"Although I have never been defeated, I have never won either—"
The squirming flesh and blood finally launched an attack at this moment, rushing towards the young man with burning flames.
However, before the attack could reach the boy, the monster's body twisted again, and the attack only landed on the side of the boy and did not hit his body at all.
[Rebirth... Why do you refuse to be reborn... My compatriots... Why... Why! ]
Amid the angry roars, one face after another opened, roaring and questioning loudly, but no answer was given.
"People are often alone——"
"Iron is cast on the sword hill——"
And Emiya Shirou just chanted calmly, stimulating his own magic power even more violently.
For a moment, I seemed to remember the figure that had gone away, the figure that wanted to deny himself but finally recognized himself.
Why did I accept the invitation to become a savior after that disaster and go deep into danger again and again?
Ah, yes, it is because I want to stick to my ideals, to stick to my ideals as a righteous partner. Therefore, no matter how many hardships I go through, my wish will not change. For those who are in pain, I will step into danger and pain again and again. It doesn't matter if it is hypocrisy or a fake, no matter what accusations and ridicules, as long as my heart is as firm as a sword.
Only in this way can you have such a mental world and become who you are now.
"Therefore, this life does not need any meaning—"
"This body was definitely created by the Infinite Sword!!!"
As the last sound fell, the whole world changed.
The bright red burning flames overwhelmed the dim yellow flames.
The red sand dunes spread far away, countless swords stood in the desert, and the young man stood among the swords.
Looking up, Shirou Emiya looked at the monster in front of him, at the deformed monster that seemed a little at a loss because it had come to a strange place.
"I cannot agree with the desire to destroy the world because of one's own despair."
He reached out and pulled a long sword out of the ground.
"You are not responding to those in despair, you are just pushing those who are suffering into a deeper abyss. It is nothing but self-destructive madness."
“So, I will stop you here. I will not let the power of the [Fire of Rebirth] destroy this world. You must stop here!”
Then, in the next moment, with a sound, countless sword blades flew up from the desert dunes, sweeping along with the boy's steps forward.
【Rebirth... unstoppable! 】
With an angry roar, the monster whose flesh and blood had dissolved rushed forward with a burning dim flame, but was pierced by a giant sword over ten meters long and was knocked away and hit the ground.
One after another, the sharp blades flashed with patterns of magic, and with the sound of resonating bells, they transformed into beams of light that attacked rapidly, piercing through the huge monster, exploding it and creating bloody holes on its body one after another.
At the same time, the young man rushed forward, accompanied by countless surging sword blades, and headed straight towards the huge monster.
The roaring sound spread rapidly in the sword hill. The dim flames collided and exploded with the raging sword light. Amidst the surging light, the young man was blown away by the angry monster and flew far back.
He stretched out his hand and pulled out a long sword, then rolled on the ground, using the sword blade to pierce the ground to steady his body.
A ray of fire rushed over, and then a long sword on the ground next to Emiya Shirou flew up to block the ray, protecting the boy's body.
As the monster howled even more angrily, dozens of rays spread rapidly around, but then dozens of different sword blades pierced down, piercing through all the heads that emitted the rays and penetrating their eye sockets.
"My mental world is called the world of Infinite Swordsmanship. All the weapons I project and copy are stored here."
"Before I stepped into this world, perhaps your power was indeed terrifying. The flames that would kill anyone who touched them were indeed difficult for me to resist."
"But, after arriving here, I, who possess countless swords, will be able to completely suppress you. This is your end!"
He took a step forward and charged forward with countless sword blades.
The young man leaped up with a roar, and used one projected weapon after another to block the flames released by the monster. The twisted flesh and blood limbs spread and grew, trying to stop the young man's actions, but were pierced and nailed to the ground by several long swords that fell from the sky.
The monster in a rage tore its head open, revealing the endless flames inside and unleashing them at the boy. But before that, a huge sword had already penetrated through the monster's open flesh and blood, colliding with the fiercely burning fire and shattering it.
This slight time difference was enough for the young man to reach out and catch the dazzling sword that fell from among the countless flying sword blades and landed in his hand.
