In other words, no matter whether Shirou Emiya wins this battle or not, he will not be able to reach the sixth battle.
This is the last rays of his life.
"But I should also respond to your expectation of fighting, right?"
"Bam—!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Emiya Shirou, who was possessed by evil spirits, quickly stepped on the ground and rushed towards the pouring rain of swords without any retreat.
During the battle till now, facing the rain of swords falling from the sky, Shirou Emiya had hardly performed any projection. It was not that he could not do it, but in order to continue to perform the Infinite Sword System, he had to reduce the number of his projections.
"You guys are really just talking to yourself!"
Archer did not sneer as before, but looked at Emiya Shirou with a surprised expression.
There is no chance of survival but death.
This is a fight to the death.
It can even be said that Archer has already guessed in his mind what the outcome of this battle will be.
Since Shirou Emiya knew that he would die in this battle anyway, there was no way he would end up dying together with Hakuno Kishinami.
"boom--!"
The next moment, Archer disappeared from the spot.
"!"
Emiya Shirou's pupils suddenly shrank.
Then, as if realizing something, he suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky.
A black shadow suddenly appeared in the sky.
"Looking down on me like this! It really makes me a little irritated!"
Even if Shirou Emiya didn't have such a serious condition, Archer wouldn't think that he was inferior to Shirou Emiya.
"laugh--!"
With a violent sound of breaking through the air, the two swords, one black and one white, simultaneously turned into a halo of light, like a crescent moon, slashing downwards, and a hurricane exploded wherever it passed.
"clang--!"
Amid the unusually loud sound of metal clashing and sparks flying in all directions, the powerful force that came down from the sky caused Emiya Shirou, who was standing on the ground, to tremble and his legs involuntarily bent downward.
Blood continued to burst out from all parts of Emiya Shirou's body.
"Standing alone on the top of Sword Hill, bearing the long-cherished wish of all things"
The chanting sound slowly came from in front of Archer.
"This guy! He really seizes every opportunity!"
Archer suddenly felt something was wrong, and Emiya Shirou was forced to retreat violently due to the force that could not be ignored, thus putting some distance between himself and Archer.
“Have withstood pain to create many weapons.”
If Emiya Shirou were to complete the Infinite Sword Works ahead of time, then he would be the one who would be restricted.
Archer also began to chant quickly with cold eyes.
At this time, several gear-shaped shadows were suspended in the sky.
The venue has begun to change.
You have to know that the place where they fought was indoors.
But now, I can clearly see the gray sky in the distance.
Gear-shaped shadows continued to appear in the distant sky.
However------
"!"
At this moment, Archer felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
He didn't think at all. The moment he felt it, he stomped the ground fiercely with his right foot and retreated violently behind him.
"Buzz!"
Amid the trembling sound of space, the space in front of Archer began to shatter, like glass falling piece by piece.
The golden cracks were spreading at an extremely fast speed.
The originally stable space also began to collapse at an extremely fast speed.
And this situation is not limited to the area in front of Archer.
In the space that seemed like nothingness behind Shirou Emiya, space shattered piece by piece.
The inherent barrier had not yet been deployed but it had already begun to collapse, and the condition of Shirou Emiya's soul had further deteriorated.
But this is not the answer to the question Archer is thinking about.
"His sword is devouring!"
At the very beginning, the collision between the two swords drew a very standard dividing line in the middle of the hall.
And now, as the battle progressed, Archer realized that he had retreated to the position that should have been the edge of the hall. Emiya Shirou's swordsmanship was not only eroding the decisive battlefield.
It was even eroding the sword power he had unleashed.
If Emiya Shirou was at his peak at this time, then at the end of the chant, the result would most likely not be a confrontation between the two sword systems, but rather Emiya Shirou's sword system covering Archer's sword system.
But now Archer didn't have any more time to think.
because------
"Forging swords alone"
The chanting sound came from Emiya Shirou who was standing far away on the only isolated island in the void.
The erosion of the broken void also became more obvious.
Archer couldn't help but sweat beads on his forehead. The current situation was still tricky.
