He wasn't intimidated by Alice, but after creating some distance, he suddenly began to chant!

"Sword, light the lamp!"

After uttering an incantation, Ober's sword was surrounded by flames.

This is a basic ignition spell that can surround a sword with flames. Due to its low attack power, it is more like an acrobatic spell than an offensive spell.

However, after casting the spell, Aubel stepped to the side while quickly taking out a bottle of oil from his waist and swallowing it in one gulp.

"puff!"

Aubel spat out the oil from his mouth and ignited it through the flames on his sword, attacking Alice.

Unexpectedly, the opponent had so many despicable tricks. Alice was completely unable to defend herself and was hit by the flames that were spewed out, sending her flying.

When Alice reappeared, she was covered in burns and seriously injured.

"……hateful."

Although she knew from the beginning that she was no match for the Northern Emperor, such a humiliating defeat was still unacceptable to Alice from the bottom of her heart.

She gritted her teeth, got up from the ground, and maintained her fighting stance.

"Knowing you're no match for me, you still want to fight me?"

Looking at Alice, Aubert frowned slightly. "Is she just too naive, or is she plotting something else? She's really hard to figure out."

"Stop talking nonsense, I haven't lost yet!"

Without saying much, Alice directly swung her longsword.

Aubert hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn't care too much. He didn't believe his victory would be shaken and resumed the one-sided battle.

……

The Sandy Hills of Infinite Blade.

Countless shattered swords floated beneath the crimson sunset, and the numerous gears in the dark sky had unknowingly stopped turning.

The chaotic and shattering sounds of swords clashing had, at some point, completely ceased to be heard.

Only a blood-soaked, battle-wounded red-haired figure and a faded, almost disappearing white-haired figure remained, standing side by side.

"You're willing to risk your life to defeat me?"

Looking at Shirou, who was already burned to ashes and could even be said to be on the verge of death, the Heroic Spirit Emiya slowly spoke in a self-deprecating tone: "That's right, you've always been this kind of person. Emiya Shirou has always been this kind of existence. He never cares about himself. No matter how riddled with holes, broken and collapsed he is, he will do his best to save others."

"Yes, I will do it. I will save them, I will save everyone."

Shirou used the broken blade of his sword to prop himself up from the ground with difficulty.

Behind him, countless shattered swords seemed to symbolize how intense and brutal the battle had just taken place.

"Is that so? But how long can your will last?"

The Heroic Spirit Emiya spoke slowly in a questioning tone, "Do you really think you can save everything with your own hands?"

"I will do it at least until my life is over and my blood runs dry."

Shirou gritted his teeth and silently replied, "I will definitely do it!"

"Hehe, then let me see just how far you can go."

The figure of the Heroic Spirit Emiya finally could not hold on any longer. Although he appeared to be intact, he had long since been completely unable to support himself, and his body dissipated completely with the yellow sand.

At the same time, the numerous gears in the sky of Unlimited Blade Works vanished completely with the disappearance of the Heroic Spirit Emiya, as if they had never existed.

Only Unlimited Blade Works itself has been completely transformed into Shirou's power, existing here together with Shirou!

Chapter 353 Shirou: Don't be afraid, Alice, because I'm here!

The execution ground of the Kingdom of Asura.

The fierce battle between Alice and Aubert is in full swing.

Because the Sword King and the Northern Emperor's combat skills were so high that ordinary people couldn't participate in a battle of this level, and Darius was still on guard against Kyrie Illya, who hadn't appeared yet, the only sounds on the scene were the continuous sounds of the two fighting, and everyone around was watching the battle closely.

"Boom!"

Faced with the various insidious methods used by the Northern Emperor Obel, Alice gradually began to adapt, instead of being completely unable to resist at first.

Regardless of what methods the opponent used, she disregarded everything, unleashing a powerful slash at Aubel with a stance that seemed capable of tearing space apart.

"Haaah!"

Seeing Alice's actions, Aubert remained calm and composed, trying to weaken her while secretly using various hidden weapons.

However, because Alice chose to disregard everything and was willing to risk injury to hit Aubert, she forced her way to Aubert's side. Despite being stabbed by a hidden weapon, she still desperately looked at Aubert's body.

"Snapped!"

To everyone's horror, the Northern Emperor Ober was cleaved in two by Alice's sword.

Just as everyone was stunned and never expected this outcome, they discovered that Alice herself, who had swung the sword, showed a look of disgust and clicked her tongue in disappointment.

The group quickly realized that what had been cut in two was not Aubert's body, but a strangely shaped log wearing a cloak.

Ober used this Stand to dodge Alice's attack and then used an unprecedented move, throwing out a grappling hook and grabbing the eaves of a nearby building.

Using this special 3D maneuvering device, Aubel, like a forest ape, performed incredible maneuvers in mid-air and instantly appeared behind Alice.

"it's over!"

Facing Alice, who had no time to defend herself, Aubert revealed a cold smile, then pierced Alice's shoulder with his sword and kicked the red-haired girl off the stage.

"Ahem..."

Alice rolled on the ground several times, her blood staining the earth red.

A bitter expression appeared on her face, as if she hadn't expected to lose so inexplicably. Even though her opponent was the Northern Emperor, she was unwilling to accept such a defeat.

"You are already very strong, Mad Sword King."

Seeing Alice's appearance, Aubert smiled and said, "To have become a Sword King at such a young age, such talent means you are destined to go far... If you can survive, you will surely have a place among the Emperors of the Sword Sanctuary."

Alice completely ignored Aubert's words of comfort.

