Of course, there are still two problems.
The first one is that Shinji Matou and Gina can discuss how long they can keep the lighting system shut down.
The second is whether Emiya Shirou has the ability to severely injure Gawain with one blow.
Chapter 618: Unable to Cross the Pure White Wall
The towering pure white city walls stand in the deserted desert.
Even if you just watch from afar, you can feel the majesty contained in it.
Not to mention coming into contact with the city wall at such a close distance.
Standing in the yellow sand, Emiya Shirou and Toosaka Rin could only feel their own insignificance.
They were like frogs in a well, able to see only the sky between the two city walls.
"This kind of terrain is really unheard of!"
Toosaka Rin, who was standing behind Emiya Shirou, couldn't help but sigh.
If monsters do not emerge from the surrounding city walls, then it will give the people living there an extremely strong sense of security.
"Emiya, fly up there first and take a look at the current situation around here."
After a brief shock, Toosaka Rin immediately returned to her status as a magician.
At this time, Shirou Emiya also quickly dealt with several monsters that were pouring in from the surroundings.
Since she decided to assist Shirou Emiya, Toosaka Rin naturally asked Shirou Emiya many questions with the idea of better understanding his fighting ability.
She naturally knew that Shirou Emiya's demon-possessed technique could allow him to fly.
Of course, even if Toosaka Rin didn't know, she would immediately ask Emiya Shirou to judge the exact condition of the maze in the arena.
Only by understanding the environment you are in can you better formulate strategies against the enemy, and even find a retreat route for yourself in advance.
It was because Rin Toosaka investigated the surrounding environment with Cu Chulainn that she was able to escape from Gawain's clutches so quickly.
Moreover, Toosaka Rin had a bad feeling.
The distance between the towering and strong city walls is not extensive.
The distance of this road is limited to accommodate two cars at the same time.
There is only a road paved with yellow sand between the city walls, and there are no obstacles on this road at all.
It was like returning to the most classic maze, with countless walls forming an intricate path.
Toosaka Rin slowly walked to the pure white wall and touched it gently with her hand. Magic power leaped on her arm covered with a pitch-black deletion program.
Then, she slowly stepped back, her right hand turned into a gun, and a red beam of light appeared on her fingers.
"Biu——!"
The magic bullet exploded instantly like a bullet and hit the wall accurately.
"boom--!"
Only a crisp sound could be heard, and the magic bullet that hit the wall quickly dissipated, while the wall remained intact.
Seeing this scene, Toosaka Rin frowned slightly, took out a crimson gem from her pocket, and with a slight pain on her face, threw it towards the wall in the distance.
"boom--!"
A violent explosion broke out on the wall dozens of meters away from Toosaka Rin, and in an instant, the red flames rushed towards the surroundings with the momentum of devouring everything.
But it only lasted for a few seconds, and the flames disappeared completely, leaving only the charred wall.
"What a strong defense!"
Looking at the city wall that had almost no particular damage, Toosaka Rin's eyes began to waver. With this level of defense, if faced with an emergency, she would almost not have to consider blasting open the city wall, or she could choose to blast open the city wall to attack the opponent.
After Toosaka Rin casually tested the defensive power of the surrounding city walls, Emiya Shirou, who was flying in the sky wearing an evil spirit, suddenly fell down and then landed steadily on the ground.
"How about this? Is there any vantage point around here that can observe the situation below——!"
Since Shirou Emiya is an extremely good archer, the first thing Toosaka Rin would naturally do is to find a commanding height that would allow Shirou Emiya to easily observe the overall situation.
Only in this way can Emiya Shirou exert his full strength.
Toosaka Rin still vividly remembers the scene where Cu Chulainn couldn't get close to Emiya Shirou no matter what.
However, upon hearing Toosaka Rin's question, Emiya Shirou sighed helplessly.
"The height of each city wall is the same. There is no commanding height that can be occupied."
"The whole world, with an open space at the center, presents a complex network of roads that extend outwards to the surroundings until there is no end in sight."
"Of course, maybe what I said was not particularly accurate. The sky was always swirling with yellow sand. From a very far distance, I could only see the yellow sand rolling into a storm."
Shirou Emiya also told Rin Toosaka everything he had seen.
"It's now hellish difficulty!"
Listening to Shirou Emiya's description, Toosaka Rin held her forehead and sighed in her heart.
How unlucky I am to end up in a world where it is difficult to exert long-range combat power.
In such a maze, if you encounter an opponent, the only option is to fight head-on.
The distance between the two city walls was too close. Even if Shirou Emiya walked on top of the city wall, it would be difficult for him to cross the other wall and see the situation below.
This has basically cut off Shirou Emiya's ability to fight at extremely long distances.
There was no other reason why Toosaka Rin followed Emiya Shirou here.
On the one hand, Shirou Emiya's preparations before the war were too simple, and Toosaka Rin couldn't stand it.
Another aspect, and the most important aspect, is that even if Shinji Matou has extraordinary hacking skills, it is impossible to permanently close the sun.
Then the timing of extinguishing the sun is very critical. Shinji Matou and Gina outside the arena have no idea what the situation is like inside the arena.
It is unknown when Emiya Shirou will fight with Gawain, or how long he will be able to hold out.
Under the uncertain circumstances, it was impossible for Shinji Matou and Gina to accurately extinguish the sun when Gawain was fighting with Shirou Emiya.
