Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

Even though they appeared to be evenly matched from a distance, with both sides suffering losses, Rin Tohsaka and Julius, who were observing the battlefield from afar, as well as Shirou Emiya, were all very clear about the situation.

In this head-on confrontation, he was constantly being crushed against the wall by Li Shuwen.

Even in his berserk state, Li Shuwen was still able to use some techniques through his instincts, and even unleash twice the power in an instant.

If Li Shuwen's strength in Berserker state is still B, then he can instantly unleash a power of B+.

However, even if Li Shuwen's strength was only B in his berserk state, it was still greater than his strength in his Assassin state.

In that half-minute of conflict, the wall behind Shirou Emiya was almost shattered.

Rin Tohsaka also focused her attention fully, determined to eliminate Julius even as the situation became increasingly unfavorable.

However, as the captain of a terrorist unit privately established by a Western European conglomerate, Julius's combat experience and combat skills far surpass those of Rin Tohsaka.

Furthermore, even in his undead state, Julius was still able to utilize the supercomputer connected to his brain.

It's virtually impossible for Rin Tohsaka to defeat Julius in a short time.

If this continues, their defeat is almost inevitable!

Even before he could truly clash with Leo, he was already destined to be defeated by Julius, who had crawled out of hell.

"Bam—!"

Another violent clash erupted, producing a muffled thud that made hearts clench, and sending gusts of wind blowing in all directions.

The wall behind Shirou Emiya finally gave way and shattered.

"boom--!"

Under the terrifying impact, Shirou Emiya was sent flying like an arrow, crashing into the other side of the castle wall.

At that moment, a voice that was extremely familiar to everyone present came from the other side of the castle wall behind Shirou Emiya.

"It seems the battle is taking place here—!"

Chapter 624 The Difficult Situation Caused by Unfavorable Terrain

"This space—!"

Gao Wen gripped the Sun Sword tightly in his hand, standing in front of Leo, staring intently at the ground and city walls that resembled a black swamp, his eyes filled with a serious expression.

Even without stepping inside, Gawain could feel the extremely repulsive negative emotions emanating from it.

"Master!"

But Gawain did not make a judgment on his own. Instead, he slowly looked at Leo behind him and waited for him to give the order.

"Keep moving forward, don't worry about me, Gawain. Mere negative emotions can't affect me at all."

Seeing Gawain's serious expression, Leo smiled gently and gestured for them to continue. He wanted to know why these negative emotions had gathered here.

What exactly happened in this area?

Leo was very interested in this.

"Yes, Master!"

Gawain did not hesitate at all in response to Leo's decision. He took the lead and stepped into the area that was being swallowed by negative emotions to clear the way for Leo, his eyes showing no sign of retreat.

But he still felt a little worried, constantly monitoring Leo's condition behind him. If anything unexpected happened, Gawain would get him out of there as quickly as possible.

These negative emotions surged toward Gawain and Leo as if they had spotted new prey.

Gawain frowned deeply, the knight's sword in his hand radiating the light of the sun, constantly dispelling the negative emotions around him.

As a Servant, his personal will is extremely strong, and those negative emotions only caused Gawain's emotions to fluctuate very slightly.

But what surprised him, yet was also understandable, was Leo following behind Gawain, who seemed completely unaffected by these negative emotions.

It's important to understand that even with all these negative emotions flooding in, Gao Wen was still somewhat affected.

Leo, on the other hand, was completely unaffected by these negative emotions.

It's as if those negative emotions, like encountering something terrifying, began to constantly distance themselves from Leo.

"The ideal King Sheng."

Gawain couldn't help but utter the word again, a word that others, and even Leo himself, had been using all the time.

The ideal person, the perfect person, is indeed such a being. Leo has no human flaws or negative emotions, so naturally those negative emotions cannot affect him.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Before they had even stepped into this realm of negative emotions, a violent collision came from the side.

It was a collision as powerful as thunder.

It was an explosion like dynamite.

Leo and Gawain arrived at the same answer in an instant.

"Two Servants are fighting here—!"

Having already fought four rounds, those who have made it this far have found that the hostile programs in the maze are merely decorations, possessing almost no ability to threaten the participants.

