The boy seemed to have heard what Emiya Shirou said and paused slightly.
Then he became determined again.
"Why?"
"Why am I?"
"To survive such a hell—"
“Snap! Snap! Snap!”
The collision of stones caused a crisp sound in the ruins. It was not the sound of the building collapsing, but the sound made by someone lifting the stones on the ground.
The all-consuming flames covered every corner around, causing the entire ruins to slowly burn and the smell of gunpowder smoke to fill the air.
In one of the corners of such ruins, a man in a black windbreaker was walking through the ruins with heavy steps, step by step, his eyes full of despair.
He seemed to have gone crazy, constantly rummaging through the ruins.
"How could I forget!"
"How could I forget!"
"That wish to overthrow hell!"
"That wish that clearly wanted to be a strength to others, but ended up accomplishing nothing, that unfulfilled wish!"
He shouldn't stop here, and he won't stop here.
"I want to be a partner of justice!!!"
Chapter 677: Sudden Changes in the World
“Just a little more———!”
"Wait—I—will be right over—!"
"Please don't--forget--yourself!!! Emiya--!"
It was a female voice, a female voice that Emiya Shirou had somewhat forgotten but remembered very clearly.
"Ruler! Thank you!"
Looking at the Command Seals flashing on the back of his hand, which were dim to the point of almost losing their luster, Shirou Emiya's eyes changed from ignorant to mature.
A frustrated female voice seemed to appear in the void, seeming to scold Shirou Emiya for his behavior and regretting his actions.
At this time, Shirou Emiya slowly lowered his hand that was on the door handle.
At the same time, the door slowly disappeared as if blending into the void.
As time passed, or as his strength grew, Shirou Emiya's use of this door became more and more extensive.
Compared to the previous situation where he could only be forcibly moved by the door, now Shirou Emiya can not only adjust the location where the door appears, but also make the door appear earlier or later.
"Now, it's not time to leave--!"
Shirou Emiya looked at the bustling street outside and took a very steady step forward.
However, before Shirou Emiya could do any investigation, the world began to fuse.
“Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!”
The sky seemed to shatter and began to fall towards the ground.
Countless snow-like things began to swallow the bright red sky at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The pedestrians around were like a computer program with a bug. All kinds of garbled characters began to appear on their bodies, and then disappeared.
The moment Emiya Shirou left the alley, the world began to undergo extremely terrifying changes.
"Why, you remembered it so early, why don't you give me more time, why do I always fail at the last minute like this!"
The female voice sounded from the void once again, and then the angry voice was cut off in an instant.
"The time limit has expired. Notify all intelligent life forms in this world." A soft and cute girl's voice sounded from the air.
"This is sad news. The worldview you have had until now has collapsed." This was a somewhat sharp female voice.
If there were any similarities, to Emiya Shirou it sounded like one person speaking in two tones alternately.
“It was a price collapse caused by inflation”
"You were sold out along with the Holy Grail War."
"You are worthless things--!"
As the words came to an end, Emiya Shirou felt as if his vision was filled with something, and he felt extremely anxious.
The scarlet and pitch-black substance began to swallow up Shirou Emiya from afar.
The surrounding ground also began to show black and purple tentacle-like substances.
"What exactly is this mutation?"
"call out--!"
Before Shirou Emiya could think any longer, the tentacle-like vines that rose from the ground seemed to have discovered his trace and began to shoot towards him.
It pierced through the air at a terrifying speed in an instant, making an extremely violent sound of breaking through the air.
"boom--!"
"What on earth are these!?"
By slightly turning his body, Shirou Emiya easily dodged the terrifying attack, then turned around and ran to the other side of the street.
Although the situation developed extremely quickly, it would be impossible for there to be no clues at all.
Just from the words he heard on the radio and the fact that such a strange change occurred when he recalled everything he had experienced, Emiya Shirou had a preliminary judgment in his mind.
These things were directed at him, otherwise they would not have appeared like a tide at the moment when Emiya Shirou regained his memory.
“Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!! What the hell are these? What the hell is going on! Rider! RIder——!”
At this moment, shouting came from the side of the street.
That was Shinji's voice.
Without even thinking, Shirou Emiya kicked the ground hard and rushed towards the place where the sound came from like a storm.
Even if the person making this voice was a stranger, Emiya Shirou would rush over without hesitation, not to mention that it was someone he knew - Matou Shinji.
"Why are you here!!!"