Even though she was seriously injured, she still struggled to get up from the ground, showing an attitude of never admitting defeat even if it meant risking her life.

"Alice, that's enough."

As all this was happening, Ariel's voice rang out from not far away.

After witnessing the entire battle and seeing this outcome, the princess could no longer remain silent and stopped Alice from continuing her desperate fight.

Upon seeing this, Darius couldn't help but speak sarcastically: "Oh dear, Princess Ariel, what do you mean by this? What connection do you have with the prisoners who attacked the execution ground? Could it be that you organized this attack?"

"..."

Ariel was unaffected by Darius's obvious question.

At least on the surface, she seemed unaffected, calmly responding, "I wonder what Minister Darius is talking about. But that Northern Emperor on the platform, doesn't he seem somewhat similar to the assassin who attacked me at the last banquet?"

"you……"

Darius showed a look of disgust at Ariel's shift from defense to offense.

He ignored Ariel's appearance and focused all his attention on Alice, waiting for the Sword King of Ariel's faction to be killed, which would greatly weaken the power of Ariel's faction.

Because he was too focused on Alice's life or death, Darius did not notice that the positions of the guards around him had changed slightly.

A figure gradually emerged from the shadows and arrived beside Darius without him noticing.

"Quickly, Aubert, kill this assassin!"

Darius shouted excitedly, hoping that Aubert would kill Alice quickly.

Although Aubert was somewhat reluctant, he would not refuse the other party's request. He silently drew the sword from his waist, ready to take Alice's life.

In that instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Aubert and Alice.

Therefore, no one noticed that a murderous intent was sweeping out from Darius like a tidal wave!

"Crash!!!"

The fierce swordplay suddenly swept in like a storm.

Darius's guards suddenly collapsed, their lives ending in an instant before they could even react.

Darius himself was completely unaware of what was happening. In the instant he came to his senses, he only saw a streak of dark sword light rushing towards his face!

"Do not!!!"

Darius let out a distorted wail; he could almost clearly feel death approaching and coming!

Kyrie Irwin, who had emerged from the shadows, had completely lost control of her killing intent. She focused all her energy into this one sword strike, attempting to kill Darius completely!

Yes, at the very beginning of this execution, Ariel's faction discussed the matter and ultimately concluded that rescuing Sauros was impossible.

Given the overwhelming power of Darius and the First Prince's faction, they have no chance of forcibly rescuing anyone from the execution ground under the current circumstances; they would only end up losing their lives in vain.

To solve this problem, Ariel finally came up with a solution.

Since rescuing Sauros is impossible, let's simply change our approach and shift the focus from rescuing him to killing him!

Once Darius, the culprit behind all this, is killed, the strength of the First Prince's faction will naturally be greatly weakened.

Those Northern Emperors and Northern Kings were originally private soldiers hired by Darius himself. Once Darius, their employer, died, they would probably not do anything more and would disperse on their own.

Based on this idea, Ariel's side devised a plan.

He had Alice attack the execution ground first, ostensibly to rescue Sholos, but in reality it was just a feint.

By diverting Darius's attention, they laid the groundwork and made preparations for the real assassination plan.

When Darius and everyone else present were focused on Alice and completely oblivious to their surroundings, Kyrie Irvine emerged from the shadows and assassinated Darius at the crucial moment!

The entire plan was perfect; it was the only solution Ariel had painstakingly devised to save herself and everyone else.

Alice and Kyrie Irvine's execution was flawless.

Alice delayed the North Emperor Ober long enough for Darius to lose patience, while Gilead infiltrated Darius's camp beforehand and hid beside him.

Both sword kings have done their best; there could be no better action.

However, the problem still occurred.

The problem wasn't with Alice and Gilead's actions, nor with Ariel's plans.

Everything is perfect.

The only thing they overlooked was the existence beside Darius—the current water goddess, Lydia!

"Boom!"

The instant that Gilead's sword pierced Darius at incredible speed, an invisible storm suddenly swept across the entire scene.

The fierce winds made it difficult for many nobles to even stand, their steps so unsteady that they seemed as if they might float away at any moment.

The gale also affected Kyrie's movements, and her originally accurate thrust of the sword deviated beyond her control.

However, Kyrie Il had anticipated that her actions might be stopped, so she staked everything on this one sword strike, concentrating all her magic and fighting spirit beforehand, to the point that she might faint instantly after striking.

So she forcibly ignored the wind pressure coming at her, concentrating all her strength and weight on one point, trying to pierce Darius's body with the sword in her hand.

"Kacha!"

However, Gilead's movements were ultimately thwarted.

The short, wrinkled old woman, with her skin covered in deep wrinkles, appeared between Gilead and Darius. She planted her beautiful golden sword on the ground like a cane, and with just this one movement, Gilead's powerful swing fell to the ground.

“Gal’s disciple, you have done very well, but unfortunately, this man is not yet ready to die.”

Lyda, the water goddess, gazed calmly at Girenus and, without shifting her body, kicked Girenus's sword away, sending it flying straight into a roof beam not far away.

Although Gilead lost his sword, he did not give up and tried his best to strangle and bite Darius to death with his claws.

But the water god's single movement sent her flying, completely symbolizing the failure of the assassination attempt.

"Thank you...thank you."

Darius watched as the assassin was kicked away and he himself survived, and couldn't help but look at the water god with gratitude.

But Leda didn't even glance at him, as if he had never existed. She turned away indifferently and silently returned to her seat.

Thus, Ariel's faction's last stand came to a complete end.

The scales of fate began to tip completely toward the side diametrically opposed to their victory.
