Public executions started with King Adonai

This is entirely because Toosaka Rin cares too much about Red A and Emiya Shirou, which makes her unable to take sides.

The girl's heart is tangled and sensitive.

The person who can empathize with this feeling the most in the real world is Rin Tousaka.

After all, they are the same person, and both have feelings for Emiya Shirou.

When she thought about the scene where she was facing two Emiya Shirou fighting each other, and both Emiya Shirou had reasons to fight, Toosaka Rin felt that at that time, she might try to do something, but in the end she would choose to watch.

Because just as the 'self' in the image on the screen said, she couldn't save Red A, was powerless about many things, and all she could do was watch.

-

The image on the light screen showed that Shirou Emiya was gasping for breath, his arms were shaking, the black and white swords in his hands were pitted, and big drops of sweat were dripping down. He looked very tired.

In response, Red A coldly scoffed, "How foolish of you to appear here knowing you can't defeat me."

"I have been imprisoned by meaningless ideals all my life, a fake without my own will."

"Do you understand? This is your true self!"

"Saving someone just because you want to is wrong in the final analysis."

"As a malfunctioning human, you are a fake that shouldn't have existed in the first place."

"Something like this isn't worth living for!"

The words were as harsh as ever, and what they contained, besides the sarcasm towards Shirou Emiya, was actually his own self-denial.

The double-edged curse is to completely deny oneself.

Yes, Red A really thinks that Shirou Emiya should not have existed in the first place.

Perhaps, Shirou Emiya should have died in the fire that broke out at the end of the Fourth Holy Grail War.

Red A thinks so.

The person he hates most is himself!

Hearing Red A's complete denial, Emiya Shirou gritted his teeth and looked up at Red A.

As their eyes met, accompanied by a solemn and fateful background music, Red A's voice rang out again: "I am your ideal. You should understand that you will never be able to defeat me."

Upon hearing this, Emiya Shirou gritted his teeth, then stood up suddenly and responded to Red A with his own actions - he shouted loudly, activated the projection magic, and new and complete black and white swords appeared again, and rushed towards Red A with a roar.

The two sides collided again. Seeing this, Red A calmly dealt with Emiya Shirou's attack while saying coldly, "I see. It's understandable that you can't agree with me. As long as I remain your ideal, Emiya Shirou must deny me more than anyone else."

“…” Shirou Emiya remained silent and just gritted his teeth and attacked.

Red A mercilessly exerted force again and knocked Shirou Emiya away.

After standing still, Emiya Shirou continued to attack without hesitation.

However, the young man was already very tired, and his attacks seemed weak and powerless, but his willpower was still strong, and his expression was still resolute, without any wavering.

However, his willpower was unable to solve the problem of physical fatigue, so he was quickly blocked by Red A with one hand, resulting in a standoff between the two sides.

Red A's voice rang out again at this moment: "Hmph, then, let me ask you, do you really want to be a partner of justice?"

Upon hearing this question, Emiya Shirou answered without hesitation: "Why are you still asking this now? I'm not 'wanting to be', but - I absolutely must be!"

His voice was resounding, leaving no room for doubt, and fully demonstrated his determination and decisiveness.

As he spoke, Emiya Shirou exerted force again, breaking the stalemate of Red A and continuing to attack, but Red A easily blocked it and whispered as if to Emiya Shirou, or as if talking to himself.

"Yes, absolutely. It has to be."

"If you ask why, it's the only emotion Emiya Shirou has."

"Even if it doesn't come from your own heart."

Upon hearing this, Emiya Shirou immediately tried to exert force.

Seeing this, Red A continued, "It seems like you've noticed something. I don't have any memories of the past, but even so, the scene in that dimension is still unforgettable."

"In a sea of fire filled with the smell of death, the desperate cry for help, and the emotion of being rescued."

The scene changed at this moment and returned to that night when Kiritsugu Emiya rescued little Shirou Emiya from a sea of fire and ruins.

"The relieved face of the man named Emiya Kiritsugu when he rescued me."

"This is the root of your ideal!"

“Just something that comes from gratitude for being rescued.”

"Yes, you are just admiring Emiya Kiritsugu."

"The look on that man's face when he rescued you was just too happy. You just wanted to be that person."

The picture shows the face of Emiya Kiritsugu who rescued Emiya Shirou. It was a face full of relief, emotion, and a smile of being redeemed.

Yes, Kiritsugu Emiya saved Shirou Emiya, and Shirou Emiya also redeemed Kiritsugu Emiya.

The two people, on that nightmarish night, became each other's saviors.

Chapter 529: Shirou Emiya was hit in the waist

Red A is denying itself and also analyzing itself.

He knows himself better than anyone else.

As the saying goes, the hardest person to understand is oneself, but Red A is an exception.

Red A knows himself better than anyone else. He knows better than anyone else that his life and his dreams are borrowed, inherited from others, and are false and hypocritical.

At least, that's what Red A thinks.

Therefore, he wanted to use his words to defeat his past self and destroy him both physically and mentally.

Very cruel and crazy.

But in a sense, it is also a way of salvation for Red A.

Yes, perhaps Red A still wants to save himself, who he thinks is hopeless, and still upholds the ideal of being a righteous partner.

Otherwise, if he simply wanted to kill the opponent, Red A could have done it long ago. Why did he behave like he had always done, releasing the sea while acting as if he was passing on his skills, allowing Shirou Emiya to continuously level up and kill monsters to upgrade?

At the same moment, the scene moved to Emiya Shirou. The young man opened his mouth slightly, without saying a word, as if what Red A said had completely hit the nail on the head.

At the same moment, Emiya Shirou's inner voice rang out.

