Shirou Emiya doesn't want to work overtime

Almost at the same time, a simple knight's sword with a sacred aura appeared in Archer's hand.

"clang----!"

Amid the deafening clashes, strong winds exploded like explosive waves.

However, before Shirou Emiya could make any move, a knight's sword with various colors and bright golden light appeared beside him instantly.

"Pfft——!"

With a tearing sound of flesh and sparks bursting out, the knight's sword with various colors and glittering golden light tore through the evil spirit and instantly cut open Shirou Emiya's flesh.

Feeling the pain coming from his abdomen, Emiya Shirou turned the sword without any hesitation, slashed downwards, and stuck the long sword that had cut through the armor and cut into his body.

At this moment, Archer's third attack came.

A strange long sword burning with flames and as red as the sun also appeared from Archer's hand at the moment the sword cut into his body.

"Bang--!"

The strange long sword burning with flames also cut through the sky, slashing fiercely at Shirou Emiya.

Moon Sea to Sword (Extra Link)

The continuous projection of the three swords of Durandal, Jiavayus, and Meteor Iron is used to create a powerful three-hit combo.

It is supposed to be a powerful three-hit combo performed by continuously projecting Durandal, Joyeuse, and Excalibur, the three holy swords of Europe.

However, Archer's speed of projecting Excalibur was not that fast, and he could not complete such a powerful set of three combos in a very short time, so he replaced the third sword with the weapon Nero made himself, the Meteor Iron. Tao.

Chapter 656: The Difficult Password Key Obtaining

The weapon that broke through Shirou Emiya's armor was named Juvaius, one of the three holy swords in Europe. It was the sword of Charlemagne, king of the Carolingian dynasty of the Frank Kingdom in the epic narrative poem "The Song of Roland".

It is said that the color of the sword changes 30 times a day, and its blade is said to be the tip of the spear of Longinus that pierced the body of Jesus Christ after his death.

"Bang--!"

The meteorite iron pole burning with fierce flames slashed heavily on Shirou Emiya's armor. In an instant, a storm broke out around Shirou Emiya.

Under the instantaneous explosion of moves brought about by these three Noble Phantasms, Emiya Shirou suddenly turned into a missile and flew backwards behind him at extremely fast speeds.

"Trace on"

Archer's eyes were full of calmness. If anything, fighting without any restrictions on the Noble Phantasm is his true strength.

Along with his words, a giant blade, one black and one white, instantly appeared in his hand.

It can be clearly seen that these two weapons are very similar to the general Mo Xie, but they are also very different.

Not only in terms of body shape, but also as if it has undergone multiple layers of transformation to become this form.

Facing Emiya Shirou who flew backwards in front of him, Archer didn't hesitate at all and threw the two swords in his hands forward.

The moment Emiya Shirou crashed through several walls and came to a standstill, the two giant blades chasing him immediately arrived and slashed away hard.

Then————

"boom--!"

Violent explosions carrying thick smoke came from a distance.

【3】

The third round also came to an end.

The moment he saw this number, Archer stopped his hands that continued to attack, and turned into a crimson phantom, speeding towards Kishinami Hakuno and Tohsaka Rin who were fighting in the distance. go.

"It's so difficult—!"

Seeing Archer flying towards his position in the distance, Tohsaka Rin immediately stopped what he was doing and moved towards Shirou Emiya's position.

"What a risk——!"

Watching Rin Tosaka leave, Hakuno Kishinami covered his injured right arm and looked at Archer with a thankful expression.

"You are already very good for being able to persist under her hands for so long!"

Archer expressed his admiration to Hakuno Kishinami without hesitation.

From being confused at the beginning to now being able to face Rin Tohsaka and Hakuno Kishinami alone, Archer has always watched.

As for the reason why Tohsaka Rin felt a little troubled, Archer also had some guesses.

Under normal circumstances, although normal magic can be performed through the constructed magic circuit, in this computer world, magicians will design and create codes in advance, and design some computer spells that can be activated directly through magic.

However, each magician has a limited number of pre-designed computer spells based on his or her own abilities, basically only 2-3.

Hakuno Kishinami, however, has the ability to use a variety of computer techniques.

Under such circumstances, Kishinami Hakuno used various computer techniques he had learned to reluctantly resist Tohsaka Rin's attack.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with the fact that Emiya Shirou has not recovered from Tohsaka Rin's injuries.

"We have already obtained the second code key. Now we just need to go back to rest and wait for the decisive battle -"

Following Archer's words, he and Hakuno Kishinami quickly left the place.

"Crack-!"

In the ruined hall, amidst the constant piles of rubble, a man in silver dragon-shaped armor lifted up the surrounding rubble and slowly stood up.

The armor was quickly removed.

At this time, Emiya Shirou's whole body was almost covered with bright red blood, and his body became even more tattered and miserable.

Under the influence of the breathing method, Emiya Shirou quickly stopped the blood seeping out of his abdomen.

"Emiya!!!"

