Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

Shinji Matou is long dead.

The one he fought earlier was merely a puppet created by the Ainsworth family using magic.

Weber: "My brother died long ago—so that's what that meant!"

Fiore: "The Ainsworth family actually possesses the technology to bring the dead back to life!"

Kenneth: "How is this possible..."

The dead have been brought back to life! This is a technique that even the Mage's Association has never heard of, yet in another world it has been mastered by a small family that mainly uses substitution magic!

Feng Xi: "Strictly speaking, this doesn't count as a resurrection."

Lion's Robbery: "Hmm, it's more like a kind of necromancy."

The Ainsworth family's resurrection is actually somewhat similar to the Impure World Reincarnation in Naruto, where the soul of the dead is placed in a puppet, allowing the deceased to be 'resurrected'.

However, this resurrection seems to be usable only once. If the resurrected person is killed again, they cannot be resurrected a second time.

But regardless, this technology is indeed amazing.

"Is this hell...?"

Picking up the class card of Hassan the Cursed Arm, the Great Hero Emiya left without hesitation, leaving only a trail of thin footprints behind.

"I might not even get there."

Without hesitation or doubt, he was about to begin his Holy Grail War.

Abandon ideals, abandon beliefs, abandon life, abandon everything; there is only one goal.

That is—to save my sister!

Chapter 444: One Night's Devastation of the Holy Grail War

Blonde Rin: "Is it coming? The Holy Grail War will be annihilated in one night."

Koles: "Since Matou Sakura and Matou Shinji have already been killed, do we have to fight five more matches?"

Fiore: "I'm a little curious about who our next opponents will be."

At Ryudouji Temple, the legendary swordsman Emiya faces the second battle of the Holy Grail War.

[The opponent is Atram Gariasta, a magician from the Middle East.]

The opponent used a Caster Medea class card.

[Wow, you dare to cross-dress? A true man, the oil tycoon.]

C's Mom: "..."

Seeing Atram dressed exactly like herself in the video, Medea wanted nothing more than to rush in and euthanize him.

You're shameless, but please don't drag her into it!

Weber: "...Ahem, what a unique outfit."

Fortunately, Atram didn't join the group, otherwise, given his personality, he would probably have committed suicide on the spot out of shame and indignation.

Luvia: "Ugh, I feel a little nauseous..."

Rin Tohsaka: "Ahem, it's alright. At least it looks much better than Shinji Matou's tentacle monster."

Harmless to humans and animals: "..."

Unfortunately, his mental attacks had little effect on the ruthless Emiya, and after a series of flashy exchanges, he was taken down by a single arrow from Emiya.

Like Shinji Matou, Atram's body also turned into a puppet after death.

This guy is Julian's puppet too.

Weber: "Also a puppet?"

So, Atram from that world also died long ago?

When was that? Could it be that he was killed by that kid Julian before the Holy Grail War even started?

[In the graveyard, the great hero Emiya faces his third opponent, a little girl with red hair and Gothic Lolita clothing, who is using the Hercules class card.]

Hercules' strength goes without saying; the giant Shirou was immediately overwhelmed. However, for some reason, Hercules suddenly allowed Shirou to escape, and then Shirou used a projected image of a hundred heads to obliterate him from a distance.

It's like wanting to die.

However, after Emiya took Heracles' class card and left, the girl reappeared.

[It was Hercules' Noble Phantasm that revived her.]

Although she was reborn, having lost her class card, she's clearly out of the game.

Rin Tohsaka: "Finally, a new face I don't recognize has appeared."

Zabiko: "Rin, this girl is just like you, dressed in Gothic Lolita style."

Blonde Rin: "What do you mean 'same as me'! That outfit was BB's doing, not mine!"

Zabiko: "But it's so cute."

Fujimura Taiga: "But Emiya in this world is really ruthless."

[Fuyuki Park, Fourth Battle.]

[This time, the opponent is Kariya Matou, who possesses the Rider-class card.]

[Okay, another cross-dressing guy.]

After a fierce exchange, Matou Kariya suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Emiya Emiya's Crane Wing Triple Slash.

[The murdered Kariya Matou was also turned into a puppet.]

[It seems highly likely that the other participants in this Holy Grail War are all puppets of the Ainsworth family.]

Matou Kariya: "..."

That's it, this time it's his turn to die.

No, how come he's involved in the Fifth Holy Grail War?

R-sister: "..."

Seeing an older man wearing your clothes and striking the same pose as you during the fight was incredibly bizarre.

However, they didn't know that, based on their experiences, they were actually quite well-matched.

Harmless: "Pfft..."

Don't laugh. For your own safety, don't laugh.

Weber: "Another puppet?"

Kenneth: "Is the Ainsworth family going to take over the Holy Grail War like they did in the Outer World?"

The next moment, Kenneth was completely stunned.

[Fuyuki Wharf, the fifth battle.]

And this time, their opponent is none other than Director Ken.

[Director Ken, wielding Moon Spirit Elixir in one hand and Dog Brother's class card in the other, appeared even more excited than Shinji Matou had been, his maniacal "hahaha" laughter echoing incessantly.]

However, Ken, true to his title of monarch, quickly realized with his vast knowledge that Emiya's class card used his future power.

[Ken, protected by the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid, was indeed a formidable opponent, but the Great Hero Emiya successfully broke through his defenses and secured victory by combining his two swords.]

[And as expected, Director Ken also became a puppet.]

Dog Bro: "Is it my power? You're really bad at using it."

With all-around defense like Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid, why aren't you using Death Gun's abilities properly and instead keep engaging in close-quarters combat with your opponent?

They messed it up in the end.

Kenneth: "..."

He feels the same way as Kariya Matou right now; he's got a role to play too!

Moreover, he actually became a puppet of that Enzworth family, which is an utter disgrace!

The only saving grace is that he wasn't dressed as a woman.

[Sixth battle, outside Fuyuki City, the opponent is a middle-aged man who possesses an Artoria-class card.]

[This battle was arguably the most difficult one for Emiya Shirou besides the second one. Had he not severed his opponent's left hand first, forcing him to use only one hand to activate his Noble Phantasm, he probably would have lost.]

Taking advantage of the moment of weakness after the opponent activated their Noble Phantasm, Emiya the Great Hero unleashed a close-range Illusion Collapse, blasting them all away.

Although I was injured myself, I still managed to secure the victory.

"Julian...I'm leaving him to you..."

The middle-aged man left these words behind, then collapsed and reverted to being a puppet.

[Thus, Emiya the Great Hero accomplished the miracle of sweeping through the Holy Grail War in a single night, successfully obtaining seven Class Cards.]

Artoria: "..."

Mordred: "Damn it, where did this bastard come from, wearing my father's clothes!"

Gawain: "To defile my king is absolutely unforgivable!"
