From that attack, a huge blue wave that contained mana passed through her magic circles.

Crack-!

Crack-!

Space began cracking, producing tears that revealed a black void. Upon seeing this, Medea was shocked as she realized that the weak magus in front of her had teared a hole straight to the layer of [Real Number Space]!

Different from [Imaginary Number Space], the [Real Number Space] is the layer of reality in the universe. It is observable by a mortal's eye, unlike in the former whereas all they would see is incomprehensible knowledge.

With it being protected by the planet-sized Reality Marble, [The World], it's very difficult to penetrate through space. Even she could only do so with all the preparations that she has, considering that it is not the Age of God anymore—the time when her magic is still unhinged.

'Not good!'

Medea immediately put up her shields, only to fail miserably as they are shattered under the single strike of Rin. By the time she could react, the tip of the blade is already touching her neck.

Meeting with Rin's eyes, she soon realized that the girl from before had changed. Strong bloodlust is hidden in her scarlet pupils. Seeing her current look, Medea is surprised.

"Surrender." Rin coldly said.

Bam-!

At the same time, Kuzuki was sent flying from Sayaka's attack. Just as he was about to get up, Sayaka pointed her double swords in a cross shape. His neck slightly came in contact with it, causing a wound before it started to bleed.

Knowing that they can't do a comeback and that her Master's safety is the current priority, Medea made her choice.

With a thought, the Bounded Field that she set up in the Temple are disabled. Of course, she didn't surrender without a backhand. If the worst happens, she can at least send Kuzuki away using the magecraft that she inscribed in his body.

Seeing this, Rin took away her katana and swiftly sheathed it. Then, she manipulated space to form a cage that imprisoned both Medea and Kuzuki.

Knock-!

"Space manipulation... You're proficient at this, Tohsaka-san."

"Simple thing." Rin replied.

Hearing this, Sayaka understood why her mentor mentioned that personality changes are possible for Rin. Turns out, her other "selves" will manifest and unknowingly change her personality temporarily.

Suddenly, Rin looked at Shirou's direction with an interested look.

"It's over." She said with a calm tone. "As expected of Emiya-kun."

She didn't even realize that she had said those final words subconsciously...

"Let's go."

With that, they proceeded to where Shirou is.

*****

Clang-!

Bam-!

Boom-!

BOOM-!

The two Emiyas drew their bow and continuously launched "arrows" at each other. Though, they aren't actually arrows, but swords.

In this fight, Shirou chose quantity over quality. With him projecting low-cost destructive swords faster, he ca maintain the rhythm of the fight.

In the middle of his fingers, three modified [Caladbolg III] appeared.

Breathe.

Draw.

Fire.

Bang-!

A second later, Shirou's swords are already heading towards EMIYA. The latter easily intercepted them with his [Caladbolg II], a much stronger version of Shirou's. However, he didn't expect that the [Caladbolg III] that was sent this time is actually [Altered]!

BOOOM-!

A larger blast radius came from it, distorting space and destroying many things around it. Furthermore, an anti-thermal smoke came out of it, which is the result of Shirou projecting the [High-tech Smoke Bomb]. Even if he could only partially copy its effects, it's enough as a game changer.

"It's time..!"

A flash of light appeared in his palm before it assimilated into him. Then, his attire suddenly changed to that of EMIYA's. It has some differences though, such as his priest overcoat being tied to his waist, a [Holy Shroud] being tied to his right arm, and a red bandanna that is tied to his forehead.

Immediately, Shirou felt a qualitative change in him. As Servants are beings made of Ether, they are incomparable to normal magi. Only by becoming one could he finish this fight quickly as EMIYA is not like Gilgamesh.

Just his [Mind's Eye (True)] alone is enough to increase his survivability.

Shirou immediately kicked off while he projected Kanshou and Bakuya. The pair of blades in his hand grew in length, with them having jagged edges.

By the time EMIYA could "feel" where Shirou is, the latter crashed down at him with his Kanshou and Bakuya Overedge. This time, EMIYA's twin blades cracked easily before disintegrating into thin white particles.

Although, he is fast enough to hastily create two [Noble Phantasms] to buy him some time.

Crack-!

BAM-!

EMIYA controlled his blades skillfully, allowing him to be blasted off from Shirou. He easily regained his stance with a backflip and projected Kanshou and Bakuya once more.

Suddenly, he projected dozens of swords and aimed them at Shirou, in which the latter responded by intercepting using his own projections. 

Sou-!

Sou-!

He didn't stop there as he projected another pair of Kanshou and Bakuya before throwing them away. Shirou, now that he finished intercepting the missile-like swords, saw this attack and knew what he was planning.

'I can only do this once... but it is enough.' He thought as he "lowered" his defenses and bait EMIYA into using his ultimate attack.

Clang-!

Clang-!

Right after he blocked it, EMIYA appeared right in front of him with another Kanshou and Bakuya. Shirou reacted by converting his [Overedge] into a reverse grip, but he was still pushed back due to his bait.

"Hup!"

Instantly, a third pair of Kanshou and Bakuya appeared in EMIYA's hands before they became [Overedge].

With the previous thrown dagger plus his frontal attack, Shirou has no choice but to block them with his [Overedge] and a hastily made projection.

Unsurprisingly, he can barely block EMIYA's [Overedge], but the force in it is enough to make him kneel to the ground. It didn't help that the twin blades are now stuck into his body.

Still, EMIYA felt something wrong as a smile appeared in the bloodied Shirou.

"It's the end."

After saying that, thousands of projections appeared on top of him. He immediately connected it to Shirou's current change, but he didn't have enough time to react before he is drowned by the endless blades.

Meanwhile, Shirou is kept unharmed in the rain of swords.

"Strong..."

He soon got up and made some distance from EMIYA's location. By the time the sword rain ended, the [Class Card] that he temporarily got disappeared, reverting him back into his previous state.

Since he could gain random items and characteristics every time he visits the other worlds, he had only been lucky once as he got a temporary [Class Card] from the Shirou there. What's more, the acquisition rate there depends on his luck, so he couldn't get the rewards every day.

Aside from that, he got some cookbook, diary of Shirou being taught magecraft by Kiritsugu, a few thousand Yen, and so on.

"...You got me."

EMIYa suddenly said as he wiped the blood in his mouth with his still functional left arm. Though, many cuts are present in it, making it look worse. His hairstyle had inexplicably changed at this point, making one wonder if his gel runs out when he's severely injured.

Their Reality Marbles disappeared, returning them back to the real world. EMIYA had also received his new Master's telepathic message, but he didn't care about it.

For now, he's only focusing on Shirou's figure as well as how he possibly got those changes. In the end, he came to a single conclusion:

"That man... he had only appeared this time. It's him, huh..."
