[ Artoria turned her head to glance, and after confirming that Shirou Emiya was safe, she turned her gaze to Gilgamesh, saying calmly, "Leave the rest to me." ]
[ "No, Saber, go help Tohsaka!" To Artoria's surprise, Shirou Emiya, clutching his left arm, refused her, standing in front of her: "Gilgamesh, I'll take you on alone." ]
[ .....]
~Projection of All Worlds~
"Although she's not the Lion King with the Holy Lance, isn't Shirou Emiya being a bit too reckless... getting further and further down the path of soloing Servants!"
The people of other worlds also noticed the difference between Artoria and the Lion King of the Sacred Round Table Domain. The former had more humanity, while the latter had more divinity!
Everyone felt a bit of regret after realizing this wasn't The Lion King. Otherwise, they could have seen the clash between the Holy Lance Rhongomyniad and the Sword of Rupture, EA, to see which was superior!
~Type-Moon World, Fourth Holy Grail War Worldline~
"...!"
Tokiomi Tohsaka was happy that Shirou Emiya thought of having Saber help his daughter, but he couldn't understand this inexplicably troublesome feeling.
What troubled him even more was that Shirou Emiya actually wanted to fight the King of Heroes one-on-one!! If humans were a match for Servants, he wouldn't be so respectful here.
Moreover, he was using basic Reinforcement maggecraft and Projection magecraft, which, in the eyes of the magician's world, were extremely inefficient, creating temporary, superficial imitations lasting only a few minutes.
~Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline~
"What an idiot... how can a human possibly beat a Servant?"
Rin Tohsaka's face turned red. Although Shirou Emiya's actions warmed her heart, this was too reckless!
He actually wanted Saber, a Servant, to come and support me while he faced Gilgamesh alone. But normally, shouldn't it be the other way around, with Saber holding back Gilgamesh!
.....
[ Even Gilgamesh seemed a bit surprised upon hearing this, then revealed a rather pleased expression. ]
[ "What are you saying, Shirou?" Artoria was also shocked by Shirou Emiya's words, as she was clearly the Servant! ]
[ So she quickly said, "Magicians can't compete with Servants." ]
[ "Yeah!" Shirou Emiya didn't deny it, but his intuition told him this was the best choice, "But I think only I and that guy are exceptions." ]
[ Shirou Emiya, clutching his left arm, looked at Artoria. At this moment, the green marks on his left arm shone even brighter, "Trust me, I can definitely defeat him!" ]
[ Artoria was silent for a moment, then she looked at the void not far away, no longer insisting, and looked at Shirou Emiya, saying, "Good luck in battle, I'll leave Rin to you!" ]
[ Just as Artoria was about to leave, Shirou Emiya suddenly said something that made her feel inexplicable, "I can't save you... that Holy Grail, I don't think it's what you want, so you must see clearly, and don't make a mistake next time." ]
[ "Shirou?!" Artoria was full of doubts, not understanding the meaning of these words at all. ]
[ "Sorry, I didn't express myself well." Shirou Emiya finally said something like a farewell, "I probably don't deserve to be your Master, so..." ]
[ "That's not true, Shirou, you are my Master!" Artoria interrupted him before he could finish, looking at Shirou Emiya gently, "I must fulfill my duty as a Servant. If you have something to talk about, let's talk later!" ]
[ Then Artoria jumped up and left the battlefield, leaving Shirou Emiya and Gilgamesh alone. ]
[ .....]
~Projection of All Worlds~
"Gilgamesh is just silently enjoying himself on the side, feeling a bit cute besides being chuuni, not interrupting their conversation."
"Uh... although I really don't want to say this, isn't the Servant's mission to protect the Master? Is it really okay for you to just leave like that?!"
~Type-Moon World, Fourth Holy Grail War Worldline~
During the Banquet of Kings, everyone present looked at Artoria, who jumped and left the battlefield, with black lines all over their faces. How big is your heart to believe that your Master can really beat the King of Heroes!
"..."
On the other side, Diarmuid Ua Duibhne even felt that things were upside down. Shouldn't a Servant do everything possible to protect the safety of their Master? How did it turn into the Master personally fighting?
This was as absurd as hearing the head coach warming up while watching a soccer game. Who exactly is the Servant?
.....
"So you're only impatient with me..."
Tokiomi Tohsaka's mouth twitched slightly, finding it difficult to maintain his usual elegance.
What was going on?!
Was this still the King of Heroes who cursed people as mongrels?! Why was he so patient this time, silently listening on the side, not showing any impatience... or was his temper only directed at me, Tokiomi Tohsaka!
.....
