I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

He also arranged for people brought from the Magic Association to conduct 24-hour surveillance.

In that case, it would be impossible for that person named Emiya Kiritsugu to detonate the nearby area and hit him.

Even modern weapons like RPGs would be blocked by this powerful, otherworldly barrier.

Magic Furnaces – Five Units!

Hundreds of demons and monsters have completely isolated this place, turning it into a ghost town.

A protective barrier had been set up nearby, with half of the evil spirits lurking outside and moving inside. Anyone who dared to approach would inevitably encounter these creatures.

Without their own authorization, those demons and monsters will attack everyone indiscriminately.

If there was anything comforting about that comic, it was... his own death.

Sora also saw the comic... but without actually facing the Heroic Spirit, having only seen the comic, she, like Kenneth, believed that she was merely being bewitched by the Heroic Spirit's curse and his beauty mark.

Furthermore, she was deeply moved by the way he treated Sora, even though he had to forgo the Holy Grail War...

It was a relief that their relationship had actually become stronger.

The Sophia family also holds him in high regard... laymen don't understand. But those in the know as magicians know all too well how valuable the things Kiritsugu Emiya destroyed were.

Even so, he was still able to maintain a certain level of composure and confront Einzbern head-on.

In his view, this event, which did not originally happen to him, actually provided him with a great deal of convenience and reputation.

Those who don't understand can only say, "Magicians think differently from normal people." Well...

"Mr. Kenneth, I'm back..." Weber said as he walked in, having composed himself.

"So? Have you found a suitable location for the battle?"

"Yes, although there are many people coming to Fuyuki City, there are still places that can be used for fighting."

"That's good. Although Da Yuan may be about to disappear, there are ways to continue it. In short... it's not time for magic to be truly exposed yet."

Starting in 1970, the world embarked on different paths of development.

In 1970, a ceremony took place somewhere in Britain, and from that starting point, the world moved in different directions.

If it is completely blocked, then the Great Source will continue to decline little by little, just like in the Age of Gods, and may disappear completely after a hundred or a thousand years.

If left unchecked, the world will veer in a different direction. By 1970, the Great Source will be completely depleted, and by 2000, the Earth's total population is projected to have plummeted to two-thirds.

It prevented some...

That's now.

The magic power in the Great Source will still be depleted, and the time for this depletion has been greatly reduced, but at least it will not disappear immediately, giving magicians the opportunity to develop, transform, and continue.

At this time, the Holy Grail came into the view of the higher-ups of the Mage Association.

The Magic Association will find a way to gather magic power.

In other words, it doesn't matter if we lose this Holy Grail War.

It doesn't matter if all the evil in this world is present in this Holy Grail War.

What Kenneth needs to do is determine whether the Holy Grail is a possibility.

If possible, the Magic Association would, in order to ensure the continuation of the Great Source, establish a place with abundant spiritual veins and sparse population.

The Holy Grail War will be held once again, and the final Holy Grail will be used to prolong the Great Source... delaying the time when the magic fades.

"What is that?" Weber stared blankly at the object in front of Kenneth.

"Hmph, these new relics. Not from Alexander, nor from Diarmuid, but entirely new relics... a lock of hair from the man known as the Scourge of God in the fifth century AD."

"Huh? That hair has been preserved until now?" Weber said with some surprise.

“That’s right, and…” Kenneth said, opening the box, “it looks like freshly cut white hair.”

Weber looked at it and it was indeed so. Originally, when Kenneth mentioned the white hair, Weber thought it was something the man had cut off in his later years.

But now it seems that's not the case. Looking at it, you'll see that it's not the dry, white hair of an elderly person, nor does it look like it's been there for over a thousand years...

It was incomprehensible; the hair had a smooth, supple feel, giving it an unusual magic.

"Who exactly was that person? Even a tuft of hair could evoke such a feeling, and his body is even said to be incorruptible..."

“I don’t know, he kept these after cutting them out.” Kenneth closed the box and said, “I don’t know where his body ended up. But… judging from the look of this hair, I can guess. I guess, like this, it still looks the same as it did in life. No wonder he’s called the ‘Scourge of God,’ that man named ‘Attila.’”

Weber took a deep breath.

If this succeeds, there will be two emperors on this side.

Alexander the Conqueror, Iskandar.

Furthermore... Kenneth wanted to summon the Hunnic emperor who created a vast empire, and both emperors shared a common characteristic...

Both men founded their own countries during their lifetimes, and both perished after their deaths.

