Chapter 123: Saber Artoria! Descends!

"EX rank? Knights of the Round Table? In other words, even if I become a Heroic Spirit, I can fight side-by-side with my knights? That's great."

Artoria was clearly very satisfied with this reward.

Although Artoria's Knights of the Round Table only had 150 people, compared to the 100,000-strong army of the Ionioi Hetairoi, which is also an EX-rank Reality Marble, it was a bit shabby.

But the point is, Artoria's knights can use Noble Phantasms!

The twelve seat-holders of the Knights of the Round Table are at least 3-star (Gareth's Saber class is 4; the highest is taken here). Which one of them isn't a one-man army when they become a Heroic Spirit?

Plus a group of great knights who can fight a hundred, it's really hard to say who would win if they actually fought the Ionioi Hetairoi.

Reward 2: Shining Path EX

Effect: An advanced skill of Instinct. EX: You can briefly predict the future; you trust your intuition more than your eyes.

"Trust intuition more than eyes?"

My King obtained this ability. She tried closing her eyes tentatively, and then she was shocked to find that she could actually see through everything nearby from 360 degrees without any blind spots!

She could even feel the movements of mice crawling underground.

"It seems my swordsmanship can be improved again."

My King looked at the next reward with satisfaction.

Magic Craft Essence: Crown of the Star

When Artoria equips this essence, the attack power of all friendly units increases by 15%.

Simple and clear.

The reward essence for Artoria's bond level 10 in FGO. Don't underestimate 15%; you must know that Artoria is a King! How many subordinates does she have?

It's no exaggeration to say that the importance of this essence to Artoria even exceeds Instinct EX.

Reward 4: Mana A (The mana attribute possessed by Lin Ye, which can be superimposed with one's own attributes.)

This reward is very straightforward, but it's not unimportant just because it's straightforward. After all, Artoria now has a mana-hungry Reality Marble; the higher the mana, the longer she can sustain it.

Feeling the new power she had obtained, Artoria also showed a satisfied smile.

With such strength, I will definitely be able to help Lin Ye then.

You were the one helping me before, and from now on, let me help you.

And a thousand years later, at the Einzbern Castle.

A white-haired beauty was drawing a huge magic circle on the ground. There were bright red Command Spells on the back of her hand, which also indicated her identity.

Irisviel von Einzbern!

"Finally finished."

Irisviel looked at the magic circle in front of her with satisfaction. To summon this Heroic Spirit to participate in the Holy Grail War, she had prepared for 9 years. Now, has the most critical moment finally arrived?

"I wonder if I can summon that King, and will it be difficult to get along with such an existence?"

Irisviel was still a bit worried because Lin Ye had simulated Emiya Kiritsugu in a biased way, so Irisviel never met Emiya Kiritsugu. Therefore, for so many years, she had been alone in this castle that seemed to have remained unchanged since ancient times. Now, she was finally going to welcome a little bit of different change.

Although she might go to Fuyuki City later, and although she might die there, life is like a mayfly; as long as one enjoys it to the fullest, it won't be a wasted life.

Brief happiness is always better than endless sorrow.

Thinking of this, Irisviel placed Avalon in the center of the magic circle. Subsequently, she stood in front of the magic circle and chanted the summoning incantation for the Heroic Spirit:

"Fill, fill, fill, fill, fill. Repeat five times..."

Hum!

As Irisviel chanted the incantation, the magic circle in front of her lit up instantly! Immediately after, Irisviel felt the mana in her body being rapidly absorbed by this magic circle!

Heroic Spirit summoning: the mana for the Heroic Spirit itself to be maintained in this world is mainly provided by the Holy Grail absorbing the mana of the dragon vein, and the Master only needs to bear a portion of the mana. Therefore, even a layman like Ryuunosuke Uryuu can summon a Heroic Spirit.

However, the strength of the summoned Heroic Spirit is related to the Master themselves. For example, Medusa when Matou Shinji is the Master and Medusa when Sakura is the Master are basically two different levels of existence.

And now, Irisviel, who was summoning the Heroic Spirit, felt as if her whole body was about to be hollowed out!

She is a homunculus! Her mana reserves are much stronger than ordinary people's! Even she felt so strenuous! How powerful must this summoned Heroic Spirit be!

"You are the one who binds the seven heavens of the three great incantations!" Irisviel was still persisting; she absolutely could not give up halfway here! Finally! She used her last bit of strength and shouted loudly!

"Come from the wheel of restraint! Guardian of the balance!"

Boom!

Violent mana gushed out from the magic circle! The terrifying storm blew Irisviel to the ground.

And at this moment, Irisviel couldn't care about the pain in her butt from falling; her gaze had already been completely attracted by the figure in the magic circle!

What a beautiful yet heroic woman; she seemed to be the most perfect work of art created by God.

And at this moment, this woman finally opened her eyes. Under the cold moonlight, she just looked at Irisviel in front of her, and then said the first sentence after she arrived in this world:

"My name is Saber, summoned in compliance with the call! I ask you, are you my Master!" ===== CHAPTER 125 =====
