Chapter 213 Summoning of Heroic Spirits
Kenneth's expression changed abruptly, and his pupils contracted sharply in the blinding blood-red light.

Despite the suddenness of the incident, he quickly calmed down and began to analyze the situation.

In its most fundamental principle, the ritual of summoning heroic spirits is not fundamentally different from the Eastern concepts of "divine intervention" and "spirit initiation," both falling under the category of spirit summoning rituals.

Its core lies in "communication" and "descent," requiring a clear beacon as a medium to allow the spirit to descend.

Through this relic that connects with the heroes on the Throne of Heroes, and through the power of the massive Holy Grail in the Fuyuki City ley lines, the heroic spirits on the Throne of Heroes are ultimately drawn down and shaped into Servants in the present world.

The problem is that he hasn't prepared any relics yet!

He was merely in his study, attempting to replicate the runes from another world, Marvel. He had only sketched out a few symbols when he actually initiated the ritual that he was supposed to be in charge of!

Is it because of the special nature of the Fuyuki Holy Grail itself?
Kenneth's expression turned serious. The information shared by Kayaba Akihiko through that mysterious space was quite complete, including the detailed settings of the Holy Grail summoning ritual in Fuyuki City.

The principle behind the entire system is quite simple and straightforward: the Einzbern family provides the magic circuits of the Celestial Maiden to create the Greater Grail, the Tohsaka family provides the spiritual vein land, and the Machiri family constructs the "Command Seals" system for Masters and Servants.

The three factions joined forces to construct the "Greater Grail" magic circle using the Heaven's Cup, placing it on a spiritual vein to draw upon its magical power.

Once the magical energy has been accumulated, the Greater Grail will automatically select a qualified magician and grant them the status of "Master" and Command Seals.

Afterwards, the Master can use the Holy Grail's power as a bridge to attract the heroic spirits who have left a significant mark on human history through relics and rituals.

The Holy Grail War is a brutal process of "recycling".

The souls and magical energy of defeated Servants are absorbed by the Einzbern family's Lesser Grail.

Once the souls of the seven Servants are accumulated to overflowing, returning the Heroic Spirits to the Throne of Heroes in one breath will open the hole leading to the outside world, the "Vortex of Roots," the ultimate pursuit of all magicians.

The immense magical power accumulated by the Greater Grail will be responsible for maintaining the stable existence of this "hole".

In theory, the ultimate victor will be able to reach the beginning and end of everything—the root—through this hole.

If so, the Holy Grail has the function of communicating between the world and the outside world.

In other words, he can summon Servants, and the Servants can also contact him.

So in this situation... is it that a certain Servant wants to descend on their own initiative?
This conclusion flashed through Kenneth's mind.

If the Holy Grail can communicate with the Throne of Heroes, then conversely, certain special beings on the Throne of Heroes can also communicate with the Holy Grail.

This is technically entirely feasible...

The other party's methods are not important; what is more important is their motives.

The summoning ritual started the moment he wrote the runes; the other party had probably come for this.

Simple runes are not rare. Although the language had once disappeared, a few years ago a Japanese puppeteer named Aozaki Touko revived runes.

The only explanation is that his runes are knowledge from another world...

This script was created by Odin, a powerful being of the Celestial level in the Marvel universe, and he is not yet able to fully decipher it.

Before he could even confirm the extent to which this rune could function in this world, the opposing hero spirit descended on its own initiative.

That would be quite troublesome... Thinking of this, Kenneth's eyes sharpened, and he no longer hesitated.

The magic circuits within his body were instantly activated to their maximum, and the surging magic power, like a rushing river, surged down his arm and fiercely flowed towards the three scorching Command Seals on the back of his left hand!

He was going to forcefully intervene in this uncontrolled summons!
Magic formed an invisible barrier, attempting to block the torrent of summons from the Holy Grail. At the same time, he diverted a portion of his mind to try to go against the current and peek at the true form of the heroic spirit at the other end of the passage.

However, the next moment, Kenneth's composed expression, which he had maintained throughout, completely changed.

The immense magical power he poured into it was easily swept away and swallowed up the moment it came into contact with the summoning torrent, like ice and snow melting away, without causing the slightest ripple.

The summoning process was not hindered in any way!

This only proves one thing—the magical skill, or rather, the "mysterious" rank of the being at the other end of the passage, is far superior to his!

"boom--!!!"

Before he could react further, a magical storm far exceeding his expectations suddenly exploded in the air in front of him! The violent explosion unleashed a violent shockwave, tearing all the precious books, sophisticated instruments, and magnificent decorations in his study to shreds!

Thick smoke and the afterglow of magic filled the room, as if in the beginning of chaos.

Immediately afterwards, a slightly languid and playful yet supremely majestic female voice drifted leisurely from the center of the smoke.

"Oh dear, what an oblivious man!"

"Is it really that unwelcome that I want to get out and about?"

Accompanied by this seemingly soul-piercing teasing voice, a tall and graceful figure slowly emerged from the smoke and dust.

She was a woman of breathtaking beauty.

Her long purple hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and she wore a strange, tight-fitting purple bodysuit that clung to her curves. It was less a combat suit and more a work of art showcasing her perfect figure.

A playful smile played on her beautiful face, and her scarlet eyes, which seemed to hold the weight of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, were scrutinizing Kenneth, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, with great interest.

"Um... May I ask who you are?"

Kenneth forced down the turmoil in his heart and took a deep breath.

Although the female servant's attire appeared to him to be almost like some kind of lingerie, the ancient and powerful aura she inadvertently exuded, seemingly out of place in the world, made him realize that he had probably summoned an extraordinary being.

At the very least, the opponent's magic skill level is absolutely monstrous.

When the woman heard his question, the corners of her mouth curved into a wider smile. She stuck out the tip of her tongue and gently licked her lips, a gesture full of wild allure.

"Me? Just a queen from the Land of Shadows."

She answered with a soft laugh, her voice carrying a hint of the vicissitudes of countless years.
“My name is Scáthach…”

"Scáthach from the Land of Shadows..."

"Huh? Wait, you said...you're Scáthach?!"
