Seeing that Shirou had taken control of some of the power of Unlimited Blade Works, and that even the thousands of swords on the Sword Hill were giving off a different light, Servant Emiya showed a complicated expression.
It was as if he had been expecting this scene to happen for a long time, but after it actually happened, his heart was also stirred up violently.
In the end, Servant Emiya took the initiative to speak: "It seems you still did it. It doesn't matter whether it's justice or injustice. Unlimited Blade Works values the choices in your heart. As long as your will is strong enough, and you believe that the path you are walking is correct, even if it's not justice in the strict sense, you can still get the approval of the Reality Marble."
"..."
Shirou didn't respond to Servant Emiya's words.
He was just quietly feeling the power gathering within him, and then slowly raised his right hand.
In the next moment, dozens of swords on the Sword Hill suddenly flew up, and with fierce movements, they swept towards Servant Emiya's direction.
"Bang!"
"Bang!" "Bang!"
Servant Emiya also controlled the power of Unlimited Blade Works, colliding dozens of swords with the weapons driven by Shirou.
Seeing this, Shirou's expression didn't change. He just breathed out and slowly said, "Thank you for letting me know what I should truly hold onto. Because of this, I will definitely defeat you completely, take control of this power, and complete my beliefs!"
"It seems you are very confident that you can beat me."
Servant Emiya smiled, "But in fact, even if you also have the ability to control Unlimited Blade Works, you are only on equal footing with me now. Why do you think you can definitely win?"
"Why can I win?"
Regarding Servant Emiya's words, Shirou seemed to be thinking about how to organize his words to say what he wanted to say next.
But in the end, he gave up using words to convey his thoughts, and instead directly picked up a sword from the ground and rushed towards Servant Emiya at an amazing speed.
Seeing Shirou's movements, Servant Emiya naturally wouldn't let the other party do as he pleased.
He suddenly raised his arms, and countless blades rained down like a storm, completely sealing off Shirou's position.
But Shirou didn't even think about dodging this amazing pressure, and continued to sprint at his original speed.
"Whoosh!"
The moment the rain of swords was about to reach Shirou, Shirou didn't even raise his head, and a large number of swords blocked all of Servant Emiya's sword rain at the same speed.
At the same time, Shirou seized the gap where the other party couldn't react, and directly unleashed his full speed. The King-level Sword God Style fully broke out, directly approaching Servant Emiya!
"!!!"
Faced with Shirou's unimaginable speed, Servant Emiya decisively used the swords in his hands to block.
But what he didn't expect was that Shirou's sword speed was faster than he had expected, causing Servant Emiya to be unable to block at all, and the swords in his hands were directly knocked away!
Shirou decisively used this opportunity to approach Servant Emiya, and decisively stabbed out with the sword in his hand, wanting to defeat Servant Emiya completely!
But Servant Emiya, as someone with Mind's Eye, made a move that ordinary people couldn't imagine, even in such a desperate situation.
He used the two swords that had just been knocked away, and projected another pair of swords out of thin air, and attracted the two pairs of different weapons to each other.
In a nearly desperate state, Servant Emiya used a technique similar to Crane Wing Three Formations, and in turn used the situation to push Shirou into a desperate situation.
Faced with this technique, Shirou was not afraid. He decisively gave up the Sword God Style's attack and instead released the Water God Style's parry.
Through the defensive advantages of the Water God Style, Shirou successfully blocked Servant Emiya's counterattack, and the two sides retreated again.
In the battle just now, Shirou had already proven his confidence in defeating Servant Emiya with practical actions.
Because although Shirou had just regained control of Unlimited Blade Works, Shirou had more experience and skills than Servant Emiya, and had learned and grown more in this world.
When Unlimited Blade Works, the biggest advantage, was leveled, Shirou's victory could almost be said to be without suspense.
However, Servant Emiya didn't seem to have any intention of admitting defeat.
He knew that he was at a disadvantage, but he still said confidently, "Okay, I admit that in terms of pure strength, I may no longer be your match, but it's not that simple for you to defeat me. If I get serious, it's easy to stall you for two or three days. But for you, do you really have that much time to waste fighting me? The civil war in the Asura Kingdom won't give you that much time to drag on, will it?"
"Saying such things won't shake me."
Shirou silently looked at Servant Emiya, "Unlike before, I already have the resolve and determination, so no matter what stands in my way, I will crush it! Even if it's you, I will defeat you as quickly as possible, and then save Ariel and the others!"
"Interesting, then let me see where your confidence comes from."
Although Servant Emiya was tough on the surface, his expression could be said to be extremely serious.
"Ah, let me show you."
Shirou said calmly, his expression not panicked at all because of the waste of time, "I will defeat you, and then save everyone. This is my justice!"
The moment the words fell, an unimaginable deathmatch completely erupted, like a whirlpool, completely swallowing the entire world.
At the edge of the sand dunes in the distance, Rudeus and Paul stared blankly at everything that was happening in front of them, unable to say any more words, only genuine shock remained.
Although Armored Dragon King was also feeling ups and downs, he seemed to have seen something that made him feel happy. He murmured, "Knowing that it is impossible, yet still doing it, I have seen countless times such beings in the war against Demon God Laplace hundreds of years ago. But even compared to the heroes of that era, Shirou is definitely not inferior, and is even above the countless heroes I have seen."
"Is it that exaggerated?"
Paul couldn't help but speak. Although he also knew how great Shirou was, he hadn't thought that Armored Dragon King could give such an exaggerated evaluation.
