At this moment, Artoria was already standing before the prepared summoning circle.
She closed her eyes and placed one hand over her chest.
The golden sword was drawn out.
No—rather than a "sword," it was more like some sword-shaped object formed from golden Spiritual Particles.
Like an unfinished blade.
The golden sword floated above the summoning circle.
Artoria extended her hand.
"I hereby declare—"
"Hmm?!"
Perhaps because the magical power was too immense, Rin and the others noticed the changes at Ryudoji Temple the moment Artoria spoke.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, you're summoning a Heroic Spirit now??" Rin was stunned. "That's the enemy's main base!"
Summoning one at Ryudoji Temple was equivalent to summoning one right in front of a beast.
There was no doubt it would cause an enormous mess.
"Um—Mr. Merlin? Mr. Merlin?"
Rin Tohsaka called out again, but ever since Saber had vanished, Merlin had vanished as well.
"—Your body shall serve under me, and my fate shall rest upon your sword."
The chant had already begun.
Surging magical power burst forth from Artoria's body.
"If you heed the Holy Grail's call, and obey this will and this reason, then answer me."
Countless "angels" poured forth from deeper within Ryudoji Temple. They were all black "fallen angels."
Yet the vast magical power pouring out kept the monsters from advancing even a single step.
"I swear here that I shall accomplish all good in this world. I shall destroy all evil in this world—"
Artoria raised her head.
"You who are shrouded in the Seven Heavens of the Three Great Words of Power, come forth from the distant land of ideals, O guardian of paradise—"
