Only then could a maze as complex as an arena be created so easily.
Only then can we create EX-level doors that can only be opened by the power of the mind.
It is even said that the essence of multiple myths can be directly made into a Servant.
Naturally, White-haired Sakura couldn't reach BB's level, nor could she enhance Saint Jeanne's inherent skills to allow it to carry three effects at the same time.
However, it is still possible to use the authority to allow Joan of Arc to reset the effects brought by the saint.
That feather robe is naturally a magic ceremonial outfit developed by White-haired Sakura using the data of Lip compressed space and the [Holy Shroud] made by Jeanne d'Arc. It is also a countermeasure.
However, according to Baifa Ying's calculations, this countermeasure should only last for a few seconds.
The power of her alone is too much of a stretch. If there were people like Toosaka Rin, Matou Shinji, Leo, and Lani who are extremely sensitive to such things and extremely talented, it is impossible for them to really create a magic costume that can resist Lip's compression ability.
But now, after a night of hard work, this is all I can do.
Last night, everyone was fully prepared for today's battle.
Kiara Seshoin locked Andersen in the study, in a small dark room, and urged him to write.
Shirou Emiya was constantly projecting and forging Noble Phantasms in preparation for the situation he would face next, and he was also classifying which Noble Phantasms he could use now and which he could not use.
White-haired Sakura first worked with Jeanne to create a feather robe that could resist compression, and then used the Five Contemplations of the Mind together with Kiara Sesshōin, trying to be able to enter the other person's heart as quickly as possible.
Jeanne then came to Shirou Emiya's side, accompanying Shirou Emiya in projection, forging, and familiarizing herself with the treasures provided by Shirou Emiya.
Many of Shirou Emiya's Noble Phantasms are unable to be used, and now they can only be handed over to Jeanne.
It was under such circumstances that they spent the entire night, facing the imminent battle.
The reason why Shirou Emiya was able to get rid of Cu Chulainn and Drake so quickly was, on the one hand, that he had experience fighting against them and winning, while in the other party's memory, it was only the first time that they fought each other.
Another aspect is to make full preparations one day in advance. With complete and sufficient intelligence, one naturally needs to be prepared to respond properly.
The same is true for the emergence of Infinite Blade System. Its real purpose is not simply to deal with Cu Chulainn and Drake, but also to cut off BB's surveillance.
Even White-haired Sakura can use the labyrinth's surveillance to monitor every move in the surrounding environment. As a machine of the same type with the same permissions and more powerful power, there is no way BB cannot use the surrounding surveillance.
The existence of the spirit world constructed by Mooncell is almost equivalent to an inherent barrier. The Infinite Sword System can even erode the real world, let alone the existence of an inherent barrier.
The goal they wanted to achieve was, of course, to cut off BB's surveillance, so that he could not clearly know their conversation and understand their next plan.
Those surveillances are part of the inherent barrier constructed by Mooncell. They do not belong to the world of Infinite Blade System and can only be observed from outside the world of Infinite Blade System.
The feather robe began to twist the moment it hit the clawed arms, and reversed data burned on it, resisting the compression of space.
A few seconds was more than enough for the two people who were now speeding towards Lip at an extremely terrifying speed.
It was obvious that Lip had never expected that there would be something that could resist her compression, but even if she had reacted and wanted to attack the two people who rushed in front of her, it was too late now.
The sharp tip of Jeanne's flag was pointing at Lip's forehead. At this moment, Emiya Shirou quickly circled around her, with the cold blade in his hand against her neck.
"Is this my end?"
Lip cried out as he looked at Jeanne d'Arc, who would insert the flag between his eyebrows if he made any movement.
She lowered her raised hands and seemed to have completely given up struggling.
In the current situation, no matter how she struggled, it was useless as she was completely controlled.
"Go to the next step, Master——!"
