Shirou Emiya doesn't want to work overtime

Looking at the Akabara Hound that had locked onto him and was constantly flying towards him, Archer made a helpless sound in his heart.

Only he knows himself best.

Archer knew very well that as long as he projected a Noble Phantasm in front of Shirou Emiya, he would be able to project it out to deal with him with just a glance.

It can even be said that the Noble Phantasm projected was of a higher grade than the one he projected.

Archer said that he didn't want to use too many Noble Phantasms in front of Shirou Emiya.

So in the battle, he always deliberately restrained the use of his Noble Phantasms.

If he really had to use them, most of them were weapons that Shirou Emiya could project.

Otherwise, Archer would only use them against Shirou Emiya at the right time when he could kill with one strike.

Kill Shirou Emiya before he could finish the analysis and project.

Shirou Emiya didn't have this kind of precautions at the beginning, and Archer analyzed that he was haunted by evil spirits.

Now it is difficult for the two to hurt each other without using Noble Phantasms with large-scale destruction.

Although a big reason is that Shirou Emiya doesn't know Archer at all, while Archer knows Shirou Emiya very well.

This is the gap in intelligence.

But now, if Shirou Emiya doesn't get rid of Archer here, he will be able to project [Small World Surrounding the Sky] in the next battle, which will make the battle more difficult.

Although the [Small World Surrounding the Sky] used by Archer should not have the strong defense of Shirou Emiya, it is enough to make Shirou Emiya feel difficult.

Those Akabara hounds flying towards Archer, as their name suggests, track Archer's scent, keep flying around him, and shoot violently again and again.

Even if it doesn't hit, it will bite the opponent tightly.

This is a very handy treasure that Archer transformed himself for shooting, and it is also a treasure that he feels very difficult now.

But, tracking the scent——

“Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!!!!!!!!!”

The next moment, the chasing Akhara hounds seemed to have lost their target and lost their power, hitting the wall in front of them heavily, making a violent bombing sound.

At this time, Shirou Emiya could no longer see or feel Archer's voice.

“Did you eliminate the aura?”

Shirou Emiya's figure also slowly disappeared from the spot.

Being haunted by evil spirits, it can prevent Esdeath, who is extremely sensitive to the surrounding environment, from finding its traces. It can do more than just invisibility, it can also eliminate its own aura.

Of course, it is definitely not as good as Assassin's A+ level of aura concealment.

Basically, as long as you show murderous intent and hostility, you will be easily discovered.

It is not like many Assassins, who only show their figures when they attack.

The Akhara hounds shot by Archer before were also dodged by Shirou Emiya in the same way.

As for why Shirou Emiya also chose to hide his figure.

That was naturally because Shirou Emiya felt that if he showed himself, Archer would not retreat so easily. He might be ready to shoot arrows in the dark at any time with the ability to conceal his breath.

But if he was also invisible, Archer would have to retreat.

Because in this area, Archer's master, Hakuno Kishiba, could be here.

It could have waited for an opportunity without showing itself, but Hakuno Kishiba did not have this ability. He would be directly exposed to Shirou Emiya's eyes.

Chapter 653 The Soul That Cannot Persist

Under the cover of night, the entire Tsukimihara Academy was filled with silence, and the earth had fallen into a deep sleep at this time.

There was no trace of student activities in the corridor.

Except for the gentle breeze blowing in gusts.

Except for the occasional barking of a dog, the cold and quiet academy was silent.

The sky was dotted with glittering stars, and the Milky Way, like fine sand, lay diagonally on the blue sky.

A faint light slowly fell from the bedside, illuminating the originally dark health room.

"Ha--!"

A breath sounded from a certain bed.

"Senior, are you awake again?"

Sitting beside the bed, Matou Sakura looked at Shirou Emiya, who suddenly opened his eyes while lying on the bed, with a very worried look.

"Sorry for the trouble, Sakura."

When Shirou Emiya woke up again, the familiar pain swept through his body again.

His body was like being burned by fire at this time, the temperature of the body surface was constantly rising, and sweat was constantly pouring out of his body.

Shirou Emiya, lying on the bed, frowned deeply.

Now his physical condition is getting worse and worse.

Pain.

Weakness.

Weakness.

Fatigue.

All of this continued to burst out from the depths of Shirou Emiya's soul, causing Shirou Emiya to sigh.

"It's okay, Senior, my duty is to manage the health of the Masters, this is what I should do."

Saying this, Matou Sakura asked Shirou Emiya to sit up and slowly removed the bandages tied to his body.

Thick voices kept coming from Emiya Shirou.

Under the moonlight, it could be clearly seen that the shocking wounds on Emiya Shirou's body were still seeping with blood, and the bandages untied by Matou Sakura, one after another, were soaked in scarlet.

With an extremely heartbroken expression, she took out the towel soaked in warm water, wrung it out and carefully wiped her body.

"How long can I hold on?"

