Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

Chapter 640 The Territory Already Shattered

Shirou Emiya didn't know why he felt a slight dislike for Cú Chulainn, but it wasn't the same kind of disgust he felt for Kirei Kotomine; it was more like a slight dislike, as if they didn't get along.

Actually, he wasn't quite sure if this was a feeling of dislike. He had only met Cú Chulainn twice, so why had that blue-clad man left such a deep impression on him?

He didn't know, but Shirou Emiya did say that Cú Chulainn's Noble Phantasm was really useful.

Not only does it have the effect of killing with one blow, but the consumption of magic power to release the Noble Phantasm is also very low. Now it is basically the same as Murasame. When facing a fierce battle, Shirou Emiya will quickly project it and release it whenever he finds an opportunity.

The only drawback right now is that, as a gun, its projection speed is far slower than that of swords.

The reason he was able to project the gun so quickly was because he was currently in the midst of Unlimited Blade Works.

Shirou Emiya can directly take this spear from his already shattered Unlimited Blade Works and use it.

However, due to the shattering of Unlimited Blade Works, Shirou Emiya can no longer use the Noble Phantasms from Unlimited Blade Works as extensively as before while chanting.

"Boom--!"

With a deafening roar that echoed throughout the space, the crimson spear collided heavily with the holy sword in Gawain's hand, transforming into a sonic wave that rippled outwards like a shockwave.

However, at this very moment...

"choke--!"

The lightning-fast crimson spear light seemed to suddenly twist and change direction, aiming straight for Gawain's heart.

Defensive spells instantly lit up on Gawain's body, blocking the crimson spear from piercing through.

Then, as if a mirror had shattered, the defensive spell was destroyed in less than a few seconds.

However, the few seconds that the defensive spell bought Gawain were enough for him to dodge to the side.

The spear's edge grazed Gawain's cheek at that very moment.

A surge of luck gave Gawain the opportunity to dodge, while Leo's defensive spell bought him several seconds to evade the attack that would have struck his heart.

However, Shirou Emiya seemed to have anticipated that Gawain possessed the ability to withstand the spear that pierced through the Death Thorn.

This was something that Rin Tohsaka had already told Shirou Emiya.

This is not because she made Cú Chulainn unleash his Noble Phantasm on Gawain; it is merely a very simple deduction.

Moreover, unlike Shirou Emiya, Rin Tohsaka doesn't know how to look at the opponent's Servant's stats.

As a Master, you are able to see the stats of various Servants.

The more skilled a magician is, the more they can see.

Of course, since Leo is also an extremely outstanding being, Rin Tohsaka cannot see much of Gawain's stats.

However, it is certain that piercing the Death Thorn Spear will not be so easy to defeat Gawain, who is the Knight of the Sun.

"Forge your bones to the core, burn your soul to the core—!"

"Fight to the death in dire straits, never to yield!"

At the very moment Gawain defended against the spear that pierced through the Death Thorn, Shirou Emiya began chanting at top speed.

The surrounding scenery seemed to have been invaded, and began to change drastically.

Countless cracks rose from the ground, making it appear as if it had been split into several pieces. Leo and Gawain could see golden patterns appearing in the air.

The ground shattered as a result, turning into several islands that floated in the air.

The whole world appeared desolate.

Countless cracks covered the entire space, as if the space would shatter with a single blow.

At this moment, the earth also continuously floated in the air.

Leo and Gawain looked down and could only see a dark and gloomy sky.

In this world, the concepts of heaven and earth have become confused.

Rather, it's because the actual ground has been shattered and is now suspended in the air.

The sky then transformed into the ground.

"A Reality Marble? Emiya-kun's abilities are truly unexpected—!"

Standing on a desolate island suspended in mid-air, riddled with dozens of sword arrows, Leo spoke slowly.

He could imagine what kind of scenery and glory this mental image barrier once had.

