"Someone come! Someone come save me!!!"
The girl shouted and ran forward with all her might, her eyes filled with the desire to survive.
"It's an NPC—"
Sakura, who was on Emiya Shirou's back, saw the girl running towards them and immediately revealed her identity.
“Lancer——!”
For the sake of the company, he really wanted to rush out and support the girl, but he couldn't just leave Sakura there, so he could only let Jeanne go and lend a helping hand.
When Jeanne heard what Shirou Emiya said, she kicked the ground hard without any hesitation and rushed forward. Although she didn't know who was chasing her from behind, she had already planned to rescue the other person.
However----
"Stop, she's beyond saving!"
The moment Jeanne was suddenly exposed dozens of meters away, Sakura immediately shouted.
"The liquid on her body is Lilith's virus. We have no way to save her. Even if we bring her here, she will dissolve and die!"
With extremely sad eyes, Sakura looked at the girl who had a very strong will to survive.
There was no way to save the situation, and death was the final outcome for the girl.
"No, there is another way——!"
Chapter 742: The Qualifications of a Saint
"What are you going to do!?"
Sakura suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Devouring those viruses——"
Emiya Shirou's words became colder, as if he was suddenly affected by something.
Almost in an instant, Sakura understood what Emiya Shirou was planning to do.
Use the [evil] that can devour any data to devour Lilith's virus.
"Wait! Senior, this is not possible! You can't continue to use this power!"
Sakura's tone was very anxious. This kind of power did not need much introduction. Just the disgusting and terrifying aura in it was enough to tell that it was not a good thing.
She didn't understand why Shirou Emiya could use things that even she, an advanced AI, didn't dare to touch.
But she understood that although Shirou Emiya was able to suppress that [evil] now, excessive use would have extremely serious consequences both mentally and physically.
not to mention----
"Senior, although the viruses of [Evil] and Lilith have similar effects, they are not in opposition. If they are injected into the body of that NPC, the most likely outcome is that [Evil] will not devour the virus, but will devour her together with the virus!"
Seeing that Emiya Shirou was not shaken at all by her persuasion, Sakura became more and more anxious.
"But there's no other way now, right?"
Emiya Shirou paused slightly, tilted his head, and responded to Sakura.
Apart from this way, there is no other way to save the person in front of us.
If anything, there was one thing on him that could definitely stop the virus from dissolving her, and that was something called [Avalon].
But putting aside the fact that its magic power is almost exhausted, it can only ensure that Shirou Emiya's soul will not be torn into pieces, and it has no way to provide any recovery effect.
On the other hand, even if Avalon still had magic power left, Shirou Emiya would not be able to remove it from his body.
Joan of Arc stood aside and listened to their conversation, keeping an eye on her surroundings to prevent any unexpected situations.
She did not choose to go with Sakura to stop Shirou Emiya, nor did she agree with his approach. She just stood aside silently, waiting for Shirou Emiya's decision.
Jeanne was both thankful and worried that Shirou Emiya possessed the power called "evil".
It's not because [Evil] provides powerful strength, nor is she a person who pursues power.
However, this power provided Shirou Emiya with the opportunity to make a choice at this moment.
Many times, people don’t have the opportunity to choose.
On the battlefield, Joan of Arc witnessed too many lives and deaths. How many people asked her for help, and how many people she could have saved? However, due to the war situation, she could not provide any help and could only watch her comrades and her people die.
She is repenting, always repenting.
Whether Shirou Emiya saves her or not, Jeanne will not have any prejudice against Shirou Emiya, as she has also experienced this kind of thing.
If I fail to defeat BB because I saved the person in front of me, it will eventually lead to the extinction of mankind.
Joan of Arc doesn't think, nor does she need to think. She leaves the matter in front of her to the person in front of her. No matter what decision Shirou Emiya makes, she will stand firmly behind him.
“But, but——”
She's just an NPC.
Sakura couldn't say such words, because if she had to say it, she was actually just an NPC, but with higher authority than those NPCs.
If the permissions are removed, there will be no difference between me and those NPCs, so why would I be superior to others?
However, compared to those NPCs, Emiya Shirou is obviously more important in her heart.
"Let it be. Even if we really can't save her, it's better than doing nothing and standing there watching others die."
With these words, the invisible Emiya Shirou took a step forward and rushed towards the girl who was constantly calling for help without any hesitation.
Their figures were all under the influence of the Faceless King and were never revealed from beginning to end.
The breath of evil is not such an obvious thing. If others can easily sense it as soon as it appears, the Cursed Arm will not be able to rely on the black mud to launch sneak attacks on the servants.
"flutter--!"
As if she had bumped into something, the panicked girl fell backwards.
But then it seemed to be caught by something and hovered in the air.
"I have a way to remove the virus from you!"
Seeing the girl's despair in her eyes, Emiya Shirou quickly spoke.
"!!!!!!"
The flame of hope suddenly appeared in her eyes.
Although it was impossible for Lilith to watch the surveillance all the time, Shirou Emiya did not dare to take the risk. After all, if such a raid was discovered, the only option waiting for them would be to be surrounded and attacked.