“Yes, I wasn’t the only one saved at that time.”

"A child who shouldn't have been saved from a fire where no one survived, and a man searching for survivors who shouldn't have been there."

"If there's one thing that's truly miraculous, it's..."

The rest of the story was left unsaid, but Red A spoke up at this point: "It's natural for children to admire their parents, but that guy left you a curse before he died."

The scene switches, showing a memory where one night, Kiritsugu Emiya and Shirou Emiya sat side by side, and little Shirou Emiya told Kiritsugu Emiya that he wanted to inherit his dream and become a partner of justice.

Red A's cold voice echoed with this scene: "From that moment on, I believed I had to become a partner of justice!"

"Your ideals are borrowed!"

A judgment-like statement, which is also the final conclusion, has already appeared.

"You are merely imitating the ideals that Emiya Kiritsugu believes in!"

Emiya Shirou: "That is..."

Red A: "A partner of justice? Stop making people laugh. Living for others—that kind of ideal is definitely not what you desire!"

"You're so arrogant that you can help others!"

The following words were shouted, and at the same time, Red A suddenly exerted force and stabbed a knife into Shirou Emiya's thigh, causing real damage to Shirou Emiya for the first time.

The pain of his thigh being torn made Shirou Emiya scream, and he was knocked down again.

Seeing this scene, the girls were tense, nervous and heartbroken.

When people in the real world saw this, they all exclaimed that Red A had finally taken action. It was no longer a pure release, but he was really going to cause harm to Shirou Emiya.

However, many people also complained about this.

"He kept calling out Emiya Kiritsugu's name. If I remember correctly, during the Fourth Holy Grail War, when facing Emiya Kiritsugu, Red A called him 'Daddy', right?"

"Good fellow, you're such a filial son in front of your father, but you're also a filial son behind his back?"

"Also, although it seems like he's being very harsh on himself, as if he wants to blast himself into pieces, the whole process looks like he's actually imparting his skills to himself. Look at how much Emiya Shirou has upgraded to."

"I deny myself, I loathe myself, I attack myself. But I just won't kill. I keep saying I want to kill, but even with so many opportunities, I just won't."

"Do you think Red A wants to simply make Shirou Emiya give up his dream so that he can reverse the future?"

"It's possible, perhaps you don't want to let your past self go down the same path if you have another chance?"

"No, no, no, I think Red A is just killing people and destroying their hearts. He not only wants to kill Emiya Shirou, but also destroy Emiya Shirou's heart. That's the sense of accomplishment of 'I killed myself'."

"Hiss~~ Do you really want to or dare to think about it!"

People spoke and discussed in various ways, all of them were puzzled by Red A's current performance, but also seemed to understand why Red A was doing this.

Such contradictory behavior, just like the person Red A, is full of endless contradictions.

-

On the light screen, Red A slowly came in front of Shirou Emiya and continued to speak words to attack Shirou Emiya's mind.

"Yes! The desire to help others was something I admired because of their beauty, so it wasn't an emotion that came from me!"

"If this isn't hypocrisy, then what is?!"

"I am driven by the obsessive notion of 'living for others,' and I keep moving forward with arrogance. But it is a fake after all. This kind of hypocrisy can't save anything!!!"

While the verbal output was continuing, the physical output was also continuing, constantly attacking Shirou Emiya, forcing Shirou Emiya to constantly defend and retreat, which made the already injured Shirou Emiya even worse.

However, Emiya Shirou's wounds were healing rapidly at the same time, and he did not lose his combat effectiveness due to the injury.

At this moment, the picture shows something on Shirou Emiya's chest emitting a faint red light, and then the picture shows Shirou Emiya's neck, and you can see a necklace on his neck.

Then, the scene switched to Rin Tohsaka. The girl stared at the two fighting and thought to herself, "The gem is taking effect. This way, Shirou's injuries will heal quickly, at least until the magic power of the gem is exhausted."

"But, this battle..."

The rest of the words were not spoken, but the worry on Toosaka Rin's face said it all.

Red A continued to attack Emiya Shirou with more denials and more verbal attacks from the perspective of understanding. He vented all his negative emotions at this moment.

The direct result was that Red A became more and more angry, and attacked more and more vigorously, and even launched a killing attack - he stabbed Shirou Emiya's abdomen with a knife, and blood splattered out instantly.

Seeing this scene, Mordred and Illya's faces changed drastically and they shouted "Shirou". Only Toosaka Rin, although she tensed up for a moment, remained calm. After all, she knew better than anyone how effective the gem she left for Emiya Shirou was.

Although such injuries are terrible, they can still recover quickly if the gem continues to work.

Finally, Emiya Shirou was knocked down by Red A's continuous output. Facing the exhausted and wounded Emiya Shirou lying on the ground, Red A roared with a somewhat ferocious look: "My righteous companion, if you can't live without this ideal, then drown yourself holding on to it!"

Emiya Shirou: “…”

There was no answer. The young man looked weak, as if his life was slipping away rapidly.

However, the young man's voice was heard at this moment.

"That guy's statement, although mostly correct..."

"but……"

"I always feel like I've forgotten something..."

Chapter 530: Shirou Emiya: The hell lies ahead!

The image on the light screen, at this moment, Emiya Shirou's consciousness seemed to have fallen into another world.

The scene displayed also changed, becoming what Emiya Shirou saw.

Standing on the earth dominated by gray, everything is gray, as if the world has lost its color.

The only color was the blood spilled from the corpses on the ground. It was the only bright color in this gray and white world.

Because, those bright red colors represent death, represent the disappearance of life, and represent the fact that Red A takes the lives of others.
