Rin: No…way...…

Even Rin had a dumbfounded expression witnessing the result of her Gandr.

A few minutes ago, she barely did any damage to a single skeleton. And now she killed hundreds of them with just a single shot.

She then looked at her hand before turning her attention to Primis's pendant in her hand.

'Rin: I mere put 0.01% of his power into my magic, yet it increased the strength of Gandr to such degree.'

While she was still pondering over it, the Grim Reaper turned his attention on her.

'Grim Reaper: Did she just said "Zenith"?'

Moving his attention to the blue pendant in Rin's hand, he finally came to a conclusion.

'Grim Reaper: That pendant definitely contain "Zenith" instead of magic. I must get my hands on it.'

SWOOSH!!!!!!!

For the first time, Grim Reaper moved and charged towards Rin.

Gilgamesh: Where you are going, Mongrel?

FWOOSH!!!

FWOOSH!!!

FWOOSH!!!

FWOOSH!!!

...

Rains of swords fell on the Grim Reaper. Still, instead of hurting him, they passed through him like before.

Gilgamesh: Damn.

While Gilgamesh was frowning, Archer intercept the Grim Reaper.

Archer: Not so fast.

SLASH!!

SLASH!!

He slashed with his two blades but just like before they passed through Grim Reaper's body who then passed through the Archer body and reached Rin.

She also saw that and hurriedly gathered her magic in her hand.

Primis' pendant glow weakly again and merged with her magic.

Rin: Seben, sechs, fünf, spiegel, blume, blühen und stolz sein!(Bloom, seventh, sixth, fifth mirror and flower).

Once she said the spell name, the Gandr bullet that shot out of her finger divided into multiple colored ones.

TIU!!!

TIU!!!

TIU!!!!

...

Grim Reaper: ......

DING!!!

DING!!!

DING!!!

FWOOSH!!

FWOOSH!!!

...

Because the Grim Reaper was trying to reach out of the pendant, he had to return to physical state.

As a result, Rin attack was able to touch him.

The Grim Reaper brought his scythe in front to block some of the bullets before moving back to dodge the others.

SLASH!!

CLING!!!

Archer returned to Rin's side and attacked which Grim Reaper stopped again. Though after their clash, Archer narrowed his eyes.

'Archer: His strength isn't that high. It didn't even reach Pseudo-God level.'

DING!!

When he got pushed back, the Grim Reaper got attacked by the rains of swords which again passed through his body like before.

FWOOSH!!!

FWOOSH!!!

FWOOSH!!!

...

….

BANG!!!

BANG!!!!

BANG!!!!

...

The swords fell in the lake while Archer was looking intensely at the Grim Reaper.

'Archer: According to 'him', the equipment of these invaders will be something that will get rid of their weakness. However, since this person main stat is Magic then his main disadvantage could be both speed and endurance. Or......…'

As if realization struck him, Archer continued.

'Archer: Disadvantage. Why am I thinking his other weaker stats? It's a common what the weakness of some like him who is using Death magic. It's Holy Magic.'

By now, the Grim Reaper moved and charged towards Rin again.

Preparing himself, Archer continued his thoughts.

'Archer: Since Holy Magic is his main weakness then that cloak must be something that will provide him with high Holy Resistance or Immunity. That must be why 'he' didn't let Saber confront it. Because even if she would use her Noble Phantasm, it won't do much here.'

After coming to this conclusion, Archer shared his thoughts with Rin while staying close to her.

{Rin: If that what his cloak is for then this means his Scythe is something what will increase the strength of Death Magic.}

{Archer: Yes.}

{Rin: Hmmm..................Archer, in that case, doesn't this mean a single blow from either you or Gilgamesh is all it will take to end him.}

{Archer: Yes. Compared to him, our base strength is at Pseudo-God levels.}

{Rin: Um......…Though, I don't think this is going to be easy.}

{Archer: Yeah.}

Replied Archer as the Grim Reaper was already in front of them and swung his scythe at Rin.

Archer moved in front to intercept but before he could do so, the scythe disappeared.

