Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Holy Sword Comes to Help
The black rain broke through Emiya Shirou's defenses, and the sharp spikes were reflected in his eyes, and the breath of death was approaching.
But he had no choice.
Time slowed down at this moment, so slow that Emiya Shirou could see the spikes clearly.
"Actually, it's no different from ordinary spikes, it's just bigger, faster flying, and very dark."
Then in the next moment, a golden light rushed from the side of the self-defense palace Shirou.
The black rain that was about to kill him was reduced to nothingness under this golden light.
ββ¦β¦β¦οΌβ
With all his strength, Emiya Shirou looked up in the direction where the light came, and at the end of the light was the familiar girl with the holy sword in hand.
βSaberβ¦β¦ It's you...... Saved me. β
Artoria took a deep breath and returned from swinging her sword to standing.
It was really a slight mistake just now, either Emiya Shirou was pierced by the black thorn, or he was burned to death by the brilliance of his holy sword.
It's really dangerous.
Seeing that his attack was blocked, Matthew stiffened his neck and looked in Artoria's direction.
Then the gaze fell on Lancelot.
Perceiving the other party's gaze, Gawain said to Lancelot suspiciously: "Lancelot, the other party seems to be looking at you." β
"Well, I'm aware of that. But ......"
"But what?"
"Shhh......... The shield in her hand, and her armor. Gao Wenqing, do you feel familiar? β
"Huh?"
Hearing Lancelot's words, Gawain stared at Matthew's shield and armor for a moment.
ββ¦β¦β¦ Hey, it seems familiar, have we seen it somewhere? β
"I don't know, but I have a bad premonition."
Matthew, in the distance, stared at Lancelot for a moment before moving.
At first, they were just walking, but soon they were running towards the three of them.
Since the enemy has already come menacingly, it is naturally impossible for the three Artoria to stand in place stupidly.
"Lancelot, Gao Wenqing."
"In!" *2
"You hold off the enemy first, and I'm going to save people."
"Yes, King, please leave it to us."
"Don't worry, my king, I won't let you down."
"Hmm."
As soon as she answered, Artoria hurried in the direction of Emiya Shirou, and the two knights followed her.
At the moment of contact, Artoria decisively crossed Mathieu and continued to move forward, who tried to stop her, but the two knights intervened to interfere with her.
Gawain stepped out first, holding his sword in both hands and slashing out a standard downward split.
Lancelot, meanwhile, followed suit and attacked with a top-up.
Unable to ignore it, Matthew gave up on attacking Artoria and instead placed his shield in front of him to block the attack.
After getting past Matthew, Artoria quickly rushed to Emiya's side.
At this time, his breath was already very weak, his breathing was basically invisible, and the speed of his heartbeat was frighteningly slow.
Artoria didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly took out her healing potion and gave it to Emiya Shirou to drink.
Although his consciousness was blurred, the life force in the potion made his body instinctively swallow the potion in his mouth.
After taking the potion, Emiya Shirou's breath quickly stabilized, and the wound quickly stopped bleeding, scabbed, and then quickly fell off.
Shirou Emiya, who was originally on the verge of death, was resurrected with full blood in less than a minute under the effect of this potion.
"Thank you, Saber. If it weren't for you, I'd be dead. β
"No thanks, Shirou. I have made a vow to be the sword that guards you, and of course it is impossible to break it. β
"Still, I want to say thank you. Then ......"
Emiya Shirou turned his gaze to the battlefield where the battle was raging, and Artoria followed his line of sight.
On the battlefield, although it was two to one, Lancelot and Gawain were pressed and beaten by Matthew throughout the whole process, and they had no power to fight back.
Seeing that the two of them were at such a disadvantage, even though Artoria wanted to join the battlefield, she hesitated when she thought of Emiya Shirou beside her.
Seeing her hesitation, Emiya Shirou said to Artoria, "Go ahead, Saber. I'm fine. β
"Since you are here, then I will go find someone, who will fight with me before you come."
"I'm going to check on him."
"Understood, Shirou, you go, leave it to us here."
"Please, Saber."
With that, Emiya Shirou hurried in the direction of Machiri earlier.
Seeing Emiya Shirou disappear from his field of vision, Artoria also raised her sword and joined the battlefield of Matthew, Lancelot, and Gawain.
In the middle of the battle, Lancelot slashed at Matthew, who responded with a large shield.
When the shield and sword were handed over, Lancelot, who was shocked by the huge recoil force, felt a pain in his mouth, and even the sword in his hand was almost shaken out, but he held on.
Taking advantage of the opportunity that Lancelot created for himself, Gawain approached Matthew's side, the sword in his hand, the sister sword of the holy sword Excalibur, and the Excalibur Galatine, who was also the holy sword.
The simulated sun sealed within it began to move, and the sun's light bloomed from the hilt of the sword.
"Let's take it!"
Gawain held the sword that bloomed with the sun's brilliance and attacked Matthew fiercely, and the radioactive rays of the sun were released.
Matthew glanced this way, then raised his right hand, and the dark magic poured out of her, transforming into a deep vortex in front of her.
The crimson rays of the sun came to the whirlpool, were sucked into it without any resistance, and then disappeared silently like snowflakes falling into boiling water.
Seeing that his sun's light was so easily eliminated by the other party, Gao Wen's heart was half cold on the spot, but he didn't want to give up, so he rushed forward with his sword.
After blocking Gawain's rays of the sun, Matthew reverted the vortex to pure magic and attached it to his right hand, then clenched his fist and punched his shield.
The force of the impact emanated from Matthew's hand, to the shield, to Lancelot's sword, and finally to shatter the bones of his hand.
That's right, Matthew's punch directly shattered Lancelot's hand bones.
"Hmm!!!"
The pain of shattering the bones of his hand instantly filled Lancelot's brain, and although he was strong enough not to scream, the sword in his hand was no longer able to clench.
Clang.
Aroundight, the sword entrusted to humanity by the Zeals of the Lake along with Excalibur, fell to the ground.
After the bones of his hand were shattered, Lancelot himself was shaken away by the force.
Although he was blocked by a shield and couldn't see what was happening to Lancelot, Gawain heard the sound of the sword falling to the ground, so he concluded that the other party's situation was not good.
Gawain sped up and rushed towards Matthew, and as he ran, the sun's brilliance grew stronger.
After coming to Matthew's presence, Gawain swung his sword with the powerful light of the sun.
And Matthew also turned around, clenched his left hand into a fist to condense the magic power and punched out.
The fist and the sword met in the air in an instant.
