Chapter 279 Seed of Power
Night.
In the luxurious and spacious bathroom, Shirou Emiya was soaking in the bathtub, enjoying this quiet moment.
Because he was the only male guest in this mansion, so that even though the bathtub here was very large, he always took a bath here alone.
It was really a bit lonely!
"What a pity, I took a bath first today. If it were in the past, Sakura would be with me at this time."
Usually, Shirou Emiya always waited until the girls finished taking a bath before coming alone.
At that time, almost everyone returned to their rooms after taking a bath.
At such times, Sakura would occasionally sneak in and accompany Shirou Emiya.
But now, because of the previous battle, Luvia and others were busy in the living room.
So this was the first time that Shirou Emiya came to take a bath so early.
After all, no one knew when they would have a meeting.
"But a lot of things really happened today!"
"First I met Kallen, and then I met Bazette."
"I thought I could stretch my muscles after meeting Bazette, but I didn't expect the battle to end so quickly. If I hadn't shown mercy, she would have died on the spot!"
Although Shirou Emiya knew before that his strength was no longer comparable to his original self.
But being able to crush Bazette like this still made him feel deeply moved.
Now, he is no longer someone that an ordinary magician can deal with.
Physically, Shirou Emiya, whose all attributes can reach A-level, is completely a humanoid dragon, an existence whose strength cannot be borne by humans.
Technically, Shirou Emiya's swordsmanship and archery have entered the realm of God, and his spearmanship and hand-to-hand combat are not far from the realm of God.
Facing magic, not to mention other things, his anti-magic power alone is enough to give them a pot.
Such Shirou Emiya is completely a crushing existence when facing those ordinary magicians.
Therefore, the moment he fought with Bazette, he noticed this and then held back.
In addition, he wanted to see the release of the backlight sword, so Bazette could hold on for so long.
If he had gone all out directly, Bazette would have been gone in an instant.
"Now that I think about it, the only one who can be my opponent should be him! Black Shining!"
Thinking back to the anime he had watched before, Shirou Emiya was thoughtful.
Although the previous information cannot be trusted, it can still be used as a reference.
Now, the eighth class card Gilgamesh that came with Miyu has absorbed magic power in the earth veins for nearly two months, which is extremely terrifying.
Especially the last giant stage, although that is the form caused by incomplete flesh, it also makes Gilgamesh lose the weakness of close combat.
The appearance of wielding the mountain-slashing sword is terrifying.
In addition, there is the consciousness of the young Shining, which makes his strength surprisingly strong.
If he hadn't met the star girl Illya who was cheating, he, Gilgamesh, would be invincible.
But unfortunately, under Illya's saturation bombardment of the multi-player duet, everything turned to ashes.
These are the only two times in Shirou Emiya's memory where he won after fighting against the Sword of Disunity.
The last one was in the 2006 version of Fate/stay night, when Saber defeated Shining with the Sword of Promised Victory.
"However, this time, your opponent will be me, Gilgamesh!"
After washing up, Shirou Emiya came out of the bathroom and saw Luvia and others who were in a meeting.
Although it was late at night, Illya and Kuro were still here.
This shows how urgent the situation is for them.
"The eighth class card?"
"I wonder what it will be like!"
After hearing the explanations of Rin Tohsaka and Luvia, Illya and Kuro at this time already understood the danger of the matter, but they did not have much sense of reality.
Only Miyu looked cautious at this time.
The eighth class card, she didn't know the existence of this class card.
The Holy Grail War she knew was a ceremony in which seven magicians used seven class cards to gain the power of the Heroic Spirits and then decide the winner.
Therefore, there should only be seven class cards!
Looking at Miyu who looked cautious and puzzled, Shirou Emiya couldn't help but smile.
Although Shirou Emiya told Miyu a lot of things, he didn't say much about their original world.
After all, Shirou Emiya, who hadn't read the comics, might not know as much as Miyu!
Besides, in that world, there were only Miyu's painful memories.
Therefore, Shirou Emiya didn't tell Miyu those things.
"By the way, what would the eighth class card be? I remember there are only seven classes in the Holy Grail War!"
Hearing Xiao Hei's question, Luvia and Rin Toosaka were equally confused.
They didn't even know that cards were related to the Holy Grail War.
"Wait, Xiao Hei, what does the Holy Grail War mean? Why are class cards related to the Holy Grail War!"
Although Rin Toosaka was full of doubts at this time, Xiao Hei did not answer her question, but asked Shirou Emiya who was sitting next to her: "Brother should know!"
"Me?"
Putting down the bitten apple, Shirou Emiya swallowed the apple in his mouth and said lightly: "I know!"
"What class is it?"
"It's Archer!"
"Is it the second Archer?"
Hearing Shirou Emiya's explanation, Xiao Hei couldn't help but think about it.
"Wait, wait! What are you talking about? I don't understand!"
Rin Tohsaka yelled loudly, rushing between the two and asking, "Are you hiding any information from us?"
"Hey, didn't I tell you that the class card was originally obtained by Miyu?"
"No!"
"Indeed, but you didn't seem to ask!"
"Huh? Shouldn't you confess it yourself?"
"But I don't have anything to confess!"
Rin Tohsaka wailed loudly, her scalp numbing from Shirou Emiya's words.
And Luvia, who was standing next to her, was stroking her chin at this time, with an expression of "I see".
"It's true, it's almost what I guessed!"
"You guessed it? Why do you know more than me!"
"Stupid, of course it's because I'm smarter!"
"You're calling me stupid!"
"I shouldn't be hiding it!"
As they said that, the two of them immediately started fighting in the room.
Ignoring the two troublesome women, Xiao Hei continued to ask Shirou Emiya: "Brother, why are there two Archers!"
Feeling the puzzled eyes of the three girls, Shirou Emiya smiled and said: "Because the Archer that constitutes you was once just a useless card that could not summon any Heroic Spirits."
"However, at the moment when the owner of this card faced death, his will was transmitted to the distant Hall of Heroes through this card and was accepted by his future self."
"At that moment, the boy prayed for the heroes' response, but no one paid attention. In the end, only he responded to him, and he made the fake card become a real card!"
Listening to Shirou Emiya's narration, the scenes that had never been seen before seemed to appear in front of the three girls, which was very moving.
Looking at the three girls who were deeply affected, Shirou Emiya smiled and suddenly asked seriously: "I have a seed that can make you stronger. Are you willing to accept it?"
