"Don't worry, intercept it!"
Leo, who was standing behind Gawain, didn't seem to worry at all that Gawain's heart would be pierced, but gave him this order softly.
"As you command, my lord!"
Chapter 640: The Territory Has Been Broken
For some reason, Emiya Shirou felt a slight dislike for Cu Chulainn. However, it was not the same kind of disgust as he felt towards Kotomine Kirei. It was more like a slight dislike for him, as if he just couldn't get along with him.
In fact, he didn't really understand whether this was a feeling of disgust. He had only met Cu Chulainn for a short time and he had only met Cu Chulainn twice. Why did the man in blue leave such a deep impression on him?
He didn't know, but it was true that Shirou Emiya said that Cu Chulainn's Noble Phantasm was really useful.
Not only does it have the effect of killing with one blow, but the consumption of magic power to release the treasure is also very low. Now it is basically the same as Murasame. Facing a fierce battle, Shirou Emiya will quickly project it out and release it when he finds an opportunity.
But the only drawback now is that as a gun, the projection speed is far slower than that of a sword.
He was able to project the gun so quickly because he was currently unfolding the Infinite Sword Technique.
Shirou Emiya can directly take out this spear from his already broken Infinite Sword Works and use it.
However, due to the shattering of the Infinite Sword System, Shirou Emiya could no longer use the Noble Phantasms from the Infinite Sword System to a large extent while chanting as he did before.
"Boom--!"
Accompanied by a roar that resounded throughout the space, the scarlet spear collided heavily with the holy sword in Gawain's hand, turning into a sound wave that vibrated out like a circle of shock waves.
However, also at this moment.
"choke--!"
The red spear light, which was as fast as lightning, suddenly turned, twisted, and suddenly changed direction, piercing towards Gawain's heart.
The defensive spell instantly lit up on Gawain's body, blocking the red spear from piercing through.
Then, just like a mirror shattering, the defensive spell was destroyed after only a few seconds.
However, the few seconds that the defensive spell bought Gawain were enough for him to dodge to the side.
At this moment, the spear light actually brushed against the edge of Gawain's cheek and flew away.
A great deal of luck gave Gawain the opportunity to dodge, and Leo's defensive technique bought Gawain a few seconds of evasion time, allowing him to avoid the blow that was originally intended to hit his heart.
However, Emiya Shirou seemed to have anticipated that Gawain possessed the ability to resist the piercing Deaththorn Spear.
This was something that Toosaka Rin had already told Emiya Shirou.
This is not because she asked Cu Chulainn to release the Noble Phantasm to Gawain, it is just the simplest inference.
What's more, Toosaka Rin is not like Emiya Shirou, who doesn't know how to look at the opponent's servant's values.
As a Master, you can see the values of various Servant.
The better the magician, the more he can see.
Of course, because Leo is also an extremely outstanding existence, Toosaka Rin can't see much of Gawain's value.
But what is certain is that it is not so easy to kill Gawain, the Sun Knight, by piercing the Deaththorn Spear.
"Forge his bones, burn his soul--!"
“Fight to the death in a desperate situation but never give up————!”
At the moment when Gawain was defending against the spear of death thorns, Emiya Shirou chanted at the fastest speed.
The surrounding scene seemed to be invaded and began to change drastically.
Countless cracks appeared from the ground, as if the ground was split into several pieces. Leo and Gawain could see golden lines emerging in the air with their naked eyes.
The ground also broke apart and turned into several islands floating in the air.
The whole world seemed desolate.
Countless cracks spread throughout the entire space, as if the space would shatter with a casual strike.
At this time, the earth was also constantly suspended in the air.
Leo and Gawain looked down at this time, and could only see the extremely dark sky.
In this world, the concepts of heaven and earth have become confused.
It's more like the real ground has been shattered and is suspended in the air.
The sky turned into the ground.
"Inherent barrier? Emiya-kun's abilities are truly beyond our imagination—!"
Standing on a desolate island suspended in the air with dozens of sword arrows piercing it, Leo spoke slowly.
He could imagine what kind of scenery and glory this mental barrier once had.
But at this moment, the ground that was originally covered with countless sword arrows split apart and turned into hundreds or even thousands of small pieces that were suspended and floating in the air.
Even most of the ground suspended in the air was swallowed up by the cracks.
This piece of land with inherent barrier became extremely scarce, and Shirou Emiya had no way to deal with the rain-like attack.
“Gao Wenqing, release all your strength. This battle requires us to go all out from the beginning—!”
Leo did not continue to stand there and watch the fight between Emiya Shirou and Gawain, but took a step forward in this world where the concepts of heaven and earth were confused.
"Yeah, I never thought that I could reach this level just by relying on a human body--!"
Even as an enemy, Gawain couldn't help but praise him out loud. From any perspective, Emiya Shirou was an outstanding person.