Moreover, under normal circumstances, the hostile program would have been eliminated long ago in such a collision, instead of continuing to erupt with extremely strong collisions as it is now.

Leo didn't believe the level of hostility could be that strong.

Gawain and Leo quickly ran through the maze.

Then——

"boom--!"

A violent crashing sound came from the city wall beside them.

"It looks like the battle is just ahead!"

With these words in mind, at Leo's prompting, Gawain quickened his pace again and sped toward the passage to the side.

The negative emotions covering this space seemed to sense something and began to shrink at an extremely terrifying speed.

In just a few seconds, the oppressive atmosphere around them vanished without a trace.

It was as if it had never existed.

When Gao Wen arrived at the location of the impact sound from the side passage, he was already there.

There was nothing there anymore.

Opposite them was a city wall with a hole in it that had been destroyed.

Blood was clearly visible splattered everywhere.

There must have been an extremely fierce battle here, even the incredibly strong white wall was shattered.

Leo slowly appeared from behind Gawain.

"Master, I'm too late! The two who were fighting here have already left!"

Upon seeing Leo appear, Gawain spoke softly with an apologetic expression.

"It's alright. The other side should have sensed us when we appeared on the other side of the wall. There should be a logout point nearby, otherwise, it would have been impossible to retreat so quickly during the fight."

With these words in mind, Leo and Gawain quickly discovered the exit point standing at the corner of the wall on the other side of the breached city wall.

"Master, besides Shirou Emiya, are there any other Masters who can enter this arena?"

Seeing that Leo didn't seem surprised at all, Gawain couldn't help but ask.

Because, judging solely from the results...

They rushed from the distant labyrinth, but found nothing.

"No, the answer is already clear, my dear brother—!"

Leo glanced at Gawain beside him, then looked up at the sky with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Although he did not receive those negative emotions, it did not mean that Leo could not sense the presence of Julius, who was the dominant force within those negative emotions.

"One of the two sides that are fighting is our opponent, Emiya-kun, and Tohsaka-san, who survived and decided to help Emiya-kun."

Leo slowly walked to the side of the wall, which was charred from the damage caused by the gem magic.

With just a little understanding, one can see that such destruction was caused by Jewel Magic, and in this Holy Grail War, there is only one person who can use Jewel Magic.

"I understand, Master."

Gawain's mind worked quickly, and with Leo's reminder, he soon found out who the two sides fighting were.

"It's about time. Now that Emiya-kun has retreated, there's no reason for us to stay in the arena any longer. Let's leave from this logout point!"

"Yes!"

Gawain answered Leo's words softly, and then left with Leo.

Tsukiumihara Academy, health room.

At this moment, Kirisaki was hurriedly bandaging Shirou Emiya, whose body was covered in bruises.

Although Li Shuwen, as a Berserker, could no longer easily shatter his internal organs as before, the powerful force, along with the extra strength mixed in, continued to penetrate the protection of [Evil Spirit Possession] and hit his body inside.

As a Berserker, Li Shuwen didn't care about his injuries at all. Even when Shirou Emiya's knight's sword slammed heavily into his shoulder, he remained unmoved and continued to punch Shirou Emiya's body.

"Seriously, we haven't even clashed with Leo head-on yet, and this has already happened!"

"It's all my fault. If only I had taken care of Julius sooner!"

Sitting next to Shirou Emiya, Rin Tohsaka was somewhat indignant and blamed herself. If Leo hadn't suddenly appeared around them at that moment, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Ultimately, however, the battleground was simply too small, preventing Shirou Emiya from breaking free from Li Shuwen's restraints and unleashing his full power.

Li Shuwen, on the other hand, was able to launch attacks at will, leaving Shirou Emiya with no choice but to fight him to the bitter end.

I'm afraid the same situation would occur if he were to fight Gawain; this terrain is really not conducive to Shirou Emiya's fighting.

Fortunately, Li Shuwen is currently in a berserk state; otherwise, Shirou Emiya wouldn't have been able to hold out against him for so long.

Even in Li Shuwen's berserk state, Emiya Shirou's skills could not compare; he could only manage to engage in a prolonged battle with him, unlike before.

However, if the battle continues for a long time, the loser will still be Emiya Shirou.
