Shirou Emiya doesn't want to work overtime

Although Archer is just a Servant, Hakuno Kishiba himself is not an orthodox magician. His attitude towards Servant is more like a partner in the fight than a familiar.

When facing the injured Archer, the first thing she thought of was not the impact of her Servant's damaged strength on the next battle, but her real concern for the Servant's injury.

"Just like facing the previous opponent, do what you are best at and organize the information you get, Master——"

Looking at Hakuno Kishiba who has calmed down, Archer couldn't help but smile knowingly, and sat on the chair again very arrogantly, and spoke to Hakuno Kishiba in front of him.

Even if you find the opponent's weakness from a book, it does not mean that you have the ability to use this weakness to defeat the enemy.

Just like after knowing the real name of Achilles, you know that hitting his heel can break the powerful blessing of immortality, but it is an extremely difficult thing to really do it.

They know their weaknesses more clearly than the information you get from searching for information.

They will also pay more attention to prevention.

Leo directly disclosed the real name of his Servant Gawain, and everyone understood Gawain's weakness.

But even so, Leo came to the fourth round of battle as an absolute winner.

At the cost of almost everything he had, Shirou Emiya barely broke Gawain's [Digital of the Saint].

"Sorted?"

Hakuno Kishiba nodded. After each battle with the enemy, she and Archer would analyze the enemy's real name and methods here.

"This time the opponent is Emiya-kun, and to some extent, your past, Archer."

"Archer, you are better than Emiya-kun in combat experience, but inferior to Emiya-kun in the quality of projected treasures."

"No, now I should add one more thing. In terms of archery, I haven't reached his level. Although I don't know the reason, I can feel that he has a teacher to teach him."

Listening to Hakuno Kishiba's analysis, Archer also supplemented it at the side.

Archer initially thought that Shirou Emiya's archery and sword skills were the same as his own, and they were all constantly figured out by himself.

Unexpectedly, Shirou Emiya actually had someone else to teach him archery.

He could even feel that the archery of the teacher who taught Shirou Emiya was at a very high level.

"At this stage, if we, Emiya-kun, fight, we must avoid the use of treasures and long-range conflicts."

"Because of the existence of the evil spirit, if the treasure is not used, such a small conflict will not cause effective damage at all, and even intelligence cannot be obtained."

Hakuno Kishinami kept analyzing.

Everything now is just as Archer said at the beginning. Because of the existence of the evil spirit, the originally clear situation has become so serious.

"If we want to force out more intelligence before the decisive battle, the use of treasures is inevitable!"

Hakuno Kishinami frowned and looked directly at Archer. The current situation is indeed very tricky, even more difficult than the enemies encountered before.

After all, the opponents in the previous battles were almost able to respond as long as their real names were known.

"Don't you save on the use of your Noble Phantasms?"

Archer couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard what Kishinami Hakuno said, and then he changed his mind. He had already expected that his final Noble Phantasm would have to be unfolded in the decisive battle.

After unfolding, the Noble Phantasms inside would be read and analyzed by Shirou Emiya, and finally become one of the Noble Phantasms that Shirou Emiya could project.

There wouldn't be too many disadvantages to hiding your Noble Phantasms before.

After all, Archer couldn't think of any Noble Phantasm that could easily kill Shirou Emiya with one blow.

As for Cu Chulainn's Gae Bolg.

When he saw Rin Tohsaka, he could feel the existence of that gun.

And Shirou Emiya defeated Rin Tohsaka, and naturally possessed this weapon.

It can even be said that Shirou Emiya survived directly from the hands of Cu Chulainn, the owner of this Noble Phantasm, and won the victory, so it's not surprising that he used this Noble Phantasm.

"Yes, it's just to see who can force out more information in the end."

Hakuno Kishinami nodded. They forced Shirou Emiya to use more Noble Phantasms, and Shirou Emiya was also forcing Archer to use more Noble Phantasms.

The two are relative, not to mention that for Archer and Shirou Emiya, the more Noble Phantasms they can project, the stronger they are.

"In other words, is the next battle strategy to continue to clash head-on with them?"

Looking at Hakuno Kishinami from the confusion of the first battle to being able to think of ways to deal with the enemy on his own, Archer couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Not just that."

Hakuno Kishinami nodded, and then shook his head.

"Archer, Emiya-kun is not a Servant."

"!"

Archer suddenly realized, because Shirou Emiya's performance in these two battles was too strong, which made Archer subconsciously ignore a fact.

Shirou Emiya is now a human body.

He can't be like a servant who can't sleep. As long as he has a supply of magic power and can fight tirelessly, his injuries can't be easily recovered.

Although under that Noble Phantasm, one can indeed recover quickly.

But this time there is no Knight King in the Holy Grail War.

"Emiya-kun, it must have cost a lot to defeat Leo. The last time we saw him, he was still in the health room with bandages tied around his body."

Kishinami Hakuno said with some regret, because at this point, Archer also understood the next battle strategy.