Looking at the extremely sad expression of the girl, even Jeanne's heart was moved, but if they wanted to stop BB, they could not stay here. This was something that both Jeanne and Shirou Emiya understood very well.
Shirou Emiya looked at Lip who had given up resisting, pressed his cold reverse blade against her neck, and then looked straight into her eyes.
"Senior——"
Looking at Emiya Shirou's eyes that didn't waver at all, Lip's eyes became even sadder.
"Get in touch with her deepest self—"
At this moment, Kiara Sesshōin's words rang in Shirou Emiya's mind. He looked into Lip's eyes, then gently pressed his forehead against hers.
"Ah-ah-ah-"
Feeling his inner self being intruded upon, Lip let out a sound of pain and sorrow.
Just like facing the surging waves, Lip's wails continued to hit Emiya Shirou's body.
This is different from the previous place where there was land and even flowers in some places.
In this space, there is only bottomless darkness, as if returning to the imaginary space where even the passage of time cannot be sensed.
The unclear crying sound echoed here. Lip, who was lying in front of Shirou Emiya and crying continuously, was his true self in the deepest part of his heart.
Chapter 721: Unable to Become an Ordinary Person
"Senior, are you going to bully me too?"
With a pitiful expression, as if she was looking at those people who had bullied her in the past, Lip looked at Emiya Shirou who was slowly extending his hand towards her with some fear.
This is a kind of self-protection and distrust of others that has been formed over a long period of time when living in a world where people are bullied by others.
Because even babies will be affected by her physical condition and treat her equally badly.
Naturally, Shirou Emiya could not escape such influence. It could even be said that his previous reaction was only because he suddenly realized that he was about to do something that he extremely hated.
Otherwise, facing Lip, Shirou Emiya would have the same attitude as those people.
Especially after receiving the Five Contemplations, he could feel more strongly the urge from deep within his body to destroy Lip.
Lip closed his eyes tightly, like a prisoner waiting to be executed, his body shaking with fear.
"Senior——"
The expected pain did not come from the body. Emiya Shirou just placed his hand gently on Lip's forehead.
"Why? Why are you treating me so gently? Am I not your enemy?"
Lip's expression at this moment was as if she was about to cry, not that she had already cried. She didn't understand why he still had such expectations of her when he had clearly rejected her.
But even if Shirou Emiya really treated her rudely, she would still love him.
"Are you afraid of my approach?"
Shirou Emiya did not answer Lip's question. Facing such an enemy, he could not use heavy hands against her. If she did not have those special powers, she would just be a rather cowardly and pitiful girl.
"No, no, because, because if I were to be touched, my body would become very painful and very hot—"
"So, I'm scared, scared of being bullied. It's not my fault. It must be that everyone is too mean. It must be that everyone hates me—"
"But I am more afraid of being alone, afraid of loneliness, so, so, senior, can you stay with me forever--"
Lip looked extremely aggrieved, like a child who had no idea what he had done wrong. He stretched out his hands, his eyes full of expectation.
However, Emiya Shirou quickly retreated backwards. At such a close distance, if he was hugged by Lip's hands, he would be crushed into pieces without exception.
This was different from before. Even though Lip had lost her fighting spirit and would not attack Emiya Shirou, she might still hug him, because in her eyes, her hands seemed no different from those of a normal person.
At the moment when Emiya Shirou stepped back, Lip's eyes became dim again.
"Why are you afraid of me? Why are you looking at me like I'm a monster? I'm just an ordinary girl. I'm very ordinary!"
"This is really too much! This is too much! I thought that you would definitely be my prince."
"I thought you wouldn't hate me! You wouldn't abandon me!"
She began to feel heartbroken. Everyone was avoiding her, everyone was afraid of her, and everyone bullied her. She didn't understand what she had done wrong and why she had to be treated like this.
She was afraid of being bullied and being alone.
"Is that right?"
Shirou Emiya suddenly understood why Lip had become so paranoid.
