Chapter 210: Saber.... Thank you... You saved me many times.
🕑 Added 2025-09-05 03:00:03 +0000 UTC【 After heavily slamming Saber Alter to the ground, Rider's Pegasus also vanished. Charging forward at full speed, Rider himself crashed headfirst into the rock wall. 】
【 Meanwhile, Saber Alter, lying on the ground, trembled all over. Her armor was covered in cracks. She then reached out her hand towards the sky, trying to struggle to her feet. 】
【 The next moment, Shirou Emiya emerged from the smoke and straddled Saber Alter. He clenched his daggers tightly and raised them high. At this point, Saber Alter had already begun to recover. 】
【 “Shi...rou?!” Saber Alter slowly raised her head and looked at him... Shirou Emiya gazed into Saber Alter's eyes, met her gaze, and then brought his heavy arm down. 】
【 If I don't stab her now, she'll fully recover immediately. I have to stab her now...Saber, who is covered in wounds, is unable to resist or to stand. If I don't kill her now, we will be the ones who are killed. 】
【 “Splurt—” Accompanied by the sound of flesh being pierced, the sharp blade ran through Saber Alter's heart. Saber Alter did not resist. With a decisive blow, Shirou Emiya completely ended Saber Alter's life. 】
【 I will kill even my memories, dig out my own memories, and throw them into a place I cannot touch. I will never think of her again. 】
【 Absolutely, I will never think of her again. 】
【 This kind of thing will absolutely not be forgiven. I have chosen this path. To save Sakura, I will kill others. 】
【 The closest person, the girl who protected me until the very end, I killed with my own hands... Whether it is regret or remorse, it will not be forgiven. 】
【 Standing on the same side as someone. For the sake of the only person I love, I will continuously abandon important things. Beyond this point. There cannot be a radiance that gazes upon what has been lost. 】
【 “Thank you... You saved me many times.” As Shirou Emiya lowered his head and said his final farewell, Saber Alter's body gradually dissipated, merging into the darkness underground. 】
【 What I owe, one day, when I can no longer move, I will see it. Even so─── Unsightly, ridiculous, worthless, I will continue to abandon my responsibilities. 】
【 However, even if I cannot see the end, I still vow never to give up. 】
【 In this brief moment, the words that Shirou Emiya had buried deep in his heart were finally revealed, making everyone understand the magnitude of the resolve this young man had made! 】
【 。。。。。】

“He did the right thing... In that situation, there was no room for any mercy. Saber Alter, her body was recovering rapidly. If you didn't eliminate her, they would have been the ones to lose.”
“He even killed his memories. There is not a hint of confusion in his eyes; only the desire to save Sakura can keep him going.”
Everyone from other worlds felt Shirou Emiya's growth, or rather, his tenacity, and the self he had abandoned because of this tenacity.
This is what makes him different from the 'Shirou Emiya' of other worlds. He knows that his actions will not be forgiven. Since he has chosen this path, he will not regret it.
Even if he cannot see the end, he will not give up. He has abandoned all responsibility and even sacrificed important things, all for the sake of the one he loves.
This time, Shirou Emiya is no longer an Ally of Justice, not bound by the ideals he believes in...
Even if he considers himself unsightly, ugly, and ridiculous, even if his self has lost its value, he is still the hero of justice for Sakura alone. He only wants to save Sakura from her suffering.
~Type-Moon World, Fourth Holy Grail War Worldline~
“He has walked down a path with no future. If he continues like this, he will lose even himself.”
Saber frowned slightly, looking at Shirou Emiya, who had already made up his mind.
Although she, as a Heroic Spirit, had her life ended by a human, it gave her a subtle feeling. However, considering that Shirou Emiya was somewhat special, she was not so conflicted. After all, every Shirou Emiya could hold his own against a Heroic Spirit.
“Hmph. Pathetic... yet intriguing. Show me more, Zasshu.”
Gilgamesh squinted his eyes. Losing even oneself would only lead to an empty shell in the end. Even if he achieved his goal, what would be the point?!
Even the expression of Irisviel next to him was a little mournful. Why was it that none of the Shirou Emiyas in every world had a good ending... It even felt like each one was more tragic than the last.
~A Certain Magical Index World, Academy City~
“Losing memories... The one who is forgotten is the one who suffers the most.”
Looking at Shirou Emiya like this, Misaki Shokuhou's expression suddenly became a little low. She also had a hero who protected her at the cost of his life... Touma Kamijou.
But because of this, in order to save him, she could only use her ability for emergency anesthesia at that time, but the after-effect was that the cognitive area in Touma's brain related to her suffered irreversible damage.
