Emiya Shirou knows very well that the fundamental reason for his current state is that the séance magic projected his own future, Archer's consciousness on himself, and the two sides overlapped with it to create the current illusion.

This is the illusionary space where the two of them mingle, and everything they see in front of them is what Archer wants Emiya Shirou to see.

Everything is real.

"Acting to achieve one's dreams, saving some people, and then giving up those who are beyond one's ability to achieve one's previous goal - hero."

Emiya Shirou easily said and saw everything.

That's what Archer has been doing since he gained power.

"Kill, save, betray, die."

In just four words, you can describe the hell that Archer has fallen into.

Even if you don't want to, you have to kill, and even if you give up, your body will act on its own as if it were cursed.

"You're disgusted, so you want to get out of this hell, or you don't want me to go down the same path as you, right?"

Emiya Shirou slowly turned around and looked behind him, and the figure appeared at some point.

"Why, after seeing such a scene, do you want to teach me a lesson? Or, after witnessing these cruelties, you still dream of that ridiculous dream?

In order to save more people, trample on the dreams and lives of others.

How many times, how many times, no matter how many crises, they will grit their teeth and fight, maintain their broken existence for such a ridiculous thing as 'righteous partners', and then grieve again and again for people who have nothing to do with them.

has been meaningless and stubborn, and finally turned into a point where it doesn't matter even if you kill innocent people? ”

A sarcastic voice came from the mouth of the red knight.

No matter how many deliverances he makes, there will always be new strife that draws him forward.

There are countless of them, and as long as humans exist, they will not be extinct in any way.

This is because human beings are creatures that have been imprinted with violence, lust, and plunder, which are the causes of war, since birth.

"The so-called 'justice' is just a balance to measure the number of human beings, once it is tilted, justice is where it lies, even so, do you still have to hold on to that ridiculous dream?"

The cold eyes were projected on Emiya Shirou, and Archer frowned.

Emiya Shirou only turned slightly, looking at what looked like hell.

"When you save one side, you must abandon one side, and there must be something that you can't save."

What I knew before learning magic became even more profound when I saw Archer's memory.

Deception, betrayal, endless reincarnation.

It didn't matter, because the dream in his heart kept the existence of the name 'Emiya Shirou', and he believed that what he did would definitely make some people happy.

As long as someone can be happy, then their pain is worth it.

But he doesn't have time to witness the happiness of those who are saved, and after completing one mission, he must move on to the location of the next one.

The good things have been far away from him, and it is impossible to appear around himself with blood on his hands.

He loses happiness and even the qualification to witness it.

It doesn't matter.

He didn't act because he wanted to be thanked.

Go ahead, kill, kill.

When the world needs to be saved, he descends as a guardian and pulls the bowstring to hit the target.

Gradually, the smile is gone, the hope is gone, the dream is trampled, and even the hatred is no longer there.

Well, resentful of whom?

The world entrusted by this body?

Someone who causes their own suffering?

Or is it the self that has had ridiculous dreams and persevered to where it is today?

During the long slaughter, Emiya Shirou became numb, and despair grew in his heart.

Emiya Shirou became the Valhalla Palace.

Then, he finally discovers that whether it is killing, equality, happiness, these things are meaningless, because human beings will always repeat the mistakes of the past.

The so-called 'partners of justice' are only the most ridiculous and tragic wishes that will never be fulfilled.

The dream that he had always insisted on, the only belief left, also betrayed him.

"What you say makes a lot of sense."

Emiya Shirou had to admit that even if he wanted to refute it, he couldn't help but agree with what the other party said, because what Archer said was all right.

But the eyes of Keemiya Shirou did not waver.

While he acknowledges Archer, he also denies the other party.

"Someday, I'll follow in your footsteps, but there are some things, if I don't do them, who else will!?"

The illusion is the product of the fusion of the consciousnesses of the two people, and if it was what Archer hoped for, then now, it is Emiya Shirou's turn to show Archer something.

The origin of the dream called 'Partners of Justice'.

Karmic fire, burning the earth.

Everything was scorched to earth, tall buildings collapsed, corpses were burned to charcoal, and hell gates hung in the sky like a black moon, from which evil thoughts poured out, and among them, a young man walked, struggling to survive.

"This is what you have forgotten."

————————————

"Theoretically speaking, the young man of the palace and Archer only have a difference in the time point of existence, and the two séances coincide, and there will be no danger, after all, they are one, and even the magic circuit is the same, and it is impossible for the soul to rush."

Bai Hua pinched his chin and analyzed seriously.

The atmosphere, driven by Bai Hua, became very dignified.

Of course, it would be more perfect if the invisible sword that was hanging around his neck was removed.

"Theoretically speaking, as the same person, they will not have the consciousness of the young man of the palace being replaced by Archer, at most, there are some more memories in their minds that do not belong to them, and their temperament has changed a little."

The invisible sword trembled, cutting a shallow mark on Bai Hua's neck.

At that moment, Bai Hua's tone quickened slightly.

"Theoretically speaking, the séance technique is perfect, most of the dangers have been eliminated, and those that cannot be eliminated have been minimized, and the opening of the magic circuit of the young man of the palace is the best proof of the success of the technique."

The magic that enveloped the invisible sword seemed to be disordered, and the breeze that stinged the skin blew.

"Theoretically, as allies, Saber shouldn't point a sword at me like this."

Saber furrowed his eyebrows, and the sparkle in his eyes was even worse.

Rin Tosaka, who had already given up treatment in general and was in a state of salted fish, suddenly got up in spirit.

I have to say that the prefix 'theoretically' really makes people irritated, and Rin Tosaka, whose mentality has reached the brink of explosion, is even more annoyed.

"Oh, huh? Theoretically, I should have Saber hack you bastard right now, and theoretically, I shouldn't trust you unreliable guy! ”

“······”

Bai Hua wisely closed his mouth.

Rin Tosaka's mood has become more unstable.

"Oh my God, what kind of madness did I have to believe your nonsense, what is the need to increase my combat power, I actually expect a third-rate magician like Shirou to win the combat power of the Servant level?" The girl clutched her head with a broken face.

At this moment, Emiya Shirou, who had been screaming, suddenly said a word.

"As a ······ The sword is made ······"