The impact of this [masochistic physique] is not absolute. To be more precise, if Shirou Emiya can react, others can also react.
Because of this change in attitude, you may not feel it at the time, but looking back on it later, you can find that your attitude towards Lip at that time was different from your normal attitude.
It's just that, because of Lip's sensitive constitution and sharp claws that reject other people's kindness, all this became impossible.
Because Lip is afraid of loneliness and being alone, he wants to reach out to others, but when others want to show kindness to him, they will be pushed away by those hands that can destroy everything.
Another aspect is that due to their own special physique, they are completely unable to feel the other person's true feelings, which turns into pain. Finally, because of their masochistic physique, the communication becomes out of control.
It was impossible for Shirou Emiya to get so close to her and risk his life being crushed at any time, because she did not crush people on her own initiative and it might even be an unconscious act.
But if she really wants to communicate with others, Lip must realize that she is not an ordinary person, and her arms can easily destroy everything.
"Are you still ignoring your hands?"
Even if he really recognized his hands as normal people's hands, when releasing the treasure, his hands would be able to fly out and could easily tear apart anything in this world.
She could not deny that she possessed a power that was completely different from that of others. In fact, she should have realized this a long time ago.
"What are you talking about? My hands are just a pair of ordinary girl's-"
Before he finished speaking, a magnificent-looking large sword appeared in Emiya Shirou's hand and was thrown towards Lip's position.
She subconsciously reached out her hand to catch it, and then——
"Crack——!"
The extremely gorgeous-looking sword was crushed by her easily and turned into magic power and dissipated in the air.
"Normal people don't have such terrifying power. You always know in your heart why those people don't want to get too close to you. You understand why everyone looks at you like a monster, but you don't want to accept it. You blame everything on others-"
"No, no, that's disgusting, I don't want to hear such things!"
"I'm very ordinary, I'm just like an ordinary girl, I don't have monster arms, my arms are not weird!"
As if in self-hypnosis, Lip stretched out his hands tremblingly and placed them on his face.
"I'm not a monster—!"
"Those people are just malicious--"
Lip uttered the last sentence tremblingly, but she could no longer deceive herself at this point, as Emiya Shirou had already given her the answer directly.
"Only after accepting your own shortcomings can you face others correctly—"
Looking at Lip who was half sitting on the ground, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but speak.
Chapter 722 Please Live Well
"Senior, you like me, right? That's why you treat me so gently, tell me my problems, and teach me like this."
"No, I don't like you."
The burning love and burning emotions rushed towards Shirou Emiya like flames.
However, Emiya Shirou answered her in a decisive tone.
"Why, why can the seniors be so cruel!?"
"Do you hate me?"
"I am willing to change myself. I will face my own strength. I will try to accept everything, as long as I can make you like me—"
"So, so, please, please, senior, don't leave me, don't abandon me, don't hate me, don't, abandon me!"
Lip's words were full of pleading. She begged Shirou Emiya to stay and not leave her.
But this is an impossible thing.
Regardless of the purpose they wanted to achieve, or the door that would take Emiya Shirou away in a few days, it was destined that Emiya Shirou could not stay here.
"I will not stay here. Stop BB and rescue those trapped on the back side of the moon by BB. These are what they and I will do next."
"I, I don't understand. I don't understand what the senior said at all. It's obvious that if I don't leave here, I will be safe. It's obvious that if I stay with you, I will be happy-"
"Why do you say such willful words, senior? Don't you want everyone to be happy? Why can't I be happy——"
"Why would Senior behave in such a contradictory way? I, I don't understand! I love you so much——"
Looking at Emiya Shirou who did not waver at all in front of her, Lip's tone became even more flustered.
"Happiness is not blind. I can't make everyone happy. I just try my best to do it."
This is what Shirou Emiya pursues, this is what Shirou Emiya wants to do.
It was as if he wanted to save everyone, but in reality, even if Shirou Emiya gave everything he had, he was unable to save everyone.
