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

In the midst of the loud shouts, the magic power of the whole body was concentrated in his hands, and the cherry petals came from all directions, instantly concentrating in the palm of Emiya Shirou's hand, turning into a seven-sided giant shield, blocking the golden torrent.

In the middle of the sword and shield, there is an incomparably dazzling brilliance.

The pink glow collided with the brilliance of the holy sword, squeezed, and then vanished.

After being infused with the power of God, the Seven Rings of the Blazing Sky, which could only be able to block the B+-level Noble Phantasm, should have turned into ashes in an instant in front of the A+-rank Noble Phantasm, can now compete with the projected Oath and Victory Sword!

Even if the treasure itself is inferior, with its own Wutao magic power as the backing, it can have an extranormal level of play Emiya Shirou At this moment, it is the body that shows this truth!

"Keller—"

It's just that no amount of magic can be injected.

With a slight sound, a small crack quietly appeared on the first piece of flower as if it were breaking glass, and instantly expanded into a gap, and then with a sound of Keller, it tore a whole shield and turned it into pieces!

One of the seven shields has gone! And the other six shields gradually appeared deadly cracks!

“”

Looking at the shield that was about to collapse in his hand, there was no trace of panic on Emiya Shirou's face.

Or had he already guessed that this would be the case?

The shield in his hand gradually disintegrated under the strong light, and finally dissolved into nothingness, completely disappearing into the air.

And then

With a hint of a smile, Emiya Shirou was overwhelmed by the golden torrent

As the magic power used by the two of them on the inherent enchantment was exhausted, the crimson world turned into pieces and slowly scattered to the ground in the air.

"A beautiful sword."

The bright light gradually dissipated, and with a heartfelt compliment, Emiya Shirou's figure was revealed intact.

However, if it is said to be intact, I'm afraid it's a language disease, right? In fact, Emiya Shirou's body is just not missing an arm, the upper body is still connected to the lower body, and the two legs are still connected to the body.

Breaking through the seven-petaled shield of the cherry color, and then shattering the invisible wall of wind as the protector of the god of war, and finally, tearing the brilliance of the holy sword of the holy relic, which is known for its outstanding defensive power, and slashing at the body of Emiya Shirou!

Even if it is the body of a god, it is impossible to eat a blow of the holy sword head-on and still be unharmed.

The white kimono, which had been reverted to its original state due to the collapse of the conceptual armament, had long since been dyed a bright red deeper than the sacred cloth. A bone-deep hole was cut on his body, and Emiya Shirou coughed lightly and spat out a large mouthful of blood.

For the first time since the beginning of the Holy Grail War, he had been so devastated!

“”

In front of the Sword of Oath, the Seven Rings, known as one of the strongest defensive treasures, are actually no different from papier-mâché. For those who have owned both of these treasures, this is a truth that they already understand from the beginning.

Even if a mortal soldier is an ordinary soldier in an extraordinary way, it will be difficult to compete with Shenfeng after all. With the strength of Shirou Emiya, it is impossible not to know this.

So why, exactly?

Why, even though she had the ability to dodge, and knew that it was impossible to block this blow, she still had to stand here and eat the brilliance of this holy sword head-on as she said?

"Deflated? If that's not enough, chop it again. It's good to cut here this time. With a slight gesture on his chest, Emiya Shirou smiled like a nobody, "Well, although I want to try not to be defensive." But with my current injuries, if I did, I would be dead. Thank you for your understanding. ”

"What?"

“?”

"What the hell are you doing?!!!

The fatigue that came from the exhaustion of the magic was as if there was never zài.

Remorse and hatred are intertwined, and then gradually overshadowing the original shadow. The emotion of breaking the embankment turned into a powerful roar, and from Archer's mouth, "Even if you are a heroic spirit, you can't block the sword of victory of the oath head-on, right?!" Look at what you've become now?!! Such a miserable situation! Are you committing suicide?!"

"Ahh Without denying it, Emiya Shirou nodded.

“”

Then, in exchange for another piece of silence.

Why on earth did he do this? She already knew this kind of thing, because she was him.

"I don't have the right to choose whether you show up or not. By the time I became aware of your existence, you had taken my place in the world. Apologetic, Emiya Shirou smiled lightly, "I'm sorry." Leaving you with something that shouldn't have been carried by you. ”

The body was trembling, and reason was about to collapse.

I'm sorry? Isn't that right, why does this guy have to apologize?

"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have to suffer this."

The last remaining ability to think reverberated in Archer's brain.

