"This is... the power of Heroic Spirits!"
Shirou quickly focused his attention on the white dot in the lower right corner of his vision and opened the attribute panel.
The next moment, a semi-transparent panel appeared before my eyes.
[Name: Orihara Shirou]
【Sex: Male】
[Age: 7 years old]
【Height: 134cm】
[Race: Human]
[Bloodline: None]
Special Ability: Unlimited Blade Works
【肉体强度:6→240(10)神经反射:7→361(10)生命力:6→334(10)精神力:27→137(10)】
Looking at the panel that appeared before him, Shirou raised his right hand and clenched it tightly.
"I wonder if I'm even capable of fighting other Heroic Spirits now..."
Normally, the Servants summoned by humans are merely clones of the Heroic Spirits themselves.
However, Servants summoned in Fuyuki City, by harnessing the power of the Holy Grail, are able to completely replicate the personality and power of the corresponding Heroic Spirit.
Of these, Saber, who appears in her true form, is probably the only exception.
Despite possessing the power of a Heroic Spirit, Shirou understands that in direct combat, he would have a very difficult time winning against anyone other than Assassin.
In addition, his Reality Marble is slightly different from that of the future Heroic Spirit Emiya in that timeline.
As a magic spell that materializes mental landscapes, the space within a Realistic Marble naturally changes according to the caster's inner thoughts.
Therefore, Shirou's mental landscape is naturally different from that of the future Heroic Spirit Emiya.
The sword, which was not in my memory, did not appear in that mental landscape.
What appears inside are all the Noble Phantasms that left a deep impression on Shirou's memories.
For example, "Gan Jiang & Mo Xie", "Pseudo-Spiral Sword", etc...
"But that doesn't matter. As long as I can see the original, I can analyze and copy almost all Noble Phantasms below EX level, except for divine weapons."
And in this Holy Grail War, isn't there a Heroic Spirit who possesses the prototypes of all Noble Phantasms?
But in that case, we have to deal with something that Shirou didn't want to think about before.
"To participate in the Holy Grail War...?"
In the past, because he had no power, Shirou had never thought about this matter.
But now, Shirou, whose memories of the time before his death are crystal clear, has come to terms with it.
Not only to protect the people he wants to protect, but also to become stronger, Shirou is determined to step into this Holy Grail War.
Just as he was making up his mind, Shirou suddenly felt an itch on the back of his right hand and couldn't help but lift it up to take a look.
On the back of the raised right hand, scarlet lines began to appear and take shape.
Image: "Command Seals", Location: "Images/1672626404-100352746-109768308.jpg"
"Is this... a stigma?"
The so-called stigmata are magical crystals that appear on the back of the hand or wrist, and are also the exclusive marks of mages participating in the Holy Grail War.
The Holy Grail grants qualified mages certain signs, such as stigmata, which are transformed into Command Seals once the mage completes the Servant summoning ritual.
Looking at the stigmata on the back of his hand, Shirou's eyes lit up slightly.
"In this way, I can have another helper."
Muttering to himself, Shirou left home without further hesitation.
……
It was already 1 a.m.
The hazy clouds obscured the bright moonlight, casting a grayish glow.
The city streets were deserted, the neon lights were blinding, and the lights were dim, creating an illusion that was both real and unreal.
Shirou went to the city park by the river alone.
A quiet park late at night can easily evoke images of a cemetery.
In the deserted square, the dim lights of the street lamps made the darkness and silence seem somewhat scary.
The air quality in Fuyuki City has noticeably changed at night, and Shirou can now sense it.
The Holy Grail War has quietly begun.
"Let's summon it right here."
Having chosen the location, Shirou took out the prepared materials and began setting up the summoning ritual.
"First, draw a magic circle pattern on the ground."
Shirou projected a sword and began drawing a magic circle on the ground.
“The four arrays of ‘Disappear’ and ‘Extinction’ in the middle of the painting form a summoning array.”
While Shirou was preparing the summoning ritual, summoning was taking place simultaneously in several other locations.
……
In a corner of a small mountain town in Fuyuki City, there is an open space amidst rows of trees.
After confirming that no one was around, Waver Velvet carefully began preparing for the summoning ritual.
He took a live chicken out of his backpack. Looking at the chicken flapping its wings in his hand, Weber, who was under a lot of tension, looked around uneasily.
Although they were actually unrelated, the fact that he was secretly performing the summoning ritual still made Waver feel like he was committing a crime.
He took out a knife and cut open the chicken's neck. While the chicken blood was still warm, Webber quickly drew a magic circle pattern on the ground.
"Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, say it five times in a row, but the moment of overflowing must be broken."
……
While Waver was nervously preparing for the summoning ritual, the same ritual was also taking place in the underground workshop of the Tohsaka Mansion, not far from here.
Of course, Tokiomi Tohsaka's materials were undoubtedly superior and more luxurious than Webber's.
The magic circle he drew using the liquid from melting a large amount of gemstones was emitting a shimmering glow.
"The covenant of pure silver and iron, earth and stone, my ancestor and my master."
Xiubaiyin Augu.
"The surging winds block the four walls, close the four gates, and emerge from the crown; they linger at the crossroads leading to the kingdom."
……
At the same time, in the distant city of Einzbern, Emiya Kiritsugu was inspecting the completion of the magic circle painted on the chapel floor.
"Doesn't even such a simple ritual matter?"
From the perspective of Irisviel, who had been guarding her, the preparations seemed a bit too simple and a bit unexpected.
"Perhaps you will be disappointed, but the summoning of a Servant does not require such a grand spirit seance ceremony."
Kiritsugu explained as he carefully examined the pattern drawn with mercury to see if there were any distortions or blemishes.
As if satisfied with the completion of the magic circle, Kiritsugu nodded and stood up.
On the altar lay a sacred relic—the scabbard of the legendary holy sword.
"In this case, the preparation is complete."
……
Throughout history, the night has been imbued with a sense of mystery.
Ghost stories, spirits, murders, mysterious disappearances...
Some of these claims are exaggerated, while others are true, but in any case, the characteristics of the night were established long, long ago, at a time unknown to people.
The moment of the devil.
Besides being a cover, this is also why the Holy Grail War is held at night.
At this moment, Shirou Orihara, who was in Kawabe Park, feeling the biting cold wind of Fuyuki City at night, stood in front of the magic circle, raised his right hand, and chanted the incantation.
"Declare——"
Chapter Four: Karna, the Little Sun
A ray of light began to shine at the center of the drawn magic circle.
"Your body is under my command; my destiny is tied to your sword."
All of Shirou's magical power surged at that moment, and a whirlwind surrounded his body.
"Those who respond to the call of the Holy Grail and follow its will and truth, respond to me!"
Shirou's heart, in a dimension detached from his personal will, began to beat rapidly, like a blaring bell.
Countless deaths seemed to have spurred something out of him, and now he was actually thrilled by the mystery and madness that was about to unfold.
"I am the one who accomplishes all the good deeds in the world, and I am the one who gathers all the evils in the world!"
My heart burned with an unprecedented intensity, as if a flame was burning within me.
"Seven days of entanglement with your three great incantations, come forth through the wheel of suppression, guardian of Libra!!!"
As Shirou concluded his prayer with this phrase, he felt the magical power within him surging wildly.
boom----!
Lightning flashed and thunder roared, and the wind and clouds swirled.
Amidst the intense wind pressure that made it impossible to even open one's eyes, the pattern on the magic circle shone with brilliant light.
Finally, the circuit in the magic circle connected with the Throne of Heroes, and from the dazzling light that kept surging forth, the Heroic Spirits appeared in this world.
