There was a dead silence in the castle hall where gravel rubble was everywhere, and no one made a sound, only the lingering sound of the person who had just spoken echoed.

The magician Yingling, who was in the archery rank, heard him speak his name, and his face did not change at all. Because the name of the hero is said, it means that his life and weaknesses have been exposed, so the hero of the Holy Grail War will never reveal his real name, but Archer doesn't care.

The man who has always hidden his treasures and real names on the grounds of amnesia has never exposed his true identity even when he betrayed the caster. Now Shirou Emiya's doubts about his identity have been revealed.

Heroic spirit emiya (Emiya).

This is a completely unfamiliar name among the many heroes. Looking at the past and present, I have never heard of any hero with the surname Emiya. However, everyone present knows the surname Emiya.

Except for Lancer who doesn't catch a cold about his name, he may be confused. Everyone else knows the surname Emiya.

For example, Saber, she knew two people with the surname Emiya, and they were both men. One was Shirou and the other was Kiritsugu Emiya, her ex-master, and Shirou's adoptive father.

At this moment, when Shirou heard the surname Emiya, she would of course connect the hero's identity with these two people to see if she could connect. Because Shirou was standing beside her, of course it could not be him. So she naturally thought of Kiritsugu. She looked at Archer and frowned in a daze: "Che..."

But as soon as she said this word, she stopped herself, as surprised as if she had seen a living dragon for the first time.

Shirou and Archer's same posture as holding a sword suddenly appeared in her mind. Thinking of the projection ability of Archer's inherent barrier and Archer's persistence towards Shirou that Archer could not understand... Saber trembled irresistibly, and a thunder thunder exploded in her mind.

"No..." Saber whispered unbelievably, and she widened her eyes, as if she could not bear the amazing result, and couldn't help but take a step back.

Her deep eyes left Archer, looking at Shirou, who was not very tall beside her, and then looking at her master who had become a servant, as if she was trying to compare the difference between the two.

Shirou's eyes were very firm, and Archer did not refute his words. If Shirou just said that the real name of archer was wrong, why didn't Archer not refute it?

There is only one answer, what Shirou just said is true.

This Servant, the true body of the hero is: Shirou Emiya!!!

The answer beyond the limits of understanding almost made the Knight King lose his heart and his mind was in a mess.

Indeed, she had also heard about the Heroic Spirits. It was not disturbed by the timeline here, so it was OK to summon future heroes. However, it was too weird to summon future heroes to the age of minors. Moreover, the appearance and voice of these two people are too different. Are they completely two? It is impossible. She knew Shirou. Compared to the evil ways that are disgusting, Shirou's nobleness is admirable, but why, Archer is... "No, Shirou is already amazing, it is completely a matter of time to touch me. It has made such great progress in just a few days. It can be said that it is a miracle to grow from a complete layman to this level. Even if it is not impossible to become a strong man who can compete with the Heroic Spirit in the future."

Thinking of his past remarks, at this moment, Saber's strength disappeared.

Sakura was able to stand after being helped up by Tosaka, and then was helped by Tosaka to sit at the broken wall in the hall, but when she heard Shirou's speech just now, she was stunned.

He said archer is Emiya??!

She kept looking at Archer, then looked at Shirou's back, her big eyes were full of confusion, as if she was completely stunned.

Unlike Saber, Sakura only knows one person with the surname Emiya, and that is Shirou. Kiritsugu died before she met Shirou, so when Shirou said the surname Emiya, her first reaction was Shirou.

But Shirou said that the man, Archer is Shirou, what's going on?

"Learn...Learn..." Sakura blinked as if she was dazzled.

"Sister...Sister..." She looked at her sister in panic, hoping to get verification from her, because the heroic spirit who was once a Servant of Tosaka, she naturally knew what was going on.

Tosaka looked at the other side, not looking at her eyes. In fact, since entering this hall, she had never had any eye contact with anyone. She had already understood that no matter what, Archer wanted to kill Shirou, and they would definitely have a conflict. In the end, no matter which side loses, Shirou Emiya eventually disappeared.

