Magic power surged wildly in his body. It only took a moment, just a moment, for his treasure's true name to be released. In such a close distance and sneak attack, Kiara Sesshōin had no way of reacting.
The next second————
"Pfft——!"
The sound of penetration came from behind Sesshōin Kiara.
In everyone's stunned eyes.
A pitch-black hand pierced through the body of Shirou Emiya as he released his treasure in mid-air, and his heart was tightly grasped in its hand.
At the last moment of his life, Shirou Emiya raised his right hand, and red magic power surged from the back of his hand.
“In the name of the Command Seal—”
Chapter 785 The Final Battle
"Shirou——!"
“Senior——!”
“Emiya——!”
Everyone was screaming heart-wrenchingly at this moment. No one had expected such a sudden change. Shirou Emiya's heart was pierced in an instant.
The breath of life drained from his body.
Shirou Emiya's body fell heavily to the ground as if it had no support, without any movement.
Jeanne suppressed her anger and suddenly retreated, leaving the attack range of Sesshōin Kiara.
It’s not that she didn’t want to defeat her and kill her, but Jeanne realized at that moment of close combat that she could not defeat Kiara Sesshōin simply by her own strength.
After devouring BB, Kiara Sesshōin possessed all of BB's battle data. After fusing with Mooncell, her power became even stronger, and it was definitely not something she could easily defeat on her own.
If the previous battle with BB had not consumed most of Emiya Shirou and Archer's energy and magic power, they would not have been so embarrassed when facing Sesshōin Kiara.
All I can say is that the timing chosen by Kiara Sesshōin was really good, so good that it could be called shameless.
But this level of insult is not even half as powerful as Andersen's.
Maybe Sesshōin Kiara would accept it with a smile.
The winner will be the king and the loser will be the bandit. If they fail here, then human beings on earth will be destroyed.
"Sparasi——!"
With a smile that captivated thousands of people, Sesshōin Kiara slowly turned her head and looked at Emiya Shirou who had lost his life and fell to the ground.
Being able to swallow all the desires of this world into his body, the threat posed by Emiya Shirou rose sharply in her heart.
Even greater than Joan of Arc and Archer who are wearing mythical costumes.
Because this means that almost half of her power has no effect on Emiya Shirou.
From the moment she first met Shirou Emiya, Kiara Sesshōin could vaguely feel in her heart that he might be her biggest threat.
It was for this reason that she left a backup plan in the bodies of Shirou Emiya and Jeanne.
However, Jeanne's own resistance to magic is extremely high, and with the blessing of the mythical costume, it has reached the EX level where accurate data cannot be obtained.
This kind of technique has little effect on her, or even no effect at all.
She slowly picked up Emiya Shirou, who had lost his life and turned into a corpse on the ground, and looked at him with great lovingness with a charming smile on her face.
"Let go of the senior——!"
Watching Kiara Sesshōin picking up Emiya Shirou's body, Sakura's eyes were filled with anger. She had never thought that her senior would die like this at the hands of Kiara Sesshōin.
If I had examined the technique provided by Sesshōin Kiara more carefully, would this have not happened?
She felt extremely guilty, thinking that all this was caused by herself.
“Ala Ala——!”
"Sakura-san's love is truly passionate. It's a pity that I couldn't enjoy Emiya-san's life and let him fall. This is really a big regret for me—"
But Sesshōin Kiara seemed not to care about Sakura's threat at all. Her eyes were full of seduction, and she casually threw Emiya Shirou, who had lost his life in her hand, backwards.
"Boom--!"
His body fell heavily to the ground, making a noise that made the people present feel a chill in their hearts.
"you--!"
Jeanne's hands, tightly gripping the flag, had veins bulging, and her eyes were blazing as she stared at Sesshōin Kiara who was laughing wildly and unscrupulously.
The reason she was able to survive was not because she possessed the same level of independent action as Archer, but because of the effect of Shirou Emiya's last Command Seal, which allowed her to stay on the field for a short period of time.
If Jeanne also left this place, she would have no chance at all against the people of the Sesshōin Kiara Student Council.
The spiral sword arrow rushed towards Sesshōin Kiara, and the violent explosion instantly swallowed up his entire body.
Archer continued to provide long-range support to the best of his ability in the distance, delaying time.
"It seems this is our last chance--!"
Leo also suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at everyone in a deep voice, and looked at Joan of Arc who had retreated here.
If anything, this was the second time Emiya Shirou saved their lives.
If that pink vortex had not been completely absorbed by Shirou Emiya, it would have been almost impossible for them as humans to resist such a horrific desire. The moment they came into contact with it, their wills would have melted and they would have turned into beasts of desire.
Now, they have little strength and time left to fight back.
Their hearts were filled with sadness, but they had no time to be sad.
"We can no longer defeat Kiara Seshouin through normal means. The power she possesses now is too strong—"
"The only way is to let Sakura touch Kiara Sesshōin when she is least prepared, awaken the baby inside her body, and let her regain control of her own body--!"
“And the moment we regain control, we will defeat Sesshōin Kiara—!”
This was a solution that the student union came up with in a very short period of time.
They originally thought that BB had been devoured by Kiara Sesshōin, just like Lilith devoured those NPCs, completely dissolved and turned into part of Kiara Sesshōin's data.
But Sakura told them that BB was still alive. Even though her roots had been implanted with a technique by Kiara Sesshōin, her own power should not be underestimated, and she has even merged with Mooncell.
No matter what Kiara Sesshōin did, there was no way she could turn BB into data in such a short time.
