At this moment, the audience was stunned by the magician's mutterings within the light screen.
[Bullet Comments]
[Gilgamesh: This fellow has quite the appetite. He dares to dream of summoning a god-level Servant.]
[El-Melloi II: But in an ordinary Holy Grail War, it's impossible to summon a god-level Servant, right?]
[Merlin: It is indeed impossible in an ordinary Holy Grail War, but this is no ordinary Holy Grail War!]
[Merlin: Even if a god is truly summoned in this Holy Grail War, I wouldn't find it strange.]
[Zuoken: That's true. The Servants that have appeared before are basically not ordinary; they're all cheaters. If you summon an ordinary Servant now, you'll probably be eliminated directly.]
Simultaneously, within the light screen, the magician suddenly began to curse the chimera.
[This man knew that summoning a god-level Servant was no easy task.]
[The meager power of the ley lines and the Servants alone could not meet the stringent conditions for summoning a divine existence.]
[Thus, he had to embark on a path of heresy.]
[The dog before him was one of the conditions he had meticulously prepared, an important medium for summoning a god.]
[Thinking of this, the magician's face revealed unconcealable rage, and he stomped down hard on it.]
["You... you are the medium prepared for this grand summoning! Why do you not accept this honor, but instead repay kindness with enmity!"]
[By now, the chimera was no longer capable of whining, its vision filled entirely with blood-red and darkness. Yet, even so, it still relied on its instinct to survive, struggling to get up and escape.]
[Witnessing this scene, the magician was momentarily stunned, then stepped on the chimera's back, pressing it mercilessly into the ground.]
["That's enough. I have already prepared multiple spare vessels. You only need to return the Command Spells to me and then die. However, you do not have the right to choose freedom. I will throw you into the furnace and refine you into a new test subject."]
[As he spoke, the magician's right hand reached for the chimera's Command Spells.]
[But in truth, for the chimera, the Command Spells, the Holy Grail War, and even the magecraft and gods the man spoke of were all meaningless.]
[The chimera was utterly bewildered by all this, driven only by the instinct to survive, compelling its body to keep struggling.]
[To live—this desire was deeply imprinted in every fiber of its being.]
[This was not a simple wish, but an instinct from the deepest part of life. Its only hope was to survive.]
[And this tenacious will to survive unexpectedly triggered the magic crest within its body at this moment. Then...]
[A deafening roar echoed through the forest. It was the cry of the most determined will among all living beings in this land of Snowfield.]
[At this moment, the ritual known as Heroic Spirit Summoning quietly commenced!]
At this moment, everyone stared at the screen in astonishment.
They never imagined that the chimera, used as a medium, would actually complete the Heroic Spirit Summoning with its desire to survive.
Countless Heroic Spirits and magicians now looked forward to the light screen with anticipation.
[Bullet Comments]
[Waver Velvet: So which god is it? Is it related to the desire to survive, the vitality faction?]
[Jeanne d'Arc: To survive, right? Isn't that the common wish of all living beings? Which god will be summoned by this biological instinct and immense desire?]
[Shirou Emiya: I don't know about other things, but survival seems to conflict with plague. Aren't the two mortal enemies?]
[Kiritsugu Emiya: Actually, under normal circumstances, plague should be the mortal enemy of all life forms.]
While everyone was discussing the Heroic Spirit about to appear in the light screen, the images within it continued to shift.
[At this moment, the magician failed to grasp the profound meaning behind the roar, nor did he realize that... the Heroic Spirit he had tried to summon, the power he thought he could control, had vanished into nothingness!]
[The roar that resounded through the heavens completed the [ritual] in but a moment.]
[The roar itself was magecraft, an incantation of summoning that transcended time and space. The Heroic Spirit of the Lancer class was fully summoned at this moment!]
[Buzz——!!!]
[Powerful magical energy surged like a tide!]
[Dazzling light instantly illuminated the entire forest, as if day had broken. Accompanied by heart-pounding magical energy, a violent whirlwind suddenly arose. The surrounding trees swayed incessantly in the raging wind, as if about to be uprooted.]
[Even the magician was caught off guard, blown several meters away by the sudden whirlwind. He stared in shock at the scene before him, an ominous premonition rising in his heart.]