So now things have become this situation, and she no longer wants to watch it.

"Shut up your mouth, sit here honestly, don't move." A sound that squeezed out from the gaps of her teeth reached Ying's ears. When she heard this, she suddenly realized that her hands and feet suddenly became unable to move. Not only that, she could not speak.

Sakura looked at her sister in shock, not understanding what she was going to do, but what she saw was a sad side face.

The red-haired boy and the tall Servant with white hair and copper skin are the same person, which is unimaginable, but they are indeed the same person, and this has just been confirmed from them.

What a big accident, it will take to turn a person into another person who is completely unrecognizable.

"Haaaa" The spearman grinned his mouth exaggeratedly, and couldn't close for a long time. He finally realized the meaning of the Ushi. With a look that seemed to be a ghost, he stepped forward a few steps, as if he wanted to see Archer clearly. Then, he turned his eyes to Shirou: "Hey, kid, that guy is you? Are you not a magician?"

Although he was surprised, Kuchulin was not a brainless person. He turned his head for a moment and understood a little.

But if you think about it carefully, it would be reasonable for him to have illusions such as Gan Jiang Moye, Caladbolg, and Loaias. In the first battle, Lancer thought that the guy's treasure was Gan Jiang Moye, the infinitely split sword. After the second battle, he denied his opinion, and in the third battle, he was even more confused. Now he finally understood why that guy had so many treasures.

Those things are not treasures, they were copied by him. This ability is Archer's treasure.

The heroic spirit will be summoned to various eras and regions. Although the memory afterwards will not be left behind, the combat experience will still be retained. If that guy has seen those treasures in the battle and then copied them, it would not be surprising that he has so many treasures.

"Ah, so that's it, no wonder you have endless swords." Lancer grimaced because he suddenly closed something when he remembered something, but he still didn't believe it: "Seriously, boy... I thought I had something to ask that guy, but I didn't expect it to be the reason. Forget it, seeing this strange thing can be considered repaying it."

There was no persistence at all when he came. The spearmen lazily retreated to the back and did not want to interfere with the matter between them. He originally agreed that he would come because he didn't take action against Archer, but he just wanted to ask about Caladbolg. Now he felt that it didn't matter whether he asked or not. However, when he heard such a shocking result, he didn't want to leave immediately and decided to stay in place to watch. After all, he had never encountered such a thing as self-aggression. Kuchurin kept looking at Archer and Shirou, and finally, he found it. The only similarity between Archer and Shirou Emiya was his eyebrows.

Now there are only people in the center of the hall. Compared to Shiro who was looking at Hei Ling Uemiya, Saber seemed very hesitant. She had never thought about the scene now and didn't know what to do with it. However, even if she knew, her completely powerless body would not be able to move.

That's why Shirou said that he had to make a break with the archer and he had to hand over the archer to him. That's true. If it were him, he wouldn't be able to do anything to him. Because, that Servant, he was Shirou.

Saber suddenly remembered that she had stopped her movements under the first spell of her master. If Shirou had not stopped him at that time, then... she felt a little chilling.

But why... I have all kinds of doubts in my heart, if Shirou becomes a hero, then why would he do such a thing?

The hostages, heroes, and unknown counterfeits all stood next to each other, taking this as a signal of acquiescence? The red knight looked at the hesitant Saber. Seeing that she seemed not as tough as before, she seemed to have no intention of taking action, a faint smile appeared on her face: "Oh, aren't you going to take action? Saber."

Hearing this voice, Saber narrowed his eyes in pain, as if he was a little unwilling to do so. Finally, she made a decision and let go of her tight hands. The invisible sword tip made a crisp sound, and the sword tip was held in the ground by Saber. She raised her head and looked at Archer and took a step forward.

