A/N: Welp, here's the new chapter that I was procrastinating about, and as mentioned in the previous chapter this has a bit of a time-skip, 5 years later to be exact, also this WAS gonna be a VERY big chapter, But I split it into two parts because I couldn't get the drive to write after that point, thus the delay, also harem list will be at the end along with whatever else I'm gonna say.
-Chapter 3: The Last boss appears
Fire.
Not like my dad's that were a beautiful silver color.
Monsters.
Not the ones my dad created for him to spar against.
Screams of terror, screams of the dying, Screams of help.
I ignored them all, and I have no idea why
The darkness, the blood.
Whatever I had left of my own self agreed it was a beautiful sight if only for the contrasting colors.
Hell
No, even Hell wouldn't be enough to describe this place, which had now become a garden of blood, dread and horror.
Please, dad save me!
Dad? Did I even have a father?
PLEASE, STOP!
Huh? Stop what, this blood is quite delicious if I do say so myself.
And then everything burned away in a golden inferno.
When I was next aware, it was the recess of my Mindscape, My reality marble.
Gone were the horrors which I was subjected to once, instead replaced by sight that can bring calm to my entire being.
A dark sky, which even if compared to the color black would not be enough to fully describe the darkness that spread across the sky, My sky.
A crimson moon, Which would be more comparable to the sphere of blood I had somehow been able to conjure once.
Golden grass, Grass that seemed to glow ethereally and release embers from time to time were just the physical representation for one of the elements that made up most of me.
Fire.
And then the most eye-catching thing, not the sky, not the moon, not even the grass, but-
The swords
An infinite number of swords stabbed to the ground on which I stand, being licked at by the golden grass, they stood like grave stones, as if waiting for someone to wield them, and that person is me, for each sword was an extension of me, that combined with everything here were nothing-
But a part of me.
-U.G.W.-
It's been 5 years since I was saved from the fire and I got this ability, the current me can fight my father for 2.5 seconds before I'm defeated, that's a very big achievement really, I also got stronger

I got something new called alignment, and as it turns out I'm chaotic good, basically an unpredictable good guy, at least that's what my dad says, his alignment was apparently the same as well, also I didn't get any more power boosts, even though I found out I was a quarter god…it was my dad who let it out while he was drunk, honestly knowing him I at least expected to find it out at the end of a grandiose quest, I didn't miss the pout he had when I learned of what I am, also the first thing he said to me when I woke up today was
"I'm going to take you to a new dimension and leave you in the care of a friend for a few months tomorrow""…"
I was quiet
"Well…?"
"…He's gonna die tomorrow isn't he?"My father sighed and ran his hands through his long Silver hair
"Yeah…If I was personally affected by it I could've cured it…but this type of curse is completely foreign to me…I'm sorry Shirou"
I shook my head
"You tried your best…"
My adoptive father, as it turned out was afflicted by a very nasty curse, it was a curse which was specifically meant to end humans.
My father who had mostly dragon blood running through his veins had never come in contact with such a curse and thus does not even know where to start in order to heal him.
My adoptive father will die…but I'll make sure his last day will be the happiest day of his life
That's weird usually I'd get a quest for something like this right about now…maybe it's impossible…but I'm gonna try my best!
I got up from the bed, that's when a sudden jolt from my right arm made me clutch it
"It still hurts, huh?"
"Yeah…"
I removed my hand and tiny sword like objects could be seen piercing my skin.
"Here, give me your arm"
I did as instructed, my dad held my right arm and looked at it closely then he put his right hand over mine
"Second arc: Rebirth and Reconstruction…analyzing structure…detecting anomalies… structure analyzed…anomalies detected, commencing reconstruction"
A golden magic circle appeared on my dad's hand, and a golden light covered my arm
"Reconstruction in process"
Then my dad had a mischievous smile…and I felt my heart drop
"Adding elements to Reconstruction, combining anomalies with added elements"
Then the glow disappeared
"Reconstruction complete"
I gawked at my new arm
"Wha- what the hell dad!?"
My arm was now covered in miniature swords each pointing upwards toward my shoulder, there were pulsating crimson lines that glowed, my mana flowing through them, there was also a golden jewel on the back of my hand with a sword symbol in it, the jewel was glowing with an almost ethereal golden light.
-Ping-
Armor: [Sword arm of the Blaze Blade Dragon] added!
[In human form Dragons have a greater offence and speed, but their defense is lacking, over the years Dragons have learned how to project their scales as cool looking armors, the armors can be any size or shape, but the appearance will be mostly same due to it being made of scales, additionally every dragon has a special ability they get when they equip each of their armors.]