Widened his eyes, Archer slashed behind.

SLASH!!

CLING!!!

The attack was blocked. Or they thought when a huge amount of Death aura burst out of the ground knocking both Archer and Rin away.

BOOM!!!

Rin: Auh!!!

Archer: Guh!!

Rin was thrown towards the Skeletons who attacked her with their skeletal sword.

ROLL!!!

Rolling to the side she tried to dodge it. Still, since there were many of them, one slash still made its way on her back.

SLASH!!

SPLURT!!!

Rin: Argh!!!

Rin screamed in pain as the blood gushed out of her back.

Archer: Rin!

Archer shouted in worry as Rin took some jewels out of her pocket and threw them around her.

Rin: Sechs, fünf, vier, Verzehren Sie den Schatz! Vernichten Sie den Schatten des Feindes!(Sixth, fifth, fourth, fire all! Do not spare even one of enemies' shadows).

SHINE!!!

SHINE!!!

SHINE!!!

...

All those jewels started shinning brilliantly before they exploded.

BOOM!!!!!!

BOOM!!!!!!!!!!

BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...

Huge explosions occurred and destroyed almost all the skeletons.

Gilgamesh, Archer, and Grim Reaper moved back hurriedly.

Not only that. Since Rin put the Zenith into the jewels, more than 60% of the area inside this domain got destroyed.

As all three of them were looking at the smoke, dust, and cloud that had rose, Grim Reaper all of sudden made his move and charged inside.

Archer also followed behind him witnessing that.

SWOOSH!!!

Grim Reaper was flying towards Rin's direction even if he can't see anything. He knew that since Rin used such big explosions, she must definitely have a way to protect herself. And behold, he was right.

Before he could even reach her, he could see a blue light in some distance. By the time, he reached it, he saw Rin crouching on the ground holding Primis' pendant which was releasing Zenith to create a barrier around Rin, protecting her.

It was too late for Rin to react as the Grim Reaper attacked with his scythe.

SLASH!!

DING!!!!

However, to his astonishment, not only did it barely put a crack on it but also the rebound force pushed him back.

This was enough for Rin to turn her attention to him. She hurriedly took out a jewel threw at Grim Reaper's direction.

Rin: Stark Groß zwei!

Grim Reaper become dumfounded witnessing Rin's action. He even though that she had lost her mind since she was attacking him while still being inside the barrier.

Though, the next thing caught him off guard.

FLASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was not an attack spell but a flash spell which blinded his vision.

As he covered his face with his skeleton hand, Archer appeared, courtesy of the flash and slash at him.

SLASH!!!

The swords still went his body like before.

Even though he was blinded, the Grim Reaper still knew to defend himself.

'Archer: What a pain.'

Clicking his tongue, Archer decided to ignore the Grim Reaper for now and approached Rin who had lowered her barrier.

He then picked her up and retreated.

While he was doing so, he noticed that Rin face was somewhat pale.

As he was about to ask, Rin spoke.

Rin: Archer, I have a plan to defeat him.

Archer: You do?

Rin: Yes. But for that we also need Gilgamesh help.

Nodding his head, Archer changed his direction and rushed towards Gilgamesh after coming out of the smoke.

After reaching him, he put Rin down.

On the other hand, Gilgamesh ignored them with his attention entirely on the direction of the Grim Reaper.

Rin: Gilgamesh, I have a plan by which we can end this fast. For that I require your help.

Gilgamesh: I don't need your help, Mongrel. I can end this on my own.

Rin: I won't deny that. How could "King of Heroes" lose to some Grim Reaper?

Gilgamesh: Hmph. At least you know that much.

Rin: Yes. However.....................if we follow my plan, we can end it faster.

Hearing this, Gilgamesh glanced back at Rin. Noticing the determination and confidence in her eyes, he become silent. If it was other time, then he would have declined but not now. Why? Because they both knew that were running out of time.

Turning his head in front, he opened his mouth.

Gilgamesh: What is it?