"Continuously engaging in high-intensity battles will not only force him to use more Noble Phantasms, but will also further worsen his physical condition."

Archer, already understood the next battle method.

He won't be stingy with his Noble Phantasm either.

High-intensity fighting, the intensity of the previous two conflicts was not high enough.

Chapter 655 Before the decisive battle

Time does not stand still or go back.

In just a blink of an eye, the day before the decisive battle came.

"Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang!!!!"

The sound of the collision of steel and steel came from inside the dark castle without any interruption.

A fierce battle broke out quickly and violently under the flickering light of the lights.

Two silver figures flew out of the air as if they had been hit by an extremely powerful collision, and then stood firmly on the ground one after another.

【1】

When the two separated, the numbers appeared in the eyes of everyone on the field.

The first round of conflict has ended.

"Bang——!"

However, there was no time for the rest of the people present to breathe.

In an instant, the floor shattered like a spider web.

That's the damage caused by a hard push.

"drink--!"

"ha--!"

Two almost identical figures rushed forward in the storm, rushing towards each other at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye.

"Zila zila——!"

In the process, scarlet lightning flashed.

“Bang bang bang bang—!”

During this process, red flames burned.

The two silver figures that turned into thunder and flames met in the blink of an eye like meteorites colliding with each other.

"Qiang——!"

Under the loud clashing sound, the knight's sword flashed with scarlet lightning, and a long sword with a very special shape burning with flames stirred up a terrible strong wind, which even shattered the ground beneath his feet.

"Tskttttttttttttttt!"

Amidst the crackling sound of the air, the scarlet knight's sword turned into violent slashes, striking out like lightning and thunder, overwhelming the sky and the earth.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Amidst the howling of the strong wind, the long sword as red as magma also turned into an afterimage, shrouding the front like a raging red flash like a violent wind and rain.

"Clang, clang, clang, clang!"

The next moment, the two swords' shoulders, both of which were red, collided countless times, causing crisp clashing sounds and waves of turbulent impact air waves.

The crimson arc burst out.

The hot flames exploded.

The two figures in the confrontation on the ground were fighting fiercely with extremely terrifying attacks.

Wherever the two of them went, they were shattered one after another.

Such an astonishing offensive and defensive battle that makes people have to devote themselves wholeheartedly to it has continued from the moment the two met until now.

"clang--!"

Following another fierce collision, Archer's figure was violently blown away by the storm-like shock wave in front of him, and his figure continued to slide back.

With the help of the magic power brought by the brilliant King Sword, Emiya Shirou's power was even stronger than Archer's.

However, at this moment, Archer didn't care at all that his hands were already numb, and a pitch black long bow appeared in his hands.

The pitch-black sword arrow was mounted on the bowstring by Archer in just an instant.

“Boohoo!”

The sword arrows that locked onto Shirou Emiya like a hunting dog pierced the air, and rained down like raindrops on Shirou Emiya who was holding the shining royal sword tightly.

"Zillazillazillazillazillazilla!"

Suddenly, the terrifying thunder surged rapidly, condensing into a substantial beam of light on the sword in Emiya Shirou's hand.

The terrifying magic power fluctuations made Kishibashi Shiro, who was standing in the distance, feel a little flutter.

Under the burst of light, the sword arrows that flew towards Shirou Emiya like a torrential rain were destroyed without leaving any trace.

Then, the beam of light surged again, shooting towards Archer who had just stabilized his body.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang————!"

Amidst the continuous explosions and under the burst of red light, everything in front of me quickly began to shatter, collapse, and disintegrate, and instantly became unrecognizable.

"call----!"

Archer, wearing broken silver armor, flashed out of the terrifying crimson beam and quickly stabilized his figure.

It is not that Archer took the blow from the Brilliant Sword of the King, but that the blow did not reach the level of the Noble Phantasm that should be released.

In such a short time, with Shirou Emiya's current physical condition, he could not immediately pour a large amount of magic power into the Brilliant Sword of the King and expand it to the maximum extent through amplification.

This is simply to release the magic power that he poured into it through the amplification effect brought by the Brilliant Sword of the King. The power is just enough to destroy the projected Akabane Hound.

No matter how many times it is shot down, the Akabane Hound, which has already smelled the scent, will pursue it endlessly.

So instead of shooting it down, destroying it can also prevent these sword arrows from hitting its target.

Otherwise, even with the protection of the evil spirit, Archer would not be able to dodge so easily.

[2]

The second round ends here.

In front of him, under the explosion of the red beam, everything around him was destroyed, and billowing smoke continued to rise, blocking his vision.

"Swish!"

Only a sound of breaking through the air could be heard, and Shirou Emiya, with red lightning flashing all over his body, tore through the thick fog, like a flash of lightning, and rushed forward fiercely, appearing in front of Archer in the blink of an eye.

However, at this time, Archer's mouth slightly smiled, and the silver armor covered his whole body again.
