In the vast space at the very bottom of the Hanging Gardens.
Two figures continuously crisscrossed, striking, and fighting.
Swords infused with magical energy continuously clashed, and the slashes they wielded continuously
destroyed the surrounding structures.
"My long-cherished wish, my ideal, my everything are all in this moment!"
Continuously wielding his katana, Shirou Amakusa Tokisada at this moment had burned through everything.
In his eyes, Shirou Emiya seemed to see his entire being.
"I won't say you are wrong again, for that would be belittling you!"
Blocking Shirou Amakusa Tokisada's sword, Shirou Emiya said seriously: "Now, I just want to defeat you and win the Holy Grail War!"
With that, Shirou Emiya's sword began to ignite with flames.
The fierce flames seemed to ignite the surrounding air, which suddenly grew hot.
"Ah, this is good! This is good!"
"My wish has been realized, and is about to be completed!"
Facing Shirou Emiya's pressure in all aspects, Shirou Amakusa Tokisada's only advantage at this moment was his magical energy.
Continuously using reinforcement magic, Shirou Amakusa Tokisada had no intention of conserving magical energy at this point.
Through the virtually inexhaustible magical energy of the Greater Grail, Shirou Amakusa Tokisada
continuously strengthened himself.
"Tsk!"
Looking at Shirou Amakusa Tokisada squandering magical energy, Shirou Emiya clicked his tongue in displeasure.
After all, he currently didn't have much extra magical energy.
Every ounce of his magical energy had to be used precisely.
Although he had recovered some magical energy earlier through mental energy potions, it was still a drop in the bucket.
After all, he was no longer a magical energy user of the mental energy system.
Moreover, he couldn't carry many potions with him; most of his reserves were in Millennia Fortress.
Therefore, Shirou Emiya was undoubtedly extremely short on magical energy at this moment.
"How helpless!"
"I exhausted my magical energy with Karna, and my stamina with Achilles. I'm undoubtedly in my worst state right now!"
"But!"
"As a certain loli-con said, just because I've gotten weaker doesn't mean you've gotten stronger!"
Wielding a greatsword blazing with fierce flames, Shirou Emiya directly struck Shirou Amakusa Tokisada, sending him flying.
Facing this overwhelming blow, even though Shirou Amakusa Tokisada blocked Shirou Emiya's sword, he was still sent flying.
And this was the crushing force of strength!
Looking at Shirou Amakusa Tokisada, who slid a long way on the ground but quickly adjusted his posture, Shirou Emiya took the opportunity to pursue.
He heavily stomped his foot, then quickly appeared in front of Shirou Amakusa Tokisada.
"So fast!"
Shirou Amakusa Tokisada's pupils constricted. Facing the incoming thrust, he could only barely parry it with his sword, but he couldn't block the terrifying force coming from the other side of the sword.
________________________________________
"Is this an extraordinary Servant?"
Shirou Amakusa Tokisada, who was sent flying again, was directly slammed into a stone pillar.
Crushed by this impact, he fell from the stone pillar, continuously spitting blood.
Only then did Shirou Amakusa Tokisada clearly realize how vast the gap was between himself and an
extraordinary Servant.
Although he had known before that he would die against Karna and Achilles.
But the specific difference was unclear.
And at this moment, he finally understood!
"I never thought I would face such a monster. Is this God's punishment for me?"
"I've achieved my wish, but I can't witness it with my own eyes!"
Tremblingly standing up, Shirou Amakusa Tokisada's mouth continuously spilled blood.
Even if he still had combat power, he was pessimistic about his outcome.
After all, how could one not be pessimistic when facing such a monster!
"But, I haven't failed, Guardian!"
"The Greater Grail can no longer be stopped!"
"Even if I die, the salvation of all humanity will be completed!"
"Master!"
Semiramis shouted loudly, looking at Shirou Amakusa Tokisada, who had nowhere left to go.
At this moment, she didn't want to be entangled with Joan of Arc and the others at all.
She just wanted to rush to Shirou Amakusa Tokisada's side to protect him.
"Get lost, you annoying bugs!"
"I won't let you disturb Shirou's battle!"
"I'll kill you!"
...
Shirou Emiya didn't know about the battle situation involving Semiramis and the other two, but even if he did, he wouldn't care.
Because at this moment, he only wanted to end the enemy's life.
Looking at the Greater Grail, which was gradually brightening behind Shirou Amakusa Tokisada, Shirou Emiya pointed the tip of his sword at Shirou Amakusa Tokisada, then swiftly charged forward. "This is the end, Shirou Amakusa Tokisada!"
"I! Will never surrender!"
Facing Shirou Emiya's slash, Shirou Amakusa Tokisada also brandished his katana.
But after only a moment of collision, his stance was
broken by Shirou Emiya.
Facing Shirou Amakusa Tokisada, who could no longer maintain his posture, Shirou Emiya aimed his sword at Shirou Amakusa Tokisada's heart and swiftly thrust forward.
"Master!"
And at this moment, Semiramis's figure suddenly appeared in front of Shirou Emiya.
Facing Shirou Emiya's killing blow, she instantly teleported and stood in front of Shirou Amakusa Tokisada.
"Puchi!"
With a sound of piercing flesh, Shirou Emiya's sword directly pierced through Semiramis's Spirit Core and Shirou Amakusa Tokisada's heart.
"Semiramis!"
"Ah, it's me!"
Looking at the two pierced figures in front of him, Shirou Emiya suddenly fell silent.
He understood that Shirou Amakusa Tokisada and Semiramis were about to die!
So, he directly released his grip on the sword, stepped back a few paces, and then slowly said: "The final victor is me!"
Looking at Shirou Emiya, Semiramis directly embraced Shirou Amakusa Tokisada and disappeared from here via spatial transfer.
"I hope you two can say your goodbyes properly!"
Shirou Emiya didn't immediately pull out his sword, which could prolong Shirou Amakusa Tokisada's death.
This way, the two of them would still have time for their final farewell.
After all, in his previous life, Shirou Emiya quite liked this couple.
But unfortunately, they were now enemies.
Allowing them time for a final confession should be his last act of kindness towards them!
...
"Shirou!"
Seeing Semiramis's escaping figure, Joan of Arc and the others quickly approached.
"What should we do next, Shirou! Should we directly destroy the Greater Grail?"
"No, directly destroying the Greater Grail would be too wasteful."
"Wasteful?"
Looking at Shirou Emiya, Joan of Arc asked with confusion.
"Exactly, wasteful! Although Shirou Amakusa Tokisada's wish can no longer be stopped, it still needs some time to activate."
"In fact, his method was originally meant to be completed slowly over time."
"After all, the Greater Grail cannot instantly transform all humans worldwide into soul bodies; doing so would require an immense amount of magical energy."
"So Shirou Amakusa Tokisada's method is to move the Hanging Gardens across the world, transforming people along the way into soul bodies through the continuously functioning Greater Grail."
"And there's already no one here! So we don't need to rush at all!"
"Then what are you planning to do, Shirou?"
Seeing that there was no rush, Joan of Arc's previously tense heart gradually relaxed.
"Me?"
Looking at the Greater Grail, Shirou Emiya smiled and said: "Let's fulfill our own wishes first!"
