"Are you my Master?"
The light faded, and a clear voice came from the magic circle.
Amidst the flickering light and shadow, a man clad in exquisite golden armor revealed his form.
Image: "Little Sun", Location: "Images/1672626494-100352746-109768310.jpg"
He exudes a strong presence almost constantly, making him impossible for anyone to ignore.
He had pale skin, wore a black bodysuit, and was covered by armor that looked like it was cast in gold, with a golden sun halo floating on each of his shoulders.
The sun ring was covered with a large amount of crimson down, making it look like a bright red cloak at first glance.
Her long, freely growing hair, with its translucent white color, gives her an immaculate appearance.
He seemed to have been through many battles; his gaze was as sharp as a blade, but it softened when he looked at Shirou.
The red stones inlaid on his chest also complemented each other, creating a lustrous and alluring color.
But the most striking thing was the golden armor that seemed to be integrated with the body rather than wrapped around it, radiating a divine glow.
The armor, combined with the man's strikingly handsome face, gave off a feeling that transcended mere beauty.
Shirou's pupils contracted slightly as he looked at Lancer, who was bowing to him, with some surprise.
Karna...?
This could not help but surprise Shirou.
After all, he never expected that he would be able to summon the legendary hero of charity, Karna, the Son of the Sun, without using any relics at all.
Shirou naturally knew his identity; after all, as someone who had watched most of the Fate anime, how could he not know the name "Little Sun"?
Karna, nicknamed "Little Sun," is undoubtedly one of the best-natured Servants.
He accepts everything as a "possibility," making him an extremely tolerant follower.
Although he was the son of the sun god Surya, Karna had a life full of twists and turns, but he didn't mind at all.
Karna generously gave away everything he had to others, even though he himself had nothing.
All the unfair treatment and cruel abuse meant nothing to him; he never resented them, just as those things never touched his heart.
Karna is the kind of hero even the great hero Arjuna would envy; he is truly noble.
He treats all people equally, and at the same time respects the "beauty that is different in everyone's eyes".
In his view, no matter how ordinary a person may be, even if evil seeds may sprout in their heart, as long as they can turn back from their misguided ways, they can still transform into a pure and holy flower.
No matter what happens, no matter how unbelievable it may seem, Karna is able to accept it calmly.
Despite facing much prejudice and difficulty in gaining recognition, Karna's martial prowess and noble character place him firmly among the top ranks of all Servants.
Moreover, for Shirou, being able to summon a Heroic Spirit like Karna, who has a good temper and strong combat power, is simply an incredible stroke of luck.
Could it be that my lucky star is my ex?
Of course, this is because Shirou has a good understanding of Karna.
If other magicians who do not know him well summon him, they will inevitably be disliked by others because of Karna's ability to see through people's true nature and his straightforward way of speaking.
Humans are two-sided. People who maintain good intentions may occasionally have evil thoughts, even if they are only the smallest evil thoughts. On the other hand, people who maintain evil intentions may occasionally have good thoughts, even if they are only the slightest good thoughts.
When Karna directly speaks out the inner thoughts of these people, they become enraged and unreasonable, and may even verbally slander Karna.
Despite being an unparalleled loyal servant, he is disliked not only by his enemies but also by his master because of his taciturn nature.
"So you already know me, Master. It seems there's no need for an introduction."
Karna was somewhat pleased that he could be recognized so easily even in later generations.
"Of course, hero of charity, your legend is known to many even in this later era."
Shirou replied.
"A hero who gives alms... indeed some people have called me that, but that's not true. I'm just acting according to my own right path."
Karna shook his head slightly.
As they spoke, Shirou's gaze was drawn to the golden spear in Karna's hand.
Karna, whose body was bathed in golden light, held a golden spear in his hand.
This object is far longer than Karna is tall; it is so large that it is unimaginable that a human could use it. Its exquisite craftsmanship and design make it a work of art.
This is the treasure that Indra gave him—the "Indestructible Blade"!
During the final battle of the Mahabharata, Indra, the "Thunder God," fearing that Arjuna would die on the battlefield, disguised himself as a beggar and demanded Karna's golden armor.
Karna actually recognized Indra's identity, but still granted his request and gave him the golden armor.
