Chapter Ninety-Six: The Decisive Moment

Night has finally fallen.

I don't know if it's because today is the final battle, but the weather seems to be exceptionally good on this night......

Let's not talk about the temperature or anything, after all, in early winter, the cold is a little cold, but this does not prevent tonight from being a cloudless month in the middle of the good weather.

On this day, for the residents of Fuyuki City, who have been scared for many days, days like this are finally coming to an end.

At Emiya Shirou's house, Emiya Shirou and the others, who had had dinner, had already made all preparations after resting for a while.

"Saber, Tosaka, Miss Bazet, Miss Rider, and Miss Caster, let's go, Mr. Li Zongxuan, they must have been waiting a little impatiently."

Emiya Shirou stood at the door and said to everyone in the house.

If Jiang Yin was here, he would definitely complain, he was worthy of a coyote, the edge of the harem was really not covered, and the harem was established casually......

It's just that the guy who likes to complain is no longer there......

Three days ago, how fierce the battle in front of the Yanagidong Temple was, Emiya Shirou couldn't imagine at all. However, even the Nakasu team killed two people in the battle, and so many corpses near the Liudong Temple are not fake.

Today, Emiya Shirou has a deeper understanding of the brutality of this Holy Grail War. Yes, this is indeed a war, and only war can be so cruel!

The only thing that made Emiya Shirou feel a little reassuring was that his friends Yanagito Kazunari and Fujimura were temporarily away from the whirlpool of this war. The former was after Caster moved out of the Ryudong Temple, and the Yanato family also moved out temporarily because of the need to repair the Ryudong Temple. And the latter is because of the boss of the Fujimura group, Uncle Fujimura Leihua smelled some strange smells, and he was very keen to take his family to travel to Europe.

In the past three days, Emiya Shirou has not relaxed at all. Although, in the space that Shunezel pulled him into inexplicably, Emiya Shirou did not accept the power that Shunezel wanted to give him (Emiya Shirou unilaterally believed), however, it seems that Shunezel's actions also affected Emiya Shirou. As a result, in the past few days, he has been constantly feeling the improvement of his strength.

This feeling is very wonderful, to say whether you have become stronger, this kind of thing should only be found in the battle, and you can really know whether your strength has risen or fallen. But Emiya Shirou didn't fight, he just sat and drank tea on the side, and he really felt the feeling in his body that kept coming from the depths of his body...... His strength is constantly improving!

[Now Words...... I guess I can compete with Archer. 】

Emiya Shirou silently clenched his fists, feeling the power in his hands. Now he should have the strength to fight Archer. This power of one battle refers to a battle in which Archer uses all his strength, including the infinite sword system, to fight with all his might! In other words, the current Emiya Shirou already has the level to be able to fight with the Heroic Spirit, and he is already a hero's strength!

"Hey, Emiya-san, Archer...... It's really not dead, is it? ”

Suddenly, Rin Tosaka asked with her head down, tying her shoelaces without raising her head.

"Huh?" Emiya Shirou was stunned for a moment when he heard this, paused, then raised his head and said in a very affirmative tone: "Yes, I can feel it, Archer him...... Didn't die. At least for now, Archer is still alive! ”

"Yes...... Rin Tosaka fastened her shoelaces, stood up, moved her hands and feet, and then showed the "elegant smile of an eldest lady" that she had always had in school.

"That's good...... Really, he still has to rely on Emiya-san's classmates to judge the life and death of his Servant, what an uneasy guy...... This time, when he comes back, I must teach him a good lesson! ”

Rin Tosaka smiled as he clenched his fist and gurgled again, and seeing this, Emiya Shirou's forehead couldn't help but shed a big cold sweat. After learning Archer's true identity, he didn't know how he felt about Archer, although Emiya Shirou didn't want to admit that Archer was his future self. However, the kind of connection he had with himself invisibly could not be severed. Especially after Archer was devoured by Sakura, Emiya Shirou could always feel that all kinds of useful knowledge was constantly coming from Archer's side for combat.

In other words, Emiya Shirou was able to become stronger thanks to Archer.

"Is the final battle...... Saber stood silently to the sidelines, calmly watching all this, the Holy Grail, for her now, it seems that the focus of the battle is no longer the focus. Perhaps passively, Saber has unconsciously changed his original goal.

What did you pick up this sword for? Who is the sword in his hand for?

For the sake of the path in his heart, Emiya Shirou chose to abandon his identity as a Master, and even went to the opposite side of everyone. Although, his nature is not bad, and it is not for any despicable purpose.

But will he still be able to fulfill his oath and wield the sword in his hand to protect him?

After seeing the black mud, Saber has understood what the essence of the Holy Grail is, and naturally no longer has any unrealistic illusions about the Holy Grail.

"It seems that the only reason for my survival in this world is to destroy the Holy Grail." Saber thought to herself, with some self-deprecation.

β€œSaber。” Bazett yelled at Saber.

"What's the matter? Master。 Saber replied.

Bazet picked up the small leather bag that he had been keeping with him, carried it behind him casually, and said, "I'm leaving." ”

"Hmm." Saber nodded.

Either way, tonight will be the last night...... The night when all stories end.

………………

…………

……

In the Fuyuki City Ancestral Memorial Hall, which is already empty.

At this time, the memorial hall is now naturally no longer visited by tourists to commemorate the innocent citizens who died in the fire in Fuyuki City ten years ago.

Today's Fuyuki City has been directly blocked by the army and announced that it has entered a temporary state of military control. Therefore, the citizens did not dare to leave their homes at this time, for fear of suffering from the disaster of the fish pond. Of course, as for why it became like this, it was naturally the time for the city government of Fuyuki City to have a headache.

The entire memorial hall was dark and silent, quietly empty. It seems to be just an empty building.

The moonlight, little by little, moved with time, and fell little by little into the empty building.

At this time, there was no abnormal happening, just so suddenly, more than a dozen figures suddenly appeared under the moonlight.

Under this moonlight, the empty memorial hall suddenly became lively.

"Lao Tzu, I'm really a dog, and I've finally left that hellish place!"

A certain Ai stretched his waist for a long time, and the bones on his body were crackling, as if he had been sitting for a long time and his body was stiff.

Dada said, "We've been trapped for so long, we don't know if the Holy Grail has come? ”

Latte scratched his head, and said with some uncertainty: "It shouldn't be yet, if there is, the main god should give some hints." ”

At this time, Feng Jie's eyes were in the distance, his face was very ugly, and he said in a deep voice:

"Liudong Temple...... Babel, that's good...... You guys are very good, you really me off! ”
