Sixty-Nine - The brilliance of the holy sword

"Are you underestimating me?"

How long has it been since entering this crimson iron field?

Since the beginning of the war, Emiya Shirou has been retreating.

Whether it is standing from the side or blocking it head-on, the steps of retreat do not change, but it is not because Archer's slash really contains such great power, but simply because he is afraid that the hard shock will hurt the opponent's arm, so he constantly retreats as a compromise and discharges the force invisibly.

The slash that was swung out didn't know that there were thousands of lines of defense for Emiya Shirou, but it was still as steady as Mount Tai's moves, and it didn't leak. The hand holding the blade of the sword, because of the excessive force, the green tendons appeared, and Archer shouted to the Emiya Shirou in an almost roaring voice, "Only defend and not attack, are you pitying me?!!"

The reason for the rage is not that he can't shake Emiya Shirou's defense at all. On the other hand, long before the war began, Archer had already understood that he could not pose a threat to Emiya Shirou in a white-knuckle battle.

After all, that's the one who can suppress Lancer in close combat!

It is no secret that the huge difference in strength has been there since the beginning, and it should even be said that this battle was provoked from the very beginning with a little suicidal nature.

Is the difference in strength a problem?

That's just because your life doesn't matter anymore.

Since his own existence zài was false from the beginning.

Since even if he doesn't do anything, the Emiya Shirou in front of him will protect Rin Tosaka and them and win this Holy Grail War.

so

Responsibilities that they have on their shoulders

The responsibilities that come with being a heroic soul no longer exist.

Now that the mission is over, it is better to take a gamble to vent your anger or give up on yourself, and concentrate on your remaining will, as if you want to prove yourself, and challenge an opponent who you know is impossible to defeat.

The one who asks for it will only die.

Doing it vigorously, and then, at the end, laughing at his own miserable situation with cheap comfort like "I've done my best", all the thoughts in Archer's mind are just as simple as that!

However, Emiya Shirou ruthlessly shattered even her last shred of desire, as if she wanted to defend her last self-esteem! Even begging for death is not allowed, and her right to choose, just like she was born in the world, does not exist from beginning to end, which is how can she endure it?!!

"Pity? Although I want to say that it is "really an exaggeration", in terms of results, it is the same. ”

Regardless of which statement is chosen, there is only one fact depicted, that is, Emiya Shirou did not do his best in the battle at all.

When the other party gambles on their own will, they take care of the other party from beginning to end to fight, even if they are hated, it is inevitable, right?

But for Emiya Shirou, that's enough.

As long as the other party can still stand here unscathed, for him, it is already better than a qiē.

Is it pity or guilt? Or is it sympathy?

No, these are just adjectives after the addition of subjective consciousness.

If you do something wrong, you should apologize.

Harm to convenience should be compensated for this.

It's so simple that no one would say it's wrong.

Only in this way is it right. From beginning to end, there is no pity or guilt at all.

It's purer, it's more pure, it's just a principle of being human.

I don't have the luxury of asking the other party to forgive what I want, it's just that the other party can live. Get out of the shackles and live as an ordinary person.

For this reason, even if you trample on the other party's self-esteem, you don't hesitate to be hated even more by the other party.

What is also to be implemented here is the lifelong faith and will of a man named Emiya Shirou.

"Abominable !!"

The swing of another blow and the flight away are the functions called sanity.

Regardless of the size of his flaws, Archer put his hands down, and then pressed down and approached. As the pairs of weapons fell in mid-air, their whole bodies spun violently, and under the right foot, which was the axis of gravity, the scorched earth that was rubbing violently let out a mournful roar, and a beautiful roundabout kick had exploded towards the face of Shirou Emiya with the strength of his whole body!

“!!!”

In the middle of the drama, how reckless is it to throw away his own weapon and use such a big move?

At the moment of rotation, almost the whole body is empty! Not to mention Emiya Shirou, who is known for his speed, even Saber, who is inferior to him, will seize this opportunity to cut Archer in the waist, or leave some fatal heavy blows, it will not be difficult.

It's just that Emiya Shirou, of course, won't do this.

The surprise of that reckless act was only for a moment. Emiya Shirou decisively discarded the knife with Archer, crossed his hands into a cross to protect the front door, and then took the blow head-on, and at the same time, he had to retreat sharply under his feet in order to minimize the shock.

Because of this, the flying kick that might not be able to kick Emiya Shirou with even one step has now become more than double! By the time Emiya Shirou stood firm, he was already more than ten steps away!

"Bastard"

If you don't fight back or scold, it's like a sandbag that gets angry, and the other party's plan is probably not far from here.

With a hint of white air, Archer glared angrily at Emiya Shirou in front of him, but his body was already standing in place like iron, and he didn't move any further.

I have to say that Emiya Shirou's approach is really effective.

The onslaught has been fought for so long for a period of time, and it is not only his own body that has been discharged, but more importantly, the hatred in his heart.

To be honest, Emiya Shirou has no obligation to take care of her. However, he did it anyway.

The meaningless, disgustingly good heart is just like the old self in my memory.

Even if I know that it is only false, it is precisely because I am one that I know so sincerely how sincere this people-first emotion is.

It does not contain the slightest impurity, and the purest kindness makes people hate it at the same time, but it also makes people hateful.

"It's not over yet!!"

Hoarse roar, I don't know if the object is the person in front of me, or the emotion that has gradually become uncontrollable.

Drum up even the last trace of magic power in the body, the magic power that has been fought so far, under the correction of the suppression force, mobilized them with all the strength of the whole body.

The magic that squeezed the air turned into particles of light visible to the naked eye and converged in his hand, and the golden holy sword that shimmered with dazzling brilliance gradually took shape in Archer's hand, rolling up countless dust.

"Since you like defensive warfare," he shouted, as if he was struggling with his dissipating fighting spirit, Archer raised his sword in both hands, took a resolute step forward, and then swung out fiercely, "Then give me a good stop for this sword!!

The golden sword swung down, and the light gathered into a beam, and then turned into an invincible torrent of light, and the whole process was only a moment.

Relentlessly grinding over the cracked terracotta, the roar of a storm of magical power, and the dazzling brilliance that turned a piece of dust into dust, the brilliant light had approached the body of Emiya Shirou, and it was about to drown him!

"Then do as you wish."

In an instant, all the voices seemed to disappear, and only the not-so-loud answer remained between heaven and earth.

In the end, Archer's eyes were greeted by a face with a helpless and bitter smile, but with great determination.

"Rho-Aias (Seven Rings of Blazing Heaven)" !!!

And then in the next instant.

With a loud shout, the true name of the treasure was liberated, and the magic power skyrocketed, and the cherry colored shield that had blocked Lancer's full force was formed in the golden light, and then, head-on, resisted the torrent that shattered a qiē
