(Thanks for the reward and support for discovering one hundred ways men lie)
Robin Hood's "Prayer Bow" is made of yew, which has the symbolic meaning of "the tree leading to the underworld" in mythology. As long as the arrows it shoots touch the enemy, they can kill the diseases and poisons accumulated in the enemy's body. It instantly amplifies and explodes, and combined with the poison he refined himself, it can be regarded as a very lethal weapon.
However, when Shirou was thrown into the demon world by Dia for training, most of his body parts had been replaced. The level of diseases and poisons in his body was far lower than that of ordinary people, and the arrows had no immediate effect.
On the other side, Bazett took advantage of Shirou's fight with Robin Hood and tried to use the power of the Command Spell to heal Cu Chulainn. In addition to forcing the servants to execute orders, the command spell can also allow the servants to achieve some impossible things within the reach of the master's magic power. Combined with the level A [Battle Continuation], Cu Chulainn can really do it. Rescued.
But even if Cu Chulainn returns to his peak form, he still can't find a way to win. The "Death Thorn Spear" is ineffective against enemies who don't care about their hearts. The "Death Wing Spear" is destructive enough, but don't forget about the original sniper and floating cannon, and compete with a humanoid arsenal like Shirou at long range. No chance of winning.
——As a matter of course, Master and Servant Archer and Master and Servant Lancer exited.
(Bang, bang, bang!) The fifth person to leave was Assassin’s Master Rani VIII. Since she still had considerable vitality after being pierced through the heart, Shirou had to give her a few more shots: “That’s all for the body. I don’t seem to be mentally right either.”
Assassin, who was watching the death of his master with his hands folded, gave the answer: "She is an artificial human made by the alchemist of Atlas Academy, one of the three major departments of the Magic Association. She has almost no self and just obeys. Participate in the war under the orders of the dean."
"I see." The thought of killing Atlas Academy flashed through Shirou's mind, but he also knew that this was not the question he should think about now. He turned to look at Assassin, "What about you? Why don't you resist?"
"I only kill the people who deserve to be killed. I don't want to hurt innocent people." Assassin paused for a moment, shook his head and said, "Besides, you are neither a king nor a god, so I can't defeat you."
Assassin's attribute panel is at the lowest level among servants. Even Rin Tosaka, who is proficient in Bajiquan, cannot beat him. However, he has level A [vs. kingship] and level B [vs. divinity]. He has restraint. King and God's [******] and [******] are of a type that behave differently depending on the opponent.
Arturia, who is King Arthur, and Cu Chulainn, who is half human and half god, can all be taken away with one shot without any accident; Hercules, who became a god after death, is also restrained, but he has to respect the [Twelve Trials] , it is impossible to determine how many times [******] and [******] can kill him; Medusa, who degenerated from a goddess into a monster, still has some divinity left, which cannot be taken away with one shot, but It can also cause considerable damage to it; the real powerful enemy is Robin Hood, who is neither a king nor a god, and the Noble Phantasm cannot do any damage.
Without Shirou's intervention, Assassin's possibility of winning the Holy Grail War is not low as long as he adopts the correct strategy and uses other servants to kill Robin Hood and Hercules first.
Shirou questioned: "Yet you allowed Shinji Matou to harm innocent people."
"I have no way to disobey the constraints of the Command Seal." Assassin turned to look at the back of Rani VIII's hand. The Command Seal symbol that originally consisted of three strokes now only has two strokes left. This Command Seal is used to prevent excessive moral standards. He took action to save people and maintain the alliance.
"...Really." Shirou's hostility towards Assassin was mostly reduced. After thinking for a while, he asked again, "Looking at your clothes and Noble Phantasm, you are a modern heroic spirit?"
With the death of Rani VIII, Assassin lost the supply of magic power that maintained his existence. He could already feel the approach of death, so there was no need to lie: "To be precise, it is the heroic spirit of the future... (River Crab Processing)"
"The future?" Shirou obviously didn't know enough about the deeper settings of the Holy Grail War, and he was stunned for a while. "... Just ask, if you get the Holy Grail, what do you want to do?"
"(River Crab Processing)!"A
Ssassin replied bluntly, "(River Crab Processing), can victims like me live a different life?"
Shirou was silent for a moment and said in a serious tone: "I don't know what it means to interfere with the past in your eyes... However, I will find time to deal with it."
"...Thank you..." Assassin turned into a point of light and disappeared.
Shirou raised his arms high, and the Gayebog, bullet casings, and floating cannon fragments in the church turned into magic power and were recovered. The recovery of magic power was secondary. The key point was not to leave strange things behind at the scene. He didn't want to interfere with the technological development of this world. .
Then he turned around and walked up to Master Saber and Rider and stopped: "Can I ask you a question?"
Tohsaka Rin asked warily: "...What?"
"Caster has been killed a long time ago. Your opponent only has one Berserker left. Two against one should not be a problem." Shirou asked while scanning the expressions on the faces of the four people. "There is only one winner in the Holy Grail War. It's time. At that time, how will you sisters determine the outcome? Will the two sisters share the results and let one of the servants commit suicide? Or will the sisters kill each other in order to enjoy the results exclusively?"
Tohsaka Rin said without hesitation: "I will never hurt Sakura!"
"You seem to be telling the truth, but some people may have different opinions." Shirou glanced at Artoria.
"Saber, this..." Tohsaka Rin realized that what he just said had hurt the interests of the servants, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Artoria stared at Shirou with concentration and determination on her face: "Don't be swayed, Rin!"
"I have no such intention." Shirou shook his head and walked past, "I just want to say... I had the idea of killing you sisters and Matou Shinji eight years ago, but I gave it up out of reason and justice. I regret one-third of what Matou Shinji has done. I hope you sisters will not make me regret the remaining two-thirds."
After Shirou left, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Tohsaka Rin looked at the corpses of Matou Shinji, Bazett, and Rani VIII, gritted his teeth and said: "This man has the strength of the 27th ancestor of the Dead Apostles, and he came to the fish pond to fry fish!"
Tohsaka Sakura comforted: "Senior, he seems to be just here to do something brave..."
"I know, I know... He is a hero for justice, and we are evil magicians. Evil is in our blood. He is so kind to let us live until now~" Tohsaka Rin said in a strange way.
After failing to comfort her, Tohsaka Sakura could only smile bitterly and said: "Uh, sister, why don't we go check on Ayako-senpai's condition?"
"Oops! I forgot to ask that guy where he took Ayako!" Tohsaka Rin rushed out of the church, but Shirou was nowhere to be found.
Tohsaka Sakura and Medusa followed closely, with only Artoria lagging behind. Her face lost its usual fortitude, and she murmured: "...are you the orphan of the Fuyuki City fire..."