Armored Dragon King silently said, "My senior, Dragon God Urupen, once told me that there are two kinds of heroes in this world. One kind is purely good people. Based on their instincts for survival and helping others, they are constantly saving the people around them. This is the appearance of most heroes. The other kind is born heroes. They may usually look lazy and may even look like despicable people, but their bones are filled with blood that seeks correctness. Before the real crisis arrives, such people will not have anything special. It's like straw is just straw before it touches the flame. But once the real disaster arrives, they will quickly burn themselves and turn into flames, instantly producing a light that burns everything, as if they were born to fight that real disaster."
Armored Dragon King said in a deep voice, his eyes firmly locked on Shirou, "Such beings, some people call them heroes, some people call them brave people, and some people call them - those who create miracles! The more desperate the situation, the brighter the hero's radiance. The more pain they endure, the more worthy the legend is to be praised. In my opinion, Shirou is such a being who is more legendary than a legend and more heroic than a hero. He is destined to achieve things that ordinary people cannot achieve, and make unimaginable achievements."
"..."
Paul and Rudeus didn't know what to say to Armored Dragon King's praise.
The two just stared blankly at the battle between Shirou and Servant Emiya, as if they were watching a real legend writing poetry before their eyes!
...
Asura Kingdom, Royal Capital Ars.
Sauros's execution was quickly carried out under Darius's frantic operations, and almost in the blink of an eye, it was time to carry out the execution.
The execution site was set up on the royal capital's public execution platform, which was a huge palace located around the royal palace, with only one road in and out.
The purpose of this setting was to prevent assassins from coming to rescue people.
In order to ensure the safety of the execution, the kingdom's knighthood sealed off all the roads around the execution platform, only allowing nobles with a certain status to enter and watch the public execution.
Before the execution began, the most important thing was undoubtedly the arrival of the person being executed.
Sauros, the former head of the Boreas family, was escorted by the knights and came to the execution platform step by step.
After being imprisoned in a dark prison for several years, Sauros's appearance could be said to be very miserable. He looked completely without any energy, and even looked like a candle in the wind. His old appearance looked like he could die at any time.
However, Sauros didn't feel unacceptable about his state. He even came to the execution platform calmly, waiting for death to arrive.
When Sauros arrived at the execution platform, the surrounding high platforms were already full of people.
The first to bear the brunt was undoubtedly Minister Darius. He could be said to have single-handedly created all of this, but he didn't care about Sauros's appearance at all. Instead, he nervously looked around.
For Darius, Sauros's death was just bait. He just wanted to use Sauros to lure out Eris and Ghislaine, the two Sword Kings of the Boreas family.
As long as the two Sword Kings died, Ariel's faction would be completely hit hard, and would have no ability to resist him.
On the other hand, if Eris and Ghislaine didn't show up after Sauros's execution today, then he could be said to be at a considerable disadvantage.
It would be difficult for him to rely on positive operations to help First Prince Gravel defeat Ariel with his current situation.
So Darius was more concerned about whether the execution could attract the arrival of the two Sword Kings than he was about the execution itself.
First Prince Gravel, Notos's current family head Pilemon, and Boreas's current family head James were all silently gathered around Darius.
The few people were as eager as Darius, because they were now sitting on the same boat as Darius, sharing the same glory and suffering.
Relatively, an old woman not far from a few people sat in her seat with a calm expression, as if she was not shaken by everything around her.
The current Water God Reida Reia.
She was given the position of witness to the execution.
However, Reida Reia herself obviously had no intention of participating in political struggles. She didn't look at anyone present from beginning to end, as if these worldly power holders and nobles were nothing but dung in her eyes.
Next to Reida Reia, Water King Isolte was standing anxiously.
She had previously violated the Water God's teaching that Water God Style disciples should not interfere in politics, and went to rescue Doris Tina and Princess Ariel.
This made her very anxious. She had been in a panic the past few days, and didn't dare to face the Water God.
But the Water God didn't seem to care about her actions at all, and didn't evaluate her at all from beginning to end.
In addition to Darius's camp, Ariel's camp was undoubtedly all present.
Like Darius, Ariel was also extremely nervous about the execution.
It could be said that the result of this execution was very likely to directly determine the victory or defeat of this throne battle, and affect the survival of Ariel's faction.
For this, she silently looked in Sauros's direction.
Looking at the old man who was about to die, but still didn't waver at all, and had a will as firm as a rock, her heart gradually relaxed, and she silently made a decision in her heart that no matter what the final result of this execution, she would silently accept everything.
"Well, it's almost time, let's start the execution quickly."
Darius seemed to be a little anxious, and he impatiently let the First Prince Gravel make the announcement.
After announcing the execution, the executioner quickly took the stage.
He slowly came to Sauros's side, and expressionlessly tightened the long sword in his hand. He aimed at Sauros's neck and began to prepare for a beheading execution.
At this moment, everyone present couldn't help but clench their expressions.
Especially Darius, who looked around as if he was eagerly waiting for something to happen.
"Whoosh!"
The moment the executioner was about to carry out the execution, the ceiling of the hall was suddenly shattered by a force, and a red-haired girl fell from the sky, rushed in like a mad dog, and kicked the executioner away with one foot.
"You are... Eris?!"
Sauros looked at the tall woman in front of him in disbelief, and was completely unable to connect the other party with his past violent granddaughter.
Eris didn't hesitate, and said with a smile, "I'm here to save you, Grandpa!"
"..."
Before the touching reunion of grandpa and granddaughter could happen, Darius's mouth couldn't help but break into a smile on the stage. He decisively shouted, "Quick! Take this assassin down for me!"