[Sword arm of the Blade Dragon: It is a gauntlet made from the scales of your dragon form, the brighter the lines glow the more mana you are using, and through the golden jewel you will be able to summon one of your [?]'s when certain conditions are met
Ability: Able to create swords with low mana cost, the shape and size of the swords will depend on your imagination and the strength will depend on your current level [Can't have you creating God class weapons right off the bat now can we?]
Increases strength of arm by 50%
Increases Throwing strength by 100%
Decreases mana cost of spells casted through this arm being used as a conduit by 10%
Increases endurance by 5
Special ability:
Garden of Swords (Active): When the symbol in the Jewel starts flashing punch your arm on the ground and watch as swords Sprout from the ground and make your own garden
Strength depends on level, attack will be 2x stronger than created swords]
[Range: Depends on Mana used]
I stared at the abilities and then at my arm…honestly it was really cool-looking
I sighed and got on my way to make breakfast.
-U.G.W.-
Breakfast was as usual, a normal Japanese breakfast for Jii-san, a feast for Fuji-nee, and Cake for dad…He loves cake, honestly both his cakes and coking are so much better than mine (Something I absolutely loathe to admit) but he still insists that I cook for him, till this day I don't know why…
"Dad do you want some more-"
Today I saw something that I had never seen before, and I daresay it actually is a pretty scary sight, My dad had a serious face…
"Dad…what's wrong?"
"Illya…"
At that moment Jii-San spit out all the food in his mouth, and looked at dad with a serious face
"How did you-"
"I read your diary last night"
"You could've told me earlier, she would've been saved by now"
Dad sighed and ran a hand through his long hair
"Kerry, at most you have a day or so to live, and I'm gonna make sure that you spend your remaining time with your daughter"
Dad got up, I was about to berate him about not wasting food, until I realized he already ate it…sometimes I forget he's not human
"Shirou, get ready we're going"
"Wait we?"
"You're taking Shirou?"
"No, I'm sending him, I will be his back up, also Illya is sort of like Shirou's adoptive sister, and the duty of protecting the younger siblings falls upon the older brother"
"Shirou's older than her?"
At that moment
"Hmm, what are you guys talking about?"
Fuji-nee asked us after she somehow managed to take her mind away from the food
Before anyone could answer
"We were discussing which girl Shirou would lose his virginity to"
Seemingly more interested than before with a slight tinge of pink on her cheeks she asked
"And?"
Dad shrugged, and answered nonchalantly
"It's a tie between you and Kiritsugu's daughter"
Fuji-nee's cheeks became ten octaves redder and she fainted
Well that was anti-climatic, I was expecting some explosions at least
I looked at my dad
"You're way too good at this"
He shrugged his shoulder again
"Perks of living for a long time, anyways skip school today, I'm sending you to Germany"
"Ah okay"
In hindsight? I should've listened to his words more carefully, definitely regretted it.
-U.G.W.-
"Achoo!"
"Creator bless your soul"
"I wouldn't even need blessing if you had come with me"
"But alas, I'm here and you're in Germany"
I growled and I'm pretty sure my elongated canines were showing
"Screw you dad"
"Love you too son"
With that I cut the mental link between us, as I made my way through the snowstorm towards the castle which held my sister captive
I also got this
-Quest-
Rescue Illya!
Save your adoptive little sister and take her back to the father she always wanted to see and get the answers she so desperately feels that she deserves.
Time limit: 3 hours
Reward: 50,000 XP!
Illya's affection!
Leysritt's affection!
Sella's affection!
Skill book: Nine Lives Blade works: One Hundred Arrow Strikes
Failure: Illya will try her very best to kill you
Letsritt will try her very best to kill you
Sella will try her very best to kill you
Servant ? will try ? very best to kill you
I sweat dropped and the failure punishments, and somehow stopped myself from laughing, even if they tried to kill me it would be utterly impossible, nothing and I mean nothing can permanently kill me.
I sighed and fastened the scarf around my neck as I somehow navigated through this snowstorm.
-U.G.W.-
"Yo~, anyone there~?...Huh? guess he hung up on me"
The silver haired young boy who could easily pass off as a high-school student muttered to himself
"Well…you did send him to Germany, alone might I add without even a map to point him in the right direction"
Said an middle aged man who could pass off as a man who would die tomorrow…which coincidentally is true
"you see it as a right to get angry, I see it as a way to hone his more beastly instincts"
The man deadpanned
"Maybe if you sent him to a more tamer place…""Nonsense, it's basically a rite of passage for him, despite our demonic heritage perfectly molding into our draconic one, we are still descended from a great and powerful Demon wolf, the First Evanight"
If the man was surprised, he didn't seem surprised.
