Shirou melted Shinji's rain of arrows in one breath, and immediately turned from defense to offense, stepped on the void with both feet, and rushed towards Shinji.
Shinji was also straightforward. He simply removed the buoyancy on his body and sank to the bottom of the sea.
Before Shirou announced the name of his move, Shinji saw his method - Zanka-dachi·Western·Zanhi Gokuyi, which diffuses the heat sealed in the blade and drapes it over the body, burning all the invading objects into ashes. It is an attack and defense move at the same time.
The solution is also very simple, find a way to cool down. The sea is under your feet, you can evaporate the sea water if you have the ability.
Although Shirou was incredibly strong, he did not have the ability to evaporate the ocean dry. When he saw Shinji enter the water, he immediately reduced the heat around his body and floated about a hundred meters above the sea surface.
The battle situation reached a stalemate.
Shirou cannot steam dry up the sea, and if he rashly enters the water, his body movement will be greatly affected, so he can only let Shinji hide in the sea.
Shinji was helpless, too. He couldn't stand the high temperature if he got close, and his long-range arrows couldn't break through the protection of the "Remaining Sun Prison Clothes". Even more troublesome was Shirou's "Dimensional Jump", a skill that had saved Shirou from danger many times. If there was no way to restrain this skill, Shinji would not be able to truly defeat Shirou.
So, the two of them could only stare at each other across the sea, mocking each other with their minds.
"Come out."
"Not coming out, unless you don't use the 'Day of the Dead Prison Clothes';."
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
"How about you come down?"
"You can come down, just take away the Dharma image."
"Okay, if you come down, I won't have to."
"Really?"
"Really not necessary!"
Shinji showed his sincerity with practical actions. He cast a water-repellent rune on himself and then really removed his Dharma image.
"Okay, wait, I'll be right down!"
Shirou was not ambiguous either, he made a somersault, jumped into the water, and kicked his feet to kill Shinji. Shinji kicked his legs at the same time, holding the fantasy sword and charging at Shirou. Both of them moved forward, and it seemed that they were going to have a long-awaited head-on collision.
However, at the moment before the two collided, amazing magic power suddenly erupted from Shinji's body, and the Dharma image that had just dissipated condensed again, and a fantasy sword and four fists bombarded Shirou like a storm.
Unexpectedly, Shirou's movements were even faster. Before the Dharma image was solidified, his figure blurred and he directly "jumped into another dimension" out of the sea.
"I knew you were going to cheat, luckily I had a plan in mind."
"Where did I cheat? You asked me to withdraw my Dharma image, but you didn't say I couldn't condense it again."
"Then I'll take off my fire suit and you come out?"
"And you put it on again? Do you think I'm stupid?"
"You're not stupid, just a little dumb. If you had the ability, you wouldn't have come out."
"If you don't want to come out, then don't come out. Let's see who can outlast the other!"
Shinji's words hit the nail on the head. His current strength was entirely supported by the Command Spells. When the effect of the Command Spells wore off, the three Shirou would not be able to defeat Shinji, who had comprehended a part of the third magic and awakened the origin.
The biggest shady person behind this Holy Grail War sighed helplessly:
"I will definitely not be able to outlast you. In a few minutes, the effect of the Command Spell will end."
This also means that Shinji only has a few minutes left if he still intends to defeat Shirou in his strongest state.
"So, what do you want?"
"I will focus all my remaining magic power on the next strike."
"I see. Let's go all out and have one last blast?"
"Yes, do you dare?"
Shinji snorted, "Why not?"
Shirou laughed: "That's right, this is the you I know."
"The me you know..."
"If you have anything to say, wait until the fight is over."
"Okay, I'll wait for your explanation. Come on, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada!"
"Come on, Matou Shinji!"
The red stars lit up brightly again. That was all of Shirou's magic power, and it was the last glimmer of light from the Command Spell that was about to be exhausted.
Along with this torrent of magical power, the heat around Shirou began to rise steadily. In just a few seconds, the sea water under Shirou's feet began to boil.
There is no doubt that Shirou's next knife attack will be extremely terrifying.
Witnessing the enemy's power, Shinji was a little troubled. He didn't know what trick to use to put an end to it.
Whether it was the previous hand-to-hand combat or the subsequent arrow storm, the lethality was somewhat insufficient.
It's not impossible to release the true names of "Fantasy Great Sword" and "Immortal Blade", but Shinji always feels a little regretful. First, this is the last resort, and he doesn't want to use someone else's things; second, these two treasures may not be able to fight against that guy's last sword.
It was his own, and he needed to be able to match the terrifying sword that was about to come. After thinking it over, Shinji could only think of one answer - explosion, Qing (huh) Zhen attack.
Although it is a bit strange, this is indeed his best and most powerful method at the moment.
That's it. The Dharma body is originally a combination of thoughts and magic power. Inject all the power that can be mobilized at present into it, and then inject the faith of the treasure into it to create an unprecedented super bomb!
Well, it’s decided. Let’s use this bomb as a grand closing firework.
Thinking of this, Shinji began to restrain his breath and concentrate all his strength. Only in this way could he deliver the strongest blow and overwhelm Shirou in this final move.
The magic power was extracted, the thoughts were concentrated, the faith was compressed, and every step was in order.
I have to say -
"—you have a great talent for this, but—"
A voice echoing in his mind interrupted Shinji's concentration. It was not pure longing from relatives or friends, but a direct conversation.
"who?"
"You can't even recognize my voice?"
The deep, magnetic, majestic yet pleasant voice instantly evoked Shinji's memories.
"Master? But—"
"In a different world, a master is no longer a master?"
This sentence confirmed Shinji's guess that the source of the voice was Scathach, the Scathach of this world, the Scathach that he had no connection with. But even if there was no connection, it was not surprising that Scathach could tell Shinji's origins, given her great magical powers. After all, most of Shinji's abilities came from her.
"How could that be? No matter which world I am in, I will always be your disciple, as long as you are willing."
"Hmm, hmm, you are really good at talking. No wonder I in other worlds am willing to accept you."
Scathach seemed very satisfied with Shinji's answer.
"Master, what do you want me to do? It's nothing important, just let me throw this out first."
"Can't lose it."
"Huh? Why?"
"Because it's such a waste. Such a precious thing should not be used to make bombs. There are more ways to defeat the enemy than just explosions."
"???"
"Concentrate your mind and feel it with your heart. You will understand it now that you have mastered magic."
Then, Shinji saw the great battle at the end of the Age of Gods, the catastrophe that swept across Northern Europe, and - the chapter of magic that was comparable to the pinnacle of swords.
PS: The ending is of course the FA chapter. What are you thinking? How can it be the ending if the master hasn’t even been defeated