Indra was moved by Karna's noble character and gifted him a divine spear, which is the origin of the god-slaying spear "O Sun, Obey Death (VasaviShakti)".
Legends about Karna flashed through his mind one by one. Shirou looked into Karna's clear eyes and said earnestly.
"Karna, my name is Orihara Shirou, and I am your Master in this world. I promise you that when we defeat other enemies together, I will share the joy of victory with you."
Upon hearing Shirou's words, Karna lowered his body slightly again in a respectful response.
"I hereby pledge that as long as I have a breath left, I will protect you."
"Here, the contract is established."
Chapter Five: The Undying Blade
The night sky was crystal clear, with a crescent moon hanging leisurely in the sky and the Milky Way like a ribbon. Looking up through the gaps in the leaves, the night sky looked like a blue sea.
After completing the ceremony, Shirou raised his right hand and looked at it.
The stigmata on the back of his hand had transformed into sword-shaped Command Seals, with the crimson lines becoming more pronounced.
After doing all this, Shirou stretched.
"Finally done. Now, let me take a look at your attribute values, Karna."
"Please."
Karna nodded.
Next, Shirou checked Karna's attributes.
Class: Lancer
Master: Orihara Shirou
Real name: Karna
Height: 178cm
Weight: XNUM X kg
Strength: B Endurance: B Agility: A Magic: B Luck: D Noble Phantasm: EX
Job skills:
"Anti-magic power": C
Inherent skills:
"The Wisdom of the Poor": C "Riding": B "Uncrowned Martial Arts": B "Magic Release (Flame)": A "Divinity": A
Possess a treasure:
"Sun, become armor": A "Brahma, curse my body": A+ "Sun, submit to death": EX
After reviewing Karna's attributes, Shirou's eyes brightened slightly.
It has to be said that Karna's stats are absolutely gorgeous.
In this Holy Grail War, the only ones who can be compared to him are probably Iskandar and Gilgamesh.
Thinking this, Shirou looked at Karna's strongest Noble Phantasm, "Sun Wheel, submit to death."
An EX-rank Noble Phantasm is undoubtedly the highest-ranking Noble Phantasm.
Karna's most powerful spear, the spear of god-slaying, is powerful enough to completely destroy all "single" existence in the world.
Whether it is a living being, an inanimate object, or any other object, including magical beasts, mythical beasts, divine beasts, humans, shields, armies, cities, barriers, or gods, none of these beings can withstand it.
Only the "world" can contend with it; even "gods" cannot destroy the "world."
Even if everything, including gods, were to perish, the world would still exist.
In other words, protection based on the concept of "world" cannot be universally applied.
Therefore, high-level barrier-type Noble Phantasms such as Achilles' shield Noble Phantasm "Small World Surrounding the Sky" or Saber's sword sheath "Avalon" are the nemesis of this Noble Phantasm.
"It's a bit like 'Ea: Excalibur'..."
Shirou murmured to himself.
Neither Gilgamesh's "EA: Ea" nor Karna's "O Sun, Obey Death" could pose a threat to Saber's scabbard "Avalon," an EX-level independent world.
However, in this Holy Grail War, Kiritsugu Emiya is unlikely to return the scabbard to Saber, and he probably wouldn't have guessed that the scabbard would have such a use.
With a thought flashing through his mind, Shirou turned his gaze to Karna.
"By the way, Karna, you know about the 'True Name Rule' in the Holy Grail War, right?"
“I already knew this information when I was in this world.”
Karna answered immediately.
"Heroic Spirits are all historically renowned figures, but since they are historically documented, they will inevitably have weaknesses. If the enemy learns of these weaknesses, they will develop strategic plans to exploit them. Therefore, the first priority for every Heroic Spirit is to ensure that their true name is not revealed."
Upon hearing his words, Shirou nodded.
"Well, now that you know, that makes things much easier. From now on, I'll call you Lancer when other people are around. Is that alright?"
"According to your wishes."
Karna bowed slightly toward Shirou.
The ancients had so many etiquette rules.
However, Shirou didn't feel particularly unhappy, after all, his Servant was the incredibly good-natured 'Little Sun' Karna.
"Then, let's go somewhere first."
