Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

He almost felt his consciousness was about to vanish into nothingness.

"That's because your physical condition isn't good, Master. Someone like that Master of Arthur from another world definitely doesn't have a body as bad as yours!"

Mordred patted Lion's Shoulder hard, almost making him release the pent-up anger that had been rising in his abdomen.

This feeling, like riding a roller coaster, is not pleasant at all.

"Yes, Master, I want to leave them a gift before I leave!"

Mordred raised his longsword, pointing it at Arthur and Rider, and expressed his thoughts to Shiki-kai.

"Does my opinion matter? Whether I agree or not, you'll still make the next decision, won't you?"

Once he recovered, Shi Zijie skillfully pulled out a cigarette from his wallet and lit it.

"However, you still have enough magic power left to unleash one Noble Phantasm."

"Humph!"

Mordred grinned, and the crimson lightning around his body began to surge wildly towards the longsword in his hand.

An extremely terrifying magical power erupted from the longsword in her hand, bursting forth with a silvery light, but it immediately seemed to be tainted by something.

Its shape twisted grotesquely, and a surge of hatred coiled around the sword and shot out from it.

A crimson beam shot straight into the sky, with straight red lightning swirling above it.

"Rebellion against my magnificent father (Clarent Blood Arthur)!!!!

Mordred shouted, unleashing a torrent of sword energy that pressed down on Arthur and Achilles.

The picture rotates.

"Your Master should have already died from your eldest sister's Noble Phantasm."

Achilles smiled confidently at Arthur, but his tone carried a hint of regret.

Achilles, who loves battle, was naturally disappointed at losing the chance to fight the legendary King of Knights.

But this is the Holy Grail War, and Achilles will not interfere with the choices made by his own side just because he wants to determine the winner.

War is not something that can be decided based on personal preference. Although his active period was short, he did participate in wars, and every move he made was crucial.

At this moment, the dust around Arthur and Achilles slowly dissipated, and the spot where Shirou Emiya had stood was now empty, leaving only devastation and countless lightsabers constructed from magic.

Unfortunately, Emiya was unable to analyze the structure of the shield in Achilles' hand, let alone use a weapon with the same power as Achilles through projection.

Although the [Sevenfold Ring of Blazing Heaven] and the [Small World Surrounding the Sky] are Noble Phantasms of the same level, the former is a "conceptual weapon" while the latter is a divinely created weapon.

Although, judging from the performance, the small world surrounding the sky was completely shattered after it withstood Karna's God-Slaying Spear without releasing his true name.

The [Sevenfold Rings of Blazing Heaven] is a Noble Phantasm of the same level as the [Small World Surrounding the Azure Sky], and it has been further enhanced to a certain extent because of its absolute defensive power against projectile weapons.

However, it only withstood Cú Chulainn's B+ rank projectile-type Noble Phantasm.

From these two points of view, the difference between [Seven Rings of Blazing Heaven] and [Small World Surrounding the Sky] is far too great.

However, the [Sevenfold Ring of Blazing Heaven] is a projected piece of armor, so its level is reduced by one level, and its performance is naturally far inferior to the [Small World Surrounding the Sky].

Neither in the past nor in the future could Shirou Emiya analyze the divine weapon, nor could he possibly analyze such an unparalleled shield with just a glance.

Even if it is projected, it is just an outer shell and will not have any special power.

but--

Achilles sensed that something was wrong.

First, Arthur did not become unable to sustain himself due to his Master's death. Second, Shirou Emiya is not a Heroic Spirit like Astolfo. Achilles could understand Astolfo's disappearance, but Shirou Emiya should have left a corpse on the ground.

However, there wasn't enough time for Achilles and Arthur to think about it all.

In the midst of war, there isn't much time to figure things out.

Aside from Shirou Emiya and Astolfo, who have already disappeared, there is another Heroic Spirit present who has taken two Noble Phantasms in succession.

"The time has come. My strike will shatter all oppression and crush all power. This is Spartacus!"

A gray creature, almost indistinguishable in shape and resembling a fleshy ball, roared, its entire body flashing with extremely intense light.

Both Arthur and Achilles sensed that if the powerful magic contained within were unleashed all at once, it could easily raze the entire town to the ground.

However, their performances were completely different.

Achilles, with an indifferent expression, held a shield in one hand and a cross spear in the other, aiming it at Arthur.

Arthur, however, looked around with extreme seriousness. He could still sense the existence of the contract, which meant that his Master had not lost his life under the Noble Phantasm of the Red Archer.

But it certainly won't be much easier, otherwise Arthur wouldn't be unable to find his Master here.

Just then, a crimson light shone from the distant sky, and an extremely strong sense of oppression emanated from that crimson light and was transmitted to Arthur.

