The trees were blown away by the wind in the fierce battle, and under the clash of the two swords and the great sword, the huge impact made a collision with nature, changing the shape of the earth. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's inconceivable that the weapon that has just been projected out is as easy as if it had been practiced since childhood—however, the gap in strength is not enough to make up for it.

Shirou crossed his sword in both hands to resist the attack, successfully blocking the giant's attack, and the strong impact of the collision with Berserker instantly spread throughout his body. Even [Xiugus] couldn't offset all the damage, and his body was impacted enough to collapse to the ground.

(Woo...... ）

The mind is like it is about to explode, the internal organs are like it is about to be cracked, and the bones are like it is about to be shattered. I feel dizzy just by standing, and every step I take seems to slip through the soles of my feet...... It's not just internal injuries, it's the result of barely using magic and going head-to-head with Berserker.

(Does projection alone already have such a load on the body......?) ）

However, the usual penance began to work, the nerves tightened to the limit, and adrenaline was secreted. At this moment when he would be killed by Berserker if he missed, Shirou made an extraordinary move despite the wailing of his body.

"Go away, Elijah!"

Shirou shouted as he unleashed a whirling slash and struck from below. This is the use of knife techniques to use the strength of the boxing technique, the knife light is like a string, depicting two gorgeous trajectories in front and back.

If it is an ordinary enemy, this kind of quick counterattack can easily make the opponent cut off his head without even having room to think - in a confrontation with a cold weapon, it is often such a surprise blow that determines the outcome of the battle.

However, when it comes to the experience of sword intersecting, the great hero Hercules is far more than Shirou. In mythology, he is not only a hero who hunts many monsters, but also learns various martial arts from the centaur sage Charon.

“？！”

Fighting back in surprise, Berserker raised his eyebrows very humanely. Although he lost his mind, his instincts warned that this was a different attack than the black key that he didn't need to defend against, and Berserker didn't block it with his greatsword, but bent down to dodge.

Although it is said to have lost his mind, he still retains such a terrifying reaction speed...... It is truly the strongest heroic spirit worthy of the name.

Without stopping, Shirou took advantage of the maneuver to launch a second slash - the essence of the second sword flow is to launch successive attacks in a very short time gap. Originally, this was a perfect technique that required long-term study of the second sword to learn, but Shirou had already understood these two weapons when he picked them up in his hands.

However, this time Berserker was able to dodge. At the moment of bending, the black giant rolled forward with the unimaginable agility of this body, and then swung his great sword horizontally, straight to Shirou's defenseless right side.

Shirou, who was dodging by Berserker, smashes the trunk of a nearby tree with the back of his knife for a split second, causing the trajectory of his body to change and Berserker's attack misses.

"Uh......h Big brother, you're so annoying! Hindering people again!! Berserker, kill him! ”

The two staggered for a moment, then turned around and swung their swords at each other. The intersecting weapons burst into flames, scattering sparks that defied the usual laws of physics, and the fierce explosion of sword clashes filled the forest.

It's like a mythical battle - Illya and Rin can't intervene or look away, all they can do is stare at the battle in front of them.

A human who has been practicing martial arts for ten years, and a heroic spirit who once reached the pinnacle of martial arts, but only has his intuition left because of his madness, it is unbelievable that the battle has fallen into a stalemate for a while.

After a few seconds, an exceptionally loud explosion sounded, and both sides opened up at the same time.

…… Shirou, that guy, can even tie with Berserker? Rin was surprised as he glanced at both sides—and suddenly felt cold in his heart.

The outcome is clear.

Berserker had several blood marks on his body, and blood could be faintly seen. Shirou's situation looks much worse, though.

(This...... It's not Berserker's full strength. ）

Just standing still, he was constantly panting for breath due to lack of oxygen, and his shoulders couldn't stop shaking, and Shirou had to admit that it was a miracle that he could resist the opponent for several rounds.

After a few seconds of confrontation, almost all the nose and bones of the whole body were damaged, the limbs seemed to be about to crack open, the heart was beating quite violently, and many blood vessels were ruptured. The magic circuit is unprecedentedly intense, as if there is an electrically formed snake, bouncing unscrupulously in the body. With the consciousness of dying together, you can only hit the opponent's vital point once at most, but this is not enough to kill the opponent.

(Sure enough, it's not enough to defeat the Heroic Spirit...... What the hell is Caster ...... ）

The time of the battle is counted down in seconds, and Shirou is about to fall into a point where he is exhausted and has no power to fight back, and the possibility of winning is zero.

"—Shirou."

Facing Shirou's back, Illya bit her lower lip and looked sadly, sadness tormenting her heart.

Looking at the boy who was covered in blood in front of her and could leave this world at any time, the girl's heart seemed to be grabbed by something and she forgot her previous sadness.

Shirou can't be killed because of this, if he dies in front of his eyes, he may collapse and die.

She had to fight, she couldn't just hide behind others, she couldn't just stand by and watch, she tried her best to muster all her courage......

At this time......

-- This is the third time, and when a helpless crisis comes head-on, it is as if the body and brain are about to flip a switch.

I don't know when, the feeling of floating in a dream surrounds the girl's whole body again.

A faint whisper echoed directly in Illya's mind.

'You know what to do......

- I know?

'Observe, think, act......'

- What is this?

'You can do it if you want to......

- I want to ......

'This is your destined future, the Holy Grail is your ......'

- The Holy Grail? But......

'It's the Holy Grail choice, and you're going to win......

The soft voice was full of tenderness and familiarity, and Elijah couldn't help but trust it completely.

'Hurry, hurry, and at that time, I can meet you again......

The gears of fate began to bite, and now they were speeding up and turning bravely with the goal of the day of completion.

'Come to me, my beloved daughter......

The emotions that were placed in the darkness began to swell again for the sake of the person they loved deeply, and the desires that had been silent for ten years came in endlessly.

—Illyasfil. ’

All that's left is for the day of the reunion.
