If one were to ask why Julius paid so much attention to himself, it was probably because he found a similarity in himself.
A similarity that Julius had never felt from anyone else.
That similarity of risking everything for a promise, for an obsession.
Chapter 628: Are You Qualified to Hold That Sword?
"No matter what, my brother has been taken care of by you. I would like to thank you on his behalf."
After hearing these words, even Toosaka Rin didn't know how to start.
At this moment, Leo was so noble, so noble that it made people feel uncomfortable.
"And, I'm looking forward to fighting you this time--!"
"Zheng——!"
Under the sunlight, a faint white light appeared in front of Emiya Shirou and Toosaka Rin.
Gawain, who was standing in front of Leo, was tall and straight. He slowly drew out his sword and looked at Emiya Shirou with a very steady look.
Even though he possesses the [Number of a Saint], Gawain will not underestimate any Servant or opponent.
In particular, Shirou Emiya is a person who fought against Servants with his own strength and reached the Fourth Battle.
"Draw your sword, those who attack the glory of my Lord——!"
Facing the provocation from Gawain, Shirou Emiya, who was haunted by evil spirits, also slowly walked forward.
Toosaka Rin looked at Leo who didn't move, and quietly retreated to a corner, holding the terminal tightly in her hand, ready to notify Matou Shinji at any time.
"Trace on"
As Emiya Shirou finished his words, a long sword that was surging with hatred as if stained with bright red blood, and a long sword surrounded by a steel glow as if descending from the sky appeared in his left and right hands at the same time.
"The brilliant and shining royal sword!!!"
"Sword of Promised Victory!!!"
"Why, why do you have these two weapons!!"
Seeing the gold and red knight swords in Emiya Shirou's hands, Gawain's brows were tightly locked together.
Although his expression did not seem to be too fluctuating on the surface, in fact, his heart was already filled with waves like the sea.
He thought that Shirou Emiya might have some connection with my king.
But I never thought that Shirou Emiya possessed these two weapons.
Of course, what shocked Gawain the most was the Sword of Contract Victory.
When the sword appeared in Shirou Emiya's hand, he even subconsciously ignored the other sword that caused the rebellious knight.
"Although they are just some small tricks, I hope they can be helpful in the battle instead of having a counter-effect!"
Toosaka Rin retreated to the corner and looked at Emiya Shirou who projected the two weapons and spoke slowly.
In a head-on confrontation with Gawain, even if he does not have the protection granted by the [Number of the Saint], Emiya Shirou must release his magic power in order to fight him.
Otherwise, he could only avoid close combat as much as possible, just like he did with Cu Chulainn and Li Shuwen.
After all, facing them, Shirou Emiya would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage in a long close combat.
But this maze does not allow Shirou Emiya to distance himself.
In order to release magic power, Emiya Shirou must rely on the amplification effect of the Brilliant King Sword.
Shirou Emiya's way of releasing magic power is different from the normal way. He uses the amplification effect of his weapon to allow the amplified magic power to flow throughout his body to achieve the enhanced effect.
However, the normal release of magic power is to strengthen weapons and body by releasing magic power from oneself.
In terms of relationship, they are opposite, and there is also a gap in the effects achieved.
At least Emiya Shirou's magic power release cannot be compared with Mordred's.
As a Knight of the Round Table, it is impossible for Gawain to have no reaction when he saw this weapon.
It can even be said that this will cause her to harbor great hostility towards Shirou Emiya.
This sword is the sword of the knight who started the rebellion.
There is no way Gawain would look favorably upon the person who possesses this sword.
Shirou Emiya did not hide too much from Toosaka Rin and answered most of the questions. As for some things, on the one hand, Shirou Emiya himself was not clear about them, and on the other hand, he really could not say them.
Toosaka Rin also learned that in addition to the brilliant and shining royal sword, Emiya Shirou actually possessed the projection product of the Sword of Contracted Victory.
So after discussion, Toosaka Rin thought that if Emiya Shirou chose to project the Sword of Contract Victory and use Arthur's fighting skills to fight.
Although it could cause the Pure White Sun Knight's heart to waver, the difference in power was simply too great.
It might be difficult to tell the difference between the two for a while when facing Arthur, but facing the weak Shirou Emiya who is using Arthur's sword skills, he will probably be easily defeated.
If the swords simply clash, Emiya Shirou will probably be knocked flying.
However, facing Gawain, who has three times the strength, it is necessary to release magic power.
After the discussion, Toosaka Rin decided that Emiya Shirou would project the two weapons and use his own skills to fight them.
Because even with his magic power released, Emiya Shirou had no way of confronting Gawain head-on.
It was basically the same as when he fought Cu Chulainn, constantly engaging Gawain and separating them, not giving him time for prolonged close combat.
"How on earth did you get that weapon--!"
Gawain stared at Emiya Shirou, trying to get the answer from him.
"If you want to know, defeat me."
I don't know why, but since meeting Cu Chulainn, Shirou Emiya has become accustomed to taunting. He would even taunt his opponents out loud to provoke their emotions.
Even though just a few combat encounters shouldn't change a person's combat habits too much, Emiya Shirou still blamed Cu Chulainn for his taunting.
Obviously, I wasn't so talkative during the previous battle.
At the moment when Emiya Shirou finished speaking.
Gawain closed his eyes slightly, then suddenly opened them. The air around him was instantly filled with an extremely terrifying oppressive force, and a powerful aura suddenly burst out from his body.
Even the yellow sand floating around fell into dust in an instant.
"Then let me try, are you qualified to hold that sword?!"
The moment he finished speaking, Gao Wen's body fell forward.
