《Infinite Swordsman and His Cafe》Chapter 33: The Greater Grail
Advertisement
Kojiro looked at the giant building in front of him. This is Ryuudou Temple, a place where he lived in this universe. He walks inside his little house and begins to disassemble all his devices and place them inside his pocket dimension. After taking all of them, Kojiro then flies up to the sky and points his gun at the Temple before pressing the trigger.
The previously dark sky began to shine in rainbow color as his cannon shot a rainbow laser beam at the building. Kojiro sees a barrier appear to hold his cannon attack. However, as the laser beam hit the barrier, it immediately destroyed because of the firepower his weapon had.
He saw his attack hit the building, and coming from the ground of the building appeared a black mist that tried to hold his attack, but it failed. He knows the reason why Angra Mainyu cannot hold even a little bit of his attack. The reason is that he doesn't have enough time to manifest his physical form or at least manifest something physical that is strong enough to hold his attack for a second.
When the laser beam punches through the ground, he suddenly feels another magic spike beside Angra Mainyu trying to survive his attack. He looks to his side and sees a pillar of black light appear from the forest, where Einzbern castle is located. He doesn't know what happened there, but he hopes Zelretch can solve that problem while he tries to destroy this annoying Greater Grail.
While he fueled the attack, Kojiro saw a shadow coming from the ground of Ryuudou Temple and coming toward him.
"I hope you have a plan, Zelretch. I don't want to kill a married woman that is possessed by Avenger."
After saying that, Kojiro creates a run in the air with his other hand while the other one holding the gun and coming from the rune is a bunch of fireballs that launch itself to the wraith.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zelretch appears in the garden of Einzbern castle. He slowly but surely walks to the entrance of the castle, and when he arrives in front of the gate, he touches it and makes it explode before walking inside the castle. As he steps his feet inside the castle, he can feel foul magic around the castle. He knows that Angra Mainyu tries to transfer his consciousness to the vessel of the Grail.
He quickly goes to the source of the foul magic and sees Irisviel von Einzbern screaming in pain while Saber fights a wraith with her sword. He knows that Saber can win this fight, but it will take a while because their location is not large enough for her to maneuver while the wraith can go through a solid wall.
He throws a jewel at the wraith and activates its effect, and suddenly the jewel shines brightly as the wraith gets killed by the power of holy light. He immediately takes out his sword and stabs Irisviel with it and pumps it with a Kaleidoscope.
As he stabs her, the pillar made of a black aura gets consumed by his magic. Slowly the blacklight begins to disappear. Seeing there is no more presence of Holy Grail inside Irisviel, Zelretch begins to heal her.
Zelretch looks at the unconscious body of Irisviel while Saber holds her 'master' while pointing her sword at him.
"My work here is done."
He ignores Saber, pointing her sword at him and waves his hand as he suddenly disappears from Einzbern castle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kojiro waves his hand and kills the last wraith that tries to kill him and sees that his laser beam successfully destroys whatever barrier Angra Mainyu created to defend himself. He then pushes more mana into the weapon and creates a bigger laser. A few seconds later, he sees an explosion happening under his feet; he immediately stops his weapon and sees a blob of black goo explode.

He slowly descended to the ground and activated his magic senses. After confirming that there is no more Angra Mainyu, Kojiro nodded and prepared to leave. However, before he can leave, Zelretch appears in front of him.
"Oh, good, you are done."
"What are you doing here?"
"Making sure that Angra Mainyu will never escape."
"So you purge the remains of Holy Grail from Irisviel, huh?"
"Yup, Now come on, let's not make Sakura worried."
Zelretch opens a portal to Clock Tower, and once again, as they walk through the portal, Kojiro sees people panic about something.
"Kojiro, please go to my Workshop. I will handle this."
He looks at Zelretch for a moment because he doesn't know if this old vampire is serious or not. Nonetheless, Kojiro nodded at him and walked to the Workshop.
When he opens up the door, he sees Gaia playing with Sakura and Fou, while Alaya is sitting on the couch with someone familiar to him, serving her some tea and cake. He knows who the man is serving her, the man in front of him is EMIYA or rather known as Emiya Shirou. When he thinks about that name, he can feel EMIYA look at him with raised eyebrows.
As he walks to the couch, Alaya says.
"Do you want some tea?"
"Sure"
After EMIYA poured some tea in his cup, Kojiro took a sip and widened his eyes. He doesn't know how, but somehow, EMIYA can create a tea that surpasses him in taste.
"How is it? Delicious right?!? Imagine what EMIYA here can do with his skill to make some ice cream. SO~ Do you want to join my force? I can order EMIYA here to make as much ice cream as you like~."
He can see EMIYA look at him in pity as Alaya offers him to join her counterforce once again. He looked at Alaya and smiled a little before saying.
"I'm sorry, but the answer is no"
"Mou~."
He continues to drink his tea while Sakura, who is holding Fou in her hand and then sits down on his lap. Gaia also follows Sakura and sits down next to him while she looks at him in pleading eyes. He sighs a little before giving her another brownie.
"You know you can ask EMIYA over there to make you some snacks, right?"
"No, Alaya Meanie"
"What?"
He looked at Alaya with one eyebrow raised.
"What? I don't want my beloved counter force to serve her. Hmph"
He sighs a little before continuing to enjoy his night with his tea.
A few minutes later, he sees the door is open, and coming from the door is Zelretch that has a massive grin on his face.
"What did you do this time?"
"I made the vice-director paperwork doubled!"
He sighs at that little bit of information and says.
"Goddammit Zelretch"