Shinji Matou, who was running, saw Shirou Emiya suddenly appear in front of him. He couldn't help but exclaimed and stopped immediately.
He instantly forgot that he was being attacked by objects rising from the ground.
"Keep your head down—!"
Seeing Shinji Matou who was suddenly stunned, Shirou Emiya immediately shouted at him without stopping his hands. He stretched out his hand and pressed down hard on Shinji's head.
"call out--!"
The pitch-black vine pierced the air again with an extremely ominous color and passed by Emiya Shirou's cheek.
"You bastard! Don't think you can act recklessly just because you beat me!!"
Shinji Matou almost stumbled and fell to the ground. He stood up with great difficulty and then stared at Shirou Emiya with wide eyes.
"Run first!"
Shirou Emiya did not explain. In such an urgent moment, he only had time to shout out two words.
Shinji Matou seemed to understand what he meant. He immediately raised his foot and ran forward without even looking back at the approaching black wave.
You have to know that Shinji Matou is not like Shirou Emiya. He does not have Shirou Emiya's quick reaction ability and athletic ability that can rival that of a Heroic Spirit.
Being able to survive under such circumstances is already a huge miracle.
"Ha! Ha! If you hadn't appeared, I would have already--Ha! Ha! Dodged!"
While running, Shinji Matou was panting and yelling at Shirou Emiya with some anger.
"Shinji why are you here, shouldn't you be joining a club at school right now?"
Emiya Shirou did not respond to Matou Shinji's accusations. He just couldn't speak because of his pride, and he ended up speaking like this in such an awkward situation.
After all, Shinji Matou has always been like this since junior high school.
"I, when I was in the club, Matou Sakura came to see you, and then I remembered that I don't have a sister."
It's very simple. After all, having a younger sister has always been a wish of Shinji Matou, but he does not have a younger sister.
In this conflict, Shinji Matou quickly awakened his memory as a magician.
It can even be said that judging from this conversation, Shinji Matou should remember all the memories after that battle, rather than starting over with no memories of the original choice.
"Then I wanted to see if you hadn't woken up yet. I found out that you had just left, so I walked towards the hospital, thinking that if you hadn't woken up yet, I would laugh at you. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing!"
Chapter 678 You are a true genius
Well, this is very Shinji.
At least Emiya Shirou couldn't think of any reason to refute it, because this was indeed what Matou Shinji would do.
Even if Toosaka Rin came, it would be taken for granted.
The howling wind swept through the deserted street, and the black substance like ocean waves swallowed up everything. Even the hundreds-meter-high buildings turned into nothingness in an instant, which was extremely impactful.
On such a street, two figures are speeding forward.
No, it should not be said to be galloping, because the figure in the front was not moving very fast. His speed had slowed down due to the previous full-speed running.
However, even if he ran at full speed, he was still extremely slow under the undercurrents that were like huge waves.
"call out--!"
Pitch-black tentacles began to surge from the wall at the side and flew towards the exhausted Matou Shinji.
Even if Shinji Matou had never experienced such a long-distance run, he would not be able to dodge such an attack.
Especially in such an exhausted state.
But under the threat to his life, how could Shinji Matou not want to live?
Help!
Help!
Shinji Matou could only scream in his heart, but he could only watch as the tentacles pierced through the air and flew towards him.
Am I going to die?
This thought only flashed through Matou Shinji's mind for a moment, and a red figure broke Matou Shinji's despair at that moment.
He only felt a force coming from his side, and then he collapsed to the ground.
The tentacle pierced straight through Shirou Emiya's abdomen.
"Emiya!!!!!!"
At the moment when Shinji Matou shouted, the tentacles on the wall exploded again, madly shooting towards Shirou Emiya who had been pierced.
"Stop it!"
Shinji Matou's hands instantly pounded wildly in the air, and several distorted data appeared in front of the direction of the attacks, immediately appearing to block them.
"Trace on"
The black and white swords appeared in Shirou Emiya's hands, and they quickly cut off the tentacles that pierced his body.
But that darkness has already begun to invade Shirou Emiya's body.
A pitch-black substance could be seen spreading from the area pierced by Emiya Shirou.
Shirou Emiya half-knelt on the ground, sweat beginning to appear on his forehead.
He is extremely weak now.
"Get out! Get out of here! Your weak body will only be a burden to me!"
The angry words came out viciously from Matou Shinji's mouth.