But at this moment, the ground that was originally covered with countless sword arrows split apart, turning into hundreds or even thousands of small pieces that floated and drifted in the air.

Even most of the ground suspended in the air was swallowed up by the cracks.

This land within the Realm Barrier has become extremely scarce, and Shirou Emiya is unable to launch an attack that resembles a downpour.

"Gao Wenqing, unleash your full power! This battle, from the very beginning, has required our all-out effort!"

Leo didn't stay in place to watch the fight between Shirou Emiya and Gawain. Instead, he took a step forward in this world where the concepts of heaven and earth were confused.

"Yes, I never imagined that someone could achieve such a level using only a human body!"

Even as an enemy, Gawain couldn't help but praise him, saying that from any perspective, Emiya Shirou was an exceptionally outstanding person.

"But it is with great regret that, for the sake of our Lord's wishes and the continuation of all mankind, we must ask you to leave here!"

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

"Excalibur Gallatin" (The Sword of Victory)

Almost without needing to be said, under Leo's incredibly abundant magical power, Gawain could unleash his Noble Phantasm for an extended period of time.

It could even be said that the Noble Phantasm can be maintained until the end of a battle.

A dazzling light emanated from Gawain's hand once more, the golden sword light instantly extending to the edge of the sky.

This time, however, Shirou Emiya may not be able to unleash the power of the eternally distant golden sword.

He was standing on another piece of land that floated in the wind, staring intently at Gao Wen.

Dark magic surged within Shirou Emiya.

He gripped a jet-black spear tightly in his hand.

Vlad III in this world is not like the Vlad III that Shirou Emiya knew, whose attack range was one kilometer in radius and whose number of stakes reached a maximum of 20,000.

The main reason is that this area is not Romanian territory.

If it were within Romanian territory, the Piercing Prince would experience the greatest degree of liberation.

The steel spear that Vlad III wielded would never have been thrust out from his body at the enemy.

Instead, like Vlad III of the Black faction, they can instantly unleash a terrifyingly powerful steel spear right under the enemy's feet.

However, if we're talking about territory...

In a sense, Unlimited Blade Works is Shirou Emiya's territory.

Not because of hatred

Not for pleasure

This is a necessary sacrifice.

[To instill terror in the enemy]

【Kazikli Bey】

A deadly threat erupted from beneath Gawain's feet in an instant.

Chapter 641 An Unwinnable Battle

A shattered sky.

The shattered earth.

A shattered space.

And then there are the broken ones.

Golden light pierced the sky. Amidst the tremors of space and the explosion of air, a merciless sword light rose from the heavens, carrying an avalanche-like momentum, as if it intended to cleave this space in two. It suddenly erupted.

"Clang, clang, clang, clang!"

The sound of metal clashing rang out continuously, and countless iron stakes suddenly rose from the ground, transforming into the sharpest spears.

At that very moment, the ground beneath Gawain's feet changed shape.

They showed no mercy, the terrifying iron stakes tearing through the air and piercing into every part of Gawain's body.

However, Gawain showed no sign of panic. He stomped his feet on the ground and swung his longsword, which gleamed with a terrifying light, at the ground beneath his feet, destroying everything in its path.

"Clang clang clang clang clang!!!!!"

That was the sound of the iron stake colliding with the armor worn by Gawain.

“Crack, click, click!!!!”

That was the sound of defensive spells and armor beginning to crumble.

If he had jumped a second later, the terrifying iron stake would have pierced straight through his body.

At the very moment Gao Wen leaped up, the golden beam of light destroyed the ground beneath his feet.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!!!"

Countless sword arrows burst forth with a piercing shriek, raining down on Gawain like a curtain of rain.

At this moment, Gawain, who was jumping in the air, had no way to dodge.

However, this level of attack—

The seemingly endless sword light flashed by in an instant, but the burst of light did not affect Gawain's swinging speed.

All that could be seen was a flash of light, and all the flying sword arrows were completely swallowed up.

"There it is—!"
