Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

Emiya Shirou's heart was not swayed in the slightest by such words, even if they were borrowed ideals.

Emiya Shirou's conviction is no less than that of Amakusa Shirou Tokisada. These things alone are simply not enough to shake his resolve.

"call--!"

And seemingly knowing that such words could not sway Shirou Emiya, the pure white road in front of him suddenly became extremely distorted.

Countless thorns, swamps, lava, mountains, and ocean currents appeared before Shirou Emiya.

Numerous obstacles piled up in front of Shirou Emiya, and there was even an extremely powerful gravity suppressing him.

This made it difficult for Shirou Emiya to walk.

"I want to become—an ally of justice!!!"

This is not just a slogan, but Shirou Emiya's long-held belief and pursuit, regardless of any obstacles or harm he may suffer.

In this interwoven space-time.

He overcame countless obstacles, even though his body was covered in scars.

He climbed over one mountain after another, even though his body was exhausted.

He swam across the sea, even though his vision had become blurred.

Even though he knew the road ahead was difficult to cross, Shirou Emiya still kept running.

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada probably went down a similar path, didn't he?

Perhaps the similarity between the two is not just in their names; even when faced with these dilemmas, the choices they make are almost identical.

Faced with those whispers, Shirou Emiya and Shirou Amakusa Tokisada persevered with unwavering faith.

Faced with these numerous difficulties, they did not hesitate at all, taking one step at a time, without backing down in order to achieve their wishes.

At that moment, one angry voice after another rang out from around Shirou Emiya.

"This is the hope for us, the Einzberns!"

"This is something that must be done!"

"source!"

"source!"

That is the obsession left in the Greater Grail by the magicians of Einzbern throughout the ages.

"The Holy Grail is mine! It belongs to the Matou family!"

"No one can stop me!"

"eternal life!"

"eternal life!"

That was the madness left in the Greater Grail by the losers of previous Holy Grail Wars, and also some young voices that were somewhat similar.

"Humanity needs to be redeemed!"

That was Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's gentle yet intellectual voice.

Emiya Shirou, however, remained steadfast and continued walking forward, nothing could stop him.

go straight.

go straight.

Until a man with white hair, wearing a red cloak, holding a black and a white double sword, and kneeling in a desolate place with countless swords as his body was covered with arrows, appeared in front of this road.

The person in front of him looked so much like himself, from the sword arrows stuck in his body to the red cloak he wore, and his incredibly white hair.

When his strength is exhausted, Shirou Emiya's hair will turn completely white, just like the strong man in front of him.

But Shirou Emiya did not stop walking until a sword rang out in front of him.

Chapter 209 Humans Don't Need to Be Saved!

Blood!

No, it cannot be called blood; it was fragments of Shirou Emiya's soul that splattered beneath those black and white twin blades.

The two swords were thus inserted into Shirou Emiya's shoulders.

A profound sense of weakness permeated Shirou Emiya's entire body.

But he didn't have time to fight them; he had to move on.

This is a race against time, and Shirou Emiya knows he cannot afford to linger.

Countless swords were pulled from the barren land and flew into the air, shooting towards Shirou Emiya without reservation.

Two enormous weapons, carrying an aura of world-destroying power, emerged from the boundless snowfield and crashed towards the running Shirou Emiya.

A gunshot, filled with endless lamentation, rang out from the dark muzzle and pierced precisely into Emiya Shirou's heart.

Flames that could incinerate everything emerged from the endless clanging, slashing towards Shirou Emiya with the world shattered like snowflake crystals.

"You've finally arrived—"

When such a sound came from ahead, Shirou Emiya finally saw the scene in the light in front of him.

It was a scene completely different from the pitch-black space around it.

There were flowers everywhere, and the world seemed to be filled with beauty, with endless flowers covering the entire world.

It brings immense pleasure to both body and mind.

At the center of the world stood a woman dressed in a pure white gown, radiating a sacred aura, with long, silver hair, standing there with utmost poise.

