The sword was embedded in his chest, reaching his spine, almost splitting Shinji's upper body in two. Blood flowed out along the blood trough, adding a touch of scarlet to the deep seabed.
The man holding the knife was also knocked to the ground at the same time. Even with the reduction of seawater, a huge pit was still created on the seabed. What was even more surprising was that on Shirou's right face, with Shinji's fist as the center, a thrilling crack was gradually spreading all over the body. It was like tempered glass hit by a sledgehammer, looking extremely fragile, but it didn't break, which was very strange.
Shirou, who was lying in the pit, touched his cheek, grinned, and projected his thoughts to Shinji.
"You were so cruel. You broke my spiritual foundation. I am really useless now. You are almost the same."
"That's right, Wild Boar Skin is not invincible after all. It's already the limit that I survived your attack."
"We both lost our ability to move, how about calling it a draw?"
"I'm reluctant, but... no, I won."
"Eh?"
Shinji, who should have had difficulty even standing, suddenly grabbed the knife embedded in his body and pulled it out with strength he didn't know where he got from.
Shirou seemed to be startled by this scene and it took him a while to react.
"Command Seal?"
"That's right." Shinji nodded, the knife wound on his chest healing quickly, "Don't forget, I have a Master. Although she didn't participate in the battle, she won't leave me alone."
When one party's life is threatened, the other party will feel it, which is the most basic function of the master-servant contract. When Shirou severely injured Shinji with a knife, Fiore, who was far away in Mirenia City, immediately sensed Shinji's weakness and immediately conveyed her prayers and the miraculous magic of the Command Spell to Shinji.
"Don't die!"
This feeling and this magic power became Shinji's new motivation, and also became the final weight that determined the outcome of the battle.
"It's me, no, we won, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada."
"Yeah, you win, you win."
Shinji's victory is not only his victory, but also the victory of the entire black team. No matter whether it is Shinji or Shirou, they are not fighting alone. The winner tried his best, and the loser was convinced.
"It's really amazing, especially that last punch - what's that punch called?"
"I haven't come up with a name yet... Let me think about it. This punch is derived from Chiron's "Scorpio Shot" and borrows the power of "Perseus", so let's call it "Perseus Punch." "
"Eiichi One Punch? Why does it sound so low?"
"What do you call it then?"
"Is there any need to think about this? Of course it's the 'Magic Immortal Fist'; ah."
"Clam?"
Shinji couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard the name.
"What's so funny? I'm still a bit confused! You must have heard of the four guardians of the world of Fuyuki, also known as the Four Powerful Ones. Do you want me to explain it to you?"
"No."
As a Moon Fan, how could Shinji not have heard of the Four Great Masters of Fuyuki, the Four Great Guardians of the Other World? They are even more "powerful" than the Four Heavenly Kings of the Sideways and the Four Heavenly Kings of the Sideways. They are -
"Nuclear Chasing God Arrow" Mizuki Ayako.
"Antimatter Royal Fist" Ryudo Kazunari.
"Planet Watcher" Taiga Fujimura.
And - "Magical Immortal Fist" Shinji Matou.
Look at the names, don't they sound cool and awesome? However, these are all the product of various spoofs in the market. These four people are ordinary people, so they put quotation marks around the word "powerful". Especially about the last title, it is more derogatory than praise, because Shinji is an out-and-out villain in the original Fate.
therefore-
"To be honest, I don't like this name, and you should know why."
"I can roughly guess, but if you think about it carefully, excluding the spoof factor, this name is indeed very appropriate. That punch borrowed the power of Perseus, but it was your magic that directly damaged the spirit base. 'Magic Perseus Fist'; it is worthy of the name."
"Now that you mention it, it's true." Shinji didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I'll think about it carefully later. Before that, it's time for you to fulfill your promise, otherwise I'll kill you now."
"Yeah, I know, come with me."
