Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

In the ruined temple complex, the smoke and dust of the explosion soared into the sky, and the dust fell, enveloping the area.

From the smoke, Emiya Shirou's figure rushed out, slid a short distance on the ground and stopped, standing firm, his left arm hanging weakly.

"How's it going?"

Machiri saw Emiya Shirou out of the battle and quickly rushed over.

"It's not good, it's terrible."

Emiya Shirou looked at his weakened left hand, whether it was the current battle situation or the pain caused by the injury, it was difficult for his brow to stretch.

"Although it is said that her movement has just been blocked, it is useless at all, it can only buy us a little time to breathe."

"But against an opponent of this level, it's nice to catch your breath. At least we can catch our breath. ”

Machiri said this as if in a bitter mood, and then gave Emiya Shirou a relaxed smile.

Although he knew that this was just a pretending to be made by Maqiri, seeing this relaxed smile still made Emiya Shirou's mood soothe a lot.

"Can you still move your left arm?"

"Although I don't want to accept this fact, the situation is that I can't move at all."

"Even if it's just a slight swing, it hurts, and I want to scream."

"That's a terrible situation. Do you still have your medicine? ”

"Yes, only the last one remains."

Emiya Shirou took out the last potion, and the turquoise potion became his last straw.

If it weren't for Asclepius's potion, I'm afraid he would have died long ago.

"How are you going to break the game next?"

After drinking the potion, Emiya Shirou asked Machiri.

The latter said after thinking carefully for a while: "To be honest, in the face of an opponent of this level, such a thing as stratagem can already be said to be meaningless. ”

"Whether it's strength, agility, patience or magic, the other side surpasses us too much."

"If you want to win, there is only one way to fight."

"Can we only fight bloody?"

Emiya Shirou put his hand on his chest, he knew very well that the chances of winning were very small.

The battle is no longer a question of whether they can win or not, just to survive the opponent's attack is already about to exhaust all their energy.

Even so......

"I'm still going to win."

Emiya Shirou projected his weapon, he knew it would be difficult to win, but he also had unused hole cards.

Avalon, the fairy scabbard that Emiya Kiritsugu left to him, and the second magic gem that Dongfang Yunfan gave him.

I'm going to lose this kind of thing, and it's not time to say it yet!

Rumble!

A huge burst of magic power swept away all the smoke and dust, and the pitch-black magic power suddenly spread throughout the area, and the oppressive atmosphere began to spread.

Machiri and Emiya Shirou immediately entered into a state of response.

At the center of the magic explosion, Matthew's eyes were closed, and her figure gradually revealed in the pitch-black magic, an ominous aura enveloping her whole body.

Her left hand reached forward in a grip shape, and ominous, pitch-black, blood-colored magic condensed in her hand.

Then, her eyes suddenly opened, and they had turned blood-red, with an eerie glow of the same color.

With a slam grip on her left hand, the condensed magic exploded and attached to her body, causing her entire Turin base index to soar, and also making Matthew's appearance begin to change.

A pitch-black visor appeared on his face, and the armor of both arms, which originally covered only the forearms, wrapped the entire arm, and the armor on both legs was the same.

The cross shield in his hand was enlarged again, and the edge of the cross, which was originally quite smooth, became extremely sharp, and on the round shield in the center, there was another circle of blood-colored lines.

The dark and ominous magic surrounded Matthew, and at this time, she was like a demon king from hell.

An unprecedented sense of crisis instantly enveloped Shirou Emiya and Machiri, their hair standing upside down and their adrenaline pumping.

It's like a rabbit being targeted by a dinosaur.

"Can you still move? Don't tell me you're scared to move. ”

"What do you say? I promised Sakura that I would go back. ”

"That's good, don't be afraid, go up with courage!"

The giant insect demon broke through the ground, the earth and rocks splashed, and the terrifying mouth bit down on Mathew, and then Emiya Shirou and Machiri took the opportunity to start moving.