"But unfortunately, for the sake of my Lord's wish and the continuation of all mankind, I can only ask you to leave here——!"
"This sword is the embodiment of the sun. It is the sun flame that burns away all impurities."
"Excalibur Gallatin"
It almost needs no explanation, with Leo's incomparably abundant magic power, Gawain can almost unleash his treasure for a long time.
It can even allow the treasure to last until the end of a battle.
The dazzling light once again appeared from Gawain's hand, and the golden sword light extended to the edge of the sky in an instant.
But this time, Shirou Emiya might not be able to release the power of the eternally distant golden sword.
He was standing on another piece of ground floating in the wind, staring at Gawain.
The dark magic power suddenly surged in Emiya Shirou.
A pitch-black spear was tightly held in his hand.
The Vlad III in this world is not like the Vlad III that Emiya Shirou knows, with an attack range of one kilometer in radius and a maximum number of stakes of up to 20,000.
The most important reason is that this is not Romanian territory.
If it were within Romanian territory, [The Impaler] would be liberated to the greatest extent.
The steel spears that Vlad III unleashed would never pierce the enemy continuously from his body.
Instead, like the black Lancer Vlad III, he was able to instantly shoot out a terrifyingly powerful steel gun directly under the enemy's feet.
However, when it comes to territory.
To a certain extent, Unlimited Blade Works is Shirou Emiya's territory.
【Not because of hatred】
【Not for pleasure】
This is a necessary sacrifice
[To bring terror to the enemy]
【Kazikli Bey】
A deadly threat instantly burst out from under Gawain's feet.
Chapter 641: A Battle That Cannot Be Victorious
Broken sky.
Broken earth.
A fragmented space.
And then there is the Broken Man.
Golden light penetrated the sky. Amid the trembling of space and the explosion of air, a ruthless sword light rose from the sky, mixed with an avalanche-like momentum, suddenly rising up as if it was going to completely split the space in half.
"Clang, clang, clang, clang!"
The sound of metal clashing rang out continuously, and countless iron stakes suddenly protruded from the ground and turned into the sharpest spears.
At this moment, the ground beneath Gawain's feet changed shape.
They showed no mercy at all, and the terrifying iron stakes tore through the air and pierced into various parts of Gawain's body.
However, Gawain did not look panicked at all. He stomped his feet on the ground, and the long sword in his hand, which was flashing with terrifying light, destroyed everything and swung it fiercely at his feet.
“Ding ding ding ding ding ding!!!!!”
That was the sound of the iron stakes colliding with the armor Gawain was wearing.
“Crack, click, click!!!!”
That was the sound of defensive spells and armor beginning to shatter.
If he had jumped up a second later, the horrible iron stake would have pierced straight through his body.
At the moment Gawain jumped up, a beam of golden light destroyed the ground beneath his feet.
“Swish, swish, swish!!!”
Countless sword arrows shot out with piercing screams, attacking Gawain like a rain curtain.
At this moment, Gawain, who was jumping in the air, had no way to dodge.
However, this level of attack——
The sword light, which seemed to have no end, flashed by in an instant, but the sudden light did not affect Gawain's swinging speed.
All that could be seen was a flash of light, and all the flying sword arrows were swallowed up.
“There—!”
At this moment, Gawain, who was flying in the air, locked onto Shirou Emiya's position, and the lightsaber in his hand, which stretched to an unknown distance of hundreds of meters, once again burst out with an extremely scorching light.
Aiming at Emiya Shirou's position, he chopped down without hesitation—!
"I didn't start it all——"
"It's not the end of everything——"
"Covering the Seven Rings of Blazing Heaven (Rho Aias)!!!!!!"
As the words fell, Emiya Shirou stretched out his left hand, and a cherry blossom-like shield appeared in front of him.
"Boom--!"
A horrifying impact instantly erupted from right in front of Emiya Shirou, and the giant golden sword in the sky slashed heavily on the cherry blossom-shaped shield.
Under normal circumstances, there is no way Emiya Shirou could project this shield so quickly.
In Unlimited Blade Works, Shirou Emiya does not need to project items. For all weapons and armor, Shirou Emiya can directly use them without projecting them.
He was able to quickly switch weapons in his hands in a very short time, and he was also able to take out the shield in an instant.
“Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah!”
In just a few seconds, the shield of Ajax, the hero used in the Trojan War, instantly shattered into four layers of petals.
A terrifying pressure rose from the sky, forcing Shirou Emiya, who was wearing [Devil Haunted], to half-kneel.
He was still in a weak state, and the previous head-on conflict with Gawain was already the limit of what he could do.
However, Shirou Emiya, who was half-kneeling, raised his head and looked straight at the golden beam of light that filled the sky, without any retreat in his eyes.
"Standing only on the top of Sword Hill, shouldering the long-cherished wish of all things——————"
"Forging numerous swords alone——"
