Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

He could only be thankful that he had A-level luck; all the flying curses landed on his armor and did not come into contact with his body.

As Gao Wen retreated this time, a number appeared before everyone present.

【1】

"Damn it, Shinji Matou, don't you guys mess this up at this crucial moment!!!!"

Rin Tohsaka stomped her feet angrily as she watched Gawain retreat.

At the moment when Shirou Emiya was entangled with Gawain, Rin Tohsaka did not hesitate to send a message to Shinji Matou, instructing him to immediately turn off the lighting system.

After all, he was able to fight him head-on, but if he were suddenly plunged into a dark environment, there was a high probability that he would be seriously injured by Emiya Shirou.

However, what we received was information from Shinji Matou that they hadn't figured it out yet.

It's said that for some reason, a new security system was suddenly added to the lighting system, and he is currently working as fast as possible to break through that defense system.

However, before Rin Tohsaka could convey the message of retreat to Shirou Emiya, Leo spoke to Rin from behind.

"Ms. Tohsaka, you're trying to deal with Gawain by turning off the lighting system, aren't you?!"

"!!!"

Upon hearing Leo's words, Rin Tohsaka's expression suddenly froze, and her steps toward Shirou Emiya abruptly halted.

"You, you, how did you know?!"

Looking at Leo with a gentle smile, Rin Tohsaka's face was full of disbelief, but she understood in an instant.

As an ideal king and the next leader of Harvey, Leo's analytical abilities are not weak.

"Isn't this the easiest solution you can come up with right now, given that you have the ability to work together as a group?"

Rin Tohsaka, who was looking at Leo, couldn't help but take a step back.

"Did you set up that security program?"

"Of course, Ms. Tohsaka wouldn't think I didn't make any preparations, would she? Blind confidence is not my style—"

Leo simply believed he would definitely be the winner, unlike Shinji Matou who had blind self-confidence.

Leo would naturally not hesitate to use any method that could effectively defeat his opponent.

If it weren't for Julius's existence, Leo wouldn't recommend using underhanded methods to gain dominance.

He is the king, and he should bear everything, whether good or bad. It's just that someone else has taken on all the darkness for him.

"In that case, Miss Tohsaka, you should understand that I will not let Emiya-kun leave, nor will I give you another chance to attack."

"Although the security program can be cracked in no time by a hacking genius like Shinji Matou, it won't take that long to deal with you. It's a pity that Emiya-kun has to leave here."

Now that Leo understands Rin Tohsaka's plan, he naturally cannot let them actually implement it. Even if they defeat Shirou Emiya later, Gawain's strength will be greatly reduced without the Saint's power.

This is something Leo doesn't want to see, so as he said, although he really wants to have a showdown with Emiya Shirou on the battlefield, to prevent any unforeseen complications, let's end the battle here.

"Gawain, unleash your Noble Phantasm."

"Yes, Master!"

As Leo's calm words fell, immense magical power instantly coalesced in Gawain's hand onto the longsword that shone with the light of the sun.

"Emiya!!!! Run!!!!!"

At this moment, Rin Tohsaka couldn't care less about anything else, even though she knew that at this distance, she was also covered in it.

Even though she knew that the distance between her and Shirou Emiya was no longer enough for him to rescue her.

Without the slightest hesitation, she shouted towards Shirou Emiya.

For some reason, Rin Tohsaka, a magician, at this moment, just like Shirou Emiya, put her own life at risk and chose to save Shirou Emiya, whom she had only known for a month.

Gawain's eyes were cold as he gripped his longsword and spoke slowly.

"As you wish. My holy sword is the embodiment of the sun. By the king's command, burn everything on earth—"

"This sword is the embodiment of the sun. It is the Yang Flame that burns away all impurities."

"Excalibur Gallatin, the Sword of Victory!!!!!"

The sword light, as bright as the sun, shot straight into the sky in that instant.

The terrifying aura filled the entire city wall in an instant.

Rin Tohsaka saw the sun-like sword light shooting straight into the sky once again, but she didn't move an inch.

Suddenly, a strong feeling of weakness made her legs go weak, and she half-squatted down.

Suddenly, another powerful magical force erupted behind her.

"liberation--!"

In that instant, the golden knight's sword in Shirou Emiya's hand erupted with an incredibly surging aura.

Golden light enveloped the entire sword in an instant.

[Acknowledge – You must fight against those stronger than yourself]

[Acknowledgement - One must not be an enemy of the elves.]

