Chapter 462: Page 462

Including the broken walls and ruins around, the houses that were still intact, and the seemingly solid ground, all were turned into pieces and submerged by the fire wave under this impact.

I don’t know how long this scene lasted.

Until a broken figure jumped out from the terrifying wind and waves and the thick flames.

Half of his body had been completely blown up, but he seemed to feel no pain at all. The expression on his face did not even waver at all, as he stared at Emiya Shirou's position.

The extremely sophisticated mechanical structure and flesh were exposed to the air, looking extremely hideous.

"Roar----!"

The beast-like roar came again, and he stomped his feet on the ground again, and magic power surged through his body. His tower-like figure rushed towards the position of Shirou Emiya and Jeanne.

“Swish, swish, swish, swish——!”

Amid the sharp sound of breaking wind, countless sword arrows streaked through the moonlight, pierced through the air, and flew towards Lu Bu like a curtain of rain.

A vicious light flashed in Lu Bu's eyes.

"Zheng——!"

A cold arc of light flickered on the heavy Fang Tian Huaji.

"laugh--!"

A faint sound of breaking through the air also arose.

“Clang, clang, clang, clang——!”

A shocking collision sound rang out, and the clash between the halberd blade and the sword arrow flashed wildly at this moment.

The violent air quickly rose up from the Fang Tian Hua Ji in Lu Bu's hand, bringing with it a whistling sound that hurt people's eardrums.

Countless sparks burst out from around his body, and sword arrows one after another were directly knocked away by his powerful force, deeply embedded in the ground, and some were even directly shattered by this powerful force.

Even though he only had one arm left, his strength should not be underestimated. Lu Bu's unparalleled martial arts were brought to the extreme at this moment.

No sword or arrow could penetrate such a defense.

The distance of hundreds of meters was shortened in the blink of an eye. It only took a few seconds, or even no seconds, for him to be in front of them.

"Is that really the case?"

Sakura muttered softly as she stood behind Emiya Shirou.

Their interaction with the old school building was not so brief. In the morning, Sakura also interacted a lot with the student council members.

On the one hand, she had to hand over many functions and operating methods of the old school building to the other party, and on the other hand, she learned from the old school building about the information about the servants they were about to face.

After all, Li Shuwen and Lu Bu's masters are both in the student union, and they definitely know more about the servants' information and intelligence than himself.

Because of this, Sakura learned from Lani that Lu Bu had regained his sanity.

Otherwise, as a Berserker, Lu Bu will not be taken away unless BB uses his ability forcefully.

But Lu Bu voluntarily followed BB away. In Lani's words, their chances of winning were too low. After Lu Bu examined the situation, he immediately chose BB's camp.

But this is indeed the case.

Not to mention that BB could just force his way into the old school building and wipe out everyone on his own.

Including Shirou Emiya, they only had four servants in total. At that time, Shirou Emiya, Jeanne d'Arc and Andersen were all taken away, leaving only one servant, Wuming, in the entire old school building.

It can be said that there is almost no power to resist.

Also because Lu Bu regained his sanity, the [Rebellious Look] that had been ineffective took effect, and he immediately abandoned his former master Lani, even though her appearance was somewhat similar to the Diao Chan in his memory.

Afterwards, Ying asked them about how Lu Bu seemed to be irrational when they met him at the entrance of the 18th floor.

Lani thought about it for a while and guessed that it might be because BB thought that Lu Bu would not be loyal to him, and the inherent skill [Rebellious Look] was directly attached to Lu Bu. After obtaining Lu Bu's combat power, he deprived him of his sanity.

Although normal authority cannot do such a thing, BB's authority can be said to be boundless, and the Command Spell can also allow the Servant to regain some sanity, so there is no big problem in thinking about it.

But now, the truth may not be as simple as the student union speculated.