After a short rest, Shirou's physical strength and magic power recovered a little. He waved his hand, and a white hole appeared in front of the two of them.
"This is-?"
"The special space I prepared in advance can block all observations. Come in and you will know everything. Don't worry. I won't cheat you again. You should also know that if I really wanted to kill you, you would have died long ago."
Shirou said as he struggled to get up from the ground and ran headfirst into the white hole.
Perhaps it was because of the fierce battle that he vented a lot of his anger, or perhaps it was because he knew that Shirou was telling the truth, Shinji no longer hesitated and followed in.
After a brief feeling of weightlessness caused by the space switch, the scenery in front of me changed.
The door that opens to the inside is made of old oak, which has a heavy feeling of time accumulation. It is decorated with antique brass door handles that are rare in modern times. There is a chopping board hanging on the door, on which is painted a lifelike sled dog with its tongue sticking out.
Seeing the doorplate, Shinji's expression suddenly changed, as if he was expecting something, but also a little afraid. Finally, he gritted his teeth and pushed open the oak door. The wooden door activated the wind chimes at the entrance, making a crisp sound.
This is a closed room without windows, but it doesn't seem dim. There are quite a few lamps installed on the ceiling and walls, casting a bright but not glaring light. There are sets of tables and chairs neatly arranged in the room. Like the wooden doors, the tables and chairs are also made of wood. They are quite old, but well maintained, giving people a sense of plain comfort. On the table are transparent glass bottles and ceramic water cups and kettles.
Yes, this is a unique little restaurant.
Hearing the sound of wind chimes, a man came out from the inner room. It was Shirou who had come in earlier. He waved to Shinji at the door and said:
"Just sit down, it will be ready soon."
"Oh... um..."
Shinji responded blankly, walked into the store in a daze, and chose a middle seat that was neither too close nor too far.
Not long after, Shirou came out, holding a tray with two bottles of wine in a ceramic pot and four side dishes on it, and he was not wearing a church robe, but a chef's uniform that can be seen in every restaurant.
"You must be hungry after fighting for so long. Let's eat and talk at the same time."
Shirou placed the dishes and wine on the table, sat down opposite Shinji, opened the seal of the clay pot, and poured a glass for himself and Shinji respectively.
"Come on, let's go."
Shinji didn't raise his glass, but just stared at Shirou blankly, his lips trembling and his expression stiff.
"You...you...this...is..."
PS: The origin of the four guardians:
Ayako Mizuzu: Because her face looks exactly like Shiki's, she is called Shiki's mini version. She is not as flat as Shiki, but has a great figure, and is said to be superior to Shiki. She was born in the Kyudo Club, and her archery level is only second to Shirou. She is called "Nuclear Chasing God Arrow" because of her bow + Mystic Eyes of Death.
Ryudo Issei: He was affected by various Noble Phantasms but was unharmed. Combined with the fact that the floor of Ryudo Temple could be hit no matter how hard it was hit, it was inferred that the reason why the floor of Ryudo Temple was indestructible was because Issei practiced martial arts here, hence the name "Antimatter Royal Fist".
Fujimura Taiga: He has the lucky EX attribute that can blind the eyes of spearmen, and was made fun of by the official fan fiction. Later, there was an invincible joke that anyone who became Taiga's enemy would die inexplicably, and he eventually became the "Planet Watcher".
Shinji Matou: This is the most reliable one among the four. In the UBW line, he was able to contain Illya's nuclear reactor without dying, and his closed magic circuit was stretched open; he caught Lijelite's (one of Illya's two maids) axe with his bare hands (a weapon with a density three times that of iron, which most servants cannot use) - some people say that in the FSN line, Shirou and Ainz killed Kaishu together, but it was not the credit of the two of them, but Kaishu was punched by Erye before, and this punch knocked out Kaishu's seven lives. In addition, in the sequel FHA, Sister R personally selected Perseus as the victorious version of Shinji, and finally made the "Magic Immortal Fist" famous.