[Acknowledge – We must fight for survival]

[Acknowledgment—must not contradict humanity]

Several extremely solemn voices emanated from the void.

Unlike the extension of the Sun Sword in Gawain's hand, a blinding golden light erupted from the sharp blade in Shirou Emiya's hand like a fountain.

It radiated a breathtaking light, standing in stark contrast to Gawain at this moment.

However, while everyone else was watching Shirou Emiya unleash his equally powerful abilities...

Rin Tohsaka saw it; she saw the golden cracks spreading from Shirou Emiya's neck toward his face at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Shirou Emiya was completely unable to withstand the true name release of this weapon; even simple use would cause his body to break down.

Not to mention trying his best to unleash it, which is why Shirou Emiya rarely uses this Noble Phantasm in battle.

Chapter 631 Leo's Unfathomable Power

The Spinning Sword of Victory (Excalibur Galatine)

Grade: A+

Type: Anti-army Noble Phantasm

Distance: 20~40

Maximum catch: 300 people

The radiant sword held by Gao Wenqing. A sacred sword, resembling the sun, is sealed within the hilt.

According to legend, this holy sword possesses the same power as the king's holy sword.

That being said, the two weapons actually have different focuses. "Excalibur" is a point-concentration type, while "Rotating Victory" is a horizontally radiating type designed to cut down swarms of enemy soldiers.

The difference is quite obvious when comparing the beams of light shooting into the sky from Shirou Emiya's hand and Gawain's hand.

The beam of light that Gawain gripped tightly in his hand became even more stable, like a lightsaber that stretched for hundreds of meters.

The beam of light in Shirou Emiya's hand gushed upwards like a spring, and one could clearly see and feel the magical power surging like an ocean within it.

Looking at Shirou Emiya standing under that light, Gawain's eyes became extremely serious, and all the magic power in his body was poured into the longsword in his hand at this moment.

Although legend has it that his sword possesses the same power as King Arthur's Sword of Victory, Gawain, as one of the Knights of the Round Table, is fully aware that his sword is not comparable to it.

That was the pinnacle of the holy sword category, and even the sun sword in my hand was below it.

"Then let's end it all here—!"

"Buzz!!!!"

The beam of light shot straight into the sky, tearing through the atmosphere and creating turbulent currents like a violent storm, as if trying to sever the world in two, before slashing down fiercely at Shirou Emiya in front of him.

"The eternally distant golden sword (Excalibur Image)!!!!!!!!!"

In contrast, Shirou Emiya, with equally resolute words, disregarded the golden markings creeping across his face, raised his golden greatsword, and swung it forward as well.

Two golden beams of light vibrated the space, instantly filling the already bright space with golden light, and stirring up an indescribable storm in the space between the two of them.

Rin Tohsaka stared at the two beams of light shooting into the sky, ignoring her shock and enduring the pressure from the space, as she continued to walk toward Shirou Emiya's back, while constantly sending messages to Shinji Matou and Gina.

Leo, standing behind Gawain, was somewhat shocked, but still smiled as he watched Shirou Emiya's body crumble.

He could sense the extent of the pain that Shirou Emiya was enduring.

That's a pain that would cause an ordinary person to faint the moment they come into contact with it.

"boom----!"

Two terrifying golden beams of light suddenly met in mid-air.

In that instant, the entire sky fell silent.

"Boom!"

The earth-shattering roar resounded through the sky, transforming into sound waves that vibrated outward like a shock wave.

Two golden beams of light collided between Shirou Emiya and Gawain, unleashing a terrifying shockwave and intense light that enveloped the entire city wall in golden light.

The violent impact it triggered even caused the surrounding city walls to begin to collapse.

However, this scene did not last long.

In just a few breaths, between the golden beams of light clashing between Shirou Emiya and Gawain, the golden beam of light gushing from Gawain's hand suddenly trembled, and his entire body erupted with extremely terrifying magical power, expanding several times over.

The previously evenly matched situation was instantly suppressed by Gawain, and terrifying pressure continued to advance towards Emiya Shirou.

The [Golden Sword of Eternity] projected in Shirou Emiya's hand is still at the EX level.

It wasn't because Shirou Emiya was able to project its quality perfectly without any loss, but because this weapon could still exert its most powerful force under certain special circumstances.

If we exclude that special case, the power of the Noble Phantasm unleashed by Shirou Emiya is on the same level as Gawain's Sword of Victory—A+.

Moreover, Gawain's Noble Phantasm at this moment is more than A+.
