Gravel and mist spread out.
"cough----!"
Shirou Emiya fell to the ground beside him and once again struggled to get up.
At the critical moment, Shirou Emiya quickly rolled to the side and dodged Hydra's attack with difficulty. He was knocked away by the powerful impact force. After rolling on the ground for several times, he fell to the ground beside him without any danger.
Emiya Shirou clutched his heart tightly with his left hand, raised the katana in his right hand formed with [Thousand Changes], and pointed it forward.
The poisonous fog slowly dissipated, and standing in front of Shirou Emiya was an extremely huge monster with nine heads. It looked down at Shirou Emiya, who was breathing heavily, with an expression of utmost contempt and eyes full of violence.
At this time, Shirou Emiya was once again on the brink of life and death.
You know, even the serum cannot be tolerated by a normal human body.
In the original plot, although the Hydra serum injected by Lion Jie Jie Li helped him to resist the extremely severe Hydra poison, he himself could not withstand the impact of the Hydra serum and eventually died.
Therefore, what Emiya Shirou's body was enduring at this moment was, first, the physical collapse caused by the double [Devil Haunted], second, the battle between the Hydra poison and the [One-Hit Kill●Murasame] poison, third, the damage to his body from dodging the magic light cannon previously, and fourth, the impact force given to his body by the Hydra serum.
However, because [Devil Possessed] will not only cause the collapse of Shirou Emiya's body, but will also greatly improve the user's physical fitness, so at this time Shirou Emiya's body can only barely reach a dynamic balance with the support of Avalon.
He could have his body break down at any moment because of something inside his body.
"aaaaaaa!"
And in front of Shirou Emiya, a roaring sound that shook the eardrums came out from the mouth of a monster with nine heads.
That roar made Emiya Shirou feel fear deep in his soul.
This is a monster that humans simply cannot defeat.
Even in the face of so many battles and so many situations in which he would die, Shirou Emiya still felt fear and cowardice.
Shirou Emiya never denied his desire to survive and his fear of strong enemies.
This is an emotion he will never give up. Because of his desire to live, Shirou Emiya knows how important life is.
How much people should cherish their own lives. If people are killed, they will die.
Therefore, Shirou Emiya tried his best to save others.
Shirou Emiya stared at the Hydra monster in front of him. Even though his whole body began to tremble under such pressure, he still stood firm and did not take any steps backward.
"I never thought that there would be such a hero in this era!"
Semiramis praised Emiya Shirou from the bottom of her heart without any reservation. Even among the Heroic Spirits, few had the courage to face Hydra directly.
What's more, Shirou Emiya is just a human body. In front of Hydra, he is like a human being and an ant, and will be easily crushed.
Having a desire to live and risking his life even though he knows he will die, he is a hero!
“aaaaaaaaaaa!!!!”
An extremely violent roar was heard again. This time, Hydra did not hold back at all. His huge body crushed towards Shirou Emiya like a steamroller.
There is no need to use any skills, this horrifying body alone is enough to kill any human being in this world.
Along with the earth-shaking, the huge body rushed towards Shirou Emiya unhindered.
"Trace on!!!"
It was a very simple knight's sword with a golden guard. It was extremely simple, yet extremely exquisite.
But Hydra's sturdy body rushed up at the moment when Shirou Emiya was projected, and Shirou Emiya felt as if his body was hit violently by a train weighing dozens of tons.
Blood gushed out from Shirou Emiya's throat uncontrollably, flowing from his chin to his chest like a waterfall, instantly dyeing his chest scarlet.
However, his goal had been achieved, as the exquisite and simple knight's sword had been deeply inserted into Hydra's abdomen.
A powerful magical power surged through Emiya Shirou's body.
"The golden sword that will surely win!!!"
Chapter 201: Finally Meeting Assassin
At that moment, the golden beam of light, carrying the power to devour everything, illuminated the extremely silent and dark night.
The powerful impact even blew away all the poisonous fog around Emiya Shirou in that instant.
Under the golden light, there was only the roaring Hydra and the extremely tough face illuminated.
Even Hercules could not resist the release of such a close-range treasure, let alone Hydra who was killed by Hercules.
Even the nine heads that could be revived infinitely would eventually turn into nothingness under such a golden torrent.
“Tick-tock! Tick-tock! Tick-tock!”
Fresh blood dripped drop by drop onto the steps in front of the cathedral.
After the golden light flashed, everything returned to calm again. This time, there was no longer any obstacle in front of Shirou Emiya.
There are no dragon-tooth soldiers, no magic circles, and no monsters as terrifying as Hydra.
I saw Shirou Emiya wearing a red cloak, holding a knight's sword in his hand, and staggering towards the top of the stairs step by step.
There was no fear in his eyes, only unprecedented determination.
The armor on his body had been shattered at some point, and there was no intact part of his body. Both his clothes and body were severely damaged.
The only thing that was not seriously damaged was the red cloak draped on Shirou Emiya.
This is not an ordinary cloak, but the legendary holy cloth.
The so-called holy shroud refers to the shroud.
The Bible records that after the death of the Son of God Jesus Christ, people wrapped his body in linen. Later, when Jesus Christ was resurrected, only the pile of linen was left in the tomb.
Therefore, the shroud used to wrap the body of the saint is called the holy shroud, which is a rare holy relic.
The various holy cloths have different effects. Some can enhance defense, while others can bring about some miracles, which is very magical.
Joan of Arc possessed the skills to make these holy shrouds.
Inherent skills.
Saint: b
Skills recognized as Saints. When summoned as a Servant, one of the four abilities can be selected to use: "Increases the effect of Secrets", "Automatic recovery of damage", "Increases leadership by 1 level", and "Can make Holy Shroud". Once selected, it cannot be changed.