Feeling Matou Sakura's wipe, Emiya Shirou looked at his already broken body and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Even if Emiya Shirou really didn't care about the condition of his soul, he couldn't continue to bear such a gradually increasing price.

There is a limit to the price that the soul can bear, and Emiya Shirou cannot continue to overdraw forever.

"How many times have you woken up at night in the past few days, and has your health gotten worse?"

Hearing this voice, Emiya Shirou was slightly startled, and then looked towards the source of the sound.

On another hospital bed not far from Emiya Shirou, Tohsaka Rin, lying under the quilt, rubbed his eyes and looked over slightly sleepily.

"yes----"

Emiya Shirou could only nod helplessly at this time.

Living in the infirmary was not Shirou Emiya's idea.

There are only two people who know how bad Emiya Shirou's current physical condition is.

Matou Sakura and Tohsaka Rin.

Sakura Matou was originally the high-level AI responsible for examining Shirou Emiya's body, so she naturally knew the exact condition of Shirou Emiya's body most accurately.

As for Tohsaka Rin, she got the report on Emiya Shirou's physical condition from Matou Sakura very simply and crudely.

Matou Sakura is only a high-level AI, so it is naturally impossible for her to propose to Emiya Shirou the idea of ​​living in the health room.

Tohsaka Rin was the only one who could do such a thing and get Emiya Shirou to agree.

"With your current physical condition, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive until the end of this Holy Grail War."

With a somewhat heavy tone, Tohsaka Rin looked directly into Emiya Shirou's eyes under the light moonlight.

"But, there is no other way, right?"

Enduring the severe pain radiating from his body, Emiya Shirou didn't know what to say.

Apart from continuing to walk towards the Holy Grail, Emiya Shirou could not think of any other way.

The existence of Avalon should allow Emiya Shirou to directly ignore Mooncell's deletion mechanism.

But its existing magic power is running low, and it no longer has the powerful effect it once had.

At the beginning, after every battle, the injuries on the body were basically recovered the next day, and all the deletion programs attached to the body were dispelled.

But now, so much time has passed, and those shocking wounds have not moved towards a good trend, and the deletion procedures that exist in various parts of the body still exist.

If he enters that deleted world again, he will never have a chance to survive.

However, there is a greater possibility that he will be directly defeated by Kishinami Hakuno.

If at the beginning, Shirou Emiya didn't care about anything and did not participate in the Holy Grail War, with Avalon's ability, it is almost certain that Mooncell's deletion program would be helpless against Shirou Emiya. .

He will survive like Ginako.

Just saying, even if you give Emiya Shirou a chance, let him make a choice.

He would still choose to participate without hesitation.

Emiya Shirou wanted to save everyone involved in this Holy Grail War, but he couldn't.

He can only try his best to save the people he can save.

"Having said that, Emiya-kun himself can be called a miracle. I believe that Emiya-kun can achieve that goal——!"

Calm and elegant words came from the hospital bed on the other side of Tohsaka Rin.

At some point, Leo also woke up and intervened in the conversation between Emiya Shirou and Tohsaka Rin.

Leo is not like Rin Tosaka, but like Shirou Emiya, he is a real patient in this health room.

Now I can only barely walk.

Otherwise he wouldn't be here.

The cause of the injury that Leo has not yet recovered from is not the deletion program attached to his body, but the mental world that Emiya Shirou detonated previously.

"I know, but we still need to be prepared. We cannot leave everything to miracles, and miracles will not always bless a person."

Tohsaka Rin did not look back, but looked at Emiya Shirou and sighed.

Miracles cannot be triggered just by wanting to trigger them. At least in Tohsaka Rin's view, the occurrence of miracles is the inevitable result of various factors.

"Hey hey hey hey hey hey!!!!!!"

At this moment, extremely weird laughter came from the opposite side, breaking the silent atmosphere.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on a certain orange-haired woman sitting on the bed opposite.

"I was just staying up late playing games! I didn't do anything else! Why are you looking at me? You guys are discussing yours!"

As if she felt the gazes coming from around her, Gina, who was sitting on the opposite bed playing computer games, looked at them with a puzzled look.

Chapter 654: Ways to deal with Emiya Shirou

"Archer, are you okay now?"

Back in the room, Hakuno Kishiba asked Archer with some concern.

She believed that her Servant would not be defeated so easily, and was also concerned about her Servant's injuries.

"It's nothing serious, but the opponent's situation may be more difficult than I thought."

Archer shook his head slightly, indicating that he was fine.

It just looked like he had suffered a lot of damage, and his clothes were almost destroyed.

But in fact, the damage he suffered was not much, most of it was absorbed by the Seven Rings of Blazing Sky (Rho Aias) and the evil spirit.

What's more, he also accepted the treatment of Hakuno Kishiba's computer technique, and his injuries were almost recovered.

Hearing Archer's words, Hakuno Kishiba's expression also became relaxed.
