Fate: I Will Eventually Become the Hero of Justice

Chapter 106

As Gilgamesh unleashed all of his Noble Phantasms, he was able to single-handedly hold back the army of Heroic Spirits for a brief moment.

"Someone has betrayed Alaya!"

"Who is it?"

"I don't know, but he won't last long. Anyone who goes against Alaya is bound to be captured and brought back soon enough."

...

As Arjuna prepared to take aim at Gilgamesh, a divine spear appeared before him. Arjuna turned his head to see Karna standing calmly nearby. "Do you wish to challenge me here?"

Karna shook his head, "That person is imbued with the power of Alaya, so go easy on him,"

"But isn't Alaya bringing us here to kill those who trespass?" Arjuna inquired.

"Let the monsters of Gaia handle what needs to be done. Can't you see that the others are holding back too?" Karna replied.

After considering Karna's words, Arjuna lowered his bow.

Despite calculating the time in his mind, Shirou struggled against both the army of Heroic Spirits and the monsters of Gaia. However, what left him feeling hopeless was the realization that there seemed to be no way out.

86400 seconds...

172800 seconds...

Counting. Running. Resisting. Struggling to survive. And then, feeling disappointed.

Despite the disappointment, he refused to give up.

His heart was no longer clouded by doubt.

Though he might be disappointed, he refused to despair.

He ran tirelessly, searching for an exit that didn't exist.

As time ticked away, Shirou found his magical energy reserves rapidly dwindling as he confronted both the monsters of Gaia and the army of Heroic Spirits of Alaya.

The monsters of Gaia were particularly dangerous, and Shirou had to activate his "Mana Burst" to stand a chance against them.

The Evil Flowers were able to absorb malice from the Heroic Spirits to restore magical energy, but the rate of restoration was far slower than the rate of depletion. As a result, all the energy was eventually used up.

Shirou constantly attacked and defended, repairing his wounds whenever he could. Despite his efforts, his magical energy was eventually depleted, leaving him unable to move.

Even Arcueid, who had been assisting him, suffered from heavy consumption, and eventually Marble Phantasm became difficult to operate.

Shirou was covered in wounds and had a tired expression on his face, but despite his injuries, his eyes remained bright. He had not given up hope.

He had just been pierced through the back by a monster modeled after the Hellhound, created by Gaia. Blood dripped slowly from the wound as he struggled to breathe. He tried to use his black mud to repair the wound, but without magical energy, it was no longer effective. Even moving was now difficult for him.

But despite his injuries, Shirou's eyes remained bright, showing that he had not given up hope. He was still searching for an exit.

All of his hard work finally paid off when Shirou spotted a broken passage in the distance, emitting the aura of the real world. It was undoubtedly the passage connecting to the real world and the way out of this place.

"Go, Arcueid! The exit is that way," Shirou gasped, his exhaustion apparent on his face as he gestured towards the passage.

Arcueid carried Shirou over her shoulder as they made their way towards the passage.