He felt it, felt the hatred for Arthur contained in that light, and felt the special effect that light had on him.

Chapter 150 To save the man who was willing to give everything

So, where is Emiya Shirou now that he has disappeared?

"why?"

Astolfo looked at Shirou Emiya, who lay unconscious and bleeding profusely in front of him, and asked him a question.

At this moment, Shirou Emiya was covered in numerous light arrows, and Astolfo looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"I am the hero, I am just a servant."

Astolfo lifted Shirou Emiya up and struggled to his feet from the ruins.

The moment Achilles appeared before Arthur, he knew in his heart that he might not be able to survive such a powerful artifact.

He felt a little sad that he had to leave the Holy Grail War so hastily after only two days.

Shirou Emiya, standing beside him, also seemed unable to withstand the power of such a Noble Phantasm.

"He's just a Master."

Astolfo felt he had overestimated Shirou Emiya.

Even if one possesses the ability to defeat the Red Archer, it doesn't necessarily mean one has the ability to withstand her Noble Phantasm.

No one should underestimate the Noble Phantasm of any Heroic Spirit; even the weakest Assassin has the ability to turn the tables on Saber.

"Then let me have a moment of glory at the last minute!"

Astolfo thought to himself, watching the approaching arrow of light, he straightened his back, wanting to end his Servant career in the most glorious manner.

Both Emiya and Astolfo were dismounted. Given the speed of the light arrows, they would likely have been pierced and turned into pincushions before they could even mount their eagles. There would be no way they could escape from such a wide-range attack.

The "Argument Arrow" is specifically designed for Servants with high agility and low stamina; Astolfo's agility alone would make it impossible for him to escape such an attack.

Not to mention Emiya Shirou, who is the Master.

Astolfo couldn't bring himself to abandon Shirou Emiya and run for his own life; that wouldn't be the act of a hero.

While struggling with his thoughts in Astolfo.

A figure stood in front of him.

"Hold on to me!"

Emiya Shirou's tone was extremely calm, as if he had already found a way to deal with Archer's Noble Phantasm.

At this moment, the light arrows were already no more than 10 meters above their heads. In less than 0.1 seconds, the arrows, like raindrops, would pierce through their bodies.

"Fantasy Collapse—!"

The moment Arthur's golden light clashed with Achilles' shield, a fierce explosion erupted in front of Emiya—the explosion caused by the Honkai Impact, Emiya's most powerful weapon at this stage.

The intense flames even engulfed the light arrows falling from the sky, blasting them away.

But the explosion only lasts for a moment, while the light arrows will continue to fall.

Even such a terrifying explosion only swallowed a portion of the light arrow before losing its momentum, and the light arrow shot down from the sky without any obstruction.

However, the explosion was completely overwhelmed by the residual power of Arthur's Noble Phantasm.

The others present were preoccupied with their own affairs and did not notice the explosion that had occurred on Emiya's side.

But the explosion's effect is not limited to simply blocking arrows.

The terrifying impact sent Emiya and Astolfo flying like missiles.

The terrifying speed, carrying the aftershocks of the explosion, directly pulled Shirou Emiya and Astolfo out of the attack range of the "Complaint Arrow".

In order to maximize the power of his Noble Phantasm, the attack range of [Complaint Arrow] is also reduced to a very small size.

Atalanta's meticulous calculations determined that the range was precisely the area that even if Emiya discovered his location one second earlier and started running at full speed, he could only reach the edge.

After the Noble Phantasm is released, the light arrow only takes 2 seconds to reach the ground, a firing rate that is completely beyond the ability of ordinary humans to take any countermeasures.

Such a range would make it impossible for Emiya, who only realized the Noble Phantasm had been unleashed, to escape.

But what she didn't expect was that while she was ruthless, someone could be even more ruthless than her!

The explosion of the [Fantasy Collapse] occurred at almost zero distance, and Emiya didn't hesitate at all, as if he didn't care about his own life at all.

Conversely, this is what Astolfo found puzzling.

Emiya Shirou didn't care about his own life, but he wanted to protect him.

Because Emiya was standing in front of Astolfo.

Almost all the light arrows that struck Shirou Emiya's body before the [Imagine Collapse] explosion occurred, and Shirou also absorbed almost all of the [Imagine Collapse] explosion.

Astolfo was merely affected by the aftershocks of the explosion, slamming into a wall some distance away.

This is nothing to a Servant.

What followed was the residual damage from Arthur's Noble Phantasm.

If Astolfo were considered a living, breathing person, he wouldn't have any doubts about what Shirou Emiya had done.

He firmly believed that Shirou Emiya would become a great Heroic Spirit in the future, so he was not at all surprised by his heroic actions.

But he was merely a Servant, an avatar descended from the Throne of Heroes.
