One Hundred and Seven - Saber's Dream
Although there is still some unwillingness in my heart, on the one hand, because of the guilt of Alice Field, I can't bear to blame the meaning of Emiya Shirou in such a trivial matter, and on the other hand, it is indeed a bit too much to protect the other party every inch in three years
So, after thinking about it for a while, Saber finally agreed to Emiya's compromise.
Seeing that he had finally gotten the other party's consent, Emiya Shirou was finally relieved.
Without Rin Tosaka's assistance, it is not easy to successfully avoid the great crisis of mental breakdown!
At the end of the negotiation, the whole body seemed to be out of strength. Emiya Shirou looked down at his watch, but was shocked to realize that it was almost four o'clock in the evening. In order to protect the health of the skin companion (mainly the other party's), after exchanging a few words with Saber, Emiya Shirou took her along the road back to his Japanese room.
After carefully explaining where the two were sleeping, in order to quickly let each other run to sleep, Emiya Shirou simply took the lead in getting into his bed, and then instantly put on a sleeping posture.
Seeing that Shirou Emiya (apparently) had indeed fallen asleep, Saber cautiously walked into the next room so as not to disturb him any longer, and closed the sliding door that was the only one separating the two rooms.
Maybe it's because you're tired? Although he was just pretending to be asleep at first, he unconsciously took over Emiya Shirou's head. It wasn't long after Saber pulled the door on and out of the door that Shirou Emiya literally fell asleep.
It was a dream that had not been seen in a long time. A dream of a king galloping on the grassland
"Here?"
A cool breeze blew and woke up the king who had already fallen asleep.
Saber slowly opened his eyes, only to find himself in a place that had changed from the room next to Emiya Shirou to the atrium of the Emiya Mansion at some point, and all the pillows and quilts were gone.
"An enemy attack is impossible. Even though I was asleep, the slightest sound or magic fluctuation was enough to wake me up. It's impossible to move me here without alarming me. In other words, is it the flow of advanced illusions?"
Although he was slightly taken aback when he woke up, Saber immediately regained consciousness due to the combat experience he had cultivated over time.
Since even she, who has a high resistance to magic, has fallen into the other party's way without noticing, then the scene of Emiya Shirou can be imagined.
The first goal now is to confirm the safety of Emiya Shirou.
"It's impossible to destroy this place with magic! Not to mention magic, can't even move your body?!!"
Just as Saber wanted to use his magic to take out his sword, he was suddenly shocked to find that the magic in his body could not be moved at all. I was shocked and wanted to move my body, but then I found that no matter how my brain gave orders, my body was still immovable!
"Abominable"
Unable to function her magic powers, she was also unable to move her body, in other words, in this illusion, she had become a lamb to the slaughter under the enemy's sword.
At this point, Saber's usual calmness had vanished without a trace, replaced by endless anxiety and remorse.
"I just made a promise to protect him."
If he could move his body, Saber must have bitten his lip to bleed by now, right?
He said he wanted to protect the other party, but he couldn't do anything
Obviously, he just said that he wanted to become the storage of the other party, but he broke the appointment again in less than a day
Dereliction of duty coupled with incompetence.
This is even more uncomfortable for Saber, who admires chivalry, than killing her directly!
"Huh?"
Suddenly, the sound of a clash of steel caught Saber's attention.
Even though he couldn't move his body, even though he couldn't move his gaze, it did pull Saber back to reality from his guilt.
Just as she was trying to find out what had happened, the next moment, a black figure had smashed through the window in the middle and rolled in front of Saber
"That's Shirou?!!"
Although for unknown reasons, the position above the other party's neck is all blurred, but, for no reason, the moment he saw that person, Saber subconsciously judged him to be Emiya Shirou.
What is the reason? It's clear that the other party's height doesn't match the impression, and the other party's skin color doesn't match the impression, but when he saw the other party crashing out of the window, he really felt that the reason for "the other party is Emiya Shirou", maybe even Saber himself couldn't tell.
"I wonder why Shirou looks so wolfy? It's blood?!! Could it be an enemy attack?!!"
Seeing the boy's panicked demeanor, Saber couldn't help but have a deep doubt in his heart. However, when her gaze touched the bright red blood stain on the boy's chest, the doubt in her heart instantly turned into anger.