Chapter 752: The Man Who Carries Evil

Perhaps it was because Shirou Emiya's own thoughts had changed, or perhaps it was because of the influence of the malicious black mud, Shirou Emiya's attitude towards the enemy was different from before.

In the past, Shirou Emiya was almost unable to make the decision to kill his enemies.

Even if you know that the other party is a bad guy, even if you know that only one person can survive in the battle between you and the other party.

Although Shirou Emiya still has murderous intent and will not show any mercy in the face of life and death battles, he will not give up if the other party begs for mercy or sincerely apologizes for what he has done.

Then he will give up fighting with him, and may even put down the blade in his hand.

On the one hand, Shirou Emiya himself resists the act of killing, and on the other hand, Shirou Emiya has always believed that he has no right to judge others.

Because I am also a sinner.

You yourself should be judged.

He will not be like the enemies he faced before. If he wants to kill you, he will fight you with all his might without any hesitation or mercy in his heart.

For normal people, being kind to the enemy is being cruel to oneself.

Shirou Emiya was unable to put this sentence into practice. He always had his own kindness and compassion towards his enemies. Even though he understood the meaning of this sentence, he could not let go of the hesitation in his heart.

Even when his own life was about to be taken away by the other party, Shirou Emiya still could not muster the determination to kill the other person.

This is his contradiction.

This is where his twist comes in.

This is an idea that is completely incomprehensible to ordinary people.

But he still stubbornly moved forward on this impossible road, even though Shirou Emiya knew in his heart that this road was impossible.

Just like the vow he once made, to make everyone happy, but is this really possible?

This was an almost impossible task, but he was extremely stubborn and kept moving forward on this path, even though he was covered in wounds and even though there was a bottomless cliff ahead.

He still regarded it as nothing, or understood it but pretended not to see it, and kept moving towards the unreachable destination that could only exist in ideals, which was illusory, unrealistic, and enough to make people fall into the abyss.

If I had to say, the world that Amakusa Shiro Tokisada wanted to create is the world that is most suitable for everyone's happiness.

Relief for all mankind.

Grant immortality to all human beings equally, and allow them to live in peace in eternal life.

There is no desire, everyone is equal, there is no war, and no crime. What an ideal world it is.

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada saw how mean, low, and cruel humans could be and became stronger.

This is the case even when facing people of the same race. If they are of different skin colors and cultures, to what extent will the cruelty of human beings be accelerated?

After surviving the Holy Grail War, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada became more determined in his thoughts after seeing the wars and crimes that broke out around the world even in peacetime.

Desire is the source of evil, so he just needs to eradicate all desires.

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada denies evil and eradicates it. He believes that only by removing evil can mankind have a better future.

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada is a saint who, with his own strength, does something that is almost impossible, great and sacred.

Shirou Emiya is the opposite. He affirms evil and accepts evil. Evil is also a part of human beings. He believes that even evil is worth saving.

Shirou Emiya is also a saint. He saves everything in the world, no matter how small, with his own strength.

There is no absolute right or wrong for either side, because no matter which future it is, it is impossible to predict. Human beings have not developed to their limits, and everything in the future is unknown.

Is it that a world without evil is better, or is it that a world with evil preserved is more worth looking forward to? This is an answer that no one can give.

But perhaps it is precisely because Emiya Shirou affirms evil and accepts evil that he is able to endure [evil].

Only these vicious data on the back of the moon can remain in Shirou Emiya's body.

Otherwise, even if Shirou Emiya possesses the function of a [Container] and a firm will that ordinary people cannot reach, he will only be gradually devoured by these evils.

Will is limited, but evil is infinite. You can resist it for a while, but you cannot resist it forever.

Just like Julius whom Shirou Emiya met in the Fourth War.

He had been fighting against the vicious substances attached to his body, and was eventually swallowed by them. If BB had not intervened, he would have disappeared forever, and not even any data would have been left.

Julius is the only Master other than Shirou Emiya who still has his memories, but as a killer he is always wary of everything around him.

