Red A (spreads his hands): No more pretending, I'll lay it all out. I'm a trai-cough, Partner of Justice!
Because Illya used Ruruby, the destroyed castle of Replacement Magic is gradually returning to its original appearance - a rocky mountain without any vegetation.
"Magecraft is of such amazing scale that it can replace a rocky mountain and an entire castle. It's incredible."
Looking at the rocks rising suddenly all around, Luviya, who had just arrived next to Bazett, couldn't help but marvel.
"No, maybe it's not just the castle..."
Rin, who was squatting on the ground and confirmed that Bazett was not fatally injured, spoke, and then looked at Darius who was exposed on the stone platform and protected behind him by Angelica and Beatrice.
Because they withdrew from the battle, Servant and Red A also came to Rin at this time, holding their hands and staring closely at the Darius.
On the other side, Illya and others have also gathered. Everyone is staring at Darius who looks like he is melting a little on the stone platform.
"Did you... notice it too?"
Giant Hero asked Illya.
"Hmm..."
Illya nodded slightly, his eyes still firmly locked on Darius.
"Darius, Julian, and the father of Julian whom you mentioned, make assumptions based on all the information obtained. This is the most likely possibility!"
"Huh?" Shirou blinked his big confused eyes, "What's the possibility?"
"I always thought that Darius was a similar existence to Ahlad, but I was mistaken. Darius is actually the ancestor of Enzworth! He is an existence that has lived for thousands of years! And the reason for his survival is... Replacement Magic!"
As soon as Illya finished speaking, Darius's body, which was still suffering in pain, finally collapsed, and a black shadow was liberated from the body that was constantly collapsing!
At the same time, Angelica also quickly took out a piece of cloth and covered the liberated shadow, guarding him closely!
Although the black shadow only appeared for a moment and was blocked by Angelica with a piece of cloth, it was still captured by Illya and others.
"Julian..."
Giant Hero murmured, it was unmistakable, that shadow was definitely his classmate and "friend" Julian!
"So who is Julian?"
Shirou looked confused, looking left and right to find someone to explain to him, but no one could spare the time to explain to him at this critical moment.
Looking at Shirou who looked puzzled, Illya just replied calmly, "They are just enemies."
Illya is not stupid. If he tells Shirou all the truth and Enzworth's purpose at this time, it is impossible to predict what Shirou will choose and do.
Therefore, the best way is to say nothing, gather everyone's strength and work together to clear this level, and then take Miyu and Giant Hero with everyone to go to the world over there.
As for the world that will eventually end, because there is no way at all, so I just ignore it. This is the most perfect and reasonable ending... For Illya.
"I see. Anyway, just defeat them, right?"
Shirou, who didn't understand the situation, was convinced. Projection started, and Gan Jiang and Mo Ye was called out and held tightly in his hands, staring closely at the three people on the stone platform.
"Hahahaha... hahahaha..."
Julian, who had been separated from Darius's body after his condition had stabilized, suddenly began to laugh wildly. This development was indeed unexpected.
"What? You'll get tired if you laugh too much. It's not funny, it's not funny!"
With that said, Julian stood up, raised his right hand, and then a black cube with a diameter of more than ten meters began to appear little by little in the sky above it!
"Your words, will, and emotions are just materials! It's useless. My myth will never be subverted by anyone!"
"What on earth is that..."
Shirou's pupils trembled as he stared blankly at the hundred-meter-diameter black cube in his hair. Even Shirou could feel that it was something that could not be dealt with by humans.
"Shirou, that black object is very bad!"
Saber raised her brows, holding the sword in both hands, and stared at the black cube above her head.
"What, it turns out you can feel it too..."
The sound of Julian in their ears caught everyone off guard. The two Emiya Shirou were the first to react and turned around and slashed without thinking!
But... it's already a step too late.
Julian succeeded in the sneak attack through Replacement Magic. Illya's left shoulder was slightly injured, and Miyu, who was standing with Illya, was deprived of the Caster card in his hand.
"Illyasviel, Emiya Shirou, giving Miyu extra wisdom and strength, and destroying my father's concept replacement, these are just trivial matters, but you should remember it for me. If you want to destroy my myth, if you want to subvert the ending I prescribed, I will destroy you with my own hands!"
Saying that, Julian also directly crushed Caster's Class Card with one hand!
"As expected, in order to liberate Miyu, you are the one who must be defeated, Julian!!"
Giant Hero roared with all his strength, but none of the two swords in his hands could touch Julian. They were all diverted by the application of Replacement Magic beside him.
"Cut!"
Julian made a sound, and then returned to the original position of the stone platform. At the same time, Julian's space replacement was activated again, and a little girl with blond hair appeared on the stone platform after the space fluctuated.
"Brother... brother?"