So Toosaka Rin decided to act as a communication device, so that Shinji Matou and Gina in the academy could wait for the magic instructions given by Toosaka Rin.
As long as the gem in Ginako's hand lights up, Shinji Matou will immediately extinguish the sun.
Of course, this is still in the conceptual stage.
Shinji Matou is still trying to overcome the layers of defense designed by Mooncell.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the sun, or Mooncell's lighting system, is not a critical issue, and the protection they are designed for is not top-notch.
As long as Shinji Matou is given enough time, he will be able to bypass the protection program designed by Mooncell and mobilize the lighting system.
Gina is responsible for using her hacking skills to resist the Mooncells that have responded when Shinji Matou manipulates the lighting system, thereby extending the darkness to the greatest extent possible.
No one had any objection to the distribution of tasks, but Shirou Emiya was still a little worried about Toosaka Rin's physical condition.
"Don't worry about me. I'm not doing this for you, but for the purpose of participating in this Holy Grail War. Now all I can do is place all my hopes on you!"
Looking at Toosaka Rin's extremely serious expression and her unwillingness to back down, Emiya Shirou never mentioned the idea of letting Toosaka Rin go back to the infirmary to rest again.
Chapter 619: Negative Emotions Flooding in Like Seawater
"Gawain, you seem a little dazed, what are you thinking about?"
Similarly, in this arena covered with yellow sand, Leo slowly asked Gawain, who was staring at the city wall in a daze.
"Nothing, Master, it's just that this pure white wall reminds me of Camelot—"
"The Chalk City?"
Leo, who was standing next to Gawain, also nodded slightly. He had previously used his magic power to investigate this city wall. Its defensive power could probably easily block enemy weapons below rank B.
It cannot be broken by brute force, and basically, if a conflict occurs, it will only be a head-on conflict.
As for the winning rate, is there any need to think about it?
There was no fluctuation in Leo's expression, there was only victory in his eyes.
It does not simply come from absolute confidence in one's own strength.
Leo, as an ideal person, does not have human shortcomings and negative emotions, does not know what defeat is, does not know what fear is, and cannot even imagine that he might lose.
"Keep moving forward. According to the feedback from the magic, the first code key is just ahead."
With a gentle and graceful tone, Leo slowly looked at the road ahead and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Emiya Shirou, you could have walked this path with me——————
"Only B-rank or higher Anti-military Noble Phantasms can destroy the city wall?"
On the other side, Toosaka Rin quickly figured out the defense level of the surrounding city walls.
And Shirou Emiya really stood beside Toosaka Rin like a Servant, quietly listening to Toosaka Rin's analysis of the things around her.
In fact, he really didn't understand these things very well.
Every time I enter the arena, I basically take one step at a time, and even looking for the secret code key is done by luck.
I never thought that the secret code key is actually a part of testing the magician's level.
When Toosaka heard that Emiya Shirou was relying on luck to find the code key, she instantly became furious and kept scolding Emiya Shirou.
"Emiya, give me your terminal--!"
Glancing at Shirou Emiya who was following her silently, Toosaka Rin couldn't help but feel a headache.
Haven't I been eliminated?
Why is he running around like a Master? It's really——!
The code key is not simply generated in the maze. The master can use his own hacking skills or magic to find the trace of his own code key.
As for the clues about the code key, they are all in the terminal that sent the message.
Otherwise, finding a card like that in such a vast maze would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Unless you are extremely lucky, it would be difficult to find it.
Only Shirou Emiya obtained his own case number key in this simplest and crudest way.
If it weren't for the treasure that increased his luck, Shirou Emiya might have been eliminated in the first battle because he couldn't find the code key.
Seeing Toosaka Rin's blaming look, Emiya Shirou could only scratch his forehead and respond with a wry smile. Apart from projection magic, Emiya Shirou didn't know much.
Being able to understand what Toosaka Rin was saying was the result of Emiya Shirou's hard work in studying.
"Zi la——!"
It was as if some electric current was passing through, and the air around them became heavy in an instant.
Toosaka Rin, who was originally walking in front and continuing to explore the rules of this maze, paused, slowly retreated behind Emiya Shirou, and looked around nervously.
"Squeak—!"
As if something went wrong, the ground and even the walls appeared a very strange red color.
It's like there is some kind of existence eroding this place.
Noise continued to appear in the ears of Shirou Emiya and Rin Toosaka, as if it was cutting off their nerves, and a huge amount of negative emotions instantly enveloped the two of them.
"What exactly is this breath?"
Toosaka Rin tightly grasped the gem in her hand. On the bulletin board, it was clear that there were only Emiya Shirou and Leo in this arena.
Unless Shirou Emiya and Leo help them lock the arena here, other Masters have no way to come here.
Toosaka Rin was able to come here only through Emiya Shirou, otherwise she would only go to the public arena used to familiarize magicians with the rules of the arena.
She also didn't think any other Master would follow Leo to this arena.
The only person who might have come along, Julius, has been eliminated, and Toosaka Rin really doesn't know who else could be here.
"Li Shuwen——"
Shirou Emiya closed his eyes, cleared away the negative emotions lingering in his mind, and simply felt the murderous intent that came from nowhere.
This murderous intent made Shirou Emiya feel extremely familiar, as if he had faced it before, but to be able to have it be so sharp and so strong, Shirou Emiya could only think of one person.
“Huh? Wasn’t Julius eliminated?”
