Moonless night, before the altar.

Shinji strikes, and Shiro appears.

"You're here. ”

"I'm coming. ”

"You shouldn't have come. ”

"I'm already here. ”

"It's too late for you to leave. ”

"Why am I leaving?"

"I finally saved my life, do you want to die again?"

"I don't want to die either, it's just that some things are more important than life – I ask you, where is 'she'?"

"She, which she, is there a lot of people who can refer to her. Is it Joan of Arc, is it the knight Artoria, is it Atalanta, is it Semiramis? or—"

A playful smile appeared on the corner of the priest's mouth dressed in black, and the solemn and murderous atmosphere that had been created before was gone.

"That wisp of ghost hiding in the Great Holy Grail and should have died a long time ago?"

"Now that you know, you still ask?" Shinji's eyes were cold, and his body exuded a piercing murderous aura, "Where is Feather Tysa?"

"She's probably in hell, maybe in heaven, but not in this world. ”

"You killed her?" Shinji shook his body, and the blood on his face faded.

"No, it was she who couldn't do enough to snatch control of the Great Holy Grail with me, but she failed and was completely assimilated by the Great Holy Grail. I told her not to get in the way, but she wouldn't listen. ”

"Sure enough, you killed her. ”

"Well, let's just assume that I killed her, so what are you going to do?"

"If you kill her, I will kill you. ”

Shinji opened his full armament belonging to Perseus, with the "Snake Hunting Scythe" in his right hand, the "Athena's Shield" in his left hand, wearing the "Hades Cloak" and stepping on the "Hermes's Feather Shoes". At this moment, his mind seemed to be split in two, half filled with great sorrow for the loss of Phoenixisa, and the other half filled with boundless anger, and if anger could be transformed into substance, then the entire courtyard of the sky would be reduced to ashes.

"With you, it can't be. Shirou glanced at Shinji contemptuously, "There may be some hope for bringing Achilles, Charon, Siegfried, and Artoria with us." ”

"I'm enough. ”

Shirou was disappointed by such an answer.

"It seems that you have been carried away by anger, and you can't even recognize the difference in strength between the enemy and me - forget it, there will always be a few people with bad brains among so many traversers, and it is my fault for having too high expectations of you, so I better kill you as soon as possible and let the Great Holy Grail activate. Oh no, a soul of your quality shouldn't be up to the requirements of the Great Holy Grail, ahhhh

Before he finished complaining, Shinji had already launched an attack, and the starting point was the liberation of the control treasure device.

"Gaze of the Medusa!"

The gorgon, who had killed countless brave men, opened her eyes, and the objects captured by those golden snake eyes were suddenly stained gray - except for the enemy that Shinji wanted to kill urgently.

"Petrified MONOCULUS is really scary, but unfortunately, my pair of mana is A, and it won't be petrified. ”

"Of course I do. ”

As he spoke, Shinji quickly approached, and the snake-hunting scythe slashed directly at Shirou's throat.

Although Mana A can avoid petrification, it is not completely immune to the effect of MONOCULUS, but only weakens petrification to the effect of "heavy pressure", affecting action. Shinji uses this treasure to use this characteristic to seal Shirou's "shrinking ground"!

"It's too cheap for you to become a stone statue or something, I'm going to cut off your head with my own hands!"

The edge of the scythe illuminates Shirou's face, and his expression remains calm, as if he is facing a breeze instead of a blade.

As the scythe was about to touch his skin, Shirou stepped out, his body in an eerie arc, appearing at Shinji's side in a form that almost defied the rules of physics, and then drew his sword from its sheath.

The sword was dazzling, and in the blink of an eye, six knives were slashed, one heavier than the other, and one faster than the other.

Although Shinji adjusted the direction of his shield in time to block the continuous attack, the continuous impact through the sword made him very uncomfortable and had to retreat.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shirou repeated his old trick and once again used that elusive footwork to appear next to Shinji, and slashed seven times in a row.

Shen Er had no choice but to retreat.

Shirou went in again, eight knives in a row.

Shinji continued to retreat, and Shirou pressed closely.

This time, instead of launching a combo from the side, he appeared directly behind Shinji and stabbed him in the back of the unprotected heart.

Because he hadn't recovered from the previous successive slashes, Shinji didn't have time to parry with a shield or a weapon, so he could only deflect his body in a hurry, allowing the sword that stabbed in the back of his heart to pass through his chest.

Because his lungs were pierced, Shinji involuntarily coughed up a mouthful of blood foam, and his eyes were in a trance: "Shrinking the ground?"

"That's right. Shirou maintained a posture of backstabbing and explained neatly, "For the strong man who sublimates his footwork to the level of 'shrinking the ground', the blockade in the conventional sense does not have much effect, and you take it for granted again." ”

"No, with such a big heel, how could I underestimate you. ”

Shinji suddenly let go of his shield and gripped the sword that pierced his chest tightly with his left hand, not caring about the blade cutting through his palm.

"I'm just going to catch you in this way, up!"

With a soft shout, the ancient sword "Qingyun" pierced from above Shen Er's shoulder, and the magic power on the sword flowed, turning into black wind and fire, ready to come out.

"That's what I was going to do, but—"

Seeing this, Shirou nodded slightly, and his wrist flicked.

Shinji suddenly felt that his hand was light, and the Taidao that was firmly stuck with his finger bones was actually directly out of his control.

Shirou, who drew out the sword, shook his wrist and pulled out a piece of wind and fire, colliding with the black wind and fire in the splattered blood flowers.

As a result, Shirou was unharmed and still talking cool words.

"I didn't take it for granted. Why do you think that you can take away the sword of a 'sword master' in this way? Do you really think that such skills as 'empty-handed into the white blade' and 'no sword' are easy to practice? Even if I can't pull it out, I can abandon the sword and not use it? How do you know that I don't have a second knife or other weapons? Even if I don't have other weapons, how do you know if I'm just as good at hand-to-hand combat? Well, only the consciousness of killing me at the cost of self-harm is not bad, but unfortunately there is no consciousness, and nothing else is a castle in the air after all, just a vain. What else can you do with your tattered body now?"

"What to do?"

Shinji lowered his head, as if he was dead.

Just as Shirou was waiting for the next step, the corners of Shinji's mouth suddenly pulled out a hideous arc, and the "Snake Hunting Scythe" in his hand drew an equally thrilling trajectory, slashing directly at Shirou's head.

"Of course it killed you!"