Therefore, all memories related to her were erased, and he would never be able to remember her from then on. Every time they met, she had to reintroduce herself.
。。。。。
【 After doing all this, Shirou Emiya silently used the Shroud of Martin to reseal his left hand. He then walked over to Rider, who was covered in wounds. 】
【 Shirou Emiya looked at Rider, but because the memories in his mind had already begun to fade, or rather, he had already forgotten them, he could only refer to Rider as 'you'... “I'm leaving first. Follow when you recover.” 】
【 Rider, whose legs were broken and who was collapsed on the ground, with even his clothes somewhat torn, looked at Shirou Emiya's departing back and closed his eyes with relief, “I didn't expect you to be so good at bossing people around.” 】
【 。。。。。】
~Projection of All Worlds~
“Sigh... Every time he uses it, he's affected. Shirou's memory is already missing, and the influence of Emiya Archer is getting deeper and deeper.”
Now, even the name of Rider, whom he had trusted before, has begun to be forgotten. What is left in his mind now?!
Looking at his determined eyes, there is no longer the indecisiveness of the past, and he has even begun to incorporate some of Archer's personality.
。。。。。
【 Just as Shirou Emiya silently walked forward, the scene shifted to Dark Sakura. 】
【 “Buzz—” As a golden light appeared in the sky, it startled Dark Sakura, who had just been staring blankly. 】
【 Dark Sakura looked up and saw the light drawing a circle in the sky. The barrier formed by this shadow shattered with a bang. Rin, holding the Jeweled Sword, descended here amidst the twinkling stars, looking at Dark Sakura with indifferent eyes. 】
【 The black shadow in front of Dark Sakura grew enormous, its arms lashing out like whips, dragging the ground towards Rin. 】
【 “Heh!!” Rin crouched slightly and swung the Jeweled Sword forward. Twinkling starlight, as brilliant as diamonds, appeared around her and then transformed into a dazzling magic cannon that annihilated the black shadow. 】
【 “Damn it!!” Dark Sakura summoned the black shadow paper figures again and sent them falling towards Rin. 】
【 Rin quickly ran towards Dark Sakura, dodging the black shadow paper figures' attacks by bending down, while swinging the Jeweled Sword to cut off all the attacking black shadows. 】
【 “Buzz!!” Rin enhanced her jumping ability, with magic crests flowing on her thighs. She leaped into the air and swung the Jeweled Sword at the black shadow paper figures again! 】
【 The Jeweled Sword emitted a bright light, followed by another dazzling magic cannon that completely annihilated the black shadow. Seeing all this, Dark Sakura was filled with disbelief, “How could this be...?!” 】
【 。。。。。】
~Projection of All Worlds~
“Holy crap, this scene of her descending is so cool! If I remember correctly, this is Shirou Emiya's projection, right? It can actually be materialized to this extent.”
“All I can say is, your sister is always your sister. As expected, mages fight in close combat. Dark Sakura's combat experience is still too little.”
Everyone looked at Rin, who was on a rampage, with stunned expressions.
This projection of Shirou Emiya is really ridiculous... Not only can it be perfectly projected, but even the original functions are perfectly replicated.
But... it really feels like anyone and anything can fight against a Heroic Spirit now. This magic power is like it's free, and magic cannons are being fired randomly.
~Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline, Chaldea~
“Now, besides the known Ea (Sword of Rupture) . Is there anything that Shirou Emiya cannot project?”
Da Vinci's mouth twitched as he looked at the Jeweled Sword in Rin Tohsaka's hand. She is so powerful and rampaging now, don't forget that its essence is just a projection!
This simple projection magic has almost been played to its limits by Shirou Emiya. Can he be a little reasonable?! Give them Heroic Spirits some face.
Even Fujimaru Ritsuka, next to her, was a little skeptical. If Shirou Emiya had enough magic power, could he also project the Holy Grail?!
Then use the projected Holy Grail as a magic source to form a perpetual motion machine?!
~Type-Moon World, Fourth Holy Grail War Worldline~
“The Jeweled Sword can borrow magic power from parallel worlds... This means that Rin at this moment has infinite magic power.”
Tokiomi Tohsaka was quite familiar with the Jeweled Sword.
But Rin is probably not having an easy time either. Every time she swings the Jeweled Sword, she experiences the pain of muscle tearing. Every time she uses it, a muscle fiber breaks.
But now both Rin and Sakura have virtually infinite magic power. Now it's a battle of magic power usage and combat skills, which is the situation he least wants to see.
“Sister against sister...”

Author Note: For the part with Shirou Emiya and Saber, I added the game part. The anime doesn't show the resolve Shirou Emiya made.
