Chapter 528

["The only ones I know who won't use the Holy Grail for personal desire are Rin and you. Therefore, we must win so that the disaster won't continue to expand."]

["So—only by sacrificing the residents of this small town can we be helped. As a result, it suppresses the expansion of damage, so it's the same as your policy."]

[The former self didn't want to do this and denied such an approach, but what was the use of the result? Cruel reality would force oneself to do such things.]

[Denying Kiritsugu, understanding Kiritsugu, becoming Kiritsugu—this is reality, and this is the experience and lesson Archer has gained from working for countless years.]

[The Archer of today is no longer the hot-blooded young man he once was; sympathy, anger, and lamentation have all disappeared, leaving only absolute rational logical thinking.]

[Now, he is just a numb and ruthless working machine for the Counter Force.]

[And his words naturally couldn't be agreed with by Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya, who also felt a bit strange inside.]

[Because the words Archer said before were also often on the lips of his deceased father, Kiritsugu Emiya.]

[He would never forget the disappointed expression on Kiritsugu Emiya's face when he said these words.]

Waver: "...Heh, it really is exactly the same."

Lord El-Melloi II: "Yeah, it feels like watching another version of myself."

Kiritsugu Emiya: "Sigh—"

Watching Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya become another version of himself, he couldn't be happy at all.]

He actually didn't want others to become an existence like himself from the bottom of his heart, but fate plays tricks on people.]

Archer's experience is simply like a replica of himself, even worse than his own.]

However, he could also see that Archer actually still retained part of his original heart and hadn't become as extreme as he was in his youth.]

If Archer had completely become him, he should have become the Emiya [Alter] that appeared before, and wouldn't have so much nonsense with Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya.]

[Archer: "You said it, right? You don't want to involve unrelated people. Then admit it: the method of not killing anyone, the result of such a thing is that no one can be saved!"]

[The words, as if stating reality, successfully angered Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya.]

[He didn't want to talk nonsense with Archer anymore and intended to continue chasing Caster.]

[Can he succeed? What should he do after catching up? Can he defeat the opponent, or will he get himself and Saber killed?]

[Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya, dominated by anger, indicated that he didn't want to think about these things now.]

["You wouldn't be planning to chase Caster, would you?"]

[Archer looked speechless; did this guy treat his words as wind in the ears?]

[Or did he provoke him too much, causing a counter-effect?]

Taiga Fujimura: "Emiya Emiya Shirou, although this guy's words are indeed infuriating, you can't just give up on yourself!"

Househusband: "..."

Zabi-ko: "This is a typical look of being blinded by anger."

Li Li Shuwen: "The cultivation of one's spirit is still not enough."

Li Li Shuwen: "Haha, it seems I'm not qualified to talk about others either."

Karna: "Anger..."

At this moment, he thought of the figure of his good friend Ashwatthama.]

Karna: "No matter when, one must not be dominated by anger in one's actions."

[Archer: "It's unbelievable; it's impossible for you alone to beat Caster. If you cherish your life, you'd better not go."]

[Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya ignored the other completely and continued walking into the interior of Ryuudou Temple.]

[Archer followed him helplessly, starting to mutter incessantly.]

["Seriously, are you going to waste the life you barely managed to pick up?"]

["I don't care, but you should at least say thank you? I came to rescue you out of good intentions just now, you know."]

["Although it doesn't count as a life-saving grace, we are friends who escaped death together; please at least be grateful."]

[Although he could directly knock the other out, Archer thought it was better to forget it.]

[If he doesn't correct this kid's death-seeking mindset, it's useless to Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take him away now; he'll still run here to die later.]

Zabi-ko: "I feel like Archer is a bit like a nagging mother at this moment."

Jinako: "I have the same sense of deja vu; Mr. Karna also often nags at me."

Karna: "That's because your life is too decadent."

Archer: "..."

The me in the video is really patient.]

However, it should be reaching the limit.]

["Shut up! Who has a friendship with you! Go back to Rin's Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side quickly! Even if you offer your help on a silver platter, I don't want it!"]

[Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya walked forward angrily, not noticing that Archer's eyes had already changed.]

["Is that so. You have no good feelings for me; that's just perfect."]

[I originally thought you were useful, so I came to save you, and I was patient enough to persuade you, but since you are so ungrateful..."]

[Watching Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya's back, Archer raised a hand, and Kanshou and Bakuya appeared in his hands.]

[Since you want to seek death, then it doesn't matter who you die at the hands of.]

["Swish—"]

[The sharp blade slashed across his body, and blood immediately sprayed out.]

[Although Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya sensed something was wrong and dodged in advance, how could his speed compare to Archer's.]

[Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya fell to the ground just like that, and the sharp pain attacked his brain, almost making him pass out.]

Taiga Fujimura: "!!!"

Zabi-ko: "He actually really did it!"

Blonde Rin: "Killing himself, a ruthless man indeed."

Archer: "(~_,~)"

Househusband: "..."

[Accompanied by the massive loss of blood, Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya's body began to turn cold, and his eyes became blurry.]

[Archer didn't deliver a finishing blow and just watched him coldly.]

[Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya finally didn't want to die at this moment and struggled to crawl toward the entrance.]

[Caster, it's no longer the time to worry about the opponent.]

[And at the same time, Rin Tohsaka, who was still sleeping soundly at home, had a strange dream.]

[She saw Archer standing on a hill full of swords, the sky was extremely pale, and the Kanshou and Bakuya in his hands were shattered.]

[No, what shattered wasn't the sword, but his heart and beliefs.]

[The next moment, Rin Tohsaka woke up from the dream and subconsciously looked toward Ryuudou Temple.]

["Archer?"]

Archer: "..."

What a vivid scene.]

Kiritsugu Emiya: "Shattered faith, fate really plays tricks on people..."

Irisviel: "What a pitiful child."

Rin Tohsaka: "However, I really did sleep all night (=A=)."

["Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya, who has no meaning in battle, just die here."]

[Back at Ryuudou Temple, Archer looked at Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya standing at the entrance, his eyes extremely cold.]

["Not fighting for yourself, but for others. This is just hypocrisy. What you hope for isn't victory, but peace, right? But that kind of thing doesn't exist in this world at all!"]

[This extremely immature Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya had exhausted all of Archer's patience.]

[He originally thought about ending the Holy Grail War quickly so that Rin Tohsaka could win, which is why he wanted to keep Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya alive as an aid, but forget it now.]

[It doesn't matter; even without Saber, he has other plans to let Rin Tohsaka win the Holy Grail War.]

Rin Tohsaka: "There's still a plan? This guy hides so deep."

Blonde Rin: "He wouldn't be pinning all his hopes on Caster, would he?"

Caster: "Heh, then he really thinks highly of me."

But if she had foresight about the Fifth War like Archer, then maybe she could really plan to win.]

["Goodbye, just drown in your ideals."]

[Archer flashed to Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya and slashed at his neck without hesitation.]

[Looking at the blade close at hand, Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya subconsciously wanted to run away, but tripped over a protruding brick.]