Obviously in his own home, but he rushed to break through the window and escaped with his injuries, what other reason can explain this phenomenon other than the enemy attack?
Seeing that the deed master was attacked, even though he knew that this was not reality, Saber still tried his best to move his body and rush forward to help the attacked Emiya Shirou.
Unfortunately, even with her best efforts, her whole body remained motionless as if she had been held in place by cement.
Just as Saber was in a hurry, he saw the boy who landed on the ground gritted his teeth violently, and then swung the roll-like object in his hand behind him with all his might. At the same time, a red light rushed out from the middle, and the tip of the light stabbed the roll-shaped object in the boy's hand.
"Spears? In other words, is it Lancer?!"
With excellent dynamic vision, Saber was able to see the full extent of the light when it collided with a roll-like object.
It was a spear that exuded an ominous aura.
Since he is holding a spear, the identity of the other party is about to be revealed. There is no doubt that the enemy is Lancer's Heroic Spirit.
However, while the old problems were solved, new ones popped up in Saber's mind.
Generally speaking, if it is an illusion, unless the caster's strength is really much greater than that of the caster, it is impossible to achieve the dual confinement of magic and flesh at the same time. However, this situation did occur, and it appeared to her in her own body. It was obviously the least wrong, and Saber couldn't think of anyone better than her in her own form.
Moreover, even if you take 10,000 steps back, assuming that someone can really be far superior to her who came down with her body, since she has achieved the double imprisonment of magic and body, then it is theoretically only easy to make up for her who can't move. But, let alone ending her life, in retrospect, Saber didn't even notice the slightest hint of malice from now on. The current situation was not so much trying to trap her, but simply trying to show her these images.
These two mysteries alone have already made Saber's previous speculations flawed. What's more, in addition to this, there is a big question that it is a fantasy, but the situation in front of you is unexpectedly real, is this really an illusion?
"When-!!!"
Suddenly, a loud bang forced Saber back to reality from his musings.
By the time Saber returned his attention to the spotlight again, the situation had taken a turn for the worse.
At some point, the boy was forced to the side of the warehouse, and behind him, the heavy door of the warehouse had been smashed open by a man with a gun.
Since a man is a heroic spirit, such a thing as hitting the gate is naturally just an idle matter. What really cares about Saber is the boy's current situation.
The crimson magic spear pressed against the heart of the young man who was sitting on the ground, and it was about to stab forward in the next moment.
There is no doubt that the teenager is now in danger of his life. However, at the same time, whether it was Saber or the boy himself, both of them knew very well that with the strength of the boy, it would be absolutely impossible to escape from the attack of the heroic spirit of the gun.
In other words, in the next moment, the boy is about to usher in his own death.
Originally, it was supposed to be like this.
"That's !!"
Just as the man stabbed the spear forward, with the sound of splitting the air, a weapon suddenly swung at the man's spear from the side, and at the last moment, the deadly spear was opened.
Looking at the development of the situation in front of him, Saber, who was still fixed in place, couldn't help but exclaim.
In the light of the moon, she saw a girl standing in front of the boy in the inner side of the warehouse, which was exactly the same as her in appearance and dress.
"Is that me?"
Regardless of the armor on the girl's body and the weapons in her hands, Saber is not unfamiliar.
Because, that's her conceptual armament and saber!
Saber didn't think anyone other than herself could wear this style of armor and hold a sword with the Wind King's enchantment attached. The question is, why is "she" standing in the image?
You must know that the so-called Heroic Spirits are all "only" beings, and now she is indeed standing here!
"Could it be that this is Shirou's memory?"
Suddenly, a bold hypothesis popped into Saber's mind.
Then, in the next split, all the doubts are concatenated!
Why, with her strength, is she completely unaware of the existence of the enemy? It is because there is no so-called enemy from beginning to end.
Why is she still trapped in the double confinement of magic and flesh with her strength? That's because it's someone else's memory, and as a bystander, she's like she's on another parallel line, with only the right to see, but not the right to move.
"While I've heard that the memories of the deed owner are shared with the Heroic Spirit who signed the contract, why did I appear in Shirou's memory?"
The old doubts were swept away with negative feelings such as anxiety, but the new doubts lingered in Saber's heart.
With a stricter question than before, Saber silently turned his attention back to watching the situation unfold in front of him
