Fate/strange fake (Free-Range Spoilers)

[Sherrinford]

Act 2 Berserker

Hey Five, if you had a portrait of Napoleon, would you summon Napoleon? :P

What is even the life of a magus? If you reach the Root you're going to receive a sealing designation. What's the point?

Flat Escardos is in only because partecipating and meeting with seven heroes would be epic. I so totally relate to him. 100/10 would want to have as a Master.

Because the holy grail is cool, that's why. Perfect. Now I want a spinoff of Flat travelling the world uncovering lost magical artefacts.

Of course, the awesome adventures of Flat Escardos and his seven hero friends. Jesus christ, this guy. (it isn't actually a bad idea, maybe not the world, but you would be indeed a powerful magus)

What is even the grail's screening method? Like you just show up and the first three get their (cool) command spells, because sure, why not, have fun with it?

Jack is the chillest servant.

So wait, Flat knew he was going to summon Jack the Reaper? Wow... he's even more crazy than I thought.

For someone who isn't ready to kill people, to summon the perfect killer...

Damn, Faldeus.

He's got some level of common sense though. He took a picture of Gilgamesh but didn't really make a big fuss because he knew he'd be killed instantly.

Speaking of Flatt, since no one bothered mentioning it. He was born in Monaco and went on some large casino ship which had some age restriction, but the owner let him play in exchange for Flatt showing him some of his magic, said owner being a dead apostle.

Fem seems like a pretty nice guy.

It's beautiful.

I mean I get the feeling it isn't just raw luck and the kid is actually very competent, if a bit of an oddball, so when things succeed it just looks like luck.

Unless its been specified that yes, it is luck.

At high enough level, genius is undistinguishable from insanity.

[Vagrant]

The more I read of this the more I feel this whole thing is just Narita being mad at Nasu for not letting him write Tsukihime stuff instead.

FSF is turning out fantastic but damn I'd be on the hype train for Tsuccanohime. Narita writing that setting would be ridic good.

If we go by the Tmitter April's Fool from this year, he is actually rather knowledgeable. I think he is a fool savant with tons of luck and talent.

Or better yet, Tsukivamp!, or Vamphime!

[Kat]

It's just that his personality is not fitting much one of a magus, so that's why he is called a fool by Waver. Talented he is, but a fool.

[mewarmo990]

Best accidental summon yet.

[Hawkeye]

Best accidental summon yet.

I get the awful feeling Jack is gonna die saving Flat, only to note that it didn't matter what a monster he was before, he's a good guy now...

That was in the pages you posted right.
I remember reading casino boat, showing owner magecraft, and that owner was a dead apostle but I never put 2 and 2 together.

True Assassin's EX Presence Concealment is Li Shuwen "one with the universe" level, cooool

yes I'm slowpoke, paid almost no attention to FSF until April Fool's.

I figured since he's becoming one with shadows, that's already one with the world.
either way this theme song should be "From Shadows"

