Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

A crisp sword cry suddenly rang out in the air, drawing up a long streak of sword light, like a silver moon slicing through the sky, as it struck.

"Qiang!"

With a crisp clang, the sharp knight's sword sliced ​​through the air like a flash of light, slashing heavily down toward Shirou Emiya's head.

Amidst the bursting sparks, and with the slash of the azure longsword, Shirou Emiya held his gold and red knight's swords in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, an absolutely terrifying force came from his hands, and Shirou Emiya, who was holding his twin swords in front of him, slid his feet hard on the ground, creating two deep grooves.

Chapter 629 The So-Called Underworld Combo

When he finally stopped, Shirou Emiya could feel his hands, which were holding the sword, starting to go numb.

Meanwhile, Rin Tohsaka watched this scene with extreme tension, keeping a close eye on Leo, ready to prevent him from intervening to support Gawain.

Leo, too, possesses the power to provide his Servants with the strength to fight, just like himself.

Although she was confident that she could defeat Leo head-on, as the most perfect designed baby in the Harvey family, Rin Tohsaka did not think she could quickly defeat Leo in a short time.

Facing a formidable enemy like Leo, Rin Tohsaka couldn't possibly be distracted by Shirou Emiya's battle.

She is already a loser, and her current goal is not to stop Leo, but to help Shirou Emiya stop Leo.

“Ms. Tohsaka, there’s no need to look at me so warily. Although Emiya-kun’s journey has been incredibly surprising, Gawain’s strength is even greater than you imagine. Even if I don’t make a move, Emiya-kun wouldn’t last more than a few rounds against Gawain!”

Looking at Rin Tohsaka, who was standing not far away from him, Leo spoke in a gentle voice. Rin Tohsaka did not sense any hostility from Leo at all.

Rin Tohsaka is now the loser and has lost her threat to Leo in this Holy Grail War.

Moreover, even if Rin Tohsaka were still a contestant, Leo wouldn't show any hostility towards her, because the winner would only be him.

"As expected of the Sun Knight, his power is so immense even with the sun hanging in the sky!"

Emiya Shirou swung his slightly numb arm, and his gaze toward Gawain grew increasingly serious. With just one strike, Emiya Shirou could imagine how troublesome Gawain was.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Gao Wen, without any hesitation, once again held his longsword in front of him, his fighting spirit undiminished.

"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you'll be eliminated here!"

"Snapped!"

In the next instant, Gawain shattered the floorboards, his figure transforming into a black shadow as he burst forth.

In his hand, the silver knight's sword gleamed with a sun-like luster. Under its master's wielding, it transformed into a sharp sword light, striking forward mercilessly like a thunderbolt.

"choke!"

The sword, invisible to the naked eye, suddenly slashed down. With a clearly audible sword cry, the longsword, gleaming with the light of the sun, once again collided with the shoulders in Shirou Emiya's hands.

"Qiang!"

Amidst the clanging sound of steel clashing against steel, Shirou Emiya, gripping his twin swords tightly, suddenly felt his body sink, and the crimson lightning flashing all over his body abruptly stopped.

Then——

"Buzz!"

Magic surged from Shirou Emiya's body towards the two knight swords in his hands, and wisps of golden lines crawled from Shirou Emiya's neck up to his face.

Before Gao Wen could even show a look of surprise, light instantly flooded into his eyes.

He immediately felt an extremely heavy hammer blow in his hand, and his arm trembled slightly. A powerful gust of wind exploded in front of Gawain at that moment.

It was launched several meters away before landing steadily.

Before Gawain, golden and crimson light intertwined in Shirou Emiya's hands, and intense magical energy swirled around the two knight swords in his hands, rubbing against the air and reverberating outwards.

Everything around them was disrupted by these two magical forces.

What sent Gawain flying was not the sudden increase in force from Shirou Emiya, but the intense magical force erupting from the two knight swords.

Using these two weapons to firmly suppress the amplified magical power onto the sword is no easy task.

On the one hand, it requires a very high level of mastery over these two weapons that have amplification effects.

Another aspect is that it requires an extremely high level of mastery of magic to be able to do it.

While Shirou Emiya's control over weapons wasn't at its peak, it was still sufficient for him to utilize this ability.

As for magic, he was able to suppress his own powerful magic, which was so strong that no magician in the city could ignore it.

Furthermore, in those constant battles, Shirou Emiya made full use of his already scarce magical power, which is enough to show that Shirou Emiya also had full control over his magical power.

Only in this way could Shirou Emiya maintain firm control over the magic power within the sword.

Even so, the consumption of magic power is incredibly terrifying.

