Chapter 11: Golden Sparks


    "—Promation."


    With the utterance of the first syble, a switch within Shinji''s body, somewhere between tangible and intangible, is activated.


    At that instant, there was a sensation of being reced within the body, a reversal of nerves, and a shift into the circuit of magical transmission.


    From this moment on, Shinji Matou would remove his human parts and be nothing more than a mysteriousponent to fulfill a purpose.


    The life force umted through the deepest levels of sleep, transformed by the 32 magic circuits throughout his body, generated magical energy, stored it, brewed it, and awaited the emergence of the only outlet for release.


    The body felt as cold as if all warmth had been removed.


    The body was in pain, as if a sword was piercing one after another.


    That was a protest of his human body, resenting the fact that it had be a magical circuit.


    Regardless of how skilled a magi may be, a person is still a person, and this pain will always apany the use of magecraft in human form.


    However, regardless of how ufortable it may be, the ritual cannot be stopped.


    The pain spread throughout the body as magical energy was generated, as if countless snakes were biting.


    This agony caused Shinji to forget himself.


    Simultaneously, he achieved the desired effect.


    His senses became extremely sharp, "seeing" the activation of the magic, and "hearing" the flow of magic within the summoning circle.


    As the entire summoning circle was filled with magic, the magical energy within Shinji''s body reached its limits. With the descent of his finger, the surging magical energy was instantly injected into the summoning circle, reducing the burdened catalyst to ash.


    Apanying this was the recitation of well-practiced incantation.


    "────Promation."


    "You, who stand beneath me, I entrust my fate to your sword."


    "Obey the summoning of the Holy Grail, follow its will, adhere to its natural order, and answer immediately."


    "I hereby swear to be the advocate of the world''s only righteousness, the eradicator of all evil in the world."


    "You are the concealed one of shadows, the executor of darkness. I am the one who walks alongside you."


    "Enveloped by the three Command Spells, bestowed by the restraint of the scales, guardian of bnce!"


    Thunder roared, and the winds stirred.


    In the oppressive gusts that even caused the eyes of the vignt Winter Maiden to remain shut, the summoning pattern was sparkled with brilliant light.


    Finally, the circuits within the magic circle are connected to a realm beyond human understanding. From the dazzling radiance that overflowed without ceasing, a figure shrouded in infinite shadows emerged, as if the master of darkness himself.


    Although the features were unclear, immense power was felt.


    Thus, their long-awaited wishes were that of two individuals.


    Coming from another realm, and arriving in this realm, the legendary phantom was enveloped in whirlwinds and lightning.


    Originally, humans transcended the realm of humanity.


    Elevated to the status of a non-human being empowered by divine force.


    These extraordinary primates, congregated in a ce suppressing divine power, the Heroic Spirits woven into countless dreams, descended upon the earth.


    And then...


    In the same ce where fate was shattered that night, in the underground chamber shrouded in darkness, someone spoke with a chilling voice.


    "Are you the Master who summoned me?"


    No one answered.


    Shinji was dumbfounded, and Justeaze was stunned.


    Both wore the same bewildered expression, staring nkly at the figure standing in the center of the summoning circle, emanating an iprehensibly powerful aura—a woman.


    Wait, a woman?


    Yes, indeed, a woman.


    However, isn''t Cu Chinn a man? Whether it''s "The Cattle Raid of Cooley" or the Fate series, Cu Chinn is undoubtedly portrayed as a male. Therefore, the person who answered the summoning was not Cu Chinn.


    The summoning ritual was sessful, but the result was a failure.


    A chill ran through Shinji''s heart and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.


    "Answer me, are you the Master who summoned me?" The cold female voice resounded once again, carrying natural and majestic authority as if she were a queen reigning over a nation.


    A queen... Could it be foxy Medb?


    Upon careful consideration, it made sense. Even though "The Cattle Raid of Cooley" did not have any direct connection to Medb, Cu Chinn himself had aplex rtionship with her. This can be seen as a different kind of close connection. Compatibility between the summoner and summoned servant is crucial in the summoning process.


    In other words, I, Shinji, have goodpatibility with Medb?


    What a joke!


    Although he entertained the idea of building a crystal pce in this magic world, it was just a fleeting thought. He has not put this into action, so how can it be possible?


    No, something must be wrong. There''s no way I have goodpatibility with Medb.


    If it is true, I will make sure she kills herself!


    With this thought in mind, Shinji summoned his courage and replied with a resolute tone, as if ready to face death: "I, Matou Shinji, am indeed your Master."


    "A cute little Master, aren''t you?"


    Thinking that she had startled the boy in front of her, the tone softened slightly and her authority diminished somewhat.


    "Servant Assassin, Scáthach, hailing from the ''Land of Shadows.'' It''s a pleasure to meet you, Master."


    "Huh?" Shinji was struck as if by a bolt of lightning, trembling all over, his mind going nk.


    She said she was who?


    Scáthach?


    I could not have misheard, right?


    With this thought in mind, Shinji asked in a trembling voice, "Um, I did not catch that earlier. Did you say your true name was Scáthach? The renowned female warrior, the queen of the ''Land of Shadows''?"


    "That is correct," the female Servant, taking on the role of Assassin, calmly replied.


    "Light." Shinji disregarded the toll it would take and unleashed a basic illumination spell.


    A fist-sized light source illuminated the underground workshop, shrouded in darkness and shadows, revealing a breathtakingly graceful figure.


    There was a time when Shinji believed that Justeaze Lizrich von Einzbern, the pinnacle of artificial beings, was the epitome of beauty surpassing any woman he had seen in his two lifetimes.


    However, at this moment, Shinji realized that he had been mistaken. Before him, the female servant was undoubtedly on par with Justeaze Lizrich von Einzbern.


    Both possessed the same golden ratio in their figures: one generated through magic and the other forged through countless exercises. The former was delicate, whereas thetter was muscr.


    Although her face was partially covered by a ck veil, her red hair, porcin-like skin, and a pair of eyes that were also red, resembling mes and emanating a deadly allure, a bewitching charm that could make people moth to a me allowed Shinji to witness another interpretation of the most beautiful.


    This beauty was called "bewitching allure." If he were not young and his body was not fully developed, perhaps his reason would havepletely disappeared at this instant.


    Of course, he now has very little reason left. Just like in FGO, when he thought it was a lower-tier servant, but suddenly transformed into Scáthach, an upper-tier servant, it was like the feeling of seeing a silver card suddenly turned into a gold card during the final ten-pull. At this moment, the only thing echoing Shinji''s mind was a single phrase.


    "I summoned Scáthach! I summoned Scáthach! I summoned Scáthach!"
