In the ruins of the temple not far away, Emiya Shirou is constantly fighting with three high-level fantasy species, the Chimera.

These three Chimeras were all cultivated by Barbatos, and their strength far exceeded that of normal Chimeras.

Not only do they have stronger bodies, sharper claws, but most importantly, they have the intelligence to devise tactics.

Together, unless you have an overwhelming strength like Gilgamesh, or have a special attack, you can only be crushed by them.

Barbatos walked leisurely to the temple's original gate, and then walked straight to the throne located high in the temple.

Realizing that their master was coming, the Chimera were even more excited, and they couldn't wait to tear apart Emiya Shirou's body and try to please him with his blood.

Emiya Shirou, who had been forced into a corner of the temple, also noticed Barbatos, but there was nothing he could do about him.

He was out of breath with just three Super Chimeras, and with one Barbatos, he was really looking for death.

Roar!

The lead Chimera 1 let out a roar, and Chimera 2 and Chimera 3 pounced on Emiya Shirou together.

Attacking from both sides, what is even worse is that these two sides are still very close.

“I am the bone of my sword。 (This body is made of a sword.) ）”

"Rho Aias!"

The crimson flowers bloomed instantly, but not one, but two.

Emiya Shirou held a shield in each hand, and the moment the two Chimera pounced, he decisively pushed the two shields out.

Seeing that it was a shield, the two Chimera didn't pay much attention to it, and prepared to step over directly.

But just as they approached the shield, an unstable, furious magic came out of the shield.

"Broken Phantasm."

Rumble!

The violent explosion was almost instantaneous, giving the two Chimera no time to react.

The power of the self-detonation of the two A-rank Noble Phantasms is not so simple, even if it is projected.

The firelight from the explosion blocked the view between Emiya Shirou and Chimera One, and the magic used for the explosion temporarily disrupted the mana sense.

Because it was not clear what was going on inside, the Chimera One did not choose to attack immediately, but chose to wait and see.

Taking advantage of the brief cover created by the explosion, Emiya Shirou raised his right hand, held his right wrist with his left hand, closed his eyes, and mobilized all his energy to begin preparing for the projection.

In the current situation, ordinary weapons can no longer meet the needs of combat, so it is necessary to project a weapon strong enough, strong enough to solve the current crisis.

And to project such a weapon, it is necessary to pay full attention.

Therefore, Emiya Shirou deliberately retreated to the corner of the temple, reducing the direction he needed to defend, and then used the fantasy collapse to make cover.

As for whether the remaining Chimera One will come over and sneak attack, he is not very worried.

Because Emiya Shirou had observed that the three Chimeras had obvious intelligence, and as long as they had wisdom, they would have scruples and suspicions and fears.

So as long as a one-time manufacturing situation occurs, it can make it have concerns and make it afraid that this is not a trap.

Now that the preparations are complete, let's hurry up and project.

"Divine magic, use."

The knowledge that Medea had taught him all emerged.

"Project object, OK."

The image of a Star Sword came to his mind.

"Projection connection, establishment."

The blue fairy scabbard was awakened within him.

"Elementary particles, explanation."

Through the fairy scabbard, the basic of the holy sword is emerging bit by bit.

"Basic skeleton, build."

The golden particles began to gather in his hand, and gradually turned into a model of a sword.

"Projection filling, begin."

The model began to flesh out, and began to transform into a real Star Sacred Sword.

At this time, the fire dissipated, and all of it appeared in front of the three Chimeras.

After seeing the real situation inside, the Chimera pounced again without mercy.

Especially the Chimera No. 3 and No. 2, with a deep sense of anger in their eyes, they are about to tear Emiya Shirou alive.

"Full Project Projection Completed (Excalibur)."

"Sword of Oath Victory (Blade Works)."

When he opened his eyes, he saw three Chimeras lunging towards him.

They're ferocious, they're wild.

But it's useless.

"Saber, thank you for being willing to let me observe your sword for two days and two nights, if it weren't for that, I would definitely fail this projection."

"So, thank you."

"Projection armament, real name liberation."

"Excalibur (Projection Sword of Victory)!"

Holding the holy sword in his right hand, he slashed sharply, and the golden light instantly devoured the three Chimeras, burning them to ashes.

When the Sacred Sword's Noble Phantasm was unraveled, half of the temple had disappeared into the light.

After eliminating the three Chimeras, Emiya Shirou straightened up and exhaled deeply.

The liberation just now directly consumed three-quarters of the magic power in his body, and it was impossible to liberate it again, and the next battle with Barbatos would also be greatly affected.

So—

Emiya Shirou put away his sword and walked to the front of the throne, while holding a gem in the palm of his hand in an extremely natural posture.

This is his last hole card.

Smack, smack, smack.

Barbatos on the throne was clapping his hands, his eyes narrowed so that he could not see his gaze. There was no joy or sorrow on His face, and he could not see what was in His heart at the moment.

"Although what I really saw was only a small part just now, I have to say that you were able to project this Star Holy Sword out of my expectations."

"So now, human."

"I will give you two choices: one is to join us and become my messenger, and I will give you eternal young flesh and immortal life. The second is to reject me, so that I will kill you here, and I will never let you become an obstacle to us. ”

"Choose."

"Choose?"

After listening to Barbatos's words, Emiya Shirou suddenly burst out laughing.

"Doesn't this kind of thing have a result from the beginning? How is it possible to have such a choice? ”

"Oh? Could it be—"

"Yes, Demon God Pillar Barbatos."

Emiya Shirou walked towards the throne step by step.

"Of course I'm going to turn you down, and rightfully so."

"Why?"

"Why, you ask? Then you have a look at the city! ”

His expression turned terrifying, and endless anger welled up from his body.

"Look at the city! Take a look at this city where I have lived for more than ten years since I was born! Look at this city, because what has become of your Demon God Pillars! ”

As he spoke, even though most of the mana power was consumed, Emiya Shirou's momentum was constantly improving.

"In this city, there are traces of my life for more than ten years, and there are friends I have known in the past ten years, friendly teachers, kind store managers, and kind elders."

"Most importantly, this is the man's resting place! It is no less than the resting place of the man who gave me a second life. ”

"Demon God Pillar, the hatred between us has long been unraveled."

"Stupid!"

Barbatos on the throne scolded.

"It's so stupid that you would give up your almost infinite life for the sake of this short life of more than ten years."

"How stupid you are!"

"Just say I'm stupid, it's not the first time I've been scolded like this."

"This is human stupidity, this is human stupidity!"

Barbatos stood up, and a majestic magic suddenly appeared.

"This is humanity, this is the preciousness of humanity!"

Emiya Shirou ran forward, and the brilliance of the Star Sacred Sword began to bloom.
