Chapter 32: Heavy Ideals
Inside the Ryudong Temple
"Whoosh, swish, swish~~~~~~" A powerful stream of magic passed by Archer.
"This female fox seems to have saved a lot of magic power~~~~~~~"
"Bang~~~Whoosh~~~~," Archer dodged and ran in the direction of the mountain gate.
"Whoosh-boom!" A stream of mana swept by, blocking Archer's path.
"Do you think you'll be able to escape?" Caster has a chance to win.
"Uh......" Emiya, who had been beaten with a shot, got up again.
"Whoosh~~~" Caster looked back, and a circular magic circle was aimed at him.
"Huh~~~That idiot~~~~" Archer scolded the street angrily.
"Oops!" Emiya also realized that something was wrong.
"Whoosh-boom!" Another shot was fired up where Emiya stood.
"Hmph~~~~~~~" Caster smiled.
"Let me go! Idiot! What the hell are you thinking? Emiya shouted.
"I don't care about you~~~ When you say this, I feel like I'm stupid and hopeless, idiot~~~" Archer sarcastically.
"Idiots? I said~~~ You know that you are an idiot, and you still have the face to say that others are idiots? You idiot! Emiya continued to shout.
"Eh~~~~ Are you a child! Idiotic and childish, it's hopeless! But at least don't be idiotic and childish~~~ stupid!! "Archer is going mad.
"What do you say! You're ......" Emiya was in the middle of speaking, when Caster's magic cannon "whoosh~" came over.
"Whoosh - boom!" Archer dragged Emiya around to dodge Caster's magic cannon.
"Enough! Put me down! I can handle it myself!! Emiya was still yelling.
"Really~~~~~"
"Bang~~" Archer kicked Emiya aside.
"You bastard......" Emiya was kicked, making him even more upset.
"Huh~~~" Emiya, who raised his head, saw Archer who was fixed aside by magic.
"How does it feel~~~~Archer~~~~ Even if you are one of the three horsemen, you will not be able to move if the entire space is fixed~~~ It seems that the victory has been decided~~~" Caster had a triumphant smile on his face.
"Although I don't know where you are a hero yet~~~, but we are going to say goodbye forever~~~"
Archer's mouth moved.
"What are you talking about~~~Archer~~~ If you want to beg for mercy~~~ I'll listen to ......"
"Idiot! I'm reminding you to get out of the way! Caster!! ”
"Whoosh~~~~" Two knives flew towards Caster.
"Dang!" Caster struck the knife with his wand, but at the same time Archer broke through the confinement!
"Humph!" "Whoosh~~~~" Several magic cannons were fired at Archer.
Archer, who was dodging, finally changed his weapon to a large bow.
"Crunch...... Bite! A spiral-shaped arrow was attached to the bow.
"I,am,the,bone,of,my,sword (I am the bone of the sword)"
"Whew~~~~" A large amount of mana poured into Archer.
“Caladbolg! (Pseudo-Spiral Sword)"
"Whoosh——! Spiral arrows shot out.
"Buzz!" Caster hurriedly deployed the magic circle defense.
"Boom-whoosh!" The arrows pierced through the magic array and headed straight into the sky.
"Hiss~~~~~~~~" Smoke rises from the blackened ground, and a smell of burnt heat spreads.
“Archer…… Why didn't you kill me? Caster, who had also been hit by the arrow, was covered in bruises.
"Didn't I say to point out a trick to try~~~~"
"So you're not going to kill me?" Caster repairs the cosmetic injury.
"Because my purpose is for this man, my principle is to avoid needless fights." Archer looked like he didn't care about himself.
"Ahhahahaha, like this~~~~ means that you are the same kind of people?" Caster laughed.
"Huh?" X2
"The kid over there can't forgive a Servant like me who feeds on ordinary people~~~~ and you don't like senseless killing~~~ Look at it~~~ Isn't it exactly the same~~~~~"
"Who's like that!" Emiya was greatly opposed.
"I feel the same way, and although I admit to being a pacifist, we are fundamentally different!" Archer's rational rebuttal.
"What a pacifist~~~ I haven't forgotten that you want to ...... Saber and Berserker together"
"We weren't in a relationship at the time, you couldn't have tried to save everyone you could see, wouldn't you even be able to defeat Berserker!"
"Ahahahaha, I like it very much, your strength and way of doing things are rare in the world, join forces with me~~~~ I'm ready to end this war!" Caster has changed the way of communication that was based on force.
"I refuse! I'm not going to join forces with a guy like you! "How can a righteous partner join forces with a wicked man.
"Hey! Archer~~~~ You ......" Seeing that Archer was about to agree, Emiya was anxious.
"I refuse." Archer made a judgment after thinking twice.
"Your camp is still lacking in strength, and no matter how much you expand your power, you can't match Berserker alone, and this condition is not enough for me to cooperate with you."
"So~~~~~ does that mean the negotiation failed?"
"That's right."
"Also, I'll be here on my own initiative, not on the orders of the Master. So I have no reason to kill you, and today is a draw, so let's end the fight. Archer calmly uttered the unexpected ending.
"Hey!" Emiya was not happy again.
"It's really surprising~~~ Your master used to track me, right? But you're going to let me go now? Caster was also surprised.
"Ah~~~ No matter how many people you want to kill here, it has nothing to do with me." Archer looked like he didn't care about himself.
"Oops~~~ What a cruel man."
"Whoosh~~~~~", and Caster flew away.
“Archer…… Why did you let Caster go? "Emiya's heart is wounded.
"Even if I beat her here, I'm sure she'll get away with it right away." Archer analyzed rationally.
"If you want to defeat Caster, you must first defeat her Master."
"However, the events that happened in the city were all good deeds done by her! If she is not stopped, more people will die! "Based on moral judgment, Emiya is right.
"I wish she could continue, and that Caster would draw life from the people and use that power to take down Berserker. All we have to do is defeat Caster after that. "Archer's judgment based on victory cannot be said to be wrong.
"Tosaka would never have taken such a course." Emiya retorted.
"yes, that's why I hope Caster can complete her plan soon. Although it is not known how many people will die as a result, human beings will inevitably die in the end, and the result will be the same no matter who kills them by any means. Archer continued to talk to himself.
"Caster is also a little merciful, and it is better to take his life along with it. If all the people in the city were dead, it would be much easier to fight. ”
"You bastard!" This must not be endured.
"Aren't we in a partnership?" Archer asked rhetorically.
"What a joke! I'm not like you!! I will never let the people around me die in vain for the sake of victory, for the sake of results!! Emiya yelled.
"I'm the same, Emiya Shirou. But I can't save everyone's lives. If Caster had received the Holy Grail, disaster would not only behave on the city. If we don't win, we will only increase our sacrifices. In that case, it would only be possible to make the people of the city victims. If this reduces casualties, wouldn't it be the same as your approach? Archer was still talking to himself.
To save one person is to abandon another.
"You said you didn't want to involve innocent people, so you should recognize the reality. If you don't want to kill anyone, no one can save you......"
"......Shh
"Are you going to chase Caster?" Archer stopped Emiya.
"I finally saved your life, don't ...... in vain"
"No road race! Even if you beg me, I don't need your help! "Emiya is really angry.
"That's right...... It's great that you can hate me. Archer lowered his hand to block Emiya's path.
"Ugh!" A sense of danger hit his heart, and Emiya hurriedly looked back.
"Tear ~~~" The short knife tore Emiya's body.
"Poof~~~~" Bright red arterial blood gushed out.