She is the foundation of the Greater Grail, the great magician Justessa Rislesi von Einzbern, known as the "Winter Saintess".

"You arrived just in time?"

Standing in front of Emiya Shirou, Amakusa Shirou Tokisada praised Emiya Shirou in words devoid of emotion.

Meanwhile, Shirou Emiya was kneeling on the ground, gasping for air. The endless pain all over his body and the excruciating pain of his soul being torn apart were affecting his spirit.

However, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada was not in a good position either. His upper body was completely exposed to the air, and his incredibly solid body was covered with countless knife marks. Blood kept flowing from his body, staining the flowers at his feet crimson.

He must have suffered quite a few attacks, and his two arms were radiating magical energy as if they were bound by magical spells.

"Right Hand - Evil Eater".

"Left Arm - Tianhui Base Plate (left_hand_xanadu_matrix)".

That was Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's treasure weapon.

Grade: D

Type: Anti-personnel Noble Phantasm

Distance: 1

Maximum catch: 1 people

This is a Noble Phantasm formed from the arms that have repeatedly performed miracles, meant to give hope to believers on their arduous journey. It is a Skeleton Key that can connect to any magical base, allowing the use of any magic.

At the same time, the right and left wrists will activate abilities similar to the "Mind's Eye (True)" and "Mind's Eye (False)" skills, respectively, to enhance the baptism chant.

The right arm primarily provides support in combat, such as futuristic vision, while the left arm is responsible for enhancing the user's own abilities and grants the user immortality.

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada analyzed his magic circuits. Normally, magic circuits would become fixed organs once they were switched on or off. However, his magic circuits changed constantly, sometimes even increasing or decreasing in number.

In addition, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's face no longer wore the harmless smile he had before, but instead revealed an indifference as if he disregarded everything in the world, appearing extremely calm.

His eyes burned with a burning conviction.

Regardless of everything, we only follow the path ahead and move forward with unwavering faith.

The intensity of this belief is so strong that it can even inspire fear.

If one's willpower is not strong enough, one will be instantly defeated as soon as those eyes are fixed on him, and will be unable to face this saint.

"If you had arrived a moment later, perhaps I would have been able to meet the legendary [Winter Saintess] directly and have my wish fulfilled."

Emiya Shirou succeeded. Even though Amakusa Shirou Tokisada had fought so hard, he arrived in this space just before Emiya Shirou arrived.

Before Amakusa Shiro Tokisada could make any move, he sensed fluctuations in the space, indicating that another person had arrived.

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada didn't even need to use his revelation to guess that what was coming was Emiya Shirou, who was there to stop him.

If I had to explain why, it would be that Amakusa Shiro Tokisada saw a glimmer of miracles in Emiya Shirou.

He is someone who, like himself, can create miracles.

Even if Emiya Shirou is just an ordinary magician, so what? Amakusa Shirou Tokisada will never be like those Heroic Spirits, because the magicians look down on Emiya Shirou.

He has always regarded Shirou Emiya as his final enemy.

And Shirou Emiya did indeed do it.

He struggled to his feet and stared directly into the eyes of Amakusa Shiro Tokisada.

Their eyes also held an incredibly fervent belief.

Faced with Emiya Shirou's burning passion, Amakusa Shirou Tokisada only spoke with a hint of regret.

"Why? We're the same kind of people, so why don't you understand me?"

That wasn't information from a revelation skill, nor was it a feeling from intuition; it was a genuine confirmation that Shirou Emiya was also someone who would save the world.

"Both you and I are looking towards the future of humanity."

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada looked at the "Winter Saintess" in the distance and spoke slowly.

"But humanity's future doesn't need to be saved!"

Emiya Shirou looked at the "Winter Saintess" in the distance and refuted Amakusa Tokisada Shirou without any hesitation.

"Why? War, crime, greed—aren't all of these things destroying humanity?"

For Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, his greatest wish, or rather his obsession, was the salvation of all mankind.

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's pursuit was to grant all humans the same immortality, allowing them to live peacefully in eternal life.
