Miracle Summoner

"Buzz..."

It was unknown how much time had passed, but the White-Walled City eventually dispersed like smoke, dissolving into countless particles and disappearing without a trace.

"Huff... huff... huff..."

Mash, her entire body enveloped in a glowing halo, resembling a golden statue, knelt on the ground, panting heavily with sweat streaming down her face.

Before long, the golden glow dissipated from Mash's body, returning her appearance to normal.

However, her outfit did not revert to its original state. Instead, it seemed to solidify, becoming fixed in its current form.

But that wasn't the most important part.

What mattered most was the aura and mana emanating from Mash. Its scale far exceeded anything she had displayed before.

The Chaldea staff began analyzing and scanning with astonishing speed.

"Mana output increase has stabilized! Observed values are several times higher than before!"

"Spirit Origin values have leveled out! The scale is also several times greater than before!"

"State stabilized! Form stabilized! Event fixed to the current observable mode!"

"Subject confirmed! Re-evaluating the Sub-Servant 'Mash Kyrielight's' Servant rank as — Special A-Class!"

"Without a doubt! These are the stats of a top-tier Servant! No... perhaps even beyond that!"

Reports like these continuously poured in from Chaldea's technical staff, causing many voices to become incredibly excited.

"Stats beyond top-tier Servants?"

Olga Marie couldn't believe her ears.

"That Mash possesses such a level of stats?"

Even Da Vinci was surprised.

"That's... that's fantastic!"

Roman, on the other hand, was utterly overjoyed.

Rozen's figure suddenly appeared beside them, looking at Mash, who was still kneeling and panting heavily. Although her aura and mana were no longer out of control, they carried a tremendous sense of pressure—gentle, but undeniably overwhelming. His eyes lit up at the sight.

With just one glance, Rozen was certain.

Mash had succeeded.

She had awakened the power within her and managed to take control of it. Judging by her current state, she had even unleashed the true power of her Noble Phantasm.

Mash now possessed power surpassing that of a top-tier Servant.

This level of strength was not only the result of the Holy Knight Galahad's contribution but also the growth fueled by Rozen's mana.

Previously, due to Rozen's influence, the surge of power within Mash had spiraled out of control. Now, that power had been completely assimilated into Mash's being, raising her Servant rank to Special A-Class.

What does that mean?

It's simple.

To give an example, Karna is a Special A-Class Servant.

What does that imply?

It means that even if Mash doesn't completely match Karna's level, she is undoubtedly a strategic-level Servant.

In the past, Mash's defense alone reached strategic levels, while her overall combat capabilities were merely tactical—far from strategic.

Now, Mash had leapt over this gap in one stride, becoming a genuine strategic-level Servant. A top-tier Servant. A Special A-Class Servant. In terms of pure defense, she might already be unmatched among all Servants.

And this was without any external support from Rozen.

If Rozen were to provide mana support or enhancements through magic or curses, Mash's power would soar even further!

Without exaggeration, Mash was now truly Rozen's contracted Servant.

If Rozen's guess was correct, the will and consciousness of Galahad within Mash had completely disappeared, leaving behind only the power and Noble Phantasm that had fully merged with her.

Rozen couldn't help but step forward, moving closer to Mash.

"How do you feel? Are you alright now?"

Rozen helped Mash to her feet.

"Huff... huff... I... I'm fine..."

Mash responded with some difficulty, though her voice still carried traces of exhaustion.

Seeing this, Rozen frowned slightly before gripping Mash's hand and channeling his spirit energy, converting it into mana and injecting it into her body.

Receiving Rozen's mana, Mash's breathing gradually steadied.

Mash finally looked at Rozen, her eyes filled with both joy and gratitude.

"Senpai..."

Mash seemed like she wanted to say something.

But Rozen smiled and shook his head.

"If it's thanks you want to give, there's no need," Rozen said. "This achievement is yours alone. I merely assisted you. At most, my role was that of support, not the actual effort."

It was the truth.

As mentioned before, Rozen's role this time was merely to assist and guide Mash in using Threefold Grace. It was Mash herself who successfully utilized the Threefold Grace and, with its power, organized and controlled the chaotic energy within her.

Therefore, this success was entirely the result of Mash's own hard work—a well-deserved reward.

As for Rozen, at most, he deserved credit for 30 to 40% of the effort.

"Now your power won't go out of control anymore, right?" Rozen asked.

"Yes," Mash nodded, her face glowing with joy and gratitude as she said, "Although I'm still not entirely proficient and will need to train to fully utilize it, the feelings of alienation and disconnection I used to sense are completely gone."

Mash paused briefly before continuing.

"And, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but the power I now possess feels not only far stronger than before but also like a natural extension of my own body. It's not yet fully flexible, but compared to the previous sense of detachment, it's completely different."

Hearing this, Rozen was momentarily stunned before suddenly realizing something.

(Could it be that Mash has completely absorbed Galahad's power as her own?)

With that thought, Rozen was elated.

The reason was simple.

Previously, even though Mash could wield Galahad's power, that power still fundamentally belonged to Galahad. It was something granted to her temporarily, not truly her own.

This was why Mash had always felt a sense of detachment.

If humanity were to be saved and human history re-established, Galahad's power, having fulfilled its mission, might have returned to the "Throne."

However, this outcome had now changed.

With Rozen's guidance and the cleansing power of the Three Mystery Enhancement, Mash not only completely controlled her previously chaotic energy but also fully absorbed it as her own.

In other words, this power no longer belonged to Galahad. It had fused entirely into Mash's body and soul, never to leave her again.

This was Mash's greatest achievement!

"Excellent!"

Rozen couldn't help but exclaim in excitement, his mood greatly lifted.

Mash felt the same way.

"Now, I can finally be of real help to Senpai."

Mash rejoiced, her delight evident.

The two shared in each other's joy, the atmosphere becoming charged with emotion.

"It seems I should make myself scarce to avoid intruding here," Bedivere said with a soft smile, silently retreating.

As for Artoria Alter, she had already left without a trace.
