Chapter 55 - Chapter 55: Final Stand

At this moment, on the light screen.

[Emiya Archer/Shirou stood firm, like an unshakable mountain.]

|=|

["The future I can reach..." As soon as the words left his mouth, the blood in his body surged like a river.]

[Magic Circuits awakened within him, emerging from his body like stars, with a wisp of smoky light lingering around his face, revealing that he was undergoing an extraordinary transformation.]

[This was Shirou Emiya's skin melting and decomposing, then recombining, like a phoenix undergoing nirvana, being reborn from the ashes.]

[A faint white streak was visible on Shirou Emiya's head, a mark left after losing the card. However...]

["Let the ideal incarnation merge with me," he whispered, his voice filled with firm belief.]

["After countless battles, I have finally comprehended the skills and Magic Circuits of my future self." As he spoke, countless magical weapons appeared around him, as if they were the embodiment of his inner strength.]

["Now, I have accepted the origin of this power..." The Magic Circuits on his body continued to emit a brilliant light, like the brightest stars in the night sky. Then, a terrifying magical energy erupted, shocking everyone present.]

[The Emiya Archer then projected Gan Jiang and Mo Ye; the pair of legendary magical swords shone brightly in his hands.]

["Every battle brings me closer to the Heroic Spirit Emiya." His words were full of confidence and determination, as if he had seen the path of his future.]

[At that moment, he unleashed an unprecedented power, as if capable of engulfing the entire world. Yes, now, even without that card, he could freely wield the power of the Heroic Spirit Emiya and display unparalleled might.]

[At this moment, the Emiya Archer could freely utilize the power of the Heroic Spirit Emiya without relying on that card.]

[Because he was no longer the magus who was merely summoned by dreams and dependent on the power granted by the card, but had truly transformed into the Heroic Spirit itself, merging with that power!]

[However, achieving such a state was by no means as easy as the Emiya Archer made it sound. Hidden behind it was a tremendous price: the complete overexertion of his body.]

[The audience was shocked witnessing this scene. This was the price the Emiya Archer paid for power.]

[He resolutely embarked on this path, devoting his entire body and mind to this power.]

[His figure stood firm on the battlefield, like an eternal monument, demonstrating his boundless courage and determination. And this very awareness was the key to him becoming a true Heroic Spirit!]

[Bullet Comments]

[Tohsaka Rin: This guy, his actions are truly in character for him.]

[Miyu: I never expected Brother Shirou to go this far for me.]

[Waver: This is different from the Fourth Holy Grail War. In the Fourth War, Shirou Emiya awakened his power on his own, but here, Shirou Emiya is practically no different from a Heroic Spirit.]

[Merlin: Although it looks straightforward on the light screen, the difficulty involved cannot be simply explained, and it's not without cost!]

[El-Melloi II: That's true. The white hair is the most obvious evidence. Shirou Emiya has put in more than just effort!]

[Lancelot: At this moment, Shirou Emiya is essentially the same as a Heroic Spirit. Does that mean he has mastered his ultimate trump card, the Innate Bounded Field - Unlimited Blade Works?]

[Gawain: He should have mastered it. I just wonder if Shirou Emiya still has enough magical energy to sustain it at this point, after so many battles.]

At this moment, on the light screen, the battle is about to begin!

[Shirou Emiya looked at Angelica and said solemnly.]

[ "You said I was merely a mortal, right? How naive, King of Heroes." ]

[The Emiya Archer's voice echoed through the air, and the weapons he projected instantly levitated, confronting Angelica's Gate of Babylon.]

[Faced with this scene, Angelica's lips curled into a disdainful sneer. What use were more projections? They were merely replicas. How could their power compare to the originals?]

[However, she herself did not realize that the power of the King of Heroes she possessed was also obtained through the Heroic Spirit Card. When it came down to it, she too was just a replica...]

[But at this moment, she did not ponder this deeply, instead casting a contemptuous glance at the Emiya Archer. "A replica dares to challenge me?"]

[As her words fell, endless golden ripples emerged behind her, and then countless treasures shot forth like rain.]

[Clang! Clang! Clang!!!]

[The continuous sound of collisions reverberated through the space, triggering a series of shocking shockwaves. The golden treasures and the blades projected by the Emiya Archer constantly intertwined and clashed mid-air.]

[Simultaneously, the Emiya Archer did not cease his actions. While launching those projected treasures, he agilely dodged the treasures attacking from all directions and swiftly charged towards Angelica's position.]

[He knew that since he needed to project the treasures, it consumed a significant amount of magical energy. Angelica, however, merely needed to take treasures from her treasury; projecting them consumed almost no magical energy. If this continued, defeat was inevitable.]

[Therefore, the Emiya Archer clearly understood that only close-quarters combat would give him a chance of victory!]

[In this space, countless treasures and dangers surged every second. If anyone were to accidentally step into this area, they might instantly be turned into a pincushion by the abilities of these two.]