Immovable Mage
What do you call a mage incapable of casting spells? In this story, we usually call him Terry. When the boy is accepted into Arcana Academy, his talent in the pillars of mana foundation awes everyone. All the bigger is the eventual disappointment when Terry turns out to be an utter failure at spellwork. Diagnosis? Major aspect impairment. No cure. Ever. Faced with expulsion, Terry is blessed with the unexpected kindness of others. Terry loses his spot in the Academy but in exchange, he finds a home with a family. Terry starts to train as a pure mana cultivator but never stops looking for his own path as a mage – day after day, season after season, always searching for compatible spellwork… Until finally, Terry’s perseverance earns him a single spell – the only spell he will ever be able to cast. Disclaimers: Chapter Frequency: I aim for one chapter a week. Chapter Length: I try to keep chapters between 3000 and 6000 words. Binge Preference: I plan for 30 chapters per arc. If you want to binge a complete arc, then that is the number to wait for. I will also add a line to chapters indicating the beginning and end of an arc. Advanced Access: I have created a patreon page with early access to four chapters for patrons. What to Expect: Progression fantasy with a western fantasy setting and with eastern fantasy elements. A main character that is forced to explore a very narrow path of magic due to a permanent condition. A main character that is a part of a larger cast. A main character that is growing but won't become the strongest around anytime soon. A story following a single main character but with introduction or theme setting scenes without the main character. What Not to Expect: Edgy grimdark characters – I will never write a sexual violence scene or gory descriptions of torture. I hate reading it and I would hate writing it even more. Romance – romantic relationships will never be the focus of the story and only appear in the background. The main character is preoccupied with other stuff. Other forms of relationships (family, friends, companions) play a bigger role. Cover: The cover art was commisioned from redditor Linh-Nguyen87. The font is alita brush by Inovatype Typefoundry. Overview: 001–030 Arc 1, Cultivating Perseverance: complete. 031–060 Arc 2, Undying Defiance: complete. 061–090 Arc 3, Unyielding Fury: scheduled for publishing. 091–120 Arc 4, Savage Hope: scheduled for publishing. 121–150 Arc 5, Self-Made Fate: first draft in progress. 151–180 Arc 6, Heretic Style: sketching in progress. Further Arcs are still in the sketching and idea collection phase.

Flashback: Siren Song
The year is 1969. Yancy Lazarus—bluesman, gambler, future world-class mage and fix-it man—is just a dumb, unlucky kid serving with the 3rd Battalion 3rd Marines in Vietnam.With just a few weeks left to go until Yancy gets shipped back to the States, he’s just trying to keep his head down and avoid a body bag—no mean feat in Nam. But when his squad is tasked with conducting a routine patrol deep in enemy territory, everything goes to nine kinds of hell, and he quickly sees his chances at survival slipping away.When the radio operators start to pick up some funky, dirty ol’ blues all the way out in the backcountry, it’s a nice change of pace. At least until the men in Yancy’s squad start losing their minds, turning on each other with murderous intent as the music works its deadly power within them. Convinced it’s some kind of new psychological warfare initiative, the squad leader forces the men to push deeper and deeper into the Vietnamese jungle, obsessed with locating the music’s source. What they find, however, isn’t some new technology, but an ancient spirit awoken by the terrible war. Even worse, the music is changing Yancy too, awakening something buried inside of him. Only one thing is certain, nothing is ever going to be the same.See how it all began … *** PRAISE FOR SIREN SONG:Hunter's writing is as low-down, gritty, and insidious as the blues Yancy Lazarus loves. Just like the mysterious music drifting through the jungle toward Yancy's squad, Siren Song will get under your skin and sink its hooks into your mind. —eden Hudson, Author of Halo Bound (the Redneck Apocalypse series) *** Hey everyone, this is James Hunter. This story isn't a full length novel--its a novella length work (25K words), and is part of my Yancy Lazarus series. Its already free on Amazon, so I thought I'd post chapters here for the good folks of Royal Road. If you don't want to wait for updates or would prefer to read it on Kindle, you can pick it up for free here: https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B01066TLC0
