The sky also became distorted.
Shirou Emiya endured endless pain, stood firmly on the surging ground, and looked at everything around him.
"Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!"
As the earth and sky surged, the sound of iron hammering continued in an orderly manner.
The whole world changed drastically in just a moment.
The positions of heaven and earth were distorted.
The endless wilderness suddenly became fragmented.
Countless cracks continued to fill the entire space.
Everything around seemed so dilapidated, as if the house had not been lived in for hundreds of years.
There were broken walls and ruins everywhere, making the already lifeless space even more dead silent.
The swords and knives around also began to shatter.
The hill that had once stood like a sword tomb had now become a pile of broken limbs as if it had experienced countless battles, with the ground covered with fragments of swords and knives.
"Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!"
The pounding sound continued to come from somewhere in the space.
Shirou Emiya could feel that the swords in the Infinite Sword System were beginning to shatter.
Even though his forging speed is still greater than its breaking speed, this situation will not last long.
Given the condition of his body, if he didn't die, the speed of the shattering would get faster and faster until there was no place for him to stand in the world.
This is the end he finally reached.
Shirou Emiya picked up the broken blade on the ground and saw his own shattered face.
Chapter 637: The Reason Why I Can't Die
"ha--!"
Shirou Emiya, who was lying on the hospital bed, took a sudden breath and sat up abruptly.
The pain coming from the depths of the soul is simply unbearable for ordinary people.
"Emiya-senpai!"
Sakura, who was standing aside, also became extremely excited, and tears kept flashing from the corners of her eyes.
"What time is it now!"
Shirou Emiya covered his forehead and immediately asked Sakura who was standing beside him.
You have to know that when they last faced Leo, there were only two days left until the final battle.
He didn't know how long he had been unconscious, but the fact that he had not been forcibly deleted by Mooncell proved that he still had time. However, the time left for Emiya Shirou might not be much.
Hearing what Shirou Emiya said, Sakura Matou was also stunned, and then as if she thought of something, she answered Shirou Emiya with a very reluctant look on her face.
"Today is the day of the decisive battle. In ten minutes, the gate to the decisive battlefield will close--!"
In the health room, Shinji Matou and Gina were not there. They knew nothing about treating illnesses. Instead of staying in the infirmary, they might as well do something more meaningful.
For example, they could renovate the multimedia classroom so that it could observe the situation in the arena, so that they could directly observe the situation in the arena through the multimedia classroom and provide better support to Shirou Emiya.
As for whether Shirou Emiya can wake up before the final battle.
Both Matou Shinji and Gina were very aware that they could not help at all in this matter.
If Shirou Emiya was really eliminated like this, they could only wait for the end of this Holy Grail War with grief.
"I have to go to the decisive battlefield--!"
Enduring the extremely harsh tearing sensation all over his body, Emiya Shirou quickly got down from the hospital bed.
And on the other side————
"Master, I'm afraid this duel will soon end like this--!"
In the azure blue elevator, Gawain stood beside Leo and spoke slowly.
There are only three minutes left before entering the final battlefield.
If Shirou Emiya does not feel anything during this period of time, Mooncell will automatically judge Leo as the winner, and Shirou Emiya will be deleted directly by Mooncell.
"Gao Wenqing, there is no need to be so anxious. It is too early to draw conclusions now. Even if there are only three minutes left, I believe that Emiya Shirou will be here."
"But with such serious injuries, I'm afraid only a miracle can make him appear here."
Listening to Leo's words, Gawain slowly retorted that the infirmary didn't really belong to Shirou Emiya and the others' base.
Leo and Gawain could naturally go to the infirmary to see Shirou Emiya, who was almost dead.
"A miracle? Don't you think that Emiya-kun has such a possibility?"
Leo did not refute Gawain's words. This was indeed an established fact.
"With such injuries, a normal person would have died long ago, but he is still alive. Such tenacious vitality and the will to resist death under such circumstances can be described as a miracle."
It was as if Shinji Matou didn't believe that Shirou Emiya would stop like this.
Facing an unprecedented person like Shirou Emiya, Leo also believed that he could come here and have the final battle with him.
"I will obey your orders——"
Gawain didn't say much, but stood in front of Leo, holding the holy sword tightly in his hand.
"Zheng——!"
It was as if the sound of something being opened could be heard from this elevator-like space.
A faint light shone from the doorway.
Hearing this voice, Leo couldn't help but smile slightly.