Smiling Rin explained her plan to both of them. Once she was done, both Archer and Gilgamesh started pondering about it before deciding to go with this.

SWOOSH!!!

By the time they were done, the Grim Reaper charged out of the Smoke.

He looked at them menacingly before raising his scythe again.

With this their battle continued and time went by.

Rin: *HUFF* *HUFF* *HUFF*

Rin was breathing heavy while standing at one end of the domain. They had been fighting for a few hours non-stop. And as a human it was very taxing for her.

Gilgamesh was standing on the other end of the domain. While Archer standing on the other end. Compared to Rin, they were breathing evenly.

However, if one saw closely, they will notice that Gilgamesh face was extreme pale just like Rin's.

All three of their attention was on the Grim Reaper who was floating on top of the now destroyed lake without any injury on it.

Their confrontation till now had destroyed more than 90% of the area.

Grim Reaper looked at all of them and spoke.

Grim Reaper: It's all futile. You can't defeat him. And its obvious that you all are already at the end of the ropes.

Gilgamesh snort and didn't bother replying. The same was the case for Archer. But Rin laughed at this and spoke.

Rin: It's true that we are at the end of the rope, but everything is prepared now.

Grim Reaper: Prepared?

Rin: Means, we have won. And You lost.

As Grim Reaper was wondering whether she had lost it since they failed to lay a single attacked on him. Rin shouted and her command seal started shinning.

Rin: Now, Archer!!

Nodded Archer as he got the boost of magic from Rin. And then......…

.

.

I am the bone of my sword

Steel is my body and fire is my blood

I have created over a thousand blades

Unknown to Death,

Nor known to Life.

Have withstood pain to create many weapons

But yet, those hands will never hold anything

So as I pray, Unlimited Blade Works.

.

Once the incantations have been completed, an illusionary fire that did not emit any heat spread out to form a boundary and wall for the Bounded Field. The bright light filled the vision of those present, and manifested an open, barren desert with monolithic black gears gyrating in the distance. It was a kingdom of rubble littered with thousands, perhaps a countless number, of swords anchored in the ground like grave markers in a wasteland yet were well preserved. It was a world likened to a steel mill, filled with weapons, flames, and giant gears. The basis for the world in the Reality Marble was a hill of swords that spread infinitely in Archer's minds.

Grim Reaper: R-Reality Marble. That's not possible. How could you create your own domain inside mine?

Grim Reaper stuttered voice was heard as he can't believe what he was witnessing.

Showing a mocking smile, Rin spoke.

Rin: Its true that if it was at the beginning then Archer won't be able to use it since you have permission to create your own domain inside another one's. However, what if he through damage more that 90% of the domain leaving only its outer layer intact.

Grim Reaper: You don't mean?

Rin: Yes. Archer's reality marble only overrides the inner part of your domain. Hence the people outside will still think it's still your domain since from outside its your domain.

Grim Reaper: Even if its true, its still not easy to overrides my domain like this.

Rin: What if Archer burns away his Spirit Origin.

Grim Reaper: You!

Archer: Trace on.

Electric charges gathered around Archer as they started to take shape. Though before one see their real appearance, they launched hit Grim Reaper's scythe.

DING!!!

DING!!!

DING!!!

DING!!!

...

Grim Reaper came to a stop when he realized something had tangled with his scythe. Looking down he was shocked he see many scythes exactly his scythe own were tied to a chain and holding it in its place.

Rin: It's true that you can use intangible but what now.

Grim Reaper: ..........

Rin: After fighting for so long we have already deduced that as long as we have held your weapon, you can't use your intangibility.

Grim Reaper: You think these fakes could stop me for so long.

Rin: They can't. But a few seconds was all we need............… Right Gilgamesh?

Hearing this Grim Reaper looked at Gilgamesh direction and then horror and dread covered his heart as he saw a red sword in his hand.

Gilgamesh: Yes. That's all this King needs.

Then he pointed it towards Grim Reaper.

Grim Reaper: Wait!!

Gilgamesh: Enuma Elish!!!!
