Emiya Shirou didn't care that Iskandar's army was blocked; these existences were merely to consume the opponent's magical energy. The real battle would ultimately be completed by true Heroic Spirits.
"Matou Shinji, if possible, I also want to go to paradise to seek an answer."
Looking at the Reality Marble summoned by the other party, Emiya Shirou sighed, apologizing in his heart.
"It's a pity I can't leave this world."
One magical energy source after another surged!
Heroic Spirits other than Iskandar also appeared beside Emiya Shirou!
Berserker: Lancelot, the strongest Knight among the Round Table Knight under King Arthur.
Lancer: Diarmuid Ua Duibhne, a hero from Celtic mythology, the first warrior of the Fianna Knights.
Caster: Gilles de Rais, a French Marshal, famous for his bloodlust, depravity, and obsession with black magic.
Archer: Gilgamesh (male version), King of ancient Babylon, Hero King.
Rider: Iskandar, Alexander the Great, King of Macedon.
These five appearing Heroic Spirits were all presences that appeared in the Fourth Holy Grail War in the normal timeline.
But there was still some confusion, for example, Lancelot appeared as a Berserker because Saber participated in the Holy Grail War, but in the current timeline, Saber did not participate in the Fourth Holy Grail War.
"Five already known Heroic Spirits, so who is the Saber that appeared in the Fourth Holy Grail War?"
After seeing these five Heroic Spirits of different classes, Kisaragi Rin looked at Emiya Shirou; a magical energy source far exceeding that of other Heroic Spirits erupted from his body.
Because of the principle Medea mentioned, it was difficult to harm this Emiya Shirou without weakening him to a certain extent or making him unable to sustain the responsibility of this vessel himself.
Emiya Shirou, entirely composed of mystery, not only created the anti-magic field of Fuyuki City but also became a body immune to all magic.
After observing for a moment, Emiya Shirou gritted his teeth, and an illusory existence crawled out of his body!
As he appeared, the illusion began to become reality!
King's Army and Spiritual Palace both retreated!
"Reality Marble..."
Medea's body trembled, and she quickly increased her power, saying urgently, "A third existence has joined the clash of Reality Marbles!"
At the same time, this Heroic Spirit that crawled out of Emiya Shirou's body completely materialized.
White hair, dark skin, tall and slender build...
This is!
The second Emiya Shirou!
Saber: Emiya Shirou!
The moment he appeared, a third Reality Marble descended upon the battlefield; the power named [Unlimited Blade Works] together with [King's Army] pressed towards [Spiritual Palace]!
"So, in the end, the one who replaced Saber in the Fourth Holy Grail War and answered Kiritsugu Emiya's summon was you."
Kisaragi Rin put down his last doubt and softly called out his name, "Archer."
Archer, also known as Emiya Shirou, but he is the Emiya Shirou from a future timeline who signed a contract with Alaya and became a Guardian Heroic Spirit.
"Hmm... it's me." Archer replied.
When the Fourth Holy Grail War occurred, Emiya Shirou was still a child, so it was naturally unlikely that he caused all of this. Just as Medea said, this Emiya Shirou in the wheelchair was just a vessel.
But Archer is different; he is the future Emiya Shirou!
His identity and his position in the Fourth Holy Grail War all told Kisaragi Rin that he must bear responsibility for Fuyuki City becoming like this!
"Since Saber is you, then the eighth Heroic Spirit Emiya Shirou spoke of, the Heroic Spirit replacing Hassan of the Hundred Faces, must be..."
As Kisaragi Rin spoke, a figure had already crossed the battlefield, appearing beside Kisaragi Rin, raising the short blade in his hand!
It was the Assassin, the only one of the seven classes that had not yet appeared!
Assassin: Kiritsugu Emiya!
Class Skill - Presence Concealment - A+
Completely hides one's presence, making it almost impossible to detect. However, when transitioning into an attack state, the rank of Presence Concealment drops significantly.
Noble Phantasm - mystery Disruption - C+
A knife infused with the dual attributes of [severance] and [binding] that constitute his origin. When struck against a magical circuit, a magic crest, or similar internal constructs in an opponent, it causes fatal damage.
Noble Phantasm - Carpe Diem - B+
The ability to manipulate one's own time flow, a Noble Phantasm formed from [Inherent Time Control]. It uses accelerated time flow for high-speed attacks and movement, and decelerated time to halt biological rhythms and move silently.
Two released Noble Phantasms, a Class Skill - Presence Concealment - that had already reached A+ rank. Kiritsugu Emiya accelerated his own time and swung a fatal blow at Kisaragi Rin!
This was the Holy Grail War. Since they decided to be on opposing sides, the war had already begun.
Politeness?
Kiritsugu Emiya, now a Heroic Spirit, was as unconcerned as ever, unleashing what traditional magi would call his "despicable" methods!
Presence Concealment would break during an attack, but Kiritsugu Emiya possessed the Noble Phantasm named [Carpe Diem]. Under the effect of this Noble Phantasm, Kiritsugu Emiya's own time was accelerated, and the [mystery Disruption] swung in his hand was a fatal blow to all magical life!
"I'm not like Hassan of the Hundred Faces, who can't even defeat his Master. A true Assassin will only deliver a one-hit kill against a fragile Master."
"Accept the fate of death and let this Fuyuki City continue to be peaceful."
Kiritsugu Emiya's blade pierced the Master's head, but no blood flowed from the penetrating wound. Not only did Kisaragi Rin ignore the attack, she even managed to grab Kiritsugu Emiya's finger.
She said, "That's enough."