Emiya-kun, you are indeed a person worthy of being called a miracle.
"ha--!"
A weak gasp came from the face in front of me, which looked like shattered glass.
Golden light flashed from the gaps like glue.
Shirou Emiya was leaning against the wall, sweat dripping from his forehead.
The pain, several times stronger than before, swept through Emiya Shirou's body like crazy.
He felt as if there were two huge hands constantly tearing his body apart. If he relaxed even a little, his body would be torn apart by this powerful force.
Not only that, Shirou Emiya's injuries had not yet fully recovered, and his muscles made a violent tearing sound with every step he took.
"Squeak—!"
The door slowly closed. Shirou Emiya endured the pain and weakness in his body and looked at Leo who was emitting an incomparable holy light in front of him.
"You are indeed here."
"But you also understand, even if you break through the [Number of Saints], with your current strength, there is no way you can defeat Gawain. So why did you embark on this path that is bound to fail?"
Leo's words were full of confidence that he would never fail, but they also contained doubts about why Shirou Emiya would still embark on this path despite suffering such serious injuries.
"You are now enduring pain that even I cannot imagine. Your soul has been shattered. Rather than endure such inhumane torture and embark on a journey that is bound to fail, wouldn't it be better to choose to be deleted by Mooncell in your sleep without any pain?"
Survival and death are also topics that Leo explores.
He also attaches great importance to the existence of life, just like Amakusa Shiro Tokisada whom Emiya Shirou met at the beginning.
What Leo values is humanity as a whole, and what he needs is the continuation of humanity as a whole.
And Emiya Shirou, who had been watching from beginning to end, was a human individual.
"After all, I have countless reasons why I can't die."
"I have yet to repay the kindness that Toosaka Rin gave me at the cost of her life."
"Ying is still waiting for me at home."
"I still carry a heavy load of sin on my shoulders."
“There are still many more people who need to be saved.”
"Besides, I want to be a partner of justice, so I can't stop here!"
Shirou Emiya adapted to his body which was about to split apart, and responded to Leo without any hesitation.
His tone was also full of determination, and he was not shaken at all by Leo's words.
These reasons include small ones, great ones, and even some that Leo does not consider to be reasons at all.
But no matter how small or great the reasons were, they were the reasons that allowed Shirou Emiya to persevere through such pain.
Even if it is just for the sake of survival, it is a reason worthy of respect.
Because of these, this is why humans are able to overcome countless adversities.
"That's something I can't refute."
Partners of justice?
It is really a ridiculous, yet great ideal——————
Looking at Shirou Emiya in front of him, the speed of the elevator began to slow down.
The decisive battle is about to come.
Chapter 638 It Must Be Cu Chulainn’s Problem
"Leo's final battle begins--!"
Ginako, who was watching the images in the multimedia classroom, quickly reminded Shinji Matou who was hacking into the Mooncell program nearby.
At this moment in the video, standing on the yellow sand, Emiya Shirou was confronting Gawain.
Like all decisive battlefields, the place where they were located had an extremely vast space.
There was no shelter at all within hundreds of meters.
And around this circular open space, there are all kinds of broken walls and ruins.
Damaged city wall.
Collapsed castle.
Smashed houses.
Scattered armor.
The years have left traces of aging on it.
In the distant sky, yellow sand poured down like a waterfall, causing one storm after another.
The yellow sand flying in the air slowly covered the buildings that fell in the desert, slowly swallowing them.
"Humph! I knew that guy Emiya wouldn't let us down!"
Looking at Shirou Emiya appearing on the screen, Shinji Matou's originally gloomy eyes became excited. He clenched his fists tightly and stared intently at the images being transmitted at this time.
Gina didn't complain about Shinji Matou out loud, because she, like Shinji Matou, was concerned about Shirou Emiya's situation.
The reason why they didn't stay in the infirmary was because they didn't want to see such a cruel scene where Shirou Emiya was deleted by Mooncell because he couldn't go to the final battlefield.
Having said that, deep down in their hearts, Shinji Matou and Ginaka would never believe that a person who risked his life to save his opponent would die so easily.
"Why on earth do you hold that holy sword——"
When it came to the final battle, Gawain couldn't help but continue asking questions to Shirou Emiya.
He really couldn't understand why Arthur would have a connection with such a young man in front of him.
"I once fought in a Holy Grail War."
Emiya Shirou did not choose to annoy Gawain as he did at the beginning, but answered his question directly.
But the movements in his hands did not stop.