[ Gilgamesh lowered his head, hands on his hips, his body shaking with laughter, finally covering his face with his hands in a state of madness, "Hahahaha...!! Are you serious? You actually sent Saber away and used yourself as a pawn." ]
[ Gilgamesh seemed to be tired of laughing, returning to normal from his amusement, looking at Shirou Emiya not far away, and said lightly, "Fool, this act of self-sacrifice is just hypocrisy. You're still deluded to this day, what a stubborn do-gooder." ]
[ Golden ripples appeared behind Gilgamesh again. He was already impatient with this stubborn, deluded fool. ]
[ "A fake, a do-gooder, huh..." Shirou Emiya slowly lowered the hand clutching his left arm, and a light appeared in his hand, "Indeed, I am a fake." ]
[ "I was wrong." Shirou Emiya looked at the light in his hand, realizing something, "My Sword Creation isn't about creating swords." ]
[ "Buzz——" A bolt of green magic lightning struck the ground. Shirou Emiya looked at Gilgamesh, his left hand on his almost rotten coat, "There's only one thing I can do, and that's to forge my heart into shape!" ]
[ After saying that, Shirou Emiya threw away his rotten coat. Surrounded by green magic, he raised his right hand with magic power. ]
[ "I am the bone of my sword!" ]
[ "Steel is my body, and fire is my blood!" ]
[ "I have created over a thousand blades!" ]
[ "Unaware of loss," ]
[ Although Gilgamesh's expression remained calm as he looked at Shirou Emiya, he made the golden ripples behind him launch several Noble Phantasms, attacking Shirou Emiya. ]
[ Just as the Noble Phantasms were about to hit Shirou Emiya, a pink shield like peach blossom petals appeared in front of him, blocking all the attacks. ]
[ "Nor aware of gain. " ]
[ "Withstood pain to create weapons, waiting for one's arrival." ]
[ "I have no regrets. This is the only path." ]
[ "My whole life was Unlimited Blade Works." ]
[ As soon as he finished speaking, Shirou Emiya slammed his hand down, and the ground instantly cracked open, flames rising from the ground! The next moment, the scene changed, arriving at a place that was somewhat familiar to everyone... ]
[ At this moment, Gilgamesh stood on a barren plain, at dusk. Shirou Emiya stood opposite Gilgamesh, and around this space was a wilderness filled with swords. ]
[ Shirou Emiya looked at the somewhat surprised Gilgamesh opposite him and continued, "That's right, it's not Sword Creation. What I create is a world containing countless swords. This is the only magic Shirou Emiya is allowed." ]
[ .....]
~Projection of All Worlds~
"Unlimited Blade Works, a Reality Marble! Seeing it for the second time, it's still shocking. This magic that can drag people into another space without any explanation... should be magic."
Although it was also the Reality Marble Unlimited Blade Works, everyone also noticed the difference, that the environments inside were completely opposite...
Shirou the Big Hero's Unlimited Blade Works was on a hill of swords in a blizzard, perhaps related to his abandonment of ideals, loss of loved ones, and loss of everything...
Cutting off all hope, and losing all despair, leaving only a shell named "Shirou Emiya," burning his life to prove that all sacrifices followed the "justice" in his heart.
And now, this Unlimited Blade Works in the dusk still has a glimmer of hope, still stubbornly walking on the path of being an ally of justice. Although denied, there is still light!
~Type-Moon World, Fourth Holy Grail War Worldline~
"I didn't expect that Shirou Emiya in any world would have such a Reality Marble! In that case, I have to re-evaluate this boy named Shirou Emiya."
Tokiomi Tohsaka stroked his chin. Having seen it once, he wasn't that surprised, but having the same Reality Marble might not be a coincidence.
This is a Reality Marble, a magic that rewrites reality with the caster's mental landscape, and is the closest magic to true magic.
Mastering this skill would be enough to call him a great magician, a figure admired in the Mage Association.
But because of this, Tokiomi Tohsaka had a headache,
"The kid in my world who doesn't know much about magecraft actually reached the pinnacle that others can't reach in their entire lives."
~Type-Moon World, Kaleid liner Prisma Illya Worldline~
"A Reality Marble is the embodiment of a mental landscape..."
Only after understanding this did Miyu know what kind of mindset her brother had when he sent her away.
It was an extremely cold snow hill, just as her brother said, abandoning ideals, discarding glory, and losing loved ones, what remained... was irredeemable emptiness.
~Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline~
"Pa, Pa..."
Rin Tohsaka silently slapped herself twice. She really didn't expect that even Shirou Emiya in her world had reached the pinnacle of magicians.
Wasn't his Magic Circuit limited?! If it weren't for the video, she wouldn't even know that Shirou Emiya had become a Master and participated in the Holy Grail War.
But such a half-baked existence actually reached the peak... Even though he was using the most ordinary magecraft, why was he able to use a Reality Marble?
