Chapter 49 - Chapter 49: I Summon, I

[In the light curtain, Shirou Emiya struggled to his feet.]

[Looking at the battered Shirou Emiya before him, Shinji Matou, his fused hands flailing, taunted mockingly, "Haha, this is quite entertaining. What's your name again?"]

[However, Shirou Emiya did not respond to Shinji Matou's words. Instead, he fixed a sharp gaze on the golden card fluttering before him. The miracle had not arrived...]

[He had prayed for help to the Throne of Heroes and the gods, but neither the Heroic Spirits on the Throne nor the worshipped deities had responded.]

[Hope seemed shattered; he could see no glimmer of victory.]

[The sound of Shinji Matou's laughter came from not far away, as grating as a dog's bark.]

["Goodbye, Emiya."]

[As soon as Shinji Matou finished speaking, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly parted.]

[The cold moonlight, like a staircase descending from heaven, fell from the sky and spilled before Shirou Emiya.]

[It seemed that by climbing these steps, he could ascend to godhood!]

[At this moment, Shirou Emiya's aura underwent a dramatic change.]

[The card, originally a plain white, now emitted a faint, dazzling light, like an oracle upon the staircase.]

[Shirou Emiya grabbed the fluttering card.]

["Even so... I still haven't given up!!!!"]

[With Shirou Emiya's resolute cry, the golden card suddenly erupted with a brilliant light, like the brightest star in the night sky.]

[This time, Shirou Emiya was no longer praying to the gods, nor begging for aid from the Heroic Spirits on the Throne of Heroes!]

[At this moment, his heart was filled with nothing but the unwavering echo of determination!]

[A tremendous surge of magical energy erupted, the dazzling flash like the sun, illuminating the entire battlefield.]

[Emiya Shirou himself had answered his own prayer!]

Bullet Comments

[King of Heroes Gilgamesh: He prayed to the gods, but only he himself answered! The world, in the end, belongs to humans. Humanity must rely on its own strength to survive, develop, and cast off all reluctance and constraints!]

[Rin Tohsaka: This golden guy actually has a moment of sounding wise?]

[Heroic Spirit Emiya: To abandon the path of being an Ally of Justice... that is not an easy road to take.]

[Waver Velvet: At this moment, Emiya Shirou is the greatest hero in the world! This is truly awesome!]

[Flat Escardos: So, it's the future Heroic Spirit Emiya responding to the determination of his past self, right? Him answering his own call—just thinking about it is so touching, I can't help but cry!]

[Shinji Matou: Damn it! This guy, he's about to lose. why is he still struggling like this?!]

[Gawain: How dare this scum speak up?]

[Galahad: I will absolutely not allow such scum to remain in this world!]

At this moment, in the timeline of the Fifth Holy Grail War.

Archer watched the scene in the light curtain with extremely complex emotions.

The reason he had appeared here was to make Shirou Emiya abandon the ideal of being an Ally of Justice and to correct this mistake at its source.

However, now, witnessing a Shirou Emiya from another world choose a completely different path, for some reason, Archer felt a sense of relief but also a certain emptiness.

In the end, he could only look at the light curtain with a complicated expression.

At this critical juncture of life and death, Shirou Emiya finally succeeded in activating the Dream Summon.

[Using the nameless card in his hand and himself as a catalyst, he successfully summoned the powerful existence—the Emiya Archer. Shinji Matou's sharp tentacles were about to pierce through Shirou Emiya, but in that split second!]

[Clang! Clang! Clang!]

[The clear sound of metal clashing reverberated through the space, deafening. Simultaneously, countless Magic Circuits manifested, colliding with the tentacles and producing dazzling sparks.]

[Countless golden points of light drifted slowly in the air, like stars, adding a touch of mystery and grandeur to this battle. A massive amount of magical energy surged within Shirou Emiya's body—a power that humans should never possess!]

[Without a doubt, Shirou Emiya had transformed into a true Heroic Spirit at this moment!]

[Moreover, his attire had undergone a earth-shattering change. He was clad in red and black close-fitting combat wear and a jacket, similar to Archer's style, but the difference was that his right arm was sleeveless after the transformation, and he wore a headscarf, making him look even more heroic. Two short blades quietly appeared in his hands, and a large cloak billowed in the wind, like the arrival of a god of war.]

[This was Shirou Emiya's strongest form, shocking all the spectators!]

Bullet Comments

[Lancelot: That card is undoubtedly a useless card without any Heroic Spirit power, yet Shirou Emiya actually used himself as a medium to successfully perform a summon. It's unbelievable!]

[Arcuid Brunestud: And the appearance of this Heroic Spirit Emiya is completely different from the previous Shirou Emiya and Archer. This one seems more domineering and looks a bit stronger?]

[Waver Velvet: Isn't that obvious? The title says he will clear the Holy Grail War in a single night. Starting from here, he alone will take on seven enemies. If he weren't strong enough, he couldn't accomplish such a feat!]

Meanwhile, in the screen.

[Tremendous power surged within Shirou Emiya's body. Using his Magic Circuits, he successfully blocked Shinji Matou's attack and immediately swung the short blades in his hands.]

[Whoosh——!!!]

[With the sound of blades cutting through the air, the two short blades unerringly struck Shinji Matou's arms. Blood spurted out, and the four tentacle-like arms were severed!]

[The next second!]

[Shinji Matou, feeling the intense pain, let out an involuntary scream.]

["Ah!!!!"]

[Clutching his arms, he wailed: "My arms!!! My arms!!!"]

[Amid Shinji Matou's screams, Emiya Shirou—no, he should now be called the Emiya Archer—slowly opened his eyes. He looked calmly at Shinji, who was screaming in pain before him, his eyes devoid of any mercy.]