When Jeanne d'Arc manifested in Leticia's body, the ability she chose as a saint was to create the holy shroud.
Before Shirou Emiya set out, Jeanne made a red holy cloth for him and handed it to Shirou Emiya.
It is known that the Red Team Assassin's real name is Semiramis.
In order to resist the poison, Joan of Arc also made preparations for this, but due to time constraints, Joan of Arc only made a piece of holy cloth when Shirou Emiya and his companions set out.
The holy shroud may not be able to resist the erosion of the poison, but it can provide a certain degree of help.
Although the holy shroud only needs to achieve its function and there are no excessive requirements for its appearance, Jeanne d'Arc, for some unknown reason, designed such a red, cloak-like holy shroud for Shirou Emiya.
Perhaps it was for this reason that Joan of Arc only made one piece of holy cloth.
In this regard, Shirou Emiya did not think too much, but solemnly accepted the cloak and carried it on his body.
He didn't wear it on himself right away.
On the one hand, the defensive power of the Holy Shroud is far inferior to that of the [Evil Ghost Haunting] that he projected, and it can be easily destroyed.
On the other hand, Sighisoara was under surveillance from all sides, and Emiya Shirou would not think that Semiramis would not recognize that what she was wearing was the holy shroud.
So Emiya waited until the critical moment and put on the holy cloth.
And now, it was an extremely critical moment. Shirou Emiya felt that he might fall to the ground in the next second due to severe pain and excessive blood loss.
He used the last bit of strength he had under the poisonous fog to take out the holy cloth from his abdomen and draped it over himself.
The body, which had been emitting a tingling sensation, felt as if a warm current was flowing through it. Not only did the pain decrease a lot, but the wounds were also constantly repairing.
Although the healing effect of the Holy Shroud is not as good as that of Avalon, it also has a certain continuous healing effect. As long as it is not destroyed, it can continue to provide healing effects, and it also has the ability to resist some magic.
“Squeak——!”
The door of the Cathedral Church was easily opened by Emiya Shirou without any hindrance.
"Shirou——!"
What appeared before Shirou Emiya's eyes was not Semiramis who had been putting pressure on him, nor was it Amakusa Shirou Tokisada who had a smile on his face.
Instead, it was Rider Astolfo who was chained along with his mount by chains that appeared from nowhere.
“Rider——!”
Regardless of his physical weakness, Shirou Emiya raised the knight sword in his hand and pointed it straight at an extremely charming woman in the far distance right in front of him.
"Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!"
The crisp sound of clapping was heard in the silent church.
The enchanting woman clapped her hands slowly and walked towards Emiya Shirou's position.
"I never thought that in this world, there would be someone like you who could create miracles."
Semiramis' tone was full of interest in Emiya Shirou, and her eyes were as if she had seen a precious treasure.
She originally thought that in this world, only a man like Amakusa Shiro Tokisada who walked forward without paying any attention could arouse her interest.
But no one expected that in this Holy Grail War, there would be such a person who would go forward without paying any attention.
She suddenly understood why Amakusa Shiro and Tokisada went to meet Emiya Shirou privately, because they were both people who could create miracles.
In modern times, is there really a human being who can once again kill the legendary nine-headed snake, Hydra, with the human body?
Without any strategy or skill, Shirou Emiya faced Hydra head-on and defeated him.
Even if it is not the real Hydra, but only a projection or clone of the legendary Hydra, it is definitely not an existence that can be defeated by modern magicians.
If the two parties were not enemies, Semiramis would definitely want to recruit him under her command. In other words, even if he was an enemy, Semiramis would still want to recruit him under her command.
Chapter 202: Red Team Recruits Again
"I like you very much!"
Just as Semiramis said to Mordred in the original story, Semiramis stepped over Astolfo, came to the extremely weak Shirou Emiya, and looked straight into his eyes.
"You're not even a magus from the Yugdomrenia clan, so why are you fighting so hard for the black side? There's no need to fight tooth and nail in the face of death. Besides, the Yugdomrenia clan probably doesn't even have any feelings for you."
"Submit to the Red Side and realize your own wish."
Semiramis' words were extremely gentle, and she spoke as if she was truly considering Emiya Shirou.
The Holy Grail is on the Red Side. If it really surrenders to the Red Side, given Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's character, he will not prevent the people in his camp from realizing their wishes.
Just as Amakusa Shiro Tokisada would not stop Semiramis from achieving the third magic, as a leader, he was extremely tolerant towards his own people in most cases.
Also willing to share the results of your victory.
At this moment, Semiramis made the same decision as Amakusa Shirou Tokisada and extended an olive branch to Emiya Shirou.
When Astolfo heard Semiramis persuading Shirou Emiya to surrender, he immediately struggled and twisted his body and shouted at Shirou Emiya.
"scholar--!"
"I reject!"
But before Astolfo could call out Emiya Shirou's name, he rejected Semiramis without any hesitation.
He didn't even think about it, as if he had no interest in Semiramis' proposal.
"Varied--?"
Semiramis's move to touch Shirou Emiya's face stopped instantly, with disbelief written all over her face.
Her face began to twist, as if she totally couldn't believe that Emiya Shirou had made such a choice.
Can't Emiya Shirou see the current situation clearly?
Didn't he feel the absolute gap in strength?
If the black team did not have the presence of Shirou Emiya, they would never have the chance to reach the door of the Cathedral Church.
Even though Shirou Emiya overcame numerous obstacles and broke in, he was only in a dying state and had almost no fighting ability.
The only remaining servant of the black side, Astolfo, was captured by himself without any resistance.
