Shirou Emiya doesn't want to work overtime

Irisviel and Kiritsugu are out together, going to destroy Einzbern together. She is not just a vase watching Kiritsugu deal with all of them.

She had truly fought alongside Emiya Kiritsugu, and had truly confronted those magi, and that was not a burden that was borne by Emiya Kiritsugu.

It was a burden that was borne by both himself and Kiritsugu.

Irisviel stayed by Kiritsugu's side, not only learning from him, but also gaining her own combat experience as a true magus.

She is Kiritsugu Emiya's wife, and she has always been by Kiritsugu's side providing assistance when he is away from home all year round.

"Route, Kiritsugu needs to lead Shirou to the corresponding location. Although the route is not fixed, it is not without traces!"

Irisviel had no way of seeing the figure of Emiya Kiritsugu who had become invisible while wearing the [Faceless King].

But she only needed to know that Emiya Shirou had been chasing Emiya Kiritsugu. By seeing where the sword and arrow attacks landed, she could determine Emiya Kiritsugu's location.

The magic power on his body gradually rose, and the silver threads crisscrossed again. Hundreds of mice and birds with wings spread out were immediately sketched out vividly.

Having assisted Kiritsugu in battles for many years, she has mastered her own magic to perfection, not only sketching creatures,

She was even able to outline a huge fist with the threads.

These creatures outlined by silver threads moved at the fastest speed in the direction set by Irisviel.

She didn't need to keep up with Kiritsugu Emiya's speed to reach the next place he wanted to go, because in terms of speed, she was far inferior to Kiritsugu Emiya and Shirou Emiya.

What Irisviel had to do was to destroy Emiya Kiritsugu's next location, or the next next location, or the traps and props further away.

"Bam—!"

Just a few hundred meters ahead, a strong impact occurred, causing Kiritsugu Emiya to pause and immediately roll to the side.

"Time alter--triple accel!" (Time control triple speed)

The original place was instantly devoured by the speeding sword arrows, the ground instantly exploded, and the neat streets instantly turned into ruins.

"what happened!"

Feeling his heart beating so hard that it was in great pain, and the wounds on his body that were pierced and bleeding continuously, Kiritsugu Emiya frowned as he struggled to stand up from the ground.

The trap he set not far ahead had been completely triggered. Not only that, it seemed that the traps he set were being triggered one by one at an extremely terrifying speed.

Chapter 1012: Partner of Justice

The moment he saw Emiya Kiritsugu appear, Emiya Shirou was stunned for a moment, as if his thoughts had stopped, and he watched the scarlet arrows and bullets that pierced the air coming towards him.

Partner of justice.

This ideal was not Shirou Emiya's own, but one he borrowed from the figure of a man whose eyes were filled with tears but who was happy from the bottom of his heart.

But at this moment, the person she admired, the man who planted the seed of a righteous partner in her heart, was standing opposite her.

"Shirou——!!!"

A shout instantly brought Emiya Shirou back to his senses, but the heavy bullets and red arrows had already reached him.

“Puff! Puff!”

Bright red blood bloomed in front of Shirou Emiya, and large amounts of blood fell down, and a large amount of blood seeped out of his body.

At this time, Emiya Kiritsugu was staring at Emiya Shirou, his hands holding the crossbow became more and more powerful, and his eyes were full of vigilance.

The explosion did not happen.

Emiya Shirou still stood there, not moving.

"why?"

A faint questioning voice came from this space.

Emiya Shirou, who didn't care about his wound at all, slowly raised his head and stared at the other person with sharp eyes.

It only took Emiya Kiritsugu a split second to understand what the other party was referring to.

"Save the world, that's all—"

This matter-of-fact and casual remark stunned Emiya Shirou, and even more so Irisviel, who had been eavesdropping on the side through her familiar.

Immediately, Emiya Shirou took a sudden step forward and approached Emiya Kiritsugu.

"Sacrificing a few to save the majority, is this kind of justice really justice?" There was no doubt about the partner named justice in Emiya Shirou's words, only a question to Emiya Kiritsugu.

Kiritsugu did not retreat, nor did he continue shooting at Emiya Shirou.

When his last resort failed to kill Emiya Shirou, the outcome of the battle was revealed.

The rest of the traps, weapons and equipment in the venue have been destroyed, his body has been stretched to its limit due to the constant use of inherent time control, and his magic power has been almost exhausted due to the fierce battle.

Emiya Kiritsugu is now at the end of his rope and has lost all means of turning the situation around.

The class card on his body even popped out due to the depletion of magic power and physical strength.

The surrounding yew trees also began to disappear.

At this moment, his surroundings were covered by the black quagmire filled with malice.

When I saw Emiya Shirou using the black mud on the rooftop that day, I simply thought that he had stored the black mud through some means and was using this [evil].

Although this black mud can cause irreversible infection to humans with just the slightest contact, it is not something that cannot be controlled.

If he were exposed to the magic world, there would be countless ways to restrict him.

But he never thought that the container of all this evil was Shirou Emiya himself.

"If you want to save someone, it means you can't save others. Listen, humans can only save things on their own side. Although it's natural, this is the definition of a righteous partner."

Emiya Kiritsugu did not dodge at all, and looked straight into Emiya Shirou's eyes with determined eyes. This was his path and his unswerving ideal.

"On one side are six billion human beings, and on the other side is just a Holy Grail! There is undoubtedly only one outcome to this choice!"

"Life cannot be compared with numbers!" Emiya Shirou did not give in.

"Any life seems insignificant in front of six billion humans! Any life seems insignificant in front of the world!"

