It's just that Shirou Emiya has been trying, trying to see if he can defeat Cu Chulainn without facing such a blow directly.
But it was obvious that Shirou Emiya had failed.
The armor was removed at this moment, revealing the figure of Shirou Emiya inside. He reached his hand into the night hat without hesitation.
To save time for the projection, Shirou Emiya took out a crimson spear.
When Cu Chulainn saw the scarlet spear in Shirou Emiya's hand not far away, his eyes were slightly stunned, but then an extremely ferocious smile appeared on his face.
"Then let's see who will win!"
The spear in Cu Chulainn's hand suddenly trembled strangely. A moment later, he stomped his foot on the ground and rushed out fiercely like a shadow.
"Gáe Bolg!"
As the roar rang out, Cu Chulainn suddenly raised the spear in his hand high above his head and thrust it forward heavily.
"choke!"
From the crimson tip of the gun, rapidly surging red magic power surged out, causing the blood-colored light to suddenly increase, transforming into a flash of red lightning that pierced through the space, like a randomly flashing electric light, flashing back and forth several times, and violently shot towards Emiya Shirou.
The vision in front of my eyes was instantly covered by a deep red color.
Similarly, the red spear in Shirou Emiya's hand followed closely behind, piercing through the space and shooting towards Cu Chulainn's position.
"Pfft——!"
Blood, at this moment, spilled onto the ground————
Chapter 610: Luck Enough to Change Destiny
"Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!"
It seemed that the sound of something shattering was heard from this silent space.
The cross-like rapier that was originally in Emiya Shirou's left hand seemed unable to withstand the force and shattered into pieces, turning into magic power and dissipating in the air.
The scarlet spear pierced through space like lightning and firmly stuck into the school wall behind Emiya Shirou.
The whole audience suddenly fell silent.
"Lancer!!!!"
Toosaka Rin couldn't help but exclaim and trotted to Cu Chulainn's side.
It's not that she didn't want to support the battlefield, but her gem magic, which could hurt even the servants who weren't paying attention, had no way of harming Shirou Emiya in the armor at all.
During the battle, Shirou Emiya basically ignored the Gandr launched by Toosaka Rin and some gem magic that swept over.
Toosaka Rin could only bite her lower lip and decide to give up providing support to Cu Chulainn.
"puff--!"
Blood gushed out from Cu Chulainn's mouth.
He looked at his heart that had been pierced, and then looked at Shirou Emiya who was intact, with unstoppable shock in his eyes.
"You, actually dodged it?"
It is impossible to deal with the spear that has the law of causality. After all, it is just a lie told by Shirou Emiya.
After confirming that he had to face the spear with the law of causality, Shirou Emiya thought of three possible solutions.
The first is to liberate the true name of [the fake small world surrounding the sky]. Confronting this shield means confronting the world. Once activated, it can defend against people, armies, cities, countries, and gods.
However, it consumes so much magical power that Shirou Emiya can only release his real name twice in a battle, and then he will definitely be pierced through.
You should know that although the magic power released by Cu Chulainn seems to be surging, it actually does not consume much magic power. As long as Cu Chulainn is willing, he can even release the Noble Phantasm to the other six servants in succession during a normal Holy Grail War.
The second is to release the [Spear of the Sky-Spanning Star] which is also Achilles' Noble Phantasm.
In the isolated space created by the Noble Phantasm [Spear of the Sky-Rolling Star], all protections and magic, even Noble Phantasms, cannot be used, and victory or defeat is determined only by the skills possessed by oneself and the opponent.
Cu Chulainn was naturally unable to use the Deaththorn Spear in this space.
But even if he could use weapons, Shirou Emiya didn't think he could surpass the Kuran Mastiff in terms of skills.
The third one is to fully release the power of [Blue] so that it can reach the power of its original form at that moment.
The luck granted by [Excess Grace of the Goddess] can make your wishes come true. Unless it is something that even luck cannot interfere with, or something that is bound to happen no matter what, it can change it.
Even if the force was only exerted for a moment, it was enough to deflect the gun that pierced the heart.
The price was the negligible damage to Shirou Emiya's weapon.
"Give me a weapon that can change my fate? I'm just a magus, but I have so many treasures——!"
Cu Chulainn endured the severe pain that pierced his heart and pulled out the red magic spear from his chest.
The spear that had pierced into the school behind Emiya Shirou also returned to his hand as if flying freely in the air.
Even with his heart pierced, Cu Chulainn still had the strength to fight.
He looked at the crimson spear projected by Emiya Shirou, swinging and waving in the air.
“It’s almost exactly the same——————”
Feeling the touch from above, if one of the guns was not closely related to himself, Cu Chulainn would have no way of telling which one was his real treasure.
"Are you really a magician? Not a Servant?"
Looking at the two weapons in his hands that were almost indistinguishable from each other, Cu Chulainn looked at Emiya Shirou with a face full of shock.
The most important aspect of Shirou Emiya's strength lies in the expansion of the Infinite Sword System.
If he can collect more weapons, Shirou Emiya will have more means to face the enemies.
In this way, no matter what kind of enemy you are facing, you can attack its weaknesses and fight advantageously against all types of enemies.
Just like it is now.
If it weren't for [Azure], Shirou Emiya would probably have to go through an extremely difficult battle before he could defeat Cu Chulainn.
Instead of easily piercing Cu Chulainn's heart like now.
