Chapter Twenty-Three: Be My Sister

"Whoa!"

The Minotaur, armed with a stone axe, roared incessantly at Emiya Shirou.

One after another, the roar kept echoing here.

But this did not have the slightest effect on Emiya Shirou's focused spirit, and Emiya Shirou, who was holding a big sword, was in full battle spirit at this time.

The girl's trust echoed in his heart.

In the face of the people he wants to protect, Emiya Shirou will never be careless.

He will give everything he has.

"Come on, let's start fighting."

"Whoa!"

In the face of Emiya Shirou's provocation, the Minotaurs were no longer just shocked, but turned into brutes and began their own charge.

At the same time, the girl's beautiful and rhythmic voice sounded in this space.

That's the incantation that the Magus chanted.

[O proud warrior, O archer of the forest. 】

"Advance the plunderers, take up your bows. 】

[Respond to the voices of our compatriots and put your arrows on the winding.] 】

As the chanting progressed, the crimson magic array gradually unfolded, and countless magical powers condensed in the direction where Refia was.

At this time, she was like a light in the night, revealing her naked killing intent to all the monsters present.

Affected by this, many Minotaurs who rushed towards Emiya Shirou changed direction one after another and rushed towards the place where Refia was.

"Where do you want to go? This is where you should be. ”

Wielding a great sword, he slashed the enemies around him, and looking at the Minotaur, who was about to rush towards Refia, Emiya Shirou directly threw the big sword in his hand and pierced it.

[Light the flames, the lights of the forest.] 】

Abandoning the enemy in front of her, she leapt to Refia standing in the center and slew all the Minotaur who approached her.

Looking at the rapidly approaching enemy, Emiya Shirou shouted loudly, "Come on! ”

"Let's try to see who will survive in the end of this fight."

[Orders you to release arrows, fire arrows of the elves.] 】

"Whoa!"

Charge, see charge again.

The upper body pressed down, and the Minotaur, who had accumulated strength, charged towards Emiya Shirou in groups.

And in response to them were sharp swords.

The projected armament appeared beside Emiya Shirou, and then turned into an unstoppable arrow and flew towards the Minotaur.

[Like rain, it burns the barbarians. 】

"Looks like my mission is done."

The chanting of the elves has reached its most passionate hour, and the end of the incantation has come.

Refia's staff was already waving.

The accumulation of mana is complete.

Only the final words of judgment were left to pronounce death on the Minotaur.

【Salvo Fire Javelin】

The sky began to twinkle, and countless fires rained down from the sky.

It was a myriad of golden arrows of light that were coming like rain.

It is also scattered like a meteor shower, like a calamity given by heaven to the world, wanting to destroy all life on this earth.

Blazing arrow-shaped magical arrows arced through the air and quickly fell to the ground.

The attack from the sky covered everything around them, leaving only a small piece of ground where Refia and Emiya Shirou were standing unattacked.

The flaming bolt of light pierced through the monster, blasting the ground and slashing out all the Minotaur around them.

That's a few dozen Minotaurs.

It was wiped off the ground in an instant, and that's the power of magic.

"It's the first time I've seen it, but it's amazing."

Feeling Refia's wide-area annihilation magic, Emiya Shirou deeply experienced the terrifying destructive power of the sorcerer.

Every glowing arrow that Refia shot was not under the collapse of Emiya's illusions.

In such an environment, let alone dozens of Minotaurs, it is ten times more, as long as it is in the cavern, then Refia's magic can destroy it with one blow.

This is something that Emiya Shirou's fantasy collapse cannot achieve.

In the end, his fantasy collapse is just a secondary use of projection magic, a unique technique, not a separate magic.

Therefore, even if Emiya Shirou's infinite sword system continues to be strengthened, the power of the fantasy collapse will not increase.

The only thing that can affect the power of the fantasy Honkai is the amount of mana that makes up the weapon, and the efficiency of Emiya Shirou's use of mana.

Perhaps under the influence of the Infinite Sword System, Emiya Shirou's projection magic will gradually become stronger.

However, it should be strengthened in the direction of the completeness of the projection weapon, so that the projection item is closer to the original.

It may even reduce the mana cost of projection magic.

But it is impossible to increase the power of the weapon after exploding.

That's weird.

"Mr. Shirou, I succeeded."

Looking at the surrounding group of monsters that have been emptied, as well as the magic stones that are densely divided on the ground.

Refia happily jumped into Emiya Shirou's arms, took his arm, and recounted her joy.

Just now, when the Minotaur charge was closest to her, it was only a finger away, but she didn't panic in any way.

It's not just because of his trust in Emiya Shirou, but also because of his trust in himself.

Even if Emiya Shirou didn't arrive in time, she was able to dodge its attacks before she was injured.

And that's exactly what she's been training for a long time.

"It seems that your hardships during this period of time have not been in vain."

Gently stroking Refia's head, Emiya Shirou accompanied her with joy.

"Well, thank you Mr. Shirou for taking care of me during this time."

As she spoke, Refia took a few steps back and bowed deeply to Emiya Shirou.

During this time, Emiya Shirou took care of her, and Refia took it to heart.

Whether it was the armor and weapons carefully built for her, or teaching her martial arts, Emiya Shirou put a lot of effort into her.

She couldn't be more grateful for such care.

Emiya Shirou hurriedly helped Refia up, and he didn't have the idea of asking for anything in return for Refia's care.

It's more of a habit.

Get used to helping others and get used to taking care of others.

Especially those girls who are younger than their own age, every time they see them struggling, it reminds Emiya Shirou of his sister Miyurai.

Now she must be fighting against her fate.

Even if she wasn't by her side.

Looking at Shirou Emiya, who was as tolerant as he was always and did his best to take care of himself, Reyfia's heart suddenly had countless thoughts.

Obviously, he joined the clan earlier than him, and his rank is higher than him, but every time he is in front of Emiya Shirou, it seems that she is a junior.

"Looking at Mr. Shirou, I always feel like Refia and I have an extra brother."

Looking at Refia's smiling face, Emiya Shirou was shocked.

Brother?

It seems like it's been a long time since I've heard that name.

After all, this is a different world, where did he come from his younger brothers and sisters who are alone without relatives.

Except for Meiyou, who would call him that?

Emiya Shirou sighed with emotion.

Refia, who didn't know that Emiya Shirou was in her heart at this time, suddenly smiled and said to herself, "Does Mr. Shirou also regard me as a sister?" ”

"Speaking of which, I haven't asked Mr. Shirou about his family situation, Mr. Shirou, do you have any brothers and sisters?"

Faced with Refia's question, Emiya Shirou suddenly said seriously: "Is it okay?" ”

"Huh? What can? ”

Faced with Emiya Shirou's answer, Refia was very confused.

"To be my sister, of course!"

Emiya Shirou said seriously.