Given the current situation, even with Rin Tohsaka's magical energy supply, Shirou Emiya would only be able to fight for a few minutes at most.

But what Shirou Emiya needs to do now is not to survive in Gawain's hands, but to fight him and, at the crucial moment, in the instant the lights go out, severely injure him.

Because Shirou Emiya releases his magic through his weapon, he cannot, like Mordred, simultaneously release magic to strengthen himself while concentrating it on his knight's sword.

"To be able to master those two weapons to this extent, you seem to have some skill!"

With a slightly shocked look in his eyes, Gawain looked at the golden light shimmering in Shirou Emiya's hand and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Suddenly, Shirou Emiya pointed his twin swords at his back.

A powerful surge of magical energy erupted from behind Shirou Emiya at that moment.

As if in a flash, in the blink of an eye, with only a crimson and a golden trail of smoke visible, Shirou Emiya appeared in front of Gawain.

"!"

Gawain's pupils contracted sharply.

A flash of sword light suddenly appeared in the space.

Like thunder.

Like a flash of light.

Two beams of magic appeared without any warning, instantly cutting through the air and heading towards Gawain.

"Qiang!"

The loud sounds of impact reverberated throughout the room.

Accompanying it were sparks that exploded suddenly, like fireworks.

Accompanied by intense beams of light, Shirou Emiya swung his twin swords repeatedly at Gawain.

"Clang, clang, clang, clang!"

Golden and crimson sword lights clashed repeatedly with silver sword lights, creating the sounds of steel clashing in battle.

Emiya Shirou gritted his teeth and, with Rin Tohsaka's magic power being rapidly depleted, gripped the two knight swords in his hands that were bursting with intense magic power, launching a series of fierce attacks like a raging storm.

Gao Wen calmly wielded his longsword, constantly deflecting Emiya Shirou's fierce and relentless sword strikes.

The situation suddenly reached a stalemate.

However, this stalemate will not last long —

In the blink of an eye, the situation reversed.

Emiya Shirou gained the ability to barely fight Gawain head-on through his weapon, but he was unable to suppress Gawain's skills.

After only a brief entanglement, Gawain quickly seized several weaknesses in Shirou Emiya, turning Shirou from the offensive side into the defensive side.

However, Shirou Emiya has always been aware of his technical weaknesses.

"A great opportunity—!"

Gawain's expression hardened, and he seized upon Shirou Emiya's weakness once again. He brandished his longsword, which shone with a dazzling silver light under the sun, and slashed at Shirou Emiya's exposed abdomen.

At that very moment, Gao Wen, who had just swung his weapon, suddenly felt an extremely strong pressure coming from his body.

His feet bent downwards instantly, and the sword he was swinging also quickly deflected downwards.

Just as Gawain was still reeling from the sensations he felt, a seemingly ordinary samurai sword appeared from the space beside him.

A strong sense of crisis quickly spread throughout Gawain's body.

Chapter 630 Leo's Scheme (Revised)

"boom--!"

The pitch-black curse exploded instantly as Shirou Emiya finished speaking, scattering in all directions.

The power was so great that it could only leave a few white marks on Shirou Emiya's armor, but the range of the curse was thirty or forty meters.

Although Gawain possessed three times the strength of his usual self, he was still unable to adapt to the oppressive gravity pressing down on him in an instant.

Just like how Shirou Emiya was able to make Li Shuwen's steps falter instantly through gravity at the beginning, but as time went on and Li Shuwen adapted to this gravity, it could no longer have a strong restrictive effect.

Emiya Shirou is currently using this gravity as a one-time event.

That is, to make the opponent reveal a weakness in an instant, and then let the Murasame, which carries the curse of one-hit kill, explode in front of him.

Because Shirou Emiya is wearing full-coverage armor called "Demon Possession," he doesn't need to worry about these curses affecting him at all.

That is to say, even if Gawain had not adapted to the sudden increase in gravity on his body, the speed he burst out with under three times the force allowed him to immediately appear ten meters away.

But it is still within the blast radius of the Murasame.

Gawain, who was retreating rapidly, was caught up by the dark curse in the blink of an eye.

"I really didn't expect that you, Gao Wenqing, would retreat like this—!"

With a gentle smile, Leo seemed somewhat surprised by Gawain's retreat, but even so, Leo had no idea that Gawain would lose.

"It really was so close—!"

Gawain let out a long sigh as he watched the black curse spill from his armor onto the ground.

He could sense that if he came into contact with those pitch-black substances, even with his B-level magic resistance, he probably wouldn't survive for long.
