Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

"To truly understand is to devour everything!"

"I will dissolve you, blend you into me, and offer you everything I have—"

"This is the most perfect world, this is the supreme cradle I created for you!"

"Another obsessive love—"

Jeanne, who was also falling downwards next to Shirou Emiya, couldn't help but complain.

BB's love in these different ways is so distorted, so if that's the case, is BB's own love also distorted in the same way?

Joan of Arc began to think in this way.

Anyone with eyes can see that BB, just like her profile, is in love with Emiya Shirou.

Even Shirou Emiya himself has realized this.

He didn't understand why he was attracting their attention, but he could only refuse them firmly and righteously.

What's more, their love is so twisted.

"I will not accept this love—"

Without any hesitation, Shirou Emiya knew that Lilith's actions had crossed his line. Even if he now understood what had caused Lilith to become like this, he would not forgive her.

To be precise, Shirou Emiya has no right to forgive her. The only ones who can forgive her are the NPCs she has devoured and killed, as well as Kiara Sesshouin.

He cannot do anything for anyone.

Slowly, Shirou Emiya and Jeanne d'Arc descended into this mental space.

This is a world where opposing elements coexist.

It was both cold and warm.

Apart from Lilith's faint breathing and whispers, there was no other noise.

This is a completely different inner world from Lip's.

At the center of this tranquil world stood a girl bathed in water that could dissolve everything.

"Welcome, to my body."

Even though she was pierced through the chest by Shirou Emiya in the outside world, in her inner world, Lilith still stood there with an extremely elegant ballet posture and a faint smile.

She was like a queen, her eyes filled with absolute confidence in victory and an aura of dominance that looked down on everything.

"I never expected that your strength would grow to such a level in just two days."

Lilith stared intently at Shirou Emiya with an admiring tone.

"But that's still not enough. Outside, I can't use my Noble Phantasm, but it's different here. I will make you mine, Shirou!"

"This is my love, this is my infatuation, this is the true heart that was born from within me!"

"I will not let anyone deny me, and I certainly won't let you deny me!"

"If you insist on denying it, then the only option left is to kill me!"

Lilith's tone grew increasingly agitated, her sharp feet making a crisp sound on the ground. Shirou Emiya could see the love in her eyes, a love that seemed to want to devour him.

That kind of love doesn't communicate with others at all; it's like Lip, who imposes his feelings on others.

The difference is that Lip's love is self-imposed, while Lilith's love is imposed on the other person.

She disregards the other person's feelings, and even if they refuse, it won't change her mind. She will use the most forceful means to achieve what she wants.

Shirou Emiya knew that he simply couldn't persuade someone like that with words.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Shirou Emiya never intended to have much interaction with such a self-centered individual from the very beginning.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have started fighting as soon as they met, nor would they have treated Lilith the way they would treat Lip.

Two pistols, one black and one white, each with a double blade, appeared in Shirou Emiya's hands, his eyes filled with utter indifference.

"Then I'll step over your dead body!"

Chapter 763 Benzaiten's Five-Stringed Biwa

This was clearly just an inner space, yet one could feel a fierce wind, seemingly from nowhere, sweeping across everyone present.

The surrounding space was completely filled with liquid; this was Lilith's ocean-like inner world.

Emiya Shirou, Jeanne d'Arc, and Lilith stared at each other from a distance.

Lilith's lips curled up slightly as the surrounding space continued to close in on Shirou Emiya and Jeanne d'Arc.

Before long, they will be completely swallowed up by the ever-pressing liquid.

"Bam—!"

A whirlwind suddenly rose from the ground.

Joan of Arc and Lilith stomped their feet hard on the ground, and with the powerful thrust, they transformed into two cannonballs and shot out like lightning.

"laugh--!"

The two figures, accompanied by a strong gust of wind, suddenly met in the blink of an eye.

"Qiang——!"

With a crisp clash, the sharp blade on Lilith's foot sliced ​​through the air like a flash of light, colliding heavily with the banner.

Accompanying it were sparks that exploded suddenly, like fireworks.

An overwhelming force, one that Lilith could not withstand head-on, exploded from beneath her feet, sending her flying the instant the two clashed.

The feet, transformed into sharp blades, scraped against the ground with an extremely piercing sound, tearing two cracks before slowly coming to a stop.

"Bang bang bang bang bang--!"

The continuous gunfire came from behind Jeanne d'Arc. Shirou Emiya raised his two guns, one black and one white, aimed at Lilith, and kept pulling the triggers, causing the muzzle to spew out thick muzzle flares.

Some bullets pierced directly into Lilith's position, while others struck the ground.

With a series of crashes, the bullets that were fired at the ground ricocheted forward.

Something utterly unbelievable happened.

The bullets that bounced off the ground collided with the bullets that were fired straight out, and with repeated collisions in a short period of time, they formed an almost unpredictable barrage of fire that completely surrounded Lilith.

"Pfft—! Pfft—!"

The bullet pierced through Lilith's body without any resistance, and blood splattered in the air.

The attack was too fast; she didn't have time to fluidize it.

Joan of Arc, seemingly unconcerned about being hit by bullets, transformed into a whirlwind, waving her flag as she charged toward Lilith.

She was already wearing the [Death-Destroying Beast] armor, so she could completely ignore the spiderweb-like barrage of bullets.

"hateful--!"

Lilith cursed under her breath, her speed suddenly increasing, transforming into a phantom as she charged towards Joan of Arc once more, launching an attack that resembled a dance.

At the same time, a large amount of blue liquid erupted around her and devoured Jeanne d'Arc.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle—!"

With a tearing sound, Lilith's legs transformed into a ferocious slash, striking out like lightning, overwhelming everything in their path.

"Swish, swish, swish -!"

Amidst the howling wind, the flag became a blur, and under the crimson light, it swept forward like a storm.

“Bang bang bang bang bang—!”

Amidst the roar of gunfire, countless bullets pierced the air, flashing like streaks of light, enveloping Joan of Arc and Lilith like a spiderweb.

“Clang, clang, clang, clang—!”

"Clang, clang, clang, clang--!"

"Puff puff puff puff puff—!"

In the next instant, countless collisions occurred between the flag and the blade, the bullet and the armor, and the bullet and flesh, producing crisp sounds of impact and surging shockwaves.

Blood continued to splatter from the battle ahead.

The sound of corrosion continued to echo from ahead.

"clang!"

With another fierce collision, Lilith was once again thrown back by a shockwave, her body sliding backward.

At that very moment, Lilith burst into wild laughter, and countless drops of water erupted from her body, cascading forward.

"Bam—!"

Suddenly, a jet-black substance surged out from Shirou Emiya's body.

It collided head-on with the engulfing water.

The liquid, powerful enough to dissolve everything, was swallowed up after only a brief moment of resistance.

Immediately, Shirou Emiya, gripping his twin pistols, emerged from the dark mud.

His expression remained calm.

Beside Shirou Emiya, Jeanne removed the armor she was wearing, which had been almost completely dissolved by the water, and picked up a short sword with chains pierced by a crimson spear tip.

Lilith's defenses, which she had painstakingly broken through with considerable effort, were restored.

"They're really tough to deal with!"

Lilith clicked her tongue; the current disadvantage wasn't too surprising to her.

If I had to say something, it would be that Lilith hasn't devoured too many NPCs yet, her own stats aren't that huge, and her power hasn't reached the top level.

She didn't even grasp much of the techniques for fighting using ballet postures.

Basically, when fighting top-tier Servants head-on, Lilith can only rely on the virus that can dissolve everything, rather than winning through her own strength.

However, if I had to say, dissolving everything and encompassing everything is what Lilith excels at most.