But the dark magic stopped it, turned into spikes, and pierced the insect demon in an instant before the big mouth could bite down.

Matthew's emotionless eyes swept across the battlefield and locked on to the two of them.

Hold the shield in your right hand and extend your left hand forward.

The huge magic force went deep into the air and turned into a deep ball, the surface of the ball was pitch black, and when it went deep into the air, it looked like a gap in space, absorbing all the light, like a black hole.

The armor-wrapped palm lifted, and the fingers pointed at the ball, and its calm surface immediately began to surge, becoming uneven.

It was impossible for the two of them to stand there and wait when they saw Matthew do this, although they didn't know what the other was going to do, but they just interrupted.

Moving to a relatively safe location, Emiya Shirou bent his bow and pulled the arrow, took a deep breath and launched the spiral sword in his hand.

The powerful arrow was coming, but Matthew didn't bother to look at it, and moved the shield in his hand slightly.

The spiral sword slammed into the big shield, and the magic power in the sword burst out in an instant, and a huge roar sounded, filling the sky with smoke and dust.

But it didn't work, the direction from which the sword flew was full of smoke and dust, and the ground was badly damaged. And the side of the shield is still the same as before, without any change.

Seeing that this blow failed, Emiya Shirou immediately drew his bow again, and a rain of red arrows was launched by him.

If the quality is not good, use the quantity to solve it, and use everything, even if there is only one arrow that can hurt her, even if there is only one.

On the other hand, Marchi was not in a hurry.

He knew one thing very well, and that was - they would never be able to defeat Matthew. At least for now.

To defeat the opponent, breaking the defense is the most basic requirement, but until now, they can't even break Matthew's defense.

It is said that there is only one way to win a bloody battle, but in fact, they are the only ones who will shed blood.

On the bright side, it's a battle.

Actually, it's a battle called a battle for survival.

It is impossible to win, and the purpose of the battle has long since changed from defeating the enemy to holding the enemy, and even if it is impossible to win, it is necessary to make it impossible for the enemy to free up his hands to deal with others, at least to do so.

The surface of the surging sphere changed from sleek to bumpy to a spiked ball, and then the sphere began to spin full and accelerated.

A huge sense of crisis suddenly surged into the hearts of the two of them, and the instinct of their bodies urged them to retreat quickly and not stay here for a second.

But no sooner had their feet moved than the orb had accelerated to a terrifying speed.

Then, like bullets fired from a machine gun, the Black Thorns fired in all directions at unparalleled speed.

Before the brain can react to what is going on, the body is already moving.

Bang!

The flower-like shield reappeared, but as soon as it appeared, the dense and swift black thorns instantly shattered a layer of shield, and the rest were rapidly cutting down at an extremely fast speed.

"Damn......

Emiya Shirou did his best to maintain the existence of the shield, but what could it do?

The speed at which the shield shattered remained unabated, and this was just delaying his own death.

Whether it's offense or defense, it's impossible to defeat at all, and this servant can't win at all!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Soon only one layer of the shield remained, and despair soon came over Emiya Shirou's mind, and the idea of giving up resistance and dying began to appear.

Although there were still two hole cards that were useless, just to maintain the existence of the shield used up all his energy, and there was no way to activate those two hole cards.

Ahh

The last layer of shields also began to shatter, and already Blackthorn had broken through the defenses.

Poof.

Blood splattered, and black thorns pierced Emiya's left thigh.

Poof.

This time it's the left shoulder.

Poof.

This time it was the right rib that was penetrated.

Puff, puff, puff, puff.

Emiya Shirou knelt on the ground weakly, most of the shield had been shattered, and he was about to die.

"I didn't expect it...... I'm still so weak...... Despite a lot of efforts...... But...... Still so weak...... How much I wish I could ...... I could be a little stronger...... A little stronger......"

“…………………………”

Bang.
