Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

At that moment, Gawain, who was flying through the air, locked onto Shirou Emiya's position, and the lightsaber in his hand, which extended for hundreds of meters, once again burst out with extremely hot light.

Aiming directly at Shirou Emiya's position, he slashed down without hesitation!

"I did not initiate everything—"

"It doesn't mean the end of everything—"

"Covering the Seven Rings of the Scorching Sky (Rho Aias)!!!!!!!!!"

As he finished speaking, Shirou Emiya extended his left hand, and a cherry blossom-shaped shield appeared in front of him.

"Boom--!"

A terrifying impact erupted instantly from directly in front of Shirou Emiya, as the golden greatsword in the sky slammed heavily into the cherry blossom-shaped shield.

Under normal circumstances, Shirou Emiya would never have been able to project this shield so quickly.

In Unlimited Blade Works, Shirou Emiya doesn't need to project items; he can directly use all weapons and armor without the projection step.

He can switch weapons in a very short time, and he can also draw this shield in an instant.

"Splat! Splat! Splat! Splat! Splat!"

In just a few seconds, the shield of Ajax, the hero used in the Trojan War, shattered into four layers of petals.

A terrifying pressure rose from the sky, causing Shirou Emiya, who was wearing the [Demon Possessed] outfit, to kneel down involuntarily.

He is still in a weakened state. The confrontation with Gawain that time was the limit of what he could do.

However, Shirou Emiya, who was kneeling down, raised his head and stared straight at the golden beam of light that filled the sky, his eyes showing no sign of backing down.

"Standing atop Sword Hill, bearing the aspirations of all things—"

"A lone swordsmith forges countless blades—"

The cracks in the world around us are becoming increasingly severe.

Barren land appeared one after another from the surrounding sky.

Everything around seemed so chaotic and disorderly.

"Splat! Splat!"

The two cherry blossom-like shields suddenly exploded.

Even without the enhancement of Command Seals, the Sword of Victory is still an A+ rank anti-army Noble Phantasm.

The projected Shield of Ajax was completely unable to withstand this powerful attack.

Gawain roared in mid-air as he plummeted toward Shirou Emiya.

The beam of light that was generated became increasingly scorching as the distance between Gawain and Emiya Shirou decreased.

Even the last petal couldn't hold on for much longer.

However, there has been enough time.

"Therefore, this body is destined for Unlimited Blade Works—!"

At this moment, the Reality Marble called [Unlimited Blade Works] truly appeared in this duel arena.

"Smack—!"

The golden beam of light tore through the last layer of cherry blossom shield's defense and struck straight at Shirou Emiya.

"Clang—! Clang—! Clang—! Clang—! Clang—!"

As if something had been shattered, countless distorted data appeared before the golden beam of light.

"Pfft——!"

"Well--!"

A slightly annoyed sound escaped from Shirou Emiya's mouth.

"Thud—! Thud—!"

A large amount of blood seeped out from his body, dripping down like spring water, gradually forming a small pool of blood.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the demon-possessed robe that Shirou Emiya was wearing had shattered.

A horrifying knife wound appeared across his chest, from which blood gushed out.

If it weren't for the Seven Rings of Blazing Sky and Demonic Possession protecting Shirou Emiya from a great deal of damage, such an attack would probably have been enough to tear him apart.

Of course, there's also the obstruction created by Shinji Matou using hacking techniques in the distant academy.

At this moment, Gawain landed steadily on the ground from the sky, and the holy sword in his hand once again emitted a light that was enough to incinerate everything.

Noble Phantasm Unleashed in Succession—

For Gawain, who had an abundance of magic, it was not a difficult task.

The situation is now completely clear.

Unlimited Blade Works cannot provide Shirou Emiya with the terrifying suppression he needs to overcome his enemies.

The golden sword, forever distant, could never be unleashed by Shirou Emiya again.

His severely damaged body makes it impossible for him to fight Gawain for an extended period of time.

From any perspective, Shirou Emiya has already lost.

"Looks like it's over—!"

Looking at Shirou Emiya, who was kneeling on the ground with his armor shattered and blood dripping from his mouth, Gawain slowly raised the holy sword that shimmered with golden light and spoke to him.

If he were to strike down now, the decisive battle would end immediately.

"Cough! Cough!"

Fresh blood spurted from Shirou Emiya's mouth.

He had lost count of how many times he had been in such a dangerous situation, but there was still a chance, wasn't there?

How can we defeat our formidable enemy without paying a price?

"The defensive spells on your body should have been destroyed by now!"

With a smile, Shirou Emiya raised his blood-stained face and looked in Gawain's direction.

Chapter 642 Detonating the World (Revised)

"?"

Upon hearing Shirou Emiya's words, Gawain's eyes showed confusion and a bad premonition.

Despite Gawain's best efforts to block the two Noble Phantasms, his defensive spells were still destroyed.

But at this point, Shirou Emiya had no power to resist.

At such close range, if Shirou Emiya makes any move, Gawain's sword will sever his head.

Moreover, Shirou Emiya no longer had the strength to stand up.

Although the battle had only lasted a short while, Shirou Emiya, who was already weak, had exhausted all his strength.

Perhaps they can still stand up again through their own willpower.

He might still be able to wield a sword, but he could no longer have such a fierce conflict with Gawain.

Emiya Shirou has reached his limit.

At least, Gawain saw no chance that Shirou Emiya could turn the tide.

"Fantasy Collapse is a skill that destroys a Noble Phantasm with immense magical power, turning the Noble Phantasm itself into a container for that immense magical power and detonating it like explosives to inflict severe damage on the opponent."

However, seemingly ignoring Gawain's doubts, or perhaps simply to buy time, Shirou Emiya watched the approaching figure and slowly spoke.

He explained to them the principle of fantasy collapse, which everyone present already knew.

"What exactly are you trying to say!?"

Gawain's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. Why, why hasn't Emiya Shirou given up yet?

He had fought to the very last moment, and it was clear that he had no other means to defeat himself.

A sense of unease immediately welled up in his heart. Gawain didn't hesitate any longer; he couldn't let Emiya Shirou delay any longer.

We must take care of Shirou Emiya as quickly as possible!

"Buzz!"

The space trembled as Gawain swung his sword.

The airflow retreats as if on a pilgrimage, before it even touches the other side.

The earth seemed to be emanating a sense of despair, as if it were experiencing fear.

Emiya Shirou knelt on the ground as if he had given up all resistance, and the golden light swept straight towards him.

The next second, or even less than a second.

This beam of light will easily engulf Shirou Emiya.

However, behind Shirou Emiya, there was a Greek shield that looked extremely simple and unadorned.

After Shirou Emiya was struck by the Revolving Victory Sword, he transferred the Greek shield from Unlimited Blade Works to his back.

Even if Gawain were to slash at Shirou Emiya the instant he landed, he would be able to immediately unleash the true name of that Noble Phantasm—

At this stage, it is also the only piece of armor that Emiya Shirou has that can withstand Gawain's Noble Phantasm.

[The small world surrounding the sky (Αχιλλευ? Κοσμο?)]

And, the only way he could think of to defeat Gawain.

Ignite the world —

This is why Shirou Emiya insisted on unleashing his Reality Marble.

It's not just because he doesn't need to project his Noble Phantasm within Unlimited Blade Works.

Of course, due to physical and spiritual limitations, Shirou Emiya's Unlimited Blade Works currently only covers a distance of a few hundred meters.