[The sense of crisis compelled him to quickly raise his gun, but it was too late to stop it now...]
[The next second, he felt the terrifying magical energy. It was an overwhelming force no human could possess! Under the impact of this energy, the Magic Circuits in his body seemed to freeze and stiffen.]
[Just then, a figure appeared before the magician's eyes.]
["How... How is this possible?!"]
[Confusion and fear intertwined in the magician's mind. He widened his eyes in disbelief.]
[The next second, a figure quietly appeared within the magician's field of vision. "How... how could this be?" Doubt pierced his mind like a sharp arrow.]
[There was no doubt that the one who had appeared before him was a Heroic Spirit! The overwhelming magical energy flowing through its body silently proclaimed its god-like nature.]
[Although the Heroic Spirit wore extremely plain clothes, its aura was enough to reveal its extraordinariness. This was vastly different from the Heroic Spirit the magician had imagined.]
[In his fantasies, the Heroic Spirit should be an immensely luxurious hero, holding various weapons and clad in resplendent armor. Yet, the mysterious being before him was exceedingly plain in appearance, without any conspicuous equipment or weapons, wearing only simple garments.]
[If not for that formidable magical energy, he might have been inconspicuous in a crowd.]
[Not entirely inconspicuous! At the very least, this Heroic Spirit's appearance was extremely eye-catching.]
[His beauty was breathtaking. Even in a crowd, his outstanding looks could instantly draw everyone's attention.]
And at this moment, in the timeline of the Fourth Holy Grail War.
Gilgamesh, sitting on his throne, looked at the Heroic Spirit that had appeared in the image, his careless expression instantly shifting to astonishment.
The next second, that astonishment turned into loud laughter.
"Hahahaha!!! To think... To think such a thing could happen..." Joyful laughter echoed in the space, and Gilgamesh's face was filled with an extremely excited smile.
"I never expected to meet you again in a Holy Grail War... Enkidu...!" His face was a mix of nostalgia, excitement, guilt, and all sorts of emotions that finally settled into joy.
After all, they were about to meet again; naturally, he was overjoyed!
"Hahahaha, Enkidu! Let us continue our last battle!" Gilgamesh laughed heartily, likely already anticipating the actions he and the Enkidu on the screen were about to undertake.
After all, no one knew the relationship between him and Enkidu better than he did.
Having been separated for so long, they naturally wouldn't want to miss this grand battle.
Seeing this scene, Kotomine Kirei beside him also showed a pleased expression. He hadn't expected his King to be so happy.
"So, if the King of Heroes and Enkidu on the screen were to meet..."
He couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation, curious about what kind of sparks these two heroic spirits would create in the upcoming battle.
Simultaneously, the bullet comments were exploding.
[Bullet Comments]
[Waver Velvet: He looks like a beautiful girl, which god is this?]
[Merlin: This is Enkidu, who shares a deep bond with the King of Heroes!]
[Nero: Hmm, for these two to actually meet, I'm afraid the ensuing battle will be enough to overturn the entire continent!]
[Kiara Sessyoin: Enough to overturn the entire continent? Even if it is a god and the King of Heroes, that seems a bit exaggerated.]
[Tai Gong Wang: A god, huh? I'd really like to try my Divine Whip on one.]
Meanwhile, in the light screen.
[The magician stared shockedly at the scene before him, while silently observing Enkidu's form.]
[The magician frowned, staring intently at the Heroic Spirit opposite him.]
[The other party did have a human face, but it felt strange. It felt familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before...]
[There was a sense of familiarity.]
[If he had to describe it in one word, it was... like a puppet crafted by a magician with magical significance!]
[If this fellow was a puppet, then without a doubt, he was the most perfect puppet...]
[Enkidu paid no mind to the magician's thoughts, for he had not been summoned to this world because of him.]
[At this moment, his gaze rested on the chimera lying on the ground, a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes. However, the necessary procedures still needed to be carried out...]
[He looked with heartache at the injured chimera and asked gently, "Are you... the Master who summoned me?"]
[The chimera, like a puppy, looked bewilderedly at the scene before it. The sudden flash and strong wind had left it at a loss.]