"After carefully weighing its value, I chose the side that the scale leans towards. That's right!"

"In order to save the majority, someone must sacrifice. If the happy side that is protected is greater than the unfortunate side, the world is closer to being saved. Even if there are countless corpses under your feet, this is a necessary sacrifice!"

“Lives are saved because of this, and the most important thing is these lives that are being protected!”

"Justice is never a choice! Neither is life! The people to be saved shouldn't just be the majority! They should be everyone!"

"What a pity! There is no such option! The scale has only two ends! Given the limited power, this is the best solution that can be achieved!"

"The third choice needs to be explored and fought for by yourself! How do you know you can't do it if you never try!" Emiya Shirou's eyes were also firm and he was not shaken at all by Emiya Kiritsugu's words.

"Naive! Childish!"

Emiya Kiritsugu scoffed at Emiya Shirou's words.

"The unknown means that you cannot control the final outcome of the incident. Perhaps more people will be saved, or perhaps more people will die because of your naivety!"

"When this matter is led to the unknown, casualties are not within your control. You may have many opportunities to try! But those people only have one life. Whether you succeed or not, they must pay the price for your attempt!"

"Even if you sacrifice yourself, will those who shouldn't have died survive because of your sacrifice?"

"Our world cannot allow for another failure. Your attempt is putting the lives of six billion people on the line!"

"Should those few be sacrificed? Should those few be the ones who die? Are they not worth saving?"

Emiya Shirou disagreed. He could not agree with Emiya Kiritsugu's so-called righteous partner in any way.

Everyone has value to be saved, and no one is born to be sacrificed!

"Your naive ideals will only result in more casualties!"

If, if he could have killed Xia Li at that time, and had not let her go because of his own compassion, and had not let her come to the village because of his own feelings.

Then all the people in the village would not become Dead Apostles, the village would not be destroyed, and more people would be saved.

If you want to save everyone, the final outcome will be that no one can be saved.

Only sacrifice.

Only that unwavering sacrifice can save everyone.

Therefore, the path of his righteous companion can never be wrong!

No matter how despicable and shameless the means, as long as resources can be used most effectively and the number of lives can be maintained at the highest possible level, this is salvation for mankind.

This is his oath - I will do all the good in this world, and I will cover all the evil in this world.

Chapter 1013: One versus Three

"call--!"

The howling wind swept across the entire street, causing the robes of people standing on both sides of the street to rustle.

Countless trees were pulled up from the land nearby and instantly covered the entire street.

Waves of purple-black poisonous gas gushed out from it.

Illya's brother stared at the man who called himself Sasaki Kojiro and raised his unusual long sword which was over five feet long. His body tensed up involuntarily.

The magic power in Lijielit's body was also rising in a step-by-step manner. She hadn't used magic power so vigorously in a long time.

The same thing happened to Sera behind the two of them. Magic power surged through her body, and emerald green stripes instantly climbed up Shirou Emiya's body. Silver threads also covered the three of them at this moment.

Although she does not have as strong close combat ability as Lijelite, she has more outstanding magic circuits. If she were placed in the Magic Association, she would also be a first-class magician.

In another world, she is Illya's magic teacher.

Just like Irisviel, Sera can also use healing magic and some basic magic, poison resistance is one of them, but it can't last for too long.

"We don't need to continue to fight with the other party. We just need to rescue Illya. Liz, you go stop the other party, Shirou, you go rescue Illya, and I will be responsible for remote support!"

Feeling the solemn atmosphere all around, Sera immediately made arrangements for the next course of action.

"No, there's no need to go through so much trouble. The boss's aura is not good right now. I will deal with you in the shortest possible time!"

"boom--!"

With the sound of crisp footsteps, Sasaki Kojiro's figure turned into a blurry black shadow, and in a flash, he appeared in front of Illya Emiya, who was also Shirou Emiya's brother.

"choke--!"

A sword light suddenly appeared in the space in front of him, like an arc-shaped half moon, and slashed towards Illya's brother's neck like lightning.

The strong wind contained in the sword directly tore the air apart, causing a leaf that fell on it to be split into two neat halves in an instant.

"choke--!"

However, at this moment, another red axe light suddenly appeared from the space like dancing blood, and it passed by and collided heavily with the long knife that was slashing towards Illya's brother's neck.

"Qiang——!"

Amid the loud sound of metal clashing, a violent impact energy vibrated out from the space where the two sword lights collided with each other, and then transformed into tangible energy, surging out like an overwhelming force.

"Bam—!"

As if hit by a shock wave, the figure with sword light was directly blown back by the exploding energy.

"Oh?"

Sasaki Kojiro, who was shocked back, raised his eyebrows.

In battle mode, Lijielit can probably match Medusa (Rider) (who uses super strength) in arm wrestling. Her ability value is probably B-.

"Don't be in a daze, Shirou!"

Lijielit tightly grasped the long axe in her hand and reminded her brother Illya, who had not even reacted just now, and the magic power in her body was also fluctuating rapidly.

"Super strength? He is just a human, but he possesses such a level of strength? It seems that this battle will not be over in as short a time as I thought. Am I too confident?"

The man who called himself Sasaki Kojiro sighed slightly, but his eyes revealed that he never took the three people in front of him seriously, and he continued talking.

"I don't know how long Archer can delay this. It turned out to be the right choice to use a familiar to inform Angelica in advance—"

"But pure brute force can't take her away from me!"

The moment he finished speaking, Sasaki Kojiro stomped the ground again and slashed at Lijelite.

"choke!"

When the silver sword light flashed across the space, wherever the sword light passed, the air seemed to be cut off by something and became chaotic.