"I suppose it's believable, for an individual like yourself only a demon would go the closest to describing you"
If the silver haired boys son was around, he might have pouted to show his displeasure, but now-
The room froze over, as the temperature dropped…literally
The rays of the sun shining through the ice cast a beautiful rainbow close to the boy, but as it stood-
The savage grin that tore his face, would not make the man's claim of the boy being a demon a lie
"You've haven't even lived a fraction of how long I have, and yet you came to that conclusion, and a long time ago, bravo~"
"...How long have you known about Illya"
It was more of a demand than a request, but instead of getting angry at the tone, the boys grin grew wider
"Even before Shirou was born"
"…Was the fire…"
The question was left unfinished, but both understood the implications
"Nope~ but I must say it was quite a work of…art for lack of better word, and it wonderfully forged my son, preparing him for any horror he may face in the future"
"Your wife, did you even love her?"
If possible the temperature dropped even further, The boy scoffed
"Of course I cared for her and protected her, and it was second closest I got to ever loving someone"
"So you see Shirou as nothing but a tool?"
The temperature in a second grew to unimaginable levels, subliming the ice to steam in an instant.
Even though he was not completely affected by the cold, the old man could not himself from dry-heaving at the new more hotter one.
All in instant, the temperature returned to normal
"Even though I have lost my ability to truly love anything in existence, Shirou is an existence like myself, and thus my love for him is genuine"
"I see…then…other than Shirou…"
With an innocent and completely sweet smile on his face the young boy that would seem completely normal on any other boy within the same age group as his appearance, he replied
"I don't care if this entire world were to burn to ashes, In fact I believe it is both my destiny and my job to do it one day"
The old man laughed
"And they used to call me ruthless…"
The boy shrugged
"Ruthless is such a harsh term, I prefer Merciful, would Humans rather want a slow, painful and agonizing death, or a quick and painless death, that only I am allowed to offer"
There was uncomfortable silence that fell upon them, the man broke it first.
"Didn't you say you were a hero, I though Heroes were supposed to save people"
At that the boy gave a confused look before realization
"I forgot that you were a normal human"
He said as if it was the greatest discovery he had ever made, he coughed and then continued
"Listen carefully, and I can't believe I'm saying it to a guy whose gonna die tomorrow, Every god you ever heard about exists, but they did not just magically appear out of nowhere, they were created, much like everything else, by the creator"
He grinned again
"The creator is a being whose power is Absolute, I may be gunning for the position of 1st strongest in all of creation, and I would probably also get stronger following that particular event, but no matter how strong I get, the difference would always be the same, a speck of dust to infinity itself"
He then tapped his chin with his finger
"Sorry kind of went on a tangent there, as I was saying the Gods were created, the creator also created humans, and urged these gods to create Humans as well, as they were all granted the power of the book of beginning, end and everything in between, the gods created humans, but were unable to create a connection so that those that had died while following their religion would end up in heaven, it is my duty, as a guardian to guide the dead to heaven"
The man spoke again
"But didn't you say-"
But the boy interrupted
"Ah! That's just my hero complex coming to play, I only destroy worlds, when one year later they would naturally be destroyed, and when a world is naturally destroyed, well…I suppose you can get where I'm coming from"
The man nodded, and before he could speak
"It also plays a part as to I time travelled a lot, I was saving all of creation from certain doom, destroyed by beings who would make the likes of the gods you worship, quake in their boots, and thus I gained the title of first hero, and am even worshiped as a God in quite a few dimensions"
The man was finally able to speak
"…Are you a megalomaniac hell-bent on sending your son down the same path?"
The boy replied instantly
"Yes"
All was quiet again, a normal parent would've argued further with the boys choice of parenting, then again Kiritsugu Emiya, dubbed the 'Magus Killer' was hardly a normal parent.
-U.G.W.-
"Finally! Suck it dad!"
The joyous shout that erupted from me was due to a perfectly good reason, First of all I was sent to a remote location, in a forest, during a snowstorm, without directions.
After walking for what may have been eternity I arrived at the edge of an extremely strong bounded field, normally this would deter someone but…
I Brought out an item from my inventory, a spear to be exact, a spear which I have named
"Pierce through all that stands in my way Longinus spear!"
I pierced the bounded field, and a circle big enough for me to get through opened up, I passed the opening the bounded field returned back to its original state, that proves it Longinus is the strongest weapon my dad gave me.
Shaking my head I continued my trek through the forest overlooking the road which hopefully led to the mansion.
But then I froze looking at the blue box that appeared in front of me
-Ping-
You have encountered a boss!
Due to you not being sufficiently strong enough to defeat boss, a distress signal has been sent out!
-Ping-
You have entered am illusion barrier!
Illusion barrier-Empty
I did not even need to see the messages to know that I was screwed.
In front of me casually leaning against a tree, was a guy who looked around 24 at most, he had long black hair, dark crimson eyes, the right eye had the symbol of a reverse-cross in it, he has sharp fangs too, wearing black armor, he kept looking at me with a smirk, that I already hated.