"Perhaps I will become a Heroic Spirit in the future—"
In response to Cu Chulainn's shock, Emiya Shirou, who had already taken off his armor, joked casually.
"Humph! If I meet someone like you in Valhalla, I will lose ten years of my life—!"
Cu Chulainn looked at Emiya Shirou who was approaching and made a very disdainful sound.
The moment he finished speaking, a crimson wall suddenly separated Emiya Shirou from them.
"I'm sorry, Master, for being so clumsy at the last minute—"
Looking at Toosaka Rin who appeared beside him, Cu Chulainn half-knelt on the ground, covering his pierced heart and expressing his apologies to her.
"No, Lancer, it was not your fault. I underestimated the enemy and did not provide any help at such a critical moment. I did not even use the Command Spell. I should be the one to apologize."
Facing Cu Chulainn's apology, Toosaka Rin shook her head. There was no regret in her words, and she accepted the outcome of such an all-out battle very straightforwardly.
"Cuchulainn! It is not time to say goodbye yet--!"
Seeing the two people about to say their last words, Shirou Emiya, with a spiral sword in his hand, shouted at Cu Chulainn.
Then——
"boom--!"
The spiral sword arrow slammed into the red wall, and intense flames instantly filled the entire red wall.
A small channel suddenly appeared between the two isolated worlds and was quickly restored.
"is that so!?"
In just a moment, Cu Chulainn understood what Shirou Emiya wanted to express.
This wall can be destroyed.
As long as she can cross this wall, then Toosaka Rin, the loser, will be able to survive.
Incredibly simple rules, so simple that they shouldn’t even have been designed by Mooncell.
But such a simple rule has only been discovered now.
Because no one would save opponents who are fighting each other like Emiya Shirou.
And those losers who wanted to survive may have destroyed this wall.
But not all servants whose spirit cores are shattered have the ability to continue fighting like Cu Chulainn and Vlad III.
The winner has the ability to save the loser, but will not lend a helping hand, and the loser has almost no ability to get out of it.
Perhaps there really is a loser who destroys the electronic wall and walks out, but there is a greater possibility that he will be eliminated again by the winner.
Those who participate in the Holy Grail War basically have their own selfish desires. Even people like Ginako are rare in the Holy Grail War.
Watching Toosaka Rin's body being gradually devoured by the pitch-black substance, Cu Chulainn couldn't help but smile.
"Master, give the final orders!"
"I remember that you have enough magic power to unleash a Noble Phantasm once--!"
"But I would like to use a method of releasing a Noble Phantasm that I have never tried before at the last moment."
Even at this life-threatening moment, Toosaka Rin and Cu Chulainn did not show any signs of urgency.
"In the name of the Command Seal, release your Noble Phantasm! Lancer!"
"Old woman! You never give me a second gun. This time I want to vent my anger properly, so I'll borrow your name. I won't put a fake word in front of that treasure--!"
"The gun that pierces through the deadly flying————!!!!"
Chapter 611: The extremely difficult Holy Grail War that follows
Tsukiumihara Academy, in the health room.
Gina, who was supposed to be in the health room, is now nowhere to be found, leaving only a computer set up on the bed.
Sakura Matou was sitting at the desk next to her, preparing the next dose of medicine for Toosaka Rin.
At this time, Toosaka Rin was sitting quietly on the bed, holding a steaming cup of black tea in her hand, gazing into the distance.
Just like Shinji Matou before, a large part of her body was covered by the dark deletion program.
I am very weak now and I may need to rest for a while before I can get out of bed and move around freely, but this time may not be too long.
"For some reason, I'm not surprised that I survived."
Then, as if she saw Shirou Emiya standing beside her, Toosaka Rin spoke to him with a slight smile.
"It's as if I know you will definitely help. It's better to say that people like you will not hesitate to lend a helping hand even if they are facing a stranger."
"Although I really want to blame you and correct your thoughts, I feel that you may not reflect on this——"
This is not the first time that Toosaka Rin has criticized Emiya Shirou for saving others during the Holy Grail War.
It is even said that when Emiya Shirou rescued Matou Shinji, Toosaka Rin found Emiya Shirou and asked him not to risk his life so much to save his enemy.
Doing so will only put yourself in an extremely dangerous situation and may even cost you your life.
This behavior can be considered a violation to some extent.
If Mooncell hadn't been unconscious, it would have already attacked Emiya Shirou.
When she was saved from that red, collapsing world by Shirou Emiya, Toosaka Rin felt grateful to Shirou Emiya but also worried.
She had been in that collapsing world for so long that only a part of her body was covered by the dark deletion program.
But Shirou Emiya had only been in this world for a few seconds when more than half of his body was covered in an instant.
If it weren't for Cu Chulainn's help, if Shirou Emiya had continued to stay in that collapsing world for a few seconds, he would probably have disappeared before Toosaka Rin disappeared.
The speed at which he was covered was dozens of times the speed at which a normal Master was covered. Toosaka Rin was worried that Emiya Shirou did not die in a battle with others.
Instead, he was directly deleted by Mooncell while on the way to save others.
Because when she saved herself, Toosaka Rin could clearly feel that Shirou Emiya wanted to push her out.
But the final result was that Cu Chulainn kicked Emiya Shirou fiercely and knocked him away.
"The one who defeated me shouldn't stop here--!"