The weapon that was copied and projected from the power of the young Servant who had once accompanied him was now unleashing its power.
【Rebirth——Unstoppable!!!】
"The golden sword from eternity and distance [Excalibur Image]!!!"
The next moment, the roaring force of the collision completely submerged the red sword hill.
Chapter 37: You Be My Eyes
"Ugh..."
The girl raised herself up among the broken rubble and let out a muffled cry of pain.
There was a loud explosion just now. Although Lin Yi pushed her away and avoided an extremely dangerous attack, the feeling of falling into the rubble was not a pleasant thing. At this moment, Yotsuya Miko only felt that her whole body was in a state of severe pain. The slightest movement would make her cry.
"Woo..."
Also, my legs seem a bit weak.
Jianzi looked at his legs and saw the redness and swelling on his ankle. It was obvious that he had sprained his ankle after falling.
It hurts……
The sprained area feels like it is throbbing with pain, oooh…
With just an injury of this degree, I could hardly move.
Senior Lin Yi, Senior Emiya, and those special forces members, how much pain did they experience in the previous battles? And after enduring the pain, they were still able to fight with all their strength, instead of being unable to move after a minor injury like me.
This kind of me...
"See you, are you there?"
When the girl was about to give up on herself, she suddenly heard Lin Yi's voice.
"senior?"
Gritting her teeth, the girl pushed herself up and stood up, walking towards the direction where the sound came from.
A low murmur sounded from the side at this time, startling Jianzi. She carefully crouched down, using the debris of the collapsed buildings to cover her whereabouts. She observed the situation carefully according to the method mentioned by Lin Yi before, and found that it was a dissolving monster with flames all over its body walking through the ruins with its back to her.
Didn't all the monsters merge with that big guy?
If that's the case, then the others might be in danger.
The nervous girl slowed down her pace and continued to walk towards the place where she heard Lin Yi's voice. It didn't take too long for her to find Lin Yi lying in a pile of rubble. Lin Yi looked extremely embarrassed, miserable, and even a little scary.
"S-Senior..."
The girl, who was about to scream subconsciously, quickly covered her mouth to prevent the sound from coming out.
"Well, I'm here. It seems that being a hero can easily come at a price. Anyway, how is the surrounding area? Is it safe? Are there any monsters?"
Lin Yi raised his head and tilted his ear towards Jianzi.
His eyes no longer exist. The steel bar that pierced across directly tore Lin Yi's eyes apart. At this moment, there was a wound on his face that almost went through his entire face. The blood that flowed out had dyed most of his face red.
Such an injury... Such an injury...
"Don't worry about it. The system will repair the damage after the mission is completed. Remember what I said? Even if you are cut into pieces, the Savior System can still save you. So don't worry too much about this minor injury. Just treat it as a novel and unforgettable experience."
Lin Yi noticed Jianzi's emotional change, smiled gently and said to her.
"This experience... is it something new..."
“So it’s still pretty unforgettable, isn’t it?”
"Woo..."
Stretching out his left hand, even though he could no longer see with his eyes, Lin Yi still accurately placed his fingers on Jianzi's head and gently touched her long black hair.
“Whether it’s a good experience or a bad experience, as long as you get through it, it will become your strength and the cornerstone for you to move forward.”
"Don't think that this is your responsibility or that you are a burden to me. We are companions, I am a senior and you are a newcomer, so I will protect you and guide you. This is my responsibility. Don't cry about this kind of thing. Take over this responsibility, and when you meet a newcomer like you now, use your strength to protect the other person, that's all. Okay, stop crying and smile. Aren't we still alive? Since we are still alive, we should smile."
“Hmm… wu… wu…”
The girl lowered her head, tears flowing uncontrollably from her eyes.
Lin Yi just smiled and patted the girl's head gently. Then, he tried to stand up and showed a helpless expression.
"Alright, alright, let's save the sadness for later. We are not safe yet, and the mission is not over yet, so what we need most now is rationality and using our own abilities to overcome the difficulties in front of us."
