[A random blow from the Emiya Archer can tear the skin and flesh of Matou Shinji, who has transformed into a monster.]
[However, due to the large number of tentacles, none of the injuries are fatal.]
[After a prolonged struggle, the Emiya Archer stops holding back.]
["I will end you with this move!"]
[As these words fall, a terrifying magical power surges within the Emiya Archer Warrior's body. He slowly extends his hand, a blue magical light flashing!]
[Soon, a bow appears in his hand!]
[The Emiya Archer's other hand projects an arrow—the Pseudo-Spiral Sword!]
[There is no doubt that the next blow will decide the outcome. The Emiya Archer nocks the Pseudo-Spiral Sword onto the longbow and slowly draws it back!]
[Spiraling Sword Caladbolg II—this is another trump card of the Emiya Archer besides Unlimited Blade Works, possessing extremely powerful destructive force. Moreover, its required energy consumption is remarkably low.]
[However, at the moment he draws the bow, the Emiya Archer closes his eyes.]
[The next second, with a slash, the sound of a sharp weapon cutting through flesh echoes.]
[The Emiya Archer's sword blade fiercely pierces through Matou Shinji's body.]
[Matou Shinji had already escaped from the monster's form and sneaked behind the Emiya Archer, ready to attack at any moment. However, he did not succeed; instead, the Emiya Archer used this opportunity to strike him heavily.]
[At this moment, Matou Shinji is utterly consumed by the fear of death. He struggles desperately, crawling away as if survival depends on it.]
["No... I don't want to die..."] he screams desperately.
[Faced with such a scene, the Emiya Archer Warrior feels no sympathy in his heart. "Sakura probably felt the same way back then," he says coldly.]
["Are you mocking me? Of course I know that," Matou Shinji responds in agony. "No one in this world wants to die, so..."]
[His words cut off abruptly. At this moment, Matou Shinji seems to understand something. "So... so that's how it is..." He suddenly remembers that he had already died long ago.]
[This cruel reality completely shatters him. The Emiya Archer Warrior stands silently by, watching until the very end.]
[Matou Shinji suddenly remembers that he had died long ago... This thought makes him look up at the sky, his eyes filled with relief. "So that's it. I finally remember everything."]
["Ha, hahahaha! Damn it, damn it, damn it! I'm already dead!" His angry words echo incessantly, revealing his inner struggle and resentment.]
[As if remembering something, he casts a pleading gaze toward the Emiya Archer Warrior beside him. "That's enough. Kill me, Emiya," his voice betraying a desire for release.]
[Hearing this, the Emiya Archer Warrior's expression remains largely unchanged. He is no saint. Whether to forgive Shinji is Sakura's decision. All he must do is send Shinji to see Sakura.]
[Thinking this, the twin blades in his hands trace a beautiful arc. In that instant, Matou Shinji's life is ended. However, what remains on the ground is not Matou Shinji's body, but a figure lying there... and an Assassin Class Card.]
[Seeing this, both the Emiya Archer Warrior and the audience understand—this was never the real Matou Shinji, merely a manufactured puppet.]
["A replacement spell?" the Emiya Archer Warrior's voice murmurs softly.]
At this moment, in the timeline of the Fifth Holy Grail War.
Matou Residence.
Matou Shinji, watching the scene on the screen, flies into a rage.
"What the hell, Lady Julian!"
"What the hell is this replacement spell?"
"You dare to kill me? Not only did you kill me, but you used a doll to impersonate me!"
"You really deserve to die!"
Furious, Matou Shinji shouts and smashes things around him.
And at this moment, the comment section explodes.
[Comments]
[Cú Chulainn: This Matou Shinji was actually a fake? A puppet?]
[Diarmuid ua Duibhne: Can magecraft really achieve something like this?]
[Waver Velvet: As expected of a family specializing in magecraft for generations. To use a replacement spell to such an extent is simply unbelievable!]
[Jeanne d'Arc: It's despicable that such a family would do such things while daring to wear the mantle of justice!]
[In the recording, the Emiya Archer doesn't react much.]
[He has already figured everything out...]
[In this battle, he found his own direction. The road ahead is no longer confusing. Facing the heavy snow, he walks step by step. Step by step, he moves from the bright path onto the dark streets. And this is only the beginning of the story!]
[The scene changes. The Emiya Archer is battling another opponent.]
[This time, his opponent is someone using the Caster card. Although Caster's combat ability is relatively weak, it is not an enemy to be taken lightly. That person's magecraft once placed the Emiya Archer in a difficult fight.]
[However, with strong willpower and unexpected strength, the Emiya Archer ultimately uses his longbow—this time with red arrows—to defeat the enemy.]
[Then, the third enemy, Rider, stands before him. But even Rider cannot stop him. The battle scene flashes by; with a single sword stroke, Rider can only fall helplessly.]
[At this moment, Rider's eyes are filled with shock as he murmurs, "Who are you...? What is the name of that Heroic Spirit...?"]
[Hearing the question, the Emiya Archer simply states his name lightly, as if all of this is only natural for him.]
["Emiya."]
[After defeating Rider, the Emiya Archer does not halt his steps.]
[He continues forward, continues to seek out the enemy. As long as the enemy remains, the Emiya Shirou's battle will not end!]