Although my hatred and fear grew when I observed him

[THE DATA OF KIRITIKA BAHAMUT CANNOT BE READ!]
My dad told me about this guy…
Apparently he is the only being in all of creation who my dad absolutely Loathes
In fact, the first time my dad talked about him I developed a sense danger skill, and it leveled up all the way to 53 simply due to the killing intent he was radiating, and I could've sworn, for a second his eyed turned red.
Before I could think random thoughts any further, Bahamut spoke
"You…have the same face my dear Silver did…"
I had to suppress a shiver from running down my spine, he had a very creepy voice, mostly because when he spoke I heard two voices emanating from his throat
I took out Longinus once more, and pointed the tip at him
Bahamut chuckled, probably sounding more intimidating due to the dual voices, all I have to do is hold out, I know my dad's coming.
"Foolish child…do you honestly believe you can hold out...you may be like us, but we can end your existence as easily as you would crush an ant"
This time I couldn't stop myself from shivering, this wasn't fear mind you, [Gamers' Mind] takes care of that, no it was the excitement, all dragons desire to test their mettle against stronger opponents, sadly I was no exception…I'm kidding, I am scared here, but not in mind, in soul, His aura is so dark and evil, it makes my soul shiver in fear, and there's not much that [Gamers' Mind] can do against negative emotions that come from the soul…gonna have to ask Dad to change that.
But First-
"[Fire lance]!"
I raised my left hand and used one my strongest fire spells, a spear made of crimson and golden flames materialized in my hand and I threw it at him, once it hit, it exploded and created a tower of flames, without looking back I made a run for it, but before I even took a single step
I felt a hand grab my leg and my blood turned cold
'Shi-'
Before I could even that single word in my mind I was thrown across the forest, and probably broke a lot of trees, I'm probably gonna get sued by Gaia for damaging her property but at the moment, that is the least of my concern.
I got up with a groan, turned on the HUD with a single mental command and looked at my health, I had to repress a wince as I looked at it
Hp: 297/29760
How the hell am I even standing-
Is what I would've said if I didn't go through hellish training with Dad, and had my Hp hit 0 a lot of times, it's nice to know that you only just faint, like Pokémon.
I took a deep breath and looked around, there was no sign of that…monster for lack of better word.
"Onii-Chan…?"
I mechanically turned around, and behind me was the Girl I had come to rescue, Such was my luck, if it were any other situation it would be a blessing, but as it is now…
"Run-"
I somehow wheezed out, despite the pain in my lungs, and then I froze
I'm not supposed to have pain in my lungs [Gamers' Body] is supposed to negate stuff like these.
There was only one explanation, and the dark aura emanating from my chest more than proved it-
I got cursed
I could feel Avalon trying it's best to get rid of it, but as it stands, only My Dad can do so
I turned towards Illya, and only now noticed the two maids standing protectively in front of her, guess these two must be Letsritt and Sella.
Great
The pain in my lungs were gone
"Listen Illya"
I could see her wince, but I paid it no mind
"I'm gonna send you to your father, please don't say anything, and if you are, tell it to Jii-Sans face-"
"Nope"
Yeah…Did not see this coming, Bahamut had appeared before me again
I gritted my teeth, and thought frantically of a way to escape, or at least to let the girls escape…but deep down I knew…
Death was Eminent
But I wasn't gonna let him kill them, I got into a stance with Longinus and prepared for my upcoming battle
-U.G.W.-
The young Silver-haired parent watched from afar the situation that was unfolding, using a magic circle that projected the images.
"Hmm, I could choose to interfere here…but this could be an opportunity for Shirou to grow…Of course I have to save those girls first…what a hassle"
"Indeed it is, but he is your son you know"
A beautiful girl with black hair and red eyes, said while leaning over the boys shoulder, she looked no older than 17 as well
"I am fully aware of that fact, Kira"
The girl pouted
"You do know, that even though we're not connected by blood, I see him as a Son too"
The boy laughed and answered
"I know"
Then the girl smiled
"But Since he is YOUR son, I'm pretty sure, he will come out of this stronger than ever"
"That he will"
The Girl giggled, and rested her head on the boys shoulder
"Well then, be prepared to Intervene, Master~"
The boy with a slight tinge on his cheeks shot back
"Stop calling me that"
"But you like it"
The girl smirked and held his arms in an embrace
A/N: well, this is where it ends next chapter will start with an action scene, a fight between Bahamut and Shirou, which he will lose of course, other than that see ya
Harem: ~Secret~ (Honestly? Too tired to type, but most of the people you guys wanted are there, so Hooray?)
P.s. I got chills writing that particular scene between Shirou's dad and Kerry, damn you can basically see the insanity