It's not that he didn't want to project his Noble Phantasm and attack Emiya Shirou.
At this moment, the two of them seemed to be in a state of clamping each other.
Before the emergence of Infinite Blade Works, it was impossible to quickly project a Noble Phantasm and release its True Name.
“Yet, those hands will never hold anything.”
As Archer finished speaking, the world began to take shape, and the ground began to become as barren as a sand dune.
The gears in the sky also began to gradually reveal their true shapes.
Countless sword arrows were pulled up from the ground and flew towards Shirou Emiya who was standing on the only small island in the void in the distance.
At this moment too————
"Therefore, this body is determined to be made of infinite swords!"
Chant, end.
Hundreds of weapons with unique characteristics suddenly appeared on the originally empty island.
That was the last part of the Noble Phantasm that Shirou Emiya was able to leave behind in the Infinite Sword Works.
Chapter 665: The Clash of Sword Systems
"Therefore, this body is determined to be made of infinite swords."
Like a final struggle, a hoarse voice roared out from Shirou Emiya's throat.
The world instantly shattered before Shirou Emiya's eyes.
Shirou Emiya was like a bottle of shattered ceramic, with the cracks on his face spreading like a spider web.
The golden glow has begun to dim.
Bright red blood continued to flow out from the cracks.
The breath of life began to fade away.
The whole world seemed to be about to wither, and darkness began to swallow up the golden light.
Bloody smell.
Crackling sound.
The world has changed.
The gray void was filled with shadows, and sporadic swords made their last struggle on the island. The dim golden light gradually lost its original color, and the lifeless fog shrouded the last piece of land.
Shirou Emiya stood alone in it, feeling the demise of the world. This was a world where all hope was gone.
"So as I pray, Unlimited Blade Works."
Like an indestructible rock, Archer let out a deep and extremely steady voice.
The world turned upside down before Archer's eyes.
The bleak breeze blew the yellow sand and blew on Archer's weathered face at this moment.
The azure magic power raged over Archer.
The surging fighting spirit continued to erupt from it.
His resolute eyes looked at everything in front of him calmly.
The whole world seemed to have been tempered a thousand times, and one could easily feel the heaviness coming from it.
Smell of rust.
Turning sound.
The world has changed.
On the broken earth, eroded by time, countless broken swords were randomly inserted into the rusty earth. Kak's gears made unwilling low sounds in the space, catering to the setting sun.
Archer stood alone in the center of the world, holding high the twin blades in his hands. This was the end of his ideal.
"Om-!"
Amid the trembling sound of space, the two inherent barriers made an extremely shocking collision at the junction, just like two wild beasts fighting each other, biting and devouring each other, and also blending and reading each other.
The ground was destroyed easily.
The air flow whined as if it was cut off.
The sky seemed to be distorted and shaking.
"Om-!"
The space is still shaking.
A surge of bright red magic power surged up from the spear in Emiya Shirou's hand like a flame, causing waves of air and making the atmosphere chaotic.
A crimson spear appeared in Shirou Emiya's hand at some point.
The magic power on the surface of his body quickly surged toward the red spear in his hand. In just a blink of an eye, the spear began to be covered with layers of extremely rich magic aura.
The spear in his hand suddenly trembled strangely. After a moment, he stomped his foot on the ground and rushed out fiercely like a shadow.
This is the advantage that Shirou Emiya has gained by completing the Infinite Sword Works several seconds earlier than Archer.
Whoever completes the Infinite Sword Works first will be the first to release the Noble Phantasm from the Infinite Sword Works.
The other side only has one option: defense.
"Gáe Bolg!!!"
At this moment, in this instant, Shirou Emiya's roar echoed throughout the space, announcing the name of the magic spear that everyone knew.
"Is there really such a thing?"
Archer's pupils suddenly shrank. When he met Toosaka Rin at Tsukiumihara Academy, he felt a very familiar aura from her.
There were some speculations at that time, and the attitude was basically positive.
Naturally, after knowing that Shirou Emiya defeated Rin Toosaka, he did not think that Shirou Emiya did not project Cu Chulainn's magic spear.
