Chapter 50 - Chapter 50: Archer Emiya

[Although Shinji Matou was also in a Heroic Spirit state at this moment, his regenerative ability was clearly far inferior to the Emiya Archer's. He stared at the Emiya Archer before him with a mixture of shock, disbelief, and fear, asking incredulously, "You... what's wrong with you!? Sakura's card is obviously a useless card, how could it be used for a Dream Summon?"]

[He racked his brains but couldn't understand why Emiya Shirou had succeeded in the summoning. Seeing the faint flickers of lightning on the battlefield and the Emiya Archer's indomitable presence, he realized that the Heroic Spirit he had summoned was not on the same level as the one Emiya Shirou had summoned.]

[Voices of fear and doubt echoed incessantly in Shinji Matou's mind; he couldn't accept this cruel reality.]

[The Emiya Archer ignored Shinji Matou's words, slowly rising to his feet. Then, a powerful aura shot straight into the sky, and majestic magical energy surged out like a tidal wave!]

[Witnessing this, Shinji Matou couldn't help but widen his eyes and roar, "What's wrong with that Heroic Spirit? What's going on!? What's happening!!!?"]

[Furious and bewildered shouts echoed through the air.]

[However, the Emiya Archer remained unmoved, fixing Shinji Matou with a sharp gaze. Under this stare, Shinji Matou seemed greatly provoked, losing his composure and launching a preemptive attack!]

[The sharp dagger in his hand sliced through the air like lightning, arriving instantly before the Emiya Archer. But the Emiya Archer merely swung his own weapon calmly.]

[The weapons clashed, sending fierce sparks flying. After blocking the attack, the Emiya Archer immediately counterattacked, erupting with terrifying power as he charged straight at Shinji Matou!]

["Stay back!" A look of indescribable fear appeared on Shinji Matou's face as he watched the Emiya Archer charge toward him.]

[However, just as the Emiya Archer reached a certain point, Shinji Matou's face suddenly twisted into a triumphant smile.]

[Under that eerie grin, the Emiya Archer was shocked to find he could not advance another half-step.]

[Looking back, the Emiya Archer discovered that countless foul-smelling tentacles had emerged from the stumps of Shinji Matou's severed arms at some point, now tightly gripping the Emiya Archer's short blades and his arms, rendering him immobile.]

[Seeing this, Shinji Matou couldn't help but smirk smugly. "Too naive. My arms can move on their own, even when severed." No sooner had he spoken than his arm transformed into a metallic weapon, lunging at the Emiya Archer the next second.]

[The sharp long sword was about to pierce the Emiya Archer's body, but—]

[Bang!!!]

[At that moment, the Emiya Archer released his grip on his weapon, and then, to Shinji Matou's incredulous eyes, punched him squarely in the face.]

[Under the terrifying force, a large hole was blown through the mask on Shinji Matou's face, sending blood, fragments, and—of course—Shinji Matou's teeth flying in all directions.]

[Then, Shinji Matou felt a violent force sweep over him, hurling his entire body backward. He crashed heavily onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.]

Bullet Comments

[Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald: Gasp. After transforming into the Emiya Archer, his muscles are incredibly powerful. Being punched in the face like that, even as a Heroic Spirit, he wouldn't feel good.]

[Rin Tohsaka: That's how it should be! Facing someone like Shinji Matou, who could even mercilessly kill his own sister, he should be made to experience all the pain in the world to vent our anger!]

[Waver Velvet: This is really satisfying, what a corrective punch!]

[Nero Claudius: Hmm, does this guy still need correction? Just torture him severely!]

[Tokiomi Tohsaka: I hope Sakura's spirit in heaven can feel some comfort seeing this scene.]

[Gilgamesh: That's it? It should be a life for a life! @Tokiomi Tohsaka! Although I dislike that faker, I hate that scum even more.]

The battle in the light curtain continued.

[Shinji Matou stood up unsteadily, staring wide-eyed at the Emiya Archer before him. "What's going on!?" he roared.]

[However, the Emiya Archer ignored Shinji Matou, instead slowly picking up the scarf that had belonged to Sakura Matou from the ground, his face contemplative.]

[Seeing this, Shinji Matou instantly flew into a rage.]

["Hey! What's with that attitude!? Is it because of this... Could it be... Could it be... Could it be you think you're better than me!?"]

[Amidst such arrogant words, the Emiya Archer finally reacted. He cast a cold glance at Shinji Matou and said lightly, "You... are not suited to be an Assassin..."]

At this moment, in the timeline of the Fifth Holy Grail War, Sasaki Kojirou nodded in agreement.

This Shinji Matou was indeed not suited to be an Assassin.

Although he himself was not a qualified Assassin—being unsuited for the Assassin class and closer to an undead spirit summoned illegally by Caster—Shinji Matou's performance was even worse.

And in the Sixth Singularity.

Cursed Arm Hassan agreed even more with the Emiya's judgment.

After all, he knew his own capabilities. For an Assassin to fight head-on like this was utterly irrational!

An Assassin is not a Berserker. Such a combat style was tantamount to suicide.

Moreover, Shinji Matou was using his own Heroic Spirit Card, borrowing his power.

To be beaten so easily was tantamount to disgracing his name.

This was something Cursed Arm Hassan could never accept.

Given the choice, Cursed Arm Hassan would never want someone like Shinji Matou to wield his power!

The light curtain continued to flicker.

[A flicker of surprise crossed Shinji Matou's face, followed by an extremely angry roar that resounded across the scene: "You look down on me too!?"]

[At this moment, he had completely lost his mind, his entire body erupting with terrifying magical energy. Shinji Matou's eyes glowed red, and the tentacles from the stumps of his arms surged incessantly, completely enveloping his body in an instant.]

[The next second, to the astonishment of all viewers, a huge monster appeared on the screen, emitting a foul, scarlet aura. Shinji Matou was wrapped within that massive fleshy sphere!]

[This enormous monster continuously mobilized all its magical energy, sending endless tentacles surging toward the Emiya Archer. However, facing this disgusting scene, the Emiya Archer's expression remained extremely calm. His tranquil voice echoed in the air: "Trace On."]

[With these words, the Emiya Archer projected two weapons into his hands once more, and then his figure suddenly vanished from the spot. Countless tentacles chased after the Emiya Archer, but this was exactly what he wanted. The twin blades in his hands traced an arc; with a sizzling sound, countless tentacles were immediately severed.]