[But when it saw Enkidu's figure, it quietly felt relieved. Though it didn't know why, it was certain that the person before it was not an enemy!]
[There was no evidence for this certainty, but it was an indisputable fact!]
[The chimera looked at Enkidu, suppressed the urge to escape in its heart, and a flicker of doubt passed through its eyes. After their gazes met, it seemed as if a silent communication passed between them. At that moment, the contract was formally established!]
[The chimera would participate in this Holy Grail War as the Master.]
[After completing all this, Enkidu silently reached out and embraced the bruised body of the chimera, his gentle voice echoing through the space: "Thank you. The contract is established."]
[The exceedingly gentle voice was like the words of an old friend, making the chimera feel at ease from the bottom of its heart, as if it had been acknowledged by someone, as if it had been granted permission to continue living.]
[There was no more need to escape...]
[This was what the chimera sensed from Enkidu's gentle words. Understanding this, overwhelmed with emotion, it finally lay peacefully in Enkidu's arms.]
[Witnessing this scene, the magician was utterly unable to comprehend it!]
["How could such a thing happen? That beast actually became the Master..."]
[This was completely unacceptable to a magician, especially a proud one.]
["How... But... How is it possible! How could this happen!"]
[Unable to comprehend the reality before him, the magician swung his gun towards Enkidu! He could not accept it, nor would he admit it...]
[As a noble magician, he could not accept that the Heroic Spirit he was about to summon had been taken by the chimera he had raised. If this got out, wouldn't he become a laughingstock?]
["How can I admit to such an absurd thing!"]
[Rage, fear, doubt... all sorts of complex emotions surged in his mind. At this moment, he actually lost his senses and pointed his gun at the Heroic Spirit.]
Looking at the events in the light screen.
In Chaldea, Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mash Kyrielight watched the screen with great interest.
They had never seen Enkidu before, but they had seen Kingu.
At the same time, they also knew what Kingu would do in such a situation.
It was precisely because of this that they were extremely interested in Enkidu's reaction.
After all, this could also slightly reflect his personality. If they encountered him in a future Singularity, this would also be an important piece of intelligence.
And on the bullet comments...
[Bullet Comments]
[Tōsaka Tokiomi: As a magician, I can very well understand the feelings of the magician in the light screen. But knowing the other party might be a god, acting so recklessly is completely brainless.]
[Waver Velvet: This is courage! While courage is commendable, his life is probably in danger.]
[El-Melloi II: Completely controlled by emotions, acting without considering the consequences. Such a magician is truly weak, no wonder his Servant was taken by the chimera.]
Meanwhile, in the light screen.
["Just a beast! To actually... seek out such an incompetent chimera as a Master? Don't joke around!"]
[Although the true name and gender of the Heroic Spirit were unknown, the kind of magical energy emanating from its body undoubtedly spoke of its extraordinariness.]
[And such a being actually... acknowledged the beast as its Master and abandoned him, a magician!?]
[How could he accept this?]
[Though the magician was terrified, his current rage overwhelmed his reason.]
[However, facing the enraged magician, Enkidu showed no change in expression. He merely turned his head and looked quietly at the magician, his eyes seeming to hold endless depth and wisdom.]
[If his Master had not shown any intent to kill, the magician would likely have been in grave danger. However, Enkidu still gave him a small warning.]
[For a moment, thick sand enveloped the magician, as if to swallow him.]
["Please put down the gun. The Master holds no murderous intent towards you." Enkidu's words shocked the magician.]
[The magician was shocked not only by Enkidu's attitude but also by the meaning of his words.]
[He knew full well what he had done to the chimera. No one could accept such a thing, yet the beast held no desire for revenge.]
[For a moment, rebuttals echoed in the magician's mind.]
["How is that possible! You're just saying that..."]
[However, the moment his words fell, the Heroic Spirit Enkidu opposite him merely showed a serious expression.]
["I can understand their language... and I can imagine what you did to the Master."]
[The magician seemed to want to say something, but the next second, Enkidu's words continued.]
["...But the Master does not intend to kill you... You understand what I mean."]
[Enkidu's words stunned the magician, and the gun in his hand slowly lowered. Though his heart was still filled with reluctance and doubt, he also understood that he stood no chance of winning at this moment.]