"Hmm... Let me think. Jianzi, can you look around to see if there is anything around, like steel bars or iron bars, preferably something sharp and sturdy. Well, I think my backpack should be nearby, you can look for it."
"Um……"
Without giving Jianzi too much time to indulge in sadness, Lin Yi's tone quickly became serious. The girl touched her cheek, took a deep breath, and then began to carefully search around the ruins.
The dark yellow flames that were everywhere served as a good lighting source in this underground ruin. The phantoms of the fire of rebirth did not seem to need oxygen to burn, and because of the low-temperature air currents that had rolled up from somewhere, the unbearable high temperature in this place was diluted, and it even became a little refreshing and pleasant.
Jianzi quickly found Lin Yi's backpack, carefully avoided some monsters wandering in the ruins and returned to Lin Yi's side.
After getting the backpack back, even though Lin Yi could not see anything now, he still skillfully took out a dagger from the backpack and handed it to Jianzi.
"This is……"
The girl blinked, not quite understanding what Lin Yi meant.
"It's just a weapon for emergency situations. You were born in a peaceful era and have not received any training, so I can't give you a gun. Someone who doesn't know how to use it could easily kill his teammates or himself. As for weapons like daggers, you don't have much combat awareness after all, so using it to protect yourself might have the opposite effect. But I can't care about that now. Just take it first. If you can't use it, just think of it as a small gift bought for you by me, your senior."
Lin Yi handed the dagger to Jianzi in a casual tone. The girl hesitated for a moment, but still took the sharp weapon which was more than ten centimeters long and engraved with strange patterns.
Then, Lin Yi took out a strange small cylinder from his backpack, and then took out a second dagger.
"Unfortunately, the one I had was accidentally lost during the battle. I can only wait for the mission to be over and let the system pick it up for me."
With a regretful tone, Lin Yi moved his body as much as possible, and Jianzi then understood the biggest reason why Lin Yi had been sitting there motionless.
One of his hands was caught in the rubble.
The piled-up thick rubble contained various heavy mechanical equipment, and the accumulated weight made it impossible for even Lin Yi to break free easily, not to mention that his ability was further reduced after his injury.
Lin Yi's right hand had been completely twisted into a horrible shape at this moment, but there were still some bones and flesh connected, making it impossible for Lin Yi to break free easily.
So he swung the dagger decisively and stabbed it hard into the arm.
Accompanied by a series of terrifying shattering sounds, Lin Yi cut off his arm cleanly and neatly, then picked up the small cylinder and pressed it against the bleeding arm. Only then did Jianzi realize that the cylinder was a small flamethrower, and Lin Yi was using it to burn his wound to avoid bleeding.
"Huh... I should be able to regain my mobility now."
Lin Yi said this with a relaxed expression.
"S-Senior..."
Watching Lin Yi complete this rough amputation operation without saying a word and without shaking his hands the entire time, the girl felt that her cognitive world had been strongly impacted.
Isn't this senior of mine too powerful?
Is it possible that he really has no sense of pain at all?
"Okay, Jianzi, come here and get on my back."
While the girl was still thinking, Lin Yi had already squatted down and motioned her to come over.
"senior?"
Jianzi didn't quite understand what Lin Yi meant.
"There are still those monsters around, and you have no ability to protect yourself, so you have to rely on me. But now I can't see anything, so I can only carry you on my back and continue to move forward."
Lin Yi raised his torn face and spoke calmly to Jianzi.
"If an enemy appears, tell me which direction they are coming from and where they are coming from, and then give me a warning when they are about 5 meters away. If they are moving very quickly, give me a warning first. If you don't have a clear grasp of the distance, you can also give me a warning when the enemy is within one meter."
"We can only get through this situation together. And like I said before, I will protect you. This is our agreement in this mission, and I will abide by it. Well, without further ado, don't waste time, and come here quickly."
Hearing the urging voice, Jianzi hesitated slightly, but still walked forward, put his arms around Lin Yi's neck, and was carried on his back.
"Really...no problem?"
The girl's voice at this moment seemed to tremble slightly.
"It's okay, trust me, and trust yourself, Jianzi."
