Chapter 22: Confrontation
"It's ...... Mom? ”
Illya, who was standing aside, recognized the Servants who appeared in the magic array.
That's right, he is none other than Alice Phil, the heroic Alice Phil.
Hearing Illya's words, Emiya Kiritsugu was also stunned.
He stared blankly at the figure that appeared in the magic array.
"Etude ......"
Although it was unbelievable, Alice Phil really appeared in the magic circle, and it was not a fantasy of Emiya Kiritsugu.
Alice Phil saw Kiritsugu Emiya, and her face was full of surprise.
But then Alice Phil said the most classic words to Emiya Kiritsugu with a gentle smile.
"Caster is here, are you my master?"
Just when the Emiya Mansion fell into the jumping of chickens and dogs, Rin Tosaka also summoned the Heroic Spirit Emiya Shirou out just like in the original book.
She is not much different from the original book.
But it is estimated that as long as Rin Tosaka stands on the land of Fuyuki, no matter what, Rin Tosaka can only summon Shirou Emiya.
Probably because she is a holy widow?
At the same time, an accident occurred on the other side of Fuyuki.
Grey, who drew the magic circle for Ermelo II, summoned the British red dragon due to an unknown accident, and the King of Dry Rice descended on her and became a mimic servant.
Ermelo II was shocked, but after thinking about it, the main reason for Grey's change was probably closely related to her origins and other people related to Morgan Le Fay.
After all, during the Holy Grail War ten years ago, because of the arrival of King Arthur, Grey's body in London had undergone great changes, not to mention that now Grey has set foot on the land of Winterwood.
The family had been planning the resurrection of King Arthur Artoria Pendragon for thousands of years, and after thousands of years of failure, Grey was finally born.
Thinking of this, Ermelo II hated himself for bringing Grey to Winterwood, if it weren't for himself, these things would not have happened.
Seeing that Grey, who had completely turned into King Arthur in front of her, opened her eyes, and Ermelo II was in full swing.
He knew that the person standing in front of him at this moment was not his intimate little apprentice Grey, but the flat-chested king from Britain.
During the last Holy Grail War, the knight king made a deep impression on himself, and the great power of the Noble Phantasm he used is still fresh in Ermelo II's memory.
It would be nice if the Great Emperor was summoned.
Ermelo II thought bitterly.
Now he has the slightest power to fight back against Artoria, a servant.
Grey, no, Artoria opened her emerald green eyes and looked at the long-haired man standing in front of her.
It's a little familiar, but I forget who it is.
It's back in the Holy Grail War, but it feels a little different, and it feels like I've come back to life.
"Huh......"
Artoria suddenly discovers that she has not only the consciousness of herself in her body, but also the consciousness of another girl.
It's just that the girl can't control her body and loses her dominance over her body.
Soon, Artoria understood all of this after communicating with Grey's consciousness in her body.
"It's a sad wish."
Artoria lamented the girl's fate, and Grey's involuntary body reminded her of herself, and she felt a little sympathy in her heart.
She looked at the long-haired man in front of her.
From the conversation she had just had with Grey, she recognized this man, who was the young man named Webber, the master of the rider during the last Holy Grail War.
The domineering of the rider in the last Holy Grail War made a deep impression on Artoria, which made her recognize the rider's master.
While in normal Immortal Summoning, Immortal who has signed a contract with the world is summoned as a Servant, the ritual only summons their avatar on the Valhalla.
The memories of the previous summons are not shared, but the soul that makes up the Servant will return to the Servant's side at the same time as the Servant's death, and the Servant can be recorded as if reading a book.
However, Artoria is different, not after her death, but before her death, when Kamran was seriously injured by Mordred, she signed a contract with the world and made a wish to receive the Holy Grail.
In other words, Artoria will be summoned as a Heroic Spirit in the Holy Grail War in the form of a Servant, and the time of the main body will be completely stuck in a static time before the death of Kamran Sword Hill, and each Holy Grail War is like a dream that will never end, and if she loses in the war, just like in the Fourth Holy Grail War, Artoria will return to Kamlan, waiting for the next summoning until she obtains the Holy Grail and fulfills her long-cherished wish.
As a result, Artori, summoned during the Holy Grail War, is not dead, but a living person dying in Camran, so she has a corresponding memory.
Now that she understood all this from memory, Artoria looked at the three spells on the back of her hand and said to Ermelo II: "When the Holy Grail War is over, I will return your apprentice to you in its entirety. ”
With that, Artoria disappeared before Ermelo II's eyes.
She was bound to win the Holy Grail War.
Even at the cost of eternal reincarnation, Artoria wishes to receive the Holy Grail and make a wish to return to the day of the king.
To change the fate of Britain.
This is her sad wish.
"Damn."
Ermelo II looked at Saber's distant figure.
His own disciple was taken away in front of his eyes like this, which made him feel very frustrated.
However, he is no longer the Weber Vilvet of the past, he is Ermelo II, a monarch.
Ermelo II looked at the magic circle drawn on the ground, and his expression became resolute.
He's going to summon the man.
In the Holy Grail War, he defeated Artoria with dignity, preached the royal way of conquering the king, and rescued his disciples.
Walking into the magic circle, Ermelo II took himself as a holy relic and began to chant a spell, ready to summon the servant to descend.
"Full, full, full, full, full, full, full......"
"Thou hast thou been, under my command; My fate is attached to your sword......"
"Answer the call of the Holy Grail, follow this will and the doctrine, answer my ......"
"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......"
"Seven Days of Entwining the Three Great Spirits......
"Emerge through the Wheel of Inhibition, Guardian of the Scales......"
With that, a dazzling white light appeared above the circle, and dark clouds shrouded the park, and the pitch-black sky was lightning and thunder, like the end of the world.
"Here ......
Ermelo II put his hand in front of his eyes, blocking the glare from the light.
Despite the discomfort in his eyes, Ermelo II couldn't wait to look through his fingers into the circle not far away.
Finally, as the bright light gradually dimmed, Erme II saw a blurred figure.
"What's going on?"
Ermelo II's heart was half cold.
He saw a figure in the fading light.
That figure can't be said to be very consistent with tallness, it can only be said to be irrelevant.
"This ...... This is clearly a child. ”
Ermelo II felt hopeless.
This Holy Grail War felt like he had come to naught.
Not only did he fail to summon the Great Emperor, but he also lost his disciple Grey here.