Chapter 96 Summoning Heroic Spirits Part 2 5/22

"This is...?"

Kirei Kotomine looked at the sacred relic prepared by Tokiomi Tohsaka and exclaimed in surprise.

“In the distant age of the gods, the earring left behind by Rama, the son of the sun god Surya and the axe-wielding disciple,” Tokiomi Tohsaka said with a smile. “Although it’s not a strong candidate for Caster. That’s a bit of a pity. Although I tried my best to collect it, I still didn’t get the ideal relic.”

"Master, what kind of sacred relic did you originally intend to obtain?"

"Hmm... this one." Tokiomi Tohsaka thought for a moment, "Merlin, King Arthur's teacher, is a good choice. There's also Solomon, who is hailed as the pinnacle of magic. Scáthach, the Queen of the Land of Shadows in Celtic mythology, Chiron, the sage in Greek mythology, and Abe no Seimei, the Onmyoji in Japanese legend... I originally planned to summon heroes like these. But unfortunately, I didn't get any of them. In the end... instead, I got this earring of Karna, the son of the sun god."

"I see. If that hero really is summoned..."

"Ah, it's more likely to be Lancer or Rider." Tokiomi Tohsaka nodded and looked at Kirei Kotomine: "How's your relic preparation going?"

"No problem, everything is ready. While he may not be a particularly powerful figure, he should be more than enough for an Assassin."

"That's good." Tokiomi Tohsaka nodded. "Then, the situation is about to get tense. From now on, unless there are special circumstances, don't come over. Those Masters who came in advance to prepare should have already placed their familiars around here."

"I see."

Tokiomi Tohsaka nodded. He was indeed preparing to summon Karna, but... he also put away the relic of the King of Heroes.

Even if you don't use this yourself, you shouldn't let others use it.

After all, this heroic spirit is simply too extraordinary.

However, it is precisely because of this that it is even more difficult to control.

Now, his only worry is whether someone might use different relics to summon this ancient king. Regardless... no matter how uncontrollable his personality may be, his strength is undeniable.

Even if their Noble Phantasm is fully exposed, they are still powerful Servants capable of taking on six enemies at once.

......

"Be full, be full, be full, be full, be full. And so it goes, and then five times!"

Such a sound rang out from an ordinary house in Fuyuki City.

If someone passing by overheard this, they would just smile slightly and think to themselves, "Another person who's lost their mind from reading comics."

Of course, that's what they say, but the room is actually very well soundproofed.

Even if you press your ear against the wall, with human hearing, you simply cannot hear what is happening inside the room.

"However, the moment of fullness is also the moment of abandonment!"

"Announcement—"

The sound continued, but there was no fluctuation of magic. The meticulously crafted array in front of them made no sound either. However, on the person's outstretched hand, there was indeed a mark of a Command Seal that looked like three semicircles of red stripes.

"Your body is under my command. My life is with your sword!"

"Respond to the call of the Holy Grail; if you are willing to follow its will and its principles, then respond!"

I hereby swear:

"I wish to accomplish all good deeds in the world."

"I wish to spread all the evils of the world."

"You are bound by the three great spiritual powers for seven days."

"Cross the Wheel of Suppression—Awaken!"

"Guardian of the Scales!!"

As the final incantation faded, a sound finally echoed in the room—

The array emitted a brief burst of light, and then—it was projected onto the person in the room!

"This is..."

The man... Kurokawa Kazuya clenched his hands, looking at the current situation with some surprise.

I did not prepare any relics.

He didn't have any connections in this area. Although he had asked the Ryougi family, an ancient family, for help, and the Ryougi family did have some related items, he felt that none of them were quite suitable for him.

So—he wanted to see what kind of heroic spirit he could summon based on compatibility.

If they were weak, they would run away without saying a word.

Far from Fuyuki City, he simply watched the battle through the shared vision between himself and the Heroic Spirit, letting the Heroic Spirit do whatever it wanted without his interference.

However... if one could summon a powerful Heroic Spirit based on affinity...

He then gained the ability to observe the Holy Grail War up close and even participate in it!

But now, an unexpected event has occurred—

The heroic spirit he summoned was himself!

Furthermore, it didn't appear like a certain red Archer, but rather directly possessed itself.

In other words.

He is now both a Servant and a Master.

"This is quite an unexpected situation... Let me take a look at my current power first. There's still some time before the Holy Grail War begins, so perhaps I can get used to the power of this body!"