"But this is just a possibility, because I am not completely sure. I even say that there is a high probability that you will die during the treatment, and it will be an extremely painful death."
Looking at the girl who was gleaming with hope before him, Emiya Shirou spoke very calmly.
Just like what Ying said, this method is very dangerous. It is very likely that instead of saving the other party from the virus, it will fall into another abyss.
He planned to seek the other party's consent. He could not force this kind of thing, and he would not force it, because there was a high possibility that the other party would die in his hands.
Find new life in pain, or die easily, this is the choice the girl faces.
This is also a choice she must make, and it is not something that others can do for her.
“I accept—!!”
After struggling for a while, her eyes were filled with an extremely strong desire to survive. She wanted to survive. She had already run here and even met someone who could save her. Why should she stay in a place like this?
She understood exactly what had been injected into her body. She watched her companions die one after another in front of her and be dissolved. She should have been in despair, but she barely escaped under the protection of her companions.
Even if not for herself, she must live on for the sake of her companions who are suffering so much!
"Thanks--"
For some reason, the girl's gratitude should have come from Emiya Shirou's mouth.
If the girl chose to die, Emiya Shirou could only watch a life pass away in front of his eyes, but now there is a chance to save her.
Emiya Shirou thanked the girl for wanting to live.
Jeanne, who was standing nearby, saw it. She saw the qualities of a saint that Shirou Emiya possessed.
Chapter 743 I Curse You
Although it is daytime now, it is always night on this floor.
The incomplete moon hangs high in the sky, and the broken palace tells of the sin within.
It is a city of sin, and even the slightest breeze can make you feel the misery within.
"You can't do that—"
"give up--"
"You'll only give her a painful death—"
It was an extremely lazy voice, a voice filled with denial. It was persuading Shirou Emiya to give up and destroying his spirit.
"Kill kill kill!!!"
"Devour everything. Devour the girl in front of you, and devour the virus!!!"
"You will become stronger. You will be strong enough to ignore those walls of your heart!"
"You can take Mooncell and become a god!!!"
It was an extremely bloody sound, a sound full of temptation. It was luring Shirou Emiya to move forward and occupying Shirou Emiya's thoughts.
Countless voices echoed in Emiya Shirou's mind, wanting to destroy him, wanting to devour him.
That is all the evil that Mooncell has recorded from ancient times to the present, the evil that comes from human beings, or even the evil that comes from living things. It is evil that almost no one can resist.
Shirou Emiya tried hard to suppress his brain that was about to swell up under the stimulation of evil. At this moment, he was extremely grateful that his body was in such a bad condition.
The severe pain allowed him to maintain relatively clear thinking even under the influence of evil. Whenever he was led away by evil, he would be awakened by the pain that ordinary people could not bear.
He tried hard to suppress the purple-black quagmire surging in his body.
Looking at the extremely weak girl in front of him, Shirou Emiya tightly grasped her arm, sweat dripping from his forehead.
An extremely fine purple-black mud-like substance emerged from his arm and, under Emiya Shirou's difficult control, penetrated into the girl's body.
This was his first attempt to control this terrifying thing. He had no opportunity to try, and no one to try on.
Even though this was only the first time he was controlling it, Shirou Emiya had to use all his strength to control it.
If a mistake is made, a life will die in his hands.
He didn't die at the hands of Lilith, but at the hands of Shirou Emiya.
“Ugh! Ahh ...
A painful and miserable sound roared out from the girl's mouth. She only felt that her body was being eaten by two wild beasts. The severe pain made her unable to do anything other than roaring.
Her brain stopped thinking and she struggled, trying to break free from Shirou Emiya's arm, but she was bound by his extraordinary strength.
“Ugh! Let me go! You bastard!!!!”
A purple-black aura emerged from the girl's body. Not everyone has a will as strong as steel like Emiya Shirou, and not everyone can endure such pain.
Even if you make a decision that ordinary people cannot make, you cannot endure the pain that ordinary people cannot bear.
Malice filled her mind, and a tearing feeling permeated her entire body. Shirou Emiya's forehead was already covered with sweat. He was trying very hard to control the malice that had entered her body, trying every means to devour the virus.
The current situation is just as Sakura said, Lilith's virus and evil are not mutually exclusive. If they exist in the same body at the same time, the result will be that both will dissolve/devour it.
That's why the girl felt such great pain, or perhaps because she was affected by malicious intent. Her emotions began to become extremely unstable. While struggling, she began to insult Shirou Emiya.
He even went so far as to attack the front with all his might. His eyes were stained with blood and his whole body was twisted.
"I hate you, I curse you for making me endure this kind of pain, for letting me die in such a miserable way. Even if I become a ghost, even if I fall into hell, I will forever curse you to die in the same pain as me!"
As the girl spoke viciously, her figure disappeared into the air.
The air suddenly became heavy.
Failed————
It failed without a doubt.
The girl cursed Emiya Shirou with vicious words and disappeared forever.
Whether dissolved by the virus or devoured by [evil], her data will not be retained.