"Well, I understand, I... no matter what happens." Saber's green eyes completely lost their usual spirit and majesty, and her voice was weak: "I will not interfere with your battle with Shirou."

"Is that so? I'm really grateful." Archer nodded and slowly walked down the ladder: "I originally hoped that rider would be restrained by you, but it seemed that he had not succeeded. If things are still blocked by you, it would be meaningless."

"But, in exchange, you need to answer me a question." Looking at the red knight, she expressed her doubts: "archer, why did you kill Shirou? You should have made such a plan from the beginning. You who want to kill Shirou know that the heroic spirit can be summoned to the age of your own survival, so you betray Rin after being summoned. But why is this?"

"It's very simple. As you know, he doesn't like me, and I hate him. If you kill someone, such a reason is enough." The archer seemed a little stupid about this kind of question, and he just answered a very simple sentence.

"No, it's impossible." Saber shook his head and looked at archer with his eyes losing his fighting spirit: "You are Shirou, he has become a hero, right? Since that's the case, why do you want to do such a stupid thing to kill yourself?"

"..." Archer did not answer because he felt that it was meaningless to ask such a question, so he just walked down the stairs silently.

"Wait, archer..." Saber became nervous as the red knight approached little by little. She gritted her teeth, and finally felt that she could not let archer attack Shirou.

But before that, one hand pressed on her armor.

Shiro gently patted Saber on the shoulder and comforted her softly, "It's okay Saber, you can stand behind first."

"But, archer is yours..." Saber also wanted to defend himself.

"I understand your feelings." Shirou smiled relaxedly: "But his goal was to kill me, so it would be useless to say more."

"Yes, that was your master's private matter. As a qualified server, all you should do at this time is to stand beside and watch, right?" Lancer also spoke next to him. He leaned against the wall and hugged his arms, telling Saber.

Hearing this last sentence, Saber could not deal with Shiro's smile. She could only follow the master's instructions and took a few steps back, but still asked archer unwillingly: "Why, archer, I can't understand. You said that you are the guardian, and I also heard that when you are the guardian, you became a heroic spirit and guardian of human beings. But, as a guardian, why do you kill yourself?"

I have seen it several times in my dream. This is Shirou Emiya's dream, which can save others and protect others. He once made a vow to his longing father one night, and has been following it so far. The words of the Guardian coincide with his thoughts.

The steps of walking down stopped, Archer stood in the middle of the stairs, looking down at Saber expressionlessly. It was not because he wanted to answer Saber's question, but because a word in Saber's words just now gave him a little touch.

"Guardian?" Archer looked at Saber's regretful face with an expression on his face, but he greeted the Knight's regretful face with a sneered face.

"No, saber." The red knight looked at the semi-guardian who had also made a contract in front of him, but had not yet completed it: "What the guardian does is not the work of protecting humans, but is just clearing them."

He said plainly as if he was chatting, and his calm words contained hatred and ridicule for himself.

"archer..." Saber looked at the red knight, not understanding what he meant.

"Ahh, indeed, I became a hero. Just as Shirou Emiya himself hoped, I became the incarnation of justice." Archer nodded: "I have indeed saved some people. Not only did I realize my ideals within my own abilities, but I also solved world crises and other things. The power of heroes was also obtained without realizing it."

"Is that true?" Saber looked at archer: "Since that's the case, you have become a hero and realized your dream, then you should have no regrets, why do you still have to kill..."

The words she said gradually disappeared, and Saber understood that she could not convince herself that what she said would not be able to convince her. If it was true, there would be no such hero with hatred in her eyes. It would be understandable just by looking at his appearance that he and Shirou didn't imagine at all. How big a change would have to be achieved in this completely unfamiliar appearance.

Sneering at his original nobleness and accepting shamelessly and shamelessly, is such a man actually the Shirou who embraces a respectable dream?

"Achieve your ideal...? Ah, I have indeed become the embodiment of justice like Ideal." The smile on the bowman's face became more and more obvious, and his voice began to melodiously, as if he was very happy about something. Then, he said what he was happy about: "But in the end, all he got was regret, because only death was left to me."

