Those were four swords that shot down from the air like missiles, like bright flashes of light, interweaving with each other.
It shot forward with a sharp sound that pierced through the air.
As if in response to the attack from Emiya Shirou, the smaller [Matou Sakura] showed an extremely disdainful smile.
"It's really different from those insignificant Masters. Such eyes, such strength, and the spirit of not giving up the fight even in such a desperate moment, really makes people happy————!"
With these words, she seemed to not care about the threat of the flying swords and arrows at all. At this moment, on the wall, she was like an extremely good dancer.
The blade-like feet slide on the wall, and the ballet posture is vivid at this moment.
Four flying swords brushed past her body and fell downwards.
"Oh!"
At this moment, a strong wind hit.
The powerful impact instantly created a terrifying airflow, and the air burst out like a storm, causing an explosion.
At this moment, the petite [Matou Sakura] was like a sharp blade, tearing the space apart again, cutting through the atmosphere, and attacking violently with strong gusts of wind.
Speed is simply not something that can be easily captured by the human eye.
Even the air wailed under the astonishingly fast strike.
If a normal magician faced this attack, he would be cut in half in an instant.
At this moment, Jeanne was holding Kiara Sesshōin in one hand, and holding the flag in the other hand as she fought against the larger figure [Matou Sakura] falling from above. She was completely unable to provide any support to Shirou Emiya.
There is only one Command Seal left in Shirou Emiya's hand. In this world, losing the last Command Seal does not mean that you cannot control your Servants, but that you will directly lose the qualification to participate in the Holy Grail War. The result given by Mooncell is direct annihilation.
However, Emiya Shirou did something that no one present could have imagined.
"Sakura! Hold on tight!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Emiya Shirou loosened his hands that were clenched against the wall, and his whole body fell directly towards the petite [Matou Sakura] below.
"Trace on"
"choke!"
Amid the clear singing sound that turned into an echo, a cold sword light like a white beam of light instantly shot out from the sky, turning into a sword light falling from the sky and landing fiercely on the attacking sharp blade.
"clang--!"
At this moment, the collision of the slashing blows caused a neat and orderly sound of metal clashing.
The two pieces of steel collided extremely violently, and the sound of the collision like bells turned into a wave of impact, completely shaking between Emiya Shirou and that [Matou Sakura].
"Boom--!"
The storm exploded and turned into an astonishing impact wave, sweeping around.
“Master——!”
Joan of Arc wanted to leap over to provide support, but the mechanical claws that could crush everything completely cut off her path.
"Please, please don't go over there-!"
In such a rapid fall, Shirou Emiya, who was holding Sakura Matou in his arms, was impacted and instantly disappeared from Jeanne's sight along with her.
"I'm starting to like you a little bit now--!!!"
Seeing Emiya Shirou showing no fear at all and holding Matou Sakura in his arms with one hand while struggling with his own feet, he felt happy from the bottom of his heart.
Such a will and such a look made her extremely obsessed.
Violent sparks collided and burst out from the confrontation between the two.
His hands had begun to crack due to such a violent collision, and blood was constantly splattering from them, falling on the grinning face of [Matou Sakura], making it look even bloodier.
At this moment, what Shirou Emiya held in his hand was a knight's sword with a silver blade and a hilt that seemed to be inlaid with gems. The whole sword was filled with the color of miracles.
Durandal, also known as the Indestructible Supreme Saint.
The immortal and indestructible holy sword is as famous as Excalibur, and its blade is indestructible, which means "the indestructible blade".
Even under such a horrific collision, the weapon did not shatter at all.
"What a shame, our clash is about to end! It looks like that woman has dealt with her business!"
The moment she finished speaking, a soft and gentle hand brushed Emiya Shirou's face very gently from the side.
It was as if his consciousness was suddenly restricted. An extremely strong sense of sleepiness swept over him at this moment, and moist breath blew out from his ears.
"Senior, just sleep peacefully, I will arrange everything for you——!"
Fighting back the urge to glare, Shirou Emiya slowly turned his head to look to the side.
It was a face that was exactly the same as Matou Sakura's.
Chapter 691 [Prison]
Consciousness was restored.
Shirou Emiya felt as if he had slept for a very, very long time.
He had never slept so deeply before, and all the accumulated fatigue was swept away in an instant.
The never-ending pain in his body and soul, or the fact that he had become more alert to his surroundings when he slept after growing up, made it impossible for Shirou Emiya to fall asleep as defenselessly as before.
But this time, the sleep made Shirou Emiya feel unprecedented comfort, as if someone was bearing such pain and anxiety for him.
However, now is not the time to feel comfortable.
Emiya Shirou slowly opened his eyes and looked around.
This is a room.
A wooden room.
The room was extremely simple, so simple that it seemed somewhat familiar to Shirou Emiya.
"Is this my own bedroom?"
As for the layout of this room, Shirou Emiya was too familiar with it. He could tell at a glance that it was arranged according to the bedroom in his memory.
To explain why Shirou Emiya didn't think of himself as having returned to his original world at first.
On the one hand.
The door has been calling me, and has been pulling me to leave here.
From another perspective.
“Senior——!”
