's Unlimited Blade Works Aria. I haven't forgotten it for ten years. It was in English, but I don't remember the Chinese part very clearly. I watched that part many times and memorized it unconsciously. The earlier one was Lina Inbas's "Something darker than dusk, something redder than blood--", which was also a blast to say.