"Only death..." Saber didn't believe her ears, and never thought that she would hear such a sentence one day. She looked at archer, as if she was looking at her other self.

"In order to save as many human beings as possible, I kill, kill, and kill wildly. In order to implement my ideals, I regard unrelated human beings as grass, and use this to save people who are thousands of times the number of people killed." The archer smiled dryly: "I have forgotten how many times this kind of thing has been repeated, saber."

Speaking of this, he suddenly paused and looked at Saber Xu's right hand holding. There was the position of the invisible sword. He smiled and said, "To be honest, you said that my sword is like a clear stream."

"But you're wrong, there's no clear flow sword at all. The sword is a sword, killing, and destroying." He raised his palm, as if he wanted to prove something: "The sword is called the Lord of the Hundred Blades, and it is the first killing thing that mankind has. No matter what kind of sword it is, it is only one thing that is done, not for his own different existence, but for human beings who are like himself. It is not a tool, but a killing thing. Whether it is a clear flow sword or a dirty sword, no matter how noble it is, it is made of an elf, and as long as it is taken into my hand, it can only be stained with human blood, and can only be used to kill and kill continuously."

Having been speechless by Archer like this, Saber could only stare at him blankly.

Archer laughed at his previous actions: "As long as someone needs me, I will go back to fight, and I will eventually repeat that I can't remember it at all."

"But there is no way to do this." Archer shrugged, and the hatred became more and more obvious in his long voice: "As long as there is a rescued party, no matter how many wars end, new wars will always arise. Because these things exist, the incarnation of justice has to continue to exist and continue to kill."

The conflict of desires, habits, momentary impulses, and the chain spread of hatred in order to protect one's most important things, are all reasons for war. As long as humans still exist on this planet, war will continue and never stop.

He took another step, walked down, and said to the knight who was once his servant: "So I killed, trampled on dozens of people's wishes to save one person. In order to save the trampled person, I lost more people. I killed dozens of people's chances to survive, so that the scope of my sight could be saved. Every time I thought, this time it was finally over, and this time there was finally no one sad, but there was no end at all, it was just my deceiving self-defeating."

"As long as you are alive, war can be seen everywhere and never stopped. Of course, I am not dreaming of a world without disputes. I just hope that at least the world I know can be without people crying." When the Knight said this, there was no fluctuation on his face, but there was a strong emotion in his voice.

It's not something like anger or hatred, but death.

Although he was laughing, mocking, and even though he seemed to have emotional fluctuations, Saber could only feel something from the archer's words.

Dead ashes.

After burning, there was something that was scattered without a trace in the wind. Every part of the body of the Yingling Guardian, and every hair was exposed to a thick gray air, as if this was his due attitude.

"But, if one person is saved, his vision will expand. After one person, there will be ten. After ten people, there will be hundreds. After a hundred people, how many people should be... So I finally realized that what the man Shirou Emiya was holding was just a selfish ideal argument. And..." The red knight despised his former thought: "It is impossible to have equal redemption, there has never been such a thing in this world."

"Why……"

"Hmph, because the seats are limited, the chair called happiness is always smaller than the total. You don't need to ask this clearly. Saber, you have also been the king of a country. You have experienced this kind of thing many times. In order to save the entire country, you have to abandon a small number of people." The Red Knight sneered, his expression as if he had shaken off a lice: "Since you can't save everyone, you have to remove the people who would have sacrificed. In order to minimize the damage you suffered, those people must be cut off without delay."

At this moment, Shirou saw Saber's eyes shrinking due to pain. He understood this because he had seen this before and could understand it.

I don’t want anyone to be sad in a world where there is no way to be sad. If possible, save more people as much as possible. However, this is a contradiction.

Saving more people means that there are still a few people who have not been saved. No matter what, some of them will have to bear those.
To be continued...
