Chapter 424: The World of Mental Images

The experience of being thrown into the body of an evil god and losing his body made Shiki transcend the concept of a physical body, or it could be said that he returned to his essence, after all, he himself was embodied by the wishes of countless people, and consciousness was the embodiment of matter.

The heart does not die if it is pierced, the body does not die if it is split in half, and even if the brain is destroyed, it does not die. Although it is not an immortal body, the weakness of the physical body no longer exists. As long as there is a soul and power, it can reconstruct the body, which is somewhat similar to a ghost, or a heroic spirit without a spirit core.

It is unthinkable if it is a monk and a martial artist who cultivates both life, and even if they reach the middle circle, it is impossible to get rid of their physical weaknesses, and the body itself is an extremely important thing for them.

On the contrary, Shiki does not have the shortcomings of the body in the conventional sense, and at the same time, the strength of the body cannot reach the height of a warrior, so even if Shiki's strength is much stronger than Miyuki and Hatsuzakura, the strength of the body is not as good as them.

Everything has gains and losses, and all roads lead to Rome, no matter what kind of development direction there is no superiority or disadvantage, only suitability.

There is no doubt that this is the most suitable path for the four seasons, and if it continues to develop, it will not be a problem to completely transform the concept of consciousness and matter.

However, now is not the time to think about these things, and when Shikiki will recover his body, Emiya Shirou, who found that he had failed in his attack, immediately attacked again.

A golden sword appeared in his hand, and at the same time, the intense magic power was transformed into light by the sword.

โ€œGram๏ผโ€

With the liberation of his true name, a dazzling beam of light waved towards the place where the four seasons were.

The weapon held by the great hero of Norse mythology, Siegfried (cognate with Siegfried), is also the prototype of King Arthur's Caliburn (sword in stone). A magic sword that symbolizes honor and ruin.

The four seasons opened the telekinetic screen wall in front of him, after all, it is not a real immortal body, and it also takes strength to restore the body, and if it is bombarded into slag all at once, it is impossible to recover it.

The light tore through the earth in an arc-shaped ditch, but the four seasons stood intact at the end of the ditch.

Emiya Shirou, who was about to attack again, suddenly stopped, and at the same time kept looking around, because there were only two people left, he and Shiki, and Jill was gone.

"Won't let you find him."

Shiki said to Emiya Shirou in a flat voice.

"Senseless resistance!"

Emiya Shirou once again set his gaze on the four seasons, his eyes mixed with anger, vigilance, pain, and other kinds of emotions.

The next moment, Emiya Shirou's figure disappeared from the spot, not teleporting, but speeding beyond the limit of what the naked eye could capture.

Shiki defended around his body, and Emiya Shirou's falling slash caused ripples in the defensive screen.

Emiya Shirou, who had once again taken out his twin swords, kept slashing at Shiki, and the continuous attacks were like stormy waves.

In just a few seconds, dozens of slashes fell, and Shiki noticed that the fluctuations of the screen wall had reached its limit, and it seemed that it would shatter in the next moment.

This reminded the four seasons of the previous actual combat training with Qiuhua, although the techniques were different, but they had the same effect.

Eventually, Shiki's defenses were broken, and Shirou's slash fell on Shiki's body, but only a remnant of the afterimage.

At the last moment, Shiki flashed to the side, but then a treasure shot towards his position.

At the same time that Shiki stopped the attack, Emiya Shirou had already rushed over again, enveloping him in a continuous stream of sword light.

The continuous attacks did not leave the four seasons the slightest chance to fight back, and the martial arts used to cast with the power of projection completely reached the realm of inhumanism.

In previous encounters, Shirou Emiya seems to have discovered Shiki's fighting style, and instead of choosing to go head-to-head, he uses flexible actions to put pressure on Shiki with a one-touch approach.

Shiki's fighting style is very similar to that of Gilgamesh, neither of them has a unique martial arts, but they are good at finding the enemy's weak points in battle and then using the means to break them. Other times, it uses sheer strength to crush the enemy.

At this time, Emiya Shirou was definitely the worst of all the enemies he had ever seen. The inherent barrier can isolate the support he receives from the world, the Heroic King's Noble Phantasm can cope with the various abilities of the four seasons, and even the mental world can resist erosion thanks to the power of Gilgamesh. If these bring them to a draw, Emiya Shirou still has a power that Shirou does not have in the four seasons, and that is the martial arts honed from battle.

After another collision, Emiya Shirou, who failed to break the defense of the four seasons, immediately retreated. In the moment when the two sides staggered, Shiki felt the torrent of emotions coming from Emiya Shirou, which was a wave of emotional anger that could engulf both the enemy and himself, and these feelings continued to come with the crazy attacks.

Emiya Shirou's own thoughts, his distorted feelings after being accused, and the malicious erosion from Gilgamesh are the power that can make people completely lose themselves, and it is a miracle that he did not go crazy at this time. But even so, his heart is probably already in tatters.

"You've kept me here too long."

Shiki said this, and then the world that centered on him began to erode around him again.

The black and white world spreads around, but the golden light stops it in its way. It's the same as before, but the seasons don't do things that don't make sense.

The world of the four seasons and the world of Emiya Shirou divide this place in two.

As Emiya Shirou approached again, the golden power had an impact on the world of the four seasons.

It's a clash of spirits, and the home side has a huge advantage.

Shiki still stood in place and watched this expected scene arrive, and at the moment when the two collided, the impact was stopped by a strange change, and even Emiya Shirou, who rushed over, stopped moving.

Between the golden and black and white worlds, a dim wasteland appeared, and rows of sword graves stood between Shiki and Emiya Shirou.

There was no doubt that it belonged to the infinite sword system of Emiya Shirou, but at this time, it was stopped in front of Emiya Shirou...... No, it should be said that it is in front of Emiya Shirou, who was eroded by the power of Gilgamesh.

"This is the resistance of your heart, and it is the will that truly belongs to Emiya Shirou."

Because of the power of Gilgamesh, the mental world has indeed become stronger, but at the same time, it has irreparable flaws. Emiya Shirou is Emiya Shirou and Gilgamesh is Gilgamesh, the two are different beings, and no matter how they merge with the power rooted in this world, they are distorted.

What Shiki did was draw out Emiya Shirou's power and cause it to disintegrate from within.
