Chapter 870

He jumped backward the same distance Lancelot sprinted.

As a result, Lancelot's sword sliced through the air, and the distance between Shirou and Lancelot barely changed.

"...!"

"It was incredibly fast and accurate. That strike pierced my heart. It tore through muscle, ripped out my internal organs, but it still didn't stop."

It shattered my bones, but it didn't stop. It pierced through my body, and my upper and lower body were separated forever—it was just that one blow.

Shirou said, stroking his undamaged abdomen.

That was where Lancelot's sword should have pierced through.

"If I hadn't heard the rumors about you, I might have experienced that excruciating pain, and I might have ended up like that."

"You really don't mean what you say."

No, it's true you'll be here soon, isn't it?

"That's right, I'll be quick."

Faster than anyone else--

The Dragon Heart speaks: Only I can keep up with your pace.

"... What are those two idiots doing?"

The Fae Queen sighed silently.

That was a sight that suddenly appeared in the sky above Camelot.

The scene made one doubt their own eyes.

High in the distant heavens, two people frolic at supersonic speeds.

Ignore inertia and move freely.

A scene beyond the human realm.

Morgan also noticed the anomaly in the sky and was puzzled.

Lancelot, what are you doing!?

Twice the speed of sound.

Then it's tripled.

Once it reaches several times the speed of sound, the scenery changes.

The world became like an abstract painting filled with various monochrome colors, a monotonous landscape.

The subtle transition disappeared.

An object changes from three-dimensional to two-dimensional.

Various shapes began to mix together like a liquid.

Gradually, they transcended that realm.

Therefore, the rate of expansion approaches a standstill.

Next, a world of silence.

A world where light struggles to function properly.

In a static world, only you can move normally.

When I move around normally, the things I touch will break.

This is what a world of incredible speed is all about.

Lancelot is a being who lives in that world.

At least in battle, she lived in that world.

Without the ability to disregard inertia, one would be propelled out of the universe within seconds.

However, in that world, there is only one.

Now, only one person is a foreign object.

A human named Shirou.

Humans from beyond this world.

Humans from the distant past.

In Lancelot's eyes, where shapes and colors had become indistinguishable, he possessed only one distinct shape and color.

His figure remained in front of Lancelot the entire time.

Why?

Why can't we catch up?

I'm clearly... clearly stronger than before!

The answer is simple.

Because Shirou is stronger than before.

Wow, that's fast, but... I can still catch up!

The girl thought to herself as she reached out her hand.

The distance has been shortened.

The sword's edge drew near Shirou's eyes.

And so, he disappeared.

No, it didn't disappear.

Shirou accelerated again.

"Time Control: Dodecuple Accel - Dodecahedron"

This is the absolute limit he can reach without physical harm.

Even Shirou is just a human being with some degree of physical strength.

Even celestial bodies with masses trillions of times greater than that of humans will gradually become spherical due to their own weight, let alone humans.

If he accelerates any further, he probably won't be able to maintain his human form.

This gave Lancelot a glimmer of hope.

It's not over yet; we can still catch up.

The dragon fairy also sped up.

My body is hot.

The inside gets hot.

All the cells that formed it turned into boiling magma.

My head is spinning.

I can't breathe.

Even thinking has become ambiguous.

Even so, we can still catch up.

Shirou smiled.

--It should be alright, right?

Those twilight-colored eyes were calling out.

Lancelot said in broken sentences, "Ah, I can still go on."

This is her answer.

The message has been conveyed.

With each conversation, Shirou's smile deepened.

Every time I see him like this--

"I can continue, "Lancelot would think.

That's not how my brain thinks.

That wasn't thinking, it was feeling.

That's what the body says.

That's what Lancelot's entire existence has to say.

However, the distance cannot be shortened.

Can't catch up--

This is both a fact and a reality.

Soon after, the world lost its color.

Soon after, the world became invisible.

It transformed into a vast, pure white space.

Or perhaps, it was a pitch-black space.

Even so, the being before me named Shirou still retains its color and form.

Only he and Lancelot existed in that world.

It's alright, I can continue.

My heart is racing, and my body is screaming in pain.

No, is that cheering?

The girl was completely confused.

I can't think; thinking only gets in the way.

Why do I want to catch up with Shirou?

Why can't I catch up with Shirou?

What did I eat this morning?

Did Aurora give any instructions...?

How is Percival doing...?

Gawain is so cute today, like a big dog...

Why am I in such a good mood right now?

Even my memories are becoming blurry.

However, the joy emanating from within my body was incessant.

Every cell in my body was excited and overjoyed.

Lancelot's "everything" was heading in that direction.

How wonderful it is to be in this world.

Although I haven't experienced it, reproductive behavior... sexual climax is probably nothing more than this.

There's nothing in this world except for me and Shirou.

In other words, Shirou and I are experiencing orgasm... Is that right?
