Chapter 73 Past and Future(2/2)
"Save everyone and become a partner of justice, it is a curse that can never escape by hundreds of lives, and the man has engraved in Shiro Emiya's heart."
"I gave up the person I could have saved and fell into the sea of despair, but I saw the smile that was happy because I could save others. It made you fall into that desire to save forever."
Yes, if you don’t save others, you can’t survive. He has long lost himself and become a parasite that must rely on this emotion to survive.
"Shiro Emiya will never be able to watch people get into trouble in this life, so no matter how I tell you the future destiny, you still long to be a hero, reborn for ten years, and you prove this to me with your life."
"But there is one person you never saved-!"
Archer's expression seemed to be smiling and sad.
“…”
When I was powerless, I failed to save Saber, and I failed to save many people. After all, I am a human being. There are too many people who cannot save them, but the subconscious told me that it is not the person Archer wants to say.
“——That’s Shirou Emiya.”
"You can't watch the people around you fall into suffering, and have to reach out for others again and again, but in this long life, you have never seen yourself, and you have never thought of saving yourself."
"In order to save a person's wish to trample on dozens of people. In order to save the trampled person, more people have been erased. The salvation of dozens of people has been erased, just to make the salvation of what is seen in front of you can realize, and more prayers have been erased."
"——No matter how you think about a war, I don't include myself. Until I return to the Holy Grail War again."
"I am just Shirou Emiya who exists as a weapon after death. No matter how many killings I have experienced, his resentment will disappear after returning to the throne of Heroes. Shirou Emiya is a human being who died with the wish of a righteous partner, and he prays to turn himself into a weapon of justice, without resentment and regret."
A man who cannot be freed from the guilt of saving others is eager to sacrifice his guilt and turn into an ignorant hand of salvation until he can finally save himself in pain.
"However, a wrong call turns the resentment that I entangled with myself into reality and manifests itself in the world. I recall my destiny in human form, and resent the future I chose with my human nature. From this point of view, I am not the real Shirou Emiya, but another person who inherits Shirou Emiya's justice and resentment."
In front of me, Archer directly rejected his name and will.
"But here, I can save Shirou Emiya."
"Is that just killing me?"
Things are getting ridiculous.
"If you can't change the will of others, you will take the other person's life. Shirou Emiya will eventually fall into such a desperate situation. I just repeated this choice."
"Hahahaha--You finally made the murder become so righteous."
I couldn't help laughing wildly.
"What if killing you can really save the world?"
Archer smiled brightly and said to me more and more outrageously.
"Do you know what enemies you're going to face next?"
"What other outrageous things do you want to say?"
"That black servant, as caster, will continue to devour the life of this world until the evil spirits that die. And also have the ability to pollute the soul. Ordinary servant is not his opponent, so after fighting with him for so long, beserker will seek self-liberation. Will you leave this evil spirit that can endanger the world without any hesitation?"
"Because I'm about to face that evil spirit, you have to kill me in advance. Can this save the world?"
"You are now seriously injured. Without Saber's help, it will take several months for you to heal these wounds, and even the hidden wounds in your body can pester you for the rest of your life. Do you believe you can still fight?"
Needless to say, I can confirm such a thing.
Body slashes and muscle strains, these wounds were all over my body, enough for me to tie a bandage for half a year.
The injuries suffered in the muscles and bones will never be restored for the rest of your life.
"Just because of such injuries, you said that killing me can save the world. Do you think I will believe it?!"
"You can't, but I can-"
"You and I have the same name and have a soul with a completely similar inner substance, so your and my powers are completely compatible. And coincidentally, I have seen a magic knife that can absorb souls."
Magic Sword, I remembered the weapon in the hands of the black warrior, and it seemed that the magic sword that absorbed countless souls of people. I also understood Archer's plan.
"You want to absorb my power and then defeat the black warrior?!"
"My treasure requires too much magic power, and even the caster's magic power is almost consumed by me, so I need your power."
"You are not his opponent."
I shook my head.
"In this Holy Grail War, I am the only one who can defeat him with ranged combat capabilities and infinite treasures."
archer said solemnly.
"For such a reason, a chance to win, will you kill me?"
"Isn't Shirou Emiya's ideal to save the world? Since you have no ability to fight, then give me the power and exchange your life for the realization of justice."
Archer stared at me with a sharp look.
"I sacrifice your life and realize your wish to be just, and avoid falling into the cycle of reincarnation I have experienced. Is this the best ending for Shiro Emiya?"
What is wrong? No matter how righteous Archer said, there are mistakes that cannot be ignored.
Even because of the desire to survive, I cannot tolerate my life being manipulated by others, or even by my future self.
"That's what you think, it's ridiculous. He decided so arrogantly to take away a person's life."
The power from which I didn't know where I stood up, and even though I staggered, I stood firmly in front of the bright red knight.
Facing his unarmed and scarred past self, the cold messenger of justice showed his sword. In the oriental style, the strange long sword body pointed obliquely towards the sky, which was the magic sword from the black warrior that could devour human souls.
"Emiya Shirou will not give up on his struggle even in hopeless despair. I know you won't agree with my point of view, but I will still take your life, no matter how you struggle."
On the lonely battlefield, the stars everywhere witnessed the indomitable belief of the two soldiers and would witness the battle that absolutely cannot coexist with each other.
"Shiro Emiya, die here-!"
The black track crossed the night sky and fell towards my neck. I struggled to pounce on the side, trying to avoid this blow.
However, the subsequent attack did not appear. I turned around and saw the light shining around Archer.
"This is……?"
"Caster, why do you still call me at this time?"
The Red Knight was shocked and angry, and his figure gradually faded in the air.
That was the caster's call. I don't know what danger he had experienced was summoning her servant.
Archer is still struggling, but his resistance is too low and he has almost no resistance effect.
Until he projected another sword.
"Don't bother me anymore-!"
The strange-shaped dagger, which is only suitable for ritual utensils, is projected out by the archer and stabs directly into his chest.
The dagger is the caster's treasure.