Realizing something, Shirou Emiya immediately retreated violently, and red lightning instantly exploded on his body.
"Boom--!"
The ground shattered in an instant, and Gawain shot towards Emiya Shirou like a bullet. The terrifying explosive power made the surrounding space tremble at this moment.
Under the powerful force, Gawain's instantaneous speed also increased significantly.
"choke!"
The clear sound of a sword suddenly rang out in the air, drawing a long sword light, like a silver moon cutting through the sky and slashing down.
"Qiang!"
With a crisp sound of collision, the sharp knight's sword cut through the air, and like a flash of light, it chopped down heavily on Shirou Emiya's head.
Amid the bursting sparks and the slashing of the azure sword, Shirou Emiya held the two knight swords, one gold and one red, in front of himself.
Then, a terrifying force that could not be ignored came from his hands. With both swords in front of him, Shirou Emiya slid his feet hard on the ground, leaving two grooves.
Chapter 629: The So-Called Hell Combo
When he stopped, Shirou Emiya could already feel his hands holding the sword starting to go numb.
Toosaka Rin on the side was also watching this scene very nervously, and staring at Leo, trying to prevent him from giving support to Gawain at all times.
Leo is also able to possess the power to provide servants with combat like himself.
Although she was confident that she could defeat Leo head-on, as the most perfect designer baby of the Harvey family, Toosaka Rin did not think she could quickly get rid of Leo in a short period of time.
Facing a strong enemy like Leo, it is impossible for Toosaka Rin to be distracted and pay attention to the battle situation on Emiya Shirou's side.
She is already a loser, and her current goal is not to stop Leo, but to assist Shirou Emiya in stopping Leo.
“Ms. Toosaka, there’s no need to look at me so warily. Although Emiya-kun’s progress is extremely surprising, Gawain’s strength is even stronger than you think. Even if I don’t attack, Emiya-kun won’t be able to survive a few rounds in Gawain’s hands—!”
Looking at Toosaka Rin who was standing not far from him, Leo spoke in a gentle voice, and Toosaka Rin didn't even feel any hostility from Leo.
Now Toosaka Rin is the loser and has lost the threat to Leo in this Holy Grail War.
What's more, even if Toosaka Rin is still a contestant, Leo will not show hostility towards her, because the winner will only be him.
"As expected of the Sun Knight, with the sun hanging high in the sky, his power is so great—!"
Shirou Emiya shook his numb arms, and his eyes became more serious as he looked at Gawain. With just one blow, Shirou Emiya could imagine how difficult he was.
"Thank you for the compliment."
Gawain didn't hesitate to put the sword in front of himself again, the fighting spirit bursting out of him did not diminish in the slightest.
"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you're going to be eliminated here--!"
"Snapped!"
The next moment, Gawain crushed the floor and his figure turned into a black shadow and rushed out violently.
In his hand, the silver knight sword flashed with the luster of the sun. Under the owner's wielding, it turned into a sharp sword light, like a thunderbolt, slashing forward mercilessly.
"choke!"
The sword that was invisible to the naked eye suddenly slashed down, and with a clearly audible sword chant, the long sword shining with the light of the sun once again collided with the shoulders in Emiya Shirou's hands.
"Qiang!"
With a sound like steel colliding with steel, Shirou Emiya, who was holding two swords tightly, sank his body, and the scarlet lightning flashing all over his body suddenly stopped.
Then————
"Buzz!"
Magic power immediately surged from Emiya Shirou's body towards the two knight swords in his hands, and strands of golden lines crawled from Emiya Shirou's neck towards his face.
Before Gao Wen showed any surprise, light instantly flooded into his eyes.
He immediately felt an extremely heavy hammer in his hand, and his arm also trembled slightly. At this moment, a strong gust of wind exploded in front of Gawain.
It flew several meters away and then landed steadily on the ground.
In front of Gawain, golden and red lights intertwined in Emiya Shirou's hands. Intense magic power swirled around the two knight swords in his hands, rubbing against the air and vibrating towards the surroundings.
Everything around was disturbed by these two magical powers.
What sent Gawain flying was not the sudden increase in strength from Shirou Emiya, but the violent surge of magical power that erupted from the two knight swords.
It is not an easy task to use these two weapons to firmly suppress the amplified and intense magic power on the sword.
On the one hand, it requires a very high level of mastery of these two weapons with amplification effects.
On the other hand, it requires a very strong grasp of magic power to be able to do this.
Although Shirou Emiya's control over weapons has not reached the pinnacle level, it is enough for him to utilize this ability.
As for magic power, it is able to suppress his own magic power that makes its presence felt so that all the magicians in the city cannot ignore it.
It can even be said that in the constant battles, Shirou Emiya constantly made full use of his already scarce magic power, which is enough to show that Shirou Emiya also has full control over his own magic power.
Only in this way can Shirou Emiya keep the magic power firmly under control on the sword.
But even so, the consumption of magic power is extremely terrifying.
Given the current situation, even with the magic power supplied by Toosaka Rin, Emiya Shirou would not be able to fight for more than a few minutes.
But what Shirou Emiya has to do now is not to survive in Gawain's hands, but to fight with him and seriously injure him at the critical moment, at the moment when the light goes black.
Also, because Shirou Emiya releases magic power through weapons, he cannot, like Mordred, concentrate magic power on the knight's sword and use it to strengthen himself at the same time.
"Being able to master those two weapons to such an extent, it seems that you have some skills!"
With a slightly shocked look in his eyes, Gawain looked at the golden light flashing in Emiya Shirou's hand, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration in his heart.
