Chapter 35: Unyielding
"Shirou is no match for Arhcer."
King Arthur still wants to come forward to help, now Archer is too strong, too strong, she and Heizhen have joined forces to barely have a slight advantage, even if she is in a sufficient state for demons, she may not have a chance of winning, no matter how Shirou thinks, it is impossible to win.
"I know, but Shirou's expression, do you think you can intervene?"
"But..."
"Shirou will be fine."
Gollum is not worried at all, because she knows Shirou, so she is more confident than Shirou himself, no matter what changes will happen to the Valhalla, this battle will definitely make Shirou grow.
"But Shirou has already hurt a lot, if you can't hold on..."Saber is still worried, although she has not been with Shirou for long, she has already identified with this master, even if Shirou is not a very good master.
"Saber, haven't you noticed? You'll be summoned by Shirou to do this. β
Gollum thought about it for a while and decided to tell Saber about the scabbard, Shirou and King Arthur's fate is the scabbard, and this traction is inseparable, even if the course of history changes, it can't change the relationship between them.
In the middle of the battlefield, the confrontation between Shirou and Archer ends.
Next, there is only fighting.
"The ignorance that you know you are invincible but still persists, the impostor who has been imprisoned in boring ideals all your life, and the impostor who has no self-will, this is your true face, understand?"
Stopping his breath, not wanting to speak, and focusing on his full attention, Shirou didn't have the energy to answer Archer's question.
"There's no value in surviving, and I'm convinced that your life is worthless. Just trying to save and save is simply a faulty idea, you are just a fake that should not exist. β
The mana is consumed so quickly that even the magic circuit itself is burning.
Although he is learning Arhcer, there is a big gap between his own level and ability, and forcing himself to come up with the same thing will only make the burden on his body more and more.
In a short time, his body was covered in bruises, which was a pretty bad situation to be honest.
"It's noisy~~"
Even so, the body still screamed to fight.
The depressed heart is forcing itself to stand up.
No, you have to stand up.
He can lose anyone, but he must not be defeated by himself.
"In vain, I'm the end of your ideals, there's no way you're going to be able to beat me, understand?"
Of course I know, but so what?
"βTrace, off"
Pour the rest of your consciousness into the circuit.
The stinging nerves screamed, and in the midst of this, tenacious weapons were assembled.
In his hand is Archer's twin swords.
Cadre Mo Xie, a famous sword named after ancient miracles.
"You can't agree with me, as long as I'm still your ideal, Emiya Shirou will deny me more than anyone else, right?"
's calm lines, but Shirou was very angry.
Twin swords against twin swords.
In a duel with the same weapon, Shirou had no chance of winning, and Archer easily blocked the attack without taking a single step.
"Tsk-"
The twin swords were pushed back, and the difference in arm strength was obvious.
If he tried hard, Shirou couldn't even match Archer's hand.
"I ask you, Emiya Shirou, do you think you are worthy to be a messenger of justice?"
Lift up your strength, and since you can't beat it, then stare back with your eyes.
Shirou clenched his teeth and expressed himself with actions.
"Yes, you will not give up this ideal, and you cannot violate or deny the feelings, even if they do not come from your heart."
Archer's words paralyzed Shirou's heart, but not from the heart? What does this mean?
"Hmph, don't you want to admit it? I don't have a memory of you now, but only that scene hasn't been forgotten. β
Arhcer looked at Shirou, and the scene came to their eyes.
A sea of fire and the breath of death, a desperate plea for help, but unrealized. The reassuring expression of a man named Emiya Kiritsugu when he rescued Shirou.
"You're the only one rescued, there's no reason to feel guilty about the people who weren't saved, you're just yearning for Emiya Kiritsugu. It's just that the man's expression on saving you seems too happy, so he wants to be like that. β
Shirou couldn't argue that Archer was right, and at that time, it wasn't just himself who was saved.
Abandon the assumptions that he had thought about so far, and if Kiritsugu was one of the causes of the fire, he would not be able to bear it.
A tragedy in which no one survived.
The heirs of the parties will be desperate to search for survivors.
Then, miraculously, Shirou was able to survive.
Saved child, man with found survivor.
Speaking of which, it's a miracle for both sides.
"It's ideal for a child to want to be parents, but you're going too far. For Emiya Kiritsugu, if you only look forward to the ideal that Emiya Kiritsugu wants to become, then it's fine. However, the curse he left on you on his deathbed has become everything to you. β
Archer was right.
When the empty man passed away that night, Emiya Shirou inherited that justice.
In that moment, he had to be a messenger of justice.
My feelings don't matter anymore, just for the characters I admired since childhood, and I work hard to become the identity I yearn for.
The wish that everyone can be happy, the dream that Kiritsugu expected and did not come trueβββ
"You should know that your ideals are only borrowed, you are just imitating the dreams of the man Kiritsugu Emiya, and that man's belief that it is true is fundamentally wrong, and there is a limit to repeating other people's ideas!!"
Shirou raised his head and desperately supported his heart that was gradually succumbing, he was fed up, he was taught by his future self, and he didn't want to be passive anymore.
"Is it all over? You loser. β
What qualifications does a guy who can't even save his own will have to teach him a lesson? There must be a limit to arrogance, even if he has a good temper, he will be angry.
"It's wrong to say that Kiritsugu is wrong, so why didn't you say it until now?"
Because the ideal has come to an end, it is a mistake?
Because you didn't get the rewards you deserved, you gave up your dreams?
It's really hard to laugh, he won't be like that.
"You're just afraid to admit defeat."
The sword momentum is galloping, and the double swords are mixed with scolding, attacking with unprecedented momentum.
The strength of the two sides is no longer at the same level, but Shirou has an advantage at this moment, to be precise, Archer is shaken.
"Look~~"
Outside the battlefield, Gollum smiled.
Archer can't kill Emiya Shirou, it has nothing to do with strength, as long as Archer is still Emiya Shirou's ideal, their battle is an ideal duel.
"You knew this was going to be the end from the beginning?" Tosaka was surprised.
"Of course, how could I possibly put Shirou at risk."
But what's the point? Archer is still under control. Heizhen interjected.
"It's okay, I have a way."
Gollum replied confidently.