Erika, holding a bear doll in his hands and wearing cute pajamas, was obviously confused about the situation at this time and couldn't help but look left and right.
"What's going on? Dad told Erika to sleep well, and Erika obviously obeyed. And... what's going on with sister Miyu's dress? This is the first time Erika has seen me. There are two big brothers over there who look exactly the same, so many people... are they all friends that my brother found for me?"
"Tch!" Beatrice said with disdain, looking away from his unhappy face, "What kind of friends? They are all our enemies!"
"Shut up! Beatrice!"
Julian scolded, and then walked slowly towards Erika. There was not only indifference in the cold voice, but also a trace of warmth that could not be hidden.
"Erika, your companion and family have only been me from the beginning to the end. There is nothing else. People are born to perish, and the world is broken. There is no way out in the future. Because of this, I will definitely protect you. Enzworth's long-cherished wish can be fulfilled by you and me. Okay?"
Hearing this, Erika could no longer control the tears of emotion. After wiping the uncontrollable tears with his little hands, a bright and innocent smile filled his face again.
"Yeah! It doesn't matter if you don't have friends! Because Erika has an older brother here! So Erika will work hard! Brother!"
At this moment, a figure that surprised everyone stepped onto the stone platform.
"Ho? Protect the world? It's such an incredible long-cherished wish."
Seeing Red A who suddenly appeared holding his hands, Angelica and Beatrice also immediately protected Erika and Julian.
"Don't get me wrong, I am the guardian of mankind. Unlike them, I have my own judgment."
Saying that, Red A raised his hand, Projection started, and a Ruruby was also succeeded by Projection and was thrown towards Julian.
Seeing the uninvited Red A, who seemed to be surrendering, Julian frowned, but in the end he caught the Ruruby thrown by the other party.
"Stand back, Angelica, Beatrice."
Julian, who was holding Ruruby, stepped forward. Although he didn't know what the enemy Heroic Spirit in front of him was thinking or why he betrayed and surrendered, but regardless of whether he surrendered sincerely or not, he was welcome to come and work for free.
And... I'm not afraid of the other party's plot to trick me at all.
"Hehehe... your companion has betrayed you!"
Looking at Red A, whose contract was cut off by Julian using the projected Lulubreka, Beatrix also turned on the taunting mode towards the stunned people below.
"That guy... what on earth is he doing!"
Shirou is very angry. Although I don't know what the specific situation is, at this time, you jumped out and acted as a second-rate kid. Isn't this a little too much?
And...
Thinking about it, Shirou glanced at Luviya who was knocked down by this second-fifth kid not far away at some point, and became even more angry. This second-fifth kid actually attacked one of his own!
"No! Where is Tohsaka-classmate?"
Shirou, who noticed that one person was missing, also started looking around.
"Up there..."
Illya frowned and stared at the stone platform above. In this situation, even Illya did not expect that a second or fifth boy would appear on his side at this time.
On the stone platform.
"What's wrong with this woman?"
Julian glanced lightly at the struggling girl in red Tohsaka Rin who was tied up behind Red A and had a seal on her mouth.
"It's just a means to contain the enemy."
Red A replied calmly, then glanced at Shirou and others below, and continued softly, "These are not the only enemies. The real troublesome enemies have not yet appeared. And she is used to contain the most troublesome guy."
At the same time, Shinji, who was paying attention to the war situation in the cracks of the world, couldn't help but think secretly when he heard this.
After a few seconds, he finally couldn't help pointing to himself and asking Golden Flash and Young Golden Flash.
"Then what... is this the troublesome enemy this guy is talking about me?"
"Brother, you are really very self-aware."
Young Golden Flash's innocent and cute smile still failed to capture Shinji's heart. Then, Young Golden Flash looked at the light screen again.
"But then again, eldest brother lost, so he turned traitor after all."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Is there anything in his behavior that goes against Partner of Justice and his identity as the guardian of humanity? Rebellion? I didn't see it at all. Isn't his camp still on the side of the partners of justice? Is there any change?"
Hearing the sound, Young Golden Flash twitched his lips in embarrassment.
"Brother, you are cheating..."
"He neither betrayed his identity nor his true camp, so this is not a betrayal in any way. You lose."
Young Golden Flash did not refute again, but lowered his head and sighed. What the other party said was reasonable. This time he really jumped into the pit on his own initiative!
"But... it's really his style..."
Shinji sighed softly, Red A knew what he wanted to do at this time. Unlike the denial of his past self in UBW, this time, he wanted to personally force his past self to be the opposite of himself, which is justice!
He wants to use this almost opposite method to completely defeat Emiya Shirou in an upright and upright manner! You can probably guess even Shinji's line when he faced Shirou later.
Red A: You who have abandoned your ideals (justice) should die quickly!
Shirou (black question mark face):???