In front, Tohsaka Rin trotted over with a worried look on his face, and quickly supported Emiya Shirou, who was a little shaken.

"I, it's okay——"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sweetness surged into his throat.

"Ahem—!"

Blood coughed out of Shirou Emiya's mouth.

Severe pain also hit Emiya Shirou's nerves at this moment.

It is not only pain from the body, but also pain from the soul.

The injuries on his body were not just from Archer's attacks these days, but also the backlash caused by the evil spirits haunting him.

This armor can provide the user with great strength, and even has the defense power of an iron wall, but it places a great burden on the wearer, and ordinary people will die if they wear it.

And now that this set of armor has evolved so many times in succession, the burden on the wearer is no longer comparable to what it was before.

Emiya Shirou has never tried to wear two evil spirits. That's because he understands that if he dares to wear two evil spirits, he will die in less than a blink of an eye.

Previously, under the terrifying healing power of Avalon, Shirou Emiya could almost dismiss the side effects of this equipment as nothing, not to mention that his physical fitness was sufficient to support the use of this equipment.

But the current situation cannot be the same.

The body has been injured like this, and being haunted by evil spirits like this is tantamount to asking for death.

Those shocking wounds would only be torn open again and again by the evil spirits.

Every time the battle ends, Emiya Shirou will become a bloody man.

"Excuse me, Tohsaka."

Looking at Tohsaka Rin who quickly trotted up to him and put his shoulder around him, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but express his gratitude to Tohsaka Rin from the bottom of his heart.

He is not too weak to fight. It is even said that if Archer attacks again, Emiya Shirou still has the ability to continue fighting with him for several rounds.

If the opponent was only as good as the monsters in the arena, Shirou Emiya felt that he could even fight for several days in a row like a servant.

A decisive battle is about to begin, so naturally you can save a little energy, just save a little.

His current recovery is basically relying on the holy remains, Sakura's information, and the unlicensed magician flying around.

"Fortunately, I finally got the second code key——!"

Looking at the somewhat weak Emiya Shirou, Tohsaka Rin couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This was not the second time they fought with Archer, but the third time.

Kishinami Hakuno considered this issue, and Tohsaka Rin instantly realized that she could not treat Emiya Shirou like her own servant.

She had to think about Emiya Shirou's injury.

So after discussion, they gave up on seizing the opportunity. Avoid too many battles, which may worsen injuries and lead to loss of life before the decisive battle.

Because of this, when he first went to look for the second code key, he had no chance of being found by Archer and did not get the case number key.

This triggered the third conflict.

With Archer being prepared in advance, Emiya Shirou could not avoid such a battle, and there was no way to distance himself in advance.

Chapter 657 Kiss

The night gradually began to pass.

At one end of the sky, dawn slowly descended, causing traces of white light to appear on the horizon, slowly dispersing the night sky.

Soon after, when daylight comes, the decisive battle will officially begin.

On the rooftop of Tsukiumihara Academy.

Two figures stood quietly behind the fence, taking in the entire school's scenery.

Under the reddish light from the sky, the empty playground reflected a faint light, making the originally silent school appear mysterious.

"Unconsciously, it has already reached the fifth round of battle."

Standing in front of Emiya Shirou, Tohsaka Rin looked at the empty playground below and spoke slowly.

"You only need to win three games, Emiya, to get the Holy Grail."

“It feels so within reach and yet so far away.”

As he spoke, Tohsaka Rin walked forward slowly, his hands slightly clasped on the mesh fence surrounded by wire in front of him.

The breeze also blew slowly from a distance at this time, gently caressing Tohsaka Rin's face.

She knew very well what she was worried about.

Leo has been defeated, and her purpose of participating in this Holy Grail War has been completed.

Tohsaka Rin doesn't care about the so-called universal wishing machine. The only thing that makes her care about now is that one thing.

"Time moves forward, no matter what the final result is, we have to accept it."

Listening to Tohsaka Rin's words, Emiya Shirou, who was standing behind him, also responded.

"You are really open-minded. It would be great if you could pay more attention to your life."

Tohsaka Rin couldn't help but smile bitterly. After just getting along with him for more than a month, she had already understood Shirou Emiya's character thoroughly.

He is upright, simple in character, serious and consistent in his work. Foolish, clumsy, idealist.

"To be honest, I haven't asked you yet, what is your wish?"

Seeing the silent Emiya Shirou, Tohsaka Rin of course understood Emiya Shirou's stubbornness, and also knew that making Emiya Shirou value his life would not be achieved overnight.

He just coughed slightly and changed the topic.

"Do you wish? Become a partner of justice."

Emiya Shirou did not choose to avoid it. This was his wish and the weight he carried.

"No, no, no, although your wish is indeed surprising, but what I mean is, what wish would you make if you really obtained the Holy Grail."

Tohsaka Rin shook his head in surprise.

But, a partner in justice?

It is indeed very suitable for the man named Shirou Emiya in front of me.

Tohsaka Rin nodded with some approval.
