Utilizing his last Command Seals, Shirou conjured a colossal sword by means of Projection, an act that demanded an enormous amount of magical energy.

Propelled by a surge of magical force, Shirou took to the air and rocketed towards the remnants of Spartacus.

"Eaaaaaaah!" the black mud roared in response, rolling and surging forward to form a conscious shield in front of Spartacus.

Shirou's thoughts took control, and swords from the wasteland flew to him, forming a massive horde.

"That is---!" Artoria was stunned by the sight, as were the other Servants and Masters who were also witnessing the spectacle.

The kingdom of swords, composed of holy swords, cursed swords, and countless famous swords, was a breathtaking sight to behold as it rampaged toward the black mud shield.

"Boom!!!" The sound echoed like a thunderclap, and the earth shook.

"Aaaaaaaaaa!!!" Shirou's battle cry echoed as he struck with the giant sword, the kingdom of swords following closely behind. The black mud shield shattered like glass under the relentless onslaught of the horde of swords, and Shirou's strike landed with devastating force into the remains of Spartacus.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, some memories flooded Shirou's mind.

---"Fear not, weak ones, for I have arrived!

---"Allow me to pave the way to your freedom!"

---"You'll be my sword and shield, and I'll be your eyes and mind. Together, we'll invincible!"

---"We're partners in adversity, and this great sword represents our bond!"

---"I am no longer just a single person!"

As their memories flooded Shirou's mind, he plunged the great sword into the remains of Spartacus and quickly made his escape.

"Broken Phantasm!"

With his back turned and his face obscured, Shirou whispered and released a surge of magical energy.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

As the Broken Phantasm was unleashed, a roar like that of a wounded beast filled the air, and a massive explosion erupted from the impact. The sound of the blast echoed across the surrounding landscape, shaking the very ground beneath their feet.

Shirou didn't look back, his face hidden in the clouds as he walked forward in silence.

As the flames from the explosion danced in the air, their light casting a warm glow upon the world around him, Shirou's youthful cheeks were stained with tears.

"Goodbye, Spartacus!"

---"Goodbye, Weak ones!"

The massive explosion at the sword graveyard was causing great erosion, draining Shirou's magical energy until he could bear it no longer.

"Kacha, kacha, kacha..."

Unlimited Blade Works was beginning to fade away.

And then...

"Bang!"

A bullet shot towards Shirou's head, tipped with a sharp point.

Shirou had suspected that once Spartacus was taken care of, Kiritsugu's assassination would follow.

However...

Artoria swung her sword with a loud "clang," slicing the bullet in two. Her solemn face was etched with determination as she cried out, "Kiritsugu! That's enough! Stop it! He's just a child! I won't let you harm him!"