At this time, Sakura Matou was sitting on a chair, lying on Shirou Emiya and also fell asleep deeply, muttering something softly.
His originally purple hair has begun to turn slightly gray, making people even more worried about his physical condition.
However, Shirou Emiya himself did not seem to have the qualifications to worry about others, because his hair turned from red to white due to excessive consumption of his own life.
As if sensing that Shirou Emiya had awakened, Sakura, who was sleeping with her head resting on Shirou Emiya's body, immediately woke up.
"Yes, I'm sorry, Senpai! You're an advanced AI, but you just fell asleep like that!"
Looking at Shirou Emiya who had just woken up, Sakura Matou looked a little flustered.
"I'm fine. But Sakura, your hair—?"
"Senior, don't worry. I am just an advanced AI responsible for managing the health of the Master. If there is a problem, Mooncell will replace me and can perfectly replace my function--"
Hearing Emiya Shirou's concern, Matou Sakura felt a warm current flowing through her heart for some reason.
And just like before, an extremely familiar feeling came over me.
But as if thinking of her own identity, Sakura Matou lowered her head sadly again.
“How can it be irrelevant——!”
Seeing Sakura Matou's sad expression and her sneering tone towards him, Shirou Emiya immediately turned around, clapped his hands on her shoulders, scolded her harshly, his eyes fixed on Sakura Matou.
Sakura Matou was also frightened by Shirou Emiya's sudden change in attitude. Her whole body straightened up and, in the morning breeze, she looked into his unshakable eyes.
"Sakura is Sakura, no one can replace you, and no one will replace you--!"
"But, but, if it wasn't for protecting me at that time, I'm afraid you wouldn't have fallen into such a passive situation--!"
Sakura Matou knew very well that when she was falling, it was because of her being a burden and because Shirou Emiya wanted to protect her that she fell into such a suppressed situation when facing the petite Sakura Matou.
But all of this was just Sakura Matou's self-blame, especially when she heard the girl named BB calling herself the prototype, Sakura Matou felt even more guilty.
Such a disaster has occurred now, and the source of everything comes from ourselves.
"Don't take all the responsibility on yourself. This is what I want to do. Even if I fall into such a disadvantage again, I will protect you without hesitation--"
The words that Emiya Shirou said were not intense, nor did they need to be. His determined and unwavering eyes had already shown Matou Sakura his determination.
"Senior, thank you--"
For some reason, when I look into Shirou Emiya's eyes and stay so close to him, the panicky feeling disappears and I feel extremely at ease.
[I want to stay by Shirou Emiya's side forever]
As soon as this thought appeared, Sakura Matou's heart was immediately shaken, as if she had had such a thought before.
But Mooncell would not allow such feelings to continue. If she wanted to keep this feeling and extend this time, then there was only one thing she could do——————
No, Matou Sakura didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"Senior, I'll go make you a cup of tea--!"
Sakura Matou suddenly became a little flustered. She immediately stood up from her seat, pushed open the door and left the bedroom.
Shirou Emiya also touched the back of his head and left the bed that he was very familiar with.
When I opened the door, there was, as expected, a green courtyard.
Sometimes, he would practice kendo and archery in the courtyard.
Although under normal circumstances he would go to the dojo in his own mansion to train, it was also in that dojo that he practiced with Sister Fuji.
"Did it read my memory, or did it really use Mooncell to simulate the appearance of my house in that world?"
Shirou Emiya was just saying it casually. After all, this kind of thing was not important to him right now.
There was nothing hidden in his memory. Whether the other party read his memory or deduced his former residence through the computing power of Mooncell, it had no effect on him.
Shirou Emiya's current goal is to find the mastermind behind this and resolve everything.
But his goal now is to find a way to leave this mansion.
Thinking of this, Shirou Emiya raised his head slightly. At this moment, his mansion was like a prison, surrounded by red walls on all sides, and he could not see any situation outside.
This is the defense built by Mooncell. Its level has reached A-level in the Noble Phantasm level. Its powerful defense can withstand attacks from various Noble Phantasms.
It even has a counter-attack effect. No matter whether the Master or the Servant launches an attack, it can transmit the magic power of the attack and counter-attack the Master.
The Master's brain was burned in an instant.
Only with Avalon's healing ability could Shirou Emiya survive safely after attacking the barrier.
Now, Shirou Emiya had no way to deal with such a barrier.
Of course, he could, like before, disregard his life and risk everything to break through this barrier.
But what happens after that, what should Sakura do?
The world outside is definitely not that peaceful.
Shirou Emiya stood in front of the barrier for a long time, unable to think of an answer.
He didn't notice at all that purple and black light, like garbage or discarded dolls, kept diffusing in and entering his body.
Chapter 692: Cowardly [Matou Sakura]
"Senior, let's eat first." Sakura Matou walked out of the living room and spoke to Shirou Emiya who was standing in front of the red wall in the distance.
“Come right up—!”
Shirou Emiya responded to Sakura calling him. It felt like he was back in Fuyuki, when he was training in the dojo or practicing projection magic and enhancement magic in the warehouse, Sakura would call him like this.
However, at this moment, Emiya Shirou was standing in front of the wall, not only thinking about how to leave here, but he could feel that through this wall, there seemed to be someone outside watching here.