“Ho.”
Looking at the golden ship which managed to arrive before him, Archer exhaled a quiet mumble. A low mumble, which behind it contained shades of frank admiration and slight self-mockery.
“You attempted to take me by surprise. You better not be begging for your life.”
In reaction to Gilgamesh who jumped down from the bow to the hill, Archer, who was about 10 meters away, gradually brought his face up eerily.
“….”
“Do you have any last words?” asked Gilgamesh, but the mysterious Archer did not even attempt a reply. Saying nothing, he silently drew his bow. And then without hesitation, shot an arrow towards Tine, whose head was exposed from the rear seat of Vimana.
“!”
The faster than sound arrow headed towards Tine’s face. She could mitigate the force of the shockwave with a powerful wind barrier, but it wouldn’t be able to completely hold off the arrow. Tine once again recognized the incoming death that was closing in on her, but –
Vimana’s add-on interception noble phantasm shot it down in front of her.
“Fool, did you think it would no longer activate if I was no longer on it?”
“….”
Ignoring Gilgamesh, Archer fired two, three more shots continuously. Tine had already hid herself behind the hull, but he continued drawing his bow with force as if he were to penetrate Vimana’s armor. There was a cracking sound to the side of Gil’s head. Anyone watching should know what he was trying to do. He wasn’t seriously trying to shoot through the ship to get to Tine; he we taunting the hero called Gilgamesh. Either not realizing he was being taunted, or realizing it but being angered by the fact that Archer was continuing to target the girl and ignore him, Gilgamesh continued speaking with anger in his detached tone of voice.
“If victory is all that matters to you, or if you would choose to win painlessly, that is the right decision to make. I might do the same on a whim depending on the circumstance.”
And then, in the next instant –
“But it is because I am the one doing it that it can be tolerated! It is not an act that is allowed for the likes of you!”
Shouting the unreasonable, Gilgamesh fired countless noble phantasms from the Gate of Babylon opening behind him. It seemed that this rain of blades mixed with high rank noble phantasms would leave nothing remaining of Archer. But he waved the bow he was holding with his left hand and knocked aside the noble phantasms that had been fired at a speed that defied the common sense of heroic spirits.
“What?”
“…”
The Heroic Spirit who deflected dozens of noble phantasms without a scratch silently held out his hand towards Gilgamesh. And then, he turned it over palm side up and curled his fingers back and forth, beckoning for Gilgamesh to come. Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes and had his voice reverberate over the hill with a voice of restrained rage.
“I see that you have nimble fingers. Then….how about this?”
Gilgamesh put on a malicious smile and deployed the Gate of Babylon over a large area around the hill. Deployed over all sides around Archer, the entrance to his vault began to undulate like a tornado. Suddenly, innumerous noble phantasms were blasted out with the momentum of a machine gun, creating a tornado of light and impact high above the hill. Dozens, hundreds, thousands of noble phantasms came raining down onto the man standing in the center of the tornado. At times, they were blades, at times they were knowledge, at times they were pain, at times they were knowledge. There had been a long sword that slayed an oriental dragon. There had been a demonic sword that brought ruin. There had been a spear that killed heroes. There had been lightning without form. The originals of all the noble phantasms humanity had obtained or created were propelled unsparingly. A hellish rain spun by mankind was fired in all directions in 360 degrees. Tine seeing the amazing sight had imagined that not even chunks of flesh would remain of Archer. But once the tornado settled, a spectacle that betrayed Gilgamesh and Tine’s expectations greeted them. In it was Archer, still uninjured, brushing off the dust from the long piece of cloth covering his body, and around him, piles of innumerous noble phantasms.
“It can’t be…” said Tine, her eyes bulging in disbelief, but Gilgamesh ignored her and looked at his foe.
For some time, silence dominated the hill, but that was soon broken by Archer’s chuckling.
”Heh….hehheh…..hgh….ha…hahaha…”
An obviously mocking voice emerged from behind the cloth.
“What is so amusing?” asked Gilgamesh with a blank expression, to which Archer replied back, saying very clearly:
“Weak.”
Anyone who had once faced Gilgamesh would question the sanity of whoever said that.
“….”
Tine felt as if the temperature almost suddenly dropped.
“All you do is throw weapons blindly...even hurling sand would have made a better substitute...“
The mysterious Archer continued speaking in the chilly atmosphere he created.
“Such puerile tricks can defeat only weaklings……or non-thinking beasts.”
He spoke softly but it was evident that what he said had strength in it containing not simple derision but some manner of fixation, of tenacity. .
“……Ho?”
The expression on Gilgamesh’s face changed. Tine was worried that Gilgamesh would explode, but to the contrary, a sliver of a smile appeared around his mouth. In that moment the emotion that controlled Gilgamesh transformed from “anger at the mannerless attacker” to “curiosity in this strong warrior.”
Observing the change in the King of Heroes, the mysterious Archer said, “Draw the sword that lies in the deepest parts of your storage. Then we will be equals.”
Perhaps he had learned of it from someone else, or he had noticed the exception presence in the vault from the previous attack, but Archer was telling Gilgamesh to bring his strongest weapon. 　
Gilgamesh gnashing his teeth smiled and returned the taunt in amusement.
“Ea is no less than my other half. It is not a sword to use against a weakling like you.”
And then, instead of the Ea the Sword of Separation, a single sword appeared in Gilgamesh’s hand. Merodach, the sword said to the original model of the legends of swords of selection in the various lands of the world. He must be planning on testing his opponent with this sword, to determine if he merited drawing Ea, his very symbol, on.
“Prove to me that you are worthy of beholding Ea.”
“What foolishness…you could have avoided death had you drawn it.”
Archer muttered and then lowered his right hand, the one not holding the bow, to the side of his body.
A new piece of “fabric” appeared around it upon doing so. It would appear at a glance to be a band with a plain pattern drawn on it, but those who could see from a different perspective would immediately recognize just how abnormal it was.
“That is….a Noble Phantasm for sure….”
To even Tine’s eyes, the magic covering that band was abnormal. Gilgamesh looked at this cloth covered with a thick divine aura like it had been used by a god itself and narrowed his eyes.
“I feel something different from the gods I know of. But it has the same roots…”
It was a bit of a displeasing noble phantasm to Gilgamesh who claimed to hate the gods. But he was interested to see what move this Archer would play. Gilgamesh boldly waited for his foe to make his move while looking at him in half anticipation. Archer laughed behind the cloth and prepared to release the power of his noble phantasm. Then several seconds later, a blow filled with the divine aura rocked the earth.




God, I hate trying to translate anything involving Gilgamesh. I give up.

Thanks for the update!

The Heroic Spirit who deflected dozens of noble phantasms without a scratch silently held out his hand towards Gilgamesh. And then, he turned it over palm side up and curled his fingers back and forth, beckoning for Gilgamesh to come.

Holy shit, I'm in love.

Gil got fucking TOLD.

Holy shit.

Archer confirmed for Bruce Lee.

Somehow.

[peanuts]

Is this sentence truncated on purpose?

Certainly not. Something about him either learning of Ea from someone else or sensing some kind of exceptional presence from the previous attack in gilgamesh's vault, but telling him to come at him with his strongest weapon....butblahblahblah, I'm tired, I can't word things right, I'm going to sleep.

[I3uster]

Thanks anyway!

[Renko]

True Archer seems to be match against Gilgamesh for him to do that. Nice update!

Certainly not.

Ah, I see.

Thanks for the translation, and get some rest!

[Hawkeye]

... Okay, I knew True Archer was a beast, but this is officially the series rival level insane. I can't wait to find out who this guy is, it's frickin' insane.

Though I can't help but feel that it might not be someone from Gil's time like we expected, or at least not someone from the same part of the world. After all he has that Divine Noble Phantasm, but not the divinity Gil is familiar with.
