I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Why! Why! Why!

Why! ! !

Four consecutive questions about why made Shen Er feel an indescribable feeling in his heart.

That kind of persistence, that kind of devotion that is almost equivalent to life, not only temporarily suppressed the "black hand"'s assimilation magic power and weakened the energy, but also gave the young man unparalleled pressure.

At that moment, the young man could no longer answer, ridicule, or amuse her with the same joking, playful, teasing, and cheerful attitude as before.

Have you gone too far in the past? He clearly knew that she was a tsundere who was not candid, yet he still provoked her again and again.

The moment he met those persistent, even tearful eyes, Shinji swallowed the answer that was on his lips.

Why? --what why?

Why can you still block it? ——Because I am strong enough.

Why is the gap so big? ——Because what I have experienced is beyond your imagination.

Why can't I reach you even though I try so hard? ——Because this young master is a time traveler, so he cheated!

It's nothing to say this kind of thing normally. At most, it will make Rin go crazy, make her hair explode, and get an anti-gravity twintail.

But if she said it now, I'm afraid it would leave her with scars that would last her whole life, and more seriously, it might even affect her future.

He obviously has such outstanding talent and works so hard to reach a height that would take longer for him to reach in the parallel world. It would be a sin if it were destroyed by his own hands.

With a long sigh, the black curse wrapped around his right arm slowly faded away. He gently touched the girl's forehead with his right hand and responded with a sincere voice: "You have already touched me."

The next second, a cloud of blood mist suddenly exploded from Shen Er's back. Immediately afterwards, blood flew outward like a fountain.

Seeing this scene, Rin exhaled a breath of relief and confusion. His whole body lost all its strength like a rubber band that was stretched to the limit and suddenly broke, and fell to the ground softly.

Ignoring his injuries, Shenji took two steps forward and supported the unconscious girl, letting her lean on his chest in a relatively less uncomfortable position.

He didn't lie, nor did he show any so-called "condescending" pity.

The "touch" in the words and the injuries behind them are all real, and they were all earned by Tohsaka Rin's own efforts.

The final blow not only contained Rin's painstaking calculations, but also used three different applications of "Second Magic".

What disappeared from Shinji's eyes was "space transfer".

The next one-sword transformation is a "multi-dimensional twist".

What finally injured Shinji and caused blood to surge from his back was the most basic effect of the gem sword, which extracted the magic power of the parallel world to the maximum extent, restrained it, and exploded.

That was the most powerful blow that Rin had hit since the beginning of the war. Not only did it penetrate Shinji's "King Kong Left Arm", but it also failed to block the "Third Magic" that was secretly activated to strengthen the body, and directly penetrated him. The entire left arm.

Without the reinforcement of the "Third Magic", how could he have avoided the almost infinite non-stop bombardment of the Jewel Sword again and again, and how could he have deflected Rin's killing blow with his back turned.

That's the trump card that Shinji has been hiding to deal with Scathach. If he can force him to this point, doesn't it count as touching?

"Rin, you are really outstanding. I am impressed by you. It was my fault for underestimating you before, and I apologize."

At this time, a familiar voice sounded in the sky.

"Then I can leave with peace of mind."

It's Gilgamesh.

Looking up, I found that the proudest man in history had become so miserable for the first time.

The signature golden armor was missing, the shirt underneath was in tatters, and blood was covering his body, leaking out along with the fragments of the spirit child. If it were an ordinary servant, he would probably be dead long ago. The reason why he is still alive is because he keeps pouring potion into his mouth to support the collapsed spirit base.

"Where is Master? How is he?" Shenji asked quickly.

He was a little panicked. These two are known to be omnipotent beings. It is not surprising that the fight lasted for several days and nights. How could it end so quickly?

"I'm here."

The voice was as intellectual and calm as ever, but this time, Shinji heard a different weakness in it.

According to the sound, it is indeed the case.

There were not as many wounds on Scathach's body as Gilgamesh's. There was only one hole in his chest and abdomen, the size of his head. But because there was no blood, it didn't look that miserable.

But this is only temporary. Shenji, who is very familiar with her master, can tell at a glance that she used "fight continuation" to hold her last breath.

"Master!" Shenji instinctively mobilized his magic power, and the blue soul light spread outward like a tide. This was a sign that the "Third Magic" was fully exerted.

Although he didn't know whether the "Third Magic" he mastered could save Scathach's spiritual foundation that was about to collapse, he didn't want to give up. He didn't want the scene from ten years ago to repeat itself and watch his master "pass away" before his eyes again. As long as there is a chance, he will try his best.

However, Scathach stopped him, just as he had ten years ago.

"Don't worry about me, heal yourself first."

"Master, are you yourself again—"

"No, I didn't give up this time. The King of Heroes and I tried our best and finally got this result."

"That's it, boy." Gilgamesh responded, "I and your teacher do have other considerations, but this duel is not fake. To say more about it would be an insult to me and your teacher."

"What's the result?" Shenji asked.

"A draw is the most likely outcome as expected." Gilgamesh said calmly. He completely accepted this ending without any dissatisfaction.

The same goes for Scathach: "The reason why we held on and didn't leave is because we want to see the outcome between you and finally explain a few things."

"Go on, I'm listening." Shenji sniffed, suppressing the bad emotions in his heart and listening to the last words of the two people.

"Take this." Gilgamesh threw two crystal bottles casually, "This is the magic medicine of India. One bottle is for Rin to drink. You can keep the other bottle for yourself. You can drink it or not."

"Me too?" Shenji asked while giving Rin the medicine.

"Don't get me wrong, Joker. As for the King of Knights, I have no intention of letting you go. However, this series of plans was proposed by me, and I personally caused the current situation. I naturally have to take responsibility. As a So do you, the facilitators and beneficiaries.”

Gilgamesh nodded proudly. Although he was seriously injured and on the verge of dissipation, his pride and spirit have not diminished at all.

He is worthy of the name of the King of Heroes and worthy of the praise of the oldest epic.