[Amidst the terrifying roars, the Emiya Archer reached Angelica in almost an instant.]

[ "Haa!" The Emiya Archer swung the twin blades in his hands, creating a sharp clashing sound and fierce sparks in the air.]

[It turned out that in that instant, Angelica had summoned a golden treasure from the treasury behind her, successfully blocking the fatal blow.]

[The two sides were locked in a stalemate, the atmosphere extremely tense.]

At the same time, in the timeline of the Fifth Holy Grail War.

Tohsaka Rin's residence.

Tohsaka Rin watched the battle on the light screen and suddenly turned to look at Archer.

"I have to say, your fighting style is somewhat similar to that Goldie's in certain aspects."

"Although the principles are completely different, it's possible for those unaware of the truth to mistake them for the same ability."

After saying this, Tohsaka Rin couldn't help but laugh.

"I wonder if it's because the expression of your powers is so similar that you two seem fated to be rivals."

"Even across worlds, you still have to fight to see who is the real one."

Hearing Tohsaka Rin's words, Archer sighed helplessly.

What could he do? He didn't want this. After all, encountering that guy would definitely be troublesome.

[On the light screen.]

[Suddenly, with a buzzing sound, golden ripples appeared beneath the Emiya Archer.]

[Oh no...]

[Before the Emiya Archer could react, a massive golden sword sprang forth from the golden ripples, instantly knocking him away.]

[Angelica's attack did not stop there. Countless golden ripples appeared in the air once more, and then treasures surged out like a storm.]

[Under this fierce assault, the Emiya Archer could only lie prone on the ground in a sorry state. Angelica looked calmly at this scene, a cold smirk on her lips.]

[ "Although I don't know what absurd methods you used, it's all in vain. What awaits you is only destruction." ]

[The Emiya Archer naturally understood all of this, but in order to protect his sister, he must not lose!]

[Gritting his teeth, he slowly stood up. Although his posture was somewhat狼狈 (bedraggled), his gaze was exceptionally firm.]

[ "The reason that has sustained my fight until now is the very 'absurd means' you mentioned - the protection and persistence for the sake of my family." ]

[His words revealed an indomitable spirit, as if declaring to Angelica that he would never give up easily.]

[ "It's because of Miyu that I've persisted until now. What a hopeless wish..." The Emiya Archer laughed self-deprecatingly, yet his tone held an unshakable resolve.]

[ "However, it is precisely because of this that I stand here resolutely, to exhaust the remainder of my life!" His voice was filled with determination and courage.]

[Then, he waved his hands, and a vast amount of magical energy suddenly erupted from his body. He began to chant his aria, each word seeming to contain boundless power.]

[ "My body is made of blades. My blood is of iron and my heart of glass." ]

[As he chanted, enormous magical formations emerged across the entire ground, as if responding to his call.]

[ "I have fought countless battles, undefeated. Yet, never have I achieved a true victory." ]

[His magical energy surged through the air, creating deafening noises, as countless powers gathered in his hands.]

[ "I have always been alone, forging swords on a hill of swords. This life holds no meaning for me. My only wish is to fight for protection." ]

[His words revealed a detachment and firmness that transcended the worldly.]

[At this moment, numerous silver chains appeared around him, attempting to bind him. However, it was all in vain.]

[ "Thus, this life shall be—" ]

[As his words fell, magical energy erupted once more. Everything before him instantly shattered and then began to regenerate.]

[In the large cavity originally hidden deep underground, countless hills miraculously emerged, like a desolate sword cemetery. There was no sign of life here, only endless silence and solemnity.]

[Witnessing this, a flash of surprise and astonishment passed through Angelica's eyes.]

[At this moment, the Emiya Archer's voice sounded slowly, carrying an indescribable majesty and power.]

[ "The boundaries between the individual and the world, between illusion and reality, are not insurmountable." ]

[His words seemed to penetrate the restraints of time and space, revealing the secret of sorcery.]

[ "Replacing external reality with the inner world, rewriting the real world with the mental landscape—this is the secret of sorcery, the Innate Bounded Field." ]

[His voice echoed within the cavern, as if resonating with this sword cemetery.]

[As his words ended, the entire cavern began to undergo a miraculous transformation. Those originally silent hills seemed to be endowed with life, slowly moving and rearranging themselves, forming a brand new world.]

[Countless sword-type weapons were scattered randomly across the ground, famous blades visible everywhere.]

[Even if all these sword-type weapons were fakes, a world composed of so many fakes was sufficient to overwhelm any powerful enemy!]

[Angelica watched all this, an indescribable shock welling up in her heart.]

[The Emiya Archer looked at the stunned Angelica and walked over to a sword.]

[With a shing, the long sword was drawn from the ground!]

[An extreme cold swept across everything, white snow fluttering like willow catkins.]

**[Instantly, the entire space was enveloped by a blizzard.]