No, isn't it, why carry the responsibility on your back?

Didn't you just say it yourself? You don't even know about it, and you don't have a choice! So, why are you apologizing to me?

"I'm sorry, but since this life is still a little useful, can I store it here first?"

“”

Then she finally understood.

Why, from the moment she saw Emiya Shirou, she hated him so much.

Is it because she's just a replacement for him? Is it because she is just a shadow heroic spirit without "herself"?

No, it's just a bonus that I found out later.

The answer itself was on a deeper level, straight into her heart.

She was scared.

She was afraid that one day, even the strongest emotion of "self", the hatred that could best prove the existence of "self-will", would gradually disappear.

As a shadow spirit modeled after her ontology, if even the hatred that came from her own feelings disappeared, then what was left of her?

From the initial inexplicability, to the beginning to find some clues, and now finally unveiling the whole picture. Then, the fear also came true.

She couldn't hate Emiya Shirou anymore.

She doesn't have that qualification anymore.

"This Holy Grail War must be ended by me, and according to my agreement with the Suppressive Force, after this Holy Grail War, whether you or Saber, all the Heroic Spirits who participated in the battle, their bodies will be released back to the present world." As if he had seen through Archer's thoughts, Emiya Shirou said softly, "In other words, you are you." You are Archer, the hero of the archers. It's no longer a stand-in for anyone. We have the same starting point, however, we will go our separate ways halfway through. You are independent of my being. This is the only one, I hope you don't forget jì. ”

"Hypocrite, I hate you."

He turned his back to Emiya Shirou, but only to keep him from seeing his face.

"From now on, from the safety of Rin and Sakura, I don't care about anything." The voice is still cold, but it has lost the domineering spirit that it had when he first met Rin Tosaka. With his slightly trembling shoulders betraying his mood at the moment, Archer shouted, "From now on, don't let me see you again!"

"At least if you're in distress, please be generous." Emiya Shirou muttered in a low voice.

“”

I heard it clearly, but I didn't answer.

The red trench coat was raised, and in the next moment, Archer's figure had disappeared in place

Facing the direction in which Archer had disappeared, Emiya Shirou slowly closed his eyes and sat down quietly.

For a long time, as if to confirm, Emiya Shirou said softly.

"Has it been there since the beginning?"

Then, in the next instant, the position beside him suddenly twisted.

The original no, false scenery was swept into the whirlpool that appeared out of thin air and disappeared. The real scenery was gradually revealed, and in the blink of an eye, a silver-haired girl wearing the same moon-white kimono as Emiya Shirou, but with crimson embroidery on the kimono like a rushing flame, appeared silently.

"If she really dared to make another move just now," did not answer Emiya Shirou's question. In the bright pupils of the past, there is now infinite murderous intent. On her pretty cheeks, with a rage that Emiya Shirou had never seen before, the silver-haired girl said coldly, "Even if I will be resented by you, I will kill her." ”

"It's better not to do that." Feeling the biting chill coming from the silver-haired girl, knowing that she wasn't joking, Emiya Shirou sighed softly, "I owe her enough."

"Shirou, we respect your position, so we promise you that we will not interfere in this ceremony. But please don't forget jì, there is a bottom line. Closing her eyes slightly, the silver-haired girl frowned and said in an irrefutable voice, "As far as you are concerned, it is true that you may value the feelings of others more than yourself, but in my heart, your life is completely incomparable to that woman just now. If you were to put the two on the scale, no matter how many times you asked me, I could only say sorry, I wouldn't have to respect your decision and watch you lose your life in vain!"

"It's a familiar conversation." For the first time since I met the silver-haired girl, I was stared at by the other party's face like frost. I couldn't help but think of what the other party said when he was intimidated by an important girl with a knife in the hospital a few years ago, Emiya Shirou shook his head with a wry smile.

On the one hand, he cherishes the principles of others, and on the other hand, others cherish his determination, which is not a choice between two or the other.

"Xiaoxue, are you free tonight?"

"I'm not going to take back what I just said, what did you just say?"

"I mean, with an injury like this, there's no way I'm going to go home, right?" After a pause, Emiya Shirou leaned back, looked at Concubine Gong Xue's cheeks with three points of confusion, and asked, "So, can you accompany me to Yi Ai's shop for a few drinks tonight?" By the way, let's talk about my business as well. ”

P.S.1: Second update this week. Anyway, I suddenly began to miss the days when I could speak, I was dragged down by other people's infection and the original rhinitis, my throat was inflamed, and I didn't speak for almost a whole week after the follow-up.