What's more, humans themselves cannot control Mooncell. Kiara Sesshōin was able to reach this level only by borrowing BB's functions. It is impossible for her to take action against BB now.
So BB is now sealed inside Kiara Sesshōin's body.
Although it is difficult to stop Kiara Sesshōin with the power of Sakura and BB alone, they can still expose a huge flaw in her.
Just like when BB was trying to seize control of Mooncell, if Emiya Shirou could be as ruthless as Archer and attack directly, the battle wouldn't have been so difficult.
But basically Mooncell will regain control of BB's body the moment the attack arrives.
After all, BB also has the desire to survive, and she doesn't want to die before saving Emiya Shirou. If Archer launches a surprise attack, he will basically be blocked by Mooncell.
"This time, we are not only fighting for ourselves, but also for humanity————!"
Chapter 786 Please Me
"Fighting for humanity, I'm not that noble, and I don't have such a lofty goal—"
Listening to Leo's words of encouragement, Matou Shinji responded with great disdain.
What is fighting for humanity? His ideal is not as big as saving humanity. Rather than saving humanity, he wants to become the number one in this world game.
In this world, you will step on everyone under your feet and become the true champion, the only champion, the object of admiration by everyone.
Hearing what Matou Shinji said, everyone present was stunned.
"But yeah, I'm angry, I'm really upset!"
"Why is he the only one who is trying to be a hero? Why is he the center of attention?!"
Matou Shinji scolded angrily, as if he was really unhappy with Emiya Shirou's actions.
A hero, he also wants to be such a person. He wants to stand beside Shirou Emiya and face such a crisis with him.
He doesn't want to see himself as a coward. On the road to becoming a champion, he does not allow cowardice, and he should not hide behind others!
He is Emiya Shirou's best friend - Matou Shinji.
"I will kill Emiya Shirou, and he should die in my hands! Sesshōin Kiara will be easily defeated by a gaming genius like me!"
"If your legs weren't shaking, I would have more confidence in you killing Sesshōin Kiara—"
"I want you to take care of it!!!"
Toosaka Rin couldn't help but complain as she looked at Matou Shinji, whose legs were shaking with fear.
However, the hymn of mankind is the hymn of courage. It is because of courage that mankind can burst out with amazing creativity; it is because of courage that mankind can overcome the fear of death and accomplish one achievement after another; it is also because of courage that mankind has left behind so many epic poems that are worthy of praise.
Faced with a situation where death is almost certain, the fact that he was able to stand up like this already means that Shinji Matou will achieve great success in the future.
"It really suits Shinji. If I'm not doing it for humanity, then I can say that I'm just being selfish—"
Julius, who was standing behind Leo, couldn't help but mutter to himself when he saw Matou Shinji saying this.
"No, brother, this is not selfish. You have always fought for the orders of others. This time, how about fighting for yourself——!"
Looking at Julius who seemed to want to say something, Leo narrowed his eyes slightly and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Julius used to be like a machine, dealing with the family's enemies meticulously.
Leo's mother's love saved Julius, but also pushed him into another abyss, an abyss from which he could almost never escape.
But to be honest, even without Leo's mother, Julius' life would not be much better.
"I understand, Lord Leo—"
This battle was not only based on Leo's instructions, but also on his own will. If anything, he would no longer put Leo's safety first.
Instead, his primary goal is to kill the person in front of him.
Bajiquan——
Unfortunately, the time he spent with Li Shuwen was too short, so he did not learn the essence of the subject, but only learned the basics.
"If possible, I hope you can call me brother--"
"Your Highness Leo, please don't make such jokes at this time. I am used to calling you that."
Julius couldn’t help but let out a wry smile when he heard Leo’s irrelevant words at this moment.
Without the oppression of the Holy Grail War, Leo, who became the president of the Student Council on the other side of the moon, is good in everything except that he always says irrelevant words that make it impossible for people to respond.
“Each of you, what are you fighting for yourselves, what are you fighting for humanity? What we can do now, whether it is to escape from the far side of the moon, save humanity from Sesshōin Kiara, or want to avenge Emiya Shirou, we can’t get around each other.”
Looking at everyone who was confirming their own beliefs, Toosaka Rin suddenly turned into a complainer and spoke as if she didn't understand at all.
Anyway, the ultimate goal is to defeat Kiara Sesshōin, so what's the point of saying so much?
"You can't say that, Ms. Toosaka. This is to strengthen your own beliefs."
Just as she was complaining, Rani from the old school building called in and vetoed her words.
"The power of desire called [Happiness] emanating from Sesshōin Kiara is an indescribable poison to humans, but it is not impossible to resist. The stronger their beliefs and the more resolute their wills are, the more they will be able to maintain their consciousness to a great extent—"
"It was probably after hearing what Matou Shinji said that President Leo realized that he could block the desire that permeates this space by strengthening his own beliefs—"
"Is that so?"
After hearing what Rani said, Toosaka Rin thought about it for a moment and understood the meaning of such words.
"So, Ms. Toosaka, which category do you belong to?"
"revenge--!"
"I never allowed him to die here like this!! Really, a Master should act like a Master!"
Toosaka Rin answered through gritted teeth, still scolding Emiya Shirou as usual, as if he were still alive.
But only Toosaka Rin herself knows how much self-blame she feels. If she had been able to stop Emiya Shirou earlier and change his twisted personality during the time at the Moon Side, would the ending be different?
Shirou Emiya risked his life to save me, but I didn't do anything.
She was unwilling to just stand behind Shirou Emiya and watch him sacrifice himself.
He hasn't even repaid Emiya Shirou for saving his life.
