Fate: I Will Eventually Become the Hero of Justice

Chapter 105

In the Nasuverse, the path to the Root was an obstacle that every magus who attempted to reach the truth had to face. Almost every magus had encountered this challenge.

For centuries, True Magics had been passed down, including the Second Magic, which allowed the manipulation of parallel worlds, and the Third Magic, the ancestral magic of the Einzbern family.

Besides the true magics, other magi who sought to reach the truth, like the Night of Walachia who aspired to mess with the Sixth Law, also had to overcome the path to the Root. Their ultimate goal was to reach the origin of all things, the Root, in order to obtain the truth and successfully return to the present world. Only by accomplishing this could they be considered successful in obtaining the truth.

Throughout the Age of Gods to the present day, nobody had successfully challenged the path to the Root. Some may have attempted to do so, but none of them had been able to leave after entering the Root.

In addition, both of the two Counter Forces, Gaia and Alaya, were determined to prevent any existence from reaching the Root in any form. As a result, the path to the Root was rife with the Heroic Spirits of Alaya and the monsters of Gaia.

Challenging the monsters of Gaia and the army of Heroic Spirits of Alaya with human bodies was almost impossible. To break through the path to the Root, either Gaia and Alaya had to allow it willingly, or one had to possess the power of a Foreign God to forcefully penetrate it.

Of course, there were also anomalies like Manaka who were already connected to the Root since their birth.

Apart from that, anyone who wanted to reach the Root had to go through the path to the Root, which was a suicidal mission.

Therefore, Walachia Night's attempt to reach the Sixth Law was simply wishful thinking.

Those who dared to challenge the path to the Root would have the army of Heroic Spirits and monsters of Gaia released upon them. Just like how they killed the Forest of Einnashe in less than a second, they would kill anyone who tried to cross the path to the Root and scatter their ashes.

And Night of Wallachia was causing Shirou great trouble at this very moment.

As Shirou gazed upon the vast army of Heroic Spirits and Gaia's monstrous creations, sweat trickled down his forehead.

Initially, he had believed the hole to be a mere wonder, perhaps some kind of displacement phenomenon. However, to his surprise, it turned out to be a path leading to the very Root itself!

Unlike Servants, who were mere manifestations of their true selves, these heroes were their original, flesh-and-blood bodies recorded in the Throne of Heroes. And as for the monsters, they were not the weak beasts and familiars, but genuine creatures of Gaia!

When it came to summoning Heroic Spirits, knowing how to perform the ritual was paramount. [The Ritual: Heroic Spirit Summon] was the key to calling forth these formidable beings. Its purpose was to summon seven Heroic Spirits, each representing one of the seven classes, in the form of Grand Servants at the pinnacle of their respective classes. The goal behind the ritual was to safeguard the world from catastrophic disasters that could bring about its annihilation.

[The Ritual: Holy Grail War], which was employed in the Holy Grail War, was a derivative of the [Ritual: Heroic Spirit Summon]. This summoning system was a modified version of the original ritual, designed to be more convenient for humans to use.

The relationship between Servants and Heroic Spirits was akin to that of a clone and its original body. The summoning system created a copy of a Heroic Spirit, resulting in a Servant possessing the abilities and memories of the original. However, despite their shared traits, Servants were not the true and complete entity. They were simply a replication, a mere shadow of the original Heroic Spirit.