Unlike Shirou Emiya, who revealed everything he knew as soon as he came out.

Perhaps it was because Emiya Shirou told everything he knew that BB chose to go straight to the deeper level.

Because Shirou Emiya affirms evil and accepts evil, the impact of evil on him has only been reduced to the minimum, but it is not completely absent.

After all, it is still evil. No one can ignore this evil that is so huge that it can condense into an ocean. A normal person would be swallowed up if he came into contact with even a drop of it, not to mention how much is surging in Shirou Emiya's body right now.

Seeing the sword arrow that he shot was knocked away, Shirou Emiya's expression did not waver in the slightest. His eyes were extremely cold. He looked at Lu Bu who was shooting towards him as if he was looking at a dead person, and let out a light sound.

"Illusion collapses--!"

"Peng——!"

The next moment, the sword arrows that were picked up by Lu Bu and scattered around him, still flying towards him, turned into red sparks and exploded.

But its power is not even one-tenth of the Pseudo-Spiral Sword (Caladbolg II). To be honest, the power of these exploding sword arrows does not even reach the level of a D-rank anti-military weapon.

To be honest, Jeanne, whose magic resistance is A, can easily withstand an explosion of this magnitude.

If it were Jeanne in her Ruler class, such an attack would be no different from tickling.

"Roar----!"

Under the dark moonlit night, in the exploding thick fog, an extremely violent roar rose and fell, and the entire ground seemed to tremble. It was like a ferocious beast from ancient times was rioting, which was terrifying.

"call----!"

The next moment, a whistling sound was heard along with the swinging of a Fang Tian Hua Ji as thick as a pen, and the huge body appeared in front of Shirou Emiya in just a blink of an eye.

Amid the sound of space tearing, the Fang Tian Huaji, which was powerful enough to tear apart any existence, flashed out from mid-air with terrifying power, like a shadow of death, and swung forward fiercely.

Chapter 753: Weapons Once Abandoned

"call out--!"

The violent air quickly rose up from the Fang Tian Hua Ji in Lu Bu's hand, bringing with it a whistling sound that hurt people's eardrums. In an instant, it danced into a black shadow and chopped straight down at Shirou Emiya's head.

Such a fierce attack fully demonstrates his reputation of being "unparalleled in the world".

"call--!"

The lifeless white hair was blown into disarray by the violent swing of the halberd.

Facing the deadly Fang Tian Hua Ji, Shirou Emiya's expression remained unchanged. He did not make any dodging movements, and he even did not pick up the red spear that was placed at his feet from the beginning.

He stood there as if he was frightened.

But Shirou Emiya has experienced countless life and death situations, so how could he lose his judgment and ability to resist because of such a blow?

However, he doesn't need to worry too much and just needs to leave his back to her.

"Shh-!"

All he could see was a black shadow suddenly appear in front of Emiya Shirou from the side as if teleporting.

"Clang-crack-!"

The pure white flag and the surging Fang Tian Huaji collided fiercely, causing a loud bang and sparks.

"boom--!"

With a loud bang, Joan of Arc only felt an extremely terrifying force coming from the flag, although Vlad III also had A+ level strength in Dracula's Castle.

But the same strength gave Joan of Arc completely different feelings compared to when she faced Lu Bu.

Lu Bu's terrifying force instantly suppressed him to his knees, causing the ground to explode into pieces.

This is the gap in martial arts and skills. Vlad III was the ruler of a country. Even in war, he was more responsible for command rather than fighting.

This is the same as Joan of Arc. Their martial arts are not that strong and they are weaker than those generals in direct combat.

So even if it is the same power, it manifests itself in two different ways in the hands of the two.

This is why there are so many servants who can fight back and forth with their opponents even though their data is weaker than their opponents, and may even achieve reverse suppression.

The strength of servants cannot be judged solely by numbers. It only refers to part of the data of the servants' strength.
