Chapter 752
Leave this to me, I'll deliver the final blow...
"----no!!!!"
"Illya?"
Illyasviel?
Shirou Miyu turned around at the same time and saw Illya curled up on the ground, trembling, looking rather strange.
"No... that won't do... my brother will be killed, I don't want that... absolutely not..."
"Calm down, Illyasviel!"
Miyu grabbed her shoulders and shouted, but the girl's eyes were empty.
"We can't let my brother fight that anymore... he'll be killed."
I'm so scared... I don't want to lose my brother... No...
"..."
Shirou wanted to stroke Illya's hair to comfort her as usual, but there was no time; Saber was walking towards them.
"Miyu, Illya is in your hands now."
"Ah, um!"
Shirou entrusted Illya to Miyu, then charged towards the Black Knight, beginning a direct confrontation.
Saber's performance has indeed declined, but even so, her power and magic are still superior to Shirou's.
However, speed is already Shirou's advantage.
The red-haired boy unleashed a series of attacks with the Projection twin swords, which the black knight could barely defend against.
After her black armor was shattered, she probably couldn't just recklessly take all the attacks.
The once invincible Saber has completely lost her initial power.
Shirou's sword dance was dazzling, forcing the black knight's attacks back time and time again.
"Wow, Mr. Shirou, you're amazing!"
"... that Saber's attack was also blocked."
"Illyasviel, look! Brother... Mr. Shirou has the upper hand!"
Miyu held Illya's shoulder, trying to comfort her.
"Elder brother..."
The girl stared wide-eyed, her gaze fixed on the superhuman battle.
The attack and defense between Shirou and Saber created a shockwave that blew away the surrounding earth, making it impossible for anyone to even get close.
Shirou has the advantage in the number of attacks, while King Arthur has the advantage in the power of a single strike.
The enemy Shirou faces now is the legendary Heroic Spirit of the Age of Gods, King Arthur.
The most famous Holy Sword Wielder in the world, the Red Dragon of Britain.
However, Shirou, armed only with a pair of unknown twin swords, fought such a formidable enemy head-on and they were evenly matched.
"Elder brother..."
Illya held her breath, watching the final duel.
Saber began to be gradually suppressed; she couldn't keep up with Shirou's movements.
Shirou gained the upper hand with accurate combos and swift movements.
"Ah!"
"It's under control!"
Finally, Shirou's attack broke through the enemy's defenses and slashed open her shoulder.
Seizing the opportunity, Shirou continued his relentless attack, sending the Black Knight flying.
However, Saber suddenly unleashed her magic the moment she was forced to retreat.
This ominous magical power, like the Evil Dragon's Breath, was something the Magical Girl had already experienced firsthand and were intimately familiar with.
"Oh no... Mr. Shirou! She's about to use her Noble Phantasm! Watch out!"
Shirou calmly maintained his distance from the enemy, seemingly having no intention of rushing forward to stop them from unleashing their Noble Phantasm.
Are there any means of resistance?
The time-stopping limit should have been used up just now...
Just as Miyu was thinking this...
Shirou deactivated the Projection of the "Blades of Chaos".
"Projection, begin (Trace On)...!!"
With Shirou's incantation, a new weapon was created—
It was Golden Sword that shone brightly even in the darkest of nights.
"Sapphire, that couldn't be...?"
"Ah, no doubt about it. Shirou, you actually copied the enemy's Excalibur... Unbelievable."
That's right. If you can't think of a way to counter Excalibur's Noble Phantasm, then you should just use Excalibur yourself.
Shirou gripped the Golden Holy Sword with both hands, panting heavily.
The burden of Projection Divine Constructs is far heavier than imagined.
"Haa... haa... haa...!"
He stared intently at the merciless black knight.
Unknown information flooded into my mind.
That was the Black Knight's combat experience, and also information about her Servant.
Artoria... is that your name?
Shirou felt an overwhelming sadness for no apparent reason.
But there was no time to grieve for Saber's experience; Shirou prepared to unleash his Noble Phantasm.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the Black Knight had also gotten into position.
Come, I will free you, Artoria!
"Excalibur" ---!!
"Excalibur" ---!!
Shirou and Saber unleashed the Holy Sword almost simultaneously.
The pitch-black aurora and the golden starlight simultaneously transformed into a torrent of power, colliding together.
The two forces were locked in a stalemate, maintaining a balance for several seconds, and then--
In the end, Shirou's side gained the upper hand.
The light of the black holy sword was suppressed, and the golden holy sword pierced through the enemy's body.
In that instant, a massive explosion occurred where Saber was, and the shockwave blew Shirou away.
"Mr. Shirou!!"
Miyu quickly ran to the spot where Shirou had fallen and came to his side.
"Wait... don't worry about me, quickly check, has Saber been defeated?"
"Yes, they've been defeated!"
Miyu nodded and looked towards the epicenter of the explosion where Saber was, where a card was floating silently.
"Call..."
Hearing Miyu say that, Shirou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Consciousness gradually faded.
"Oh, right, Illya..."
We must first check on Illya's condition; she seemed very strange just now.
Shirou struggled to get up, but he couldn't stand up at all; he couldn't even move a finger.
So he turned his head to look for his sister's figure--
"Elder brother!!!"
Illya rushed forward, bent down, and hugged Shirou tightly.
"Brother... brother... waa..."
The girl didn't say a word, she just kept hugging her brother and crying.
"Illya."
Shirou stroked Illya's head.
"That's wonderful... that's really wonderful... Mr Shirou..."
Miyu, perhaps moved by Illya's appearance, also covered her mouth and shed tears.
Shirou looked at them and sighed helplessly, "Really, even Miyu..."
"But... but... Mr Shirou..."
Miyu cupped her face in her hands, her shoulders trembling even more violently.
No matter how precocious someone is, they're still just a primary school student...
Shirou reached out his free hand and stroked Miyu's hair.
And so, amidst Illya Miyu's sobs, he gradually lost consciousness.
"Honestly, you're being reckless, Amamiya-kun. With those injuries, you still managed to defeat the strongest Saber."
"That's true. But well done... I'm impressed with you again, Shirou."
When Shirou woke up again, he found himself back in the real world, lying on the bank of the Miyou River.
Rin Tohsaka and Luvia Zelitt were taking good care of herself, one on each side.
"... Are your injuries all healed?" Shirou asked.
Rin: "Thanks to you, we're unharmed. Let's be quiet for a moment; we've already used healing Magecraft for emergency treatment."
Luvia: "That being said, neither Rin Tohsaka nor I are very good at healing Magecraft, so let's be careful. If we move around too much, the wounds might reopen, you know?"
"Where are Illya Miyu?" Shirou asked again.
"I knew this would be the first thing you'd care about when you wake up."
Rin Tohsaka rolled her eyes unhappily. "They're fine, so leave them to Ruby and Sapphire."
Illya Miyu were receiving treatment from the Kaleidoscope Wand not far away.
After confirming that they were alright, Shirou looked at the two beside him and said, "Sorry, Tohsaka, Luvia."
"What's wrong? It's nothing serious, is it?"
"Yes, Shirou is our savior."
Luvia pressed her fingertips, wrapped in silk gloves, against her full breasts:
"In fact, the current situation doesn't reflect Edelfelt's sincerity at all."
Shirou, why don't you just move into my house tonight? I'll treat you well and personally take care of you since you're injured.
"Huh? What are you saying all of a sudden, woman! How could I possibly leave Amamiya -san with you!"
Rin Tohsaka reacted strongly for some reason.
