Chapter 844: The Return of Shirou Emiya
Chapter 844: The Return of Shirou Emiya
If Yecheng was exiled to another spacetime, they could use the Holy Grail to wish for their return.
And if Yecheng were sealed away in a magical barrier along with the Holy Grail, then they should have certainly achieved the ultimate victory.
Because if the final victor is not decided, the Holy Grail cannot descend upon this world.
If Yecheng were truly sealed away with the Holy Grail in another realm, then as long as the Greater Holy Grail appears, Yecheng would naturally emerge along with it.
As for the 'Evil of This World' that accompanies the Greater Holy Grail, whether it would cause severe destruction and casualties to Fuyuki City once again, this was completely outside the realm of consideration for Medea and Little Sakura.
In their eyes, as long as Yecheng was the most important, they wouldn't overly care about how many people would die.
In this Holy Grail War, Little Sakura had already summoned Rider Medusa, so she couldn't become Medea's Master again.
After all, it's almost an ironclad rule that a magician cannot become the Master of two Heroic Spirits.
However, in the end, Little Sakura still found a way to keep Medea around—by using the 'False Servant's Book'.
The so-called 'False Servant's Book' is a book made to transfer Master privileges to others, and creating this book requires the consumption of one Command Spell.
The holder of the 'False Servant's Book' is, aside from being unable to use Command Spells, considered a temporary Master of the Heroic Spirit Servant. But in reality, the one providing the mana is still the original Master.
Initially, to conceal her identity, Little Sakura had planned to use the 'False Servant's Book' to have her useless brother pretend to be Rider's Master. Now that Medea has arrived, she perfectly fills this vacancy.
Little Sakura first transferred her Command Spell to the 'False Servant's Book', thereby releasing herself from her Master status. Then, she formed a contract with the unmastered Medea, and with the 'False Servant's Book' in hand, she successfully became the Master of two Heroic Spirits.
Of course, although they had once again exploited a loophole in the Holy Grail War, this method wasn't without its drawbacks.
That is, providing mana for two Heroic Spirits simultaneously was an enormous burden for Little Sakura.
Currently, as long as Medea and Medusa aren't in combat, the situation is manageable. But once they use their Noble Phantasms and inherent skills in battle, the mana consumption will undoubtedly be massive.
At that time, even with Little Sakura's exceptional magic circuits, she alone couldn't withstand the mana consumption of both Medusa and Medea.
Setting Medusa aside for now, when not in combat, the Heroic Spirit form of Medusa consumes minimal mana. However, as a Caster, Medea is a true mana-devouring powerhouse.
Just the 'Campsite Construction' and 'Item Enhancement' class skills alone require a significant amount of mana.
Little Sakura's magic circuits are excellent, but they still fall short compared to Yecheng. Therefore, to replenish mana, they must seek alternative methods.
In this modern age, akin to the End of the Law, mana resources are scarce. Utilizing life force to convert into mana is, in fact, the most efficient method.
This is also why Bluebeard and the previous Athram abducted ordinary people during the Fourth Holy Grail War.
Strictly speaking, neither Medea nor Little Sakura are benevolent characters; they would resort to any means to achieve their goals.
As for Medusa, there's no need for further explanation. With her eyes only on Little Sakura, she wouldn't hesitate to harm anyone, be they old or young, if it benefited Little Sakura.
Of course, despite being a group of evil sorceresses, in the end, Little Sakura and her group didn't resort to kidnapping innocent people to refine mana.
In this chapter, the focus is on the summoning of a Heroic Spirit by the Emiya family, a significant event in the Holy Grail War.
In Fuyuki City, at the Emiya family's old mansion, the aging Shirou Emiya, who had long abandoned his youthful ambitions, successfully constructed the summoning array for Heroic Spirits with the assistance of his wife, Alice. As the incantation concluded, a tall and handsome figure emerged from the array.
If Yecheng were present at this moment, he would be surprised to see the Heroic Spirit summoned by Shirou Emiya. Originally, Medea was supposed to summon the fictional Heroic Spirit Sasaki Kojiro through her irregular methods, but to everyone's surprise, Emiya summoned him first.
Sasaki Kojiro, the renowned fictional Heroic Spirit known as "The Legendary Swordsman" in Japanese folklore, was an Assassin with exceptional sword skills. His techniques were so advanced that they reached the level of magic and even Noble Phantasms.
Compared to Medea's Kojiro, Emiya's Kojiro was stronger due to a more abundant supply of mana and his status as a proper Assassin. His abilities exceeded those in the original storyline, and even his long sword, Monohoshizao, became a Noble Phantasm of rank A.
"I never expected that the summoned Heroic Spirit would be the legendary swordsman. However, it's quite unexpected that the legendary swordsman Kojiro is not a Saber but an Assassin."
Shirou Emiya, who had experienced the Fourth Holy Grail War, originally left Fuyuki City to retire in the countryside. However, a few days ago, his long-separated wife, Alice, called to inform him that their daughter, Illiya, had taken on her former destiny and become a Lesser Holy Grail.
After the Fourth Holy Grail War, Shirou Emiya adopted Shirou Emiya and lived in the countryside. He declined Alice's invitation to return to the Einzbern family's main house.
As a result, their daughter, Illiya, believed that her father, Shirou Emiya, had been taken away by Shirou Emiya. She had been determined to seek revenge on Shirou Emiya.
Shirou Emiya found himself in a difficult situation, torn between his adopted son and his biological daughter. As the Lesser Holy Grail, Illiya's safety was also a concern.
The current Shirou Emiya no longer had the grand ambition of "bringing peace to the world." Instead, he was determined to protect his family and fulfill his duties as a father.
After much deliberation, Shirou Emiya decided to participate in the Holy Grail War. However, unlike others, his goal was not the Holy Grail but to disrupt the Holy Grail War.
As long as the Greater Holy Grail did not descend, Illiya, as the Lesser Holy Grail, would not die. Having witnessed the terror of 'The Evil of This World,' Shirou Emiya vowed never to let such a thing poison the city again.
Yecheng had once mentioned that the Greater Holy Grail was located beneath the Reirou Temple on Rinkozan Mountain. Their plan was to disrupt the Holy Grail War by destroying the underground magic array before the Holy Grail's appearance and then permanently sealing the Greater Holy Grail.
For this reason, Shirou Emiya and Sasaki Kojiro moved to the Reirou Temple, monitoring the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City while also attempting to search for and analyze the underground magic array.
